Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Stories that we're following. Of course, the weather rolling in
today is going to cause some problems tonight and tomorrow
for the Rose Parade. They said that most of the
most of the rain is expected to be gone by
the time the football game kicks off tomorrow afternoon, but
rainfall totals expected to range from about three quarters of
an inch to two and a half inches in some
(00:31):
of the coastal valley areas as much as five and
a half inches in some of the Foothill Mountain communities.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
So remember how we had that surprise for you on
Christmas Eve, Well it is New Year's Eve and we've
got another surprise for you this hour. That's all I'll say,
other than we may get the fire department called on us,
but that's all I'll say.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Now, onto many.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Therapy horses, therapy horses to me do great work. This
would be the therapy I would raise my hand for
a more I.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Think you can make the argument more so than more
common animals like dogs or cats, oh as therapyanals, because
there was a there's a spies element that comes with it,
and there's a bond, and a bond go on with
the bond. Well, that's what we have a guest for Victoria,
not boy. You're gonna have to explain your name Victoria
(01:23):
because I didn't Butcher say it for me once and
I'll remember it forever.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Okay, it's Victoria, notive net to now that I was.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Close to, and I apologize. So, but Victoria, where did you?
Where in the world do you start in the world
of Many Therapy Horses.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well, first of all, thank you so much Scary and
Shannon for the invitation to be on. We're so excited
to share a little bit about our mission with Many
Therapy Horses, nonprofit charity we started. I was always a
rider and competitor in a sport called drissage.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
But but not on many horses.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
No.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
But I thought, eventually I'm going to have one of
those little mini horses as a pet.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Okay, And I got my first horse, Pearl, who you
will see in the Rose Parade. She's seventeen and a
half now, and I was so inspired by her and
by with my horse. Now I was being able to
train her to do so many different things. I thought
it would be a fantastic way to give back to community,
(02:39):
sharing my love of horses and wanting to help people
in different ways. So that's how it started. One foot
in front of the other, and I thought where would
I like to go first, And the first thing that
came to my mind was visiting veterans, So that's where
I started.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
What have you witnessed? I imagine it is very rewarding
the work that you do. What have you witnessed? When
it comes to how people respond to the miniature horses,
You know.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It's so incredible how they respond to the horses. It
doesn't matter what age, from the teeniest of kids to
our oldest veterans. There's something about the horses that Gary
you mentioned that's a little different than other animal species
(03:32):
that just immediately like puts the clutch in, it creates
an emotional shift and they're so surprised by these teeny
little angel horses and just want to hug them and
love on them. And the horses are super highly trained,
I have to admit, and there just they love, they
(03:57):
feel the adoration from people and they give it back
act so they're very used to all situations and of
people reacting to them in different ways, and it's just magical.
And our teams are volunteers and I we just it's
so rewarding. It never gets sold. It never gets sold.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I was going to say this is you're getting a
lot of coverage this year, obviously because of the work
that you've been able to do this year, but the
mini therapy horses, they've been in the Rose Parade for
years now.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yes, we've been very blessed to have been in the
Rose Parade several years. It's actually our seventh year, not
our eighth years, our seventh year, and it's such an
incredible celebration to be able to be a part of
this year. As you know, we're going to have rain,
(04:54):
so we might have pottows on our horses and I
don't know, it depends how hard, but we go rain
or shine, and we'll be walking with our little girls.
They're all little mayors, they're all girls, and strutting our
stuff down yeah Colorado Avenue and showing off our little
(05:19):
therapy horses.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Have you noticed any changes in behavior before or during
or after the parade that it makes it obvious that
the horses know that it's a special occasion day.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Oh even in prepping them and getting their blinged out
little vests they wear ready and fitting them with their ribbons,
they get excited too because they can feel our excitement
and they know and they have ribbons on it's a
whole other it's a whole other game, so they definitely
(05:55):
know they're doing something special. We just did a class
best and my horn Pearl, who actually went viral waking
up a child out of anesthesia by playing her keyboard.
All her horses play little keyboards and four of them
will play. I hope we'll be playing their keyboards in
the Rose Parade, will be bringing them. But it's just
(06:22):
they love being part of the Rose Parade. And Pearl
is our biggest show off and she tends to stand
and walk on her own and she loves a big
to do, so she'll be showing off for everyone.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
That is just incredible. I love this. I love the
the anecdotes of the stories that especially you walk into
a base camp at a wildfire or something like that
and people come out of their trailers because the horses
have arrived, and everybody it's just such a there's such
a weird a special b I think between humans and horses,
(07:03):
and I mean we can hear it in your voice
and can't wait to see your little girls walking through
the parade tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Thank you so much. We're so excited about sharing them.
And really, they touch people's hearts on so many levels.
At the Veterans Hospital, we actually go in the lockdown
psychiatric word where they have a huge impact with patients
that might be non verbal or have so many multi
(07:31):
layers of issues, and it helps them so much in
organizing their thoughts and letting them feel their emotions with
touching and being able to maybe say something to someone
else about the horse or their doctors. It's just there.
It's incredible the way they touch people. So it's hard
(07:55):
to get that across in the parade, but that's what
they do on a daily basis. We have nine, all
nine of my horses will be walking in the parade
with our wonderful volunteers.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Very cool.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
We'll get to say that we know we okay, we
get these Victoria in her horses, all right, Thank you, Victoria,
appreciate your time.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Okay Low lights, highlights. I'm going to try to fit
two of these in lowlight. Being an Angels fan, it
is tortuous.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Highlight.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
The Eagles won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
Go Birds, low light.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
In April, I was hospitalized with COVID for a week,
never been hospitalized in my life.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Highlight.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
Because of that, I stopped smoking, and December twentieth was
eight months without a sigret. Happy New Year's you guys.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Congratulations.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
That is hard.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
That is a hard thing to do, quitting smoking, My god.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
Okay, low lights highlights.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I already heard from her, not that I don't want
to celebrate it again, but good morning, Happy New Year
to you both, you too.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Let's go Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
That was, without question the highlight. Yeah, twenty twenty five,
What a forty.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Season, What a fun season.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Speaking of the Angels. By the way, Anthony Rendon is gone.
Tommy two Bags or Tony two bags whatever they called him.
He ye. His thirty eight million dollars salary for this
next season will be deferred for three to five years,
so they're going to continue to pay him. The exact
timetable still unclear, but he paid. He played two hundred
(09:31):
and fifty seven games with the Angels two hundred and
fifty seven. He was paid two hundred and forty five million,
so he made almost a million dollars per game that
he played.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Sometimes you get a good deal, sometimes you.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Got a great hit. Yeah. Adva LaVey is a woman
we've talked a bit about before because she was targeting
very rich people. For that.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
She had a reputation as this glamorous jet setting model,
exotic background. She posted in TikTok videos, Instagram post posts.
