Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
I A M six forty, The Gary and Shannon Show
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'll remember that.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Hey, guys, good morning. I was won me when you're
going to get to talking about football. I mean, with
all the baseball going on and every team Gold Dodgers,
but I just wanted to let you guys know your
forty nine ers lost from your friendly neighborhood, Dallas Cowboys fan.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
You guys love. You can gloat all you.

Speaker 5 (00:31):
Want, your rushing yards when your team also wins and
my team loses.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
He's got to be he's a Cowboys fan. He wins
are few and far between with that defense.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Now here's the thing. The Denver Broncos are legit. The
Denver that I, in my opinion, hottest team in the
AFC right now on five straight. They're just getting better
a defense. Everything. It's top to bottom.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Shannon, how are you doing.

Speaker 4 (00:58):
Apparently Denver Bronco.

Speaker 5 (01:03):
Oh, I have good before we get to our trending stories. Yeah,
good news.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
I love good news. Is this about the animals that dress?

Speaker 4 (01:10):
It's animals, okay, But what you're gonna say dress well.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
I read an article this morning, I think it was
in the Washington Post about animals that disguise themselves as
other animals to protect themselves, and I thought it might
be a fun Halloween story. But then I thought, oh,
Gary's not going to want to do the story that's
really cute about animals pretending to be other animals because
he doesn't like that kind of stuff all the time.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
I'm about to read you an animal story. Well, great,
it's a good story. Get it. It's good animal story.

Speaker 5 (01:41):
Do you remember how we removed four dams along the
Klamath River in the northern part of California. In the
southern part of Oregon, Chinook salmon are now back in
the Klamath River in areas they haven't been seen in
a hundred years.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Oh, that's incredible.

Speaker 5 (01:57):
In late September, there was a chinook scene on video
ascending a fish ladder.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
At Keno Dam.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
It tastes so good, one of the two remaining dam.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
I had salmon last night.

Speaker 5 (02:07):
One of the two remaining dams in the upper basin
southwest of Klamath Falls, and since then, cameras and radio
tags have confirmed the presence of salmon at various locations
further upstream. According to the Oregon Department of Fishing.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Wildlife, that's wonderful.

Speaker 5 (02:20):
The first time, the first return to the Upper Klamath
Basin since the dams were built by mean humans back
in the early twentieth century.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
That's great.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
I love it when the chinook can swim free right
into the nets.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
Right on my What else is going on?

Speaker 4 (02:41):
Time for what's happening?

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Wow, Mosa the field. Good story.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Door Dash is going to deliver a million free meals
through food banks because, as we mentioned earlier, the SNAP
funds are going to run out with the government shutdown
come November first, So they have announced that they are
going to do what they're calling an emergency food response,
and they're going to door dash provide a million free
meals through more than three hundred food banks and pantries nationwide.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
That's very cool.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
They also say they're going to waive delivery and service
fees for about three hundred thousand grocery.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Orders placed by SNAP recipients through the app.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Hurricane Melissa strengthened to a Category five today as it
got closer to Jamaica. As you mentioned earlier, looks like
it's got wins about one hundred and sixty miles per hour,
and it's moving slowly. It's just three miles an hour.
Is the movement there on that thing. They said that
this is going to be a catastrophe for Jamaica, a
widespread damage landslides, the strongest hurricane to hit Jamaica since

(03:43):
record keeping began in eighteen fifty one.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
Well pulled back of the curtain here.

Speaker 5 (03:47):
When you're a reporter and there's an event going on,
a lot of times you just call random places and
ask whoever answers the phone what's going on. In this case,
the AP got a twenty three year old hotel receptionist
in Kingston, Hannah McCloud, and asked how she prepared. She
boarded up the windows at her home. Her husband and

(04:08):
her brother are staying there. She stocked up on canned
corned beef and mackerel, left candles and flashlights throughout the house,
and she said, I just told them to keep the
door closed. She said, this is the first time I'll
be experiencing this type of hurricane, and she's right. I
think nineteen eighty eight was the last time they had
a massive hurricane make actual landfall.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
In Jamaica.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Food at Dodger Stadium. If you watched any of the
morning shows, this was pretty much the content you got today.
Special grubs set to be served for those going to
Game three Dodgers Blue Jays World Series.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Chimmy Chury.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
You've got your charge oled steak with the Chimmy Chury,
the horse radish cream, the smashed potatoes. Listen, it's a
world series. You shouldn't even need food. You should be
running off of the blue blue blood in your veins
and the hate for Max Scherzer and George Springer. That's
what should be fueling you. You shouldn't need the fried
chicken sandwich. You shouldn't need the loaded tots. You shouldn't

(05:11):
need any of this.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
It's just nice to have.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
It is nice to have.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Barbecue platter, chicken, yucky soba, noodles, potassio cream, funnel cake.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
What are you even talking about? I want that.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Funnels cake, actio cream funnel cake. Yeah, any funnel cake really?

