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):
I love Thursday.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Thursday's my favorite day of the week because you've got
that anticipation of Friday. You know, It's always been my
favorite day of the week.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Just Meday. Traffic is worse on Thursdays. It is on
the way home, on the way here.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
It was not for me today, but generally, yes, I
do find that to be true. I don't know why
that is, well, because Thursdays I got to work. You
got to work on Thursday. Friday you don't got to work.
Thursday kind of got to work. Monday, don't got to
work Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday kind of got to work. And
if you're going somewhere for the weekend, Thursdays when you're
gonna want to take off.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Okay, I feel like my uncle Frederick. My uncle fred
once told me that it's because truck drivers are more
prevalent on Thursday. Is that right that there are more
trucks on the road on Thursday.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
We have so many truck driver friends that we could
get a quick answer.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
To if that's true, If there's something specific about Thursdays
and driving her out?

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Is that?

Speaker 4 (01:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Is that a thing? Can you please let us know?

Speaker 3 (01:07):
And don't forget to honk? Did he go by Fred
or Frederick? That's a good I always called him Frederick.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
Yes, because you were respectful. But my dad called him
fred but my mom called it's her brother, so she
always called him Frederick. That checks out.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
That checks out because your dad's kind of guy who
makes friends with the propane guy, right, you know, he
just he's friends with everybody. So it would be like, hey,
fred more relaxed, more relaxed, casual.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
You and your mom are more formal. Yeah. Yeah, I'm
learning a lot about myself.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
I know.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Isn't that great? I'm opening up? Gary Shannon, we watched
WI I shouldn't say we.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
I was working out yesterday afternoon, and when I returned
to the living room, the living space, my wife was
watching A.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Star Is Born. Oh and those blue eyes mesmerized me. Yeah,
now had you you've.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Both we've seen it.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Yeah, and I you know, we went through the whole
thing in twenty eighteen or seven to whenever that movie
came out.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
I was hurt by that movie because it was so great.
It was. That's a great movie. It's very good. It's
a great movie.

Speaker 5 (02:22):
I agree.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, And then I saw again spoiler alert, the dog
at the end.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
I just I know, that's hard to watch that whole thing,
the whole thing, the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yeah, dogs fine for that dog's fine. Dog got a
whole steak. It's not like the dog died or anything
like that, but that that moment was.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
So God that was awful going through some things.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, I bet you, yay, you chose emotional violence yesterday
when you walked into that living space.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Bottom of the hour, we're going to talk about President Trump.
There's a couple of weird things going on about his
federalization of law enforcement, if that's the right term to put.
He's using federal truth hoops to try to cut down crime,
specifically in DC right now. The mayor of DC says
it's working, and President Trump thinks that Beverly Hills is

(03:12):
rife with crime.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
So we'll talk about that at the bottom of the arm,
I have bad news for you. The Orgy Dome Dome
is not going to reopen at Burning Eye. I'm okay
with that, Okay, Yeah, it's nud so Minneapolis Star Tribune
is one of those great papers, and obviously it is

(03:34):
at the forefront of yesterday's horrific events at Annunciation Catholic
School there in South Minneapolis. And they talk to people
that were inside that church. Of course, the eight year
old and ten year old were shot and killed by
the shooter, Robin Slash Robert, a parent who witnessed the shooting, says,

(03:58):
that's the thing that's going to with me was when
I said, you guys can get up inside that church,
and she says, I knew some kids were not going
to get up.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
This was the first week of the school year.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
It was the first school mass of the school year,
a new principal, a new priest at the adjoining parish.
There signs posted outside the church capture the mood a
future filled with hope in all caps.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
The first nine to one one calls yesterday came in
at about eight twenty seven. Some of the people who
were inside said that they watched the principal rush towards
the gunfire. Remember the guy the shooter was shooting through
a stained glass window, and the principal rushed towards the

(04:53):
gunfire to lock a door so that they couldn't get inside.
Some people ran into the basement, some people hid in
a classroom. The first police officer on the scene came
in just a few minutes after it all began.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Shay Mcarda has a kid weld His child is a
second grader there, and he decided to attend the mass
the last minute. Crept inside behind in the last pew,
and he is a hunter, and he knows the sound
of gunshots. But when they rang out, he saw no shooter.
When he looked to the stained glass on the east

