Gavin Newsom is considering calling for a special election to allow California voters to decide on new congressional maps. Meanwhile, Democrats have fled Texas to block a Republican redistricting plan that is backed by Trump. The race for California governor has become uncertain following the exit of Kamala Harris, as there is "no obvious front-runner." Additionally, Erik Menendez has returned to prison after being hospitalized and undergoing surgery for kidney stones. Lastly, what was once thought to be just a rumor, LA's secret celebrity tunnel, has been confirmed as workers have discovered it.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M. Six forty, The Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Gavin Newsom is facing some
harsh criticism. He has announced a special election to redistrict California. Now,
the appetite for special elections is a particular appetite.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
You don't just get to make us hungry for one.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
It's got to come from our gut, truly, and we
don't have.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
That for redistricting.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Rarely does a voting bloc have a hunger in their
belly for a redistricting special election. But Gavin Newsom is
so holier than now that he thinks he can make
you hungry for that.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
This is all in connection with what's going on in Texas,
which is actually the one that's generating the headlines. But
Gavin Newsom is definitely one of the Democratic governors who
is fighting back. Now in Texas, they're trying to read district. Usually,
you district every ten years after the census determines how
many seats in Congress your state gets. But redistricting, as
(01:09):
we've seen it abused hundreds of times over the last
few over the last century, if you read district, you
can kind of fudge the numbers a little bit and
either guarantee that that representative is going to be Democrat
or that representative is going to be Republican. And that's
what they want to do in Texas, to beef up
the number of Republicans in Congress.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
So it's dirty on its face. It's also very expensive.
The special election would cost the state hundreds of millions
of taxpayer dollars. Just the number of hurdles in terms
of the cost alone is a problem. And then like
I said that the appetite for this kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah, he spoke, Gavin Newsom did last week about this,
and we don't have to play the whole thing because
it's interrupted by a fire truck which he tries to
use to his advantage poorly. But he says that the
rules of politics are are not it's not that they've changed,
it's that they're being ignored.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Now we have does this and throw ourselves that that's the.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
That's also all disenthrall ourselves.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Does he have one of those little books where you know,
there's like a set of cards for the prefix and
then like a set of words. It's like a vocabulary
tool they use for kit Actually, you know what, he
did have some issues in school, so I will not
make that joke.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
But that's why he's a big numbers guy. I don't
know if that's a big word thing for him, because
he's talked about his dyslexia and that's he's he's really
good at remembering a lot of numbers. Hit me with
that word again, dis what disenthralled?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
We have to throw ourselves that that's the case. Not
with Donald Trump, Not when he made a call to
the governor of Texas and talked about finding five additional
seats so that he can try to hold the line
and maintain the majority in the House of Representatives.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
The game this isn't your lane, Gavin.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Redistricting is something that points zero zero three percent of
the population pay attention to and using words like disenthrall
also not a lane you want to be driving your tesla.
And because here's the problem, no one in moderate Michigan
is going to be wooed by a Democrat from California
(03:28):
using a word like disenthrall. Right, just say, hey, we
need to forget about X, Y or Z.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
It's one of those things That's also weird because in California,
the ratio of Democrats to Republicans in terms of our
congressional representation does not match even voter roles in terms
of Republican registrate registrants. I have to disenthrall myself trying
(03:58):
to use the exact word, but it doesn't match. And
then Congressman Kevin Kylie responded to this on the floor
of the House as well there and he said this thing.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
The governor would like to reduce the representation of Republicans
in Congress in our state to three members out of
fifty two, so that Republicans will hold six percent of
the seats, even though Republicans typically get over forty percent
of the vote in statewide elections. It could be the
(04:31):
single most egregious act of corruption in the history of
our state because don't forget.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Don't forget one of the things that Gavin Newsom pushed
for and God was an independent citizen run commission to
do just that, to decide on district boundaries. And now
he wants to go back on that, rip the power
from that group away and give it back to some
(04:58):
dark star chamb group of people who don't have any
sort of accountability to voters.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Gavin Newsom is out as governor soon. It'll be fun
to watch him try to run for president. But Kamala
Harris say she's not going to be the face of
the state. So who is the front runner for governor?
We'll talk about it when we come back. A dark
horse the name that you will know as well as
being talked about.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
A secret tunnel linking one of the celebrity hot spots
goes back for decades here in Hollywood. Apparently it's not
just a rumor. It's not a myth. It exists.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
I always think of underground stuff as being back East.
I I don't know if it's earthquake wise or just
that there's a longer history for people to have dug
things underground.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
We have a series of tunnels in Los Angeles. There's
a series of tunnels in Seattle as well, a lot
of secret tunnels.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Well, there's a whole there's a whole underground neighborhood in Seattle, right,
or at least it used to be a neighborhood that
then they built on top of it.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Don't get me started on the Denver Airport.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Oh right, I mean, it's the crazy entire city horse
and everything.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
You mentioned this.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
So Gavin Newsom is going to be turned out as governor,
and the race to be one of the most powerful
figures in American politics is going to start heating up
pretty good now that we know that Kamala Harris is
not going to run to replace him.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
And the weekend was full of.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
A series of articles regarding well, what does this mean?
Because no one is emerging as a clear front runner
in terms of being the head of the Democratic Party,
because they're the most likely to win the position, but
no one is jumping out and sort of being the
(06:56):
I don't like to use the term front runner because
I don't even know if that's the right way, but
no one is emerging as the top of the pack.
