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. Did anyone bring a hairbrush? Hair brush? Anyone?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
No?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Okay, me neither.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yeah, clearly that's it's a good start.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Though.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Also if anyone comes along and brings a hair brush,
I will borrow it. If you are in the number
one lane and you want to drive the speed limit,
I love that for you, but move to the number
two lane. That's all I ask, you know, move to
the freaking number two lane because I have somewhere to
be in the number one lane. Okay, I love this
(00:42):
in this beautiful morning, and you're soaking it in and
you're doing sixty five sixty seven, do it in the
number two lane. I've got to get to bravery, you
know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Sounds like somebody's been in Wyoming for a week.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I know it was a lot of you forgot about traffics.
I forgot about cars. I only saw Buffalo and moose
Man God's Country.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Hey, welcome everybody to our News of Bros. The first one, Yes,
our first one of the year. It's it's been way
too long, is it always this beautiful in Lancaster. No,
is it only when we come here? This is this
is really when it when it happens, usually it's super windy,
right and the wind could.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Still pick up a little bit later today. Yeah, but look.
Speaker 1 (01:25):

Don't remember where they go next? Dude? You remember they.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Host Oh they host Miami, Miami, so they come home.
That's gonna be a great because Miami is not very good.
So they could extend that streak to ten games.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
That'd be nice. How was your week?
Speaker 1 (01:55):
I listen, that was a pretty big side.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
My wife will attest to this.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Talking to yourself for four hours is a sign in
any other in any other complete avenue, you're going to
a hospital.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah. The good news, though, is that when you're in
Wyoming and you're just taught, you're doing the show in
your head, you feel crazier on a trail, and she's
like thoughts and thoughts and thoughts and thoughts. It's insane.
But did I miss any drama on the station or anything.
Let's see Handles still with us.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
I guess either that or the AI that they have
doing his show is really really spectacular.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
They've really nailed it. U. No, no drama, nothing going on.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
There's no drama, right, No, everything's fine, All fine, that's
a lot of face.
Speaker 2 (02:42):

Speaker 1 (02:59):
Uh? Well, he looks good for Joe Montana.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Joe Montana would wear more expensive shoes.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
He's a lot younger that No, he wouldn't needed sketches.
Are those sketchers?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Oh my gosh, that is.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I watched that Brett Farv Fall of Farv on Netflix,
that documentary You're the One? Oh my god, it was
so awful. Do not waste your time? Do not waste
your time?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Was it a glory piece for Brett Flaher's.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
A takedown piece? It was like, oh, it was a
retroactive me Too documentary about the girl who he sent
a couple of text messages to when he played for
the Jets and she was the Sideline Entertainment stadium entertainment
person and he sent her a couple of text messages
and now she's acting like it was, you know, essentially
an assault and oh my god, and it ruined my life.
(03:44):
And I'm like, really, did it ruin your life? Come on?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Do you get a lot of texts from fans while
you're walking the sidelines at the Chargers games?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
You mean from Brett Farv because I know that, but
not yet.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Well, season is around the corner.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
We'll be out here until one o'clock today, so there's
plenty of plenty of space out here on the patio.
Come out, have some fun. Please wear appropriate pants so
that we don't have to see your joke.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Oh wait, wait, wait, wait, let's not shut the door
on love, shall we. All Right, it's only nine to ten.
I've been gone for a week. Maybe we want to

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Kudos to everybody who brought their computer out here today
because they have work to do, like this gentleman right there.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Round of applause for people to actually work nice.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
That's good. My computer Gary brought it for me, so
so you're ahead of me already.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I beat you there.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
And then at one o'clock today, if you are in
the building, stick around because at one o'clock we're going
to turn around and record our Gas Weekend Fix, which
is our podcast episode that only appears on the podcast.
We can't do this on the air because of what
the FCC says about us.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
You score pretty quickly out of the gate life.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
My wife said the same thing, that it only took
a couple of minutes made to drop.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
What's going on? You know, like, was that really about
the milk?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
How do you remember what we were talking about? Somebody
said to us that they really enjoyed the weekend podcast
and something of note. Rich on Twitter said that, yeah,
and I thought, what the hell did we even talk about?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
It is for us. You may think it's forgetful, forgettable.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
No, I just I don't even remember, because it's a
it's a very chill, relaxed pot or it's just like
a conversation. It's there's no agenda.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Last last weekend it was the Diddy trial, not not
specifically about the trial.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
But how to cover something like brought out.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
The baby oil and no no, oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I put the kaibosh.

