Gary and Shannon lead off with breaking news after Councilman Curren Price was rushed from an event for a health emergency, though reports suggest he seemed to be joking and in good spirits with Mayor Bass by his side. The pair then turn to the haunting case of Celeste Rivas Hernandez and its eerie ties to singer D4vd. From there, it’s a whirlwind of stories: the bizarre crackdown on “illegal” breast implants in North Korea, the end of HOV lane privileges for solo EV drivers, and fresh listener reactions to Secretary Hegseth’s military meeting. Later, they break down LA County’s $20 million settlement in the tragic murder of 4-year-old Noah Cuatro, with Shannon sharply criticizing DCFS for repeated failures. The hour closes on a lighter note with animal time, discussing “Chunk” being crowned the Fat Bear Contest champion, and updates on SoFi’s missing hawks, and more.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Talk about pressure. That kid right there for the Cleveland Guardians.
This is his first major league game, making your major
league debut in a playoff game.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
How that guy's wearing white pants. I don't cat.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
You love the pressure. You live for the pressure.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I guess there was somebody last night I was saying
that we were watching the Yankees Red Sox game and
basses were loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning
and the Yankees didn't have anybody out. They had hit
three consecutive singles, basses loaded, no outs, and there was
a woman that was standing there and she goes, I
am so nervous, I would hate.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
To get out.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I was like, what this is exactly when you want
to bet, you want to be the hero, you want
to get up there in bat with.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Base that's what you say in the backyard. Bases loaded. Yeah,
two hours bottom of the night. That's what the Reds
were hoping when the Dodgers bullpen was walking everything in
the eighth inning. But yeah, you can't like the Yankees
and you can't leave runners stranded like that in the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
It does not portend good things.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
A couple of things we were talking earlier about again
trying to get some feedback from members of the military
former current about yesterday's speech by Pete haig Sath Good.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Morning Gary, Good morning Shannon. As a woman who has
been in the military for nineteen years in a predominantly
male dominated field, I feel like haig Seth pretty much
declared it open season on sexual assault and harassment for women, minorities,
if you're anything other than a white male. Basically, it
was just really disappointing to see all the work that
(01:42):
women have put in and minorities have put in to
just be wiped aside.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
He was a little ham handed with his comments regarding
whistleblower complaints. I did not hear those, but I don't
know if he was wiping them aside. But that is
an interesting perspective because he was talking about to a
very very male dominated room, the very male dominated career
that is the military, and didn't really carve out a lot.
(02:08):
But his whole point was we want the best warriors,
We want the best men and women in this military period.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
I agree on There are standards heights and weights for
a reason, because our men and women in the military
need to be in good physical shape to take care
of one another in battle and in training. What really
pisses me off is that there's no weights and balances
for law enforcement. How many times have you seen a
(02:38):
grossly overweight police officer because the last time they had
a PG test physical test was in their boot camp.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I don't you know what, see a lot of local
We're going to start doing that around here.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
We're going to start in siloting.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I would like you to do fifty pushups and twenty
five pull ups in the next commercial break.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
You could do that.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Nobody on this floor can do twenty five pull ups.
You could maybe, of course you could. How many can
you do?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I am not a grown man?
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Arrest? All right?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
A quick update locally as well. We just got word
the current price LA City Council member had to be
taken away in an ambulance today. He was there at
the LA Convention Center groundbreaking ceremony. Had some sort of
a medical emergency. He was conscious. He was kind of
joking with some of the people as he was being
wheeled out on a gurney. Mayor Bass was seen running
(03:36):
behind him as if paramedics helped him out. He was
conscious again, But we don't know exactly the nature of.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
It, waiting patiently and impatiently day by day for a
break in this case of this girl found dead in
the trunk of a Tesla, Tesla registered to singer David.
Her name is Celeste Reeves and she was reported missing
at thirteen, fourteen years old. Now an ex boyfriend says,
(04:03):
what you can all assume is that she had a
kind of a troubled home life, that she and the
mom didn't get away along together, and why she ran away.
That she had talked about running away from her home
there and lake Elsinor had joked about it at school.
He had heard about her relationship with the singer David,
(04:25):
but was surprised because he thought she was happy outside
of her home life. We don't know how she died.
That has been the big question obviously, was the result
of foul play?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Why that's even a question.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
We don't know if it was a result of foul play, Well,
a fifteen year old girl ends up dead in a trunk.
It's not natural causes, is it? They do believe they're
looking at a drug overdose. Potentially, maybe she odeed on
drugs and they put her body in the trunk to
hide it.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I would think that, regardless of the condition of the body,
a drug overdose would be a lot easier to prove chemically,
just through chemical analysis than any other sort of physical
cause of death, like that she was abused or brutalized
in some way.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Here's the timeline for this girl. Celeste is reported missing
by the family in Lake Elsinor in April twenty twenty four.
She's found by police in Hollywood and returned home. The
next month, she's reported missing again, and then a year
and a couple months later, the position of the tires
on that tesla is marked by authorities, a citation is
(05:38):
issued the following week.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
That week it's also impounded.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
And then the remains of Celeste are found in the
trunk of the tesla a day after her fifteenth birthday.
So this all transpired her first runaway in April twenty
twenty four and the body found in September of the
following year.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
There's a lot of weirdness also going on about David himself. Now,
he was on tour when the body was discovered, He's
not made any appearances, nor has he addressed any of this.
He canceled the remainder of his world tour. He was
dropped by Crocs. I didn't realize that that was the thing.