Although I will say this Kamala Harris drops out last week,
Katie Porter, former congresswoman out of Orange County, immediately puts
her foot on the gas and is able to raise
about a quarter of a million dollars in thirty six
(07:19):
hours after Kamala Harris said that she dropped out.
Speaker 7 (07:23):
Now, I mean, does that.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Mean she's the front runner or does that mean she's
got a huge fundraising apparatus at her disposal.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Both.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
She was shown as the front runner back in March
when they did extensive polling. They did polling with or
without Kamala Harris. You had to do that because once
you threw that name in there, it moved everything around.
And what they found back then was that she led
the field of Democrats without Kamala Harris. In consideration, you've
(07:55):
got Javier Bsera, who they say has the most excusative
experience in the field. He's got a long resume in
California politics. He was US Health Secretary during the Biden administration.
You've got Lieutenant Governor Elandi Kunelakis, who I just recently
learned is our lieutenant governor. You've got state Superintendent of
(08:19):
Public Instruction. Hmmm, that's a sexy title, Tony Thurman to anybody, Yeah,
me neither. And then you've got former Controller Betty Yee.
Betty Yee, when you dig into it, really has the
credentials and the politics to do well. It's just unfortunate
that Betty Yee has zero name recognition and some hurdles
(08:41):
to overcome her being female and her being Asian, let's
just say it. But Katie Porter, I believe has some
hurdles too, notably, and I may be speaking out of
class here, but I'm speaking from my own heart.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
The likability problem.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
She has a.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Air about her where she hits you over the head
with Katie Porter.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Yeah, likability is a great word because it is so elusive.
I think that was one of the things that was
going to dog Kamala Harris if she was in the
race too.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
Is likability.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
And I don't mean that necessarily as a judgment of
her character, but just the way she is perceived publicly,
and I think Katie Porter is going to struggle with
that going forward.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Do I have recency and closeness bias to Antonio Vira Gosa?
Why is he not mentioned in the conversation when you're
talking about the front runners. He's only mentioned in that
it'll make things harder for Javier Besara because there's another
Latino male in the mix.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Via Gosa to me, is a viable candidate.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
I don't know that is a good question because he
doesn't appear in a I mentioned that there was a
series of these articles.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
You know, he's a whisper, right in say.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
He's never mentioned the front runners.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Maybe it's because if this were ten years ago, he
would still have some of that fundraising apparatus that people
like Katie Porter.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
That's the money.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
Yeah, I mean, that's.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
The only thing, because you know, I asked the question,
so she raised she being the former congresswoman Porter, she
she raises a quarter million dollars in thirty six hours,
which is an astounding amount of money for this type
you'd be this early out from you know, the election,
and that kind of obviously does make her the front
runner because money equals power when it comes to politics.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
And if if Via.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Ragosa doesn't have that, he's you know, he's behind the
eight ball already cliche.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
He's clearly not the future. He's not going to help
anybody out in the future. But what is Katie Porter
going to do for the future of the Democratic Party?
Speaker 7 (10:53):
Yeah, I valid question.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Now in all of this, In all of this, while
all these people are trying to figure out what's going on,
I have to mention that Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco
running on the Republican side, and they are hoping that
all of these Democrats that line up kind of eat
each other during the during the primary, so that a
Republican can get on to the top two. But the
(11:20):
dark horse and all of this potentially is Rick Caruso.
And whether or not Rick Caruso, who brings with him
immediate power because of the ability to self finance a campaign,
does he jump into the race for government now.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
He makes perfect sense.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
And if California wants to reinsert itself in the conversation,
this is a way to be taken seriously. It shows
that California is not obsessed with trans rights and these
fringe progressive issues that are completely lost in the national conversation,
as they should be because they affect point zero zero
(11:57):
three percent of the population. You put a bit businessman
at the head of California who has a history, who
is a Republican. Let's just be clear. I mean he
changed his affiliation to run for mayor. But Rick Cruso
is a Republican businessman, an old school Republican, your classic Republican,
your dad's Republican. And Rick Caruso is also above politics.
(12:22):
He's the Schwartzenegger. He doesn't need the special interest because,
as you mentioned, he's got the money to fund his
whole campaign. He doesn't need to do anyone for any favors.
What he would do is actually get California to start
making money again, get more people back to California, make
it make sense for businesses to stay here. That's what
(12:44):
Rick Caruso brings. Furthermore, Caruso will do more for the
Democratic Party in that post than Katie Porter would because
suddenly he's making California Democrats more palatable to everywhere else.
Actually a favor for Gavin Newsom to elect Rick Caruso
as government.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I although one of the one of the quotes from
one of the political watchers in one of those articles
this weekend was basically that the California political landscape is
littered with the broken campaigns of centrist Democrats who think
they're going to talk to the majority in the state.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
And I mean, I agree with you.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I think Rick Cruso would be a fantastic if you
had a guy with a business background, started from nothing,
made himself all kinds of money in charge of the
sixth the largest or fifth largest economy in the world,
whatever number we are right now, the number of companies
that would want to either stay in California or come
(13:48):
to California because they.
