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.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
The iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Taylor Sheridan, the creator behind all of the Yellowstone and
Yellowstone products.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Isn't he responsible for all of those? Land Man.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Is making a move. He's hopping from Paramount. Is that
correct to NBC? What will that mean for the future
of Taylor shardan.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Product of that whole universe?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
What will it mean for land Man? I love I
loved land Man. I love Billy Bob Thornton. Anything he
does I will watch.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Except speak. I love him as an actor, I mean
as a character. I don't like Billy Bob Thornton as
a human. I don't know the interviews he just seems
it's this very.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I try not to pay attention to actors when they're humans.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
It's a it's a bizarre level of arrogance. Oh really, yeah,
Oh that's important. Don't tell me that and listen. I'm
assuming that a lot of people are like that.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah, we just I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I rarely listen to interviews when actors are humans, and
I know that that's not fair, but it's the way
I choose to enjoy entertainment. I listened to a podcast
with Brad Pitt on it. That's the most recent and
the longest form thing I think I've listened to.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
And he is exactly who he plays in the movies.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Just chill, laid back, cool, not not, there's no pretense whatsoever. Yeah,
it's exactly what you'd want to hear from Brad Pitt.
That makes me sad about Billy Bob Thornton.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
I may be wrong. I'll listen to Mark that.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I thought that he was a saint, but I just
I never gave it any any thought.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
They have arrested a couple of people for the break
into the Louver French media reporting the Paris Prosecutor's office,
and one of the two people that they've taken into
custody was at the airport getting ready to leave. According
to reports in French media yesterday, DNA found at the
sea of the robbery led to the idea of at
least one of the suspects. They left behind a bunch
(02:04):
of stuff, including gloves, one of the high visibility jackets
that they.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Were wearing when they got in there.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
So well before we get into our local swamp with
Kamala Harrison Gavin Newsom capturing headlines over the weekend for
their plans for the White House. Yes, I did say,
Kamala Harris, stay tuned.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
It's rich. Even Democrats are like, eh, thanks.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
We will get into what's going to hit us Tuesday
and Wednesday. And it is a high degree of heat.
We've got a heat advisory in effect for ten am
tomorrow until seven pm Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
It's going to be into the low nineties.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I mean we do get one push of this usually
in October at some point.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I don't remember it being this late.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Is this like the like right before you die, when
you've got one last burst of energy?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
It's like one last burst of summer?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah, what do they call that.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
The death surge? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I'm making things up. Last gas last No, it's not
the gas.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
It's like the quickening.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Let me google it right up there with the only
thing I've googled so far today is hemorrhoids, And now
I'm doing right before you die burst of energy?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
You had some strange medicinal APSA.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Why was I googling hemorrhoids.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Because Michael Monks made a joke and you you wanted
more information. I did want more information, But temperatures, like
you said, low nineties, probably Inland Empire, maybe into the
mid nineties, but for the most part Orange County probably
hies ninety two ninety somewhere in that area.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
They call it a terminal lucidity, or the rally.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
The rally.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
The rally is what I think I've heard.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
My mother had a situation like that before she passed,
but dad didn't what happened.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I think I remember you telling this story.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
The morning that she died.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
She had been kind of up and up all night,
kind of thing in and out of sleep, consciousness, whatever
word you want to use, and she wanted to get
off of the bed, and she was sitting at she
was sitting on the floor kind of. My dad was
sitting in the chair and she was kind of leaned
up again, his against his legs, and my aunt tells
the story where she's not she hasn't eaten. It's I mean,
(04:24):
it's clearly this is the end time. But my mom
leaned over she said something like, I don't I feel
like I want to throw up or something like that,
and so they said, well, go ahead, like nothing stopping
you just do it. So she leaned her head to
the side and made a barfing sound but didn't actually
throw up. It went but bah, and then started laughing
(04:48):
like it was not she I don't know if she
thought she was playing a joke on them, or if
maybe she thought she really was bart.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Right, but there was just nothing there.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
But it was that weird lucidity because the day previous
I never I'm I was there all day and I
never really saw much of yeah, no sign.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Of I mean, wow.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
You could hold her hand and she would kind of
respond to it, but it was never conscious conversation at all.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Right, So that's wild. But that she laughed about it,
that's cool.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
And then about eight hours or so, eight or nine
hours later, she finally took her last breath, but and
didn't make a bar sound.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Didn't My dad was had the morphine going pretty strong,
but I remember it was hours before he died, and
I went in to talk to him, you know, and
they say it's good for you and good for them
to kind of go in and chat and be like, hey,
you know, this is how I feel.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You're wonderful and thank you and all the things.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
And he grabbed my hand with the strength of freaking Thanos.
Like he grabbed my and I was like this, Mf's
not gonna die.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Like they were.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Like it's almost over, like these are the last hours.
And the strength with which he held my I was like,
not today. And then sure enough, but he was you know,
he wasn't responsive because he was just kind of like
looking at the corner of the room on the morphine.
But his strength to the very end is crazy to me.
And they say that, they say that grip strength is
(06:17):
so important to have in life later in life for sure,
and I'm thinking, well.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
He had it right to the very end.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
All right, Well, we come back a couple interviews over
the last couple of days for Gavin Newsom, and they
both provide kind of different looks. Number one is the
CBS Sunday Morning News. You can imagine how buttoned up
it was. And then the other one was with a
podcast called All the Smoke with a couple of NBA players.