Sheare like running the mill influencer right, She had podcast listeners.
She said that she was from Israel. She was in
(10:20):
bikini contest. She said she was a former member of
the Israeli Defense Forces. It was a facade that she
created on social media. Luxury cars, private jets, getaways in Vegas.
But this woman was all phony. Baloney is really what
it was. And she wasn't just scamming men, she was
(10:42):
scamming women. There was a woman who told her story
named Amber. Amber is in a lingerie model and she
was offered by this woman, this influencer, a sun filled
hotel stay on Abiza in Spain, and she thought this
was really nice of her. In sweet and my gosh,
(11:03):
this is going to be a lot of fun. This
is the life, like the influencers invite me to Abisa
and I go, and this is so cool. So it
didn't take long for Amber to wonder whether this woman
may have an ulterior motive for inviting her along. When
Amber arrives at the hotel, staff tells her the room
wasn't paid for, so she had to shell up shell
(11:24):
out about twenty four hundred dollars to check in. Then
when the influencer shows up at the hotel, she was
being trailed by a taxi driver who demanded to be paid.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
The influencer claimed that her AMEX card wasn't working in
Europe and that the airport money exchange was closed so
that Amber would have to pay the cab fare.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
But after that, she said it was just horrible. Ava
the influencer had convinced her to stay out all night
for days in an effort to attract older men and
get them to pay for meals and transportation, and then
when when the men weren't paying attention, she would take
and snap photos of their credit cards.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Amber says, I thought this was a girl's trip used
to make content, but the whole trip was just using
me to attract this woman's next victims. All she wanted
to do was hunt for rich, older men. This all
came to light back in October. The Sheriff's Department had
issued a special bulletin with adve Levi's photo and physical
(12:24):
description and encourage people to come forward and talk to detectives.
She'd been supposedly using dating apps and social media platforms
to target men around the country to steal their crap,
and after posing as a girlfriend or a companion, she'd
roll in and take stuff out of their homes, especially
their credit cards, among other things. The DA did file
(12:47):
charges against her at the beginning of November. She has
turned herself in and since then she is wearing an
electronic monitor in home detention. A bunch of different criminal
charges extortion, grand theft, first degree burglary with special circumstance,
with special circumstances of committing a violent crime against a
vulnerable person. It wasn't just elderly men, it evolved to
(13:11):
basically anyone. She had an opportunity to steal from male
female businesses whatever the They said she had very chaotic energy,
that she would disarm girls by calling them babe, and beautiful,
lying and saying that they were twin flames, love bombing everybody.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Essentially.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Megan is a model who alleges this woman try to
access her bank accounts after she borrowed her phone at
an event.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I guess you know I have a hard time. I
don't mean this as a fifty two year old man,
but I don't. I don't navigate my phone as quickly
as some people do, and I know where everything is
on my phone. Imagine if someone grabs your phone and
is able to manipulate it so quickly that they can
get your bank information in what would appear to be
(14:06):
or during the time, in what would appear to be
a normal phone.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Happens all the time. It happens all the time. Why
would you let anyone borrow your phone? Because your phone
contains so much It's not a phone, that is not
a phone that is your whole life. That's not And
that sounds sad empathetic, but it's true. There's so much
information on what you call your phone. It's like handing
over everything, your private life, your public life, your financial life, everything.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
One of the girls that was taken advantage of, Eden Lynne,
discovered the two of her credit cards and four hundred
bucks in cash were missing. After the podcast that she
had recorded called Banks, reached out to a couple of
girls I'd made friends with on the podcast and asked,
is your stuff missing too? Eden then started getting charges
(14:57):
on her Platinum Amex from a salon and Beverly Hills.
She calls up the salon and asks who's been making
the appointments and they said they did a FaceTime consultation
for hair extensions with a woman named Mia Ventura, which
is one of the pseudonyms that was used by this
aideva lobby.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I'm glad you got to that part of the story
because I just wanted to say one thing while you're
trying to weigh what your new Year's resolution is going
to be and things, I just want you don't need that,
You don't need hair extensions, your hairs. Just find the
way it is. You're beautiful just the way you are.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Are you trying to get me to say the same thing?
Are you mirroring?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
No, I'm letting you know for you that you're finding
the way that God intended.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Thank you, You're welcome. Okay, So go my hair cut
next week. As a matter of fact, okay, unacceptable totally.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
We were talking about things in the old year twenty
twenty five to kind of flush. Michael Monks came in
here and said, he said, I don't know if this
can fit into your show, but we need to do
a cleansing, and I said, sign me up. Deborah Mark
has brought in some Deborah Mark esque cleansing materials, materials.
(16:11):
Michael is going to officiate this cleanse. I believe it's
kind of like on a Christmas Eve when we had carollers,
but this time it's an impromptu cleansing.
Speaker 8 (16:21):
Yeah, he was actually going to come to my house
and he still might, you know, to do like a
really really really strong cleansing, but I said I need.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
It before the before the new year.
Speaker 8 (16:31):
So he said, okay, bring some in and yeah, that's
how it went down.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
What I'm hearing is you don't want Michael Monks in
your house and.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
So got it.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Were you ever.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
One of the bad kids in school where you'd kind
of like, you know, bring along one of the kids
that wasn't so bad, and like, I get that feeling, right,
now like I'm into this, and Gary.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Is like, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Are we get the fire department called? Are we gonna
get in trouble? And I'm like, who cares? Nobody's here,
nobody's at the school we're here, principal is not here.
We don't even have a principal. The halls are empty.
Let's uh, let's have some fun. Is anybody even listening?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
No?
Speaker 7 (17:25):
Yes, I mean your fans are. Yes.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Some people. Why are you pointing to me? I'm not listening.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
There are some unfortunate souls at a doctor's office right now,
where the physician keeps KFI.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I think that we ruined that doctor's office thing. A
long time ago. I had a friend tell me that
she works in a dentist office and that they used
to play KFI. That our show used to play. It
no longer is played. They switched And this was a
few years ago. So I don't know what we did,
if it was too many balls, jokes or what, but
(17:59):
that got it made.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Hey, But that's what we're here to fix. Which part
of all of it?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
All of it.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Put your shirt back on you. Sorry, it's not that
kind of party.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
It's getting hot in here, very rarely do we have
four people in the same room A lot.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
All right, Look, I want to practice this half by
saying I know nothing of the dark arts. I'm a
white kid from the northern Kentucky suburbs of Cincinnati, but
I believe in the power of positivity and intention, and
the way that I stay grounded in those lines of
thinking is through burning incense and sage. I've got a
(18:37):
few crystals. Now does that mean I think that weird
spirits move through the universe. I don't know, but it
makes me feel centered and thinking about good things coming
in my life. Other people may have other ways of
doing that. Yeah, this worked for me and pulled me
out of the darkness.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I love this.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Out of the slums of downtown LA to a beautiful
apartment in the slums of downtown LA. Okay, I'm living
proof that this can work.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I'm a big believer in staying open and staying a
learner to always come at things from a beginning standpoint
in your head like a beginner's mind, always here to learn,
always here to learn new things. Even if you're as
old as Gary is, you still can learn.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Hey wait a.