Speaker 7 (13:49):
Know that guy is rooting for them.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Right, My plan involves California voters taking their heads out
of their asses. But I will say what he has
a huge ass. But what I will say is that
big he has things. Oh oh, sorry, he has things
over all of those moderate Democrats whose bodies are littering
the streets.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
He's got name recognition and he has a track record.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Those other people they just had their label as moderate, right, Yeah,
it would be many of them.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I'll tell you that.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
It would be curious to see if he would rise
to the level of reaching that, you know, because of
our top two primary here in the States.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
He makes too much sense, Let's just be honest.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
You wouldn't be able to look at him through the
crazy filter that is the California put.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Katie Porter's ass. That'll rise to the top.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
Yay.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
Oh I'm going to go to the bathroom while you
do this next story.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Oh okay, I too have to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Oh great, I've had a lot of water today.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Okay, sorry, that was to rehydrate after your champagne dream.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah, maybe that's it.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Has anyone ever had a dream about feeling hungover? Because
that's what I had.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
It was awful.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
AI is now infiltrated Disney. I'll tell you how. Also
AI being used for obituaries. I can understand this. People
get a little bit anxious when it comes to writing obituaries.
I would love to do this. I loved I wrote
my debt. You wrote your parents. I wrote my dad's
(15:34):
I loved it. It was cathartic to me. It felt good.
It was right up my alley. And then someone said
to me, you should do this professionally. You should write
obituaries professionally. And I thought, well, isn't that the isn't
that the thing about it an obituary, It has to
be entirely personal. It has to be somebody who really
knew the person, right. That's what makes a good obituary,
(15:56):
when you really know somebody. And now people are trying
to a and I get that. I mean, if you're
turning to AI to help you write a you know,
an essay or whatever. There's also this kind of weird,
uh pretense you put on yourself, or people put on
themselves when they're writing obituaries that it has to be
by the book, and it has to be this way
and that way, and you have to have the right,
(16:17):
you know, a way of listing the surviving members.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Of the family, right like you know the practice styles.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
There's an ap style book guide to it exactly.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Yeah, I do remember that. We'll talk about it next hour.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
But it is a it's an interesting, uh mind experiment
to think if you if if you were given the option,
would you have used it? And how you know in
the event that you had it available to you when
you were writing your dad's bitual.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I would not because I also don't care about pretense.
But some people do.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
They care about form and the way things have been
and the way they things should be.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
And I understand that.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Well, long as it's not disrespectful to the person that
you're honoring with this obituary.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
I mean, right, how they would you know? I thought
about that my mom, for example, as it well, we'll.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Do it next hour, we'll do it next home. I'll
get off on that tangent. A couple stories about attempted
break ins. Have you seen these? There was one in
the Valley Studio City at about eleven o'clock last night,
somebody woke up and the alarm was going off and
they peel off a couple shots at an intruder.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
They were able to get away with no injuries.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
And then in Hollywood the night before, a homeowner stopped
a possible attempted break in at their house by holding
the would be trespasser at gunpoint. My favorite part about
that one is the neighbor saw what was going on,
grabs a shotgun and comes over and lends a hand
until the cops show up. So everybody was hurting either
(17:54):
one of those.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
I'd love it if my neighbor Dennis came over with
a gun started shooting people. You know, he's just one
of those polite guys. You say hi, he wave too,
He does some work in the backyard. It seems like
a guy's guy.
Speaker 8 (18:09):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I don't know a lot about Dennis, but I do
think it would not surprise me if in the middle
of the night there was an intruder and Dennis came
over armed to a t and just.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
You know, took care of it.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
You woke up to a gunshot and there's a body
on your front porch.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
And then waving like you would on a normal Tuesday afternoon,
and he goes back into his home. Eric Menendez has
returned to prison. He was temporarily transferred to a hospital
to receive treatment for kidney stones. Ever since I read
this article, I've given myself kidney stones. I think I've
(18:44):
given myself a feeling that I have them. It's one
of those things that you know, you forget about and
then you remember everyone can get them at any time,
and they just happen.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
Is it like gout? I mean, I think they're actually connected.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
And I say that out's kind of a funny term,
but I do think that you can.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Well, I've been on this, I've been on this cliched
middle aged woman kick of eating a lot of protein.
No one can do a cliched crisis like I can.
And and I read that when you eat a lot
of protein, that kidney stones are one of the things
that happened. So he was trying to get out of
(19:24):
prison for kidney stones, was I thought.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Was a stretch.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Usually, if you've got like stage four cancer or something,
they make an exception. But you know, you don't get
exception for something that just happens to everybody periodically in life.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Kidney stones, Well, it sounds like Listen, I can't imagine
that the diet in where are they Susanville. He had
been transported from the Dawnovan Correctional Facility in San Diego
to a hospital.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
I guess he was. I guess he's been down here.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
But I can't imagine that that's going to be the
healthiest of diets prison food, and if you get a
pretty bad case of it. I've known people have had
kidney stones, and I've known people have had them really bad,
to the point of fainting from the pain of kidney stones.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Let's be honest about diets for a minute. Shall we
we talk about prison food. You and I probably know
more people than not that eat worse diets than people
in prison eat.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
Yes, by choice, very true.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
That is very true because there are still people who
you know, do make recommendations on prison food offerings, as
opposed to if you're left to your own devices in
the wild, you can eat like absolute crap.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Right, I did, and I did. I did until I
realized I was getting older and I couldn't do that.
But I mean, you know, it's not like the prison
food is so bad that it would inflame your kidney
stone issue.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
I don't think.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
Maybe he's doing your thing.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Maybe he's doing a high protein diet and he's trying
to avoid middle age.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Well, he's got got to get ready for his tour,
as publicity tour where they earn all that money.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
He's probably doing a lot of weightlifting and protein.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
Stuff, protein stuff.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Yeah, there is a surprise, maybe not a surprise, a secret.