All he tried to play this game where he again
(06:51):
doubled down on the hard scrabble lifestyle and the only
thing that saved him was dribbling a basketball in the backyard,
throwing a baseball against the house until he realized he
could throw the ball a little bit harder than all
the other boys.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Oh my gosh, I have not heard this. I cannot wait.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Also, interesting polling going on with the governor's race to
tell you about as well. And when I say we've
got a new survey from Quinnipiac to tell you about,
what do you think the topic's going to.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Be residential approval ratings?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Usually right? No, No, this one's about bad Bunny. We'll
get to that as well. Gary and Shannon will continue.
A shot at one thousand dollars is coming up.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Before we get to your chance at one thousand dollars.
I was saying, I've not enjoyed Billy Bob Thornton interviews
that I've seen him or outside of the characters that
he's playing me call a kind of.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Hey, guys, I didn't hear what Billy Bob Thornton said
in the interview, but I have met him a couple
of times, and one time spent probably five or six
hours with him, and he was more than a pleasure.
We were, you know, gushing over him. And he was
deflecting all the attention to his his co stars and saying,
how you know they were the talent and all this
(08:15):
kind of stuff. But he was as pleasant and nice
and humble as anybody I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
That's what I want to hear.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Oh that's my take. Listen.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
And again, I don't know the guy, and I've never
met the guy, so I will defer to people who
have met him. But you think I used the term
self important, that I described him as that's the way
he appears.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Speaking of self important. Gary, Wow, that.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
He thinks I have a similar attitude. Did he say
that that's what he's getting at? I don't think so.
I don't think that's what he meant. I just I
just find him to be very interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I know he plays similar care and a lot of
the roles he plays, and maybe I just love that character.
But he just seems like a good hang Like I
want to hang out with him. I want to hang
out with him in that dive bar in Santa Monica,
Like I want to spend a day with.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Billy Bob Thornton. I think it would be a good time.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
That's funny, because I want to spend a guy. I
want to spend the day with that guy in the
bar in Texas where he says he wants to He's
not drinking anymore, so just give him a milt Ultratra.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, that guy too. Every every I.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Think I was thinking of the legal show he was
in where he holds up in the bar in Santa Monica.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Or sling Blade. I mean, I'll take that one too.
I'll take that Billy, Bob Thornton.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
All of them. Really.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
We have a chance for you to win a thousand dollars,
he say. You pick it up.
Speaker 5 (09:43):

Speaker 4 (10:06):
Bank is the keyword that goes on the website and

win in another thousand dollars. Okay, get the business part
of this out of the way first. Gavin Newsom has
said that he will determine whether or not he's going
to run for president after the twenty six midterm elections.
He said as much on CBS Sunday Morning yesterday.
Speaker 7 (10:26):
I'm looking forward to who presents themselves in twenty twenty
eight and who meets that moment. And that's the question
for the American people.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
El Meredith say, after the twenty twenty six midterms, you're
going to give it serious thought.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
Yeah, I'd be lying.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Otherwise I'd just be lying, and I can't do that.
Speaker 8 (10:45):
You've got her long said, if you ever run for
the White House, you need a compelling why, a reason.
Are you moving closer to figuring out your own why
and your own decision?
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (10:56):
It needs to said of you. Compelling why you can
endure anyhow, And so I don't think. I think the
biggest challenge for anyone who runs for any office is
people see right through you. If you don't have that why,
you're doing it for the wrong reasons. And so look,
well that that will, that faith will determine that.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Did he get to the why, No, That's what he's
trying to figure out is what he's saying.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
He's trying to figure out wants to run for president.
He doesn't know yet or he just doesn't know what
will resonate with people.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
That's that's exactly the same way I heard it, which
is he's workshopping whatever the message.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Is going to be out my angle, not that it's.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Based in you know, in a true desire for service,
et cetera. But he's got to find the message that
makes it sound like it's rooted in his desire for service.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Okay, this is the other thing. He was on a podcast.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
It's called All the Smoke Podcasts, and it's by a
couple of NBA player former NBA players, Matt Barnes, Stephen Jackson.
Both of them had kind of reputation were being tough
guys today.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Do they also play poker?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I do not know if they do or not.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
But they were asking him about uh, enduring hardship in.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
His life county.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
But but listen to how hard it was.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
It was also about paying the bills, man, and it
was just like hustling and and so I was out
there kind of raising myself, turning on the TV started,
you know, just getting obsessed, you know, sitting there with
the you know, the wonderbread and five stacks of.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
You know, like the white.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
Come every day every day in the backyard, just bouncing
the basketball, throwing the ball against the wall until the
ball is just like fraying, man, And that's it whole thing.
