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 tear and the skies is loaded.
We've got a dead passenger, We've got passengers getting handsy,
We've got yes, disrespectful PDA acts. Oh, and then the
very serious one that we're going to have to spend
(00:21):
some time on that Air India crash, the one that
was headed to London and just fell out of the sky.
They are now pointing towards Boeing inspections of Boeing fuel switches,
which affects us all as well, So we'll get into
that as well. Do you remember missed connections? And it
was like in the back page of the newspapers or
(00:45):
what did they call them, circulars or then it made
its way onto Craigslist where you'd see somebody at the
Ralphs and maybe you pass by each other when you're
looking at oranges and bananas and you think, hmm, I'd
like that, and maybe there's eye contact, there's a shared
mmm I'd like that vibe moment, and then one of
(01:05):
you jumps on Craigslist and says, hey, did I see
you at the Ralphs with the oranges and I had
the bananas or whatever, and then they connect and it's
a beautiful story that ends up in the La Times
Arts and Culture section when they get married. That is
coming back, despite the fact that there are no papers
(01:26):
and no Craigslist. Is there still Craigslist? There may still
be a Craigslist. But we'll tell you all about that
as well. In the meantime, we dive into Washington. I'm
a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar.
And when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah, we got The real problem is that our leaders
are done.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
The other side never quits, so.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Flaw, I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
So that now you train the Squaw, I can imagine
what can be and be unburdened by what has been.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
You know, Mrvans have always been going at.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Stupid. A political plunder is when a politician actually tells
the truth. Whether people voted for.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
You were not. Swamp Watch.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
They're all counter on swamp Watch. Brought to you by
the Good Feet Store. Are you living with foot pain?
Have you been diagnosed with plantrofasciitis. Visit the Good Feet
Store and learn how you can find relief without shots,
surgeries or medications. Well, Ukrainians seem unimpressed by Trump's fifty
day ultimatum to Putin. Putin has yet to respond, and
(02:31):
Trump is now saying and the people surrounding him that
this is in line with his America first tenant of
his administrations. People close to the president say he is
privately pessimistic about the war with Ukraine and Russia. He
(02:52):
ran on settling this thing right away. He believed that
he had a strong enough relationship with Putin and enough
leverage over or Zelenski and Ukraine that he could be
the one to make this deal. And it hasn't happened yet,
which has led to frustration, and also there's growing frustration
(03:12):
among his base. We talked about the turning point gen
Z Convention over the weekend. A lot of happiness, a
lot of victory laps for the young Maga world, but
a couple moments of tension. One of them was one
we tackled in the first Year, First Hour today. If
you want to hear it, go back and check out
the podcast, because we did a pretty deep dive into
the Jeffrey Epstein storm that is not going away, and
(03:36):
the Magabase holding tight to this hardlining. They don't want
child rape as hidden swept under the rug. I'm not
okay with that, not okay with people in power having
their names cleared because they're rich. Well. Another moment of
contention at the Young MAGA convention over the weekend was
Trump's willingness to continue to aid Ukraine whatever happened to America. First,
(04:01):
we don't want any part in this war was the message. Well,
yesterday the President responded by going further than he ever
has in helping Ukraine defend itself against Russia, green lighting
Europe's purchase of these Patriot missile defense systems and other
weapons for Ukraine. It's all about who signs the check, right,
(04:23):
that's the spin cycle. We make the weapons, Europe has them,
if they're handing them over to Ukraine, they're obsensively writing
the check to Ukraine, not US. But there are weapons now.
People close to the President say he doesn't believe Zelensky
holds the cards. You don't need to be close to
(04:43):
the president to understand that Trump doesn't make much of Zelenski.
They say the people close to him that Trump still
believes Moscow has the upper hand, but that his frustration
with Putin has grown and because of that he's more
willing to take part in this conflict that he insisted
he could settle quickly. That it's his annoyance with Putin
(05:05):
for not capitulating to Trump that is fueling his help
of Ukraine, which makes sense. The senior White House official
anonymously so said that the president's view is Russia is
going to win. It's a matter of how long it takes.
Russia has the bigger economy, the bigger military, has more
(05:25):
than enough bodies to throw into the meat grinder, and
just doesn't care. And that'll although they're making slow progress
or still making progress, because they don't care. It's ruthless. Now,
even as Trump wants to mount up the pressure on
Putin and he is kind of setting aside the isolationist
(05:47):
wing of the MAGA movement, he is insisting that this
aligns with America first and fits into the decades long
view that America has been ripped off by NATO by
allies and that they've gotten a free ride on defense.
He had an Oval Office meeting Trump did with NATO
Secretary General yesterday. We talked about a little bit earlier,
(06:08):
but he exaggerated how much money the US has already
spent on aid to Ukraine and emphasized that Europeans would
finally pay their fair share, that this weapons deal that
he made yesterday was all about Europe signing that check.
He said, We're not buying it, but we will manufacture
it because ours are the best weapons. Right, They're going
to be paying for it, he said. They feel very
(06:30):
strongly about it. We feel strongly about it too, but
we're in for a lot of money and we don't
want to do it anymore. So that's basically where his
comments are coming from when he says that this is
in line giving them weapons, well, having Europe pay for
them our weapons is in line with America First. Elbridge
(06:53):
Colby is the Pentagon's top policy official, and he doubled
down on this on X, saying, central to President Trump's
common sense America First, that message is that our alliances
have to be fair and equitable for them to be sustainable.
So this is essentially Trump with backup, giving a big
(07:14):
middle finger to putin well at the same time trying
to tell his base Maga that we're making Europe pay
for this help for Ukraine. It's very very next level
manipulation and I don't even know if it's a manipulation.
