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. Hey, this is your reminder join us.
It is going to be a party in West Covina.
A party West Kovina has never seen the likes of before.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
They kicked us out.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Last time when we planned to have a broadcast. They
said we didn't have a permit. We said, why would
we need a permit. Well, we're going to let them
know why we need a permit on Thursday. It's going
to be chaotic, it's going to be fun. It is
going to be Thursday. If they don't let us in,
we say, we don't care. We take over the parking lot.
It's it's anarchy and we're here for it. And trust me,
it's not the people of West Covina. We love the
(00:40):
people West Covine. It's like Iran. We love the people
of Iran. We hate the Iranian government. We love the
people of West Covina. We hate the West covene In
covin In government. Let's talk about something not controversial that
we don't need to compare to Iran.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Henry de Carlo joins us. What a treat.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
By the way, Henry is also invited on Thursday.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
I know you have a day job and stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
For Henry has way more important things to do than
to spend more time with us. We are delighted to
have him today. Henry, we were watching you this morning,
as we do every morning on k t LA, and
you said, we've.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Got some big changes coming this week.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Yeah, it's going to get awfully hot. But you know
what I can he kind of had me an anarchy.
I could be persuaded. I like your idea of a party,
so let's go. But yeah, we were talking a little
bit about the winds, the winds and the heat coming
back today. So far the winds have been, you know,
fairly good docile. But we do anticipate our first Santa
(01:43):
Anna win of the season. Uh, and so we're looking
for heat and with that, you know, there's always those
fire concerns, and I think now more than ever, whenever
we talk about sant Ana wins, we definitely get on
alert and that's that's what we're going to be doing
over the next couple of days.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Do you that's kind of a bizarre question, perhaps, do
you see changes at all to the way we warn
people about whether like we're going to get even more
dire situations where we need to have a different grading
system or a different classification system for some of these warnings,
(02:17):
Oh you know.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
You're going to get me in trouble. Yes, I have
seen that. I saw it a few weeks ago when
we have the thunderstorms and then there was some new
classification or a thunderstorm alert that you know hasn't been
issued in seventeen years. So I do feel and again
this is me personally talking, and sometimes I can be
a pariah in the meteorology world because I don't buy
(02:43):
into I don't want to say I don't buy into
a lot of this stuff. But I think we live
in an age now where we really have to figure
out a way to try to get people's attention, or
at least we think we do, and I think it's
a disservice to the people. So I'm not sure I'm
answering your question. But what I guess, what I'm trying
to say in in a correct way that's not going
to get anybody to upset. I feel like sometimes we
(03:05):
should just let people tell people what the weather's going
to be and let them make their own assumptions. When
we start trying to label things with these different levels,
and many times it doesn't meet that. It's almost like
crying wolf. And I'm not trying to say that talking
about sant Ana wins is crying wolf, because but this
is a huge area with so many different counties. So
when we go out there and broadbrush a forecast saying okay,
(03:28):
we're getting ready for these massive Santianas or these this
big outburst of thunderstorms, you know, ninety ninety five percent
of the people are not affected by it. So after
a while it kind of loses a little bit of that.
So I think there has been even by the National
Weather Service almost this approach to really try to make
(03:50):
these events, as we call them, these weather events really
stick in people's conscious so they're aware of what's going on.
But sometimes it can be a little you know, counterproductive,
because it's such a big area, broad area that we're
talking to, and a lot of those areas don't get affected.
The USA bega, you know, boy, all this talked about
this and not much really really happened, and I kind
(04:13):
of yearned for the old days. I guess maybe it's
a sign of me getting older, or we just kind
of said, hey, this is it. And then everybody kind of,
you know, was aware of what was going on, but
we weren't overblowing at the risk of all these overblown forecasts,
if that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I think they It all started when they started wheeling
out the Mega Doppler Super Turbo Charger Raider, and it
was like, calmed down. We live in la at seventy
two degrees most of the time. You don't need a
bear cat that the SWAT team uses to tell us
what your fancy radar systems are. I've told us forever,
(04:50):
you know. Yeah, And I think it does get a
little bit too too overhyped when in fact we do
have a forecast that is crazy awful, like we saw
in January before the fires.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You've got fewer people.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Paying attention because they've been hit over the head with
your over dramatized weather forecast for so long. So I
don't mean to talk us, And certainly it's not about you, Henry.
You keep it real, but I picking up what you're
putting down.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
I do always try to keep it real on and
tell people all the time. I'm just a messenger, you know.
There was a time when I got there, if there
was you know, we'd get half an inch of rain
in the forecast, they would play like this special music
like storm Alert. I've said enough with the music. You
guys shall do that with anyone else. I'm not doing
that because I'm doing people at disservice. I mean, it's
a half an inch of rain. We're all going to
survive a half inch of rain. This is just like
(05:40):
overblowing things. But you know what's really interesting about the
last wind event, that last wind event that we did have,
I think from a forecast perspective, that forecast was actually nailed.
We knew going into it that this was going to
be wins that we hadn't experienced in possibly ten years.