Speaker 7 (21:21):
That's the word.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
I'm looking for, a secret tunnel. We've done stories before
about Chateau marmal and in this case, there was a
tunnel between Chateau Marmont and a very high end and
pretty debaucherous supper club. A lot of cocaine in that tunnel.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
I can only imagine that thing is It looks probably
like uh.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
STDs, like the like the Playboy mansion grotto.
Speaker 8 (21:50):
No.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
I was going to say, like the hallways of the
rebel base on the planet Hoth.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
You'll look it up and you'll know. You'll you'll see what.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
I was really upset this weekend.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
One of my pleasures of the weekend is doing the
Sunday crossword in the New York Times, and this week
it was themed for Star Trek with Star Wars mixed in,
and I was pissed off the entire time I was available.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
You could have texted me clues. I would have given
you a name. I know.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I didn't want to give you the whatever that would
give you that would make you feel happy.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
We are the dumbest people I've ever met. That's not true.
That's not true.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I really name a dumb person. Oh that's true. There
are dummer shows.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Everybody loves the Chateau Marmont because if if you know
enough about the history of Hollywood, specifically that edge of
the West Hollywood Sunset Strip, the amount of celebrity blood
that has been spilled. I don't mean that in the
actual way. I just mean the stories that exist around celebrities,
(23:02):
famous and infamous, and their adventures inside outside. On top
of it, opens Chateau Marmon.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
In nineteen twenty nine, and to your point, Led Zeppelin
would ride their motorcycles through the hotel. Not true, but
it has been one of those rumors that you've seen
it in movies, things like that. Another myth, Greta Garbo
surreptitiously owned the place. James Dean climbed through the window
(23:31):
of Nicholas Ray, who was the director of Rebel without
a Cause, crawled through the window of his bungalow to audition.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Not true either.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
So one specific rumor that has been around for a
long time was an underground tunnel that would go directly
from Chateau Marmon to a street level building below it,
and that was home to the players. The players was
(24:01):
i'll use the word infamous supper club, a bunch of old,
super powerful and probably creepy in their day, Howard Hughes,
Orson Wells, Lauren Bacall less creepy, but still very powerful.
And there was this tunnel that allegedly existed that would
connect these two iconic buildings. The owner of the club
(24:23):
was a guy named Preston Sturgis, who I love the
term bone vivont. He was a bone vivant who made
his name in Broadway before he came out to LA
And one of these goals when he came to La
was to build a nightclub, a very lavish nightclub that
would be the envy of the world.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
So just before World War.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Two he buys a bungalow on Sunset, just down the
hill from the chateau and does a top to bottom
renovation and this thing becomes what at the time was
a multi level and entertainment complex.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
When it opened the following year, it had a drive
in restaurant on its first floor, a dining room with
live bands in the middle, swanky restaurant French food upper level.
And he made a point to add quirky touches, false walls,
an interior barbershop, even a revolving bandstand so that several
(25:22):
bands could play simultaneously to guests who were dining in
various rooms.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
How freaking cool. What abom vivant he was.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
And one of the reasons that this tunnel theory exists
is that he wanted to build a tunnel.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
So the high profile guests, Right.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
You want to allow some amount of anonymity for some
of your high profile guests, they could sneak in and out.
And of course the other end of the tunnel was
going to be the Chateau Marmont, where they also wanted
to have some amount of anonymity.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
The secret tunnel was discovered just recently by accident. It
was twenty twelve. You ever go to the Pink Taco
Great Establishment. It's gone now, but the owner of the
Pink Taca restaurant, Harry Morton, was renovating this former space
when Cruz stumbled upon its remnants, proving this long rumored
(26:17):
story of a tunnel to be unexpectedly true.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Now it was a field.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Unfortunately it's been closed up. But I mean the fact
that it was there was a confirmation of this rumor
that had existed for was that now seven decades about
this thing before it was officially re uncovered. Disenthralled. I
don't even know the word. I have to ask the
(26:42):
governor for the right word for them.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I think we should veto disenthralled from the program.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Oh, discover, discover the I'm making connections now in my
head that never existed before.
Speaker 7 (26:58):
That's what that word means.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Roll, No, discover, you're taking the cover off of the thing,
You're finding it. You're making my head hurt, my my
head right now, it's.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Nothing goes on in there. We've all learned that that's
not true.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
You're a pillow case.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Since that, since that dumb conversation, every time I have
a thought now I announce it to my wife oh,
I do have thoughts.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
I have thoughts.
Speaker 8 (27:26):
I just thought something, what if a dog had wings?
Oh my god, I feel so badly for your wife.
Oh guess what she did last night? What she also
watched the Naked Gun. I'm just saying, okay, it was
she was a good sport. She went to the movie
with Of course she did. I don't say that.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Well, she's not going to tell you go on your own,
your ass hat with no thoughts, your pillowcase. Does she
call you a pillowcase around the house? Now you're such
a pillowcase?
Speaker 3 (27:58):
No, but after the movie, she's like, you probably could
have seen that alone.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Ah, well, you know what you watched Hunting Wives for her?
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I only watched two episodes. It got too hot, too steamy.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
It seems like you want to get back on that wagon.
Speaker 7 (28:15):
No, no, no, you don't want to watching it all.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Just tell you it gets more nipple heavy. I mean,
I burned through that whole series this weekend. That's what
I did. Maybe that's why I don't remember the weekend,
sitting there watching sex shows on the time.
Speaker 7 (28:29):
I would explain your dream about drinking champagne though.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
One that's true. That is true?
