Episode Transcript

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. Do you find it a hard
when you are in these weekends of these all these
performances to do the show, do this show. No, you're
not just done talking and acting and all the things,

(00:23):
because you put on such a show when you're here,
this is not even who you really are.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Someone did ask me about that last night as a
matter of Philly. Yeah, just said they. Somebody was asking
how long the show is? How long our show is,
and I said, well, it's four hours every day, and
she said, what do you talk about for four hours?
And I said, sometimes I don't know.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
It's me. That's a very good question.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
But that at the end of it, you know, there's
you and I enjoyed probably some quiet time as we're
driving home, right.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yeah, there's I. I as I get up there and age,
I find it harder to converse after this show. I
don't I have to press myself to, you know, make
calls to friends and family and all of that, and
to be talkative. It's just it's it's more of a challenge. Yeah,

(01:17):
do we lose words as we get older.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
I don't think it's you lose words. You just lose
patience with people.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Really, Oh yeah, that's awful.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
You don't want to make a bunch of phone call.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
You don't want to call the insurance company and be like, hey,
there was this thing that showed up on my bill,
or you don't want to talk about You don't want
to have to call the pharmacy and be like, okay, listen,
it's been a week. We're supposed to have this thing filled.
You just have zero patients at that.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
I don't think it's that you have fewer words. It's
that you don't want to have to use more words
to convince people that they're idiots.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
I think I read that about men somewhere. I think
it was in a book, but that men have a
set number of words in a day, in a day,
and once they're out, they're out. Maybe I don't know
if there's science behind that, but it'll get you thinking

(02:08):
curious as with all your acting, all of it, and kind.

Speaker 5 (02:12):
Of like your sort. I don't know if it's a
hobby for baseball. Have you ever done adaptation of Damn Yankees?

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Not a musical guy, I'm not. I do not. That
is zero appeal to me.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
I did choreograph Damn Yankees when I was in high
school for the for the theater.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Did they do musicals at your We never did, we
just had.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
It may have been a community I think it was
maybe a community thing. I don't think it was through
the high school. But I do like I do like
the musicals. I like the song and the dance. And
you sang beautifully in your production of what. I could
hear your voice clear as a bell, clear as day,
clear deck the halls. Yeah, and your voice was the

(03:01):
strongest and you were the most on key.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Also, none of what you just said is true at all.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Well, I recognize your voice, and it was very strong,
and it was very on key. It sounded very nice.
You have a nice singing voice.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Thank you. I have zero desire to sing in any capacity.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Well do you think Celine Dion had a desire to sing?

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (03:20):
No, Yeah, she needed to be hurt. She wanted to
choose her voice.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Okay, get trying for swamp watch.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheap. When I'm
not kissing babies, I'm stealing that lollipops.

Speaker 6 (03:36):
Yeah, we got.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
The real problem is that our leaders are done.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
The other side never quits.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
So what.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
I'm not going anywhere.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
So now you train the squat, I can imagine what
can be and be unburdened by what has been.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
You know, Americans have always been gun.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
But they're not stupid.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Have the people voted for you were not swamp watch
they're all counternolling.

Speaker 7 (04:02):
Well.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
The Senate last night took the first step to end
our government shutdown. A group of moderate Democrats, eight of them,
agreed to proceed without a guaranteed extension of healthcare subsidies.
There are a lot of people in the Democratic caucus
who said that Americans want them to continue to fight.
It appears that Democrats have caved now. This agreement that

(04:23):
they came up with passed on a procedural sort of
a practice vote sixty to forty. Would move toward a
compromise legislation to fund the government and then hold a
vote later, probably next month, on extending tax credits for
the Affordable Care Act that would otherwise expire on January first.

