Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Big twelve o'clock hour. We're going to talk a little
bit more about those crazy calls that you've gotten from
your boss in the middle of the night, asking you
to do something that maybe you shouldn't have done. I
realized as we were doing this story earlier, I was
asked by my boss wants to pick his wife up
from the airport, and I did. I didn't know any better.
(00:29):
I was twenty two, twenty three years old, and I
was in it. I was a reporter for radio stations,
so I had a car available to me. It's not
like I was using my own car. But I don't
know if I would do that. I mean, I don't
think my boss is gonna ask me to pick his
wife up from the airport. Besides, it's Burbank Airport's five
minutes away. She could take she can uber. There is
(00:50):
also True Crime Tuesday coming up. Among other things, we're
going to be talking about that Murdoch story out of
South Carolina again, a new twist. All of that, and
some athletes and TV stars targeted by home burglaries because
they're away and on TV, so everybody knows when they're
not home. We'll be talking with ABC's Alex Stone about
(01:11):
that a little bit later. What else is going on?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Time for what's happening?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Well, the biggest story today is that the House of
Representatives has passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. This is
an attempt to force the Department of Justice to release
all of the Jeffrey Epstein files that have not already
been released. The passed today by a vote of two sorry,
(01:41):
four twenty seven to one.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
It now goes to the Senate.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
The bill would compel the Department of Justice to reach
the to release all unclassified materials that are related to
the is several investigations of Jeffrey Epstein. Now I said
four twenty seven to one. The one no vote in
this case Clay Higgins, a congressman representing Louisiana's fighting third
Congressional district, and he was the sole no vote. In
(02:08):
a statement, he said, I've been a principal know on
this bill from the beginning. What was wrong with the
bill three months ago is still wrong today. It abandons
two hundred and fifty years of criminal justice procedure in America.
As written, the bill reveals and injures thousands of innocent people, witnesses,
people who provided alibis, family members, etc. And if enacted
(02:30):
in its current form, this type of broad reveal of
criminal investigative files will absolutely result in innocent people being hurt.
That's similar to what Speaker Mike Johnson said in a
news conference this morning that he's concerned this is going
to create a whole new list of victims. But the
idea of having your name potentially associated with a guy
(02:51):
which you can explain away, versus these women that were
victimized by him and his compatriots, it's kind of a
it's not the same game. It's not the same use
of the word victim. Goes to the Senate. The Senate
could change some of those things, by the way, and
could add in some protections for those people that Clay
(03:12):
Higgins and Mike Johnson are worried about.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
We'll see where it goes from there.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
A federal court in Texas has blocked the redrawn congressional
map from going into effect before next year's midterms. A
panel of judges said that the have to use the
previous map instead, this is about a five year old map.
By ruling signed by Judge Jeffrey Brown is likely to
(03:37):
be appealed. By the way Brown was a nominee of
President Trump, this will likely the appeal likely goes directly
to the US Supreme Court. That of course tees up
a fight that could decide to control of Congress depending
on how the Supreme Court decides on a very important case.
A bunch of Internet services were down today cloud Flare.
This infrastructure company called cloud Flare, said that a bug
(04:00):
led to problems on its network just before probably four
o'clock this morning. They had begun investigating the issue. Downdetector
dot com to track service outages, noted that things like Twitter, Spotify, OpenAI,
Amazon web services all appeared to be slowed down but
not necessarily knocked off because of the outage, And then
(04:23):
just about six forty five seven o'clock hour time, they
said that the issue had been resolved. So you may
have slept through the whole thing. Stock market is having
a rough day today. The Dow Jones Industrial Average had
been down about five hundred and forty points when I
checked earlier. As of right now, it's down about two ninety.
(04:43):
The biggest measure of US stocks is the S and
P five hundred. It is also down, but percentage wise
not quite as a big There was a problem with AI.
There's been a lot of talk, a lot of rumblings
in the background about an AI bubble that may becoming coming,
that maybe they're overvalued, that they've been spending way too
(05:04):
much money and borrowing way too much money to put
up data centers with no real payoff on it just yet.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
So at this point it's the fear.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
As we know, a lot of the stock market is
driven by emotion and the fear of an AI bubble.
So the Dow is down three to h six as
of right now. Going on in Ontario today funeral services
for San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputy who was shot last month.
The suspect then led authorities on that high speed motorcycle
chase that ended when an off duty police officer in
(05:37):
a car bumped into the guy and flipped him off
of his bike. Deputy Andrew Nunez is being honored today
at the Toyota Arena in Ontario. The funeral is not
actually open to the public, but the procession this morning.
The people were encouraged to line the streets to pay
their respects. There is a new lawsuit. Eleven months after
(06:00):
the Eton fire roared through Altadena, the sister of one
of the nineteen people killed in that file has filed
a lawsuit. Lawyers for the group LA Fire Justice Jerry
Darden is suing so Cal Edison, the Edison International, their
parent company, and the technology company Genesis, which has contracted
(06:21):
with La County to send out evacuation notices to her
residence and an event of a fire. That lawsuit says
that Genesis warned people east of Lake Avenue, but not
those west of Lake Avenue, or at least they didn't
warn him in time, that it was too late. That
one of the attorneys said, everybody else that died, including
(06:43):
Jerry's sister, is on the left side, the west side
of Lake Avenue. As we put on our common sense hat,
that is an impossibility unless something was done wrong, made
the accusation in a city whose population is more than
fifty percent non white. And what he said was this
(07:04):
attorney was, at its core, this is really a case
of digital redlining.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Jerry's sister, Stacey, grew up in Altadena.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
She had been in contact with Jerry throughout the evening
of January seventh. She'd been following the news reports. She
believed she was safe since she hadn't actually received an
evacuation notice. She stayed in her home. Her sister assumed
that she had gotten out on foot on the next day,
but she never turned up and her body was discovered
a week later. She wasn't actually identified until April of
(07:35):
this year. So when we come back that story about
the crazy calls that your boss has made to you
off hours? How often does that happen? Do you ever
get calls like that? Should you be reachable after hours?
