Gary & Shannon kick off a soggy Monday celebrating the brief break in SoCal’s downpour before bracing for more rain ahead. Gary shares his two-hour battle with a clogged drain, while Shannon highlights how parts of Long Beach literally turned into canals. Then, they dig into President Trump’s surprising call to release the Epstein files — and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s continued turn on him.
They also cover Reverend Jesse Jackson’s recovery, the FAA lifting flight restrictions just in time for Thanksgiving, and a lawsuit over “fake” window seats. They wrap with a debate on why Americans have stopped moving cross-country and Jeff Dye’s move to Texas after saying “so long” to California.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
I AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Cono came in here, handles
board op and said the sun. And I said, what
what is he talking about? Who is if we were
talking about the Christmas tree in here and the birth
of Christ? So I thought he was kind of going
(00:23):
off that rest son. Yeah, like the Son of God
kind of thing. And I'm like, what are you talking about?
And he says, the sun. You know it's come out.
I thought it was never I thought it was gone.
I said, Cono, it rained for three days. What do
you mean you thought the sun was gone? It was
never going to come back. I mean, he's got kids
(00:44):
that he takes care of, that that he's shaping and
guiding in this world, and that worries me.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
That the kids are going to believe that there was
tenuous whether or not the sun.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Can you imagine like you're growing up and your mom
says to you, after two days of rain, I don't
know if it's ever gonna come back.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
The problem was hit up.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
The problem with that much rain that quickly after not
having had rain for a long time, you find your
weak spots. And a lot of people probably found leaking
a roof the door. You know, water's coming in under
the garage door, something like that.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Mine was a drain in the yard.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
There's a little French drain so that the little plantar
area doesn't get flooded and the water is supposed to
you know, go out to the front of the house and.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
No, not working.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Not full of absolute detritus and roots and sand and dirt.
So when I got up Saturday morning, I realized I'm
gonna have to be out there. I got to snake
that drain as best I can.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
You've been in that house for years, you don't know
about this drain.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well, it had been a problem before.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
So you should have been proactive and snaked it and
cleaned it out before you knew the rain was coming.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Well, we did have some work in the backyard and
that area actually got replanted.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
So my assumption was the guys that did.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
That would go, hey, while we're out here, let's take
a look at this French drain and make sure that
it's working.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Why.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I have no idea. I don't know what makes a
French a drain.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Well, the French train is usually the drain that's like
at the bottom and it comes with a square plastic
cap that covers the pipe itself.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
This one is actually round. I don't know if it's
a different name whatever.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
But it's supposed to prevent like we happen to have
bark in that planter, it's supposed to prevent bark from
going down in the drain.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
It didn't.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
At some point somebody had taken the thing off, and
there's bark and sand or all that suf mess. I
was out there for about two hours in the pouring rain,
pouring rain.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
With my feet are all wet.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I'm just I'm trying to I wore a jacket that
was relatively weather proof and I had an umbrella, but
when I walked back in, I was just, I mean,
just drenched to the bar. And again, listen, I'm not
complaining it was around my house. It's not I don't
have to work outside. It's not that kind of a complaint.
But it was just a I should have thought about
this beforehand.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Man, it was a mess. Downtown La.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
As of this morning, Downtown La got two point eight
inches of rain over the course of the last few days.
The wettest November, Full November, the wettest November they've had
in years. Other places in the San Gabriel Valley got
four inches five inches. A few places got six inches
up in the mountains over the course the last three days.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
From a guy in Jacksonville who flew in for the
game yesterday that there were people in canoes in Long Beach,
on the streets of Long Beach getting around. That's great.
And Jacksonville was what eighty It was beautiful. It was
I mean it was Jacksonville, but it was still a
seventy seven sunny, slight breeze. That was the best thing
(03:54):
about the weekend was the weather.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
A huge tank it. Everybody showed up at lucid Or
bri Company out in Chino Hills. We had an absolutely
great time, despite the fact that we missed you. There
was a cardboard cutout that people were taking pictures with.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I did try to auction it off.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
There was a gentleman who said he would prefer to
have that to take it.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Home with him, but you didn't give it to him.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Well for licensing purposes, I don't think it was appropriate.
I don't know what he was going to do with it.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Well, it's only like three feet tall. It's like a midget.
It's like, oh, oh, if I was a midget, that's awful. Anything.
We have a blow up your face blown up in
our office and it's terrifying and it's been there for
about twenty years.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
No, that was that was if I'm not mistaken, that
was the COVID baseball thing.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
That's what it was.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yes, my sister actually had tickets for Oracle Park and
they offered if you've got so many tickets. It was
for her company. She's like, well, would you want your
face at Oracle Park to watch the Giants game? Since
they're not actually allowing humans. This all trigger and I know,
and I was like, gosh, that sounds like a good idea.
