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):
Did you hear about Kanye West?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
He says, I see you white lotus, and I raise
you when it comes to incest.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Uh what, I kind of want to leave it there.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Just because it's giving Yeah, it's giving oxygen.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
To a crazy person.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I didn't see the first sweet I think I saw
a second one about him referring to a cousin that
was in the jail, in.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Jail somewhere, cousin that is locked in jail for life
for killing a pregnant lady a few years he says,
after I told him we wouldn't look at dirty magazines
together anymore. Apparently he had I did this to my
cousins this, Oh m hm.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Why would he put that on?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Because he's an insane person, and I I regret ever
giving him any oxygen because when insane people go, oh,
did you see Bieber by the way at Coachella? Yeah,
the video, he's not good, not good, not good. Part
of me is like, hey, maybe don't take videos of
this kid at every turn, and he won't feel like
he needs to escape at all with whatever he's escaping with. Yeah,
you know, it's part of it, is a celebrity part
(01:19):
of it. Like you want to disappear, you want to
be numbed all of it and get it.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
But my god, he looks awful.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
It looks like a fentanyl situation almost, and I'm not
saying it is, but he's kind.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Of hunched over like that, like a San Francisco street person.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Right, you know, except her neck right, super thin, but
he's always been thin, so I don't know. Listen, I'm
sure if you took film of me at Coachella when
I'm whatever twenty five, it wouldn't be great either.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
The big international story, of course today is that the
Pope has died. Pope Francis died at the age of
eighty eight. The Vatican made the announcement today, and we
don't know much about the ongoing plans of course for
funeral and then conclave after that, but we will follow
that story and bring you any updates. A couple of
quick comments to get to before we get to the
Kevin dy Leon story.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Hey, Gary and Shannon, just regarding those GP ones, man,
they work and you asked them all what kind of
stress put on the body. I was on them for
about four months and it was incredible.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I felt so much better good.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
I was doing so much better. And then unfortunately lost
my medical insurance could afford to keep them, and now
I get to gain all the weight back. That's a
meat problem. That's not a problem with the drugs, but
that's my fault. But no, they work, and it was
really good for my body. It was really good for
my health and really good for everything.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I would touch them just saying no, I know, they
absolutely work.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I just was talking about the stress on your body
that you don't even know about, like.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
The event that as it compounds, what comes on the end.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Yeah, yeah, Hey Shannon, Hey acceptable face Gary, thank god. Yeah,
I fell into that Ransom Canyon trap. To Shannon, I
what I don't understand they're said in Texas. If they're
filming in New Mexico, one of these filming in Texas,
I never get that cramp and rest in peace, pup.
(03:06):
And I know I'm a Catholic. And you know how
they make holy water, They boiled the hell out of it.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Have a good day.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
That's funny, Okay, with Oh Shannon's talk about processed foods.
Speaker 7 (03:20):
Has she given up her bacon, jerky, meat sticks?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I have just.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Wondering I have, First of all, I love processed foods.
I ate a box and I ate a box of
the Trader Joe's pita.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Chips by myself yesterday.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
All right, I am not holier than that when it
comes to processed foods. I did give up the bacon
every morning, and the jerky and the meat sticks because
my doctor told me. Because we don't want to do
ailment talk on this show quite yet, but my doctor
said I was going to have to go on some
sort of statin for my cholesterol, and I thought, why
not cut out my meat product consumption first and see
(03:58):
where that gets us. So I did cut off out
all that because I'm old now and I can't have
nice things like bacon every morning.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
You have nice things.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Former La City council member Kevin dally Oone is facing
a fine of over eighteen thousand dollars for voting on
some city council decisions When he was a council member,
he had financial interest in and he didn't disclose income.
This is I don't quite understand how things like this
(04:27):
if I don't know what his defense would be, but
assuming it's going to be the run of the mill defense.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Of I do know. I heard it this morning.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
His defense is it was all for the underprivileged youth.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I believe was such a good one.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
It's whenever just the John Cocher Johnny kenrule. When it's
for the children, it is never for the children.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
This ethics report that came out from the Ethics Commission
said that in twenty twenty and twenty one, Kevin dally
oone voted on three city council issues that benefited the
Aides Healthcare found and one that helped usc All of
those decisions, all of his votes made less than a
year after he had received more than five hundred dollars
(05:10):
income from each of them.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Huh, you mean a guy on the city council is
getting kickbacks for contracts the awards? Weird, not weird, happens
all the time, has been happening since the dawn of time.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
The fact that we're learning.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
About it, that we know about it means he is
so much worse than the others.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Well, and it's not just that he took more than
five hundred dollars whatever income from each give this a
little candor. In the twelve months after he got income
from the Age Healthcare Foundation, he participated in three separate
city decisions the effect that affected the foundation, in which
he knew or had reason to know that he had
financial interest. The report says Dalleon did not disclose more
(05:54):
than one hundred and nine thousand dollars in income he
had received from the foundation before before he took office
on the city council. Now you're asked or told, instructed
whatever to disclose this information before you get on the
city council. If anybody gave me one hundred and ten
thousand dollars, it's not something you forget. It's not something
(06:17):
you just go.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Oh, you know what, bookkeeping error.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
No, because Kevin dan Leone is always believed that the
rules do not apply to him.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
That's that guy.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
You, by the way, would be the worst politician I've
ever met in my life, Like literally the worst.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
That's the nicest thing you've said since you said I
had an acceptable face for.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Crying out loud. It was like Wednesday, I don't even
think it was. And then it gets drawn out. I
was just I mean, listen, your face is great.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
No, no, no, that was not very That was not true.
