This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
That may have to be a bonus motivational Monday for
us later in the show today, it might have to be.
Coach Jim Harbaugh was in the locker room for the
Ducks game last night.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Now, it didn't do any good, not they lost, but I'm.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Still it's still one of those that's great.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
The fact that a guy like that, I think what
makes it even more great is that the guy like that,
you can tell he still remembers those days of being just.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
No It's like it was this morning for him, and that's.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
What he said.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
He's like for me, I was just like you. I
was like ready to run the Kentucky Derby.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
You know, I was ready to go.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Like he still gets Jack like he's playing, which is
what you want.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
You know, you want you want.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Coaches and owners and everything that are fans and that
are you know, have that player mindset.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
You just you want that.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
You don't see it very often or not often and
not right.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I was looking through the news today and I saw
this article in the La Times and it.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Was given to me.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
You know, there's an algorithm that comes into your phone
when it's Apple News or Google News or what have you.
They notice what you're clicking on, and so they'll feed
you things they think you may like based on that.
And I was fed inn La Times article eleven cafes
where you can sip coffee while shopping for plants. And
my initial reaction was, oh, freaking take me out back
(01:32):
and shoot me in.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
The head, like old yeller, you know what I mean, Like.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
What this is my This is my life now is
sipping coffee and shopping for plants. And then my second
thought was, God, that sounds nice, sounds pretty. That sounds
like a nice little afternoon having a nice little cappuccino
looking at some plants, seeing maybe about something I won't kill.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
There is a place. When you said that, I immediately
thought of a place up in morro Bay called the
Garden Gallery. And it is that kind of a place
where you walk some of the stories inside, some of
it is outside. There's the sound of garden waterfalls all
over the place.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Sounds amazing.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
I have a little couple.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Of espresso and the thing and you just walk around
and the plant all the plants are the most exceptionally
well grown plants you've ever seen in your life.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Wow, it's it's I like, I am into that, I'm
telling you. At first I was like good.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Oh, and then I was like this sounds amazing. So
it was a nice little moment of growth.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
There is, uh, there is? Which part?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
You mean that you allowed yourself the second thought? Yeah, okay,
well that's good. Yeah, allow yourself some time to relax.
It's gonna be very hot today.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
You're gonna I know, I thought you were going to
be wearing what You're doing this to bother me? And
last week me may have been bothered by it, but
this week me, yes, is going to.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
This is so stupid. Why do people do that? Do
people do that? Un ironically? Still?
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Which part playing the music?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Yeah, they still think it's funny.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
And like, are there stations in Los Angeles that will
open a newscast with this?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Still? Oh you have no idea?
Speaker 6 (03:20):
Really?
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Oh they're gonna go crazy.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Today's temperature, the high temperatures are supposed to be something
like eighteen to twenty degrees above normal, which is I love,
I love the heat, Bring on the heat, I love,
I love hot days. It's gonna be the hottest day
of the year so far, and in about two weeks
will go Remember the good old days when it was
barely ninety.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yesterday it was summer like, it was beautiful, it was
so much nice. I was like, I love summer was
hots just got open up, the windows, got some lavender.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
It's the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
We have a plant in the backyard that when it
like it hits eighty two degrees and you could smell
it jazz, not jasmine.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
It's one of those flowery plants.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
That's how you know, and that's.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
How you know it's okay. There it is. That's a
vega exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
And then it's going to drop down to normal back
like by Thursday, it's going to be down upper sixties again.
So do not switch over your your heat pump to
air conditioner just yet because it's going to take some time.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
So when is winter coming back, Probably.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Well it's not.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
It's still going to be beautiful, but it's going to
be sixty eight and beautiful as opposed to.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Eighty eight and beautiful. So I don't know how people
react to those types of times.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Too hot and.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
It's fifty bucks Grandpa for seventy five. The wife can watch.
It's the thirty fifth anniversary of Pretty. That's my favorite quote.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I don't think I ever saw, well, I did see
the complete movie.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
I think I have seen the company.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I've seen it probably seventy five thousand times. It's a
great movie.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I think that was the one that was a movie
where exceptional I realized that they do body doubles for
nude scenes. Oh really, Julia Roberts made a big deal
out of the fact that that was not her body
in some of those shots. Oh and I remember thinking,
what I don't.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Even remember nude scenes.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Well, it wasn't like full on like White Lotus kind
of nude scene. It was more of it.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
But here's a penis tasteful, which that wasn't even a
real penis.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I haven't seen it. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I got I got semi yelled at last night by
my wife who was talking to her brother on the phone,
and he was asking her if we had been watching
White Lotus, and she said, well, no, Gary hasn't watched
any of it. I haven't seen the first or second season,
so why would I jump in on the third. It
doesn't matter And then she said something like he doesn't
(06:02):
know what he's missing. And I'm like, I see every
Monday when the pre you know, the morning after the
previous episode about who's Jojo is flying out and who's
Johnson is real or not real?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
And I've never referred I've never heard a penis referred
to as a jojo like a kangaroo.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Is that what, baby?