I hate him even more and Hollister just days after
(06:20):
it was announced that he was the face of their
new collaboration. Additionally, all promotion of his music was pulled
by the music companies. A deluxe version of the album
supposed to be released around the same time that Celest's
body was discovered, and it's not clear if that's ever
going to be released. Some people online actually said that
they found evidence, and again these are online sleuths, take
(06:44):
it for what it's worth, but they said that they
found that he was moderating his own subreddit and then
allegedly deleting posts that were critical of him once we
found out that Celeste's body had been found and that
he was being quiet because he was listed as the
sole moderator of his account. They were accusing him of
trying to control the narrative in favor of portraying him
(07:06):
in a more positive light.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
In a viral resurfaced video, he explains the origin of
his alter ego in his most popular song, that's called
Romantic Homicide. In the interview, he describes himself as an
anime fan and at one point was writing his own
manga series about a detective with a murderous alter ego
(07:29):
solving the very murders he committed. The detective's name was Atami,
which means pain in Japanese. He said in the interview,
it's kind of like Fight Club with Tyler Durdin. He
would commit the crimes that I would have to solve
afterwards as the detective. So as the detective, I'd be
solving murders that I'm committing myself. Some noted the resemblance
(07:51):
of the woman in the video too, Celeste.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
The date of its release was also her birthday.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Again, people around her, she was at several of his events,
several of his concerts, all age restricted. Everyone thought she
was a nineteen year old USC student, that that was
the narrative they were pushing, not a fourteen year old
runaway from Lake elsinor Man.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
All right, well, there's another bed story coming up a
little bit later about a settlement in the Noah Quatro case.
But let's lighten it up a little bit for all
you people who thought that the state loved you for
buying your electric vehicle, your solo driver access in the
carpool lane.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Gonzo, did you.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Notice any difference this morning? It took effect today, but
that means it won't really. I mean, people aren't going
to be really realizing it, will they.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I did notice some cars with that sticker.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I mean, obviously people aren't going to rush to take
the sticker off, but I didn't know.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I didn't notice any difference.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I'm assuming there's a grace period where people will be
pulled over and then let go for a couple weeks
or something, and that people are two months. Oh, it's
a month grace period. So I think every single person
who has a sticker is taking advantage of the two
month grace all two months. I think we'll finally, we'll
know in a couple months when this thing goes in
for real.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Gary Shannon will continue.
Speaker 7 (09:13):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Out of DC.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
This morning, the Supreme Court is going to allow Lisa
Cook to remain as a Federal Reserve governor for now.
The Court decided not to act on the Trump administration's
effort to immediately remove her as a governor from the
FED Reserve. In this unsigned order that came out of
the Supreme Court. They said they will be hearing arguments
in January over the president's effort to force her off
(09:46):
the FED board.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Did you hear about the breast implants in North Korea?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (09:54):
No? Tell me more so.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Apparently there is a big government push. Secret security services
have launched a crackdown on women with breast implants in
North Korea, specifically capitalist breast implants.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
This may be racist, but I don't.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I am dying to hear what your quick.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
You're right, you know what. I Am going to pull
up the nose of the plane and keep flying at
a comfortable elevation, All right, okay.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Kim Jong UN's regime is said to be using undercover
agents and neighborhood patrols to catch those that are carrying
out and undergoing cosmetic procedures. And if they find your
North Korean who has to be a certain size, you
could be sent to a label.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
All the Korean women that I know have beautiful breasts
and they're all natural. I don't know if it's a
big thing there. I didn't know that that was a
thing in America. It's a thing. I throw a rock,
you hit a fake boob. I don't get that vibe
from Korea, but maybe it is.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Maybe Shohyo Tani tey, Oscar Hernandez each had two home runs.
Tommy Edmund had won the five hole runs for the
Dodgers last night that went over the Reds. That is
ties a postseason franchise record for home runs in a
postseason game.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
So okay.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
So. For more than two decades, California's Decal Program, the
Clean Air Vehicle Decal Program, has allowed hybrid electric hydrogen
powered cars to use the carpool lane sands extra people
in the seats.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
You know, the people.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You remember, the people in their priuses, all smug about
twenty years ago, driving in the carpoolane, feeling better than everybody. Well,
that's over. It comes soon end.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Today, drivers who have otherwise qualified.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
For the program will no longer be able to use
the lane if driving without passengers, regardless if you have
a valid clean Air sticker on their vehicle. Now, I
remember when this went into effect, and I felt like
within a matter of two or three years it clogged
all the carpool lanes. Everyone was in on the game
because it was it was cheaper to I mean maybe
(12:13):
not to buy when you're looking at the sticker, but
in a long run, it's cheaper to drive one of
these vehicles.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Only twenty bucks. It was like twenty five bucks, I
think to get the sticker.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
No, I mean the sticker price of the vehicle. Oh,
as opposed to your Toyota camera or what have you.
You're going to be paying more for the hybrid vehicle,
but that when you're paying less for gas, it's cheaper
to drive, is what I meant. But I felt like
for a long time, and maybe it was just my
own bias, but I felt like the carp lane was
clogged with people with these stickers as opposed to carpool
(12:46):
actual carpools. I don't know, because everyone started buying them
because they made sense. Those cars made sense. If you're
driving in California, why not have a hybrid?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Well, and that's what I would have bothers me about
this is the state was so had such a turgid
go find a different word. They had such a boner
for people driving electric cars.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
What were you going to say that you settled on
boner as the alternative that they.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Wanted to give you tax credits, right, the federal governments
giving you tax credits.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
The state was going to give you breaks.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
They wanted you to go solar, They wanted you to
like all of these things that they wanted for you.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
What a rock.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
And then when you do and you think they're you know,
they think that you or you sorry, you think you're
doing the right thing, they start coming up with these
ideas where you drive an electric car, you're now going
to have to start paying a mileage tax. Or you
drive your electric car, you no longer have your access
to the carpool a. I know this is a federal
thing that takes that away, but still it's one of
(13:51):
those I thought you were there to protect me.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I thought I did what I was supposed to do.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You thought that those politicians cared about clean air and
the environment when they were just lining their pockets with
all the climate change dollars. They were selling this like
pure dream of a clean environment and clean water and
clean air and paradise, and they were just horrors. They
were money grabbing horrors at every turn. And further proof
of that of how political this was was when Elon
(14:18):
Musk made the world's best coolest electric car and the
Democrats hated it. They hated it and they I mean,
that should have been something that they held up like, finally,
it's not a Nissan Leaf. It's an electric vehicle that
people love, that people want. It's a luxury vehicle that
you can't afford if you try really hard, and there
(14:39):
are incentives to make it more affordable. And this is
exactly what we've been preaching. And then everyone got the Tesla,
and they should have been like, victory Lab.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Victory Lab.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
The Democrats should have this is so cool, look at
what we're doing for the environment. But they just crapped
all over him. You couldn't get them to say the
word Tesla. And to me, that was proof that this
whole climate thing was self serve for them.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
This article, by the way, there's one out of the
Bay Area from KQED. What can I do if I
want to keep using the carpool lane and they say
carpool with people, what the hell one is consider public?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Stop it?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
But if I want to still use the carpool lane,
want in one hand, Darling, do you.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Know anybody who's ever been ticketed for that for.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Traveling in the carp lane.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
I think John has a couple of those.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Because it's not cheap. It's about four hundred and twenty dollars.
