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.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Did you know what beaver slang for?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
I did?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
You did? Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Okay, I did? I did.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
That's why I laughed like a twelve year old. Ah, yep,
yeah hey. Edmundton Oilers took Game one of the Stanley
Cup Finals with a four to three win in overtime
last night against the Florida Panthers. There is nothing better
in sports than Stanley Cup Finals games that go into overtime.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
There is nothing.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yeah, I excitement. I agree, And if you're there in person, oh,
I can't it. Can imagine hard to take it. And
that's not even somebody who grew up watching hockey. I agree,
or I wouldn't even know how to play. I know
what icing is.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Game two in the Stanley Cup Finals tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
NBA Finals start tonight Indiana Pacers in Oklahoma City against
the thunder. The Red Sox came back to meet the
Angels eleven to nine in Boston last night. Day off
today before the Angels come home and host the Mariners tomorrow.
Dodgers lost to the Mets again six to one yesterday.
They have about a twelve to thirty first pitch today
at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Looks like we'll be meeting with China to settle this
whole tariff mess. At least that's the word out of Washington.
That's where we kick off swamp Watch.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar.
And when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing that lollipops.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
Here.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
We got the real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
The other side never quits.
Speaker 7 (01:34):
So what I'm not going anywhere, so that now you
train the squaw.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by
what has been.
Speaker 8 (01:44):
You know, Americans have always been gone at president, but
they're not stupid.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Whether people voted for you were not. Swamp watch, they're
all counting on them.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
So this phone call that took place, the United States
agreed to hold more trade talks in hopes of breaking
this impasse over tariffs. President Trump took to truth social
and explained the call. With the call with President she
of China, He said, I just concluded a very good
(02:16):
phone call with she discussing some of the intricacies of
our recently made and agreed to trade deal. He said
it resulted in a very positive conclusion for both sides.
Said that they had resolved some issues surrounding the exports
of rare earth minerals that China had recently stopped sending
to the United States. He didn't get into the details
about that.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
So the current tariff level on Chinese imports brought into
the US is at least thirty percent. Now that's down
from the one hundred and forty five percent that Trump
imposed until they had that handshake agreement in Geneva last
month led to that mutual stand down, remember where everything
kind of calmed down a little bit, at least on Wall.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Street that we could see.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Saw China reduce its duties there on US imports down
to ten percent from one hundred and twenty five percent.
And then tensions heated back up again on Friday because
Trump accused China of violating this understanding that they came
to in Geneva, but no specifics, didn't really show the
(03:17):
math there. So then China on Monday levied a similar
accusation against Trump. So it's been kind of ratcheting up
to this phone call. That again, both sides, as I
said earlier, and what I believe is that both sides
don't want to admit that they need each other. They're
both trying to appear the strongest person in the room
(03:38):
before their countries. It's very important for Trump and for
Jijinping to appear to be the most powerful guy in
the room when it comes to America and China. And
so that's why you're seeing this delicate dance between the two.
Who invited who to the phone call? Who set up
the in person meeting that they're going to plan soon.
(04:00):
All of this is very choreographed.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
And then that will extend too whatever you know, lieutenants
are involved in this next round of talks, very high
level trade representatives on our side and their side as well.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
But then where do they do it?
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Who gets to host it, who gets to claim credit
for organizing it in the first place.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Trump publicly chastise elon muss again today. Of course, this
is on the heels of Musk publicly going after the
legislative agenda in Washington of Trump and the Republicans, the
President was with the German Chancellor, as we mentioned, Frederick
Murrs at the White House today and Trump said during
this meeting that he was surprised and disappointed by Musk's attacks.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
I've always liked Elon and as ours, very surprised.
Speaker 9 (04:48):
You saw the.
Speaker 7 (04:48):
Words he had for me, the words, and yes.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I said anything about me that's bad.
Speaker 9 (04:53):
I'd rather have him criticized me than the bill, because
the bill is incredible.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Never said it. Listen to what Elon must wrote on
X today. Without me, Trump would have lost the election,
Dems would control the House, and the Republicans would be
fifty one to forty nine in the Senate.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Such ingratitude.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
WHOA that sounds like Trump now start to finish even better.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Elon Musk is using the Trump.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Style, the style of writing where he's using not just
the the sentence fragments to describe your feelings caps. He wrote,
whatever keep the EV solar incentive cuts in the bill
even though no oil and gas substitute or subsidies are touched. Parentheses,
very unfair exclamation point, but ditch the mountain of disgusting
(05:47):
pork in the bill.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Some of those words are capitalized like.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
He's even using the specific social media style that Donald
Trump has.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Has been using fascinating go right after him wow, and
I love his classic I Will unveil myself as a
fifty three year old whatever right, very popular in the
early nineties.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Musk also denied Trump's claim that he knew the inner
workings of the bill better than anybody.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
He wrote false.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
This bill was never shown to me even once, and
was passed in the dead of night, so fast that
almost no one in Congress could even read it.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
The President said about Elon Musk, he hasn't said anything
about bad about me personally, but I'm sure that will
be next.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
What's going on there? This is all it's such juvenile,
But we knew that this.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
No one can shine by a brighter than Trump in
his circle. Once you start getting to a certain level,
you become a target.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
But it seems like Musk is the one who broke
this all up. And I don't know if Trump likes that.
I think that he may miss him. I miss There's
those things we don't know as well, not just all
about the bill, is it.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
We do not know exactly what's going on with this bill.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
There are a couple headlines in different places that suggest
that the One Big Beautiful Bill has technically stalled in
the Senate, that there was a report that some members
of the Senate have already Republican members that, if that is,
have already already said that they would be voting no
on it. Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, said that
(07:30):
he was going to be speaking with Elon Musk by
phone today in order to at the very least get
him to tamp down his very public commentary on it.
Mike Crapo, the Senate Finance Committee chair, had said that
there are at least two likely no votes against the bill,
which means there would just be one more defection and
that would derail the whole thing. And they have a
(07:52):
still still sticking to that July fourth deadline, self imposed deadline,
but the July fourth deadline to get something past.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Gary and Shannon. We'll continue.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Just to put a bow on our swamp watch.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
About Ukraine and Russia, Trump did touch on that to
get again today, I should say peace talks have stalled
there and Trump said today it may be better to
let Ukraine and Russia fight for a while before pulling
them apart, so he's not really.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Disturbed by the number of deaths in that conflict.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Okay, we are following a fire that is burning up
along I five through the Grapevine. It's called the Fort Fire.
They say it's about two hundred and twenty acres. Started
just before midnight last night, and there are some traffic
impacts up and down I five through through the Grapevine area.
At this point, there's a lot of smoke visible, et cetera.
(08:57):
But for the most part, just fire truck in the
area that you're going to see and probably will be
a distraction for most people. We were talking earlier about
crazy exes and the stories that everybody has about somebody
in their past, and you know, the one instance perhaps
that let you know that they are not necessarily stable
(09:18):
when it comes to love and relationships.