Speaker 8 (19:21):
Minute, I know I'm older. I know I am older
than Gary.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
No, you're not.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I am. Don't be. I don't think you are. I am.
Write down a number.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
No, I'm older than you.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
I know how you old you are, and I know
how old I am.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
And I'm not going to say.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
How old am I is?
Speaker 7 (19:37):
What I was going to say, you fifty or fifty three?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Okay, yeah, right on the cuspretail.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
We don't need to talk about age at this moment.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
In fact, when you think about your age, it's appropriate
to feel nostalgic or even a little sad about time
that has passed and things that you used to do
that you don't do anymore.
Speaker 7 (19:56):
I did too.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
But what you have to think of now is where
are you right now at this point in your life.
You have great kids, right, You have great kids. Both
of your kids are doing you know, both of your
sets of children are doing great, and you're doing great professionally.
That's what I mean about. Just like, wait a second,
I wouldn't be able to do when I was twenty three.
What I wouldn't do to have as much money as
(20:17):
I have in my pocket?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Right?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
And if you just start stretching more, you do all
that stuff feeling good?
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Yeah, yeah, that's right, just stretch.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
That's all.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
Where's my crystal that you took from?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
That?
Speaker 7 (20:28):
One's very important?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Do you accusatory tone? He's gonna f this up, Deborah. Okay, now,
if you want me to do the magic, you sit
there and wait.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
I'm so sorry, Michael.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Mom, it's father Michael.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
As long as you don't call me Aunt Deborah again.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Boy, we call her Aunt Deborah lovingly. Back in the newsroom.
She has big ant energy. Yeah, okay, Deborah, I don't
know how much you want to reveal about your life.
You've talked about some things, but you've.
Speaker 7 (20:57):
You No, it hasn't.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
My dad's had two brain surgeries and last night his
pseudo wife had to call nine one one paramedic showed up.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
You stopped breathing. So he's not doing very well today.
It's been a very.
Speaker 8 (21:09):
Very bad year regarding health stuff for my.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Dad, and Deborah's had to shoulder the whole thing. Yeah,
she's the point person. She's well, my brother has been involved.
I have to I have to say, I can't take
I can't take all the credit. But I'm a very
emotional person and it's it's really affected.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
She brings it in you know like we see it's okay.
We're here for you too, we're your work family. But
she brings it in. You can see it. She's exasperated,
she's hostage, sad, she's tired, and a little annoying.
Speaker 8 (21:38):
Thank you didn't need to say that's not annoying.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
I say that with love, Aunt Deborah. But I've suggested
to her, was like I was able to find some
real you will in a moment because there's a part
to this where you will leave.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
Well, I also have to do that.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Exactly, So I've set it up this way. So stop
with the.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
You can't I can't force the energy.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
I can't tell the spirits when to come into this studio.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
They have agents, they've probably decided to leave.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
They have the whole team downstairs. They're over Warner Brothers
right now, A days of our lives set cleaning that up. Okay,
what we're gonna do today is take the crystal that
you brought in and use the manifestation that it is
designed to bring to you. Now, there will be a
break because you've got to do the news. But while
you're doing the news, we're going to light the flame
(22:28):
at that point so that when you return.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
This is when Gary gets it, it will be.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
As smoky as a lesbian bar in South Pasadena in
nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Why did we have to bring the lesbians into it?
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Okay, okay, As you sit here today and thinking of
ways to remind yourself to be happy and positive, think
of the little signs for me. They come in patterns.
It's four forty four, I see it on the clock.
Oh nice, it's eleven eleven. You know that's a very
common make fifty five. Yeah, those types of things. Today,
(23:01):
Michelle Cube, our executive producer, handed me this little piece
of paper and said, hey, I found this for you.
It's a little square, glossy piece of white. What do
you see on the.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
On that heart?
Speaker 4 (23:13):
It's it's in the heart shape. Isn't a sweet gesture
for Michelle? Okay, it's a heart.
Speaker 7 (23:17):
I didn't get with that.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
But this is the type of negativity that you have
got to release. It's not a contest, it's an experience.
I was trying to yell it out of you. And
you brought in a crystal today that is orange. Yes,
in what shaped?
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Deborah?
Speaker 7 (23:33):
Oh that Oh that just gave me chills. It's a heart. Oh,
that's so bizarre. That is bizarre.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
And what is the name of our company? Shannon Farren?
I Heart, I heeart. We're in the iHeart studio. This
You didn't think about this crystal as being a heart
and wanted in. Michelle didn't think I was going to
be doing a seance in the main studio, which she
had to meet this piece of paper, do.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Me a favorite. Take off your pants and turn around me.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Do you see I see a herd tattoo? But there's
a snake through it.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
That's no snake. Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Okay, before we go to break, what we're gonna do
in the next segment is we're gonna burn some stage
and we're gonna do some manifestation technique so that we
can release the bad energy of this year and open
ourselves up for the good energy of next year. Now
this crystal you brought in again, I'm not an expert
on this. I play in the dark arts. I try
to identify it through just some pictures online, and I
(24:29):
think I've landed on three possibilities.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Wait, is this your card six of Clubs? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (24:36):
No, oh, I thought we were down. Stop interrupting the class,
all right, and put your shirt back on again.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
It's just really warm in here.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
It could be an orange adventurine crystal, which is what
I think it is. Why don't we come back to them?
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Okay, I can't wait.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
It could be the Carnelian crystal for fertility, and we
could cleanse and charge Carnelian by holding it before a
lit candle in order to enhance your passion, your libido,
your potency, your love, your harmony, your dream therapy.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
And I don't think.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Deborah needs sex stuff right now. She needs like healing.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
From We don't think.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
We don't think it's the sex one.
Speaker 9 (25:14):
No, No, it could be specar Tight, the special type,
which I think was the name of that bar in
South Pastina in the early nineties were close to break
the special tighte garnet for passion, which could also improve
your luck, your libido, your fertility, your creativity.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Therey non sex stuff there.