And it took a dumb picture of myself and they
(05:06):
put it up at the park and it sat there
for months while nobody was there. Yeah, and then good
on them. They actually individually sent all of them back
to the people who had taken pictures.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Anyway, and we have it, Yeah, we do.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
It.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Just stares at us in the office. Now we've got
another one.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
And a big thank you Elmer. By the way, Elmer
came out to the show on Friday night.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, I did it go the last weekend. It was great.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
It was I last night was exhausted, I bet at
the end of it because the doing news and brus
and then doing the show Saturday or Friday. Tried to
tried to rest, just be calm on Saturday and then
had to go do that stuff outside and then turn
around and run back to the to the show. Had
(05:56):
a bunch of friends that came on Saturday night also,
so that was fun. And then last night there were
people who came back for a second time to see
the show. Listeners who had heard about the show. Jamie
out and Pomona came back and brought some friends. There
were other people that had gone Saturday, they came back
on Sunday, and in fact, a woman came all the
way from Phoenix yesterday, thank God, to drive up there
(06:19):
and watch the show.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
That is awesome. It was a great show. I think
everybody you know you didn't regret seeing that one. That
was a good afternoon or evening. Yeah. It was fun.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
Yeah, Gary, your character was so funny and like your
intro monologue just like uh like it was. It was
interesting to see like this like fun thespian side of you,
and like the whole crowd was laughing. It was like
such an experience and it was like, uh, you felt
so comfortable up there, Like it was so cool to
(06:51):
like show Diane that, you know, like I worked with you,
and it was like, oh no, this is Gary, you know,
and it was such an amazing like moment.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
And Elmer.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Elmer is the only person that brought me flowers.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
That is so sweet. I would just like to say,
in my defense, you did not like it when I
brought you flowers before. You did it to embarrass me. Okay,
well see I do it to embarrass you. But it's
sweet from Elmer. Damn Skiopie. I don't know what to
do without. I can't win with you. I can't win
with you. I bring flowers, I get in trouble. I
don't bring flowers. I get in trouble. I'm sure you
(07:24):
appreciate it. That's sweet. I like that the thespian side
of you. Yes, that was weird.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Forty Thanksgiving right around the corner. Did you see that turkeys?
The cost of a turkey is up forty percent. I mean,
it's not shocking, and I was I was talking about
it last week about how they're going to have to
do something about the grocery prices going into midterms, and
it looks like Trump is doing just that, the administration
kind of reconfiguring the tariff situation to reflect better prices
(07:59):
at the grocery store. We'll get into that coming up.
During swamp launch at eleven o'clock home exploded in Chino
Hills yesterday. Eight people, they said were injured. Temporary evacuations,
and that the Post News and Bruis bender that went out.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Of control possibly the forty two hundred block a Sierra
Vista Drive.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
One home basically collapsed.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Some others did suffer minor damage, and they said that
some of the people, including kids, that were hurt, were
actually inside the home when it went up.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
FAA says all flight restrictions are off, at least the
FAA imposed flight restrictions. There are still some weather issues,
of course, because we're getting into the getting into fall.
Late fall, early winter of course is usually when we
see some problems. But at least the FAA restrictions on
commercial flights are lifted. As we get closer to what
(08:50):
we'll be a busy week next week.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
For you were busy over the weekend with your Thespian
activities and such. I did not pay attention to this
very much, and so I'm curious about the timing or
if you know what the timing of this is all about.
President Trump yesterday urging House Republicans to back a measure
that would compel the Justice Department to release the Epstein files.
(09:15):
One obvious question is can't he compel the Justice Department.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
I assume so, but I don't know. I've never understood.
I shouldn't say never.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I don't think I've understood the last couple of kind
of flips that he's done on the issue of the
Epstein files.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I don't think there's anything in there that damages him specifically,
or damages him more than it would damage other people
that we already know had connections with Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I feel like it's piling on at this point and
just creating more of a do where there needs to
be none. I mean, Trump ran on in part releasing
these files. This was a big tenant of his campaign.
Let's expose the Democratic elites that were running around with
(10:11):
Jeffrey Epstein, let's expose everybody, and people bought that hook
line and sinker Pam Bondy. As soon as she took
control of the Justice Department, she came out with her binders,
I'm going to release all this. Then nothing, and then
they came out and they said there's nothing there. Well,
that seemed curious, and so now Trump says that he
(10:32):
wants the House to release these files after coming out
and saying, Eh, let's get rid of this vote. I
don't understand the timing.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Well, I think this latest flip is something along the
lines of you want to be on the side of
something that's going to happen anyway, this is pretty clear
that the House is definitely going to vote to compel
the Justice Department to release the files, and this may
be him sort of taking that last best position, which is, yeah,
(11:04):
I wanted this the whole time. He mentioned it on
Friday night to reporters that he wants Republicans in the
House to vote in order to release the Epstein files,
despite the fact that he has long said that this
is a democratic hoax. If this is a democratic hoax,
or if he's suggesting that Democrats are the ones that
(11:24):
are feeding the fire, that there's some salacious information in
these files that the Justice Department still has. That doesn't
make sense because Democrats have been in power if you
look back from the second Obama term to Joe Biden's term,
eight of the last twelve years, they've had the ability
(11:44):
to release these files and have not done so.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
So I don't it doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
It also has caused this rift between he and Marjorie
Taylor Green.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
This is one of the weirdest fights.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
That has come out as a results of There's other
things that play into that, but specifically, he has gone
after Marjorie Taylor Green and suggested that nobody cares about her,
which I thought was kind of funny.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
He used to be her best friend.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Marjorie Trader Grin.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
I don't think her life is in danger.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
I don't think Frankly, I don't think anybody cares about her.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
And only she was one of the ones saying release
the files.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Right.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
She has been on that dying on that hill, and
he doesn't like the fact that this hasn't gone away,
and it's because of people like her that it hasn't
gone away.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
So she was on CNN, and I'm telling you, this
is a weird look for her. She's one of the
fire brands, or had been one of the fire brands
when it comes to MAGA, when it comes to far
right Republicans who called for used violent rhetoric, she admits it.
And now she's taking this moment where she says, gosh,
(12:53):
I don't think I should have said that stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
This was her from CNN yesterday.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
We have seen these kinds of attacks or criticism from
the President at other people. It's not new, and with respect,
I haven't heard you speak out about it until it
was directed at you, Dana.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
I think that's fair criticism, and I would like to say, humbly,
I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics. It's
very bad for our country, and it's been something I've
thought about a lot, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated,
is that we I'm only responsible for myself and my
(13:34):
own words and actions, and I am going I am committed,
and I've been working on this a lot lately to
put down the knives and politics.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
But apparently that attitude is traitorous well to Trump, Yes.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Well, no, no, I think that was her pulling a
one eighty away from what she was doing. I think
once she realized that Trump was going to take out
his knives against her, she backtracked. And that was her
backtracking because what she fell prey to was there's this
corner of the internet and it's alt right right, and
I fell into the algorithm looking at a conspiracy ones
on Twitter and was exposed to this community pretty well.