This just is four ninety.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Well, it's gone up at least four nineties.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
I guess it depends on where you are specific.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
It's a fun roll of the dice. Man, It's enough
to get your blood pumping. Like them, I gomm to
get dinged for this, I don't know, but look at me, zoom.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
We pasted all the other cars.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
We were taking your talkbacks regarding yesterday's big meeting with
Pete Hegseth and the admirals and generals from around the world.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
Well, Gary and Shannon. As a veteran from the Vietnam era,
yesterday was a ridiculous threat to people. If they don't
follow their fears lead, you're out. I'm insulted as a veteran.
Take with it what you want. Yes, they were ordered there,
(16:16):
Yes they had to go. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, it's also hey, listen, military is not a democracy.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
That's not how that runs.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Not that that's a good thing or it's just a
neutral description of how the military runs.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Versus the rest of society.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
When we come back, we're going to talk about this
Noah Quatro story. If you don't remember this, a four
year old little Noah Quatro died at the age of
four back in twenty nineteen, and the Board of Supervisors
has approved a settlement because the county was on the
hook for at least part of it.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
We'll explain what's going on in that case.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Also, there's some good news. We've got your chance at
one thousand dollars.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
Now your chance to win one thousand dollars just enter
this nationwide keyword on our website cash.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
That's cash.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
Cash entered now at KFIAM six forty dot com, slash
cash Howard by Sweet James Accident Attorneys. If you're hurting
an accident, winning is everything, call the winning attorneys at
Sweet James one eight hundred nine million. That's one eight
hundred nine million or sweet James dot com.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Again, the keyword cash goes on the website. An hour
from now, we'll give you another shot to win one
thousand bucks.
Speaker 7 (17:32):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kfi
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Government shutdown is now thirteen and a half hours in effect.
We will talk at the top of the hour we
get into swamp Watch about what's going on. Senators had
a couple of votes today that they were thinking might
begin the process of breaking the shutdown. In one case,
they would be they would be voting on a clean
House backed Republican stopgap funding bill that failed last night.
(18:02):
They're going to vote on it again. There were three
Democrats that voted last night, so they'll see if they
get any other Democrats to defect from their party. That
stopgap bill would basically provide funding for about seven weeks
I think it is, and in that case give them
a chance to work out some of the other things. Oh,
here's this is just a mind blowing that there's people
(18:23):
that think of these things and then try to prove
them true. A team of Chinese Army scientists ran a
laboratory simulation to answer this question, what would happen if
you detonated three nuclear warheads in the same spot in
quick succession?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
They said.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
They modeled the test on an American experiment from nineteen
sixty five, and they said a triple strike setup more
than doubled the crater radius from one hundred and fifty
one feet to three hundred and seventy four feet, increased
its depth from ninety two feet down to one hundred
and fifteen feet. They didn't talk about total damage fee years,
but said that this debtonation staging a debtonation in three
(19:04):
nuclear pulses produced a crater ten times larger in volume
than if you did just one nuclear explosion.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
That sounds fun.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
The LA County Board of Supervisors has approved this week
a twenty million dollar landmark settlement and the death of
a boy from Palmdale who was tortured and murdered by
his parents in twenty nineteen. This was twenty million dollars
that should never have had to been paid to settle
the death of a little boy, because this was an
(19:36):
LA County Board of Supervisors that should have learned its
lesson years ago. This is not the first little boy
from Palmdale who has been tortured and murdered by his
parents under the nose of the LA County Board of Supervisors.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Mom and dad, by the way, doing at least twenty
to life. I think dad got thirty two years life.
Mom got twenty two years to life for this death,
which was originally reported as a drowning. Obviously, when you
take a kid from Palmdale Regional down to Children's Hospital
and he dies a day later, they're able to look
at the injuries and realize that this was not a
one First of all, it wasn't a drowning, and second
(20:15):
it was not a one time thing. That there were
scars and wounds on this kid that had been there
for years and he's only four. Then when they start
looking into it, they realized that there had been warning
signs for this family for years, that there were other
reports of abuse to Noah's older siblings, that the older
(20:35):
siblings had talked not only to teachers, but to County
Department of Child and Family Service workers that came into
the home, and that the people that had put eyeballs
on this house had seen evidence of abuse and did
not take the kids out of the home. There was,
(20:57):
in fact, at least one that whole.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Department should just be destroyed, the Department of Children and
Family Services. There have been too many kids that have
died on their watch, too many kids where we're finding
out in the post mortem of whatever weak investigation DCFS did,
that we're finding out that just paperwork wasn't done people
(21:23):
didn't want to drive out to Palmdale, Lazy County government
workers that didn't want to do their job, and these
little kids die because of it. And it's not the
first time. That's the thing that makes it so maddening.
It was maddening the first time. That was on our
raidar with Gabriel Fernandez.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Now we're talking about another dead kid, and I think
there's been a couple dead kids in between the two.
What the hell are we doing well?
Speaker 2 (21:47):
And then outside of the original tragedy that is awful,
is horrific. This lawsuit by Grandma accused social workers of
making threats against her in an attempt to keep her
quiet about all of this, and that the social workers
allegedly told Grandma that if she made any public statements
(22:08):
about Noah's case and or any potential lawsuit, that she
was going to lose her request for guardianship of her
other three great grandchildren and would never see them again.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I have a question because I know a couple of
people who have been social workers, and it is a
thankless job, and it is long, grueling hours, and you
didn't get paid nearly enough for it.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
But is there a dearth and social workers.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Is there a need? Are there not enough good people
that are signing up to do this work? Are they
accepting just monsters now at the DCFS.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
I don't think they're social workers. I don't think, Jill.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I just think generally your first point is the more
accurate one. It's just that they're so completely overworked.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Yeah, but that doesn't turn somebody into someone who's going
to make threats on a grandma. Well, just being overworked
doesn't make you threaten grandma. I've seen you overworked. Yeah,
remember when you turned to self care on the airplane.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
You offered me a mask. Animals, try not to be rue.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Let's not forget about the stuffed animal that you had
and the face mask at the same time. That's how
you responded to stress and being overworked. You didn't hit anybody,
You didn't threaten a buela. There was nobody, There was
no harm done.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Some most people respond when they're overworked. They get frustrated
to the get upset. They don't threaten grandma's that's a monster.
