Speaker 1 (00:34):
Ben Affleck is breaking his silence on his divorce from
Jennifer Lowe.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
God, I know you've been waiting for this.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
In an interview for the April issue of GQ, Ben
Affleck said there was no juicy story, rather just people
trying to figure out their lives and relationships and ways
that we all sort of normally do.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Really was he He was her fourth husband or fifth,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
They were engaged between two thousand and two two thousand
and thirty before rekindling their relationship in twenty twenty one,
marrying the following year.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
She filed for divorce last August.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
He said he tends to be more reserved in private
than Lopez, which caused a rift. You just figured this out.
You've known her for twenty you were engaged or twenty
years ago. You're just now realizing that you're more reserved
and that that would cause a rift.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Fourth husband.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
She seems to be beautiful, and sometimes with beauty like
that and success comes great high maintenance.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Is that a nice way to say that?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
And Jennifer Garner was his first wife, and she seems
very low maintenance. And she's got like a normal cool mom.
The kids that he's got, I think are hers.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
They are, So.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
She's definitely the adult in the whole circle from what
I've gathered.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I think in that article, he goes on to praise
her for being sort of the calm person in the
storm that is his life.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yeah, so you've read that article.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
You don't need to know everything about me and what
I do every morning, what else is going on?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Time for what's happening? More because I want to protect
Jennifer Gardee to oh, I see, I see, I see.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Won't be quite as hot today, and National Weather Service
says that we're going to be a couple degrees cooler.
We might still set some records up in the Antelope
Valley there.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
You gotta follow the old mushroom to get to the truth,
don't you.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
For the most part, it will be a bit cooler today.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yesterday records were set in or tide in Woodland Hills
at the Palmdale Airport and up in Passer Robles.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
There is a cooling trend over the rest of this week.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
We will probably see the morning clouds in the fog,
and I think by Thursday and Friday are high temperatures
Like here in the valley, our high temperatures will be
mid sixties.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I just got an idea for a and it would
be a book through the eyes of the Disneyland parking structure.
Like that parking structure has seen some things, hasn't it
over the years?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
The new Mickey and Friends structure.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah, it was not so much new anymore, is it.
Well we've been around.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
True thirty years.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
But anyway, two juvenile suspects were taken into custody after
a high speed chase ended at the Disneyland parking structure.
I was also a juvenile that got rested at Disneyland
and I got put in the cell. I wonder if
these two got taken to the real cell at the
Anaheim PD.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
I'm assuming they went to the Big House.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yeah, the chase ended at the Pixar Pals parking structure. Okay,
suspect car reached speeds of one hundred miles per hour. Wow,
what a mess, what a nightmare, What a worst case
scenario for I mean, it's all bad when you think
about a high speed chase like that, But at Disneyland.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
All the kids running around, well, and they closed the
parking rot so you couldn't get out.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Oh, imagine that if you've been stuck with your kids,
stuck with your kids.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
In places you didn't know this one came from, and
then you got to sit in the car and you
just blood sugar like going.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Home, Honry. I'm so tired.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
I want to go back.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
The kids sitting in like a hundred and eighty dollars
worth of like stupid Mickey Ears. I mean, beautiful, cool,
fun Mickey Ears. I feel like Disneyland's like scientology, Like
I can't say anything even close to negative, because like.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Somebody, we'll take your throne, will.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Descend and just freaking take me out through the glass.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Amy King will come around, and tripping Amie King is
also a risk.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Not sure how I feel about this, but there is
a staff at the International Bird Rescues LA Wildlife Center
has stepped in to help rescue birds and chicks from
nests in a wind dimit, wind damaged eucalyptus tree.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
What what's your problem with it?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Well, it's not as if a car hit them like
this was nature. I mean, I think back to the
good old days when there were three eglets.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
So you think Jackie and the birds in their eggs
would just die when a tree collapses.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Well, how do you know they're going to die? I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
These people are the experts there, they work at the
Wildlife Center. Clearly they know that they need to be
rescued from what.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
But you don't know. You're not an orentthologist. Did you
go to Cornell last night and not trying on nature?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I wasn't going to go up and save the third eglet.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Just because you can't fight fate doesn't mean fate shouldn't
be fought.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Are you batman? Where did that come from? Is that
a T shirt you read somewhere.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I'm just saying, why not try to save the birds
or help them adjust.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
They're intervening in nature in a natural process. Again, it
was wind that knocked the tree down. It wasn't a
guy with.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
A being lawnmower, parents, lawnmower, wildlife people like let you face.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Not that I wouldn't expect the bird group to go
in there, but I feel like they might want to
draw the line.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
How many birds do you think you want to run
into your car on the way home?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Six? Maybe seven?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
This was a crazy story out of United and United Airlines.
There was a flight from La to China that had
to divert to San Francisco because the pilot.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Forgot his passport. Can you do that when.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
You're a pilot? Yeah, because you just flash your badge
through the airport. Nobody's checking your passport, right, Yeah, But
do you have to get permission from the airline? You're like,
I Forgooh gosh, darn it, Bob, I forgot my permission
from the airport to turn around.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
I don't think they do a lot of stopping in
airplanes when they're well.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I mean, if he's going to be in China for
a week, you're going to China. First of you need
your passport. It's not a country where you can just
like ah, I left it at home. You're gonna need
that at all times. Probably couldn't they keep them in
the airport like Tom Hanks, you keep the pilot in
the airport for a week.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
I don't know if it's gonna Have you ever been
to an airport in China? There's nothing to do? Listen, lady,
I know you know the answer to that. I don't know.
I've never been to an airport to Haiti that is
not China.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
No, but it also has five letters. Different country is
five letters.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Wi Fi.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Wi Fi can be one of the things that sets
off an argument in the home, can't it.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yeah, because you guys always blame us for bad Wi Fi.
Your WiFi is down, your WiFi, so your WiFi isn't working.
Its half it.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Like a couple of weeks ago, the Wi Fi was
down and I picked up my phone to text my husband, Hey,
just FYI, the WiFi is not working. And then I
was like, no, why does he need to know that
now he's not going to be home for several hours.
You're just bitching at him that it's down now to
just for the sake of bitching about it.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yeah, so you can lord it over him when he
gets home.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
And then he walks in the door. I haven't said anything.