(05:27):
side of the big church, he saw a light coming
through the stained glass windows, and he realized the shots
were coming from outside. He said, it was weird how
quiet it felt in the church as the shooter reloaded
and shot dozens more bullets. Stay down, Stay down, he said.
Just don't let the kids outside, is what went through
his mind.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
By the time that officer, the first officer on the scene,
was able to burst into into the church, he shouted,
where's the shooter without hesitation. The parents others were pointing
outside to where the gunshots were coming from, and by
then the gunfire had stopped because the shooter shot himself
in the face or head or whatever.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
As you mentioned, two kids ages eight and ten were
killed from gunshot wounds to the head. Fourteen more ages
six to fifteen were injured, plus three parishioners in their eighties.
Of the eleven brought to the medical center near by,
seven in critical condition for required operations.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
There's a particularly.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
A poignant statement from apparently a second grader who was
inside the church at the time, and because they're, you know,
what is that six seven years old? There's no way
you're going to expect a six or seven year old
to wrap their head around the motive for something like this,
which is just as convoluted as the shooter's life to

(06:55):
begin with. But the second grader said that they thought
it must have been a robber trying to steal the
prizes from the church's upcoming September fest. That that's why
somebody would have shot up a church, was to steal
the prizes. Now, the shooter himself herself, whatever bs line

(07:19):
they're going to, left behind writings and YouTube videos that
are an absolute, crystal clear blueprint of acute mental illness and.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Going beyond.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
The weapons were purchased legally. The mom worked at the school.
This is the absolute tippy top pointy end of mental
illness based on everything that they were able to say,

(08:00):
put down in writing, put on.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Video, etc. So we'll talk about whatever the motive might
have been.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yeah, a lot of boxes checked him a mental illness game.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
One of the stories that we'll talk about when we
get into swamp Watch is that Lisa Cook, that governor
on the Federal Reserve Board, is suing President Trump over
her decision to fire her from the Central Bank, saying
that she should be immediately reinstated because the White House
doesn't have authority to order the dismissal. This lawsuit that
she's bringing is going to set the stage for a

(08:38):
landmark legal battle. It's going to have huge implications for
the FED, which is technically an independent institution. Lawsuit also
listed the FED and Jerome Powell Chairman as defendants, right
alongside President Trump.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Did you know V could be an athlete as well
as Diviano?

Speaker 2 (08:57):
What who from BTS? I don't know who that is?
What are you talking about? You're the go to for
me for BTS.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Just say V through the ceremonial first pitch at Dodger
Stadium and nailed it, nailed it. Thank you guys for
acknowledging what was probably the best ceremonial first pitch I've
seen in a long time.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
It really was, wasn't it it was? Did you know
he had that in him? Nope, me neither.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
What a shocker. And he looks so good with the jeans.
Oh yeah, right, good Jean Boom.

Speaker 5 (09:30):
I'm looking it up right now.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Jeans, the gans look good, the whole thing. It's got
a good built figure.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
It's okay.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Dodgers did beat the Reds five to one. The Diamondbacks
will come to town tomorrow. Angels lost to the Rangers
twenty to three.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Did you read the article I think it was in
the La Times about how hard.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
It is to right? That fit looks good? Doesn't it fit?
Look good?

Speaker 1 (09:53):
The way that jeans fit like, all of it, not
a stretch.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
He just nailed it, nailed it.

Speaker 5 (10:00):
That's my lucky number and number seven.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah, it's all of it. That's all of our lucky number.
After that pitch, did you go pro I mean, he
looks like it.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
But there was an article in the La Times about
how hard it is to hit three hundred. You know,
you think about Tony Gwinn in three ninety four, and
you think about Freddie Freeman as the only player in
the NL hitting above three hundred, and how the today's
game just doesn't lend itself to that. You know, you
got to get on base, you got to hit home runs.
It's just it's rare to find with the way you know,

(10:31):
the game ebbs and flows with what's popular. It's kind
of like football, you know, or is it going to
be a league that relies on the run or a
league that relies on the pass, And it goes back
and forth. Same thing with baseball, and I think that
kind of you know, what are you aiming for here?

