Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to k IF.
I am six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I just want to say hello to everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Is that what you want to do?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I do? I want to say hello to everybody, happy independent,
Hello everybody, and have fun at the parade today.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I'm not going to the parade, you.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I just I'm talking to them, those people. I am
so well by the parade. We're out today.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
It's a it's a funny spot because I went to
the county fair last night. I had then had the
funnel cake. I inhaled a funnel cake like that funnel
cake had no chance to survive. My brother goes, hey,
there's a tape we get our funnel cakes. He goes, oh,
I see a table over there we can sit. I
said this, this thing ain't making it to the table,
(00:52):
you silly man.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
You might want to lay a towel down right now,
because I'm going to eat this thing right here.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I'm not sitting down, silly pants. But rode the ferris wheel,
did the fireworks. It was a great time. Get home
and my mom is talking to my husband, Oh about
the parade tomorrow, and I'm like, yeah, you want to
go to the parade, And I'm like, hell no, I
don't want to go to the parade. And then someone goes, oh,
you have to work, and I go, oh, that's right,
(01:20):
I gotta work. I can't go to the parade.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Why would you pooh pooh a parade. I don't like
a parade. I don't like the crowds. I don't like
the happiness, the smiles.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Not even the celebration of our independence. You don't You
can't slack.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Celebrating our independence by myself in the backyard with like
a hamburger and the sunshine. I don't like parking. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
This is the thing I realized today because my wife
is planning on going to a parade this morning without
me because she doesn't have to work today, and we do.
But I'm not sure but she work, that's true. We
did choose to work because I mean, I don't know.
This is one of those things, especially because listen, to
(02:07):
be honest, have great hours for a Fourth of July holiday, right,
most of the Fourth of July stuff happens in the
afternoon in the evening anyway, So we might as well,
and we could talk to people who are also celebrating
the fourth time.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I like hanging out with our guests family on holidays.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
But I realized this is to be uber personal here
for a second. This is a one of the hard holidays.
You and I both lost fathers in the last couple
of years, and this was one of the holidays where
we would consistently spend it my family, and we would
spend it with my parents at their place in central California,
(02:48):
and one of my mom loved those safe, insane fireworks,
absolutely loved them. My dad liked to dip into the
less than safe and quite insane fireworks every once in
a while just to scare people. My uncle always had
a massive amount of illegal fireworks that were at the
(03:11):
ready every time we would do Fourth of July, and
it was just the barbecue thing and you know, the
hanging out, and it was always way too hot, and
it was bringing back a dozen years worth of memories
today driving to work thinking about what other things I
would do on the Fourth of July. So this is
it's a weird one. And then my wife last night asked,
(03:33):
She's like, what are we going to do for Fourth
of July, and I said, I don't know. I don't
think we need to do a whole lot of anything.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Well, you can go watch. You've got fireworks up there,
don't you. We do.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
There are fireworks that I know of that that we'll
see sort of in the neighborhood. I'm just not sure
if we're at the right Some houses in our neighborhood
you could see them right outside your front door, but
I don't know if we're situated correctly, because again I
haven't for we've been in this house for nine years,
I think nine fourths of July. I don't know if
(04:05):
I've ever seen the fireworks because for many years the
HOA or whoever it was, because we were up with
my parents, So I don't even know if you could
see them from my house.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So no, you probably have to go. You should go somewhere.
They probably have them in your town somewhere or around there.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I think they're doing them at the mall as well.
Assuming Magic Mountain, we'll probably have some.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Fire exactly, so it might be fun.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Might be Yeah, please do that though they're so sweet. Yeah,
thank you for wanting me to see your fireworks.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
That would be lovely. I think I think that that
would be special for you to see fireworks.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
So anyway, that's what do you eat on the fourth
of July? Do you have a regular menu Fourth of
July menu? I mean besides funnel cakes.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
My mother just said that to me, what are we
going to do for food today? Should we get Should
I get a grill so we can? And I was like, no,
We've got plenty of food in the frigerator. And that
did not satisfy her, because I think everybody wants like
a special Fourth of July food, like a food event,
whether it be like grilling hot dogs or hamburgers or
what have you. I mean, I like all that stuff.
I had a corn dog last night that was delicious.
(05:13):
That's a fair food.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Well it was your birthday, so so what my birthday
goes hand in hand with a corn dog? I don't know.
I'm just I'm trying to make excuses for you em.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
You know, I was thinking about my dead father yesterday
as well, and I was thinking, God, he hated all
this s he hated the fair, he hates parades. Your
mother wants to go to the ged parade. Can you
believe that I've got more of him and me and
when it comes to parades than anything else. So I
like that your parents bring the niceness and the festivities.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Producer Keana had what were you going to say?
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Elmer and I were just talking about like what we
want today for food, and I was like, oh, like
a brisket and try tip and like smoked ribs that
fall off the bone like that.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
That just sounds so good. Big, We're totally late for
all of those things, Like those are things we should
have started yesterday or the day before.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Big old thing of beans. Beans been on the stove
for like, you know, nine hours'd be.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
A little bacon and the beans.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
My mom would always have the kind that had brown
sugar and pineapple in it too.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Uh huh, I've never heard of pineapple.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Oh it's so good, sweet with your salt, so good,
so sweet, so good. And then macaroni salad. My dad
used to make a macaroni salad that had nothing in
it but bad stuff that was so good.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I mean, I will really roll the dice on the
fourth of July for a macaroni salad. I don't care
if it's been sitting out in the sun for an
hour and a half.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I will neil doing talking about food safety on the
fourth of July. If it's been out for ninety degrees,
you gotta he.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Talked about food safety. There is no good safety today.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
That's what makes this country what it is. It's a
willingness to dip into that potato salad that's been sitting
out on Aunt Margaret's picnic table in ninety four degree
heat for the last seven hours.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Aunt Margaret's mayonnaise has been in the fridge since nineteen
seventy eight, and I'm here for it. Give me all
of Aunt Margaret's bad mayonnaise on the fourth of July,
on the fifth of July day. But today we are
stronger than bad mayonnaise. We're stronger than the sun because
we are Americans.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Hey, don't worry. If Aunt Margaret's hot dogs have been
in the freezer for the last two years, Pop those
things out, thaw the doggies out, throw them on a
hot grill, burn all the germs off of them, and
then stick them in your freedom hole.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Aunt Margaret may be missing two and a half limbs,
but that doesn't mean that her expired food is not delicious.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Aunt Margaret smokes four packs a day. You think a
little bad potato salad's going to take her out. No,
Aunt Margaret is American.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Aunt Margaret's breath may smell like she's down a couple organs.
Oh what, she can really f up a potato salad.
And that's what I'm here for today.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Let us know what's on your menu today for the
fourth of July holiday. You could leave us a talk
back when you're listening on the app. Make sure you
start by saying Happy Independence Day. But you can just
hit that little red button with a white microphone on it.