I've been there with no Wi Fi for three four hours. No,
but I just I hadn't mentioned it, but I kept
thinking about telling him, but I was like, no, don't
do that. And he walks in the door, probably doesn't
even get two feet in the door. I was like,
just so you know, like I tried to fake nonchalance,
(08:35):
like you haven't, Like I just haven't been thinking about
it four times a second.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Funny, so just you know, the WiFi is not working.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
And it was as if I had sent all those
text messages. It was like, okay, like he knew it's
I might as well have sent those text messages because
he knew intrinsically that I wanted to all me like
I've been bitching all day at him about this.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
They were all loaded up in that one comment made yes. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
So the takeaway the story is just be a bitch
and send all those text messages you know where the
router is.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
In the I know in the room, but I know
that you know what room it's in.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah, okay, maybe you go and unplug it and plug
it back in.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Like he probably did to make it work. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah, you think you think guys just fake it, they're
actually doing like.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
They're like electrical engineers to start over.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yeah, and in reality, I totally knew it comes out.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
And he goes just turn it off and turn it
back on, just trying to dumb it down for you.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
No, I really do think there's more to it than that.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Then, now that you say it like that, it sounds ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Three teenage girls have been arrested because they plan to
kill their mother after she turned off the Wi Fi
in their home.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
The girls are fort funny.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
The girls are fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen. They grab kitchen
knives and chase their mother. Threw the house and into
the street.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
What if the kids struck the mother with a brick?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
A brick grandmother was knocked down to the ground trying
to protect the mother.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
We need more information out of the.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I need a whole I need a whole documentary about
this one that is that's a lot of crazy in
one house. And you got five women in one house,
three generations, and.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Wow, and those are the only ones we know. There
could have been other women in there too, knives and
a brick. It's good WiFi. See I didn't do any
of that. Yeah, that was next.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
No it wasn't, because imagine you did send those text
messages and he didn't respond because he thought to himself,
Oh that's too bad.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
But what am I gonna do? I can't do anything
until I get home.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Then it would have been the whole I tried to
get a hold of you and you just don't respond
for three hours.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Oh my gosh, that would have been fun one too.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I'm saying a quiet prayer for him right now.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
I'm not really a monster. How about we learn how
to turn that thing off and back on. How about
we learn to punch you in the face. How about
we learn that. How about you take some agency and
some ownership, some agency, relying on men all the time.
I knew where that was headed as soon as she
(11:25):
said the word agre. All right, coming up next? What
are we talking about? All kinds of stuff? All kinds
of stuff? Sounds great.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
President Trump reiterating his support for intelligence officials. He called
Mike Waltz a very good man during an ambassador's meeting
today at the White House. After that group discussion, that
group text discussion via war plan about war plans, I
should say, Trump said they will look into the use
of that encrypted messaging app signal after the incident. He
(12:03):
also claimed that Jeffrey Goldberg, the Atlantic editor, has made
up a lot.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Of stories in his career. Well, it's clearly not made up. Well,
it doesn't change. The receipts are out right.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
There are changes coming to the Mega Millions National Lottery Jackpot.
It's supposed to give you bigger prizes, better odds, faster
growing jackpots. The next iteration, or i should say, the
final drawing of the current iteration, will be Friday, April fourth,
so a little more than a week. That means the
new prize structure begins on Tuesday, April eighth. If you're
a Mega Millions fan, Mega Millions payouts currently one in
(12:39):
twenty four. Under the new game structure, it goes up
to one in twenty three because they're removing one of
the gold of megaballs. It also include the audit.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
When they take away the golden megaballs.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
The odds of hitting the Mega Millions jackpot also are better.
Instead of one in three hundred and two million and change,
it's about one in two hundred and ninety million and change,
again because of the one less megaball. There's also just
the jackpot option for three bucks. You get two plays
for the jackpot, not all nine available prizes.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
The option is being retired.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Also retiring is the Megaplier, a feature available in some
states for an additional buck that would increase your non
jack at jack out your non jackpot.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Payout jack out. Interesting.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, that's a different thing, is it? You got to
wait to google it? See that on White Lotus. There's
a new story of that suggests processed foods may be
to blame for some of the mental health crises that
we have seen recently. Now, first of all, empirically, how
(13:45):
could it not be. The incredible amount of mental health diagnoses, crises, feelings,
everything that we've seen over the course of the last
thirty or forty years rises along with everything else that's
wrong with our health.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Right, if you have health problems, chronic health problems, whether
it's obesity or what have you, and that are caused
in part by process foods. Of course, that's going to
play a part in your mental health when it comes
from anxiety, depression, any of those things. That's all in
the megaverse. Ye, And it's not what's going into your body.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
It's not that the salt does it.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
It's the salt is an indicator of what kind of
diet you have, and that that may be a better indicator.
But this research team from then Nanjing Medical University said
that excessive salt incake intake can trigger specific immune responses
in the brain and that leads to behaviors that can
resemble depression, among others. They've talked about this in the
(14:45):
Journal of Immunology. Depression affects millions of people worldwide. We
all know someone or have had bouts of depression. The
lifetime prevalence reaches fifteen to eighteen percent in many populations.
And they said modern Western diet, especially if you lean
into fast food, not that we don't all like to,
but we all shouldn't, can contain dramatically more sodium than
(15:09):
home cooked meals, sometimes succeeding homemade options by one hundredfold
versus what I saw this referenced as somebody was talking
about the old grocery store that used to.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Be down the street.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I remember if it was Facebook or Twitter or something
like that old grocery store Carl's Market that used to
be down the street from my house, four or five
blocks away. And once twice, no probably four or five
times a week, I would be sent to the store
to get something for that night's meal.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I needed the gallon of milk, I needed to.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Get a package of hamburg or the vegetables or whatever
it was. But it was fresh, so I would go
down and hop on my bike and go grab it
and bring it home. The way that stores used to
be set up back then, this is probably early eighties,
is that we would buy ingredients for the food that
we were going to cook. Now, when you go into
a store, so much of what is there is already made, and.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
You think about that.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I mean, that is kind of the basic definition I
guess you could say of what the processed food is.
It's already made for you, as opposed to go into
a store to buy the ingredients to make your food.
And I had never thought about that before, but that
would help explain why. One of the reasons why salt
is used so often in processed foods is a preservative
(16:28):
and taste enhancer and things like that.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I say it all the time, but I'll say it
again and I don't remember if I read it, if
I heard it, what happened.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
But the tip is the healthy tip.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
If you want to avoid processed foods, you don't even
want to look at it, you want the temptation. Stick
to the perimeter of your grocery store. The perimeter so
that means like produce and there's a liquorial, meats, milk, dairy,
things like that is what you're going to find. Maybe
some yogurt there on the other side. Kind of a deal.