And when I say that, I'm talking about you know,
(06:01):
meteorological community knew that and we tried to, you know,
get that information out. I do think the response in
certain cities that was the disservice that was done. And
I'm not saying that to cover myself as a weather
person or anything like that. That's not my point. Usually
these weather forecasts are fairly accurate. I think what happens is,
(06:22):
especially if you get a storm where you have a
potential of a thunderstorm and you get two three inches,
you're gonna have flood flood issues. I think that's what
you tell people. That's my job. Hey listen, San Fernando Ali,
you could be getting this. But when we start getting
these these words or fancy ways that we want to say, hey,
we're all on storm alert, we all need to be worried. Well,
(06:42):
that's not necessarily true. We know that there's certain areas
and I think as a weather person, that's my job.
My job is to focus on those individual on those
individual areas. But I'm fighting this other you know, social
media or these government officials that come up and say, hey,
we need to do this, we need to do that,
And then back to my original point, the masses of
(07:04):
people are thinking, oh my goodness, well no, I think
we need to focus on the isolated, you know areas
and just kind of keep it real, so to speak.
So there is there is this kind of attempt. I
mean that now we're naming storms we you know, on
the East coast, like the Weather Channel and stuff, and
that to me, that's just silly. I mean, it's just
a cute way.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
To talk about weather.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
But it's like, do we need to start? And you know,
hurricanes are one thing. Anyway, now you've got me down
a rabbit hole. You can tell this is the source
spot for me.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Now I'm with you. You're preaching to the choir. How
much sleep did you get last night?
Speaker 5 (07:39):
You know I actually got my normal amount of sleep.
I didn't stay up to watch the entire Dodgery game.
I just sat there and said, you know what this
could be. You know, when you have an early wake
up call, as I do, it's like you you know,
my my After a while, my body just shuts down
and I'm like, okay, I'm done. So I went to bed.
I'm refreshed, I'm feeling good. I'm ready for tonight's game.
(08:00):
And you know, I was happy when I woke up
this morning and the first thing I did is check
my phone and it's like, okay, they won. And when
I heard they won in eighteen innings because I went
to bed after like eleven, I'm like, I'm glad I
didn't weigh up because that stay up, that would have
been another hour and a half. Right to wait for that.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah, you made a good call, all right. Remember breathe
through your eyes and keep your back swing low.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Oh yeah, that's right. You know, I'm heading out. I
got a tea time coming up in about thirty minutes.
But they said, you guys were calling. I said, you
know what, well, they can just cart me out to
the second hole. I gotta make this happen. Love being
on your show. I appreciate you guys. You guys are
the best. Thanks for having me on. And anytime you
need anything, I can't. You know, I'm I'm multifaceted. I
(08:42):
don't just have to talk about weather, you know.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Oh listen, if you answer your email once in a while,
maybe we'll have you in on the studio.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
I tried to email you a couple of times, and
people tell me.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Nobody reads their email anymore. I don't read my email.
Come on, Henry, thank.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
You you probably you probably emailed me. I emailed on
my work email. I will be honest. I don't look
at my working mail because as a weather person, nobody
reaches out to me. I get all of the you know,
I get that want me to Yeah, I want people
that have books and they want me to interview the
person that wrote a book, and I've got to read.
(09:15):
It's like you know, so I'll give you my personal email.
You guys will be that won't happen again. I'd love
to come in.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
My god, I would love to have him in host
with me. You're gone, When are you gone?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
It doesn't matter, Henry, Thank you? Have fun?
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Oh sad, poor poor Jerry. You're getting pushed out for
a day. I'll just keep the seat warm. You guys
are the best. You're not going anywhere either one of yet.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Thank you, Henry, Henry de Carlos. Yes, our heat advisory
from this morning through tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
So stay cool or whatever. People.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
It would be fun to have him in I mean,
he offered. We're not holding him captive or anything. We
have taken hostages before, but he seems willing.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Hey, he walks into the bear trap, he walks into
the barrick trap.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Are you a hostage if you're willing?
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Maybe it doesn't start like can you change? Like can
it change? Is this like a consent thing where you
can change your mind at any time?
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Syndrome?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Or like you go in willing and then you're like
at some point you're like, okay, that's enough.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
To go, all right?

Speaker 4 (11:09):
Was it shelter two ten or the five?
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Ah? Damn, it was at a It was at an
actual shelter allegedly, No, no, what do you mean allegedly? Oh,
we don't really know. We don't really know all the facts,
do we don't you think that my wife would have

Speaker 2 (11:32):
She doesn't like cats either, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Do you want your Jeopardy question taking care of chores?
Olympic pot pourri for six hundred dollars? The five Olympic
rings are red, yellow, blue, green. In this color.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
White, white, red, yellow, blue, green, Oh, and black. Yeah,
of course.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
You'd pick white. Why is this funny?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Because like, how many times have we seen the rings
against like a white flag, or like against a white background,
Like I guess I've never seen it against black, Right,
it's always against white. I'm not poopoing your your guess.
I wouldn't get any of these things.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
You sound very like you've thought a lot about the
colors of the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I did, because I read it like an hour ago,
and I was like, huh, I've never noticed that there's
a black Olympic ring. I always thought they were all colors. Well,
black is a color, it is, but you know it's
not a bright color.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
It's not festive necessary unless it's I was.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Thinking maybe purple. I don't know. I couldn't figure it out.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Didn't you just look at the answer?