Yeah, go ahead, We're gonna like this flame for you, Deborah.
We're gonna have good intentions, all three of us.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Yeah, I've got some. It's important to remember that there
are never mind what they are children listening that nobody
in the dentist I was going to be the giant
fund sponge, and I refuse to do that. I'm going
to end this year on a on a happier here together,
it's gonna be fine.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Don Martin was the only one who got mad when
we set fires in the building. And he's not here,
although I had a dream about him last night. Maybe
this is why I didn't even know we were setting fires.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Now, who needs to put their shirt back on? Indeed?
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Here?
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Why?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Gary? Hang on?
Speaker 8 (26:15):
You know my my computer.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Just gonna be quick. Good.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
I want both of you to think something positive right now,
and I want you to direct that energy into this
cup of water.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I brought it. Okay, I'm positive about Deborah.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Just take it. Take it to yourself.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Oh god, guys, there're such tweets to myself. What is
my positivity directed.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Towards this cup of water? Don't make me point to
it again.
Speaker 8 (26:39):
I'm good, Gary, now, excellent, positive that while Debora does
the news, we'll put positivity in this water.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
The New Spider Wall song Closure Michael Monks is here
and the sage is late. Michael Monks.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Somebody on Instagram Live says, you are hilarious.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Bless you.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
We have lit the sage. Were not a priest, bro.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
We have lit the sage and this healing, cleansing smoke
is filling this air. Deborah, this is for you. We
will all benefit from being in the presence of this,
but this is for Deborah and our insurance. I want
you to think, Deborah, about two zero two six.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Two zero. That's the year you people?
Speaker 8 (27:34):
Oh god, oh my god, shat it good?
Speaker 7 (27:42):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (27:42):
I never heard it said like that twenty twenty six.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
Okay, that would have been made more sense.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Add those numbers together two plus zero plus two plus
six and now to yourself or out loud if you
want to share them with the audiences and all of
you listening at home. We're in the car, we're in
the doctor's office. Ten things I think we should put
(28:10):
it you want for next year?
Speaker 2 (28:11):
I think that fire alarm is going to go off.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
It's not that smoking.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Hey, I can smell it.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
You were at that Crystal Gem bar in South Pasadena, and.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
There also they didn't pay attention to the fire it
also disabled the fire smoked.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Don't worry, We're okay.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Do you have your thoughts? No, let me say what
like that?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Just saw?
Speaker 4 (28:30):
What's the first thing you want?
Speaker 7 (28:32):
I want my dad to get better.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
But now you can't project it onto someone else. So
think about that in the context of you. You want
relief from this situation.
Speaker 8 (28:45):
Yes, I want relief from this situation.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
You want calm.
Speaker 7 (28:53):
I want calm.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
You want happiness.
Speaker 7 (28:57):
I want happiness.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
You want success.
Speaker 7 (29:02):
I want success.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
You want love.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
I want love.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
You want clarity.
Speaker 7 (29:08):
I want clarity.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
You want wisdom.
Speaker 7 (29:11):
I want wisdom.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
You want willpower.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
I want will power.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
Let's think about these once, and let's breathe them in
and breathe them out towards the water. This water, the
water that we're all touched with our positivity. I call
(29:40):
on the power of this fertility crystal and this cleansing air.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
No, it's not for sorry, don't make that for pregnant.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
We call on the power of manifestation given to us
by this divine crystal and the air now cleansed by
this divine stage. We wash twenty twenty five from Deborah's
physical being, and as we wait for twenty twenty six
to rive. We inject Deborah's spirit with positive thoughts and
(30:18):
experiences rooted in the intentional wants of clarity, relief, love, happiness.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
You can throw money in there too.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Yeah, wisdom will power, and we remind Deborah that all
of that power lies in her. Deborah, when you wake
up in the morning and your feet hit the ground
for the first time, say thank you because you are alive. Okay,
breathe the air, and your first thought should just be
(30:53):
I'm breathing, and then take five minutes to yourself and
enjoy the silence before you open a screen. I mean,
if you have to poop, go ahead and poop, but
take five minutes you know in your little box that's necessary.
And then you're consulting and take that and start your
(31:18):
day with those intentions. And I would urge you to
have a book with blank pages and a beautiful pen
that you love writing it, and have these crystals nearby
and write the date, write your location, and write what
you're thankful for.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Every morning, every day.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
If you can't do it in the morning, do it tonight.
If you miss a day, give yourself forgiveness for that.
Don't worry about it. You'll get to it. You need
to remain in a place of gratitude in what you have,
and when you do that, you will have more.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
I want you to say, I understand, Father Michael.
Speaker 8 (31:56):
Okay, I understand, Father Michael. Gary's not buying into this.
Speaker 7 (31:59):
Does that mean that all this stuff is.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Curry is a Protestant? Okay, he's got his own problem.
Speaker 8 (32:05):
Okay, So this isn't going to affect me then, right,
his negativity isn't going to lead into me.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Will you let it?
Speaker 4 (32:10):
I'm are you empowered by the divine crystal?
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Am? Can we put the fire out?
Speaker 4 (32:16):
The fire's out? The fire only burns in depth.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Did you smoke it? Try to smoke it? Let's see
what happens.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Oh, man, you know where I am right now? Told
you South Pasadena, nineteen ninety three. Melissa Ethridge on the jukebox,
Billiards balls, window.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Clapping, clapping, Okay, goodbye, let's can we hit the Oh

Speaker 8 (32:41):
But then I gotta go in there to do the
new is Deborah?
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Bring me that holy water with you to hold the
holy water?
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Somebody on hold the holy water?
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Yeah, and hold it and remember your thoughts. Relief relief, clarity, clarity, love, happiness.
Speaker 8 (32:57):
Happiness, success, success.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Wisdom, will power, will power. Think about twenty twenty six
being the best year of your life.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
I hope you're right.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
I'm going to put this stage into that water with
this crystal. Oh is it okay?
Speaker 1 (33:11):

Speaker 8 (33:54):
Thank you, Michael. I really hope that things get better

Speaker 2 (33:57):
And I'll owe you.
Speaker 7 (33:59):
I'll owe you a lie gratitude.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
Indeed, there is no death, though it's all for you.

Would you do me a favor? Would you kick that
door open when you leave? You want to air this
place out a bar with you. I'd want to breathe
this in for a while. No, because you two are dark.
