forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Broadcasting live today
from b Jay's Restaurant here in Burbank. What I don't
(00:21):
know what I'm saying? Wow, I'm having a stroke. How's
it going, Huntington Beach?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
It is our home away from home.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Our home was in Burbank and we come down here
so frequently. I feel like it is. It feels like
it is the studio. But all of our friends are here.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
And thank you for coming, by the way, Thank you
all for showing up today.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yes, thank you.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
He didn't have to.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Are you going to eat any pizza?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I think I am going to eat.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
What kind of pizza are you thinking about?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Uh? Do I go sweet or spicy? I think we
should go sweet because last time it was spicy.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Do you like how I just weed my way into
your pizza?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Oh yeah, Wait a minute, how did that happen? You
asked me if I'm going to eat something, and then
you say we should have the suite. We we'll do
something like that we'll do that soon. A couple of
stories that we're following. We'll get into swamp Watch here
in just a couple of minutes. But we were talking
earlier about Mitch McConnell tripped and fell at the Capitol today.
(01:16):
He's fine. He's eighty three, he says, and he's fine.
He says, he's good. He said it in the voice
of Droopy Dogg.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Though.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
There was also the story of Thursday Night Football. Tonight,
Steelers are taking on the Cincinnati Bengals in Cincinnati. The
combined age of these two quarterbacks may record, by the way. Yeah,
Aaron Rodgers in the Steelers uniform. This is his first
primetime primetime game, I think with the Steelers. And then
(01:48):
Joe Flacco is going to be starting for the Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I know it's bad when you've got to go to
the Cleveland Browns quarterback room to select a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
You know it's bad when the Cleveland Browns quarterback room
has handicapped parking.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
H do you want your Jeopardy question?
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Why not, let's do that.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
That's always fine.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
This is her story for four hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
It's about women.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Your favorite. Here we go as the first woman to
swim across this body of water. Gertrude Utterly covered herself
in Lano Lynn to stand the cold.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Ladies and gentlemen, what is the English Channel? Wow, you're correct,
I am just a font of swimming knowledge.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Well, I think that you would enjoy a woman named Gertrude.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Excuse me, Yeah, well, I mean I would enjoy a
woman named Gertrude.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
The ladies that you like are a little bit older
than you.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Go on and Gertrude.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I don't know gertrude story, but I assume she's older
than you. Gertrude.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Is Gertrude making a comeback.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Some of the names like Dolores and Violet, like some
of the old timy names to come back with babies
these days.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
One of my favorite names, My grandmother's name was Esther Great.
That's a good old fashioned name.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
That's a beautiful name.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
But your grandmother Dixie has my.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Heart, also a good old name.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yes. Gertrude Utterly was born in nineteen oh five. She
died in two thousand and three. But yeah, first woman
to swim across the English Channel. She was named the
Queen of the Waves.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
That's nice.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
She grew up in Manhattan, learned to swim in Jersey.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Anyway, we didn't come here to learn about Gertrude, did we.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
We came here to learn about full body Beideys, It's
time for swamp watch.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
And when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing the lollipops.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, we got.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
The real problem is that our leaders are dumb.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
The other side never quit.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
So what I'm not going anywhere so the swat I
can imagine what can be and be unburdened by what
has been. You know, events have always been going Act President,
They're not stupid.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Have the people voted for you? In mass swap watch?
They're all countering this.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
So the White House has a plan to use Navy
ships off the coast of Pendleton to pummel a piece
of Camp Pendleton as part of a planned military anniversary
celebration scheduled.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
For tomorrow, Tomorrow and Saturday.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Tomorrow and Saturday.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
The event is called seed Ashore, a Review of Amphibious Strength,
and will feature Vice President JD. Vance it's planned to
coincide with the Nope Kings rallies and marches across the
state on Saturday. Those are the anti Trump things. So
Trump is planning this show of military amphibious strength.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Well, it's also the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
the US Marine course, right.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
The site of military exercises. Obviously not uncommon at Pendleton,
But now the state officials are saying there's been a
lack of coordination, safety and planning. All of this has
not been The teas have not been crossed, the eyes
have not been dotted.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Gavin Newsom being the.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
First in line to yell about this, posting on social
media saying Donald Trump and JD vansink that shutting down
the I five to shoot out missiles from ships is
how you respect the military. This would be an absurd
show of force, totally uncalled for. Blah blah blah, blah blah.
The Marine Corps later released a statement saying that all
training events would occur on approved training ranges and comport
(05:34):
with established safety protocols. That's a tough one for Gavin
Newsom to receive.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I was just going to say, I think the Marine
Corps held back. They could have very easily told Gavin
Newsom just sit this one out. Just sit this one out,
pretty hair guy, let us do this. Well.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
The fact that the Marines have to come and say, listen,
this is not about your pissing match over politics. This
is meaningful day for us, and we handle things just fine.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Yeah, it's not the first time that Pendleton has been
the site of training, right, And the idea of that
somehow Gavin Newsom is now this is elevated to hit
his radar is pretty crazy. Also, in Washington, d C.
They have voted for a tenth time now to pass
a spending patch to try to end the government shutdown
(06:23):
at least temporarily, And for a tenth time they voted.
The Senate voted down the House past planned so because
the Senate doesn't plan to be in legislative session again
until Monday, this means that we will see at least
a three week government shutdown as it hits that mark
coming up on midnight on Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Did you know that Gertrude Utterly had childhood measles and
had poor hearing most of her life, but what forties
she had lost most of her hearing.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
But she was still swimming them in.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah, she worked in vaudeville for a time, but spent
most of her life as a swimming instructor for deaf children.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
This may shock you she never married.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Why would that shock me?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Well, she was busy. Yeah, she did nto have time
for someone.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Strong, independent woman, not like you. You had to get married.