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Joey?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Oh, Joey, Yeah, what's a jojo?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I mean we interviewed on the radio Trader Joe, So
you just did you make something up? Calling not because
I should probably change it and come up with some
other one. If you have pet names for penises, that's
something new.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
This is this is this is this is.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Here's a great story out of the the c I,
A U, and JFK files that came out. Everybody's grandpa
worked for the CIA level point.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I love it. Grandpa always seemed like he was up
to something, didn't he.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Yes, he did.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
The Dows have five hundred points right now, SMP five
hundred is up ninety six, Nasdaq has up three hundred
and seventy six. All of this potentially because there is
a report that President Trump may hold back from implementing
some of the wide ranging tariff plans supposed to come
up next week. A guy arrested in charge with assault
(07:19):
for driving his car towards a group of people that
were protesting outside of a Tesla dealership in Florida. He
didn't hit anybody, He went pretty slow. There are all
a couple of people. I think the report out of
one of the Florida TV stations in West Palm Beach
was we had to move out of the way of
(07:40):
the car, and they felt like that that was a Greek.
The guy says he lost his breaks whatever it was,
no injuries.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
We've all had to move out of the way.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
He has been arrested and charge.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
It is time for world champion Dodger Baseball. This Thursday,
the Dodgers take on the Detroit Tigers for Opening Day
at Dodger Stadium. First pitch at four ten. Listen to

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Our plan, by the way tomorrow is to be talking
with David vasse O. Right, I've heard that before. Yeah,
I know you should be in this time zone though tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
He was on with other people when he was in Japan.
He totally blew us off, and there's gonna have to
be a conversation, which I'll let this go because we've
got to move forward without resentment.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Right, he was on wake Up Call.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
He was on literally everybody's show but ours, and he
confirmed with us like a week before he was coming
on the show too, and I just think he blew
He was just like I don't feel like doing it.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I don't feel like getting up or I don't feel
like staying up or whatever.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
And that's fine, but like it made me take a
look at us, like what is.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Wrong with us?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Us? Because like, okay, this is where I put myself.
If I was covering the Chargers, for instance, and I got.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Booked on a show, which I do.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I do hits on shows on sports stations in other
cities all the time, and I would never blow them off.
There's times when I've wanted to blow them off something
else is going on because it's weird times of day
and things like that. But like I was thinking, like
if it was like Petro's and money, which doesn't make
any sense.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
But let's just say it was Petros's money that I
was booked for.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I would never blow them off because it's Pedro's and money.
They're like the brothers down the hall. They're people that
I've known for five hundred years.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Because when Dave Assay walks in here, I mean it
comes in, especially in baseball season. He's in studio many
times exactly, he's gonna have to look right at us
and say, I blew you off.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Well, And it's not just that, it's like that, I
consider them my friends. I can seer of Assay a friend.
And so suddenly, no, no, what do you think that?
I guess we're not.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Seventy seven thousand pages related to the nineteen sixty three
assassination of JFK haven't really given us a lot of
bombshells in terms of the actual assassination. But with all
of the redactions that were lifted in this latest thing
that came out, this latest group of documents that came out,
people are finding out that grandpa worked for the CIA.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
John Smith is one of them.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
The news sure his name is true of course, it's
John Smith, right, yeah, right. The news of his grandfather's
work came in the form, they say, of two short
pages that could easily be missed amid the avalanche of papers,
a newly unredacted account from nineteen ninety one of E. B.
Smith pressing a KGB official for Soviet intelligence related to
(10:37):
Kennedy's killing. John Smith is forty five years old, he says, Sure,
it's surprising he learned from a Washington Post reporter of
his grandparent father's appearance in the files, he says, but
in hindsight it made sense. His grandfather was an outgoing
guy who had lived in the Soviet Union. He had
made connections there even after he moved back to the US.
(10:58):
He had gone to the Soviet un as a full
bright professor at Moscow State University in seventy six. He
struck up a friendship with a student named Slava Nikoov.
Nikonov was from a storied Soviet family. His grandfather was
Stalin's foreign minister, who happened to be the namesake of
the Molotov cocktail. The two kept in touch, and then
(11:20):
by nineteen ninety one, when EB Smith took a trip
to Moscow. Molotov, or I should say Molotov's grandson was
a high ranking KGB official who had been tasked with
helping to thaw the relations between the KGB and the CIA.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
So that's where that relationship went to.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
The memo describes Eb Smith's efforts to learn from him
about the Soviets ties to Lee Harvey Oswald.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Smith actually said he found after Grandpa died about thirteen
years ago. Twelve years ago, said they found a picture
of Grandpa with Kennedy in the Oval office, which they
had already cherished as a family but now that they
know the connection of Grandpa, eb went and tried to
find more information about Kennedy's assassination. Obviously it means it
(12:12):
means more to the family now than it did.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Dorothy North seventy six. She's from California. She learned this
week that her late husband had been an intelligence asset
for the CIA. A reporter called the House on One
File described her late husband as a longtime source of
exceptional value.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
She said, it is a shock.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
He never mentioned before or after they married in nineteen
seventy seven that he had previously worked alongside the CIA.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I had thoughts I still do entertain some thoughts that
my dad may have been involved in some very very
top secret stuff for the Navy, because he referred to
stories kind of vaguely about late sixties, you know, Cold
War is heating up, and guys would come into his
(12:59):
lab at the Naval Shipyard, no identification, all of them
in suits. They'd have a briefcase and they'd take it
to the chem lab the physical science lab, and they'd say,
tell us what this is, and it's a chunk of something.
It's a chunk of they he never knew what it was.
He just had to tell now, he had to tell
them what the chemical makeup of this thing was, whatever
(13:21):
this material was. And it kind of pieced later that
it was right around the same time that the United
States had pulled a Russian submarine off the floor of
the Pacific Ocean and then tried to reverse engineer sort
of a stealth material that they were using for the
walls of their submarines.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
It I'm sure that's so cool.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I bet your daughter loves hearing stories like that. Yeah,
like what is this? And like she was like the
one who could break down, or he was the one
that could break down, Like like what this.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Type of and is it brand new?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Do they visit yeah?
