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 (00:09):
Well, I'll take some pills, I guess.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
NBC News is reporting that the Trump administration has begun
some detailed planning for a new mission that would send
American troops and intelligence officers in New Mexico to target cartels.
They said that early stages of training have already begun.
These troops would operate under the authority of the US
Intelligence Community, known as Title fifty status. They said that
(00:37):
officers from the CIA would also participate, but at this
point pretty quiet in terms of anything actually happening. The
other big business story in medical I guess you could say,
Kimberly Clark is buying tailan allmaker Kenview in a cash
and stock deal worth about fifty almost fifty billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
There is the ozembic effect that is now hitting the
statistics when it comes to obesity. We will let you
know what that show is coming up later in the show. Also,
Starbucks everywhere, They continue to pop up on every vacant
corner dwelling. And there is a new report this is
the future of coffee, not Starbucks.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
So we'll tell you what is and what will happen
to all those Starbucks. It's Chinese. I think it's Chinese.
Is that what we're talking about the future of coffee?
You'll have to listen to the show. We'll have to
find out this show. This show. There's so much information
that comes out of one little show.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I'm glad you bring that up. If you miss any
part of the show, you're missing a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah, so to miss a day, you miss a lot.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Okay, so I changed it a little bit, so I
didn't so you weren't actually stealing ly stealing? Okay?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
What is that from KFBK.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I thought it was kPa Y, Yes it was.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I never worked there, but you did. Yeah, I thought
that was THEIRS.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I think. I mean, I'm sure there's probably had to be.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
There are different radio stations.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Are you miss a day?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
You miss KFBK was KFBK was? Remember today you listen
to news talk fifteen thirty KFBKN. It was like this
sexy women's voice that I can't do generally sixy but
it was back when you had to remember what station like.
The ratings books were actual books. They would send out
to people get a write down. So a way to
(02:22):
get you to remember which station you listened to was
to have a sexy female voice trance like tell you
remember today you listened to News Talk fifteen thirty Very sleepy.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Okay, So California fire officials have proposed zone zero regulations.
If you're a homeowner, this would mean that you would
have to create a fire resistant specifically an ember resistant
zone around your house. This was supposed to be in
place a few years ago, but all of this has
(02:58):
been stuck in not just the public outrage, but also
the political bureaucracy that comes with anything from new rules.
Both CalFire and the Border Forestry and Fire Protection visited Brentwood,
for example, and Altadena where they're trying to figure out
how best to rebuild. But at this point there are
(03:22):
concerns when people are trying to rebuild whether or not
they're going to be able to follow those zone zero
rules that have been proposed. For example, over in Altadena,
officials showed residents a home they claimed was spared thanks
to the removal of vegetation near the home, But the
residents said, wait a minute, there's a home across the
street that doesn't follow your zone zero plans, and it
(03:44):
also survived. So there's no guarantee to say, just clearing
the brush or plants or whatever it is around your
home is going to guarantee that your home survives one
of these fire storms. And they said that this is
this huge just kind of the dipping your toe into
the water over the debate of what these homes should
(04:06):
look like when they are rebuilt in these areas. They said,
these zone zero regulations were required by a law that
was passed back in twenty twenty and these they kind
of fizzled out after fire officials struggled to agree on
how to navigate this theory about what actually prevents fires
(04:28):
from destroying specific homes and what was reasonable to ask
of residence. So if I live in a relatively dangerous
I mean not the highest threat in terms of fire danger,
but a high threat, and I have plants all over
the house outside, and what these zone zero regulations would
require is a lot of that stuff would have to
(04:50):
be moved or just be replaced. You wouldn't be able
to have in some cases, wouldn't bark as decorative bark
in a plant area near your house because that bark
could potentially give rise if an ember were to fall
on to.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
It to give rise to a fire.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
So Thelma Waxman is the president of the Brentwood Homeowners Association.
She's working to certify neighborhoods in the area as fire safe,
but says the science tells us it doesn't make sense.
The fire officials, these are her words, are ignoring it
because they have to come up with something. So she says,
if I'm going to go to my members and say, Okay,
(05:28):
you need to spend five thousand doing one five thousand
dollars doing one thing to protect your home, it's not
going to be remove hydrated vegetation, because that's the other
part about it. Some of the Zone zero regulations have
suggested that all plants, no matter how well watered they are,
all plant material needs to be moved away from your
(05:51):
home because of the potential for them to become fire problems.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
You know, I saw what I was looking through news
this morning. A headline pitched to me from Health magazine,
and the headline was this what you should know about
peeing in the shower, And I thought, how silly of
a headline, And then I remembered that's not the first
time I've seen it, because we actually did the story
the first time I saw it, which is also troubling,
(06:20):
Like you said, a third of the county on food stamps, troubling.
The fact that we're doing routine headlines about peeing in
the shower, do or don't what to know? Also troubling
for the state of humanity, which is why I'm also
curious as to why the aliens are not probing us.
They came, they saw, they did not conquer. What happened
(06:42):
with that over the weekend. They may have been busy
watching baseball, right, they got sidetrack. Do you think they
just came for the end of that series to check
it out from close by?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
They may have had something to do with that, like
they wanted to give us one good something to do
before when they come and start the probes.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
That's the only thing that can explain everything that went
on in that season in that series.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah, that's a good point outside interferrestrial manipulation.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah, alien interference. Oh, we have a chance for you
to win a thousand dollars coming up.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Forty Michael Monks is out at the parade row. We'll
check in with him here in a few minutes. Celebrating
the Dodgers win of the World Series last night, I
had made a comment that it's a game seven. Well,
the whole series kind of had a little bit of
everything that is baseball that makes baseball so much fun
to watch, to play, et cetera. And I referenced the
(07:42):
ground rule double where the ball just plunked down underneath
the padding in the outfield wall, and somebody said it
wasn't a ground rule double and it doesn't matter, but
he guess family.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Can we not question Gary the ra on rules?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
That's what I reminer man.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
We're talking about Resident Advisor Darry Puffin, all right, and
I'm Gary.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I know all the rules.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I don't know all the rules. I know that rule.
