Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show, on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
The Local Store, and What's not local but it is?
California investigator still looking for the suspects in that shooting
at a birthday party in Stockton. Apparently was a birthday
party for a two year old San Joaquin County Sheriff's
Department increased the number of victims to fifteen. Now four
of them were killed. Eight nine, fourteen and twenty one
(00:30):
were the ages of those killed. Eleven others hospitalized and
including at least one other kid. At this point, no
suspects that they have named, but they believe it may
have been a targeted gang attack.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
We talked about this story and we'll get to it later.
Kind of ran out of time for it, but DNA
test kits like twenty three and me leading to surprise
airs that are popping up and now demanding inheritance. I'll
tell you about a couple anecdotes there as well. But
eleven o'clock, man, I have been away from this game
for quite a while, but we'd dive back into Washington,
(01:03):
see what's going on.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar.
And when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Yeah, we got the real problem is that our leaders
are done.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
The other side never quits.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
So what I'm not going anywhere?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
So that now you train the squaw, I can imagine
what can be and be unburdened by what has been.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
You know, Americans have always been gone at present, but
they're not stupid.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Who have the people voted for you? With na swamp watch?
They're all counting on.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Okay, there's a couple of developing stories coming out of
DC right now. Caroline Love at the White House Press
Secretary is answering questions at her regular briefing. Among other things,
they have released the information about the MRI. Yesterday, the
President was on Air Force one headed back to d C.
(01:56):
Reporters were asking about, Hey, remember that MRI that you
took but nobody knew why and you said it was perfect,
and what's going on. Sean Barberella, doctor, a physician to
the president, Navy captain as well, explained in a letter
to Caroline Levitt, what happened said, as part of the
comprehensive executive physical advanced imaging was performed because men in
(02:20):
his age group benefit from a thorough evaluation of cardiovascular
and abdominal health. So they said they that's what the
MRI was, the cardiovascular system and his abdomen. And they
said the imaging was perfectly normal. No, it wasn't. Well,
I guess it's perfect perfectly normal. No evidence of arterial narrowing,
impairing blood flow, or abnormalities in the heart of or
(02:43):
major vessels. The heart chambers, normal vessel walls, smooth and healthy,
no signs of inflammation or clotting or anything, which is
great for a guy his age said. His abdominal imaging
was also perfectly normal. Major organs appear very healthy, well perfused.
Everything evaluated as functioning the normal limits with no acute
or chronic concerns.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
There is a scathing one hundred and fifteen page report
by well retired in active duty FBI special agents and analysts,
and it has been sent to judiciary committees on Capitol Hill,
and it's based on confidential accounts from twenty four FBI
(03:24):
sources and apparently. It says the FBI is paralyzed right
now by fear and by plummeting morale, that cash Battel
is in over his head, and that this is a
chronically underperforming agency. They accuse cash Battel of lacking the
experience to lead the FBI, and they say that managers
(03:44):
are not taking the initiative without explicit direction for fear
of being fired. It's interesting when something like this happens,
Right when somebody becomes the head of an organization and
the people who have been there much longer, who are
in management positions decide, you know what, I'm I'm just
going to go along to get along because I don't
want my ass to get fired. Even though I know
this guy doesn't know what the hell he's doing, I'm
(04:06):
not going to fall on that sword. I don't think
that that is unique to the FBI, No, but.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
It is much higher profile than we would see it
at the FBI than we would it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
It's kind of like it's like what you saw with
the Aaron Rodgers press conference with the Steelers last night.
You know, they were like, what's wrong with this system?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
With it?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
And he was like, I know what you're trying to do.
You're trying to get me to throw my bosses under
the bus. I'm not going to do it. Because Aaron
Rodgers has been around a long time and he can
see where maybe there are some some coaching matters or
some scheme problems, and he's like, I'm not going to
fall on this sword. I'm not going to make everything
about football.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
No, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
It's been a couple of weeks, we haven't had the opportunity,
but I think I will say pitchers and catchers report
in seventy days.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I just don't like it go along to get along
mentality if it involves the FBI, you know what I mean. Like,
there's certain organizations like the Steelers where that's okay, but
not with the FBI.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Right.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
The other big story that came out over the Thanksgiving holiday,
of course, was this Washington Post report that suggested that
Pete Hegseth gave a kill order as part of this
drug intradiction plan that the US military has gotten involved
with down on the Caribbean. Specifically, September second, there was
an attack on a boat the belief to have been
(05:30):
carrying drugs, and that of the eleven people that were
on the boat. Two of them survived the initial missile strike.
And that again, this is the Washington Post reporting. Pete
Hegseth said, kill them all, and then you go back
and drop a second missile and blow those guys into
a fine pink mist That would actually be against military law.
(05:52):
That would be against the Geneva Convention, because once you
knock somebody out of the fight, they become sick, they're
not close to the fight, whatever it is. You can't
go back and finish the job. To use a vernacular now,
just a short time ago, Caroline Levitt from the White
(06:14):
House Press Room said that Admiral Frank Bradley was the
one who made the call on this.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
See if I can play this for you, I.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Have a statement to read for you here. President Trump
and Secretary Hegseth have made it clear that presidentially designated
narco terrorist groups are subject to lethal targeting in accordance
with the laws of war. With respect to the strikes
in question. On September second, Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley
to conduct these kinetic strikes. Admiral Bradley worked well within
(06:47):
his authority and the law directing the engagement to ensure
the boat was destroyed and the threat to the United
States of America was eliminated.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Again, there are some legal ramifications to this potentially, that is,
if this Washington Post report is correct, and if this
order did come from the Secretary of Defense, then Pete
haig Seth could be in some trouble. The Congress has
decided that they're going to investigate all of this. The
National Review writer Andy McCarthy Andrew McCarthy wrote a great
(07:17):
piece about the legal justification for this and why this
could cause massive problems not just for Pete hagg Seth,
but for the administration as a whole if it gets
any worse. Just a quick note also, Ukraine's president says
he's pretty optimistic about the revisions to the peace plan
that were made originally two weeks ago. Now they were
(07:40):
talking about this twenty eight point piece plan. They have
been talking with Americans have been talking with Ukrainian counterparts
in Miami of all places, and then a bunch of
them today, including Steve Whitcoff, Dimple's Kushner, Marco Rubio. They
were all supposed to go to Moscow to get an
update on that side of it today.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
As well, Gary and I will continue Richard Dreyfus family
drama to tell you about his daughter feeling relieved after
her brother reveals that they don't talk to data anymore.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
What could it be? What happened? I wonder if they
listened to this.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Because we had an interaction with Richard Dreyfus and it
did not go well.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
And if you want to know what we sounded like
ten years ago, tuned in.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
And his son and daughter looked to be about the
kind of people that would be Gary and Show f
Gary and Shannon Show family members interesting. Do you think
that there?