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Us.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Didn't you also think that your dad was involved with
the Zodiac Oh yeah, he said.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
He he was friends with the guy who was on
the shortlist of Zodiac killers.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Your dad was like Jesus, you know, he made friends
with a lot of undesirables.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Snow White turned into a big pilot turd. Apparently for Disney.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
It cost them two hundred and fifty million dollars to
make this new snow White movie. It only made forty
three million dollars over the weekend, which, well, there's like
a lot of money.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
But man, they.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Stopped advertising it. And I had heard from someone, Oh,
did they stop advertising it because it's a female who's
a Latina who is in the lead and diversity is
not cool anymore?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
And I'm like, what, No, it's the opposite.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
It's that they had this weird Palestinian Israeli conflict between
the two leads and then the midgets got involved. So
it's just like, this was a PR disaster, And why
didn't bring in like a PR crisis firm from Hollywood
just to fix everything mid promotional tour? I don't get
because it would have saved you probably a lot.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Of money on the back end. It should because Heather,
it was in here on Friday or Thursday.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Good movie.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
See it was a good movie. It looks beautiful. I
watched the trailer.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
It looks beautifully done, like in the vein of Wicked
and just a beautifully just a beautiful presentation.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
There is a group of American officials that are headed
to Greenland later this week. Of course, Greenland is a
President Trump has had his eyes on Greenland for some time.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
This was back at the beginning of the year.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
We need Greenland for national security purposes. I've been told
that for a long time, long before I even ran.
I mean, people have been talking about it for a
long time. You have approximately forty five thousand people there.
People really don't even know if Denmark has an illegal
right to it, but if they do, they should give
it up because we needed for national security. That's for
(15:58):
the free world. I'm talking about detecting the free world.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
So Thursday, the Energy Secretary Chris Wright, National Security Advisor
Mike Walls, and Second Lady Usha Vance and also.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Coming to celebrate the long history of mutual respect and
cooperation between our nations and to express hope that our
relationship will only grow stronger in the coming years.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Again, President Trump, during that addressed to Congress a couple
of weeks ago, it said, we'll get Greenland somehow. We
have no idea how he plans to do it, but
there is at least one military base in the area.
That area is they call it growing when it comes
to geopolitical importance. Geographically, it's in an important spot for us,
(16:47):
the United States as.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
An ally, not an asset. I believe is yes, is.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
The way that we like to say it.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
But in the event that something does happen and the
proverbial excrement hits the oscillation, then we're going to have
to have some pretty robust resources in that spot.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
But isn't that something that they would allow us to
do if we maintained a decent friendship with them? Probably yes, yeah,
as long as we hate them. Same thing with Canada.
Who knew the Canadians hated us so much? Well, this
is bringing it out. Canada prides itself, who knew on
not being America? Canada prides itself on not being American
(17:26):
All this time They've been thumbing their nose at all
things American. And who knew until I don't know. Trump
said be our fifty first state, and they said, we
hate you. Absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Yeah, but I think they hate him.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Ah, that's not what I've been reading.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Really.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I mean they love that they are not this, and
I think a lot of that's jealousy. It's kind of
like the Mariners loving that they're not the Yankees.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
I love.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I don't have to wear the pinstripes. I would hate
all that winning.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Did you see there are a couple portrait issues with
Trump going on right now.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
The whole Putin having Trump's portrait done to me was
so indicative of our conversation last week about Putin knowing
how to play Trump, or seemingly knowing how to play
Trump if he is or if he isn't, I don't know,
but that he gives Trump what he needs and the
way that Zelensky didn't in the Oval office, Putin does know.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
How to play that game.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Steve Whitkoff is the envoy for Russia Ukraine relations right
now and is supposedly helping broker some sort of a
ceasefire deal. Witkoff said that Vladimir Putin gave him a
quote beautiful portrait of Trump that Putin had commissioned by
a leading Russian artist, and that he asked that Witkoff
take the painting back to the White House.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Trump was clearly touched by it.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Sharing this story as part of a broader conversation, he said, so,
this is the kind of connection that we've been able
to re establish through a simple word called communication. Witkoff
is echoing his boss when it comes to the language
that he choosing to use.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Now.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
The other one is in Colorado in the state capitol.
They have a series of portraits of presidents and there's
there's I don't know why they're next to each other,
but Barack Obama is up on the wall next to
one of President Trump. Barack Obama looks young, it's early
on in his presidency because there's not a lick of
(19:23):
gray hair on his head.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
So young.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
And then there's Trump who looks like he was inflated
about ten PSI over the max.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
I mean, he just looks bloated. And Trump was like,
take it down. I don't want that. That's an ugly picture.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
He looks great. Why do I look all puffy? It was,
that's funny, such a funny, and he's begging. I think
Jared Polis is the governor there in Colorado. He's asking
Governor Polis.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I thought that the official portrait. I mean, like I'm
thinking about George w who we saw everywhere. Maybe it
was because of nine to eleven, maybe not, but how
they had the official portrait, now that was the one
used in state houses and for every.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Proscut everywhere, and that they had to okay it.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
This is just a this is just a painting.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Yeah, it's just interesting.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Return of the Max singer Mark Morrison has gotten busted
on a battery charge.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Apparently he hit the GM of a swanky restaurant at
Lebara Vin and Palm Beach. Oh yeah, it's unfortunate.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
All right.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Oh did you hear a podcast over the weekend.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
I was there when we recorded it.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
You were, I was huh, yeah, Well I have something
to give you.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Oh God, all right, Garry and Channing will continue.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
I won't rub it on your face, thank you. Jacob.