They're probably going to separate about this all day.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
It's just one of those things that if you're gonna
if you're gonna call and leave a talkbag and say
that that is not a ground rule double, I don't.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Oh, because everybody's always right on that thing. Huh.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Well, that's that's the part about it. That's the easy one.
That's that that's an easy.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
All right, let's not perseverate, right, Let's give away thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
We will go back to the parade coming up after
Deppor's news at the bottom of the hour. Michael Monks
has been posted up all morning long, and a lot
of celebration downtown. The trains are packed, Dodger Stadium's gonna
fill up, and just a day of celebration for back
to back champions, your Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
But in the meantime, it's time for terror in the sky.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Why you darro Nire, you're aware every day?
Speaker 7 (09:36):
Off Roger, get off my plane.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Roger Rogers. What's our Victor?
Speaker 6 (09:41):
Victor?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Enough is enough?
Speaker 5 (09:43):
I have had with these munkey pipe snakes on this money.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
It's Gary and Shannon's terror in the skies on KFI.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Well, as I mentioned, we were stuck last night on
the tarmac in Nashville for three hours because a ground
delay at LAS, and when I looked elsewhere, it was
par for the course. Major airports LaGuardia, JFK, Newark, San Diego,
lax oh Hair all had cascading disruptions throughout the weekend
(10:15):
as air traffic controllers who are working without pay called
out of work. Flight Aware documents real time historical flight
tracking data as well.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
It has all of these.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Airports up and they have been looking at all of this.
There have been more than nine thousand flight delays since Friday.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
You mentioned obviously lax San Diego, but I mean those
seventeen airports across the country considered some of the largest Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Denver,
places like that, and then the big ones in New
York City, in the East Coast, including Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
They're all suffering.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Again, it's not necessarily that there is a massive problem
at one airport that then ripples out. It's these smaller
ripples at each of these individual airports in some cases
that then cause delays over and over. Then they start
to compound on each other. As of right now, the
weekend number is in and the weekend the FAA said
(11:16):
that there was let me.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Trying to make sure I have the right term, that
they used.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Staffing triggers ninety eight staffing trigger reports at different FAA facilities,
which just means that the air traffic controllers there had
to adjust the operations to maintain airspace safety. That means
that there were fewer people on the job. Again, air
traffic controllers are required to go to work, but as
(11:43):
we've seen, they're not getting paid now. I think it
was on Wednesday, Tuesday or Wednesday of last week was
their first missed paycheck as a result of the government shutdown.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Well, think about yourself, think about where you're at. As
Sean Duffy, Transportations secretary said on CNBC over the weekend,
none of these people can miss two paychecks. I mean,
imagine if you missed two paychecks, all of a sudden
you can't pay the mortgage.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
You know, home finances fall apart.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
You got to take a look at taking a second
job or quitting and getting into another line of work
right away. I mean, it's very real for a lot
of people. You know, you think of childcare alone. If
you're going to work. Air traffic control our job and
you've got to pay for a couple kids in childcare.
(12:37):
Where's the money for that if you're not getting paid?
So how can you go to work? Not even why
would you go to work, but how can you.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
He did say that's again, Sean Duffy's Transportation secretary. You'll
see more delays, you'll see more cancelations of flights, and
that's because we slowed traffic down because we don't have
enough controllers in those towers and the tray cons to
make sure that we can navigate the flights. So that's
a tool that they have to keep the system safe.
And he said if air travel was unsafe, in his opinion,
(13:07):
the Transportation Department would shut the whole airspace down. He said,
we will not let people travel, but we are definitely
not at that point at right now. We are just
dealing with some significant delays because of this.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah, and you know, the question arose in my mind
last night as we were sitting there for three hours
on the tarmac of how much of this is political,
like how much of this is necessary shut down and
how much of it is Oh, look, we can't even
the station. The country is immobilized because we are important
and we need to be paid.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
And I get that, and they have a very they
have a lot of.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Leverage, and if there's no movement in the next couple
of days, this will set the record is the longest
government shut down. And I think that's a gamble that
both sides are taking, because the Democrats are seeing the
polling which suggests that since Republicans are in control of
Congress in the White House, they're the ones who should
be responsible for this. Republicans in the White House and
(14:02):
Congress are pointing at the Democrats and saying, we could
have avoided this. We've tried to vote thirteen is I
think it's thirteen times now on this continuing resolution to
get the government back open while we negotiate all these
other things.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
It is split party lines.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Nobody's even getting into the minutia of which Democrats are involved.
And what Trump's role is. It's just either called Trump
shut down or the Democrats shut down.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
And that's just the way people are looking at it.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Up next, a little bit happier, we'll be talking with
Michael Monks out there on the parade route for the
Dodgers World Series parade.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
The big celebration, of course for the Dodgers taking place
at Dodgers Stadium today. That's a part of the Black
Eyed Peace.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Hey, I maybe I am the many years old that is.
I don't know who celebrities are any Well, that's where
I am, right, Yeah, I got that. I don't know
who the other guy is. You think that's Flea, No,
the other guy Anthony? Yeah, no, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Wow, Grandma, it's time for me to tell you about
late nineties music.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Well, we were at the World Series of Flee was
out there for the first pitch and I go.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I just saw him in Brazil.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I was like, no, I didn't. I saw Green Day
at Brazil. Idiot, old freaking Grandma. I'd like to meet
that person too, the you that yells at you. Oh,
it's in my head all the time.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I know that's why I'm that voice that you don't
have in your head. Mine just yells at me because
I have some suggestions for her. Oh really yeah, what
would you suggest? Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Nothing, just to be nicer to her, really yeah, And
that voice won't learn that she's enough.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Michael Monks is joining us. He is live out in
downtown l A. Always gotten away from the children. Apparently,
I guess the restraining order finally kicked in.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
No, I think they just got a little tired.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
They're still here. They're still here, don't wake them.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
They're waiting.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
There were some beach balls and some tennis balls being
thrown around, and I think everybody got a little tired.