Speaker 1 (13:08):
No, I was playing by myself alone for the past hour.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
It's a lot of willpower right there. I would have
looked at the back.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah, Okay, local story by the way, when we come back. Yeah,
this San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputy shot and killed while
responding to a domestic violence call. And then the insane
video that you may have seen yesterday, an off duty
officer in a private vehicle makes himself on duty. Yeah,
(13:38):
and then knocks the guy off the motorcycle at about seventy.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Five miles on the mission.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I didn't know the two were connected. I heard about
the deputy being killed. I saw the video of the
motorcycle crash. I did not know they were connected. Wild story,
a tragedy. This guy's got a two year old daughter
and his wife is pregnant.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
We'll talk about Deputy Andrew Nunyas when we come back.
Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Hurricane Melissa has now made landfall on Jamaica. The strongest
Atlantic storm of the year. This may be the strongest
storm anywhere on the Earth this year. Catastrophic damage is
promised to cross the entire island. Winds have reached one
hundred and eighty miles an hour have gusted well over that,
(14:33):
including some of the higher elevations in Jamaica, where gusts
are expected to be up around two hundred and thirty
miles per hour. This would be the category five hurricane.
It's moving less than one mile an hour at least
it was earlier this morning, which means it's just going
to sit over the island and continue to churn. Tens
(14:57):
of thousands of so Cal Edison customers could have their
power turned off today. The planned public safety power shutoffs
come because of the wind and the potential for fast
moving wildfires if lines are energized. According to Edison, about
fifty one thousand people have been notified that they are
within areas that could potentially be impacted by power cuts.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Well.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
It was about twelve thirty five yesterday after noon when
Deputy Andrew Nuniez, twenty eight years old. Andrew Nunyez responded
to a call. It was a call of an armed
man threatening a woman in Rancho Cucamonga. This was on
(15:42):
Hollyhowk Drive again about twelve thirty five pm.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Deputies responded there was a call specifically about an armed
man threatening a woman. They were fired on as soon
as they arrived at the scene. Nunyaz was hit once
in the head. He was rushed to Arrow had Rec
Medical Center, but was pronounced dead within the hour. By
about one thirteen now, the suspect was taken into custody
(16:09):
and transported after a crash on the two ten freeway.
Took off on a motorcycle and if you haven't seen
the video yet, he was reaching speeds of one hundred
and twenty miles an hour at least in the ones
that I've seen, and at one point an off duty
officer who happened to be on the freeway basically went
(16:29):
on duty. This was a San Bernardino County Sheriff, Shannon Dkas.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
The pursuit came to a conclusion with an off duty deputy,
sheriff could put himself on duty and conducted a legal
intervention by hitting the suspect on the motorcycle, causing the motorcycle.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
To go down.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
I didn't know any of that happened.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Helicopter footage shows the man colliding with that black sedan
while traveling seventy miles per hour, soaring over the handlebars,
landing on his back. I can't believe if he survived that.
When I watched the video at speed of that collision,
it looked like his head popped off.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Well, he was wearing a backpack, and right before the
impact with this off duty slash on duty sheriff's deputy,
he had reached behind and grabbed a gun and racked
it like he was going to start shooting at somebody,
whether he's shooting at the people that were chasing him
or shooting up ahead. He actually had his hands off
(17:29):
the handlebars.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
When he made contact with the car.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
So he goes up.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
The backpack that he's wearing flies off, and I think
that's what you probably saw.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
I didn't think there was any way that that person
would have survived that.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
No, because we just saw the other day somebody pull
over in a pursuit like that, jumped the center median
and our center divider and then get hit by like
three or four other cars.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
I mean, it would be highly.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Likely that the guy died after an accident, after a
not even an accident, after what the sheriff referred to
as a legal intervention. Now again, at the center of
all of this is the loss of this San Bernardino
County Sheriff's deputy, Andrew Nuniez, who had been with the
department for about six years. He was only twenty eight
years old.
Speaker 7 (18:16):
When we talk about this young man, his wife, two
year old daughter, and the couple was expecting. His mother
and his four brothers and sisters are who have to
live with this, along with the members of his department
who are out there serving with him today.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Sheriffdika said that Nunias was a wonderful father, He was
a wonderful deputy sheriff. He had been serving the Rancho
Cucamonga community for the last five years or so. Obviously,
the guy would be the guy in the crash, the
guy who's accused of shooting him booked.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
For murder upon medical clearance.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Of course, the DIA's Office of the domestic violence charges
could also be filed as part of the original call, and,
as we've seen too many times before, yet another long
procession of law enforcement other first responders, as the body
was transported from the hospital yesterday to the coroner's office.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Just striking with the American flag draped between two fire
trucks as the blue and red lights often on under
the cover of darkness there just completely blanket that procession.
It's a reminder of what people lose when they sign
(19:34):
up to protect these communities. It's a reminder of what
families lose when they have somebody in their family who
signs up to protect communities.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Yeah. Sure, there are a lot of.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Interactions with law enforcement that are by the book, but
there's always a chance that there's crazy on the other
side of that door.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Yeah, and we talked about it. I mean that ins
place like southern California, there are tens of thousands of
contacts with law enforcement every day, but it's this one.