On that quick, all right, fun runer.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Sorry, So there's a lot going on today. Of course
we're going to cover all the big stories that have
come up. There's an actual prisoner swap between Russian and Ukraine.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
That's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
We're going to talk about Russian Ukraine today.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
It's no, that was it.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
That was the only part Memorial Day weekend. We are
at a brewery. We are here for fun. We are
not here for facts. Yeah, Eric, drink that beer. I
bet you can't chug that whole thing right now. I
bet you can't. That's it. That is irresponsible.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I said, it is irresponsible, And it's okay.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
But you tried to get to keep their pants.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
On, but it can't.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Well said, you don't have to. You can as long
as you bring appropriate pants. I don't care if you
have them on or off.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Eric, this is at church League. This isn't JV.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Is that vodka? Eric, he's being very don't even serve
vodka here. It's what it is. Wow, there you go.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
All right, Doug has a whole table reserve for him.
Holy hell, you've made it, man, you have made it.
Round of applause for Doug.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Speak it away.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
If anybody has that hair brush, we're gonna use it
on Doug's hair first and then give it to Shannon.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
No natural, you don't mess with that. You know it's
this rat nest. You really got a tame.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
You would not be alone.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Triple A says, forty five million people on the road
this this Memorial Day, but.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
They need to move to the number two lane.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, apparently.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
And by the way, we've been saying, Will Coleschreiber in
traffic has been talking about this big truck accident in Lancaster.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Just everybody knows it's way to the north of us.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
So if you're coming up here to Bravery Brewing, it
is not going to be a problem traffic.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
It's pretty light coming up back to traffic.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
There's a big trucking accident, and I'm thinking, do you
think I'm gonna leave earlier? How long have I known you?
Speaker 2 (07:24):

says she can't hear us. She he says, you need
a hearing aid.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
Bert.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
That is really out of bounds and not cool, not
cool at all. Somebody who also needs a hearing aid. Bert,
I'm offended.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Oh it is this a Dodger game? You can beach balls?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Yeah? Why not? Rookies, so welcome every first game where
we just lose.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Or what wait? What they're in second place.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Whatever, second place.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Okay, enough.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Enough, you've literally been around me for ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I know.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
We wanted to say a happy Friday to John Williamson,
who's actually not here today, but he's listening at home.
His wife came up and said that he's going to
be listening from home. John is losing sight apparently, so
this is his window into the world, she said, which
is nice. What a wonderful and unfortunately tainted window into
the world that he has to look through. So John,
(09:18):
wherever you are, have a good Friday. Your wife is
a very nice person. How's that going over there? Everything
trying to break into alorad or something.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Listen, everything's going fine. I just need seven different verification
codes to sign in.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Good news is PCH reopened a short time ago, a
little bit more than an hour ago if you were
driving anywhere from Malibu down to Santa Monica or back.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Obviously, since the fires.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
It's been closed, and this morning they were able to
reopen it hord right ahead of Memorial Day weekend.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
So that's great.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Why do we only have one segment reserved for the
bear cub rescued from the woods being cared for by
humans dressed as bears. Thought that we would devote like
an hour to this.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Well, I will say, I'll say it this way. That's
the starting line. Okay, So that's marking when we'll start
talking about you could.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
You bear cup and a half?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Right?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I mean, that's the kind of the story that we
need as a people. Don't you want to dress up
like a bear and take care.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Of like a real bear.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
I think it's strange that you spend a few days
in Yellowstone and then you come back as missus Terwilliger.
I am, You're lucky I showered today like the Jane
Goodall for bears.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
You want to come out here and wait, I.
Speaker 1 (10:32):

of buffalo. Oh my gosh, it is the first time
I saw a buffalo.
Speaker 2 (10:38):

Speaker 1 (10:41):
I saw a moose. Yeah, I sent you the moose.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
And there was snow on the ground, and.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
The snow it's shoulder season, so it's after the skiing season,
which looks terrifying up there, and before the summer. So
it's kind of the you know, shoulder season where we
like to travel. Not a lot of kids around, you know,

Speaker 1 (12:39):
He's on his phone. He's checking to see how Caleb
Williams is doing with that footwork.

hats in the landcast.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
I never see Bears hats like that's rare. It's pretty
rare to represent.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
One of these because of the Pope?