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Speaking of the game.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
By the way, first pitch tonight just after five o'clock
where the Blue Jays are here in La to take
on the Dodgers tonight, tomorrow and Wednesday, because there will
be at least Game five. There are two players who
will get a World Series ring regardless regardless of who wins,

(05:56):
because beat both of these two players, say Urina and
infielder Buddy Kennedy. Urana ended the season with the Angels,
but he played for five different teams this season, including
six games for the Blue Jays to two games for
the Dodgers. Buddy Kennedy meanwhile played two games for Toronto

(06:17):
earlier in the year played seven games for LA. Kennedy
on an Instagram post wrote, go team.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
That's funny. That's very funny.

Speaker 4 (06:29):
That's good sense of humor, all.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Right, and then we mentioned it earlier. I feel like.

Speaker 5 (06:33):
If you're eligible for both teams, you need you need
to declare your intention before the series starts. That's that's
why I think you should have to declare your attention,
your your your intention. It's like if you're one of
those ambidextrous pitchers, uh you have to be. You have
to declare which arm you're gonna pitch with before the

(06:55):
batter gets it.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
It'd be cool if it if there was a rule
deep in the rule books that says, it's like the
last team you played for or whatever is that.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
That is the team that you would get the ring for.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Anyway, we mentioned it earlier, it's going to be very
hot tomorrow and Wednesday. We're talking the nineties, low nineties
for some areas, so be ready for it. It's just
a weird last heat wave before we get into the
real winter light.

Speaker 6 (07:21):
The real winter late, which is what sixty four degrees. Yeah,
it's gonna be a big six to four all right.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Coming up next, we've got motivational Monday, We've got Gas
Fantasy four play recap. It was a rough weekend, that
was a hard The Dolphins game came out of freaking nowhere.
I mean Jon Robinson I think rushed for like nothing,
like I don't know, twenty five yards or something ridiculous,
which is no one could have seen that coming. No

(07:49):
one could have seen two good for what four touchdowns
whatever it.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
Was, and zero concussions.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
You say that, but he hasn't had a concussion for
a long time.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
You don't you think they don't linger.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
I didn't say that. I just said he hasn't been
officially concustom.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
Also a strong point. Right there.

Speaker 7 (08:12):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 5 (08:18):

one thousand dollars when we pick that up. Well, it
was a very rough, as you said, rough weekend for
our guest fantasy for Play.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
There was definitely some shockers and we got both of those.

Speaker 5 (09:19):
Did we not yeah, I don't know how we chose identically,
but we did. But Denver over Dallas forty four to
twenty four, that.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
One we saw coming. And then green Bay over the
Steelers at home. That was going to be a good game.
And then the Steelers defense decided to do what the
Steelers defense decides to do and not do anything.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
The forty nine Ers at the Texans.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
The forty nine Ers were the team that I thought
that they were going to be when they came to
play the Rams on Thursday night. A practice squad. The
forty nine Ers have had great success with a practice
squad the past four weeks. Well, the Chickens came home
to roost and it happened in Houston where CJ. Strat
and the Texans were able to keep all of the

(10:03):
time of possession of the entire game. I mean that
Niners defense had to just be completely winded by halftime.
I mean, I think time of possession at half was
something like twenty four minutes for the Texans and six
for the forty nine Ers. I mean, it was such
a lopsided effort there. And then who saw the freaking

(10:25):
Miami Dolphins going to Atlanta and running the score up
on that defense, that Atlanta defense, which has been masterful
at times so far this season. I heard Tony Romo
say something when I was listening to the broadcast, and
he said, this time of year, it's a lot about
coaching to keep guys into it. He said, you're in

(10:47):
the doldrums of the season where there's not a lot
of light at the end of the tunnel. And I
thought to myself, for a seventeen game season, you got
to keep them interested. Like what I meant, if you're
talking about a baseball team, you know, when you get
to the dol drums of you know, game ninety two
or whatever. I can understand that keeping guys focus and

(11:10):
in it and all of it. But the football season
like a blink of an eye, and nobody should be
cajoled into keeping focus.