We are not dark.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
You're dark. Because next all I need is next time
we're gonna pull the demons out of you guys.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
No, we need some good.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
We're gonna need a bigger piece of sage.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
You've 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.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Stories that we're following. Of course, the weather rolling in
today is going to cause some problems tonight and tomorrow
for the Rose Parade. They said that most of the
most of the rain is expected to be gone by
the time the football game kicks off tomorrow afternoon, but
rainfall totals expected to range from about three quarters of
an inch to two and a half inches in some
(00:31):
of the coastal valley areas as much as five and
a half inches in some of the Foothill Mountain communities.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
So remember how we had that surprise for you on
Christmas Eve, Well it is New Year's Eve and we've
got another surprise for you this hour. That's all I'll say,
other than we may get the fire department called on us,
but that's all I'll say.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Now, onto many.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Therapy horses, therapy horses to me do great work. This
would be the therapy I would raise my hand for
a more I.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Think you can make the argument more so than more
common animals like dogs or cats, oh as therapyanals, because
there was a there's a spies element that comes with it,
and there's a bond, and a bond go on with
the bond. Well, that's what we have a guest for Victoria,
not boy. You're gonna have to explain your name Victoria
(01:23):
because I didn't Butcher say it for me once and
I'll remember it forever.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Okay, it's Victoria, notive net to now that I was.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Close to, and I apologize. So, but Victoria, where did you?
Where in the world do you start in the world
of Many Therapy Horses.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well, first of all, thank you so much Scary and
Shannon for the invitation to be on. We're so excited
to share a little bit about our mission with Many
Therapy Horses, nonprofit charity we started. I was always a
rider and competitor in a sport called drissage.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
But but not on many horses.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
No.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
But I thought, eventually I'm going to have one of
those little mini horses as a pet.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Okay, And I got my first horse, Pearl, who you
will see in the Rose Parade. She's seventeen and a
half now, and I was so inspired by her and
by with my horse. Now I was being able to
train her to do so many different things. I thought
it would be a fantastic way to give back to community,
(02:39):
sharing my love of horses and wanting to help people
in different ways. So that's how it started. One foot
in front of the other, and I thought where would
I like to go first, And the first thing that
came to my mind was visiting veterans, So that's where
I started.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
What have you witnessed? I imagine it is very rewarding
the work that you do. What have you witnessed? When
it comes to how people respond to the miniature horses,
You know.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It's so incredible how they respond to the horses. It
doesn't matter what age, from the teeniest of kids to
our oldest veterans. There's something about the horses that Gary
you mentioned that's a little different than other animal species
(03:32):
that just immediately like puts the clutch in, it creates
an emotional shift and they're so surprised by these teeny
little angel horses and just want to hug them and
love on them. And the horses are super highly trained,
I have to admit, and there just they love, they
(03:57):
feel the adoration from people and they give it back
act so they're very used to all situations and of
people reacting to them in different ways, and it's just magical.
And our teams are volunteers and I we just it's
so rewarding. It never gets sold. It never gets sold.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I was going to say this is you're getting a
lot of coverage this year, obviously because of the work
that you've been able to do this year, but the
mini therapy horses, they've been in the Rose Parade for
years now.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yes, we've been very blessed to have been in the
Rose Parade several years. It's actually our seventh year, not
our eighth years, our seventh year, and it's such an
incredible celebration to be able to be a part of
this year. As you know, we're going to have rain,
(04:54):
so we might have pottows on our horses and I
don't know, it depends how hard, but we go rain
or shine, and we'll be walking with our little girls.
They're all little mayors, they're all girls, and strutting our
stuff down yeah Colorado Avenue and showing off our little
(05:19):
therapy horses.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Have you noticed any changes in behavior before or during
or after the parade that it makes it obvious that
the horses know that it's a special occasion day.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Oh even in prepping them and getting their blinged out
little vests they wear ready and fitting them with their ribbons,
they get excited too because they can feel our excitement
and they know and they have ribbons on it's a
whole other it's a whole other game, so they definitely
(05:55):
know they're doing something special. We just did a class
best and my horn Pearl, who actually went viral waking
up a child out of anesthesia by playing her keyboard.
All her horses play little keyboards and four of them
will play. I hope we'll be playing their keyboards in
the Rose Parade, will be bringing them. But it's just
(06:22):
they love being part of the Rose Parade. And Pearl
is our biggest show off and she tends to stand
and walk on her own and she loves a big
to do, so she'll be showing off for everyone.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
That is just incredible. I love this. I love the
the anecdotes of the stories that especially you walk into
a base camp at a wildfire or something like that
and people come out of their trailers because the horses
have arrived, and everybody it's just such a there's such
a weird a special b I think between humans and horses,
(07:03):
and I mean we can hear it in your voice
and can't wait to see your little girls walking through
the parade tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Thank you so much. We're so excited about sharing them.
And really, they touch people's hearts on so many levels.
At the Veterans Hospital, we actually go in the lockdown
psychiatric word where they have a huge impact with patients
that might be non verbal or have so many multi
(07:31):
layers of issues, and it helps them so much in
organizing their thoughts and letting them feel their emotions with
touching and being able to maybe say something to someone
else about the horse or their doctors. It's just there.
It's incredible the way they touch people. So it's hard
(07:55):
to get that across in the parade, but that's what
they do on a daily basis. We have nine, all
nine of my horses will be walking in the parade
with our wonderful volunteers.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Very cool.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
We'll get to say that we know we okay, we
get these Victoria in her horses, all right, Thank you, Victoria,
appreciate your time.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Okay Low lights, highlights. I'm going to try to fit
two of these in lowlight. Being an Angels fan, it
is tortuous.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Highlight.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
The Eagles won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 7 (08:32):
Go Birds, low light.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
In April, I was hospitalized with COVID for a week,
never been hospitalized in my life.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Highlight.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
Because of that, I stopped smoking, and December twentieth was
eight months without a sigret. Happy New Year's you guys.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Congratulations.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
That is hard.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
That is a hard thing to do, quitting smoking, My god.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
Okay, low lights highlights.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I already heard from her, not that I don't want
to celebrate it again, but good morning, Happy New Year
to you both, you too.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Let's go Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
That was, without question the highlight. Yeah, twenty twenty five,
What a forty.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Season, What a fun season.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Speaking of the Angels. By the way, Anthony Rendon is gone.
Tommy two Bags or Tony two bags whatever they called him.
He ye. His thirty eight million dollars salary for this
next season will be deferred for three to five years,
so they're going to continue to pay him. The exact
timetable still unclear, but he paid. He played two hundred
(09:31):
and fifty seven games with the Angels two hundred and
fifty seven. He was paid two hundred and forty five million,
so he made almost a million dollars per game that
he played.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Sometimes you get a good deal, sometimes you.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Got a great hit. Yeah. Adva LaVey is a woman
we've talked a bit about before because she was targeting
very rich people. For that.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
She had a reputation as this glamorous jet setting model,
exotic background. She posted in TikTok videos, Instagram post posts.
