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. I was just telling the girls,
Michelle and and we were talking about Sunday Night Football,
and I was saying, it reminds me of watching a
band that I really liked that was really good, Like
(00:24):
growing up with the band Deaf Leopard comes to mind.
I saw them in recent years at the Forum Love
Deaf Leopard. You know Hysteria nineteen eighty nine, Yes, all
of it.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Guns n' Roses, same kind of vibe.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Axel grew up watching Axel Rose Slash, and then you
see them in present day and you feel kind of sad.
And that's kind of how I still That's kind of
how I felt about Aaron Rodgers last night.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
You just feel kind of sad because.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I'm sitting there. I'm watching this game somewhere in the
first quarter, the light and Sunday Night Football, and Aaron
Rodgers has the ball and he's dropping back and I'm
right there. I'm like, this is so cool, this is
so freaking cool. Aaron Rodgers Sunday Night Football, and then
he just looks crippled, you know, and you're just like, oh,
man like and it's not all his fault, but it's
(01:18):
just the way he plays too, where he just looks
petulant all the time. He's got to get it out
quick and if he doesn't, nothing happens. And nothing happened
for the Steelers the entire night. It was just kind
of as much as I enjoyed it being a Chargers fan,
with not stressing out the entire game at all.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
And historically bad performance for him. They were saying, well,
it was late touchdown. It would have been arguably his
worst performance of his career.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
It was, and I think that's why he came back
in the game in the fourth quarter when nothing mattered,
for those gar for those garbage runs, just to just
to rise that stat line.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
But man, that was uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Hot, was it? Well, I guess his nighttime It wasn't. No,
it was per it was sixty five degrees, it was
a warm night. It's gonna be ninety degrees today.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
This is crazy. And then rain on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Now, that was not my favorite, uh my favorite event
of the weekend. My favorite event of the weekend was
seeing your Theater show, which by the way, and I
think I do this every year, is in the ramp
up to your theater show that's usually around this time
of year.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I make light of it. I call it adult theater.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Haha, wink wink, la la la, And you know, are
you going to be on Broadway and all the things.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
And I do all the jokes because I have to.
I mean, it's just it just it just goes with
the territory.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
I know what I'm in for.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
But you do.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Such a wonderful job. And I will get into my
full review coming up later, but the whole production truly
belongs outside of that. Well, it's a very large church,
but it's a small venue inside a large property. It's
so well done and it's so well acted. Anyway, we'll
get into that. First of all, the government it's back
(03:07):
up and running.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Well, we hope.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
So last night they came up with the deal, thank you,
by the way, they came up with a deal to
end the government shut down. A group of moderate Democrats.
Eight of them agreed to proceed without the guaranteed extension
of healthcare subsidies. Some of the other Democrats were really
angry that there was no concrete deal, but Jeene Shaheen,
(03:29):
for example, one of those senators, those Democratic senators who
voted to continue this from New Hampshire, said they do
have a concrete plan.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
We have a guaranteed vote by a guaranteed day on
a bill that we will write, not that the Republicans
will write, although I do think it's important for us thing.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
It's important for us thing gets to.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Engage with them because we need a bipartisan bill that
we know is going to get a Nact that to
provide the relief that Americans need. And I think there's
a commitment on the part of many of our college
than to do that.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Here's an interesting aspect of this, and I'm not sure
if it plays into it. She Derek Gene Shaheen, Maggie Hassan,
and Angus King, three of the group of eight that
voted in favor, are all former governors. I don't know
if that means that they have a different perspective on this.
They have a different perspective on the shutdown itself, but
it is interesting in my mind.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Now.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has said Republicans are going
to sit with this if they don't come through with
that planned vote on healthcare subsidies.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
I make no mistake about it. The American people know
who is inflicting this healthcare trauma on them, Donald Trump
and the Republicans. Americans will remember a Republican in transigence
every time they make a sky high payment on health insurance.
So we are going to fight legislatively, fight back home,
(04:52):
fight in the courts, and bring this fight in the elections.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
That guy's days may be numbered as the Senate Minority leader.
Others are absolutely roasting him. He voted against it, but
they're roasting him for allowing this to even get to
where it is.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
The consequences of the shutdown are compounding, as they do
when you have backup in the air traffic control system.
Airlines canceling more than two thousand flights yesterday for the
first time since the shutdown began. When the domino effect
will end, we'll get into that is well when we return.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Also your chance at one thousand dollars.
Speaker 7 (05:30):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
There is cheating all over the place.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Now we've got MLB pictures that are getting in on
the prop bets. I was shocked by their motivation of
just twelve thousand dollars a cheat a pop.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
It's a pretty quick twelve grand though.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I mean the Vikings say that the Ravens were cheating
with the cadences and the hard counts at the line
of scrimmage. We've got now tennis and surfing and darts.
Those sports are no longer pure as well.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
We'll get into all of that.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Washington Post had a great article about all the corruption
in these esoteric sports that you can bet on. I've
done it. I've bet on darts and it was overseas darts.