But it's all going to be stuff for you make
(17:00):
you know, in cooking on your own, you know, using
real food or the food that is not made for you.
It's not that difficult. There doesn't need to be a thing.
It can just be what do you like, throw it
all together in a pan and boom, you know, throw it.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
In with some sausage or what have you. But stick
to that perimeter.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It's because I know for me, once I start going
into the aisles, and I see all of those things
that are designed. I mean, the smartest people are working
to get you as addicted as possible to that stuff
because that's just where all of the big tobacco and
otherwise money went. And it works. I mean, I am
(17:37):
so easily. Self awareness means nothing. Being aware that this
particular item or this food, these crackers or chips or.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Whatever are bad for me. That means nothing.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
If I'm in that aisle because the taste, because I'm like,
I don't care, I know this is I'm still gonna
get it.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
I'm only gonna get one box.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
But you know what I mean, Like it does works,
not at all. So that's why they say to stick
to the perimeter. Don't even tempt.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yourself with that.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Up next True Crime Tuesday, we'll talk about chips.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
President Trump just held a meeting in the Oval Office.
He was talking about a bunch of things, including downplaying
the texting of attack plans to a group chat that
included a journalist. He said it was really the only
glitch in the last two months of the administration. The
first two months, he told NBC News today that it
turned out not to be a serious one. Top national
(18:38):
security officials, including the Defense Secretary, were on this text
chain that apparently included plans for upcoming military strikes in Yemen.
For some reason, we still haven't figured out why. The
editor in chief of the Atlantic magazine was included in
that text group. He said he didn't try to get in,
he was just invited in. That was at least the
(19:00):
report that he put out yesterday. US consumer confidence continues
its decline. America's views about the financial futures fall to
a twelve year load, driven by concerns over tariffs and inflation.
There was a survey that was done recently that suggested
that chances that the US is heading for a recession
are close to fifty to fifty. This survey that was
(19:21):
done by Deutsche Bank, the probability of a downturn in
growth over the next two months is write at about
forty three percent. Four hundred economists were asked about it
during the period from March seventeenth to the twentieth.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Newspapers are rare to come by these days. Prison newspapers
even more rare. They're not new not in California, did
you know San Quentin had a newspaper that dates back
to at least nineteen forty. Well, now we have the
first in house newspaper at a woman's prison in the
(19:56):
United States. Their story is a topic for True Crime Tuesday.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
The story is true, sounds true?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
No, it sounds made up.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
I don't know, Garry and Shannon present true.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
I mean you would think that, like, a.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Prison is perfect for a gossip rag, right kind of
a thing, especially a prison of women where there's plenty
to talk.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
About, plenty. Veryotypical of you. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Men are just as caddy, but women are more likely
to put pen to paper. But this isn't just news
inside the prison, although it happens to be centered upon that.
This is a newspaper out of the Central California Women's
Facility in chow Chilla, which is California's largest prison. More
(20:51):
than two thousand women are incarcerated there. Not just women,
but non binary transgender people incarcerated there. And in September
they put out their first issue of the paper, Trail,
the first of it, the first effort of its kind
at a woman's prison in the US.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
It's online. I mean, you can get it in print.
You can get it on a tablet. You can get
it online if you were interested in checking it out.
Cc By the way, the classified ads are awful in
this thing, but CCWF papertrail dot org.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Is where you can find it. What do you mean,
what are the classified outs? I don't know. If you
need some pro No, there's no there's no like men
seeking women in there. It's all women seeking?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Is there women seeking women? I'm sure they're probably well
are you reading them right now? I stopped click?
Speaker 3 (21:41):
You click? I don't have it pulled up. I'm kidding.
There are no classifieds.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Oh okay, So you're just making jokes about it now? Yeah,
because of it, because it's women.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
So I can't answer the word.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
San Quentin News dates back to at least nineteen forty
was relaunched actually in two thousand.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Nate that project.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
The San Quentin News has won awards, has been the
subject of news coverage itself. Mule Creek State Prison your
Sacramento has a newspaper, Pelican Bay has one. The paper
Trail at this women's prison is the fourth and latest
prison newspaper in the state. It launched, they say during
(22:22):
a time of change for women's prisons in California. During
the COVID pandemic, the number of women in California prisons
fell thirty one percent. Thirty one percent of them was told, Eh,
you're not that dangerous, Yeah you're okay. I want you to
go home with this bracelet. The women's prison also began
(22:46):
housing transgender women in recent years. One of the Paper
Trail's earliest articles was about the facility's first ever lgbt
QIA plus pride walk. So even inside the prisons they
put together these these types of events. Where do you
walk to at Chowchilla? You walk around the yard.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Chowchilla is a big place. I mean, this facility is
a big place. They got a girlfriend there. I don't
like to brag, but which I say, beca, I did
some work there. Do you want to call?
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Valentina six and forty acres?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
And the guards have to ride tricycles, I mean big ones,
but tricycles to get around.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
It's so it could be like a five K situation.
LGBTQIA plus walk.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Yeah, they're not just walking down cell block six or whatever. Right.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
It also began the Paper Trail did during a period
of scandals at this prison. In July, a woman died
there during a heat wave. In January, a former correctional
officer was found guilty of sixty four counts of sexual
abuse and battery against multiple incarcerated women. The editor is
said in December she's interviewing people about their experiences with
(23:58):
that guy for the paper's first story looking into the abuse.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Now, that's kind of one of the things every once
in a while, I mean, looking at this online, it
looks like many college newspapers setups that you've seen.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
It's not incredibly in depth.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
They're learning, you know, they're setting up, but it What
is weird about it is some of the feature stories
are super feature e like they're very not hard hitting,
but that there is also the possibility of there being very,
very poignant or difficult stories to write.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
That seems like it's going to be hard to write.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Poignant and difficult because of lack of access. Journalists don't
have access to the stories inside chow Chilla Prison. They
don't have access to these women to tell the stories.