It's these that are the most dangerous and end up
costing lives.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, all right, coming up next, are we talking about
how we're poor?
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Yeah? Why not?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
We're poor?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Also a plan to clean up Santa Monica. Will tell
you about those big plans what those entail, because it's
a mess of we're in Santa Monica unfortunately, So finally
they might be doing something.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
We, of course, are gonna be watching game four tonight,
Dodgers hosting the Blue Jays five o'clock.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
First pitch. I don't think it's going to go as
long as the last one.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Hey, Gary, just wondering in your infinite did the Dodgers
actually in.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
That game or didnt lose it?
Speaker 7 (21:08):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Wow, that's a throwback.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
That's like something that's like something a wife would do, right,
Like you said something three weeks ago, and he's bringing
it up now. He might be mad about something else.
He might have been mad about the way you talked
about three I Atlas, but he's going back in the
files and finding out something that he was upset with
you about three weeks ago, and he's bringing it right
(21:38):
back up to the forefront of your relationship.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Freddie Freeman won that game. No, he didn't, do you
mean he didn't?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I mean, yeah, he he scored the walk off, But
that was a collective effort.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
They all won that game. Again, Bullpen won that game.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
I'm not saying that they didn't all have a part
in it for the same reason that the Phillies didn't.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
All have a party.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
But that guy threw the ball to the backstop when
all you had to do was throw.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
It to first base.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
I don't want to get involved with your guys's argument,
but it sounds like you need to sit down and
really listen to each other.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Is that what it sounds like?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Okay, La homeowners, it used to be the thing, right,
invest in a home. It's the best investment you can make.
Buy a home. Stop throwing away that money on rent.
My dad would say, but to what cost?
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Like in La?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Right now, you buy a home and then you have
no money for food, You have no money for anything
else because everything's going towards your house. Payments, your mortgage,
all the things that go along with owning a home, bills, utilities,
all of that, and you're left with nothing, so.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Your house poor.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah, you've got this great investment you're sitting on and
it is a great investment, and you've got rising a
home costs which show you that this is a good investment.
We got no money for anything else, so then what
do you do? New study published by Consumer Affairs found
that LA homeowners are among the most house poor in
(23:14):
the country, landing at number four among major cities.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Obviously, I mean to your point, house poor refers to
somebody who spends a disproportionate amount of their money their
income on housing and they don't have any money left
over for you.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Know, comforts here and there.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
According to Consumer Affairs, the typical household in la earns
just under eleven thousand dollars per month ten thousand and
eight to fifty five per month, but spends more than
thirty five hundred of it on housing costs, which in
that calculation is about thirty two point five percent of
your of your monthly income. And that's if it's a third.
(23:56):
I've always heard that that's a not an awful target.
Somewhere between a quarter and a fee third is what
you could expect, perhaps in a healthy budgeting scenario.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
But you've got to.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Think about what investment you need right now too, Like
do you need that home investment or do you need
to invest in yourself gary, your self care go on.
Maybe you want to afford the serums for your skincare,
you want to afford the therapy that you may need,
You want to afford the vacations that clear your head.
(24:26):
What do you need to invest in at the moment
or is it sitting in your home that you love
and that's.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
All you do?
Speaker 3 (24:34):
And for some people it is yeah, because there is
also that financial aspect of I mean, like you said,
guidance from our parents has always been just get in
the market.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
It always goes up.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
And I remember the first house that we bought in
Seattle for one hundred and twenty thousand dollars or whatever
it was. I was terrified at the amount of money
that that was. Yeah, because you don't I mean, you
can't wrap your head around it, especially if you're twenty three,
twenty four years old. You're going to be paying one
thousand dollars a month for where am I going to
(25:08):
get that money? And then the idea of as you
progress and as you move, as you make more money
in your life, whatever it is, you can incrementally get
larger homes or more value in your home or however
it works, but that you have to get in on
the ground floor. You got to be in somewhere.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Very scary. It's a scary leap to make. It's also
a commitment that was always my problem. I don't want
to commit to a house. It's terrifying, like I'm going
to want that house in a week. Probably not. It
was always odd to me, like I'm committing to staying
at a place, and that's part of the industry. I
mean I moved every year for a series of years.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Yeah, if you.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Grew up in the neighborhood in the small town in
Omaha where Grandpapy used to work on the cattle ranch.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah, Papa, I call them papaw.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Then yeah, you probably would feel.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Mama and Papa.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
But what's what I found interesting also is that La
trails three other cities in this Consumer Affairs report about
the communities.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
That are the most house poor.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
New York City that makes sense obviously, New Orleans interesting, and.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Hialaya, Florida, where I don't know Florida well enough.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Hialaya. Am I saying that right?
Speaker 3 (26:32):
I have no idea, but that those three cities have
more people who are considered house poor than the city
of Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
How do you spell that? H?
Speaker 5 (26:42):
I A.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Leah l e A H.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I've never heard of this of this land.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
I wouldn't know if it's a high end.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
It's right next to my Miami International.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
We are going to be live uh day after tomorrow, Thursday,
that is at BJ's Restaurant in Brue House in West Covina.