I think the spin cycle works there. But we'll see
what Putin has to say. He has not responded. Moscow
(07:37):
has said that they take the president's words very seriously
and that they will be responding. I wouldn't expect something
from Putin within the next oh, I don't know, forty
eight hours or so. I'm in the meantime. Coming up,
we've got tear in the skies. That Air India crash
is pointing to more problems with Boeing. What they're taking
a look at now involving fuel switches and some fun
(08:00):
tearing the skies as well. What do you think was
this couple's disrespectful PDA act? Like what reaches the threshold
of disrespectful on a plane when it comes to PDA.
We'll tell you what happened on this flight when we
come back.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
All right, we've got a faulty fuel switches, a dead passenger,
naked passenger, and a bunch of bees. It sounds like
tearing the skies to me. Bike you zero and I
or you're a glare data Roger, get off my plane,
Roger Rogers, what's our vector? Victor?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Enough is enough?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I haven't had it with these mufty.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Plank snakes on this money right, it's Gary and Shannon's
terror in the skies. On KFI, we.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Will start with the series Air India crash investigation and continues,
and now it's prompted inspections of Boeing fuel switches and
this is really terrifying stuff. Regulators there in India and
South Korea have ordered inspections of the fuel control switches
on Boeings. And I don't know why this is limited
(09:16):
to India and South Korea. It's the same Boeings. I mean,
shouldn't they all be checked out. There was a report
on this deadly Air India crash, the one that just
kind of fell out of the sky with that one
soul survivor. It showed that the fuel supply had been cut.
Indian investigators did not draw any final conclusions about the
(09:42):
cause or who was responsible for the crash of Flight
one seventy one back in June, but it did appear
to rule out mechanical failure or design flaws, and the
focus was narrowed to the fuel switches on the Boeing
seven eight seven Dreamliner. The most striking finding was that
(10:02):
the two fuel control switches had been switched off seconds
after takeoff. Now, each switch is equipped with a locking
mechanism to prevent any sort of accidental movement, so it
won't just switch off if the wind blows. Experts suggest
it was unlikely these switches were moved without human involvement.
(10:29):
They believe to take out double negatives there. The experts
believe there was a human involved with switching off the
fuel switch. The preliminary report said that Air India had
not carried out the suggested inspections because they were not
mandatory and that the FAA had not viewed the concerns
(10:51):
about the locking feature is serious enough to be considered unsafe. Again,
if the locking feature doesn't work, there's no way that
those which is, they're going to be moved anyway. They're
just too firmly set in whatever position they're in. Maybe
was the thinking, but the recommendation from the FAA back
(11:14):
in twenty eighteen recommended that carriers using these boeings look
at that locking mechanism so that they could not be moved.
That was in twenty eighteen, and then, like I said,
they did not do that because it wasn't a mandatory. Tay,
take a look at this. I kind of think when
it comes from the FAA, take a look at the
(11:35):
fuel switch, that should be mandatory. Pretty much everything on
the giant tins that fly us through the air at
thirty five thousand, I think it should all be mandatory.
And I obviously know not what I speak in terms
of aircraft or flying aircraft and what that would entail
probably impossible. Those pilots will tell you there's a lot
(11:59):
of holes in those place lanes that you don't even
know about. They're probably just fine in most cases. Singapore's
Civil Aviation Authority says it's working with airlines on the
inspections and they've checked out fuel switches. They've checked out
fuel switches that the inspection company it's called SCOOT there
(12:22):
in Singapore, that they have all looked in. Everything's functioning properly.
The preliminary report on the crash described a confused interaction
between the pilots about the interrupted fuel supply This goes
back to Nathan Fielders the rehearsal current season. His premise
on that HBO show if you haven't watched it, is
(12:44):
that a lot of these catastrophic crashes, and how could
they not be a lot of them can be traced
back by the communication or the lack thereof between pilots,
and a lot of that can be described by the
airline Industri's edict that if you've got problems, you don't
bring them up. You just sit in your problems. You
go to one counseling session, and the airline industry finds
(13:07):
out about it, you're grounded, probably for life. Just don't
deal with any of that. We don't deal in that
same with medical problems. They have no zero tolerance essentially
for any of that. And he also highlights how the
pilots and the co pilots often meet that day. They
don't interact. They may go to the pilot's room, but
(13:28):
they have their cup of coffee separately, no small talk.
So with this particular crash and the confused interaction between
the pilots, it apparently went like this. In the cockpit
voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the
other why he did Why did he cut off the fuel?
(13:52):
The other pilot responded that he did not do so.
About ten seconds later, the switches were turned back on,
but the the plane could not regain power quickly enough
to stop its descent. The report said there are no
recommended actions to the aircraft and engine manufacturers. This was
(14:13):
the plane, if you don't remember, crash into that dining
hall of the medical college before exploding. Two hundred and
sixty people killed in the crash. It looked like it
was it was taking off and all of a sudden
just failed to achieve any sort of elevation and crash
into that medical building. Nineteen people on the ground were
killed as well, and there was that one sole survivor.
I thought we would hear more about him in the
(14:35):
ensuing weeks and months. Is he just going to turn
up on Dancing with the Stars next year and we're
going to be like, who is that? All? That's right?
That was the guy that walked her away from that
plane crash. But troubling in that the cockpit interaction is troubling.
The fact that the fuel switches were not checked out
because it wasn't a mandatory thing to check out is troubling.
(14:58):
The fact that they say that they could not have
been moved without human involvement is troubling. Now, I don't
know where the fuel switches land on a plane like this,
Like are they inside? Are they on the outside of
the fuselage? How does it work? I have no idea,
but it seems like several problems we're at play there
(15:19):
all right. When we come back, we've got some lighter
tear in the sky is to get to We've got it? Well,
not this first one about the dead guy. Have you
ever been on a plane where someone died. I was
on a plane where I thought someone and I have
no idea the person may have died, but we had
to have an emergency landing in the frozen tundra of
Canada I think it was Canada, I don't know, and
(15:44):
let this guy off for medical attention. But it was terrifying.