(14:12):
And they are they are people who voted for Trump.
They want the Epstein fowls release, and they are so
pissed off that this has not happened, and they're mad
at Trump. You ran on this, We were going to
expose all these rich people that did all this child
sex stuff and what the hell? This is why we
elected you. And it's a strong community, and it is
(14:35):
it is easy to be sucked in. And she was
sucked into that community, that alt right community, and she
was like there, you know, their megaphone. And then when
she realized that doing that was running a foul of
what Trump wanted, she was like, oh wait a minute, here,
I'm out here blowing in the wind. I don't want
to align Yeah a place right right, So that's her
(14:55):
going on CNN and saying, you know what, I'm gonna
put my knives down on this bat for the country
I'll do. I'll toe the line.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Do you think she means it?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yeah, she has to mean it for her political future,
doesn't she. I mean as strong as the alt right
Epstein take them down. The release of File's community is
they're not the Trump machine. That's the all powerful one.
All right.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Up next, the FAA is pulling back. It looks like
we're getting something back to normal when it comes to
flight reductions.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Not quite done with our rain.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
We will expect to see a storm rolling in today
and then another one probably later tomorrow, nowhere near as
powerful as what we saw Friday night into Saturday morning.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
This is that atmospheric river you spoke of last week,
where we have the rain and then a little bit
more and then another wave, not a big wave, but
like a river wave of rain. You know what it's
called weather, It's called November. Yeah, there's all sub asses.
People did lose their minds. Elma and I were talking
about driving and people. I'm comfortable driving and rain. I
(16:11):
may not be the best driver, but I'm comfortable driving
in rain. There are people who are clearly bad drivers
and uncomfortable driving and rain. And either they're going real
slow because they're terrified and they don't want to hit
you know, pockets of water whatever, or they're just balls
to the wall.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
They don't give a crap.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
It's doesn't matter if it's you know, pouring rain or
sunny in seventy four, they're going to be doing eighty
on the one seventy or something like that.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I remember when my mom was teaching me how to
drive and we were in here, you know, nineteen ninety
four Saturn and it was the biggest day loge and
we're on the one oh one there in Nevado and
and I'm like, I can't do that. I'm just learning.
She's like, Nope, you're going to do it. You're gonna drive,
and you're gonna cause you're gonna be on your own
one day and you're going to do it. It will
(17:01):
rain in it, and it was probably the worst downpour
still to this day that I remember driving in It
was like that one. And we got in Philly, remember
but just remember, like, what the heck? But after that,
it's like, yeah, nothing's really that bad, nothing compared to that.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
There was an update I saw this morning for the
Reverend Jesse Jackson, still in the hospital, and there's kind
of a conflicting and maybe just a semantic error or
a semantic difference. Maybe A statement that was really released
late Saturday by his family said that Jesse Jackson is
breathing on his own, is not being assisted by machines,
(17:40):
and therefore not on life support. But someone else said
that he had been receiving medication to raise his blood pressure,
which is I guess technically qualifies as a form of
life support. But he has improved, they said, over the
last twenty four to forty eight hours or so, he's
been able to maintain a stable blood pressure without the
(18:01):
assistance of medication.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Flight reductions of forty airports mandated by the FAA are
coming to an end today right now as we speak.
According to the Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. These began, of course,
when the shutdown was in effect. Air traffic controllers weren't
getting paid, they weren't coming to work, so they had
to reduce air traffic capacity for your controllers to monitor
(18:23):
things in the skies. They wanted to do this for
safety measures, so air traffic capacity was reduced by at
least four percent in some of the nation's busiest airports.
That's why you saw delays or missed flights and things
like that. The worry was that this would not be
put back into motion for Thanksgiving. Now there will be
the ripple effect that we've talked about. There will be
(18:45):
more flight disruptions because of the original disruptions, but they
will be dissipating and things should just be as crazy
as usual for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, just a normal crazy for Thanksgivings. As a I guess,
a clear indicator how different things are today than they
were last week. There are only, as of right now,
forty six cancelations for flights in the United States this time.
Back on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, for example, there were well
(19:16):
over one thousand cancelations. So that is good and again
all good going into what will be a very busy
week next week for Thanksgiving travel. There was also a story.
When you book a window seat on a plane, you
expect to get a window seat on a plane, but
(19:38):
there are some airlines that had been bumping people from
those window seats. There's a class action lawsuit against Delta
Airlines in United Airlines filed by passengers who said they
paid extra money to sit in those window seats, only
to be sitting next to seats without an actual window.
They were in the window seat, but the window didn't
(19:59):
actually line up with their seat, so they were looking
at a blank wall. United has asked a federal judge
to dismiss this. So the airline argues that window seat
doesn't actually mean window seat, It just means seat farthest
away from the eye.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
And that's perfectly fine. But if you pay specifically for
a window seat and you don't get one, then you
should at least get your money back.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
And here's the question I have is how many people
is this really? I know it's a class action, So
there's a couple of days.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
If I paid extra for a window seat, that's if
that's if it's that important to me, then I'm gonna
make I'm at least gonna say something about it.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Well, and wouldn't it wouldn't the pr be better for
United and Delta to just go, you know what, here's
your one hundred and nine dollars back, or here's one
hundred and nine dollars credit for to use in a
future trip, something that rather than allow it to get
to a class action lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
They do all right? Coming up, and next, Gavin Newsome
apparently has lost another fan.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
This kind of opened up a question in my mind
of why don't people move more? Eighty years ago, fifty
years ago, if you didn't like where you lived, you moved,
and it was very common. One hundred years ago, people
moved all the time.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Why people people are having a hard time putting hard
pants on to go to the grocery store. The idea
of moving is something that takes initiative beyond what we
have programmed ourselves to do. Well, then we don't have
to do this segment. You just nailed it. Oh, I'm sorry.