It's it's all the other stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I have a hard time complimenting your face because it's
not dissimilar from my face.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
That was funny.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
The picture that Richie posted last week and everybody said
we looked like brother and side did they?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
What picture was it?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
If it Richie posted it, it looks nothing like us because Richie,
God bless him, filters the s out of everything.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I mean, who are those people? Is this what you're
talking about? It's one that was right here with you
to get us trying to look at hug.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
I mean, look at how great you look in that picture? Easy,
I mean that is a handsome guy. Okay, now that's
not you.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Nothing to do with it. That's not you, Not really,
that's not me. But that's a Richie post. There's another one,
another one.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah, remember they Richie was trying to get us to
hug for thirteen seconds or whatever it was.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Oh that was I think a real Yeah. Oh so
we look like brother and sister in that picture. That's
what people were saying. Oh, yeah, well we do. We
probably are somewhere.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
You're listening to Irian Shannon on Demand from KFI AM six, forty.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
April twenty First, the big story internationally is the death
of Pope Francis Bells around the world, told in from
his native Argentina to the Philippines across Rome. Of course,
as news spread around the world, it was early this morning,
Rome time when it was announced by the Vatican that
(08:26):
he had passed away. At this point, the Italian media
had been reporting that he died from a cerebral hemorrhage
hemorrhage possibly a stroke, but that the Vatican has not
made it official as of yet. So President Trump is
ratcheting up his pressure campaign on Federserve chair Jerome Powell.
He called him a major loser in a Trump Social
(08:47):
post today Truth Social Post Today, warning that the economy
could slow down the less interest rates are lowered. Immediately,
He said that there could be a slowing of the
economy unless mister too late, a major loser, lowers interest rates.
Now doing great on Wall Street, the DAL is down

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Dozens of trees trees in downtown LA were cut down
over the weekend. This was not the city tree cutting services.
We don't know when it happened, but several trees cut
down between First Street and Wiltshire. You can see video
on social media. Trees down on Olympic and Hope fig Broadway,
(10:30):
Caesar Chavez Grand in front of Wells Fargo Center, Grand
and Fifth. It looks like they were cut using a chainsaw.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Some of them cut at the bottom, some of them
taken down several feet above the ground. In other instances
it wasn't a clean cut, leaving some of the trees
that were actually connected, but just connected by the tiny
little shreds threads of bark. I do think it's funny
that they point out that some of these were those
superhero trees, the drought resistance variety known as an Indian
(11:01):
laurel fig.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
We have so few trees in Los Angeles, the idea
that somebody would take a chainsaw to them is awful.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I mean, trees are beautiful.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
We need more of them, We need more shade, we
need more just more nature in downtown la.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
We both spend time in Sacramento, and I know a
lot of people make fun of Sacramento or they don't
think it's a it's a pretty city or anything. Some
of those downtown areas in Sacramento are gorgeous because of the.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Trees, trees, and well at Chico.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Chico is one of one of the things that drew
me there was the fact that they had all the
various difference flora and fauna donated, I mean, trees from
all over the world.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Run into a lot of fauna, a lot of just
wild creatures floating through there.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Sure, I had, I had fauna yesterday for Easter.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Easter morning, I wake up and I'm looking out my
window and there's three deer that are slowly walking through.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
The backyard Disney movie.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
It was like the train in Disneyland when you're in
the train and you go buy all the animals, the
animals go buy you.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
In the tunnel.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, you know the train you'd take from tomorrow Land
to the Other lands, right to the other lands.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
So you see animals in there.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah, you go through the tunnel, it's like the diorama
of like dinosaurs exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
So instead of dinosaurs, it was deer and they were
just chilling. They were not in a hurry. They were
enjoying their Easter morning. What I don't quite get is
that there's no surveillance footage of this. There's cameras everywhere, right,
and how somebody would get away with not just the
one tree, but the next one. I guess if you
heard it, you thought it would just be city crews
out there cutting trees down on Easter.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Well, and in the middle of the night, I mean,
there's probably not enough people that live there on a
regular basis that you know what.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
I was curious about if anybody did the whole Easter
egg dying of potatoes thing. Remember how the news media
was a flutter about people using potatoes because the egg
prices or so through the roof and people not being
able to get their hands on eggs. I think this
was a total media driven story. This was like poison
(13:10):
in the Halloween candy or the what is it? The
the nails and the flag, the razor blade. This was
one of those things that I think infiltrated Easter this
time around, of like, kids are going to be painting
potatoes instead of eggs?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
What the hell are you talking about? Who's painting a potato?
Tell me somebody who painted a potato?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Tell me?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Do you know anyone who painted potatoes instead of eggs
this Easter?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I would like to know. I'd like to hear from you.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
There were no There were deviled eggs actually at the
at my Easter dinner.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Oh where did you go to Front's house? Okay, did
you have deviled eggs? I did? I did have one
and it was great. Yeah. I love a deviled egg.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I also like to know the chain of custody on
my deviled egg and how long it's been hanging out.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Big deal.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
You don't care, your gut can handle anything. Don't then
don't bother with the adventure.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
You're not really if you're willing to, uh to go
for the adventure.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
It is an adventure. Deviled eggs are an adventure. But
the Easter egg hunt was all plastic eggs. Okay, Well yeah,
usually they are because you put stuff in them.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Ye, sometimes you just do it egg. Then you eat
hard boiled eggs for the next week.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Well, usually the hard boiled eggs are more for like
decoration on the table as opposed to hiding them. When
I grew up, really that became a food source for
the next week. Well, sure it was you ate them after.
I mean that was you didn't hide those? Did you
hide those as well?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Yeah? It was like, oh yeah, you hide them as well.
So then the kids would think hard boiled egg was
like a big deal. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
You know, I got to say yesterday I had no plans,
no family, uh, and uh I called. I didn't realize
that you would not have I told you this and
you didn't care.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Well, I didn't know you didn't have plans. I just
knew that that you were going to you had. Yeah, no,
it was fine.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
But it was thinking about how No, I mean, I
don't mean it was fine and that it's fine. I
meant it's really fine. God women can't say it's fine,
can you?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
You just can't.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
But I was thinking about, like I come from a
family that really did Easter up. I mean, like you know,
grandparents and aunts and uncles and all the things. Maybe
not the uncles, but like there was always like Easter decorations.
