Gary and Shannon open the show celebrating the Dodgers’ latest win and looking ahead to a full slate of MLB action. Then it’s on to Washington, where the looming government shutdown has everyone pointing fingers. They break down the fallout from Secretary of War Hegseth’s big meeting with military brass, with Shannon praising the generals for staying quiet in the media frenzy, while veterans weigh in via talkbacks. Later, Shannon teases Whatcha Watchin’ Wednesday with her first impressions of the new show Girlfriend. The conversation shifts to hurricanes Humberto and Imelda, two storms swirling close enough to bring up the Fujiwara effect, which Gary can’t resist repeating just for fun. They wrap the hour with more listener reactions on Hegseth’s meeting and NASA’s eyebrow-raising idea to nuke an asteroid headed toward the moon.

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. Blake Snell pitched a beauty and
you know, it's nice that the Dodgers can rack up,
you know, ten runs.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
They're not going to be able to do that against
the Phillies.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
It was nice that they were able to rack up
ten runs because then when the bullpen came in and
went to the bathroom on the mound, did what they do.
There was enough insurance there in the bank. But like
I said, that, you're not going to be able to
do that. And I understand what they were doing, Dave
Roberts putting a bunch of guys in there that needed
a confidence boost, maybe work their way out of whatever
(00:43):
they're dealing with. That's not what happened. Enriquez, My goodness,
what a mess. I think Rick Monday said it best.
You know, you can pitch one hundred and three miles
per hour, you can pitch one hundred and twenty miles
per hour. It doesn't matter if you can't find the
strike zone. Could not find the strike zone to save
his life.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
But they won.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
They did win In fact, it was Detroit, Chicago, Boston
and LA were the winners in yesterday's games won game ones.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Of the wild Card Series.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
They'll all play again today, same times, so that Detroit
Cleveland is going to be the first game the Red's
Dodgers will be the last game.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
The Dodgers have Sasaki and she Han in the bullpen today,
so hopefully they'll be able to tie things up in
a nice little bow and move on.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Well, right after the game, of course, everybody was inundated
with headlines about the government being shut down or were
they not. This is one of those issues that we
as Americans deal with all the time. And whose fault
is it, Well, it kind of depends on who you ask.
If you ask Mike Johnson, for example, Speaker of the House,
it's probably the Democrats.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Democrats want to play political games with the lives and
the livelihoods of Americans.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
If you ask Chuck Schumer, the Senate Minority.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Leader, Republicans thought that they could barrel us into a
shutdown because they didn't want to protect the healthcare of
the American people.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Well now they've seen they can't bully us. Okay, John Thun,
Senate Majority.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Leader, and they have taken the American people hostage in
a way that they think benefits them politically, but at
the consequence, at the cost of what's going to happen
to the American families if this government shut down continues and.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Then one more Hakim Jeffries, the House Minority.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
Leader, Republicans have basically demonstrated zero interests in trying to
work out any differences from a policy perspective that we
may have because at the end of the day, they
want to shut the government down.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
So it's your fault. No, it's your face.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
It doesn't matter who's in the White House, who runs Congress,
it is always going to be the spin zone of
finger pointing. No matter what happens with the government shut down,
it's either the Democrat's fault or the Republican's fault.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Which is why they all take it.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Because when we first started being inundated with government shut
down talk, I want to say, it was like ten
fifteen years ago where you just come get away from it.
And what happened was the Congress approval rating went into
the toilet and then stayed there because people were fed
up with all y'all. It wasn't the common American blames
all of government for this kind of inefficiency.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
It's this is probably not the right analogy, but I
think it's akin to an accountant. If you are in
a position where you have an accountant, right, whether it's
personally or business wise, you have an accountant that handles
your books, you have a certain expectation of them doing
their job. And when we send people to Washington, DC,
(03:47):
we do it with this expectation that they are going
to do their job, among other things, keep the government running. Now,
there are some plans a couple of votes actually planned
in the Senate today which could begin the process of
breaking up this log jam. One vote one bill would
reopen the government as well as extending healthcare benefits. That
(04:08):
bill failed mostly along party lines, each of the other
times that it has come up for a vote, but
it's important to point out the second vote in this
series is a procedural vote on a what they call
a clean bill. This is a housebacked Republican bill that
is a stopgap fund. All it does is basically continue
what has been going on for the last couple of months,
(04:30):
continue it in for the next couple of weeks so
that there is more time for them to negotiate this. Now,
last night, when that quote clean bill went up in
the Senate, there were three Democrats that voted for it,
So all eyes are going to be on those Democrats. Now,
how much of an appetite do they have to actually
(04:50):
put a clean bill in allow them to negotiate these
other healthcare issues that they are talking about before they
can It's not going to happen.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
The Democrats this fight. They're the reason why this is happening.
Even the La Times is saying it. That's not me being,
you know, whatever you think I am. The Democrats pick
this fight because the Democrats hate everything that's going on
with Trump's second agenda, second term agenda, sure, and they're
not going to run away from any sort of fight
that is brought to them.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
And that's what this was.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
They are demanding funding for those healthcare subsidies that are
expiring for millions of people under the Affordable Care Act,
and that's going to raise the cost of insurance insurance
premiums everywhere across the country. The Republicans are not budging
on that, and the White House stands behind them. So
if that's going to be the mountain they die on
They're going to continue to die on it.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
It's going to be days, yeah, if not a few weeks.
