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):
Thank you, everybody. Welcome to our latest news and bruise.
We're live today Luchador Brewing Company in Chino Hills. We
have some interesting news for today. Wow, everybody got really quiet.
That's uh, we're doing something different today. We fired Shannon
(00:30):
last night, so all right, that's the correct answer. All right,
now we're getting now, we're getting somewhere. Uh, Shannon can't
be here today only because I'm sorry, only because of well,
I'm gonna blame it on the government shutdown and the
fact that air travel is an absolute pantload of mess
(00:51):
right now. So the Chargers moved up their departure flight.
She's flying to Jacksonville for the game on Sunday. My
word is that she's gonna suit up for the game.
I'm not sure what position she's gonna play, but long snapper,
something in the defensive backfield, something like that. And guess what,
we could not do the show without her. She's on
the phone right now. Hello Shamnon, Hello Gary.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I am devastated. It sounds so much fun there, and
I am stuck on the one ten in the rain
and the traffic headed to the facility. I so wish
I was there, devastated yesterday hearing this news. And you
guys already sound like you're having so much fun and
I am not. And I've got to go to an
arm pit, which is Jacksonville. I'm sure the people there
(01:36):
are lovely, but not as lovely as people in Chino Hills.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I would say that that your day in the last
twenty four hours. You called me yesterday afternoon to tell
me that there was a heacup in the plan, and
your life this morning is normal. Ours is extraordinary because
people here are drinking at nine am and you're stuck
in rainy traffic.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Not only that, but I pulled I pulled a groin
muscle somehow in my sleep, and I can't lift my
right leg, like seriously, I've kind of handicapped, and my
power went out this morning. So my hair is soaking wet.
I look like a disabled wet rat. And so I
really am not in shape for news and bruis.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Anyway, let me say this. I learned this term once
at Bible camp inprecatory prayer. Where I pray for something
bad to happen, I ask for a small wound, not
necessarily a pulled groin, but hey, I'll take it. Thank you. Lord.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, it's not a good scene over here, but that's okay.
You guys are going to have such a good time.
The crowd there sounds incredible. Who are the special guests today.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Well, there's two that I know of that are in
these three I should say that are in the house
right now. First of all, we're gonna introduce Michael Monks
to everybody here, get him dirty with everybody here, so
so he'll be here in just a second. We have
an actual life size cardboard cutout of you, Shannon. I
believe the picture itself is from the air show down
(03:20):
on Huntington Beach, and by life size, I would say
it's about what would you guys say, three feet tall.
We told Dave Weeds to make it life size. This
is You're gonna be very angry at him when you
when you see it. And then we have another Shannon
in the house that may make a news and bruise
on air debut a little bit later in the show
as well. Yes, Shanne, that's exciting, that's you're all set.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
You are all set. I'm not worried about you at all.
You've got Michael Munks and Shannon Hoffman there. Oh my god, again,
I'm very jealous. I am not there.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Well, don't get caught, rubin. You're growing on the airplane.
That's going to cause some problems. Just just take.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
It, I know.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Also, don't let anybody else rob it. That's a personal thing.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I don't know if it's a him or groin. Usually
you diagnose this because you're a trainer, but I don't
know what's going on. All I know is I can't
really walk and can't lift my leg.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
So but don't.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Hey, you guys better.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Hold Gary to the promise that he made that he's
gonna dance on the bar there at Luchador.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
My wife just looked at the bar to see if
it was possible. She did. She just shook me off.
We'll see. Listen, nobody's drunk yet, but it's only nine o'clock.
Drive safe. We'll listen to you on Sunday again. Chargers

Speaker 2 (08:16):
It's a good start. That's a good start. Michael Munks,
when were you hired by KFI?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
I joined KFI in February of twenty.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Four, so we're coming up on two years, coming up
on two years.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
What a great two years, What a great station, What
a great we got so many great listeners who are
so involved and active. You always tell us how you
feel about what we're doing, and I love that, so
appreciate all of your feedback that we get. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Where are you from.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
I'm from a little place that is not the armpit
of America? Thank goodness.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Right, that's Jacksonville, asked it answered it fully established already.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
A little place known as Kentucky. Got some Kentucky fans
here because you've been to Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Go on.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
I'm from a place called Covington, Kentucky, which is across
the river connected by bridge to a city called Cincinnati.