We'll expand on it when we come back.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Coming up. There was some good news I came across
this morning an article in Time magazine, the health section
that boasted this the best years of your life probably
still ahead. I like that they threw it. Probably they're like,
maybe could be for all of us well, you'll have
to wait and listen to the show and find out
(22:08):
slog through this just to get something through this. No, No,
that's not what I meant what you said. Oh you
heard that I was out loud. I heard it, I am,
but I have not filter. It's gone away, Gary. Yes,
I grew up a Thousand Oaks man.
Speaker 7 (22:24):
I remember back in nineteen seventy seven, believe it was,
and mister Tadlock, our Civics teacher for our driver's training,
first day ever behind the wheel, he took us out
and we went on the one on one freeway from
Thousand Oaks to camery Own back in the rain.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I was terrified. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
One of the requirements now at least the drivers said
that My kids went through, uh through that's through the
school is you had to have an actual driver's head
teacher for two less or whatever the requirement is. And
the guy shows up and beat up a Camri and
immediately drives on the freeway, immediately makes our kids go
(23:06):
out on I five.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Yeah, on I five like I would have never done that.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
You take them through the deserted like business park, and
you learn to park, and you learn to turn and
signal all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
No, No, the first thing.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Within thirty seconds, they're at seventy five miles an hour
on the freeway.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Wow. A little terrifying and very different than what we
did as kids.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
For they come for.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
The first lesson, for the first lesson, it's insane. Well,
usually parents do the whole take them out to the
parking lot thing.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
And I had done that.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yeah, I think every parent has done that before you
get to the driver's ed stage, right, I hope so.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Gary, come on.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
The reason it's called a French drain a French drain
because it doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
No, it's actually named after a guy. And I didn't
know this. I had to look it up.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Is it Louis French?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Henry flag French out of Concord, Massachusetts.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
What did he do?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
He was a lawyer, US assistant US Treasury secretary. Actually
he described them in a book I guess back in.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Eighteen fifty nine.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
So who was French's mustard named after?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Mister French? Probably not the same guy, But.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
I mean that's something to look into, isn't it. That's
an American question.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Robert and George French.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Oh, I bet they're from the Midwest. Tell me more
about them.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Fairport, New York. Really that's where they're originally from.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
They did remove or relocate to Rochester.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Now they came up with the mustard recipe. Huh. Your
brothers banging around in the garage mixing chemicals? Is that right?
And I nail it? Are you just making that up?
You're disagreeing with the just that's exactly what they did.
Throw a little vinegar in here, condiments, pickles, flours? Did
they were they anti mayo guys? They were communists. They
(25:06):
were not communists. They were not COMMUNI you're just upset
because you're defending mayonnaise. I know what's going on over there.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Comedian Jeff Dye as the latest person to say a
politician is causing him to move, in this case based
here in California. Southern California specifically went on Joe Rogan
to say that he's buying a house in Texas because
he's concerned about the direction that California is taking. There
are a couple of things about this. Number One, Gavin
Newsom's been governor for six years now, so I don't
(25:36):
know why this is all of and his days are numbered.
That's not to say that there's going to be a
giant shift politically back to the more conservative politics of California.
But he said, I'm in this kind of la thing.
I could be guilty of being a victim of what
I'm absorbing in my algorithm, but Gavin Newsom scares the
s out of me, and I don't want to be
(25:57):
a part of it. So he said the fire specifically
earlier this year, were a wake up call. And he said,
whatever you believe about the fires, the way they dealt
with it was pretty scary. I'm I'm surprised that in
and of itself is the thing that would make him
express or make come to this decision that he wanted
to move. We've heard about people who say they want
(26:18):
to move because of insert name of politician here, and
it's always an eye rolling thing. Well, that must be nice,
That must be nice to have the ability and the
finances to pick up and go buy another home in
some other state and just live out your existence. But
not everybody has that ability.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
To do well.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
It's kind of like the thing that goes on in
Florida with hurricanes, right. Sometimes people just had enough. Sometimes
people have had enough of these wildfires and they are
all the scientists have told us, they're just going to
get bigger and more destructive. It's just the way that
the world is working, and so when you're done with it,
you're done with it. I don't know if it's indicative
of I don't think anyone could have prevented these fires
(26:59):
from happening. It's not like a California centric like, Oh,
they really screwed it up, and could they have responded better? Yes.
Could there have been less bureaucracy, yes, but you're going
to find that everywhere you go. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
There was also a Gallup survey that showed two in
five American women, specifically women and girls between the ages
of fifteen and forty four, two in five said they
would leave the United States permanently if they could. That's
four times higher than what it was about ten years ago.
(27:31):
So right now they say twenty percent of young girls
and women so they would leave the United States.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
That's because men are holed up in their dungeons, watching
porn and playing a call of duty to become a
real American hero. It's my fault. I was listening to
a radio show this morning and they had this stat
sixty three percent of men aged. I may be messing
(27:57):
this up, but it was like eighteen to third are
not pursuing a relationship? Yeah, sixty three percent. Yep, I
beat the odds.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
We did yes.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Last week we did a whole series of different versions
of AI chatbots and the relationships, emotional relationships that people
are in with. They're easy, not inanimate objects, and there
are now the The twist on it now is that
people are claiming to be pregnant with.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
And having children with.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
One chapter and they start trying to adopt. That's going
to be a fun court case, isn't it when people
start trying to adopt children with their bot.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Because remember there was one of the women that we see.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
When they want their bought to have parental rights because
you know, you want to adopt a child on your own,
you can do that, but when you start getting into
crazy town with putting your bot on the birth certificates
and things.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Or in the will and trust. If something happens to me,
custody goes to.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
The show Let's go who invented? Catchup? I have the
answer when we come back to Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
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 app
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
I AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Cono came in here, handles
board op and said the sun. And I said, what
what is he talking about? Who is if we were
talking about the Christmas tree in here and the birth
of Christ? So I thought he was kind of going
(00:23):
off that rest son. Yeah, like the Son of God
kind of thing. And I'm like, what are you talking about?
