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. But if you want to geek
out over Kentucky and how it handles Senate replacements.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Dork, what a nerd?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Well, it's kind of interesting the way it would work.
If Mitch McConnell died before August third, that would trigger
the process for a special election. Now, he's already retiring
or resigned, right, I mean he died or resigned. Yeah,
But as it stands now, he said he's retiring, so
that means his seat would be filled in November. But
(00:38):
if he dies before August third or resigns, which he
would never do, so that's why I say die, it
would trigger the process for a special election, as opposed
to the governor just appointing somebody in Kentucky. But this
is a new law that was just it was just
put into place in twenty twenty four and it hasn't
(01:00):
been tested through the courts. It could be tossed out.
So there is a massive process that's going to happen
with what's going to happen in Kentucky. If he's going
to die before August third, because you better believe that
that law is going to be tested, because there will
be people that want just the governor to assign the
interim senator and then they have the incumbent tag going
(01:23):
into November. They would still have the election in November, right,
This person would just be a placeholder placeholder.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah, absolutely, but.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
You know that that's an all important placeholding assignment, especially.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Right now with the thin or slim margin that exists
for the Republican control of the.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Gary, Shannon, Shannon, I love you, but please stay away
from the Turkish coffee. Gary. Can you feet her half
calf all day and just let her think that it's
a normal cup of coffee. Sure, last thing we need
is a tweaked out Shannon just going nuts and potentially
getting in trouble. Been a long time listener, and let
(02:02):
me tell you, Shannon, when you get cranked up on caffeine,
dear God, I love it, but dear.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
God, I do like the idea that they think I
am somehow in control of your liquidate.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Right right, like you're gonna slap it out of my.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Own No, Shannon, as a pulp fiction fan, I would
think you would remember the scene where Vincent goes to buy.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
His Heroin at the dealer's house.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah, came in a little twist baggy type. Yes, that's
rights heroin.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
That's right, tar black crap.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, you're right. I remember that scene. I'm shame on me,
shame on me. I should have known how Heroin comes.
It's okay, I'll do better.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
We've learned something today.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Dozens of restaurants and the other little food places around
La County have been forced to close their doors because
health inspectors found some oooh, I mean not necessarily human. Uh,
most of it vermin who rodents, bugs, et cetera. We
had a rat run across our back.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Fence the other night.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I get rats in my house. Rat, Well, there might
be mouses. What's the difference.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Between a rat and a mouse. Rats tend to be
bigger and have long tails.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I get the mouses the mice.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Mice are cute.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
They're cute.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
That's the difference.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
That's why we use humane traps. Say would you like
some peanut butter? And then we trap you and then
we put you.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Outside so that he ends up depositing that digestive mouse.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
That's what it is.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
ABC Donuts down on North San Fernando Road in La Vermin,
a Shiana restaurant in Diamond Bar Vermin.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Again, I'm just gonna say, I have caught these mouths
mice in my kitchen, so my kitchen also has a
vermin infestation. Doesn't mean the food's not good, you know,
at Big Daddy's Kick and Chicken. Doesn't mean the food's
not good there. You just know that there was a
(04:17):
mouse maybe running around there at one point.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
And listen, I'll tell you the very first time I
ever saw a letter grade on a restaurant. Spring break
from college, we spent some time in Palm Springs and
in San Diego with some friends, and we went to
a tiny little Mexican restaurant down in San Diego and
it had a sea on the window.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
That's good stuff, that's good stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
And I asked what that meant, and my friend says,
that means go Mida.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
My husband and I were in Chinatown in San Francisco
years ago, and we were trying to find some good,
authentic Chinese food and we kept stumbling into these places
that were just for white people. And we decided at
that point, you know, we're not going into a restaurant
unless at least has a sea on the front, and
that's what we did.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Now this is and a sea you can stay open
for depending on which county are in. Obviously, sure these
places all had to close for a certain amount of time.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
So they were beyond the sea.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
They were beyond the sea.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
That's too bad. So I would I get a d
on my kitchen if they saw that I had a
rat in there, say last week, or a mouse?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Did you leave the mouse droppings?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Because that's that's what they do. That's what gets you.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, that's what.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I'm cockroaches, things like that, if especially if they're still there,
because I think you're gonna you'd be hard pressed to
be able to open a restaurant anywhere in North America
and not have some sort of creature in there that's
not supposed to be in there. The question is are
you actively trying to keep them out? And then once
you do find them, do you remove the evidence of them.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
There's a Chipotle on the list in Inglewood. Sewage discharge
is the reason Chapotle's had problems before. That's why I
bring it up. Also, it's not a family run business,
which there are a number of these on here, and
I'm not going to out them.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And dollar discharge before you eat, right.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I don't know what that means, and I'm not going
to dig into it. Dollar Tree is also on the
list in el Monty.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
For the Dollar Tree.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, what do you eat the Dollar Tree?
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Et?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Dollar three food?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Maybe some off brand peachio rings. I don't know, Okay,
I assume they've got like candy and snacks right at
the Dollar Tree. I don't know what they have in
terms of like food food items. There's a Panda Express
on the list.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
But come on, what's your expectation?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
That's the what are you doing here? You expect everything
to be clean in these places? Get out of here.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Built up immune system, That's what I say.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
That's every time I see a mouse in my kitchen,
I'm like, thank you.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
There's tension in my house right now. My wife is
taking a food safety class as part of an electric degree,
so she is.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
It's the one thing.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
It's like science coming up against culture when the two
don't agree. And I grew up in a culture where
food safety was an adventure and she is learning that
food safety is more some hard and fast rules about stuff,
and line was much more based in feelings.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Has this led to marital strife or you're like, so
what the chickens one hundred and twenty degrees? I'm eating it?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Just questions?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Don't pop that back in.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
It hasn't.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
It hasn't risen to to to argument yet. But it's
just at this.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Point, the expired milk is on the right side of
the fridge for you, and the good milk is on
the left.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
It's this, Hey, how are you going to eat that rice?