(04:44):
This is also no guarantee. Yes, they did get that
sixty to forty procedural vote last night. Yes they could
vote again today to get it out of the Senate.
But Democrats have a lot of games they can play
if they wanted to delay this process that's federally ordered.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Flight reductions are still scheduled by the way to ramp
up this week despite the Senate deal, which means if
you're flying this week, you may still run into major problems.
The FAA has not rescinded its emergency order mandating the
cuts as of right now, it has not indicated whether
it plans to do so. Secretary Sean Duffy had said

(05:25):
that they'll lift the order only when the safety data
implicates its appropriate. So they've got staffing shortages, still, unpaid
air traffic controllers. Trump has ordered them back to work,
has been threatening action. But that FAA order was for
that airlines reduce their daily domestic flights at forty major
airports by four percent. That's supposed to go up six

(05:47):
percent tomorrow, eight percent Thursday, and ten percent Friday. So
that plan is still.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
In motion, and I don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Let's assume they get this thing done in the fastest
manner they can, which would be it gets out of
the Senate today, the House comes in maybe late tomorrow,
goes to the President, so by Wednesday at the earliest,
by Wednesday they could have something done. Does that immediately
mean air traffic controllers get back to work or is
there a delay of another twenty four hours or forty

(06:16):
eight hours for them to receive their back pay that
they have not gotten since October first?

Speaker 1 (06:22):
So this could absolutely go into the Thanksgiving that weekend
before Thanksgiving, so we'll see. A cyber security breach was
discovered last week at the Congressional Budget Office, and now
they're saying today that this is ongoing, that this cyber
security breach at the CBO is threatening both incoming and

(06:43):
outgoing correspondence.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
I what kind of correspondence would be a library.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Of congress workers were told to restrict their communication. Okay,
do not click on any emails from the CBO. Is
the alert. Do not send any or share any sensitive
information with CBO colleagues over email teams or zoom. Congressional
staffer in regular communication with the CBO, because you know,

(07:16):
they like to cite it and let different figures in
legislation cost estimates things like that. So the CBO is
routinely involved with the negotiation and preparations for bills in
both the House and the Senate. So someone's digging into that.
What a fun guy you are at parties.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
The return of Michael Monks Monday.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
When we come back, we'll be talking about what's going
on with the ports of Long Beach. The Port of

An hour from now, we give you a shot to

joined us on a Monday A Michael Monks Monday and
win us do LA. The Port of Long Beach is
doing very well right now.

Speaker 6 (10:26):
Port of Long Beach and the Port of Los Angeles,
they had a very busy year, both of them. In fact,
Long Beach had more cargo come in this year than
any other year on record. And why is that important?
Because we've been living in this political year where tariffs
and global trade policy have been front and center in
the narrative of political and governmental discourse. President Trump loves tariffs,

(10:48):
and when he came back into office in January, we
knew that this was going to be a significant part
of his foreign policy and trade policy, and it has been.
But there were warnings early on that maybe our big
large ports, both of which are very important to the world,
could see declines in cargo traffic between ten and thirty

(11:09):
five percent, and that just hasn't happened. So what we
have seen month after month after month that both the
Port of Long Beach and the Port of Los Angeles
is nearly record highs every month. But now with the
new numbers coming out this month, for last month, October's
cargo traffic data at Long Beach at least Los Angeles
hasn't released yet. In Long Beach they saw almost a

(11:30):
fifteen percent drop in cargo compared to the previous year.
What it looks like is everything that was coming into
this country has come in as a way to get
around whatever tariffs that they could.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Ah, so the labuo booz are here.

Speaker 6 (11:48):
Maybe there could be may probably, yeah, maybe indeed indeed, yes,
I didn't know, you knew.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
French.