Speaker 5 (11:20):
And the difference between those two sports and even the other,
even basketball and hockey, is that when you're playing football,
you're you're prepping five six days a week.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
I mean, you do get some time off.

Speaker 5 (11:32):
But your your highlight is one day per week you're
getting you know, you're getting that four hour chunk of
time to play football. If you're doing basketball, you got
three or four games a week. Hockey's in that similar schedule,
and baseball you got five or six games a week.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
There's no there's I shouldn't say there's no, it's not a.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Lot of practical Well, that may be what he's talking about.
You know, you go in those meetings room, you go
in the film rooms, and it just gets to be
tedious at this point in the season. As must be
what it is. Yeah, probably not on Sundays, you know,
but you play like your practice too, you play like
you prepare. So maybe that's what he was getting at.

(12:11):
But like I said, man, the Broncos that right now
to me is the team to fear in the AFC.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
They put forty four on Dallas.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
I mean, the Dallas defense is trash, but like what
they were able to do with the Giants coming back
scoring thirty three points in the fourth quarter, but that
offense was humming yesterday despite Dallas being trash defense, Like
was that looked easy? It looked easy for him. So
the Chiefs tonight will see the Chiefs are doing what

(12:41):
the Chiefs do where they come out and they suck
ass for the first few weeks and then they start
looking great and the Chiefs are humming along too.

Speaker 5 (12:49):
Washington Commanders are in Kansas City to take on the
Chiefs tonight for Monday Night football.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
No, Jaden Daniels, what do you do.

Speaker 5 (12:57):
On a Sunday when you're not working? Because the Chargers
played on on Thursday.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah, it was weird.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Well, we went up to Big sur Ran a little
ten k on Saturday, So mostly Sunday I just hobbled around,
worked on my hip mobility, which was not good.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Not good.

Speaker 8 (13:15):
Drove back yesterday that also is not good for your awful.
It's awful. So stupid for some Oh, it's so stupid.
I felt so stupid the whole time. I mean you
just you turned to stone.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
You know. It's it's not ideal, especially at this age.
It's one thing.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
When I used to do this, you know, fifteen years ago,
it's like ten k la la la, And now it's
like I can't walk, I can't do anything. You're fine today,
what are you talking about? I'm fine, but yesterday was not.
Yesterday was no boy. Now that's all right.

Speaker 5 (13:47):
Other sports, By the way, Clippers beat Portland one fourteen
one oh seven.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
The Lakers beat the Kings one twenty seven to one. Twenty.

Speaker 5 (13:52):
They actually the king Lakers will host the Trail Blazers tonight,
and then the La Kings beat the Blackhawks three to one,
and of course the big whopper tonight is going to
be Game three in the World Series. The Dodgers are
hosting the Blue Jays Tyler Glass now versus Max Scherzer.
The Dodgers had quite the game on Saturday night in

(14:14):
terms of turning around from what had happened the night
before when the Blue Jays I think surprised everybody.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
And well Blake Snell didn't have his stuff, and to
put Sheehan in there with the bases loaded was ridiculous. Listen,
I haven't won a couple World Series. I'm know, Dave Roberts,
but what the hell you doing? He's a bridge guy.
If you're up, they were down. I think Iran the
bass is loaded. He inherits this awful situation makes it worse.
And now what do you do with him?

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Now? Where's his confidence?

Speaker 4 (14:43):
Well?

Speaker 5 (14:43):
And you, I mean we've talked about it going into
all of these playoff series. The weakest spot on the
Dodgers team, it's not awful, but the weakest spot has
been the bullpen.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
And the Blue Jays game plan accordingly, that's why you
see so many foul tips. You know, they put the
bat speeds of the guy posted up in the locker room,
and if they're slow, they've got to hit the weight
room extra. Their game plan is designed to have the
Dodger starters throw as many pitches as quite humanly possible,
so they get to the bullpen quicker and they can

(15:14):
capitalize on that. And it worked like a gem in
Game one. Now game two, Yamamoto had all of his stuff.
He pitched a gem.

Speaker 5 (15:22):
Well, and he had I think a couple innings where
he pitched seven or fewer pitches for the entire inning. Yeah,
one of them or two of them were seven, and
maybe one of them was a six or I have
of the backwards. But that's a ridiculously low number of pitches.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
It was the opposite in Game one. So anyway, we
will see.