And I say yeah, and she goes, that's like five
days old. That's okay, And I go, isn't it Yeah,
that's about the extent of it so far.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Isn't rice okay though? To be five days old?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I mean according to Food Safety class no, how long
is rice good for reaching the outside edges there? It's
like three to four days? Really, yeah, which I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
It looks like it's completely innocuous.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Listen, Amy, don't don't let science get in the way
of you enjoying leftovers.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I I understand meat being a thing where you got
to toss that, but things.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Like when when do you have to toss that?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I'd give that three or four days and get rid
of it. I know you'd give it three weeks. As
long as it's not growing stuff, it's good, right. You
just smell it well when it's growing stuff. This is
what I've learned. Smell your meat and smell your milk.
You can tell when it's bad.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
When it's growing stuff, it's obvious that something's wrong. It's
right before it grows, it visibly that there may be
some issues. But then against if I have, if I
have the gut biome of a Haitian street dog, then
I'll bring it on which you do.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I would feed you. I'd have no problem feeding you
expired bad food.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
It's nice.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Again, it's not that we are in control of each
other's food and water. But if we were, if we were,
all right, Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Little fire burning up in the Silmar area. So if
you're on I five headed north up out of the valley,
actually if you're coming back down into the valley, it
looks like the northbound lanes are actually closed right now
at just as you start to enter that new Hall
Pass where say the truck lanes are where the old
(09:47):
road goes up underneath the freeway. There there's some construction
that they've been doing along that side of the freeway,
on the right side of the freeway, so between the
old road and the freeway itself sort of a hillside,
so's where that's why the road is blocked right now.
While you're seeing some smoke in that area, but it
doesn't look like it's doesn't look like it's spreading too big.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I saw an accident on the freeway on the two
ten yesterday.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I just drove away, just like Paul Pelosi. You're just like, I.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Didn't move well, I didn't hit anyone, but it was
that it was that accident that you fear, or at
least I fear. Traffic had stopped. This was the number
one lane, not the car pull lane, but the number
one lane, and traffic had stopped when naturally it would
be moving at this time of day, but it had stopped,
and everyone stopped in the number one lane, number two,
(10:36):
number three, number four kind of moving but not very fast.
And all of a sudden, and I'm in the number
three lane, and I see the number one lane that stopped,
and all of a sudden, I see a car and
it is not slowing down. And the people that were
the last car in the line in the number one lane,
they know what's coming.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Oh you could see it, and they can see it
in the rear view mirror.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
And this car is doing for already, like I don't know,
it's going fast and it's just going to hit this
sitting duck line of cars. And the car that was
going to be first hit tried to move the last
second when they're like oh man, and tried to move
and boom, and my gosh. The cars are built better
(11:19):
these days. I will say that crashes are not what
they used to be, because when I saw that rate
of speed and the impact that that would be with
a completely stopped car, I thought, oh, this is not
going to be good. And the cars, I mean, it
was like it wasn't bumper cars, but it was damn
near close.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Did it hit the car in front of it? Yeah,
and then yeah, the.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Author was chain reaction. One car ended up facing the
other way and definitely a chain reaction kind of a situation.
But made me feel good about the state of the
safety of our vehicles these days.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
And you have a bigger one than most. You're driving
that truck, So yeah, it's a bigger one. There was
a story a few years ago that we covered this
radiologist out of pass it Den, a guy named darsh
Darmish Battel.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
He has.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
He has had all of his charges dismissed. He was
accused of trying to kill his family when Tesla off
of a cliff along pch Up in San Mateo, Cay.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Remember us covering this story.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
His wife, his four and seven year old kids. Everybody survived,
but the footage that the images of the car having
gone off of the cliff landing down on the rocky
beach below. The first responders were there said it was
an absolute miracle that anybody survived, which turns out to
be a great advertisement for Tesla safety conditions. But it
(12:44):
was January of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
After the crash, multiple psychologists diagnosed him with major depressive disorder,
and in twenty twenty four, the following year, his defense
attorney convinced a court and San Matil to grant him
entry to a mental health diversion program in lieu of
continuing criminal charges. Pursuing criminal charges against him part of the.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
New law that's trying to reduce the prison population, especially
for those offenders who are considered to have suffered mental
health issues, and in his case, his defense attorneys argued
that he was going through a major, an episodic major
depression with hallucinations when he went off the cliff. They
(13:30):
explained to the judge, and I want to make sure
I get this right, that he believed his four and
seven year old kids would have been better off dead
than sex trafficked by kidnappers tied to Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Okay, so that's definitely a delusional mind.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Now, I wish this guy the best. I hope his
family can survive this horri fack incident and the kids
and everything. But he walked out of the courtroom this
week hand in hand with his wife.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, this Monday, the three attempt murdered charges were dismissed.
He complied with all terms of the two year program
while living with his parents in Belmont or in the
Bay area, this fancy area of Belmont. But anyway, uh,
if the kid let me ask you this, what if
(14:31):
everyone died, one of them kids died, listen and part
of them.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Would that still they knew they know their dad hi
to kill them.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Yeah, that's the other thing.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
That's the part.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
You're right, you're right, the wife still being with him
and the children, and could this happen again?
