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):
The world is welcoming.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Pope Leo the fourteenth celebrated his first Mass today in
the Sistine Chapel. Of course, he was elected less than
twenty four hours ago, or twenty four hours earlier. That is,
he spent years on social media kind of going after
Donald Trump and back when he was not the pope.
I don't think he's going to continue doing that. His
(00:31):
final post on the cardinal prevost Twitter account x account
was a retweet of a message from somebody who was
slamming the president's partnership with El Salvador's president when it
comes to deportation of illegal migrants. The question actually came
up today amongst a or I should say, during a
(00:52):
news conference with American cardinals, was this cardinal? Was this
American cardinal chosen as a counter balance to President Trump?
And one of the cardinals out of New York, actually,
Timothy Dolan had said, that's not why we do this.
We don't elect a pope based on the political considerations
like that.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Can I tell you the story? Well, No, we don't
have time right now. I wanted to tell you the story,
and I will get to it. Of an article I
was written in this morning about John Hamm and Amy
Poehler and reminded me of your friendship, something that you
would do.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
A Soviet spacecraft, that Cosmos for eighty two men. No,
but they've narrowed it down. They said it is likely
to come down northern California.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
That's where I'll be.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Early Saturday morning. Where the way that they've narrowed it down.
US Space Force says it's either Gulf of Oman, Northeast Africa,
or Borneo Boo. So we're talking about thousands of miles
apart those those areas, so they're not quite sure exactly
where it's coming down.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
All right, Well, we have probably unfolding as we speak.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
In Van Eyes.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
The judge in the Menendez brother's case is going to
consider whether Nathan Hawkman and the DA's office should remain
on the case and if a parole board's risk assessment
should be allowed inside that courtroom. It's kind of misleading
the way they write that up CBS News, whether the
DA's office should remain on the case and s muddled
(02:26):
the judge back in April said the court, remember how
Gavin Newsom said, Okay, So, just to backtrack, George Gascon
in a hail Mary effort to save his job as DA,
decided to dive into all of the TikTok support the
Minetta's brothers have gotten, after all of the the docu
dramas that have been appearing on Netflix and the like.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
That's a perfect way to put it, the TikTok support.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, I think it's a perfect way to put it.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
And so he was saying, maybe, you know, maybe we
take off life without parole, maybe we give these guys
a chance at freedom, and then the TikTok people will
be happy. And then there was a new DA that
came in and said, no, that's not the case. And
everyone who looked at it has the same problem. Essentially
(03:15):
that these Menendez brothers are still lying about it. They're
still saying they didn't do it. They're still not admitting
to all the things that they've done, and that, in
the eyes of the law, is something that's not forgiven.
You have to come in and say I did it
and I'm sorry, and then maybe they'll think about letting
you out. It's just the way it works, and the
parole board is no different. I would assume that the
(03:36):
Parole Board at the behest of the gavenusom took a
look at the case and said, you know what, there's
no accountability here still, and so we cannot say that
they're going to be low risk when they get out.
If they're not going to own up to what they did.
Who knows what they could potentially do in the future
if they feel no remorse. It's almost like psychopaths. Right
(03:56):
So now it's kind of in the weeds right now,
But the judge is going to say that the court
has looked at that risk assessment report by the Parole
Board and decide if it should be used during these proceedings.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Why is this taking so long?
Speaker 4 (04:19):
That everything takes so long?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Is that what it is is just because I know
that this is a higher profile case. I don't know
if that has any bearing on it. It just seems
there's a lot.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
More paperwork and machinations and motions that are filed to
delay or deny.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I mean, it's kind of like.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Working with your insurance company, working with the justice system.
It's hard to get a hold of people. Stuff takes
too long, a lot more paperwork than you thought. Something
that should be cut and dried is never cut and dried.
So that's what we're dealing with. By the way, Mark Gergiz,
who represents the Menendez brothers, says he has not seen
the report and says it should not be used by
(04:56):
the judge to make any sort of decision regarding the
brothers because of executive privilege, because Gavin Newsom has the
executive privilege as being the governor and part of the
elected body of the state, which is separate from the
judicial body of the state. So that is his argument
(05:17):
about why the judge should not use this report, and
gerreg is arguing against the judge being able to look
at the report is evidence that the report is advantageous
for the prosecution.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Even though he claims that he hasn't seen it, or
at the time of the original hearing last month he
said he hadn't seen it exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
So we'll stay on top of that and bring you
all of the latest. No doubt there will be a
sea of cameras there to chronicle what is a procedural
day in the Menendez saga.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
All right, up next, we're going to do our Entertainment Report.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
We'll talk about what's coming out in terms of movies,
and in a few minutes, chp rolling out some new vehicles.
Speaker 2 (05:57):

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Heather Brooker is following entertainment news for us, and usually
we talked to her later on a Friday, but she's
got a skidaddle. She's been here since two in the morning.
So Heather, what do we have on tap this weekend? Well,
you guys know, Thunderbolts opened last weekend.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I heard of each movie. Fantastic, It's really good. It's
really a clap at the end of good.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Yes, that's how I felt. Yeah, my daughter, also, my
whole family. We just really enjoyed it, and a lot
of the fans did as well. It's the latest chapter
in the Marvel universe. These are some of the secondary
characters press yea extension of the universe. So what Marvel
has done, though, what Disney's done this week is they
have been planning this sort of post premiere, post to
(07:44):
release marketing, you know, splurge. You may have noticed on
the Thunderbolts title there's a little asterix at the end
of it. It's like Thunderbolts with an asterix. Well, literally,
just days after the movie opened, they had the stars
of the movie going around town and ripping off the
sign of Thunderbolts, like tearing away the paper of the
movie posters, and underneath it says the New Avengers.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
That's what the asterisk was all about.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
It.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I noticed it work, that did and it says New
Avengers because it's out here in front of the Disney studio.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Yes, they literally waited like half a second to do.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
It made me wonder if there was like a steroids thing,
like what was going on, well.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
That that might be a little bit of an astro.
