Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to kf
I AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show, on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Ive everywhere on the iHeart Radio app. I think I
said that I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Confirmation hearings for President Trump's cabinet picks are done for
the week. Yesterday saw r F Kennedy Junior, Kash Betel's
Else Gabbard all face tough questioning. Let's see. In an
interview with Fox News earlier this week, JD. Vance suggested
it could be a struggle for these three to get confirmed.
He believes they'll all get through, said Republicans are gonna
have to fight each one. In terms of r RFK Junior,
(00:33):
I saw this morning referred to as a toin cost
a coin toss A coin cout is fun fun, huh
coin toss GM.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Did you see him go after Bernie Sanders?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I did.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Bernie Sanders was on both of the committees that.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
RFK Junior had to sit in front of, and he
went after him, talking about how much money Bernie has
received from pharmaceutical companies in his campaigns.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Over the course of yeah. Elizabeth Warren as well, by
the way. Two of the people that went after him,
Elizabeth Warren. I thought this was kind of short sighted,
and I mentioned it on Wednesday. Elizabeth Warren went after
RFK Junior for accepting money from lawsuits against Big Pharma,
like lawsuits said he was involved with or his son
(01:19):
was involved with working with a law firm that went
after Big Pharma, right, and it was like, don't you
know that's going to be spun right around in your
direction for accepting money and lining your pocket your pockets
with Big Pharma exactly, this is kind of short sighted.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Clearly she didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Nothing to see here, but American and Canadian fighter jets
had to be scrambled after multiple Russian warplanes were spotted
in the Arctic. NORAD says these Russian planes they stayed
in international airspace, so they were not technically a threat,
but we sent a couple of Canadian F eighteens and
some F thirty five's up just to, you know, just
(01:58):
to keep an eye on them. As we saw the
beginning of the movie Top Gun, although I didn't think
anybody flipped anybody off.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Well, speaking of drugs, the FDA has approved a new
type of non opioid pain medication. This is the first
of its kind of more than twenty years. Apparently it
doesn't go to your brain to screw with that, but
goes to the pain, apparently just to dumb it down
in the most base way. This is for adults to
(02:29):
treat moderate to severe acute pain. It's called navic Navics.
Gynaviics looks good to MEAs it's a non opioid pain
killer which does not have addictive properties.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
A non opioid analgesic therapeutic class for acute pain offers
an opportunity to mitigate certain risks associated with using an
opioid for pain and provides patients with another treatment option.
Couple clinical trials, they said it was found to reduce
moderate to severe acute pain for adults from base line
by about fifty percent in forty eight hours.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
They say it's found to be similarly effective as hydrocodone,
which is an opioid pain medication for reducing acute pain.
So in one trial, the drug was tested in patients
with a broader range of surgical and non surgical acute
pain conditions, found to be safe and effective.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
The drug cannot be used with certain other drugs that
strongly inhibit a certain enzyme in the liver. So not
everybody's going to be able to take this thing, depending
on other medicines that you may be on. And the
crazy story. The craziest thing about medicines. I know grapefruit, right,
Grapefruit should be avoided when you're taking jernovacs.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
It's funny. I had a dream about Mondo last night.
We were just like hanging out at a festival. There
was a lot of dirt. That's all I remember from
the dream. But anyway, Mondo is the first person in
my life where he's like, yeah, I can't eat X
Y ors like pomegranate or whatever because of certain medications
he was on. There's just certain foods that trigger a
reaction that is not advantageous.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
For you have the strange drug interaction.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
You have that strange thing where you can't eat vegetables.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
What are you talking about it?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I'm just kidding, that's not you. John has that? Yeah,
John has that?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
What it has a physical revulsion.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I wanted to bring this up. The NFL announced its
lowest number of concussions for a full season since the
league started tracking them in twenty fifteen. That's a huge deal,
and I'm such a cynic it. Had I not been
working in the NFL, I would say, oh, that's because
the league probably doesn't even check for them. Many you
just stop. It's just because they're just not counting or
(04:37):
they're lackadaisical. But in reality, I do have a front
row seat to it, and they are much more proactive
and they have been year after year after year on
that sideline in terms of sending the NFL Independent Mediator
into the injury tent to do their own assessment of
these concussions. I mean, they are on top of these things.
And these guys and gals are no nonsense people. So
(05:00):
that's a great piece of information.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
When we come back, we're going to talk about the
bird flu. This thing is not going away anytime soon.
You thought egg prices were high, Now just wait till
you try to go buy a chicken. Oh that's what
happens when the egg well, you know, you know how
what did come first?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
You've never seen that.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
There's been a lot of people writing papers, scientific papers
about that, and I don't know why.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Sorry, but to be honest with you, I thought Stevie
Nicks looked amazing. She did look and as a woman
of her generation, she was she blew the crowd away.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, I mean, no matter.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
What used to be a little bit, but last night
she was outstanding.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
She's gonna blow the crowd away out of the park.