Speaker 6 (16:10):
It's been weird because you can feel, you can taste
that this thing's about the start.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
People have been waiting for hours and hours, but now
it's sort of that antsy weight.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Well, they they they left.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
They loaded the players up outside of the Criminal Courts building,
and they they changed that this year because the team
was so late making the parade route last year. So
they're going to get to you sooner than they did
last last year.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
That's good, that's good. I know these fans are I mean,
they are cheering for any vehicle that goes by. Right now,
You've just got a couple of unmarked well I should say,
two black SUVs with just Dodger signs on the side
of them.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
No, no players, no manage.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
That's how I mean that would give.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
People have been.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
Cheering for everything, and the streets are packed. People are
climbing trees, they're climbing street signs.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
To get a good view. They're ready for this thing
to get going.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
And then, of.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
Course, after this parade is finished, there's a celebration at
at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
But in the meantime, I mean, if you're planning to
come down, you're probably a little too late.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
If you're here, it might be a bit of a.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
Madhouse to get out of downtown. The trains have been packed,
streets are blocked off. It's a bit of a mess.
But I think if you asked anybody in this large
sea of blue whether it was worth it, the answer
would be yes.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Does that kid need his own he's thirsty. I don't
want this kid to die.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
I need everybody to stop talking about water and drinks.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
They need sacks.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
Get this done.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
The kids need.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Just think of the waterfall of fun. You got to
be prepared out there as a parent, Michael, You've.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Got to have a two liter bottle or something. Yeah, well, you.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
Know I couldn't now, I mean I would be exposing.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
To get priors.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
I know there's a mandate. There's a mandated reporter around
your screw.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
I'm going to have to ask these deputies where the bill.
Let me slither into the county building and move.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
On with my life. I love it when the people
climb the light poles.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
They're they're climbing the light poles in Chinatown too, And uh,
that just seems like a lot of effort.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
That is a lot doesn't look like arm strength.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Right, that's an upper arm, shoulder stru Yeah, you have
them some inner thighs to grip that pole as you're
going up to Gary.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Do you think you could climb a pole right now?
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Michael, do you have the inner thigh strength to climb
a pole?
Speaker 6 (18:32):
I could do it.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
I could absolutely climb that pole.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I did that was very confident. Well do you have
one of those?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I see see, I see Michael. I know his mom's Pam.
I know they're from Kentucky. And I see Pam being
an early adopter of the thigh master with Suzanne Summers.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Maybe what I remember my mom doing is jazzer side.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yes see. And I bet she had a thigh master.
I bet Pam Dad.
Speaker 7 (18:57):
I don't remember that, but I know that she was
relatively acting, you know she was and law enforcement of course.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Oh yes, she could several different ways. Yeah, you know
she had. She had a menu of different ways. She
could kick your ass, she could kill you. It seems
like it's really like a family as opposed to our conversation.
It seems like it's a real family friendly atmosphere out
there that everyone's cool.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
It's just like a celebration.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
Oh, it's been totally positive. There's been no problems at all.
The only disruption and it went by really without.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Any fanfare at all. There was a homeless guy with
an exceedingly.
Speaker 7 (19:29):
Large cart who passed by here a couple of hours ago,
and it was really there was really too many people
for to get pat Everyone moved, nobody said anything.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Just one even he wasn't just one.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Wow, it's been so clean and pleasant down here today.
Everyone is just climbing. Everyone is so excited completely.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
You know, different experience you can have in LA sometimes,
but this has been a really good day.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
So well, there's now on NBC showing the Dodgers on
the top deck of the bus. There's show hey all
wearing their Black brand Spank and New World Series T
shirt shirts. The gray hats are really good looking that
they have on as well.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
So this crowd's going to erupt.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Oh, it's gonna go crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
So it looks like they're just waiting, but the team's
been loaded up on these buses, so only a matter
of time.
Speaker 7 (20:21):
Michael, Well, I think it was supposed to start at
eleven fifteen. Yeah, and if you guys want to pomp
back over to me around that time, we'll see where
we stand.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Sounds good. We'll catch up with you in the next hour.
Stay safe out there, you got it. Oh. Ps, I
met a Gas family member yesterday in Nashville on the field.
Oh really, yeah, I think his name. I might be
screwing it up. I think it was Henry. And Henry goes, oh,
I listen to you guys all the time. He says
he's from San Diego. He lives in San Diego, and
(20:51):
he said you guys pissed me.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Off a lot.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
And I said, I'm sorry, Henry, and he goes, but
I love you, and I said, we love you too,
and then I'm leave and then he goes, stay dry
out there, and I go thanks, and I walk away
because it was drizzling a little bit. And I walk
away and I was like, oh.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I get it. I go back. I just got the joke.
Ten years.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
We've been saying that for ten years, and you get it.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
And he knows me so well. He just looked at
me like, of course you didn't get it. Of course.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
They are also showing some of the live pictures. The
TV stations are getting there what would you call it
vantage point on some of the player buses. Yeah, so
they are gearing up that for that parade, which is fun.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I guess that's I guess it's fun.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
So can anyone tell me why the Dodgers winning is
such a big deal.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
It's just a stupid baseball game. Who cares? Is that
the period guy? No, it's not, but it sounds like
just for happened to that guy?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Somebody have fun for a while and he died the
Pyramid guide did he die? I don't think so okay,
because we haven't heard from him. Yeah, and you know
he couldn't quit us.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Should we get his messages anymore? Oh? Really? We have
blocksome people, Yes we have, don't you know what?