Speaker 9 (09:20):
Good morning, crew. Just want to let you know one
of my exes, she always used to tell me to
send her a picture as soon as I got to
her house, send her a picture. Wherever I went to
a location such as a liquor store or Walmart, Target,
you know, all those stores, I would have to send
(09:43):
her a picture. With me being there at that time
that I said, thank you for listening.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
So liquor store, huh, I love that.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
That was the first thing.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I don't trust that you're doing something good like going
to the liquor store.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
You better send me a picture.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
So obviously that person has the shoes with trust, right, trusting.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
You say what you're going to be where you say
you are.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
If my wife had said something along those lines, if
she had come to me and said something I wanted
something about, like hey, prove that you're where you say
you are, that would be a big problem, wouldn't it. Well,
that indication that there's something wrong. There's well, she tracks
(10:26):
you on your phone. She could if she wanted to. Yeah,
well but it's not just she tracks you.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
You you're the family is on each other. Find my
iPhone or whatever or whatever the tracking device is.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yeah, find my friends.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I get crap from my girlfriends for not enabling my location,
like why why isn't your location on? Why why do
you need to know wright? And these are my girlfriends.
It's like I'm creeped out by people that need to
know where I am whatever, whatever, it's just if they
need me feel like I'm in some sort of weird
(11:00):
prison arrangement house arrests thing like why do you know
you to know where I am all the time?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
And if they needed to know where you were, why
couldn't they just call you?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Is it like a worry thing, you know, like my
mom will say call me when you land, to which
the first thought I always have when everyone anyone says
call me when you land. It's my thought is if
there's a plane crash, you know, from Burbank to Oakland,
you'll hear about it.
Speaker 10 (11:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
It's if there's a plane crash in New Deli. It
may take a day or two for it to reach you,
but if my plane goes down, you're gonna know about
it right away pretty quickly, Like you worried that the
plane's gonna go down. And when you get the text
like I'm landed, is that like, oh okay, good, I haven't.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Heard anything parents.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
You know, maybe it's a parent thing where no comfort
thing but comfort thing, but it makes no logical sense.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
You're right, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
I just raised Hi, Gary and Shannon. My crazy ex
was my crazy ex husband had taken the kids to
raging waters out in sandmus. One day he was mad
at me for something I don't remember, but probably wasn't important, right,
But AnyWho came home and couldn't help but to smell
(12:21):
the stench of bleach. Wonder where the bleach was coming from.
Walked into the bathroom, opened the shower door, and all
my clothes were in their bleach.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Whoa wait, I thought he took the kids to raging water.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
He did, That's what she said.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
But but who was bleached?
Speaker 4 (12:38):
He bleached the and then came home like brought the
kids home and oh, I guess took her clothes and
bleached him.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
That's not cool.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
There's somewhere in white, you know. After a labor day Gary.
Speaker 10 (12:51):
And Shannon, I had had enough emotionally, I felt no
longer attached and broke off the relationship. Went to blow
off some steam later that evening with some guy friends
some girlfriends, and she was there stalking me, and later
came home. My door was open, only to find that
everything I'd ever given to her was in ashes on
(13:12):
my bedspread, burning, and even my bedspread hadn't looked like
it had caught in fire.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yeah, burning is a classic go to if you think
you're going to get into a fight with your wife
or girlfriend and then go have fun somewhere. You are
sorely mistaken, Like that's the first mistake, spoken like a
true saying person.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
Aagorian Shannon Carol for Morange County. I've got the craziest
X story. It involves guns, shooting, oh, getting arrested, getting
fired from your job, going to trial. But I'm afraid
to say what it is because he was found not
guilty technically no anyway, and so I don't want to
(13:55):
get sued.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
That's the thing.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
It's like when we tell you someone in prison they've
gone away for something really bad. Most people get away
with stuff, and they get away with stuff time and
time again.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah, it's hard to go to jail, it really is.
Speaker 11 (14:11):
Hey Gary, Shannon David and Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Hey David.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
My mom her second marriage.
Speaker 12 (14:15):
She's married to.
Speaker 13 (14:16):
A guy who out of nowhere. One day he decided
he thought he was Jesus. Tried to smother my sister
with a pillow because he told my mom he could
bring her back.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Luckily, she caught him in town.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
His fine line between a relationship, a close relationship with
God and believing your God as soon as that line
gets blurry, the red flag shoots up.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
I thought it was interesting that he said it was
a decision that the guy made. He decided that he
was Jesus.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yes, also not how it.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
Works, Hi, Garynon.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
My crazy X story is.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
I had a boyfriend that while we were breaking up,
she took me to a restaurant and he gave me
his marksmanship metal that.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
He could in the coast Guard.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Oh said it was the most important thing they ever had.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
You wanted me to have it.
Speaker 14 (15:06):
He also called me and then didn't hang up the
phone in the days when the phone would not.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Just kidding, Ah, that's always fun.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Yeah, tell your current girlfriend you're a really good shot.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I'm a little bit.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I mean it's funny because you know, in a movie
or in a book, when someone says I'm giving you
this it's my most prized possession or whatever, it's so sweet,
But in real life it's always a little like it
seems a little manipulative or I don't know.
Speaker 15 (15:39):
I don't know how, I don't know what you would give.
You would use your kid's baby teeth and give them
my wife and she would immediately throw them away.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Honey, I love you so much. This is my prize
possession of these old baby teeth.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Oh that's nice, Nintendo switch to out today, Mark Saltzman.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
It's like on.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Love Hotel when that one guy falls in love with Luanne.
You needn't fall in love. It was it was too
quick for you to fall in love. You don't know
this person, you know. It's like when you give somebody
your most prized possession and I think he feels then,
I think he wants to have sex with her, like
most men feel when they won't say.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
They love you, telling.
Speaker 11 (16:26):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
I've never been on the receiving end of those things.
So of what men telling me they love me just
so they can have sex with me?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Oh, well, the day is young. We can remedy that
real quick.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Lunch, John Gary Shannon will continue.
Speaker 7 (16:42):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Well, we have talked about all the hype surrounding Nintendo
switch to the pre orders, the people lining up today.
Finally they have hit the shelves. It's where we start
our tech talk.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
The machines are getting smarter.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
This is tech Talk brought to you by Skynet.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Problem.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Mark Saltzman Top of the Afternoon to you, sir, and
are you a Nintendo Switch guy?
Speaker 7 (17:14):
I am.
Speaker 12 (17:15):
I have the new Nintendo Switch too in my grubby
little hands. Yeah, it came out today. I was in
New York yesterday and I saw when I was in
the back of my uber, I saw all these people
lining up outside of game stops and best Spuys and
all that. So, yeah, it looks like it's still in demand.
I mean, Nintendo's got that secret sauce. They just they
(17:36):
know how to create a system that just gets everybody bonkers.