My mom always has Easter decorations, the old tables and
all the things, and the really did a big deal
out Easter, you know, the whole Jesus Rising things a
(15:33):
big deal.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Well it is, it happens to me, I will say
it was without kids. Yeah, it's a different. It's I
would have preferred. I remember when our kids were young
and that you know, the Easter dress that my daughter
would wear, and the hunts and you know, putting eggs
out and stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
That was always a good. Yeah, that was always a good.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Not so long ago, my cousin came over, this is
before she had her son, and she came over. It
an Easter egg hunt and it was so much fun
watching her, you know, go in the backyard and find
all the I mean she was thirty one at the time,
but still it was great to have that again, to
have somebody excited to find eggs.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Up, next, we're going to talk about some store stuff.
First of all, there's one great store that's expanding in California.
And then have you ever wanted to go into.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Target and just start tossing the place? What do you
mean tossing the plane?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
You know, toss it, just strove the mannekins off, the
tear the posters down.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I have noticed that Target has new mannequins inclusive. Still
no heads, no heads, but inclusive.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I mean, I'm just I'm shocked because that's where we
used to go out and driving like teenagers drive. That
was driving around that area all the time in West Barin,
and she.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Was an awful story out of northern California.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
SHP got a call there was a suv went off
the road Sandronimo Valley Road up in West Marin. Six
teenagers in the car. Four of them died. All between
the ages of fourteen and sixteen. The driver lived and
they were classmates at Archie Williams High School, which is
now used to be called Sir Francis Drake High School,
(17:23):
and it was one of those that they were that
they were changing names for.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
But I mean, I'm supprised. Yeah, it's awful. Awful.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Angels came back to beat the Giants with four runs
in the ninth inning yesterday I had before Angels had
the day off today before they host the Pirates. Dodgers
used to Freddie Freeman sackfly to score the only run
in a one nothing win of the Rangers in Texas.
The Dodgers move on to Wrigley Field tomorrow to take
on the Cubs in playoffs. In the NHL, the Kings
will host the Edmonton Oilers tonight, game one of their
(17:52):
Round one series. Clippers are in Denver again tonight that
I get to lead that one to nothing. Lakers are
in action tomorrow night against the Timberwolves again at Crypto
and again Minnesota won that first game, so they're at
one nothing.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
We got mail mail.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Let's see here here is a postcard featuring the assassination
site of President JFK.
Speaker 5 (18:12):

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Here you've got, of course, the Kennedy Museum. There, you've
got the perch there from what was.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
The Is that an old picture too? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
It is?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Yeah, Okay, I was gonna say, because those trees are
much larger now, right, the trees along the book.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
First shot, second shot, third shot, grassy.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Knoll, grassy noles up over there.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Old cars here, Yeah, the entrance to the County Jerald
where Oswald was to have been moved. That's from Casey.
Casey also wrote us, Hi, Gary and Shannon. You had
mentioned it would be fun to exchange letters by reusing,
re sharing what you receive. Here's a postcard with a stamp.
(18:55):
Please drop it in the mail to me. I'll figure
out a fun way to retch.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Turn it to you. And of course stickers you send

Speaker 3 (19:04):
You know what you're gonna want to let me mail

Boom and then he'll write in the and they'll send.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
It back, is what we do.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Don't again, don't mix those together. The package you have
there looks like it's you're mailing raw meat.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Well, I'm reusing the package the item came in, and
then I lacked packing tape, so I.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Used scotch tape, approximately fifty yards of scotch.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Tape to affix the label that you so kindly printed out.
We covered the label. How are they going to read that?
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Clear?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
It's the opaquekind. I don't know if that's well. I'm
going to drop it in the slot and see what happened.
To see what happens, Hi, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
My sister died marshmallows instead of eggs, and then she
used that she died bamboo skewer. The point to use
a different color than she dyed it to draw on
the eggs.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Aha. I did think that was going somewhere south as well.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
I was like, I'm very sorry for the death, and
she's hand it so chipper, you know, like my sister
died and I was like, oh no.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
And then died the eggs or marshmallows in this case. Yeah,
because you were asking who dies? Who dies of potatoes?
Nobody does it does? That was a media driven story.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
It was all television news that people are going out
and buying potatoes to die for Easter?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
All right?
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Up next, well to pay off that story about the
new locations for your favorite store and that family, Hey,
it stays in the family. The win in and ransacked
a target and the Colonies Crossroads shopping center in Upland.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
I envisioned your family when I was reading the story,
the four of us, Yeah, doing what knocking off a target?
Speaker 2 (21:44):
We were all wearing the masks of ex presidents or
something like that. Something. Yeah, it was pretty good. I
had it started. Pretty good.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Of course, the death of Pope Francis is the main
headline throughout the day. Today.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
We don't have a lot of details from the Vatican
as to when the funeral is expected to take place.
They usually do it somewhere between about a week after
the death is announced, sometime between like four and nine days.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I believe we've got twenty days of the one hundred
and twenty out of one thirty eight cardinals to meet
and start voting for ballots a day to get to
a two thirds majority. They whittle it down to two finalists,
and then and then we get a new pope, and
then the smoke comes out, the white smoke.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
We will talk more about it and we get into
swamp watch. But another signal chat controversy with the Secretary
of Defense, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, a bunch of
media outlets have said that Secretary Pete Hegseth created a
signal chat that included his wife, his personal attorney, his brother,
and some others and posted some military information sensitive military information,
(23:00):
maybe classified, probably not. But he's already facing questions for
the other things that were included on a signal chat
about the Houthis and Yemen and some planned attacks that
we had on them.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
The Dow is a mess.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
It's down over three percent three point one point five
right now because of the trade war that's going on,
but also because of Trump's criticism of Fed Reserve Chairman
Jerome Powell. He went on social media to call him
a total loser. Wall Street doesn't like that. They don't
like the Fed chair to be called a total looser.