Obviously it's going to depend on your job. But what's
the craziest thing that's happened to you? Leave us a
talkback message on the iHeart app. Hit that little button
(07:57):
sends us a quick message and tell us what the
crazy thing is that your boss asked you to do.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Well, do that we come back.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
The Epstein Transparency Act. This is a plan to get
the Justice Department to reveal all of what is in
the Jeffrey Epstein files overwhelmingly voted in favor of this.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Four twenty seven to one was the vote.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
There was one congressman out of Louisiana who said he
was concerned that this doesn't do enough to protect people
whose names will be in there that will be associated
with this case, who had nothing to do with the
criminality of it. President Trump announced that he dismissed the
intelligence findings that Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia
(08:45):
likely had at very least some culpability in the murder
of Washington Post writer Jamal Koshogji. It's likely, according to
the intelligence, that he's the one who actually ordered the
hit in the first place. But these came today. President
Trump did welcome the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia
on his first White House visit in seven years, and
(09:09):
it lasted a couple of hours. The Crown Prince has
already left and will, I guess, not be going.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Back to the White House anytime soon.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Cloppers at Cloppers, Clippers looked like the Cloppers and lost
to the seventy six ers one ten one weight. Last night,
the Utah Jazz at Crypto taken on the Lakers tonight
Cowboys beat the Raiders thirty three sixteen on Monday Night Football.
We asked you earlier, what are the craziest things that
your boss has called you to do or the craziest
hours that they've called you to do? Other work stuff
(09:39):
stems from an article about whether or not after hours
calls should be allowed depending on where you work.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
I one time lived in a transitional living center, so
it was like a home shelter, and I was working
as a prep cook dishwasher at a very nice Italian
rust in Ventura, California. And anyways, the general manager thought
because I lived in a homeless shelter that I would
(10:08):
know all kinds of prostitutes.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
And he texted me.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
One night and asked me if I could find him
somebody for around twenty dollars.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
So, wow, think I've ever got that one?
Speaker 5 (10:19):
It's up Gary? What's up?
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Shannon? So I've been doing pass androl for about thirteen years.
So about ten years ago, my boss calls me late,
I'm off the clock, and he's frantic. They stole her.
They stole her. I'm like, who they stole his wife?
He said, somebody called said they kidnapped his wife and
won a ransom and had me out there in Long
Beach looking for his wife. I know why they didn't
(10:44):
call the cops, but I had his back.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
That was crazy work.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
It's pretty crazy work.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
Many years ago, I had a record deal with Capitol
and I was I got married the same year. Was
on my honeymoon and my producer Slash called to ask
if I would come and do an appearance on Club
MTV with my musical partner. They knew ized on my honeymoon,
(11:09):
but they asked anyway, so we made a detour off
we went to New York.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
That's show biz, Well, I guess yeah, And that's for
a good reason too.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Well.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
Back when I first started working, I had a warehouse
job and I had a day off. My mager called
me that day telling me to come in. I didn't
go at all. I didn't an answer his calls. He'll
have the voicemail tell me to come in, And a
few days later he asked me why I didn't show up.
I told him because I don't answer phone calls during
my off days. And he told me that I was
on call, which I wasn't, and we ended up having
(11:42):
a huge argument which ended up in me telling him
if he has an issue, we can go outside and fight.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
I've never been challenged to a fight by a boss.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Again, what is the craziest thing that a boss has
called you after hours to do?
Speaker 9 (11:58):
Good morning, Gary Schultz. I was at one time that
manager that made the call. I'm retired, but I worked
for a utility company and when I was on call
as a manager and an emergency would come up, I
would have to call people at home, wake them up
to go get the rigs and go take care of
it sometimes, you know, one two in the morning.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
But I was that guy. But it just went with
the territory.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Yeah, he'd being that guy.
Speaker 10 (12:22):
Hey, Gary and Shannon, I don't understand how these bosses
can expect you to answer your phone on your time
off for free. In my trade, we would get called
all hours of night weekends, but once we said a
low and realized it was our dispatch, it was a
two hour minimum. Double time started right there. Wow, Okay,
(12:45):
have a good day. Benefits of a union.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
No kidding, My union doesn't do that.
Speaker 11 (12:50):
Hey, what's up, Gary and Shannon?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
This is Devin in Vegas. Just wanted to react.
Speaker 11 (12:57):
To the boss topic work around the clock twenty four
to seven. My wife is my boss, and anytime of
the night she can want a glass of water or anything.
And I'm one duty.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I'm sure you guys understand.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Yes, this message is for Gary and Shannon. This is
Solomon from Corona. And one time my boss wanted me
on Christmas Eve. He wanted me to go in two
in the morning on Christmas Day and fire one of
our employees. I said, Man, I'm Jewish. I'm not going
in on Christmas firing anybody. You want to fire him,
(13:34):
you do it. Hey, what crazy?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
You wouldn't go in because you wouldn't go on Christmas
because you're Jewish.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Hey, Gary, it's Mike and the ie think. Yeah.
Speaker 12 (13:45):
I was getting married one time, one of the couple
of times, and my boss called me the morning of
my wedding and was screaming at me because I can
forgot to clarify something. The weird thing is this is
before cell phones. I was at my parents' house. I
don't know how he got my parents' phone number. Oh boy,
(14:07):
I'm putting a tuxs on and getting my ass shoot
at the same time.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
It's fun like a delight. All right. Well, we'll continue
to take these.
Speaker 2 (14:16):

Up next, we're going to talk about Bianca Torebiat Simpson.