I mean, it's the This is the successor to one
of the best selling game consoles in the history of
the industry. I think the original game Boy was the biggest,
but yeah, so this is the successor. This is it's
whatever whatever made the Nintendo Switch eight years ago, so
(17:58):
sought after. They've improved everything, in my opinion. So a
bigger screen. Oh, first of all, let's just take a
step back. It's called the Nintendo Switch for those who
don't know, because you can switch between a handheld console
and one that you can dock and play on your
big screen TV. You get the docking station in the box,
so that's why I think it's the versatility is one
(18:20):
of the reasons why it had become so popular eight
years ago.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Is there is that way mark to compare that to
compare the computing power that's in a Nintendo switch to
to what other consoles were in the past.
Speaker 12 (18:35):
So Nintendo tends to not play that game. And that's
usually you know, PS five versus Xbox Series X, like,
that's the they go for all that processing power that
It is true that Nintendo has upped its game pun
intended in terms of specs. So it's got twice the
resolution for the screen. It's a better looking screen and
a bigger screen. This is on the device itself. It's
(18:58):
got spatial audio. Now, it's got a fast processor.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
They don't.
Speaker 12 (19:01):
They're kind of mom on the deets, like what exactly
is the processor and how many hurts is it rendering
images and all that, But that's not what Nintendo gamers
tend to want.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
They do have twice the.
Speaker 12 (19:16):
Hurts or the response times and measured and hurts where
it can. The higher the number, the smoother the gameplay is.
So now it's at one hundred and twenty, which doubles
the typical sixty frames per second rate that some consoles have.
But Nintendo plays you know, they march by the beat
of their own drum, and they don't care about what
Xbox and PlayStation are doing. And they've got those exclusives
(19:39):
like you know, those characters like Mario and Donkey Kong
and Princess Peach and Link from the Zelda series. That's
what they want.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
What they have at it, and they are playing.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
A bit of catch up.
Speaker 12 (19:50):
Here is is for the first time, I built in
microphone so you can chat with people who you're playing
with or against, not with you in person. This is
something you've been able to do for years on Xbox
and PlayStation, but Nintendo has this Jena se Qua. They
make it really fun and and almost like a little
wink and a nudge nudge, like when you pull up
(20:12):
your friends pictures or icons on the Nintendo Switch too.
You know, you can see at the bottom of the
screen who's like what they're doing at that time, and
then you can click and then immediately connect with them.
So it's kind of fun, you know, playful, which is
very much in line with Nintendo. The Joycon controllers on
each side of the screen now magnetically affixed to the console.
(20:35):
You don't have to like find I don't know if
your listeners are going to know what I mean, but
there's With the original Nintendo Switch, there were these little
grooves that you had to perfectly align the the game
pads in it and slide it in. So now it
just magnetically attaches just across the board. They made it
so much more fun. And yeah, whether you play with
(20:56):
somebody beside you on the same device or on the
same TV or online, I think they've hit a home.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
Run with this.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
I mean, time will tell, but Nintendo says they expect
to sell fifteen million of these to even I think
that's a conservative estimate.
Speaker 12 (21:09):
Yeah, I think with the tariffs and all that they
were bracing for a higher price. But it's it's it
is what they were expecting at four point fifty for
the regular console and then five hundred if you want
the game Nintendo. It's called Mario Kart Worlds, you know
Mario Kart racing where you can throw bananas on the track.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
And all that.
Speaker 12 (21:28):
It's really fun they have. They made it open a
little bit more open world, so you can even drive
around and not particular you know, partake in a particular race,
drive around with friends like in the desert, look for
secrets and Easter eggs, and take pictures of one another
within the game. So yeah, I think they've they've done
a good job. But at the end of the day,
it's the games that are the most important. So hopefully
there will have it'll have a rich library of games.
(21:51):
It's a little sparse to start, but there's some good
ones coming and parents will like to know that the
Nintendo Switch to plays all existing Nintendo's Witch games, whether
it's a digital download or on a little card a
little cartridge.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
This is a weird trivia thing that I that I
knew about. Doug Bowser is the president of Nintendo America,
and Bowser is King Koopa in the Mario series.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, fascinating.
Speaker 12 (22:17):
So there was a clip of me on The Tonight
Show last week where Jimmy, I don't know, I sent
this to your producer, but I don't know.
Speaker 7 (22:25):
You don't have to play it.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
It's short, but.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Oh my god, of course we will.
Speaker 12 (22:29):
So it's it's it's basically Jimmy Kimmel, right, not fallon.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
I always get those two.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Well, it depends which one. It's Night Show Kimmel, that's Fallon.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
I had.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Like, alike, I get it.
Speaker 12 (22:45):
Yeah, anyway, Jimmy, Fallon is making a joke about he's
he's like kidditzing with the band's leader and says something
about how the pope's name something about his name is
like pizza or something. And then he said and then
the band leader said, and I'm sorry, I forgot his
name too, quest Love. He's thank you, he says, what
(23:09):
what's next? You're going to tell me that the president
of Nintendo of America's name is Doug Bowser because Bowser
is of course a character.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
In the Nintendo world.
Speaker 12 (23:17):
And then you see a clip and then and then
Fallon says, actually, take a look at this. And then
you see me interviewing. I say, we're joined by Doug Bowser,
and it is that is the name of the president
of Nintendo of America. So it's a funny clip. So
all my friends were texting me, going, dude, you're on
the tonight show. I'm like, well, pretty really not really,
(23:37):
but it's cool. It's funny. Yeah, that's funny clip.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Great if they gave those individuals.
Speaker 12 (23:42):
From that, yeah, it wouldn't that be nice. That was
a big setup for not a huge sort of punch now,
And it was fun. It was fine, it was fun.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
You've been on The Tonight Show a whole lot more
times than we have.
Speaker 12 (23:52):
I would love to see Gary, Gary and Shannon on
the Tonight Show.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I think that would be awesome.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
That makes one person, But it takes a journey of
one thousand miles. Takes one person to make a thing.
So the way switch to is four hundred and forty
nine dollars. Uh, that is that seems kind of expensive
for forty nine.
Speaker 12 (24:13):
Yeah, it's inflation. I don't even know how much the
original Nintendo switch was. I think maybe two ninety nine,
going back, you know, eight years, so it's it's a markup.
But PS five and xboxes are not cheap either, especially
with what's going on with tariffs. So and some games
are going to be expensive. I mean this has been
(24:34):
online a lot of people buzzing about this that they
could be as much as you know, eighty ninety dollars.
We could see one hundred dollars games one day, you know.
So times are changing. It's not it's not cheap to
be a gamer these days.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
No got out of that business a long time ago unfortunately,
So hey Mark, thanks as always appreciate your time. Likewise,
thanks Mark Saltzman. Make sure you follow Mark on Twitter
on x Marc Underscore Saltsman with a Z.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Are you ever worried that if you picked up one
of these Nintendo switches that you would just be obsessed
with it?