Speaker 6 (14:52):
And it's awful, it's an awful, awful, but they're going
to grow up with even if they're able to convince
their your father was very sick.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
He was very, very sick in trouble. That doesn't compute
to assessment ease.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Is he still taking the kids to basketball practice? Do
you let him take the kids anywhere? And she was
in the car too, so it's interceed. Does dad ever
get to drive the family anywhere again? I vote no.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
The San Mateo County District Attorney, guy named Steve Wagstaff,
has been there.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
For a very long but if he tries to burn
the house down in the middle of the night, he
gets another depressive episode. He I mean, if this I
don't mean to like go after people with mental illnesses,
but if this was capable, if this was if this
was this happened once, yeah, well there's a chance it
happens again.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
And that's why Steve Wagstaff, the DA up there, and
other das throughout the state have argued that this kind
of a case an attempted murder case three counts should
be excluded from this mental health diversion program because it
is serious enough. It's not as if right, Yeah, I mean,
I don't know how it would manifest itself short of
(16:07):
an attempted murder. If he believed that his kids would
be better off dead than sex trafficked by people connected
to Jeffrey Epstein. How do you convince a guy like
that not to kill us?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
How also do you fix that? How else do you
fix that? Period? Again, I don't know anything about mental
health treatment, treatment, but clearly I don't know anything about it,
but that is that is a wild thing to watch.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
He says he'll continue his treatment.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
I mean, can you I'll watch that show, I'll read
that book. Can you imagine the parents yapping and the
pickup line, Oh, there's a dad that tried to kill
his whole family dropping the kids off?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Man, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Freakin Gary who eats a dollar tree?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Me? Uh? Have you seen the isle of snacks?
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Freaking Gary?
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Oh, I'm Gary.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Let them eat cake. We did mention they have snacks there?
I said, snacks snacks. They got a frozen foods and
snacks and things, but just not like fresh. I don't
ever see the like seven eleven rotisseri, you know, with
the hot dogs and things at the dollar store.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
They do have sometimes produce depending on where they are, true,
and I wouldn't necessarily use the word fresh to describe it,
but they've got it.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
When's the last time you were in a dollar store
looking at the produce ps. That's why I said, let
them eat cake. Apparently we're two tonight. Yes, we are
very foo food. You and I.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Let's just say I eat old expired food.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Yeah, Gary is okay? Uh. The show Hey a Tawny

Game Bobblehead Part two.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Airlines are doing just fine.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
I know that every six months, nine months, it seems
like somebody puts out an article that suggests that how
are the airlines going to cope with this latest downturn
in travel? We're okay, and the big ones think American
Airlines united in Delta. They have rejiggered their seating over
(18:41):
the course of the last few years to put more
of a premium on those premium travelers. For example, airlines
used to fill their empty first class seats. Not everybody
would would fly first class.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
They used to.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Fill those by giving the most most loyal frequent flyers
a free upgrade to first class. And then they realized
they were leaven money on the table. You could bump
up the price a little bit and entice some of
those otherwise utility passengers into first class, those coach passengers
to get them up there, and realized that they unlocked
(19:22):
a demand that airlines hadn't fully recognized, that travelers could
trade up, that you could pay a little bit more
and get a bigger upgrade. You see that now on
a smaller scale, but Southwest is the most frequent airline.
iFly you can pay an extra ten bucks and sit
next to the thing, whether it's the window or the aisle,
(19:44):
or maybe have an.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Extra legroom rose I noticed exactly.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
So while this was starting, we're starting to see this
change where you'd bump up little seat prices to get
people closer to the front of the plane or whatever comes.
The PA pandemic and all of this business travel we
see get replaced by zoom calls and Microsoft teams meetings
and things like that, and airlines are trying to figure
(20:09):
out would they ever be able to replicate what they
saw emerging in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, and twenty twenty. Instead,
what they figured out was people were so excited to
travel for leisure that they could put a premium on
that sort of stuff. Premium seats, premium perks, et cetera.
(20:33):
Premium demand, they say, is now a fixture of all
of the quarter quarterly earnings calls that we see with airlines,
and they tout their premium revenue is one of the
reasons why they have been as successful. And one of
The Writer's former Delta president said, when you think about
what's different or what's changed over the last ten or
(20:54):
fifteen years in airlines, the premium products used to be
the lost leaders. Now they're the highest margin products, and
that should be the headline the premium cabin, for example.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Well, if people are gonna want to throw away money
in flight, let them throw away money in flight.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
It's funny though.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
We're gonna do this topic as one of the weekend
podcast episodes about the lack of decorum decorum, thank you
in air airports. And I wonder if this is you
don't even have to You do not have to dress
well to sit in first class. I think everybody's probably
seen that if you've flown across the country or to
(21:33):
a different different country, you don't have to dress well.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
That's not a requirement.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Thirty years ago, it was an expectation, but it definitely
not something The airline's not going to turn you away
unless you're wearing a sorry, unless you're wearing a shirt
that might suggest that you have it's feed in time
or something. I don't know. Delta's new first class lounge
can resemble an upscale restaurant.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
But you don't have to look at me right in
the eye every time you refer to what you refer
to as feeding time. You can look away, you can
look down. You don't have to look at me and
mouth the words feeding time.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
But there are.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
There are entire airplanes now that are being ordered by
these airplanes with the new seating configuration to maximize the
number of high priced seats and sweeps.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Listen, listen to this United's newest business class cubicles at
oversize twenty seven inch entertainment screens, caviat service, luxury skin
care products, and a multi course dining on long haul
international services. The airline has revamped its menus to feature
flavors and dishes inspired by cities across its now work.
(23:00):
Marie Antoinette would feel very comfortable on any of these
big three airlines these days, according to William mcgahey, a
Senior Fellow for Aviation at the American Economic Liberties Project.
But instead of saying let them eat cake like Gary
does in the back of the plane, she would say
let them eat bis coughs. Those are deltas cookies.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
I think, all right, all of that to say, yeah,
are you just not going to look at me for
the rest of the show. You have no idea how
much I'm avoiding eye content. I might build a wall
between us.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Not just make sure you construct it using food.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
We've done this topic before. It's worth revisiting. People using
panic pouches.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Also, did you hear about Ryan Seacrest? You know every
buddy was at the Taylor Travis Kelcey wedding right. All
the stars came out right, and in fact, you know
former players that played with with Travis Travis like one
of them. I think Will Compton's the only one is like,
where was my invite? It's crazy like everyone was in
all the stars. If you're anybody was invited the same.