You had to get locked up early on.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I know what a trad wife.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
All right, what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Surprise your husband let you out for work today. We're
going to give away a bunch of stuff, is what
we're going to do. If you are here in the
building where at BJ's Restaurant and brew House live in
Huntington Beach. Will be out here until one o'clock. That's
exciting when we come back. There's an issue that has
kind of bubbled up thanks to social media that I
(07:46):
don't think we ever saw before. Politicians' kids that now
disagree with their parents and do so very very public.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Oh how annoying with that?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Man?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Spend your whole life to be a politician and kiss
all the right asses, and then your kid comes around
and just goes on social media blasts all your stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
We'll give you a couple examples of that. When we
come back, Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I'm Elane from the Shankieho and you're listening to Gary
and Shannon live from Vjay's Restaurant, a brew house in Hayschool.
Let's go with it, Elaine and everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Yeah,
Elaane excellent.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Elaine wanted to know if the show is scripted.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Well, she wanted to know who was writing all of
this stuff for us. Yeah, And I thought that was
very nice of her to say, because I thought that
was a very nice It is a nice thing, even
if she didn't mean it that way.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Although I always say whenever anyone thinks the show is scripted,
if somebody handed us a script of this, I would
throw it away and say what else do you have?

Speaker 5 (09:38):
I don't know who would spend that much money on
the Kardashian underwear. I mean I just go out, find
myself a dead squirrel, stick it in my underwear, leave
its tail hanging out in the front, and basically get
the same effect. And if I want to spice things up,
I get a live squirrel.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Have a good show.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Bye.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, let's pause.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
That was such a troubling visual.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
What a guy grabbing a squirrel and squirrel.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
And putting in his and then the live squirrel was
a different visual, wasn't it. I mean, you're really rolling
the dice with that. We've got a story about a
live squirrel coming up. What's the squirrel's name? Again, the squirrel?
What's the squirrel's name? Sally? Uh? We have a story
(10:25):
about a live squirrel named Sally really, who is a
domesticated squirrel and apparently is well behaved, has been fed
different milk goat goat milks, cut goat's milk.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
And has been nursed from a baby into.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
A full size squirrel that lives in the home and
is completely like a like a pet, like a cat
or a dog.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
But a squirrel trained.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Domesticated trains.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Her.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
She has the name Sally.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Sorry, no, we don't call Sally it okay, you do
not know the name Mattie Block. She's a twenty eight
year old lives in New York. Her father, you might
know her father, is a congressman from New Mexico nowt
(11:16):
sorry a state senator there, Jay Block. He represents parts
of northwestern Albuquerque. He was recently part of a group
of American politicians that went to Israel to show support
for the Israeli state, met with Benjamin Netanyahu, among other things,
and Maddie, his twenty eight year old daughter, is vehemently
(11:38):
pro Palestinian, and when news of his trip to Israel,
became public. She also went public and blasted her father
on TikTok. She said, it looks like my dad and
a bunch of other just like loser politicians from New
(11:59):
Mexico went to meet nettan Yahoo now again she said.
She said that the post that he put up by
the way, that said that Israel does everything possible to
avoid killing gods and civilians, she called it misinformation and
said that he was making excuses for the Israeli military.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Man, hug your family little tighter this Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
You know, that's got to be really uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
There's a Columbia University professor says that social media has
had a profound impact in terms of taking whatever family
disagreement exists. If one of those members of the at
least one of the members of the family happens to
be a public figure, anybody else mentioning them talking about
a disagreement, disagreeing with their politics or publicly or whatever,
(12:50):
throws that thing into an atmosphere that otherwise we would
never know about.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Well, this is nothing new. I mean, you've all raised children.
Probably your kids go off to college, they come back
twenty twenty years old.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
You can't tell them anything. They think that they they've they've.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Had one professor maybe explaining something, and then they think
they know everything and they've got all these opinions, and
they think that they had the take on how the
world works, and it's it's brand new and they've found
it and.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
You can't tell you were the very first to discover it.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yeah, And I think that that's a common thing that
happens in your twenties for everybody. And maybe she's going
through it where she just thinks that she even if
she disagrees with her father, Fine, disagree with your father.
You don't need to make it public. It doesn't mean
to be a public thing, right well.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
And it used to be the I.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Mean, he's a state senator from New Mexico.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Right And it used to be that whatever you would
hear about the children of politicians was always they got
in a little bit of trouble or they you know,
they got caught with cocaine at a college party or
something like that. I think of the Bush Twins, bush Girl.
The Bush Twins got in trouble one time. It was
a cute fun they got in trouble. It was embarrassing
for the family, but they weren't doing anything that was crazy,
(14:02):
and they didn't publicly disagree with their father or their
mother in this case. I mean, this is one example.
The other one is Kelly and Conway and her daughter, Claudia.
Claudia was one of the really first ones that took
to social media to completely not just disagree a little,
completely disagree with her parents, in this case, her mom
(14:24):
about her political positions.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
And which puts her mom in an awful position because
she has to be able to say something like I
love my daughter, and I love the fact that she
feels like she can speak out. But you know when
that door is closed that she's gonna ask her daughter,
what the f are you thinking? Why would you possibly,
why would you take this into the public realm when
(14:50):
you could just talk to me about this over dinner whatever.