And you've got a monster working for you under the
umbrella of La County. That's on you.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Uh, we got animal News.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
We got another day of Animal News, A full animal
roundup coming up, including our Bear Fat Bear week winner.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
You weren't even a fan of Chunk, No, I'm not.
You wanted Flotato to win.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Yeah, but I also wanted the Giants to make the
playoffs and they didn't, so I'm rooting for the marriage.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Did you take a nap yesterday in honor of Flotato?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
I did? I do.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I was not in a river, though it was not
in the river. Have wet my pants? Had I done that?
Gary and Shannon will continue in just a moment.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KF
I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Uh boy, where do you want to start discuss the.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Do we play some sort of animal thing?
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
We never did ask if we had one of those?
I mean, I think we do have one.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
We do.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
There's like a lot of birds and stuff. I don't know,
things get lost around here. We've only had like eighteen
producers in ten years, right, so listen, But I mean
we could do the animal sounds right?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Oh, look at that?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Oh how do they find that? That is?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
I'm so glad they did.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I mean, it makes it so hard to believe I
still say, paint, where did that come from?
Speaker 4 (25:01):
I will never ask for that again. To see you
know you can put it back wherever you found it.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a victor. We have a
Fat Bear Week, Fat Bear Week.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Jack goodness and guys, this is a come from behind
underdog story. Do we have any This should be a
motivational Monday. This should because here's the thing about Chunk.
Thirty two Chunk is thirty two Chunk. It's not It's
not an rpo. Okay, this is an actual bear and
(25:33):
it is a brown bear. And thirty two Chunk, weighed
in at over twelve hundred pounds, has nabbed the twenty
twenty five title of the Fat Bear Week competition. This
is in its eleventh year now, and Chunk entered the
competition at a handicap. His jaw was broken. Have you
(25:54):
ever had a broken jaw?
Speaker 3 (25:55):
No, I know what people who have had. It just
seems awful.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I watched Beth a broken jaw on Yellowstone and she
had a hard time eating, So you can imagine how
thirty two Chunk would have a hard time eating too.
I promise my Yellowstone references will go away. I'm in
the second half of the last season. So that's probably
the last Yellowstone reference I'll make.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
I doubt it.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Anyway, Chunk had a broken jaw. So how was Chunk
going to enter this competition and out eat all the
other bears with a broken jaw? How is that going
to work? How would you fit all of those salmon
into your broken mouth? How would you? Chunk? Did chunk'saw? Way?
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Chunk said, what would America do?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
America would eat the salmon with a broken jaw?
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Your damn right, America would. And that is what Chunk did,
and he wrote his broken jaw to victory. By the way,
they weren't ever going to fix his broken jaw. That's
not what they do. Mike Fitz is a former park ranger.
He is a resident naturalist at the organization that helps
row run Fat Bear Week, and he said, bears in
(27:02):
the park do not receive medical care in circle of life.
That's right, one hundred percent hands off.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
That's the way it should be with animals. That's it,
one hundred percent the way it should be. Yeah, if
your jaw breaks, I'm not fixing it. I'm just gonna
watch you look like a Stephen King character with the
thing that's hanging off, Well, think about it all grotesque
if you're in the wild like that, a broken jaw.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
That could have been a death sentence for him.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Sure, but it wasn't, was it. It was a path
to victory for Chunk.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Now Chunk stands likely path to victory extremely only he
was the under bear.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Underbear to be considered for this fat Bear bracket. Bears
had to be present at the river throughout the summer
so that rangers could capture the before and after pictures
that demonstrate just how much weight each animal had gained.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
The bears can eat over fifty.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Thousand calories per day, fifty thousand a day.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
I do love salmon. I could eat a lot of salmon.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Hit samon last night?
Speaker 7 (28:01):
You did?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
I did.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
The early summer and late summer photos of eight fifty
six seem to have captured his dramatic transformation and body mass.
Eight fifty six, of course, was the runner up.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Maybe I'll have salmon tonight to celebrate chunks victory.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
There were one point six million total votes, representing the
most in the contest history, according to the competition data.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
We've got an update on the Hawks stolen from outside
SOFI Stadium. Now here's the thing about the hawks. I
was thinking about this on my way home. They bring
in the hawks, of course, to scare away all the
other birds that will surround the bodies of water that
they have placed to beautify the stadium lands.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
And they do. It's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I love the bodies of water, little ponds that are
pretty big. Why, though, would you, as a RAMS organization,
allow for hawks to be used as predators at your stadium.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Them because.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Because of the NFC West, Why would you let hawks
rule the roost at your stadium.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
I don't think they have much control over that.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
I'm serious, Like that is that is not cool. Bring
in any other predator. Don't bring it other predator that's
going to scare away birds like that? Well, then figure
something out. Figure something out. You don't bring in hawks
when you're in the NFC West to keep the score
at your stadium.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
That is just unless you're the Seahawks. You just don't.
It's a bad omen.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
It is bad, and you know what, it could very
well come down to a Ramshawks situation later in the season.
Those are two of the best to the best teams
in the NFC West.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
The mayor of Inglewood, James, but say.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
You let the hawks just fly around, says.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
That the whose house hawks house.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Utility vehicle, it's not cool where the hawks are located
has been discovered. The container that the hawks were in
was also found, but the containers were empty.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Niners would never let that s fly. You never have
hawks patrolling Levi's. That would not go. Nobody would agree
on that. Bob would raise his hand and be like, well,
we could bring in hawks to kind of cut down
on the amount of foul and then Bob would be
killed in that room. Bob would not walk out of
(30:26):
that room alive. Everyone would be like, why do you
work here, Bob? You're bringing hawks to Levi's. Get out
of here.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
The missing hawks, Alice and Baba are not pets. Should
fly back to Seattle where they belong.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
I don't belong there. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
You bring bring in wolves wolves?