So just and then you know, then the student that
(12:59):
was in the back of his head down all of
a sudden started throwing the baseball a little fashion than
everyone else and started, you know, make a few free
throws because I was sitting there practicing five hundred of
them every damn night. And in high school, I look
up in the stands, my dad's back up there.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
What and it's like.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
He's bringing his friends and your captain of the team,
and you're like, gee, you know, and it just saved
me and it got me into college.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Okay, wait, okay, he had a hoop to practice the
free throws.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Is that what I'm hearing?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Well, no, he didn't ever say, well, I guess he did.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Throws.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
And you can't do that against the house. I mean,
you can you can kind of judge where the hoop
is if you're just gonna freaking bankshot those. But I mean,
this is all a little bit.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I turned on the TV with the Wonder.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Bread Like, okay, and we've discussed this before.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
You're a latch key kid.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You're out there trying to figure out how to pay bills.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
And Ross Davin dad was, Dad was a judge. Dad
was a dad what you call a legal consultant for
the Getty family that did not go out for a.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Pack of cigarettes and come back because you were the
star point guard at Ross High School or whatever.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
And to point out he talked about it helped him
in school. He got over a lot of his dyslexia,
or at least learned how to work around it that
he still talks about. He also said at the very
end there that it got him into college. And we
went through this about a year and a half ago
when this came out the first time. He never played
baseball at the University of Santa Clara, not on the
(14:30):
varsity team at least, And I didn't know there was
such a thing as a JV team the Giants when
he threw out the first pitch many years ago, ten
fifteen years ago, I think he was still mayor at
the time. The Giant said he was a baseball player
at the University of Santa Clara and that he had
(14:50):
been drafted by the Texas Rangers. Now, I don't know
if the Giants came up with that line of bs
or the pr office for the mayor came up with that.
He was never drafted by any major league team, and
he did not play for the University of Santa Clara.
He did get interest and he was part of the workouts.
(15:11):
But anybody who played baseball at the University of Santa
Clara says, listen, it's a joke between all the other players.
We knew who the guy was. I mean, we now
know who he is and who he was. Then he
never suited up and played a game for the University
of Santa Clara, let alone the whole basketball thing. I
don't know where that came in, but it's just it's another.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
One that suddenly my dad's back and my dad is
like he had left the family.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
It's an after school My god, I've.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Seen this movie.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Did he also clear up his alcohol habit and go
on to coach the team to the.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Suddenly my Dad's back.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, okay, whatever, Listen. People will tell themselves whatever story
about themselves they want to tell themselves.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
It's fine.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
It's just you don't need to. You know, he did
have hardship with the dyslexia. That's enough talk about that.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
That's enough. You're enough, Gavin, and listen.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
I'm annoyed by a lot of the things that he
does when he speaks, but he's really good at it.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I mean, I'll give him that credit.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
He is really good at putting together a speech, even
with all of the bad cliches and awful you know,
weird references to too many words and the too many numbers,
But he's really good at it well.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
And you put that up against Kamala Harris, who can't
speak her way out of a paper bag, and it's
it's night and day. We'll talk about what she had
to say about running for president. Also, we'll check in
with Vegas to see what the odds for the next
governor of California are. That's going to be here before
you know it. It's going to be here in a year,
which means that I have a surprise for you. You
(16:47):
have a surprise for me. I like surprises.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
It's a Michael Monks surprise.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Oh. I like Michael Monks and surprises.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I'm going to mix them.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Alta is there ice cream.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Nope, you're listening to you Gary and Shannon on demand
from KF I am six forty.
Speaker 9 (17:06):
So sorry to bug y'all out on my boat just fishing?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Is this guy?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
He's going to ask a couple of personal questions here
if that's okay, Okay, we're all friends here.
Speaker 9 (17:16):
Listening to the show as always. Shannon, you're hot? Does
your husband let you date? Gary? I think you're the
topic of a lot of thesises. Four psychology majors.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Really love you. There is not much there, great show.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
Why do you?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
I have no idea? But it's a short thesis.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Interesting?
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Why would I have no idea?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I'm trying to look for depth.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Strain your eyes.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Michael Monks has joined us. What a surprise.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Are you in? Yeah, good to see you.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
We've talked to minimum wage many times. We talked to
minimum wage for hotel workers. We talked to Olympics, et
cetera minimum wage. There is now a push for minimum
wage in the construction industry.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (18:09):
Ela has this thing in California where they like to
do industry or economic sector specific minimum wage hikes, and
the latest proposal at Los Angeles City Hall is to
hike the minimum wage for certain construction workers who work
on mid size projects, and they have defined that as
any type of apartment development that has ten or more
(18:31):
units and is under eighty five feet high. And they're saying, look, okay, yeah,
the medium wage, allegedly in the city of Los Angeles
for construction workers is about eighteen dollars an hour.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
This seems low.
Speaker 10 (18:46):
It does seem low because construction is often described as
a good job. You know, it pays well. Eighteen dollars
is not a lot of money, especially here. So the
idea is to boost that more than thirty two dollars
an hour plus the healthcare requirement by more than seven dollars,
so a little more than what they're proposing for the
tourism workers at the hotels and at the airport concessionaires.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
This is a bigger hike.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
So repeat that thirty two dollars an hour minimum plus
the seven dollars an hour equivalent basically for benefits.
Speaker 10 (19:18):
That's right, and that's the same thing that's happening for
the tourism workers as well. You're going to twenty two
dollars an hour this year, you'll be at twenty five
next year, until you get to twenty eight dollars or
thirty dollars an hour for hotel and airport workers. But
there is also that component for the health insurance.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
So arguably you're doubling your labor costs for construction. And
this is happening, yeah, at a time where we may
be on the cusp of a ramp up in developments,
because there is there appears to be a recognition that
housing cost in Los Angeles and really across the country
in general exists at the level they do because there's
(19:58):
not enough, and so build, build, build seems to be
the idea. Senate Bill seventy nine has been signed into
law to boost residential construction near transit stops, specifically in
urban counties like Los Angeles. So you can expect more
construction unless it becomes natively expensive.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
And there's fewer people these days to work under the table,
shall I say?