Speaker 4 (25:07):
I remember how, Yeah, because I remember playing I remember
that games for a long time, right, and how I
could go, I could go hours.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
There's different. There's a difference.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
So seeing a twelve year old boy play that, yeah,
and seeing a fifty two year old boy play.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
That, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Like, it's okay for the twelve year old, right, it's expected,
it's expect even.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
The twenty six year old.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yeah, you could argue, sure, But when you get to
be you know, middle aged, it's different, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
I would love to see I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Maybe there's there's probably tons and tons of I probably
know tons and tons of middle aged people that game
all the time, and I just don't know about it.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
I would like there to be a consciousness. But the switch,
you're out in public with it, right, you can be yeah, yeah,
I just.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Want you to hide it, like if you spend you know,
eighteen hours a day gaming. Cool. I enjoy yourself, but
I don't know if I want to know about it?
Do you? You're looking at me like you do.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
I want each individual person to be aware of what
they're doing.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
That's what I would want.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
What do you mean aware of what they're doing?
Speaker 4 (26:17):
I mean there comes in awakening when you're like, wait
a minute, what just happened to those last five and
a half hours?
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Right? And I didn't even finish the level? Like whatever
you were.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Saying, Like, if you know, Okay, I'm gonna sit down
and play for five hours, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
But if you lose the day and I see.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
What and then just keep thinking about it? I mean
it's literally an addiction for some people. Yeah, that would
be That's not a good thing. And I mean even
being aware of it isn't enough to change it.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
But it's wow. Sorry, great X.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Stories and we come back there should do you should
produce like an intervention show, but for gamers, no, that
sounds awful.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Think of the smells.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI for.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
The Disneyland and Disney World has impact of about sixty
seven billion dollars nationwide, so yes is great and support
about four hundred thousand jobs across the United States. Specifically,
they say that the Disneyland resort had an annual economic
impact of more than sixteen billion dollars here in Southern California.
(27:25):
The directly and indirectly support more than one hundred and
two thousand jobs throughout the entire Southern California area.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
That's, of course they do. Of course it's great.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
President Trump is again banning people from countries that his
administration deems dangerous from coming to America. This travel ban
that was issued yesterday is a kind of a repeat
of an order during the first administration. This version, though,
includes Afghanistan, Me and mar Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan,
(27:56):
and Yemen.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
I love a shout out for Equatorial Guinea. That's always
a crowd plaser. You really don't, would you like your
Jeopardy questions? Since we're talking about the Earth, I'm going
to amend it a little bit because it's so easy.
But there's a part of it that is interesting and
of note, so I'm just going to change it around
(28:19):
Earth Science for four.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Hundred dollars Earth Science four.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
This type of cloud can weigh more than one million pounds.
Think of your types of clouds, cumulonimbus, cumulus, cumulus. Yeah,
you went for the for the fancy, you sure did. Cumulus,
(28:47):
just straight cumulus. You get nimbus, you get a little lighter,
thins out a little bit cumulus, cumulus, nimbus stratus.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
What are some other clouds Cumulo, nimbus.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Right, Well, okay, it's kind of a cheek.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
And one it looked like dragons.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
But did you know that a cuminus cat way more
than one million pounds. I mean, that's why when you
fly through them, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Is that what makes them crazy? Yeah? That they waste
so crazy. Moisture Shannon.
Speaker 14 (29:16):
I had a next back in the eighties. She was
Puerto Rican Colombian, and when we decided to split up,
actually I had to split up with her, she was
so upset.
Speaker 11 (29:28):
A few days later.
Speaker 14 (29:30):
I had these Colombians at my front door. Didn't answer it,
and when they left, they did a dry by and
shot at my corvette with a bunch of bullets. So, yeah,
that was a terrible experience.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
You can't date a girl that's going to cut you
without marrying her, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
Really, let's not forget the old adage by the cow.
There's a complete disconnect between someone's sanity and their and
their ability to love.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
I disagree. I think they can exist together.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Well, I mean that there's a there's a lot.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Of crazy people with an enormous capacity to.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Know why, and I'm saying that.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
That's what I'm saying is sometimes the crazier they are,
the better they do it.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Oh, you're talking about sex. No, not necessarily to repeatedly today. Sorry,
I'm a dude.
Speaker 11 (30:22):
I had a girlfriend, I had a non girlfriend that
wanted to be my girlfriend, and she and her friend
toilet papered my trees and that kind of thing. And
then she persisted that when I became a teacher, she
applied for the job of teacher's assistant, and she got
it not by me, but by the district. And she
kept it up and ended up marrying her and she
(30:43):
was the best thing ever happened to me.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Wait a minute, how about that. That's not crazy.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
That was really how I showed love in high school
by tpeeing your house. If I liked you, I did
a real nice tepee job on your house. Because I
am a small boy. That's how I showed I liked you.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
I was the crazy X.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
And I'll tell you a little quick story as fast
as I can say it. Sick all day. Boyfriend was
supposed to bring me soup, took off with my neighbor.
They didn't come back for hours and hours. Neighbor's wife
and I went looking for him. And where did I
find him? Had a strip joint and he was sitting.
Speaker 10 (31:16):
There just ooga.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
I and the girls there threw it on him, left,
slashed his tires, pull out all the wires, put all
this stuff in his vehicle and said bye bye.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Oh my goodness, slashing tires.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
That's real.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
You gotta be carefully. You can't get caught doing that
kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Well, she was in the parking lot of his strip club.
I don't think she cared. Probably not the first time
they hit someone time.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Also, what do you think he's going to be doing
in this strip club? Signing up people to work at
the charity event.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Over the weekend, and he's doing free immunizations. I don't know.
Speaker 13 (31:51):
Pigre and Shanna, I'm gonna flip this. I was the
crazy X at one point, you know, follow my ex around,
seeing who she's with, who she's calling, and all that
jealous crap. It took me my wife that I have
today to grow up and realize how special she is. Anyways,
(32:13):
have a good day.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
It's nice to know that a guy that you would
file a restraining order on turns out to be in
a nice, healthy relationship in marriage.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
I haven't even better the best one that we have
I'll have to play a little bit later.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Really better than a female KFI host went crazy on
my ass.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
Yes, because that was pretty good. Because this one has
gone on for decades.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Ps.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
I've gotten several text messages from people guessing women that
have worked here that are not our guests, like people
that I had forgotten about that are like go tos
for people.
Speaker 3 (32:47):
That's pretty crazy.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
I was looking at Wired today, Expired, tired, and wired phrases.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Expired, I bought a Tesla.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Tired, I bought a Tesla before Elon went crazy. Wired,
I bought a Rivian now uh. And then there's there's
other things like, let's see here expired buying Alaska, tired,
stealing Greenland, Wired California succeeding. And then there's this one expired,
(34:01):
watching tentacle porn, tired, having sex with monsters in VR,
and wired the thing that's in having sex with monsters
on DMT.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
What is DMT?
Speaker 3 (34:16):
It's a drug?
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Oh it is. Yeah, there's drugs I don't even know about.
Speaker 5 (34:21):
Now.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
See that's what happens when you get old.