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Maybe?
Speaker 4 (08:33):
I mean, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
He does, yeah, this tree, he likes this tree.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Oh okay, I do like this tree as well. Conway
sent me video of the tree the first night it
was put up, and he said, here's a tree you hate,
And usually I do hate the tree in the studio
only because it's so artistic and I have zero taste
and zero art appreciation that like, I don't get it.
(09:07):
Like when I see a pink Christmas tree, I don't
get it. I'm confused. I don't appreciate it. It is
playing on a field above my ability to conceive how
that could be about Christmas. When I see a powder
blue Christmas tree with powder blue ornaments, same thing to me.
(09:30):
It doesn't say Christmas. It says baby welcome baby boy
into the world tree or something, you know what I mean,
or baby girl, whatever you want to do. But this year,
the Christmas tree is red and green and gold. It
is a beautiful Christmas tree. It is classic. It's got
(09:51):
classic ornaments that are reminiscent of my grandparents Christmas tree.
It is a perfect Christmas tree. And nay, I will
also go as far as to say the tree downstairs
also a beautiful maroon ornament adorned. No Christmas tree nor normal.
Usually one of these trees f's things up around here.
(10:13):
Either it's a downstairs tree or the upstairs tree. Someone's
got to be different. It's got to be a different
tree at the party. This year, we went back to
the classics.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Feels better.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
It does feels like some of that fracture that we
talked about early in the show starting to heal a
little bit. Go back and check out the podcast, so
you know what we're talking about. Richard Dreyfus's son, Ben
says he and his two siblings have been estranged from
their father for years years.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Would you argue that that could be about eight years.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Twenty sixteen February ish, nine years. Ben says dad has
no money. He said if he did, we wouldn't get
it since we've been estranged ever since some complicated family
drama to do with me too, which would have been
twenty seventeen. Ben said his relationship with his father, Richard,
(11:11):
began to break down because of a specific incident. He
was allegedly managing Richard's Twitter account and wrote a post
supporting his younger brother Harry, who had accused Kevin Spacey
of groping him when he was eighteen years old. In
the time, a lawyer representing Kevin Spacey denied the allegations
that apparently prompted someone to me too my dad, says Ben,
(11:34):
and he's since blamed his children for the whole incident.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Now I'm going to have led to years of actress.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I'm going to back up Richard Dreyfus a little bit here,
because I don't see him me tooing anybody. In fact,
I me tooed Richard Dreyfus quite a bit verbally and.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
So, okay, be careful. That's we just said he was.
He would came off as a complete ahole.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
No, I me tuned him in the form of verbal
grab assory. I grabbed his ass wholeheartedly. I'm me too,
the hell out of Richard Dreyfus. And we had him
on sound weird because follow me. I was excited to
have him on. I love Richard Dreyfus, I love What
About Bob, I loved mister Holland's Opus, I loved all
(12:16):
his movies. So when we had him on, I grabbed
a bunch of ass.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I was like, you're great. I love your stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
This is so cool, and he crapped all over my
me toos.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
February third, twenty sixteen, playing Bernie made Off in the
mini series is Richard Dreyfus. Actor Richard Dreyfus joins us
on The Gary and Shannon Show. First of all, good afternoon,
Good afternoon, Hey, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Sure you're probably tired of talking to people on the
radio all day, but.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
We're I'll give you twenty dollars if you can ask
me a question I haven't heard before.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Boy, I mean out the gate and I think we
laugh at Oh ha ha, you're so funny. Oh he
thinks he could be himself with us, This is great. No,
he was just an a hole.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
He was just an age right out the game.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
No, no, no, no, you're on all right?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Go ahead?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Oh, because I have a good question. When you watch
mister Holland's Opus, do you cry like I cry? Bs?
I do, mostly because I'm not that young anymore.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Were now waiting does that qualify for twenty dollars?
Speaker 4 (13:30):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Because he has no money.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
If we knew that before, Yeah, now we know why
he wasn't gonna work over twenty He just.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
He was so he was so hard to talk to.
We tried everything, we we fluffed him up, we did
all the things, and he was just awful to us.
It didn't get better from there. From that interview, it
was just it was such a disappointment because I was
so because I do love that movie so much and
I love that character so much. But when I was
reading through my People magazine and I I saw this,
(14:00):
and I thought, it seems like it lines up. The
timing of his kids stopping to talk to him lines
up with when he did that interview with us, and
so I'm just thinking that maybe the son and the
daughter are part of the Gas family and they heard
dad be an a hole to us, and they said,
you know what, that's it, You know what, that's the
(14:22):
final straw. Dad. Do you think that's what happened?
Speaker 3 (14:28):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I have a hard time figuring out. And listen, everybody's
relationship is different. The relationship with your relationship with your
parents is never going to be the same as somebody
else's relationship with their parents, especially in Hollywood where this
guy has made forty or fifty movie.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
But if I.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Heard my dad on the air with Tim Conway Junior
and he was like that, I'd cut him off. If
he was like that to Tim Conway Junior, my favorite
radio host, I would be done with my dad.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I'd be like, that is it?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
No more final straw? Tim Conway Junior, Lovely Show, lovely human.