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Small ball? Yeah, home runs.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
The story out of Minnesota doesn't get a whole lot
better the more we know about the shooter in this case,
again the shooting at that church school. It was a church,
the school was next door, but it was for the
first day of school mass that we were there.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
In the same thought process of me, which is this,
I'm reading the New York Times and they're talking about motive.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
What's the motive?

Speaker 1 (11:17):
The motive is sought in the shooting in Minneapolis and
we had spent about oh ninety seven seconds yesterday after
we had learned about the YouTube, twenty minute video, what
it showed, what the shooter said, how the shooter laughed maniacally,
and I was kind of full up when it came
to giving the shooter any sort of attention in terms

(11:38):
of motives interesting to me when it doesn't involve mental illness.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Motives interesting to me.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
If I'm a juror sitting on a homicide trial, that's
when I'm curious about motive did this person do it?

Speaker 2 (11:51):
And why? And what did they gain?

Speaker 1 (11:54):
But when it is shrouded in mental illness the way
this is, I I don't care to dig into the
writings of a crazy person. There's nothing there of any
value that can prevent the next one. You've got to
treat the mental illness interesting.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
I'm I read through a bunch of this stuff last
night because I wanted to see which clues were ignored.
I'm not blaming anybody but this guy. I'm not blaming anybody.
I'm not blaming his parents, I'm not blaming the rest
of his family. I'm not blaming you know, lack of security.

(12:32):
I'm not blaming it. This guy is the one responsible
for it. But when you think of the arsenal that
existed in the video, for example, where he's showing he's
he's spent time writing on each of the different magazines,
little stupid messages or if you you know, hear his

(12:54):
own his own voice talking about his ruggles with thinking
he's trans and then thinking he's not trans, and he
doesn't want to dress like a girl anymore, and he
does want to, but he's got all of these different
things going on, and one of the the only way
he felt like to escape all the busyness that's going
on in his head is to take himself out, but

(13:17):
to commit some huge final act. On the way out,
he apologizes to his family does all of this stuff?
I want to know what I do. Want to know
what mom and dad saw, or at least mom. I
don't know where dad is. I haven't seen reference to Dad.
I want to know what the siblings saw. Because if

(13:39):
we are so willing to overlook some very clear and
simple signs of acute mental illness like this, what what
service do we perv?

Speaker 1 (13:51):
What do you do if you're that parent, okay, or
that sibling.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
In the state of Minnesota, I believe.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
I mean, I mean, what are you were referring to
that they could have seen because I did not dig
into all those details.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
Well, he he talked about the very public nature of
his appearance. For example, he talked about wearing his hair long,
and one of the things that he said was, you know,
he desperately wants to cut his hair. I mean, just
the idea of the struggle that goes on in his head.
He desperately wants to cut his hair, but it's the

(14:27):
only thing that he has left to point to his
time as a transgendered individual or something like that, Like
he was giving up on the thought that he wanted
to be a girl.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
I think that's probably a pretty common thing that goes
on with transgender young people.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Go on. What tells you that he's going to shoot
up a school.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
The fact that he has fifteen different magazines that are
going to fit into his rifle, or that he's got
all of this stuff laid.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Out of that gun culture that exists.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
No, absolutely, not the idea. There's something to be yes,
there's gun culture. There's twenty three year old kids, kids
who are perfectly capable of owning multiple weapons and never
in their wildest dreams ever have a thought of effectuating
an act like this, The fact that he has all

(15:21):
of this crazy stuff that he's been writing, these other
reports that come out. As a kid, he used to
walk around and stole the virtues of Adolf Hitler like
he was off to begin with, long before he was
able to purchase him.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
So as a parent, when the before the guns, before
the transgender thing that hit your parent, your kids into
Adolf Hitler writings, how does that tell you, though, that
the kid is gonna want to kill people?

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Well, what do you do?

Speaker 1 (15:50):
I mean, you could put them in counseling, But other
than that, what do you do?