So I'm from northern Kentucky Cincinnati, worked in the media
in Cincinnati, owned a newspaper in Kentucky, did some radio
and television in Cincinnati, and had time here.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
You said you owned a newspaper.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
I founded a newspaper in northern Kentucky. You know you
live in Greater Los Angeles, right, So a lot of
focuses on the city of Los Angeles, and there are
other pockets that don't get the attention that they that
they should get, even from us to many degrees. And
we had that problem in northern Kentucky with the Cincinnati
media not giving us enough attention. So I founded a
newspaper and I sold it and finally had enough money
(09:41):
to fulfill a dream of moving to Los Angeles, which
promptly took all that money from me.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I was just going to say that billion dollar sale
just to poop disappear.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
It was a modest sale, was enough to move into
a lovely apartment in skid Row adjacent fashion district in
downtown LA.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
With seven other people.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
By the way, right, it is just me and the
spouse and our cat, which we just got a second
cat off the streets of skid.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Row this week. Sounds smart.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
So now there's four of us.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Suggestion. First thing, take that cat to the vet to
confirm that it is in fact a cat. Yeah, because
because you don't know what that's The rats down.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
There are my size and it's easy to be confused.
But it is in fact a cat. We went to
the vet. She's healthy. The milow, the original cat, and
our new cat.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Who we named dos.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
They're kind of getting to know each other a little bit.
All right.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Uh, it's actually it reminds me of a funny story.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
I'm sure this is going to be hilarious.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Well, it's about my play. It's happened on Fifth Avenue.
We'll talk about it a little bit later. But because
the bum moves into the guy's house, So the bum
cat deuce.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
You think I'm being tricked?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yes, just are dose? Dose? Say it again? You're saying
it with an accent. Well, because it's Spanish, okay, can
I okayringo? So have a I have a family member.
I don't think they listen, but I'll find out pretty
soon enough. They named their dog. Oh soo do you
know what that means bear in Spanish? Right? Okay? So
(11:09):
the mother says, oh so, and the daughter corrects her
by saying also, well, you know, and there was a
fight between these two, the mother and daughter.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
We talk about this sometimes on the radio. I know.
It's kind of a fun conversation locally because you can
tell when a transplant moves here because we mispronounced some
of the anglicized pronunciations of Spanish. It's a regionalism, okay,
a colloquialism wherever you want to call it. Whose voice
was that was that the.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Lower It's a regionalism.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Oh that's Shannon.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I got a whole bunch of them. They stick around.
We got a whole bunch of these.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Well, you know, think about l O s f E
l i z that that city? What what do you?
How do you say it?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Say it again? L O s f E l i
z Oh los felis los felis. No, that's only because
I was corrected when I first got here, exactly, I
took Spanish in a high and they would the Spanish
mister Martin, signor Martine would have hit us if we
said it that way.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Do you notice how we put the loss and then
we really anglicized the eli.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, to Felis. Yeah, but the.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Main city here we say loss Angelus, right, instead of this, Well,
you can't.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Have it, but I mean, I guess you can have
it both ways.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
That's what I'm saying. Why don't we have it both ways?
We'll talk about that later.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Oh good, We'll talk about more regionalism later, realism. All right,
we will talk about the Department of Justice has jumped
in on this lawsuit against California and the redistricting. How
many people this is dangerous to do? How many people
voted in favor of Prop fifty in this room? Just
(12:45):
one guy in the back. He's the one closest to
the exit too. Did you notice that? All right, we'll
talk about what the Department of Justice is doing. We'll
talk all kinds of stuff. Michael Monks has joined us.
We're live today lucid Or Brewing Company in Chino Hills.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Our News and Bruce today Luchador Brewing Company here in
Chino Hills. The Chino Hills location. A huge thank you,
by the way to Jamie and Aaron for hosting us
once again. Right, this is a great it's an absolutely
great place. We love it when they have us here.
There's plenty of room coming out. We'll be out here
until one o'clock. Not only are we giving away some
(13:27):
Gary and Shannon show swag, some lucid or swag, we
have tickets for tomorrow's Hops in the Hills brewfest that's
going to be taking place. We also just learned the
world going to be giving away Clippers tickets a little
bit later today. That's a basketball team. Also Eric Church tickets.
Eric Church has a concert at into a Dome coming up.
I think it's tomorrow as a matter of fact. So
(13:49):
we have tickets that we're going to be given away
for that. What that's not how we do it. You
don't just wave your hand and go pick me. That's
Michael Monks has joined us from KFI News. Somebody gave
him the would you say, this is a day off
for you? No?
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Mean I still have to hang out with you for
one which an honor and a privilege.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
But then I have to go back here and file
the news. Really yeah, I've got stories to report. I've
got stuff. You know, they're they're they're hiring the fire
chiefs today at city Hall.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Do you pronounce his name Jamie or Himie?
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Well, I'm confused, and I started sweating yesterday because originally
I thought it was Heimie, that it was all in
agreement that it's Heimie Moore spelled Jamie. And then I
heard it pronounced in the Public Safety committee meeting by
firefighters who were endorsing as hiring as Jamie.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I'm lost. I'm Jamie spells his name with the jai right,
But you now you're not Himie, You're Jamie.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
But HEII Is this again? We're back to Spanish pronunciations.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I know that you are so white, Gary, you have
no idea. You could cut me and I would bleed mayonnaise.