He's there just to shed sunshine on people's lives. He's
gonna have Richard Dreyfus excuse me my dad on and
talk about my dad's work and all the wonderful things
my dad has done his career, and he's just gonna
crap on Conway. Absolutely not. I'm done and my dad
(15:27):
would never do that. God God rest his soul. But
I'm just trying to put ourselves in the shoes of
the parents. If we are their favorite radio show and
their dad came on our show and was a total
a hole, I can see where ties.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Would be cut.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Richard Drevis apparently wrote an all caps letter to his
kid because apparently Ben thought that, or he believed that.
Ben thought, I have money that I'm keeping from you
all caps. At least keep this one letter. It'll be
the last one unless you stop being a coward or
(16:03):
start being better than your brother or sister. As I
told you to start writing me without any attempt to
explain all the things that you said on the last
night at the restaurant.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Not sure what he's talking about.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Until you all wrote something addressing the lies distortions that
kept a set of different feelings values, kept them hidden
from me, you would not be hearing from me, and
Ben believes that that's the last thing he will ever
hear from him.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I think maybe there's a mental illness there, maybe a
little bit of a breakdown.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
It could be it could also just be arrogance.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Yeah, I see. That's how I felt when we talked
to him. I felt like he was so arrogant.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
When I listened to that interview, I pointed out that
he if you were to look at perhaps the top
one hundred movies of American cinema, right just in terms
of whether it's success or groundbreaking nature or stories that
you know that no other person could be involved with.
(17:02):
He's got a list of the graduate American graffiti, Jaws,
Close Encounters of the Third Kind stand by me. He's
got Rosen Krantz and Guildistern Are Dead. That's a little
bit off mister Hollins opus the American President. I mean,
he's got some some movies, just movies in there that
(17:24):
are epic movies.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
And we said. I said that to him. I was like,
you have a list, this is great.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
You me toot them too well. I got in there.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
His cheeks were warm from where your hands were, right,
but I just felt like you could. I don't know,
it's all of it struck me wrong. And I remember
that just gross field feeling.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
That was awful. I felt awful. I felt like we, yeah,
we fluffed some. I mean, I'll stop, let's move on.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
You're gonna bring back all the band, all right, ozempic
back in the back In the news today, the World
Health Organization is getting into this. Why did you put
pizza in the show today? I listen, I'm going through something.
I have not had pizza in a while, and I
feel like if the universe has been speaking to me
(18:16):
in the last couple of days. Every pizza commercial came
on while I was paying attention to the TV yesterday,
and then we see the story about pizza economy.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
So not boner pills, No, not yet, at least not
that at this point. I mean, because it okay to
be clear that you were asking about whether we have
been asked we've been approached to right as opposed to
me using them.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
You had told me we were approached to advertise for something.
And then we came back from the break and I wondered,
if we've reached the age and the time of the
show when we start advertising. I don't think so x
x X bone er bone or boner, which I'm fine with.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
You are.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I think it's okay that we I mean, if people
want to get into it, then they want to get
into it. The only problem I would have is that
I can't test them out because I don't have a penis.
So you would have to test them out because you
have a penis presumably, and you can't advertise something you
haven't really tested out, like we both have American Vision windows.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Because we literally have American Vision windows.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
So you'd have to take the xxx and see what happens.
You know, how does it make you feel? We don't know. Anyway,
we can have that conversation when we need to cross
that bridge.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Tomorrow fifteenth ANNUALFI pastath on live broadcast.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Aren't you glad We're back to me?
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Is Giving Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
We will be out there at the Anaheim White House
Restaurant from five in the morning. Amy King is going
to be out there with way Up call of course,
everybody from the Handles show us, John Conway's crew, everybody.
We're all out there to benefit Chef Bruno's charity. Katerina
Club provides more than twenty five thousand meals every single
week to kids in need in southern California, and your
generosity can make it all happen. Now, there's a lot
(20:15):
of information if you go to kfiam six forty dot
com slash pastathon all the information about how you can
donate at Smart and Final, at Yama Va, at Wendy's Restaurants,
at Wildfork Foods, at the Giving Machine charity Kiosks, but
also on that website, Kfi.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Said reports dot com Pastason is.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
All of our auction items that are up there and
what we are auctioning again this year because it's been
pretty successful the last few years, is to go to
a Dodgers game in a suite the World Champions Stadium.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Los Angeles Dodgers back to back season.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Now, the idea is that we are there as well,
but that's totally up to you. Like, if you want
just the weat opportunity, that's okay.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
We understand there's something you can do whatever you want
in there.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
And we're gonna, i mean, like if necessary, we'll sit
in the corner and just respond to clicks and whistles,
right if there's anything you need. But but we've had
a great time. Some of those games have been spectacular.
It's during the middle of summer, so it's a beautiful,
beautiful a day.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
If you want Gary to sit in a corner and
you lower a bucket filled with lotion to him. That's fine, Yeah,
but it's got to be above the bid that it
currently sits at. Gary's not going to put lotion on
unless maybe three three grand.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
You want any more than that, you're going to have
to do a lot better. Yeah, if you want.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Lotion on Gary, that's not just on his hands. You're
gonna have to get up to four grand. Now, five
grand is where we're usually around. That's when things get
to be creative. You know, I'm gonna stop. I think
we're at a time.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
We had a time.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
We're out of time.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Look at that.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
We got to go.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
What are you want to talk about next? Pizza? We
have a couple of Oh you want to do the
pizza story? I think so pizza.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
I don't think I can get any trouble with pizza.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Peza is one of those barometers for the condition of
our economy.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I didn't know this.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
I knew about lipstick. The economy takes a turn.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
People don't buy lipstick as much because it's kind of
a luxury purchase. You don't really need it. You don't
need an extra tube of lipstick. Tube of lipstick. By
the way, something my grandmother would say.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
I had a friend who was a personal assistant to
Richard Dreyfus, and he hated it and hated him. He
said it was absolutely the worst job he has ever
had in his life, and he had a hell of
the time getting paid also, So yeah, he's kind of
a jerk.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
I would love to have him back on just for
my own personal piece of just being real with him.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
You want some closure.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I do want some closure. I should just let it go.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I should. I'm kind of surprised because you do that
a lot. You just let that go. Yeah, but this
one is stuck in you for some reason.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Well, now that I know he doesn't talk to his family,
I feel like maybe we could help him. See well,
that first will break him completely before we build him
back up.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
It's like Karate kid. You know, we're gonna sweep the
leg a little bit and then and then we'll do
the other stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Sweep the leg was the bad guy, right, Well, I
mean like when mister Miyagi brings the kid to the
home and then see now paint the fence and they
do the fencing and the waxing, and it's like you
got to you gotta crawl before you walk right, Richard
Dreyfus needs to to run really and be with his
(23:51):
family for the holidays. But before he mend things with
his family, he's got a crawl with us and mend
things with us on the show.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
To get to the point where he can be cool
is probably what he's thinking about right now.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
We are certainly excited to see you tomorrow. We know
you're going to stop by between nine and one. It
will be the fifteenth annual KFI Pastathon Live broadcast tomorrow
at the Anaheim White House, but it won't be the
same if you are not there. Stop by five minutes.