And he says, the sun. You know it's come out.
I thought it was never I thought it was gone.
I said, Cono, it rained for three days. What do
you mean you thought the sun was gone? It was
never going to come back. I mean, he's got kids
(00:44):
that he takes care of, that that he's shaping and
guiding in this world, and that worries me.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
That the kids are going to believe that there was
tenuous whether or not the sun.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Can you imagine like you're growing up and your mom
says to you, after two days of rain, I don't
know if it's ever gonna come back.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
The problem was hit up.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
The problem with that much rain that quickly after not
having had rain for a long time, you find your
weak spots. And a lot of people probably found leaking
a roof the door. You know, water's coming in under
the garage door, something like that.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Mine was a drain in the yard.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
There's a little French drain so that the little plantar
area doesn't get flooded and the water is supposed to
you know, go out to the front of the house and.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
No, not working.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Not full of absolute detritus and roots and sand and dirt.
So when I got up Saturday morning, I realized I'm
gonna have to be out there. I got to snake
that drain as best I can.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
You've been in that house for years, you don't know
about this drain.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well, it had been a problem before.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
So you should have been proactive and snaked it and
cleaned it out before you knew the rain was coming.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Well, we did have some work in the backyard and
that area actually got replanted.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
So my assumption was the guys that did.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
That would go, hey, while we're out here, let's take
a look at this French drain and make sure that
it's working.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Why.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I have no idea. I don't know what makes a
French a drain.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
Well, the French train is usually the drain that's like
at the bottom and it comes with a square plastic
cap that covers the pipe itself.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
This one is actually round. I don't know if it's
a different name whatever.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
But it's supposed to prevent like we happen to have
bark in that planter, it's supposed to prevent bark from
going down in the drain.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
It didn't.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
At some point somebody had taken the thing off, and
there's bark and sand or all that suf mess. I
was out there for about two hours in the pouring rain,
pouring rain.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
With my feet are all wet.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I'm just I'm trying to I wore a jacket that
was relatively weather proof and I had an umbrella, but
when I walked back in, I was just, I mean,
just drenched to the bar. And again, listen, I'm not
complaining it was around my house. It's not I don't
have to work outside. It's not that kind of a complaint.
But it was just a I should have thought about
this beforehand.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Man, it was a mess. Downtown La.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
As of this morning, Downtown La got two point eight
inches of rain over the course of the last few days.
The wettest November, Full November, the wettest November they've had
in years. Other places in the San Gabriel Valley got
four inches five inches. A few places got six inches
up in the mountains over the course the last three days.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
From a guy in Jacksonville who flew in for the
game yesterday that there were people in canoes in Long Beach,
on the streets of Long Beach getting around. That's great.
And Jacksonville was what eighty It was beautiful. It was
I mean it was Jacksonville, but it was still a
seventy seven sunny, slight breeze. That was the best thing
(03:54):
about the weekend was the weather.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
A huge tank it. Everybody showed up at lucid Or
bri Company out in Chino Hills. We had an absolutely
great time, despite the fact that we missed you. There
was a cardboard cutout that people were taking pictures with.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I did try to auction it off.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
There was a gentleman who said he would prefer to
have that to take it.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Home with him, but you didn't give it to him.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Well for licensing purposes, I don't think it was appropriate.
I don't know what he was going to do with it.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Well, it's only like three feet tall. It's like a midget.
It's like, oh, oh, if I was a midget, that's awful. Anything.
We have a blow up your face blown up in
our office and it's terrifying and it's been there for
about twenty years.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
No, that was that was if I'm not mistaken, that
was the COVID baseball thing.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
That's what it was.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yes, my sister actually had tickets for Oracle Park and
they offered if you've got so many tickets. It was
for her company. She's like, well, would you want your
face at Oracle Park to watch the Giants game? Since
they're not actually allowing humans. This all trigger and I know,
and I was like, gosh, that sounds like a good idea.
And it took a dumb picture of myself and they
(05:06):
put it up at the park and it sat there
for months while nobody was there. Yeah, and then good
on them. They actually individually sent all of them back
to the people who had taken pictures.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Anyway, and we have it, Yeah, we do.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
It.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Just stares at us in the office. Now we've got
another one.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
And a big thank you Elmer. By the way, Elmer
came out to the show on Friday night.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah, I did it go the last weekend. It was great.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
It was I last night was exhausted, I bet at
the end of it because the doing news and brus
and then doing the show Saturday or Friday. Tried to
tried to rest, just be calm on Saturday and then
had to go do that stuff outside and then turn
around and run back to the to the show. Had
(05:56):
a bunch of friends that came on Saturday night also,
so that was fun. And then last night there were
people who came back for a second time to see
the show. Listeners who had heard about the show. Jamie
out and Pomona came back and brought some friends. There
were other people that had gone Saturday, they came back
on Sunday, and in fact, a woman came all the
way from Phoenix yesterday, thank God, to drive up there
(06:19):
and watch the show.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
That is awesome. It was a great show. I think
everybody you know you didn't regret seeing that one. That
was a good afternoon or evening. Yeah. It was fun.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
Yeah, Gary, your character was so funny and like your
intro monologue just like uh like it was. It was
interesting to see like this like fun thespian side of you,
and like the whole crowd was laughing. It was like
such an experience and it was like, uh, you felt
so comfortable up there, Like it was so cool to
(06:51):
like show Diane that, you know, like I worked with you,
and it was like, oh no, this is Gary, you know,
and it was such an amazing like moment.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
And Elmer.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Elmer is the only person that brought me flowers.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
That is so sweet. I would just like to say,
in my defense, you did not like it when I
brought you flowers before. You did it to embarrass me. Okay,
well see I do it to embarrass you. But it's
sweet from Elmer. Damn Skiopie. I don't know what to
do without. I can't win with you. I can't win
with you. I bring flowers, I get in trouble. I
don't bring flowers. I get in trouble. I'm sure you
(07:24):
appreciate it. That's sweet. I like that the thespian side
of you. Yes, that was weird.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Forty Thanksgiving right around the corner. Did you see that turkeys?