That's when I stopped betting. That's supposed to domestic.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
More than one hundred and fifty five million people in
the United States are under weather alerts today. Here it's
going to be it's going to feel like mid September,
you know, August.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Here.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
It's gonna be ninety plus degrees in the valley today,
but in parts of North Dakota, Minnesota, Wyoming, West Virginia
they could reach fifteen degrees today. Hauntsville, Alabama, is expected
to break a record forty three The forecast low for
Miami overnight tonight is forty nine degrees that's almost an
(06:56):
all time low for the city of Miami. It is
unseasonably warm here and will be for today this afternoon
and cool off a bit, and then by Thursday, we
expect to see probably close to an inch of rain
on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Before we get to the Democrats eating each other alive,
as they are known to do. How about your chance
at one thousand dollars?
Speaker 7 (07:19):
Now your chance to win one thousand dollars Just enter
this nationwide keyword on our website bank. That's bank, BA
NK Enter it now at KFIAM six forty dot com,
slash cash Howard by Sweet James Accident Attorneys. If you're
hurting an accident, winning is everything, call the winning attorneys
at Sweet James one eight hundred nine million that's one
eight hundred nine million or sweet James dot com.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Again, bank is the keyword, and in the ten o'clock hour,
we'll also give you a chance to win one thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Well, you mentioned Democrats not happy with Chuck Schumer. Livid
is how I heard it described a handful of them
voting to advance the House Pass stop gap and the shutdown.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
The Democrats just.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Don't have it in them to go the distance when
it comes to digging their heels in for whatever reason.
Democrats will argue that it's because they actually care about
poor people and the people that'd be hurt most by
the shutdown. Senator Chris Murphy out of Connecticut called it
a mistake.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Bernie Sanders called it a very bad night.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And Chuck Schumer has been tagged ineffective Democrats calling for
his removal.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Rocana, Yeah, Rocanna, the congressman out of up in the
Silicon Valley from here in California.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
He wants them to replace.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Chuck Schumer argued that if he can't keep his caucus
unified against a government funding bill that doesn't extain If.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
You can't keep your caucus unified, what are you doing?
Speaker 4 (08:46):
What are you doing? Then he shouldn't be leading the
Senate Democrats.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
The deal itself in the Senate could be wrapped up
by today.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
They could kind of finish this.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Last night's vote was technically just a procedural one, but
it does move things along. Then we've got to get
the House back in order. Mike Johnson, the Speaker, at
a news conference this morning, suggested members of Congress head
back to DC so that they could get this done
as quickly as possible. James Blair is the Deputy White
House Chief of Staff and explain the timeline.
Speaker 8 (09:18):
Yeah, I think Wednesday evening or Thursday morning is probably
the earliest this could happen. There's some procedural moves in
the Senate that have to be overcome, but hopefully, you know,
by middle of the week we can get everything reopened
and back on track. This has been a whole lot
of wasted time by the Democrats for really no reason.
We're just setting back the clock essentially to September thirtieth.
(09:39):
This never should have happened.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
That's going to be the most frustrating thing if, in fact,
this does nothing but put it back to September thirty
If there's no movement, there's no there's no actual, you know,
thing that happens in the next couple of days. People
lost their snap benefits for this. People's lives have been
upended by the FAA shortages because of this. It's one
(10:03):
of those frustrating aspects of living in the kind of
political world that we live in as of right now.
Democrats did not get what they wanted during the shutdown.
They wanted to get an extension of the healthcare subsidies
that many of the twenty four million people who buy
(10:24):
insurance through the ACA would rely on to help defray
some of the costs in set instead, as you heard
Gene Shaheen say again the Senator from New Hampshire, this
does guarantee a vote on that issue in December, which
was not enough for some of the people to vote
for it. They rejected the deal, they voted against it.
But again those eight that did vote in favor of
(10:44):
this said that they do trust Republicans to allow for
that vote coming up.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Next month at some point.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
And then of course you got to go through the House,
it's got to go back to the President's desk, etc.
So we are a couple of days away from a
officially making this thing go by the wayside. But in
the meantime, air travel has been absolutely kicked in the
groin out. Not only do you have people who are
(11:15):
you know, what would would normally be a forty five
minute delay turns into a thirty hour delay.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
You've got pilots.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Now coming on and explaining over the PA to their
airplane passengers, Hey, I'm sorry, it's not my fault, it's
not the air traffic controller's fault. It's your senator's fault.
You need to call them and get this thing fixed.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
This may trickle into Thanksgiving. We'll tell you what we
know about when air traffic controllers and the whole system
will get running smoothly again, or if it will in
time for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Well, it's going to be warm today called other parts
of the country. The Supreme Court had some stuff going
on today. Supreme Court today rejected a call that would
to overturn its landmark decision that legalized same sex marriage nationwide.