What have you your lunch hour? Takeoff, come hang out.
It really is the best way to kick off the
(24:33):
holiday season. When you're out there spending crazy amounts of
money on presents and things, you have a good feeling
in your heart knowing it started with your donation to
Katerina's Club, which provides more than twenty five thousand meals
every week to hungry kids in southern California, and it's
all because of you. Without the kind of money we
(24:53):
raise for Pastathon every year. You wouldn't have these hungry
kids getting meals every week, not to the tune of
twenty five thousand the way Chef Bruno does it.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
And someone at Katla has made a grave error because
they invited us to come on to the show, to
their newscast tonight to talk about to talk about pastapon
Chef Bruno as well.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Yeah, I'm still not convinced they're gonna that's real, that
they're going to actually in.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Yeah, we got the email that told us where to go,
and yeah, I mean, what are you gonna where?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I'm gonna wear this? Probably take off my jacket because
it's probably not negative twenty seven degrees in their studios.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
It might be they have TV lights and things like that.
But I guess they're not the same.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
But they wear all they don't have to wear coats
while I'm looking at their studio. That's good to La.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
But she's in a tank top. That's different?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Is that different?
Speaker 3 (25:50):
It can't be that.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I don't remember. We haven't done television for so long.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Is it cold in those rooms? Can be pizzas.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
People are ordering smaller pizzas and were toppings, and apparently
that is bad News for the Economy, the national average
of a price of a large cheese pizza has crept
up to seventeen dollars. You can get a seventeen dollars
large cheese pizza.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Let me know where that.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
So I read that as well, and I thought that
doesn't Again, I'm not buying pizzas every two or three
a week, but I still feel like that was pretty low.
Large cheese seventeen is the average. They said that competition
from other restaurants on popular delivery apps and shifting eating
habits are partly responsible, but also an indicator that this
(26:38):
is a struggle economically for some people.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Is this an ozempic thing or part of it? On
ozempic they don't eat as much part of it, I understand.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
So I know a couple of people who are on
different GLP ones and I'm amazed at how little they
can eat. Oh really, I feel satisfied it. I mean
to the point where it's like that can't that can't
be right. But it makes sense why it is so
successful because these people are eating miniature portions compared to
what they used to do.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
But what they used to do or what I would
eat or whatever for me that's fascinating.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
That plays into the whole biology and not psychological reason
for overeating. But there's a biological reason more than a
psychological issue for the people that it works for sure,
Because for me, if I'm overeating, when I overeat, it's
not because I'm hungry for those eminems, It's because of
psychological reason. It's well, there's I think that eminems are
(27:31):
going to make me happy, so I'm going to keep
eating more and more and more.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
And I would assume that that. But the ozampi doesn't
fix that. I think that people still get a beyond
the necessity of alleviating their hunger. People still still do
get a pleasure out of eating. Yeah, but that it
takes so little to satisfy that.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Oh, that's great, that is wonderful.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Right now, pizza chains make up about two thirds of
the fifty billion dollar a year pizza industry, and those
pizza change, they said, have been flat since twenty twenty three,
sales wise, They said, industry insiders are gearing up for
weight loss drugs to shake up the economy. Restaurants are
(28:18):
just one of the things. Pizza obviously, but grocery, gyms,
travel apparel, all of them, causing a psychological shift. And
as people's bodies change, so do their decisions on how
they're going to spend their time and money. Because if
you listen, one of the great things about a pizza
is if you're eating it at home, nobody has to
(28:40):
know how many pieces you put away, Nobody except maybe
you live with somebody, or you eat in the garage
so she doesn't.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Have to watch you.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
But what is the man in the glass? Sah?
Speaker 3 (28:54):
What is that man? Glad? What do you mean the
guy looking back at me? Yeah, he knows, he knows
how many pizzas?
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah, says I should have turned the light off in
the garage while I was eating, so I didn't catch
my reflection in the side of the car.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
You're okay, if you wanted to binge a pizza right now,
you'd be fine.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
You do that?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
What once a year?
Speaker 3 (29:13):
You'll eat like a pizza A pizza, Yes, and then
I have a heart attack.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
See that's why I used to always like those frozen
to Tino's combination pizzas. Eat one of those whole pizza
is like nothing, you know, but it gives you the feeling.
I ate a whole pizza. Yeah, I like those those
little cube pepperonis well freeze freeze dried freeze scarred sausage bits.
(29:40):
That's delicious. The last time I had one didn't taste
is good. Yeah, yeah, it didn't taste. It tasted when
I was twenty two.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
That's part of it.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Something inside. If you dies when you get older, he
starts stop tasting good foods.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
You've burned it out, all right, No, No, I think
part of it is also the Yeah, we make food now,
I know different well, and I eat clean.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Because you have to eat cleaner as you get older.
You can't eat Totino's pizza five times a week, you know,
the way you used to be.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
You could, though, bet you I could. She could.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
When we come back the first massive twelve o'clock hour
we've done in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I do believe that come from.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Coming up next on Gary and Shannon. You've been listening
to The Gary and Shannon Show. You can always hear
us live on KFI AM six forty nine am to
one pm every Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show, on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
The Local Store, and What's not local but it is?