(24:18):
You haven't heard about anyone declining? Have you? Like? Who
sent that RSVP back?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
No, can't make it.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
No, I don't think Ryan seacrested. Really, I'll tell you
that story too.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
The Emmy nominations are in. We are going to have
Mriska Hargitay as the host of the of the Emmys.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Oh really, we should do a little bit of what
you're watching Wednesday coming up later on. I would love
to do that. What it is that you've been watching?
We haven't done it in a while.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Yeah, let us know. I need a show. I was
talking to Elmer and Matt about this before the show.
I I watched a little I'm catching up with the
Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, making my way through
that that mess of fun. Watched a little bit about
that yesterday afternoon, and then I watched a little Love Island,
and I had a serious talk with myself if we
need to think about the content we are consuming, what
(25:15):
are we eating? What are we doing?
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Yeah, I've started and stopped a couple of a couple
of series over the last couple of days.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Yeah I'm not happy.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
I mean totally looking forward to a couple that are
coming up, but right now it seems could be kind
of a dead spot. We'll talk about that. Let us
know what you're watching. You can leave us a talkback
on the iHeart app. Just hit that little red button
with a white microphone and let us know.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Briefly. Ryan Seacrest was invited to the Taylor Swift Travis
Kelsey wedding, and what a flex to turn them down.
What a flex to say no to the event of
the century.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Quite a move, But.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
That was exactly what it was. Because Disney hired Ryan
Seacrest to host There in America two fifty celebration or
what have you.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
That's where I saw him.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
So that's why he said no to I mean Ryan Seacrest,
say what you will about him, if you say anything.
Everyone loves Ryan Seacrest. But that man is not afraid
of work. Well, he is a hard worker. He is.
There's not a job he seems to turn down.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
He is not afraid of a packed schedule, right, And
I'm surprised that those would be in conflict.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
But that's great, I mean, good for him.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
We've talked about panic pouches before. Wall Street Journal did
an article about panic pouches. Think to yourself, a pouch, backpack, purse,
or something like that, with something to distract you from anxiety.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
I'll give you an example.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Ten year old Jay out of New Jersey is a
fifth grade student, brings with him to school a panic pouch.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
I was just going to say one of my girlfriends, sure,
kids are I want to say fourteen twelve around there,
maybe fifteen thirteen. And she says that the whole class
when she goes into the classroom, the whole class has
these like squeeze toys that are supposed to ward off
anxiety at the desks. Anyway, go on, he.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Has one of those. Jay out of New Jersey, I.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Love your contempt for that it has a stress ball
shaped like poop. He has a magnetic clump of rocks
in a tin, gummy like earthworms for wrapping around my fingers,
the old fashioned fidget spinner, and then a toy with
buttons that pop in and out.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Why are you angry?
Speaker 2 (27:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Twenty two year old is Abella out of Glendora. She
uses her Panic pouch three or four times a day.
She has a mini magnet Ball's toy sour candies. She says,
the sour taste directs my brain when I distracts my
brain when I start to feel asious, Lavender essential oil
(28:00):
ill a portable fan for when Isabella gets anxious.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
She tends to get hot.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
These are rich kids, dissolvable anti anxiety strips, and then
a rosary and Bible versus. Oh okay, well that's always
nice to have.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Let's go up in age, shall we. Forty seven year
old Elaney out of Athens Grease. She has cuticle cream,
a small hair brush and ashwagandha stress reducing pills. That
sounds like a just a purse.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
I need all of those things. Yes, exactly, you're right.
That does sound just like a person.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Here's the other one Holly Siegel out of Long Island,
New York. Also a forty four year old. She's a writer.
She uses her Panic pouch about once a week on
the Long Island Railroad when I can't when I get
stuck in Runkonkama with no charger. She hand sanitizer, antibacterial wipes, tissues,
battery charger, corded headphones, various crystals, and nausea medication.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yes, yeah, right, a purse. Yeah. See, we're just labeling
things different differently, You're right. I mean when I did
carry a purse, I used to have everything in there.
Every girl back when I was a girl.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Yeah, And we encourage people to find.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Gives us, you know, it gives us. You feel like
you've got everything that you need that you could possibly
need in there.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
But in the event that you forget your Panic purse,
what do you do if your ten year old jay?
Speaker 1 (29:37):
No? No, but isn't it better that they have squeeze
toys and not you know, klonopin.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Yeah, but isn't that the next step?
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Maybe not?
Speaker 3 (29:45):
You're telling people that maybe they don't need it. You've
got to have an outside thing to reduce your own anxiety.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
But if it works for them, if.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
They can, if they can, because they're not always going
to have it. Why Dumble's not always going to have
his his feather? When do you still gotta fly? When
did you start hating children?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Let's see?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Uh and just women and others listen. Just because you're
strong and your nervous system does not react to things,
you don't know what it's like.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I often felt like, you know what I could if
if I believed in having a panic attack, I could
take one small step and take any of the lean
into it.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Yeah, but I don't. I mean I don't. I do
believe in them. That's not what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
I don't want to, so I will talk my way
out of it to myself.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Do you think that the fact that you're commercial for
dissolving your own earwax? What did you?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
What is happening?
Speaker 1 (30:49):
I would also just like to say pouch now for
I would also just like to say on that you
have a lot of things that give you comfort as hoarder,
that once we start throwing things away sometimes.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
You get a little that would over the edge.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
When you think about your T shirt drawer being weeded out,
you feel a.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Little I'm never telling you which one is my T
shirt drawer. On the off chance that you would sneak.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Up to here just to trigger a panic attack.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Yeah, just take out like five, I totally would.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Big eleven o'clock hour, including what you watch on Wednesday,
is coming up. Gary and Shannon will continue right after this.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
This is KFI.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to noon every Monday through Friday, and
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
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. But if you want to geek
out over Kentucky and how it handles Senate replacements.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Dork, what a nerd?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Well, it's kind of interesting the way it would work.