Why do we need it thunder Bolts? That wasn't a
question mark. I feel like they did this because Paul
fig is really trying. Not Paul fig. Oh my god,
I just forgot the name of the guy who's in
charge of Marvel Fig. No, not Paul fig who's Kevin.
I was like, I knew it was an F word.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
I feel like it's saw the same. Yes, yes, Kevin Fig.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
I was trying to make really trying to make a
link for the fans between the old Marvel you know
world that we know in love with the Avengers and
this sort of new path that they're going down. So
it's also a little bit of a joke in the
film and a spoiler alert. Fans were like, geez, you
could even have waited like a week or two for
us to go out and see the film before you
start calling it the New Avengers, which is a big
(09:07):
like spoiling point in the film.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Yeah. So yeah, so that's what Disney's doings still gonna
do well the box office.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Isn't that rewarding the people that went out the first
weekend in Swimmer?
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Yeah? I don't think.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Honestly, I think most fans are kind of have mixed
feelings about it because they're not the New Avengers. They're
not the Avengers at all. If you're a comic book fan,
you know that they're not in the Avenger lineup at all.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
There Could they be the New could there be?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Or we okay, no, sorry, I'll sit this one out.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
My husband will be like, hey, hey.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Helmer has a point, Yes, Elmer, Yes, on the back.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
So there are the New Avengers and there's Mighty Avengers.
There's different like groups that come out of the original
and some of these people are in the group called
the New Avengers. But like it's just like the Century,
He's definitely in the New Avengers, and like, uh, I
think the Red Guardian, but a lot of the other
people might not be. So they kind of have some
(10:02):
new Avengers and they're like comic book accurate rise.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
They're just making it more confusing because it's not as
a group the Avengers. There is some crossover there in
different comic books and different storylines. So I think fans
are like, why are we muddying the waters here? Let
us just enjoy the Thunderbolts for who they are. The Thunderbolts, which,
by the way, if you haven't seen it, Shannon's right,
it is a good movie.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Have you seen it? Have you been out and see it?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Okay, you don't like you'll go.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
To movies outside, Well, I would have to convince my
wife to go with me.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Why you could go in the middle of the day.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
That sounds like fun, like into the mics. I haven't
done that in a long time, Grandpa.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
No, that's because I.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Have other things I'd like to do day, Like what
nap uh, grand Grandpa.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Definitely, if you get a chance to go see Thunderbolts,
it's definitely worth your time to get some popcorn there.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
And Stitch live action.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
This is very big news.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Actually, Lelo and Stitch is already out sold The live
action has already out sold pre sale tickets for any
other PG movie this year, including Minecraft Movie, Snow White
dog Man.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
It is. People are very, very exciting.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
What that basically means is that Disney has another hit
on their hands here in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
What was When was that original? When was Leelo and Stitch?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Oh gosh, the nineties? Maybe the mid nineties, ninety two,
thousand and two, Yes, I don't remember that twenty.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
Year old movie remade live action. Yeah, it looks good.
It looks like a lot of fun, I think people. Well,
I mean, low rise jeans are back. So what else
do again?
Speaker 8 (11:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Point I was going to make.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
I know, is the hibiscus is pattern?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Right?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Is that pop?
Speaker 6 (11:48):
It is Stitch a CGI character CGI? Yeah, I know
it's good though. It looks good. I think for its
purposes you almost kind of have.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
You're a run and stimpy person.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Would you rather have that?
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Or like someone in a suit, like a Stitch suit.
You don't want that. You want a CGI.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I don't need them to remake it.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
You just don't want it all at all. All right, Well,
I think it's going to do well.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
You know you felt so serious about Lilo and Stitch,
Lily Lolo.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Oh sorry, I again will sit this out.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Le Lo.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
The Disney adults are gonna love it, and so are
the kids. I think something else to look for Summer
of sixty nine. It is a comedy. It's kind of
being built as a raunchy comedy, but I think it's
more fun, silly rom com rather than raunchy. Despite the
title and the marketing, theater or on the streaming, it
is going to be in the theater.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Ah, I believe the theater.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Also, guys, Karate Kid the og Karate.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Kidd this it's it's og, but it's also not the
og because you've got Ralph Maccio, but you also have
Jackie Chan.
Speaker 6 (12:55):
So that is for the next one that's coming out
in May twenty third, that's Karate Kid Legend. But this
weekend in the theater, they are re releasing the original
Karate Kid.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Really Yes, and the remake with Smith with Jackie.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Chan and Jay Summday sixty nine is available now on Hulu.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Oh it's Hulu.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Oh you gotta pay for it. You gonna pay a lot.
Speaker 9 (13:17):
Disney plus who on Hulu do you probably if you have.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Disney plus you to pay if it's getting Wait, is
it being released at the same time in theaters and
on streaming?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I think so.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I thought I read that, but maybe I adjuncted south
by Southwest and was released.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
On Hulu May ninth today. There you go.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
Okay, but no Karate Kid the original. So for those
Gen xers who are feeling a little bit of nostalgia
and they want to go see that in the theater again,
this would be a good weekend to go and do that.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I think the unfortunate thing about that is the original
Karate Kid will show how ridiculous the uh the Karate
Kid YouTube you know, originally YouTube video series.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Was Honestly though, I kind of loved it, Did you
like it?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Cobra Kai?
Speaker 3 (13:58):
I liked the idea of it, Sure, execution was poor,
and because I mean, Karate Kid, the original was such
an homage to.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Living in the valley. Yeah, I mean that.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
You know, I didn't, not that I lived here, but
I know what that meant to people who lived in
the valley. Sure, and the Cobra Kai was done in
a Georgia like suburban Georgia, and you could tell it.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Was of Yeah, I mean again, that goes back to
why aren't we filming more in LA And I think
though that I think they did a good job with
kind of bringing these characters. It definitely jumped the shark.