You don't know her name, but you know who she's
accused of. Murder she has accused of. We'll talk about
her the housekeeper job that she had, and why she
(15:05):
knew that Alex Murdoch was a bad guy.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Also, Alex Stone's going to join us.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Why everybody all these celebrities keep getting their homes broken into.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
That's going to come up during True Crime Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
President Trump has dismissed the Intelligence agency findings that it
was the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed ben Salmon that had
some culpability and the murder of Jamalikas Shogji. But years later,
Trump has tightened his embrace of the Crown Prince of
Saudi Arabia, said he's an indispensable player in shaping the
Middle East. The Crown Prince was at the White House
(15:45):
earlier today for a meeting with the President. President Trump
announced just last night that the United States is going
to be selling f thirty.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Fives to Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
The House, meanwhile, has voted over whelmingly to pass a
bill who had forced the Justice Department to publicly release
files on Jeffrey Epstein. The vote showed the pressure that's
been mounting on different legislators and the Trump administration to
meet this demand that the Justice Department released all of
its case files. He was the guy who killed himself
in a Manhattan jail awaiting trial twenty nineteen on charges
(16:16):
that he has sexually abused and trafficked all kinds of
young girls. A panel of three federal judges has blocked
the state of Texas from using a new congressional map
that Republicans drew in hopes of picking up those five
House seats. That map, of course, touched off the redistricting
battle that came to California with Prop fifty in the
(16:37):
passage thereof. This may may have an impact on the
fight against Prop fifty as well, but it's likely that
this thing will be appealed. Texas Governor Greg Gabbott has
already said that will happen, and it would likely go
straight to the US Supreme Court in order to defend
the map.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
It's time for a True Crime Tuesday.
Speaker 12 (17:01):
The story is true true, No, it sounds made up.
Speaker 13 (17:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Gary and Shannon present True Crime.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
All right, Well, we have some first hand knowledge now
about the Alec Murdoch murders. Bianca Tarabiate Simpson had no idea,
she said, who shot and killed Maggie and Paul Murdoch
at their home in Islandton, South Carolina. When the murders
came to light back in June of twenty twenty one.
(17:33):
And it was a weird, stunning, wild case when it
first hit the headlines. She began working this is Bianca
began working for Alex Murdoch in two thousand and two.
She helped him with his Spanish speaking clients and eventually
a few years later became the family's housekeeper and had
seen him on the day of the murders when he
left for work. This is a woman who loved the
(17:56):
family that she was working for. She said that he
all always treated her well. Believed Alex when he said
early on that he thought that Paul and Maggie may
have been killed by a vigilani out for Justin's justice,
for the vengeance of a death of Malory Beach, a
little nineteen year old who died when Paul crashed his boat.
(18:18):
Over time, however, the housekeeper who was I mean, she
had a career in the Navy. She was a Navy
vet former corrections officer before she became basically an interpreter
for Alex Murdoch. But she said she noticed some details
that pointed her to the unusually amiable, fun loving boss
(18:40):
that would have made him the killer. She said on
the day after the murders, she noticed some unusual things
at that hunting lodge where they were killed. For example,
Maggie's Mercedes was in the wrong spot, parked in the
wrong spot, something Maggie never did. She said that the pajamas.
Maggie's pajamas were also laid out on the floor of
(19:03):
the laundry room.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Which Bianca thought was weird.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
She said, I knew automatically that wasn't something she would do,
so she thought someone else moved the suv staged the
pajamas to look like she had planned to sleep there
at the hunting lodge of the night of the murders,
which she wasn't planning on doing, but at that point,
at that point, she didn't know who that would be
that would have set this up.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
She said.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Things started to gel about two months after the murders.
Alex sat down and made a point of telling Bianca
that he was wearing a different shirt on the night
of the murders, and she remembers Alec Murdoch telling her quote,
you remember what I was wearing that day. You know,
(19:49):
the Vinnie Vines shirt. Vineyard Vines is apparently the brand,
And she said for her that was the gut punch,
gut punch moment that she vividly remembers him wearing another
shirt because she had straightened its collar for him before
he left for work, and she wrote, one thing was
for sure, he was lying. She at the time didn't
(20:10):
know why after he was arrested. And if you remember
the progression of this case, Alex Murdoch was arrested a
couple of months after the murders for a bunch of
financial crimes, and then almost an entire year, well a
little bit more than a year after the murders, he
was arrested for the murders of his wife and son.
(20:32):
And she said even then she still held out hope
that he was innocent because she liked the guy this
moment this much. But her aha moment about his guilt
came after his murder trial began January of twenty three.
She saw police bodycam footage from the first responding officer
at the scene, and in the video you can see
Alex Murdoch standing next to his suburban and inside the vehicle,
(20:56):
Bianca saw something that she knew, something that she saw
was familiar. It was a beach towel on the front seat,
and she said, I looked at that towel, and the towel.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Was what gave her the clue she knew he murdered
his wife and son.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Alex told police that he was sleeping in the main
house at the hunting lodge when Maggie and Paul were shot.
He said he had gone to his parents' house in
Varnville to check on Dad, who died three days after
the murder. Alex said that when he returned to the
hunting lodge, he found the bodies of his wife and
son and called nine one one, But earlier on June seventh,
earlier in the day, Bianca had washed and dried that
(21:41):
folded towel and put it on a high shelf in
the laundry room, and she says that he must have
hosed himself off near the kennels and either changed there
or back at the house, and she says, went into
the laundry room, grabbed that towel to finish drying himself
and then possibly took the freshly washed a T shirt
that was hanging there. That T shirt was the one
(22:03):
that he was wearing when he called nine to one
one and was seen talking to the officer in the
body cam footage. She said she thinks that he used
the towel to clean up after the murders and it
may have had DNA evidence on it as well, and
like the T shirt that he had on that day.
That towel vanished that night, and she said, whatever happened
to that towel.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
She's convinced now that he did it.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Obviously, he's been found guilty, so that's not a problem.