I mean, the last time we saw this there was
a thirty two It was more than a month from
December of twenty eighteen through January of twenty nineteen. The
last time we saw a significant government shutdown that didn't
that was more than just.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
A day or two. So they will, they are talking
of it.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
We know that the President was unhappy with the way
things went yesterday at this meeting where they were supposed
to have congressional leaders there to hash out some of
their differences.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
And at this point we just don't know what's next.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
They have both agreed Democrats and Republicans to keep the
national parks open, which is what I care about, not
being a government employee or a member of the military,
or knowing anybody in my personal life that does either
one of those things. So selfishly, I'm happy they're keeping
the national parks open. They're going to look to the
states to fund that. They've been told you're staying open.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Welcome to Poopoo Town. Poopoo Town.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
You remember when they were talking about in Death Valley
the last time after the government shutdown was reversed and
actual people went back to work. I mean, they kept
the parks open, but had you know, minimally staffed.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
They said.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
In the days after the shutdown ended, park staff and
Death Valley found at least sixteen hundred and sixty five
clumps of toilet paper littering Death.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Let's try to avoid that. I'm also not running also
go to a vacation in Death Valley.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
This is also incumbent upon us, like, hey, let's take
care of the stuff that we have. You wouldn't You
wouldn't treat somebody else's house like this. Why are you
gonna leave clumps of toilet paper around Death Valley.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I think it's funny that they counted him.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
That's also an awful job. That's very true, Amy, That's
an excellent point.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
All right, more.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Reaction is coming into yesterday's big meeting of generals and admirals.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
As I predicted, the refrain of could have been an
email is up there with the reactions.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
We'd love to hear from you. If you were a
member of the military, current or former. Please remain anonymous
if you do wish, but let us know what you
thought of that was that an invigorating, reaffirming speech for
you or was it a waste of time?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
You know, I was trying to crystallize my thoughts on it,
you know, with Pete haig Seth, I know, member of
the military, but not on the same level as the
people that he summoned to Washington.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
It's just the way it is.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
And I was trying to figure out a good analogy,
and I kept coming back to this. I mean, Pete Haigseth,
he was in the military for a moment, he went
to Princeton, he's a TV guy, And my mind kept
settling on Tom Cruise versus the colonel in a few
good men. You know, you come here in your blankety
blank white uniform.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
That kind of deal.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
That's how as a somebody who's not in the military
looks at this, like, that's how it is digested in
my eyes of like, who are you to spend five
minutes in the military and come tell me how I'm
going to do things?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Regardless if you agree with him or not. It's hard
to take. Yeah, and we'll talk about that when we
come back.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
The government shutdown, of course continues. It's in twelve thirteenth
hour now, we'll see it go for a couple of
days likely, But the Senate is voting on a Republican
backed bill right now that would fund the government for
another seven weeks, giving them some time to negotiate some
of the other things they're working on.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
We do have a fat Bear week winner, and it
is an inspiring story.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yeah, isn't It's always nice to have the underdog, the
under underbear, underbear, underbear. I like that.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
We've also got a story about people who got veneers
during the pandemic about how they're now regretting that. I
know people with the with the fake teeth, and they
all look beautiful. I've never heard anyone say they regret this,
so I was kind of shocked to read this.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
What's the deal with those veneers? I don't those are real?
Those are real.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Let me see those Give me a smile. That's that's
as big of a smile as you can do. Yeah, oh,
have facial paralysis. We should dig into that. What part
of your smile?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
What about it? Do it for real? Do like a
big smile? I don't do big smiles on there that's
as close as I guess. Really. Yeah, you have good teeth.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I've never noticed because I never see them because you
don't smile.
Speaker 3 (10:09):

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Listen another hour from now.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Here's the thing when it comes to this speech before
the top brass of the military. If you are looking
for the military response to this, good luck. The military
has never made me prouder in this moment, well in
my lifetime, because they refuse to get into the mud
(11:12):
with everybody else in this country. They refuse to put
down a poll and say I stand on this mountain
with these people. They are as apolitical as it gets,
and God love them. I love that we've seen no
response one way or the other from the military top
brass in twenty twenty five, when everything is political, when
(11:34):
entertainers are political, athletes are political, everything has got a
bent to it. The military, thank god, is standing on
the tenet of the military of being a political Well.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
And think of especially those men that showed up in
that room yesterday have been in the military, most of them,
I assume, for decades, a couple decades, a few decades,
and have made this their military career.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
This is part of their life and who they are.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
And they know that they have had to take orders
from people of all different stripes over the last thirty
years of their career in the military.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
You know, it doesn't change their ability and their talent
for keeping the main thing. The main thing in that
they do their job regardless of who's shouting orders, if
they've had military service, if they have not, what the
orders are, if they agree with them or not, they
do their job. You know you're going to hear reactions
(12:31):
from Gavin Newsome or Lindsey Graham or whoever the talking
heads are going to be and they're going to paint
it whatever way is politically advantageous for them. But you're
not going to hear that from the military. And what
a refreshing thing.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Which is a I.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Mean, people can express displeasure outside people, how's that in
the military.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Let me try this.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Outside of the military can express displeasure with pete hegseth.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
They can say that this was a way of time.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
We can all, you know, give our two cents on
this because that's what that's where we live. I'm curious
about the difference between the Secretary of Defense literally that
position is meant to be a civilian in charge of
the administration of the war machine that is the American military.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
It would it have been different sin.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Secretaries have been decorated military officials. Yeah, but they're civilians
when they are secretary. Not to say that they don't
have experience in the military tests, but they are civilians.
The is it different if it were a and I
don't even know if it would even be possible. Would
it be different if it was the chairman of the
Joint chiefs of Staff, you know, the highest actual military
(13:46):
would be I mean, I think it would be different
if it was anyone with more experience. I mean, Pete
Haigseth is the most underqualified Secretary of Defense going back
to the Truman administration. That's just a fact in terms
of military experience. If that's what you're looking for in
the resume, he is the least prepared.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
We have heard from military members.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
We'll actually play for you some of these talkbacks we
get throughout the course of the show, because I'm curious, again,
active or former military, where do you come down on this?
You saw this, you saw the coverage of it. You
heard some of the comments, was this a worthwhile meeting?
And some of the more common comments that have come
in say basically like, hey, you're in the military, you
(14:30):
take orders, and this was an order for these generals
and amirals to show up, which of course they did.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Whether they liked it or not is of no consequence.
It doesn't matter. It's an order, right and they got
to do it. It's like the code read.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
But some of these people have been saying a lot
of times in the military, you get called into your
you know, your your unit is put together for just
one of these, just like any other business, just like
any other office, Right, You're put in there in a
meeting that could have easily been an email.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Everyone going to say that.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
And you know when I say, you're not hearing from
the military, You're not hearing from people in the room, right,
You're hearing from vague defense officials and the media who say, yeah,
it was more like a press conference briefing than than
more like a press conference than a briefing of the
generals that could have been an email. Other people saying that.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
That it was a security risk.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
You know, when you think about the Russian and the
Chinese officials, if you've got hundreds of American generals and
admirals together, what that's a dumb thing to do. But
these are all people, nameless defense officials that spoke to
Politico and and other These are people without a D
or an R next to the name. If you have
a big D or a big R next to your name,
(15:45):
I'm kind of throwing out your opinion on this because
you're going to say, what is ever, Like I said,
whatever is advantageous, You're going to rook.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
For your team via Hey, Gary and Shannon. I spent
twelve years in the Navy, enlisted the six that was
very disrespectful, disgusting meeting they had yesterday to say that
there are fat generals wandering the Pentagon is unbelievable. Some
of those generals are there because they love their country.