The cost of a turkey is up forty percent. I mean,
it's not shocking, and I was I was talking about
it last week about how they're going to have to
do something about the grocery prices going into midterms, and
it looks like Trump is doing just that, the administration
kind of reconfiguring the tariff situation to reflect better prices
(07:59):
at the grocery store. We'll get into that coming up.
During swamp launch at eleven o'clock home exploded in Chino
Hills yesterday. Eight people, they said were injured. Temporary evacuations,
and that the Post News and Bruis bender that went out.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Of control possibly the forty two hundred block a Sierra
Vista Drive.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
One home basically collapsed.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Some others did suffer minor damage, and they said that
some of the people, including kids, that were hurt, were
actually inside the home when it went up.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
FAA says all flight restrictions are off, at least the
FAA imposed flight restrictions. There are still some weather issues,
of course, because we're getting into the getting into fall.
Late fall, early winter of course is usually when we
see some problems. But at least the FAA restrictions on
commercial flights are lifted. As we get closer to what
(08:50):
we'll be a busy week next week.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
For you were busy over the weekend with your Thespian
activities and such. I did not pay attention to this
very much, and so I'm curious about the timing or
if you know what the timing of this is all about.
President Trump yesterday urging House Republicans to back a measure
that would compel the Justice Department to release the Epstein files.
(09:15):
One obvious question is can't he compel the Justice Department.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
I assume so, but I don't know. I've never understood.
I shouldn't say never.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I don't think I've understood the last couple of kind
of flips that he's done on the issue of the
Epstein files.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
I don't think there's anything in there that damages him specifically,
or damages him more than it would damage other people
that we already know had connections with Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I feel like it's piling on at this point and
just creating more of a do where there needs to
be none. I mean, Trump ran on in part releasing
these files. This was a big tenant of his campaign.
Let's expose the Democratic elites that were running around with
(10:11):
Jeffrey Epstein, let's expose everybody, and people bought that hook
line and sinker Pam Bondy. As soon as she took
control of the Justice Department, she came out with her binders,
I'm going to release all this. Then nothing, and then
they came out and they said there's nothing there. Well,
that seemed curious, and so now Trump says that he
(10:32):
wants the House to release these files after coming out
and saying, Eh, let's get rid of this vote. I
don't understand the timing.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Well, I think this latest flip is something along the
lines of you want to be on the side of
something that's going to happen anyway, this is pretty clear
that the House is definitely going to vote to compel
the Justice Department to release the files, and this may
be him sort of taking that last best position, which is, yeah,
(11:04):
I wanted this the whole time. He mentioned it on
Friday night to reporters that he wants Republicans in the
House to vote in order to release the Epstein files,
despite the fact that he has long said that this
is a democratic hoax. If this is a democratic hoax,
or if he's suggesting that Democrats are the ones that
(11:24):
are feeding the fire, that there's some salacious information in
these files that the Justice Department still has. That doesn't
make sense because Democrats have been in power if you
look back from the second Obama term to Joe Biden's term,
eight of the last twelve years, they've had the ability
(11:44):
to release these files and have not done so.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
So I don't it doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
It also has caused this rift between he and Marjorie
Taylor Green.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
This is one of the weirdest fights.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
That has come out as a results of There's other
things that play into that, but specifically, he has gone
after Marjorie Taylor Green and suggested that nobody cares about her,
which I thought was kind of funny.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
He used to be her best friend.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Marjorie Trader Grin.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
I don't think her life is in danger.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
I don't think Frankly, I don't think anybody cares about her.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
And only she was one of the ones saying release
the files.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Right.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
She has been on that dying on that hill, and
he doesn't like the fact that this hasn't gone away,
and it's because of people like her that it hasn't
gone away.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
So she was on CNN, and I'm telling you, this
is a weird look for her. She's one of the
fire brands, or had been one of the fire brands
when it comes to MAGA, when it comes to far
right Republicans who called for used violent rhetoric, she admits it.
And now she's taking this moment where she says, gosh,
(12:53):
I don't think I should have said that stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
This was her from CNN yesterday.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
We have seen these kinds of attacks or criticism from
the President at other people. It's not new, and with respect,
I haven't heard you speak out about it until it
was directed at you, Dana.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
I think that's fair criticism, and I would like to say, humbly,
I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics. It's
very bad for our country, and it's been something I've
thought about a lot, especially since Charlie Kirk was assassinated,
is that we I'm only responsible for myself and my
(13:34):
own words and actions, and I am going I am committed,
and I've been working on this a lot lately to
put down the knives and politics.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
But apparently that attitude is traitorous well to Trump, Yes.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Well, no, no, I think that was her pulling a
one eighty away from what she was doing. I think
once she realized that Trump was going to take out
his knives against her, she backtracked. And that was her
backtracking because what she fell prey to was there's this
corner of the internet and it's alt right right, and
I fell into the algorithm looking at a conspiracy ones
on Twitter and was exposed to this community pretty well.