There is a Kennedy too, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Jack Slosburg is the only grandson of JFK. Hey, He's
accused his cousin RFK of trading in on camelot to
further his political career. It's kind of a weird thing
where Kennedy uses camelot against another Kennedy, kind of a NOD.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
There was this article references Patty Davis. Back in the
Reagan years when Patty Davis was very anti nuclear weapon
loudly would would come out and denounce Ronald Reagan's policies
when it came to nuclear weapons as a deterrent. And again,
it's one of those questions of what's the what's the
(15:37):
benefit to the family if you're going to go out
and publicly disagree with your you know, your politician parent
like that. I've always said to my kids, if they
felt like they wanted to demonstrate or they wanted to
hold a protest for whatever reason, they are more than
welcome to do that, even I've I completely disagree with
whatever position it was, as long as they knew what
(15:58):
the hell they were talking about. Because inevitably, as a reporter,
I would do this intentionally. I would find the dumbest
person in a protest and try to ask them questions
about the the cause for which they're protesting one way
or the other, and they would look like complete idiots,
and I said, never ever be the idiot. I probablys
(16:18):
know what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Was it protest?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I tried to find the smartest person and ask them,
and they didn't have an answer either.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I mean often a lot of times those protests downtown LA,
you'd find somebody who was a representative for SCIU or
what have you, and you'd ask them, what are you
exactly protesting?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
They had no idea.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
They were just bust in.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Yeah. Well, one of the greatest, I shouldn't say greatest,
one of the larger protests we've seen nationwide back in
nineteen ninety Tine nineteen ninety nine, the World Trade Organization
protests that took place in Seattle, and that was hard.
That was another one of those. It was hard to
find a group of one hundred protesters. You'd find two
(16:56):
that knew anything about what the World Trade Organization was
and why they should protest or why they would protest.
Everybody else was out there for a good time and
free nikes.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
All right? Coming up next more Gary and Shannon will continue.
We're live at Huntington Beach BJ's on Beach Boulevard. Join us.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon five for BJ's Restaurant
and Brewe House in Huntington Beach on KFI AM six
forty and everywhere on iHeartRadio. Opp Thank you, sir. We're
gonna be live here at BJ's Restaurant and Brue House
in Huntington Beach until one o'clock today. We still have
a bunch of prizes to give away, including those Chargers tickets,
(17:42):
some Bjy's gift cards, some Gary and Shannon Show swag.
All of that is still available, So you guys.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Evelyn, Evelyn made it. She says she made it. She
was Oh there she is.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I'm so glad. She was worried that she wasn't gonna
make it, but she made it. I like it when
things work out and people here.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
It happens, everything works out well. A couple stories that
we are following today. Of course, President Trump says he's
going to speak with Vladimir Putin. This is ahead of
tomorrow's meeting that he's supposed to have with Vladimir Zelenski
at the White House. Zelensky has been asking for Tomahawk
cruise missiles, which would strike deeper into Russian territory. That
(18:22):
will be the conversation today. The Trump administration has also
authorized the CIA to conduct covert action in Venezuela. The
President acknowledged yesterday he made the authorization, said, the US
is considering strikes on Venezuelan territory. And we do know
that the one hundred and sixtieth Special Ops Aviation Regiment,
(18:47):
they're the ones that they're the Special Operations Airline, shall
we call it that? For the air Force. They fly
the commandos like the Navy Seals and Green Brays and
Delta Force into those places that they need to get.
They have stationed some MH six Little Bird attack helicopters
and some MH sixty Blackhawks closer to closer to Venezuela
(19:10):
if if they need it, if they're needed.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
The President is going to put up an arc, you know,
the Arc de Triumph in Paris. He's gonna put up
one in Washington for America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday.
Of course they're calling it the Arc de Trump.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Of course they are.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I think uh, he's credited with designing it as well.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yes, but it looks this may shock you.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
It has gold.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Gold, There is good, say there is gold. When the
Chargers played the Chiefs in Brazil, yeah, uh, it was.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Oh good.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Are we into the football portion of the show kind
of kind of I've.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Been waiting all day for this.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
It was the first exclusive NFL game that YouTube hosted live, right,
the first exclusion. Now Here in the LA market you
could see it on TV, but for everybody else, basically
they had to watch it on YouTube or got to
watch it on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Yeah. The reason that this was different from my experience
is they had a sideline reporter that was a YouTube influencer. Yeah,
and he was just kind of a personality but didn't
really I don't think football was his lane. No, And
so he was trying to do stuff on the sideline
and I'm like, who's this jackass? Like, what the hell
(20:32):
is this guy doing? You know, almost like mascot stuff.
And he was their YouTube influencer that they gave a
position to on the sideline during the game.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
The Hollywood Reporter says that that that event September fifth,
that game was one of the marking events of what
YouTube is and has become, which is larger than TV. Yeah,
think about how you look at YouTube or whatever reason,
and you look at YouTube four most of us would
probably think about calling something up on our computer right
(21:07):
to watch it or on your phone. But YouTube now
says that they get more video views on TV sets
on your TV than any mobile or laptop or anything.
They've now reached that point where more people are watching
YouTube on their big screen TVs than any other device,
(21:28):
which means it's basically taking over television for the most part.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Well, you look to the youth where they spend most
of their time watching YouTube, and not just the youth.