How is Japan?
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Oh it was amazing. I miss it already.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
I bet what was your favorite? What were your three
favorite things about it? Food or just everything?
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Food is a lot better over there, yeah, just everything
to the train. The commute, Like I was telling Kean,
like I would probably commute over there to work if
I lived over there. Yeah, because it's amazing. You can
get anywhere by train. You don't get stabbed on the train.
You don't get robbed on the train. Wait, a lot
of stabbed or robbed on the train here? No, there, no,
(21:20):
not that.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Do you get peede on at least?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
No?
Speaker 5 (21:23):
Not even pete?
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Why do you take the train?
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Why wouldn't you take the train?
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Is there anyone passed out on fentanyl on the train?
Speaker 5 (21:30):
I saw a couple of drunk people in the Red
Light district in the morning, just drunk, right, they were
just drunken people. Give them water bottles.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Now, what was your food?
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Do you?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I saw you.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
I was stalking you on Instagram. So you you did
the rama and you did the sushi. You you went
to the Michelin pizza place.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
Oh, the pizza was amazing. It's kind of weird. Do
you go to Japan for pizza? But they do it
in a different way and it's so good. Sushi was good,
but I wouldn't say it was like out of this world.
It's just very fresh. Romen was very good. I would
I would say two of the spots were my favorite
spots over there for Ramen.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Yeah, did you see any of the gardens in the cities?
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Yeah, there's so many shrines that you'll you don't even
know that they're on your list, and you'll just be
walking and all of a sudden you're in the middle
of a shrine. Right.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
So it's really cool though, But cities are amazing. I
loved Kyoto a lot. That one has a lot of
shrines and temples, but it's I've noticed that Japan is
just so packed to tourism.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Now, is there anything to see outside the cities? I mean,
did you do I didn't.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
We didn't do any day trips outside of the cities,
but we did go to just kind of like some
of the temples, and like, if you get there early
in the morning, it's less crowded, but if you go
after ten, it's a done deal dealing with several hundred people.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
And the tourists there, are they Americans.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
Or well we saw a good amount of Americans because
of the Dodger game, but a lot of them did
not have tickets to the game. And we did go
to the pop up merch shop at the dome, which
was insanity too. People were pushing and shoving for gear.
But there was a lot of like Asian tourists from
like China, the Philippines, Korea.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Yeah, did you end up going to the other venue
to watch the game?
Speaker 5 (23:15):
There was a watch party at the I think it
was called the Tokyo Skytree, and it was It was outside,
but it started to rain and it was like fifty
to forty degrees.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
So I was like, no, I watched ten minutes and
then we went inside.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Oh smart.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Yeah, and then it snowed one day too rain. Oh
my gosh. Yeah. I look outside and it was raining
and then it started to snow. It snowed for like
probably two hours.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Oh wow, that's magical.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Though we had all the seasons there, rain, shine, snow.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Oh, that's so cool.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
It was really cool.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
How long that was? Eight days?
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Nine full days?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Nine days?
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Yeah, did you propose?
Speaker 4 (23:49):
I did not know.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
I remember my husband took me to Spain when we
had been dating three years. It's around the same time
that you've been dating Nicole, and we were in Madrid
and it snowed unseasonably. It was beautiful, and I thought, oh,
and it was Valentine's Day too, and I thought, what
a time to propose.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Nothing Still nothing.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
See sorry, Jacob.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
If I'd known that was coming, I would have tried
to put an end to it.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
I almost want to hit the idea earlier.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
But that's so magical, though, isn't it Like you're on vacation.
It's just starts snowing, right, that's so cool.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
You ever to see a Mount Fuji to train, which
that in itself was an experience bullet train. It was
two hours, but it goes by so fast. I just
wanted to stay on the train totally. I love they're
so peaceful. Yeah, their bathrooms are really nice.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah, everything's so clean and on time. And I like
to eat on those trains too.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
The train. Eating on the train was the best thing
because you have a compartment tray that's in the arm seat,
and then there's one in front of you, and then there's
a foot rest.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
It's a whole thing, and they think of everything.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
There's one foot rest that you could put your shoes on,
and then one if you flip it over to take
off your shoes and put your socks on.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Like yeah, I think of everything, But you're not supposed
to show the bottom of your foot in Japan.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
No, very everybody keeps there their socks on.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Yeah, well welcome back.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Oh and also no PDAs in Japan. Did you hear
that they're very conservative? Yes, Like I remember at one
point when we were there, and I like, because you
know me, I'm a freaking disaster of a human, and
so like I went to kiss my husband I think
we were on a train, and he was like kind
of pushing me, and he was like, it's very rude
(25:35):
to have PDAs in Japan.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
No eating or drinking on trains, right, unless unless you're
on the bullet train and you purchase a seat, then
you can eat and drink. But if you're on a
regular like subway or you know, any Amtrak train, no
eating or drinking. Really. Yeah, the look at you weird.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Yeah, it's a polite thing.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Trash.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
You better hold onto your trash all day to.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Put it in your pocket.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Yeah, we're with you, weird, PDA, you're in fentanyl monsters

Coach Jim Harbaugh was in the locker room for the
Ducks game last night.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Now, it didn't do any good, not they lost, but I'm.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Still it's still one of those that's great.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
The fact that a guy like that, I think what
makes it even more great is that the guy like that,
you can tell he still remembers those days of being just.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
No It's like it was this morning for him, and that's.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
What he said.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
He's like for me, I was just like you. I
was like ready to run the Kentucky Derby.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
You know, I was ready to go.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Like he still gets Jack like he's playing, which is
what you want.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
You know, you want you want.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Coaches and owners and everything that are fans and that
are you know, have that player mindset.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
You just you want that.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
You don't see it very often or not often and
not right.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I was looking through the news today and I saw
this article in the La Times and it.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Was given to me.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
You know, there's an algorithm that comes into your phone
when it's Apple News or Google News or what have you.