Tell you about it. Also, we've got disrespectful PDA in
flight and the massive swarm of bees that affected a
flight recently as well.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
A, put something in your stomach, because we're going to
be talking about the history of the crunch rap Supreme
and the quest for crunch Rap supremacy that has ensued
since the original crunch Rep Supreme debuted twenty years ago.
Can you believe it only came into our lives in
(16:20):
two thousand and five. I feel like the crunch Rep
Supreme was a part of my childhood, but apparently it
only appeared in two thousand and five. But anyway, restaurant
after a restaurant has tried to duplicate the success, some
finding it, others not. It could be, as some would argue,
an unattainable goal to match the supremacy that is the
(16:42):
crunch Rap Supreme. But we continue a terror in the
skies and we have a death to talk about, guys.
A passenger died on a Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul
to San Francisco over the weekend, causing the flight to
divert to Chako. Unfortunately, there was a medical emergency on board.
(17:07):
Aircraft entered a holding pattern. Flight attendants administered CPR, consulted
medical personnel on the ground, and unfortunately the the passenger
did not make it. The cause of the medical emergency
was not disclosed. I had this happen well, I don't
know if the guy died and I'll never know. It's
(17:29):
just one of those things. But it was a flight. Gosh,
I don't even remember where we were coming from, somewhere
in Europe, headed back, and all of a sudden, look up,
we were in the last row of the of the aircraft,
right next to the bathrooms. Super super econ I like
(17:51):
to call it. It's super economy. When you're the last row,
your chair doesn't tilt back on an international flight. You
know you're on board for twelve hours, but you're chair
doesn't tilt back. We probably got those tickets for about
one hundred and fifty dollars apiece. I mean it was awful.
I mean you're just sitting there smelling the economy bathroom
the whole time. It was It was truly awful. I
think it was the last flight my husband booked, and
(18:14):
this was years ago, but anyway, we're back there and
all of a sudden, I remember looking at midflight and
seeing the flight attendant running down the aisle towards us,
towards the back of the plane. And if you've ever
seen a flight attendant running that, that evokes a certain
type of terror in you as an airline passenger. Current
airline passenger, like o f because usually they're so cool, right,
(18:37):
they're so calm and collected. And she's running and I'm like,
oh man, and she's fidgeting in the back galley with
something that's right behind us, and then she's running back
to the front of the plane. I'm like, what the
hell's going on? And her face was just you know, stressed,
just pure stress. And then there was a guy that
(18:59):
they have one of those little it's like a airline
wheelchair and they're wheeling them back. It's very tiny. I
don't know who fits in those things anymore. He was European,
he fit. But this guy, he was middle aged, I
would say, I don't know, fifty to fifty five. And
he's white as a as a ghost, white hair, and
(19:19):
he's got blood on his face and he just looks
like he's in shock or something. I don't it look
like a medical emergency when they say, that's exactly what
it looked like. And they bring him to the back
and again it's right behind us, this galley and it's
a very small galley, and they lay him down and
they're doing some sort of and I'm just like, oh
my god, this freaking guy dies, oh my gosh, of course,
making it about me. But they all of a sudden,
(19:42):
the plane takes a sharp left and descends real quick,
and the pilot comes out and he says, you know,
we're going to make an emergency landing. We've got a
medical emergency on board. And I just remember landing and
I saw no runway. I just saw a field of snow.
I just say, just snow, looking at the flight map
on the on the back seat monitor and somewhere in
(20:04):
rural Canada. No idea, no idea at all. But when
we landed, saw nothing but snow, and then an ambulance
that had rolled up, and the guy was taken using
that little airplane wheelchair through the aisle and off the flight.
You don't know if the guy ever lived or died.
You hope he lived, but for them to land a
(20:26):
plane like that and them not be dead is a situation.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Right.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Okay, We've got another story for you where plane passengers
were very upset over a couple's disrespectful PDA act. Some people,
they have their bugaboos when it comes to flying. Right,
you want an aisle seat, but sometimes you don't get
to choose who you're you're sitting next to. And unfortunately
(20:53):
for this girl who loves an aisle seat, she sat
next to a couple who, they say on TikTok took
PDA to a next level. It was a four hour
flight and apparently the woman is sitting on our male
partner's lap with her feet on her seat and she's
(21:14):
just kind of stretched with her back on his legs
kind of arched back up and he's just kind of
leaning over and you know, they're they're clearly in love.
And that's what people were responding to on TikTok, where
others were saying, this is unacceptable. This is a four
hour flight, Like, get your feet off the seat and
(21:34):
sit up, and why are you engaging in PDA. Other
people said everyone's hating, but I only see a couple
in love. She's getting comfy on the flight. She's a
tiny little girl, she's a tiny thing, tiny woman. And uh,
and she's just a lounge in her on her partner's lap.
There the feet, the feet are a problem. The feet
(21:55):
were kind of pointed at the other passenger who was
sitting in the aisles. I think that's where the problem was.
And then the massive swarm of bees. A flight in
India delayed for more than an hour after bees swarm
the door of the aircraft. And you can see a
picture of this before it took off. It's online obviously,
and it was set to make a quick flight in India,
(22:18):
but the baggage handlers were loading suitcases into the aircraft
all of a sudden, they say it was bombarded by
a biblical plague of stinging bees. And that's exactly what
it is. According to this, the entire door is covered
in bees. I don't know how. It's like candy Man.
You ever see that movie from the early nineties. It's
exactly what it is. It's candy Man on the door
(22:40):
of this plane. Now, how it left without incident and
how nobody got stung without incident, I do not know.
But it delayed the flight about an hour. All right,
when we come back, missed connections is back. Do you
ever have any sort of experience with miss connections. There's
always so much fun to talk about. They used to
be in on christ where you'd see somebody in a
(23:02):
grocery store or at a bus stop or I don't
know wherever you saw the person and you had a moment.
You had maybe a connection and then they're gone forever.