Let us know what it is that you are celebrating
on Independence Day and how you celebrate Independence Day.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I just realized I have an Aunt Maggie, who is
beautiful and wonderful and has never poisoned me for food,
and is.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Probably not a beach not a fourth pack a day
smoker or something.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
He doesn't smoke. She's in great shape. And now I
feel bad about the point MP Margaret thing, but you
started it.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah, but she's also an American. She is an American,
and that's what we're celebrating today.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I like that we're not going to talk about any
real news today.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Well there is some Sean, are.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
We really going to talk about it because I saw
a little bit of real news and that we're just
gonna milk people like Michael Monks and Heather Brooker and
just have a good time today.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
And I kind of like that, Well, we have the
freedom to do that today.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Yeah, You're damn right, we do.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, but at least we're at work.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Caitlin Jenner's friend Slash manager Slash was there something going
on at some point died? Sophia Hutchins.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I saw this story about the accident, but only today
did I see who it was.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, she died in this ATV accident yesterday, no, Wednesday morning,
and they just got footage TMZD of the crash site there.
She was pronounced dead at the scene in Malibu after
she swiped the bumper of a vehicle with her ATV
and was thrown three hundred and fifty feet down into
(09:54):
a ravine. Apparently there was footage of the aftermath of
the crash k cow before she was identified. It's a
blue ATV and it kind of shows it resting atop
an upside down vehicle that had previously crashed in the
same spot, so it looks like just an old car
that they never retrieved, that you know, crashed down there
(10:17):
years ago. But anyway, she's just twenty nine years old.
And when Kitlyn Jenner made the transition, the two of
them were inseparable. Sophia had also made a transition, and
so the two were kind of like it was like
kind of like Caitlyn Jenner's like younger galpal that would
(10:38):
teach her the ways of the new life, shall we say.
And they did videos together and they were posting all
the time, and and I think they were linked at
one point. They were living together at one point. Anyway,
so they say that Kitlyn Jenner's longtime friend and manager,
but dead at twenty nine years old.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
It is a holiday, but firefight. They're still working that
Madre fire up in Santa Barbaras anels Obispo Counties. It's
at fifty two and a half thousand acres. This is
kind of fire behavior we don't see. I know, it's
obviously it's July, so it's hot, but usually we don't
see that kind of explosive fire behavior until late August
(11:19):
September October there were also fire works that blew up
last night in Pacoima. Four homes caught fire and one
woman was killed. There was a detonation yesterday of fireworks
at a home in Siam Valley where one person was killed.
Fire crews found twenty five tons of illegal fireworks at
(11:40):
a home in Main Street in Southgate, and we're still
looking for seven people after that massive explosion that engulfed
a warehouse holding fireworks up in Yolo County in northern California.
Because of that, I mentioned that there were several cities
that have had to cancel their fireworks displays because that's
where their fireworks were being Still, the fireworks that were
(12:01):
supposed to take place at the ubis Utter Fairgrounds, fireworks
shows in Cloverdale, in Chico, in San Jose have all
had to be canceled because their fireworks blew up Tuesday night.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
So be careful tonight when you go crazy.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yeah, when you go blowing your hand off, just remember
we told you not to blow your hand off. People
are responding to what they're doing on this Fourth of July.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
Guy, I'm an immigrant, proud immigrant of this country, Love
this country. And what do you eat? Fourth of July?
Come on, burgers and Burgers Classic. Come on, that is true.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
All I want to do is party with Aunt Margaret.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Why won't anybody let me party with Aunt Margaret?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
You can party with Aunt Margaret all you want. You
just got to find her first.
Speaker 7 (12:46):
Happy Independence Day, Gary and Shannon oh Man, your little
Aunt Margaret speech. I'm ready. I'm ready. As a matter of fact,
the literal thing that came to mind as you were
talking and going, what do I want today? What the
do I want today? I'm gonna go grab a damn cigar.
I want to smoke a cigar in my backyard. And
my wife's going to tell me no, no, no, no, I'm
(13:08):
gonna say, you know what.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
There's the damn door.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I would love a cigar today.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Well, what's preventing you from getting a cigar?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
I don't know. I feel like, you know, I didn't
quit cigarettes to just jump into cigars. I guess.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Well, I feel I feel like if I have a
cigar today, it could become like a once a day
habit where now I'm a cigar woman. No, and I
sign off on the show, I get in my truck
and I light up a cigar on the way home.
At one oh five pm.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I don't think that's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Every day, you know. And then I'm a cigar person.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Yeah I don't. I don't think that's gonna Do.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
You think I could have one? Just one?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I think you'd have one and you'd be like, you
know what, It's probably not what I thought it was
going to be.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
It's the idea.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
First couple of puffs on a cigar, fantastic, big glass,
a big old just scotch next to it. Perfect. But
that lasts for me for like five minutes, and then
I'm like, okay.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah, the idea of it's fun, especially like when you're
a dude, it's not as fun when you're a woman.
It doesn't have the same genna se quaw.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
It's great on the golf course you're out and about,
like there's all of that, But if you're just gonna
sit there, it's got a it's got a short shelf
life for me, but I do enjoy it. You got
to you gotta see my pace.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
My problem is I am going to inhale, you know,
and then I get the cancer right away with one
one puff of that thing.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
That's what you're worried about?
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Cancer?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, Well, I mean not to not worry about cancer.
That's that.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah, it's one of the things that happened.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Just that that you're smoking a cigar, You're like cancer.
Never mind, never mind, I gotta put this thing out.
Spent fourteen bucks on a good cigar and now I
can't even team bucks.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I don't know how much for one of those ones
that's like, you know, a couple hundred dollars a hundred. Yeah,
I went like a Cuban. I don't even know what
I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
It doesn't sound that. Hey, today the President is going
to sign that big, beautiful bill. Two o'clock, I believe
is the is the signing ceremony. It's going to be
at the White House. Some of the Republican members of
Congress who voted for it are expected to be there
again two o'clock. They're going to do a picnic I believe,
(15:30):
on the White House grounds for a bunch of veterans
today in active duty military. And then I believe he's
spent in the rest of the weekend up in New
Jersey on a golf course.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Uh. Yeah, it looks like the big thing is the
tax cuts, A lot of tax cuts. The heart of
the bill roughly for trillion dollar tax cut and without
the extension, this was the one that Republicans passed in
twenty seventeen. Without this extension, most Americans would see a
tax increase, which nobody likes. And that's what's going to
(16:02):
add to the deficit. That's going to add the three
point three trillion in the national debt over the next decade.