The justices turned away an appeal from Kim Davis. If
you remember that name, she's this former Kentucky court clerk
(12:19):
who refused to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples
after the twenty fifteen Oberkfell versus Hodges ruling. She had
been trying to get the court to overturn a lower
court order that ordered her to pay three hundred and
sixty thousand dollars in damages and attorney's fees to a
couple that was denied a marriage license.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Also a strange.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Story up in the mountains. Three dozen people hurt on
this bus running strings right yeah, San Bernardino Mountains last
night prompted firefighters to clare a mass casualty incident state
route State Route three thirty in running springs right near
mile marker thirty eight. Witness apparently was following said that
the bus was full of kids from a church event
(13:05):
who were on their way back to Santa Anna when
that crash happened last night.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
So flight cancelations piling up again today as air traffic
controller shortages worse than by the shutdown have really made
things a mess coast to coast. The President has threatened
as well to dock air traffic controllers pay if they
did not show up to work on Monday.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Today. It looks like as of.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
This article that was written an hour and a half
ago on CNBC, about fourteen hundred scheduled flights were canceled.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I got more, okay, two thousand and sixty three okay, canceled.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
So that's like six percent or something like that. I
want to say, maybe more. Last week, it was the
administration that ordered airlines to cut flights at forty major
US airports, starting with four percent reductions. Last Friday, ramping
up by ten percent this coming Friday, the fourteenth.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
There was talk about was this political.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Did the administration shut down these flights because they want
people to feel it, they want Democrats to feel it,
they want them to capitulate as we saw over the weekend,
Or was this, as Sean Deffi said the Transportation Secretary,
an effort to just make things safe because they were
so short staffed. Trump took to truth social and said
all air traffic controllers must get back to work now.
(14:30):
He said he would recommend ten thousand dollars bonuses for
any air traffic controllers who did not take any time
off during the shutdown, and he said those who don't
immediately return to work would be docked. The Union has
not responded today.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
I don't know if you do.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
United Airlines and Delta air Lines each offering flight attendants.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Extra pay to pick up flights.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Extra pay is common during storms or other disruptions. The
UH the sign of how severe air traveled have Excuse me,
this is my first day with English. Welcome a sign
of how severe air travel disruptions have become during the shutdown.
(15:15):
That was yesterday was the fourth worst day since January
of last year.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, it's There was a CNN in an interview with
a woman in Chicago this morning. She had flown from Burbank,
I think Burbank to San Francisco, San Francisco to Chicago
and then eventually was going to connect to New York
for some business thing.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
That's a lot of stops to get all the way
to New York.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
But the what started as a thirty minute delay on
the original flight out of Burbank now is thirty hours
behind schedule.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Yeah, okay, well I'm sorry, what was the route Burbank
tour right to.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
San Francisco, Sancisco, San Francisco, Chicago, Chicago, New York.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
That's asking for delay, that you're going to be delayed
on the best day of air traffic control.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
That's a fool's Errand.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
I'm not quite sure if she got it for seventeen
dollars exactly what.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
I hope you saw that.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
But oh, and then there was a pilot who got
onto one of the airplanes. They're stuck basically waiting to
get clearance to take off. But because all of the
weather delays that we're now seeing over the last day
or so, all of the FAA imposed restrictions on air travel.
This was him explaining to his passengers, Hey, it ain't
(16:34):
my fault.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I just take a thirty airplanes with one engine running.
It's going to take at least ninety minutes to take off.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
So it's frustrating.
Speaker 8 (16:45):
It's really frustrating for me because right now it's going
to cost about two hours of our lives on the
ground before we even take.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Off, spend all that gas, all that money.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
And it just rolls.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Into the rest of the system. So right now we're
at a course.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
That reduction and flight capacity.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Next week we go to.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
P Yeah, they're talking about if they can't get this
thing figured out, something ironed out that by Friday, what
we've seen as four percent reduction in air traffic would
go up to ten percent. So again there is movement.
It looks as though the Senate has decided that they
will pass a bill to stop the government shutdown. It's
(17:26):
got to go back to the House, got to be
signed by the President. We are at least a couple
of days away from that being taken care of. But again,
the flight cancelations as of today two thousand and sixty three, Wow.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
We're going to get rain this week on Thursday. We
should you know what we should rain? You know what
we should do.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
We should get Henry to Carlo on because if Rain
is headed here, we're gonna need the voice of comfort
and reason and precipitation.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
You know, I'm gonna tell him.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
What was it? That was pretty good? Right?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Wisdom, comfort and precipitation. There was something else said?
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Did you not hear yourself say I.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Don't listen when I speak?
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Come on?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Should try that? You don't listen when I speak? Either?
What I have?
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Adult theater review Richie thought I was quite literally talking
about adult theater and put in this story about Hollywood's
little known porn star Walk of Fame. That is not
the adult theater I'm referring to when I put it
in the show Rundown. This one involves Jesus.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Copy, Gari and Shannon will return.
Speaker 7 (18:45):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
A six.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Ooh, we have a wellness segment coming up today.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Yes, got to take care of yourself.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Oh, You've got to take care of yourself because I've
got big plans for you.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
What does that mean for your career? Oh? For my
career yes, okay.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
So this weekend happened to be the opening weekend of
Gary's theater production of It happened on Fifth Avenue.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
And this is which year is? This is this?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
How many years have you been doing a theater production
with this group?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
The first one was five years ago?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Five years ago, so you know you you did a
great job. This is a show about you want to
talk about the premise of it if you don't know it.
It's a movie from nineteen forty seven. I cannot believe
it has not been adapted for stage before because it
worked perfectly.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Yeah on stage.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah, they did a great job. It's a guy named
Alo wishes. You could say he's homeless, you could say
he's a bum, hobo, whatever term they used back then.