(23:37):
It doesn't go over well when it comes to stability
on Wall Street and the global markets actually as well.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
There was a you may be seeing video of this
on social media soon.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
The FAA's investigating after a fire resulted in passengers on
a Delta flight had to be evacuated down emergency slides
and onto the tarmac and Orlando today, so as an
airbus A three point thirty had just departed its gate
to fly to Atlanta, two hundred people on board, and
a fire was reported in one of the two engines.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Flight crew did what they were supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
They evacuated the passenger cabin when flames in the tailpipe
of one of the aircraft's two engines were observed.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
So apparently they were able to get off safely and
take care of that there in Orlando.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Trader Joe's maybe coming to a neighborhood near you. Where
are the lucky places?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Should we have a drum roll? I mean I heard
Conway doing this like on Friday, but oh you did,
yeah a little bit. Yeah, probably not. Yeah, north Ridge
love it, Sherman Oaks for them, Tarzana.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Also necessary, Tracy Trace a little further away, and then
you kaipa.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Worth the commute. Tracy's worth the commute. My niece is
moving to Tracy in the next couple of weeks, so
good for her.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
You know the way you say that, though I know
it's a joke, but a little bit of a commute.
I mean Trader Joe's At one time it was probably
a little bit of a commune for you to get
to one that was close to your house.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Yeah, they're actually based out of Monrovia. Did you know that?
Speaker 3 (25:06):
I did know that, because I feels like we've talked
about it before, just how they determine where they're going
to be putting their space up and things. When we
got married, my wife and I lived in old Air
Force housing up in Sacramento, not because we were in
the Air Force, it was just that's why those apartments
were built. It was part of the Air Force. One
(25:27):
of the bases that was up there, and we lived
within walking distance of a Trader Joe's and it was glorious. Yeah,
it was so great.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
It was so much fun. It was easy. Everything there
was great. We grew up on that. I cut our
teeth on it.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I go through a phase like it's been twenty thirty
years since it was on my radar, but go through
a series of years of where I just cannot go
into a Trader joe because.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I want everything. Yeah, and I eat everything. You can't
live like this.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
My daughter has, she doesn't have a Trader Joe's in Waco,
but there's one in Dallas. So when my wife went
and visited her, I want to say February maybe, she
stopped in Dallas after she got off the plane, drove
to Trader Joe's, bought a cooler, put all the Trader
(26:19):
Joe's goodness that my daughter likes, and then drove it
to her in Waco and then returned the cooler.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
That's very sweet. I love that.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
So congratulations. There was a family arrested over the weekend
for jacking a target. A whole family. You know, you
don't hear about this enough.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Family's working together. Yeah, in a criminal aspect, you do not.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Family arrested for knocking off ransacking this target store in
Upland it's a nice target.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
I know that target. I've been in that target several times.
Big target. But now with family members.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
No, I mean, had my brother been along, we would
have jack to them, no doubt. The teen ager. So
it's a woman, a man, and a teen boy. And
this is at Colony's Crossroads shopping plaza. The teen and
his mother grab an electric mobility cart while the teen's
father follows along. They headed to different apartments, took a
(27:17):
large amount of merchandise off store shelves, including electronics, clothing,
and jewelry, then left the store without paying. I wonder
how many sins those medical mobility carts hide.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
What do you mean, how many they have had to see?
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Well, you see somebody in a mobility cart, you don't
think that they're a thief, do you?
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Son? It's the.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Innocuous cloak.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Yeah, you know you see a woman rolling around in
a wheelchair, Yeah, if your cart, you don't think.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
She's e If your theft protection personnel you look right
past that, you know a profile you can profile right.
Store employees reported the theft of least they showed up
in the area. They spotted the SUV nearby, and his
officers got close. The car stops in a neighborhood where
the teen boy gets out and starts running smart saying yourself,
(28:10):
he's watched the chases. He climbs over a backyard wall
in an attempt to escape.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
That's what they all do on the television.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
He was arrested. His parents were eventually pulled over. They
were taken into custody for retail. Legally, let's let's talk
about this. This is child abuse.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Would I would if I was a defense attorney, I
would swoop in and sign up this kid.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Child abuse.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
He's under eighteen, parents following orders exactly. Now, if I'm
the parents attorney, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna
pin it on the kid because the kid's a juvenile.
And if the kid's a mastermind of this plot, the
kid's not going to do any time. And neither were
the parents if they were just going along with this
awful bad seat of a child that they spawned.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Because they were afraid of him. Yes, maybe he was
a big kid.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
He sever this trial and you get a couple attorneys
in there to point the finger and this all goes
away real quick, and this family's right back out there
and their mobility cart knocking off a wal mart.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
There are different times when you frighten me and when
you wear that mask of defense attorney conniving, dirty ass
defense attorney.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
I missed my freaking calling gets cold in here all
of a sudden, I can do that, all right.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
We got swamp Watch to talk about more information about
the death of Pope Francis and this great story about
a seventy seven year old woman who has the cardiovascular
fitness of a twenty five year old.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
She is beating men in marathon. She ran the Boston Marathon.