But you're probably going to get a tax cut, a
noticeable one too, from the weeds that I was parsing
earlier this morning. But it's gonna be paid for with
an extension of the debt, as well as social programs Medicare, Medicaid,
(16:25):
I Believe, and the food stamp program, asking more of
people that get those programs or the benefits of those programs.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Along their lines of taxes. Also, they're talking about the
no taxes on tips in overtime. You can deduct a
qualified overtime pay, although the deduction can't exceed twelve thousand,
five hundred qualified tips received during the year, although they
can't exceed twenty five thousand. Some other stipulations for both
of them, but that's going to be That was one
(16:54):
of the things that he campaigned on and I remember
when it came out. I mean he talked about no
tax on tips, and everybody's like, why would a president
be worried about that? Uh, because it resonates with a
lot of people. Here's Oh, I'm sorry, No, I was
just going to say that. I mean, that's one of
those simple messages that I think a lot of people
were drawn to that he was delivering.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
In California or you know, in state like California and
New York high tax state, you could also see a
big tax break because it raises the current cap on
the amount of state and local taxes, including property taxes
that you can write off on your federal tax return.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Yeah, that's that's a big deal. That was one of
those things that they were definitely fighting for, we know.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
So, yeah, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
We're asking what what you have planned for today? Maybe
what's what's on the menu for tonight, h Gary.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
And Shannon on our menu is going to be smoked
pulled pork on Hawaiian buns, law main course. But here
are the things that you can't have Fourth of July
without cold watermelon corn on the cops sliddered with butter
and salt and ruffles, potato chips with sour cream and onion.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Jyp Oh, my gosh, Hello, what the hell I'm coming over?
I need an address.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Happy fourth July. There, What I had was some microwave
chicken and threw that on two defrosted tortillas from the freezer.
You have the freedom to do whatever you choose. That's
that's right, that's what I heard.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Freedom.
Speaker 9 (18:38):
Happy Fourth of July, folks. Shannon Gary. I can't wait
to party with Aunt Margaret today. Guarantee.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I pulled that brush out in the.
Speaker 9 (18:48):
Back of my pocket and start brushing her hair right
there in front of everybody. Fireworks going on out, potato
salad being swung, bears being drunk hopped. Weenies, Oh yourware
that brush is coming.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Out hot, Doug Weenies.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I think that's a callback to our brushing hair comment.
I think he weighed in when we talked about the
hair brushing. He was a big fan of it. Yeah,
do you remember when I'm talking out?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I do remember what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I don't remember the context of the conversation.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
It was about somebody being romantic to have your.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Right here, right like brush your wife's hair or something.
And I said, the only time i want my husband
to brush my hair is if I'm in some sort
of center, like a mental or you know.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
It's going to be a wet fourth of July for
a lot of places. The fourth of July is going
to bring major flooding along the Guadalupe River in Texas.
Five to ten inches of rain fell overnight before sunrise,
in just the hours before the sun came up, and
they said it's a life threatening situation there. This is
an area that's just north of San Antonio, and they're
(19:58):
telling anybody who lives within a stone's throw of the Curveville, sorry,
the Guadalupe River in Currville to evacuate. That water, as
they said, already taken several streets in town and could
get more dangerous as the day goes by.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
So great, Now, I'm excited about your vacation. I'm excited
about your family trip. Is this you have? How many
family members are going on this trip?
Speaker 2 (20:23):
So I have you know what, let me count because
I've been telling people different numbers, and I do have
account and accounting. So one, two, three, four, five, six, fourteen,
it's eighteen twenty two four six, twenty seven total.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Oh my gosh, that is so much bigger than I
thought it was going to be.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, twenty seven total.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Twenty seven people, and now you're all staying in the
same area but not altogether, is that right?
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah, there's there's group that. One group has some condos
along part of Maui, and then we have an airbnb
nearby within walking distance allegedly. I mean, we'll kind of
see when we get there how what people's different definition
of walking distance is. But yeah, twenty seven people. Friends,
(21:11):
there's some friends, there's some cousins, there's an aunt, there's
like the in laws, and then my sisters and their
families and everything.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
So, you know what, that's big enough of a group too,
where you don't feel like you have to do everything
together because you can't possibly.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Well we actually it's funny. My sisters and I were
on a phone call last ar, a zoom call whatever
last night, and we had talked about, Okay, so some
people are going to do the zip line thing this day,
and then other people are going to do the snorkel
thing this day. There's only two things that we have
(21:44):
planned for. If you're there, you got to go. One
of them is the luau. We're all going to go
to one of the luaus together. And then the other
thing is we're all going to have one specific dinner
that's not luau at our place, at the airbnb that
we got because we have a pool in the backyard.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
So you're gonna have twenty seven people there.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I don't know if that's the full I don't remember
the math on that night that we chose to do
that dinner, but I have a bunch of people.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Oh my god, how fun. That is great. You're gonna
have such a wonderful time.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
We should it should be fun. We'll see. I was.
I was lamenting the fact I realized that I'm gonna
be there for the All Star Game, which is great
because my nephews are there and my my brother in law.
We can all sit and have a beer and watch
the All Star Game. But it's not going to start
until like nine o'clock, Hawaii time.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
You're outside.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Was like, I just did the math wrong. I went
the wrong way. It's gonna start at like two o'clock. Yeah, okay,
never mind.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
I'm happy now, But you're gonna be in Hawaii. You're
not gonna want to be watching television all the time.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Here's what I will want to do. I will one
of my favorite memories of being in Hawaii. This was many,
many years ago when my wife and I went for
our I guess it was our fifteenth anniversary. She and
I went to a restaurant and sat at the bar
and watched the Monday night football game between the Seahawks
and the Green Bay Packers. And I remember because it was,
(23:15):
you know, eighty degrees outside. We're sitting there having these
exotic cocktails watching this you know, this game being played
in a cold I don't remember if it was in
Green Bay or if it was in Seattle, but it
was cold because it was December, and we're watching it
while the you know, slight Hawaiian breeze is blowing through
the bar that we were sitting in.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
It really is one of the most comforting things you
can have as you're on vacation. It doesn't matter where
you are. It's happened to me in foreign country, Costa Rica.
I remember watching a forty nine er game in Costa Rica.
There's something really comforting about watching a football game or
a baseball game when you're away from home, and you
(23:57):
just want to feel like, you know, even if you're
having a great time or whatever, you just feel it
feels like you're at home watching that.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah. So, speaking of baseball, though, there is a pitcher
for Cleveland who has now been placed on leave and
is currently under investigation by Major League Baseball. There is
a betting integrity company that watches unusual bets being placed
on sports, and because of the influx of the way
(24:28):
that you can bet now with apps and everything on sports,
they've talked about something or there's a new category that
they referred to as micro bets down to at least
in baseball, down to what pitch is going to be thrown,
is it going to be a ball or a strike?