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Yeah, okay?
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Or rams, actual rams to patrol the bodies of water
here the birds? You want me if you bring in
some rams? And what a great pr story rams. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
You seem like you're on solid ground with this one.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
I feel pretty good about it.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Sounds like I say.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
You bring in the sheep with the horns, and you
let them scare away the birds. You don't rely on
the enemy to the north. What do you expect? It's October?
What do you expect from me?
Speaker 3 (31:25):
I do clearly too much.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Funny swamp watch when we come back to Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Talk about pressure. That kid right there for the Cleveland Guardians.
This is his first major league game, making your major
league debut in a playoff game.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
How that guy's wearing white pants. I don't cat.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
You love the pressure. You live for the pressure.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I guess there was somebody last night I was saying
that we were watching the Yankees Red Sox game and
basses were loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning
and the Yankees didn't have anybody out. They had hit
three consecutive singles, basses loaded, no outs, and there was
a woman that was standing there and she goes, I
am so nervous, I would hate.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
To get out.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I was like, what this is exactly when you want
to bet, you want to be the hero, you want
to get up there in bat with.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Base that's what you say in the backyard. Bases loaded. Yeah,
two hours bottom of the night. That's what the Reds
were hoping when the Dodgers bullpen was walking everything in
the eighth inning. But yeah, you can't like the Yankees
and you can't leave runners stranded like that in the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
It does not portend good things.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
A couple of things we were talking earlier about again
trying to get some feedback from members of the military
former current about yesterday's speech by Pete haig Sath Good.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Morning Gary, Good morning Shannon. As a woman who has
been in the military for nineteen years in a predominantly
male dominated field, I feel like haig Seth pretty much
declared it open season on sexual assault and harassment for women, minorities,
if you're anything other than a white male. Basically, it
was just really disappointing to see all the work that
(01:42):
women have put in and minorities have put in to
just be wiped aside.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
He was a little ham handed with his comments regarding
whistleblower complaints. I did not hear those, but I don't
know if he was wiping them aside. But that is
an interesting perspective because he was talking about to a
very very male dominated room, the very male dominated career
that is the military, and didn't really carve out a lot.
(02:08):
But his whole point was we want the best warriors,
We want the best men and women in this military period.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
I agree on There are standards heights and weights for
a reason, because our men and women in the military
need to be in good physical shape to take care
of one another in battle and in training. What really
pisses me off is that there's no weights and balances
for law enforcement. How many times have you seen a
(02:38):
grossly overweight police officer because the last time they had
a PG test physical test was in their boot camp.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I don't you know what, see a lot of local
We're going to start doing that around here.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
We're going to start in siloting.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I would like you to do fifty pushups and twenty
five pull ups in the next commercial break.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
You could do that.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Nobody on this floor can do twenty five pull ups.
You could maybe, of course you could. How many can
you do?
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I am not a grown man?
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Arrest? All right?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
A quick update locally as well. We just got word
the current price LA City Council member had to be
taken away in an ambulance today. He was there at
the LA Convention Center groundbreaking ceremony. Had some sort of
a medical emergency. He was conscious. He was kind of
joking with some of the people as he was being
wheeled out on a gurney. Mayor Bass was seen running
(03:36):
behind him as if paramedics helped him out. He was
conscious again, But we don't know exactly the nature of.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
It, waiting patiently and impatiently day by day for a
break in this case of this girl found dead in
the trunk of a Tesla, Tesla registered to singer David.
Her name is Celeste Reeves and she was reported missing
at thirteen, fourteen years old. Now an ex boyfriend says,
(04:03):
what you can all assume is that she had a
kind of a troubled home life, that she and the
mom didn't get away along together, and why she ran away.
That she had talked about running away from her home
there and lake Elsinor had joked about it at school.
He had heard about her relationship with the singer David,
(04:25):
but was surprised because he thought she was happy outside
of her home life. We don't know how she died.
That has been the big question obviously, was the result
of foul play?
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Why that's even a question.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
We don't know if it was a result of foul play, Well,
a fifteen year old girl ends up dead in a trunk.
It's not natural causes, is it? They do believe they're
looking at a drug overdose. Potentially, maybe she odeed on
drugs and they put her body in the trunk to
hide it.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I would think that, regardless of the condition of the body,
a drug overdose would be a lot easier to prove chemically,
just through chemical analysis than any other sort of physical
cause of death, like that she was abused or brutalized
in some way.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Here's the timeline for this girl. Celeste is reported missing
by the family in Lake Elsinor in April twenty twenty four.
She's found by police in Hollywood and returned home. The
next month, she's reported missing again, and then a year
and a couple months later, the position of the tires
on that tesla is marked by authorities, a citation is
(05:38):
issued the following week.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
That week it's also impounded.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
And then the remains of Celeste are found in the
trunk of the tesla a day after her fifteenth birthday.
So this all transpired her first runaway in April twenty
twenty four and the body found in September of the
following year.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
There's a lot of weirdness also going on about David himself. Now,
he was on tour when the body was discovered, He's
not made any appearances, nor has he addressed any of this.
He canceled the remainder of his world tour. He was
dropped by Crocs. I didn't realize that that was the thing.
I hate him even more and Hollister just days after
(06:20):
it was announced that he was the face of their
new collaboration. Additionally, all promotion of his music was pulled
by the music companies. A deluxe version of the album
supposed to be released around the same time that Celest's
body was discovered, and it's not clear if that's ever
going to be released. Some people online actually said that
they found evidence, and again these are online sleuths, take
(06:44):
it for what it's worth, but they said that they
found that he was moderating his own subreddit and then
allegedly deleting posts that were critical of him once we
found out that Celeste's body had been found and that
he was being quiet because he was listed as the
sole moderator of his account. They were accusing him of
trying to control the narrative in favor of portraying him
(07:06):
in a more positive light.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
In a viral resurfaced video, he explains the origin of
his alter ego in his most popular song, that's called
Romantic Homicide. In the interview, he describes himself as an
anime fan and at one point was writing his own
manga series about a detective with a murderous alter ego
(07:29):
solving the very murders he committed. The detective's name was Atami,
which means pain in Japanese. He said in the interview,
it's kind of like Fight Club with Tyler Durdin. He
would commit the crimes that I would have to solve
afterwards as the detective. So as the detective, I'd be
solving murders that I'm committing myself. Some noted the resemblance
(07:51):
of the woman in the video too, Celeste.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
The date of its release was also her birthday.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Again, people around her, she was at several of his events,
several of his concerts, all age restricted. Everyone thought she
was a nineteen year old USC student, that that was
the narrative they were pushing, not a fourteen year old
runaway from Lake elsinor Man.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
All right, well, there's another bed story coming up a
little bit later about a settlement in the Noah Quatro case.