If Mitch McConnell died before August third, that would trigger
the process for a special election. Now, he's already retiring
or resigned, right, I mean he died or resigned. Yeah,
But as it stands now, he said he's retiring, so
that means his seat would be filled in November. But
(00:38):
if he dies before August third or resigns, which he
would never do, so that's why I say die, it
would trigger the process for a special election, as opposed
to the governor just appointing somebody in Kentucky. But this
is a new law that was just it was just
put into place in twenty twenty four and it hasn't
(01:00):
been tested through the courts. It could be tossed out.
So there is a massive process that's going to happen
with what's going to happen in Kentucky. If he's going
to die before August third, because you better believe that
that law is going to be tested, because there will
be people that want just the governor to assign the
interim senator and then they have the incumbent tag going
(01:23):
into November. They would still have the election in November, right,
This person would just be a placeholder placeholder.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Yeah, absolutely, but.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
You know that that's an all important placeholding assignment, especially.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Right now with the thin or slim margin that exists
for the Republican control of the.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Gary, Shannon, Shannon, I love you, but please stay away
from the Turkish coffee. Gary. Can you feet her half
calf all day and just let her think that it's
a normal cup of coffee. Sure, last thing we need
is a tweaked out Shannon just going nuts and potentially
getting in trouble. Been a long time listener, and let
(02:02):
me tell you, Shannon, when you get cranked up on caffeine,
dear God, I love it, but dear.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
God, I do like the idea that they think I
am somehow in control of your liquidate.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Right right, like you're gonna slap it out of my.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Own No, Shannon, as a pulp fiction fan, I would
think you would remember the scene where Vincent goes to buy.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
His Heroin at the dealer's house.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah, came in a little twist baggy type. Yes, that's
rights heroin.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
That's right, tar black crap.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, you're right. I remember that scene. I'm shame on me,
shame on me. I should have known how Heroin comes.
It's okay, I'll do better.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
We've learned something today.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Dozens of restaurants and the other little food places around
La County have been forced to close their doors because
health inspectors found some oooh, I mean not necessarily human. Uh,
most of it vermin who rodents, bugs, et cetera. We
had a rat run across our back.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Fence the other night.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I get rats in my house. Rat, Well, there might
be mouses. What's the difference.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Between a rat and a mouse. Rats tend to be
bigger and have long tails.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I get the mouses the mice.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Mice are cute.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
They're cute.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
That's the difference.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
That's why we use humane traps. Say would you like
some peanut butter? And then we trap you and then
we put you.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Outside so that he ends up depositing that digestive mouse.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
That's what it is.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
ABC Donuts down on North San Fernando Road in La Vermin,
a Shiana restaurant in Diamond Bar Vermin.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Again, I'm just gonna say, I have caught these mouths
mice in my kitchen, so my kitchen also has a
vermin infestation. Doesn't mean the food's not good, you know,
at Big Daddy's Kick and Chicken. Doesn't mean the food's
not good there. You just know that there was a
(04:17):
mouse maybe running around there at one point.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
And listen, I'll tell you the very first time I
ever saw a letter grade on a restaurant. Spring break
from college, we spent some time in Palm Springs and
in San Diego with some friends, and we went to
a tiny little Mexican restaurant down in San Diego and
it had a sea on the window.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
That's good stuff, that's good stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
And I asked what that meant, and my friend says,
that means go Mida.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
My husband and I were in Chinatown in San Francisco
years ago, and we were trying to find some good,
authentic Chinese food and we kept stumbling into these places
that were just for white people. And we decided at
that point, you know, we're not going into a restaurant
unless at least has a sea on the front, and
that's what we did.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Now this is and a sea you can stay open
for depending on which county are in. Obviously, sure these
places all had to close for a certain amount of time.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
So they were beyond the sea.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
They were beyond the sea.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
That's too bad. So I would I get a d
on my kitchen if they saw that I had a
rat in there, say last week, or a mouse?
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Did you leave the mouse droppings?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Because that's that's what they do. That's what gets you.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, that's what.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I'm cockroaches, things like that, if especially if they're still there,
because I think you're gonna you'd be hard pressed to
be able to open a restaurant anywhere in North America
and not have some sort of creature in there that's
not supposed to be in there. The question is are
you actively trying to keep them out? And then once
you do find them, do you remove the evidence of them.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
There's a Chipotle on the list in Inglewood. Sewage discharge
is the reason Chapotle's had problems before. That's why I
bring it up. Also, it's not a family run business,
which there are a number of these on here, and
I'm not going to out them.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And dollar discharge before you eat, right.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I don't know what that means, and I'm not going
to dig into it. Dollar Tree is also on the
list in el Monty.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
For the Dollar Tree.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, what do you eat the Dollar Tree?
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Et?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Dollar three food?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Maybe some off brand peachio rings. I don't know, Okay,
I assume they've got like candy and snacks right at
the Dollar Tree. I don't know what they have in
terms of like food food items. There's a Panda Express
on the list.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
But come on, what's your expectation?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
That's the what are you doing here? You expect everything
to be clean in these places? Get out of here.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Built up immune system, That's what I say.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
That's every time I see a mouse in my kitchen,
I'm like, thank you.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
There's tension in my house right now. My wife is
taking a food safety class as part of an electric degree,
so she is.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
It's the one thing.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
It's like science coming up against culture when the two
don't agree. And I grew up in a culture where
food safety was an adventure and she is learning that
food safety is more some hard and fast rules about stuff,
and line was much more based in feelings.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Has this led to marital strife or you're like, so
what the chickens one hundred and twenty degrees? I'm eating it?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Just questions?
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Don't pop that back in.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
It hasn't.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
It hasn't risen to to to argument yet. But it's
just at this.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Point, the expired milk is on the right side of
the fridge for you, and the good milk is on
the left.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
It's this, Hey, how are you going to eat that rice?