And there were two specific pitches that this guy through
(24:53):
that prompted an investigation. One of them was June fifteenth,
first pitch of the inning against the Mariners, first pitch,
missing low ball one to a Rosarina beginning the bottom
of the second end, okay. And the other one was
June twenty seventh against the Cardinals. Pedro Paz leads on
and it takes on that it's just a little bit
outside now. The guy says, it's just a little bit outside.
(25:16):
Both of those pitches were a foot off the plate,
and the first one actually bounced before it got to
the plate.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Obvious.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
The obvious, the assumption being this guy was tipping better
whoever is he owed money to or whatever that for
some reason, those two pitches had spikes of activity, the
first pitch in the second inning and the other one
was the first pitch in the third inning.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
How much does he make, Louis Ortiz.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
This is not a minor leaguer struggling. They've gotten a
bunch of minor leaguers or a bunch of guys that
play that you bet in the minor when they were
in the minors. But like you reach a certain salary,
you don't need to be throwing pitches, you know what
I mean, throwing pitches to make a couple extra bucks
unless there's major money in it for you.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Right, And that's kind of what they're doing. They're saying
that he's going to be on a leave until they
finished the investigation, which could take a couple of weeks.
But if he's found to have done this, he's out
of baseball forever.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
There's been a lot of people. There was about a
year ago that MLB put a lifetime ban against a
padres infielder for placing bets on baseball. Four other guys
got one year suspensions for gambling on baseball when they
were in the minors. Like I was saying, In February,
MLB fired an umpire widely recognized is the best ball
(26:45):
strike arbiter in the game, Pat Hoburg for sharing a
legal sports betting account with a friend who bet on
baseball and then deleting messages related to the investigation. It
is rampant, and how could it not be, How easy
it is to bet these days.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Especially again, you think there's seven hundred thousand pitches thrown
during a Major League Baseball season. How are they going
to notice the one pitch in that second inning or
the pitch at the top of the third inning. How
are they going to notice?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
And that's what he was thinking.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
They did. Somebody found it. We'll do terror in the Skies,
big travel weekend of course for fourth of July. Will
do T I T S when we come back to Gary.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Excuse me, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
It wants brisket at nine fifty four am.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
The monster is awake now, and we're a.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Monster so awake. You should hear it. It's so vocal.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
We're going to have to deal with it now. We
wanted to get into a couple of quick everybody's headed
to the airport probably or drive in or something like that,
so we wanted to do some terror in the skies.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
By zero and I or you are alert to day
off Roger, get off my plane, Roger Rogers.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
What's our victor?
Speaker 8 (27:58):
Victor?
Speaker 9 (27:59):
No I have with these mucky pipe and snakes on
his money?
Speaker 5 (28:06):
It's Gary and Shannon's terror in the skies on KF I.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Well, there were literal snakes on a plane. Australian domestic
flight had to be delayed for two hours after a
snake was found in the plane's cargo hold. Virgin Australia
flight from Melbourne found for Brisbane.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Why do you think that men? We were just talking
about this last night. My brother has one fear and
it's snakes. I feel like that's a man's thing that
you just are afraid of snake? Are you afraid of snakes?
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
You're not easy around? Snakes.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I can be startled by snakes, Like if I move
the garbage can and there's a rattlesnake, I will be
startled by it. But I'm not generally afraid of them, right,
Like I.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Don't know about afraid, but just kind of like you
don't like them, like get it away from me kind
of thing.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
I mean, I'm I've held snakes and messed around with snakes.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yeah, we're going to need to get a bunch of
snakes in the studio and just pile them on on
Gary like he's Brittany in a toxic video. And I
love to do it for Instagram. I held a python before.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Yeah, yeah, a picture I do?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Can we post it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
We used to. We used to get all kinds of
garter snakes around my house in Petaluma, which it doesn't
seem like that's where they would be, but we used
to get them and catch them and pick them up
and mess with them, mess with them.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
I mean, you know, are you a serial killer you
have in your background?
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I wasn't tying it in a nod or anything, but
I'd like put it on the fence and see if
it could climb off or what. I don't know, just
I was learning about nature. An American Airlines passenger snooping
on one of their seat neighbors forced a flight to
return to San Juan, Puerto Rico after reporting a potential
security concern. The American Airlines flight from San Juan to Dallas.
(29:59):
H said that someone had received a text message saying
r I p rest in peace and interpreted that as
a threat to the flight and again.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
For the love of God, get over yourself.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Someone's neighbor saw that text and then reported it to
the to the flight made another guy on Southwestern lige, Wait, yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
We cannot just race past that. There are overly nosy
people on flights.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Yeah, like that guy, People who you.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Know you're on your phone or you're texting. So many
people looking over Now I that said, I have done this,
Like I'm curious individual, and like if somebody's reading a book,
I have to know what book it is. I look
over and then I feel bad that I'm nosy. But
does everybody do this where you're just fat, Like what's
that person watching? What are they reading? What's going on?
Is that work? What does that spreadsheet? What does that
(30:54):
person do? I'm so guilty of this, but yet horrified
when if anyone would would be looking at my text
messages or what I'm doing looking at the news.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Well, you are in very close quarters, so it's hard
not to kind of. It doesn't take much for your
eyes to divert to someone else's activity whatever that is,
their their phone or their book or whatever.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
So but sometimes I'll be like, oh, I don't know
about that book. I'll let me google it, and it's well, why.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Don't you just ask the person who's sitting next to
you about their book, because then.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
That opens up a conversation that I'm not ready to have.
For an hour and a half, you're willing to snoop.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
You just don't want to talk to them. Yes, there
was a Southwest flight Baltimore to Denver earlier this week,
and somebody said that his seat mate neighbor whipped out
a steel box with a bunch of bottles inside, which
he said seemed innocent enough at first, until he used
his dunkin Donuts loyalty card to start cutting up lines
(31:50):
of cocaine and then rolled up a high end five
dollars bill to blow it into the old booger locker.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Ah, this will be a fun talk back. What is
your favorite card that you use to crush and cut
up lines of cocaine? I would venture that the dunkin
Donuts loyalty card would not be high up on my
list of cards. You gotta find a durable one, you know,
you got to find Yeah, you don't have a black card,
but something durable, not just something that's flimsy. And furthermore,
(32:22):
a five is way too long small of a denomination.
A lot of people have touched a five. That's why
you got to go for like the hundreds. Fewer people
have touched one hundred. If few people have touched a
fifty or twenty. When you start rolling up ones and fives,
that's really dirty. That's some dirty stuff you're doing that
cocaine with.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I would use my my loyalty card from Green Valley
Ranch Resort and Spa in Henderson.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
That sounds like a fun weekend with you. I'm not
gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Okay, Well, there you go. Up next, our favorite Michael
Monks is going to join us right here on Carrie.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Kids can't do them anymore.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
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 ap
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to k IF.