Speaker 2 (34:23):

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Did you know what beaver slang for?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
I did?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
You did? Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Okay, I did? I did.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
That's why I laughed like a twelve year old. Ah, yep,
yeah hey. Edmundton Oilers took Game one of the Stanley
Cup Finals with a four to three win in overtime
last night against the Florida Panthers. There is nothing better
in sports than Stanley Cup Finals games that go into overtime.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
There is nothing.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yeah, I excitement. I agree, And if you're there in person, oh,
I can't it. Can imagine hard to take it. And
that's not even somebody who grew up watching hockey. I agree,
or I wouldn't even know how to play. I know
what icing is.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Game two in the Stanley Cup Finals tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
NBA Finals start tonight Indiana Pacers in Oklahoma City against
the thunder. The Red Sox came back to meet the
Angels eleven to nine in Boston last night. Day off
today before the Angels come home and host the Mariners tomorrow.
Dodgers lost to the Mets again six to one yesterday.
They have about a twelve to thirty first pitch today
at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Looks like we'll be meeting with China to settle this
whole tariff mess. At least that's the word out of Washington.
That's where we kick off swamp Watch.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar.
And when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing that lollipops.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
Here.
Speaker 6 (01:29):
We got the real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
The other side never quits.
Speaker 7 (01:34):
So what I'm not going anywhere, so that now you
train the squaw.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by
what has been.
Speaker 8 (01:44):
You know, Americans have always been gone at president, but
they're not stupid.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Whether people voted for you were not. Swamp watch, they're
all counting on them.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
So this phone call that took place, the United States
agreed to hold more trade talks in hopes of breaking
this impasse over tariffs. President Trump took to truth social
and explained the call. With the call with President she
of China, He said, I just concluded a very good
(02:16):
phone call with she discussing some of the intricacies of
our recently made and agreed to trade deal. He said
it resulted in a very positive conclusion for both sides.
Said that they had resolved some issues surrounding the exports
of rare earth minerals that China had recently stopped sending
to the United States. He didn't get into the details
about that.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
So the current tariff level on Chinese imports brought into
the US is at least thirty percent. Now that's down
from the one hundred and forty five percent that Trump
imposed until they had that handshake agreement in Geneva last
month led to that mutual stand down, remember where everything
kind of calmed down a little bit, at least on Wall.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Street that we could see.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Saw China reduce its duties there on US imports down
to ten percent from one hundred and twenty five percent.
And then tensions heated back up again on Friday because
Trump accused China of violating this understanding that they came
to in Geneva, but no specifics, didn't really show the
(03:17):
math there. So then China on Monday levied a similar
accusation against Trump. So it's been kind of ratcheting up
to this phone call. That again, both sides, as I
said earlier, and what I believe is that both sides
don't want to admit that they need each other. They're
both trying to appear the strongest person in the room
(03:38):
before their countries. It's very important for Trump and for
Jijinping to appear to be the most powerful guy in
the room when it comes to America and China. And
so that's why you're seeing this delicate dance between the two.
Who invited who to the phone call? Who set up
the in person meeting that they're going to plan soon.
(04:00):
All of this is very choreographed.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
And then that will extend too whatever you know, lieutenants
are involved in this next round of talks, very high
level trade representatives on our side and their side as well.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
But then where do they do it?
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Who gets to host it, who gets to claim credit
for organizing it in the first place.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Trump publicly chastise elon muss again today. Of course, this
is on the heels of Musk publicly going after the
legislative agenda in Washington of Trump and the Republicans, the
President was with the German Chancellor, as we mentioned, Frederick
Murrs at the White House today and Trump said during
this meeting that he was surprised and disappointed by Musk's attacks.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
I've always liked Elon and as ours, very surprised.
Speaker 9 (04:48):
You saw the.
Speaker 7 (04:48):
Words he had for me, the words, and yes.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I said anything about me that's bad.
Speaker 9 (04:53):
I'd rather have him criticized me than the bill, because
the bill is incredible.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Never said it. Listen to what Elon must wrote on
X today. Without me, Trump would have lost the election,
Dems would control the House, and the Republicans would be
fifty one to forty nine in the Senate.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Such ingratitude.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
WHOA that sounds like Trump now start to finish even better.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Elon Musk is using the Trump.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Style, the style of writing where he's using not just
the the sentence fragments to describe your feelings caps. He wrote,
whatever keep the EV solar incentive cuts in the bill
even though no oil and gas substitute or subsidies are touched. Parentheses,
very unfair exclamation point, but ditch the mountain of disgusting
(05:47):
pork in the bill.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Some of those words are capitalized like.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
He's even using the specific social media style that Donald
Trump has.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Has been using fascinating go right after him wow, and
I love his classic I Will unveil myself as a
fifty three year old whatever right, very popular in the
early nineties.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Musk also denied Trump's claim that he knew the inner
workings of the bill better than anybody.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
He wrote false.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
This bill was never shown to me even once, and
was passed in the dead of night, so fast that
almost no one in Congress could even read it.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
The President said about Elon Musk, he hasn't said anything
about bad about me personally, but I'm sure that will
be next.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
What's going on there? This is all it's such juvenile,
But we knew that this.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
No one can shine by a brighter than Trump in
his circle. Once you start getting to a certain level,
you become a target.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
But it seems like Musk is the one who broke
this all up. And I don't know if Trump likes that.
I think that he may miss him. I miss There's
those things we don't know as well, not just all
about the bill, is it.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
We do not know exactly what's going on with this bill.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
There are a couple headlines in different places that suggest
that the One Big Beautiful Bill has technically stalled in
the Senate, that there was a report that some members
of the Senate have already Republican members that, if that is,
have already already said that they would be voting no
on it. Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, said that
(07:30):
he was going to be speaking with Elon Musk by
phone today in order to at the very least get
him to tamp down his very public commentary on it.
Mike Crapo, the Senate Finance Committee chair, had said that
there are at least two likely no votes against the bill,
which means there would just be one more defection and
that would derail the whole thing. And they have a
(07:52):
still still sticking to that July fourth deadline, self imposed deadline,
but the July fourth deadline to get something past.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Gary and Shannon. We'll continue.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Just to put a bow on our swamp watch.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
About Ukraine and Russia, Trump did touch on that to
get again today, I should say peace talks have stalled
there and Trump said today it may be better to
let Ukraine and Russia fight for a while before pulling
them apart, so he's not really.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Disturbed by the number of deaths in that conflict.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Okay, we are following a fire that is burning up
along I five through the Grapevine. It's called the Fort Fire.
They say it's about two hundred and twenty acres. Started
just before midnight last night, and there are some traffic
impacts up and down I five through through the Grapevine area.
At this point, there's a lot of smoke visible, et cetera.
(08:57):
But for the most part, just fire truck in the
area that you're going to see and probably will be
a distraction for most people. We were talking earlier about
crazy exes and the stories that everybody has about somebody
in their past, and you know, the one instance perhaps
that let you know that they are not necessarily stable
(09:18):
when it comes to love and relationships.