After season three, I was like, why are we still
doing this? I love seeing Johnny all grown up in
this tortured soul, and you know, I thought that was
he and Ralb Montio had a lot of fun chemistry
(14:44):
together still, which was fun to watch. But yeah, I
mean I think the series was okay. It is what
it is, you know, just pure nostalgia, bit nostalgia baate.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Yeah that's good, you know what I mean? Yeah, it's true. Heather,
thank you, Good luck tomorrow. Thanks, thank you. You don't need.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Lucky you don't need Lucky Housecomedy dot com is where
you're gonna buy tickets.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
That's gonna be great.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Heather show tomorrow now.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Thanks you guys, and happy Mother's Day. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
All right, coming back, we are going to be talking
about something else. Uh, the CHP will be unleashing a
new line of cars to catch you doing, you know,
all that video game driving. When I read that this morning,
the video game driving, I thought, oh, is that what's
(15:28):
going on. It's true. People are driving like they're in
a video game.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM.
Six forty.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Radar screens at Newark at Liberty International Airport in New
Jersey went.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Black again today. Nothing to see here. Literally.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Air traffic controllers could be heard telling other planes that
the screens went dark. You could hear controller telling a
private jet coming in from Cyprus they had a brief
radar outage to stay out our above three thousand feet.
The outage happened about three fifty five in the morning,
New Jersey time. So there wasn't This wasn't the high
point in terms of the amount of traffic going into
(16:11):
and out of Newark. But still not good. They said,
the outage happened or sorry. The outage lasted about ninety seconds.
There are about twelve thousand shipping containers subject to the
one hundred and forty five percent plus tariffs that have
been levied by the President on Chinese goods coming into
the ports of la and Long Beach. We'll talk more
(16:31):
about that we get into we get into swamp watch today,
jury selection in the p Diddy trial or Sean whatever
you know, it is. They're gonna go They're going to
finish up on Monday. Prosecutors said, said they'll they're gonna
have an answer as to whether or not one of
the victims would testify. There was a question now that
(16:52):
that victim may pull out and not want to testify,
but they said that they should get they should get
a full jury impaneled by Monday, by the end of business.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Before we get to the CHP, I want to tell
you the story before I forget it.
Speaker 9 (17:07):
Okay, So I forget, I mean it's not really okay.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
So Amy Poehler, you know, Amy Pohler, just kidding, no, no,
kind of run.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
You and John Ham. You know John Ham.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
So at the time, this is the week of Ham
hosting SNL. This is two thousand and eight October two
thousand and eight. Ami Polar is a very pregnant, very
very pregnant. She's going to give birth like the day
after SNL, Like she's going to give birth on that
Monday or whatever.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
And she gets a.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Call when they're kind of going through. They had rehearsed
all day on that Friday. You know, she says she
was in like nine sketches or something that week and
she gets a phone call that night and there's still
at rehearsals and stuff, and it's that her obgyn had died,
(18:10):
like hen died, Like this was this man in his eighties,
incredible doctor passed away.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
She bursts out.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Crying in front of everybody, like all of the people
that are rehearsing, been rehearsing all day, very pregnant woman,
like a couple days away from giving birth, bawling and
nobody everyone's quiet, no one knows what to do. And
John Hamm goes up next to her and he's like, look,
this is a really big deal.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
You need to get your ass together. This is my
first time hosting.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
And she says she laughed so hard she was crying
and that she went into labor later on because she
thinks she laughs so hard, and like totally credits him with,
you know, taking a awful moment of just like oh my,
the emotional of being that pregnant and finding out your
doctor died and you're a couple of days away and
(19:01):
you've got all this going on, and that he just
took all that away like it was just like instant,
like oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
And I thought that was a wonderful moment.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I feel like that's something that you would do if
my doctor died and I was really pregnant, I think
that you would do something like that.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
I also feel like that can backfire if John Ham
or me, we're basically the same person. I felt like
humor was the was the best option at that moment.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
There are plenty of times where it's not.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah, But he knew her enough to know that that's
what right good I think, so I hope so yeah,
because it worked.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Because that's it. That can be a gamble.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
There are certain women women who when they're that pregnant
and they're like, that would not be the road to
go down.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Absolutely. But if you that person, I think that that
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
You're right.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
It's a real crapshoot, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
The California Highway Patrol has announced that they are going
to have secret vehicles that you can't see kind of listen.
They have one hundred Dodge Durangos that they have purchased
and will be putting on the streets and highways and
byways of the great state of California here soon. They're
black and gray and silver and not the traditional black
(20:26):
and white that you might see cruising the highways of California.
And in fact, these Durangos are going to be paired
with chargers and Ford Explorers. They said they hope they
can crack down on what the agency calls video game
style driving. People going pretty crazy. Yeah, and you see it.
(20:47):
Even for me, Friday is the lightest traffic day of
the week.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
I assume it. That's kind of for everybody else.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
And what that does is, instead of giving you the
natural traffic breaks where you slow down to ten miles
an hour or twenty miles an hour and then speedback
up to sixty or sixty five and certain stretches, it
opens it up and it allows people to weave in
and out of traffic to the tune of eighty five
ninety ninety five miles an hour at six point thirty
(21:17):
in the morning.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
There's two types of people.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Those types of people, and then sometime I encounter people
driving in the fast lane going sixty two miles an
hour to why why are you doing that?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
You want to drive sixty two?
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Great?