California investigator still looking for the suspects in that shooting
at a birthday party in Stockton. Apparently was a birthday
party for a two year old San Joaquin County Sheriff's
Department increased the number of victims to fifteen. Now four
of them were killed. Eight nine, fourteen and twenty one
(00:30):
were the ages of those killed. Eleven others hospitalized and
including at least one other kid. At this point, no
suspects that they have named, but they believe it may
have been a targeted gang attack.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
We talked about this story and we'll get to it later.
Kind of ran out of time for it, but DNA
test kits like twenty three and me leading to surprise
airs that are popping up and now demanding inheritance. I'll
tell you about a couple anecdotes there as well. But
eleven o'clock, man, I have been away from this game
for quite a while, but we'd dive back into Washington,
(01:03):
see what's going on.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar.
And when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Yeah, we got the real problem is that our leaders
are done.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
The other side never quits.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
So what I'm not going anywhere?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
So that now you train the squaw, I can imagine
what can be and be unburdened by what has been.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
You know, Americans have always been gone at present, but
they're not stupid.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Who have the people voted for you? With na swamp watch?
They're all counting on.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Okay, there's a couple of developing stories coming out of
DC right now. Caroline Love at the White House Press
Secretary is answering questions at her regular briefing. Among other things,
they have released the information about the MRI. Yesterday, the
President was on Air Force one headed back to d C.
(01:56):
Reporters were asking about, Hey, remember that MRI that you
took but nobody knew why and you said it was perfect,
and what's going on. Sean Barberella, doctor, a physician to
the president, Navy captain as well, explained in a letter
to Caroline Levitt, what happened said, as part of the
comprehensive executive physical advanced imaging was performed because men in
(02:20):
his age group benefit from a thorough evaluation of cardiovascular
and abdominal health. So they said they that's what the
MRI was, the cardiovascular system and his abdomen. And they
said the imaging was perfectly normal. No, it wasn't. Well,
I guess it's perfect perfectly normal. No evidence of arterial narrowing,
impairing blood flow, or abnormalities in the heart of or
(02:43):
major vessels. The heart chambers, normal vessel walls, smooth and healthy,
no signs of inflammation or clotting or anything, which is
great for a guy his age said. His abdominal imaging
was also perfectly normal. Major organs appear very healthy, well perfused.
Everything evaluated as functioning the normal limits with no acute
or chronic concerns.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
There is a scathing one hundred and fifteen page report
by well retired in active duty FBI special agents and analysts,
and it has been sent to judiciary committees on Capitol Hill,
and it's based on confidential accounts from twenty four FBI
(03:24):
sources and apparently. It says the FBI is paralyzed right
now by fear and by plummeting morale, that cash Battel
is in over his head, and that this is a
chronically underperforming agency. They accuse cash Battel of lacking the
experience to lead the FBI, and they say that managers
(03:44):
are not taking the initiative without explicit direction for fear
of being fired. It's interesting when something like this happens,
Right when somebody becomes the head of an organization and
the people who have been there much longer, who are
in management positions decide, you know what, I'm I'm just
going to go along to get along because I don't
want my ass to get fired. Even though I know
this guy doesn't know what the hell he's doing, I'm
(04:06):
not going to fall on that sword. I don't think
that that is unique to the FBI, No, but.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
It is much higher profile than we would see it
at the FBI than we would it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
It's kind of like it's like what you saw with
the Aaron Rodgers press conference with the Steelers last night.
You know, they were like, what's wrong with this system?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
With it?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
And he was like, I know what you're trying to do.
You're trying to get me to throw my bosses under
the bus. I'm not going to do it. Because Aaron
Rodgers has been around a long time and he can
see where maybe there are some some coaching matters or
some scheme problems, and he's like, I'm not going to
fall on this sword. I'm not going to make everything
about football.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
No, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
It's been a couple of weeks, we haven't had the opportunity,
but I think I will say pitchers and catchers report
in seventy days.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I just don't like it go along to get along
mentality if it involves the FBI, you know what I mean. Like,
there's certain organizations like the Steelers where that's okay, but
not with the FBI.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Right.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
The other big story that came out over the Thanksgiving holiday,
of course, was this Washington Post report that suggested that
Pete Hegseth gave a kill order as part of this
drug intradiction plan that the US military has gotten involved
with down on the Caribbean. Specifically, September second, there was
an attack on a boat the belief to have been
(05:30):
carrying drugs, and that of the eleven people that were
on the boat. Two of them survived the initial missile strike.
And that again, this is the Washington Post reporting. Pete
Hegseth said, kill them all, and then you go back
and drop a second missile and blow those guys into
a fine pink mist That would actually be against military law.
(05:52):
That would be against the Geneva Convention, because once you
knock somebody out of the fight, they become sick, they're
not close to the fight, whatever it is. You can't
go back and finish the job. To use a vernacular now,
just a short time ago, Caroline Levitt from the White
(06:14):
House Press Room said that Admiral Frank Bradley was the
one who made the call on this.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
See if I can play this for you, I.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Have a statement to read for you here. President Trump
and Secretary Hegseth have made it clear that presidentially designated
narco terrorist groups are subject to lethal targeting in accordance
with the laws of war. With respect to the strikes
in question. On September second, Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley
to conduct these kinetic strikes. Admiral Bradley worked well within
(06:47):
his authority and the law directing the engagement to ensure
the boat was destroyed and the threat to the United
States of America was eliminated.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Again, there are some legal ramifications to this potentially, that is,
if this Washington Post report is correct, and if this
order did come from the Secretary of Defense, then Pete
haig Seth could be in some trouble. The Congress has
decided that they're going to investigate all of this. The
National Review writer Andy McCarthy Andrew McCarthy wrote a great
(07:17):
piece about the legal justification for this and why this
could cause massive problems not just for Pete hagg Seth,
but for the administration as a whole if it gets
any worse. Just a quick note also, Ukraine's president says
he's pretty optimistic about the revisions to the peace plan
that were made originally two weeks ago. Now they were
(07:40):
talking about this twenty eight point piece plan. They have
been talking with Americans have been talking with Ukrainian counterparts
in Miami of all places, and then a bunch of
them today, including Steve Whitcoff, Dimple's Kushner, Marco Rubio. They
were all supposed to go to Moscow to get an
update on that side of it today.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
As well, Gary and I will continue Richard Dreyfus family
drama to tell you about his daughter feeling relieved after
her brother reveals that they don't talk to data anymore.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
What could it be? What happened? I wonder if they
listened to this.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Because we had an interaction with Richard Dreyfus and it
did not go well.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
And if you want to know what we sounded like
ten years ago, tuned in.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
And his son and daughter looked to be about the
kind of people that would be Gary and Show f
Gary and Shannon Show family members interesting. Do you think
that there?