But let's lighten it up a little bit for all
you people who thought that the state loved you for
buying your electric vehicle, your solo driver access in the
carpool lane.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Gonzo, did you.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Notice any difference this morning? It took effect today, but
that means it won't really. I mean, people aren't going
to be really realizing it, will they.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I did notice some cars with that sticker.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I mean, obviously people aren't going to rush to take
the sticker off, but I didn't know.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I didn't notice any difference.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I'm assuming there's a grace period where people will be
pulled over and then let go for a couple weeks
or something, and that people are two months. Oh, it's
a month grace period. So I think every single person
who has a sticker is taking advantage of the two
month grace all two months. I think we'll finally, we'll
know in a couple months when this thing goes in
for real.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Gary Shannon will continue.
Speaker 7 (09:13):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Out of DC.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
This morning, the Supreme Court is going to allow Lisa
Cook to remain as a Federal Reserve governor for now.
The Court decided not to act on the Trump administration's
effort to immediately remove her as a governor from the
FED Reserve. In this unsigned order that came out of
the Supreme Court. They said they will be hearing arguments
in January over the president's effort to force her off
(09:46):
the FED board.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Did you hear about the breast implants in North Korea?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (09:54):
No? Tell me more so.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Apparently there is a big government push. Secret security services
have launched a crackdown on women with breast implants in
North Korea, specifically capitalist breast implants.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
This may be racist, but I don't.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I am dying to hear what your quick.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
You're right, you know what. I Am going to pull
up the nose of the plane and keep flying at
a comfortable elevation, All right, okay.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Kim Jong UN's regime is said to be using undercover
agents and neighborhood patrols to catch those that are carrying
out and undergoing cosmetic procedures. And if they find your
North Korean who has to be a certain size, you
could be sent to a label.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
All the Korean women that I know have beautiful breasts
and they're all natural. I don't know if it's a
big thing there. I didn't know that that was a
thing in America. It's a thing. I throw a rock,
you hit a fake boob. I don't get that vibe
from Korea, but maybe it is.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Maybe Shohyo Tani tey, Oscar Hernandez each had two home runs.
Tommy Edmund had won the five hole runs for the
Dodgers last night that went over the Reds. That is
ties a postseason franchise record for home runs in a
postseason game.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
So okay.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
So. For more than two decades, California's Decal Program, the
Clean Air Vehicle Decal Program, has allowed hybrid electric hydrogen
powered cars to use the carpool lane sands extra people
in the seats.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
You know, the people.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You remember, the people in their priuses, all smug about
twenty years ago, driving in the carpoolane, feeling better than everybody. Well,
that's over. It comes soon end.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Today, drivers who have otherwise qualified.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
For the program will no longer be able to use
the lane if driving without passengers, regardless if you have
a valid clean Air sticker on their vehicle. Now, I
remember when this went into effect, and I felt like
within a matter of two or three years it clogged
all the carpool lanes. Everyone was in on the game
because it was it was cheaper to I mean maybe
(12:13):
not to buy when you're looking at the sticker, but
in a long run, it's cheaper to drive one of
these vehicles.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Only twenty bucks. It was like twenty five bucks, I
think to get the sticker.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
No, I mean the sticker price of the vehicle. Oh,
as opposed to your Toyota camera or what have you.
You're going to be paying more for the hybrid vehicle,
but that when you're paying less for gas, it's cheaper
to drive, is what I meant. But I felt like
for a long time, and maybe it was just my
own bias, but I felt like the carp lane was
clogged with people with these stickers as opposed to carpool
(12:46):
actual carpools. I don't know, because everyone started buying them
because they made sense. Those cars made sense. If you're
driving in California, why not have a hybrid?
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Well, and that's what I would have bothers me about
this is the state was so had such a turgid
go find a different word. They had such a boner
for people driving electric cars.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
What were you going to say that you settled on
boner as the alternative that they.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Wanted to give you tax credits, right, the federal governments
giving you tax credits.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
The state was going to give you breaks.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
They wanted you to go solar, They wanted you to
like all of these things that they wanted for you.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
What a rock.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
And then when you do and you think they're you know,
they think that you or you sorry, you think you're
doing the right thing, they start coming up with these
ideas where you drive an electric car, you're now going
to have to start paying a mileage tax. Or you
drive your electric car, you no longer have your access
to the carpool a. I know this is a federal
thing that takes that away, but still it's one of
(13:51):
those I thought you were there to protect me.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I thought I did what I was supposed to do.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
You thought that those politicians cared about clean air and
the environment when they were just lining their pockets with
all the climate change dollars. They were selling this like
pure dream of a clean environment and clean water and
clean air and paradise, and they were just horrors. They
were money grabbing horrors at every turn. And further proof
of that of how political this was was when Elon
(14:18):
Musk made the world's best coolest electric car and the
Democrats hated it. They hated it and they I mean,
that should have been something that they held up like, finally,
it's not a Nissan Leaf. It's an electric vehicle that
people love, that people want. It's a luxury vehicle that
you can't afford if you try really hard, and there
(14:39):
are incentives to make it more affordable. And this is
exactly what we've been preaching. And then everyone got the Tesla,
and they should have been like, victory Lab.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Victory Lab.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
The Democrats should have this is so cool, look at
what we're doing for the environment. But they just crapped
all over him. You couldn't get them to say the
word Tesla. And to me, that was proof that this
whole climate thing was self serve for them.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
This article, by the way, there's one out of the
Bay Area from KQED. What can I do if I
want to keep using the carpool lane and they say
carpool with people, what the hell one is consider public?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Stop it?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
But if I want to still use the carpool lane,
want in one hand, Darling, do you.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Know anybody who's ever been ticketed for that for.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Traveling in the carp lane.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
I think John has a couple of those.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Because it's not cheap. It's about four hundred and twenty dollars.