I am six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I just want to say hello to everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Is that what you want to do?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I do? I want to say hello to everybody, happy independent,
Hello everybody, and have fun at the parade today.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I'm not going to the parade, you.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I just I'm talking to them, those people. I am
so well by the parade. We're out today.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
It's a it's a funny spot because I went to
the county fair last night. I had then had the
funnel cake. I inhaled a funnel cake like that funnel
cake had no chance to survive. My brother goes, hey,
there's a tape we get our funnel cakes. He goes, oh,
I see a table over there we can sit. I
said this, this thing ain't making it to the table,
(00:52):
you silly man.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
You might want to lay a towel down right now,
because I'm going to eat this thing right here.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I'm not sitting down, silly pants. But rode the ferris wheel,
did the fireworks. It was a great time. Get home
and my mom is talking to my husband, Oh about
the parade tomorrow, and I'm like, yeah, you want to
go to the parade, And I'm like, hell no, I
don't want to go to the parade. And then someone goes, oh,
you have to work, and I go, oh, that's right,
(01:20):
I gotta work. I can't go to the parade.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Why would you pooh pooh a parade. I don't like
a parade. I don't like the crowds. I don't like
the happiness, the smiles.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Not even the celebration of our independence. You don't You
can't slack.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Celebrating our independence by myself in the backyard with like
a hamburger and the sunshine. I don't like parking. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
This is the thing I realized today because my wife
is planning on going to a parade this morning without
me because she doesn't have to work today, and we do.
But I'm not sure but she work, that's true. We
did choose to work because I mean, I don't know.
This is one of those things, especially because listen, to
(02:07):
be honest, have great hours for a Fourth of July holiday, right,
most of the Fourth of July stuff happens in the
afternoon in the evening anyway, So we might as well,
and we could talk to people who are also celebrating
the fourth time.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
I like hanging out with our guests family on holidays.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
But I realized this is to be uber personal here
for a second. This is a one of the hard holidays.
You and I both lost fathers in the last couple
of years, and this was one of the holidays where
we would consistently spend it my family, and we would
spend it with my parents at their place in central California,
(02:48):
and one of my mom loved those safe, insane fireworks,
absolutely loved them. My dad liked to dip into the
less than safe and quite insane fireworks every once in
a while just to scare people. My uncle always had
a massive amount of illegal fireworks that were at the
(03:11):
ready every time we would do Fourth of July, and
it was just the barbecue thing and you know, the
hanging out, and it was always way too hot, and
it was bringing back a dozen years worth of memories
today driving to work thinking about what other things I
would do on the Fourth of July. So this is
it's a weird one. And then my wife last night asked,
(03:33):
She's like, what are we going to do for Fourth
of July, and I said, I don't know. I don't
think we need to do a whole lot of anything.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Well, you can go watch. You've got fireworks up there,
don't you. We do.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
There are fireworks that I know of that that we'll
see sort of in the neighborhood. I'm just not sure
if we're at the right Some houses in our neighborhood
you could see them right outside your front door, but
I don't know if we're situated correctly, because again I
haven't for we've been in this house for nine years,
I think nine fourths of July. I don't know if
(04:05):
I've ever seen the fireworks because for many years the
HOA or whoever it was, because we were up with
my parents, So I don't even know if you could
see them from my house.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So no, you probably have to go. You should go somewhere.
They probably have them in your town somewhere or around there.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I think they're doing them at the mall as well.
Assuming Magic Mountain, we'll probably have some.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Fire exactly, so it might be fun.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Might be Yeah, please do that though they're so sweet. Yeah,
thank you for wanting me to see your fireworks.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
That would be lovely. I think I think that that
would be special for you to see fireworks.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
So anyway, that's what do you eat on the fourth
of July? Do you have a regular menu Fourth of
July menu? I mean besides funnel cakes.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
My mother just said that to me, what are we
going to do for food today? Should we get Should
I get a grill so we can? And I was like, no,
We've got plenty of food in the frigerator. And that
did not satisfy her, because I think everybody wants like
a special Fourth of July food, like a food event,
whether it be like grilling hot dogs or hamburgers or
what have you. I mean, I like all that stuff.
I had a corn dog last night that was delicious.
(05:13):
That's a fair food.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Well it was your birthday, so so what my birthday
goes hand in hand with a corn dog? I don't know.
I'm just I'm trying to make excuses for you em.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
You know, I was thinking about my dead father yesterday
as well, and I was thinking, God, he hated all
this s he hated the fair, he hates parades. Your
mother wants to go to the ged parade. Can you
believe that I've got more of him and me and
when it comes to parades than anything else. So I
like that your parents bring the niceness and the festivities.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Producer Keana had what were you going to say?
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Elmer and I were just talking about like what we
want today for food, and I was like, oh, like
a brisket and try tip and like smoked ribs that
fall off the bone like that.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
That just sounds so good. Big, We're totally late for
all of those things, Like those are things we should
have started yesterday or the day before.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Big old thing of beans. Beans been on the stove
for like, you know, nine hours'd be.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
A little bacon and the beans.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
My mom would always have the kind that had brown
sugar and pineapple in it too.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Uh huh, I've never heard of pineapple.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Oh it's so good, sweet with your salt, so good,
so sweet, so good. And then macaroni salad. My dad
used to make a macaroni salad that had nothing in
it but bad stuff that was so good.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I mean, I will really roll the dice on the
fourth of July for a macaroni salad. I don't care
if it's been sitting out in the sun for an
hour and a half.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I will neil doing talking about food safety on the
fourth of July. If it's been out for ninety degrees,
you gotta he.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Talked about food safety. There is no good safety today.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
That's what makes this country what it is. It's a
willingness to dip into that potato salad that's been sitting
out on Aunt Margaret's picnic table in ninety four degree
heat for the last seven hours.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Aunt Margaret's mayonnaise has been in the fridge since nineteen
seventy eight, and I'm here for it. Give me all
of Aunt Margaret's bad mayonnaise on the fourth of July,
on the fifth of July day. But today we are
stronger than bad mayonnaise. We're stronger than the sun because
we are Americans.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Hey, don't worry. If Aunt Margaret's hot dogs have been
in the freezer for the last two years, Pop those
things out, thaw the doggies out, throw them on a
hot grill, burn all the germs off of them, and
then stick them in your freedom hole.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Aunt Margaret may be missing two and a half limbs,
but that doesn't mean that her expired food is not delicious.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Aunt Margaret smokes four packs a day. You think a
little bad potato salad's going to take her out. No,
Aunt Margaret is American.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Aunt Margaret's breath may smell like she's down a couple organs.
Oh what, she can really f up a potato salad.
And that's what I'm here for today.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Let us know what's on your menu today for the
fourth of July holiday. You could leave us a talk
back when you're listening on the app. Make sure you
start by saying Happy Independence Day. But you can just
hit that little red button with a white microphone on it.