Speaker 7 (28:37):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Julie noted, swamp watch when we come back. You've been
listening to The Gary and Shannon Show. You can always
hear us live on KFI AM six forty nine am
to one pm every Monday through Friday, and anytime on
demand on the iHeartRadio app
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M. Six forty, The Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Gavin Newsom is facing some
harsh criticism. He has announced a special election to redistrict California. Now,
the appetite for special elections is a particular appetite.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
You don't just get to make us hungry for one.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
It's got to come from our gut, truly, and we
don't have.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
That for redistricting.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Rarely does a voting bloc have a hunger in their
belly for a redistricting special election. But Gavin Newsom is
so holier than now that he thinks he can make
you hungry for that.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
This is all in connection with what's going on in Texas,
which is actually the one that's generating the headlines. But
Gavin Newsom is definitely one of the Democratic governors who
is fighting back. Now in Texas, they're trying to read district. Usually,
you district every ten years after the census determines how
many seats in Congress your state gets. But redistricting, as
(01:09):
we've seen it abused hundreds of times over the last
few over the last century, if you read district, you
can kind of fudge the numbers a little bit and
either guarantee that that representative is going to be Democrat
or that representative is going to be Republican. And that's
what they want to do in Texas, to beef up
the number of Republicans in Congress.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
So it's dirty on its face. It's also very expensive.
The special election would cost the state hundreds of millions
of taxpayer dollars. Just the number of hurdles in terms
of the cost alone is a problem. And then like
I said that the appetite for this kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah, he spoke, Gavin Newsom did last week about this,
and we don't have to play the whole thing because
it's interrupted by a fire truck which he tries to
use to his advantage poorly. But he says that the
rules of politics are are not it's not that they've changed,
it's that they're being ignored.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Now we have does this and throw ourselves that that's the.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
That's also all disenthrall ourselves.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Does he have one of those little books where you know,
there's like a set of cards for the prefix and
then like a set of words. It's like a vocabulary
tool they use for kit Actually, you know what, he
did have some issues in school, so I will not
make that joke.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
But that's why he's a big numbers guy. I don't
know if that's a big word thing for him, because
he's talked about his dyslexia and that's he's he's really
good at remembering a lot of numbers. Hit me with
that word again, dis what disenthralled?
Speaker 4 (02:47):
We have to throw ourselves that that's the case. Not
with Donald Trump, Not when he made a call to
the governor of Texas and talked about finding five additional
seats so that he can try to hold the line
and maintain the majority in the House of Representatives.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
The game this isn't your lane, Gavin.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Redistricting is something that points zero zero three percent of
the population pay attention to and using words like disenthrall
also not a lane you want to be driving your tesla.
And because here's the problem, no one in moderate Michigan
is going to be wooed by a Democrat from California
(03:28):
using a word like disenthrall. Right, just say, hey, we
need to forget about X, Y or Z.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
It's one of those things That's also weird because in California,
the ratio of Democrats to Republicans in terms of our
congressional representation does not match even voter roles in terms
of Republican registrate registrants. I have to disenthrall myself trying
(03:58):
to use the exact word, but it doesn't match. And
then Congressman Kevin Kylie responded to this on the floor
of the House as well there and he said this thing.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
The governor would like to reduce the representation of Republicans
in Congress in our state to three members out of
fifty two, so that Republicans will hold six percent of
the seats, even though Republicans typically get over forty percent
of the vote in statewide elections. It could be the
(04:31):
single most egregious act of corruption in the history of
our state because don't forget.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Don't forget one of the things that Gavin Newsom pushed
for and God was an independent citizen run commission to
do just that, to decide on district boundaries. And now
he wants to go back on that, rip the power
from that group away and give it back to some
(04:58):
dark star chamb group of people who don't have any
sort of accountability to voters.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Gavin Newsom is out as governor soon. It'll be fun
to watch him try to run for president. But Kamala
Harris say she's not going to be the face of
the state. So who is the front runner for governor?
We'll talk about it when we come back. A dark
horse the name that you will know as well as
being talked about.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
A secret tunnel linking one of the celebrity hot spots
goes back for decades here in Hollywood. Apparently it's not
just a rumor. It's not a myth. It exists.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
I always think of underground stuff as being back East.
I I don't know if it's earthquake wise or just
that there's a longer history for people to have dug
things underground.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
We have a series of tunnels in Los Angeles. There's
a series of tunnels in Seattle as well, a lot
of secret tunnels.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Well, there's a whole there's a whole underground neighborhood in Seattle, right,
or at least it used to be a neighborhood that
then they built on top of it.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Don't get me started on the Denver Airport.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Oh right, I mean, it's the crazy entire city horse
and everything.
Speaker 7 (06:15):
You mentioned this.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
So Gavin Newsom is going to be turned out as governor,
and the race to be one of the most powerful
figures in American politics is going to start heating up
pretty good now that we know that Kamala Harris is
not going to run to replace him.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
And the weekend was full of.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
A series of articles regarding well, what does this mean?
Because no one is emerging as a clear front runner
in terms of being the head of the Democratic Party,
because they're the most likely to win the position, but
no one is jumping out and sort of being the
(06:56):
I don't like to use the term front runner because
I don't even know if that's the right way, but
no one is emerging as the top of the pack.
Although I will say this Kamala Harris drops out last week,
Katie Porter, former congresswoman out of Orange County, immediately puts
her foot on the gas and is able to raise
about a quarter of a million dollars in thirty six
(07:19):
hours after Kamala Harris said that she dropped out.