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Maybe?
Speaker 4 (08:33):
I mean, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
He does, yeah, this tree, he likes this tree.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Oh okay, I do like this tree as well. Conway
sent me video of the tree the first night it
was put up, and he said, here's a tree you hate,
And usually I do hate the tree in the studio
only because it's so artistic and I have zero taste
and zero art appreciation that like, I don't get it.
(09:07):
Like when I see a pink Christmas tree, I don't
get it. I'm confused. I don't appreciate it. It is
playing on a field above my ability to conceive how
that could be about Christmas. When I see a powder
blue Christmas tree with powder blue ornaments, same thing to me.
(09:30):
It doesn't say Christmas. It says baby welcome baby boy
into the world tree or something, you know what I mean,
or baby girl, whatever you want to do. But this year,
the Christmas tree is red and green and gold. It
is a beautiful Christmas tree. It is classic. It's got
(09:51):
classic ornaments that are reminiscent of my grandparents Christmas tree.
It is a perfect Christmas tree. And nay, I will
also go as far as to say the tree downstairs
also a beautiful maroon ornament adorned. No Christmas tree nor normal.
Usually one of these trees f's things up around here.
(10:13):
Either it's a downstairs tree or the upstairs tree. Someone's
got to be different. It's got to be a different
tree at the party. This year, we went back to
the classics.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Feels better.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
It does feels like some of that fracture that we
talked about early in the show starting to heal a
little bit. Go back and check out the podcast, so
you know what we're talking about. Richard Dreyfus's son, Ben
says he and his two siblings have been estranged from
their father for years years.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Would you argue that that could be about eight years.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Twenty sixteen February ish, nine years. Ben says dad has
no money. He said if he did, we wouldn't get
it since we've been estranged ever since some complicated family
drama to do with me too, which would have been
twenty seventeen. Ben said his relationship with his father, Richard,
(11:11):
began to break down because of a specific incident. He
was allegedly managing Richard's Twitter account and wrote a post
supporting his younger brother Harry, who had accused Kevin Spacey
of groping him when he was eighteen years old. In
the time, a lawyer representing Kevin Spacey denied the allegations
that apparently prompted someone to me too my dad, says Ben,
(11:34):
and he's since blamed his children for the whole incident.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Now I'm going to have led to years of actress.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I'm going to back up Richard Dreyfus a little bit here,
because I don't see him me tooing anybody. In fact,
I me tooed Richard Dreyfus quite a bit verbally and.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
So, okay, be careful. That's we just said he was.
He would came off as a complete ahole.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
No, I me tuned him in the form of verbal
grab assory. I grabbed his ass wholeheartedly. I'm me too,
the hell out of Richard Dreyfus. And we had him
on sound weird because follow me. I was excited to
have him on. I love Richard Dreyfus, I love What
About Bob, I loved mister Holland's Opus, I loved all
(12:16):
his movies. So when we had him on, I grabbed
a bunch of ass.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I was like, you're great. I love your stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
This is so cool, and he crapped all over my
me toos.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
February third, twenty sixteen, playing Bernie made Off in the
mini series is Richard Dreyfus. Actor Richard Dreyfus joins us
on The Gary and Shannon Show. First of all, good afternoon,
Good afternoon, Hey, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Sure you're probably tired of talking to people on the
radio all day, but.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
We're I'll give you twenty dollars if you can ask
me a question I haven't heard before.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Boy, I mean out the gate and I think we
laugh at Oh ha ha, you're so funny. Oh he
thinks he could be himself with us, This is great. No,
he was just an a hole.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
He was just an age right out the game.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
No, no, no, no, you're on all right?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Go ahead?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Oh, because I have a good question. When you watch
mister Holland's Opus, do you cry like I cry? Bs?
I do, mostly because I'm not that young anymore.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Were now waiting does that qualify for twenty dollars?
Speaker 4 (13:30):
No?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Because he has no money.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
If we knew that before, Yeah, now we know why
he wasn't gonna work over twenty He just.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
He was so he was so hard to talk to.
We tried everything, we we fluffed him up, we did
all the things, and he was just awful to us.
It didn't get better from there. From that interview, it
was just it was such a disappointment because I was
so because I do love that movie so much and
I love that character so much. But when I was
reading through my People magazine and I I saw this,
(14:00):
and I thought, it seems like it lines up. The
timing of his kids stopping to talk to him lines
up with when he did that interview with us, and
so I'm just thinking that maybe the son and the
daughter are part of the Gas family and they heard
dad be an a hole to us, and they said,
you know what, that's it, You know what, that's the
(14:22):
final straw. Dad. Do you think that's what happened?
Speaker 3 (14:28):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I have a hard time figuring out. And listen, everybody's
relationship is different. The relationship with your relationship with your
parents is never going to be the same as somebody
else's relationship with their parents, especially in Hollywood where this
guy has made forty or fifty movie.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
But if I.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Heard my dad on the air with Tim Conway Junior
and he was like that, I'd cut him off. If
he was like that to Tim Conway Junior, my favorite
radio host, I would be done with my dad.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I'd be like, that is it?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
No more final straw? Tim Conway Junior, Lovely Show, lovely human.