But she's out with a new book that describes all
of these different clues that she said eventually led her
to figuring that he was the one who killed his
own wife and son. And as we talked about last week,
this is the subject of that Hulu documentary that has
apparently getting some pretty great reviews. All right, up next,
(22:47):
why it is that people are getting their homes burgled
while they're away?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Oh and on TV, we'll explain.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
If we get any more information, I mean, there's not
a lot that's going to come out today, specifically about
this House vote overwhelmingly to pass the bill that forces
the Justice Department to release its files on the Jeffrey
Epstein investigation, but could get some indications about what the
Senate has in store for it. John Thune is expected
to bring it to the floor of the Senate. The
question is will they add amendments to it. There are
(23:27):
some concerns from some people that they need to put
in some protections for people whose names could be in
those files that really.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Well, there are some new additions to the list of
athletes and celebrities who have been hit by home burglars
when they are away. The thing is, these athletes and
celebrities are well, they're pretty visible when they're not at
home because you know, they're on television. ABC's Alex Stone
is joining us Live to talk more about all of this.
(23:59):
That's the reason you stay home all the time, is right?
Speaker 13 (24:02):
Is never leave?
Speaker 8 (24:03):
Right?
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 14 (24:04):
Yeah, that's one way to take care of it. Hello, Gerry,
how are you. I haven't talked to you, although we
haven't talked in forever. It's so good. I camp outside
your house waiting to see you leave, and you're not there,
and then I'm like, all right, well whatever, I'll try later.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
You're no I know.
Speaker 13 (24:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (24:20):
So this is an ongoing problem, and we've seen it
in LA and one of these cases involves LA. But
a bunch of athletes have dealt with it, celebrities as well,
that everybody knows where they are, and whether they're on
TV or they're all over social media showing their whereabouts,
it's no secret. And so first of all, Schidor Sanders
that he was making his debut for the Cleveland Browns
(24:41):
this weekend, and as he was playing and losing that game,
his home was burglarized. And today the Sheriff's department is
saying around two hundred grand worth of stuff was taken
from his home. But it seemed like at the end
of the game the Browns had just lost. He had
no idea what was going on back at his home.
He was soon to find out.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
I'm just thankful, I'm you know, I'm thankful for the opportunity,
thankful to seeing Autumn twelve jerseys out there.
Speaker 14 (25:04):
Probably not thankful when he found out that two hundred
grand worth of his stuff had been taken. But he
joins the ranks of Travis Kelsey and Patrick Mahomes and
Joe Burrow now who while they've been playing that their
homes have been burglarized.
Speaker 13 (25:16):
And then on.
Speaker 14 (25:17):
Saturday here in La Saturday Morning Lapds called to the
home of Real Housewives star sett In Strack and he
was a dog walker, we're told, who could see that
there was a break in at the home, called police,
they showed up, burglars were gone. But today Strack she's
putting out security camera footage the burglars in her home.
She says all of her luxury handbags and find jewelry
(25:39):
were taken.
Speaker 13 (25:40):
But it's no secret where she lives or where she was.
Speaker 14 (25:43):
That she and Kathy Hilton, who was also burglarized, that
they were at Bravo Cohn And in Vegas, and they're
all over their show saying, look at my home.
Speaker 13 (25:52):
Here's where I live. Look at the stuff that I've got.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
A great thing about living in bel Air, living in
La we get the sun.
Speaker 14 (26:00):
Look at everything that you could come in and take
right here. And that's the home that they went into.
So about twelve hours later on Saturday, as rain was
pouring here in La then it was to the bel
Air home, mccathy Hilton Lapd got there. She was a
Bravo con in Vegas. We don't know if anything was taken.
TMZ says that her husband was there and he saw
three burglars on the property.
Speaker 13 (26:20):
But yeah, I go back.
Speaker 14 (26:21):
Gary to it when we've covered these before that and
it really came in handy when Jennifer Aniston had that
stocker who tried to get in but he was stopped
by high end armed security, and leaders within the LAPD say,
celebrities really need that that it is twenty four to
seven armed security because police they just can't get their
fast enough typically before burglars, whether it is an empty
(26:45):
home or an occupied home, before they're going to get
in and get out. And that is the critical difference
beyond justin larm system that an owner may or may
not turn on, but even if it's on, they go in,
they break in, do whatever they're going to do, and
then they bail out. But really highly trained armed security
that can be almost like a many police department and
stop an intruder. It worked for Jennifer Aniston, and you know,
(27:07):
the LAPED says that more celebrities have got to do it.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
I'm curious.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I know that there have been some celebrities sports figures
like that that are on you know, away games, but
they have people staying at their homes that they have
also I guess you would say interrupted what would have
been a break in because the expectation was, oh since whatever.
I remember, Yasiel Puigue was a victim of this way
back in the day, ten years ago or so, but
(27:33):
that someone was at his home at the time that
had happened, so they didn't take anything.
Speaker 14 (27:38):
Yeah, And in Seattle there have been a number of these,
and in some of those there have been family members
or wives who have been home and either they have
locked themselves into a room while the burglars were ransacking
the place or they were able to scare them away.
So not that you want to leave a loved one
at home, but it probably does help if there's movement
in the home and lights on. But again, some of
(27:59):
these even the homeowner being there, all of Jennifer Aniston,
where there's that concern of somebody trying to get in
even if they're there, And that's why it goes back
to whether they're there or not. The recommendation now being
of have somebody there who's got training to interact with
them and to try to stop them.
Speaker 13 (28:19):
But it's expensive.
Speaker 14 (28:21):
It's intrusive to always have people roaming around your property
and protecting you. But the cost of it is probably
the biggest thing that have twenty four to seven security
is a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah, not to mention the fact that there is the
ubiquity of security cameras probably gives some people a false
sense of security. Yeah, you could catch images of people
on your cameras or the neighbor's cameras.
Speaker 14 (28:44):
Yeah, she's got images of them getting in, but she
lost all of her luxury handbags and all of her jewelry.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Yeah, and even then the you know, mask hood and.
Speaker 13 (28:52):
What do you do afterwards? Yeah, they've got masks on
and they get.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Away, not to self visit Alex's house with mask on
and get away.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
All right, good to hear from you.