Remember Keanna was saying that her dad, kind of producer Keianna,
her dad was just watches YouTube stuff all the time.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Well, I mean twenty years ago, when it was two
thousand and five. When it started something like that, it
was just random stuff and it was always the like
America's Funniest Home Videos version of like wacky videos or
crazy Vie or a weird video. But now everything is
so tailored if you like, For example, I like watching
woodworking videos. There are dozens of people who make very
(22:11):
high quality shows that would be television quality in our minds,
television quality shows, but they're doing it on YouTube. So
not only do I get to pick when I watch it,
I get to pick how fast I watch it. You
can change the speed if I watch the whole show,
do I cancel out of it, Do I find something else?
Do I go to a different channel. All of that
is now made it much more flexible than regular TV.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I'm glad you brought up your woodworking. Gary has said. Wow,
Gary has completed his fence.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Oh the fence is done.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Don't you think it weird? I was talking about your fence.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
He did lattice work over the top of it.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
It's gorgeous.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
It extends the whole backyard. It's really beautiful. You did
a great job. You heard the story, right, Bobby. You
didn't hear the story. You're new here today. So Gary
need a defense in the backyard. We've got time. I've
got a minute, predy late a minute? So why not
double down? So Gary needed a fence.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
You said that, I do that?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Do do that? And so he has a couple of companies,
like everybody else does. Come in and they sit at
the kitchen table and this is what we can do
for you, and they put they write the number on
the sheet and they hand it over right, the whole bit,
you know, the deal.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Like I'm buying a used car.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yeah, and in the estimates for like fifteen thousand dollars
at or around fifteen thousand dollars, and you know it
came with the whole spiel of the guy calling, well,
let me see what I can do for you. Yeah,
do we have any spare or fence parts back there
from the buster job we did out there in Valencia?
Do we have any you know? Oh, we can get
you at for a fourteen eight eight eight, you know
(23:42):
that kind of a thing. So Gary said, screw this,
and he went and he got all the parts, all
the wood, and he did all the measurements and all
the things.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Built his own damn fence.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I built my own.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Dam much And how much did that cost you?
Speaker 3 (23:55):
I think I'll have to ask my wife. She has
a better handle on it than I do, because I
just went and spent wildly at home Depot and Low's.
But I bought two new saws. I bought a table
saw like a work site saw, and a double bevel
telescoping miner saw. You know what that is.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I had my first one years ago.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
I got two brand new saws and all the supplies
I was going to need, including a post hole digger,
among other things. I probably came in at maybe eleven
or twelve hundred dollars total. Now granted it's my labor,
so I don't know what that's worth. Four bucks an
hour or something like that, but still eleven hundred dollars
(24:35):
maybe twelve hundred versus fifteen thousand that somebody wanted to charge.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Yeah, incredible, I mean, oh, thank you.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Stop it, stop it now.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
That's a great story. I love that story.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
All right. When we come back, something else, I don't
know I've.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Something else I haven't looked. Live at Bjay's Restaurant in
brew House into Huntington Beach for our latest news and bruise.
We will see you in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty, Jen and Jane from.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Honey to Beach City, USA, And we're listening Gary and
Shannon last from Djay's Restaurant, brew House and.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Huntington Beach on KFI six forty and everywhere on the
iHeart app. It's not easy when she's interrupting you all
the time.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Huh, I swear Gary, Oh boy, hey.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
I have something fun to tell you about.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Okay, do you remember Carl?
Speaker 1 (25:38):
We were here a couple of years ago. Carl fell
down outside and.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
We were worried about him. We didn't know what happened.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yea, yeah, he's here today.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
He's at the end of the bar over there.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
He's back living his life, back at the news and Bruce.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Thanks for coming.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
How cool is that?
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Recovery's going well? I hope.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Yeah, Well, he's back, he's at the bar. That's a
good recovery, right, Hell.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Yeah, wrong, suit. We like to do some wellness stories,
by the way, because we don't just tell you to
be degenerates all the time.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Why would we do a wellness story when we're eating
pizza and beer.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Nobody knows today, nobody knows that.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Everybody knows that we're quite all doing the same thing.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Did you have Did you have pizza and beer yesterday? No?
Did you have the day before? No? Every once in
a while is okay.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Yeah, So in this case, there's a story. A new
study that came out that suggests that lifting weights resistance
training just two or three times a week can change
not just your muscles, can change your gut biome. And
so much more research has been has shown how important
your gut biome.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I'm getting real tired of about those two words together.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Gut biome.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Being hit over the head with gut biome all the time.
You know, it's it's like on all the advertisements good
for your gut biome on Instagram or what have you
gut biome pills. It's like, you know, if you if
you have a problem with your gut biome, you know
about it by now and you've probably dealt with it, right,
you know what, you know what, you know what not.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
To do the ultimate uh, if you're not careful with it,
you'll end up getting a needing I should say, a
fecal transplant. And that's an awful don't don't, don't do that.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I don't know why you're being so catastrophic right now.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
I'm just saying I want you to be healthy, yeah,
and by you, I mean you like you. I want
you to be healthy. I don't want anybody have to
go through a fecal trains.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
We come up with a better phrase than gut biome,
like what I sparkle internal fauna? Yeah, you're you're you're.
I don't know, I don't have no idea. Something better
than that.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
The makeup of your poop. Shoot, maybe is that something
that's also seems like that's a bad.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
We have strange science coming up later on, and producer
Matt has done a bang up job of curating our
strange science stories.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
We've got an.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Harvard astrophysicist who suggests that there's this mysterious, mysterious interstellar
object and that it may be an alien probe. Yeah,
hell yeah, she's like alien probe, Bring on the probe. Also,
you ever kissed anybody who's into meth? Don't say yes
(28:23):
all at once. Wait, there was a tennis player who
said a kiss caused his meth positive test. How about
that for an excuse?