So she's Stevie Nicks. I mean you look at the
body of work she's put together, what she's been through,
all the iterations. It's the Soundtry mak the soundtrack of
our lives.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
She does not have to prove anything to me, I'll
just say that. But to prove anything to anybody, but
Stevie Nicks is not Stevie Nicks from nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
No, and neither are you remember how cute you were
back then?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Ten years old.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I still fit in those pants though, you do not. Hey, Amy,
what was that I've seen your ass?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
You do not?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I mean not really, I didn't see it naked. Never
mind stop talking. Kfi's Michael Monks is going to join us.
Apparently a Culver City man has been arrested and will
agree to plead guilty. He was the one flying the
drone that went into the wing of the Super Scooper
during the Palisades fire.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Yeah, apparently he's agreed to everything. He has agreed to
pay back the government of Quebec for the damage that
super Scooper. So yeah, MM, will have all the latest
coming up at bottom of the year, don't you say?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Mm?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah, that's Michael Monks. MM. Is that a new nickname
you've developed for him? I haven't. Didn't you missed that
whole conversation.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
No, I bet I was going to replay it. I
was going to pretend to be dumb so that you
could tell the story. Oh, it happened off the air
and nobody knows what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I was. I don't think it needs an explanation.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Okay, Hey Garan Shannon, Happy Friday. Hey, this is the
first hour of the show. So I'm not sure if
anybody else, how dare you called up to congratulate Shannon
on completing Dried Up January or whatever that month is called. Anyway,
I just want to saying gratulations.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I will say, we got fourteen hours left, thirteen and
a half hours left.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Right, so as could really hit the fan.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
You have no idea what the afternoon breaks.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It'd hit an early afternoon bender.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Hit twenty three dairy and poultry farms in Riverside County
have tested positive for avian flu. This virus, of course,
has caused outbreaks in several other areas. No human cases
have been detected in the county, but Riverside Health Systems
has told residents to take precautions. A growing number of
commercial agriculture facilities in wildlife have been exposed to the virus.
Earlier this month, there was one person hospitalized with the
(08:00):
first human case of bird flu H five and one,
and they actually died back in Louisiana. Again, many many
underlying conditions, but still something to be paying attention to.
Conway mentioned it yesterday. Egg prices has become sort of
the measuring stick for inflation and the cost of groceries lately.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I wonder if Conway eats a lot of eggs. I know,
I was gonna say, I don't see him as an
egg person. Oh yeah, I would. That's funny because my
first impression was I don't see him eating eggs, and
I was right, what do you think Conway eats? I
think fast food? Lot of fast food. Do you think
he has a dish that he makes, like, you know,
(08:42):
does he do a nice chateaubrion, a pork roast. Does
he do a rack of lamb?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I was going to say braised lamb shanks.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
If you have an idea of what Conway's specialty dishes like,
what would you say your specialty dish is?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I have been lately doing a very simple New York
strip steak cold seer, very nice.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
But you've also done some very exotic things. Oh, my
shock shuka, Your shock shuka really was outstanding. I mean,
your wife still talks about it. But every man has
at least one thing he does well in the kitchen,
a dish. I'm just wondering what Conways is? Is it
is it? Is it a bef beef struggle?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Wouldn't be ironic if it was an egg based dish
like attata or a kish or something.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Maybe some spinach up in there, oh with a little bit.
Maybe the spinach is a little uh, it's kind to
the side.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
To the side to the side. Elevated egg prices they
say are going to persist through the year. USDA predicts
that egg prices, which can actually fluctuate pretty signific month
to month, could rise by more than twenty percent in.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Twenty twenty five. My wife and I have.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
We don't eat a whole lot of eggs, but it
is I always love eggs. Eggs are always there. I
love a favorite. I love them and all of mine.
But we've gone to small places to get the eggs, like, yeah,
that's good. Farmer's market, farmer's market, those are the best.
I agree.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Whenever we talk about eggs, I have to go and
talk about my egg rant because I think it's a
service to the community.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
We'll determine that.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
There is a movie starring Julia Roberts and it is
called Runaway Bride. It is an old movie, yes, but
one of the main plot points of the movie is
that she just meets people and she does things that
they want to do, and then she realizes that we're
going up to wedding day that that's not really her.
She's just a people pleaser, and so she runs away
(10:53):
from the wedding and the guy that she ends up
falling with spoiler alert after thirty years says, how do
you like your eggs? And she's like, anyways, Like, no,
everyone has a specific way if they like their eggs.
No one's ever found out how you like your eggs, Like,
none of these guys have ever thought about how you
like your eggs, and so he makes her eggs in
all the forms, poached eggs, over easy eggs, over hard eggs,
(11:15):
scrambled eggs, all the eggs the Bubba Gump shrimp egg
freaking plotline, and she finds out that she like scrambled
the best or whatever. I don't remember to which I say, bs,
I love eggs in all forms. Most people who love
eggs love them all the different ways. Right, yes, yes,
(11:38):
thank you for agreeing with me, and I know you
only are doing so to avoid any sort of weird reaction.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Listen, I have I didn't think I was gonna have
less desire to see that movie now that you've described it.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
I wish that movie was never made. That would make
my life better. That movie never made I agree.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Another Collision in the Sky an update on that, albeit
a much minor one, but could have been a disastrous situation.