And I say yeah, and she goes, that's like five
days old. That's okay, And I go, isn't it Yeah,
that's about the extent of it so far.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Isn't rice okay though? To be five days old?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I mean according to Food Safety class no, how long
is rice good for reaching the outside edges there? It's
like three to four days? Really, yeah, which I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
It looks like it's completely innocuous.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Listen, Amy, don't don't let science get in the way
of you enjoying leftovers.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
I I understand meat being a thing where you got
to toss that, but things.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Like when when do you have to toss that?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
I'd give that three or four days and get rid
of it. I know you'd give it three weeks. As
long as it's not growing stuff, it's good, right. You
just smell it well when it's growing stuff. This is
what I've learned. Smell your meat and smell your milk.
You can tell when it's bad.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
When it's growing stuff, it's obvious that something's wrong. It's
right before it grows, it visibly that there may be
some issues. But then against if I have, if I
have the gut biome of a Haitian street dog, then
I'll bring it on which you do.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I would feed you. I'd have no problem feeding you
expired bad food.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
It's nice.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Again, it's not that we are in control of each
other's food and water. But if we were, if we were,
all right, Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Little fire burning up in the Silmar area. So if
you're on I five headed north up out of the valley,
actually if you're coming back down into the valley, it
looks like the northbound lanes are actually closed right now
at just as you start to enter that new Hall
Pass where say the truck lanes are where the old
(09:47):
road goes up underneath the freeway. There there's some construction
that they've been doing along that side of the freeway,
on the right side of the freeway, so between the
old road and the freeway itself sort of a hillside,
so's where that's why the road is blocked right now.
While you're seeing some smoke in that area, but it
doesn't look like it's doesn't look like it's spreading too big.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I saw an accident on the freeway on the two
ten yesterday.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
I just drove away, just like Paul Pelosi. You're just like, I.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Didn't move well, I didn't hit anyone, but it was
that it was that accident that you fear, or at
least I fear. Traffic had stopped. This was the number
one lane, not the car pull lane, but the number
one lane, and traffic had stopped when naturally it would
be moving at this time of day, but it had stopped,
and everyone stopped in the number one lane, number two,
(10:36):
number three, number four kind of moving but not very fast.
And all of a sudden, and I'm in the number
three lane, and I see the number one lane that stopped,
and all of a sudden, I see a car and
it is not slowing down. And the people that were
the last car in the line in the number one lane,
they know what's coming.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Oh you could see it, and they can see it
in the rear view mirror.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
And this car is doing for already, like I don't know,
it's going fast and it's just going to hit this
sitting duck line of cars. And the car that was
going to be first hit tried to move the last
second when they're like oh man, and tried to move
and boom, and my gosh. The cars are built better
(11:19):
these days. I will say that crashes are not what
they used to be, because when I saw that rate
of speed and the impact that that would be with
a completely stopped car, I thought, oh, this is not
going to be good. And the cars, I mean, it
was like it wasn't bumper cars, but it was damn
near close.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Did it hit the car in front of it? Yeah,
and then yeah, the.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Author was chain reaction. One car ended up facing the
other way and definitely a chain reaction kind of a situation.
But made me feel good about the state of the
safety of our vehicles these days.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
And you have a bigger one than most. You're driving
that truck, So yeah, it's a bigger one. There was
a story a few years ago that we covered this
radiologist out of pass it Den, a guy named darsh
Darmish Battel.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
He has.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
He has had all of his charges dismissed. He was
accused of trying to kill his family when Tesla off
of a cliff along pch Up in San Mateo, Cay.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Remember us covering this story.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
His wife, his four and seven year old kids. Everybody survived,
but the footage that the images of the car having
gone off of the cliff landing down on the rocky
beach below. The first responders were there said it was
an absolute miracle that anybody survived, which turns out to
be a great advertisement for Tesla safety conditions. But it
(12:44):
was January of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
After the crash, multiple psychologists diagnosed him with major depressive disorder,
and in twenty twenty four, the following year, his defense
attorney convinced a court and San Matil to grant him
entry to a mental health diversion program in lieu of
continuing criminal charges. Pursuing criminal charges against him part of the.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
New law that's trying to reduce the prison population, especially
for those offenders who are considered to have suffered mental
health issues, and in his case, his defense attorneys argued
that he was going through a major, an episodic major
depression with hallucinations when he went off the cliff. They
(13:30):
explained to the judge, and I want to make sure
I get this right, that he believed his four and
seven year old kids would have been better off dead
than sex trafficked by kidnappers tied to Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Okay, so that's definitely a delusional mind.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Now, I wish this guy the best. I hope his
family can survive this horri fack incident and the kids
and everything. But he walked out of the courtroom this
week hand in hand with his wife.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, this Monday, the three attempt murdered charges were dismissed.
He complied with all terms of the two year program
while living with his parents in Belmont or in the
Bay area, this fancy area of Belmont. But anyway, uh,
if the kid let me ask you this, what if
(14:31):
everyone died, one of them kids died, listen and part
of them.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Would that still they knew they know their dad hi
to kill them.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Yeah, that's the other thing.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
That's the part.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
You're right, you're right, the wife still being with him
and the children, and could this happen again?
Speaker 6 (14:52):
And it's awful, it's an awful, awful, but they're going
to grow up with even if they're able to convince
their your father was very sick.