And in the winter in New York it's cold, so
he breaks into people's homes and lives there while they're away.
And in this case, he actually invites a veteran who's
(20:08):
kind of down on his luck to come stay in
the house with him. It ends up that not only
do the owners of the house actually end up there
as well, there's others.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
There's another group of people.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
There's nine people in total that are that are living
there kind of at the behest of his graciousness, even
though he is also not supposed to be there.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
In the first place.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
And now I had so many questions for you. So
you you did great. I do think that you. I
said to my husband in the way home, I like
Gary in this role. I like I loved you in
the role because it's not too old for you, Like
you have a baby face about you, like you're always
going to look younger. So sometimes when you are in
(20:51):
roles that are, you know, the father, the patriarch or whatever,
it doesn't always ring as true to me. This was
like a perfect for you. You acted it, so, I mean,
I can't imagine. Did you My first question was did
you watch the movie at all? No, you never watched it.
I never watched the movie.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
They did a radio play of it, like they used
to do back in the days. They have a big
movie that would come out and then someone would pare
it down and reduce it, not reduce it, rewrite it
as a radio play.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
So I'd heard that, but I've never seen the movie.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Have you talked to people who've seen the movie?
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Sure? I think everybody else in the cast has seen
the movie.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Now, what did they say about your performance as opposed
to the actor who played it in the movie.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Well, the guy who played it in the movie was
kind of a tubby, round headed, dirty I mean that, yeah,
kind of. It was kind of a different version of
the same character because.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Your version was perfection and you made that character like.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Just leap off the pages.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
I thought, Like I thought, having never read the play
or the screenplay or whatever, the seen the movie or anything,
I just could tell that you really did make that
character sparkle like it was so good. Your your facial
expressions and your physicality.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I don't know anything.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I don't know about theater, I don't even know the
language to use, but when you weren't speaking, was was
just wonderful like you, and it was so not you.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
You know.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
That was another thing.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
It wasn't just Gary Hoffman playing this role like you
made it your own, but it was clearly this character
that you, that you.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Designed, and it was so good.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
It was and it was so perfect, and it was
so funny when you weren't trying to be funny, and
there was there's parts that you delivered where like I
wouldn't have laughed if it was anybody else, like the
way that you that you were able to use the
words to the advantage in the role, and that your
timing was impact. Like that's stuff that nobody can do.
(23:03):
Like that's the X factor I would assume for being
an actor. And it was wonderful, it was so good,
and uh, I just I just can't, like, how do
you come up with all that stuff, like the nonverbal
things that you do.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
That I don't know, I don't know. I mean, there's
there you talk with. We have a director and assistant
director that helped obviously with all of that stuff, and
you have to figure out, well, uh, what's the background
of this guy?
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Where'd he come from?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
That's the other thing.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
It made me want more, Like I wanted to know
more about that character. Why is he living this grifter
lifestyle on the DL? Like what about him gives him
such a good heart? What has he gone?
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Like?
Speaker 1 (23:53):
It made you and I don't know if that's the
mark of a great character. Probably when you think about
movies you've seen, because I'm not a big theater person,
so movies I've been seen where I'm like, I want
to know more.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
About this character.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Is that that I think is the mark of a
really well acted role.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Is I want to know more about that guy.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Which is funny because my role in that and there's
a couple others in there. But I don't change through
the whole thing. I mean, I'm just the same person
that I am from the moment you see me out
that window till the very end, right, I'm the same
person the whole time. It's the other people, you know,
It's it's Mike and Mary and Jim and Trudy.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
They're the ones who change.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Yeah, They're the ones who have the arc that goes
from you know, they come in hot and they end
up cool, or they end up they start cool and
they end up hot or whatever.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
And part of that is the characters just unflappable nature,
which you do have in your real life. But what
made him that way? What made him so unflappable and
just roll with the punches and handle anything and everything
that comes up? You know, those are all interesting.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Well, give you secrets. I don't want to, but there
are secrets about him.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Then do you wear boxers with bunnies with rainbow lasers
out of your eyes?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
I didn't underneath any before before the first weekend.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
We do have another weekend, so I may they may
be delivered.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Before I can't. I cannot promote this more if you
haven't seen it, if you didn't get there this weekend,
I mean it was pretty packed on that matinee.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Was it packed like that?
Speaker 4 (25:25):
That was the biggest crowd we had for Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
A great It was a great crowd.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
And I can't recommend it more because it's it's fun
for everybody. You can take anybody to this. My mother
congratulates you. She heard how well you s She's not
but next year she will. Next year she's still recuperating.
We don't want to throw on a plane right away,
you know. We don't want her to bleed out for
(25:49):
the stage.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
If you follow us on Instagram at Gary and Shannon,
there is a one of the posts up there actually
has a link to tickets. The Lincoln if for tickets
is in the bio specifically, but it's got the information
about shows coming up Friday, Saturday and Sunday as well.