Man in Culver City this morning agreeing to plead guilty
to operating that drone that crashed into the Super Scooper
when it was trying to battle the Palisades fire. Michael Monks,
or as we know him as m M is on
the story, joins us now with all of the latest.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Name is Peter.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Wait a minute, mare, there we go. No, you're on
the right one. No, it's gonna Jacob's problem solving as
we speak.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
No, try that one over there.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
See if they're wow. I didn't know we were in modesto.
Speaker 6 (12:51):
That one works everybody. My first day in radio. Nice
to be with everybody. Are we blaming that on Jacob?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
No, we'll blame it on the dilapidation. And it's like
a never mind. I was going to make an awful joke.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Now it's off. Did you turn it off, Jacob? Somebody's
turned it back on. There it is okay, Now that
was his fault, Mike, Michael, that was Michael.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I didn't touch it.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
That's all right. Listen, could someone launch a drone at
me right now, because take me out.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
When rehearsal's over.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
It's gonna sound great now that we've got all the
kinks worked out.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Everybody back to one, Yeah, okay and action. His name
is Peter Ackerman. He's a guy from Culver City, and
apparently as the Palisades fire was raging, he thought he'd
get a bird's eye view of it, so he took
a drone down to the third Street promenade in Santa
Monica and found a spot in the parking garage there,
launched this drone to the sky. But as you recall,
(13:43):
it was a pretty significant scene, this fire, a lot
of smoke in the air. He loses sight of this drone,
doesn't see where it's going, and ultimately it heads right
into one of these Super Scoopers. It causes significant damage
to it, enough damage that the Superscooper had to be grounded,
not just in that moment, but for several days.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
So this moron didn't have enough aerial coverage of arguably
one of the worst disasters we've seen in Los Angeles
with what is it six news helicopters in the air.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
He needed his own perspective.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
This guy, if this checks out, is not a moron,
well not intellectually.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
No, no, this qualifies him to be a moron.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I'm just saying, well, I don't want to get into
it because I have not confirmed this identity being this
same person, but.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Someone well he's fifty six.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
He's a fifty six year old guy from Culver City
went over to Santa Monica and did this. By the way,
the Super Scooper was a on loan from the government
of Quebec, so this was kind of an international incident
that took place there. So as as dangerous as this was,
as significant as it was to the firefighting efforts, he
only faces a year in federal prison for this charge
(15:00):
related to flying this unmanned aircraft and in dangerous territory.
He has agreed to plead guilty. He's also agreed to
pay restitution to the government of Quebec and about sixty
five thousand dollars. That also includes some money for the
aircraft repair company that had to fix this thing so
it could get back up, and one hundred and fifty
hours of community service related to wildfire relief effort.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I was watching some of the news conference and they
were showing images of parts of the drone that I
don't know if they recovered from inside the wing, basically
because that it where it caused the damage.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
How were they able to track that to this guy?
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Have?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
They said?
Speaker 6 (15:38):
They said it was a significant investigation, and so everything
you buy has some sort of bar on it. And
I'm sure that that helped them because.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
This was a few weeks ago.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
I mean, this was in the early stages of this
Palisades fire, so it did take them a while. Now
it's not like they hauled him in today, they've been
talking to him because they managed to get him not
only to please guilty, but to give them additional details
and to basically cry about it and agree to all
of these additional I guess I should say conditions, which
includes the restitution and the community service.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I'm comfortable enough with nailing down that this is the
guy who works in the gaming and virtual reality community,
slash industry very successful.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
This is a game he shouldn't have been playing exactly,
and now he's gonna possibly be.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
But you know, you kind of wonder, like, who is
this person? You know, it just seems like one of
those people who has an interest in games and drones
and things like that, you know, not the crazy person living.
I mean, it was not smart. It was dumb. It
was moronic, absolutely, but sometimes it's fun to chronicle who
exactly has these drones, who's playing around with them?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
And he wasn't the only one, no.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I remember, we had a lot of.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Folks that were out there trying to get these views,
and law enforcement had to continually come out in both
major wildfires we had burning at the same time in
Elli counyt.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Don't do this, Okay, open question?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, who is not a moron who flies a drone
after being told repeatedly by law enforcement to not fly
a drone in an area because it's not only it's
not only interrupting potentially their at that's still at that
point life saving efforts to put this fire.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Out, you run the risk of killing somebody.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I mean that we're lucky that this plane is an
absolute workhorse tank and is capable of flying with a
giant hole in its own wing.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
It could have been ridiculously bad for this guy.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I think some people think that they've got mastery over
their over their machines or what have you, and you
don't have any idea. You're not privy to the radio
communications on those super soakers or where they're headed or
where they're you know where they're going in terms of
where you are and your spatial understanding of that.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
I love that he lost sight of it. I mean,
that's his excuse. He lost sight of it, and at
that point you I mean.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
We'll also think about where he was positionally, if he's
in the parking garage at third Street, third Street, Nomina,
I mean, so you can see the significance of the fire.