That's that's how I know. It's also a cholesterol problem
that I have, but I'm taking medications for it. One
of the stories that that is in the news today
is the fact that the Justice Department is suing to
block the new congressional district boundaries that were approved by
(15:06):
voters here in California just last week. I said it
all really quickly, so I'm not sure what the applause
is for this, the lawsuit or the redistricting. Just checking
I just checking this. This complaint that was filed in
federal court targets the congressional map that was pushed by
(15:29):
Gavin Gaviner Governor Gavin Newsom, of course, and then California
the redistricting. This is the statement from Pambondi. The redistricting
scheme is a brazen power grab that tramples on civil rights,
mocks the democratic process. The Newsome attempt to entrench one
(15:52):
party rule in silence, millions of Californians will not stand.
One of the one of the things that has come
out of this again is the fact or is the
attempt to split California. Again. They're talking about the potential
for putting it on a ballot, and it wouldn't pass
because you can't just split a state. Willy nilly. I mean,
(16:15):
I think the last time we as a country split
a state was Virginia. Yeah, which became Virginia and the
other side. Should we get into why that happened, Well,
I mean it was slavery, But I mean, you know,
California doesn't doesn't have the same rich history of slavery
that they stakes were a little higher for some constituents
(16:35):
when Virginia split into a West Virginia. Here, I mean
there are naturally cultural and political differences because the state
is so large, it is so vast, you're just going
to have that if all you did was look at
this room and the applause that the Department of Justice
lawsuit got compared to if we were in Burbank or
(16:56):
something like that. I mean, there are vast lead different
constituencies in the state.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
And that is why we should have independent redistricting commissions.
I think everybody can agree that if you base districts
primarily on geography, you will find that your elected representative
is more in line with representing the people.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Who live there.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Right here. Now, with these districts, you will lose some
representation for folks who would prefer to have more conservative
representation in Washington, but that is true for every single state.
We see what's happened in Texas. The circumstances are different
in Texas. But if there is a state like my
home state Kentucky has been gerrymandered by supermajority Republican state legislature.
(17:47):
My hometown of Covington had always been one of the
few to send a Democrat to Frankfort, for example, and
the Republicans have split the city into three different ways
now to make sure that never happens again. And you
see it depending on which part alady is in power
in which state, that this is what happens.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Unfortunately, would it make sense and I don't know if
this was possible, because we have to undo decades and
decades worth of jerrymandering in each individual state. Is just
a general if the goal of redistricting was simply to
send a congressional delegation that more accurately represented the breakdown
(18:24):
of actual voters, if you had in California, you've got
more Democrats than you have Republicans, you have more Republicans
than you have independence, depending on which number you're looking at.
But if somehow that breakdown was closer to what was
actually represented by voter roles, wouldn't that make more sense?
Of course it would, but it would take decades to
undo what we've already done.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
It would also take a lot of time for us
to refocus our own priorities as voters. Because I think
this is also representative of the nationalization of politics and governance.
There is a reason that California is doing not because
California wants more Democrats representing Californian interests, mostly but because
(19:06):
they want more Democrats representing Democratic interest in Washington at
the national level rather than fighting for Democrats and Republicans
here in this state. Every single race over the past
fifteen years or so, and it's only gotten worse, and
I think it's only getting worse, has been about Hillary
Clinton or Donald Trump or Joe Biden. When really you
(19:28):
mentioned Burbank. We're in Chino Hills. Yes the president is important, Yes,
national figures are important, but the rubber meets the road
right here. And if we poured that energy into our
local issues more by listening to local news, reading local news,
or reading local websites and having conversations with each other,
we might elect better people who act like adults.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Wait about monks at twenty eight monks twenty eight monks
twenty eight? What do you guys think Shannon would say?
I think she oh yeah, that sheep vote for me? Ritchie,
are you gonna go see the play? You are going?
(20:10):
Oh excellent. We'll talk about adult theater when we come back,
and the term adult theater, I don't like it. Gary
and Shannon will continue. Michael Monster joined us. We're live
at our News and Bruise in Chino Hills.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Wow. Thank you again. There's something. There's something particularly, it
feels like there's almost like a fireplace in here, doesn't it.
I mean it's cozy, it's cold. I'm not saying it's hot.
I'm just saying it's cozy. Glad that people came and
brave the rain to come on out for for this
fun morning.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Agreed. You know Coast our sister station just flipped the
switch e o'clock this morning, talk about Christmas music. It's
Christmas music.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
And you know, at first I wanted to listen because
I've never actually listened, uh while on the road as
a consumer. As they flipped from like Lady Gaga to uh,
you know, the holidays a cross exactly, and and I did,
and I was like, I don't I'm not really ready
for this. But as soon as it flipped.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
I kinda was ready. Yeah, it flipped in me.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
I think Thanksgiving is a great holiday that does not
get the love that it deserves, and we we skip
over it. I would like to see more respect for
the feast of Thanksgiving is the overeating. I love a feast,
I love the face, I love expressions of gratitude. I
think we could wait a little longer, but coast has switched.