to take money from different businesses that you should adore
in your city down Yeah, trying an old fashion shakedown.
What do you think you are a city of Los Angeles?
(27:37):
You think you're Chicago, West Covina.

AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. Hey, this is your reminder join us.
It is going to be a party in West Covina.
A party West Kovina has never seen the likes of before.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
They kicked us out.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Last time when we planned to have a broadcast. They
said we didn't have a permit. We said, why would
we need a permit. Well, we're going to let them
know why we need a permit on Thursday. It's going
to be chaotic, it's going to be fun. It is
going to be Thursday. If they don't let us in,
we say, we don't care. We take over the parking lot.
It's it's anarchy and we're here for it. And trust me,
it's not the people of West Covina. We love the
(00:40):
people West Covine. It's like Iran. We love the people
of Iran. We hate the Iranian government. We love the
people of West Covina. We hate the West covene In
covin In government. Let's talk about something not controversial that
we don't need to compare to Iran.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Henry de Carlo joins us. What a treat.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
By the way, Henry is also invited on Thursday.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
I know you have a day job and stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
For Henry has way more important things to do than
to spend more time with us. We are delighted to
have him today. Henry, we were watching you this morning,
as we do every morning on k t LA, and
you said, we've.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Got some big changes coming this week.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Yeah, it's going to get awfully hot. But you know
what I can he kind of had me an anarchy.
I could be persuaded. I like your idea of a party,
so let's go. But yeah, we were talking a little
bit about the winds, the winds and the heat coming
back today. So far the winds have been, you know,
fairly good docile. But we do anticipate our first Santa
(01:43):
Anna win of the season. Uh, and so we're looking
for heat and with that, you know, there's always those
fire concerns, and I think now more than ever, whenever
we talk about sant Ana wins, we definitely get on
alert and that's that's what we're going to be doing
over the next couple of days.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Do you that's kind of a bizarre question, perhaps, do
you see changes at all to the way we warn
people about whether like we're going to get even more
dire situations where we need to have a different grading
system or a different classification system for some of these warnings,
(02:17):
Oh you know.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
You're going to get me in trouble. Yes, I have
seen that. I saw it a few weeks ago when
we have the thunderstorms and then there was some new
classification or a thunderstorm alert that you know hasn't been
issued in seventeen years. So I do feel and again
this is me personally talking, and sometimes I can be
a pariah in the meteorology world because I don't buy
(02:43):
into I don't want to say I don't buy into
a lot of this stuff. But I think we live
in an age now where we really have to figure
out a way to try to get people's attention, or
at least we think we do, and I think it's
a disservice to the people. So I'm not sure I'm
answering your question. But what I guess, what I'm trying
to say in in a correct way that's not going
to get anybody to upset. I feel like sometimes we
(03:05):
should just let people tell people what the weather's going
to be and let them make their own assumptions. When
we start trying to label things with these different levels,
and many times it doesn't meet that. It's almost like
crying wolf. And I'm not trying to say that talking
about sant Ana wins is crying wolf, because but this
is a huge area with so many different counties. So
when we go out there and broadbrush a forecast saying okay,
(03:28):
we're getting ready for these massive Santianas or these this
big outburst of thunderstorms, you know, ninety ninety five percent
of the people are not affected by it. So after
a while it kind of loses a little bit of that.
So I think there has been even by the National
Weather Service almost this approach to really try to make
(03:50):
these events, as we call them, these weather events really
stick in people's conscious so they're aware of what's going on.
But sometimes it can be a little you know, counterproductive,
because it's such a big area, broad area that we're
talking to, and a lot of those areas don't get affected.
The USA bega, you know, boy, all this talked about
this and not much really really happened, and I kind
(04:13):
of yearned for the old days. I guess maybe it's
a sign of me getting older, or we just kind
of said, hey, this is it. And then everybody kind of,
you know, was aware of what was going on, but
we weren't overblowing at the risk of all these overblown forecasts,
if that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
I think they It all started when they started wheeling
out the Mega Doppler Super Turbo Charger Raider, and it
was like, calmed down. We live in la at seventy
two degrees most of the time. You don't need a
bear cat that the SWAT team uses to tell us
what your fancy radar systems are. I've told us forever,
(04:50):
you know. Yeah, And I think it does get a
little bit too too overhyped when in fact we do
have a forecast that is crazy awful, like we saw
in January before the fires.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You've got fewer people.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Paying attention because they've been hit over the head with
your over dramatized weather forecast for so long. So I
don't mean to talk us, And certainly it's not about you, Henry.
You keep it real, but I picking up what you're
putting down.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
I do always try to keep it real on and
tell people all the time. I'm just a messenger, you know.
There was a time when I got there, if there
was you know, we'd get half an inch of rain
in the forecast, they would play like this special music
like storm Alert. I've said enough with the music. You
guys shall do that with anyone else. I'm not doing
that because I'm doing people at disservice. I mean, it's
a half an inch of rain. We're all going to
survive a half inch of rain. This is just like
(05:40):
overblowing things. But you know what's really interesting about the
last wind event, that last wind event that we did have,
I think from a forecast perspective, that forecast was actually nailed.