They notice what you're clicking on, and so they'll feed
you things they think you may like based on that.
And I was fed inn La Times article eleven cafes
where you can sip coffee while shopping for plants. And
my initial reaction was, oh, freaking take me out back
(01:32):
and shoot me in.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
The head, like old yeller, you know what I mean, Like.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
What this is my This is my life now is
sipping coffee and shopping for plants. And then my second
thought was, God, that sounds nice, sounds pretty. That sounds
like a nice little afternoon having a nice little cappuccino
looking at some plants, seeing maybe about something I won't kill.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
There is a place. When you said that, I immediately
thought of a place up in morro Bay called the
Garden Gallery. And it is that kind of a place
where you walk some of the stories inside, some of
it is outside. There's the sound of garden waterfalls all
over the place.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Sounds amazing.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
I have a little couple.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Of espresso and the thing and you just walk around
and the plant all the plants are the most exceptionally
well grown plants you've ever seen in your life.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Wow, it's it's I like, I am into that, I'm
telling you. At first I was like good.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Oh, and then I was like this sounds amazing. So
it was a nice little moment of growth.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
There is, uh, there is? Which part?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
You mean that you allowed yourself the second thought? Yeah, okay,
well that's good. Yeah, allow yourself some time to relax.
It's gonna be very hot today.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
You're gonna I know, I thought you were going to
be wearing what You're doing this to bother me? And
last week me may have been bothered by it, but
this week me, yes, is going to.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
This is so stupid. Why do people do that? Do
people do that? Un ironically? Still?
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Which part playing the music?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Yeah, they still think it's funny.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
And like, are there stations in Los Angeles that will
open a newscast with this?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Still? Oh you have no idea?
Speaker 6 (03:20):
Really?
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Oh they're gonna go crazy.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Today's temperature, the high temperatures are supposed to be something
like eighteen to twenty degrees above normal, which is I love,
I love the heat, Bring on the heat, I love,
I love hot days. It's gonna be the hottest day
of the year so far, and in about two weeks
will go Remember the good old days when it was
barely ninety.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yesterday it was summer like, it was beautiful, it was
so much nice. I was like, I love summer was
hots just got open up, the windows, got some lavender.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
It's the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
We have a plant in the backyard that when it
like it hits eighty two degrees and you could smell
it jazz, not jasmine.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
It's one of those flowery plants.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
That's how you know, and that's.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
How you know it's okay. There it is. That's a
vega exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
And then it's going to drop down to normal back
like by Thursday, it's going to be down upper sixties again.
So do not switch over your your heat pump to
air conditioner just yet because it's going to take some time.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
So when is winter coming back, Probably.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Well it's not.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
It's still going to be beautiful, but it's going to
be sixty eight and beautiful as opposed to.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Eighty eight and beautiful. So I don't know how people
react to those types of times.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Too hot and.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
It's fifty bucks Grandpa for seventy five. The wife can watch.
It's the thirty fifth anniversary of Pretty. That's my favorite quote.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I don't think I ever saw, well, I did see
the complete movie.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
I think I have seen the company.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
I've seen it probably seventy five thousand times. It's a
great movie.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I think that was the one that was a movie
where exceptional I realized that they do body doubles for
nude scenes. Oh really, Julia Roberts made a big deal
out of the fact that that was not her body
in some of those shots. Oh and I remember thinking,
what I don't.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Even remember nude scenes.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Well, it wasn't like full on like White Lotus kind
of nude scene. It was more of it.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
But here's a penis tasteful, which that wasn't even a
real penis.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I haven't seen it. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
I got I got semi yelled at last night by
my wife who was talking to her brother on the phone,
and he was asking her if we had been watching
White Lotus, and she said, well, no, Gary hasn't watched
any of it. I haven't seen the first or second season,
so why would I jump in on the third. It
doesn't matter And then she said something like he doesn't
(06:02):
know what he's missing. And I'm like, I see every
Monday when the pre you know, the morning after the
previous episode about who's Jojo is flying out and who's
Johnson is real or not real?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
And I've never referred I've never heard a penis referred
to as a jojo like a kangaroo.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Is that what, baby?