This just is four ninety.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Well, it's gone up at least four nineties.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
I guess it depends on where you are specific.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
It's a fun roll of the dice. Man, It's enough
to get your blood pumping. Like them, I gomm to
get dinged for this, I don't know, but look at me, zoom.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
We pasted all the other cars.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
We were taking your talkbacks regarding yesterday's big meeting with
Pete Hegseth and the admirals and generals from around the world.
Speaker 8 (15:56):
Well, Gary and Shannon. As a veteran from the Vietnam era,
yesterday was a ridiculous threat to people. If they don't
follow their fears lead, you're out. I'm insulted as a veteran.
Take with it what you want. Yes, they were ordered there,
(16:16):
Yes they had to go. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah, it's also hey, listen, military is not a democracy.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
That's not how that runs.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Not that that's a good thing or it's just a
neutral description of how the military runs.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Versus the rest of society.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
When we come back, we're going to talk about this
Noah Quatro story. If you don't remember this, a four
year old little Noah Quatro died at the age of
four back in twenty nineteen, and the Board of Supervisors
has approved a settlement because the county was on the
hook for at least part of it.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
We'll explain what's going on in that case.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Also, there's some good news. We've got your chance at
one thousand dollars.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
Now your chance to win one thousand dollars just enter

from now, we'll give you another shot to win one
thousand bucks.
Speaker 7 (17:32):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kfi
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Government shutdown is now thirteen and a half hours in effect.
We will talk at the top of the hour we
get into swamp Watch about what's going on. Senators had
a couple of votes today that they were thinking might
begin the process of breaking the shutdown. In one case,
they would be they would be voting on a clean
House backed Republican stopgap funding bill that failed last night.
(18:02):
They're going to vote on it again. There were three
Democrats that voted last night, so they'll see if they
get any other Democrats to defect from their party. That
stopgap bill would basically provide funding for about seven weeks
I think it is, and in that case give them
a chance to work out some of the other things. Oh,
here's this is just a mind blowing that there's people
(18:23):
that think of these things and then try to prove
them true. A team of Chinese Army scientists ran a
laboratory simulation to answer this question, what would happen if
you detonated three nuclear warheads in the same spot in
quick succession?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
They said.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
They modeled the test on an American experiment from nineteen
sixty five, and they said a triple strike setup more
than doubled the crater radius from one hundred and fifty
one feet to three hundred and seventy four feet, increased
its depth from ninety two feet down to one hundred
and fifteen feet. They didn't talk about total damage fee years,
but said that this debtonation staging a debtonation in three
(19:04):
nuclear pulses produced a crater ten times larger in volume
than if you did just one nuclear explosion.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
That sounds fun.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
The LA County Board of Supervisors has approved this week
a twenty million dollar landmark settlement and the death of
a boy from Palmdale who was tortured and murdered by
his parents in twenty nineteen. This was twenty million dollars
that should never have had to been paid to settle
the death of a little boy, because this was an
(19:36):
LA County Board of Supervisors that should have learned its
lesson years ago. This is not the first little boy
from Palmdale who has been tortured and murdered by his
parents under the nose of the LA County Board of Supervisors.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Mom and dad, by the way, doing at least twenty
to life. I think dad got thirty two years life.
Mom got twenty two years to life for this death,
which was originally reported as a drowning. Obviously, when you
take a kid from Palmdale Regional down to Children's Hospital
and he dies a day later, they're able to look
at the injuries and realize that this was not a
one First of all, it wasn't a drowning, and second
(20:15):
it was not a one time thing. That there were
scars and wounds on this kid that had been there
for years and he's only four. Then when they start
looking into it, they realized that there had been warning
signs for this family for years, that there were other
reports of abuse to Noah's older siblings, that the older
(20:35):
siblings had talked not only to teachers, but to County
Department of Child and Family Service workers that came into
the home, and that the people that had put eyeballs
on this house had seen evidence of abuse and did
not take the kids out of the home. There was,
(20:57):
in fact, at least one that whole.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Department should just be destroyed, the Department of Children and
Family Services. There have been too many kids that have
died on their watch, too many kids where we're finding
out in the post mortem of whatever weak investigation DCFS did,
that we're finding out that just paperwork wasn't done people
(21:23):
didn't want to drive out to Palmdale, Lazy County government
workers that didn't want to do their job, and these
little kids die because of it. And it's not the
first time. That's the thing that makes it so maddening.
It was maddening the first time. That was on our
raidar with Gabriel Fernandez.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Now we're talking about another dead kid, and I think
there's been a couple dead kids in between the two.
What the hell are we doing well?
Speaker 2 (21:47):
And then outside of the original tragedy that is awful,
is horrific. This lawsuit by Grandma accused social workers of
making threats against her in an attempt to keep her
quiet about all of this, and that the social workers
allegedly told Grandma that if she made any public statements
(22:08):
about Noah's case and or any potential lawsuit, that she
was going to lose her request for guardianship of her
other three great grandchildren and would never see them again.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I have a question because I know a couple of
people who have been social workers, and it is a
thankless job, and it is long, grueling hours, and you
didn't get paid nearly enough for it.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
But is there a dearth and social workers.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Is there a need? Are there not enough good people
that are signing up to do this work? Are they
accepting just monsters now at the DCFS.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
I don't think they're social workers. I don't think, Jill.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
I just think generally your first point is the more
accurate one. It's just that they're so completely overworked.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Yeah, but that doesn't turn somebody into someone who's going
to make threats on a grandma. Well, just being overworked
doesn't make you threaten grandma. I've seen you overworked. Yeah,
remember when you turned to self care on the airplane.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
You offered me a mask. Animals, try not to be rue.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Let's not forget about the stuffed animal that you had
and the face mask at the same time. That's how
you responded to stress and being overworked. You didn't hit anybody,
You didn't threaten a buela. There was nobody, There was
no harm done.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Some most people respond when they're overworked. They get frustrated
to the get upset. They don't threaten grandma's that's a monster.
And you've got a monster working for you under the
umbrella of La County. That's on you.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Uh, we got animal News.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
We got another day of Animal News, A full animal
roundup coming up, including our Bear Fat Bear week winner.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
You weren't even a fan of Chunk, No, I'm not.