Speaker 13 (29:02):

This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Big twelve o'clock hour. We're going to talk a little
bit more about those crazy calls that you've gotten from
your boss in the middle of the night, asking you
to do something that maybe you shouldn't have done. I
realized as we were doing this story earlier, I was
asked by my boss wants to pick his wife up
from the airport, and I did. I didn't know any better.
(00:29):
I was twenty two, twenty three years old, and I
was in it. I was a reporter for radio stations,
so I had a car available to me. It's not
like I was using my own car. But I don't
know if I would do that. I mean, I don't
think my boss is gonna ask me to pick his
wife up from the airport. Besides, it's Burbank Airport's five
minutes away. She could take she can uber. There is
(00:50):
also True Crime Tuesday coming up. Among other things, we're
going to be talking about that Murdoch story out of
South Carolina again, a new twist. All of that, and
some athletes and TV stars targeted by home burglaries because
they're away and on TV, so everybody knows when they're
not home. We'll be talking with ABC's Alex Stone about
(01:11):
that a little bit later. What else is going on?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Time for what's happening?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Well, the biggest story today is that the House of
Representatives has passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. This is
an attempt to force the Department of Justice to release
all of the Jeffrey Epstein files that have not already
been released. The passed today by a vote of two sorry,
(01:41):
four twenty seven to one.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
It now goes to the Senate.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
The bill would compel the Department of Justice to reach
the to release all unclassified materials that are related to
the is several investigations of Jeffrey Epstein. Now I said
four twenty seven to one. The one no vote in
this case Clay Higgins, a congressman representing Louisiana's fighting third
Congressional district, and he was the sole no vote. In
(02:08):
a statement, he said, I've been a principal know on
this bill from the beginning. What was wrong with the
bill three months ago is still wrong today. It abandons
two hundred and fifty years of criminal justice procedure in America.
As written, the bill reveals and injures thousands of innocent people, witnesses,
people who provided alibis, family members, etc. And if enacted
(02:30):
in its current form, this type of broad reveal of
criminal investigative files will absolutely result in innocent people being hurt.
That's similar to what Speaker Mike Johnson said in a
news conference this morning that he's concerned this is going
to create a whole new list of victims. But the
idea of having your name potentially associated with a guy
(02:51):
which you can explain away, versus these women that were
victimized by him and his compatriots, it's kind of a
it's not the same game. It's not the same use
of the word victim. Goes to the Senate. The Senate
could change some of those things, by the way, and
could add in some protections for those people that Clay
(03:12):
Higgins and Mike Johnson are worried about.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
We'll see where it goes from there.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
A federal court in Texas has blocked the redrawn congressional
map from going into effect before next year's midterms. A
panel of judges said that the have to use the
previous map instead, this is about a five year old map.
By ruling signed by Judge Jeffrey Brown is likely to
(03:37):
be appealed. By the way Brown was a nominee of
President Trump, this will likely the appeal likely goes directly
to the US Supreme Court. That of course tees up
a fight that could decide to control of Congress depending
on how the Supreme Court decides on a very important case.
A bunch of Internet services were down today cloud Flare.
This infrastructure company called cloud Flare, said that a bug
(04:00):
led to problems on its network just before probably four
o'clock this morning. They had begun investigating the issue. Downdetector
dot com to track service outages, noted that things like Twitter, Spotify, OpenAI,
Amazon web services all appeared to be slowed down but
not necessarily knocked off because of the outage, And then
(04:23):
just about six forty five seven o'clock hour time, they
said that the issue had been resolved. So you may
have slept through the whole thing. Stock market is having
a rough day today. The Dow Jones Industrial Average had
been down about five hundred and forty points when I
checked earlier. As of right now, it's down about two ninety.
(04:43):
The biggest measure of US stocks is the S and
P five hundred. It is also down, but percentage wise
not quite as a big There was a problem with AI.
There's been a lot of talk, a lot of rumblings
in the background about an AI bubble that may becoming coming,
that maybe they're overvalued, that they've been spending way too
(05:04):
much money and borrowing way too much money to put
up data centers with no real payoff on it just yet.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
So at this point it's the fear.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
As we know, a lot of the stock market is
driven by emotion and the fear of an AI bubble.
So the Dow is down three to h six as
of right now. Going on in Ontario today funeral services
for San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputy who was shot last month.
The suspect then led authorities on that high speed motorcycle
chase that ended when an off duty police officer in
(05:37):
a car bumped into the guy and flipped him off
of his bike. Deputy Andrew Nunez is being honored today
at the Toyota Arena in Ontario. The funeral is not
actually open to the public, but the procession this morning.
The people were encouraged to line the streets to pay
their respects. There is a new lawsuit. Eleven months after
(06:00):
the Eton fire roared through Altadena, the sister of one
of the nineteen people killed in that file has filed
a lawsuit. Lawyers for the group LA Fire Justice Jerry
Darden is suing so Cal Edison, the Edison International, their
parent company, and the technology company Genesis, which has contracted
(06:21):
with La County to send out evacuation notices to her
residence and an event of a fire. That lawsuit says
that Genesis warned people east of Lake Avenue, but not
those west of Lake Avenue, or at least they didn't
warn him in time, that it was too late. That
one of the attorneys said, everybody else that died, including
(06:43):
Jerry's sister, is on the left side, the west side
of Lake Avenue. As we put on our common sense hat,
that is an impossibility unless something was done wrong, made
the accusation in a city whose population is more than
fifty percent non white. And what he said was this
(07:04):
attorney was, at its core, this is really a case
of digital redlining.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Jerry's sister, Stacey, grew up in Altadena.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
She had been in contact with Jerry throughout the evening
of January seventh. She'd been following the news reports. She
believed she was safe since she hadn't actually received an
evacuation notice. She stayed in her home. Her sister assumed
that she had gotten out on foot on the next day,
but she never turned up and her body was discovered
a week later. She wasn't actually identified until April of
(07:35):
this year. So when we come back that story about
the crazy calls that your boss has made to you
off hours? How often does that happen? Do you ever
get calls like that? Should you be reachable after hours?