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Why is he hanging out with the what?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
People on meth can be lovable? Don't shut the door
on love, right, But anyway, what a hell of a story?
Like you get a positive meth test and you go, oh, well,
it was my girlfriend. I kissed her and you know
she's into it.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Throw her under the busy, and.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Like, who's got meth on their mouth?
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Right?
Speaker 1 (28:52):
I guess it's your in your saliva. I don't know
you're asking the wrong guy, am I? Anyway, we got
a bunch of great strange science headed in the twelve
o'clock hour, Amongst other things.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Massive twelve o'clock Hour is coming up next. We're live

it going, Huntington Beach?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
It is our home away from home.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Our home was in Burbank and we come down here

it is the studio. But all of our friends are here.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
And thank you for coming, by the way, Thank you
all for showing up today.
Speaker 2 (00:40):

Speaker 3 (00:42):
He didn't have to.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Are you going to eat any pizza?
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I think I am going to eat.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
What kind of pizza are you thinking about?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Uh? Do I go sweet or spicy? I think we
should go sweet because last time it was spicy.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Do you like how I just weed my way into
your pizza?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Oh yeah, Wait a minute, how did that happen? You
asked me if I'm going to eat something, and then
you say we should have the suite. We we'll do
something like that we'll do that soon. A couple of
stories that we're following. We'll get into swamp Watch here
in just a couple of minutes. But we were talking
earlier about Mitch McConnell tripped and fell at the Capitol today.
(01:16):
He's fine. He's eighty three, he says, and he's fine.
He says, he's good. He said it in the voice
of Droopy Dogg.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Though.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
There was also the story of Thursday Night Football. Tonight,
Steelers are taking on the Cincinnati Bengals in Cincinnati. The
combined age of these two quarterbacks may record, by the way. Yeah,
Aaron Rodgers in the Steelers uniform. This is his first
primetime primetime game, I think with the Steelers. And then
(01:48):
Joe Flacco is going to be starting for the Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I know it's bad when you've got to go to
the Cleveland Browns quarterback room to select a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
You know it's bad when the Cleveland Browns quarterback room
has handicapped parking.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
H do you want your Jeopardy question?
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Why not, let's do that.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
That's always fine.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
This is her story for four hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
It's about women.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Your favorite. Here we go as the first woman to
swim across this body of water. Gertrude Utterly covered herself
in Lano Lynn to stand the cold.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Ladies and gentlemen, what is the English Channel? Wow, you're correct,
I am just a font of swimming knowledge.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Well, I think that you would enjoy a woman named Gertrude.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Excuse me, Yeah, well, I mean I would enjoy a
woman named Gertrude.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
The ladies that you like are a little bit older
than you.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Go on and Gertrude.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I don't know gertrude story, but I assume she's older
than you. Gertrude.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Is Gertrude making a comeback.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Some of the names like Dolores and Violet, like some
of the old timy names to come back with babies
these days.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
One of my favorite names, My grandmother's name was Esther Great.
That's a good old fashioned name.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
That's a beautiful name.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
But your grandmother Dixie has my.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Heart, also a good old name.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yes. Gertrude Utterly was born in nineteen oh five. She
died in two thousand and three. But yeah, first woman
to swim across the English Channel. She was named the
Queen of the Waves.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
That's nice.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
She grew up in Manhattan, learned to swim in Jersey.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Anyway, we didn't come here to learn about Gertrude, did we.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
We came here to learn about full body Beideys, It's
time for swamp watch.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
And when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing the lollipops.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, we got.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
The real problem is that our leaders are dumb.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
The other side never quit.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
So what I'm not going anywhere so the swat I
can imagine what can be and be unburdened by what
has been. You know, events have always been going Act President,
They're not stupid.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Have the people voted for you? In mass swap watch?
They're all countering this.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
So the White House has a plan to use Navy
ships off the coast of Pendleton to pummel a piece
of Camp Pendleton as part of a planned military anniversary
celebration scheduled.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
For tomorrow, Tomorrow and Saturday.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Tomorrow and Saturday.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
The event is called seed Ashore, a Review of Amphibious Strength,
and will feature Vice President JD. Vance it's planned to
coincide with the Nope Kings rallies and marches across the
state on Saturday. Those are the anti Trump things. So
Trump is planning this show of military amphibious strength.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Well, it's also the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
the US Marine course, right.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
The site of military exercises. Obviously not uncommon at Pendleton,
But now the state officials are saying there's been a
lack of coordination, safety and planning. All of this has
not been The teas have not been crossed, the eyes
have not been dotted.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Gavin Newsom being the.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
First in line to yell about this, posting on social
media saying Donald Trump and JD vansink that shutting down
the I five to shoot out missiles from ships is
how you respect the military. This would be an absurd
show of force, totally uncalled for. Blah blah blah, blah blah.
The Marine Corps later released a statement saying that all
training events would occur on approved training ranges and comport
(05:34):
with established safety protocols. That's a tough one for Gavin
Newsom to receive.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I was just going to say, I think the Marine
Corps held back. They could have very easily told Gavin
Newsom just sit this one out. Just sit this one out,
pretty hair guy, let us do this. Well.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
The fact that the Marines have to come and say, listen,
this is not about your pissing match over politics. This
is meaningful day for us, and we handle things just fine.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Yeah, it's not the first time that Pendleton has been
the site of training, right, And the idea of that
somehow Gavin Newsom is now this is elevated to hit
his radar is pretty crazy. Also, in Washington, d C.
They have voted for a tenth time now to pass
a spending patch to try to end the government shutdown
(06:23):
at least temporarily, And for a tenth time they voted.