Let us know what it is that you are celebrating
on Independence Day and how you celebrate Independence Day.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I just realized I have an Aunt Maggie, who is
beautiful and wonderful and has never poisoned me for food,
and is.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Probably not a beach not a fourth pack a day
smoker or something.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
He doesn't smoke. She's in great shape. And now I
feel bad about the point MP Margaret thing, but you
started it.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah, but she's also an American. She is an American,
and that's what we're celebrating today.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I like that we're not going to talk about any
real news today.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Well there is some Sean, are.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
We really going to talk about it because I saw
a little bit of real news and that we're just
gonna milk people like Michael Monks and Heather Brooker and
just have a good time today.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
And I kind of like that, Well, we have the
freedom to do that today.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Yeah, You're damn right, we do.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, but at least we're at work.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Caitlin Jenner's friend Slash manager Slash was there something going
on at some point died? Sophia Hutchins.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I saw this story about the accident, but only today
did I see who it was.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, she died in this ATV accident yesterday, no, Wednesday morning,
and they just got footage TMZD of the crash site there.
She was pronounced dead at the scene in Malibu after
she swiped the bumper of a vehicle with her ATV
and was thrown three hundred and fifty feet down into
(09:54):
a ravine. Apparently there was footage of the aftermath of
the crash k cow before she was identified. It's a
blue ATV and it kind of shows it resting atop
an upside down vehicle that had previously crashed in the
same spot, so it looks like just an old car
that they never retrieved, that you know, crashed down there
(10:17):
years ago. But anyway, she's just twenty nine years old.
And when Kitlyn Jenner made the transition, the two of
them were inseparable. Sophia had also made a transition, and
so the two were kind of like it was like
kind of like Caitlyn Jenner's like younger galpal that would
(10:38):
teach her the ways of the new life, shall we say.
And they did videos together and they were posting all
the time, and and I think they were linked at
one point. They were living together at one point. Anyway,
so they say that Kitlyn Jenner's longtime friend and manager,
but dead at twenty nine years old.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
It is a holiday, but firefight. They're still working that
Madre fire up in Santa Barbaras anels Obispo Counties. It's
at fifty two and a half thousand acres. This is
kind of fire behavior we don't see. I know, it's
obviously it's July, so it's hot, but usually we don't
see that kind of explosive fire behavior until late August
(11:19):
September October there were also fire works that blew up
last night in Pacoima. Four homes caught fire and one
woman was killed. There was a detonation yesterday of fireworks
at a home in Siam Valley where one person was killed.
Fire crews found twenty five tons of illegal fireworks at
(11:40):
a home in Main Street in Southgate, and we're still
looking for seven people after that massive explosion that engulfed
a warehouse holding fireworks up in Yolo County in northern California.
Because of that, I mentioned that there were several cities
that have had to cancel their fireworks displays because that's
where their fireworks were being Still, the fireworks that were
(12:01):
supposed to take place at the ubis Utter Fairgrounds, fireworks
shows in Cloverdale, in Chico, in San Jose have all
had to be canceled because their fireworks blew up Tuesday night.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
So be careful tonight when you go crazy.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yeah, when you go blowing your hand off, just remember
we told you not to blow your hand off. People
are responding to what they're doing on this Fourth of July.
Speaker 6 (12:24):
Guy, I'm an immigrant, proud immigrant of this country, Love
this country. And what do you eat? Fourth of July?
Come on, burgers and Burgers Classic. Come on, that is true.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
All I want to do is party with Aunt Margaret.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Why won't anybody let me party with Aunt Margaret?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
You can party with Aunt Margaret all you want. You
just got to find her first.
Speaker 7 (12:46):
Happy Independence Day, Gary and Shannon oh Man, your little
Aunt Margaret speech. I'm ready. I'm ready. As a matter of fact,
the literal thing that came to mind as you were
talking and going, what do I want today? What the
do I want today? I'm gonna go grab a damn cigar.
I want to smoke a cigar in my backyard. And
my wife's going to tell me no, no, no, no, I'm
(13:08):
gonna say, you know what.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
There's the damn door.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I would love a cigar today.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Well, what's preventing you from getting a cigar?
Speaker 1 (13:18):
I don't know. I feel like, you know, I didn't
quit cigarettes to just jump into cigars. I guess.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Well, I feel I feel like if I have a
cigar today, it could become like a once a day
habit where now I'm a cigar woman. No, and I
sign off on the show, I get in my truck
and I light up a cigar on the way home.
At one oh five pm.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I don't think that's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Every day, you know. And then I'm a cigar person.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Yeah I don't. I don't think that's gonna Do.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
You think I could have one? Just one?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I think you'd have one and you'd be like, you
know what, It's probably not what I thought it was
going to be.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
It's the idea.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
First couple of puffs on a cigar, fantastic, big glass,
a big old just scotch next to it. Perfect. But
that lasts for me for like five minutes, and then
I'm like, okay.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Yeah, the idea of it's fun, especially like when you're
a dude, it's not as fun when you're a woman.
It doesn't have the same genna se quaw.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
It's great on the golf course you're out and about,
like there's all of that, But if you're just gonna
sit there, it's got a it's got a short shelf
life for me, but I do enjoy it. You got
to you gotta see my pace.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
My problem is I am going to inhale, you know,
and then I get the cancer right away with one
one puff of that thing.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
That's what you're worried about?
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Cancer?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah, Well, I mean not to not worry about cancer.
That's that.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah, it's one of the things that happened.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Just that that you're smoking a cigar, You're like cancer.
Never mind, never mind, I gotta put this thing out.
Spent fourteen bucks on a good cigar and now I
can't even team bucks.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I don't know how much for one of those ones
that's like, you know, a couple hundred dollars a hundred. Yeah,
I went like a Cuban. I don't even know what
I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
It doesn't sound that. Hey, today the President is going
to sign that big, beautiful bill. Two o'clock, I believe
is the is the signing ceremony. It's going to be
at the White House. Some of the Republican members of
Congress who voted for it are expected to be there
again two o'clock. They're going to do a picnic I believe,
(15:30):
on the White House grounds for a bunch of veterans
today in active duty military. And then I believe he's
spent in the rest of the weekend up in New
Jersey on a golf course.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Uh. Yeah, it looks like the big thing is the
tax cuts, A lot of tax cuts. The heart of
the bill roughly for trillion dollar tax cut and without
the extension, this was the one that Republicans passed in
twenty seventeen. Without this extension, most Americans would see a
tax increase, which nobody likes. And that's what's going to
(16:02):
add to the deficit. That's going to add the three
point three trillion in the national debt over the next decade.