Where did they go? Well, that's when you turn to
miss connections and you post hoping that that person you
shared that connection that moment with will also wonder where
did you go? And then you'll meet and you'll live
(23:23):
in love forever. Well, it's back. We'll tell you where
you can find it when we come back.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
It's going to be a big day around here tomorrow.
I don't think I'm breaking news. I don't think this
is a secret. I do believe I can say that Tomorrow,
the sixteenth of July, will be Bill handles a thirty
second anniversary in Morning Drive on KFI. He'll be here
(23:57):
tomorrow and the decorations already underway. But yeah, Bill Handle's
thirty second anniversary in Morning Drive tomorrow morning, so that'll
be a special show. He'll probably be extra obnoxious tomorrow
as well. I don't know what extra obnoxious means for Handle,
but my money is on him being it. A couple
(24:18):
of notes here out of Hollywood, some things getting some
traction from Ladies of Hollywood. Jessica Biel is getting a
round of applause for saying that her physique, specifically in
the latest show on Amazon Prime, The Better Sister, Who's
a good watch, her and Elizabeth Banks have great chemistry.
(24:41):
She is saying that her physique, which is distracting at
times watching the show because it's so beautiful, is not sustainable,
that she was in peak physical form, and that her
diet and workout regimen to get to that level of
perfection is not sustainable. She's getting around of a pl
for people that are saying, like, finally, somebody's saying that
(25:03):
actresses and actors get into this peak shape for specific
roles and that it is not something that they can
continue with that is not sustainable. So she's getting around
applause for that. And even if she even if her
body and it always looks great, she always looks wonderful,
even if it's like in the same universe as what
(25:26):
she looked in that show, it would be perfect. So
I'm good for her, good for her genes as well,
and for all the hard work she must put in
on the regular Tory Spelling is also getting some gossip
traction today for something I first read about this morning.
She was talking about her ex and how he would
call her in bed her nine O two to zero
(25:50):
character's name, like while they were having sex. The two
are married, they share a bunch of kids, or they
were married. I think they have since divorce. We saw
her at the iHeart Music Awards a couple of years ago.
She is a tiny human. I had no idea. They're
all so very small when you see them in person.
It's wild because you think of them as larger than
(26:12):
life actors and actresses and movie stars, and you just
I think you think they're going to be bigger. They're
very small. But that's pretty wild. Right from what I
remember hearing in the tabloids about their relationship for years,
it was highly dysfunctional. So him calling her Donna while
they're having sex is not really out of the realm
of possibility. Okay, there was an article in The Guardian
(26:35):
today and it's about the popular Craigslist tradition of mix
connections seeing a revival. Where is it now? It's where
everybody else is readit in TikTok. This is all about
hoping a chance encounter turns into more. Here's an example.
Leila Rivera was at work when her boyfriend texted her.
(26:57):
The text read someone on Reddit is looking for you.
It was in the comments of a post on the
subreddit about Warped Tour. Attendees of the Punk rock and
Emo music festival would search for their misconnections. You know,
hookups you met on site. You want to see them again.
That's what miss connections are all about. And so she Leila,
(27:19):
checks it out and she could tell that, yeah, her
boyfriend was right. One of the messages was definitely addressed
to her. It said to Layla, and then two different
spellings of Leila, the short girl with the red top.
You tapped my shoulder and asked me to help you CrowdSurf,
he wrote. I picked you up, but no one around
(27:42):
me wanted to help you CrowdSurf, so awkwardly had to
put you back down. First, I'm sorry I couldn't help more.
And second, I thought you were cute even after I
saw you later, I was nervous to ask you for
your number or socials and he shared his Instagram handle.
There's a couple things that pop up, and just reading
this initial example. Number one, her boyfriend let her know
(28:05):
that she was a subject of a misconnection on Reddit.
Number two is that he's reminding her that no one
wanted to help her CrowdSurf, which is wildly embarrassing, Like,
why are we reliving that? Anyway, Leila is twenty nine.
(28:27):
She works in real estate, and she reached out to him.
She told him that she does have a boyfriend, but
she found his message sweet and they became friends over
DM and they've got plans to attend the same DC
stint of Warped tour together next year. If I'm that boyfriend,
I'm a little bit worried about it. But apparently this
is how young people do it, you know. I remember
when I was twenty four living in Seattle and I
(28:49):
was dating a guy and my Space was the thing.
This was before Facebook and my Space was a thing,
and he was on MySpace. I was not, and I
was a very seriousjournalists back then. I thought it was
very serious and very important and why would I be
on MySpace? But anyway, comical he was on MySpace and
was going to go out for coffee with a girl
(29:11):
that he met on MySpace, and I thought, what are
you doing? You know, she's this hot girl, and he's like,
just because we're together doesn't mean I'm not going to
meet new friends, and I thought, okay, all right, yeah,
but anyway, she had Laila. Back to Laila here she
says that I would love to meet up. She wrote
(29:33):
to him, I would love to meet up and maybe
try for you to catapult me up into the sky again.
I do have a boyfriend, but I'm glad we can
be friends. She did not grow up reading the Craigslists misconnections,
or even before then, the ones in the paper in
the back pages. Those were people who tried to read
(29:54):
strangers that they shared these fleeting moments with on the train,
in the grocery store or whatever. They were fun to watch, right,
They were fun to read through even if you had
no miss connections, and they were very popular, charmingly random
nature of city living and twenty ten, Craigslists estimated that
there were nearly eight thousand new ads posted to New
(30:16):
York City's miss Connections page a week. Here's an example.
We met at a barbecue and rock away. We locked
eyes for the longest time on eighty six. But then
social media dating apps certainly dulled the influence of the
miss Connections. But now a decade later, young people are
excited to play y two K and shoot their shot
(30:39):
on Reddit and TikTok. You can find them on Reddit
under mega threads. Those are where they're kind of popping up.