Speaker 10 (20:20):
Well, they brought this up at the Council committee meeting
that heard this late last week, suggesting that a lot
of these folks who work in this industry are here illegally, right,
and so there aren't as many of those folks either
around anymore or willing to go out and work and
risk and caught, so that's been one of the issues
as well. This was presented by council member Hugo Soda Martinez,
(20:44):
who is also very well known for pushing the other
minimum wage increases.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
So this is his wheelhouse. Is something he nice to
do with other people's money.
Speaker 10 (20:53):
Yeah, he was in favor of the Senate Bill seventy
nine that I mentioned, which is supposed to build more
high rise residential towers and your heavily traffic transit stops
or subway train stations. So he is in favor of building,
but he also wants to see those workers who are
building those projects make more money.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
That's so how is he getting paid in this? Is
there some sort of union money that.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
He comes from the union industry.
Speaker 10 (21:20):
He was part of that Unite Yere Hotel Workers a
word now and they're very active in Los Angeles and
they're very influential. In fact, at this meeting, the only
folks you heard from were union members.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
In the real world, if you're not getting your your
pockets lined with union cash by fighting for the construction workers,
if you went to your boss, if you're making eighteen
and you went to your boss and said, I want
thirty two, he would laugh you out of an office.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
That's a non starter.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Eighteen to thirty two plus the seven dollars for whatever
extra you were talking about.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
I was listening, but I forget.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Yeah, you drifted that out.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I do. That's insane.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
If you're at eighteen and you want to come to
them at twenty five, that's a conversation. It's probably even
be scaled back about twenty three exactly. But coming to
a thirty two plus the seven dollars for whatever extraneous
things you need to get seven extra dollars an hour for,
that's a non starter and it should be laughed off
the table because it will get punitively expensive.
Speaker 10 (22:19):
We've seen it happen in a fast food industry. We
saw that there. I believe that's statewide, that there's a

Speaker 9 (23:16):

Speaker 10 (23:16):
Daddy's Hands was a number one. It was an awful
country music by Holly Dunn. I can't believe that went

a bad song.
Speaker 10 (23:48):
It's just you know, daddy's hands, pray daddy's hands, work
daddy's hands, console daddy's hands, spank.
Speaker 1 (23:55):

You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
That was Gary trying to save the song.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
I will admit I wanted to pooh poo on your
attitude towards it at first, but then I listened to
it and I was like, Okay, yeah, see why it's
a little but that versus perfect.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
But the fact that that went to the top of
the charts number one Ladies and Gentlemen in nineteen eighty
six is.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Wild, sweet, angelic voice of Holly Done.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Holly Dunn has a sweet angelly voice.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
She's passed on.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Sure is the driven Snow, but I don't need to
hear about her daddy's hands for three and a half minutes.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Sea.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
That takes me right back to kindergarten.
Speaker 10 (25:12):

I heard you talking about Billy bom Thornton and Shannon,
how he would be a good hang.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
You know what, I think.
Speaker 11 (25:47):
I think the two of you would be a good hang.
I'd like to hang out with you. I think it would
be a kicking good time. We are a great I
was just I checked my calendar and I'm open on Thursday,
and I'm just wondering if you have anything going on Thursday,
we could hang out a little bit.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
It's funny. I like mourning beer.
Speaker 11 (26:01):
I like pizza, So if you have any recommendations, I'd
love to hang out. I'll be in the West Covina area.
I don't know if you could run into you there,
but Thursday's good for me. What about you Easton Town Center?
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Brive right there.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
We are gonna be live at Bjay's Restaurant and Bruehause
in West Covina this Thursday, Bryan, That's where we will
be and we're gonna f it up.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
You know what I mean. This is uh the West
Covina that turned its back on us.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
So we needed at most and said we needed a
permit to drink morning beer and eat morning pizza and
do a morning radio show. And we're like, f you
guess what, we're going to be back. We don't care
if there's an infestation, we don't care if we don't
have a permit. We're doing the show from West Covina
at some location.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Whether y'all like it or not.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Road Tide, Roll Tide.
Speaker 5 (26:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
Energy, Okay, he said, time Obama gut involved.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
You know, it's a thing in the Deep South.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
On Saturdays when you're watching SEC football is a thing,
not when you're talking about doing a radio show.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
And maybe he got got wrapped up in Daddy's hand.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
You're right, I'll give that. Gary.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
It seems like you're a little jealous of Gavin Newsom's
baseball career. Yeah, but the facts of the facts, he's
a better baseball player than you.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Give it up, my brother.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
I would love people are trying to love to see
him at at fantasy camp.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
I would love to see he looks like he's in
good shape.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Oh, I'm not saying he's not. And he may be
a better baseball play I don't care. That's not how
I measure my Uh, that's not how I measure Mike.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Got Gary Hoffen to almost say.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
A bad word.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
That is not how I measure my worth is whether
or not someone's a better baseball player than me.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Yeah, he played in college.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Like I said, he played on the JV team in
college and probably did a whole lot better in high
school than I did at baseball. But that doesn't that's
not a it's not a put down to me. All right,
I almost said a bad word.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Yeah, and it was almost not just a bad word,
but it was like dirty. That's usually no, I don't
think so, okay, all right, when we come back, we'll
clean it up for the Canadians. I really want to
get to this poll. Those tolling numbers about the race
(28:37):
for governor will do that. Some surprises in there when
we come back to Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio Lap
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
I A M six forty, The Gary and Shannon Show
on demand on.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
The iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Taylor Sheridan, the creator behind all of the Yellowstone and
Yellowstone products.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Isn't he responsible for all of those? Land Man.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Is making a move. He's hopping from Paramount. Is that
correct to NBC? What will that mean for the future
of Taylor shardan.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Product of that whole universe?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
What will it mean for land Man? I love I
loved land Man. I love Billy Bob Thornton. Anything he
does I will watch.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
Except speak. I love him as an actor, I mean
as a character. I don't like Billy Bob Thornton as
a human. I don't know the interviews he just seems
it's this very.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I try not to pay attention to actors when they're humans.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
It's a it's a bizarre level of arrogance. Oh really, yeah,
Oh that's important. Don't tell me that and listen. I'm
assuming that a lot of people are like that.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah, we just I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I rarely listen to interviews when actors are humans, and
I know that that's not fair, but it's the way
I choose to enjoy entertainment. I listened to a podcast
with Brad Pitt on it. That's the most recent and
the longest form thing I think I've listened to.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
And he is exactly who he plays in the movies.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Just chill, laid back, cool, not not, there's no pretense whatsoever. Yeah,
it's exactly what you'd want to hear from Brad Pitt.