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Move the hell over, like what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
And then there's someone in the number one lane and
the number two lane and they're kind of neck and
neck going sixty two miles an hour.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Like the hell out of my way. I'm choosing violence
today being unaware.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
But I think that part of this is because I
still in my own personal experience, I still don't see
nearly as many CHP units as I saw a pre pandemic.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
It felt for a while there was no law out.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
There, you know, certainly during twenty twenty, and you would
never spot a cruiser, and you know, people were doing
ninety five. There was no one on the highways. It
was such a twilight zone and so crazy. But I
don't feel like they've come back the way that they
were once.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Uh so on the present on the on the highways, so.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
That if you drive up to say pass Robles, right
you take you go up by five and you cut
across on Highway forty six.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
That is a notoriously dangerous road. Right.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
What's his name?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
James j Jane got it? We both I couldn't remember
his name.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
I was gonna say John Dean, but I think he
worked in the Nickson second Sausages.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
No, that's Jimmy Dean. We got all the Deans work.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Fred Dean played for the forty nine er.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yes he did.
Speaker 9 (22:41):
Uh, there was a uh, we are in an old
folks home. Officially, Fred, that was a notoriously dangerous stretch
of road back, especially when it was only two lanes
most of the way.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Now it's expanded.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
But you used to see multiple HP cruisers on the
sides of that road, catching people in either speed traps
or just watching for somebody driving dangerous. And I'd drive
that all the time since that's where my parents' house is,
and that, like you said, they're gone. They just they're
not there in anywhere near the frequency that we used
(23:18):
to see them. So I don't know how much this
changes that you will see these Dodge Durrangos. They do
still have the Highway Patrol logo on the front doors,
and they will have the lights, but the lights won't
be on the top like you would see in a
regular cruiser. They'll be sort of embedded, kind of behind
the windshield and behind the front grate so that when
(23:41):
they do pull you over, you'll know it, but they should. Hey,
I wanted to point out that somebody on Instagram PVC Suede,
was commenting on our post from yesterday. This is the
video that you get to see Shanna get so excited
about an American pope. But PVC Suite on Instagram said
something really and said that they I don't know if
(24:02):
it's a man or woman, but PVC Suite has been
listening to us while starting chemo, So I just wanted
to say thank you for that. That's you've got bigger
things on your mind, but we're glad that you can
listen to us and have some fun, hopefully lighthearted moments
in that.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
That is very nice, and we are We're with you,
We're with you. Smokey Robinson is defending himself again. I'm
sticking to it here. I'm not saying Smokey's a saint,
but allegations like this don't just randomly come out in
your eighties. If you've been in showbiz for five hundred years.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Hey, Mother's Day is coming up and KFI is going
to give you a chance to win an experience as
unique as mothers Love.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Yeah, that's coming up at noon.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Complimentary eighty minute massage or facial at Burke Williams. We'll
tell you how you can win that gift certificate coming up,
but you can also go to Burke Williams dot com
slash Mother's Day for details.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Well, we told you about Smokey Robinson and these allegations
levied against him, rape and sexual assault against he and
his wife. Really it's a lawsuit from four former housekeepers.
His attorney now has come out and said these are
vile and false. The attorney's name is Christopher Frost and
says that the evidence will show this is simply an
(25:27):
ugly method of trying to extract money from an eighty
five year old American icon or I spend a lot
of time on this moving forward unless something crazy breaks.
But we mentioned the fact that Smokey Robinson's been accused
by these women of crazy stuff inside the home. These
women are looking for fifty million dollars in damages. By
the way, I also want to spend time to talk
about the defense of this as much time as we
(25:49):
talked about the allegations, because we're in a place where
we just don't know what is true, and I kind
of feel like something smells funny when somebody's eighty five
and these allegations surface that have happened in the past.
What handful of years. If somebody is this type of dude,
you're gonna hear allegations going back into the sixties for him.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
This is also and listen, I'm going to say this
as a man, because I don't it's different, and I
will fully accept that I don't quite understand what life
is as a woman. One of these women says that
she was sexually assaulted at least twenty three times by
this guy, twenty three times over the course of six
(26:31):
years while she was working for the rep for Smokey
and his wife is there. There's no other job, There's
no other there's no other option. And again, I know
it's I know it's not victim blaming. I'm not saying
that she should have, you know, sucked it up and
left or whatever. But I don't quite understand if if
(26:54):
work conditions are awful, yeah, that to me would qualify
as an awful working condition.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
I'll say this as a woman.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
If I'm employed by a housekeeper somewhere and the guide
is something like, I don't know what sexual sult means anymore.
Let's just say some say Smokey Robinson, I take a
job working as his housekeeper and Smokey Robinson grabs my
ass one day. As much as I love Smokey Robinson,
I'm out. I'm not going to stick around for twenty
two more times of ask grabbery. If that's what it
is or what have you. I don't know, and I
(27:22):
know that that can be construed as victim blaming in
the whole thing. But you're right, there's not. That's not
They're not being held against their will there. It just
seems like they were in the home, staying in the home.
If they let things slide, they let them slide, if
there was in Smokey's eyes or his wife's eyes, if
they thought that this was okay, this kind of environment,
(27:44):
because nobody ever batted an I maybe in Superstars do this.
They think that they can get away with something. They
try it, they get away with it, They're going to
do it again. That's just what the hell they operate.
But to me, it feels like these women were staying
in the house building this case to wink wink, nod
nod at each other like oh he did this, Oh
build it for the case, build it for the case.
(28:05):
And then all of a sudden, they hire a lawyer
and they're going after him for fifty million dollars.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
Come on, it just doesn't smell right.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
He does have a show tonight, by the way, at
least it's scheduled, assuming that it will go through in Biloxi, Mississippi,
in a theater at a casino there. So yeah, a
quick note just so you know, just because this is fun.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
Hello Shannon, Hello the Dynamic duo. I don't think you
guys know how appreciated and loved you are. I love
you two as a team. I love the entertainment that
you give me. I love the news that you deliver. Shannon,
your laugh is just amazing. Gary, you and your acceptable
(28:48):
face is perfect.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
That was very nice, very nice.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
I was very sweet to go into a Friday.
Speaker 4 (28:56):
All right, how come we never play all the vile things?