Subreddits for cities like Baltimore, Chicago, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Richmond, Virginia
have all joined in, and a special group are those
music festivals. They have their whole own subreddits for miss connections.
(31:02):
I'm looking for the beautiful woman with amazing eyes at Popeyes,
wrote one in Nova, Scotia. I wonder if it's someone
from Sullivan's Crossing in Arlington, Virginia. There is a guy
searching for a woman he met at a bar while
he was on a date with someone else. In Saint Louis,
someone visiting their father in a hospital, Chemo Ward saw
(31:22):
a stranger crying in the hallway and stopped to pray
with them, and that stranger is still in their thoughts.
I mean, I will watch this rom com, right, of
course you will. Yeah. Maggie Hurts is a DJ at WFMU,
and she says, you move to a big city and
are so filled with this hope for chance encounters and
(31:43):
magical moments at every turn. There's nothing more vulnerable than
writing a missed connection. Isn't that the truth? That's part
of the joy of reading through those all right, We
will talk trending when we come back. Oh and True
Crime Tuesday, Ride around the Bend, and so is the
history of the crunch Wrap Supreme. It's right here. You've
(32:05):
been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show. You can
always hear us live on KFI AM six forty nine
am to one pm every Monday through Friday, and anytime
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app tear and the skies is loaded.
We've got a dead passenger, We've got passengers getting handsy,
We've got yes, disrespectful PDA acts. Oh, and then the
very serious one that we're going to have to spend
(00:21):
some time on that Air India crash, the one that
was headed to London and just fell out of the sky.
They are now pointing towards Boeing inspections of Boeing fuel switches,
which affects us all as well, So we'll get into
that as well. Do you remember missed connections? And it
was like in the back page of the newspapers or
(00:45):
what did they call them, circulars or then it made
its way onto Craigslist where you'd see somebody at the
Ralphs and maybe you pass by each other when you're
looking at oranges and bananas and you think, hmm, I'd
like that, and maybe there's eye contact, there's a shared
mmm I'd like that vibe moment, and then one of
(01:05):
you jumps on Craigslist and says, hey, did I see
you at the Ralphs with the oranges and I had
the bananas or whatever, and then they connect and it's
a beautiful story that ends up in the La Times
Arts and Culture section when they get married. That is
coming back, despite the fact that there are no papers
(01:26):
and no Craigslist. Is there still Craigslist? There may still
be a Craigslist. But we'll tell you all about that
as well. In the meantime, we dive into Washington. I'm
a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar.
And when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah, we got The real problem is that our leaders
are done.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
The other side never quits, so.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Flaw, I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
So that now you train the Squaw, I can imagine
what can be and be unburdened by what has been.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
You know, Mrvans have always been going at.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Stupid. A political plunder is when a politician actually tells
the truth. Whether people voted for.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
You were not. Swamp Watch.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
They're all counter on swamp Watch. Brought to you by

Have you been diagnosed with plantrofasciitis. Visit the Good Feet
Store and learn how you can find relief without shots,
surgeries or medications. Well, Ukrainians seem unimpressed by Trump's fifty
day ultimatum to Putin. Putin has yet to respond, and
(02:31):
Trump is now saying and the people surrounding him that
this is in line with his America first tenant of
his administrations. People close to the president say he is
privately pessimistic about the war with Ukraine and Russia. He
(02:52):
ran on settling this thing right away. He believed that
he had a strong enough relationship with Putin and enough
leverage over or Zelenski and Ukraine that he could be
the one to make this deal. And it hasn't happened yet,
which has led to frustration, and also there's growing frustration
(03:12):
among his base. We talked about the turning point gen
Z Convention over the weekend. A lot of happiness, a
lot of victory laps for the young Maga world, but
a couple moments of tension. One of them was one
we tackled in the first Year, First Hour today. If
you want to hear it, go back and check out
the podcast, because we did a pretty deep dive into
the Jeffrey Epstein storm that is not going away, and
(03:36):
the Magabase holding tight to this hardlining. They don't want
child rape as hidden swept under the rug. I'm not
okay with that, not okay with people in power having
their names cleared because they're rich. Well. Another moment of
contention at the Young MAGA convention over the weekend was
Trump's willingness to continue to aid Ukraine whatever happened to America. First,
(04:01):
we don't want any part in this war was the message. Well,
yesterday the President responded by going further than he ever
has in helping Ukraine defend itself against Russia, green lighting
Europe's purchase of these Patriot missile defense systems and other
weapons for Ukraine. It's all about who signs the check, right,
(04:23):
that's the spin cycle. We make the weapons, Europe has them,
if they're handing them over to Ukraine, they're obsensively writing
the check to Ukraine, not US. But there are weapons now.
People close to the President say he doesn't believe Zelensky
holds the cards. You don't need to be close to
(04:43):
the president to understand that Trump doesn't make much of Zelenski.
They say the people close to him that Trump still
believes Moscow has the upper hand, but that his frustration
with Putin has grown and because of that he's more
willing to take part in this conflict that he insisted
he could settle quickly. That it's his annoyance with Putin
(05:05):
for not capitulating to Trump that is fueling his help
of Ukraine, which makes sense. The senior White House official
anonymously so said that the president's view is Russia is
going to win. It's a matter of how long it takes.
Russia has the bigger economy, the bigger military, has more
(05:25):
than enough bodies to throw into the meat grinder, and
just doesn't care. And that'll although they're making slow progress
or still making progress, because they don't care. It's ruthless. Now,
even as Trump wants to mount up the pressure on
Putin and he is kind of setting aside the isolationist
(05:47):
wing of the MAGA movement, he is insisting that this
aligns with America first and fits into the decades long
view that America has been ripped off by NATO by
allies and that they've gotten a free ride on defense.
He had an Oval Office meeting Trump did with NATO
Secretary General yesterday. We talked about a little bit earlier,
(06:08):
but he exaggerated how much money the US has already
spent on aid to Ukraine and emphasized that Europeans would
finally pay their fair share, that this weapons deal that
he made yesterday was all about Europe signing that check.