That's why the major motion picture up Close and Personal
with Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert Redford was so wonder because
It showed how crucial it is for journalists to have
(25:02):
access to prisons and how when there's a riot in
the prison that Robert Redford will talk you through it.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
But in this it will make your journalism career.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
But in this and you'll go to the network after that,
you don't have to get drunk like Angelina Joe Lee.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
And that other movie at the bus protest was that
it that was based in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
It was okay, they filmed at our station there, but
this editor in chief that's going to do the story
from the inside. I mean that kind of positioning of
the access is kind of a strange thing. When we
come back, though, I wanted to want to read to
you from one of the fun er lighter articles in
(25:44):
this In this paper, it talks about one of the
things that you want when you're in prison, and it's
become very trendy to have one of these things with.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Is it sex or alcohol?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Neither huh, Yeah, neither huh. Gary Channon will continue with
our True Crime Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI

LA Sports. The new Hollywood Pantagious season is a home run.
You get the reference, get a seven show package at
(26:29):
Broadway in Hollywood dot Com. We're talking about an interesting
twist on true crime Tuesday today. A newspaper that is
now being published at the Central California Women's Facility at Chowchilla.
It is the largest prison by space six and forty acres.
It's a massive thing.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Can they talk about prison overcrowding six and forty acres? Well,
a few years ago it was at one hundred and
thirty percent of capacity. It's not now, but it was.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
The paper Trail is this in house newspaper written and
edited by incarcerated people. The advisor to this group of
journalists there at Central California Woman's Facility is a guy
named Jesse Vasquez who travels back and forth from Oakland
twice a week to work with the people. He himself
(27:23):
had spent some time behind bars. He was actually at
San Quentin and worked on that newspaper there for a while.
But it's not just about crime, and we mentioned, of course,
there was one of the guards, their former officer, who
was found guilty of sixty four counts of sexual abuse
and battery. And one of the big stories that they've
been working on is interviewing some of the people who
(27:45):
were involved in that case. But there are lighter things
that they talk about. For example, I wanted to have
oh oh Ronwin wrong buttoned tiger even in your pants.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Women's prison in Chowchilla, come.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
On, one of the uh, one of the inmates that's
writing for the paper trail is sounds like dirt.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Doesn't that what any think Chowchilla doesn't just sound like
flat and dirt and heat.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Yeah, and that's just plenty of cows. Are there cows there? Sure? Outside? Yeah?
I don't think they're inside.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
The article is called the new Fendi Bags CCWF. That's
California or Central California Women's Facility CCWF residents get their
hands dirty for the latest it item quote. I had
no idea how freaking serious it was, Like, lizards are
(28:43):
the new Fendi bags, said Diamond Vargas, a long term
resident of Charlie.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Yard, what are they doing with lizards?
Speaker 2 (28:54):
I had also noticed that many people on b yard
were also keepers of lizards.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Walking towards my unit.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
One day, I get at double hits at a woman
because I didn't recognize the logo on her T shirt.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Oh, this was like Bennett moved.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
This was like when Kevin de Leone at City Hall
compared a city council woman's purse to another colleague's adopted
black son.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
It was a small, live lizard and not a logo at.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
All, So it's like trendy to have the lizards inside.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Yes, I would.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
I could see that I would totally want a pet
lizard if I was in prison.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
People do not normally spend much time on the ground
unless there's an active alarm. Suddenly seeing so many people
crouch down, kneeling and digging in dirt and not so
sanitary areas and did give me anothers pause. I would
compare it to something going viral on social media from
the way I understand it to work.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Again, she's on the inside, so we're still talking about lizards.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
This is the result of having the having to have
the newest latest, What did they idem?
Speaker 3 (29:53):
What are they doing with the lizards?
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Once I understood the entire situation, I was impressed by
the commitment people had made to the well being and
survival of their lizards. Most lizards had a comfortable house
made for them out of everyday items found or repurposed.
Picture of plastic non dairy creamer bottle look like allound
to create a small pond like a.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Toilet paper roll for the little lizard to play in.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Yeah, set inside a square five quartz snapware container with
soil and grass and rocks and a small branch with leaves.
The top is covered with a white kitchen hairnet to
allow air to circulate.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Man, lizards have made it at chow chill. That sounds
like a nice life for a lizard. Get all these
toys and a nice little sanitized environment there in your
little plastic home.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Again, the writer of this piece lizards, Well, they need food.
They need light too, don't they. What do they feeding them? Lizards?
Probably bugs so you could get in the in the
in the air in your it's a jail.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Thank you, Jimmy, thank you.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
People want nothing to do with lizards, whether from a
genuine fear or dislike of Crawley critters. Some are dog people,
some are cat people. Again, this makes me think of
the way some people live for Fendy while others only
wear Gucci. Lizards are the new Fendi bags, at least
for this season.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Debra is the person who knows labels.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
I do not.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Debor Fendy versus Gucci. What's the deal?
Speaker 5 (31:29):
I'd probably say Gucci over Fendy.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Is Gucci just more classic like Chanel and Fendy's kind
of newer Chanelle?
Speaker 5 (31:38):
Chanelle is on top, right, right, And then I would
say Gucci and then and then Fendy more much about trendy.
I mean I think Gucci is is more trendy. Oh okay, yeah,
I don't only see a.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Whole lot of Fendy.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Versus Gucci's easier. I see a lot of Gucci because
I think it's easier to counterfit.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
I don't know they're all emman. I can go. You
can go to certain places, and you can I don't.
I've been to those places.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
I went to Santi Alley and bought a knockoff purse,
one of the first things I did when I moved
to La Jody Becker took me.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Okay, what brands?
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Chanel?
Speaker 3 (32:20):
You did? I bought fake Chanelle? Do you still have it?
Speaker 4 (32:23):
No?
Speaker 1 (32:23):
That thing fell apart within about six months. It was
it was a cool purse. I loved it. It's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Yeah, you weren't actually supposed to use it, but it
was forty dollars do you expect? But I liked it.
I haven't been back since. John Cobboltchows coming up now.
John knows all about designer? Does he really? You can
ask him?
Speaker 1 (32:44):
He buys his underwear and bulk at a store in
Lake Arrowhead.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
He does the hell does he know about brand?
Speaker 5 (32:50):
And buy your underwear and bulk at a store in
Lake Arrowhead.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
You're welcome, she remembers.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
It's hard to forget. Yeah, all right, John's up next.