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Do you want me to start going through those two?
Speaker 4 (29:02):
We'll wait till late balance these things out there.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
It sounds like a Monday to me. All right, Gary
and Shannon, we'll continue right after this. 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

This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI

Speaker 2 (00:10):
The world is welcoming.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Pope Leo the fourteenth celebrated his first Mass today in
the Sistine Chapel. Of course, he was elected less than
twenty four hours ago, or twenty four hours earlier. That is,
he spent years on social media kind of going after
Donald Trump and back when he was not the pope.
I don't think he's going to continue doing that. His
(00:31):
final post on the cardinal prevost Twitter account x account
was a retweet of a message from somebody who was
slamming the president's partnership with El Salvador's president when it
comes to deportation of illegal migrants. The question actually came
up today amongst a or I should say, during a
(00:52):
news conference with American cardinals, was this cardinal? Was this
American cardinal chosen as a counter balance to President Trump?
And one of the cardinals out of New York, actually,
Timothy Dolan had said, that's not why we do this.
We don't elect a pope based on the political considerations
like that.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Can I tell you the story? Well, No, we don't
have time right now. I wanted to tell you the story,
and I will get to it. Of an article I
was written in this morning about John Hamm and Amy
Poehler and reminded me of your friendship, something that you
would do.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
A Soviet spacecraft, that Cosmos for eighty two men. No,
but they've narrowed it down. They said it is likely
to come down northern California.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
That's where I'll be.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Early Saturday morning. Where the way that they've narrowed it down.
US Space Force says it's either Gulf of Oman, Northeast Africa,
or Borneo Boo. So we're talking about thousands of miles
apart those those areas, so they're not quite sure exactly
where it's coming down.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
All right, Well, we have probably unfolding as we speak.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
In Van Eyes.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
The judge in the Menendez brother's case is going to
consider whether Nathan Hawkman and the DA's office should remain
on the case and if a parole board's risk assessment
should be allowed inside that courtroom. It's kind of misleading
the way they write that up CBS News, whether the
DA's office should remain on the case and s muddled
(02:26):
the judge back in April said the court, remember how
Gavin Newsom said, Okay, So, just to backtrack, George Gascon
in a hail Mary effort to save his job as DA,
decided to dive into all of the TikTok support the
Minetta's brothers have gotten, after all of the the docu
dramas that have been appearing on Netflix and the like.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
That's a perfect way to put it, the TikTok support.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, I think it's a perfect way to put it.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
And so he was saying, maybe, you know, maybe we
take off life without parole, maybe we give these guys
a chance at freedom, and then the TikTok people will
be happy. And then there was a new DA that
came in and said, no, that's not the case. And
everyone who looked at it has the same problem. Essentially
(03:15):
that these Menendez brothers are still lying about it. They're
still saying they didn't do it. They're still not admitting
to all the things that they've done, and that, in
the eyes of the law, is something that's not forgiven.
You have to come in and say I did it
and I'm sorry, and then maybe they'll think about letting
you out. It's just the way it works, and the
parole board is no different. I would assume that the
(03:36):
Parole Board at the behest of the gavenusom took a
look at the case and said, you know what, there's
no accountability here still, and so we cannot say that
they're going to be low risk when they get out.
If they're not going to own up to what they did.
Who knows what they could potentially do in the future
if they feel no remorse. It's almost like psychopaths. Right
(03:56):
So now it's kind of in the weeds right now,
But the judge is going to say that the court
has looked at that risk assessment report by the Parole
Board and decide if it should be used during these proceedings.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Why is this taking so long?
Speaker 4 (04:19):
That everything takes so long?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Is that what it is is just because I know
that this is a higher profile case. I don't know
if that has any bearing on it. It just seems
there's a lot.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
More paperwork and machinations and motions that are filed to
delay or deny.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I mean, it's kind of like.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Working with your insurance company, working with the justice system.
It's hard to get a hold of people. Stuff takes
too long, a lot more paperwork than you thought. Something
that should be cut and dried is never cut and dried.
So that's what we're dealing with. By the way, Mark Gergiz,
who represents the Menendez brothers, says he has not seen
the report and says it should not be used by
(04:56):
the judge to make any sort of decision regarding the
brothers because of executive privilege, because Gavin Newsom has the
executive privilege as being the governor and part of the
elected body of the state, which is separate from the
judicial body of the state. So that is his argument
(05:17):
about why the judge should not use this report, and
gerreg is arguing against the judge being able to look
at the report is evidence that the report is advantageous
for the prosecution.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Even though he claims that he hasn't seen it, or
at the time of the original hearing last month he
said he hadn't seen it exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
So we'll stay on top of that and bring you
all of the latest. No doubt there will be a
sea of cameras there to chronicle what is a procedural
day in the Menendez saga.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
All right, up next, we're going to do our Entertainment Report.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
We'll talk about what's coming out in terms of movies,
and in a few minutes, chp rolling out some new vehicles.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Heather Brooker is following entertainment news for us, and usually
we talked to her later on a Friday, but she's
got a skidaddle. She's been here since two in the morning.
So Heather, what do we have on tap this weekend? Well,
you guys know, Thunderbolts opened last weekend.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I heard of each movie. Fantastic, It's really good. It's
really a clap at the end of good.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Yes, that's how I felt. Yeah, my daughter, also, my
whole family. We just really enjoyed it, and a lot
of the fans did as well. It's the latest chapter
in the Marvel universe. These are some of the secondary
characters press yea extension of the universe. So what Marvel
has done, though, what Disney's done this week is they
have been planning this sort of post premiere, post to
(07:44):
release marketing, you know, splurge. You may have noticed on
the Thunderbolts title there's a little asterix at the end
of it. It's like Thunderbolts with an asterix. Well, literally,
just days after the movie opened, they had the stars
of the movie going around town and ripping off the
sign of Thunderbolts, like tearing away the paper of the
movie posters, and underneath it says the New Avengers.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
That's what the asterisk was all about.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
It.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I noticed it work, that did and it says New
Avengers because it's out here in front of the Disney studio.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
Yes, they literally waited like half a second to do.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
It made me wonder if there was like a steroids thing,
like what was going on, well.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
That that might be a little bit of an astro.