But you're probably going to get a tax cut, a
noticeable one too, from the weeds that I was parsing
earlier this morning. But it's gonna be paid for with
an extension of the debt, as well as social programs Medicare, Medicaid,
(16:25):
I Believe, and the food stamp program, asking more of
people that get those programs or the benefits of those programs.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Along their lines of taxes. Also, they're talking about the
no taxes on tips in overtime. You can deduct a
qualified overtime pay, although the deduction can't exceed twelve thousand,
five hundred qualified tips received during the year, although they
can't exceed twenty five thousand. Some other stipulations for both
of them, but that's going to be That was one
(16:54):
of the things that he campaigned on and I remember
when it came out. I mean he talked about no
tax on tips, and everybody's like, why would a president
be worried about that? Uh, because it resonates with a
lot of people. Here's Oh, I'm sorry, No, I was
just going to say that. I mean, that's one of
those simple messages that I think a lot of people
were drawn to that he was delivering.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
In California or you know, in state like California and
New York high tax state, you could also see a
big tax break because it raises the current cap on
the amount of state and local taxes, including property taxes
that you can write off on your federal tax return.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Yeah, that's that's a big deal. That was one of
those things that they were definitely fighting for, we know.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
So, yeah, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
We're asking what what you have planned for today? Maybe
what's what's on the menu for tonight, h Gary.
Speaker 8 (17:51):
And Shannon on our menu is going to be smoked
pulled pork on Hawaiian buns, law main course. But here
are the things that you can't have Fourth of July
without cold watermelon corn on the cops sliddered with butter
and salt and ruffles, potato chips with sour cream and onion.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Jyp Oh, my gosh, Hello, what the hell I'm coming over?
I need an address.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Happy fourth July. There, What I had was some microwave
chicken and threw that on two defrosted tortillas from the freezer.
You have the freedom to do whatever you choose. That's
that's right, that's what I heard.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Freedom.
Speaker 9 (18:38):
Happy Fourth of July, folks. Shannon Gary. I can't wait
to party with Aunt Margaret today. Guarantee.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I pulled that brush out in the.
Speaker 9 (18:48):
Back of my pocket and start brushing her hair right
there in front of everybody. Fireworks going on out, potato
salad being swung, bears being drunk hopped. Weenies, Oh yourware
that brush is coming.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Out hot, Doug Weenies.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I think that's a callback to our brushing hair comment.
I think he weighed in when we talked about the
hair brushing. He was a big fan of it. Yeah,
do you remember when I'm talking out?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
I do remember what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I don't remember the context of the conversation.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
It was about somebody being romantic to have your.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Right here, right like brush your wife's hair or something.
And I said, the only time i want my husband
to brush my hair is if I'm in some sort
of center, like a mental or you know.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
It's going to be a wet fourth of July for
a lot of places. The fourth of July is going
to bring major flooding along the Guadalupe River in Texas.
Five to ten inches of rain fell overnight before sunrise,
in just the hours before the sun came up, and
they said it's a life threatening situation there. This is
an area that's just north of San Antonio, and they're
(19:58):
telling anybody who lives within a stone's throw of the Curveville, sorry,
the Guadalupe River in Currville to evacuate. That water, as
they said, already taken several streets in town and could
get more dangerous as the day goes by.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
So great, Now, I'm excited about your vacation. I'm excited
about your family trip. Is this you have? How many
family members are going on this trip?
Speaker 2 (20:23):
So I have you know what, let me count because
I've been telling people different numbers, and I do have
account and accounting. So one, two, three, four, five, six, fourteen,
it's eighteen twenty two four six, twenty seven total.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Oh my gosh, that is so much bigger than I
thought it was going to be.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, twenty seven total.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Twenty seven people, and now you're all staying in the
same area but not altogether, is that right?
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah, there's there's group that. One group has some condos
along part of Maui, and then we have an airbnb
nearby within walking distance allegedly. I mean, we'll kind of
see when we get there how what people's different definition
of walking distance is. But yeah, twenty seven people. Friends,
(21:11):
there's some friends, there's some cousins, there's an aunt, there's
like the in laws, and then my sisters and their
families and everything.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
So, you know what, that's big enough of a group too,
where you don't feel like you have to do everything
together because you can't possibly.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Well we actually it's funny. My sisters and I were
on a phone call last ar, a zoom call whatever
last night, and we had talked about, Okay, so some
people are going to do the zip line thing this day,
and then other people are going to do the snorkel
thing this day. There's only two things that we have
(21:44):
planned for. If you're there, you got to go. One
of them is the luau. We're all going to go
to one of the luaus together. And then the other
thing is we're all going to have one specific dinner
that's not luau at our place, at the airbnb that
we got because we have a pool in the backyard.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
So you're gonna have twenty seven people there.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I don't know if that's the full I don't remember
the math on that night that we chose to do
that dinner, but I have a bunch of people.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Oh my god, how fun. That is great. You're gonna
have such a wonderful time.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
We should it should be fun. We'll see. I was.
I was lamenting the fact I realized that I'm gonna
be there for the All Star Game, which is great
because my nephews are there and my my brother in law.
We can all sit and have a beer and watch
the All Star Game. But it's not going to start
until like nine o'clock, Hawaii time.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
You're outside.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Was like, I just did the math wrong. I went
the wrong way. It's gonna start at like two o'clock. Yeah, okay,
never mind.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
I'm happy now, But you're gonna be in Hawaii. You're
not gonna want to be watching television all the time.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Here's what I will want to do. I will one
of my favorite memories of being in Hawaii. This was many,
many years ago when my wife and I went for
our I guess it was our fifteenth anniversary. She and
I went to a restaurant and sat at the bar
and watched the Monday night football game between the Seahawks
and the Green Bay Packers. And I remember because it was,
(23:15):
you know, eighty degrees outside. We're sitting there having these
exotic cocktails watching this you know, this game being played
in a cold I don't remember if it was in
Green Bay or if it was in Seattle, but it
was cold because it was December, and we're watching it
while the you know, slight Hawaiian breeze is blowing through
the bar that we were sitting in.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
It really is one of the most comforting things you
can have as you're on vacation. It doesn't matter where
you are. It's happened to me in foreign country, Costa Rica.
I remember watching a forty nine er game in Costa Rica.
There's something really comforting about watching a football game or
a baseball game when you're away from home, and you
(23:57):
just want to feel like, you know, even if you're
having a great time or whatever, you just feel it
feels like you're at home watching that.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah. So, speaking of baseball, though, there is a pitcher
for Cleveland who has now been placed on leave and
is currently under investigation by Major League Baseball. There is
a betting integrity company that watches unusual bets being placed
on sports, and because of the influx of the way
(24:28):
that you can bet now with apps and everything on sports,
they've talked about something or there's a new category that
they referred to as micro bets down to at least
in baseball, down to what pitch is going to be thrown,
is it going to be a ball or a strike?