But that's a pretty good distance for a drone, a
personal drone to be flying. So with all that smoke,
there's no question that he would lose sight of it.
So I guess the question about being a moron, is
it related to intellect or recklessness in this case a
(18:22):
reckless moron for sure.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Yes, absolutely, Thank.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
You, Michael Monks, thank you very much. I just wanted
to mention that the LA Mission I'm sure you heard
in Amy's show this morning, is going to be helping
out victims from the Altadena fire. This is tomorrow, February first,
from eleven am to four pm at Orange Grove eight
fifty five North Orange Grove in Pasadena. Hot meals, mealboxes,
(18:47):
medical services.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
This is key.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
They're going to have mobile laundry services, so you can
bring your laundry, you have your clothes washed and dried
and all of the things. So in fact, they say
they'll have your clothes washed and folded and ready for
you by the end of the event. Hygiene supplies, new clothing,
legal services, financial assistants, all of it. What a great
event for people that are still suffering from the Altadena fire.
(19:11):
Again tomorrow eleven am to four pm at eight point
fifty five North Orange Grove Boulevard there in Pasadena.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Finding out details about this crash between a helicopter and
a regional jet just off of the runways at Ronald
Reagan National Airport in DC. The controller who was handling
helicopters in the airport's vicinity Wednesday night was also instructing
planes that were landing in departing, and those are usually
two jobs that are assigned to two different controllers. Apparently
(19:40):
the supervisor believed that the air traffic volume had decreased
enough that they sent somebody home, but it does increase
the workload for the air traffic controller and can complicate
the job. We're getting more information about the identities of
the sixty seven people who were killed and that will continue.
Today also happens to be the twenty fifth anniversary of
(20:02):
the crash of Alaska Airlines Flight two sixty one, and
today they are doing a planned program to memorialize the
people who died on Alaska Airlines Flight to sixty one
when it went off the coast of sort of Port
one Emi Channel Islands area, and in fact, later on
(20:24):
today they are doing a full memorial about three o'clock
today at the monument that exists there in Port Oneimi.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
So, coming up after Debra's news at the top of
the hour, we just heard from the White House. We
have the Press Secretary about the tariffs that will kick
in tomorrow on Canada and Mexico and whether this was
would result in quick price increases to us here in
the United States. We'll have all that information for you
coming up after the news, but first we have to
(20:52):
tell you at about a bear.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Guys, when you go back to your home after you've
been evacuated, if you have a crawl space, you probably
have a bear.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
I was look this big dopey guy. He looks just like.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
He's very sweet. He's five and twenty five pounds. Makes
me feel so dainty. I was in the line waiting
for the drive through line for the pharmacy yesterday and
I had the car off and I could hear something
a little, just very faint in the hood inside. Sounded
(21:29):
like it was coming from the hood. I open up
the glove box, nothing there, and then I'm like, is
that coming from It's coming from in front of me,
somewhere like in the dash. I think it was a critter.
I think there's something.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
That's the end of your story, as you think there
was something in it.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
I didn't check.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Ah, come on, you're gonna tell me there was something
in there. It could be like a raccoon living in
the dashboard.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I don't know. Can that happen?
Speaker 3 (21:53):
I guess it could, but it would happen.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
There seems like living in my trunk. I have critters
all over where we live.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Wow. Could you?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Wow? That was too far even for you?
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Could you?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
If the car was built probably before nineteen eighty, there's
there's there's bigger allowances perhaps and room for them to
get in there.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
But I don't think lately.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
There's I want to take a look under the hood
and see if there's a rat in there.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
I still want to I.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Still want to know why you immediately assumed there was
a critter in your car.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
What else would it be?
Speaker 3 (22:33):
I don't know. It's just your fan on their air
conditioner turning off or something. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Was it running the air conditioner yesterday? Okay, I named it,
But what did you name it? Nothing? You're going to
make fun of me, I am. Let's talk about the
bear in the home.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Wildlife officials.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Actually it was utility officials who were going into this
home to restart and make sure that utilities were accessible
to this family. But they couldn't get into the crawl
space because Barry was already there. Some people have called
this bear Victor, some call him Barry. I would go
by Victor. Look at that face, yeah, yeah, no matter
(23:14):
what his name is. They said that he was probably
pretty scared, that's why he was there. They eventually brought
him out, using some fruit and some peanut butter to
lure him out after about a day. Since the bear
was too large to tranquilize him, they just trapped him.
They moved him out into the national forest. Said he's
pretty harmless. Just want some good trash, like we all
(23:36):
like some good trash, says neighbor Patty Smith. She was
worried about all of the wildlife in her neighborhood because
they suffered through the fire as well. They fitted this guy,
Victor Berry with a GPS collar relocated him back to
the forest.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
All right, coming up next, What do the tariffs mean
for us at the check stand? We'll get into what
we know. These are set to go into effect tomorrow
for Canada and Mexico. We'll get into it right here
on Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
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 kf
I AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show, on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Ive everywhere on the iHeart Radio app. I think I
said that I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Confirmation hearings for President Trump's cabinet picks are done for
the week. Yesterday saw r F Kennedy Junior, Kash Betel's
Else Gabbard all face tough questioning. Let's see. In an
interview with Fox News earlier this week, JD. Vance suggested
it could be a struggle for these three to get confirmed.