Sheare like running the mill influencer right, She had podcast listeners.
She said that she was from Israel. She was in
(10:20):
bikini contest. She said she was a former member of
the Israeli Defense Forces. It was a facade that she
created on social media. Luxury cars, private jets, getaways in Vegas.
But this woman was all phony. Baloney is really what
it was. And she wasn't just scamming men, she was
(10:42):
scamming women. There was a woman who told her story
named Amber. Amber is in a lingerie model and she
was offered by this woman, this influencer, a sun filled
hotel stay on Abiza in Spain, and she thought this
was really nice of her. In sweet and my gosh,
(11:03):
this is going to be a lot of fun. This
is the life, like the influencers invite me to Abisa
and I go, and this is so cool. So it
didn't take long for Amber to wonder whether this woman
may have an ulterior motive for inviting her along. When
Amber arrives at the hotel, staff tells her the room
wasn't paid for, so she had to shell up shell
(11:24):
out about twenty four hundred dollars to check in. Then
when the influencer shows up at the hotel, she was
being trailed by a taxi driver who demanded to be paid.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
The influencer claimed that her AMEX card wasn't working in
Europe and that the airport money exchange was closed so
that Amber would have to pay the cab fare.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
But after that, she said it was just horrible. Ava
the influencer had convinced her to stay out all night
for days in an effort to attract older men and
get them to pay for meals and transportation, and then
when when the men weren't paying attention, she would take
and snap photos of their credit cards.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Amber says, I thought this was a girl's trip used
to make content, but the whole trip was just using
me to attract this woman's next victims. All she wanted
to do was hunt for rich, older men. This all
came to light back in October. The Sheriff's Department had
issued a special bulletin with adve Levi's photo and physical
(12:24):
description and encourage people to come forward and talk to detectives.
She'd been supposedly using dating apps and social media platforms
to target men around the country to steal their crap,
and after posing as a girlfriend or a companion, she'd
roll in and take stuff out of their homes, especially
their credit cards, among other things. The DA did file
(12:47):
charges against her at the beginning of November. She has
turned herself in and since then she is wearing an
electronic monitor in home detention. A bunch of different criminal
charges extortion, grand theft, first degree burglary with special circumstance,
with special circumstances of committing a violent crime against a
vulnerable person. It wasn't just elderly men, it evolved to
(13:11):
basically anyone. She had an opportunity to steal from male
female businesses whatever the They said she had very chaotic energy,
that she would disarm girls by calling them babe, and beautiful,
lying and saying that they were twin flames, love bombing everybody.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Essentially.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Megan is a model who alleges this woman try to
access her bank accounts after she borrowed her phone at
an event.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I guess you know I have a hard time. I
don't mean this as a fifty two year old man,
but I don't. I don't navigate my phone as quickly
as some people do, and I know where everything is
on my phone. Imagine if someone grabs your phone and
is able to manipulate it so quickly that they can
get your bank information in what would appear to be
(14:06):
or during the time, in what would appear to be
a normal phone.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Happens all the time. It happens all the time. Why
would you let anyone borrow your phone? Because your phone
contains so much It's not a phone, that is not
a phone that is your whole life. That's not And
that sounds sad empathetic, but it's true. There's so much
information on what you call your phone. It's like handing
over everything, your private life, your public life, your financial life, everything.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
One of the girls that was taken advantage of, Eden Lynne,
discovered the two of her credit cards and four hundred
bucks in cash were missing. After the podcast that she
had recorded called Banks, reached out to a couple of
girls I'd made friends with on the podcast and asked,
is your stuff missing too? Eden then started getting charges
(14:57):
on her Platinum Amex from a salon and Beverly Hills.
She calls up the salon and asks who's been making
the appointments and they said they did a FaceTime consultation
for hair extensions with a woman named Mia Ventura, which
is one of the pseudonyms that was used by this
aideva lobby.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I'm glad you got to that part of the story
because I just wanted to say one thing while you're
trying to weigh what your new Year's resolution is going
to be and things, I just want you don't need that,
You don't need hair extensions, your hairs. Just find the
way it is. You're beautiful just the way you are.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Are you trying to get me to say the same thing?
Are you mirroring?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
No, I'm letting you know for you that you're finding
the way that God intended.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Thank you, You're welcome. Okay, So go my hair cut
next week. As a matter of fact, okay, unacceptable totally.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
We were talking about things in the old year twenty
twenty five to kind of flush. Michael Monks came in
here and said, he said, I don't know if this
can fit into your show, but we need to do
a cleansing, and I said, sign me up. Deborah Mark
has brought in some Deborah Mark esque cleansing materials, materials.
(16:11):
Michael is going to officiate this cleanse. I believe it's
kind of like on a Christmas Eve when we had carollers,
but this time it's an impromptu cleansing.
Speaker 8 (16:21):
Yeah, he was actually going to come to my house
and he still might, you know, to do like a
really really really strong cleansing, but I said I need.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
It before the before the new year.
Speaker 8 (16:31):
So he said, okay, bring some in and yeah, that's
how it went down.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
What I'm hearing is you don't want Michael Monks in
your house and.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
So got it.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Were you ever.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
One of the bad kids in school where you'd kind
of like, you know, bring along one of the kids
that wasn't so bad, and like, I get that feeling, right,
now like I'm into this, and Gary.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Is like, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Are we get the fire department called? Are we gonna
get in trouble? And I'm like, who cares? Nobody's here,
nobody's at the school we're here, principal is not here.
We don't even have a principal. The halls are empty.
Let's uh, let's have some fun. Is anybody even listening?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
No?
Speaker 7 (17:25):
Yes, I mean your fans are. Yes.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Some people. Why are you pointing to me? I'm not listening.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
There are some unfortunate souls at a doctor's office right now,
where the physician keeps KFI.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I think that we ruined that doctor's office thing. A
long time ago. I had a friend tell me that
she works in a dentist office and that they used
to play KFI. That our show used to play. It
no longer is played. They switched And this was a
few years ago. So I don't know what we did,
if it was too many balls, jokes or what, but
(17:59):
that got it made.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
Hey, But that's what we're here to fix. Which part
of all of it?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
All of it.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Put your shirt back on you. Sorry, it's not that
kind of party.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
It's getting hot in here, very rarely do we have
four people in the same room A lot.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
All right, Look, I want to practice this half by
saying I know nothing of the dark arts. I'm a
white kid from the northern Kentucky suburbs of Cincinnati, but
I believe in the power of positivity and intention, and
the way that I stay grounded in those lines of
thinking is through burning incense and sage. I've got a
(18:37):
few crystals. Now does that mean I think that weird
spirits move through the universe. I don't know, but it
makes me feel centered and thinking about good things coming
in my life. Other people may have other ways of
doing that. Yeah, this worked for me and pulled me
out of the darkness.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I love this.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Out of the slums of downtown LA to a beautiful
apartment in the slums of downtown LA. Okay, I'm living
proof that this can work.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I'm a big believer in staying open and staying a
learner to always come at things from a beginning standpoint
in your head like a beginner's mind, always here to learn,
always here to learn new things. Even if you're as
old as Gary is, you still can learn.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Hey wait a.