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I will say this. I was around a lot of
Padres fans over the weekend. Oh yeah, because of said Chargers,
and the Padres fans took.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
It really hard.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Yeah, really hard, like as hard as Toronto Blue Jays
fans took it almost And it was odd, you know,
just thinking like why are the pot Giants fans aren't
taking it hard?
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I do think it's funny postseason, regardless of the sport,
there's a postseason thing. If your team gets knocked out,
who do you root for. I was talking with a
buddy who's a huge Yankees fan, and he was pulling
for the Dodgers one thousand percent because they because the
Blue Jays knocked out the Yankees, okay.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Which was kind of a funny thing because.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
I mean, I'm for the same reason I was rooting
for the Blue Jays because I'm I'm a Giants fan,
so I don't want the dot. I mean, it's I know,
I it's just that funny, you know, you give up
an allegiance for a couple of weeks in the in October.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, and I just I just don't understand the complete
disheartenment of watching your your rival win until I framed
it in my life and I was like, well, how
did I feel when the Seahawks won the Super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I felt awful. I hated that next day so much.
I hated it. So I get it, padres fans, and
maybe next year.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Obcity rates are down. That's good. I'll tell you why
when we come back.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Yeah, it'll be fun. We'll just gain right now. Nobody
will listen.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Yeah, nobody will listen to it, but we can talk
crap about people we don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yourself. You're just like, I just need this cathartic release
from the show I.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Did Gary and Shannon kf I AM six forty live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We have long lamented the
fact that people are getting fatter. It's not good. It's
not good for anybody. Yeah, it's not good for It's
not good for anybody. It's not good for.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
You if you're the one getting fat.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
It's not good if you have other health issues and
someone who's fat is taking up time and the health
and your doctor and all that sort of.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
It's not good for anybody. Should I put this on
the messageway.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
We should all hummus is the least of your problems. Okay,
we should all be more fit period, just healthier, fitter.
There is something going on that adult OBESID in the
United States peaked somewhere between twenty one and twenty two.
(24:58):
Twenty one and twenty twenty two, we were all neck
deep in COVID. We were sick of rules, we were
eating like crap, We weren't moving around. They told us
to sit around on our couch, that it was the
safest place to be. We all got fatter, and then
glucagon like peptide one agonists entered.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
The check people that got into shape, some not enough.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
The gop ones then come in and for the first
time gallops self reported data. Now this is again self reported,
so it's are you fat, yes or no? Are you
fatter now than you were?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Yes or no?
Speaker 3 (25:39):
They sewed a nearly three point drop in obesity since
twenty twenty two since it peaked. Now diabetes is still
going up diabetes, but obesity in general is going down,
and that is great news. Obviously it has to do
with the popularity of the GOLP ones. You can't go
(26:01):
for one commercial break without seeing ads for one or
the other of the GLP ones that are out there
in general.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
What did you start doing?
Speaker 3 (26:12):
But when to get rid of my facts? Oh, I
didn't say that I sat around a lot. I don't
think I was as healthy as I could have been.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
That's not true. You have made an you have made efforts.
You're more in shape now than you were, say, ten
years ago. Okay, So I was just asking you what
you did. I just because I think sometimes people think
it's like this great life change and when it's just
like something every day, a little something every day, just
(26:42):
trying to eat better every day, trying to move around
more every day. You know what I say?
Speaker 3 (26:47):
I would say part of it is that my wife
and I talked about it. Yeah, just talked about it,
just like, hey, shouldn't we try.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Not to eat ice cream six days a week? Right?
Don't tell me.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
What to do.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yeah, we haven't had conversation in our home about ice cream.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
That is not a conversation that we have had yet,
because I just like that.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
I mean, and the realization of I'm now approaching the
point in my age that my dad was when he
had a heart attack, right, And that's one of those
things that's it doesn't loom over me and I don't
think about it every day, but it's one of the
things like, oh, I should be aware of that. And
I do things differently than he did. I eat differently
than he did. I don't smoke. I mean, all these
(27:28):
different things just to avoid that.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
It's never too late to start smoking, right, Probably too
late to start cocaine.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Yes, and you've aged. I didn't do that. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
I don't think that would have been drug of choice. No,
he's not a turn it up guy. I could see
him getting I can see him. I could see him
have a couple of giggling. He would love to laugh.
Oh yeah, love to laugh and giggle. He put on
you know, gun smoke or something. My little riflemen have
(28:01):
a joint. Enjoy himself, Connor, that's a great visual, your
dad and his recliner smoking a jay.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
He didn't smoke it. He tried it, you know, he
tried the edibles. So like when he was sick. Yeah, yeah,
it didn't fit. It didn't fit him. He didn't like it.
He didn't like it. My dad rode that weed train
straight to the grave.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I mean, I'm embarrassed to say how much weed he
was smoking towards the end. But hey, what, whatever's gonna.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Make you comfortable.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
You know, men outnumber I'm sorry, women outnumber men obviously
when it comes to these weight loss injectables. And the
only reason I say obviously is because women tend to
find it more difficult to drop pounds than men.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Oh, I'm Gary, and I know how hard it is
for women to drop weight.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Diane told me that this week. She's like, yeah, it's true.
I dropped it pretty quickly. She's just like, I work
twice as hard. Don't let that cause a rift between you.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
No, no, no, What did you say back to her
when she said that?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
You keep because I can.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
See I've seen this movie. I'm trying to edit this
one as we go along.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
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 lap
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 (00:09):
Well, I'll take some pills, I guess.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
NBC News is reporting that the Trump administration has begun
some detailed planning for a new mission that would send
American troops and intelligence officers in New Mexico to target cartels.