Speaker 3 (15:02):
He was very, very sick in trouble. That doesn't compute
to assessment ease.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Is he still taking the kids to basketball practice? Do
you let him take the kids anywhere? And she was
in the car too, so it's interceed. Does dad ever
get to drive the family anywhere again? I vote no.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
The San Mateo County District Attorney, guy named Steve Wagstaff,
has been there.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
For a very long but if he tries to burn
the house down in the middle of the night, he
gets another depressive episode. He I mean, if this I
don't mean to like go after people with mental illnesses,
but if this was capable, if this was if this
was this happened once, yeah, well there's a chance it
happens again.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
And that's why Steve Wagstaff, the DA up there, and
other das throughout the state have argued that this kind
of a case an attempted murder case three counts should
be excluded from this mental health diversion program because it
is serious enough. It's not as if right, Yeah, I mean,
I don't know how it would manifest itself short of
(16:07):
an attempted murder. If he believed that his kids would
be better off dead than sex trafficked by people connected
to Jeffrey Epstein. How do you convince a guy like
that not to kill us?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
How also do you fix that? How else do you
fix that? Period? Again, I don't know anything about mental
health treatment, treatment, but clearly I don't know anything about it,
but that is that is a wild thing to watch.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
He says he'll continue his treatment.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
I mean, can you I'll watch that show, I'll read
that book. Can you imagine the parents yapping and the
pickup line, Oh, there's a dad that tried to kill
his whole family dropping the kids off?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Man, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Freakin Gary who eats a dollar tree?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Me? Uh? Have you seen the isle of snacks?
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Freaking Gary?
Speaker 5 (17:07):
Oh, I'm Gary.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Let them eat cake. We did mention they have snacks there?
I said, snacks snacks. They got a frozen foods and
snacks and things, but just not like fresh. I don't
ever see the like seven eleven rotisseri, you know, with
the hot dogs and things at the dollar store.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
They do have sometimes produce depending on where they are, true,
and I wouldn't necessarily use the word fresh to describe it,
but they've got it.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
When's the last time you were in a dollar store
looking at the produce ps. That's why I said, let
them eat cake. Apparently we're two tonight. Yes, we are
very foo food. You and I.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Let's just say I eat old expired food.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Yeah, Gary is okay? Uh. The show Hey a Tawny
Greatest Game Bobblehead Part two, Part two your official home
for Baseball's AM five seventy LA Sports. Tonight, your back
to back world champion Dodgers take on the Rockies, first
pitch at seven. Listen on AM five seventy LA Sports
and streaming on the iHeartRadio app live from the gallopin
(18:12):
Ford Broadcast Booth for tonight's show, Hey a Tani Greatest
Game Bobblehead Part two.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Airlines are doing just fine.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
I know that every six months, nine months, it seems
like somebody puts out an article that suggests that how
are the airlines going to cope with this latest downturn
in travel? We're okay, and the big ones think American
Airlines united in Delta. They have rejiggered their seating over
(18:41):
the course of the last few years to put more
of a premium on those premium travelers. For example, airlines
used to fill their empty first class seats. Not everybody
would would fly first class.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
They used to.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Fill those by giving the most most loyal frequent flyers
a free upgrade to first class. And then they realized
they were leaven money on the table. You could bump
up the price a little bit and entice some of
those otherwise utility passengers into first class, those coach passengers
to get them up there, and realized that they unlocked
(19:22):
a demand that airlines hadn't fully recognized, that travelers could
trade up, that you could pay a little bit more
and get a bigger upgrade. You see that now on
a smaller scale, but Southwest is the most frequent airline.
iFly you can pay an extra ten bucks and sit
next to the thing, whether it's the window or the aisle,
(19:44):
or maybe have an.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Extra legroom rose I noticed exactly.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
So while this was starting, we're starting to see this
change where you'd bump up little seat prices to get
people closer to the front of the plane or whatever comes.
The PA pandemic and all of this business travel we
see get replaced by zoom calls and Microsoft teams meetings
and things like that, and airlines are trying to figure
(20:09):
out would they ever be able to replicate what they
saw emerging in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, and twenty twenty. Instead,
what they figured out was people were so excited to
travel for leisure that they could put a premium on
that sort of stuff. Premium seats, premium perks, et cetera.
(20:33):
Premium demand, they say, is now a fixture of all
of the quarter quarterly earnings calls that we see with airlines,
and they tout their premium revenue is one of the
reasons why they have been as successful. And one of
The Writer's former Delta president said, when you think about
what's different or what's changed over the last ten or
(20:54):
fifteen years in airlines, the premium products used to be
the lost leaders. Now they're the highest margin products, and
that should be the headline the premium cabin, for example.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Well, if people are gonna want to throw away money
in flight, let them throw away money in flight.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
It's funny though.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
We're gonna do this topic as one of the weekend
podcast episodes about the lack of decorum decorum, thank you
in air airports. And I wonder if this is you
don't even have to You do not have to dress
well to sit in first class. I think everybody's probably
seen that if you've flown across the country or to
(21:33):
a different different country, you don't have to dress well.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
That's not a requirement.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Thirty years ago, it was an expectation, but it definitely
not something The airline's not going to turn you away
unless you're wearing a sorry, unless you're wearing a shirt
that might suggest that you have it's feed in time
or something. I don't know. Delta's new first class lounge
can resemble an upscale restaurant.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
But you don't have to look at me right in
the eye every time you refer to what you refer
to as feeding time. You can look away, you can
look down. You don't have to look at me and
mouth the words feeding time.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
But there are.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
There are entire airplanes now that are being ordered by
these airplanes with the new seating configuration to maximize the
number of high priced seats and sweeps.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Listen, listen to this United's newest business class cubicles at
oversize twenty seven inch entertainment screens, caviat service, luxury skin
care products, and a multi course dining on long haul
international services. The airline has revamped its menus to feature
flavors and dishes inspired by cities across its now work.
(23:00):
Marie Antoinette would feel very comfortable on any of these
big three airlines these days, according to William mcgahey, a
Senior Fellow for Aviation at the American Economic Liberties Project.
But instead of saying let them eat cake like Gary
does in the back of the plane, she would say
let them eat bis coughs. Those are deltas cookies.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
I think, all right, all of that to say, yeah,
are you just not going to look at me for
the rest of the show. You have no idea how
much I'm avoiding eye content. I might build a wall
between us.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Not just make sure you construct it using food.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
We've done this topic before. It's worth revisiting. People using
panic pouches.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Also, did you hear about Ryan Seacrest? You know every
buddy was at the Taylor Travis Kelcey wedding right. All
the stars came out right, and in fact, you know
former players that played with with Travis Travis like one
of them. I think Will Compton's the only one is like,
where was my invite? It's crazy like everyone was in
all the stars. If you're anybody was invited the same.