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Joey?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Oh, Joey, Yeah, what's a jojo?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I mean we interviewed on the radio Trader Joe, So
you just did you make something up? Calling not because
I should probably change it and come up with some
other one. If you have pet names for penises, that's
something new.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
This is this is this is this is.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Here's a great story out of the the c I,
A U, and JFK files that came out. Everybody's grandpa
worked for the CIA level point.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
I love it. Grandpa always seemed like he was up
to something, didn't he.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Yes, he did.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
The Dows have five hundred points right now, SMP five
hundred is up ninety six, Nasdaq has up three hundred
and seventy six. All of this potentially because there is
a report that President Trump may hold back from implementing
some of the wide ranging tariff plans supposed to come
up next week. A guy arrested in charge with assault
(07:19):
for driving his car towards a group of people that
were protesting outside of a Tesla dealership in Florida. He
didn't hit anybody, He went pretty slow. There are all
a couple of people. I think the report out of
one of the Florida TV stations in West Palm Beach
was we had to move out of the way of
(07:40):
the car, and they felt like that that was a Greek.
The guy says he lost his breaks whatever it was,
no injuries.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
We've all had to move out of the way.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
He has been arrested and charge.
Speaker 1 (07:52):

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Our plan, by the way tomorrow is to be talking
with David vasse O. Right, I've heard that before. Yeah,
I know you should be in this time zone though tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
He was on with other people when he was in Japan.
He totally blew us off, and there's gonna have to
be a conversation, which I'll let this go because we've
got to move forward without resentment.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Right, he was on wake Up Call.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
He was on literally everybody's show but ours, and he
confirmed with us like a week before he was coming
on the show too, and I just think he blew
He was just like I don't feel like doing it.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I don't feel like getting up or I don't feel
like staying up or whatever.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
And that's fine, but like it made me take a
look at us, like what is.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Wrong with us?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Us? Because like, okay, this is where I put myself.
If I was covering the Chargers, for instance, and I got.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Booked on a show, which I do.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
I do hits on shows on sports stations in other
cities all the time, and I would never blow them off.
There's times when I've wanted to blow them off something
else is going on because it's weird times of day
and things like that. But like I was thinking, like
if it was like Petro's and money, which doesn't make
any sense.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
But let's just say it was Petros's money that I
was booked for.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I would never blow them off because it's Pedro's and money.
They're like the brothers down the hall. They're people that
I've known for five hundred years.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Because when Dave Assay walks in here, I mean it
comes in, especially in baseball season. He's in studio many
times exactly, he's gonna have to look right at us
and say, I blew you off.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Well, And it's not just that, it's like that, I
consider them my friends. I can seer of Assay a friend.
And so suddenly, no, no, what do you think that?
I guess we're not.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Seventy seven thousand pages related to the nineteen sixty three
assassination of JFK haven't really given us a lot of
bombshells in terms of the actual assassination. But with all
of the redactions that were lifted in this latest thing
that came out, this latest group of documents that came out,
people are finding out that grandpa worked for the CIA.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
John Smith is one of them.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
The news sure his name is true of course, it's
John Smith, right, yeah, right. The news of his grandfather's
work came in the form, they say, of two short
pages that could easily be missed amid the avalanche of papers,
a newly unredacted account from nineteen ninety one of E. B.
Smith pressing a KGB official for Soviet intelligence related to
(10:37):
Kennedy's killing. John Smith is forty five years old, he says, Sure,
it's surprising he learned from a Washington Post reporter of
his grandparent father's appearance in the files, he says, but
in hindsight it made sense. His grandfather was an outgoing
guy who had lived in the Soviet Union. He had
made connections there even after he moved back to the US.
(10:58):
He had gone to the Soviet un as a full
bright professor at Moscow State University in seventy six. He
struck up a friendship with a student named Slava Nikoov.
Nikonov was from a storied Soviet family. His grandfather was
Stalin's foreign minister, who happened to be the namesake of
the Molotov cocktail. The two kept in touch, and then
(11:20):
by nineteen ninety one, when EB Smith took a trip
to Moscow. Molotov, or I should say Molotov's grandson was
a high ranking KGB official who had been tasked with
helping to thaw the relations between the KGB and the CIA.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
So that's where that relationship went to.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
The memo describes Eb Smith's efforts to learn from him
about the Soviets ties to Lee Harvey Oswald.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Smith actually said he found after Grandpa died about thirteen
years ago. Twelve years ago, said they found a picture
of Grandpa with Kennedy in the Oval office, which they
had already cherished as a family but now that they
know the connection of Grandpa, eb went and tried to
find more information about Kennedy's assassination. Obviously it means it
(12:12):
means more to the family now than it did.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Dorothy North seventy six. She's from California. She learned this
week that her late husband had been an intelligence asset
for the CIA. A reporter called the House on One
File described her late husband as a longtime source of
exceptional value.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
She said, it is a shock.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
He never mentioned before or after they married in nineteen
seventy seven that he had previously worked alongside the CIA.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I had thoughts I still do entertain some thoughts that
my dad may have been involved in some very very
top secret stuff for the Navy, because he referred to
stories kind of vaguely about late sixties, you know, Cold
War is heating up, and guys would come into his
(12:59):
lab at the Naval Shipyard, no identification, all of them
in suits. They'd have a briefcase and they'd take it
to the chem lab the physical science lab, and they'd say,
tell us what this is, and it's a chunk of something.
It's a chunk of they he never knew what it was.
He just had to tell now, he had to tell
them what the chemical makeup of this thing was, whatever
(13:21):
this material was. And it kind of pieced later that
it was right around the same time that the United
States had pulled a Russian submarine off the floor of
the Pacific Ocean and then tried to reverse engineer sort
of a stealth material that they were using for the
walls of their submarines.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
It I'm sure that's so cool.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I bet your daughter loves hearing stories like that. Yeah,
like what is this? And like she was like the
one who could break down, or he was the one
that could break down, Like like what this.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Type of and is it brand new?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Do they visit yeah?