The Senate voted down the House past planned so because
the Senate doesn't plan to be in legislative session again
until Monday, this means that we will see at least
a three week government shutdown as it hits that mark
coming up on midnight on Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Did you know that Gertrude Utterly had childhood measles and
had poor hearing most of her life, but what forties
she had lost most of her hearing.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
But she was still swimming them in.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah, she worked in vaudeville for a time, but spent
most of her life as a swimming instructor for deaf children.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
This may shock you she never married.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Why would that shock me?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Well, she was busy. Yeah, she did nto have time
for someone.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Strong, independent woman, not like you. You had to get married.
You had to get locked up early on.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I know what a trad wife.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
All right, what are we doing?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Surprise your husband let you out for work today. We're
going to give away a bunch of stuff, is what
we're going to do. If you are here in the
building where at BJ's Restaurant and brew House live in
Huntington Beach. Will be out here until one o'clock. That's
exciting when we come back. There's an issue that has
kind of bubbled up thanks to social media that I
(07:46):
don't think we ever saw before. Politicians' kids that now
disagree with their parents and do so very very public.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Oh how annoying with that?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Man?
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Spend your whole life to be a politician and kiss
all the right asses, and then your kid comes around
and just goes on social media blasts all your stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
We'll give you a couple examples of that. When we
come back, Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I'm Elane from the Shankieho and you're listening to Gary
and Shannon live from Vjay's Restaurant, a brew house in Hayschool.

Elaane excellent.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Elaine wanted to know if the show is scripted.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Well, she wanted to know who was writing all of
this stuff for us. Yeah, And I thought that was
very nice of her to say, because I thought that
was a very nice It is a nice thing, even
if she didn't mean it that way.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Although I always say whenever anyone thinks the show is scripted,
if somebody handed us a script of this, I would
throw it away and say what else do you have?

Speaker 5 (09:38):
I don't know who would spend that much money on
the Kardashian underwear. I mean I just go out, find
myself a dead squirrel, stick it in my underwear, leave
its tail hanging out in the front, and basically get
the same effect. And if I want to spice things up,
I get a live squirrel.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Have a good show.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Bye.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, let's pause.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
That was such a troubling visual.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
What a guy grabbing a squirrel and squirrel.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
And putting in his and then the live squirrel was
a different visual, wasn't it. I mean, you're really rolling
the dice with that. We've got a story about a
live squirrel coming up. What's the squirrel's name? Again, the squirrel?
What's the squirrel's name? Sally? Uh? We have a story
(10:25):
about a live squirrel named Sally really, who is a
domesticated squirrel and apparently is well behaved, has been fed
different milk goat goat milks, cut goat's milk.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
And has been nursed from a baby into.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
A full size squirrel that lives in the home and
is completely like a like a pet, like a cat
or a dog.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
But a squirrel trained.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Domesticated trains.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Her.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
She has the name Sally.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Sorry, no, we don't call Sally it okay, you do
not know the name Mattie Block. She's a twenty eight
year old lives in New York. Her father, you might
know her father, is a congressman from New Mexico nowt
(11:16):
sorry a state senator there, Jay Block. He represents parts
of northwestern Albuquerque. He was recently part of a group
of American politicians that went to Israel to show support
for the Israeli state, met with Benjamin Netanyahu, among other things,
and Maddie, his twenty eight year old daughter, is vehemently
(11:38):
pro Palestinian, and when news of his trip to Israel,
became public. She also went public and blasted her father
on TikTok. She said, it looks like my dad and
a bunch of other just like loser politicians from New
(11:59):
Mexico went to meet nettan Yahoo now again she said.
She said that the post that he put up by
the way, that said that Israel does everything possible to
avoid killing gods and civilians, she called it misinformation and
said that he was making excuses for the Israeli military.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Man, hug your family little tighter this Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
You know, that's got to be really uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
There's a Columbia University professor says that social media has
had a profound impact in terms of taking whatever family
disagreement exists. If one of those members of the at
least one of the members of the family happens to
be a public figure, anybody else mentioning them talking about
a disagreement, disagreeing with their politics or publicly or whatever,
(12:50):
throws that thing into an atmosphere that otherwise we would
never know about.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Well, this is nothing new. I mean, you've all raised children.
Probably your kids go off to college, they come back
twenty twenty years old.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
You can't tell them anything. They think that they they've they've.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Had one professor maybe explaining something, and then they think
they know everything and they've got all these opinions, and
they think that they had the take on how the
world works, and it's it's brand new and they've found
it and.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
You can't tell you were the very first to discover it.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yeah, And I think that that's a common thing that
happens in your twenties for everybody. And maybe she's going
through it where she just thinks that she even if
she disagrees with her father, Fine, disagree with your father.
You don't need to make it public. It doesn't mean
to be a public thing, right well.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
And it used to be the I.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Mean, he's a state senator from New Mexico.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Right And it used to be that whatever you would
hear about the children of politicians was always they got
in a little bit of trouble or they you know,
they got caught with cocaine at a college party or
something like that. I think of the Bush Twins, bush Girl.
The Bush Twins got in trouble one time. It was
a cute fun they got in trouble. It was embarrassing
for the family, but they weren't doing anything that was crazy,
(14:02):
and they didn't publicly disagree with their father or their
mother in this case. I mean, this is one example.
The other one is Kelly and Conway and her daughter, Claudia.