They said that early stages of training have already begun.
These troops would operate under the authority of the US
Intelligence Community, known as Title fifty status. They said that
(00:37):
officers from the CIA would also participate, but at this
point pretty quiet in terms of anything actually happening. The
other big business story in medical I guess you could say,
Kimberly Clark is buying tailan allmaker Kenview in a cash
and stock deal worth about fifty almost fifty billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
There is the ozembic effect that is now hitting the
statistics when it comes to obesity. We will let you
know what that show is coming up later in the show. Also,
Starbucks everywhere, They continue to pop up on every vacant
corner dwelling. And there is a new report this is
the future of coffee, not Starbucks.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
So we'll tell you what is and what will happen
to all those Starbucks. It's Chinese. I think it's Chinese.
Is that what we're talking about the future of coffee?
You'll have to listen to the show. We'll have to
find out this show. This show. There's so much information
that comes out of one little show.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
I'm glad you bring that up. If you miss any
part of the show, you're missing a lot.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah, so to miss a day, you miss a lot.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Okay, so I changed it a little bit, so I
didn't so you weren't actually stealing ly stealing? Okay?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
What is that from KFBK.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I thought it was kPa Y, Yes it was.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I never worked there, but you did. Yeah, I thought
that was THEIRS.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
I think. I mean, I'm sure there's probably had to be.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
There are different radio stations.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Are you miss a day?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
You miss KFBK was KFBK was? Remember today you listen
to news talk fifteen thirty KFBKN. It was like this
sexy women's voice that I can't do generally sixy but
it was back when you had to remember what station like.
The ratings books were actual books. They would send out
to people get a write down. So a way to
(02:22):
get you to remember which station you listened to was
to have a sexy female voice trance like tell you
remember today you listened to News Talk fifteen thirty Very sleepy.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Okay, So California fire officials have proposed zone zero regulations.
If you're a homeowner, this would mean that you would
have to create a fire resistant specifically an ember resistant
zone around your house. This was supposed to be in
place a few years ago, but all of this has
(02:58):
been stuck in not just the public outrage, but also
the political bureaucracy that comes with anything from new rules.
Both CalFire and the Border Forestry and Fire Protection visited Brentwood,
for example, and Altadena where they're trying to figure out
how best to rebuild. But at this point there are
(03:22):
concerns when people are trying to rebuild whether or not
they're going to be able to follow those zone zero
rules that have been proposed. For example, over in Altadena,
officials showed residents a home they claimed was spared thanks
to the removal of vegetation near the home, But the
residents said, wait a minute, there's a home across the
street that doesn't follow your zone zero plans, and it
(03:44):
also survived. So there's no guarantee to say, just clearing
the brush or plants or whatever it is around your
home is going to guarantee that your home survives one
of these fire storms. And they said that this is
this huge just kind of the dipping your toe into
the water over the debate of what these homes should
(04:06):
look like when they are rebuilt in these areas. They said,
these zone zero regulations were required by a law that
was passed back in twenty twenty and these they kind
of fizzled out after fire officials struggled to agree on
how to navigate this theory about what actually prevents fires
(04:28):
from destroying specific homes and what was reasonable to ask
of residence. So if I live in a relatively dangerous
I mean not the highest threat in terms of fire danger,
but a high threat, and I have plants all over
the house outside, and what these zone zero regulations would
require is a lot of that stuff would have to
(04:50):
be moved or just be replaced. You wouldn't be able
to have in some cases, wouldn't bark as decorative bark
in a plant area near your house because that bark
could potentially give rise if an ember were to fall
on to.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
It to give rise to a fire.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
So Thelma Waxman is the president of the Brentwood Homeowners Association.
She's working to certify neighborhoods in the area as fire safe,
but says the science tells us it doesn't make sense.
The fire officials, these are her words, are ignoring it
because they have to come up with something. So she says,
if I'm going to go to my members and say, Okay,
(05:28):
you need to spend five thousand doing one five thousand
dollars doing one thing to protect your home, it's not
going to be remove hydrated vegetation, because that's the other
part about it. Some of the Zone zero regulations have
suggested that all plants, no matter how well watered they are,
all plant material needs to be moved away from your
(05:51):
home because of the potential for them to become fire problems.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
You know, I saw what I was looking through news
this morning. A headline pitched to me from Health magazine,
and the headline was this what you should know about
peeing in the shower, And I thought, how silly of
a headline, And then I remembered that's not the first
time I've seen it, because we actually did the story
the first time I saw it, which is also troubling,
(06:20):
Like you said, a third of the county on food stamps, troubling.
The fact that we're doing routine headlines about peeing in
the shower, do or don't what to know? Also troubling
for the state of humanity, which is why I'm also
curious as to why the aliens are not probing us.
They came, they saw, they did not conquer. What happened
(06:42):
with that over the weekend. They may have been busy
watching baseball, right, they got sidetrack. Do you think they
just came for the end of that series to check
it out from close by?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
They may have had something to do with that, like
they wanted to give us one good something to do
before when they come and start the probes.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
That's the only thing that can explain everything that went
on in that season in that series.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Yeah, that's a good point outside interferrestrial manipulation.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah, alien interference. Oh, we have a chance for you
to win a thousand dollars coming up.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Forty Michael Monks is out at the parade row. We'll
check in with him here in a few minutes. Celebrating
the Dodgers win of the World Series last night, I
had made a comment that it's a game seven. Well,
the whole series kind of had a little bit of
everything that is baseball that makes baseball so much fun
to watch, to play, et cetera. And I referenced the
(07:42):
ground rule double where the ball just plunked down underneath
the padding in the outfield wall, and somebody said it
wasn't a ground rule double and it doesn't matter, but
he guess family.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Can we not question Gary the ra on rules?