If you want that on your drive later and just
(21:34):
just see if you feel the vibe yet. I was
surprised that I felt the vibe right away.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Well, uh, I wouldn't mind if they did just a
week of Thanksgiving music before they flipped.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Do you know any Thanksgiving songs?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
No, but that made that would that would be a problem,
That'd be a problem with the playlist.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yeah, it's the issue. Michael Monks has joined as Shannon's
on our way to Jacksonville for the Chargers game. But
what but we have a bunch of stuff that we're
going to be giving away. So if you are in
the building here, we have a bunch of stuff to
give away. So appreciate you guys being here, and we'll
prove that a little bit later. Tomorrow is the Hops
in the Hills event that's hosted by Luchador Brewing Company.
(22:11):
A portion of the proceeds goes to the Chino Valley
Fire Foundation. So if you're in this area, even if
you're not in the area. You want to come out here.

general admission ticket when you use the code KFI fifteen. Again,
you'll get fifteen dollars off your admission for the hops
in the Hills when you go to luchadorbrew dot com
slash Hops in the Hills and use the code KFI fifteen.
Shannon coined the term adult theater because she she wanted
(22:59):
to make me on comfortable and it does. It makes
me uncomfortable every time. I have been involved in a
couple times in some local theater shows, stage shows, and
then I found out that Michael Monks left quite a
history of community theater behind when he left the Greater Cincinnati,
Kentucky area. I've been known to natty Kama Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Trapes across the board's on occasion.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
That's why I don't talk about it because people assume
I'm gonna say stuff like that. But you were nominated.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
I've never been nominated for anything, since they had some
pretty nice awards. But since I has a robust arts community,
it's a it's a great art city, and there are
a lot of small theaters that I got to be
a part of and I did get a nomination back.
And this is why I kept bringing this. It's hilarious
to me. I'm not trying to brag. It was seventeen
years ago. I did a show and I got a
lead actor nomination, but I lost. The guy plays Richard
(23:49):
the Third. You're not gonna beat Richard the Third. It
could be anybody, Yeah, right, But I mean his name
was Daniel day Lewis. But but other than that, I
mean he was fine. He was just fine. But don't
you love doing it? Is did a nice break from
everything else that you're doing.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yes, but I've I have wrestled with I think this
time more than anything, the why do I? Why do
you do it? Why would you do it?
Speaker 4 (24:12):
I did it because I thought I might be an
actor and you'll find.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
And that guy wants you. I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Yeah, I've got a monologue i'll do for you later,
speaking of I find and maybe you found this that
acting and broadcasting are our cousins because you're interpreting text,
you're you're reading, you're adding inflection, intonation, cadence, and sometimes
you have to memorize lines. You have to be a
certain personality, you have to know blocking and that sort
(24:41):
of thing. It's very similar and and so, I mean,
the talent's just kind of work. Except and let me
ask you if you've noticed this, I don't think anytime
you see a movie or television show where somebody is
playing a reporter, they're always horrible at being a reporter. Yeah,
and news anchors are always horrible actors, even and they're
playing themselves in television shows. So the skills are close.
(25:05):
But it's very rare unless it's giants like you and
me carry Offman that people can do both.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
It wouldn't happen. I mean, listen, if they made a
movie about brewing beer, everybody that works here at Luca
to or brewing company would go those guys are morons.
They don't know what they're doing. It doesn't look anything.
That's not what beer making is like. It's not what
life you know in a brew fest is like anything.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
But I think the actors would be able to play
a brewer. I think. I don't think actors play news
anchors or or broadcaster as well. Right, it's like a
caricature of the very serious work that you and I
do every single day.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
I don't know how often you've listened to the show,
but that's not what happened. I think it's because I'm
broken and I have a need for attention.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Applause. Yeah, let's give Gary round, Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Oh that fills my heart. Oh it bills the applause
shaped hole in my heart. I appreciate it. But if
you're interested in tickets, you can always go to our
Instagram page. It's pinned up there. It's called it happened
on Fifth Avenue Show tonight, tomorrow and Sunday night.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
And you just know he's great. He works hard, he
gives us all to everything, and I bet you're just
outstanding in that. And we're all looking forward to this
year's Christmas play, I think in a way we never
have before.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Again, people put pressure on me for that, and I
don't know how it's gonna I don't know how that's
gonna pan out. Well, I may have to do auditions.