So I had, uh, my wife saw it on Friday night,
(26:10):
she saw it again on Saturday. She actually saw it
again last night because I had a cousin come into
town last night and then next weekend. We have a
bunch of other people that are coming through too.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
So okay, it's nice to have somebody.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
There were people, There were people that came to the
show from far away. Jamie came in from Pomona, but
I'm pretty sure that was Saturday and he drove that.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
That's a two and a half hour drive on a Saturday.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
I met go watched the show.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Member from the gas family, Mark and Katie and Kathy.
They were all very nice people as well. It's a
cool venue. It's nice, very intimate, but not too intimate.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
And that's set. How you like?
Speaker 2 (26:50):
This set was gorgeous. It was perfect.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
It was a lot of fun to me.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
It was functional and just, but but perfect for what
it should be in terms of whoever did all the
even the color of the drapes that was big in
nineteen forty six, all of that.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
Was just perfect.
Speaker 4 (27:09):
Glad you went, Yeah, me too. It was wonderful. Good job.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
I can't wait till next year.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
I don't know what next year is.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Well, you better top this year's.
Speaker 4 (27:20):
Are you gonna go? Amy?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
You didn't tell me the weekends? Oh Amy, you missed
you know, we'll do it when we come back.
Speaker 4 (27:29):
You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
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. I was just telling the girls,
Michelle and and we were talking about Sunday Night Football,
and I was saying, it reminds me of watching a
band that I really liked that was really good, Like
(00:24):
growing up with the band Deaf Leopard comes to mind.
I saw them in recent years at the Forum Love
Deaf Leopard. You know Hysteria nineteen eighty nine, Yes, all
of it.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Guns n' Roses, same kind of vibe.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Axel grew up watching Axel Rose Slash, and then you
see them in present day and you feel kind of sad.
And that's kind of how I still That's kind of
how I felt about Aaron Rodgers last night.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
You just feel kind of sad because.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I'm sitting there. I'm watching this game somewhere in the
first quarter, the light and Sunday Night Football, and Aaron
Rodgers has the ball and he's dropping back and I'm
right there. I'm like, this is so cool, this is
so freaking cool. Aaron Rodgers Sunday Night Football, and then
he just looks crippled, you know, and you're just like, oh,
man like and it's not all his fault, but it's
(01:18):
just the way he plays too, where he just looks
petulant all the time. He's got to get it out
quick and if he doesn't, nothing happens. And nothing happened
for the Steelers the entire night. It was just kind
of as much as I enjoyed it being a Chargers fan,
with not stressing out the entire game at all.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
And historically bad performance for him. They were saying, well,
it was late touchdown. It would have been arguably his
worst performance of his career.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
It was, and I think that's why he came back
in the game in the fourth quarter when nothing mattered,
for those gar for those garbage runs, just to just
to rise that stat line.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
But man, that was uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Hot, was it? Well, I guess his nighttime It wasn't. No,
it was per it was sixty five degrees, it was
a warm night. It's gonna be ninety degrees today.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
This is crazy. And then rain on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Now, that was not my favorite, uh my favorite event
of the weekend. My favorite event of the weekend was
seeing your Theater show, which by the way, and I
think I do this every year, is in the ramp
up to your theater show that's usually around this time
of year.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I make light of it. I call it adult theater.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Haha, wink wink, la la la, And you know, are
you going to be on Broadway and all the things.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
And I do all the jokes because I have to.
I mean, it's just it just it just goes with
the territory.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
I know what I'm in for.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
But you do.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Such a wonderful job. And I will get into my
full review coming up later, but the whole production truly
belongs outside of that. Well, it's a very large church,
but it's a small venue inside a large property. It's
so well done and it's so well acted. Anyway, we'll
get into that. First of all, the government it's back
(03:07):
up and running.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Well, we hope.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
So last night they came up with the deal, thank you,
by the way, they came up with a deal to
end the government shut down. A group of moderate Democrats.
Eight of them agreed to proceed without the guaranteed extension
of healthcare subsidies. Some of the other Democrats were really
angry that there was no concrete deal, but Jeene Shaheen,
(03:29):
for example, one of those senators, those Democratic senators who
voted to continue this from New Hampshire, said they do
have a concrete plan.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
We have a guaranteed vote by a guaranteed day on
a bill that we will write, not that the Republicans
will write, although I do think it's important for us thing.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
It's important for us thing gets to.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Engage with them because we need a bipartisan bill that
we know is going to get a Nact that to
provide the relief that Americans need. And I think there's
a commitment on the part of many of our college
than to do that.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Here's an interesting aspect of this, and I'm not sure
if it plays into it. She Derek Gene Shaheen, Maggie Hassan,
and Angus King, three of the group of eight that
voted in favor, are all former governors. I don't know
if that means that they have a different perspective on this.
They have a different perspective on the shutdown itself, but
it is interesting in my mind.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Now.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has said Republicans are going
to sit with this if they don't come through with
that planned vote on healthcare subsidies.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
I make no mistake about it. The American people know
who is inflicting this healthcare trauma on them, Donald Trump
and the Republicans. Americans will remember a Republican in transigence
every time they make a sky high payment on health insurance.
So we are going to fight legislatively, fight back home,
(04:52):
fight in the courts, and bring this fight in the elections.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
That guy's days may be numbered as the Senate Minority leader.