Obviously it's going to depend on your job. But what's
the craziest thing that's happened to you? Leave us a
talkback message on the iHeart app. Hit that little button
(07:57):
sends us a quick message and tell us what the
crazy thing is that your boss asked you to do.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Well, do that we come back.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
The Epstein Transparency Act. This is a plan to get
the Justice Department to reveal all of what is in
the Jeffrey Epstein files overwhelmingly voted in favor of this.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Four twenty seven to one was the vote.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
There was one congressman out of Louisiana who said he
was concerned that this doesn't do enough to protect people
whose names will be in there that will be associated
with this case, who had nothing to do with the
criminality of it. President Trump announced that he dismissed the
intelligence findings that Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia
(08:45):
likely had at very least some culpability in the murder
of Washington Post writer Jamal Koshogji. It's likely, according to
the intelligence, that he's the one who actually ordered the
hit in the first place. But these came today. President
Trump did welcome the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia
on his first White House visit in seven years, and
(09:09):
it lasted a couple of hours. The Crown Prince has
already left and will, I guess, not be going.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Back to the White House anytime soon.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Cloppers at Cloppers, Clippers looked like the Cloppers and lost
to the seventy six ers one ten one weight. Last night,
the Utah Jazz at Crypto taken on the Lakers tonight
Cowboys beat the Raiders thirty three sixteen on Monday Night Football.
We asked you earlier, what are the craziest things that
your boss has called you to do or the craziest
hours that they've called you to do? Other work stuff
(09:39):
stems from an article about whether or not after hours
calls should be allowed depending on where you work.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
I one time lived in a transitional living center, so
it was like a home shelter, and I was working
as a prep cook dishwasher at a very nice Italian
rust in Ventura, California. And anyways, the general manager thought
because I lived in a homeless shelter that I would
(10:08):
know all kinds of prostitutes.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
And he texted me.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
One night and asked me if I could find him
somebody for around twenty dollars.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
So, wow, think I've ever got that one?
Speaker 5 (10:19):
It's up Gary? What's up?
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Shannon? So I've been doing pass androl for about thirteen years.
So about ten years ago, my boss calls me late,
I'm off the clock, and he's frantic. They stole her.
They stole her. I'm like, who they stole his wife?
He said, somebody called said they kidnapped his wife and
won a ransom and had me out there in Long
Beach looking for his wife. I know why they didn't
(10:44):
call the cops, but I had his back.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
That was crazy work.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
It's pretty crazy work.
Speaker 7 (10:49):
Many years ago, I had a record deal with Capitol
and I was I got married the same year. Was
on my honeymoon and my producer Slash called to ask
if I would come and do an appearance on Club
MTV with my musical partner. They knew ized on my honeymoon,
(11:09):
but they asked anyway, so we made a detour off
we went to New York.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
That's show biz, Well, I guess yeah, And that's for
a good reason too.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Well.
Speaker 8 (11:19):
Back when I first started working, I had a warehouse
job and I had a day off. My mager called
me that day telling me to come in. I didn't
go at all. I didn't an answer his calls. He'll
have the voicemail tell me to come in, And a
few days later he asked me why I didn't show up.
I told him because I don't answer phone calls during
my off days. And he told me that I was
on call, which I wasn't, and we ended up having
(11:42):
a huge argument which ended up in me telling him
if he has an issue, we can go outside and fight.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
I've never been challenged to a fight by a boss.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Again, what is the craziest thing that a boss has
called you after hours to do?
Speaker 9 (11:58):
Good morning, Gary Schultz. I was at one time that
manager that made the call. I'm retired, but I worked
for a utility company and when I was on call
as a manager and an emergency would come up, I
would have to call people at home, wake them up
to go get the rigs and go take care of
it sometimes, you know, one two in the morning.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
But I was that guy. But it just went with
the territory.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Yeah, he'd being that guy.
Speaker 10 (12:22):
Hey, Gary and Shannon, I don't understand how these bosses
can expect you to answer your phone on your time
off for free. In my trade, we would get called
all hours of night weekends, but once we said a
low and realized it was our dispatch, it was a
two hour minimum. Double time started right there. Wow, Okay,
(12:45):
have a good day. Benefits of a union.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
No kidding, My union doesn't do that.
Speaker 11 (12:50):
Hey, what's up, Gary and Shannon?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
This is Devin in Vegas. Just wanted to react.
Speaker 11 (12:57):
To the boss topic work around the clock twenty four
to seven. My wife is my boss, and anytime of
the night she can want a glass of water or anything.
And I'm one duty.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I'm sure you guys understand.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Yes, this message is for Gary and Shannon. This is
Solomon from Corona. And one time my boss wanted me
on Christmas Eve. He wanted me to go in two
in the morning on Christmas Day and fire one of
our employees. I said, Man, I'm Jewish. I'm not going
in on Christmas firing anybody. You want to fire him,
(13:34):
you do it. Hey, what crazy?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
You wouldn't go in because you wouldn't go on Christmas
because you're Jewish.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Hey, Gary, it's Mike and the ie think. Yeah.
Speaker 12 (13:45):
I was getting married one time, one of the couple
of times, and my boss called me the morning of
my wedding and was screaming at me because I can
forgot to clarify something. The weird thing is this is
before cell phones. I was at my parents' house. I
don't know how he got my parents' phone number. Oh boy,
(14:07):
I'm putting a tuxs on and getting my ass shoot
at the same time.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
It's fun like a delight. All right. Well, we'll continue
to take these.
Speaker 2 (14:16):

Up next, we're going to talk about Bianca Torebiat Simpson.