Is it because of the Pope? It's because of the Pope.
Everyone lives Chicago. Now, do you see that the mural,
the White Sox mural that they they did of the
pope in Chicago. No, you missed that.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Huh, Sorry I was I was on the West coast
and we don't spend a lot of time talking about Chicago.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Oh okay, now we care about California on this show.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
There is a developing story out of DC. A federal
judge has temporarily blocked the Trump Administration's decision to revoke
Harvard's certification to enroll foreign students. So the Trump administration
did that yesterday. This morning, Harvard sued the Trump administration
(13:42):
and as of right now, there is at least a
temporary injunction to block the administration's plan to prevent Harvard
from enrolling foreign students.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Hey, if you're a legal geek, I bet this is
fun to watch. You've got Harvard attorneys versus Trump attorneys.
That is a good fight, I would imagine. I have
no idea, but it seems like that would be the
best of the best.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Right, Yeah, that would be pretty crazy.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Hey, we're live today at Bravery Brewing in Lancaster. We
have we'd love it if you had come on out
We are going to do something special early in the show,
which we haven't done before. Bart one of the co
founders of Bravery Brewing, is going to join us, Bart Avery,
and talk about a little bit more about what obviously
what they have going on here at Bravery, all the
new stuff that's happening. But he also has an experience,
(14:26):
a life experience, a previous life that he lived that
is pertinent.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
To what we're talking about in these days.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Is it stripping?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Where did he go? He just walked away?
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yeah, I think I ruined that surprised, didn't I He's.

I like that I have power. Try to speak, you can't.
Ha Now you can speak? Thank you now you can't.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
During the commercial break here at Bravery Brewing, Bart Avery
made the official announcement, complete with little white smoke and everything,
that we have a new KFIPS.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Essentially at the Sistine Chapel, right here. There is a
mural inside. I don't know if if God.
Speaker 2 (15:31):