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Us.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Didn't you also think that your dad was involved with
the Zodiac Oh yeah, he said.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
He he was friends with the guy who was on
the shortlist of Zodiac killers.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Your dad was like Jesus, you know, he made friends
with a lot of undesirables.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Snow White turned into a big pilot turd. Apparently for Disney.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
It cost them two hundred and fifty million dollars to
make this new snow White movie. It only made forty
three million dollars over the weekend, which, well, there's like
a lot of money.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
But man, they.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Stopped advertising it. And I had heard from someone, Oh,
did they stop advertising it because it's a female who's
a Latina who is in the lead and diversity is
not cool anymore?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
And I'm like, what, No, it's the opposite.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
It's that they had this weird Palestinian Israeli conflict between
the two leads and then the midgets got involved. So
it's just like, this was a PR disaster, And why
didn't bring in like a PR crisis firm from Hollywood
just to fix everything mid promotional tour? I don't get
because it would have saved you probably a lot.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Of money on the back end. It should because Heather,
it was in here on Friday or Thursday.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Good movie.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
See it was a good movie. It looks beautiful. I
watched the trailer.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
It looks beautifully done, like in the vein of Wicked
and just a beautifully just a beautiful presentation.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
There is a group of American officials that are headed
to Greenland later this week. Of course, Greenland is a
President Trump has had his eyes on Greenland for some time.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
This was back at the beginning of the year.
Speaker 6 (15:37):
We need Greenland for national security purposes. I've been told
that for a long time, long before I even ran.
I mean, people have been talking about it for a
long time. You have approximately forty five thousand people there.
People really don't even know if Denmark has an illegal
right to it, but if they do, they should give
it up because we needed for national security. That's for
(15:58):
the free world. I'm talking about detecting the free world.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
So Thursday, the Energy Secretary Chris Wright, National Security Advisor
Mike Walls, and Second Lady Usha Vance and also.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Coming to celebrate the long history of mutual respect and
cooperation between our nations and to express hope that our
relationship will only grow stronger in the coming years.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Again, President Trump, during that addressed to Congress a couple
of weeks ago, it said, we'll get Greenland somehow. We
have no idea how he plans to do it, but
there is at least one military base in the area.
That area is they call it growing when it comes
to geopolitical importance. Geographically, it's in an important spot for us,
(16:47):
the United States as.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
An ally, not an asset. I believe is yes, is.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
The way that we like to say it.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
But in the event that something does happen and the
proverbial excrement hits the oscillation, then we're going to have
to have some pretty robust resources in that spot.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
But isn't that something that they would allow us to
do if we maintained a decent friendship with them? Probably yes, yeah,
as long as we hate them. Same thing with Canada.
Who knew the Canadians hated us so much? Well, this
is bringing it out. Canada prides itself, who knew on
not being America? Canada prides itself on not being American
(17:26):
All this time They've been thumbing their nose at all
things American. And who knew until I don't know. Trump
said be our fifty first state, and they said, we
hate you. Absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Yeah, but I think they hate him.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Ah, that's not what I've been reading.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Really.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I mean they love that they are not this, and
I think a lot of that's jealousy. It's kind of
like the Mariners loving that they're not the Yankees.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
I love.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I don't have to wear the pinstripes. I would hate
all that winning.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Did you see there are a couple portrait issues with
Trump going on right now.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
The whole Putin having Trump's portrait done to me was
so indicative of our conversation last week about Putin knowing
how to play Trump, or seemingly knowing how to play
Trump if he is or if he isn't, I don't know,
but that he gives Trump what he needs and the
way that Zelensky didn't in the Oval office, Putin does know.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
How to play that game.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Steve Whitkoff is the envoy for Russia Ukraine relations right
now and is supposedly helping broker some sort of a
ceasefire deal. Witkoff said that Vladimir Putin gave him a
quote beautiful portrait of Trump that Putin had commissioned by
a leading Russian artist, and that he asked that Witkoff
take the painting back to the White House.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Trump was clearly touched by it.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Sharing this story as part of a broader conversation, he said, so,
this is the kind of connection that we've been able
to re establish through a simple word called communication. Witkoff
is echoing his boss when it comes to the language
that he choosing to use.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Now.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
The other one is in Colorado in the state capitol.
They have a series of portraits of presidents and there's
there's I don't know why they're next to each other,
but Barack Obama is up on the wall next to
one of President Trump. Barack Obama looks young, it's early
on in his presidency because there's not a lick of
(19:23):
gray hair on his head.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
So young.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
And then there's Trump who looks like he was inflated
about ten PSI over the max.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
I mean, he just looks bloated. And Trump was like,
take it down. I don't want that. That's an ugly picture.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
He looks great. Why do I look all puffy? It was,
that's funny, such a funny, and he's begging. I think
Jared Polis is the governor there in Colorado. He's asking
Governor Polis.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I thought that the official portrait. I mean, like I'm
thinking about George w who we saw everywhere. Maybe it
was because of nine to eleven, maybe not, but how
they had the official portrait, now that was the one
used in state houses and for every.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Proscut everywhere, and that they had to okay it.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
This is just a this is just a painting.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Yeah, it's just interesting.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Return of the Max singer Mark Morrison has gotten busted
on a battery charge.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
Guys.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Apparently he hit the GM of a swanky restaurant at
Lebara Vin and Palm Beach. Oh yeah, it's unfortunate.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
All right.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Oh did you hear a podcast over the weekend.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
I was there when we recorded it.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
You were, I was huh, yeah, Well I have something
to give you.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Oh God, all right, Garry and Channing will continue.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
I won't rub it on your face, thank you. Jacob.