Why do we need it thunder Bolts? That wasn't a
question mark. I feel like they did this because Paul
fig is really trying. Not Paul fig. Oh my god,
I just forgot the name of the guy who's in
charge of Marvel Fig. No, not Paul fig who's Kevin.
I was like, I knew it was an F word.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
I feel like it's saw the same. Yes, yes, Kevin Fig.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
I was trying to make really trying to make a
link for the fans between the old Marvel you know
world that we know in love with the Avengers and
this sort of new path that they're going down. So
it's also a little bit of a joke in the
film and a spoiler alert. Fans were like, geez, you
could even have waited like a week or two for
us to go out and see the film before you
start calling it the New Avengers, which is a big
(09:07):
like spoiling point in the film.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
Yeah. So yeah, so that's what Disney's doings still gonna
do well the box office.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Isn't that rewarding the people that went out the first
weekend in Swimmer?
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Yeah? I don't think.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Honestly, I think most fans are kind of have mixed
feelings about it because they're not the New Avengers. They're
not the Avengers at all. If you're a comic book fan,
you know that they're not in the Avenger lineup at all.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
There Could they be the New could there be?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Or we okay, no, sorry, I'll sit this one out.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
My husband will be like, hey, hey.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Helmer has a point, Yes, Elmer, Yes, on the back.
Speaker 7 (09:41):
So there are the New Avengers and there's Mighty Avengers.
There's different like groups that come out of the original
and some of these people are in the group called
the New Avengers. But like it's just like the Century,
He's definitely in the New Avengers, and like, uh, I
think the Red Guardian, but a lot of the other
people might not be. So they kind of have some
(10:02):
new Avengers and they're like comic book accurate rise.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
They're just making it more confusing because it's not as
a group the Avengers. There is some crossover there in
different comic books and different storylines. So I think fans
are like, why are we muddying the waters here? Let
us just enjoy the Thunderbolts for who they are. The Thunderbolts, which,
by the way, if you haven't seen it, Shannon's right,
it is a good movie.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Have you seen it? Have you been out and see it?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Okay, you don't like you'll go.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
To movies outside, Well, I would have to convince my
wife to go with me.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Why you could go in the middle of the day.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
That sounds like fun, like into the mics. I haven't
done that in a long time, Grandpa.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
No, that's because I.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Have other things I'd like to do day, Like what
nap uh, grand Grandpa.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Definitely, if you get a chance to go see Thunderbolts,
it's definitely worth your time to get some popcorn there.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
And Stitch live action.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
This is very big news.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
Actually, Lelo and Stitch is already out sold The live
action has already out sold pre sale tickets for any
other PG movie this year, including Minecraft Movie, Snow White
dog Man.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
It is. People are very, very exciting.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
What that basically means is that Disney has another hit
on their hands here in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
What was When was that original? When was Leelo and Stitch?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Oh gosh, the nineties? Maybe the mid nineties, ninety two,
thousand and two, Yes, I don't remember that twenty.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
Year old movie remade live action. Yeah, it looks good.
It looks like a lot of fun, I think people. Well,
I mean, low rise jeans are back. So what else
do again?
Speaker 8 (11:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Point I was going to make.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
I know, is the hibiscus is pattern?
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Right?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Is that pop?
Speaker 6 (11:48):
It is Stitch a CGI character CGI? Yeah, I know
it's good though. It looks good. I think for its
purposes you almost kind of have.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
You're a run and stimpy person.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Would you rather have that?
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Or like someone in a suit, like a Stitch suit.
You don't want that. You want a CGI.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I don't need them to remake it.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
You just don't want it all at all. All right, Well,
I think it's going to do well.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
You know you felt so serious about Lilo and Stitch,
Lily Lolo.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
Oh sorry, I again will sit this out.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Le Lo.
Speaker 6 (12:19):
The Disney adults are gonna love it, and so are
the kids. I think something else to look for Summer
of sixty nine. It is a comedy. It's kind of
being built as a raunchy comedy, but I think it's
more fun, silly rom com rather than raunchy. Despite the
title and the marketing, theater or on the streaming, it
is going to be in the theater.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Ah, I believe the theater.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Also, guys, Karate Kid the og Karate.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Kidd this it's it's og, but it's also not the
og because you've got Ralph Maccio, but you also have
Jackie Chan.
Speaker 6 (12:55):
So that is for the next one that's coming out
in May twenty third, that's Karate Kid Legend. But this
weekend in the theater, they are re releasing the original
Karate Kid.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Really Yes, and the remake with Smith with Jackie.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Chan and Jay Summday sixty nine is available now on Hulu.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Oh it's Hulu.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Oh you gotta pay for it. You gonna pay a lot.
Speaker 9 (13:17):
Disney plus who on Hulu do you probably if you have.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Disney plus you to pay if it's getting Wait, is
it being released at the same time in theaters and
on streaming?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I think so.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I thought I read that, but maybe I adjuncted south
by Southwest and was released.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
On Hulu May ninth today. There you go.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
Okay, but no Karate Kid the original. So for those
Gen xers who are feeling a little bit of nostalgia
and they want to go see that in the theater again,
this would be a good weekend to go and do that.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I think the unfortunate thing about that is the original
Karate Kid will show how ridiculous the uh the Karate
Kid YouTube you know, originally YouTube video series.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Was Honestly though, I kind of loved it, Did you
like it?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Cobra Kai?