He believes they'll all get through, said Republicans are gonna
have to fight each one. In terms of r RFK Junior,
(00:33):
I saw this morning referred to as a toin cost
a coin toss A coin cout is fun fun, huh
coin toss GM.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Did you see him go after Bernie Sanders?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I did.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Bernie Sanders was on both of the committees that.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
RFK Junior had to sit in front of, and he
went after him, talking about how much money Bernie has
received from pharmaceutical companies in his campaigns.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Over the course of yeah. Elizabeth Warren as well, by
the way. Two of the people that went after him,
Elizabeth Warren. I thought this was kind of short sighted,
and I mentioned it on Wednesday. Elizabeth Warren went after
RFK Junior for accepting money from lawsuits against Big Pharma,
like lawsuits said he was involved with or his son
(01:19):
was involved with working with a law firm that went
after Big Pharma, right, and it was like, don't you
know that's going to be spun right around in your
direction for accepting money and lining your pocket your pockets
with Big Pharma exactly, this is kind of short sighted.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Clearly she didn't know that.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Nothing to see here, but American and Canadian fighter jets
had to be scrambled after multiple Russian warplanes were spotted
in the Arctic. NORAD says these Russian planes they stayed
in international airspace, so they were not technically a threat,
but we sent a couple of Canadian F eighteens and
some F thirty five's up just to, you know, just
(01:58):
to keep an eye on them. As we saw the
beginning of the movie Top Gun, although I didn't think
anybody flipped anybody off.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Well, speaking of drugs, the FDA has approved a new
type of non opioid pain medication. This is the first
of its kind of more than twenty years. Apparently it
doesn't go to your brain to screw with that, but
goes to the pain, apparently just to dumb it down
in the most base way. This is for adults to
(02:29):
treat moderate to severe acute pain. It's called navic Navics.
Gynaviics looks good to MEAs it's a non opioid pain
killer which does not have addictive properties.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
A non opioid analgesic therapeutic class for acute pain offers
an opportunity to mitigate certain risks associated with using an
opioid for pain and provides patients with another treatment option.
Couple clinical trials, they said it was found to reduce
moderate to severe acute pain for adults from base line
by about fifty percent in forty eight hours.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
They say it's found to be similarly effective as hydrocodone,
which is an opioid pain medication for reducing acute pain.
So in one trial, the drug was tested in patients
with a broader range of surgical and non surgical acute
pain conditions, found to be safe and effective.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
The drug cannot be used with certain other drugs that
strongly inhibit a certain enzyme in the liver. So not
everybody's going to be able to take this thing, depending
on other medicines that you may be on. And the
crazy story. The craziest thing about medicines. I know grapefruit, right,
Grapefruit should be avoided when you're taking jernovacs.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
It's funny. I had a dream about Mondo last night.
We were just like hanging out at a festival. There
was a lot of dirt. That's all I remember from
the dream. But anyway, Mondo is the first person in
my life where he's like, yeah, I can't eat X
Y ors like pomegranate or whatever because of certain medications
he was on. There's just certain foods that trigger a
reaction that is not advantageous.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
For you have the strange drug interaction.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
You have that strange thing where you can't eat vegetables.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
What are you talking about it?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I'm just kidding, that's not you. John has that? Yeah,
John has that?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
What it has a physical revulsion.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
I wanted to bring this up. The NFL announced its
lowest number of concussions for a full season since the
league started tracking them in twenty fifteen. That's a huge deal,
and I'm such a cynic it. Had I not been
working in the NFL, I would say, oh, that's because
the league probably doesn't even check for them. Many you
just stop. It's just because they're just not counting or
(04:37):
they're lackadaisical. But in reality, I do have a front
row seat to it, and they are much more proactive
and they have been year after year after year on
that sideline in terms of sending the NFL Independent Mediator
into the injury tent to do their own assessment of
these concussions. I mean, they are on top of these things.
And these guys and gals are no nonsense people. So
(05:00):
that's a great piece of information.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
When we come back, we're going to talk about the
bird flu. This thing is not going away anytime soon.
You thought egg prices were high, Now just wait till
you try to go buy a chicken. Oh that's what
happens when the egg well, you know, you know how
what did come first?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
You've never seen that.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
There's been a lot of people writing papers, scientific papers
about that, and I don't know why.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Sorry, but to be honest with you, I thought Stevie
Nicks looked amazing. She did look and as a woman
of her generation, she was she blew the crowd away.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, I mean, no matter.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
What used to be a little bit, but last night
she was outstanding.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
She's gonna blow the crowd away out of the park.