You don't know her name, but you know who she's
accused of. Murder she has accused of. We'll talk about
her the housekeeper job that she had, and why she
(15:05):
knew that Alex Murdoch was a bad guy.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Also, Alex Stone's going to join us.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Why everybody all these celebrities keep getting their homes broken into.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
That's going to come up during True Crime Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
President Trump has dismissed the Intelligence agency findings that it
was the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed ben Salmon that had
some culpability and the murder of Jamalikas Shogji. But years later,
Trump has tightened his embrace of the Crown Prince of
Saudi Arabia, said he's an indispensable player in shaping the
Middle East. The Crown Prince was at the White House
(15:45):
earlier today for a meeting with the President. President Trump
announced just last night that the United States is going
to be selling f thirty.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Fives to Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
The House, meanwhile, has voted over whelmingly to pass a
bill who had forced the Justice Department to publicly release
files on Jeffrey Epstein. The vote showed the pressure that's
been mounting on different legislators and the Trump administration to
meet this demand that the Justice Department released all of
its case files. He was the guy who killed himself
in a Manhattan jail awaiting trial twenty nineteen on charges
(16:16):
that he has sexually abused and trafficked all kinds of
young girls. A panel of three federal judges has blocked
the state of Texas from using a new congressional map
that Republicans drew in hopes of picking up those five
House seats. That map, of course, touched off the redistricting
battle that came to California with Prop fifty in the
(16:37):
passage thereof. This may may have an impact on the
fight against Prop fifty as well, but it's likely that
this thing will be appealed. Texas Governor Greg Gabbott has
already said that will happen, and it would likely go
straight to the US Supreme Court in order to defend
the map.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
It's time for a True Crime Tuesday.
Speaker 12 (17:01):
The story is true true, No, it sounds made up.
Speaker 13 (17:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Gary and Shannon present True Crime.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
All right, Well, we have some first hand knowledge now
about the Alec Murdoch murders. Bianca Tarabiate Simpson had no idea,
she said, who shot and killed Maggie and Paul Murdoch
at their home in Islandton, South Carolina. When the murders
came to light back in June of twenty twenty one.
(17:33):
And it was a weird, stunning, wild case when it
first hit the headlines. She began working this is Bianca
began working for Alex Murdoch in two thousand and two.
She helped him with his Spanish speaking clients and eventually
a few years later became the family's housekeeper and had
seen him on the day of the murders when he
left for work. This is a woman who loved the
(17:56):
family that she was working for. She said that he
all always treated her well. Believed Alex when he said
early on that he thought that Paul and Maggie may
have been killed by a vigilani out for Justin's justice,
for the vengeance of a death of Malory Beach, a
little nineteen year old who died when Paul crashed his boat.
(18:18):
Over time, however, the housekeeper who was I mean, she
had a career in the Navy. She was a Navy
vet former corrections officer before she became basically an interpreter
for Alex Murdoch. But she said she noticed some details
that pointed her to the unusually amiable, fun loving boss
(18:40):
that would have made him the killer. She said on
the day after the murders, she noticed some unusual things
at that hunting lodge where they were killed. For example,
Maggie's Mercedes was in the wrong spot, parked in the
wrong spot, something Maggie never did. She said that the pajamas.
Maggie's pajamas were also laid out on the floor of
(19:03):
the laundry room.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Which Bianca thought was weird.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
She said, I knew automatically that wasn't something she would do,
so she thought someone else moved the suv staged the
pajamas to look like she had planned to sleep there
at the hunting lodge of the night of the murders,
which she wasn't planning on doing, but at that point,
at that point, she didn't know who that would be
that would have set this up.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
She said.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Things started to gel about two months after the murders.
Alex sat down and made a point of telling Bianca
that he was wearing a different shirt on the night
of the murders, and she remembers Alec Murdoch telling her quote,
you remember what I was wearing that day. You know,
(19:49):
the Vinnie Vines shirt. Vineyard Vines is apparently the brand,
And she said for her that was the gut punch,
gut punch moment that she vividly remembers him wearing another
shirt because she had straightened its collar for him before
he left for work, and she wrote, one thing was
for sure, he was lying. She at the time didn't
(20:10):
know why after he was arrested. And if you remember
the progression of this case, Alex Murdoch was arrested a
couple of months after the murders for a bunch of
financial crimes, and then almost an entire year, well a
little bit more than a year after the murders, he
was arrested for the murders of his wife and son.
(20:32):
And she said even then she still held out hope
that he was innocent because she liked the guy this
moment this much. But her aha moment about his guilt
came after his murder trial began January of twenty three.
She saw police bodycam footage from the first responding officer
at the scene, and in the video you can see
Alex Murdoch standing next to his suburban and inside the vehicle,
(20:56):
Bianca saw something that she knew, something that she saw
was familiar. It was a beach towel on the front seat,
and she said, I looked at that towel, and the towel.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Was what gave her the clue she knew he murdered
his wife and son.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Alex told police that he was sleeping in the main
house at the hunting lodge when Maggie and Paul were shot.
He said he had gone to his parents' house in
Varnville to check on Dad, who died three days after
the murder. Alex said that when he returned to the
hunting lodge, he found the bodies of his wife and
son and called nine one one, But earlier on June seventh,
earlier in the day, Bianca had washed and dried that
(21:41):
folded towel and put it on a high shelf in
the laundry room, and she says that he must have
hosed himself off near the kennels and either changed there
or back at the house, and she says, went into
the laundry room, grabbed that towel to finish drying himself
and then possibly took the freshly washed a T shirt
that was hanging there. That T shirt was the one
(22:03):
that he was wearing when he called nine to one
one and was seen talking to the officer in the
body cam footage. She said she thinks that he used
the towel to clean up after the murders and it
may have had DNA evidence on it as well, and
like the T shirt that he had on that day.
That towel vanished that night, and she said, whatever happened
to that towel.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
She's convinced now that he did it.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Obviously, he's been found guilty, so that's not a problem.
But she's out with a new book that describes all
of these different clues that she said eventually led her
to figuring that he was the one who killed his
own wife and son. And as we talked about last week,
this is the subject of that Hulu documentary that has
apparently getting some pretty great reviews. All right, up next,
(22:47):
why it is that people are getting their homes burgled
while they're away?