We knew going into it that this was going to
be wins that we hadn't experienced in possibly ten years.
And when I say that, I'm talking about you know,
(06:01):
meteorological community knew that and we tried to, you know,
get that information out. I do think the response in
certain cities that was the disservice that was done. And
I'm not saying that to cover myself as a weather
person or anything like that. That's not my point. Usually
these weather forecasts are fairly accurate. I think what happens is,
(06:22):
especially if you get a storm where you have a
potential of a thunderstorm and you get two three inches,
you're gonna have flood flood issues. I think that's what
you tell people. That's my job. Hey listen, San Fernando Ali,
you could be getting this. But when we start getting
these these words or fancy ways that we want to say, hey,
we're all on storm alert, we all need to be worried. Well,
(06:42):
that's not necessarily true. We know that there's certain areas
and I think as a weather person, that's my job.
My job is to focus on those individual on those
individual areas. But I'm fighting this other you know, social
media or these government officials that come up and say, hey,
we need to do this, we need to do that,
And then back to my original point, the masses of
(07:04):
people are thinking, oh my goodness, well no, I think
we need to focus on the isolated, you know areas
and just kind of keep it real, so to speak.
So there is there is this kind of attempt. I
mean that now we're naming storms we you know, on
the East coast, like the Weather Channel and stuff, and
that to me, that's just silly. I mean, it's just
a cute way.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
To talk about weather.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
But it's like, do we need to start? And you know,
hurricanes are one thing. Anyway, now you've got me down
a rabbit hole. You can tell this is the source
spot for me.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Now I'm with you. You're preaching to the choir. How
much sleep did you get last night?
Speaker 5 (07:39):
You know I actually got my normal amount of sleep.
I didn't stay up to watch the entire Dodgery game.
I just sat there and said, you know what this
could be. You know, when you have an early wake
up call, as I do, it's like you you know,
my my After a while, my body just shuts down
and I'm like, okay, I'm done. So I went to bed.
I'm refreshed, I'm feeling good. I'm ready for tonight's game.
(08:00):
And you know, I was happy when I woke up
this morning and the first thing I did is check
my phone and it's like, okay, they won. And when
I heard they won in eighteen innings because I went
to bed after like eleven, I'm like, I'm glad I
didn't weigh up because that stay up, that would have
been another hour and a half. Right to wait for that.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Yeah, you made a good call, all right. Remember breathe
through your eyes and keep your back swing low.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Oh yeah, that's right. You know, I'm heading out. I
got a tea time coming up in about thirty minutes.
But they said, you guys were calling. I said, you
know what, well, they can just cart me out to
the second hole. I gotta make this happen. Love being
on your show. I appreciate you guys. You guys are
the best. Thanks for having me on. And anytime you
need anything, I can't. You know, I'm I'm multifaceted. I
(08:42):
don't just have to talk about weather, you know.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Oh listen, if you answer your email once in a while,
maybe we'll have you in on the studio.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
I tried to email you a couple of times, and
people tell me.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Nobody reads their email anymore. I don't read my email.
Come on, Henry, thank.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
You you probably you probably emailed me. I emailed on
my work email. I will be honest. I don't look
at my working mail because as a weather person, nobody
reaches out to me. I get all of the you know,
I get that want me to Yeah, I want people
that have books and they want me to interview the
person that wrote a book, and I've got to read.
(09:15):
It's like you know, so I'll give you my personal email.
You guys will be that won't happen again. I'd love
to come in.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
My god, I would love to have him in host
with me. You're gone, When are you gone?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
It doesn't matter, Henry, Thank you? Have fun?
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Oh sad, poor poor Jerry. You're getting pushed out for
a day. I'll just keep the seat warm. You guys
are the best. You're not going anywhere either one of yet.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Thank you, Henry, Henry de Carlos. Yes, our heat advisory
from this morning through tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
So stay cool or whatever. People.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
It would be fun to have him in I mean,
he offered. We're not holding him captive or anything. We
have taken hostages before, but he seems willing.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Hey, he walks into the bear trap, he walks into
the barrick trap.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Are you a hostage if you're willing?
Speaker 5 (10:06):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Maybe it doesn't start like can you change? Like can
it change? Is this like a consent thing where you
can change your mind at any time?
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Syndrome?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Or like you go in willing and then you're like
at some point you're like, okay, that's enough.

Ah? Damn, it was at a It was at an

we don't really know. We don't really know all the facts,
do we don't you think that my wife would have
tattled on me at some point if that story.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
She doesn't like cats either, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (11:38):

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Do you want your Jeopardy question taking care of chores?
Olympic pot pourri for six hundred dollars? The five Olympic
rings are red, yellow, blue, green. In this color.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
White, white, red, yellow, blue, green, Oh, and black. Yeah,
of course.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
You'd pick white. Why is this funny?
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Because like, how many times have we seen the rings
against like a white flag, or like against a white background,
Like I guess I've never seen it against black, Right,
it's always against white. I'm not poopoing your your guess.