Speaker 2 (07:56):
That's what I reminer man.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
We're talking about Resident Advisor Darry Puffin, all right, and
I'm Gary.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
I know all the rules.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I don't know all the rules. I know that rule.
They're probably going to separate about this all day.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
It's just one of those things that if you're gonna
if you're gonna call and leave a talkbag and say
that that is not a ground rule double, I don't.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Oh, because everybody's always right on that thing. Huh.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Well, that's that's the part about it. That's the easy one.
That's that that's an easy.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
All right, let's not perseverate, right, Let's give away thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
We will go back to the parade coming up after
Deppor's news at the bottom of the hour. Michael Monks
has been posted up all morning long, and a lot
of celebration downtown. The trains are packed, Dodger Stadium's gonna
fill up, and just a day of celebration for back
to back champions, your Los Angeles Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
But in the meantime, it's time for terror in the sky.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Why you darro Nire, you're aware every day?
Speaker 7 (09:36):
Off Roger, get off my plane.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Roger Rogers. What's our Victor?
Speaker 6 (09:41):
Victor?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Enough is enough?
Speaker 5 (09:43):
I have had with these munkey pipe snakes on this money.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
It's Gary and Shannon's terror in the skies on KFI.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Well, as I mentioned, we were stuck last night on
the tarmac in Nashville for three hours because a ground
delay at LAS, and when I looked elsewhere, it was
par for the course. Major airports LaGuardia, JFK, Newark, San Diego,
lax oh Hair all had cascading disruptions throughout the weekend
(10:15):
as air traffic controllers who are working without pay called
out of work. Flight Aware documents real time historical flight
tracking data as well.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
It has all of these.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Airports up and they have been looking at all of this.
There have been more than nine thousand flight delays since Friday.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
You mentioned obviously lax San Diego, but I mean those
seventeen airports across the country considered some of the largest Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Denver,
places like that, and then the big ones in New
York City, in the East Coast, including Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
They're all suffering.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Again, it's not necessarily that there is a massive problem
at one airport that then ripples out. It's these smaller
ripples at each of these individual airports in some cases
that then cause delays over and over. Then they start
to compound on each other. As of right now, the
weekend number is in and the weekend the FAA said
(11:16):
that there was let me.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Trying to make sure I have the right term, that
they used.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Staffing triggers ninety eight staffing trigger reports at different FAA facilities,
which just means that the air traffic controllers there had
to adjust the operations to maintain airspace safety. That means
that there were fewer people on the job. Again, air
traffic controllers are required to go to work, but as
(11:43):
we've seen, they're not getting paid now. I think it
was on Wednesday, Tuesday or Wednesday of last week was
their first missed paycheck as a result of the government shutdown.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Well, think about yourself, think about where you're at. As
Sean Duffy, Transportations secretary said on CNBC over the weekend,
none of these people can miss two paychecks. I mean,
imagine if you missed two paychecks, all of a sudden
you can't pay the mortgage.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
You know, home finances fall apart.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
You got to take a look at taking a second
job or quitting and getting into another line of work
right away. I mean, it's very real for a lot
of people. You know, you think of childcare alone. If
you're going to work. Air traffic control our job and
you've got to pay for a couple kids in childcare.
(12:37):
Where's the money for that if you're not getting paid?
So how can you go to work? Not even why
would you go to work, but how can you.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
He did say that's again, Sean Duffy's Transportation secretary. You'll
see more delays, you'll see more cancelations of flights, and
that's because we slowed traffic down because we don't have
enough controllers in those towers and the tray cons to
make sure that we can navigate the flights. So that's
a tool that they have to keep the system safe.
And he said if air travel was unsafe, in his opinion,
(13:07):
the Transportation Department would shut the whole airspace down. He said,
we will not let people travel, but we are definitely
not at that point at right now. We are just
dealing with some significant delays because of this.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah, and you know, the question arose in my mind
last night as we were sitting there for three hours
on the tarmac of how much of this is political,
like how much of this is necessary shut down and
how much of it is Oh, look, we can't even
the station. The country is immobilized because we are important
and we need to be paid.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
And I get that, and they have a very they
have a lot of.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Leverage, and if there's no movement in the next couple
of days, this will set the record is the longest
government shut down. And I think that's a gamble that
both sides are taking, because the Democrats are seeing the
polling which suggests that since Republicans are in control of
Congress in the White House, they're the ones who should
be responsible for this. Republicans in the White House and
(14:02):
Congress are pointing at the Democrats and saying, we could
have avoided this. We've tried to vote thirteen is I
think it's thirteen times now on this continuing resolution to
get the government back open while we negotiate all these
other things.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
It is split party lines.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Nobody's even getting into the minutia of which Democrats are involved.
And what Trump's role is. It's just either called Trump
shut down or the Democrats shut down.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
And that's just the way people are looking at it.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Up next, a little bit happier, we'll be talking with
Michael Monks out there on the parade route for the
Dodgers World Series parade.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
The big celebration, of course for the Dodgers taking place
at Dodgers Stadium today. That's a part of the Black
Eyed Peace.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Hey, I maybe I am the many years old that is.
I don't know who celebrities are any Well, that's where
I am, right, Yeah, I got that. I don't know
who the other guy is. You think that's Flea, No,
the other guy Anthony? Yeah, no, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Wow, Grandma, it's time for me to tell you about
late nineties music.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Well, we were at the World Series of Flee was
out there for the first pitch and I go.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I just saw him in Brazil.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I was like, no, I didn't. I saw Green Day
at Brazil. Idiot, old freaking Grandma. I'd like to meet
that person too, the you that yells at you. Oh,
it's in my head all the time.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
I know that's why I'm that voice that you don't
have in your head. Mine just yells at me because
I have some suggestions for her. Oh really yeah, what
would you suggest? Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Nothing, just to be nicer to her, really yeah, And
that voice won't learn that she's enough.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Michael Monks is joining us. He is live out in
downtown l A. Always gotten away from the children. Apparently,
I guess the restraining order finally kicked in.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
No, I think they just got a little tired.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
They're still here. They're still here, don't wake them.