(14:12):
And they are they are people who voted for Trump.
They want the Epstein fowls release, and they are so
pissed off that this has not happened, and they're mad
at Trump. You ran on this, We were going to
expose all these rich people that did all this child
sex stuff and what the hell? This is why we
elected you. And it's a strong community, and it is
(14:35):
it is easy to be sucked in. And she was
sucked into that community, that alt right community, and she
was like there, you know, their megaphone. And then when
she realized that doing that was running a foul of
what Trump wanted, she was like, oh wait a minute, here,
I'm out here blowing in the wind. I don't want
to align Yeah a place right right, So that's her
(14:55):
going on CNN and saying, you know what, I'm gonna
put my knives down on this bat for the country
I'll do. I'll toe the line.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Do you think she means it?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yeah, she has to mean it for her political future,
doesn't she. I mean as strong as the alt right
Epstein take them down. The release of File's community is
they're not the Trump machine. That's the all powerful one.
All right.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Up next, the FAA is pulling back. It looks like
we're getting something back to normal when it comes to
flight reductions.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Not quite done with our rain.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
We will expect to see a storm rolling in today
and then another one probably later tomorrow, nowhere near as
powerful as what we saw Friday night into Saturday morning.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
This is that atmospheric river you spoke of last week,
where we have the rain and then a little bit
more and then another wave, not a big wave, but
like a river wave of rain. You know what it's
called weather, It's called November. Yeah, there's all sub asses.
People did lose their minds. Elma and I were talking
about driving and people. I'm comfortable driving and rain. I
(16:11):
may not be the best driver, but I'm comfortable driving
in rain. There are people who are clearly bad drivers
and uncomfortable driving and rain. And either they're going real
slow because they're terrified and they don't want to hit
you know, pockets of water whatever, or they're just balls
to the wall.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
They don't give a crap.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
It's doesn't matter if it's you know, pouring rain or
sunny in seventy four, they're going to be doing eighty
on the one seventy or something like that.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I remember when my mom was teaching me how to
drive and we were in here, you know, nineteen ninety
four Saturn and it was the biggest day loge and
we're on the one oh one there in Nevado and
and I'm like, I can't do that. I'm just learning.
She's like, Nope, you're going to do it. You're gonna drive,
and you're gonna cause you're gonna be on your own
one day and you're going to do it. It will
(17:01):
rain in it, and it was probably the worst downpour
still to this day that I remember driving in It
was like that one. And we got in Philly, remember
but just remember, like, what the heck? But after that,
it's like, yeah, nothing's really that bad, nothing compared to that.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
There was an update I saw this morning for the
Reverend Jesse Jackson, still in the hospital, and there's kind
of a conflicting and maybe just a semantic error or
a semantic difference. Maybe A statement that was really released
late Saturday by his family said that Jesse Jackson is
breathing on his own, is not being assisted by machines,
(17:40):
and therefore not on life support. But someone else said
that he had been receiving medication to raise his blood pressure,
which is I guess technically qualifies as a form of
life support. But he has improved, they said, over the
last twenty four to forty eight hours or so, he's
been able to maintain a stable blood pressure without the
(18:01):
assistance of medication.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Flight reductions of forty airports mandated by the FAA are
coming to an end today right now as we speak.
According to the Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. These began, of course,
when the shutdown was in effect. Air traffic controllers weren't
getting paid, they weren't coming to work, so they had
to reduce air traffic capacity for your controllers to monitor
(18:23):
things in the skies. They wanted to do this for
safety measures, so air traffic capacity was reduced by at
least four percent in some of the nation's busiest airports.
That's why you saw delays or missed flights and things
like that. The worry was that this would not be
put back into motion for Thanksgiving. Now there will be
the ripple effect that we've talked about. There will be
(18:45):
more flight disruptions because of the original disruptions, but they
will be dissipating and things should just be as crazy
as usual for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, just a normal crazy for Thanksgivings. As a I guess,
a clear indicator how different things are today than they
were last week. There are only, as of right now,
forty six cancelations for flights in the United States this time.
Back on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, for example, there were well
(19:16):
over one thousand cancelations. So that is good and again
all good going into what will be a very busy
week next week for Thanksgiving travel. There was also a story.
When you book a window seat on a plane, you
expect to get a window seat on a plane, but
(19:38):
there are some airlines that had been bumping people from
those window seats. There's a class action lawsuit against Delta
Airlines in United Airlines filed by passengers who said they
paid extra money to sit in those window seats, only
to be sitting next to seats without an actual window.
They were in the window seat, but the window didn't
(19:59):
actually line up with their seat, so they were looking
at a blank wall. United has asked a federal judge
to dismiss this. So the airline argues that window seat
doesn't actually mean window seat, It just means seat farthest
away from the eye.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
And that's perfectly fine. But if you pay specifically for
a window seat and you don't get one, then you
should at least get your money back.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
And here's the question I have is how many people
is this really? I know it's a class action, So
there's a couple of days.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
If I paid extra for a window seat, that's if
that's if it's that important to me, then I'm gonna
make I'm at least gonna say something about it.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Well, and wouldn't it wouldn't the pr be better for
United and Delta to just go, you know what, here's
your one hundred and nine dollars back, or here's one
hundred and nine dollars credit for to use in a
future trip, something that rather than allow it to get
to a class action lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
They do all right? Coming up, and next, Gavin Newsome
apparently has lost another fan.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
This kind of opened up a question in my mind
of why don't people move more? Eighty years ago, fifty
years ago, if you didn't like where you lived, you moved,
and it was very common. One hundred years ago, people
moved all the time.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Why people people are having a hard time putting hard
pants on to go to the grocery store. The idea
of moving is something that takes initiative beyond what we
have programmed ourselves to do. Well, then we don't have
to do this segment. You just nailed it. Oh, I'm sorry.