He's there just to shed sunshine on people's lives. He's
gonna have Richard Dreyfus excuse me my dad on and
talk about my dad's work and all the wonderful things
my dad has done his career, and he's just gonna
crap on Conway. Absolutely not. I'm done and my dad
(15:27):
would never do that. God God rest his soul. But
I'm just trying to put ourselves in the shoes of
the parents. If we are their favorite radio show and
their dad came on our show and was a total
a hole, I can see where ties.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Would be cut.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Richard Drevis apparently wrote an all caps letter to his
kid because apparently Ben thought that, or he believed that.
Ben thought, I have money that I'm keeping from you
all caps. At least keep this one letter. It'll be
the last one unless you stop being a coward or
(16:03):
start being better than your brother or sister. As I
told you to start writing me without any attempt to
explain all the things that you said on the last
night at the restaurant.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Not sure what he's talking about.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Until you all wrote something addressing the lies distortions that
kept a set of different feelings values, kept them hidden
from me, you would not be hearing from me, and
Ben believes that that's the last thing he will ever
hear from him.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I think maybe there's a mental illness there, maybe a
little bit of a breakdown.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
It could be it could also just be arrogance.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Yeah, I see. That's how I felt when we talked
to him. I felt like he was so arrogant.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
When I listened to that interview, I pointed out that
he if you were to look at perhaps the top
one hundred movies of American cinema, right just in terms
of whether it's success or groundbreaking nature or stories that
you know that no other person could be involved with.
(17:02):
He's got a list of the graduate American graffiti, Jaws,
Close Encounters of the Third Kind stand by me. He's
got Rosen Krantz and Guildistern Are Dead. That's a little
bit off mister Hollins opus the American President. I mean,
he's got some some movies, just movies in there that
(17:24):
are epic movies.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
And we said. I said that to him. I was like,
you have a list, this is great.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
You me toot them too well. I got in there.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
His cheeks were warm from where your hands were, right,
but I just felt like you could. I don't know,
it's all of it struck me wrong. And I remember
that just gross field feeling.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
That was awful. I felt awful. I felt like we, yeah,
we fluffed some. I mean, I'll stop, let's move on.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
You're gonna bring back all the band, all right, ozempic
back in the back In the news today, the World
Health Organization is getting into this. Why did you put
pizza in the show today? I listen, I'm going through something.
I have not had pizza in a while, and I
feel like if the universe has been speaking to me
(18:16):
in the last couple of days. Every pizza commercial came
on while I was paying attention to the TV yesterday,
and then we see the story about pizza economy.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
So not boner pills, No, not yet, at least not
that at this point. I mean, because it okay to
be clear that you were asking about whether we have
been asked we've been approached to right as opposed to
me using them.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
You had told me we were approached to advertise for something.
And then we came back from the break and I wondered,
if we've reached the age and the time of the
show when we start advertising. I don't think so x
x X bone er bone or boner, which I'm fine with.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
You are.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
I think it's okay that we I mean, if people
want to get into it, then they want to get
into it. The only problem I would have is that
I can't test them out because I don't have a penis.
So you would have to test them out because you
have a penis presumably, and you can't advertise something you
haven't really tested out, like we both have American Vision windows.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Because we literally have American Vision windows.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
So you'd have to take the xxx and see what happens.
You know, how does it make you feel? We don't know. Anyway,
we can have that conversation when we need to cross
that bridge.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Tomorrow fifteenth ANNUALFI pastath on live broadcast.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Aren't you glad We're back to me?
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Is Giving Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
We will be out there at the Anaheim White House
Restaurant from five in the morning. Amy King is going
to be out there with way Up call of course,
everybody from the Handles show us, John Conway's crew, everybody.
We're all out there to benefit Chef Bruno's charity. Katerina
Club provides more than twenty five thousand meals every single
week to kids in need in southern California, and your
generosity can make it all happen. Now, there's a lot

of information if you go to kfiam six forty dot

at Wildfork Foods, at the Giving Machine charity Kiosks, but
also on that website, Kfi.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Said reports dot com Pastason is.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
All of our auction items that are up there and
what we are auctioning again this year because it's been
pretty successful the last few years, is to go to
a Dodgers game in a suite the World Champions Stadium.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Los Angeles Dodgers back to back season.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Now, the idea is that we are there as well,
but that's totally up to you. Like, if you want
just the weat opportunity, that's okay.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
We understand there's something you can do whatever you want
in there.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
And we're gonna, i mean, like if necessary, we'll sit
in the corner and just respond to clicks and whistles,
right if there's anything you need. But but we've had
a great time. Some of those games have been spectacular.
It's during the middle of summer, so it's a beautiful,
beautiful a day.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
If you want Gary to sit in a corner and
you lower a bucket filled with lotion to him. That's fine, Yeah,
but it's got to be above the bid that it
currently sits at. Gary's not going to put lotion on
unless maybe three three grand.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
You want any more than that, you're going to have
to do a lot better. Yeah, if you want.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Lotion on Gary, that's not just on his hands. You're
gonna have to get up to four grand. Now, five
grand is where we're usually around. That's when things get
to be creative. You know, I'm gonna stop. I think
we're at a time.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
We had a time.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
We're out of time.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Look at that.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
We got to go.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
What are you want to talk about next? Pizza? We
have a couple of Oh you want to do the
pizza story? I think so pizza.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
I don't think I can get any trouble with pizza.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Peza is one of those barometers for the condition of
our economy.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I didn't know this.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
I knew about lipstick. The economy takes a turn.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
People don't buy lipstick as much because it's kind of
a luxury purchase. You don't really need it. You don't
need an extra tube of lipstick. Tube of lipstick. By
the way, something my grandmother would say.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
I had a friend who was a personal assistant to
Richard Dreyfus, and he hated it and hated him. He
said it was absolutely the worst job he has ever
had in his life, and he had a hell of
the time getting paid also, So yeah, he's kind of
a jerk.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
I would love to have him back on just for
my own personal piece of just being real with him.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
You want some closure.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I do want some closure. I should just let it go.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I should. I'm kind of surprised because you do that
a lot. You just let that go. Yeah, but this
one is stuck in you for some reason.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Well, now that I know he doesn't talk to his family,
I feel like maybe we could help him. See well,
that first will break him completely before we build him
back up.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
It's like Karate kid. You know, we're gonna sweep the
leg a little bit and then and then we'll do
the other stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Sweep the leg was the bad guy, right, Well, I
mean like when mister Miyagi brings the kid to the
home and then see now paint the fence and they
do the fencing and the waxing, and it's like you
got to you gotta crawl before you walk right, Richard
Dreyfus needs to to run really and be with his
(23:51):
family for the holidays. But before he mend things with
his family, he's got a crawl with us and mend
things with us on the show.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
To get to the point where he can be cool
is probably what he's thinking about right now.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
We are certainly excited to see you tomorrow. We know
you're going to stop by between nine and one. It
will be the fifteenth annual KFI Pastathon Live broadcast tomorrow
at the Anaheim White House, but it won't be the
same if you are not there. Stop by five minutes.