Speaker 8 (19:21):
Minute, I know I'm older. I know I am older
than Gary.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
No, you're not.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
I am. Don't be. I don't think you are. I am.
Write down a number.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
No, I'm older than you.
Speaker 8 (19:31):
I know how you old you are, and I know
how old I am.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
And I'm not going to say.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
How old am I is?
Speaker 7 (19:37):
What I was going to say, you fifty or fifty three?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Okay, yeah, right on the cuspretail.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
We don't need to talk about age at this moment.
Speaker 4 (19:45):
In fact, when you think about your age, it's appropriate
to feel nostalgic or even a little sad about time
that has passed and things that you used to do
that you don't do anymore.
Speaker 7 (19:56):
I did too.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
But what you have to think of now is where
are you right now at this point in your life.
You have great kids, right, You have great kids. Both
of your kids are doing you know, both of your
sets of children are doing great, and you're doing great professionally.
That's what I mean about. Just like, wait a second,
I wouldn't be able to do when I was twenty three.
What I wouldn't do to have as much money as
(20:17):
I have in my pocket?
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Right?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
And if you just start stretching more, you do all
that stuff feeling good?
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Yeah, yeah, that's right, just stretch.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
That's all.
Speaker 7 (20:26):
Where's my crystal that you took from?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
That?
Speaker 7 (20:28):
One's very important?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Do you accusatory tone? He's gonna f this up, Deborah. Okay, now,
if you want me to do the magic, you sit
there and wait.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
I'm so sorry, Michael.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Mom, it's father Michael.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
As long as you don't call me Aunt Deborah again.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Boy, we call her Aunt Deborah lovingly. Back in the newsroom.
She has big ant energy. Yeah, okay, Deborah, I don't
know how much you want to reveal about your life.
You've talked about some things, but you've.
Speaker 7 (20:57):
You No, it hasn't.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
My dad's had two brain surgeries and last night his
pseudo wife had to call nine one one paramedic showed up.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
You stopped breathing. So he's not doing very well today.
It's been a very.
Speaker 8 (21:09):
Very bad year regarding health stuff for my.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Dad, and Deborah's had to shoulder the whole thing. Yeah,
she's the point person. She's well, my brother has been involved.
I have to I have to say, I can't take
I can't take all the credit. But I'm a very
emotional person and it's it's really affected.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
She brings it in you know like we see it's okay.
We're here for you too, we're your work family. But
she brings it in. You can see it. She's exasperated,
she's hostage, sad, she's tired, and a little annoying.
Speaker 8 (21:38):
Thank you didn't need to say that's not annoying.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
I say that with love, Aunt Deborah. But I've suggested
to her, was like I was able to find some
real you will in a moment because there's a part
to this where you will leave.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
Well, I also have to do that.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Exactly, So I've set it up this way. So stop
with the.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
You can't I can't force the energy.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
I can't tell the spirits when to come into this studio.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
They have agents, they've probably decided to leave.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
They have the whole team downstairs. They're over Warner Brothers
right now, A days of our lives set cleaning that up. Okay,
what we're gonna do today is take the crystal that
you brought in and use the manifestation that it is
designed to bring to you. Now, there will be a
break because you've got to do the news. But while
you're doing the news, we're going to light the flame
(22:28):
at that point so that when you return.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
This is when Gary gets it, it will be.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
As smoky as a lesbian bar in South Pasadena in
nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Why did we have to bring the lesbians into it?
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Okay, okay, As you sit here today and thinking of
ways to remind yourself to be happy and positive, think
of the little signs for me. They come in patterns.
It's four forty four, I see it on the clock.
Oh nice, it's eleven eleven. You know that's a very
common make fifty five. Yeah, those types of things. Today,
(23:01):
Michelle Cube, our executive producer, handed me this little piece
of paper and said, hey, I found this for you.
It's a little square, glossy piece of white. What do
you see on the.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
On that heart?
Speaker 4 (23:13):
It's it's in the heart shape. Isn't a sweet gesture
for Michelle? Okay, it's a heart.
Speaker 7 (23:17):
I didn't get with that.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
But this is the type of negativity that you have
got to release. It's not a contest, it's an experience.
I was trying to yell it out of you. And
you brought in a crystal today that is orange. Yes,
in what shaped?
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Deborah?
Speaker 7 (23:33):
Oh that Oh that just gave me chills. It's a heart. Oh,
that's so bizarre. That is bizarre.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
And what is the name of our company? Shannon Farren?
I Heart, I heeart. We're in the iHeart studio. This
You didn't think about this crystal as being a heart
and wanted in. Michelle didn't think I was going to
be doing a seance in the main studio, which she
had to meet this piece of paper, do.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Me a favorite. Take off your pants and turn around me.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Do you see I see a herd tattoo? But there's
a snake through it.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
That's no snake. Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Okay, before we go to break, what we're gonna do
in the next segment is we're gonna burn some stage
and we're gonna do some manifestation technique so that we
can release the bad energy of this year and open
ourselves up for the good energy of next year. Now
this crystal you brought in again, I'm not an expert
on this. I play in the dark arts. I try
to identify it through just some pictures online, and I
(24:29):
think I've landed on three possibilities.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Wait, is this your card six of Clubs? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (24:36):
No, oh, I thought we were down. Stop interrupting the class,
all right, and put your shirt back on again.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
It's just really warm in here.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
It could be an orange adventurine crystal, which is what
I think it is. Why don't we come back to them?
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Okay, I can't wait.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
It could be the Carnelian crystal for fertility, and we
could cleanse and charge Carnelian by holding it before a
lit candle in order to enhance your passion, your libido,
your potency, your love, your harmony, your dream therapy.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
And I don't think.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Deborah needs sex stuff right now. She needs like healing.
Speaker 7 (25:11):
From We don't think.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
We don't think it's the sex one.
Speaker 9 (25:14):
No, No, it could be specar Tight, the special type,
which I think was the name of that bar in
South Pastina in the early nineties were close to break
the special tighte garnet for passion, which could also improve
your luck, your libido, your fertility, your creativity.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Therey non sex stuff there.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Is, and it's beautiful when we come back.