That makes me sad about Billy Bob Thornton.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
I may be wrong. I'll listen to Mark that.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I thought that he was a saint, but I just
I never gave it any any thought.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
They have arrested a couple of people for the break
into the Louver French media reporting the Paris Prosecutor's office,
and one of the two people that they've taken into
custody was at the airport getting ready to leave. According
to reports in French media yesterday, DNA found at the
sea of the robbery led to the idea of at
least one of the suspects. They left behind a bunch
(02:04):
of stuff, including gloves, one of the high visibility jackets
that they.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Were wearing when they got in there.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
So well before we get into our local swamp with
Kamala Harrison Gavin Newsom capturing headlines over the weekend for
their plans for the White House. Yes, I did say,
Kamala Harris, stay tuned.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
It's rich. Even Democrats are like, eh, thanks.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
We will get into what's going to hit us Tuesday
and Wednesday. And it is a high degree of heat.
We've got a heat advisory in effect for ten am
tomorrow until seven pm Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
It's going to be into the low nineties.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I mean we do get one push of this usually
in October at some point.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I don't remember it being this late.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Is this like the like right before you die, when
you've got one last burst of energy?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
It's like one last burst of summer?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah, what do they call that.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
The death surge? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
I'm making things up. Last gas last No, it's not
the gas.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
It's like the quickening.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Let me google it right up there with the only
thing I've googled so far today is hemorrhoids, And now
I'm doing right before you die burst of energy?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
You had some strange medicinal APSA.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Why was I googling hemorrhoids.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Because Michael Monks made a joke and you you wanted
more information. I did want more information, But temperatures, like
you said, low nineties, probably Inland Empire, maybe into the
mid nineties, but for the most part Orange County probably
hies ninety two ninety somewhere in that area.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
They call it a terminal lucidity, or the rally.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
The rally.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
The rally is what I think I've heard.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
My mother had a situation like that before she passed,
but dad didn't what happened.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I think I remember you telling this story.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
The morning that she died.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
She had been kind of up and up all night,
kind of thing in and out of sleep, consciousness, whatever
word you want to use, and she wanted to get
off of the bed, and she was sitting at she
was sitting on the floor kind of. My dad was
sitting in the chair and she was kind of leaned
up again, his against his legs, and my aunt tells
the story where she's not she hasn't eaten. It's I mean,
(04:24):
it's clearly this is the end time. But my mom
leaned over she said something like, I don't I feel
like I want to throw up or something like that,
and so they said, well, go ahead, like nothing stopping
you just do it. So she leaned her head to
the side and made a barfing sound but didn't actually
throw up. It went but bah, and then started laughing
(04:48):
like it was not she I don't know if she
thought she was playing a joke on them, or if
maybe she thought she really was bart.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Right, but there was just nothing there.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
But it was that weird lucidity because the day previous
I never I'm I was there all day and I
never really saw much of yeah, no sign.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Of I mean, wow.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
You could hold her hand and she would kind of
respond to it, but it was never conscious conversation at all.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Right, So that's wild. But that she laughed about it,
that's cool.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
And then about eight hours or so, eight or nine
hours later, she finally took her last breath, but and
didn't make a bar sound.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Didn't My dad was had the morphine going pretty strong,
but I remember it was hours before he died, and
I went in to talk to him, you know, and
they say it's good for you and good for them
to kind of go in and chat and be like, hey,
you know, this is how I feel.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You're wonderful and thank you and all the things.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
And he grabbed my hand with the strength of freaking Thanos.
Like he grabbed my and I was like this, Mf's
not gonna die.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Like they were.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Like it's almost over, like these are the last hours.
And the strength with which he held my I was like,
not today. And then sure enough, but he was you know,
he wasn't responsive because he was just kind of like
looking at the corner of the room on the morphine.
But his strength to the very end is crazy to me.
And they say that, they say that grip strength is
(06:17):
so important to have in life later in life for sure,
and I'm thinking, well.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
He had it right to the very end.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
All right, Well, we come back a couple interviews over
the last couple of days for Gavin Newsom, and they
both provide kind of different looks. Number one is the
CBS Sunday Morning News. You can imagine how buttoned up
it was. And then the other one was with a
podcast called All the Smoke with a couple of NBA players.