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Oh and on TV, we'll explain.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
If we get any more information, I mean, there's not
a lot that's going to come out today, specifically about
this House vote overwhelmingly to pass the bill that forces
the Justice Department to release its files on the Jeffrey
Epstein investigation, but could get some indications about what the
Senate has in store for it. John Thune is expected
to bring it to the floor of the Senate. The
question is will they add amendments to it. There are
(23:27):
some concerns from some people that they need to put
in some protections for people whose names could be in
those files that really.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Well, there are some new additions to the list of
athletes and celebrities who have been hit by home burglars
when they are away. The thing is, these athletes and
celebrities are well, they're pretty visible when they're not at
home because you know, they're on television. ABC's Alex Stone
is joining us Live to talk more about all of this.
(23:59):
That's the reason you stay home all the time, is right?
Speaker 13 (24:02):
Is never leave?
Speaker 8 (24:03):
Right?
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 14 (24:04):
Yeah, that's one way to take care of it. Hello, Gerry,
how are you. I haven't talked to you, although we
haven't talked in forever. It's so good. I camp outside
your house waiting to see you leave, and you're not there,
and then I'm like, all right, well whatever, I'll try later.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
You're no I know.
Speaker 13 (24:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 14 (24:20):
So this is an ongoing problem, and we've seen it
in LA and one of these cases involves LA. But
a bunch of athletes have dealt with it, celebrities as well,
that everybody knows where they are, and whether they're on
TV or they're all over social media showing their whereabouts,
it's no secret. And so first of all, Schidor Sanders
that he was making his debut for the Cleveland Browns
(24:41):
this weekend, and as he was playing and losing that game,
his home was burglarized. And today the Sheriff's department is
saying around two hundred grand worth of stuff was taken
from his home. But it seemed like at the end
of the game the Browns had just lost. He had
no idea what was going on back at his home.
He was soon to find out.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
I'm just thankful, I'm you know, I'm thankful for the opportunity,
thankful to seeing Autumn twelve jerseys out there.
Speaker 14 (25:04):
Probably not thankful when he found out that two hundred
grand worth of his stuff had been taken. But he
joins the ranks of Travis Kelsey and Patrick Mahomes and
Joe Burrow now who while they've been playing that their
homes have been burglarized.
Speaker 13 (25:16):
And then on.
Speaker 14 (25:17):
Saturday here in La Saturday Morning Lapds called to the
home of Real Housewives star sett In Strack and he
was a dog walker, we're told, who could see that
there was a break in at the home, called police,
they showed up, burglars were gone. But today Strack she's
putting out security camera footage the burglars in her home.
She says all of her luxury handbags and find jewelry
(25:39):
were taken.
Speaker 13 (25:40):
But it's no secret where she lives or where she was.
Speaker 14 (25:43):
That she and Kathy Hilton, who was also burglarized, that
they were at Bravo Cohn And in Vegas, and they're
all over their show saying, look at my home.
Speaker 13 (25:52):
Here's where I live. Look at the stuff that I've got.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
A great thing about living in bel Air, living in
La we get the sun.
Speaker 14 (26:00):
Look at everything that you could come in and take
right here. And that's the home that they went into.
So about twelve hours later on Saturday, as rain was
pouring here in La then it was to the bel
Air home, mccathy Hilton Lapd got there. She was a
Bravo con in Vegas. We don't know if anything was taken.
TMZ says that her husband was there and he saw
three burglars on the property.
Speaker 13 (26:20):
But yeah, I go back.
Speaker 14 (26:21):
Gary to it when we've covered these before that and
it really came in handy when Jennifer Aniston had that
stocker who tried to get in but he was stopped
by high end armed security, and leaders within the LAPD say,
celebrities really need that that it is twenty four to
seven armed security because police they just can't get their
fast enough typically before burglars, whether it is an empty
(26:45):
home or an occupied home, before they're going to get
in and get out. And that is the critical difference
beyond justin larm system that an owner may or may
not turn on, but even if it's on, they go in,
they break in, do whatever they're going to do, and
then they bail out. But really highly trained armed security
that can be almost like a many police department and
stop an intruder. It worked for Jennifer Aniston, and you know,
(27:07):
the LAPED says that more celebrities have got to do it.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
I'm curious.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
I know that there have been some celebrities sports figures
like that that are on you know, away games, but
they have people staying at their homes that they have
also I guess you would say interrupted what would have
been a break in because the expectation was, oh since whatever.
I remember, Yasiel Puigue was a victim of this way
back in the day, ten years ago or so, but
(27:33):
that someone was at his home at the time that
had happened, so they didn't take anything.
Speaker 14 (27:38):
Yeah, And in Seattle there have been a number of these,
and in some of those there have been family members
or wives who have been home and either they have
locked themselves into a room while the burglars were ransacking
the place or they were able to scare them away.
So not that you want to leave a loved one
at home, but it probably does help if there's movement
in the home and lights on. But again, some of
(27:59):
these even the homeowner being there, all of Jennifer Aniston,
where there's that concern of somebody trying to get in
even if they're there, And that's why it goes back
to whether they're there or not. The recommendation now being
of have somebody there who's got training to interact with
them and to try to stop them.
Speaker 13 (28:19):
But it's expensive.
Speaker 14 (28:21):
It's intrusive to always have people roaming around your property
and protecting you. But the cost of it is probably
the biggest thing that have twenty four to seven security
is a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah, not to mention the fact that there is the
ubiquity of security cameras probably gives some people a false
sense of security. Yeah, you could catch images of people
on your cameras or the neighbor's cameras.
Speaker 14 (28:44):
Yeah, she's got images of them getting in, but she
lost all of her luxury handbags and all of her jewelry.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Yeah, and even then the you know, mask hood and.
Speaker 13 (28:52):
What do you do afterwards? Yeah, they've got masks on
and they get.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Away, not to self visit Alex's house with mask on
and get away.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
All right, good to hear from you.