You how many people have now said that they want
to be a part of the Garyhanon Show. Christmas show
of a problem in the office. There's some weird stuff
going on. So again. We are live today at Lucidor
Brewing Company in Chino Hills and we have a bunch
(26:41):
of stuff we're giving away. Three hours left. Come on
out and say hi. Michael Monk says, joined us and
we're gonna be here until one o'clock today. We'll continue
right after this. You've been listening to The Gary and
Shannon Show, you can always hear us live on KFI
AM six forty nine am to one pm every Monday
through Friday, anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
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):
Thank you, everybody. Welcome to our latest news and bruise.
We're live today Luchador Brewing Company in Chino Hills. We
have some interesting news for today. Wow, everybody got really quiet.
That's uh, we're doing something different today. We fired Shannon
(00:30):
last night, so all right, that's the correct answer. All right,
now we're getting now, we're getting somewhere. Uh, Shannon can't
be here today only because I'm sorry, only because of well,
I'm gonna blame it on the government shutdown and the
fact that air travel is an absolute pantload of mess
(00:51):
right now. So the Chargers moved up their departure flight.
She's flying to Jacksonville for the game on Sunday. My
word is that she's gonna suit up for the game.
I'm not sure what position she's gonna play, but long snapper,
something in the defensive backfield, something like that. And guess what,
we could not do the show without her. She's on
the phone right now. Hello Shamnon, Hello Gary.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I am devastated. It sounds so much fun there, and
I am stuck on the one ten in the rain
and the traffic headed to the facility. I so wish
I was there, devastated yesterday hearing this news. And you
guys already sound like you're having so much fun and
I am not. And I've got to go to an
arm pit, which is Jacksonville. I'm sure the people there
(01:36):
are lovely, but not as lovely as people in Chino Hills.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I would say that that your day in the last
twenty four hours. You called me yesterday afternoon to tell
me that there was a heacup in the plan, and
your life this morning is normal. Ours is extraordinary because
people here are drinking at nine am and you're stuck
in rainy traffic.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Not only that, but I pulled I pulled a groin
muscle somehow in my sleep, and I can't lift my
right leg, like seriously, I've kind of handicapped, and my
power went out this morning. So my hair is soaking wet.
I look like a disabled wet rat. And so I
really am not in shape for news and bruis.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Anyway, let me say this. I learned this term once
at Bible camp inprecatory prayer. Where I pray for something
bad to happen, I ask for a small wound, not
necessarily a pulled groin, but hey, I'll take it. Thank you. Lord.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, it's not a good scene over here, but that's okay.
You guys are going to have such a good time.
The crowd there sounds incredible. Who are the special guests today.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Well, there's two that I know of that are in
these three I should say that are in the house
right now. First of all, we're gonna introduce Michael Monks
to everybody here, get him dirty with everybody here, so
so he'll be here in just a second. We have
an actual life size cardboard cutout of you, Shannon. I
believe the picture itself is from the air show down
(03:20):
on Huntington Beach, and by life size, I would say
it's about what would you guys say, three feet tall.
We told Dave Weeds to make it life size. This
is You're gonna be very angry at him when you
when you see it. And then we have another Shannon
in the house that may make a news and bruise
on air debut a little bit later in the show
as well. Yes, Shanne, that's exciting, that's you're all set.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
You are all set. I'm not worried about you at all.
You've got Michael Munks and Shannon Hoffman there. Oh my god, again,
I'm very jealous. I am not there.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Well, don't get caught, rubin. You're growing on the airplane.
That's going to cause some problems. Just just take.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
It, I know.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Also, don't let anybody else rob it. That's a personal thing.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I don't know if it's a him or groin. Usually
you diagnose this because you're a trainer, but I don't
know what's going on. All I know is I can't
really walk and can't lift my leg.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
So but don't.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Hey, you guys better.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Hold Gary to the promise that he made that he's
gonna dance on the bar there at Luchador.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
My wife just looked at the bar to see if
it was possible. She did. She just shook me off.
We'll see. Listen, nobody's drunk yet, but it's only nine o'clock.
Drive safe. We'll listen to you on Sunday again. Chargers

Speaker 2 (08:16):
It's a good start. That's a good start. Michael Munks,
when were you hired by KFI?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
I joined KFI in February of twenty.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Four, so we're coming up on two years, coming up
on two years.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
What a great two years, What a great station, What
a great we got so many great listeners who are
so involved and active. You always tell us how you
feel about what we're doing, and I love that, so
appreciate all of your feedback that we get. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Where are you from.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
I'm from a little place that is not the armpit
of America? Thank goodness.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Right, that's Jacksonville, asked it answered it fully established already.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
A little place known as Kentucky. Got some Kentucky fans
here because you've been to Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Go on.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
I'm from a place called Covington, Kentucky, which is across
the river connected by bridge to a city called Cincinnati.