Others are absolutely roasting him. He voted against it, but
they're roasting him for allowing this to even get to
where it is.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
The consequences of the shutdown are compounding, as they do
when you have backup in the air traffic control system.
Airlines canceling more than two thousand flights yesterday for the
first time since the shutdown began. When the domino effect
will end, we'll get into that is well when we return.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Also your chance at one thousand dollars.
Speaker 7 (05:30):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
There is cheating all over the place.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Now we've got MLB pictures that are getting in on
the prop bets. I was shocked by their motivation of
just twelve thousand dollars a cheat a pop.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
It's a pretty quick twelve grand though.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I mean the Vikings say that the Ravens were cheating
with the cadences and the hard counts at the line
of scrimmage. We've got now tennis and surfing and darts.
Those sports are no longer pure as well.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
We'll get into all of that.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Washington Post had a great article about all the corruption
in these esoteric sports that you can bet on. I've
done it. I've bet on darts and it was overseas darts.
That's when I stopped betting. That's supposed to domestic.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
More than one hundred and fifty five million people in
the United States are under weather alerts today. Here it's
going to be it's going to feel like mid September,
you know, August.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Here.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
It's gonna be ninety plus degrees in the valley today,
but in parts of North Dakota, Minnesota, Wyoming, West Virginia
they could reach fifteen degrees today. Hauntsville, Alabama, is expected
to break a record forty three The forecast low for
Miami overnight tonight is forty nine degrees that's almost an
(06:56):
all time low for the city of Miami. It is
unseasonably warm here and will be for today this afternoon
and cool off a bit, and then by Thursday, we
expect to see probably close to an inch of rain
on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Before we get to the Democrats eating each other alive,
as they are known to do. How about your chance
at one thousand dollars?
Speaker 7 (07:19):
Now your chance to win one thousand dollars Just enter
this nationwide keyword on our website bank. That's bank, BA
NK Enter it now at KFIAM six forty dot com,
slash cash Howard by Sweet James Accident Attorneys. If you're
hurting an accident, winning is everything, call the winning attorneys
at Sweet James one eight hundred nine million that's one
eight hundred nine million or sweet James dot com.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Again, bank is the keyword, and in the ten o'clock hour,
we'll also give you a chance to win one thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Well, you mentioned Democrats not happy with Chuck Schumer. Livid
is how I heard it described a handful of them
voting to advance the House Pass stop gap and the shutdown.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
The Democrats just.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Don't have it in them to go the distance when
it comes to digging their heels in for whatever reason.
Democrats will argue that it's because they actually care about
poor people and the people that'd be hurt most by
the shutdown. Senator Chris Murphy out of Connecticut called it
a mistake.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Bernie Sanders called it a very bad night.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And Chuck Schumer has been tagged ineffective Democrats calling for
his removal.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Rocana, Yeah, Rocanna, the congressman out of up in the
Silicon Valley from here in California.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
He wants them to replace.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Chuck Schumer argued that if he can't keep his caucus
unified against a government funding bill that doesn't extain If.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
You can't keep your caucus unified, what are you doing?
Speaker 4 (08:46):
What are you doing? Then he shouldn't be leading the
Senate Democrats.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
The deal itself in the Senate could be wrapped up
by today.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
They could kind of finish this.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Last night's vote was technically just a procedural one, but
it does move things along. Then we've got to get
the House back in order. Mike Johnson, the Speaker, at
a news conference this morning, suggested members of Congress head
back to DC so that they could get this done
as quickly as possible. James Blair is the Deputy White
House Chief of Staff and explain the timeline.
Speaker 8 (09:18):
Yeah, I think Wednesday evening or Thursday morning is probably
the earliest this could happen. There's some procedural moves in
the Senate that have to be overcome, but hopefully, you know,
by middle of the week we can get everything reopened
and back on track. This has been a whole lot
of wasted time by the Democrats for really no reason.
We're just setting back the clock essentially to September thirtieth.
(09:39):
This never should have happened.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
That's going to be the most frustrating thing if, in fact,
this does nothing but put it back to September thirty
If there's no movement, there's no there's no actual, you know,
thing that happens in the next couple of days. People
lost their snap benefits for this. People's lives have been
upended by the FAA shortages because of this. It's one
(10:03):
of those frustrating aspects of living in the kind of
political world that we live in as of right now.
Democrats did not get what they wanted during the shutdown.
They wanted to get an extension of the healthcare subsidies
that many of the twenty four million people who buy
(10:24):
insurance through the ACA would rely on to help defray
some of the costs in set instead, as you heard
Gene Shaheen say again the Senator from New Hampshire, this
does guarantee a vote on that issue in December, which
was not enough for some of the people to vote
for it. They rejected the deal, they voted against it.
But again those eight that did vote in favor of
(10:44):
this said that they do trust Republicans to allow for
that vote coming up.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Next month at some point.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
And then of course you got to go through the House,
it's got to go back to the President's desk, etc.
So we are a couple of days away from a
officially making this thing go by the wayside. But in
the meantime, air travel has been absolutely kicked in the
groin out. Not only do you have people who are
(11:15):
you know, what would would normally be a forty five
minute delay turns into a thirty hour delay.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
You've got pilots.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Now coming on and explaining over the PA to their
airplane passengers, Hey, I'm sorry, it's not my fault, it's
not the air traffic controller's fault. It's your senator's fault.