Speaker 6 (29:38):
This one.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
I started watching or reading this article today and then
I stopped when it said inspired how you too can
start running, And I was like, oh, okay, running propaganda
I see I see every time every one in a while,
the running propaganda we'll get you, you know, and you'll
click on that and then you'll try to run and
it's awful.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Try to run awful, Gary not me. Today will continue
right after this. You've been listening to the Gary and
Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio ap
This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Did you hear about Kanye West?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
He says, I see you white lotus, and I raise
you when it comes to incest.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Uh what, I kind of want to leave it there.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Just because it's giving Yeah, it's giving oxygen.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
To a crazy person.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I didn't see the first sweet I think I saw
a second one about him referring to a cousin that
was in the jail, in.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Jail somewhere, cousin that is locked in jail for life
for killing a pregnant lady a few years he says,
after I told him we wouldn't look at dirty magazines
together anymore. Apparently he had I did this to my
cousins this, Oh m hm.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Why would he put that on?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Because he's an insane person, and I I regret ever
giving him any oxygen because when insane people go, oh,
did you see Bieber by the way at Coachella? Yeah,
the video, he's not good, not good, not good. Part
of me is like, hey, maybe don't take videos of
this kid at every turn, and he won't feel like
he needs to escape at all with whatever he's escaping with. Yeah,
you know, it's part of it, is a celebrity part
(01:19):
of it. Like you want to disappear, you want to
be numbed all of it and get it.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
But my god, he looks awful.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
It looks like a fentanyl situation almost, and I'm not
saying it is, but he's kind.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Of hunched over like that, like a San Francisco street person.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Right, you know, except her neck right, super thin, but
he's always been thin, so I don't know. Listen, I'm
sure if you took film of me at Coachella when
I'm whatever twenty five, it wouldn't be great either.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
The big international story, of course today is that the
Pope has died. Pope Francis died at the age of
eighty eight. The Vatican made the announcement today, and we
don't know much about the ongoing plans of course for
funeral and then conclave after that, but we will follow
that story and bring you any updates. A couple of
quick comments to get to before we get to the
Kevin dy Leon story.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Hey, Gary and Shannon, just regarding those GP ones, man,
they work and you asked them all what kind of
stress put on the body. I was on them for
about four months and it was incredible.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I felt so much better good.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
I was doing so much better. And then unfortunately lost
my medical insurance could afford to keep them, and now
I get to gain all the weight back. That's a
meat problem. That's not a problem with the drugs, but
that's my fault. But no, they work, and it was
really good for my body. It was really good for
my health and really good for everything.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I would touch them just saying no, I know, they
absolutely work.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I just was talking about the stress on your body
that you don't even know about, like.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
The event that as it compounds, what comes on the end.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Yeah, yeah, Hey Shannon, Hey acceptable face Gary, thank god. Yeah,
I fell into that Ransom Canyon trap. To Shannon, I
what I don't understand they're said in Texas. If they're
filming in New Mexico, one of these filming in Texas,
I never get that cramp and rest in peace, pup.
(03:06):
And I know I'm a Catholic. And you know how
they make holy water, They boiled the hell out of it.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Have a good day.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
That's funny, Okay, with Oh Shannon's talk about processed foods.
Speaker 7 (03:20):
Has she given up her bacon, jerky, meat sticks?
Speaker 2 (03:27):
I have just.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Wondering I have, First of all, I love processed foods.
I ate a box and I ate a box of
the Trader Joe's pita.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Chips by myself yesterday.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
All right, I am not holier than that when it
comes to processed foods. I did give up the bacon
every morning, and the jerky and the meat sticks because
my doctor told me. Because we don't want to do
ailment talk on this show quite yet, but my doctor
said I was going to have to go on some
sort of statin for my cholesterol, and I thought, why
not cut out my meat product consumption first and see
(03:58):
where that gets us. So I did cut off out
all that because I'm old now and I can't have
nice things like bacon every morning.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
You have nice things.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Former La City council member Kevin dally Oone is facing
a fine of over eighteen thousand dollars for voting on
some city council decisions When he was a council member,
he had financial interest in and he didn't disclose income.
This is I don't quite understand how things like this
(04:27):
if I don't know what his defense would be, but
assuming it's going to be the run of the mill defense.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Of I do know. I heard it this morning.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
His defense is it was all for the underprivileged youth.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I believe was such a good one.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
It's whenever just the John Cocher Johnny kenrule. When it's
for the children, it is never for the children.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
This ethics report that came out from the Ethics Commission
said that in twenty twenty and twenty one, Kevin dally
oone voted on three city council issues that benefited the
Aides Healthcare found and one that helped usc All of
those decisions, all of his votes made less than a
year after he had received more than five hundred dollars
(05:10):
income from each of them.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Huh, you mean a guy on the city council is
getting kickbacks for contracts the awards? Weird, not weird, happens
all the time, has been happening since the dawn of time.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
The fact that we're learning.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
About it, that we know about it means he is
so much worse than the others.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Well, and it's not just that he took more than
five hundred dollars whatever income from each give this a
little candor. In the twelve months after he got income
from the Age Healthcare Foundation, he participated in three separate
city decisions the effect that affected the foundation, in which
he knew or had reason to know that he had
financial interest. The report says Dalleon did not disclose more
(05:54):
than one hundred and nine thousand dollars in income he
had received from the foundation before before he took office
on the city council. Now you're asked or told, instructed
whatever to disclose this information before you get on the
city council. If anybody gave me one hundred and ten
thousand dollars, it's not something you forget. It's not something
(06:17):
you just go.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Oh, you know what, bookkeeping error.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
No, because Kevin dan Leone is always believed that the
rules do not apply to him.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
That's that guy.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
You, by the way, would be the worst politician I've
ever met in my life, Like literally the worst.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
That's the nicest thing you've said since you said I
had an acceptable face for.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Crying out loud. It was like Wednesday, I don't even
think it was. And then it gets drawn out. I
was just I mean, listen, your face is great.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
No, no, no, that was not very That was not true.