Speaker 3 (15:56):
You don't stop if you have a feeling, if you
have if you have itch, if you have a if
you have a a fear, whatever. The term is that
your kid is going to do something violent or has
the ability to do something violent, or you.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Know, is struggling.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
What if he's a gentle person and a heavily gentle soul, Like,
what if this is person somebody who's never shown anger.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
There's nothing about this guy that says gentle soul. Really,
just in terms of the way he wrote, the way
he talked, and see I hardly.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
Think I have a bad take on it because I
think of somebody as transgender as somebody who is fragile.
That's how I immediately profile them as a fragile person.
And so I when I think of fragility, I don't
think of all the time as aggression and violence like that.
I also not being a parent, but I've got I

(16:48):
also could see myself making excuses for my kid and
trying to say he's going to grow out of it, right,
or it's there's no way my kid could be capabable
of This would be my feeling and bones probably and.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
Which I and I totally understand that. But we have
to we have to stop ignoring those you know, gut feelings,
the intuition that we have about the wavelength, you know,
whatever whatever frequency you and your kid are on, even
if it's a bad relationship and you guys don't get
along for whatever reason, you can tell when something is off.

(17:23):
And too many people, too many times ignore those things. Yeah,
and I mean, I don't I don't.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Know what this kid's struggle was. I don't know why
he felt.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Like, like, how many times do kids struggle from seventeen
to twenty five and they turn out just fine.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Sure, And I think that's what parents.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Hoped for, that the hope for well, my kid is
just he's going through a thing and he's gonna turn
out fine.

Speaker 5 (17:47):
You know.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
I pointed, like, this is family in my neighborhood that
has these shouting matches with their kid, and they've had
these shouting matches with their kid his whole adolescence. And
I think I put myself in those shoes of well,
their kids clearly dealing with something. But do you turn
him in? Do you say he's going to be a
school shooter? Do you turn I mean, that's a very difficult,
complex thing.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
And then and then what recourse is there? Even if
you think your.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Kid's gonna shoot up a school? There's no like where
do you who do There's no jail.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
For people who might be school shooters. Yeah, I get it.
I'm just it's it's a it's a it's a heartbreaking
thing to think of. Yeah, that these parents, or these
siblings or the people that were close to him might
have seen something and might have been able.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
To I'm sure they saw a lot, but did it
rise to the level of them being able to get
there in their head that this would be the next thing.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Probably not. They never saw the whole elephant. I mean,
they just saw parts of it.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Oh, I'd never heard that term. That's a different I'm
mixing my metaphors here. I like that one. We're going
to ride that.

Speaker 3 (18:54):
But it's it will it will sit and it will
rot your brain to read through some of this stuff.
Because he was clearly crazy. He clearly said he wanted
to do this. He wanted he wanted to end it.
He wanted to do this massive act to take it out.
He knew that it was going to blow up his family.
He knew it was going to ruin the lives of
his siblings. He even said, I'm sorry for that. You

(19:15):
may have to change your names, but just forget about me.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
Kind of thing. You do wonder what went on in
that home? You do?

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Is he medicated? And I asked that question, now, is
he medicating all of that?

Speaker 1 (19:27):
And if he is, you'd point to the medication as
a problem, and if he isn't, you'd point to the
medication not being there as a problem.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
Possibly gross all right, crimes, gross crime. It looks like
the mayor of DC is happy that there are federal
agents on the Street and why President Trump thinks Beverly
Hills is rife with crime.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Gary and Shannon will oh I heard a handle talking
about this this morning.

Speaker 5 (19:53):
You did.

Speaker 4 (19:53):
Yeah, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI Am six four.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
We do have a three I at LIS update. Yeah,
the space thing, it's making its way towards us. We'll
have an update a little bit later in the show.
There was a little girl found wandering through Santa Clarita
last night, somewhere between three and four years old. They said,
that's odd with a backpack, a dog, and no pants.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
She wanted to move out and she was like, I
don't want to put my tights on right in your
Magic Mountain McBean parkways.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
At about ten o'clock last night, Sheriff's Department said they
have arrested a woman for child endangerment. They have not
yet explained the relationship between the two college football I
think there's a handful of games today opening weekend. Bill Belichick,
new college football coach. I don't know if you've heard
of him, and his girlfriend Jordan Hudson, has taken an
interesting turn. First of all, they've started a business together

(20:52):
called TCE Wrights Management LLC.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Yeah, she was owned to marketing and she's going to
use him as a springboard.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Owned by him, run by her.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
They filed for several trademarks, including the term gold digger.
They want to use the term on jewelry and key
chains and T shirts and all kinds of stuff. I
get grossed out by them.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
I can't wait. I assume they start this weekend. They
start what football? Oh? And I just to see how
they get coverage.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
You know her, You know how people, you know, older
folks like to say, just.