(16:12):
They have diabetes and heart problems. They're not there for
the pension anyway. I don't think it gets much worse.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
And again there was a lot of different opinions on this.
I believe that they were saying, when it comes to
who we're going to have in the military and serving
in the active military, you've got to be in shape
this whole like, whatever size or whatever shape or whatever
condition you're in, you're welcome. Everyone's welcome. It's like Santa Monica,
are you homeless, You're welcome whatever. I believe in Colonel
(16:45):
Jessup's words, if he wants, if they want to be fat,
I quite believe I've earned it. If you're if you've
been in the military for four decades and you're fat,
walk around the halls of Congress. Good for you, Good
for you. You have earned it. I don't think that
that's what the message was. I think it was we're
going to keep the troops that are going to fight,
that are going to fend this country in shape.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
And that's the way it's always been.
Speaker 8 (17:08):
Hey, Gary and Shannon James spraying here. I left a
little more colorful message for Shannon yesterday. But hey, when
you're in the military, when you're told by your senior
commanding officer to be somewhere, you're there. It's motivational. It
was always motivational, general or not. You gotta follow orders.
(17:28):
And you know what, because they follow orders, you get
to have the right all the rights that you have.
Just my two cents.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
That's a good point, right, I mean, well, that's the
that's what I'm saying. You get to do what you
want to do. And then Trump opened it with you
get to do what you want to do.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
And I listen, any criticism of that meeting yesterday is
not a criticism of the people who have served this country,
not at all. No again, and to his point one
thousand percent, the reason that we can even talk about
this meeting without rep cushions from the government is because
those people have given their time, effort, energy, lives, et
(18:05):
cetera for us to have the freedoms that we do have.
That's not that's not a not downplaying the service or
the sacrifice of the men and women in the military
at all. It's the civilian leadership that we're talking about
in terms of why would what was the motivation of
this meeting, Why would you do it? Why is it
putting the security issues, that money issues, all of that.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I think what it was was they wanted to be
super clear. Pete Haig Seth and Trump to the generals,
to the admirals, We've got your back. We understand in
the past, you know, eight years or whatever, four years
or what have you, that things have been rolled back.
You've had to put dei in H into the into
the ranks, and that is not keeping the main thing
(18:48):
the main thing. And we've got your back. You can
do the things you want to do. We're doing away
with all of that. We are going to have a
strong military. Uh. The fat general's line is fun to
talk about, but the whole gist of it is we're
going to be in shape.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
We're going to be a readied nation and readied military.
We are asking and we have your back.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
We get that you think that's all bs, and we've
got your back.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
We're going to help you kill people and break things right,
That's what we do best, but.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
The personalities weaved their way into it, and that's the
unfortunate part.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Gary Shannon will continue talking about hurricanes, the twin hurricanes
out in the Atlantic.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Right now, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
I couldn't figure out who that was. I still don't
know who it is. Grace Van Patten. Yeah, she's from
the I don't know. She's in things, she's in shows.
Is she an actual Van Patten or is that just
the name I don't know related to the the Dick
Van Patten and the other vaan pat I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
The Van Pattens.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
We are going to be talking about what you watch
in Wednesday, coming up in the.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Twelve o'clock hour. There was a show that.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I binged on a plane and it on Amazon. It
is with Robin Wright Penn, and I'll watch anything she's
in because I think she's spectacular. It's called The Girlfriend.
Robert Wright Penn actually directed this. I believe it's based
off of a book. You watch it and you're like,
this is a book, So I'm sure that's the case.
And it's about a woman who has very close to
(20:20):
her son she's a married woman very close to her
son and he gets a girlfriend and it's serious, and
the relationship dynamics between mother and the girlfriend is really
the basis, which is fascinating from a sociological perspective, I
think all the time. But also this is so cool
the way that they do this. They do different viewpoints,
(20:42):
the mother's viewpoint and the girlfriend's viewpoint, and what it
does shines a light on this truth that two people
can have an interaction together and walk away with very
different ideas of what happened in that interaction. And this
shines a light on that. And it's not that one
person right or the other person's wrong. It's that you
(21:04):
just have a different way of thinking. You have different
life experiences you bring to every interaction, and you have
different takeaways where you and I could have a conversation
and I walk away going, god, that was really great.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
That was so funny.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
You know, Gary was laughing, and you walk away going, oh,
she's such a bee, Like I had to uncomfortably laughed
at how much of.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
A bee she is to fake laugh.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
But how this happens, and it leads to so many
misunderstandings I think in life of when you think you
know how something went and it's completely different through the
other person's eyes.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Then I saw the tile for that, I mean I
saw the I think you'd like it, Yeah, because I
like her too.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
And it's beautifully shot. It's in London, it's in Spain.
The homes, the art, the beauty, the landscapes, it's all.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
It's very, very pleasing to watch.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Well, whatever you're watching, you can let us know on
the talk back feature on the app and we'll get
into it.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
At about twelve.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
Thirty, come on, Gary, you just missed a perfect opportunity.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
When she said smile more Darling, the only.
Speaker 9 (22:10):
Appropriate response at that point would have been I'll work
on it, Princess.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, you missed it. Man, did you guys keep up
the did work having a great time listen.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I was waiting for I teed it up and I
was waiting for a guess, Princess.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Is that what you closed your eyes and flinched a
little bit. Yeah, I thought it was coming all right.
My brother calls me that princess, uh huh?
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Really yeah, when he's wanting to be a real d Yeah, okay, princess.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
No to self, huh Okay, I'll have to remember that
Bermuda is currently under a hurricane warning. The core of
hurricane and Melda's wind and rain expected to make a
direct hit or slide just south.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Of the Bermuda Islands late today.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
That is, after Umberto brushed Bermuda yesterday. Emelda still a
Category one hurricane today, Sustain wins ninety miles an hour.