Ben Affleck is breaking his silence on his divorce from
Jennifer Lowe.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
God, I know you've been waiting for this.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
In an interview for the April issue of GQ, Ben
Affleck said there was no juicy story, rather just people
trying to figure out their lives and relationships and ways
that we all sort of normally do.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Really was he He was her fourth husband or fifth,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
They were engaged between two thousand and two two thousand
and thirty before rekindling their relationship in twenty twenty one,
marrying the following year.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
She filed for divorce last August.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
He said he tends to be more reserved in private
than Lopez, which caused a rift. You just figured this out.
You've known her for twenty you were engaged or twenty
years ago. You're just now realizing that you're more reserved
and that that would cause a rift.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Fourth husband.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
She seems to be beautiful, and sometimes with beauty like
that and success comes great high maintenance.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Is that a nice way to say that?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
And Jennifer Garner was his first wife, and she seems
very low maintenance. And she's got like a normal cool mom.
The kids that he's got, I think are hers.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
They are, So.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
She's definitely the adult in the whole circle from what
I've gathered.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I think in that article, he goes on to praise
her for being sort of the calm person in the
storm that is his life.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yeah, so you've read that article.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
You don't need to know everything about me and what
I do every morning, what else is going on?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Time for what's happening? More because I want to protect
Jennifer Gardee to oh, I see, I see, I see.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Won't be quite as hot today, and National Weather Service
says that we're going to be a couple degrees cooler.
We might still set some records up in the Antelope
Valley there.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
You gotta follow the old mushroom to get to the truth,
don't you.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
For the most part, it will be a bit cooler today.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yesterday records were set in or tide in Woodland Hills
at the Palmdale Airport and up in Passer Robles.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
There is a cooling trend over the rest of this week.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
We will probably see the morning clouds in the fog,
and I think by Thursday and Friday are high temperatures
Like here in the valley, our high temperatures will be
mid sixties.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I just got an idea for a and it would
be a book through the eyes of the Disneyland parking structure.
Like that parking structure has seen some things, hasn't it
over the years?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
The new Mickey and Friends structure.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Yeah, it was not so much new anymore, is it.
Well we've been around.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
True thirty years.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
But anyway, two juvenile suspects were taken into custody after
a high speed chase ended at the Disneyland parking structure.
I was also a juvenile that got rested at Disneyland
and I got put in the cell. I wonder if
these two got taken to the real cell at the
Anaheim PD.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
I'm assuming they went to the Big House.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yeah, the chase ended at the Pixar Pals parking structure. Okay,
suspect car reached speeds of one hundred miles per hour. Wow,
what a mess, what a nightmare, What a worst case
scenario for I mean, it's all bad when you think
about a high speed chase like that, But at Disneyland.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
All the kids running around, well, and they closed the
parking rot so you couldn't get out.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Oh, imagine that if you've been stuck with your kids,
stuck with your kids.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
In places you didn't know this one came from, and
then you got to sit in the car and you
just blood sugar like going.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Home, Honry. I'm so tired.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
I want to go back.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
The kids sitting in like a hundred and eighty dollars
worth of like stupid Mickey Ears. I mean, beautiful, cool,
fun Mickey Ears. I feel like Disneyland's like scientology, Like
I can't say anything even close to negative, because like.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Somebody, we'll take your throne, will.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Descend and just freaking take me out through the glass.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Amy King will come around, and tripping Amie King is
also a risk.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Not sure how I feel about this, but there is
a staff at the International Bird Rescues LA Wildlife Center
has stepped in to help rescue birds and chicks from
nests in a wind dimit, wind damaged eucalyptus tree.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
What what's your problem with it?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Well, it's not as if a car hit them like
this was nature. I mean, I think back to the
good old days when there were three eglets.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
So you think Jackie and the birds in their eggs
would just die when a tree collapses.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Well, how do you know they're going to die? I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
These people are the experts there, they work at the
Wildlife Center. Clearly they know that they need to be
rescued from what.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
But you don't know. You're not an orentthologist. Did you
go to Cornell last night and not trying on nature?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
I wasn't going to go up and save the third eglet.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Just because you can't fight fate doesn't mean fate shouldn't
be fought.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Are you batman? Where did that come from? Is that
a T shirt you read somewhere.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I'm just saying, why not try to save the birds
or help them adjust.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
They're intervening in nature in a natural process. Again, it
was wind that knocked the tree down. It wasn't a
guy with.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
A being lawnmower, parents, lawnmower, wildlife people like let you face.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Not that I wouldn't expect the bird group to go
in there, but I feel like they might want to
draw the line.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
How many birds do you think you want to run
into your car on the way home?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Six? Maybe seven?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
This was a crazy story out of United and United Airlines.
There was a flight from La to China that had
to divert to San Francisco because the pilot.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Forgot his passport. Can you do that when.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
You're a pilot? Yeah, because you just flash your badge
through the airport. Nobody's checking your passport, right, Yeah, But
do you have to get permission from the airline? You're like,
I Forgooh gosh, darn it, Bob, I forgot my permission
from the airport to turn around.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
I don't think they do a lot of stopping in
airplanes when they're well.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I mean, if he's going to be in China for
a week, you're going to China. First of you need
your passport. It's not a country where you can just
like ah, I left it at home. You're gonna need
that at all times. Probably couldn't they keep them in
the airport like Tom Hanks, you keep the pilot in
the airport for a week.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
I don't know if it's gonna Have you ever been
to an airport in China? There's nothing to do? Listen, lady,
I know you know the answer to that. I don't know.
I've never been to an airport to Haiti that is
not China.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
No, but it also has five letters. Different country is
five letters.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Wi Fi.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Wi Fi can be one of the things that sets
off an argument in the home, can't it.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Yeah, because you guys always blame us for bad Wi Fi.
Your WiFi is down, your WiFi, so your WiFi isn't working.
Its half it.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Like a couple of weeks ago, the Wi Fi was
down and I picked up my phone to text my husband, Hey,
just FYI, the WiFi is not working. And then I
was like, no, why does he need to know that
now he's not going to be home for several hours.
You're just bitching at him that it's down now to
just for the sake of bitching about it.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Yeah, so you can lord it over him when he
gets home.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
And then he walks in the door. I haven't said anything.