Speaker 6 (12:00):
Well done. But the Port of Long Beach warned in
their update, which was mostly celebratory, Okay, this was the
busiest October we've ever had. Ten million units came through
for the first time ever. It was very, very busy.
The CEO, Mario Cordero, who stepping down soon from the
Port of Long Beach, says we're anticipating a robust Black Friday,
but he does expect that consumers will be a little

(12:22):
more cautious with their spending because we are seeing rising prices,
we are seeing stagnated incomes. But he also says there
has been a drop in very specific items coming through,
even when there was record cargo coming in, a fifty
two percent drop year over year in sweatshirts, sweaters and coats,

(12:44):
global warming coming from overseas, primarily from China. And additionally,
there has been a decline by three point two percent
in refrigerators and other Christmas appliances. So if you're thinking
about this time of year taking advantage of some sales
in the kitchen, you can, but it could be either
more expensive, yeah, or the model you want might be gone. Secondarily,

(13:07):
he says there's been a two point three percent decline
in certain toys and games from China compared to this
time last year.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
We've got a stolen minivan in pursuit right now through
the valley. Oh.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
I would have said that was Michael, But Michaels sitting.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
In minivan, do you, Michael?

Speaker 6 (13:24):
No, I have a a company issued pathfinder. Oh, company
issued pathfinder. I didn't know we had company issued vehicles
any longer.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Company my heart, this company, this company.

Speaker 6 (13:37):
I don't know if you know this, but I'm kind
of the favorite.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Oh right, yeah, I'm kind of the favorite.

Speaker 7 (13:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
I was gonna say, how many vehicles do we have
in this fleet? One?

Speaker 6 (13:45):
All of the reporters had company issued vehicles because you
need four wheel drive to go up to mountains and
drive in certain terrains.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
And so I sold you I got it for when
I go out.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah, you didn't have a half burned jeep Cherokee like
we all had to drive twenty years ago.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Oh my god. Huh so death trap I rolled in.

Speaker 6 (14:03):
Now it's a beautiful, comfortable pathfinder, and I don't take
advantage of it, you know, and do a lot of
personal errands in it.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Oh, I did nothing but drove my vehicle for personal reasons.
I drove it more for personal reasons than I did
for professional reasons.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Don't tell me when I did drive it to Morongo.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
And my favorite thing was that news placa or you
could park anywhere, park in the red No, you.

Speaker 6 (14:22):
Know what, I used that just for the listeners. If
you're in the media, you have to go through the
city Department of Transportation to get a press pass, and
it will allow you to park in areas that you're
not supposed to park if you're on media business. If
you are not on media business and you get busted
using it, they can take it.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
You can create media business wherever you are.

Speaker 6 (14:41):
And I've never done that until last week. I had
a meeting here in Burbank and I drove to it foolishly.
I should have walked, and there was no good parking.
I parked in a residential permit zone.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
But the hell yeah you did.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
Now it was media business. It was a meeting.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
In your defense, the residential permit zones in this city
are asked.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
It's a lot.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
It's ridiculous figuring out when you can park there on
what day. It's stupid, and and none of Sometimes the
signs they contradict each other.

Speaker 6 (15:09):
They really do.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
They do miracle miles of disaster.

Speaker 6 (15:12):
I did feel a little dirty doing it, though.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Don't feel dirty. Everybody uses those in the wrong way,
not me.

Speaker 6 (15:20):
I'm a good boy.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
That's why I have the path find Listen, Pam's not
here this week. You don't have to lie.

Speaker 6 (15:26):
She raised a good boy.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
How is Pammy?

Speaker 3 (15:30):
She's good?

Speaker 6 (15:30):
They'll be back with my nanny, who I would love
for you to meet.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
I would love to meet she's.

Speaker 2 (15:35):
Turning ninety and she'll have her birthday here. Nanny, Nanny,
not like nanny like Beverly Hill's name. We weren't that
kind of money. I didn't think, so that's why it
surprised me.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
I would love to meet both women in your life.

Speaker 6 (15:48):
Yeah, they're going to come in and I'll probably haul
them down to Burbank for the up to Burbank.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Well, let us know when we'll get lunch and stuff.
We'll make it nice for them.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Cool. I have to do a full show.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
A full show of what. Oh you'd love to talk
to Nanny and Pammy. Oh, I love to talk to
Nanny at least an hour. Yeah, Yeah, she'll have a
lot to say about Now.