He said, We're not buying it, but we will manufacture
it because ours are the best weapons. Right, They're going
to be paying for it, he said. They feel very
(06:30):
strongly about it. We feel strongly about it too, but
we're in for a lot of money and we don't
want to do it anymore. So that's basically where his
comments are coming from when he says that this is
in line giving them weapons, well, having Europe pay for
them our weapons is in line with America First. Elbridge
(06:53):
Colby is the Pentagon's top policy official, and he doubled
down on this on X, saying, central to President Trump's
common sense America First, that message is that our alliances
have to be fair and equitable for them to be sustainable.
So this is essentially Trump with backup, giving a big
(07:14):
middle finger to putin well at the same time trying
to tell his base Maga that we're making Europe pay
for this help for Ukraine. It's very very next level
manipulation and I don't even know if it's a manipulation.
I think the spin cycle works there. But we'll see
what Putin has to say. He has not responded. Moscow
(07:37):
has said that they take the president's words very seriously
and that they will be responding. I wouldn't expect something
from Putin within the next oh, I don't know, forty
eight hours or so. I'm in the meantime. Coming up,
we've got tear in the skies. That Air India crash
is pointing to more problems with Boeing. What they're taking
a look at now involving fuel switches and some fun
(08:00):
tearing the skies as well. What do you think was
this couple's disrespectful PDA act? Like what reaches the threshold
of disrespectful on a plane when it comes to PDA.
We'll tell you what happened on this flight when we
come back.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
All right, we've got a faulty fuel switches, a dead passenger,
naked passenger, and a bunch of bees. It sounds like
tearing the skies to me. Bike you zero and I
or you're a glare data Roger, get off my plane,
Roger Rogers, what's our vector? Victor?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Enough is enough?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I haven't had it with these mufty.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Plank snakes on this money right, it's Gary and Shannon's
terror in the skies. On KFI, we.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Will start with the series Air India crash investigation and continues,
and now it's prompted inspections of Boeing fuel switches and
this is really terrifying stuff. Regulators there in India and
South Korea have ordered inspections of the fuel control switches
on Boeings. And I don't know why this is limited
(09:16):
to India and South Korea. It's the same Boeings. I mean,
shouldn't they all be checked out. There was a report
on this deadly Air India crash, the one that just
kind of fell out of the sky with that one
soul survivor. It showed that the fuel supply had been cut.
Indian investigators did not draw any final conclusions about the
(09:42):
cause or who was responsible for the crash of Flight
one seventy one back in June, but it did appear
to rule out mechanical failure or design flaws, and the
focus was narrowed to the fuel switches on the Boeing
seven eight seven Dreamliner. The most striking finding was that
(10:02):
the two fuel control switches had been switched off seconds
after takeoff. Now, each switch is equipped with a locking
mechanism to prevent any sort of accidental movement, so it
won't just switch off if the wind blows. Experts suggest
it was unlikely these switches were moved without human involvement.
(10:29):
They believe to take out double negatives there. The experts
believe there was a human involved with switching off the
fuel switch. The preliminary report said that Air India had
not carried out the suggested inspections because they were not
mandatory and that the FAA had not viewed the concerns
(10:51):
about the locking feature is serious enough to be considered unsafe. Again,
if the locking feature doesn't work, there's no way that
those which is, they're going to be moved anyway. They're
just too firmly set in whatever position they're in. Maybe
was the thinking, but the recommendation from the FAA back
(11:14):
in twenty eighteen recommended that carriers using these boeings look
at that locking mechanism so that they could not be moved.
That was in twenty eighteen, and then, like I said,
they did not do that because it wasn't a mandatory. Tay,
take a look at this. I kind of think when
it comes from the FAA, take a look at the
(11:35):
fuel switch, that should be mandatory. Pretty much everything on
the giant tins that fly us through the air at
thirty five thousand, I think it should all be mandatory.
And I obviously know not what I speak in terms
of aircraft or flying aircraft and what that would entail
probably impossible. Those pilots will tell you there's a lot
(11:59):
of holes in those place lanes that you don't even
know about. They're probably just fine in most cases. Singapore's
Civil Aviation Authority says it's working with airlines on the
inspections and they've checked out fuel switches. They've checked out
fuel switches that the inspection company it's called SCOOT there
(12:22):
in Singapore, that they have all looked in. Everything's functioning properly.
The preliminary report on the crash described a confused interaction
between the pilots about the interrupted fuel supply This goes
back to Nathan Fielders the rehearsal current season. His premise
on that HBO show if you haven't watched it, is
(12:44):
that a lot of these catastrophic crashes, and how could
they not be a lot of them can be traced
back by the communication or the lack thereof between pilots,
and a lot of that can be described by the
airline Industri's edict that if you've got problems, you don't
bring them up. You just sit in your problems. You
go to one counseling session, and the airline industry finds
(13:07):
out about it, you're grounded, probably for life. Just don't
deal with any of that. We don't deal in that
same with medical problems. They have no zero tolerance essentially
for any of that. And he also highlights how the
pilots and the co pilots often meet that day. They
don't interact. They may go to the pilot's room, but
(13:28):
they have their cup of coffee separately, no small talk.
So with this particular crash and the confused interaction between
the pilots, it apparently went like this. In the cockpit
voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the
other why he did Why did he cut off the fuel?
(13:52):
The other pilot responded that he did not do so.
About ten seconds later, the switches were turned back on,
but the the plane could not regain power quickly enough
to stop its descent. The report said there are no
recommended actions to the aircraft and engine manufacturers. This was
(14:13):
the plane, if you don't remember, crash into that dining
hall of the medical college before exploding. Two hundred and
sixty people killed in the crash. It looked like it
was it was taking off and all of a sudden
just failed to achieve any sort of elevation and crash
into that medical building. Nineteen people on the ground were
killed as well, and there was that one sole survivor.