Speaker 9 (09:20):
Good morning, crew. Just want to let you know one
of my exes, she always used to tell me to
send her a picture as soon as I got to
her house, send her a picture. Wherever I went to
a location such as a liquor store or Walmart, Target,
you know, all those stores, I would have to send
(09:43):
her a picture. With me being there at that time
that I said, thank you for listening.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
So liquor store, huh, I love that.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
That was the first thing.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I don't trust that you're doing something good like going
to the liquor store.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
You better send me a picture.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
So obviously that person has the shoes with trust, right, trusting.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
You say what you're going to be where you say
you are.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
If my wife had said something along those lines, if
she had come to me and said something I wanted
something about, like hey, prove that you're where you say
you are, that would be a big problem, wouldn't it. Well,
that indication that there's something wrong. There's well, she tracks
(10:26):
you on your phone. She could if she wanted to. Yeah,
well but it's not just she tracks you.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
You you're the family is on each other. Find my
iPhone or whatever or whatever the tracking device is.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yeah, find my friends.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I get crap from my girlfriends for not enabling my location,
like why why isn't your location on? Why why do
you need to know wright? And these are my girlfriends.
It's like I'm creeped out by people that need to
know where I am whatever, whatever, it's just if they
need me feel like I'm in some sort of weird
(11:00):
prison arrangement house arrests thing like why do you know
you to know where I am all the time?
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
And if they needed to know where you were, why
couldn't they just call you?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Is it like a worry thing, you know, like my
mom will say call me when you land, to which
the first thought I always have when everyone anyone says
call me when you land. It's my thought is if
there's a plane crash, you know, from Burbank to Oakland,
you'll hear about it.
Speaker 10 (11:27):
You know.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
It's if there's a plane crash in New Deli. It
may take a day or two for it to reach you,
but if my plane goes down, you're gonna know about
it right away pretty quickly, Like you worried that the
plane's gonna go down. And when you get the text
like I'm landed, is that like, oh okay, good, I haven't.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Heard anything parents.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
You know, maybe it's a parent thing where no comfort
thing but comfort thing, but it makes no logical sense.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
You're right, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
I just raised Hi, Gary and Shannon. My crazy ex
was my crazy ex husband had taken the kids to
raging waters out in sandmus. One day he was mad
at me for something I don't remember, but probably wasn't important, right,
But AnyWho came home and couldn't help but to smell
(12:21):
the stench of bleach. Wonder where the bleach was coming from.
Walked into the bathroom, opened the shower door, and all
my clothes were in their bleach.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Whoa wait, I thought he took the kids to raging water.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
He did, That's what she said.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
But but who was bleached?
Speaker 4 (12:38):
He bleached the and then came home like brought the
kids home and oh, I guess took her clothes and
bleached him.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
That's not cool.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
There's somewhere in white, you know. After a labor day Gary.
Speaker 10 (12:51):
And Shannon, I had had enough emotionally, I felt no
longer attached and broke off the relationship. Went to blow
off some steam later that evening with some guy friends
some girlfriends, and she was there stalking me, and later
came home. My door was open, only to find that
everything I'd ever given to her was in ashes on
(13:12):
my bedspread, burning, and even my bedspread hadn't looked like
it had caught in fire.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Yeah, burning is a classic go to if you think
you're going to get into a fight with your wife
or girlfriend and then go have fun somewhere. You are
sorely mistaken, Like that's the first mistake, spoken like a
true saying person.
Speaker 8 (13:30):
Aagorian Shannon Carol for Morange County. I've got the craziest
X story. It involves guns, shooting, oh, getting arrested, getting
fired from your job, going to trial. But I'm afraid
to say what it is because he was found not
guilty technically no anyway, and so I don't want to
(13:55):
get sued.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
That's the thing.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
It's like when we tell you someone in prison they've
gone away for something really bad. Most people get away
with stuff, and they get away with stuff time and
time again.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah, it's hard to go to jail, it really is.
Speaker 11 (14:11):
Hey Gary, Shannon David and Kentucky.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
Hey David.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
My mom her second marriage.
Speaker 12 (14:15):
She's married to.
Speaker 13 (14:16):
A guy who out of nowhere. One day he decided
he thought he was Jesus. Tried to smother my sister
with a pillow because he told my mom he could
bring her back.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Luckily, she caught him in town.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
His fine line between a relationship, a close relationship with
God and believing your God as soon as that line
gets blurry, the red flag shoots up.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
I thought it was interesting that he said it was
a decision that the guy made. He decided that he
was Jesus.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yes, also not how it.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
Works, Hi, Garynon.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
My crazy X story is.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
I had a boyfriend that while we were breaking up,
she took me to a restaurant and he gave me
his marksmanship metal that.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
He could in the coast Guard.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Oh said it was the most important thing they ever had.
Speaker 7 (15:03):
You wanted me to have it.
Speaker 14 (15:06):
He also called me and then didn't hang up the
phone in the days when the phone would not.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Just kidding, Ah, that's always fun.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Yeah, tell your current girlfriend you're a really good shot.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I'm a little bit.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
I mean it's funny because you know, in a movie
or in a book, when someone says I'm giving you
this it's my most prized possession or whatever, it's so sweet,
But in real life it's always a little like it
seems a little manipulative or I don't know.
Speaker 15 (15:39):
I don't know how, I don't know what you would give.
You would use your kid's baby teeth and give them
my wife and she would immediately throw them away.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Honey, I love you so much. This is my prize
possession of these old baby teeth.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Oh that's nice, Nintendo switch to out today, Mark Saltzman.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
It's like on.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Love Hotel when that one guy falls in love with Luanne.
You needn't fall in love. It was it was too
quick for you to fall in love. You don't know
this person, you know. It's like when you give somebody
your most prized possession and I think he feels then,
I think he wants to have sex with her, like
most men feel when they won't say.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
They love you, telling.
Speaker 11 (16:26):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
I've never been on the receiving end of those things.
So of what men telling me they love me just
so they can have sex with me?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Oh, well, the day is young. We can remedy that
real quick.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Lunch, John Gary Shannon will continue.
Speaker 7 (16:42):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Well, we have talked about all the hype surrounding Nintendo
switch to the pre orders, the people lining up today.
Finally they have hit the shelves. It's where we start
our tech talk.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
The machines are getting smarter.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
This is tech Talk brought to you by Skynet.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Problem.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Mark Saltzman Top of the Afternoon to you, sir, and
are you a Nintendo Switch guy?
Speaker 7 (17:14):
I am.
Speaker 12 (17:15):
I have the new Nintendo Switch too in my grubby
little hands. Yeah, it came out today. I was in
New York yesterday and I saw when I was in
the back of my uber, I saw all these people
lining up outside of game stops and best Spuys and
all that. So, yeah, it looks like it's still in demand.
I mean, Nintendo's got that secret sauce. They just they
(17:36):
know how to create a system that just gets everybody bonkers.