All he tried to play this game where he again
(06:51):
doubled down on the hard scrabble lifestyle and the only
thing that saved him was dribbling a basketball in the backyard,
throwing a baseball against the house until he realized he
could throw the ball a little bit harder than all
the other boys.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Oh my gosh, I have not heard this. I cannot wait.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Also, interesting polling going on with the governor's race to
tell you about as well. And when I say we've
got a new survey from Quinnipiac to tell you about,
what do you think the topic's going to.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Be residential approval ratings?
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Usually right? No, No, this one's about bad Bunny. We'll
get to that as well. Gary and Shannon will continue.
A shot at one thousand dollars is coming up.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Before we get to your chance at one thousand dollars.
I was saying, I've not enjoyed Billy Bob Thornton interviews
that I've seen him or outside of the characters that
he's playing me call a kind of.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
Hey, guys, I didn't hear what Billy Bob Thornton said
in the interview, but I have met him a couple
of times, and one time spent probably five or six
hours with him, and he was more than a pleasure.
We were, you know, gushing over him. And he was
deflecting all the attention to his his co stars and saying,
how you know they were the talent and all this
(08:15):
kind of stuff. But he was as pleasant and nice
and humble as anybody I've ever seen.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
That's what I want to hear.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Oh that's my take. Listen.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
And again, I don't know the guy, and I've never
met the guy, so I will defer to people who
have met him. But you think I used the term
self important, that I described him as that's the way
he appears.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Speaking of self important. Gary, Wow, that.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
He thinks I have a similar attitude. Did he say
that that's what he's getting at? I don't think so.
I don't think that's what he meant. I just I
just find him to be very interesting.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I know he plays similar care and a lot of
the roles he plays, and maybe I just love that character.
But he just seems like a good hang Like I
want to hang out with him. I want to hang
out with him in that dive bar in Santa Monica,
Like I want to spend a day with.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Billy Bob Thornton. I think it would be a good time.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
That's funny, because I want to spend a guy. I
want to spend the day with that guy in the
bar in Texas where he says he wants to He's
not drinking anymore, so just give him a milt Ultratra.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, that guy too. Every every I.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Think I was thinking of the legal show he was
in where he holds up in the bar in Santa Monica.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Or sling Blade. I mean, I'll take that one too.
I'll take that Billy, Bob Thornton.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
All of them. Really.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
We have a chance for you to win a thousand dollars,
he say. You pick it up.

Speaker 4 (10:06):

of this out of the way first. Gavin Newsom has
said that he will determine whether or not he's going
to run for president after the twenty six midterm elections.
He said as much on CBS Sunday Morning yesterday.
Speaker 7 (10:26):
I'm looking forward to who presents themselves in twenty twenty
eight and who meets that moment. And that's the question
for the American people.
Speaker 8 (10:34):
El Meredith say, after the twenty twenty six midterms, you're
going to give it serious thought.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
Yeah, I'd be lying.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Otherwise I'd just be lying, and I can't do that.
Speaker 8 (10:45):
You've got her long said, if you ever run for
the White House, you need a compelling why, a reason.
Are you moving closer to figuring out your own why
and your own decision?
Speaker 4 (10:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (10:56):
It needs to said of you. Compelling why you can
endure anyhow, And so I don't think. I think the
biggest challenge for anyone who runs for any office is
people see right through you. If you don't have that why,
you're doing it for the wrong reasons. And so look,
well that that will, that faith will determine that.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Did he get to the why, No, That's what he's
trying to figure out is what he's saying.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
He's trying to figure out wants to run for president.
He doesn't know yet or he just doesn't know what
will resonate with people.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
That's that's exactly the same way I heard it, which
is he's workshopping whatever the message.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Is going to be out my angle, not that it's.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Based in you know, in a true desire for service,
et cetera. But he's got to find the message that
makes it sound like it's rooted in his desire for service.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
Okay, this is the other thing. He was on a podcast.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
It's called All the Smoke Podcasts, and it's by a
couple of NBA player former NBA players, Matt Barnes, Stephen Jackson.
Both of them had kind of reputation were being tough
guys today.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Do they also play poker?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I do not know if they do or not.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
But they were asking him about uh, enduring hardship in.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
His life county.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
But but listen to how hard it was.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
It was also about paying the bills, man, and it
was just like hustling and and so I was out
there kind of raising myself, turning on the TV started,
you know, just getting obsessed, you know, sitting there with
the you know, the wonderbread and five stacks of.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
You know, like the white.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
Come every day every day in the backyard, just bouncing
the basketball, throwing the ball against the wall until the
ball is just like fraying, man, And that's it whole thing.
So just and then you know, then the student that
(12:59):
was in the back of his head down all of
a sudden started throwing the baseball a little fashion than
everyone else and started, you know, make a few free
throws because I was sitting there practicing five hundred of
them every damn night. And in high school, I look
up in the stands, my dad's back up there.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
What and it's like.
Speaker 7 (13:16):
He's bringing his friends and your captain of the team,
and you're like, gee, you know, and it just saved
me and it got me into college.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Okay, wait, okay, he had a hoop to practice the
free throws.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Is that what I'm hearing?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Well, no, he didn't ever say, well, I guess he did.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Throws.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
And you can't do that against the house. I mean,
you can you can kind of judge where the hoop
is if you're just gonna freaking bankshot those. But I mean,
this is all a little bit.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I turned on the TV with the Wonder.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Bread Like, okay, and we've discussed this before.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
You're a latch key kid.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
You're out there trying to figure out how to pay bills.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
And Ross Davin dad was, Dad was a judge. Dad
was a dad what you call a legal consultant for
the Getty family that did not go out for a.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Pack of cigarettes and come back because you were the
star point guard at Ross High School or whatever.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
And to point out he talked about it helped him
in school. He got over a lot of his dyslexia,
or at least learned how to work around it that
he still talks about. He also said at the very
end there that it got him into college. And we
went through this about a year and a half ago
when this came out the first time. He never played
baseball at the University of Santa Clara, not on the
(14:30):
varsity team at least, And I didn't know there was
such a thing as a JV team the Giants when
he threw out the first pitch many years ago, ten
fifteen years ago, I think he was still mayor at
the time. The Giant said he was a baseball player
at the University of Santa Clara and that he had
(14:50):
been drafted by the Texas Rangers. Now, I don't know
if the Giants came up with that line of bs
or the pr office for the mayor came up with that.