I thought we would hear more about him in the
(14:35):
ensuing weeks and months. Is he just going to turn
up on Dancing with the Stars next year and we're
going to be like, who is that? All? That's right?
That was the guy that walked her away from that
plane crash. But troubling in that the cockpit interaction is troubling.
The fact that the fuel switches were not checked out
because it wasn't a mandatory thing to check out is troubling.
(14:58):
The fact that they say that they could not have
been moved without human involvement is troubling. Now, I don't
know where the fuel switches land on a plane like this,
Like are they inside? Are they on the outside of
the fuselage? How does it work? I have no idea,
but it seems like several problems we're at play there
(15:19):
all right. When we come back, we've got some lighter
tear in the sky is to get to We've got it? Well,
not this first one about the dead guy. Have you
ever been on a plane where someone died. I was
on a plane where I thought someone and I have
no idea the person may have died, but we had
to have an emergency landing in the frozen tundra of
Canada I think it was Canada, I don't know, and
(15:44):
let this guy off for medical attention. But it was terrifying.
Tell you about it. Also, we've got disrespectful PDA in
flight and the massive swarm of bees that affected a
flight recently as well.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
A, put something in your stomach, because we're going to
be talking about the history of the crunch rap Supreme
and the quest for crunch Rap supremacy that has ensued
since the original crunch Rep Supreme debuted twenty years ago.
Can you believe it only came into our lives in
(16:20):
two thousand and five. I feel like the crunch Rep
Supreme was a part of my childhood, but apparently it
only appeared in two thousand and five. But anyway, restaurant
after a restaurant has tried to duplicate the success, some
finding it, others not. It could be, as some would argue,
an unattainable goal to match the supremacy that is the
(16:42):
crunch Rap Supreme. But we continue a terror in the
skies and we have a death to talk about, guys.
A passenger died on a Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul
to San Francisco over the weekend, causing the flight to
divert to Chako. Unfortunately, there was a medical emergency on board.
(17:07):
Aircraft entered a holding pattern. Flight attendants administered CPR, consulted
medical personnel on the ground, and unfortunately the the passenger
did not make it. The cause of the medical emergency
was not disclosed. I had this happen well, I don't
know if the guy died and I'll never know. It's
(17:29):
just one of those things. But it was a flight. Gosh,
I don't even remember where we were coming from, somewhere
in Europe, headed back, and all of a sudden, look up,
we were in the last row of the of the aircraft,
right next to the bathrooms. Super super econ I like
(17:51):
to call it. It's super economy. When you're the last row,
your chair doesn't tilt back on an international flight. You
know you're on board for twelve hours, but you're chair
doesn't tilt back. We probably got those tickets for about
one hundred and fifty dollars apiece. I mean it was awful.
I mean you're just sitting there smelling the economy bathroom
the whole time. It was It was truly awful. I
think it was the last flight my husband booked, and
(18:14):
this was years ago, but anyway, we're back there and
all of a sudden, I remember looking at midflight and
seeing the flight attendant running down the aisle towards us,
towards the back of the plane. And if you've ever
seen a flight attendant running that, that evokes a certain
type of terror in you as an airline passenger. Current
airline passenger, like o f because usually they're so cool, right,
(18:37):
they're so calm and collected. And she's running and I'm like,
oh man, and she's fidgeting in the back galley with
something that's right behind us, and then she's running back
to the front of the plane. I'm like, what the
hell's going on? And her face was just you know, stressed,
just pure stress. And then there was a guy that
(18:59):
they have one of those little it's like a airline
wheelchair and they're wheeling them back. It's very tiny. I
don't know who fits in those things anymore. He was European,
he fit. But this guy, he was middle aged, I
would say, I don't know, fifty to fifty five. And
he's white as a as a ghost, white hair, and
(19:19):
he's got blood on his face and he just looks
like he's in shock or something. I don't it look
like a medical emergency when they say, that's exactly what
it looked like. And they bring him to the back
and again it's right behind us, this galley and it's
a very small galley, and they lay him down and
they're doing some sort of and I'm just like, oh
my god, this freaking guy dies, oh my gosh, of course,
making it about me. But they all of a sudden,
(19:42):
the plane takes a sharp left and descends real quick,
and the pilot comes out and he says, you know,
we're going to make an emergency landing. We've got a
medical emergency on board. And I just remember landing and
I saw no runway. I just saw a field of snow.
I just say, just snow, looking at the flight map
on the on the back seat monitor and somewhere in
(20:04):
rural Canada. No idea, no idea at all. But when
we landed, saw nothing but snow, and then an ambulance
that had rolled up, and the guy was taken using
that little airplane wheelchair through the aisle and off the flight.
You don't know if the guy ever lived or died.
You hope he lived, but for them to land a
(20:26):
plane like that and them not be dead is a situation.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Right.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Okay, We've got another story for you where plane passengers
were very upset over a couple's disrespectful PDA act. Some people,
they have their bugaboos when it comes to flying. Right,
you want an aisle seat, but sometimes you don't get
to choose who you're you're sitting next to. And unfortunately
(20:53):
for this girl who loves an aisle seat, she sat
next to a couple who, they say on TikTok took
PDA to a next level. It was a four hour
flight and apparently the woman is sitting on our male
partner's lap with her feet on her seat and she's
(21:14):
just kind of stretched with her back on his legs
kind of arched back up and he's just kind of
leaning over and you know, they're they're clearly in love.
And that's what people were responding to on TikTok, where
others were saying, this is unacceptable. This is a four
hour flight, Like, get your feet off the seat and
(21:34):
sit up, and why are you engaging in PDA. Other
people said everyone's hating, but I only see a couple
in love. She's getting comfy on the flight. She's a
tiny little girl, she's a tiny thing, tiny woman. And uh,
and she's just a lounge in her on her partner's lap.