Speaker 2 (21:32):
Play the game. I don't want to hear about your politics.
Just throw the football. I'm like that with these relationships.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
I don't care about who you're having sex with or
getting married to.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
I don't care.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Good for you, wonderful. I don't need to hear about it.
I don't need updates. Just throw the football.

Speaker 5 (21:50):
It's all.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
It's all make me laugh, clown.

Speaker 6 (21:53):
Yes.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
DC Mayor Muriel Bowser was reading through statistics yesterday and
said she's pretty thankful that there are federal agents helping
control crime throughout Washington, d C.

Speaker 7 (22:09):
We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what
MPD has been able to do in this city for carjackings.
The difference between this period, this twenty day period of
this federal surge and last year represents a eighty seven

(22:33):
percent reduction.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
That is good news.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
Now, one of the things that we've seen over the
last couple of days is that President Trump has suggested
he might pull the trigger and put some federal troops
on the ground in places like, no, I don't know, Chicago,
or New York City or Los Angeles.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Again.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
He even pointed to that crime ridden vestibule that is
Beverly Hills as a place that he might do.

Speaker 8 (23:00):
Yeah, great place.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
I have a house there. I had a house there.

Speaker 8 (23:03):
I used to stay a lot of time, spend a
lot of time there. And a great place.

Speaker 5 (23:09):
You know that.

Speaker 8 (23:10):
I have friends. They leave their trunk open for their
car because they don't want they know they're going to
be vandalized. They don't want the trunk ripped off in
order for them to steal what's in the back. They
leave the doors open so when they go into steal
the radio or whatever they take that they don't rip
off the door. They leave the door's totally open. So
the criminals when they go and open the door. They

(23:30):
have to break the windows and kill the car in
order to steal whatever it is in the car.

Speaker 5 (23:35):
That they're looking for.

Speaker 8 (23:37):
And that's at a level that nobody's ever seen before.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
I've never heard about it in Beverly Hills.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
I've heard about it in places like Oakland and San Francisco,
where if you are like rental car, for example, just
leave the windows down if they're going to If it's
that way, they don't have to break it and see
that you have nothing in the backseat.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
It's easier that way.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
But Beverly Hills, I feel like that's an older talking point.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
But I don't know. I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
I'm more interested in the aliens coming to earth. In
the three I at List, Yes, yeah, let's just say.
Unlike natural comments, which always emit nickel alongside iron like
a defense, three I at List shows the metallic element

(24:30):
without any detectable iron.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Y'all, Oh, what does that mean? We'll tell you when
we come back.

Speaker 4 (24:39):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM sixty.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Coming up in the next hour, there was the Jailhouse
interview to dig into. Unfortunately, the mom and dad who
killed their seven month old baby son there in sam
b in DNA. The dad has rolled over confessed to
some sort of accountability with the child's death. In this

(25:10):
jailhouse interview, we'll have all the latest coming up after
the news at the top of the hour.

Speaker 6 (25:14):
Hello, this is Eric Love you show from Temecula. I
just listened to you guys talk about how amazing the
BTS pitch was and his genes. But when I watched it,
I feel like he has no butt and his pitch
was good, but.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
It wasn't like a great throw Anyways.

Speaker 6 (25:35):
I still love you guys, but you made me look
at something I was not as excited about as you guys.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
I'm glad he brought that up because coming up in
the eleven o'clock hour, we have a new profile for
the new dream guy, and that guy might may be
more in line with this.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
The new dream guy is Beefy, Beefy, beefy.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Ok Maybe some ass on the new dream guy, unlike
what our gentleman caller had noted, with the lack of okay.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
And politically ambiguous.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
And politically ambiguous, Who wants a guy barking at you
about politics?

Speaker 2 (26:16):
I was thinking about that when I read through that article.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
It's just the idea of if I guess, if you
meet somebody, if you're at a political event, maybe and
you meet somebody and you realize you guys are simpatico
when it comes to that. Great, But if you're not
meeting at a political event, why are you talking about politics?
I know what a turnoff. The good news is it's

(26:40):
all going to end probably end of October. Harvard physicist
Azvi Lobe. When you say it's all get in, you
mean us, Yeah, you don't have to worry about that
stuff anymore. Avi Loeb is the guy that we've talked
about who has been keeping an eye on three I Atlas.
This is this interstellar object that's been speeding through our

(27:03):
solar system and at the end of October is going
to be closer to the Sun than at any other point.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
Now. Is it a comet?