I mean, it's the This is the successor to one
of the best selling game consoles in the history of
the industry. I think the original game Boy was the biggest,
but yeah, so this is the successor. This is it's
whatever whatever made the Nintendo Switch eight years ago, so
(17:58):
sought after. They've improved everything, in my opinion. So a
bigger screen. Oh, first of all, let's just take a
step back. It's called the Nintendo Switch for those who
don't know, because you can switch between a handheld console
and one that you can dock and play on your
big screen TV. You get the docking station in the box,
so that's why I think it's the versatility is one
(18:20):
of the reasons why it had become so popular eight
years ago.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Is there is that way mark to compare that to
compare the computing power that's in a Nintendo switch to
to what other consoles were in the past.
Speaker 12 (18:35):
So Nintendo tends to not play that game. And that's
usually you know, PS five versus Xbox Series X, like,
that's the they go for all that processing power that
It is true that Nintendo has upped its game pun
intended in terms of specs. So it's got twice the
resolution for the screen. It's a better looking screen and
a bigger screen. This is on the device itself. It's
(18:58):
got spatial audio. Now, it's got a fast processor.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
They don't.
Speaker 12 (19:01):
They're kind of mom on the deets, like what exactly
is the processor and how many hurts is it rendering
images and all that, But that's not what Nintendo gamers
tend to want.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
They do have twice the.
Speaker 12 (19:16):
Hurts or the response times and measured and hurts where
it can. The higher the number, the smoother the gameplay is.
So now it's at one hundred and twenty, which doubles
the typical sixty frames per second rate that some consoles have.
But Nintendo plays you know, they march by the beat
of their own drum, and they don't care about what
Xbox and PlayStation are doing. And they've got those exclusives
(19:39):
like you know, those characters like Mario and Donkey Kong
and Princess Peach and Link from the Zelda series. That's
what they want.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
What they have at it, and they are playing.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
A bit of catch up.
Speaker 12 (19:50):
Here is is for the first time, I built in
microphone so you can chat with people who you're playing
with or against, not with you in person. This is
something you've been able to do for years on Xbox
and PlayStation, but Nintendo has this Jena se Qua. They
make it really fun and and almost like a little
wink and a nudge nudge, like when you pull up
(20:12):
your friends pictures or icons on the Nintendo Switch too.
You know, you can see at the bottom of the
screen who's like what they're doing at that time, and
then you can click and then immediately connect with them.
So it's kind of fun, you know, playful, which is
very much in line with Nintendo. The Joycon controllers on
each side of the screen now magnetically affixed to the console.
(20:35):
You don't have to like find I don't know if
your listeners are going to know what I mean, but
there's With the original Nintendo Switch, there were these little
grooves that you had to perfectly align the the game
pads in it and slide it in. So now it
just magnetically attaches just across the board. They made it
so much more fun. And yeah, whether you play with
(20:56):
somebody beside you on the same device or on the
same TV or online, I think they've hit a home.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
Run with this.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
I mean, time will tell, but Nintendo says they expect
to sell fifteen million of these to even I think
that's a conservative estimate.
Speaker 12 (21:09):
Yeah, I think with the tariffs and all that they
were bracing for a higher price. But it's it's it
is what they were expecting at four point fifty for
the regular console and then five hundred if you want
the game Nintendo. It's called Mario Kart Worlds, you know
Mario Kart racing where you can throw bananas on the track.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
And all that.
Speaker 12 (21:28):
It's really fun they have. They made it open a
little bit more open world, so you can even drive
around and not particular you know, partake in a particular race,
drive around with friends like in the desert, look for
secrets and Easter eggs, and take pictures of one another
within the game. So yeah, I think they've they've done
a good job. But at the end of the day,
it's the games that are the most important. So hopefully
there will have it'll have a rich library of games.
(21:51):
It's a little sparse to start, but there's some good
ones coming and parents will like to know that the
Nintendo Switch to plays all existing Nintendo's Witch games, whether
it's a digital download or on a little card a
little cartridge.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
This is a weird trivia thing that I that I
knew about. Doug Bowser is the president of Nintendo America,
and Bowser is King Koopa in the Mario series.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, fascinating.
Speaker 12 (22:17):
So there was a clip of me on The Tonight
Show last week where Jimmy, I don't know, I sent
this to your producer, but I don't know.
Speaker 7 (22:25):
You don't have to play it.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
It's short, but.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Oh my god, of course we will.
Speaker 12 (22:29):
So it's it's it's basically Jimmy Kimmel, right, not fallon.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
I always get those two.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Well, it depends which one. It's Night Show Kimmel, that's Fallon.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
I had.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Like, alike, I get it.
Speaker 12 (22:45):
Yeah, anyway, Jimmy, Fallon is making a joke about he's
he's like kidditzing with the band's leader and says something
about how the pope's name something about his name is
like pizza or something. And then he said and then
the band leader said, and I'm sorry, I forgot his
name too, quest Love. He's thank you, he says, what
(23:09):
what's next? You're going to tell me that the president
of Nintendo of America's name is Doug Bowser because Bowser
is of course a character.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
In the Nintendo world.
Speaker 12 (23:17):
And then you see a clip and then and then
Fallon says, actually, take a look at this. And then
you see me interviewing. I say, we're joined by Doug Bowser,
and it is that is the name of the president
of Nintendo of America. So it's a funny clip. So
all my friends were texting me, going, dude, you're on
the tonight show. I'm like, well, pretty really not really,
(23:37):
but it's cool. It's funny. Yeah, that's funny clip.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Great if they gave those individuals.
Speaker 12 (23:42):
From that, yeah, it wouldn't that be nice. That was
a big setup for not a huge sort of punch now,
And it was fun. It was fine, it was fun.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
You've been on The Tonight Show a whole lot more
times than we have.
Speaker 12 (23:52):
I would love to see Gary, Gary and Shannon on
the Tonight Show.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I think that would be awesome.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
That makes one person, But it takes a journey of
one thousand miles. Takes one person to make a thing.
So the way switch to is four hundred and forty
nine dollars. Uh, that is that seems kind of expensive
for forty nine.
Speaker 12 (24:13):
Yeah, it's inflation. I don't even know how much the
original Nintendo switch was. I think maybe two ninety nine,
going back, you know, eight years, so it's it's a markup.
But PS five and xboxes are not cheap either, especially
with what's going on with tariffs. So and some games
are going to be expensive. I mean this has been
(24:34):
online a lot of people buzzing about this that they
could be as much as you know, eighty ninety dollars.
We could see one hundred dollars games one day, you know.
So times are changing. It's not it's not cheap to
be a gamer these days.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
No got out of that business a long time ago unfortunately,
So hey Mark, thanks as always appreciate your time. Likewise,
thanks Mark Saltzman. Make sure you follow Mark on Twitter
on x Marc Underscore Saltsman with a Z.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Are you ever worried that if you picked up one
of these Nintendo switches that you would just be obsessed
with it?