Speaker 5 (15:40):
Hey, you've heard about the famous Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame induction ceremonies every year as some of the
biggest music icons honored for their influence on music and culture.
It's a light light a night, i should say, of
live music, not only by those inductees, but by a
bunch of the biggest music artists come to perform, pay
tribute to their heroes as they celebrate music's highest honor.

(16:01):
And guess what this year coming up Saturday, November eighth,
this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
is going to be in Los Angeles.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
It's going to be at the Peacock Theater at LA Live.

Speaker 5 (16:13):
The show is going to be streamed around the world
on Disney Plus and you could be there to live
to watch the show. The inductees this year, Salton, Peppa,
Soundgarden Outcast, Jack White, Cyndi Lauper, Bad Company, and you
got a bunch of the presenters from Missy Elliott to
Donald Glover to Brian Adams and Mickfleet would all be there,
and of course the guest performers. It is an absolute

(16:34):
truckload of people who will be there performing for the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies. For your
tickets to see this once in a lifetime lineup of
musical stars, you'll never see it again. AXS dot Com,
AXS dot com.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Well the World Series comes back to Chavez Ravine to
Night for Game three and Well comes back, you know,
this time around this year. But we've got to bring
it on this motivational Monday. Do you have something special planned?

Speaker 4 (17:05):
We'll get into it.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
We'll get into it. Yeah, all right, I love getting
into it. I feel like I say that all the time.

Speaker 4 (17:13):
You do.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
I should stop saying that.

Speaker 4 (17:15):
No, you don't have to.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
It's just gonna It's not the most annoying thing. What's
the most annoying I'll tell you and to tell me.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
Now.

Speaker 7 (17:22):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM.
Six forty.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Stories we are following for you today. We didn't get
into this much. But big headline today that you'll see
is that President Trump says he'd love to run for
a third term.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
That's all it is.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
I'd love to He's not saying he's squatting and that
he's going to or he's gonna thumb as nose at
the Constitution or anything of the Everyone loves that headline.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
Though.

Speaker 5 (17:51):
He sees people's heads ignite when he says something, and
he loves it. He loves doing that to them. Yeah,
people are still falling for that. But I mean that
was one of the arguments that Gavin Newsom has made
in terms of why he thinks that Prop fifty has
to pass, because he says if it doesn't, then then
Donald Trump will run for a third term.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Have you bought your candy yet for Halloween?

Speaker 4 (18:14):
My wife did. Yes.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
It's very expensive.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
It is very expensive, especially when she buys the big.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
Ones, the big ones. Oh, she buys the full sized ones.
I don't know why your house hasn't gotten jacked. You
do full sized candy bars all the time on Halloween?

Speaker 5 (18:29):
Yeah, and then I bring them back in on November first.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
I bring all the rest, all the extras.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Oh, yeah, I better not see any of them.

Speaker 4 (18:38):
Yeah, I'm gonna bring him in and I'm gonna yell
out roll tied, please do.

Speaker 5 (18:48):
Hurricane how much have they increased? You were gonna tell
me how much a lot?

Speaker 4 (18:52):
There you go.

Speaker 5 (18:52):
Hurricane Melissa has intensified into a Category five storm. This
is getting a bit closer to Jamaica. Forecaster sids the
unleashed catastrophic flooding, landslides, and damage. At this category five,
it would be the strongest hurricane to hit Jamaica since
record keeping began, which would be eighteen fifty one. Melissa

(19:14):
has been blamed for six deaths in the Northern Caribbean
as it heads toward the island. Could make landfall tomorrow
in Jamaica before hitting Cuba later in the day and
then moving towards the Bahamas. But for the most part,
it is not expected to make landfall in the United
States out and really not expected to have very much
effect outside of some strong winds potential rain bands that

(19:40):
make its way through.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
Chocolate.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
It's a chocolate that's more expensive because of the tariffs
on Brazil. Ah, chocolate is costing more. So you're going
to have to get into the other things that you
get into this year.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
The Skittles.

Speaker 5 (19:56):
The skittles, Yeah, with my new lack of food dies,
they're all kind of a bland brown cold are they?

Speaker 4 (20:03):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (20:05):
I don't want any brown Skittles.

Speaker 4 (20:07):
You've not seen those yet either.