I've been there with no Wi Fi for three four hours. No,
but I just I hadn't mentioned it, but I kept
thinking about telling him, but I was like, no, don't
do that. And he walks in the door, probably doesn't
even get two feet in the door. I was like,
just so you know, like I tried to fake nonchalance,
(08:35):
like you haven't, Like I just haven't been thinking about
it four times a second.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Funny, so just you know, the WiFi is not working.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
And it was as if I had sent all those
text messages. It was like, okay, like he knew it's
I might as well have sent those text messages because
he knew intrinsically that I wanted to all me like
I've been bitching all day at him about this.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
They were all loaded up in that one comment made yes. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
So the takeaway the story is just be a bitch
and send all those text messages you know where the
router is.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
In the I know in the room, but I know
that you know what room it's in.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah, okay, maybe you go and unplug it and plug
it back in.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Like he probably did to make it work. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah, you think you think guys just fake it, they're
actually doing like.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
They're like electrical engineers to start over.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yeah, and in reality, I totally knew it comes out.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
And he goes just turn it off and turn it
back on, just trying to dumb it down for you.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
No, I really do think there's more to it than that.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Then, now that you say it like that, it sounds ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Three teenage girls have been arrested because they plan to
kill their mother after she turned off the Wi Fi
in their home.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
The girls are fort funny.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
The girls are fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen. They grab kitchen
knives and chase their mother. Threw the house and into
the street.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
What if the kids struck the mother with a brick?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
A brick grandmother was knocked down to the ground trying
to protect the mother.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
We need more information out of the.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I need a whole I need a whole documentary about
this one that is that's a lot of crazy in
one house. And you got five women in one house,
three generations, and.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Wow, and those are the only ones we know. There
could have been other women in there too, knives and
a brick. It's good WiFi. See I didn't do any
of that. Yeah, that was next.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
No it wasn't, because imagine you did send those text
messages and he didn't respond because he thought to himself,
Oh that's too bad.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
But what am I gonna do? I can't do anything
until I get home.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Then it would have been the whole I tried to
get a hold of you and you just don't respond
for three hours.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Oh my gosh, that would have been fun one too.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I'm saying a quiet prayer for him right now.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
I'm not really a monster. How about we learn how
to turn that thing off and back on. How about
we learn to punch you in the face. How about
we learn that. How about you take some agency and
some ownership, some agency, relying on men all the time.
I knew where that was headed as soon as she
(11:25):
said the word agre. All right, coming up next? What
are we talking about? All kinds of stuff? All kinds
of stuff? Sounds great.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
President Trump reiterating his support for intelligence officials. He called
Mike Waltz a very good man during an ambassador's meeting
today at the White House. After that group discussion, that
group text discussion via war plan about war plans, I
should say, Trump said they will look into the use
of that encrypted messaging app signal after the incident. He
(12:03):
also claimed that Jeffrey Goldberg, the Atlantic editor, has made
up a lot.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
Of stories in his career. Well, it's clearly not made up. Well,
it doesn't change. The receipts are out right.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
There are changes coming to the Mega Millions National Lottery Jackpot.
It's supposed to give you bigger prizes, better odds, faster
growing jackpots. The next iteration, or i should say, the
final drawing of the current iteration, will be Friday, April fourth,
so a little more than a week. That means the
new prize structure begins on Tuesday, April eighth. If you're
a Mega Millions fan, Mega Millions payouts currently one in
(12:39):
twenty four. Under the new game structure, it goes up
to one in twenty three because they're removing one of
the gold of megaballs. It also include the audit.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
When they take away the golden megaballs.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
The odds of hitting the Mega Millions jackpot also are better.
Instead of one in three hundred and two million and change,
it's about one in two hundred and ninety million and change,
again because of the one less megaball. There's also just
the jackpot option for three bucks. You get two plays
for the jackpot, not all nine available prizes.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
The option is being retired.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Also retiring is the Megaplier, a feature available in some
states for an additional buck that would increase your non
jack at jack out your non jackpot.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Payout jack out. Interesting.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, that's a different thing, is it? You got to
wait to google it? See that on White Lotus. There's
a new story of that suggests processed foods may be
to blame for some of the mental health crises that
we have seen recently. Now, first of all, empirically, how
(13:45):
could it not be. The incredible amount of mental health diagnoses, crises, feelings,
everything that we've seen over the course of the last
thirty or forty years rises along with everything else that's
wrong with our health.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Right, if you have health problems, chronic health problems, whether
it's obesity or what have you, and that are caused
in part by process foods. Of course, that's going to
play a part in your mental health when it comes
from anxiety, depression, any of those things. That's all in
the megaverse. Ye, And it's not what's going into your body.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
It's not that the salt does it.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
It's the salt is an indicator of what kind of
diet you have, and that that may be a better indicator.
But this research team from then Nanjing Medical University said
that excessive salt incake intake can trigger specific immune responses
in the brain and that leads to behaviors that can
resemble depression, among others. They've talked about this in the
(14:45):
Journal of Immunology. Depression affects millions of people worldwide. We
all know someone or have had bouts of depression. The
lifetime prevalence reaches fifteen to eighteen percent in many populations.
And they said modern Western diet, especially if you lean
into fast food, not that we don't all like to,
but we all shouldn't, can contain dramatically more sodium than
(15:09):
home cooked meals, sometimes succeeding homemade options by one hundredfold
versus what I saw this referenced as somebody was talking
about the old grocery store that used to.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Be down the street.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I remember if it was Facebook or Twitter or something
like that old grocery store Carl's Market that used to
be down the street from my house, four or five
blocks away. And once twice, no probably four or five
times a week, I would be sent to the store
to get something for that night's meal.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
I needed the gallon of milk, I needed to.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Get a package of hamburg or the vegetables or whatever
it was. But it was fresh, so I would go
down and hop on my bike and go grab it
and bring it home. The way that stores used to
be set up back then, this is probably early eighties,
is that we would buy ingredients for the food that
we were going to cook. Now, when you go into
a store, so much of what is there is already made, and.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
You think about that.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I mean, that is kind of the basic definition I
guess you could say of what the processed food is.
It's already made for you, as opposed to go into
a store to buy the ingredients to make your food.
And I had never thought about that before, but that
would help explain why. One of the reasons why salt
is used so often in processed foods is a preservative
(16:28):
and taste enhancer and things like that.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I say it all the time, but I'll say it
again and I don't remember if I read it, if
I heard it, what happened.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
But the tip is the healthy tip.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
If you want to avoid processed foods, you don't even
want to look at it, you want the temptation. Stick
to the perimeter of your grocery store. The perimeter so
that means like produce and there's a liquorial, meats, milk, dairy,
things like that is what you're going to find. Maybe
some yogurt there on the other side. Kind of a deal.