It's it's all the other stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I have a hard time complimenting your face because it's
not dissimilar from my face.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
That was funny.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
The picture that Richie posted last week and everybody said
we looked like brother and side did they?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
What picture was it?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
If it Richie posted it, it looks nothing like us because Richie,
God bless him, filters the s out of everything.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I mean, who are those people? Is this what you're
talking about? It's one that was right here with you
to get us trying to look at hug.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
I mean, look at how great you look in that picture? Easy,
I mean that is a handsome guy. Okay, now that's
not you.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Nothing to do with it. That's not you, Not really,
that's not me. But that's a Richie post. There's another one,
another one.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah, remember they Richie was trying to get us to
hug for thirteen seconds or whatever it was.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Oh that was I think a real Yeah. Oh so
we look like brother and sister in that picture. That's
what people were saying. Oh, yeah, well we do. We
probably are somewhere.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
You're listening to Irian Shannon on Demand from KFI AM six, forty.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
April twenty First, the big story internationally is the death
of Pope Francis Bells around the world, told in from
his native Argentina to the Philippines across Rome. Of course,
as news spread around the world, it was early this morning,
Rome time when it was announced by the Vatican that
(08:26):
he had passed away. At this point, the Italian media
had been reporting that he died from a cerebral hemorrhage
hemorrhage possibly a stroke, but that the Vatican has not
made it official as of yet. So President Trump is
ratcheting up his pressure campaign on Federserve chair Jerome Powell.
He called him a major loser in a Trump Social
(08:47):
post today Truth Social Post Today, warning that the economy
could slow down the less interest rates are lowered. Immediately,
He said that there could be a slowing of the
economy unless mister too late, a major loser, lowers interest rates.
Now doing great on Wall Street, the DAL is down

Dozens of trees trees in downtown LA were cut down
over the weekend. This was not the city tree cutting services.
We don't know when it happened, but several trees cut
down between First Street and Wiltshire. You can see video
on social media. Trees down on Olympic and Hope fig Broadway,
(10:30):
Caesar Chavez Grand in front of Wells Fargo Center, Grand
and Fifth. It looks like they were cut using a chainsaw.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Some of them cut at the bottom, some of them
taken down several feet above the ground. In other instances
it wasn't a clean cut, leaving some of the trees
that were actually connected, but just connected by the tiny
little shreds threads of bark. I do think it's funny
that they point out that some of these were those
superhero trees, the drought resistance variety known as an Indian
(11:01):
laurel fig.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
We have so few trees in Los Angeles, the idea
that somebody would take a chainsaw to them is awful.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I mean, trees are beautiful.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
We need more of them, We need more shade, we
need more just more nature in downtown la.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
We both spend time in Sacramento, and I know a
lot of people make fun of Sacramento or they don't
think it's a it's a pretty city or anything. Some
of those downtown areas in Sacramento are gorgeous because of the.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Trees, trees, and well at Chico.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Chico is one of one of the things that drew
me there was the fact that they had all the
various difference flora and fauna donated, I mean, trees from
all over the world.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Run into a lot of fauna, a lot of just
wild creatures floating through there.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Sure, I had, I had fauna yesterday for Easter.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Easter morning, I wake up and I'm looking out my
window and there's three deer that are slowly walking through.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
The backyard Disney movie.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
It was like the train in Disneyland when you're in
the train and you go buy all the animals, the
animals go buy you.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
In the tunnel.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, you know the train you'd take from tomorrow Land
to the Other lands, right to the other lands.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
So you see animals in there.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yeah, you go through the tunnel, it's like the diorama
of like dinosaurs exactly.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
So instead of dinosaurs, it was deer and they were
just chilling. They were not in a hurry. They were
enjoying their Easter morning. What I don't quite get is
that there's no surveillance footage of this. There's cameras everywhere, right,
and how somebody would get away with not just the
one tree, but the next one. I guess if you
heard it, you thought it would just be city crews
out there cutting trees down on Easter.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Well, and in the middle of the night, I mean,
there's probably not enough people that live there on a
regular basis that you know what.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
I was curious about if anybody did the whole Easter
egg dying of potatoes thing. Remember how the news media
was a flutter about people using potatoes because the egg
prices or so through the roof and people not being
able to get their hands on eggs. I think this
was a total media driven story. This was like poison
(13:10):
in the Halloween candy or the what is it? The
the nails and the flag, the razor blade. This was
one of those things that I think infiltrated Easter this
time around, of like, kids are going to be painting
potatoes instead of eggs?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
What the hell are you talking about? Who's painting a potato?
Tell me somebody who painted a potato?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Tell me?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Do you know anyone who painted potatoes instead of eggs
this Easter?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I would like to know. I'd like to hear from you.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
There were no There were deviled eggs actually at the
at my Easter dinner.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Oh where did you go to Front's house? Okay, did
you have deviled eggs? I did? I did have one
and it was great. Yeah. I love a deviled egg.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I also like to know the chain of custody on
my deviled egg and how long it's been hanging out.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Big deal.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
You don't care, your gut can handle anything. Don't then
don't bother with the adventure.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
You're not really if you're willing to, uh to go
for the adventure.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
It is an adventure. Deviled eggs are an adventure. But
the Easter egg hunt was all plastic eggs. Okay, Well yeah,
usually they are because you put stuff in them.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Ye, sometimes you just do it egg. Then you eat
hard boiled eggs for the next week.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Well, usually the hard boiled eggs are more for like
decoration on the table as opposed to hiding them. When
I grew up, really that became a food source for
the next week. Well, sure it was you ate them after.
I mean that was you didn't hide those? Did you
hide those as well?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Yeah? It was like, oh yeah, you hide them as well.
So then the kids would think hard boiled egg was
like a big deal. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
You know, I got to say yesterday I had no plans,
no family, uh, and uh I called. I didn't realize
that you would not have I told you this and
you didn't care.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Well, I didn't know you didn't have plans. I just
knew that that you were going to you had. Yeah, no,
it was fine.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
But it was thinking about how No, I mean, I
don't mean it was fine and that it's fine. I
meant it's really fine. God women can't say it's fine,
can you?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
You just can't.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
But I was thinking about, like I come from a
family that really did Easter up. I mean, like you know,
grandparents and aunts and uncles and all the things. Maybe
not the uncles, but like there was always like Easter decorations.