So she's Stevie Nicks. I mean you look at the
body of work she's put together, what she's been through,
all the iterations. It's the Soundtry mak the soundtrack of
our lives.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
She does not have to prove anything to me, I'll
just say that. But to prove anything to anybody, but
Stevie Nicks is not Stevie Nicks from nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
No, and neither are you remember how cute you were
back then?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Ten years old.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I still fit in those pants though, you do not. Hey, Amy,
what was that I've seen your ass?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
You do not?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I mean not really, I didn't see it naked. Never
mind stop talking. Kfi's Michael Monks is going to join us.
Apparently a Culver City man has been arrested and will
agree to plead guilty. He was the one flying the
drone that went into the wing of the Super Scooper
during the Palisades fire.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Yeah, apparently he's agreed to everything. He has agreed to
pay back the government of Quebec for the damage that
super Scooper. So yeah, MM, will have all the latest
coming up at bottom of the year, don't you say?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Mm?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Yeah, that's Michael Monks. MM. Is that a new nickname
you've developed for him? I haven't. Didn't you missed that
whole conversation.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
No, I bet I was going to replay it. I
was going to pretend to be dumb so that you
could tell the story. Oh, it happened off the air
and nobody knows what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I was. I don't think it needs an explanation.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Okay, Hey Garan Shannon, Happy Friday. Hey, this is the
first hour of the show. So I'm not sure if
anybody else, how dare you called up to congratulate Shannon
on completing Dried Up January or whatever that month is called. Anyway,
I just want to saying gratulations.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I will say, we got fourteen hours left, thirteen and
a half hours left.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Right, so as could really hit the fan.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
You have no idea what the afternoon breaks.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It'd hit an early afternoon bender.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Hit twenty three dairy and poultry farms in Riverside County
have tested positive for avian flu. This virus, of course,
has caused outbreaks in several other areas. No human cases
have been detected in the county, but Riverside Health Systems
has told residents to take precautions. A growing number of
commercial agriculture facilities in wildlife have been exposed to the virus.
Earlier this month, there was one person hospitalized with the
(08:00):
first human case of bird flu H five and one,
and they actually died back in Louisiana. Again, many many
underlying conditions, but still something to be paying attention to.
Conway mentioned it yesterday. Egg prices has become sort of
the measuring stick for inflation and the cost of groceries lately.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I wonder if Conway eats a lot of eggs. I know,
I was gonna say, I don't see him as an
egg person. Oh yeah, I would. That's funny because my
first impression was I don't see him eating eggs, and
I was right, what do you think Conway eats? I
think fast food? Lot of fast food. Do you think
he has a dish that he makes, like, you know,
(08:42):
does he do a nice chateaubrion, a pork roast. Does
he do a rack of lamb?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I was going to say braised lamb shanks.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
If you have an idea of what Conway's specialty dishes like,
what would you say your specialty dish is?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I have been lately doing a very simple New York
strip steak cold seer, very nice.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
But you've also done some very exotic things. Oh, my
shock shuka, Your shock shuka really was outstanding. I mean,
your wife still talks about it. But every man has
at least one thing he does well in the kitchen,
a dish. I'm just wondering what Conways is? Is it
is it? Is it a bef beef struggle?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Wouldn't be ironic if it was an egg based dish
like attata or a kish or something.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Maybe some spinach up in there, oh with a little bit.
Maybe the spinach is a little uh, it's kind to
the side.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
To the side to the side. Elevated egg prices they
say are going to persist through the year. USDA predicts
that egg prices, which can actually fluctuate pretty signific month
to month, could rise by more than twenty percent in.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Twenty twenty five. My wife and I have.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
We don't eat a whole lot of eggs, but it
is I always love eggs. Eggs are always there. I
love a favorite. I love them and all of mine.
But we've gone to small places to get the eggs, like, yeah,
that's good. Farmer's market, farmer's market, those are the best.
I agree.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Whenever we talk about eggs, I have to go and
talk about my egg rant because I think it's a
service to the community.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
We'll determine that.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
There is a movie starring Julia Roberts and it is
called Runaway Bride. It is an old movie, yes, but
one of the main plot points of the movie is
that she just meets people and she does things that
they want to do, and then she realizes that we're
going up to wedding day that that's not really her.
She's just a people pleaser, and so she runs away
(10:53):
from the wedding and the guy that she ends up
falling with spoiler alert after thirty years says, how do
you like your eggs? And she's like, anyways, Like, no,
everyone has a specific way if they like their eggs.
No one's ever found out how you like your eggs, Like,
none of these guys have ever thought about how you
like your eggs, and so he makes her eggs in
all the forms, poached eggs, over easy eggs, over hard eggs,
(11:15):
scrambled eggs, all the eggs the Bubba Gump shrimp egg
freaking plotline, and she finds out that she like scrambled
the best or whatever. I don't remember to which I say, bs,
I love eggs in all forms. Most people who love
eggs love them all the different ways. Right, yes, yes,
(11:38):
thank you for agreeing with me, and I know you
only are doing so to avoid any sort of weird reaction.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Listen, I have I didn't think I was gonna have
less desire to see that movie now that you've described it.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
I wish that movie was never made. That would make
my life better. That movie never made I agree.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Another Collision in the Sky an update on that, albeit
a much minor one, but could have been a disastrous situation.