So I'm from northern Kentucky Cincinnati, worked in the media
in Cincinnati, owned a newspaper in Kentucky, did some radio
and television in Cincinnati, and had time here.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
You said you owned a newspaper.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
I founded a newspaper in northern Kentucky. You know you
live in Greater Los Angeles, right, So a lot of
focuses on the city of Los Angeles, and there are
other pockets that don't get the attention that they that
they should get, even from us to many degrees. And
we had that problem in northern Kentucky with the Cincinnati
media not giving us enough attention. So I founded a
newspaper and I sold it and finally had enough money
(09:41):
to fulfill a dream of moving to Los Angeles, which
promptly took all that money from me.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I was just going to say that billion dollar sale
just to poop disappear.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
It was a modest sale, was enough to move into
a lovely apartment in skid Row adjacent fashion district in
downtown LA.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
With seven other people.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
By the way, right, it is just me and the
spouse and our cat, which we just got a second
cat off the streets of skid.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Row this week. Sounds smart.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
So now there's four of us.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Suggestion. First thing, take that cat to the vet to
confirm that it is in fact a cat. Yeah, because
because you don't know what that's The rats down.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
There are my size and it's easy to be confused.
But it is in fact a cat. We went to
the vet. She's healthy. The milow, the original cat, and
our new cat.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Who we named dos.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
They're kind of getting to know each other a little bit.
All right.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Uh, it's actually it reminds me of a funny story.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
I'm sure this is going to be hilarious.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Well, it's about my play. It's happened on Fifth Avenue.
We'll talk about it a little bit later. But because
the bum moves into the guy's house, So the bum
cat deuce.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
You think I'm being tricked?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yes, just are dose? Dose? Say it again? You're saying
it with an accent. Well, because it's Spanish, okay, can
I okayringo? So have a I have a family member.
I don't think they listen, but I'll find out pretty
soon enough. They named their dog. Oh soo do you
know what that means bear in Spanish? Right? Okay? So
(11:09):
the mother says, oh so, and the daughter corrects her
by saying also, well, you know, and there was a
fight between these two, the mother and daughter.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
We talk about this sometimes on the radio. I know.
It's kind of a fun conversation locally because you can
tell when a transplant moves here because we mispronounced some
of the anglicized pronunciations of Spanish. It's a regionalism, okay,
a colloquialism wherever you want to call it. Whose voice
was that was that the.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Lower It's a regionalism.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Oh that's Shannon.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I got a whole bunch of them. They stick around.
We got a whole bunch of these.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Well, you know, think about l O s f E
l i z that that city? What what do you?
How do you say it?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Say it again? L O s f E l i
z Oh los felis los felis. No, that's only because
I was corrected when I first got here, exactly, I
took Spanish in a high and they would the Spanish
mister Martin, signor Martine would have hit us if we
said it that way.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Do you notice how we put the loss and then
we really anglicized the eli.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, to Felis. Yeah, but the.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
Main city here we say loss Angelus, right, instead of this, Well,
you can't.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Have it, but I mean, I guess you can have
it both ways.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
That's what I'm saying. Why don't we have it both ways?
We'll talk about that later.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Oh good, We'll talk about more regionalism later, realism. All right,
we will talk about the Department of Justice has jumped
in on this lawsuit against California and the redistricting. How
many people this is dangerous to do? How many people
voted in favor of Prop fifty in this room? Just
(12:45):
one guy in the back. He's the one closest to
the exit too. Did you notice that? All right, we'll
talk about what the Department of Justice is doing. We'll
talk all kinds of stuff. Michael Monks has joined us.
We're live today lucid Or Brewing Company in Chino Hills.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Our News and Bruce today Luchador Brewing Company here in
Chino Hills. The Chino Hills location. A huge thank you,
by the way to Jamie and Aaron for hosting us
once again. Right, this is a great it's an absolutely
great place. We love it when they have us here.
There's plenty of room coming out. We'll be out here
until one o'clock. Not only are we giving away some
(13:27):
Gary and Shannon show swag, some lucid or swag, we
have tickets for tomorrow's Hops in the Hills brewfest that's
going to be taking place. We also just learned the
world going to be giving away Clippers tickets a little
bit later today. That's a basketball team. Also Eric Church tickets.
Eric Church has a concert at into a Dome coming up.
I think it's tomorrow as a matter of fact. So
(13:49):
we have tickets that we're going to be given away
for that. What that's not how we do it. You
don't just wave your hand and go pick me. That's
Michael Monks has joined us from KFI News. Somebody gave
him the would you say, this is a day off
for you? No?
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Mean I still have to hang out with you for
one which an honor and a privilege.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
But then I have to go back here and file
the news. Really yeah, I've got stories to report. I've
got stuff. You know, they're they're they're hiring the fire
chiefs today at city Hall.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Do you pronounce his name Jamie or Himie?