Speaker 3 (27:10):
Probably, but that leaves a slight chance that it's not
a comet. And what he has been saying is this
may be some sort of interstellar probe from a different civilization. Man,
are we ready for that that they launched towards Earth?

(27:31):
Because we've been making so much damn noise or something.
Unlike natural comets, which always emit nickel alongside iron, three
I atlas shows the metallic element without any detectable iron.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
So that points to a technological origin that maybe this
was not a natural comet formed through natural circumstances, but
maybe one put together by aliens.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
New study published by astrophysicists in Chile finds that three
I atlas is shedding nickel at roughly five grams per
second and cyanide at twenty grams per second, and both
of those numbers arising sharply as we get close as
we as it gets closer to the sun. Researchers said
that the mechanisms that drive these emissions are not typical

(28:27):
of natural cometary processes.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Very different from an expected water rich comment everybody knows
that you didn't have to say that, m M, traditional comics.
Please also also yeah, also good observations from the Hubble
space telescope have failed to identify a commentary tale low tail,
no water put together by technology.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Guys, They're coming. NASA released some new options. Are we
doing more of the word worlds right now?

Speaker 8 (29:00):
Like?

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Is this the equivalent of like a twenty twenty five
war of the world's where like the aliens are coming?
Well different I would say if there was a pre
see if Orson Wells did a pregame because he did
it as.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Like they've already landed and we don't know right what
they're here for.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
So you do that, like on the twenty ninth, see
what kind of trouble we can get into.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Yeah, I think we should.

Speaker 5 (29:26):
Well, it will be real life. It won't be fake
because so we won't be.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Lying, right, I mean, we could make a case for
it being real life. We could say it was all
speculative until it's not. Like we're in a court of law.
We can speculate.

Speaker 5 (29:39):
But what if it's actually happening, then it's not.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Speculator, Well, then it's not.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
But we can you know, yeah, we can say, you know,
say they just touched down in Kansas City. They touched
down in Kansas City. Why would they pick Kansas Yeah,
a good barbecue. They want barbecue would be the first
place you hit up Earth for.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
I think I think the UNI the States would be
awful limits.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
We'd have to go some because people would be able
to Like I live in Kansas City.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
I didn't see nothing, So.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
It's gonna be like Siberia or something. I wouldn't even
go that exotic, a tropical. Okay, oh you so not.
We're in Indonesia, Indonesia, Peru, Peru is interesting.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
That's interesting. We'll narrow it down. We'll find a lot.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
We don't know anything about those places.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
Anybody else barbecues. I don't think we have a whole
lot of listeners in Peru.

Speaker 5 (30:29):
I don't think you want to be the first landing area.
We need time to prepare, you.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Know, I would love to be the first landing area.
How about this? How about this?

Speaker 3 (30:37):
There's a first landing slash sighting in a place like Peru,
and then within about an hour they're here, multiple others
in other poor parts of the one in Australia, one
in Indonesia.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Now, because we would have spotted them so far, the
telescope is only picked up this one.

Speaker 5 (30:54):
What if it breaks five different pieces?

Speaker 2 (30:57):
Yeah, it's a it's like a minute man, mean shift
is up above the earth and send them down. You guys,
what if.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Mister bumber Puss is on one of those aircrafts, then
you're saved.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
I mean, could you imagine?

Speaker 1 (31:17):
Yes, I could mister bumber Puss touches down right in
that parking lot there, right outside the old Tonight Show.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
Plan, and he plants his flag and he says meow.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
No, he doesn't say me ow. Don't be ridiculous. Why
would he say that? Why would he land here? That's
also not stupid.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
What do you mean?

Speaker 1 (31:36):
We just talked about it breaking apart and landing in
different places.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Why not for bank? I guess that's true.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
I feel like you've forgotten mister Bumberpuss is And he's
going to open up a can of whoopass.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
Gary and Shannon as soon as he gets here to
the Tonight Show.