KFIPA that we've been able to put together.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
So thank you again for that. It's available here.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
It's available on tap on tap here and also in
cans and then a bunch of different restaurants. We'll talk
about it later, but there's a I think fifteen different locations.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Come on. That's pretty good. That's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Is there anything better than an ice cold beer in
the sunshine? I mean that's what we have here.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Today, Ice cold beers in the sunshine.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Like a reason. This is a reason. Come on out
and join us.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Bart, one of the co founders of Bravery, give us
a quick quick history of Bravery Brewing.
Speaker 5 (16:10):
We started Bravery Brewing when my son, Brian Avery, where
the Bravery comes from, started brewing beer in college. It
got really well, really pretty good. And then my golfing
buddy Early Armie, one day says we should open a
brewery together. Your son makes good beers, and I'm like,
he only knows how to make like two beers, but blossom,
yeah exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
But it blossomed from there and here we are today.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Where's Brian? Is he here?
Speaker 5 (16:33):
He's here somewhere, moseying around. I saw him hiding, wonderful family,
probably working.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
He's the only one around here that inventing.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Everything. Ps.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
The you guys have also ventured into the world of
seltzers now too.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Oh my gosh, if you tried it yet, I have
not on a hot day like this. Although it's not
super hot, it is so refreshing. According to my son,
there's no sugar in it.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
There's a very little car in it, you know, so
it's a it's a perfect drink.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
And then hearing a man be like, you know, what
are those things called women care about? Women care about
the carbs?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Boring? And then pizza kitchen as well. We know that.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
I mean, we kind of have been with you during
the saga of you've been one of our bell weathers.
I guess when it comes to the whole COVID thing
that happened, did remember COVID?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Sorry, I'll say when the tornado happened? Is that better?
We'll call it the tornado?
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I welcome that.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
And one of the regulations was that you guys would
have to serve food in order to stay open.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
So pizza was the way you guys went right? Wow,
how did.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
You you would have come to this conclusion eventually if
it wasn't forced on you. Yeah, possibly it's too good
not to have been made.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Well, I agree with that.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
And when we first went that direction, I told my son,
let's just get let's just make pizza. We just need
to have food in here, he says, Dad. We make
good beer, we're gonna make damn good pizza too. And
that's kind of how that happened.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
And how did you get Thank you, Brian? Brian's back there, Waverham, Brian.
There is parts on how did you get to the
point where it becomes an award winning pizza kitchen?
Speaker 5 (18:03):
We have the local newspaper out here every year for
Lake I don't know decades, has a vote for who's
the best Dennis, the best brewery, the best pizza, and
we've won it the last two years.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
You want best dentists?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah, you've never had a work on your mouth?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
No, I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
But well in your mouth?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
What did.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Don't make it weird?
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Gary?
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Saving us for the podcast, I'm the one who made
that weird.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
You said it like multiple pets for the podcast. All right,
all right, but in an earlier life, I've had plenty
of conversations with you about the career that you had
before you got into retirement and beer. Right, and you
were an air traffic controller.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I was for twenty five years.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
I said, yesterday, it was about four in the morning
when we were leaving and catch our flight out of Jackson,
and there was another another news article that I was
reading about an air traffic trollers. I thing, it's just
a matter of time.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
You know, And that's what something bad happen.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Yeah, before there's a mid air collision and like that.
That freaks me out because that is more likely than
any sort of turbulence that you get worried about, or
takeoffs or landings. This is the most likely disaster on
the horizon for us.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yeah, I agree, yeap. What do you think?
Speaker 4 (19:20):
I mean, you see all these headlines. I'm sure you
know what you probably still know some people who are
working in the in the towers out there.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
What's yeah?
Speaker 5 (19:27):
I mean, like, for example, the d d C eight
mid air I heard the traffic that was being issued
by the air traffic controller and he was saying it
all wrong, not to get into specifics, but I mean
not right. There could have been part of the problem,
the procedure to have air airplanes.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
You're talking about the plane at Reagan National, the helicopter,
the helicop.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Right, Okay, so wait, not only is there a shortage
of air traffic controllers and a three fourths of the
system is obsolete, but now we have air traffic controllers
who are actually there not doing the job correctly.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
Well, the the standards have dropped a lot over the years.
And when I was a controller, they washed out like
ninety percent of the applicants. It took three years to
check out at Los Angeles Center where I work, and
they really cut back on the standards.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Let's say just put it that way. They allow a
lot of French people now.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Well, they used to have They used to have the
cut off your face is so funny. I forgot. Okay,
they used to have to cut off of fifty six.
It was a forced retirement, right, And now they're moving
that that goal post.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
And I think that's fine.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
I think I feel like I could have gone till
early sixties. I mean, it just depends on your sharpness
at that age. But yeah, it's a huge problem, and
a lot of people are just bailing out at the
minimum age, which.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