Speaker 3 (13:58):
I liked the idea of it, Sure, execution was poor,
and because I mean, Karate Kid, the original was such
an homage to.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Living in the valley. Yeah, I mean that.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
You know, I didn't, not that I lived here, but
I know what that meant to people who lived in
the valley. Sure, and the Cobra Kai was done in
a Georgia like suburban Georgia, and you could tell it.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Was of Yeah, I mean again, that goes back to
why aren't we filming more in LA And I think
though that I think they did a good job with
kind of bringing these characters. It definitely jumped the shark.
After season three, I was like, why are we still
doing this? I love seeing Johnny all grown up in
this tortured soul, and you know, I thought that was
he and Ralb Montio had a lot of fun chemistry
(14:44):
together still, which was fun to watch. But yeah, I
mean I think the series was okay. It is what
it is, you know, just pure nostalgia, bit nostalgia baate.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Yeah that's good, you know what I mean? Yeah, it's true. Heather,
thank you, Good luck tomorrow. Thanks, thank you. You don't need.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Lucky you don't need Lucky Housecomedy dot com is where
you're gonna buy tickets.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
That's gonna be great.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Heather show tomorrow now.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Thanks you guys, and happy Mother's Day. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
All right, coming back, we are going to be talking
about something else. Uh, the CHP will be unleashing a
new line of cars to catch you doing, you know,
all that video game driving. When I read that this morning,
the video game driving, I thought, oh, is that what's
(15:28):
going on. It's true. People are driving like they're in
a video game.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM.
Six forty.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
Radar screens at Newark at Liberty International Airport in New
Jersey went.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Black again today. Nothing to see here. Literally.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Air traffic controllers could be heard telling other planes that
the screens went dark. You could hear controller telling a
private jet coming in from Cyprus they had a brief
radar outage to stay out our above three thousand feet.
The outage happened about three fifty five in the morning,
New Jersey time. So there wasn't This wasn't the high
point in terms of the amount of traffic going into
(16:11):
and out of Newark. But still not good. They said,
the outage happened or sorry. The outage lasted about ninety seconds.
There are about twelve thousand shipping containers subject to the
one hundred and forty five percent plus tariffs that have
been levied by the President on Chinese goods coming into
the ports of la and Long Beach. We'll talk more
(16:31):
about that we get into we get into swamp watch today,
jury selection in the p Diddy trial or Sean whatever
you know, it is. They're gonna go They're going to
finish up on Monday. Prosecutors said, said they'll they're gonna
have an answer as to whether or not one of
the victims would testify. There was a question now that
(16:52):
that victim may pull out and not want to testify,
but they said that they should get they should get
a full jury impaneled by Monday, by the end of business.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Before we get to the CHP, I want to tell
you the story before I forget it.
Speaker 9 (17:07):
Okay, So I forget, I mean it's not really okay.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
So Amy Poehler, you know, Amy Pohler, just kidding, no, no,
kind of run.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
You and John Ham. You know John Ham.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
So at the time, this is the week of Ham
hosting SNL. This is two thousand and eight October two
thousand and eight. Ami Polar is a very pregnant, very
very pregnant. She's going to give birth like the day
after SNL, Like she's going to give birth on that
Monday or whatever.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
And she gets a.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Call when they're kind of going through. They had rehearsed
all day on that Friday. You know, she says she
was in like nine sketches or something that week and
she gets a phone call that night and there's still
at rehearsals and stuff, and it's that her obgyn had died,
(18:10):
like hen died, Like this was this man in his eighties,
incredible doctor passed away.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
She bursts out.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Crying in front of everybody, like all of the people
that are rehearsing, been rehearsing all day, very pregnant woman,
like a couple days away from giving birth, bawling and
nobody everyone's quiet, no one knows what to do. And
John Hamm goes up next to her and he's like, look,
this is a really big deal.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
You need to get your ass together. This is my
first time hosting.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
And she says she laughed so hard she was crying
and that she went into labor later on because she
thinks she laughs so hard, and like totally credits him with,
you know, taking a awful moment of just like oh my,
the emotional of being that pregnant and finding out your
doctor died and you're a couple of days away and
(19:01):
you've got all this going on, and that he just
took all that away like it was just like instant,
like oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
And I thought that was a wonderful moment.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I feel like that's something that you would do if
my doctor died and I was really pregnant, I think
that you would do something like that.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
I also feel like that can backfire if John Ham
or me, we're basically the same person. I felt like
humor was the was the best option at that moment.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
There are plenty of times where it's not.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah, But he knew her enough to know that that's
what right good I think, so I hope so yeah,
because it worked.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Because that's it. That can be a gamble.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
There are certain women women who when they're that pregnant
and they're like, that would not be the road to
go down.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Absolutely. But if you that person, I think that that
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
You're right.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
It's a real crapshoot, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
The California Highway Patrol has announced that they are going
to have secret vehicles that you can't see kind of listen.
They have one hundred Dodge Durangos that they have purchased
and will be putting on the streets and highways and
byways of the great state of California here soon. They're
black and gray and silver and not the traditional black
(20:26):
and white that you might see cruising the highways of California.
And in fact, these Durangos are going to be paired
with chargers and Ford Explorers. They said they hope they
can crack down on what the agency calls video game
style driving. People going pretty crazy. Yeah, and you see it.
(20:47):
Even for me, Friday is the lightest traffic day of
the week.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
I assume it. That's kind of for everybody else.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
And what that does is, instead of giving you the
natural traffic breaks where you slow down to ten miles
an hour or twenty miles an hour and then speedback
up to sixty or sixty five and certain stretches, it
opens it up and it allows people to weave in
and out of traffic to the tune of eighty five
ninety ninety five miles an hour at six point thirty
(21:17):
in the morning.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
There's two types of people.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Those types of people, and then sometime I encounter people
driving in the fast lane going sixty two miles an
hour to why why are you doing that?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
You want to drive sixty two?
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Great?