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Well, I'm confused, and I started sweating yesterday because originally
I thought it was Heimie, that it was all in
agreement that it's Heimie Moore spelled Jamie. And then I
heard it pronounced in the Public Safety committee meeting by
firefighters who were endorsing as hiring as Jamie.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I'm lost. I'm Jamie spells his name with the jai right,
But you now you're not Himie, You're Jamie.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
But HEII Is this again? We're back to Spanish pronunciations.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I know that you are so white, Gary, you have
no idea. You could cut me and I would bleed mayonnaise.
That's that's how I know. It's also a cholesterol problem
that I have, but I'm taking medications for it. One
of the stories that that is in the news today
is the fact that the Justice Department is suing to
block the new congressional district boundaries that were approved by
(15:06):
voters here in California just last week. I said it
all really quickly, so I'm not sure what the applause
is for this, the lawsuit or the redistricting. Just checking
I just checking this. This complaint that was filed in
federal court targets the congressional map that was pushed by
(15:29):
Gavin Gaviner Governor Gavin Newsom, of course, and then California
the redistricting. This is the statement from Pambondi. The redistricting
scheme is a brazen power grab that tramples on civil rights,
mocks the democratic process. The Newsome attempt to entrench one
(15:52):
party rule in silence, millions of Californians will not stand.
One of the one of the things that has come
out of this again is the fact or is the
attempt to split California. Again. They're talking about the potential
for putting it on a ballot, and it wouldn't pass
because you can't just split a state. Willy nilly. I mean,
(16:15):
I think the last time we as a country split
a state was Virginia. Yeah, which became Virginia and the
other side. Should we get into why that happened, Well,
I mean it was slavery, But I mean, you know,
California doesn't doesn't have the same rich history of slavery
that they stakes were a little higher for some constituents
(16:35):
when Virginia split into a West Virginia. Here, I mean
there are naturally cultural and political differences because the state
is so large, it is so vast, you're just going
to have that if all you did was look at
this room and the applause that the Department of Justice
lawsuit got compared to if we were in Burbank or
(16:56):
something like that. I mean, there are vast lead different
constituencies in the state.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
And that is why we should have independent redistricting commissions.
I think everybody can agree that if you base districts
primarily on geography, you will find that your elected representative
is more in line with representing the people.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Who live there.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
Right here. Now, with these districts, you will lose some
representation for folks who would prefer to have more conservative
representation in Washington, but that is true for every single state.
We see what's happened in Texas. The circumstances are different
in Texas. But if there is a state like my
home state Kentucky has been gerrymandered by supermajority Republican state legislature.
(17:47):
My hometown of Covington had always been one of the
few to send a Democrat to Frankfort, for example, and
the Republicans have split the city into three different ways
now to make sure that never happens again. And you
see it depending on which part alady is in power
in which state, that this is what happens.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Unfortunately, would it make sense and I don't know if
this was possible, because we have to undo decades and
decades worth of jerrymandering in each individual state. Is just
a general if the goal of redistricting was simply to
send a congressional delegation that more accurately represented the breakdown
(18:24):
of actual voters, if you had in California, you've got
more Democrats than you have Republicans, you have more Republicans
than you have independence, depending on which number you're looking at.
But if somehow that breakdown was closer to what was
actually represented by voter roles, wouldn't that make more sense?
Of course it would, but it would take decades to
undo what we've already done.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
It would also take a lot of time for us
to refocus our own priorities as voters. Because I think
this is also representative of the nationalization of politics and governance.
There is a reason that California is doing not because
California wants more Democrats representing Californian interests, mostly but because
(19:06):
they want more Democrats representing Democratic interest in Washington at
the national level rather than fighting for Democrats and Republicans
here in this state. Every single race over the past
fifteen years or so, and it's only gotten worse, and
I think it's only getting worse, has been about Hillary
Clinton or Donald Trump or Joe Biden. When really you
(19:28):
mentioned Burbank. We're in Chino Hills. Yes the president is important, Yes,
national figures are important, but the rubber meets the road
right here. And if we poured that energy into our
local issues more by listening to local news, reading local news,
or reading local websites and having conversations with each other,
we might elect better people who act like adults.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Wait about monks at twenty eight monks twenty eight monks
twenty eight? What do you guys think Shannon would say?
I think she oh yeah, that sheep vote for me? Ritchie,
are you gonna go see the play? You are going?
(20:10):
Oh excellent. We'll talk about adult theater when we come back,
and the term adult theater, I don't like it. Gary
and Shannon will continue. Michael Monster joined us. We're live
at our News and Bruise in Chino Hills.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Wow. Thank you again. There's something. There's something particularly, it
feels like there's almost like a fireplace in here, doesn't it.
I mean it's cozy, it's cold. I'm not saying it's hot.