Speaker 6 (16:06):
You'll notice that their accents are very thick, whereas mine
was beaten out of me in broadcast school. But yeah,
they are very, very thick Kentucky accents. That's a good
accent to have.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
That's great, good stuff that I'll get you far in
LA Anyway.

Speaker 6 (16:19):
The point is, and you brought me in to talk
about news, and I love talking about news with you people.
Is that the ports are very healthy, but there is
a decline most recently. And be on the lookout for
holiday shopping whether everything that is on your list is
actually on the shelves.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Thank you, Michael, my pleasure. I have a hard time
with chases like this because if you're going to steal
a car, why are you stealing a minivan? Find a Lotus,
find an as. I'm sure it's la I know, but
come on, Jack of Valet lot and let's make a
day out.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
There's a quick, little uh move that almost lost control there.
Four or five South is where it's headed, right through
the mar Vista area.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
We'll pick this thing.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Up on the Apparently there's no traffic on that four
or five South miraculously right now, news to me wild.

Speaker 7 (17:07):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
A bunch of stuff going on.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
There is a car chase that's going on continues right now.
They were four or five north and I don't know
if they've changed directions, but they were headed up through
the Inglewood area. They'd gone past Lax Still looks like
they are headed northbound right there through Inglewood, So stolen

(17:36):
looks like a Toyota Siena something like that minivan making
its way doing pretty good time. You know, every once
in a while hit close to seventy five eighty miles
an hour, which seems normal for that stretch road with
no traffic, But there have been a few places where
they got trafficked. So on the other side of the
road looks shut down.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
What would you steal? What car would you still if
you were to lead police on a chase, you had
your pick of the valley.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Just any of them, Like, it looks like they're gonna
try to throw a spike strip across the median, but
you're gonna make sure you don't get the other uh,
all of the other.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Problems, because now they've shut down the other direction of
the four oh five for this jackass. It's gonna ruin
everyone's day.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Something with quick acceleration, I don't need top speed because
I mean you're gonna be in.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
I mean, you know, a Sonata will give you some
pretty quick acceleration. You gotta go for style points, so too,
don't you. Fisker, I'm sorry, Fisker, A Fisker. Yeah, what
is that? It's an electric car.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
I would imagine it probably has some pretty good pickup
something like that.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
We color like a metallic blue chrome chrome.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
Yeah, it shiny chrome. I mean I'm already It's not
like I'm gonna blend in and I could get a
white tesla. That there's a million of those things out there.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (19:06):
That.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
We've seen a number of times the white vehicles blend
in and that's your best chance of the dating. We've
seen a couple of white cars get away with it
because there were so many of the other one. It
was like a movie. Yeah, you know, so maybe you
don't want to go too exotic. Maybe I'm screwed up

(19:27):
on my whole plot to evade the police.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
Yeah, I'm telling you.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
I think I'm like, get a lotus. Clearly I'm pretty
easy to track now.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
I want bright green lotus the Batmobile. Walking at least
ten to fifteen minutes at a time might do for
more for your health and longevity than spreading out your
steps into shorter walks throughout the day.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
There's a level.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
So you're trying to advocate against walking around here during
our commercials.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Never do that.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
No, But I would also say mix in a longer walk.
Fifteen minutes, that's not even a long walk.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
That's a it's not around the block after dinner, which
I advocate for all the time. How many times have
I done it? Never? It's good for you, I know.
I keep telling myself that it sounds really good at
eleven forty am, Like I'm going to take a walk out.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
I know what I shall do after You're going to walk.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Up the hill and uh, and then I never do it.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
What length of walk do you prefer?

Speaker 5 (20:31):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (20:31):
My god, you probably shouldn't do that. So what are
rehearsals like for the show after you've done the opening weekend?
Do you rehearse it all during this week? Or it's done?
What's done?

Speaker 3 (20:50):
Our director?