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Move the hell over, like what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
And then there's someone in the number one lane and
the number two lane and they're kind of neck and
neck going sixty two miles an hour.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Like the hell out of my way. I'm choosing violence
today being unaware.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
But I think that part of this is because I
still in my own personal experience, I still don't see
nearly as many CHP units as I saw a pre pandemic.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
It felt for a while there was no law out.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
There, you know, certainly during twenty twenty, and you would
never spot a cruiser, and you know, people were doing
ninety five. There was no one on the highways. It
was such a twilight zone and so crazy. But I
don't feel like they've come back the way that they
were once.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Uh so on the present on the on the highways, so.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
That if you drive up to say pass Robles, right
you take you go up by five and you cut
across on Highway forty six.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
That is a notoriously dangerous road. Right.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
What's his name?
Speaker 2 (22:28):
James j Jane got it? We both I couldn't remember
his name.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
I was gonna say John Dean, but I think he
worked in the Nickson second Sausages.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
No, that's Jimmy Dean. We got all the Deans work.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Fred Dean played for the forty nine er.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yes he did.
Speaker 9 (22:41):
Uh, there was a uh, we are in an old
folks home. Officially, Fred, that was a notoriously dangerous stretch
of road back, especially when it was only two lanes
most of the way.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Now it's expanded.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
But you used to see multiple HP cruisers on the
sides of that road, catching people in either speed traps
or just watching for somebody driving dangerous. And I'd drive
that all the time since that's where my parents' house is,
and that, like you said, they're gone. They just they're
not there in anywhere near the frequency that we used
(23:18):
to see them. So I don't know how much this
changes that you will see these Dodge Durrangos. They do
still have the Highway Patrol logo on the front doors,
and they will have the lights, but the lights won't
be on the top like you would see in a
regular cruiser. They'll be sort of embedded, kind of behind
the windshield and behind the front grate so that when
(23:41):
they do pull you over, you'll know it, but they should. Hey,
I wanted to point out that somebody on Instagram PVC Suede,
was commenting on our post from yesterday. This is the
video that you get to see Shanna get so excited
about an American pope. But PVC Suite on Instagram said
something really and said that they I don't know if
(24:02):
it's a man or woman, but PVC Suite has been
listening to us while starting chemo, So I just wanted
to say thank you for that. That's you've got bigger
things on your mind, but we're glad that you can
listen to us and have some fun, hopefully lighthearted moments
in that.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
That is very nice, and we are We're with you,
We're with you. Smokey Robinson is defending himself again. I'm
sticking to it here. I'm not saying Smokey's a saint,
but allegations like this don't just randomly come out in
your eighties. If you've been in showbiz for five hundred years.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Hey, Mother's Day is coming up and KFI is going
to give you a chance to win an experience as
unique as mothers Love.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
Yeah, that's coming up at noon.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Complimentary eighty minute massage or facial at Burke Williams. We'll
tell you how you can win that gift certificate coming up,
but you can also go to Burke Williams dot com
slash Mother's Day for details.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Well, we told you about Smokey Robinson and these allegations
levied against him, rape and sexual assault against he and
his wife. Really it's a lawsuit from four former housekeepers.
His attorney now has come out and said these are
vile and false. The attorney's name is Christopher Frost and
says that the evidence will show this is simply an
(25:27):
ugly method of trying to extract money from an eighty
five year old American icon or I spend a lot
of time on this moving forward unless something crazy breaks.
But we mentioned the fact that Smokey Robinson's been accused
by these women of crazy stuff inside the home. These
women are looking for fifty million dollars in damages. By
the way, I also want to spend time to talk
about the defense of this as much time as we
(25:49):
talked about the allegations, because we're in a place where
we just don't know what is true, and I kind
of feel like something smells funny when somebody's eighty five
and these allegations surface that have happened in the past.
What handful of years. If somebody is this type of dude,
you're gonna hear allegations going back into the sixties for him.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
This is also and listen, I'm going to say this
as a man, because I don't it's different, and I
will fully accept that I don't quite understand what life
is as a woman. One of these women says that
she was sexually assaulted at least twenty three times by
this guy, twenty three times over the course of six
(26:31):
years while she was working for the rep for Smokey
and his wife is there. There's no other job, There's
no other there's no other option. And again, I know
it's I know it's not victim blaming. I'm not saying
that she should have, you know, sucked it up and
left or whatever. But I don't quite understand if if
(26:54):
work conditions are awful, yeah, that to me would qualify
as an awful working condition.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
I'll say this as a woman.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
If I'm employed by a housekeeper somewhere and the guide
is something like, I don't know what sexual sult means anymore.
Let's just say some say Smokey Robinson, I take a
job working as his housekeeper and Smokey Robinson grabs my
ass one day. As much as I love Smokey Robinson,
I'm out. I'm not going to stick around for twenty
two more times of ask grabbery. If that's what it
is or what have you. I don't know, and I
(27:22):
know that that can be construed as victim blaming in
the whole thing. But you're right, there's not. That's not
They're not being held against their will there. It just
seems like they were in the home, staying in the home.
If they let things slide, they let them slide, if
there was in Smokey's eyes or his wife's eyes, if
they thought that this was okay, this kind of environment,
(27:44):
because nobody ever batted an I maybe in Superstars do this.
They think that they can get away with something. They
try it, they get away with it, They're going to
do it again. That's just what the hell they operate.
But to me, it feels like these women were staying
in the house building this case to wink wink, nod
nod at each other like oh he did this, Oh
build it for the case, build it for the case.
(28:05):
And then all of a sudden, they hire a lawyer
and they're going after him for fifty million dollars.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
Come on, it just doesn't smell right.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
He does have a show tonight, by the way, at
least it's scheduled, assuming that it will go through in Biloxi, Mississippi,
in a theater at a casino there. So yeah, a
quick note just so you know, just because this is fun.
Speaker 8 (28:24):
Hello Shannon, Hello the Dynamic duo. I don't think you
guys know how appreciated and loved you are. I love