You need to call them and get this thing fixed.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
This may trickle into Thanksgiving. We'll tell you what we
know about when air traffic controllers and the whole system
will get running smoothly again, or if it will in
time for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Well, it's going to be warm today called other parts
of the country. The Supreme Court had some stuff going
on today. Supreme Court today rejected a call that would
to overturn its landmark decision that legalized same sex marriage nationwide.
The justices turned away an appeal from Kim Davis. If
you remember that name, she's this former Kentucky court clerk
(12:19):
who refused to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples
after the twenty fifteen Oberkfell versus Hodges ruling. She had
been trying to get the court to overturn a lower
court order that ordered her to pay three hundred and
sixty thousand dollars in damages and attorney's fees to a
couple that was denied a marriage license.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Also a strange.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Story up in the mountains. Three dozen people hurt on
this bus running strings right yeah, San Bernardino Mountains last
night prompted firefighters to clare a mass casualty incident state
route State Route three thirty in running springs right near
mile marker thirty eight. Witness apparently was following said that
the bus was full of kids from a church event
(13:05):
who were on their way back to Santa Anna when
that crash happened last night.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
So flight cancelations piling up again today as air traffic
controller shortages worse than by the shutdown have really made
things a mess coast to coast. The President has threatened
as well to dock air traffic controllers pay if they
did not show up to work on Monday.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Today. It looks like as of.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
This article that was written an hour and a half
ago on CNBC, about fourteen hundred scheduled flights were canceled.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I got more, okay, two thousand and sixty three okay, canceled.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
So that's like six percent or something like that. I
want to say, maybe more. Last week, it was the
administration that ordered airlines to cut flights at forty major
US airports, starting with four percent reductions. Last Friday, ramping
up by ten percent this coming Friday, the fourteenth.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
There was talk about was this political.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Did the administration shut down these flights because they want
people to feel it, they want Democrats to feel it,
they want them to capitulate as we saw over the weekend,
Or was this, as Sean Deffi said the Transportation Secretary,
an effort to just make things safe because they were
so short staffed. Trump took to truth social and said
all air traffic controllers must get back to work now.
(14:30):
He said he would recommend ten thousand dollars bonuses for
any air traffic controllers who did not take any time
off during the shutdown, and he said those who don't
immediately return to work would be docked. The Union has
not responded today.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
I don't know if you do.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
United Airlines and Delta air Lines each offering flight attendants.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Extra pay to pick up flights.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Extra pay is common during storms or other disruptions. The
UH the sign of how severe air traveled have Excuse me,
this is my first day with English. Welcome a sign
of how severe air travel disruptions have become during the shutdown.
(15:15):
That was yesterday was the fourth worst day since January
of last year.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, it's There was a CNN in an interview with
a woman in Chicago this morning. She had flown from Burbank,
I think Burbank to San Francisco, San Francisco to Chicago
and then eventually was going to connect to New York
for some business thing.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
That's a lot of stops to get all the way
to New York.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
But the what started as a thirty minute delay on
the original flight out of Burbank now is thirty hours
behind schedule.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Yeah, okay, well I'm sorry, what was the route Burbank
tour right to.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
San Francisco, Sancisco, San Francisco, Chicago, Chicago, New York.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
That's asking for delay, that you're going to be delayed
on the best day of air traffic control.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
That's a fool's Errand.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
I'm not quite sure if she got it for seventeen
dollars exactly what.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
I hope you saw that.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
But oh, and then there was a pilot who got
onto one of the airplanes. They're stuck basically waiting to
get clearance to take off. But because all of the
weather delays that we're now seeing over the last day
or so, all of the FAA imposed restrictions on air travel.
This was him explaining to his passengers, Hey, it ain't
(16:34):
my fault.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I just take a thirty airplanes with one engine running.
It's going to take at least ninety minutes to take off.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
So it's frustrating.
Speaker 8 (16:45):
It's really frustrating for me because right now it's going
to cost about two hours of our lives on the
ground before we even take.
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Off, spend all that gas, all that money.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
And it just rolls.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Into the rest of the system. So right now we're
at a course.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
That reduction and flight capacity.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Next week we go to.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
P Yeah, they're talking about if they can't get this
thing figured out, something ironed out that by Friday, what
we've seen as four percent reduction in air traffic would
go up to ten percent. So again there is movement.
It looks as though the Senate has decided that they
will pass a bill to stop the government shutdown. It's
(17:26):
got to go back to the House, got to be
signed by the President. We are at least a couple
of days away from that being taken care of. But again,
the flight cancelations as of today two thousand and sixty three, Wow.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
We're going to get rain this week on Thursday. We
should you know what we should rain? You know what
we should do.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
We should get Henry to Carlo on because if Rain
is headed here, we're gonna need the voice of comfort
and reason and precipitation.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
You know, I'm gonna tell him.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
What was it? That was pretty good? Right?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Wisdom, comfort and precipitation. There was something else said?
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Did you not hear yourself say I.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Don't listen when I speak?
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Come on?
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Should try that? You don't listen when I speak? Either?
What I have?