But it's all going to be stuff for you make
(17:00):
you know, in cooking on your own, you know, using
real food or the food that is not made for you.
It's not that difficult. There doesn't need to be a thing.
It can just be what do you like, throw it
all together in a pan and boom, you know, throw it.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
In with some sausage or what have you. But stick
to that perimeter.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It's because I know for me, once I start going
into the aisles, and I see all of those things
that are designed. I mean, the smartest people are working
to get you as addicted as possible to that stuff
because that's just where all of the big tobacco and
otherwise money went. And it works. I mean, I am
(17:37):
so easily. Self awareness means nothing. Being aware that this
particular item or this food, these crackers or chips or.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Whatever are bad for me. That means nothing.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
If I'm in that aisle because the taste, because I'm like,
I don't care, I know this is I'm still gonna
get it.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
I'm only gonna get one box.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
But you know what I mean, Like it does works,
not at all. So that's why they say to stick
to the perimeter. Don't even tempt.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Yourself with that.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Up next True Crime Tuesday, we'll talk about chips.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
President Trump just held a meeting in the Oval Office.
He was talking about a bunch of things, including downplaying
the texting of attack plans to a group chat that
included a journalist. He said it was really the only
glitch in the last two months of the administration. The
first two months, he told NBC News today that it
turned out not to be a serious one. Top national
(18:38):
security officials, including the Defense Secretary, were on this text
chain that apparently included plans for upcoming military strikes in Yemen.
For some reason, we still haven't figured out why. The
editor in chief of the Atlantic magazine was included in
that text group. He said he didn't try to get in,
he was just invited in. That was at least the
(19:00):
report that he put out yesterday. US consumer confidence continues
its decline. America's views about the financial futures fall to
a twelve year load, driven by concerns over tariffs and inflation.
There was a survey that was done recently that suggested
that chances that the US is heading for a recession
are close to fifty to fifty. This survey that was
(19:21):
done by Deutsche Bank, the probability of a downturn in
growth over the next two months is write at about
forty three percent. Four hundred economists were asked about it
during the period from March seventeenth to the twentieth.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Newspapers are rare to come by these days. Prison newspapers
even more rare. They're not new not in California, did
you know San Quentin had a newspaper that dates back
to at least nineteen forty. Well, now we have the
first in house newspaper at a woman's prison in the
(19:56):
United States. Their story is a topic for True Crime Tuesday.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
The story is true, sounds true?
Speaker 3 (20:05):
No, it sounds made up.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
I don't know, Garry and Shannon present true.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
I mean you would think that, like, a.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Prison is perfect for a gossip rag, right kind of
a thing, especially a prison of women where there's plenty
to talk.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
About, plenty. Veryotypical of you. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Men are just as caddy, but women are more likely
to put pen to paper. But this isn't just news
inside the prison, although it happens to be centered upon that.
This is a newspaper out of the Central California Women's
Facility in chow Chilla, which is California's largest prison. More
(20:51):
than two thousand women are incarcerated there. Not just women,
but non binary transgender people incarcerated there. And in September
they put out their first issue of the paper, Trail,
the first of it, the first effort of its kind
at a woman's prison in the US.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
It's online. I mean, you can get it in print.
You can get it on a tablet. You can get
it online if you were interested in checking it out.
Cc By the way, the classified ads are awful in
this thing, but CCWF papertrail dot org.
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Is where you can find it. What do you mean,
what are the classified outs? I don't know. If you
need some pro No, there's no there's no like men
seeking women in there. It's all women seeking?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Is there women seeking women? I'm sure they're probably well
are you reading them right now? I stopped click?
Speaker 3 (21:41):
You click? I don't have it pulled up. I'm kidding.
There are no classifieds.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Oh okay, So you're just making jokes about it now? Yeah,
because of it, because it's women.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
So I can't answer the word.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
San Quentin News dates back to at least nineteen forty
was relaunched actually in two thousand.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Nate that project.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
The San Quentin News has won awards, has been the
subject of news coverage itself. Mule Creek State Prison your
Sacramento has a newspaper, Pelican Bay has one. The paper
Trail at this women's prison is the fourth and latest
prison newspaper in the state. It launched, they say during
(22:22):
a time of change for women's prisons in California. During
the COVID pandemic, the number of women in California prisons
fell thirty one percent. Thirty one percent of them was told, Eh,
you're not that dangerous, Yeah you're okay. I want you to
go home with this bracelet. The women's prison also began
(22:46):
housing transgender women in recent years. One of the Paper
Trail's earliest articles was about the facility's first ever lgbt
QIA plus pride walk. So even inside the prisons they
put together these these types of events. Where do you
walk to at Chowchilla? You walk around the yard.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Chowchilla is a big place. I mean, this facility is
a big place. They got a girlfriend there. I don't
like to brag, but which I say, beca, I did
some work there. Do you want to call?
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Valentina six and forty acres?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
And the guards have to ride tricycles, I mean big ones,
but tricycles to get around.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
It's so it could be like a five K situation.
LGBTQIA plus walk.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Yeah, they're not just walking down cell block six or whatever. Right.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
It also began the Paper Trail did during a period
of scandals at this prison. In July, a woman died
there during a heat wave. In January, a former correctional
officer was found guilty of sixty four counts of sexual
abuse and battery against multiple incarcerated women. The editor is
said in December she's interviewing people about their experiences with
(23:58):
that guy for the paper's first story looking into the abuse.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Now, that's kind of one of the things every once
in a while, I mean, looking at this online, it
looks like many college newspapers setups that you've seen.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
It's not incredibly in depth.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
They're learning, you know, they're setting up, but it What
is weird about it is some of the feature stories
are super feature e like they're very not hard hitting,
but that there is also the possibility of there being very,
very poignant or difficult stories to write.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
That seems like it's going to be hard to write.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Poignant and difficult because of lack of access. Journalists don't
have access to the stories inside chow Chilla Prison. They
don't have access to these women to tell the stories.