Claudia was one of the really first ones that took
to social media to completely not just disagree a little,
completely disagree with her parents, in this case, her mom
(14:24):
about her political positions.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
And which puts her mom in an awful position because
she has to be able to say something like I
love my daughter, and I love the fact that she
feels like she can speak out. But you know when
that door is closed that she's gonna ask her daughter,
what the f are you thinking? Why would you possibly,
why would you take this into the public realm when
(14:50):
you could just talk to me about this over dinner whatever.
There is a Kennedy too, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Jack Slosburg is the only grandson of JFK. Hey, He's
accused his cousin RFK of trading in on camelot to
further his political career. It's kind of a weird thing
where Kennedy uses camelot against another Kennedy, kind of a NOD.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
There was this article references Patty Davis. Back in the
Reagan years when Patty Davis was very anti nuclear weapon
loudly would would come out and denounce Ronald Reagan's policies
when it came to nuclear weapons as a deterrent. And again,
it's one of those questions of what's the what's the
(15:37):
benefit to the family if you're going to go out
and publicly disagree with your you know, your politician parent
like that. I've always said to my kids, if they
felt like they wanted to demonstrate or they wanted to
hold a protest for whatever reason, they are more than
welcome to do that, even I've I completely disagree with
whatever position it was, as long as they knew what
(15:58):
the hell they were talking about. Because inevitably, as a reporter,
I would do this intentionally. I would find the dumbest
person in a protest and try to ask them questions
about the the cause for which they're protesting one way
or the other, and they would look like complete idiots,
and I said, never ever be the idiot. I probablys
(16:18):
know what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Was it protest?
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I tried to find the smartest person and ask them,
and they didn't have an answer either.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I mean often a lot of times those protests downtown LA,
you'd find somebody who was a representative for SCIU or
what have you, and you'd ask them, what are you
exactly protesting?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
They had no idea.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
They were just bust in.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Yeah. Well, one of the greatest, I shouldn't say greatest,
one of the larger protests we've seen nationwide back in
nineteen ninety Tine nineteen ninety nine, the World Trade Organization
protests that took place in Seattle, and that was hard.
That was another one of those. It was hard to
find a group of one hundred protesters. You'd find two
(16:56):
that knew anything about what the World Trade Organization was
and why they should protest or why they would protest.
Everybody else was out there for a good time and
free nikes.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
All right? Coming up next more Gary and Shannon will continue.
We're live at Huntington Beach BJ's on Beach Boulevard. Join us.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Evelyn, Evelyn made it. She says she made it. She
was Oh there she is.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Hi.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I'm so glad. She was worried that she wasn't gonna
make it, but she made it. I like it when
things work out and people here.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
It happens, everything works out well. A couple stories that
we are following today. Of course, President Trump says he's
going to speak with Vladimir Putin. This is ahead of
tomorrow's meeting that he's supposed to have with Vladimir Zelenski
at the White House. Zelensky has been asking for Tomahawk
cruise missiles, which would strike deeper into Russian territory. That
(18:22):
will be the conversation today. The Trump administration has also
authorized the CIA to conduct covert action in Venezuela. The
President acknowledged yesterday he made the authorization, said, the US
is considering strikes on Venezuelan territory. And we do know
that the one hundred and sixtieth Special Ops Aviation Regiment,
(18:47):
they're the ones that they're the Special Operations Airline, shall
we call it that? For the air Force. They fly
the commandos like the Navy Seals and Green Brays and
Delta Force into those places that they need to get.
They have stationed some MH six Little Bird attack helicopters
and some MH sixty Blackhawks closer to closer to Venezuela
(19:10):
if if they need it, if they're needed.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
The President is going to put up an arc, you know,
the Arc de Triumph in Paris. He's gonna put up
one in Washington for America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday.
Of course they're calling it the Arc de Trump.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Of course they are.
Speaker 5 (19:29):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
I think uh, he's credited with designing it as well.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Yes, but it looks this may shock you.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
It has gold.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Gold, There is good, say there is gold. When the
Chargers played the Chiefs in Brazil, yeah, uh, it was.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Oh good.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Are we into the football portion of the show kind
of kind of I've.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Been waiting all day for this.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
It was the first exclusive NFL game that YouTube hosted live, right,
the first exclusion. Now Here in the LA market you
could see it on TV, but for everybody else, basically
they had to watch it on YouTube or got to
watch it on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Yeah. The reason that this was different from my experience
is they had a sideline reporter that was a YouTube influencer. Yeah,
and he was just kind of a personality but didn't
really I don't think football was his lane. No, And
so he was trying to do stuff on the sideline
and I'm like, who's this jackass? Like, what the hell
(20:32):
is this guy doing? You know, almost like mascot stuff.
And he was their YouTube influencer that they gave a
position to on the sideline during the game.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
The Hollywood Reporter says that that that event September fifth,
that game was one of the marking events of what
YouTube is and has become, which is larger than TV. Yeah,
think about how you look at YouTube or whatever reason,
and you look at YouTube four most of us would
probably think about calling something up on our computer right
(21:07):
to watch it or on your phone. But YouTube now
says that they get more video views on TV sets
on your TV than any mobile or laptop or anything.
They've now reached that point where more people are watching
YouTube on their big screen TVs than any other device,
(21:28):
which means it's basically taking over television for the most part.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Well, you look to the youth where they spend most
of their time watching YouTube, and not just the youth.
Remember Keanna was saying that her dad, kind of producer Keianna,
her dad was just watches YouTube stuff all the time.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Well, I mean twenty years ago, when it was two
thousand and five. When it started something like that, it
was just random stuff and it was always the like
America's Funniest Home Videos version of like wacky videos or
crazy Vie or a weird video. But now everything is
so tailored if you like, For example, I like watching
woodworking videos. There are dozens of people who make very
(22:11):
high quality shows that would be television quality in our minds,
television quality shows, but they're doing it on YouTube. So
not only do I get to pick when I watch it,
I get to pick how fast I watch it. You
can change the speed if I watch the whole show,
do I cancel out of it, Do I find something else?