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Adult theater review Richie thought I was quite literally talking
about adult theater and put in this story about Hollywood's
little known porn star Walk of Fame. That is not
the adult theater I'm referring to when I put it
in the show Rundown. This one involves Jesus.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Copy, Gari and Shannon will return.
Speaker 7 (18:45):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
A six.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Ooh, we have a wellness segment coming up today.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Yes, got to take care of yourself.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Oh, You've got to take care of yourself because I've
got big plans for you.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
What does that mean for your career? Oh? For my
career yes, okay.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
So this weekend happened to be the opening weekend of
Gary's theater production of It happened on Fifth Avenue.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
And this is which year is? This is this?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
How many years have you been doing a theater production
with this group?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
The first one was five years ago?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Five years ago, so you know you you did a
great job. This is a show about you want to
talk about the premise of it if you don't know it.
It's a movie from nineteen forty seven. I cannot believe
it has not been adapted for stage before because it
worked perfectly.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Yeah on stage.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Yeah, they did a great job. It's a guy named
Alo wishes. You could say he's homeless, you could say
he's a bum, hobo, whatever term they used back then.
And in the winter in New York it's cold, so
he breaks into people's homes and lives there while they're away.
And in this case, he actually invites a veteran who's
(20:08):
kind of down on his luck to come stay in
the house with him. It ends up that not only
do the owners of the house actually end up there
as well, there's others.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
There's another group of people.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
There's nine people in total that are that are living
there kind of at the behest of his graciousness, even
though he is also not supposed to be there.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
In the first place.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
And now I had so many questions for you. So
you you did great. I do think that you. I
said to my husband in the way home, I like
Gary in this role. I like I loved you in
the role because it's not too old for you, Like
you have a baby face about you, like you're always
going to look younger. So sometimes when you are in
(20:51):
roles that are, you know, the father, the patriarch or whatever,
it doesn't always ring as true to me. This was
like a perfect for you. You acted it, so, I mean,
I can't imagine. Did you My first question was did
you watch the movie at all? No, you never watched it.
I never watched the movie.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
They did a radio play of it, like they used
to do back in the days. They have a big
movie that would come out and then someone would pare
it down and reduce it, not reduce it, rewrite it
as a radio play.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
So I'd heard that, but I've never seen the movie.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Have you talked to people who've seen the movie?
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Sure? I think everybody else in the cast has seen
the movie.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Now, what did they say about your performance as opposed
to the actor who played it in the movie.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
Well, the guy who played it in the movie was
kind of a tubby, round headed, dirty I mean that, yeah,
kind of. It was kind of a different version of
the same character because.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Your version was perfection and you made that character like.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Just leap off the pages.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
I thought, Like I thought, having never read the play
or the screenplay or whatever, the seen the movie or anything,
I just could tell that you really did make that
character sparkle like it was so good. Your your facial
expressions and your physicality.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I don't know anything.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I don't know about theater, I don't even know the
language to use, but when you weren't speaking, was was
just wonderful like you, and it was so not you.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
You know.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
That was another thing.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
It wasn't just Gary Hoffman playing this role like you
made it your own, but it was clearly this character
that you, that you.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Designed, and it was so good.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
It was and it was so perfect, and it was
so funny when you weren't trying to be funny, and
there was there's parts that you delivered where like I
wouldn't have laughed if it was anybody else, like the
way that you that you were able to use the
words to the advantage in the role, and that your
timing was impact. Like that's stuff that nobody can do.
(23:03):
Like that's the X factor I would assume for being
an actor. And it was wonderful, it was so good,
and uh, I just I just can't, like, how do
you come up with all that stuff, like the nonverbal
things that you do.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
That I don't know, I don't know. I mean, there's
there you talk with. We have a director and assistant
director that helped obviously with all of that stuff, and
you have to figure out, well, uh, what's the background
of this guy?
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Where'd he come from?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
That's the other thing.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
It made me want more, Like I wanted to know
more about that character. Why is he living this grifter
lifestyle on the DL? Like what about him gives him
such a good heart? What has he gone?
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Like?
Speaker 1 (23:53):
It made you and I don't know if that's the
mark of a great character. Probably when you think about
movies you've seen, because I'm not a big theater person,
so movies I've been seen where I'm like, I want
to know more.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
About this character.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Is that that I think is the mark of a
really well acted role.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Is I want to know more about that guy.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Which is funny because my role in that and there's
a couple others in there. But I don't change through
the whole thing. I mean, I'm just the same person
that I am from the moment you see me out
that window till the very end, right, I'm the same
person the whole time. It's the other people, you know,
It's it's Mike and Mary and Jim and Trudy.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
They're the ones who change.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Yeah, They're the ones who have the arc that goes
from you know, they come in hot and they end
up cool, or they end up they start cool and
they end up hot or whatever.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
And part of that is the characters just unflappable nature,
which you do have in your real life. But what
made him that way? What made him so unflappable and
just roll with the punches and handle anything and everything
that comes up? You know, those are all interesting.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Well, give you secrets. I don't want to, but there
are secrets about him.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Then do you wear boxers with bunnies with rainbow lasers
out of your eyes?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
I didn't underneath any before before the first weekend.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