Speaker 7 (07:23):
Now, I mean, does that.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Mean she's the front runner or does that mean she's
got a huge fundraising apparatus at her disposal.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Both.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
She was shown as the front runner back in March
when they did extensive polling. They did polling with or
without Kamala Harris. You had to do that because once
you threw that name in there, it moved everything around.
And what they found back then was that she led
the field of Democrats without Kamala Harris. In consideration, you've
(07:55):
got Javier Bsera, who they say has the most excusative
experience in the field. He's got a long resume in
California politics. He was US Health Secretary during the Biden administration.
You've got Lieutenant Governor Elandi Kunelakis, who I just recently
learned is our lieutenant governor. You've got state Superintendent of
(08:19):
Public Instruction. Hmmm, that's a sexy title, Tony Thurman to anybody, Yeah,
me neither. And then you've got former Controller Betty Yee.
Betty Yee, when you dig into it, really has the
credentials and the politics to do well. It's just unfortunate
that Betty Yee has zero name recognition and some hurdles
(08:41):
to overcome her being female and her being Asian, let's
just say it. But Katie Porter, I believe has some
hurdles too, notably, and I may be speaking out of
class here, but I'm speaking from my own heart.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
The likability problem.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
She has a.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Air about her where she hits you over the head
with Katie Porter.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Yeah, likability is a great word because it is so elusive.
I think that was one of the things that was
going to dog Kamala Harris if she was in the
race too.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
Is likability.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
And I don't mean that necessarily as a judgment of
her character, but just the way she is perceived publicly,
and I think Katie Porter is going to struggle with
that going forward.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Do I have recency and closeness bias to Antonio Vira Gosa?
Why is he not mentioned in the conversation when you're
talking about the front runners. He's only mentioned in that
it'll make things harder for Javier Besara because there's another
Latino male in the mix.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Via Gosa to me, is a viable candidate.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
I don't know that is a good question because he
doesn't appear in a I mentioned that there was a
series of these articles.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
You know, he's a whisper, right in say.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
He's never mentioned the front runners.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Maybe it's because if this were ten years ago, he
would still have some of that fundraising apparatus that people
like Katie Porter.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
That's the money.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
Yeah, I mean, that's.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
The only thing, because you know, I asked the question,
so she raised she being the former congresswoman Porter, she
she raises a quarter million dollars in thirty six hours,
which is an astounding amount of money for this type
you'd be this early out from you know, the election,
and that kind of obviously does make her the front
runner because money equals power when it comes to politics.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
And if if Via.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Ragosa doesn't have that, he's you know, he's behind the
eight ball already cliche.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
He's clearly not the future. He's not going to help
anybody out in the future. But what is Katie Porter
going to do for the future of the Democratic Party?
Speaker 7 (10:53):
Yeah, I valid question.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Now in all of this, In all of this, while
all these people are trying to figure out what's going on,
I have to mention that Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco
running on the Republican side, and they are hoping that
all of these Democrats that line up kind of eat
each other during the during the primary, so that a
Republican can get on to the top two. But the
(11:20):
dark horse and all of this potentially is Rick Caruso.
And whether or not Rick Caruso, who brings with him
immediate power because of the ability to self finance a campaign,
does he jump into the race for government now.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
He makes perfect sense.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
And if California wants to reinsert itself in the conversation,
this is a way to be taken seriously. It shows
that California is not obsessed with trans rights and these
fringe progressive issues that are completely lost in the national conversation,
as they should be because they affect point zero zero
(11:57):
three percent of the population. You put a bit businessman
at the head of California who has a history, who
is a Republican. Let's just be clear. I mean he
changed his affiliation to run for mayor. But Rick Cruso
is a Republican businessman, an old school Republican, your classic Republican,
your dad's Republican. And Rick Caruso is also above politics.
(12:22):
He's the Schwartzenegger. He doesn't need the special interest because,
as you mentioned, he's got the money to fund his
whole campaign. He doesn't need to do anyone for any favors.
What he would do is actually get California to start
making money again, get more people back to California, make
it make sense for businesses to stay here. That's what
(12:44):
Rick Caruso brings. Furthermore, Caruso will do more for the
Democratic Party in that post than Katie Porter would because
suddenly he's making California Democrats more palatable to everywhere else.
Actually a favor for Gavin Newsom to elect Rick Caruso
as government.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I although one of the one of the quotes from
one of the political watchers in one of those articles
this weekend was basically that the California political landscape is
littered with the broken campaigns of centrist Democrats who think
they're going to talk to the majority in the state.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
And I mean, I agree with you.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I think Rick Cruso would be a fantastic if you
had a guy with a business background, started from nothing,
made himself all kinds of money in charge of the
sixth the largest or fifth largest economy in the world,
whatever number we are right now, the number of companies
that would want to either stay in California or come
(13:48):
to California because they.
Speaker 7 (13:49):
Know that guy is rooting for them.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Right, My plan involves California voters taking their heads out
of their asses. But I will say what he has
a huge ass. But what I will say is that
big he has things. Oh oh, sorry, he has things
over all of those moderate Democrats whose bodies are littering
the streets.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
He's got name recognition and he has a track record.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Those other people they just had their label as moderate, right, Yeah,
it would be many of them.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I'll tell you that.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
It would be curious to see if he would rise
to the level of reaching that, you know, because of
our top two primary here in the States.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
He makes too much sense, Let's just be honest.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
You wouldn't be able to look at him through the
crazy filter that is the California put.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Katie Porter's ass. That'll rise to the top.