Storm is expected to pick up speed, probably category two
by the time it does cause impact in Bermuda. They
are still unusually close. These two hurricanes, Emelda and Umberto
(23:16):
about four hundred and fifty miles apart. That's one of
the ten closest pairs of Atlantic storms since we started
using satellites back in the sixties. Since since we saw
all of this begin Umberto has deteriorated a bit, but
it's still a category one hurricane. It was category five
and is starting to lose some of its expected to
(23:38):
lose its tropical status sometime today, combined with a front
that's coming in over the ocean. We don't know exactly
what kind of an impact this is going to have
on the Eastern Seaboard.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I mentioned the Fujiwara effect, which.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Is a thing I did not ever hear before you
love it, I love it.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
You can't have to say it, yeah do how do
you not? Like say on.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Jiwara puts this in the show. So every day like
these hurricanes will have come and gone and not have
their tropical status or whatever, and like next Thursday he'll
be like an update on the fuji Wara effect.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
They're still talking about Abarto and Helda. There were some
homes that actually fell into the ocean along the outer banks.
Five homes fell in Buxton just yesterday. According to the
Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Homes that collapsed were unoccupied, mostly
(24:33):
vacation homes in that area. Six other homes now brings
the total to eighteen that have collapsed during the last
five years because of the storms in that area. The
entire beachfront had been closed for safety reasons, obviously because
of the high high surf coming in based on Umberto
and Imelda that are churning out there in the Atlantic.
(24:55):
All right, speaking of fun things to talk about, what
about the the moon? Do we need to protect the
moon from an asteroid?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
If an asteroid is in fact on a collision course
with the Moon, what should we do?
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Should we nuke it.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Oh, it's an N word. That's probably not a joke.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
We should continue that the President made yesterday he said
there are two He was talking about a nuclear submarine
and he goes, there's two N words. We got to
stay away from something like that. And the audience was
just like.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Crickets, total crickets, but they crickets and everything.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Suh.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
John walking in. I was not going to Oscar because
that big rigs still there there without it there was
an accident on the one thirty four. It's literally right
outside the window for us. We can see the whole thing.
So I'm talking to Oscar and then I see John
walking down the hall and I go, what are you
doing here? It's so early? And he goes, why aren't
(26:03):
you in there? It's one o'clock. You've just been out
here talking the whole time. And I was like, what
am I having a stroke?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Until he got me. It was like a Twilight Zone
Good morning guys.
Speaker 10 (26:15):
On the Hegseeth meeting. I think the concept was very good.
I think it was a good idea. I don't really
think it needed to be televised, and you got to
keep in mind he had boots on the ground during
Afghanistan and what have you, so it's not like he's
been behind a desk all his life. He did see
active duty, so you got to give him some credit
for that. But I think it was a good idea,
(26:36):
just no television.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
I did give him credit for that.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
It's nowhere near the experience that every single butt in
every single seat in that room has.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
That's all I said. It's hard to take.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
I mean, imagine somebody who's been in your job for
five minutes coming in and telling you, after you've put
together an entire career, who becomes your boss and is
telling you how things are going to be. Now, I'm
not saying they're not agreeing with them. They're probably agree
with all of it, but it's still different. It hits different.
(27:11):
It hits different.
Speaker 9 (27:12):
After listening to the speech yesterday, me and my friends
were laughing, you are fellow former veterans, and the comic
consensus was every loved the speech, except for people were
in the Navy.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Every chance you get right, every chance take a shot
at one of the other branches.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
That's good, all right, So if an asteroid is on
a collision course with the Moon, what do we really
the only people or creatures that have any ability to
do anything about it?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Maybe? What do we do?
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Do we try to nudge this thing out of its
current path so it doesn't hit the Moon? Do we
try to blow it into tiny little smithereens with a
nuclear explosion?
Speaker 1 (27:58):
An asteroid known as for why Are four is estimated
to have a four percent chance of hitting the Moon
in twenty thirty two.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Now, if I did this was it last week? We've
done this before. We talked about the chances of it
hitting Earth. Originally they were concerned about hitting Earth and
then they redid that and said, okay, probably not going
to hit Earth. But now it like quadrupled the chance
from one percent to four percent chance of hitting the moon.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
So what would happen?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Well, a collision like that could produce debris up to
one thousand times above background levels over just a few days,
possibly threatening astronauts and spacecraft in low Earth orbit. To
avoid creating that potentially dangerous debris field, one option is
(28:45):
to nuke the asteroid before it reaches the Moon and
the es. We have talked about that this has never
been tested, despite the movie Armagedon. So the plan would
come with a bunch of major risks. So you got
to do a cost benefit analysis. Do you risk the
debris field versus nuking the thing and dealing with a
(29:06):
whole another set of risks that that would come with.
You're going to create a debris field anyway, no matter
what you do, Okay, So which one would be more dangerous?
And the initial debris field or the one if you
do nothing may not ever happen, So you'll have a
(29:27):
certain debris field or a maybe there will be brefield.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
The uh, this reminds me of it. Just the threat
to potentially to astronauts that are in orbit reminds me
of gravity. The George Clooney Sandra Bullock movie.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
I felt like that one was so unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
I believed Bruce Willis and the oil riggers before I
believe Sandra Bullock and George Clooney.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Okay, well, I'm saying just that there was maybe not
the relationships that.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I'm sorry I got so angry, but.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I'm just saying that there was space debris that ran
into their space shuttle or whatever they do.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Yeah, and they died, not all of them. You need
to watch the movie. I'm not gonna give it on
one of them does.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Yeah, clearly early You're not even long enough to get
to get connected to that actor.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Spoiler alert. But they're all called actors now, Oh they are. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Women can drive, they can vote, they've been given shoes,
and they can leave the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Where does this happen? Isn't that nuts? It's crazy times?
Hold on, my mind is blood? My mind is an asteroid.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
The key characteristics aren't known. They don't know how big
it is, or they don't know it's mass. Is probably
the better way to put it. That would be figuring
be critical and figuring out how to disrupt it without
creating more and more problems. They have tested the theory
before the first of its kind test a few years ago,
(31:08):
the Dart probe intentionally crashed into a small space rock
known as dimorphous to alter its trajectory. It was done
about seven million miles away from Earth, and it did
in fact change the path in space, shortening the orbit
by thirty three minutes. Successful deflection would also require knowing
the mass of the asteroid, and we simply do not
(31:31):
know that. As of yet, so we got a ways
to go before we can start blowing moon asteroids out
of orbit.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Questions still surround the remains of the missing teen girl
found in the trunk of the Tesla registered to a
singer in Hollywood. We've got now an ex boyfriend talking
about life at home for Celeste Reevas, of course, reported
missing when she was thirteen fourteen years old. We now
know a little bit more about what went on behind
closed doors. We'll talk about that when we come back.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
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. Blake Snell pitched a beauty and
you know, it's nice that the Dodgers can rack up,
you know, ten runs.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
They're not going to be able to do that against
the Phillies.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
It was nice that they were able to rack up
ten runs because then when the bullpen came in and
went to the bathroom on the mound, did what they do.