Speaker 5 (20:08):
There's some like off color skittles that are They brand
them differently, and.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
I like the originals.

Speaker 5 (20:15):
I thought, well, because this is Game three of the
World Series tonight, because we all miss Vince Keully, I
wanted to bring back a movie that's now twenty six
years old, I believe it is, and it's one of
the great trilogy of baseball movies, at least the Kevin

(20:37):
Costner trilogy.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
A Baseball Movies for the Love of the Game.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Such a good movie.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
The key line in this movie is when he says
to his wife after he gets injured out on the farm.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Get me the most important person in my life, my
agent je We all saw that marriage crumble right then
and there.

Speaker 5 (20:58):
Forty year old Billy Chapel at the end of a
long season for the Detroit Tigers. They're playing a season
ending series in Yankee Stadium against the Yankees. The Tigers
have been long eliminated from the playoffs. They're playing for
nothing but pride against the Yankees. The Yankees have the

(21:19):
opportunity to clinch the division with a win. Now, Billy
Chapel or Chappie, been so caught up in his personal
life and an end of his career and what it's
going to look.

Speaker 9 (21:31):
Like that.

Speaker 5 (21:36):
He doesn't realize he's pitching a no hitter. Not only
a no hitter, but a perfect game. No one wants
to sit next to him in the dugout. They don't
want to jinx it. Nobody wants to get too close
to him. They don't want to say it. John c
Riley plays his catcher and realizes Chappie just looked at
the scoreboard and knows what's on the line.

Speaker 9 (22:00):
How you doing nice?

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Anybody been on bench?

Speaker 9 (22:07):
Nobody, nobody this I ain't seen much of humm neither Chappie.
I never have.

Speaker 4 (22:28):
What's the matter. I don't know if I have anything left?

Speaker 9 (22:36):
Chappie. You just throw whatever you got, whatever's left. The
boys are all here for you. We'll back you up.
We'll be there because Billy, we don't stink right now.
We're the best team in baseball right now, right this minute,
because of you. You're the reason we're not gonna screw

(23:01):
that up. We're gonna be awesome for you right now.
Just throw, all right?

Speaker 7 (23:15):
Come on, come on?

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Will list be the last pitch of the game?

Speaker 4 (23:20):
Will List be the last pitch of Willy Chapel's light?

Speaker 9 (23:24):
Will it be the end of his brilliant major league career?
And nif so, what a high note?

Speaker 7 (23:30):
All in two the cap to Kenny Scround.

Speaker 9 (23:35):
Off the club of Chapel.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Off the clive.

Speaker 4 (23:46):
Willy Chapel has pitched on perfect day.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
The cathedral at a Jenkins Stadium belongs to a Chapel.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
That's a great call and you know what I never
realized in watching that move movie was kind of the
heavenly chorus sounds behind that Oh yeah and the d
Yankee say, Wow, that's a good movie. I love baseball movies.
It's the pace of them that they can play with.

Speaker 5 (24:14):
Sure, you have to cut down the baseball game to
put it into a two hour movie.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
I really do like what they've done with the pitch
clock and everything. It's the same game but without all
the fluff, and it just does create a sense of
urgency that did not exist, at least for me watching
and now and now I'm into it.

Speaker 5 (24:34):
I totally And it was one of those things that
I did not think was going to pan out.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
You didn't like it, Well, you don't like change.

Speaker 4 (24:39):
I didn't like change.

Speaker 5 (24:40):
Change Again, it's the same thing with the ball and
strike automatic ball and strike things. Yeah, I've seen it.
I saw it in spring training this year, but I
don't know. I'm not convinced that it's going to be
great for the game. But you're still open to it.

Speaker 4 (24:52):
I'm open to it. I'm not open to rats. You're evolving.

Speaker 5 (24:56):
La has named been named the number one hat rat
hotspot in America.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
I believe it. My backyard has rats. Well, I saw
one that counts, but one. There's got to be more,
especially considering the size of this one. It's probably eaten
four other ones.

Speaker 4 (25:13):
Gary and Shannon will continue.

Speaker 7 (25:16):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 5 (25:22):
We've been talking about Hurricane Melissa, now category five storm.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
It's beginning.