And there were two specific pitches that this guy through
(24:53):
that prompted an investigation. One of them was June fifteenth,
first pitch of the inning against the Mariners, first pitch,
missing low ball one to a Rosarina beginning the bottom
of the second end, okay. And the other one was
June twenty seventh against the Cardinals. Pedro Paz leads on
and it takes on that it's just a little bit
outside now. The guy says, it's just a little bit outside.
(25:16):
Both of those pitches were a foot off the plate,
and the first one actually bounced before it got to
the plate.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Obvious.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
The obvious, the assumption being this guy was tipping better
whoever is he owed money to or whatever that for
some reason, those two pitches had spikes of activity, the
first pitch in the second inning and the other one
was the first pitch in the third inning.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
How much does he make, Louis Ortiz.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
This is not a minor leaguer struggling. They've gotten a
bunch of minor leaguers or a bunch of guys that
play that you bet in the minor when they were
in the minors. But like you reach a certain salary,
you don't need to be throwing pitches, you know what
I mean, throwing pitches to make a couple extra bucks
unless there's major money in it for you.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Right, And that's kind of what they're doing. They're saying
that he's going to be on a leave until they
finished the investigation, which could take a couple of weeks.
But if he's found to have done this, he's out
of baseball forever.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
There's been a lot of people. There was about a
year ago that MLB put a lifetime ban against a
padres infielder for placing bets on baseball. Four other guys
got one year suspensions for gambling on baseball when they
were in the minors. Like I was saying, In February,
MLB fired an umpire widely recognized is the best ball
(26:45):
strike arbiter in the game, Pat Hoburg for sharing a
legal sports betting account with a friend who bet on
baseball and then deleting messages related to the investigation. It
is rampant, and how could it not be, How easy
it is to bet these days.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Especially again, you think there's seven hundred thousand pitches thrown
during a Major League Baseball season. How are they going
to notice the one pitch in that second inning or
the pitch at the top of the third inning. How
are they going to notice?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
And that's what he was thinking.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
They did. Somebody found it. We'll do terror in the Skies,
big travel weekend of course for fourth of July. Will
do T I T S when we come back to Gary.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Excuse me, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
It wants brisket at nine fifty four am.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
The monster is awake now, and we're a.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Monster so awake. You should hear it. It's so vocal.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
We're going to have to deal with it now. We
wanted to get into a couple of quick everybody's headed
to the airport probably or drive in or something like that,
so we wanted to do some terror in the skies.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
By zero and I or you are alert to day
off Roger, get off my plane, Roger Rogers.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
What's our victor?
Speaker 8 (27:58):
Victor?
Speaker 9 (27:59):
No I have with these mucky pipe and snakes on
his money?
Speaker 5 (28:06):
It's Gary and Shannon's terror in the skies on KF I.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Well, there were literal snakes on a plane. Australian domestic
flight had to be delayed for two hours after a
snake was found in the plane's cargo hold. Virgin Australia
flight from Melbourne found for Brisbane.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Why do you think that men? We were just talking
about this last night. My brother has one fear and
it's snakes. I feel like that's a man's thing that
you just are afraid of snake? Are you afraid of snakes?
Speaker 4 (28:35):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
You're not easy around? Snakes.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
I can be startled by snakes, Like if I move
the garbage can and there's a rattlesnake, I will be
startled by it. But I'm not generally afraid of them, right,
Like I.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Don't know about afraid, but just kind of like you
don't like them, like get it away from me kind
of thing.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
I mean, I'm I've held snakes and messed around with snakes.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yeah, we're going to need to get a bunch of
snakes in the studio and just pile them on on
Gary like he's Brittany in a toxic video. And I
love to do it for Instagram. I held a python before.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Yeah, yeah, a picture I do?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Can we post it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (29:16):
We used to. We used to get all kinds of
garter snakes around my house in Petaluma, which it doesn't
seem like that's where they would be, but we used
to get them and catch them and pick them up
and mess with them, mess with them.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
I mean, you know, are you a serial killer you
have in your background?
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I wasn't tying it in a nod or anything, but
I'd like put it on the fence and see if
it could climb off or what. I don't know, just
I was learning about nature. An American Airlines passenger snooping
on one of their seat neighbors forced a flight to
return to San Juan, Puerto Rico after reporting a potential
security concern. The American Airlines flight from San Juan to Dallas.
(29:59):
H said that someone had received a text message saying
r I p rest in peace and interpreted that as
a threat to the flight and again.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
For the love of God, get over yourself.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Someone's neighbor saw that text and then reported it to
the to the flight made another guy on Southwestern lige, Wait, yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
We cannot just race past that. There are overly nosy
people on flights.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Yeah, like that guy, People who you.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Know you're on your phone or you're texting. So many
people looking over Now I that said, I have done this,
Like I'm curious individual, and like if somebody's reading a book,
I have to know what book it is. I look
over and then I feel bad that I'm nosy. But
does everybody do this where you're just fat, Like what's
that person watching? What are they reading? What's going on?
Is that work? What does that spreadsheet? What does that
(30:54):
person do? I'm so guilty of this, but yet horrified
when if anyone would would be looking at my text
messages or what I'm doing looking at the news.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Well, you are in very close quarters, so it's hard
not to kind of. It doesn't take much for your
eyes to divert to someone else's activity whatever that is,
their their phone or their book or whatever.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
So but sometimes I'll be like, oh, I don't know
about that book. I'll let me google it, and it's well, why.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Don't you just ask the person who's sitting next to
you about their book, because then.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
That opens up a conversation that I'm not ready to have.
For an hour and a half, you're willing to snoop.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
You just don't want to talk to them. Yes, there
was a Southwest flight Baltimore to Denver earlier this week,
and somebody said that his seat mate neighbor whipped out
a steel box with a bunch of bottles inside, which
he said seemed innocent enough at first, until he used
his dunkin Donuts loyalty card to start cutting up lines
(31:50):
of cocaine and then rolled up a high end five
dollars bill to blow it into the old booger locker.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Ah, this will be a fun talk back. What is
your favorite card that you use to crush and cut
up lines of cocaine? I would venture that the dunkin
Donuts loyalty card would not be high up on my
list of cards. You gotta find a durable one, you know,
you got to find Yeah, you don't have a black card,
but something durable, not just something that's flimsy. And furthermore,
(32:22):
a five is way too long small of a denomination.
A lot of people have touched a five. That's why
you got to go for like the hundreds. Fewer people
have touched one hundred. If few people have touched a
fifty or twenty. When you start rolling up ones and fives,
that's really dirty. That's some dirty stuff you're doing that
cocaine with.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
I would use my my loyalty card from Green Valley
Ranch Resort and Spa in Henderson.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
That sounds like a fun weekend with you. I'm not
gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Okay, Well, there you go. Up next, our favorite Michael
Monks is going to join us right here on Carrie.