You wanted Flotato to win.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Yeah, but I also wanted the Giants to make the
playoffs and they didn't, so I'm rooting for the marriage.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Did you take a nap yesterday in honor of Flotato?
Speaker 3 (23:54):
I did? I do.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I was not in a river, though it was not
in the river. Have wet my pants? Had I done that?
Gary and Shannon will continue in just a moment.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KF
I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Uh boy, where do you want to start discuss the.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
Do we play some sort of animal thing?
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
We never did ask if we had one of those?
I mean, I think we do have one.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
We do.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
There's like a lot of birds and stuff. I don't know,
things get lost around here. We've only had like eighteen
producers in ten years, right, so listen, But I mean
we could do the animal sounds right?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Oh, look at that?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Oh how do they find that? That is?
Speaker 4 (24:45):
I'm so glad they did.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I mean, it makes it so hard to believe I
still say, paint, where did that come from?
Speaker 4 (25:01):
I will never ask for that again. To see you
know you can put it back wherever you found it.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a victor. We have a
Fat Bear Week, Fat Bear Week.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Jack goodness and guys, this is a come from behind
underdog story. Do we have any This should be a
motivational Monday. This should because here's the thing about Chunk.
Thirty two Chunk is thirty two Chunk. It's not It's
not an rpo. Okay, this is an actual bear and
(25:33):
it is a brown bear. And thirty two Chunk, weighed
in at over twelve hundred pounds, has nabbed the twenty
twenty five title of the Fat Bear Week competition. This
is in its eleventh year now, and Chunk entered the
competition at a handicap. His jaw was broken. Have you
(25:54):
ever had a broken jaw?
Speaker 3 (25:55):
No, I know what people who have had. It just
seems awful.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I watched Beth a broken jaw on Yellowstone and she
had a hard time eating, So you can imagine how
thirty two Chunk would have a hard time eating too.
I promise my Yellowstone references will go away. I'm in
the second half of the last season. So that's probably
the last Yellowstone reference I'll make.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
I doubt it.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Anyway, Chunk had a broken jaw. So how was Chunk
going to enter this competition and out eat all the
other bears with a broken jaw? How is that going
to work? How would you fit all of those salmon
into your broken mouth? How would you? Chunk? Did chunk'saw? Way?
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Chunk said, what would America do?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
America would eat the salmon with a broken jaw?
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Your damn right, America would. And that is what Chunk did,
and he wrote his broken jaw to victory. By the way,
they weren't ever going to fix his broken jaw. That's
not what they do. Mike Fitz is a former park ranger.
He is a resident naturalist at the organization that helps
row run Fat Bear Week, and he said, bears in
(27:02):
the park do not receive medical care in circle of life.
That's right, one hundred percent hands off.
Speaker 4 (27:07):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
That's the way it should be with animals. That's it,
one hundred percent the way it should be. Yeah, if
your jaw breaks, I'm not fixing it. I'm just gonna
watch you look like a Stephen King character with the
thing that's hanging off, Well, think about it all grotesque
if you're in the wild like that, a broken jaw.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
That could have been a death sentence for him.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Sure, but it wasn't, was it. It was a path
to victory for Chunk.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Now Chunk stands likely path to victory extremely only he
was the under bear.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Underbear to be considered for this fat Bear bracket. Bears
had to be present at the river throughout the summer
so that rangers could capture the before and after pictures
that demonstrate just how much weight each animal had gained.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
The bears can eat over fifty.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Thousand calories per day, fifty thousand a day.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
I do love salmon. I could eat a lot of salmon.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Hit samon last night?
Speaker 7 (28:01):
You did?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
I did.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
The early summer and late summer photos of eight fifty
six seem to have captured his dramatic transformation and body mass.
Eight fifty six, of course, was the runner up.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Maybe I'll have salmon tonight to celebrate chunks victory.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
There were one point six million total votes, representing the
most in the contest history, according to the competition data.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
We've got an update on the Hawks stolen from outside
SOFI Stadium. Now here's the thing about the hawks. I
was thinking about this on my way home. They bring
in the hawks, of course, to scare away all the
other birds that will surround the bodies of water that
they have placed to beautify the stadium lands.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
And they do. It's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I love the bodies of water, little ponds that are
pretty big. Why, though, would you, as a RAMS organization,
allow for hawks to be used as predators at your stadium.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Them because.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Because of the NFC West, Why would you let hawks
rule the roost at your stadium.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
I don't think they have much control over that.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
I'm serious, Like that is that is not cool. Bring
in any other predator. Don't bring it other predator that's
going to scare away birds like that? Well, then figure
something out. Figure something out. You don't bring in hawks
when you're in the NFC West to keep the score
at your stadium.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
That is just unless you're the Seahawks. You just don't.
It's a bad omen.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
It is bad, and you know what, it could very
well come down to a Ramshawks situation later in the season.
Those are two of the best to the best teams
in the NFC West.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
The mayor of Inglewood, James, but say.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
You let the hawks just fly around, says.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
That the whose house hawks house.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Utility vehicle, it's not cool where the hawks are located
has been discovered. The container that the hawks were in
was also found, but the containers were empty.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Niners would never let that s fly. You never have
hawks patrolling Levi's. That would not go. Nobody would agree
on that. Bob would raise his hand and be like, well,
we could bring in hawks to kind of cut down
on the amount of foul and then Bob would be
killed in that room. Bob would not walk out of
(30:26):
that room alive. Everyone would be like, why do you
work here, Bob? You're bringing hawks to Levi's. Get out
of here.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
The missing hawks, Alice and Baba are not pets. Should
fly back to Seattle where they belong.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
I don't belong there. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
You bring bring in wolves wolves?
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Yeah, okay?
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Or rams, actual rams to patrol the bodies of water
here the birds? You want me if you bring in
some rams? And what a great pr story rams. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
You seem like you're on solid ground with this one.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
I feel pretty good about it.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Sounds like I say.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
You bring in the sheep with the horns, and you
let them scare away the birds. You don't rely on
the enemy to the north. What do you expect? It's October?
What do you expect from me?
Speaker 3 (31:25):
I do clearly too much.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Funny swamp watch when we come back to Gary and Shannon.

You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