Speaker 1 (20:50):
When people get rusty, it's like when the Dodgers took
that week off, you know, and then the Bats were rusty.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
I our director, James had come to us after each
of the performances the next night, like Friday, on Saturday afternoon,
he had notes from the previous night and make sure
you do this, don't do that, speak up here, keep
it quiet there.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Did you get any notes?

Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yeah? Really, but you have to say it like that.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
What notes did he have for you? Oh?

Speaker 3 (21:19):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
I appreciate your defending of me, but there were things
that I did that needed to be improved upon. So
what you saw on Saturday was me improving upon what
had happened on Friday. There were a couple of things
you didn't see Friday night. The table fell over with
the ashtray broke it, so and I that last scene,

(21:41):
I'm not wearing shoes, so.

Speaker 3 (21:45):
I had to kind of hip hip.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
And scop yeah, yeah, over the broken glass when I
came back out.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Oh wow, Yeah, I didn't notice that you were not
wearing shoes until we saw you and the lobby after,
and your toes were poking through your socks.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
I thought I should probably put the slippers back on
when I come out and say hello.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Probably it's weird to have your naked toes out there
in front a strangers.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Okay, but hey, you know, I figured i'd showed them
to you and everybody else at News and Bruise in Huntington.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
No, but I felt like you showed the audience enough
of you, You gave them enough of you to just
give them your naked toes after It's just gratuitous at
that point.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
I but we do have a rehearsal on Thursday.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Okay, Yeah, just a little run through it, spice it up,
spush it up a little bit, you know, to throw
in anything, a little racy, a little crazy at the end. No,
go out with a bang.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
No, I don't. I don't like doing that. I shouldn't
say that. Last year we did a show and I
had to come up with a I had to come
up with an insult to throw at a teenage worker
that I had. Oh, and I called him a moon
faced man baby at one point, just because we're making things.
So every night it was a different Oh that's song

(23:03):
that I found him.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
But I like to I like to do too much
of that, Yeah, because.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
I think it's disrespectful. Yes, it's a funny, it's a
jokey thing. But if my whole point is just to
try to get the other people to break, I can
do that, and I don't like. Yeah, comfortable in my ability.
If I wanted to, sure, I could blow that apart.

Speaker 7 (23:26):
Sure.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
So I don't want sure. Yeah, there was I loved
the the dialogue from nineteen forty seven. You know, there
are some things in there that I think we should
bring back, some turns of phrases like cease fire. I
love that, but but yeah, that was part of it.

(23:48):
I loved. I love a throwback, you know, especially.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
The great costumes.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Great costumes the female lead. Her hair was perfect, she
was great.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
What's funny is they were talking originally about putting a
wig on her and I was like, why hair.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Her hair was perfect. I thought it was a wig
at one point because I'm like, no, that's her hair.
But the way this style, it was just perfectly styled.
And there was like three different styles that went on there.
So anyway, yeah, she gets a lot of work done.
There's a lot of backstage, pit crew stuff going on. Yeah,
some of those changes.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
Tickets are still available for this weekend as well, Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday. If you follow us on Instagram at Gary
and Shannon, you'll see the post there linked to the
ticket website is on the is in the bio.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
You can also I guess you could pay cash at
the door if you had to.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
I got my tickets in advance because I started freaking
out that morning, like what if.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
You they added I did add three or forty seats
when you were there. Yeah, I mean not for you,
but they added seats for I'm just saying that there
were more people than than they expected.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
So there's a lot of weight jokes in that play.
You probably felt right at home.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
Well, I have to make a joke about the guy's weight,
and I did not feel comfortable about that. When he says,
nice smoking jacket, and I go, yeah, we're about the
same size. You handled it very well, and I really
did eat the baloney sandwich.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
I know that people think that a lot.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
I saw you devour that role too.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
I never can get through an entire role, no, but
you did a good job of trying.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
I tried cocking that that bread in there like a squirrel.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
The stew was really good too.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
A lot of eating on that show there didn't need
to be. But you you see, you see food and
you go after.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
It, reach over and I said, you have to make it.
You're going to finish that.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
It's okay. You're a child of the depression. Well in
the show you were. I was.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
No, I wouldn't have been. I would have been, well,
I would have been I would have lived through the depression.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Point.