There was enough insurance there in the bank. But like
I said, that, you're not going to be able to
do that. And I understand what they were doing, Dave
Roberts putting a bunch of guys in there that needed
a confidence boost, maybe work their way out of whatever
(00:43):
they're dealing with. That's not what happened. Enriquez, My goodness,
what a mess. I think Rick Monday said it best.
You know, you can pitch one hundred and three miles
per hour, you can pitch one hundred and twenty miles
per hour. It doesn't matter if you can't find the
strike zone. Could not find the strike zone to save
his life.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
But they won.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
They did win In fact, it was Detroit, Chicago, Boston
and LA were the winners in yesterday's games won game ones.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Of the wild Card Series.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
They'll all play again today, same times, so that Detroit
Cleveland is going to be the first game the Red's
Dodgers will be the last game.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
The Dodgers have Sasaki and she Han in the bullpen today,
so hopefully they'll be able to tie things up in
a nice little bow and move on.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Well, right after the game, of course, everybody was inundated
with headlines about the government being shut down or were
they not. This is one of those issues that we
as Americans deal with all the time. And whose fault
is it, Well, it kind of depends on who you ask.
If you ask Mike Johnson, for example, Speaker of the House,
it's probably the Democrats.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Democrats want to play political games with the lives and
the livelihoods of Americans.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
If you ask Chuck Schumer, the Senate Minority.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Leader, Republicans thought that they could barrel us into a
shutdown because they didn't want to protect the healthcare of
the American people.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Well now they've seen they can't bully us. Okay, John Thun,
Senate Majority.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Leader, and they have taken the American people hostage in
a way that they think benefits them politically, but at
the consequence, at the cost of what's going to happen
to the American families if this government shut down continues and.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Then one more Hakim Jeffries, the House Minority.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
Leader, Republicans have basically demonstrated zero interests in trying to
work out any differences from a policy perspective that we
may have because at the end of the day, they
want to shut the government down.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
So it's your fault. No, it's your face.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
It doesn't matter who's in the White House, who runs Congress,
it is always going to be the spin zone of
finger pointing. No matter what happens with the government shut down,
it's either the Democrat's fault or the Republican's fault.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Which is why they all take it.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Because when we first started being inundated with government shut
down talk, I want to say, it was like ten
fifteen years ago where you just come get away from it.
And what happened was the Congress approval rating went into
the toilet and then stayed there because people were fed
up with all y'all. It wasn't the common American blames
all of government for this kind of inefficiency.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
It's this is probably not the right analogy, but I
think it's akin to an accountant. If you are in
a position where you have an accountant, right, whether it's
personally or business wise, you have an accountant that handles
your books, you have a certain expectation of them doing
their job. And when we send people to Washington, DC,
(03:47):
we do it with this expectation that they are going
to do their job, among other things, keep the government running. Now,
there are some plans a couple of votes actually planned
in the Senate today which could begin the process of
breaking up this log jam. One vote one bill would
reopen the government as well as extending healthcare benefits. That
(04:08):
bill failed mostly along party lines, each of the other
times that it has come up for a vote, but
it's important to point out the second vote in this
series is a procedural vote on a what they call
a clean bill. This is a housebacked Republican bill that
is a stopgap fund. All it does is basically continue
what has been going on for the last couple of months,
(04:30):
continue it in for the next couple of weeks so
that there is more time for them to negotiate this. Now,
last night, when that quote clean bill went up in
the Senate, there were three Democrats that voted for it,
So all eyes are going to be on those Democrats. Now,
how much of an appetite do they have to actually
(04:50):
put a clean bill in allow them to negotiate these
other healthcare issues that they are talking about before they
can It's not going to happen.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
The Democrats this fight. They're the reason why this is happening.
Even the La Times is saying it. That's not me being,
you know, whatever you think I am. The Democrats pick
this fight because the Democrats hate everything that's going on
with Trump's second agenda, second term agenda, sure, and they're
not going to run away from any sort of fight
that is brought to them.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
And that's what this was.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
They are demanding funding for those healthcare subsidies that are
expiring for millions of people under the Affordable Care Act,
and that's going to raise the cost of insurance insurance
premiums everywhere across the country. The Republicans are not budging
on that, and the White House stands behind them. So
if that's going to be the mountain they die on
They're going to continue to die on it.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
It's going to be days, yeah, if not a few weeks.