Speaker 7 (25:37):
Okay, So I have to go in there.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
It's low.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
Yeah, go ahead, We're gonna like this flame for you, Deborah.
We're gonna have good intentions, all three of us.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Yeah, I've got some. It's important to remember that there
are never mind what they are children listening that nobody
in the dentist I was going to be the giant
fund sponge, and I refuse to do that. I'm going
to end this year on a on a happier here together,
it's gonna be fine.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Don Martin was the only one who got mad when
we set fires in the building. And he's not here,
although I had a dream about him last night. Maybe
this is why I didn't even know we were setting fires.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Now, who needs to put their shirt back on? Indeed?
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Here?
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Why?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Gary? Hang on?
Speaker 8 (26:15):
You know my my computer.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Just gonna be quick. Good.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
I want both of you to think something positive right now,
and I want you to direct that energy into this
cup of water.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I brought it. Okay, I'm positive about Deborah.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
Just take it. Take it to yourself.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Oh god, guys, there're such tweets to myself. What is
my positivity directed.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Towards this cup of water? Don't make me point to
it again.
Speaker 8 (26:39):
I'm good, Gary, now, excellent, positive that while Debora does
the news, we'll put positivity in this water.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
The New Spider Wall song Closure Michael Monks is here
and the sage is late. Michael Monks.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Somebody on Instagram Live says, you are hilarious.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Bless you.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
We have lit the sage. Were not a priest, bro.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
We have lit the sage and this healing, cleansing smoke
is filling this air. Deborah, this is for you. We
will all benefit from being in the presence of this,
but this is for Deborah and our insurance. I want
you to think, Deborah, about two zero two six.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Two zero. That's the year you people?
Speaker 8 (27:34):
Oh god, oh my god, shat it good?
Speaker 7 (27:42):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (27:42):
I never heard it said like that twenty twenty six.
Speaker 7 (27:46):
Okay, that would have been made more sense.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Add those numbers together two plus zero plus two plus
six and now to yourself or out loud if you
want to share them with the audiences and all of
you listening at home. We're in the car, we're in
the doctor's office. Ten things I think we should put
(28:10):
it you want for next year?
Speaker 2 (28:11):
I think that fire alarm is going to go off.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
It's not that smoking.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Hey, I can smell it.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
You were at that Crystal Gem bar in South Pasadena, and.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
There also they didn't pay attention to the fire it
also disabled the fire smoked.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Don't worry, We're okay.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
Do you have your thoughts? No, let me say what
like that?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Just saw?
Speaker 4 (28:30):
What's the first thing you want?
Speaker 7 (28:32):
I want my dad to get better.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
But now you can't project it onto someone else. So
think about that in the context of you. You want
relief from this situation.
Speaker 8 (28:45):
Yes, I want relief from this situation.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
You want calm.
Speaker 7 (28:53):
I want calm.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
You want happiness.
Speaker 7 (28:57):
I want happiness.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
You want success.
Speaker 7 (29:02):
I want success.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
You want love.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
I want love.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
You want clarity.
Speaker 7 (29:08):
I want clarity.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
You want wisdom.
Speaker 7 (29:11):
I want wisdom.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
You want willpower.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
I want will power.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
Let's think about these once, and let's breathe them in
and breathe them out towards the water. This water, the
water that we're all touched with our positivity. I call
(29:40):
on the power of this fertility crystal and this cleansing air.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
No, it's not for sorry, don't make that for pregnant.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
We call on the power of manifestation given to us
by this divine crystal and the air now cleansed by
this divine stage. We wash twenty twenty five from Deborah's
physical being, and as we wait for twenty twenty six
to rive. We inject Deborah's spirit with positive thoughts and
(30:18):
experiences rooted in the intentional wants of clarity, relief, love, happiness.
Speaker 7 (30:32):
You can throw money in there too.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Yeah, wisdom will power, and we remind Deborah that all
of that power lies in her. Deborah, when you wake
up in the morning and your feet hit the ground
for the first time, say thank you because you are alive. Okay,
breathe the air, and your first thought should just be
(30:53):
I'm breathing, and then take five minutes to yourself and
enjoy the silence before you open a screen. I mean,
if you have to poop, go ahead and poop, but
take five minutes you know in your little box that's necessary.
And then you're consulting and take that and start your
(31:18):
day with those intentions. And I would urge you to
have a book with blank pages and a beautiful pen
that you love writing it, and have these crystals nearby
and write the date, write your location, and write what
you're thankful for.
Speaker 7 (31:37):
Every morning, every day.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
If you can't do it in the morning, do it tonight.
If you miss a day, give yourself forgiveness for that.
Don't worry about it. You'll get to it. You need
to remain in a place of gratitude in what you have,
and when you do that, you will have more.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
I want you to say, I understand, Father Michael.
Speaker 8 (31:56):
Okay, I understand, Father Michael. Gary's not buying into this.
Speaker 7 (31:59):
Does that mean that all this stuff is.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Curry is a Protestant? Okay, he's got his own problem.
Speaker 8 (32:05):
Okay, So this isn't going to affect me then, right,
his negativity isn't going to lead into me.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Will you let it?
Speaker 4 (32:10):
I'm are you empowered by the divine crystal?
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Am? Can we put the fire out?
Speaker 4 (32:16):
The fire's out? The fire only burns in depth.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Did you smoke it? Try to smoke it? Let's see
what happens.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Oh, man, you know where I am right now? Told
you South Pasadena, nineteen ninety three. Melissa Ethridge on the jukebox,
Billiards balls, window.
Speaker 1 (32:36):

new is Deborah?
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Bring me that holy water with you to hold the
holy water?
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Somebody on hold the holy water?
Speaker 4 (32:49):
Yeah, and hold it and remember your thoughts. Relief relief, clarity, clarity, love, happiness.
Speaker 8 (32:57):
Happiness, success, success.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
Wisdom, will power, will power. Think about twenty twenty six
being the best year of your life.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
I hope you're right.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
I'm going to put this stage into that water with
this crystal. Oh is it okay?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Sure?
Speaker 7 (33:12):

Speaker 4 (33:13):
Formulator, you will do your own fishing. Oh okay, this

Would you do me a favor? Would you kick that
door open when you leave? You want to air this
place out a bar with you. I'd want to breathe
this in for a while. No, because you two are dark.
We are not dark.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
You're dark. Because next all I need is next time
we're gonna pull the demons out of you guys.
Speaker 2 (34:22):

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp.

He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay.

Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