Speaker 2 (25:59):
Yes, yes, child, Oh, I got to tell you the
secret about that when we come back.

Speaker 7 (26:04):
Yes, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KF I am six forty.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
How did it get to be close to noon? What's happening?

Speaker 5 (26:16):
That is?

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Michael Monks came in here and then it was like
Twilight Zone and.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
I don't know, time folded in on itself.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
It blew my mind with the with the insight into
your play that you're doing right now.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Oh, the one little it's a couple of little easter
eggs in there that you could figure out.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
Nobody has come up with that yet.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
I wonder if was there any thought to anybody coming
out after and say so?

Speaker 2 (26:42):
My wife actually said because I talked to her about
it beforehand, and she said that she thought there was another,
like another payoff, that there would be something.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Else that was yeah, like it ends.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
It's perfectly acceptable the way it ends, and it's nothing
wrong with yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
But a payoff around your care. I think that's why
I was saying, I wanted more. I wanted more information
about that character and what happens to him and what
happened to him and how he find himself there.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
And all like this a movie.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
I wanted an origin story.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
Always just went on to become a.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Or where he can't you know, that's a whole nother act. Yeah,
that's what happened on Fourth Avenue. Good morning, Gary and Shannon.

Speaker 4 (27:20):
I had you in my ear listening to you through
the APP a little while ago, but I couldn't do
this talk back right away. I was in public. But
I was just so touched listening to Shannon talk about
your performance scary it was.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
It was touching.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
It was really sweet the way she was complimenting you.
And I'm sure it's well deserved, but just to hear
how much she was gushing over your talent and how
entertained she was was just so genuine and sweet.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Well it's not let's not go crazy. I wasn't complimenting him.
I was just as an as an observer. Just take it.
That is what I observed. It was just a matter
of fact review.

Speaker 5 (28:00):
Hey, fos the seventh You know, I just left up
on the IMDb page the movie that happened on Fifth Avenue.
The two main character guys are Jim and Michael, and
I'm wondering, Gary, were you either one of them? And
if so, who were you? And I also noticed that
Alan Hale, famously the shipper on Gilligan's Island, was in

(28:20):
that movie. And I do not think he's I've ever
seen him in another production of anything, but he's done
two hundred and thirty.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Well, I mean it's like Oberon and Titania, where the
stars of the Midsummer Night's Stream, but it was really
Puck and you're the Puck here.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
That's a wow. That is a brilliant, actually great way
to put it. Charles Ruggles was O'Connor, Don Defour was
Jim Bullock, Victor Moore was Aloysius McKeever in the movie,
and Alan Hale actually played Whitey in the movie. Whitey
doesn't actually appear as a character in our show. I mean,

(28:58):
you can't put everybody in there.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
There was enough white in that room.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
No, that's different.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Oh sorry, Margie refers to her husband Whitey, who's still
away at war or is still deployed.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
I should say to your wife as we're walking out,
everyone around here looks so familiar. She's like, that's because
we all look alike. I was like, you're right, we do.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
By the way, tonight Eagles Packers on Monday Night football.
The thing is you, if you have YouTube TV, you
do not have this game.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
They still are at an impass.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Google, the owner of YouTube is still at an impass
with Disney, the owner of ESPN, et cetera, because the
Disney people want to charge Google a lot of money
or more money, I should say, to carry their products
and channels. And at this point they have not worked
it out, so we'll see exactly where to where it

(29:53):
ends up if they get a deal between now and say,
I don't know, five point fifteen kickoff.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
All right, coming up next, we'll get you all caught
up on everything everyone's talking about. We'll talk trending, also
what's going on in the wild world of football, and
we got Motivational Monday, really something for everyone. And Deborah's
got to look at that car chase coming up too.
It's all right around the corner right here on Gary
and Shannon.