Speaker 5 (25:27):
It's well, they're already saying is going to be a
catastrophic strike on Jamaica, life threatening flash flooding and landslides,
destructive winds, a storm surge of somewhere between thirteen and
fifteen feet on the southern side of that island. Of course,
there will also be flooding in Haiti. It's expected to
strike Cuba and parts of the Bahamas as well as

(25:49):
it turns very very slowly through through the Caribbean. Temperatures
here very nice, going to be probably seven the eight
degrees something like that at first pitch tonight at five
o'clock at Dodger Stadium. A little bit warmer tomorrow and
Wednesday for first pitch, as we see an unusually ten

(26:10):
or twelve degrees above normal for this heat advisory, which
technically starts tomorrow and goes through Wednesday night here in
southern California.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Well, we may have a new number one sash to
drape across us here in the city of Los Angeles,
and it is the number one.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
Spot for rats.

Speaker 4 (26:32):
Oh, we've got rats.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
We've got a lot of pest control experts saying that
we've got rats. We've got a lot of visitors saying
that we've got rats.

Speaker 5 (26:45):
Downtown is specifically where they're saying a lot of this happens.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
We should have brought Michael Monks on to talk about this,
because he lives downtown and he's out and about downtown.
He like, not just lives downtown, but he walks around
is his home. He goes to the downtown places. He's well,
he is mister downtown. He is mister Downtown. I don't

(27:12):
know rats. Rats are going to be in cities like
it's going to happen. Where there is trash, there is rats.

Speaker 7 (27:19):
Right.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
If anything, it shows the livelihood of a city to
have rats.

Speaker 5 (27:23):
Some of the people who say they who live here
and have had experience in New York say this is
nothing like New York because in New York they run
around everywhere, steal your cigarettes and pizza. But rats are
not running around the streets in LA necessarily.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
I want to say it was d C where they're
running along the sidewalk.

Speaker 4 (27:42):
At least the rat was Baltimore.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Was it Baltimore?

Speaker 4 (27:45):
Okay, yeah, I remember that story.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Okay, I never remember.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
But it was like, we're like walking to dinner, like
in a residential neighborhood and I'm like, what, what's running around?
It's like, oh, those are rats. I'm like, what the
f Yeah, now that's not cool them like running around
thinking that they're all bold and stuff.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
It's not cool on the sidewalk.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
It's one thing to like, you know, a rat's running
through an alley in New York or LA, that's fine.
But when they're living amongst you, just running around on
the sidewalks because they can, it's a problem.

Speaker 5 (28:13):
One of the pet pest experts pest control technicians, Enrique
Gonzalez the Services LA says, as the cooler weather rolls in,
we have a couple of days of reprieve. But as
the cooler weather rolls in, rats and other creatures are
going to look for warmer places and said according to yelp,
demand for pest control professionals has risen across the country,

(28:36):
a twenty one percent year over year increase in rodent
searches on yelp, so Enrique says, hey, go outside on
your property. Look for any holes quarter or even a
pinky finger sized hole is big enough for a rat
to get in. These creatures will look for shelter and
they eventually get in. We had a raised foundation. No,

(28:57):
we had a raised yeah, I guess the raised foundation
there when we were living in Seattle. The first house
that we bought. So it's up off the ground and
there's insulation underneath your floor just because it's cold in
Seattle and you get well below freezing. And we woke
up one night to hear rats that had gotten in.

(29:21):
So the floor, the insulation was hanging down. It wasn't
very tight. So they came in an event and then
just made that their nest and you could hear them
rocking around.

Speaker 4 (29:32):
And scratching stuff. A family too, They wanted to be
a young family.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Wanted to be a young family.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
It was the they were just trying to.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Make ends meet. You know, we're hard out there for
a family.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
Or part out there for a rat pimp.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
You know, well, I don't know if it was a pimp.

Speaker 5 (29:48):
And then when my dad and I were putting a
new water line through a section of the foundation for
the laundry.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
Can you remember his hands, we found.

Speaker 4 (29:59):
All kinds of dead rats.

Speaker 5 (30:00):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it was like five or six
different little skeletons.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Whenever you see their little rat droppings, you know you
know what's to come. And it's more rats. We get
some mice sometimes in the house, which is fun. It's
a fun little thing that happens in my home.

Speaker 4 (30:16):
Does it scary you?

Speaker 1 (30:17):
No? Freaked out that I haven't seen them. I've seen
you've seen. I've seen my husband's.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
Efforts to take care of the situation.

Speaker 4 (30:27):
But you've never seen the mice.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
I have not.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
There's a possibility telling you that there are mice, so
that when I stay.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Out of the cupboards and I don't eat.