We'll expand on it when we come back.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Coming up. There was some good news I came across
this morning an article in Time magazine, the health section
that boasted this the best years of your life probably
still ahead. I like that they threw it. Probably they're like,
maybe could be for all of us well, you'll have
to wait and listen to the show and find out
(22:08):
slog through this just to get something through this. No, No,
that's not what I meant what you said. Oh you
heard that I was out loud. I heard it, I am,
but I have not filter. It's gone away, Gary. Yes,
I grew up a Thousand Oaks man.
Speaker 7 (22:24):
I remember back in nineteen seventy seven, believe it was,
and mister Tadlock, our Civics teacher for our driver's training,
first day ever behind the wheel, he took us out
and we went on the one on one freeway from
Thousand Oaks to camery Own back in the rain.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I was terrified. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
One of the requirements now at least the drivers said
that My kids went through, uh through that's through the
school is you had to have an actual driver's head
teacher for two less or whatever the requirement is. And
the guy shows up and beat up a Camri and
immediately drives on the freeway, immediately makes our kids go
(23:06):
out on I five.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Yeah, on I five like I would have never done that.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
You take them through the deserted like business park, and
you learn to park, and you learn to turn and
signal all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
No, No, the first thing.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Within thirty seconds, they're at seventy five miles an hour
on the freeway.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Wow. A little terrifying and very different than what we
did as kids.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
For they come for.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
The first lesson, for the first lesson, it's insane. Well,
usually parents do the whole take them out to the
parking lot thing.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
And I had done that.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yeah, I think every parent has done that before you
get to the driver's ed stage, right, I hope so.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Gary, come on.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
The reason it's called a French drain a French drain
because it doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
No, it's actually named after a guy. And I didn't
know this. I had to look it up.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Is it Louis French?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Henry flag French out of Concord, Massachusetts.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
What did he do?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
He was a lawyer, US assistant US Treasury secretary. Actually
he described them in a book I guess back in.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Eighteen fifty nine.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
So who was French's mustard named after?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Mister French? Probably not the same guy, But.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
I mean that's something to look into, isn't it. That's
an American question.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Robert and George French.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Oh, I bet they're from the Midwest. Tell me more
about them.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Fairport, New York. Really that's where they're originally from.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
They did remove or relocate to Rochester.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Now they came up with the mustard recipe. Huh. Your
brothers banging around in the garage mixing chemicals? Is that right?
And I nail it? Are you just making that up?
You're disagreeing with the just that's exactly what they did.
Throw a little vinegar in here, condiments, pickles, flours? Did
they were they anti mayo guys? They were communists. They
(25:06):
were not communists. They were not COMMUNI you're just upset
because you're defending mayonnaise. I know what's going on over there.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Comedian Jeff Dye as the latest person to say a
politician is causing him to move, in this case based
here in California. Southern California specifically went on Joe Rogan
to say that he's buying a house in Texas because
he's concerned about the direction that California is taking. There
are a couple of things about this. Number One, Gavin
Newsom's been governor for six years now, so I don't
(25:36):
know why this is all of and his days are numbered.
That's not to say that there's going to be a
giant shift politically back to the more conservative politics of California.
But he said, I'm in this kind of la thing.
I could be guilty of being a victim of what
I'm absorbing in my algorithm, but Gavin Newsom scares the
s out of me, and I don't want to be
(25:57):
a part of it. So he said the fire specifically
earlier this year, were a wake up call. And he said,
whatever you believe about the fires, the way they dealt
with it was pretty scary. I'm I'm surprised that in
and of itself is the thing that would make him
express or make come to this decision that he wanted
to move. We've heard about people who say they want
(26:18):
to move because of insert name of politician here, and
it's always an eye rolling thing. Well, that must be nice,
That must be nice to have the ability and the
finances to pick up and go buy another home in
some other state and just live out your existence. But
not everybody has that ability.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
To do well.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
It's kind of like the thing that goes on in
Florida with hurricanes, right. Sometimes people just had enough. Sometimes
people have had enough of these wildfires and they are
all the scientists have told us, they're just going to
get bigger and more destructive. It's just the way that
the world is working, and so when you're done with it,
you're done with it. I don't know if it's indicative
of I don't think anyone could have prevented these fires
(26:59):
from happening. It's not like a California centric like, Oh,
they really screwed it up, and could they have responded better? Yes.
Could there have been less bureaucracy, yes, but you're going
to find that everywhere you go. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
There was also a Gallup survey that showed two in
five American women, specifically women and girls between the ages
of fifteen and forty four, two in five said they
would leave the United States permanently if they could. That's
four times higher than what it was about ten years ago.
(27:31):
So right now they say twenty percent of young girls
and women so they would leave the United States.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
That's because men are holed up in their dungeons, watching
porn and playing a call of duty to become a
real American hero. It's my fault. I was listening to
a radio show this morning and they had this stat
sixty three percent of men aged. I may be messing
(27:57):
this up, but it was like eighteen to third are
not pursuing a relationship? Yeah, sixty three percent. Yep, I
beat the odds.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
We did yes.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Last week we did a whole series of different versions
of AI chatbots and the relationships, emotional relationships that people
are in with. They're easy, not inanimate objects, and there
are now the The twist on it now is that
people are claiming to be pregnant with.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
And having children with.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
One chapter and they start trying to adopt. That's going
to be a fun court case, isn't it when people
start trying to adopt children with their bot.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Because remember there was one of the women that we see.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
When they want their bought to have parental rights because
you know, you want to adopt a child on your own,
you can do that, but when you start getting into
crazy town with putting your bot on the birth certificates
and things.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Or in the will and trust. If something happens to me,
custody goes to.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
The show Let's go who invented? Catchup? I have the
answer when we come back to Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.

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