I wouldn't get any of these things.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
You sound very like you've thought a lot about the
colors of the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I did, because I read it like an hour ago,
and I was like, huh, I've never noticed that there's
a black Olympic ring. I always thought they were all colors. Well,
black is a color, it is, but you know it's
not a bright color.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
It's not festive necessary unless it's I was.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Thinking maybe purple. I don't know. I couldn't figure it out.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
Didn't you just look at the answer?
Speaker 1 (13:08):
No, I was playing by myself alone for the past hour.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
It's a lot of willpower right there. I would have
looked at the back.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah, Okay, local story by the way, when we come back. Yeah,
this San Bernardino County Sheriff's deputy shot and killed while
responding to a domestic violence call. And then the insane
video that you may have seen yesterday, an off duty
officer in a private vehicle makes himself on duty. Yeah,
(13:38):
and then knocks the guy off the motorcycle at about seventy.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Five miles on the mission.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I didn't know the two were connected. I heard about
the deputy being killed. I saw the video of the
motorcycle crash. I did not know they were connected. Wild story,
a tragedy. This guy's got a two year old daughter
and his wife is pregnant.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
We'll talk about Deputy Andrew Nunyas when we come back.
Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Hurricane Melissa has now made landfall on Jamaica. The strongest
Atlantic storm of the year. This may be the strongest
storm anywhere on the Earth this year. Catastrophic damage is
promised to cross the entire island. Winds have reached one
hundred and eighty miles an hour have gusted well over that,
(14:33):
including some of the higher elevations in Jamaica, where gusts
are expected to be up around two hundred and thirty
miles per hour. This would be the category five hurricane.
It's moving less than one mile an hour at least
it was earlier this morning, which means it's just going
to sit over the island and continue to churn. Tens
(14:57):
of thousands of so Cal Edison customers could have their
power turned off today. The planned public safety power shutoffs
come because of the wind and the potential for fast
moving wildfires if lines are energized. According to Edison, about
fifty one thousand people have been notified that they are
within areas that could potentially be impacted by power cuts.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Well.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
It was about twelve thirty five yesterday after noon when
Deputy Andrew Nuniez, twenty eight years old. Andrew Nunyez responded
to a call. It was a call of an armed
man threatening a woman in Rancho Cucamonga. This was on
(15:42):
Hollyhowk Drive again about twelve thirty five pm.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Deputies responded there was a call specifically about an armed
man threatening a woman. They were fired on as soon
as they arrived at the scene. Nunyaz was hit once
in the head. He was rushed to Arrow had Rec
Medical Center, but was pronounced dead within the hour. By
about one thirteen now, the suspect was taken into custody
(16:09):
and transported after a crash on the two ten freeway.
Took off on a motorcycle and if you haven't seen
the video yet, he was reaching speeds of one hundred
and twenty miles an hour at least in the ones
that I've seen, and at one point an off duty
officer who happened to be on the freeway basically went
(16:29):
on duty. This was a San Bernardino County Sheriff, Shannon Dkas.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
The pursuit came to a conclusion with an off duty deputy,
sheriff could put himself on duty and conducted a legal
intervention by hitting the suspect on the motorcycle, causing the motorcycle.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
To go down.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
I didn't know any of that happened.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Helicopter footage shows the man colliding with that black sedan
while traveling seventy miles per hour, soaring over the handlebars,
landing on his back. I can't believe if he survived that.
When I watched the video at speed of that collision,
it looked like his head popped off.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Well, he was wearing a backpack, and right before the
impact with this off duty slash on duty sheriff's deputy,
he had reached behind and grabbed a gun and racked
it like he was going to start shooting at somebody,
whether he's shooting at the people that were chasing him
or shooting up ahead. He actually had his hands off
(17:29):
the handlebars.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
When he made contact with the car.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
So he goes up.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
The backpack that he's wearing flies off, and I think
that's what you probably saw.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
I didn't think there was any way that that person
would have survived that.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
No, because we just saw the other day somebody pull
over in a pursuit like that, jumped the center median
and our center divider and then get hit by like
three or four other cars.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
I mean, it would be highly.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Likely that the guy died after an accident, after a
not even an accident, after what the sheriff referred to
as a legal intervention. Now again, at the center of
all of this is the loss of this San Bernardino
County Sheriff's deputy, Andrew Nuniez, who had been with the
department for about six years. He was only twenty eight
years old.
Speaker 7 (18:16):
When we talk about this young man, his wife, two
year old daughter, and the couple was expecting. His mother
and his four brothers and sisters are who have to
live with this, along with the members of his department
who are out there serving with him today.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Sheriffdika said that Nunias was a wonderful father, He was
a wonderful deputy sheriff. He had been serving the Rancho
Cucamonga community for the last five years or so. Obviously,
the guy would be the guy in the crash, the
guy who's accused of shooting him booked.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
For murder upon medical clearance.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Of course, the DIA's Office of the domestic violence charges
could also be filed as part of the original call, and,
as we've seen too many times before, yet another long
procession of law enforcement other first responders, as the body
was transported from the hospital yesterday to the coroner's office.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Just striking with the American flag draped between two fire
trucks as the blue and red lights often on under
the cover of darkness there just completely blanket that procession.