I'm just saying it's cozy. Glad that people came and
brave the rain to come on out for for this
fun morning.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Agreed. You know Coast our sister station just flipped the
switch e o'clock this morning, talk about Christmas music. It's
Christmas music.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
And you know, at first I wanted to listen because
I've never actually listened, uh while on the road as
a consumer. As they flipped from like Lady Gaga to uh,
you know, the holidays a cross exactly, and and I did,
and I was like, I don't I'm not really ready
for this. But as soon as it flipped.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
I kinda was ready. Yeah, it flipped in me.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
I think Thanksgiving is a great holiday that does not
get the love that it deserves, and we we skip
over it. I would like to see more respect for
the feast of Thanksgiving is the overeating. I love a feast,
I love the face, I love expressions of gratitude. I
think we could wait a little longer, but coast has switched.
If you want that on your drive later and just
(21:34):
just see if you feel the vibe yet. I was
surprised that I felt the vibe right away.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Well, uh, I wouldn't mind if they did just a
week of Thanksgiving music before they flipped.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Do you know any Thanksgiving songs?
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
No, but that made that would that would be a problem,
That'd be a problem with the playlist.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yeah, it's the issue. Michael Monks has joined as Shannon's
on our way to Jacksonville for the Chargers game. But
what but we have a bunch of stuff that we're
going to be giving away. So if you are in
the building here, we have a bunch of stuff to
give away. So appreciate you guys being here, and we'll
prove that a little bit later. Tomorrow is the Hops
in the Hills event that's hosted by Luchador Brewing Company.

Shannon coined the term adult theater because she she wanted
(22:59):
to make me on comfortable and it does. It makes
me uncomfortable every time. I have been involved in a
couple times in some local theater shows, stage shows, and
then I found out that Michael Monks left quite a
history of community theater behind when he left the Greater Cincinnati,
Kentucky area. I've been known to natty Kama Kentucky.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Trapes across the board's on occasion.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
That's why I don't talk about it because people assume
I'm gonna say stuff like that. But you were nominated.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
I've never been nominated for anything, since they had some
pretty nice awards. But since I has a robust arts community,
it's a it's a great art city, and there are
a lot of small theaters that I got to be
a part of and I did get a nomination back.
And this is why I kept bringing this. It's hilarious
to me. I'm not trying to brag. It was seventeen
years ago. I did a show and I got a
lead actor nomination, but I lost. The guy plays Richard
(23:49):
the Third. You're not gonna beat Richard the Third. It
could be anybody, Yeah, right, But I mean his name
was Daniel day Lewis. But but other than that, I
mean he was fine. He was just fine. But don't
you love doing it? Is did a nice break from
everything else that you're doing.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yes, but I've I have wrestled with I think this
time more than anything, the why do I? Why do
you do it? Why would you do it?
Speaker 4 (24:12):
I did it because I thought I might be an
actor and you'll find.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
And that guy wants you. I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Yeah, I've got a monologue i'll do for you later,
speaking of I find and maybe you found this that
acting and broadcasting are our cousins because you're interpreting text,
you're you're reading, you're adding inflection, intonation, cadence, and sometimes
you have to memorize lines. You have to be a
certain personality, you have to know blocking and that sort
(24:41):
of thing. It's very similar and and so, I mean,
the talent's just kind of work. Except and let me
ask you if you've noticed this, I don't think anytime
you see a movie or television show where somebody is
playing a reporter, they're always horrible at being a reporter. Yeah,
and news anchors are always horrible actors, even and they're
playing themselves in television shows. So the skills are close.
(25:05):
But it's very rare unless it's giants like you and
me carry Offman that people can do both.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
It wouldn't happen. I mean, listen, if they made a
movie about brewing beer, everybody that works here at Luca
to or brewing company would go those guys are morons.
They don't know what they're doing. It doesn't look anything.
That's not what beer making is like. It's not what
life you know in a brew fest is like anything.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
But I think the actors would be able to play
a brewer. I think. I don't think actors play news
anchors or or broadcaster as well. Right, it's like a
caricature of the very serious work that you and I
do every single day.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
I don't know how often you've listened to the show,
but that's not what happened. I think it's because I'm
broken and I have a need for attention.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Applause. Yeah, let's give Gary round, Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Oh that fills my heart. Oh it bills the applause
shaped hole in my heart. I appreciate it. But if
you're interested in tickets, you can always go to our
Instagram page. It's pinned up there. It's called it happened
on Fifth Avenue Show tonight, tomorrow and Sunday night.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
And you just know he's great. He works hard, he
gives us all to everything, and I bet you're just
outstanding in that. And we're all looking forward to this
year's Christmas play, I think in a way we never
have before.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Again, people put pressure on me for that, and I
don't know how it's gonna I don't know how that's
gonna pan out. Well, I may have to do auditions.
You how many people have now said that they want
to be a part of the Garyhanon Show. Christmas show
of a problem in the office. There's some weird stuff
going on. So again. We are live today at Lucidor
Brewing Company in Chino Hills and we have a bunch
(26:41):
of stuff we're giving away. Three hours left. Come on

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