Man in Culver City this morning agreeing to plead guilty
to operating that drone that crashed into the Super Scooper
when it was trying to battle the Palisades fire. Michael Monks,
or as we know him as m M is on
the story, joins us now with all of the latest.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
Name is Peter.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Wait a minute, mare, there we go. No, you're on
the right one. No, it's gonna Jacob's problem solving as
we speak.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
No, try that one over there.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
See if they're wow. I didn't know we were in modesto.
Speaker 6 (12:51):
That one works everybody. My first day in radio. Nice
to be with everybody. Are we blaming that on Jacob?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
No, we'll blame it on the dilapidation. And it's like
a never mind. I was going to make an awful joke.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Now it's off. Did you turn it off, Jacob? Somebody's
turned it back on. There it is okay, Now that
was his fault, Mike, Michael, that was Michael.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I didn't touch it.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
That's all right. Listen, could someone launch a drone at
me right now, because take me out.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
When rehearsal's over.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
It's gonna sound great now that we've got all the
kinks worked out.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Everybody back to one, Yeah, okay and action. His name
is Peter Ackerman. He's a guy from Culver City, and
apparently as the Palisades fire was raging, he thought he'd
get a bird's eye view of it, so he took
a drone down to the third Street promenade in Santa
Monica and found a spot in the parking garage there,
launched this drone to the sky. But as you recall,
(13:43):
it was a pretty significant scene, this fire, a lot
of smoke in the air. He loses sight of this drone,
doesn't see where it's going, and ultimately it heads right
into one of these Super Scoopers. It causes significant damage
to it, enough damage that the Superscooper had to be grounded,
not just in that moment, but for several days.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
So this moron didn't have enough aerial coverage of arguably
one of the worst disasters we've seen in Los Angeles
with what is it six news helicopters in the air.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
He needed his own perspective.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
This guy, if this checks out, is not a moron,
well not intellectually.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
No, no, this qualifies him to be a moron.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
I'm just saying, well, I don't want to get into
it because I have not confirmed this identity being this
same person, but.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Someone well he's fifty six.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
He's a fifty six year old guy from Culver City
went over to Santa Monica and did this. By the way,
the Super Scooper was a on loan from the government
of Quebec, so this was kind of an international incident
that took place there. So as as dangerous as this was,
as significant as it was to the firefighting efforts, he
only faces a year in federal prison for this charge
(15:00):
related to flying this unmanned aircraft and in dangerous territory.
He has agreed to plead guilty. He's also agreed to
pay restitution to the government of Quebec and about sixty
five thousand dollars. That also includes some money for the
aircraft repair company that had to fix this thing so
it could get back up, and one hundred and fifty
hours of community service related to wildfire relief effort.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I was watching some of the news conference and they
were showing images of parts of the drone that I
don't know if they recovered from inside the wing, basically
because that it where it caused the damage.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
How were they able to track that to this guy?
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Have?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
They said?
Speaker 6 (15:38):
They said it was a significant investigation, and so everything
you buy has some sort of bar on it. And
I'm sure that that helped them because.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
This was a few weeks ago.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
I mean, this was in the early stages of this
Palisades fire, so it did take them a while. Now
it's not like they hauled him in today, they've been
talking to him because they managed to get him not
only to please guilty, but to give them additional details
and to basically cry about it and agree to all
of these additional I guess I should say conditions, which
includes the restitution and the community service.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I'm comfortable enough with nailing down that this is the
guy who works in the gaming and virtual reality community,
slash industry very successful.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
This is a game he shouldn't have been playing exactly,
and now he's gonna possibly be.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
But you know, you kind of wonder, like, who is
this person? You know, it just seems like one of
those people who has an interest in games and drones
and things like that, you know, not the crazy person living.
I mean, it was not smart. It was dumb. It
was moronic, absolutely, but sometimes it's fun to chronicle who
exactly has these drones, who's playing around with them?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
And he wasn't the only one, no.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I remember, we had a lot of.
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Folks that were out there trying to get these views,
and law enforcement had to continually come out in both
major wildfires we had burning at the same time in
Elli counyt.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Don't do this, Okay, open question?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, who is not a moron who flies a drone
after being told repeatedly by law enforcement to not fly
a drone in an area because it's not only it's
not only interrupting potentially their at that's still at that
point life saving efforts to put this fire.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Out, you run the risk of killing somebody.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I mean that we're lucky that this plane is an
absolute workhorse tank and is capable of flying with a
giant hole in its own wing.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
It could have been ridiculously bad for this guy.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I think some people think that they've got mastery over
their over their machines or what have you, and you
don't have any idea. You're not privy to the radio
communications on those super soakers or where they're headed or
where they're you know where they're going in terms of
where you are and your spatial understanding of that.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
I love that he lost sight of it. I mean,
that's his excuse. He lost sight of it, and at
that point you I mean.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
We'll also think about where he was positionally, if he's
in the parking garage at third Street, third Street, Nomina,
I mean, so you can see the significance of the fire.