(24:18):
You haven't heard about anyone declining? Have you? Like? Who
sent that RSVP back?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
No, can't make it.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
No, I don't think Ryan seacrested. Really, I'll tell you
that story too.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
The Emmy nominations are in. We are going to have
Mriska Hargitay as the host of the of the Emmys.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Oh really, we should do a little bit of what
you're watching Wednesday coming up later on. I would love
to do that. What it is that you've been watching?
We haven't done it in a while.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Yeah, let us know. I need a show. I was
talking to Elmer and Matt about this before the show.
I I watched a little I'm catching up with the
Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, making my way through
that that mess of fun. Watched a little bit about
that yesterday afternoon, and then I watched a little Love Island,
and I had a serious talk with myself if we
need to think about the content we are consuming, what
(25:15):
are we eating? What are we doing?
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Yeah, I've started and stopped a couple of a couple
of series over the last couple of days.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Yeah I'm not happy.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
I mean totally looking forward to a couple that are
coming up, but right now it seems could be kind
of a dead spot. We'll talk about that. Let us
know what you're watching. You can leave us a talkback
on the iHeart app. Just hit that little red button
with a white microphone and let us know.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Briefly. Ryan Seacrest was invited to the Taylor Swift Travis
Kelsey wedding, and what a flex to turn them down.
What a flex to say no to the event of
the century.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Quite a move, But.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
That was exactly what it was. Because Disney hired Ryan
Seacrest to host There in America two fifty celebration or
what have you.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
That's where I saw him.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
So that's why he said no to I mean Ryan Seacrest,
say what you will about him, if you say anything.
Everyone loves Ryan Seacrest. But that man is not afraid
of work. Well, he is a hard worker. He is.
There's not a job he seems to turn down.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
He is not afraid of a packed schedule, right, And
I'm surprised that those would be in conflict.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
But that's great, I mean, good for him.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
We've talked about panic pouches before. Wall Street Journal did
an article about panic pouches. Think to yourself, a pouch, backpack, purse,
or something like that, with something to distract you from anxiety.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
I'll give you an example.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Ten year old Jay out of New Jersey is a
fifth grade student, brings with him to school a panic pouch.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
I was just going to say one of my girlfriends, sure,
kids are I want to say fourteen twelve around there,
maybe fifteen thirteen. And she says that the whole class
when she goes into the classroom, the whole class has
these like squeeze toys that are supposed to ward off
anxiety at the desks. Anyway, go on, he.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Has one of those. Jay out of New Jersey, I.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Love your contempt for that it has a stress ball
shaped like poop. He has a magnetic clump of rocks
in a tin, gummy like earthworms for wrapping around my fingers,
the old fashioned fidget spinner, and then a toy with
buttons that pop in and out.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Why are you angry?
Speaker 2 (27:35):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Twenty two year old is Abella out of Glendora. She
uses her Panic pouch three or four times a day.
She has a mini magnet Ball's toy sour candies. She says,
the sour taste directs my brain when I distracts my
brain when I start to feel asious, Lavender essential oil
(28:00):
ill a portable fan for when Isabella gets anxious.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
She tends to get hot.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
These are rich kids, dissolvable anti anxiety strips, and then
a rosary and Bible versus. Oh okay, well that's always
nice to have.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Let's go up in age, shall we. Forty seven year
old Elaney out of Athens Grease. She has cuticle cream,
a small hair brush and ashwagandha stress reducing pills. That
sounds like a just a purse.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
I need all of those things. Yes, exactly, you're right.
That does sound just like a person.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Here's the other one Holly Siegel out of Long Island,
New York. Also a forty four year old. She's a writer.
She uses her Panic pouch about once a week on
the Long Island Railroad when I can't when I get
stuck in Runkonkama with no charger. She hand sanitizer, antibacterial wipes, tissues,
battery charger, corded headphones, various crystals, and nausea medication.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yes, yeah, right, a purse. Yeah. See, we're just labeling
things different differently, You're right. I mean when I did
carry a purse, I used to have everything in there.
Every girl back when I was a girl.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Yeah, And we encourage people to find.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Gives us, you know, it gives us. You feel like
you've got everything that you need that you could possibly
need in there.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
But in the event that you forget your Panic purse,
what do you do if your ten year old jay?
Speaker 1 (29:37):
No? No, but isn't it better that they have squeeze
toys and not you know, klonopin.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Yeah, but isn't that the next step?
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Maybe not?
Speaker 3 (29:45):
You're telling people that maybe they don't need it. You've
got to have an outside thing to reduce your own anxiety.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
But if it works for them, if.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
They can, if they can, because they're not always going
to have it. Why Dumble's not always going to have
his his feather? When do you still gotta fly? When
did you start hating children?
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Let's see?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Uh and just women and others listen. Just because you're
strong and your nervous system does not react to things,
you don't know what it's like.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I often felt like, you know what I could if
if I believed in having a panic attack, I could
take one small step and take any of the lean
into it.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Yeah, but I don't. I mean I don't. I do
believe in them. That's not what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
I don't want to, so I will talk my way
out of it to myself.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Do you think that the fact that you're commercial for
dissolving your own earwax? What did you?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
What is happening?
Speaker 1 (30:49):
I would also just like to say pouch now for
I would also just like to say on that you
have a lot of things that give you comfort as hoarder,
that once we start throwing things away sometimes.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
You get a little that would over the edge.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
When you think about your T shirt drawer being weeded out,
you feel a.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Little I'm never telling you which one is my T
shirt drawer. On the off chance that you would sneak.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Up to here just to trigger a panic attack.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Yeah, just take out like five, I totally would.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
Big eleven o'clock hour, including what you watch on Wednesday,
is coming up. Gary and Shannon will continue right after this.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