My mom always has Easter decorations, the old tables and
all the things, and the really did a big deal
out Easter, you know, the whole Jesus Rising things a
(15:33):
big deal.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Well it is, it happens to me, I will say
it was without kids. Yeah, it's a different. It's I
would have preferred. I remember when our kids were young
and that you know, the Easter dress that my daughter
would wear, and the hunts and you know, putting eggs
out and stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
That was always a good. Yeah, that was always a good.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Not so long ago, my cousin came over, this is
before she had her son, and she came over. It
an Easter egg hunt and it was so much fun
watching her, you know, go in the backyard and find
all the I mean she was thirty one at the time,
but still it was great to have that again, to
have somebody excited to find eggs.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Up, next, we're going to talk about some store stuff.
First of all, there's one great store that's expanding in California.
And then have you ever wanted to go into.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Target and just start tossing the place? What do you
mean tossing the plane?
Speaker 3 (16:27):
You know, toss it, just strove the mannekins off, the
tear the posters down.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I have noticed that Target has new mannequins inclusive. Still
no heads, no heads, but inclusive.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I mean, I'm just I'm shocked because that's where we
used to go out and driving like teenagers drive. That
was driving around that area all the time in West Barin,
and she.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Was an awful story out of northern California.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
SHP got a call there was a suv went off
the road Sandronimo Valley Road up in West Marin. Six
teenagers in the car. Four of them died. All between
the ages of fourteen and sixteen. The driver lived and
they were classmates at Archie Williams High School, which is
now used to be called Sir Francis Drake High School,
(17:23):
and it was one of those that they were that
they were changing names for.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
But I mean, I'm supprised. Yeah, it's awful. Awful.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Angels came back to beat the Giants with four runs
in the ninth inning yesterday I had before Angels had
the day off today before they host the Pirates. Dodgers
used to Freddie Freeman sackfly to score the only run
in a one nothing win of the Rangers in Texas.
The Dodgers move on to Wrigley Field tomorrow to take
on the Cubs in playoffs. In the NHL, the Kings
will host the Edmonton Oilers tonight, game one of their
(17:52):
Round one series. Clippers are in Denver again tonight that
I get to lead that one to nothing. Lakers are
in action tomorrow night against the Timberwolves again at Crypto
and again Minnesota won that first game, so they're at
one nothing.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
We got mail mail.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Let's see here here is a postcard featuring the assassination
site of President JFK.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Here.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Here you've got, of course, the Kennedy Museum. There, you've
got the perch there from what was.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
The Is that an old picture too? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
It is?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Yeah, Okay, I was gonna say, because those trees are
much larger now, right, the trees along the book.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
First shot, second shot, third shot, grassy.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Knoll, grassy noles up over there.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Old cars here, Yeah, the entrance to the County Jerald
where Oswald was to have been moved. That's from Casey.
Casey also wrote us, Hi, Gary and Shannon. You had
mentioned it would be fun to exchange letters by reusing,
re sharing what you receive. Here's a postcard with a stamp.
(18:55):
Please drop it in the mail to me. I'll figure
out a fun way to retch.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Turn it to you. And of course stickers you send
us stickers.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
You know what you're gonna want to let me mail
that because I've seen you mail packages before and you've
got a little bit of Ted Kazinski and you I do.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I don't know what you were doing.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Hey, this is the postcard has Terry's King Crabshack on
it from Juno, Alaska.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
That's cool. Do you want us to what should we
write in it. This is fun. This canna be fun.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
We're gonna have a pen pal in Casey's from Anahei.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Write whatever you want, Write whatever I want? Can I
have that the pen Hi, Casey, it's us happy. In
the next segment, we're going to read comic strips Motivational.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Monday Love Gary, I'm gonna sign your name and Shannon
Boom and then he'll write in the and they'll send.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
It back, is what we do.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Don't again, don't mix those together. The package you have
there looks like it's you're mailing raw meat.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Well, I'm reusing the package the item came in, and
then I lacked packing tape, so I.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Used scotch tape, approximately fifty yards of scotch.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Tape to affix the label that you so kindly printed out.
We covered the label. How are they going to read that?
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Clear?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
It's the opaquekind. I don't know if that's well. I'm
going to drop it in the slot and see what happened.
To see what happens, Hi, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
My sister died marshmallows instead of eggs, and then she
used that she died bamboo skewer. The point to use
a different color than she dyed it to draw on
the eggs.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Aha. I did think that was going somewhere south as well.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
I was like, I'm very sorry for the death, and
she's hand it so chipper, you know, like my sister
died and I was like, oh no.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
And then died the eggs or marshmallows in this case. Yeah,
because you were asking who dies? Who dies of potatoes?
Nobody does it does? That was a media driven story.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
It was all television news that people are going out
and buying potatoes to die for Easter?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
All right?
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Up next, well to pay off that story about the
new locations for your favorite store and that family, Hey,
it stays in the family. The win in and ransacked
a target and the Colonies Crossroads shopping center in Upland.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
I envisioned your family when I was reading the story,
the four of us, Yeah, doing what knocking off a target?
Speaker 2 (21:44):
We were all wearing the masks of ex presidents or
something like that. Something. Yeah, it was pretty good. I
had it started. Pretty good.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Of course, the death of Pope Francis is the main
headline throughout the day. Today.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
We don't have a lot of details from the Vatican
as to when the funeral is expected to take place.
They usually do it somewhere between about a week after
the death is announced, sometime between like four and nine days.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I believe we've got twenty days of the one hundred
and twenty out of one thirty eight cardinals to meet
and start voting for ballots a day to get to
a two thirds majority. They whittle it down to two finalists,
and then and then we get a new pope, and
then the smoke comes out, the white smoke.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
We will talk more about it and we get into
swamp watch. But another signal chat controversy with the Secretary
of Defense, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, a bunch of
media outlets have said that Secretary Pete Hegseth created a
signal chat that included his wife, his personal attorney, his brother,
and some others and posted some military information sensitive military information,
(23:00):
maybe classified, probably not. But he's already facing questions for
the other things that were included on a signal chat
about the Houthis and Yemen and some planned attacks that
we had on them.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
The Dow is a mess.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
It's down over three percent three point one point five
right now because of the trade war that's going on,
but also because of Trump's criticism of Fed Reserve Chairman
Jerome Powell. He went on social media to call him
a total loser. Wall Street doesn't like that. They don't
like the Fed chair to be called a total looser.