For me was forty nine.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
So oh wow, wait twenty five years after starting at
age twenty four, when you retired, when you got out
of it, were the computers obsolete then? Absolutely? They were
obsolete the day I started working there. It was just
a running joke. But I guess the money wasn't there,
and we just did the best we could, and we
would have failures all the time. We'd be in the
cafeteria and they'd page everybody back and we'd lower our
(21:08):
scopes and bring out shrimp boats and push them around
because the radar went out.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Let me ask you this then, to that point, is
this one of those things that's in the news right
now because everyone's talking about it, So we're hearing about
everything that goes on, every error that goes on, we're
hearing about it. Did all these errors exist and we
just never heard about it?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I would say on that one. And it didn't used
to be this bad.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Okay, Yeah, it's definitely accelerated in the last few years.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
So yeah, but you're not afraid to fly? Uh, he
knows too much.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Most times when I fly, I call my buddies that
still work at Ellie Center and say I'm flying to Maui.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
On this fly, take care of me.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Yeah, there you go, keep your eye on me. Can
I get that number.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
That call for you next time? That's the thing I
hope people don't necessarily understand it. Maybe you can explain
a little bit.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
There's a tower here, I mean, there's a center here,
but you help control traffic that's going in and out
of most of southern California real quick.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
There's three levels of air traffic control towers, which is
in the movies. Everybody thinks all the air traffic controllers
working at towers is about ten percent. Approach controls and
departure controls control about ten thousand.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Feet down to the ground.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
LA centered all the centers, there's twenty one of them
in the United States.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
They control all the airplanes.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
You say, see you way up in the sky, and
they just geographically put them in the cheapest places back
in the nineteen sixties when they built them all. That's
why they put one in Palmdale. So yeah, but it's
we had nothing to do with Palmdale. We were talking
airplanes that are in Utah out to the Colorado River
two hundred miles out of Pacific Ocean.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
You're too big for Palmdale, Yeah, something like that. A
side note, I have a friend.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Is he a pilot?
Speaker 2 (22:45):
He's a pilot.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I oh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
He sat and talked with Bart one time when we
were up here, and it was the greatest conversation to
just listen to one guy who never sees the pilot,
talk to one guy who ever sees the traffic controllers,
and discuss their lives, like what.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Happens to you?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Why? I got about fifteen percent?
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Got some history. I'm detained on the equipment.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Well, I mean talking to you. You didn't talk to
a lot of F sixteen's, did you know we did?
Speaker 5 (23:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:17):
We control all the military.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
You watch your mouth.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Sorry, well I didn't talk to anybody when I was.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
The reason I'm saying, oh my god, oh my god,
oh my god, is because I started and finished. And
I'm so ashamed to admit that I freaking loved bad
Thoughts on Netflix. I loved it awful. It makes you
a horrible person if you love it. I am that.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
But this is a This is a show by Tom Sigura.
The stand up community.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
It's all your worst thoughts you've ever had. That Like
when it pops into your head, you're like, why are
you thinking that you're a sick person?
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Is that he made show? He made six episodes six episodes.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Of that, But there's one that involves pilots, and I
don't want to ruin it, but I all I could
think about was your friend the pilot, and I couldn't
wait till the next time I see him to I
doubt if that's what they really do. All right, we
were live Bravery way.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Thank you to Bart.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
What a huge this Again, when when I was up
here last month to start the brewing process for KF,
I p a Bart and I sat down and I
was asking what there's more?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
There's more smoke, something actually on fire.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
We've got a new new beer. Are we blowing this
place up? Are we doing this?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Maybe it's a sign that the camels.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
What's what did you build?
Speaker 3 (24:32):
This?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Is that PVC pipe?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (24:35):
I'm taking it back to Low's after this because I
didn't use it, so it's like a costco TV.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
We realized this is the sixth time that we have
been out here to Bravery Brewing for one of our
news and Bruce and it's They've always been super generous
with us. They're a great place, they're super well loved
in the community.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Everybody to come.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
By a story that goes along with that, which is
brings with it a good life lesson. We can do
that when we come back to.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Okay, excellent, Bart, thank you, Thank sure, Avery, owner of
Bravery Brewing.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Yes, thank you, Bart. It's nice to be home.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Come on out and say hi.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Did you want to do that Billy Joel story.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
No, that's a downer. I just wanted to well, this
one's it is a good life lesson.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
This is also a downer.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Yeah, but it's it's good. I mean, it's good in
the long run. So I I don't know if I
tell the story every time, I feel like I do.
But anyway, I grew up watching Full Metal Jacket. It
was kind of like me and my brother's thing. You know,
we recite the first ten minutes back and forth. Still
do like We keep a pretty good running text joke
(25:51):
of you know, how tall are you private? I didn't
know they stacked that high. You know, like we go
back and forth and if you haven't seen it, it's
worth a while. Anyway, Arlee Ermie. One day we're we
had just started doing the show, right and and we
get it. We get an email from Bart and he's like, yeah,