I mean, the last time we saw this there was
a thirty two It was more than a month from
December of twenty eighteen through January of twenty nineteen. The
last time we saw a significant government shutdown that didn't
that was more than just.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
A day or two. So they will, they are talking
of it.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
We know that the President was unhappy with the way
things went yesterday at this meeting where they were supposed
to have congressional leaders there to hash out some of
their differences.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
And at this point we just don't know what's next.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
They have both agreed Democrats and Republicans to keep the
national parks open, which is what I care about, not
being a government employee or a member of the military,
or knowing anybody in my personal life that does either
one of those things. So selfishly, I'm happy they're keeping
the national parks open. They're going to look to the
states to fund that. They've been told you're staying open.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Welcome to Poopoo Town. Poopoo Town.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
You remember when they were talking about in Death Valley
the last time after the government shutdown was reversed and
actual people went back to work. I mean, they kept
the parks open, but had you know, minimally staffed.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
They said.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
In the days after the shutdown ended, park staff and
Death Valley found at least sixteen hundred and sixty five
clumps of toilet paper littering Death.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Let's try to avoid that. I'm also not running also
go to a vacation in Death Valley.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
This is also incumbent upon us, like, hey, let's take
care of the stuff that we have. You wouldn't You
wouldn't treat somebody else's house like this. Why are you
gonna leave clumps of toilet paper around Death Valley.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I think it's funny that they counted him.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
That's also an awful job. That's very true, Amy, That's
an excellent point.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
All right, more.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Reaction is coming into yesterday's big meeting of generals and admirals.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
As I predicted, the refrain of could have been an
email is up there with the reactions.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
We'd love to hear from you. If you were a
member of the military, current or former. Please remain anonymous
if you do wish, but let us know what you
thought of that was that an invigorating, reaffirming speech for
you or was it a waste of time?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
You know, I was trying to crystallize my thoughts on it,
you know, with Pete haig Seth, I know, member of
the military, but not on the same level as the
people that he summoned to Washington.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
It's just the way it is.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
And I was trying to figure out a good analogy,
and I kept coming back to this. I mean, Pete Haigseth,
he was in the military for a moment, he went
to Princeton, he's a TV guy, And my mind kept
settling on Tom Cruise versus the colonel in a few
good men. You know, you come here in your blankety
blank white uniform.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
That kind of deal.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
That's how as a somebody who's not in the military
looks at this, like, that's how it is digested in
my eyes of like, who are you to spend five
minutes in the military and come tell me how I'm
going to do things?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Regardless if you agree with him or not. It's hard
to take. Yeah, and we'll talk about that when we
come back.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
The government shutdown, of course continues. It's in twelve thirteenth
hour now, we'll see it go for a couple of
days likely, But the Senate is voting on a Republican
backed bill right now that would fund the government for
another seven weeks, giving them some time to negotiate some
of the other things they're working on.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
We do have a fat Bear week winner, and it
is an inspiring story.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yeah, isn't It's always nice to have the underdog, the
under underbear, underbear, underbear. I like that.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
We've also got a story about people who got veneers
during the pandemic about how they're now regretting that. I
know people with the with the fake teeth, and they
all look beautiful. I've never heard anyone say they regret this,
so I was kind of shocked to read this.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
What's the deal with those veneers? I don't those are real?
Those are real.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Let me see those Give me a smile. That's that's
as big of a smile as you can do. Yeah, oh,
have facial paralysis. We should dig into that. What part
of your smile?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
What about it? Do it for real? Do like a
big smile? I don't do big smiles on there that's
as close as I guess. Really. Yeah, you have good teeth.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I've never noticed because I never see them because you
don't smile.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Wow, smile more, darling. We have a chance for you

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Listen another hour from now.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Here's the thing when it comes to this speech before
the top brass of the military. If you are looking
for the military response to this, good luck. The military
has never made me prouder in this moment, well in
my lifetime, because they refuse to get into the mud
(11:12):
with everybody else in this country. They refuse to put
down a poll and say I stand on this mountain
with these people. They are as apolitical as it gets,
and God love them. I love that we've seen no
response one way or the other from the military top
brass in twenty twenty five, when everything is political, when
(11:34):
entertainers are political, athletes are political, everything has got a
bent to it. The military, thank god, is standing on
the tenet of the military of being a political Well.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
And think of especially those men that showed up in
that room yesterday have been in the military, most of them,
I assume, for decades, a couple decades, a few decades,
and have made this their military career.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
This is part of their life and who they are.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
And they know that they have had to take orders
from people of all different stripes over the last thirty
years of their career in the military.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
You know, it doesn't change their ability and their talent
for keeping the main thing. The main thing in that
they do their job regardless of who's shouting orders, if
they've had military service, if they have not, what the
orders are, if they agree with them or not, they
do their job. You know you're going to hear reactions
(12:31):
from Gavin Newsome or Lindsey Graham or whoever the talking
heads are going to be and they're going to paint
it whatever way is politically advantageous for them. But you're
not going to hear that from the military. And what
a refreshing thing.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Which is a I.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Mean, people can express displeasure outside people, how's that in
the military.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Let me try this.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Outside of the military can express displeasure with pete hegseth.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
They can say that this was a way of time.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
We can all, you know, give our two cents on
this because that's what that's where we live. I'm curious
about the difference between the Secretary of Defense literally that
position is meant to be a civilian in charge of
the administration of the war machine that is the American military.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
It would it have been different sin.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Secretaries have been decorated military officials. Yeah, but they're civilians
when they are secretary. Not to say that they don't
have experience in the military tests, but they are civilians.
The is it different if it were a and I
don't even know if it would even be possible. Would
it be different if it was the chairman of the
Joint chiefs of Staff, you know, the highest actual military
(13:46):
would be I mean, I think it would be different
if it was anyone with more experience. I mean, Pete
Haigseth is the most underqualified Secretary of Defense going back
to the Truman administration. That's just a fact in terms
of military experience. If that's what you're looking for in
the resume, he is the least prepared.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
We have heard from military members.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
We'll actually play for you some of these talkbacks we
get throughout the course of the show, because I'm curious, again,
active or former military, where do you come down on this?
You saw this, you saw the coverage of it. You
heard some of the comments, was this a worthwhile meeting?
And some of the more common comments that have come
in say basically like, hey, you're in the military, you
(14:30):
take orders, and this was an order for these generals
and amirals to show up, which of course they did.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Whether they liked it or not is of no consequence.
It doesn't matter. It's an order, right and they got
to do it. It's like the code read.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
But some of these people have been saying a lot
of times in the military, you get called into your
you know, your your unit is put together for just
one of these, just like any other business, just like
any other office, Right, You're put in there in a
meeting that could have easily been an email.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Everyone going to say that.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
And you know when I say, you're not hearing from
the military, You're not hearing from people in the room, right,
You're hearing from vague defense officials and the media who say, yeah,
it was more like a press conference briefing than than
more like a press conference than a briefing of the
generals that could have been an email. Other people saying that.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
That it was a security risk.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
You know, when you think about the Russian and the
Chinese officials, if you've got hundreds of American generals and
admirals together, what that's a dumb thing to do. But
these are all people, nameless defense officials that spoke to
Politico and and other These are people without a D
or an R next to the name. If you have
a big D or a big R next to your name,
(15:45):
I'm kind of throwing out your opinion on this because
you're going to say, what is ever, Like I said,
whatever is advantageous, You're going to rook.
Speaker 7 (15:51):
For your team via Hey, Gary and Shannon. I spent
twelve years in the Navy, enlisted the six that was
very disrespectful, disgusting meeting they had yesterday to say that
there are fat generals wandering the Pentagon is unbelievable. Some
of those generals are there because they love their country.