He was never drafted by any major league team, and
he did not play for the University of Santa Clara.
He did get interest and he was part of the workouts.
(15:11):
But anybody who played baseball at the University of Santa
Clara says, listen, it's a joke between all the other players.
We knew who the guy was. I mean, we now
know who he is and who he was. Then he
never suited up and played a game for the University
of Santa Clara, let alone the whole basketball thing. I
don't know where that came in, but it's just it's another.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
One that suddenly my dad's back and my dad is
like he had left the family.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
It's an after school My god, I've.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Seen this movie.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Did he also clear up his alcohol habit and go
on to coach the team to the.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Suddenly my Dad's back.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, okay, whatever, Listen. People will tell themselves whatever story
about themselves they want to tell themselves.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
It's fine.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
It's just you don't need to. You know, he did
have hardship with the dyslexia. That's enough talk about that.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
That's enough. You're enough, Gavin, and listen.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
I'm annoyed by a lot of the things that he
does when he speaks, but he's really good at it.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I mean, I'll give him that credit.
Speaker 4 (16:15):
He is really good at putting together a speech, even
with all of the bad cliches and awful you know,
weird references to too many words and the too many numbers,
But he's really good at it well.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
And you put that up against Kamala Harris, who can't
speak her way out of a paper bag, and it's
it's night and day. We'll talk about what she had
to say about running for president. Also, we'll check in
with Vegas to see what the odds for the next
governor of California are. That's going to be here before
you know it. It's going to be here in a year,
which means that I have a surprise for you. You
(16:47):
have a surprise for me. I like surprises.
Speaker 3 (16:50):
It's a Michael Monks surprise.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Oh. I like Michael Monks and surprises.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I'm going to mix them.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Alta is there ice cream.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Nope, you're listening to you Gary and Shannon on demand
from KF I am six forty.
Speaker 9 (17:06):
So sorry to bug y'all out on my boat just fishing?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Is this guy?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
He's going to ask a couple of personal questions here
if that's okay, Okay, we're all friends here.
Speaker 9 (17:16):
Listening to the show as always. Shannon, you're hot? Does
your husband let you date? Gary? I think you're the
topic of a lot of thesises. Four psychology majors.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Really love you. There is not much there, great show.
Speaker 7 (17:37):
Why do you?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
I have no idea? But it's a short thesis.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Interesting?
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Why would I have no idea?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I'm trying to look for depth.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Strain your eyes.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Michael Monks has joined us. What a surprise.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Are you in? Yeah, good to see you.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
We've talked to minimum wage many times. We talked to
minimum wage for hotel workers. We talked to Olympics, et
cetera minimum wage. There is now a push for minimum
wage in the construction industry.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (18:09):
Ela has this thing in California where they like to
do industry or economic sector specific minimum wage hikes, and
the latest proposal at Los Angeles City Hall is to
hike the minimum wage for certain construction workers who work
on mid size projects, and they have defined that as
any type of apartment development that has ten or more
(18:31):
units and is under eighty five feet high. And they're saying, look, okay, yeah,
the medium wage, allegedly in the city of Los Angeles
for construction workers is about eighteen dollars an hour.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
This seems low.
Speaker 10 (18:46):
It does seem low because construction is often described as
a good job. You know, it pays well. Eighteen dollars
is not a lot of money, especially here. So the
idea is to boost that more than thirty two dollars
an hour plus the healthcare requirement by more than seven dollars,
so a little more than what they're proposing for the
tourism workers at the hotels and at the airport concessionaires.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
This is a bigger hike.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
So repeat that thirty two dollars an hour minimum plus
the seven dollars an hour equivalent basically for benefits.
Speaker 10 (19:18):
That's right, and that's the same thing that's happening for
the tourism workers as well. You're going to twenty two
dollars an hour this year, you'll be at twenty five
next year, until you get to twenty eight dollars or
thirty dollars an hour for hotel and airport workers. But
there is also that component for the health insurance.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
So arguably you're doubling your labor costs for construction. And
this is happening, yeah, at a time where we may
be on the cusp of a ramp up in developments,
because there is there appears to be a recognition that
housing cost in Los Angeles and really across the country
in general exists at the level they do because there's
(19:58):
not enough, and so build, build, build seems to be
the idea. Senate Bill seventy nine has been signed into
law to boost residential construction near transit stops, specifically in
urban counties like Los Angeles. So you can expect more
construction unless it becomes natively expensive.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
And there's fewer people these days to work under the table,
shall I say?
Speaker 10 (20:20):
Well, they brought this up at the Council committee meeting
that heard this late last week, suggesting that a lot
of these folks who work in this industry are here illegally, right,
and so there aren't as many of those folks either
around anymore or willing to go out and work and
risk and caught, so that's been one of the issues
as well. This was presented by council member Hugo Soda Martinez,
(20:44):
who is also very well known for pushing the other
minimum wage increases.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
So this is his wheelhouse. Is something he nice to
do with other people's money.