What have you your lunch hour? Takeoff, come hang out.
It really is the best way to kick off the
(24:33):
holiday season. When you're out there spending crazy amounts of
money on presents and things, you have a good feeling
in your heart knowing it started with your donation to
Katerina's Club, which provides more than twenty five thousand meals
every week to hungry kids in southern California, and it's
all because of you. Without the kind of money we
(24:53):
raise for Pastathon every year. You wouldn't have these hungry
kids getting meals every week, not to the tune of
twenty five thousand the way Chef Bruno does it.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
And someone at Katla has made a grave error because
they invited us to come on to the show, to
their newscast tonight to talk about to talk about pastapon
Chef Bruno as well.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Yeah, I'm still not convinced they're gonna that's real, that
they're going to actually in.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Yeah, we got the email that told us where to go,
and yeah, I mean, what are you gonna where?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I'm gonna wear this? Probably take off my jacket because
it's probably not negative twenty seven degrees in their studios.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
It might be they have TV lights and things like that.
But I guess they're not the same.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
But they wear all they don't have to wear coats
while I'm looking at their studio. That's good to La.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
But she's in a tank top. That's different?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Is that different?
Speaker 3 (25:50):
It can't be that.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I don't remember. We haven't done television for so long.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
Is it cold in those rooms? Can be pizzas.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
People are ordering smaller pizzas and were toppings, and apparently
that is bad News for the Economy, the national average
of a price of a large cheese pizza has crept
up to seventeen dollars. You can get a seventeen dollars
large cheese pizza.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Let me know where that.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
So I read that as well, and I thought that
doesn't Again, I'm not buying pizzas every two or three
a week, but I still feel like that was pretty low.
Large cheese seventeen is the average. They said that competition
from other restaurants on popular delivery apps and shifting eating
habits are partly responsible, but also an indicator that this
(26:38):
is a struggle economically for some people.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Is this an ozempic thing or part of it? On
ozempic they don't eat as much part of it, I understand.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
So I know a couple of people who are on
different GLP ones and I'm amazed at how little they
can eat. Oh really, I feel satisfied it. I mean
to the point where it's like that can't that can't
be right. But it makes sense why it is so
successful because these people are eating miniature portions compared to
what they used to do.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
But what they used to do or what I would
eat or whatever for me that's fascinating.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
That plays into the whole biology and not psychological reason
for overeating. But there's a biological reason more than a
psychological issue for the people that it works for sure,
Because for me, if I'm overeating, when I overeat, it's
not because I'm hungry for those eminems, It's because of
psychological reason. It's well, there's I think that eminems are
(27:31):
going to make me happy, so I'm going to keep
eating more and more and more.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
And I would assume that that. But the ozampi doesn't
fix that. I think that people still get a beyond
the necessity of alleviating their hunger. People still still do
get a pleasure out of eating. Yeah, but that it
takes so little to satisfy that.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Oh, that's great, that is wonderful.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Right now, pizza chains make up about two thirds of
the fifty billion dollar a year pizza industry, and those
pizza change, they said, have been flat since twenty twenty three,
sales wise, They said, industry insiders are gearing up for
weight loss drugs to shake up the economy. Restaurants are
(28:18):
just one of the things. Pizza obviously, but grocery, gyms,
travel apparel, all of them, causing a psychological shift. And
as people's bodies change, so do their decisions on how
they're going to spend their time and money. Because if
you listen, one of the great things about a pizza
is if you're eating it at home, nobody has to
(28:40):
know how many pieces you put away, Nobody except maybe
you live with somebody, or you eat in the garage
so she doesn't.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
Have to watch you.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
But what is the man in the glass? Sah?
Speaker 3 (28:54):
What is that man? Glad? What do you mean the
guy looking back at me? Yeah, he knows, he knows
how many pizzas?
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah, says I should have turned the light off in
the garage while I was eating, so I didn't catch
my reflection in the side of the car.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
You're okay, if you wanted to binge a pizza right now,
you'd be fine.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
You do that?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
What once a year?
Speaker 3 (29:13):
You'll eat like a pizza A pizza, Yes, and then
I have a heart attack.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
See that's why I used to always like those frozen
to Tino's combination pizzas. Eat one of those whole pizza
is like nothing, you know, but it gives you the feeling.
I ate a whole pizza. Yeah, I like those those
little cube pepperonis well freeze freeze dried freeze scarred sausage bits.
(29:40):
That's delicious. The last time I had one didn't taste
is good. Yeah, yeah, it didn't taste. It tasted when
I was twenty two.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
That's part of it.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Something inside. If you dies when you get older, he
starts stop tasting good foods.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
You've burned it out, all right, No, No, I think
part of it is also the Yeah, we make food now,
I know different well, and I eat clean.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Because you have to eat cleaner as you get older.
You can't eat Totino's pizza five times a week, you know,
the way you used to be.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
You could, though, bet you I could. She could.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
When we come back the first massive twelve o'clock hour
we've done in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I do believe that come from.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