Speaker 6 (16:05):
They're waiting.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
There were some beach balls and some tennis balls being
thrown around, and I think everybody got a little tired.
Speaker 6 (16:10):
It's been weird because you can feel, you can taste
that this thing's about the start.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
People have been waiting for hours and hours, but now
it's sort of that antsy weight.
Speaker 6 (16:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Well, they they they left.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
They loaded the players up outside of the Criminal Courts building,
and they they changed that this year because the team
was so late making the parade route last year. So
they're going to get to you sooner than they did
last last year.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
That's good, that's good. I know these fans are I mean,
they are cheering for any vehicle that goes by. Right now,
You've just got a couple of unmarked well I should say,
two black SUVs with just Dodger signs on the side
of them.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
No, no players, no manage.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
That's how I mean that would give.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
People have been.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
Cheering for everything, and the streets are packed. People are
climbing trees, they're climbing street signs.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
To get a good view. They're ready for this thing
to get going.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
And then, of.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
Course, after this parade is finished, there's a celebration at
at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
But in the meantime, I mean, if you're planning to
come down, you're probably a little too late.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
If you're here, it might be a bit of a.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
Madhouse to get out of downtown. The trains have been packed,
streets are blocked off. It's a bit of a mess.
But I think if you asked anybody in this large
sea of blue whether it was worth it, the answer
would be yes.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Does that kid need his own he's thirsty. I don't
want this kid to die.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
I need everybody to stop talking about water and drinks.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
They need sacks.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
Get this done.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
The kids need.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Just think of the waterfall of fun. You got to
be prepared out there as a parent, Michael, You've.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Got to have a two liter bottle or something. Yeah, well, you.
Speaker 6 (17:50):
Know I couldn't now, I mean I would be exposing.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
To get priors.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
I know there's a mandate. There's a mandated reporter around
your screw.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
I'm going to have to ask these deputies where the bill.
Let me slither into the county building and move.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
On with my life. I love it when the people
climb the light poles.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
They're they're climbing the light poles in Chinatown too, And uh,
that just seems like a lot of effort.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
That is a lot doesn't look like arm strength.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Right, that's an upper arm, shoulder stru Yeah, you have
them some inner thighs to grip that pole as you're
going up to Gary.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Do you think you could climb a pole right now?
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Michael, do you have the inner thigh strength to climb
a pole?
Speaker 6 (18:32):
I could do it.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:34):
I could absolutely climb that pole.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I did that was very confident. Well do you have
one of those?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
I see see, I see Michael. I know his mom's Pam.
I know they're from Kentucky. And I see Pam being
an early adopter of the thigh master with Suzanne Summers.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Maybe what I remember my mom doing is jazzer side.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yes see. And I bet she had a thigh master.
I bet Pam Dad.
Speaker 7 (18:57):
I don't remember that, but I know that she was
relatively acting, you know she was and law enforcement of course.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Oh yes, she could several different ways. Yeah, you know
she had. She had a menu of different ways. She
could kick your ass, she could kill you. It seems
like it's really like a family as opposed to our conversation.
It seems like it's a real family friendly atmosphere out
there that everyone's cool.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
It's just like a celebration.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
Oh, it's been totally positive. There's been no problems at all.
The only disruption and it went by really without.
Speaker 6 (19:25):
Any fanfare at all. There was a homeless guy with
an exceedingly.
Speaker 7 (19:29):
Large cart who passed by here a couple of hours ago,
and it was really there was really too many people
for to get pat Everyone moved, nobody said anything.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Just one even he wasn't just one.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
Wow, it's been so clean and pleasant down here today.
Everyone is just climbing. Everyone is so excited completely.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
You know, different experience you can have in LA sometimes,
but this has been a really good day.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
So well, there's now on NBC showing the Dodgers on
the top deck of the bus. There's show hey all
wearing their Black brand Spank and New World Series T
shirt shirts. The gray hats are really good looking that
they have on as well.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
So this crowd's going to erupt.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Oh, it's gonna go crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
So it looks like they're just waiting, but the team's
been loaded up on these buses, so only a matter
of time.
Speaker 7 (20:21):
Michael, Well, I think it was supposed to start at
eleven fifteen. Yeah, and if you guys want to pomp
back over to me around that time, we'll see where
we stand.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Sounds good. We'll catch up with you in the next hour.
Stay safe out there, you got it. Oh. Ps, I
met a Gas family member yesterday in Nashville on the field.
Oh really, yeah, I think his name. I might be
screwing it up. I think it was Henry. And Henry goes, oh,
I listen to you guys all the time. He says
he's from San Diego. He lives in San Diego, and
(20:51):
he said you guys pissed me.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Off a lot.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
And I said, I'm sorry, Henry, and he goes, but
I love you, and I said, we love you too,
and then I'm leave and then he goes, stay dry
out there, and I go thanks, and I walk away
because it was drizzling a little bit. And I walk
away and I was like, oh.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
I get it. I go back. I just got the joke.
Ten years.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
We've been saying that for ten years, and you get it.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
And he knows me so well. He just looked at
me like, of course you didn't get it. Of course.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
They are also showing some of the live pictures. The
TV stations are getting there what would you call it
vantage point on some of the player buses. Yeah, so
they are gearing up that for that parade, which is fun.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I guess that's I guess it's fun.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
So can anyone tell me why the Dodgers winning is
such a big deal.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
It's just a stupid baseball game. Who cares? Is that
the period guy? No, it's not, but it sounds like
just for happened to that guy?