Do I go to a different channel. All of that
is now made it much more flexible than regular TV.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
I'm glad you brought up your woodworking. Gary has said. Wow,
Gary has completed his fence.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Oh the fence is done.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Don't you think it weird? I was talking about your fence.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
He did lattice work over the top of it.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
It's gorgeous.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
It extends the whole backyard. It's really beautiful. You did
a great job. You heard the story, right, Bobby. You
didn't hear the story. You're new here today. So Gary
need a defense in the backyard. We've got time. I've
got a minute, predy late a minute? So why not
double down? So Gary needed a fence.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
You said that, I do that?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Do do that? And so he has a couple of companies,
like everybody else does. Come in and they sit at
the kitchen table and this is what we can do
for you, and they put they write the number on
the sheet and they hand it over right, the whole bit,
you know, the deal.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Like I'm buying a used car.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yeah, and in the estimates for like fifteen thousand dollars
at or around fifteen thousand dollars, and you know it
came with the whole spiel of the guy calling, well,
let me see what I can do for you. Yeah,
do we have any spare or fence parts back there
from the buster job we did out there in Valencia?
Do we have any you know? Oh, we can get
you at for a fourteen eight eight eight, you know
(23:42):
that kind of a thing. So Gary said, screw this,
and he went and he got all the parts, all
the wood, and he did all the measurements and all
the things.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Built his own damn fence.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I built my own.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Dam much And how much did that cost you?
Speaker 3 (23:55):
I think I'll have to ask my wife. She has
a better handle on it than I do, because I
just went and spent wildly at home Depot and Low's.
But I bought two new saws. I bought a table
saw like a work site saw, and a double bevel
telescoping miner saw. You know what that is.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I had my first one years ago.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
I got two brand new saws and all the supplies
I was going to need, including a post hole digger,
among other things. I probably came in at maybe eleven
or twelve hundred dollars total. Now granted it's my labor,
so I don't know what that's worth. Four bucks an
hour or something like that, but still eleven hundred dollars
(24:35):
maybe twelve hundred versus fifteen thousand that somebody wanted to charge.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Yeah, incredible, I mean, oh, thank you.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Stop it, stop it now.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
That's a great story. I love that story.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
All right. When we come back, something else, I don't
know I've.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Something else I haven't looked. Live at Bjay's Restaurant in
brew House into Huntington Beach for our latest news and bruise.
We will see you in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 4 (25:02):

Speaker 2 (25:34):
I have something fun to tell you about.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Okay, do you remember Carl?
Speaker 1 (25:38):
We were here a couple of years ago. Carl fell
down outside and.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
We were worried about him. We didn't know what happened.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yea, yeah, he's here today.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
He's at the end of the bar over there.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
He's back living his life, back at the news and Bruce.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Thanks for coming.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
How cool is that?
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Recovery's going well? I hope.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Yeah, Well, he's back, he's at the bar. That's a
good recovery, right, Hell.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Yeah, wrong, suit. We like to do some wellness stories,
by the way, because we don't just tell you to
be degenerates all the time.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Why would we do a wellness story when we're eating
pizza and beer.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Nobody knows today, nobody knows that.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Everybody knows that we're quite all doing the same thing.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Did you have Did you have pizza and beer yesterday? No?
Did you have the day before? No? Every once in
a while is okay.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Yeah, So in this case, there's a story. A new
study that came out that suggests that lifting weights resistance
training just two or three times a week can change
not just your muscles, can change your gut biome. And
so much more research has been has shown how important
your gut biome.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I'm getting real tired of about those two words together.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Gut biome.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Being hit over the head with gut biome all the time.
You know, it's it's like on all the advertisements good
for your gut biome on Instagram or what have you
gut biome pills. It's like, you know, if you if
you have a problem with your gut biome, you know
about it by now and you've probably dealt with it, right,
you know what, you know what, you know what not.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
To do the ultimate uh, if you're not careful with it,
you'll end up getting a needing I should say, a
fecal transplant. And that's an awful don't don't, don't do that.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
I don't know why you're being so catastrophic right now.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
I'm just saying I want you to be healthy, yeah,
and by you, I mean you like you. I want
you to be healthy. I don't want anybody have to
go through a fecal trains.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
We come up with a better phrase than gut biome,
like what I sparkle internal fauna? Yeah, you're you're you're.
I don't know, I don't have no idea. Something better
than that.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
The makeup of your poop. Shoot, maybe is that something
that's also seems like that's a bad.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
We have strange science coming up later on, and producer
Matt has done a bang up job of curating our
strange science stories.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
We've got an.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Harvard astrophysicist who suggests that there's this mysterious, mysterious interstellar
object and that it may be an alien probe. Yeah,
hell yeah, she's like alien probe, Bring on the probe. Also,
you ever kissed anybody who's into meth? Don't say yes
(28:23):
all at once. Wait, there was a tennis player who
said a kiss caused his meth positive test. How about
that for an excuse?
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Why is he hanging out with the what?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
People on meth can be lovable? Don't shut the door
on love, right, But anyway, what a hell of a story?
Like you get a positive meth test and you go, oh, well,
it was my girlfriend. I kissed her and you know
she's into it.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
Throw her under the busy, and.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Like, who's got meth on their mouth?
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Right?