Speaker 8 (14:41):
Yay.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
Oh I'm going to go to the bathroom while you
do this next story.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Oh okay, I too have to go to the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Oh great, I've had a lot of water today.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Okay, sorry, that was to rehydrate after your champagne dream.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah, maybe that's it.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Has anyone ever had a dream about feeling hungover? Because
that's what I had.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
It was awful.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
AI is now infiltrated Disney. I'll tell you how. Also
AI being used for obituaries. I can understand this. People
get a little bit anxious when it comes to writing obituaries.
I would love to do this. I loved I wrote
my debt. You wrote your parents. I wrote my dad's
(15:34):
I loved it. It was cathartic to me. It felt good.
It was right up my alley. And then someone said
to me, you should do this professionally. You should write
obituaries professionally. And I thought, well, isn't that the isn't
that the thing about it an obituary, It has to
be entirely personal. It has to be somebody who really
knew the person, right. That's what makes a good obituary,
(15:56):
when you really know somebody. And now people are trying
to a and I get that. I mean, if you're
turning to AI to help you write a you know,
an essay or whatever. There's also this kind of weird,
uh pretense you put on yourself, or people put on
themselves when they're writing obituaries that it has to be
by the book, and it has to be this way
and that way, and you have to have the right,
(16:17):
you know, a way of listing the surviving members.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Of the family, right like you know the practice styles.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
There's an ap style book guide to it exactly.
Speaker 7 (16:30):
Yeah, I do remember that. We'll talk about it next hour.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
But it is a it's an interesting, uh mind experiment
to think if you if if you were given the option,
would you have used it? And how you know in
the event that you had it available to you when
you were writing your dad's bitual.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I would not because I also don't care about pretense.
But some people do.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
They care about form and the way things have been
and the way they things should be.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
And I understand that.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Well, long as it's not disrespectful to the person that
you're honoring with this obituary.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
I mean, right, how they would you know? I thought
about that my mom, for example, as it well, we'll.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Do it next hour, we'll do it next home. I'll
get off on that tangent. A couple stories about attempted
break ins. Have you seen these? There was one in
the Valley Studio City at about eleven o'clock last night,
somebody woke up and the alarm was going off and
they peel off a couple shots at an intruder.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
They were able to get away with no injuries.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
And then in Hollywood the night before, a homeowner stopped
a possible attempted break in at their house by holding
the would be trespasser at gunpoint. My favorite part about
that one is the neighbor saw what was going on,
grabs a shotgun and comes over and lends a hand
until the cops show up. So everybody was hurting either
(17:54):
one of those.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
I'd love it if my neighbor Dennis came over with
a gun started shooting people. You know, he's just one
of those polite guys. You say hi, he wave too,
He does some work in the backyard. It seems like
a guy's guy.
Speaker 8 (18:09):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
I don't know a lot about Dennis, but I do
think it would not surprise me if in the middle
of the night there was an intruder and Dennis came
over armed to a t and just.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
You know, took care of it.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
You woke up to a gunshot and there's a body
on your front porch.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
And then waving like you would on a normal Tuesday afternoon,
and he goes back into his home. Eric Menendez has
returned to prison. He was temporarily transferred to a hospital
to receive treatment for kidney stones. Ever since I read
this article, I've given myself kidney stones. I think I've
(18:44):
given myself a feeling that I have them. It's one
of those things that you know, you forget about and
then you remember everyone can get them at any time,
and they just happen.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
Is it like gout? I mean, I think they're actually connected.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
And I say that out's kind of a funny term,
but I do think that you can.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Well, I've been on this, I've been on this cliched
middle aged woman kick of eating a lot of protein.
No one can do a cliched crisis like I can.
And and I read that when you eat a lot
of protein, that kidney stones are one of the things
that happened. So he was trying to get out of
(19:24):
prison for kidney stones, was I thought.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Was a stretch.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Usually, if you've got like stage four cancer or something,
they make an exception. But you know, you don't get
exception for something that just happens to everybody periodically in life.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Kidney stones, Well, it sounds like Listen, I can't imagine
that the diet in where are they Susanville. He had
been transported from the Dawnovan Correctional Facility in San Diego
to a hospital.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
I guess he was. I guess he's been down here.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
But I can't imagine that that's going to be the
healthiest of diets prison food, and if you get a
pretty bad case of it. I've known people have had
kidney stones, and I've known people have had them really bad,
to the point of fainting from the pain of kidney stones.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Let's be honest about diets for a minute. Shall we
we talk about prison food. You and I probably know
more people than not that eat worse diets than people
in prison eat.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
Yes, by choice, very true.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
That is very true because there are still people who
you know, do make recommendations on prison food offerings, as
opposed to if you're left to your own devices in
the wild, you can eat like absolute crap.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Right, I did, and I did. I did until I
realized I was getting older and I couldn't do that.
But I mean, you know, it's not like the prison
food is so bad that it would inflame your kidney
stone issue.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
I don't think.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
Maybe he's doing your thing.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Maybe he's doing a high protein diet and he's trying
to avoid middle age.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Well, he's got got to get ready for his tour,
as publicity tour where they earn all that money.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
He's probably doing a lot of weightlifting and protein.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
Stuff, protein stuff.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Yeah, there is a surprise, maybe not a surprise, a secret.