How is Japan?
Speaker 5 (20:49):
Oh it was amazing. I miss it already.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
I bet what was your favorite? What were your three
favorite things about it? Food or just everything?
Speaker 5 (21:00):
Food is a lot better over there, yeah, just everything
to the train. The commute, Like I was telling Kean,
like I would probably commute over there to work if
I lived over there. Yeah, because it's amazing. You can
get anywhere by train. You don't get stabbed on the train.
You don't get robbed on the train. Wait, a lot
of stabbed or robbed on the train here? No, there, no,
(21:20):
not that.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Do you get peede on at least?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
No?
Speaker 5 (21:23):
Not even pete?
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Why do you take the train?
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Why wouldn't you take the train?
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Is there anyone passed out on fentanyl on the train?
Speaker 5 (21:30):
I saw a couple of drunk people in the Red
Light district in the morning, just drunk, right, they were
just drunken people. Give them water bottles.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Now, what was your food?
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Do you?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I saw you.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
I was stalking you on Instagram. So you you did
the rama and you did the sushi. You you went
to the Michelin pizza place.
Speaker 5 (21:49):
Oh, the pizza was amazing. It's kind of weird. Do
you go to Japan for pizza? But they do it
in a different way and it's so good. Sushi was good,
but I wouldn't say it was like out of this world.
It's just very fresh. Romen was very good. I would
I would say two of the spots were my favorite
spots over there for Ramen.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Yeah, did you see any of the gardens in the cities?
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Yeah, there's so many shrines that you'll you don't even
know that they're on your list, and you'll just be
walking and all of a sudden you're in the middle
of a shrine. Right.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
So it's really cool though, But cities are amazing. I
loved Kyoto a lot. That one has a lot of
shrines and temples, but it's I've noticed that Japan is
just so packed to tourism.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Now, is there anything to see outside the cities? I mean,
did you do I didn't.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
We didn't do any day trips outside of the cities,
but we did go to just kind of like some
of the temples, and like, if you get there early
in the morning, it's less crowded, but if you go
after ten, it's a done deal dealing with several hundred people.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
And the tourists there, are they Americans.
Speaker 5 (22:49):
Or well we saw a good amount of Americans because
of the Dodger game, but a lot of them did
not have tickets to the game. And we did go
to the pop up merch shop at the dome, which
was insanity too. People were pushing and shoving for gear.
But there was a lot of like Asian tourists from
like China, the Philippines, Korea.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
That's cool.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Yeah, did you end up going to the other venue
to watch the game?
Speaker 5 (23:15):
There was a watch party at the I think it
was called the Tokyo Skytree, and it was It was outside,
but it started to rain and it was like fifty
to forty degrees.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
So I was like, no, I watched ten minutes and
then we went inside.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Oh smart.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Yeah, and then it snowed one day too rain. Oh
my gosh. Yeah. I look outside and it was raining
and then it started to snow. It snowed for like
probably two hours.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Oh wow, that's magical.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Though we had all the seasons there, rain, shine, snow.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Oh, that's so cool.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
It was really cool.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
How long that was? Eight days?
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Nine full days?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Nine days?
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Yeah, did you propose?
Speaker 4 (23:49):
I did not know.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
I remember my husband took me to Spain when we
had been dating three years. It's around the same time
that you've been dating Nicole, and we were in Madrid
and it snowed unseasonably. It was beautiful, and I thought, oh,
and it was Valentine's Day too, and I thought, what
a time to propose.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Nothing Still nothing.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
See sorry, Jacob.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
If I'd known that was coming, I would have tried
to put an end to it.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
I almost want to hit the idea earlier.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
But that's so magical, though, isn't it Like you're on vacation.
It's just starts snowing, right, that's so cool.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
You ever to see a Mount Fuji to train, which
that in itself was an experience bullet train. It was
two hours, but it goes by so fast. I just
wanted to stay on the train totally. I love they're
so peaceful. Yeah, their bathrooms are really nice.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah, everything's so clean and on time. And I like
to eat on those trains too.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
The train. Eating on the train was the best thing
because you have a compartment tray that's in the arm seat,
and then there's one in front of you, and then there's
a foot rest.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
It's a whole thing, and they think of everything.
Speaker 5 (24:54):
There's one foot rest that you could put your shoes on,
and then one if you flip it over to take
off your shoes and put your socks on.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Like yeah, I think of everything, But you're not supposed
to show the bottom of your foot in Japan.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
No, very everybody keeps there their socks on.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Yeah, well welcome back.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Oh and also no PDAs in Japan. Did you hear
that they're very conservative? Yes, Like I remember at one
point when we were there, and I like, because you
know me, I'm a freaking disaster of a human, and
so like I went to kiss my husband I think
we were on a train, and he was like kind
of pushing me, and he was like, it's very rude
(25:35):
to have PDAs in Japan.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
No eating or drinking on trains, right, unless unless you're
on the bullet train and you purchase a seat, then
you can eat and drink. But if you're on a
regular like subway or you know, any Amtrak train, no
eating or drinking. Really. Yeah, the look at you weird.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Yeah, it's a polite thing.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Trash.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
You better hold onto your trash all day to.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Put it in your pocket.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Yeah, we're with you, weird, PDA, you're in fentanyl monsters