It's a reminder of what people lose when they sign
(19:34):
up to protect these communities. It's a reminder of what
families lose when they have somebody in their family who
signs up to protect communities.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Yeah. Sure, there are a lot of.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Interactions with law enforcement that are by the book, but
there's always a chance that there's crazy on the other
side of that door.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Yeah, and we talked about it. I mean that ins
place like southern California, there are tens of thousands of
contacts with law enforcement every day, but it's this one.
It's these that are the most dangerous and end up
costing lives.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, all right, coming up next, are we talking about
how we're poor?
Speaker 4 (20:20):
Yeah? Why not?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
We're poor?
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Also a plan to clean up Santa Monica. Will tell
you about those big plans what those entail, because it's
a mess of we're in Santa Monica unfortunately, So finally
they might be doing something.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
We, of course, are gonna be watching game four tonight,
Dodgers hosting the Blue Jays five o'clock.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
First pitch. I don't think it's going to go as
long as the last one.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
Hey, Gary, just wondering in your infinite did the Dodgers
actually in.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
That game or didnt lose it?
Speaker 7 (21:08):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Wow, that's a throwback.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
That's like something that's like something a wife would do, right,
Like you said something three weeks ago, and he's bringing
it up now. He might be mad about something else.
He might have been mad about the way you talked
about three I Atlas, but he's going back in the
files and finding out something that he was upset with
you about three weeks ago, and he's bringing it right
(21:38):
back up to the forefront of your relationship.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Freddie Freeman won that game. No, he didn't, do you
mean he didn't?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I mean, yeah, he he scored the walk off, But
that was a collective effort.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
They all won that game. Again, Bullpen won that game.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
I'm not saying that they didn't all have a part
in it for the same reason that the Phillies didn't.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
All have a party.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
But that guy threw the ball to the backstop when
all you had to do was throw.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
It to first base.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
I don't want to get involved with your guys's argument,
but it sounds like you need to sit down and
really listen to each other.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Is that what it sounds like?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Okay, La homeowners, it used to be the thing, right,
invest in a home. It's the best investment you can make.
Buy a home. Stop throwing away that money on rent.
My dad would say, but to what cost?
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Like in La?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Right now, you buy a home and then you have
no money for food, You have no money for anything
else because everything's going towards your house. Payments, your mortgage,
all the things that go along with owning a home, bills, utilities,
all of that, and you're left with nothing, so.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Your house poor.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah, you've got this great investment you're sitting on and
it is a great investment, and you've got rising a
home costs which show you that this is a good investment.
We got no money for anything else, so then what
do you do? New study published by Consumer Affairs found
that LA homeowners are among the most house poor in
(23:14):
the country, landing at number four among major cities.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Obviously, I mean to your point, house poor refers to
somebody who spends a disproportionate amount of their money their
income on housing and they don't have any money left
over for you.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Know, comforts here and there.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
According to Consumer Affairs, the typical household in la earns
just under eleven thousand dollars per month ten thousand and
eight to fifty five per month, but spends more than
thirty five hundred of it on housing costs, which in
that calculation is about thirty two point five percent of
your of your monthly income. And that's if it's a third.
(23:56):
I've always heard that that's a not an awful target.
Somewhere between a quarter and a fee third is what
you could expect, perhaps in a healthy budgeting scenario.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
But you've got to.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Think about what investment you need right now too, Like
do you need that home investment or do you need
to invest in yourself gary, your self care go on.
Maybe you want to afford the serums for your skincare,
you want to afford the therapy that you may need,
You want to afford the vacations that clear your head.
(24:26):
What do you need to invest in at the moment
or is it sitting in your home that you love
and that's.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
All you do?
Speaker 3 (24:34):
And for some people it is yeah, because there is
also that financial aspect of I mean, like you said,
guidance from our parents has always been just get in
the market.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
It always goes up.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
And I remember the first house that we bought in
Seattle for one hundred and twenty thousand dollars or whatever
it was. I was terrified at the amount of money
that that was. Yeah, because you don't I mean, you
can't wrap your head around it, especially if you're twenty three,
twenty four years old. You're going to be paying one
thousand dollars a month for where am I going to
(25:08):
get that money? And then the idea of as you
progress and as you move, as you make more money
in your life, whatever it is, you can incrementally get
larger homes or more value in your home or however
it works, but that you have to get in on
the ground floor. You got to be in somewhere.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Very scary. It's a scary leap to make. It's also
a commitment that was always my problem. I don't want
to commit to a house. It's terrifying, like I'm going
to want that house in a week. Probably not. It
was always odd to me, like I'm committing to staying
at a place, and that's part of the industry. I
mean I moved every year for a series of years.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Yeah, if you.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Grew up in the neighborhood in the small town in
Omaha where Grandpapy used to work on the cattle ranch.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah, Papa, I call them papaw.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
Then yeah, you probably would feel.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Mama and Papa.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
But what's what I found interesting also is that La
trails three other cities in this Consumer Affairs report about
the communities.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
That are the most house poor.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
New York City that makes sense obviously, New Orleans interesting, and.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Hialaya, Florida, where I don't know Florida well enough.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Hialaya. Am I saying that right?
Speaker 3 (26:32):
I have no idea, but that those three cities have
more people who are considered house poor than the city
of Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
How do you spell that? H?
Speaker 5 (26:42):
I A.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Leah l e A H.