(16:12):
They have diabetes and heart problems. They're not there for
the pension anyway. I don't think it gets much worse.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
And again there was a lot of different opinions on this.
I believe that they were saying, when it comes to
who we're going to have in the military and serving
in the active military, you've got to be in shape
this whole like, whatever size or whatever shape or whatever
condition you're in, you're welcome. Everyone's welcome. It's like Santa Monica,
are you homeless, You're welcome whatever. I believe in Colonel
(16:45):
Jessup's words, if he wants, if they want to be fat,
I quite believe I've earned it. If you're if you've
been in the military for four decades and you're fat,
walk around the halls of Congress. Good for you, Good
for you. You have earned it. I don't think that
that's what the message was. I think it was we're
going to keep the troops that are going to fight,
that are going to fend this country in shape.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
And that's the way it's always been.
Speaker 8 (17:08):
Hey, Gary and Shannon James spraying here. I left a
little more colorful message for Shannon yesterday. But hey, when
you're in the military, when you're told by your senior
commanding officer to be somewhere, you're there. It's motivational. It
was always motivational, general or not. You gotta follow orders.
(17:28):
And you know what, because they follow orders, you get
to have the right all the rights that you have.
Just my two cents.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
That's a good point, right, I mean, well, that's the
that's what I'm saying. You get to do what you
want to do. And then Trump opened it with you
get to do what you want to do.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
And I listen, any criticism of that meeting yesterday is
not a criticism of the people who have served this country,
not at all. No again, and to his point one
thousand percent, the reason that we can even talk about
this meeting without rep cushions from the government is because
those people have given their time, effort, energy, lives, et
(18:05):
cetera for us to have the freedoms that we do have.
That's not that's not a not downplaying the service or
the sacrifice of the men and women in the military
at all. It's the civilian leadership that we're talking about
in terms of why would what was the motivation of
this meeting, Why would you do it? Why is it
putting the security issues, that money issues, all of that.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I think what it was was they wanted to be
super clear. Pete Haig Seth and Trump to the generals,
to the admirals, We've got your back. We understand in
the past, you know, eight years or whatever, four years
or what have you, that things have been rolled back.
You've had to put dei in H into the into
the ranks, and that is not keeping the main thing
(18:48):
the main thing. And we've got your back. You can
do the things you want to do. We're doing away
with all of that. We are going to have a
strong military. Uh. The fat general's line is fun to
talk about, but the whole gist of it is we're
going to be in shape.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
We're going to be a readied nation and readied military.
We are asking and we have your back.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
We get that you think that's all bs, and we've
got your back.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
We're going to help you kill people and break things right,
That's what we do best, but.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
The personalities weaved their way into it, and that's the
unfortunate part.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Gary Shannon will continue talking about hurricanes, the twin hurricanes
out in the Atlantic.
Speaker 5 (19:21):
Right now, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
I couldn't figure out who that was. I still don't
know who it is. Grace Van Patten. Yeah, she's from
the I don't know. She's in things, she's in shows.
Is she an actual Van Patten or is that just
the name I don't know related to the the Dick
Van Patten and the other vaan pat I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
The Van Pattens.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
We are going to be talking about what you watch
in Wednesday, coming up in the.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Twelve o'clock hour. There was a show that.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
I binged on a plane and it on Amazon. It
is with Robin Wright Penn, and I'll watch anything she's
in because I think she's spectacular. It's called The Girlfriend.
Robert Wright Penn actually directed this. I believe it's based
off of a book. You watch it and you're like,
this is a book, So I'm sure that's the case.
And it's about a woman who has very close to
(20:20):
her son she's a married woman very close to her
son and he gets a girlfriend and it's serious, and
the relationship dynamics between mother and the girlfriend is really
the basis, which is fascinating from a sociological perspective, I
think all the time. But also this is so cool
the way that they do this. They do different viewpoints,
(20:42):
the mother's viewpoint and the girlfriend's viewpoint, and what it
does shines a light on this truth that two people
can have an interaction together and walk away with very
different ideas of what happened in that interaction. And this
shines a light on that. And it's not that one
person right or the other person's wrong. It's that you
(21:04):
just have a different way of thinking. You have different
life experiences you bring to every interaction, and you have
different takeaways where you and I could have a conversation
and I walk away going, god, that was really great.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
That was so funny.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
You know, Gary was laughing, and you walk away going, oh,
she's such a bee, Like I had to uncomfortably laughed
at how much of.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
A bee she is to fake laugh.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
But how this happens, and it leads to so many
misunderstandings I think in life of when you think you
know how something went and it's completely different through the
other person's eyes.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Then I saw the tile for that, I mean I
saw the I think you'd like it, Yeah, because I
like her too.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
And it's beautifully shot. It's in London, it's in Spain.
The homes, the art, the beauty, the landscapes, it's all.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
It's very, very pleasing to watch.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Well, whatever you're watching, you can let us know on
the talk back feature on the app and we'll get
into it.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
At about twelve.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
Thirty, come on, Gary, you just missed a perfect opportunity.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
When she said smile more Darling, the only.
Speaker 9 (22:10):
Appropriate response at that point would have been I'll work
on it, Princess.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, you missed it. Man, did you guys keep up
the did work having a great time listen.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I was waiting for I teed it up and I
was waiting for a guess, Princess.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Is that what you closed your eyes and flinched a
little bit. Yeah, I thought it was coming all right.
My brother calls me that princess, uh huh?
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Really yeah, when he's wanting to be a real d Yeah, okay, princess.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
No to self, huh Okay, I'll have to remember that
Bermuda is currently under a hurricane warning. The core of
hurricane and Melda's wind and rain expected to make a
direct hit or slide just south.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Of the Bermuda Islands late today.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
That is, after Umberto brushed Bermuda yesterday. Emelda still a
Category one hurricane today, Sustain wins ninety miles an hour.