There the feet, the feet are a problem. The feet
(21:55):
were kind of pointed at the other passenger who was
sitting in the aisles. I think that's where the problem was.
And then the massive swarm of bees. A flight in
India delayed for more than an hour after bees swarm
the door of the aircraft. And you can see a
picture of this before it took off. It's online obviously,
and it was set to make a quick flight in India,
(22:18):
but the baggage handlers were loading suitcases into the aircraft
all of a sudden, they say it was bombarded by
a biblical plague of stinging bees. And that's exactly what
it is. According to this, the entire door is covered
in bees. I don't know how. It's like candy Man.
You ever see that movie from the early nineties. It's
exactly what it is. It's candy Man on the door
(22:40):
of this plane. Now, how it left without incident and
how nobody got stung without incident, I do not know.
But it delayed the flight about an hour. All right,
when we come back, missed connections is back. Do you
ever have any sort of experience with miss connections. There's
always so much fun to talk about. They used to
be in on christ where you'd see somebody in a
(23:02):
grocery store or at a bus stop or I don't
know wherever you saw the person and you had a moment.
You had maybe a connection and then they're gone forever.
Where did they go? Well, that's when you turn to
miss connections and you post hoping that that person you
shared that connection that moment with will also wonder where
did you go? And then you'll meet and you'll live
(23:23):
in love forever. Well, it's back. We'll tell you where
you can find it when we come back.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
It's going to be a big day around here tomorrow.
I don't think I'm breaking news. I don't think this
is a secret. I do believe I can say that Tomorrow,
the sixteenth of July, will be Bill handles a thirty
second anniversary in Morning Drive on KFI. He'll be here
(23:57):
tomorrow and the decorations already underway. But yeah, Bill Handle's
thirty second anniversary in Morning Drive tomorrow morning, so that'll
be a special show. He'll probably be extra obnoxious tomorrow
as well. I don't know what extra obnoxious means for Handle,
but my money is on him being it. A couple
(24:18):
of notes here out of Hollywood, some things getting some
traction from Ladies of Hollywood. Jessica Biel is getting a
round of applause for saying that her physique, specifically in
the latest show on Amazon Prime, The Better Sister, Who's
a good watch, her and Elizabeth Banks have great chemistry.
(24:41):
She is saying that her physique, which is distracting at
times watching the show because it's so beautiful, is not sustainable,
that she was in peak physical form, and that her
diet and workout regimen to get to that level of
perfection is not sustainable. She's getting around of a pl
for people that are saying, like, finally, somebody's saying that
(25:03):
actresses and actors get into this peak shape for specific
roles and that it is not something that they can
continue with that is not sustainable. So she's getting around
applause for that. And even if she even if her
body and it always looks great, she always looks wonderful,
even if it's like in the same universe as what
(25:26):
she looked in that show, it would be perfect. So
I'm good for her, good for her genes as well,
and for all the hard work she must put in
on the regular Tory Spelling is also getting some gossip
traction today for something I first read about this morning.
She was talking about her ex and how he would
call her in bed her nine O two to zero
(25:50):
character's name, like while they were having sex. The two
are married, they share a bunch of kids, or they
were married. I think they have since divorce. We saw
her at the iHeart Music Awards a couple of years ago.
She is a tiny human. I had no idea. They're
all so very small when you see them in person.
It's wild because you think of them as larger than
(26:12):
life actors and actresses and movie stars, and you just
I think you think they're going to be bigger. They're
very small. But that's pretty wild. Right from what I
remember hearing in the tabloids about their relationship for years,
it was highly dysfunctional. So him calling her Donna while
they're having sex is not really out of the realm
of possibility. Okay, there was an article in The Guardian
(26:35):
today and it's about the popular Craigslist tradition of mix
connections seeing a revival. Where is it now? It's where
everybody else is readit in TikTok. This is all about
hoping a chance encounter turns into more. Here's an example.
Leila Rivera was at work when her boyfriend texted her.
(26:57):
The text read someone on Reddit is looking for you.
It was in the comments of a post on the
subreddit about Warped Tour. Attendees of the Punk rock and
Emo music festival would search for their misconnections. You know,
hookups you met on site. You want to see them again.
That's what miss connections are all about. And so she Leila,
(27:19):
checks it out and she could tell that, yeah, her
boyfriend was right. One of the messages was definitely addressed
to her. It said to Layla, and then two different
spellings of Leila, the short girl with the red top.
You tapped my shoulder and asked me to help you CrowdSurf,
he wrote. I picked you up, but no one around
(27:42):
me wanted to help you CrowdSurf, so awkwardly had to
put you back down. First, I'm sorry I couldn't help more.
And second, I thought you were cute even after I
saw you later, I was nervous to ask you for
your number or socials and he shared his Instagram handle.
There's a couple things that pop up, and just reading
this initial example. Number one, her boyfriend let her know
(28:05):
that she was a subject of a misconnection on Reddit.
Number two is that he's reminding her that no one
wanted to help her CrowdSurf, which is wildly embarrassing, Like,
why are we reliving that? Anyway, Leila is twenty nine.
(28:27):
She works in real estate, and she reached out to him.
She told him that she does have a boyfriend, but
she found his message sweet and they became friends over
DM and they've got plans to attend the same DC
stint of Warped tour together next year. If I'm that boyfriend,
I'm a little bit worried about it. But apparently this
is how young people do it, you know. I remember
when I was twenty four living in Seattle and I
(28:49):
was dating a guy and my Space was the thing.
This was before Facebook and my Space was a thing,
and he was on MySpace. I was not, and I
was a very seriousjournalists back then. I thought it was
very serious and very important and why would I be
on MySpace? But anyway, comical he was on MySpace and
was going to go out for coffee with a girl
(29:11):
that he met on MySpace, and I thought, what are
you doing? You know, she's this hot girl, and he's like,
just because we're together doesn't mean I'm not going to