(23:37):
It doesn't go over well when it comes to stability
on Wall Street and the global markets actually as well.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
There was a you may be seeing video of this
on social media soon.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
The FAA's investigating after a fire resulted in passengers on
a Delta flight had to be evacuated down emergency slides
and onto the tarmac and Orlando today, so as an
airbus A three point thirty had just departed its gate
to fly to Atlanta, two hundred people on board, and
a fire was reported in one of the two engines.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Flight crew did what they were supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
They evacuated the passenger cabin when flames in the tailpipe
of one of the aircraft's two engines were observed.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
So apparently they were able to get off safely and
take care of that there in Orlando.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Trader Joe's maybe coming to a neighborhood near you. Where
are the lucky places?
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Should we have a drum roll? I mean I heard
Conway doing this like on Friday, but oh you did,
yeah a little bit. Yeah, probably not. Yeah, north Ridge
love it, Sherman Oaks for them, Tarzana.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Also necessary, Tracy Trace a little further away, and then
you kaipa.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Worth the commute. Tracy's worth the commute. My niece is
moving to Tracy in the next couple of weeks, so
good for her.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
You know the way you say that, though I know
it's a joke, but a little bit of a commute.
I mean Trader Joe's At one time it was probably
a little bit of a commune for you to get
to one that was close to your house.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Yeah, they're actually based out of Monrovia. Did you know that?
Speaker 3 (25:06):
I did know that, because I feels like we've talked
about it before, just how they determine where they're going
to be putting their space up and things. When we
got married, my wife and I lived in old Air
Force housing up in Sacramento, not because we were in
the Air Force, it was just that's why those apartments
were built. It was part of the Air Force. One
(25:27):
of the bases that was up there, and we lived
within walking distance of a Trader Joe's and it was glorious. Yeah,
it was so great.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
It was so much fun. It was easy. Everything there
was great. We grew up on that. I cut our
teeth on it.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I go through a phase like it's been twenty thirty
years since it was on my radar, but go through
a series of years of where I just cannot go
into a Trader joe because.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
I want everything. Yeah, and I eat everything. You can't
live like this.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
My daughter has, she doesn't have a Trader Joe's in Waco,
but there's one in Dallas. So when my wife went
and visited her, I want to say February maybe, she
stopped in Dallas after she got off the plane, drove
to Trader Joe's, bought a cooler, put all the Trader
(26:19):
Joe's goodness that my daughter likes, and then drove it
to her in Waco and then returned the cooler.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
That's very sweet. I love that.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
So congratulations. There was a family arrested over the weekend
for jacking a target. A whole family. You know, you
don't hear about this enough.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Family's working together. Yeah, in a criminal aspect, you do not.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Family arrested for knocking off ransacking this target store in
Upland it's a nice target.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
I know that target. I've been in that target several times.
Big target. But now with family members.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
No, I mean, had my brother been along, we would
have jack to them, no doubt. The teen ager. So
it's a woman, a man, and a teen boy. And
this is at Colony's Crossroads shopping plaza. The teen and
his mother grab an electric mobility cart while the teen's
father follows along. They headed to different apartments, took a
(27:17):
large amount of merchandise off store shelves, including electronics, clothing,
and jewelry, then left the store without paying. I wonder
how many sins those medical mobility carts hide.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
What do you mean, how many they have had to see?
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Well, you see somebody in a mobility cart, you don't
think that they're a thief, do you?
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Son? It's the.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Innocuous cloak.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Yeah, you know you see a woman rolling around in
a wheelchair, Yeah, if your cart, you don't think.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
She's e If your theft protection personnel you look right
past that, you know a profile you can profile right.
Store employees reported the theft of least they showed up
in the area. They spotted the SUV nearby, and his
officers got close. The car stops in a neighborhood where
the teen boy gets out and starts running smart saying yourself,
(28:10):
he's watched the chases. He climbs over a backyard wall
in an attempt to escape.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
That's what they all do on the television.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
He was arrested. His parents were eventually pulled over. They
were taken into custody for retail. Legally, let's let's talk
about this. This is child abuse.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Would I would if I was a defense attorney, I
would swoop in and sign up this kid.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Child abuse.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
He's under eighteen, parents following orders exactly. Now, if I'm
the parents attorney, what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna
pin it on the kid because the kid's a juvenile.
And if the kid's a mastermind of this plot, the
kid's not going to do any time. And neither were
the parents if they were just going along with this
awful bad seat of a child that they spawned.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Because they were afraid of him. Yes, maybe he was
a big kid.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
He sever this trial and you get a couple attorneys
in there to point the finger and this all goes
away real quick, and this family's right back out there
and their mobility cart knocking off a wal mart.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
There are different times when you frighten me and when
you wear that mask of defense attorney conniving, dirty ass
defense attorney.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
I missed my freaking calling gets cold in here all
of a sudden, I can do that, all right.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
We got swamp Watch to talk about more information about
the death of Pope Francis and this great story about
a seventy seven year old woman who has the cardiovascular
fitness of a twenty five year old.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
She is beating men in marathon. She ran the Boston Marathon.
Speaker 6 (29:38):
This one.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
I started watching or reading this article today and then
I stopped when it said inspired how you too can
start running, And I was like, oh, okay, running propaganda
I see I see every time every one in a while,
the running propaganda we'll get you, you know, and you'll
click on that and then you'll try to run and
it's awful.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