Speaker 4 (25:07):
I remember how, Yeah, because I remember playing I remember
that games for a long time, right, and how I
could go, I could go hours.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
There's different. There's a difference.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
So seeing a twelve year old boy play that, yeah,
and seeing a fifty two year old boy play.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
That, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Like, it's okay for the twelve year old, right, it's expected,
it's expect even.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
The twenty six year old.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yeah, you could argue, sure, But when you get to
be you know, middle aged, it's different, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
I would love to see I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Maybe there's there's probably tons and tons of I probably
know tons and tons of middle aged people that game
all the time, and I just don't know about it.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
I would like there to be a consciousness. But the switch,
you're out in public with it, right, you can be yeah, yeah,
I just.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Want you to hide it, like if you spend you know,
eighteen hours a day gaming. Cool. I enjoy yourself, but
I don't know if I want to know about it?
Do you? You're looking at me like you do.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
I want each individual person to be aware of what
they're doing.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
That's what I would want.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
What do you mean aware of what they're doing?
Speaker 4 (26:17):
I mean there comes in awakening when you're like, wait
a minute, what just happened to those last five and
a half hours?
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Right? And I didn't even finish the level? Like whatever
you were.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Saying, Like, if you know, Okay, I'm gonna sit down
and play for five hours, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
But if you lose the day and I see.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
What and then just keep thinking about it? I mean
it's literally an addiction for some people. Yeah, that would
be That's not a good thing. And I mean even
being aware of it isn't enough to change it.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
But it's wow. Sorry, great X.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Stories and we come back there should do you should
produce like an intervention show, but for gamers, no, that
sounds awful.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Think of the smells.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI for.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
The Disneyland and Disney World has impact of about sixty
seven billion dollars nationwide, so yes is great and support
about four hundred thousand jobs across the United States. Specifically,
they say that the Disneyland resort had an annual economic
impact of more than sixteen billion dollars here in Southern California.
(27:25):
The directly and indirectly support more than one hundred and
two thousand jobs throughout the entire Southern California area.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
That's, of course they do. Of course it's great.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
President Trump is again banning people from countries that his
administration deems dangerous from coming to America. This travel ban
that was issued yesterday is a kind of a repeat
of an order during the first administration. This version, though,
includes Afghanistan, Me and mar Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan,
(27:56):
and Yemen.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
I love a shout out for Equatorial Guinea. That's always
a crowd plaser. You really don't, would you like your
Jeopardy questions? Since we're talking about the Earth, I'm going
to amend it a little bit because it's so easy.
But there's a part of it that is interesting and
of note, so I'm just going to change it around
(28:19):
Earth Science for four.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Hundred dollars Earth Science four.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
This type of cloud can weigh more than one million pounds.
Think of your types of clouds, cumulonimbus, cumulus, cumulus. Yeah,
you went for the for the fancy, you sure did. Cumulus,
(28:47):
just straight cumulus. You get nimbus, you get a little lighter,
thins out a little bit cumulus, cumulus, nimbus stratus.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
What are some other clouds Cumulo, nimbus.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Right, Well, okay, it's kind of a cheek.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
And one it looked like dragons.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
But did you know that a cuminus cat way more
than one million pounds. I mean, that's why when you
fly through them, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Is that what makes them crazy? Yeah? That they waste
so crazy. Moisture Shannon.
Speaker 14 (29:16):
I had a next back in the eighties. She was
Puerto Rican Colombian, and when we decided to split up,
actually I had to split up with her, she was
so upset.
Speaker 11 (29:28):
A few days later.
Speaker 14 (29:30):
I had these Colombians at my front door. Didn't answer it,
and when they left, they did a dry by and
shot at my corvette with a bunch of bullets. So, yeah,
that was a terrible experience.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
You can't date a girl that's going to cut you
without marrying her, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
Really, let's not forget the old adage by the cow.
There's a complete disconnect between someone's sanity and their and
their ability to love.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
I disagree. I think they can exist together.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Well, I mean that there's a there's a lot.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Of crazy people with an enormous capacity to.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Know why, and I'm saying that.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
That's what I'm saying is sometimes the crazier they are,
the better they do it.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Oh, you're talking about sex. No, not necessarily to repeatedly today. Sorry,
I'm a dude.
Speaker 11 (30:22):
I had a girlfriend, I had a non girlfriend that
wanted to be my girlfriend, and she and her friend
toilet papered my trees and that kind of thing. And
then she persisted that when I became a teacher, she
applied for the job of teacher's assistant, and she got
it not by me, but by the district. And she
kept it up and ended up marrying her and she
(30:43):
was the best thing ever happened to me.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
Wait a minute, how about that. That's not crazy.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
That was really how I showed love in high school
by tpeeing your house. If I liked you, I did
a real nice tepee job on your house. Because I
am a small boy. That's how I showed I liked you.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
I was the crazy X.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
And I'll tell you a little quick story as fast
as I can say it. Sick all day. Boyfriend was
supposed to bring me soup, took off with my neighbor.
They didn't come back for hours and hours. Neighbor's wife
and I went looking for him. And where did I
find him? Had a strip joint and he was sitting.
Speaker 10 (31:16):
There just ooga.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
I and the girls there threw it on him, left,
slashed his tires, pull out all the wires, put all
this stuff in his vehicle and said bye bye.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Oh my goodness, slashing tires.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
That's real.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
You gotta be carefully. You can't get caught doing that
kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Well, she was in the parking lot of his strip club.
I don't think she cared. Probably not the first time
they hit someone time.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Also, what do you think he's going to be doing
in this strip club? Signing up people to work at
the charity event.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Over the weekend, and he's doing free immunizations. I don't know.
Speaker 13 (31:51):
Pigre and Shanna, I'm gonna flip this. I was the
crazy X at one point, you know, follow my ex around,
seeing who she's with, who she's calling, and all that
jealous crap. It took me my wife that I have
today to grow up and realize how special she is. Anyways,
(32:13):
have a good day.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
It's nice to know that a guy that you would
file a restraining order on turns out to be in
a nice, healthy relationship in marriage.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
I haven't even better the best one that we have
I'll have to play a little bit later.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Really better than a female KFI host went crazy on
my ass.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
Yes, because that was pretty good. Because this one has
gone on for decades.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Ps.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
I've gotten several text messages from people guessing women that
have worked here that are not our guests, like people
that I had forgotten about that are like go tos
for people.
Speaker 3 (32:47):

Speaker 1 (33:31):
I was looking at Wired today, Expired, tired, and wired phrases.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Expired, I bought a Tesla.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Tired, I bought a Tesla before Elon went crazy. Wired,
I bought a Rivian now uh. And then there's there's

stealing Greenland, Wired California succeeding. And then there's this one expired,
(34:01):
watching tentacle porn, tired, having sex with monsters in VR,
and wired the thing that's in having sex with monsters
on DMT.
Speaker 2 (34:15):

Speaker 3 (34:16):
It's a drug?