That's why the major motion picture up Close and Personal
with Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert Redford was so wonder because
It showed how crucial it is for journalists to have
(25:02):
access to prisons and how when there's a riot in
the prison that Robert Redford will talk you through it.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
But in this it will make your journalism career.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
But in this and you'll go to the network after that,
you don't have to get drunk like Angelina Joe Lee.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
And that other movie at the bus protest was that
it that was based in Seattle.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
It was okay, they filmed at our station there, but
this editor in chief that's going to do the story
from the inside. I mean that kind of positioning of
the access is kind of a strange thing. When we
come back, though, I wanted to want to read to
you from one of the fun er lighter articles in
(25:44):
this In this paper, it talks about one of the
things that you want when you're in prison, and it's
become very trendy to have one of these things with.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Is it sex or alcohol?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Neither huh, Yeah, neither huh. Gary Channon will continue with
our True Crime Tuesday.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
A reminder that it's signed for World champion Dodger Baseball Thursday,
the Dodgers will take on the Detroit Tigers for the
second opening day at Dodger Stadium. First pitch is gonna
have four to ten. You can listen every game on
the iHeartRadio app. To use the keyword AM five seventy
LA Sports. The new Hollywood Pantagious season is a home run.
You get the reference, get a seven show package at
(26:29):
Broadway in Hollywood dot Com. We're talking about an interesting
twist on true crime Tuesday today. A newspaper that is
now being published at the Central California Women's Facility at Chowchilla.
It is the largest prison by space six and forty acres.
It's a massive thing.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
Can they talk about prison overcrowding six and forty acres? Well,
a few years ago it was at one hundred and
thirty percent of capacity. It's not now, but it was.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
The paper Trail is this in house newspaper written and
edited by incarcerated people. The advisor to this group of
journalists there at Central California Woman's Facility is a guy
named Jesse Vasquez who travels back and forth from Oakland
twice a week to work with the people. He himself
(27:23):
had spent some time behind bars. He was actually at
San Quentin and worked on that newspaper there for a while.
But it's not just about crime, and we mentioned, of course,
there was one of the guards, their former officer, who
was found guilty of sixty four counts of sexual abuse
and battery. And one of the big stories that they've
been working on is interviewing some of the people who
(27:45):
were involved in that case. But there are lighter things
that they talk about. For example, I wanted to have
oh oh Ronwin wrong buttoned tiger even in your pants.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Women's prison in Chowchilla, come.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
On, one of the uh, one of the inmates that's
writing for the paper trail is sounds like dirt.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Doesn't that what any think Chowchilla doesn't just sound like
flat and dirt and heat.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Yeah, and that's just plenty of cows. Are there cows there? Sure? Outside? Yeah?
I don't think they're inside.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
The article is called the new Fendi Bags CCWF. That's
California or Central California Women's Facility CCWF residents get their
hands dirty for the latest it item quote. I had
no idea how freaking serious it was, Like, lizards are
(28:43):
the new Fendi bags, said Diamond Vargas, a long term
resident of Charlie.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Yard, what are they doing with lizards?
Speaker 2 (28:54):
I had also noticed that many people on b yard
were also keepers of lizards.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Walking towards my unit.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
One day, I get at double hits at a woman
because I didn't recognize the logo on her T shirt.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Oh, this was like Bennett moved.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
This was like when Kevin de Leone at City Hall
compared a city council woman's purse to another colleague's adopted
black son.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
It was a small, live lizard and not a logo at.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
All, So it's like trendy to have the lizards inside.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Yes, I would.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
I could see that I would totally want a pet
lizard if I was in prison.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
People do not normally spend much time on the ground
unless there's an active alarm. Suddenly seeing so many people
crouch down, kneeling and digging in dirt and not so
sanitary areas and did give me anothers pause. I would
compare it to something going viral on social media from
the way I understand it to work.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
Again, she's on the inside, so we're still talking about lizards.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
This is the result of having the having to have
the newest latest, What did they idem?
Speaker 3 (29:53):
What are they doing with the lizards?
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Once I understood the entire situation, I was impressed by
the commitment people had made to the well being and
survival of their lizards. Most lizards had a comfortable house
made for them out of everyday items found or repurposed.
Picture of plastic non dairy creamer bottle look like allound
to create a small pond like a.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Toilet paper roll for the little lizard to play in.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Yeah, set inside a square five quartz snapware container with
soil and grass and rocks and a small branch with leaves.
The top is covered with a white kitchen hairnet to
allow air to circulate.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Man, lizards have made it at chow chill. That sounds
like a nice life for a lizard. Get all these
toys and a nice little sanitized environment there in your
little plastic home.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Again, the writer of this piece lizards, Well, they need food.
They need light too, don't they. What do they feeding them? Lizards?
Probably bugs so you could get in the in the
in the air in your it's a jail.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Thank you, Jimmy, thank you.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
People want nothing to do with lizards, whether from a
genuine fear or dislike of Crawley critters. Some are dog people,
some are cat people. Again, this makes me think of
the way some people live for Fendy while others only
wear Gucci. Lizards are the new Fendi bags, at least
for this season.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Debra is the person who knows labels.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
I do not.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Debor Fendy versus Gucci. What's the deal?
Speaker 5 (31:29):
I'd probably say Gucci over Fendy.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Is Gucci just more classic like Chanel and Fendy's kind
of newer Chanelle?
Speaker 5 (31:38):
Chanelle is on top, right, right, And then I would
say Gucci and then and then Fendy more much about trendy.
I mean I think Gucci is is more trendy. Oh okay, yeah,
I don't only see a.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Whole lot of Fendy.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Versus Gucci's easier. I see a lot of Gucci because
I think it's easier to counterfit.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
I don't know they're all emman. I can go. You
can go to certain places, and you can I don't.
I've been to those places.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
I went to Santi Alley and bought a knockoff purse,
one of the first things I did when I moved
to La Jody Becker took me.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Okay, what brands?
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Chanel?
Speaker 3 (32:20):
You did? I bought fake Chanelle? Do you still have it?
Speaker 4 (32:23):
No?
Speaker 1 (32:23):
That thing fell apart within about six months. It was
it was a cool purse. I loved it. It's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Yeah, you weren't actually supposed to use it, but it
was forty dollars do you expect? But I liked it.
I haven't been back since. John Cobboltchows coming up now.
John knows all about designer? Does he really? You can
ask him?
Speaker 1 (32:44):
He buys his underwear and bulk at a store in
Lake Arrowhead.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
He does the hell does he know about brand?
Speaker 5 (32:50):
And buy your underwear and bulk at a store in
Lake Arrowhead.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
You're welcome, she remembers.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
It's hard to forget. Yeah, all right, John's up next.
We'll see you tomorrow.