(26:14):
my buddy, and I r Lee Ermie. You know, I
heard you talking about Full Metal Jacket and we opened
a brewery in Lancaster and I was like, what, Like,
it's like it's and he listens to the show and
I'm like what, you know what you know, it was
like hearing that you're you know, Joe Montana listens to
the show. It was like what, Oh my gosh. We
(26:36):
got to get up there. We got to get up there.
And Bart's like, anytime you guys want to come up
and I was like, oh, it's Lancaster so far away.
And we did it. We didn't come up here, come
up here. And then ar Lee Ermie died.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Yeah, twenty eighteen.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
Lee died and Bart was nice enough to say, hey,
we're doing a memorial for him at the brewery and
we'd love it if you guys would come up.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
And that was the first time that we came up.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
The place was absolutely jam packed and Lee's family was here,
and it was just it was a really it was
a wonderful It was a wonderful tribute to this guy
that we missed the opportunity to meet.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
The life lesson is make the drive, make the phone call,
go see whoever it is, Go see your family, go
see your friends, make the drive, do the thing because
you're gonna you.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Know, Page is here today.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
And Page came up and the very first thing she
said to me was, I'm sorry I don't have hair
because of chemo. She's been going through some paig here
papriotic cancer treatment. So thanks for coming.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
We appreciate it. Glad that you came out.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
I think it's funny that your dark, dark secret place
swag is what keeps you moving.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
That's amazing, taking care of yourself, keeping healthy. Good job.
I'm proud of you. What do we what do?
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Do you want to break into a high school today?
You guys, did you see that? Did you hear this story?
We'll talk about it later, But like the adults have
broke into the high school and Riverside, Like, I kind
of get it when you hear about like if you
have I don't have kids, and this is probably one
of the reasons.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
But like when I.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Hear like my nephews or somebody else who's like a
young person one of my girlfriend's daughters, like girls, it
really peaks you. Gets your your haunches up when somebody's
mean to them at high school and you just want
to f them up, you know what I mean, you
just want to go back and just like make these
kids' lives hell for making this kid's life hell. And
like I kind of got it. I'm reading that article.
(28:33):
I'm like I can see this, Like if my nephew
came home and was like I got beat up today
by by Jimmy. Jimmy is mean to me all the time,
I would go find Jimmy and like things would go well.
So I understood this group of adults that broke into
the high school in Riverside. Did you feel that way too?
Speaker 4 (28:50):
I have not had to thankfully defend my children against
anybody like that.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
I'm trying to.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
I've never broken into a school. I've always been invited.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
It's like a for other kids.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Yeah, probably, yeah, I guess ye that we will talk
about that story because it's pretty crazy. There was also
a story about the bear cub, a black bear cub,
orphaned bear cub. Okay, relax, he would easily eat your
liver if he had the opportunity. But this orphaned bear
(29:22):
cub was being was being cared for by people dressed
as bears because they wanted to. You know, they don't
want the bear to imprint on humans, and they want
to eventually be able to take the bear back out
I guess, into bear town and put the bear in
the wild so that it doesn't so that it knows
(29:42):
how to live and not rely on humans for all
of the food.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
You don't seem as excited. I thought you were going
to be about this. I mean, don't you. Isn't there
any part of you that wants to care for a
bear cub by dressing up a a bear.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
No, I would.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
I would just prefer human clothing because then he would
be my bear. I don't want to have to get
I'm gonna you give away the bear.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
That's the whole thing is you.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
You feel comfortable you dress as the bear?
Speaker 2 (30:12):
No, I just treat him nice. That's how I do.
I don't have to dress like a bear.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
He's scared of you in your current elements.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I doubt I doubt that. Have you seen this?
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Like? Okay, so here's I'm the bear god, and if
I see you, I'm gonna want to stay away from
you because you're a human and you know in your face.
Go on, and if you dress like a bear, then
I'll think you're one of me.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Your argument is not holding any water picture, it.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Not being me. Okay, wouldn't you want to come or somebody?
Speaker 3 (30:45):
Right?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Don't you want.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Ritchie to crawl up into your lap and you could
just put him?
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Well, then I think I'm the bear at that point,
and I is that way it works out?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Do you remember that story?
Speaker 4 (30:57):
I think we talked about it last time we were here,
about the guy that was dressing up as in a
bear costume, not to take care of orphan bear cubs,
but to break into cars for insurance purposes.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Up in Lake Arrowhead. There was a guy who was
doing that.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
He entered a twenty ten rolls Royce Ghost while it
was parked at Lake Arrowhead.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
The insurance fraud. The insurance company figured out.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
They thought originally it was a bear getting into the car,
and then they realized he had metal like a wolverine
clause that he was using to scratch on the side
of the car. That weren't the actual bear costume clause
because they weren't hard enough. So this is the kind
of stuff everybody comes here for.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
Ritchie, he was around the corner.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Ritchie, do you want to be a baby bear?
Speaker 2 (31:50):
For live today in Bravery Brewing in Lancaster. Will be
out here until one o'clock.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
Make sure you stop on by, grab a beer, grab
a seltzer, grab a glass of wine, grabs water.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
I don't care.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Their Bravery Pizza Kitchen is open. We'll be here until
one o'clock. And at one o'clock, of course we're going
to turn around and record our gas weekend fixed.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Oh my gosh, Wait, so is that the one where
you swear a lot?
Speaker 2 (32:11):
What depends on what happens today?