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Somebody have fun for a while and he died the
Pyramid guide did he die? I don't think so okay,
because we haven't heard from him. Yeah, and you know
he couldn't quit us.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Should we get his messages anymore? Oh? Really? We have
blocksome people, Yes we have, don't you know what?
Speaker 1 (22:18):
I will say this. I was around a lot of
Padres fans over the weekend. Oh yeah, because of said Chargers,
and the Padres fans took.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
It really hard.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Yeah, really hard, like as hard as Toronto Blue Jays
fans took it almost And it was odd, you know,
just thinking like why are the pot Giants fans aren't
taking it hard?
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I do think it's funny postseason, regardless of the sport,
there's a postseason thing. If your team gets knocked out,
who do you root for. I was talking with a
buddy who's a huge Yankees fan, and he was pulling
for the Dodgers one thousand percent because they because the
Blue Jays knocked out the Yankees, okay.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Which was kind of a funny thing because.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
I mean, I'm for the same reason I was rooting
for the Blue Jays because I'm I'm a Giants fan,
so I don't want the dot. I mean, it's I know,
I it's just that funny, you know, you give up
an allegiance for a couple of weeks in the in October.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, and I just I just don't understand the complete
disheartenment of watching your your rival win until I framed
it in my life and I was like, well, how
did I feel when the Seahawks won the Super Bowl?
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I felt awful. I hated that next day so much.
I hated it. So I get it, padres fans, and
maybe next year.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Obcity rates are down. That's good. I'll tell you why
when we come back.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Yeah, it'll be fun. We'll just gain right now. Nobody
will listen.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Yeah, nobody will listen to it, but we can talk
crap about people we don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yourself. You're just like, I just need this cathartic release
from the show I.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Did Gary and Shannon kf I AM six forty live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We have long lamented the
fact that people are getting fatter. It's not good. It's
not good for anybody. Yeah, it's not good for It's
not good for anybody. It's not good for.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
You if you're the one getting fat.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
It's not good if you have other health issues and
someone who's fat is taking up time and the health
and your doctor and all that sort of.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
It's not good for anybody. Should I put this on
the messageway.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
We should all hummus is the least of your problems. Okay,
we should all be more fit period, just healthier, fitter.
There is something going on that adult OBESID in the
United States peaked somewhere between twenty one and twenty two.
(24:58):
Twenty one and twenty twenty two, we were all neck
deep in COVID. We were sick of rules, we were
eating like crap, We weren't moving around. They told us
to sit around on our couch, that it was the
safest place to be. We all got fatter, and then
glucagon like peptide one agonists entered.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
The check people that got into shape, some not enough.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
The gop ones then come in and for the first
time gallops self reported data. Now this is again self reported,
so it's are you fat, yes or no? Are you
fatter now than you were?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Yes or no?
Speaker 3 (25:39):
They sewed a nearly three point drop in obesity since
twenty twenty two since it peaked. Now diabetes is still
going up diabetes, but obesity in general is going down,
and that is great news. Obviously it has to do
with the popularity of the GOLP ones. You can't go
(26:01):
for one commercial break without seeing ads for one or
the other of the GLP ones that are out there
in general.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
What did you start doing?
Speaker 3 (26:12):
But when to get rid of my facts? Oh, I
didn't say that I sat around a lot. I don't
think I was as healthy as I could have been.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
That's not true. You have made an you have made efforts.
You're more in shape now than you were, say, ten
years ago. Okay, So I was just asking you what
you did. I just because I think sometimes people think
it's like this great life change and when it's just
like something every day, a little something every day, just
(26:42):
trying to eat better every day, trying to move around
more every day. You know what I say?
Speaker 3 (26:47):
I would say part of it is that my wife
and I talked about it. Yeah, just talked about it,
just like, hey, shouldn't we try.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Not to eat ice cream six days a week? Right?
Don't tell me.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
What to do.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yeah, we haven't had conversation in our home about ice cream.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
That is not a conversation that we have had yet,
because I just like that.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
I mean, and the realization of I'm now approaching the
point in my age that my dad was when he
had a heart attack, right, And that's one of those
things that's it doesn't loom over me and I don't
think about it every day, but it's one of the
things like, oh, I should be aware of that. And
I do things differently than he did. I eat differently
than he did. I don't smoke. I mean, all these
(27:28):
different things just to avoid that.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
It's never too late to start smoking, right, Probably too
late to start cocaine.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Yes, and you've aged. I didn't do that. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
I don't think that would have been drug of choice. No,
he's not a turn it up guy. I could see
him getting I can see him. I could see him
have a couple of giggling. He would love to laugh.
Oh yeah, love to laugh and giggle. He put on
you know, gun smoke or something. My little riflemen have
(28:01):
a joint. Enjoy himself, Connor, that's a great visual, your
dad and his recliner smoking a jay.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
He didn't smoke it. He tried it, you know, he
tried the edibles. So like when he was sick. Yeah, yeah,
it didn't fit. It didn't fit him. He didn't like it.
He didn't like it. My dad rode that weed train
straight to the grave.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I mean, I'm embarrassed to say how much weed he
was smoking towards the end. But hey, what, whatever's gonna.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Make you comfortable.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
You know, men outnumber I'm sorry, women outnumber men obviously
when it comes to these weight loss injectables. And the
only reason I say obviously is because women tend to
find it more difficult to drop pounds than men.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Oh, I'm Gary, and I know how hard it is
for women to drop weight.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Diane told me that this week. She's like, yeah, it's true.
I dropped it pretty quickly. She's just like, I work
twice as hard. Don't let that cause a rift between you.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
No, no, no, What did you say back to her
when she said that?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
You keep because I can.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
See I've seen this movie. I'm trying to edit this
one as we go along.