Storm is expected to pick up speed, probably category two
by the time it does cause impact in Bermuda. They
are still unusually close. These two hurricanes, Emelda and Umberto
(23:16):
about four hundred and fifty miles apart. That's one of
the ten closest pairs of Atlantic storms since we started
using satellites back in the sixties. Since since we saw
all of this begin Umberto has deteriorated a bit, but
it's still a category one hurricane. It was category five
and is starting to lose some of its expected to
(23:38):
lose its tropical status sometime today, combined with a front
that's coming in over the ocean. We don't know exactly
what kind of an impact this is going to have
on the Eastern Seaboard.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I mentioned the Fujiwara effect, which.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Is a thing I did not ever hear before you
love it, I love it.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
You can't have to say it, yeah do how do
you not? Like say on.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Jiwara puts this in the show. So every day like
these hurricanes will have come and gone and not have
their tropical status or whatever, and like next Thursday he'll
be like an update on the fuji Wara effect.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
They're still talking about Abarto and Helda. There were some
homes that actually fell into the ocean along the outer banks.
Five homes fell in Buxton just yesterday. According to the
Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Homes that collapsed were unoccupied, mostly
(24:33):
vacation homes in that area. Six other homes now brings
the total to eighteen that have collapsed during the last
five years because of the storms in that area. The
entire beachfront had been closed for safety reasons, obviously because
of the high high surf coming in based on Umberto
and Imelda that are churning out there in the Atlantic.
(24:55):
All right, speaking of fun things to talk about, what
about the the moon? Do we need to protect the
moon from an asteroid?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
If an asteroid is in fact on a collision course
with the Moon, what should we do?
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Should we nuke it.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Oh, it's an N word. That's probably not a joke.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
We should continue that the President made yesterday he said
there are two He was talking about a nuclear submarine
and he goes, there's two N words. We got to
stay away from something like that. And the audience was
just like.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Crickets, total crickets, but they crickets and everything.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Suh.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
John walking in. I was not going to Oscar because
that big rigs still there there without it there was
an accident on the one thirty four. It's literally right
outside the window for us. We can see the whole thing.
So I'm talking to Oscar and then I see John
walking down the hall and I go, what are you
doing here? It's so early? And he goes, why aren't
(26:03):
you in there? It's one o'clock. You've just been out
here talking the whole time. And I was like, what
am I having a stroke?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Until he got me. It was like a Twilight Zone
Good morning guys.
Speaker 10 (26:15):
On the Hegseeth meeting. I think the concept was very good.
I think it was a good idea. I don't really
think it needed to be televised, and you got to
keep in mind he had boots on the ground during
Afghanistan and what have you, so it's not like he's
been behind a desk all his life. He did see
active duty, so you got to give him some credit
for that. But I think it was a good idea,
(26:36):
just no television.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
I did give him credit for that.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
It's nowhere near the experience that every single butt in
every single seat in that room has.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
That's all I said. It's hard to take.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
I mean, imagine somebody who's been in your job for
five minutes coming in and telling you, after you've put
together an entire career, who becomes your boss and is
telling you how things are going to be. Now, I'm
not saying they're not agreeing with them. They're probably agree
with all of it, but it's still different. It hits different.
(27:11):
It hits different.
Speaker 9 (27:12):
After listening to the speech yesterday, me and my friends
were laughing, you are fellow former veterans, and the comic
consensus was every loved the speech, except for people were
in the Navy.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Every chance you get right, every chance take a shot
at one of the other branches.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
That's good, all right, So if an asteroid is on
a collision course with the Moon, what do we really
the only people or creatures that have any ability to
do anything about it?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Maybe? What do we do?
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Do we try to nudge this thing out of its
current path so it doesn't hit the Moon? Do we
try to blow it into tiny little smithereens with a
nuclear explosion?
Speaker 1 (27:58):
An asteroid known as for why Are four is estimated
to have a four percent chance of hitting the Moon
in twenty thirty two.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Now, if I did this was it last week? We've
done this before. We talked about the chances of it
hitting Earth. Originally they were concerned about hitting Earth and
then they redid that and said, okay, probably not going
to hit Earth. But now it like quadrupled the chance
from one percent to four percent chance of hitting the moon.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
So what would happen?
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Well, a collision like that could produce debris up to
one thousand times above background levels over just a few days,
possibly threatening astronauts and spacecraft in low Earth orbit. To
avoid creating that potentially dangerous debris field, one option is
(28:45):
to nuke the asteroid before it reaches the Moon and
the es. We have talked about that this has never
been tested, despite the movie Armagedon. So the plan would
come with a bunch of major risks. So you got
to do a cost benefit analysis. Do you risk the
debris field versus nuking the thing and dealing with a
(29:06):
whole another set of risks that that would come with.
You're going to create a debris field anyway, no matter
what you do, Okay, So which one would be more dangerous?
And the initial debris field or the one if you
do nothing may not ever happen, So you'll have a
(29:27):
certain debris field or a maybe there will be brefield.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
The uh, this reminds me of it. Just the threat
to potentially to astronauts that are in orbit reminds me
of gravity. The George Clooney Sandra Bullock movie.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
I felt like that one was so unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
I believed Bruce Willis and the oil riggers before I
believe Sandra Bullock and George Clooney.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Okay, well, I'm saying just that there was maybe not
the relationships that.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I'm sorry I got so angry, but.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
I'm just saying that there was space debris that ran
into their space shuttle or whatever they do.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Yeah, and they died, not all of them. You need
to watch the movie. I'm not gonna give it on
one of them does.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Yeah, clearly early You're not even long enough to get
to get connected to that actor.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Spoiler alert. But they're all called actors now, Oh they are. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Women can drive, they can vote, they've been given shoes,
and they can leave the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Where does this happen? Isn't that nuts? It's crazy times?
Hold on, my mind is blood? My mind is an asteroid.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
The key characteristics aren't known. They don't know how big
it is, or they don't know it's mass. Is probably
the better way to put it. That would be figuring
be critical and figuring out how to disrupt it without
creating more and more problems. They have tested the theory
before the first of its kind test a few years ago,
(31:08):
the Dart probe intentionally crashed into a small space rock
known as dimorphous to alter its trajectory. It was done
about seven million miles away from Earth, and it did
in fact change the path in space, shortening the orbit
by thirty three minutes. Successful deflection would also require knowing
the mass of the asteroid, and we simply do not
(31:31):
know that. As of yet, so we got a ways
to go before we can start blowing moon asteroids out
of orbit.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Questions still surround the remains of the missing teen girl
found in the trunk of the Tesla registered to a
singer in Hollywood. We've got now an ex boyfriend talking
about life at home for Celeste Reevas, of course, reported
missing when she was thirteen fourteen years old. We now
know a little bit more about what went on behind
closed doors. We'll talk about that when we come back.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