But that's a pretty good distance for a drone, a
personal drone to be flying. So with all that smoke,
there's no question that he would lose sight of it.
So I guess the question about being a moron, is
it related to intellect or recklessness in this case a
(18:22):
reckless moron for sure.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Yes, absolutely, Thank.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
You, Michael Monks, thank you very much. I just wanted
to mention that the LA Mission I'm sure you heard
in Amy's show this morning, is going to be helping
out victims from the Altadena fire. This is tomorrow, February first,
from eleven am to four pm at Orange Grove eight
fifty five North Orange Grove in Pasadena. Hot meals, mealboxes,
(18:47):
medical services.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
This is key.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
They're going to have mobile laundry services, so you can
bring your laundry, you have your clothes washed and dried
and all of the things. So in fact, they say
they'll have your clothes washed and folded and ready for
you by the end of the event. Hygiene supplies, new clothing,
legal services, financial assistants, all of it. What a great
event for people that are still suffering from the Altadena fire.
(19:11):
Again tomorrow eleven am to four pm at eight point
fifty five North Orange Grove Boulevard there in Pasadena.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Finding out details about this crash between a helicopter and
a regional jet just off of the runways at Ronald
Reagan National Airport in DC. The controller who was handling
helicopters in the airport's vicinity Wednesday night was also instructing
planes that were landing in departing, and those are usually
two jobs that are assigned to two different controllers. Apparently
(19:40):
the supervisor believed that the air traffic volume had decreased
enough that they sent somebody home, but it does increase
the workload for the air traffic controller and can complicate
the job. We're getting more information about the identities of
the sixty seven people who were killed and that will continue.
Today also happens to be the twenty fifth anniversary of
(20:02):
the crash of Alaska Airlines Flight two sixty one, and
today they are doing a planned program to memorialize the
people who died on Alaska Airlines Flight to sixty one
when it went off the coast of sort of Port
one Emi Channel Islands area, and in fact, later on
(20:24):
today they are doing a full memorial about three o'clock
today at the monument that exists there in Port Oneimi.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
So, coming up after Debra's news at the top of
the hour, we just heard from the White House. We
have the Press Secretary about the tariffs that will kick
in tomorrow on Canada and Mexico and whether this was
would result in quick price increases to us here in
the United States. We'll have all that information for you
coming up after the news, but first we have to
(20:52):
tell you at about a bear.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Guys, when you go back to your home after you've
been evacuated, if you have a crawl space, you probably
have a bear.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
I was look this big dopey guy. He looks just like.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
He's very sweet. He's five and twenty five pounds. Makes
me feel so dainty. I was in the line waiting
for the drive through line for the pharmacy yesterday and
I had the car off and I could hear something
a little, just very faint in the hood inside. Sounded
(21:29):
like it was coming from the hood. I open up
the glove box, nothing there, and then I'm like, is
that coming from It's coming from in front of me,
somewhere like in the dash. I think it was a critter.
I think there's something.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
That's the end of your story, as you think there
was something in it.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
I didn't check.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Ah, come on, you're gonna tell me there was something
in there. It could be like a raccoon living in
the dashboard.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I don't know. Can that happen?
Speaker 3 (21:53):
I guess it could, but it would happen.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
There seems like living in my trunk. I have critters
all over where we live.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Wow. Could you?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Wow? That was too far even for you?
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Could you?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
If the car was built probably before nineteen eighty, there's
there's there's bigger allowances perhaps and room for them to
get in there.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
But I don't think lately.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
There's I want to take a look under the hood
and see if there's a rat in there.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
I still want to I.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Still want to know why you immediately assumed there was
a critter in your car.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
What else would it be?
Speaker 3 (22:33):
I don't know. It's just your fan on their air
conditioner turning off or something. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Was it running the air conditioner yesterday? Okay, I named it,
But what did you name it? Nothing? You're going to
make fun of me, I am. Let's talk about the
bear in the home.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Wildlife officials.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Actually it was utility officials who were going into this
home to restart and make sure that utilities were accessible
to this family. But they couldn't get into the crawl
space because Barry was already there. Some people have called
this bear Victor, some call him Barry. I would go
by Victor. Look at that face, yeah, yeah, no matter
(23:14):
what his name is. They said that he was probably
pretty scared, that's why he was there. They eventually brought
him out, using some fruit and some peanut butter to
lure him out after about a day. Since the bear
was too large to tranquilize him, they just trapped him.
They moved him out into the national forest. Said he's
pretty harmless. Just want some good trash, like we all
(23:36):
like some good trash, says neighbor Patty Smith. She was
worried about all of the wildlife in her neighborhood because
they suffered through the fire as well. They fitted this guy,
Victor Berry with a GPS collar relocated him back to
the forest.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
All right, coming up next, What do the tariffs mean
for us at the check stand? We'll get into what
we know. These are set to go into effect tomorrow
for Canada and Mexico. We'll get into it right here
on Gary and Shannon.

I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