Speaker 10 (20:53):
Yeah, he was in favor of the Senate Bill seventy
nine that I mentioned, which is supposed to build more
high rise residential towers and your heavily traffic transit stops
or subway train stations. So he is in favor of building,
but he also wants to see those workers who are
building those projects make more money.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
That's so how is he getting paid in this? Is
there some sort of union money that.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
He comes from the union industry.
Speaker 10 (21:20):
He was part of that Unite Yere Hotel Workers a
word now and they're very active in Los Angeles and
they're very influential. In fact, at this meeting, the only
folks you heard from were union members.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
In the real world, if you're not getting your your
pockets lined with union cash by fighting for the construction workers,
if you went to your boss, if you're making eighteen
and you went to your boss and said, I want
thirty two, he would laugh you out of an office.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
That's a non starter.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Eighteen to thirty two plus the seven dollars for whatever
extra you were talking about.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
I was listening, but I forget.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Yeah, you drifted that out.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
I do. That's insane.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
If you're at eighteen and you want to come to
them at twenty five, that's a conversation. It's probably even
be scaled back about twenty three exactly. But coming to
a thirty two plus the seven dollars for whatever extraneous
things you need to get seven extra dollars an hour for,
that's a non starter and it should be laughed off
the table because it will get punitively expensive.
Speaker 10 (22:19):
We've seen it happen in a fast food industry. We
saw that there. I believe that's statewide, that there's a
higher page.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Yeah, and ps I went to the fast food industry yesterday.
CARLS Junior ordered a three piece chicken tenders and a fries.
It was fourteen dollars and seventy six cents, so.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
You'll see it reflected in the frices.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Dollars and seventy six.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Cents for three piece and some fries. Did you get
a drink?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Say, no, no, that's crazy town and that wasn't even
in la.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
That was somewhere along the five.
Speaker 10 (22:53):
The cover of her album Somewhere along the five, Shannon
far Daddy's Hands.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
That was a joke when we were Why were we
talking about daddy's hands?
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Have you guys heard this song from the eighties?
Speaker 4 (23:10):
I was adding more punch lines to my original joke,
should not be eating dad?
Speaker 9 (23:16):
Right.
Speaker 10 (23:16):
Daddy's Hands was a number one. It was an awful
country music by Holly Dunn. I can't believe that went
no romanticizing her dad's hands.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Right six eighty six. Remember, fantasizing may not be the
right term. No, it is, it is. You got to
hear the song. We'll play it well.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
I mean, hey, elmert can you pull up but Daddy's
Hands by Holly Dunn? Yeah, I got you, thank you,
and I am I apologize for having you do this.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
This violate's probably some sort of.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
It's a lovely song, that song. No, no, it's not
a bad song.
Speaker 10 (23:48):
It's just you know, daddy's hands, pray daddy's hands, work
daddy's hands, console daddy's hands, spank.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Why did somebody say we can't have a song called
daddy's hand.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
They saw signs this was the number one hand a
different time.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
It was eighteen eighty six.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Yeah, different time. I'm happy to talk eighties country anytime
you guys want, By the way.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
That's all. I'll talk eighties country with you. You know
you want to Sweethearts of the Rodeo.
Speaker 10 (24:14):
I mean like some deep tracks, right Yeahank Williams Junior.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Here we go. I want hear a little note. Well
do we come back? Oh all right, Gary Shannon will

You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
That was Gary trying to save the song.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
I will admit I wanted to pooh poo on your
attitude towards it at first, but then I listened to
it and I was like, Okay, yeah, see why it's
a little but that versus perfect.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
But the fact that that went to the top of
the charts number one Ladies and Gentlemen in nineteen eighty
six is.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Wild, sweet, angelic voice of Holly Done.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Holly Dunn has a sweet angelly voice.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
She's passed on.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Sure is the driven Snow, but I don't need to
hear about her daddy's hands for three and a half minutes.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Sea.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
That takes me right back to kindergarten.
Speaker 10 (25:12):
That song, I bet it does driving around in the
old Ford w AMZ Louisville.

You know, it's a thing in the Deep South.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
On Saturdays when you're watching SEC football is a thing,

Speaker 2 (27:17):
And maybe he got got wrapped up in Daddy's hand.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
You're right, I'll give that. Gary.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
It seems like you're a little jealous of Gavin Newsom's
baseball career. Yeah, but the facts of the facts, he's
a better baseball player than you.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Give it up, my brother.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
I would love people are trying to love to see
him at at fantasy camp.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
I would love to see he looks like he's in
good shape.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Oh, I'm not saying he's not. And he may be
a better baseball play I don't care. That's not how
I measure my Uh, that's not how I measure Mike.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Got Gary Hoffen to almost say.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
A bad word.
Speaker 4 (27:53):
That is not how I measure my worth is whether
or not someone's a better baseball player than me.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Yeah, he played in college.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Like I said, he played on the JV team in
college and probably did a whole lot better in high
school than I did at baseball. But that doesn't that's
not a it's not a put down to me. All right,
I almost said a bad word.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Yeah, and it was almost not just a bad word,
but it was like dirty. That's usually no, I don't
think so, okay, all right, when we come back, we'll
clean it up for the Canadians. I really want to
get to this poll. Those tolling numbers about the race