Speaker 7 (21:21):
That's the word.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
I'm looking for, a secret tunnel. We've done stories before
about Chateau marmal and in this case, there was a
tunnel between Chateau Marmont and a very high end and
pretty debaucherous supper club. A lot of cocaine in that tunnel.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
I can only imagine that thing is It looks probably
like uh.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
STDs, like the like the Playboy mansion grotto.
Speaker 8 (21:50):
No.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
I was going to say, like the hallways of the
rebel base on the planet Hoth.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I don't know what that means.
Speaker 7 (21:58):
You'll look it up and you'll know. You'll you'll see what.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
I was really upset this weekend.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
One of my pleasures of the weekend is doing the
Sunday crossword in the New York Times, and this week
it was themed for Star Trek with Star Wars mixed in,
and I was pissed off the entire time I was available.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
You could have texted me clues. I would have given
you a name. I know.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I didn't want to give you the whatever that would
give you that would make you feel happy.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
We are the dumbest people I've ever met. That's not true.
That's not true.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I really name a dumb person. Oh that's true. There
are dummer shows.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Everybody loves the Chateau Marmont because if if you know
enough about the history of Hollywood, specifically that edge of
the West Hollywood Sunset Strip, the amount of celebrity blood
that has been spilled. I don't mean that in the
actual way. I just mean the stories that exist around celebrities,
(23:02):
famous and infamous, and their adventures inside outside. On top
of it, opens Chateau Marmon.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
In nineteen twenty nine, and to your point, Led Zeppelin
would ride their motorcycles through the hotel. Not true, but
it has been one of those rumors that you've seen
it in movies, things like that. Another myth, Greta Garbo
surreptitiously owned the place. James Dean climbed through the window
(23:31):
of Nicholas Ray, who was the director of Rebel without
a Cause, crawled through the window of his bungalow to audition.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Not true either.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
So one specific rumor that has been around for a
long time was an underground tunnel that would go directly
from Chateau Marmon to a street level building below it,
and that was home to the players. The players was
(24:01):
i'll use the word infamous supper club, a bunch of old,
super powerful and probably creepy in their day, Howard Hughes,
Orson Wells, Lauren Bacall less creepy, but still very powerful.
And there was this tunnel that allegedly existed that would
connect these two iconic buildings. The owner of the club
(24:23):
was a guy named Preston Sturgis, who I love the
term bone vivont. He was a bone vivant who made
his name in Broadway before he came out to LA
And one of these goals when he came to La
was to build a nightclub, a very lavish nightclub that
would be the envy of the world.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
So just before World War.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Two he buys a bungalow on Sunset, just down the
hill from the chateau and does a top to bottom
renovation and this thing becomes what at the time was
a multi level and entertainment complex.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
When it opened the following year, it had a drive
in restaurant on its first floor, a dining room with
live bands in the middle, swanky restaurant French food upper level.
And he made a point to add quirky touches, false walls,
an interior barbershop, even a revolving bandstand so that several
(25:22):
bands could play simultaneously to guests who were dining in
various rooms.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
How freaking cool. What abom vivant he was.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
And one of the reasons that this tunnel theory exists
is that he wanted to build a tunnel.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
So the high profile guests, Right.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
You want to allow some amount of anonymity for some
of your high profile guests, they could sneak in and out.
And of course the other end of the tunnel was
going to be the Chateau Marmont, where they also wanted
to have some amount of anonymity.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
The secret tunnel was discovered just recently by accident. It
was twenty twelve. You ever go to the Pink Taco
Great Establishment. It's gone now, but the owner of the
Pink Taca restaurant, Harry Morton, was renovating this former space
when Cruz stumbled upon its remnants, proving this long rumored
(26:17):
story of a tunnel to be unexpectedly true.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Now it was a field.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Unfortunately it's been closed up. But I mean the fact
that it was there was a confirmation of this rumor
that had existed for was that now seven decades about
this thing before it was officially re uncovered. Disenthralled. I
don't even know the word. I have to ask the
(26:42):
governor for the right word for them.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I think we should veto disenthralled from the program.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Oh, discover, discover the I'm making connections now in my
head that never existed before.
Speaker 7 (26:58):
That's what that word means.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Roll, No, discover, you're taking the cover off of the thing,
You're finding it. You're making my head hurt, my my
head right now, it's.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Nothing goes on in there. We've all learned that that's
not true.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
You're a pillow case.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
Since that, since that dumb conversation, every time I have
a thought now I announce it to my wife oh,
I do have thoughts.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
I have thoughts.
Speaker 8 (27:26):
I just thought something, what if a dog had wings?
Oh my god, I feel so badly for your wife.
Oh guess what she did last night? What she also
watched the Naked Gun. I'm just saying, okay, it was
she was a good sport. She went to the movie
with Of course she did. I don't say that.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Well, she's not going to tell you go on your own,
your ass hat with no thoughts, your pillowcase. Does she
call you a pillowcase around the house? Now you're such
a pillowcase?
Speaker 3 (27:58):
No, but after the movie, she's like, you probably could
have seen that alone.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Ah, well, you know what you watched Hunting Wives for her?
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I only watched two episodes. It got too hot, too steamy.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
It seems like you want to get back on that wagon.
Speaker 7 (28:15):
No, no, no, you don't want to watching it all.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Just tell you it gets more nipple heavy. I mean,
I burned through that whole series this weekend. That's what
I did. Maybe that's why I don't remember the weekend,
sitting there watching sex shows on the time.
Speaker 7 (28:29):
I would explain your dream about drinking champagne though.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
One that's true. That is true?
Speaker 7 (28:37):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
