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 (00:09):
You have several more eight counts than you had before.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
It's time for It's time for a new dance. This
is what I said to myself.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Well, and you did it. You did the thing. Let's
see here.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
How do we feel about Connie in honor of Chuck Connors,
let me just call him Chuck.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Oh, Elmer doesn't like it. I do like the name Chuck.
Chuck I think is probably a good one. Chuck for
a girl. Oh, I'm sorry. Now you're putting labels on
what can be what. You're right. You don't get to
do that.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
We got another vote for Legolas, another vote for Loki.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
We can probably say that bumber Puss is off the list, right,
But because that's the number one that people keep leaving
talkbacks about.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I mean, I love it.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I love that our heads are there with that not
but that's definitely not it's not it's not it's not
going to be a superhero. How about angry angry angary Angary?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
It's like when you're angry angary. But I thought that
people like cats because they're calm and they're not.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah, you were just really angry the last segment. I
think it made people a little bit unsettled.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah, well I'm sorry. That's okay. I know how I feel.
You guys want me to express my feelings more.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
And when I never said that, I never said, please
express your feelings more.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Just just to be clear, you want me to keep
them squashed? Yes, okay, squashed? What else is going on?
What's happening? I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
You feel you feel, you you do whatever, you know,
that's cool.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Police Chase.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
We told you about this as what was happening real
APD were in pursuit of They say multiple burglary suspects
started in Ladera Heights and ended in South La, Southeast LA.
At times they were a triple digit, triple digit speeds,
speeds almost it kept them.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
When I say temperatures, I know that's the most often
times that's wrong with me.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I don't know. It's it's the booby.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
The booby made my head do weird things.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Everybody ate it but me.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Two point seven earthquake has hit New York City. You
don't hear about that often Deborah, you know what they
say when a two point seven earthquake hits New York City?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
What do they say, Shannon, that the big one is
on its way?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Really?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
What?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah? It is? Does it mean it here? Yeah? We
don't have any connected, Zebra tells us, and Lucy does too.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
We'd due, well, we are, but that doesn't have anything
to do with New York. Oh yeah, New York may
want to maybe get some supplies, you know, residents living
in New York because maybe maybe it's going to hit them,
but it's going to hit us at a different time,
and it has nothing to do with New York.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
That's what Lucy would tell me.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
If are you guys texting?
Speaker 6 (03:09):
You know, I didn't want to take advantage of her.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
So I have to be judicious.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Yeah, I have to wait until there's a kind of
a bigger quake here, and then I'll chatter up.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
What's her cutoff or what I would say?
Speaker 6 (03:22):
A five?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Probably?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Maybe?
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Yeah, five.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I will agree with that, I think just in terms
of keeping the relationship, saying yes, a five is a
good one to reach.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Out to me, because if I survived a seven or
eight right and I was on her that side, I
wouldn't be able to talk to Lucy, and that would
be really more important.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Reaching out to Lucy after a seven or eight It's
like reaching out to God.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
They're busy, you know what I mean. I know they
don't have time for you.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Probably not, but I would still try to find out
maybe what she thought about the the aftershocks, how big
those were.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Are you in rural Turkey when this earthquake hits, No,
you're here here.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
In the west San Fernando Valley.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
The chances of you surviving a seven or eight earthquake
even here they are incredibly good.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah they are. Our infrastructure is good. Yeah, we don't
live in shantytowns.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Don't seem to trust any architect built. I know.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Fifty What about if you're on the freeway driving in
the freeway crumbles?
Speaker 6 (04:23):
I mean, you know, our freeways are kind of crappy.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Of the thousands of miles of freeway, Yeah, there were
portions that fell. I know, percentage portion I understand, But
remember the scale of what we're talking.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
About, Debora.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Every time I drive past Oakland, through Oakland, around Oakland,
I think of those those collapsed Yeah, see expressways.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I'm not saying it I'm not saying it doesn't happen.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
But also, Gary, if you're in the house, I have
a lot of windows in my bedroom, which is right,
not great.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
But you've got a great view the glass. What are
you going to get me? What's your husband?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
You're gonna You're gonna cut your feet if you don't
have shoes next to your bed.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Right, yeah, shoes next to your bed. Do they have heels?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
No?
Speaker 6 (05:12):
I have leopard print slippers.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Of course. Heart you need hard you do?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I have?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Now, what's it like to be your husband? Do you
complain about this glass from time to time?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
No?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
But every time he moves is that earthquake? Is that
an earthquake?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Oh? That's just mean?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Wait every you just did an impression of yourself.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Oh well yes, Well, if they're in bed and he
like rolls over whatever, and that's a big guy, yees too?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
And if the bend shakes, yes.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
And sometimes when I'm just kind of I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
In la la land, yeah, and I feel it? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (05:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
How often does that happen to happen? Every night?
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Not every night, okay, but every night I do think about,
oh my god, what if? And I try and throw
out that.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
But do you ask him about the infrastructure and the home,
like honey.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
You know, because he would say, you're the one that
wanted to live here.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
You're the one that wants to be in California.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yes, okay, So the line that ends all arguments about
anything really ever is you're the one who wanted to
be in California.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Well, I mean, we're California natives.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
But he would leave any time if I said, Okay,
let's let's move, say let's go to Utah, let's go wherever.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I could totally see you in Utah living off the land.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Really, I'm just styling you like I could style you
in Utah.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
I don't know Utah were in Utah, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
Adjacent, Yeah, in some beautiful area. It is beautiful.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Actually, my high school best friend lives there, and she
lives in a beautiful part.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Of Yeah, it's gorgeous.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
If it's my vibe, I like the sunshine, you know.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Oh, something to think about.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I saw a funny thing at the Sacramento Airport this morning.
I was telling you about a family making its throw
way through the security checkpoint and mom forgot something at
the ticket counter and had to sprint back down the
escalator to go get it.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
That left dad with two very small kids. He looked
like he was in over his head and all he
had to do was sit on They had already passed
through security. All he had to do was sit on
the bench and wait for the mom to come back.
It looked like he was being asked.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
To care for two small uranium vials.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I still don't know if he was the dad in
your story.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I think, I mean, your explanation is probably better because
if he was the dad and was that flustered by
what he was asked to do those kids.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I mean, dads are really good, especially those young ages
like that.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
They're like three and five years old. He just did
not look like he had any clue about what today.
It may have been an uncle or something.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Okay, have you heard about this generated Ozzy tribute featuring
dead musicians.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Apparently Rod Stewart did this.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
It was an AI generated it generated tribute to Ozzy Osbourne.
It was during Rod Stewart's One Last Time tour and
it featured AI visuals of Ozzy Osbourne posing with Michael Jackson, Prince,
Tina Turner, Bob Marley, Freddie Mercury Kurt Cobain, George Michael,
and Amy Weinhause. Some people on social media are calling
(08:30):
this tacky, embarrassing, most distasteful thing I've ever.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Seen, one wrote, but some people just the most distasteful
thing seen.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah, come on, well, some people are very serious about
their music. But this is Rod Stewart's way of showing respect,
and some people came to his defense. If this is
what you're going to get all up in arms with.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
You know, I don't know. Yeah, that's right. LAT.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Why couples are choosing LAT relationships living apart together?

Speaker 4 (09:12):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
We have an update on our True Crime Are not
True Crime True Love Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
We'll tell you about it.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I mean, I think I think we've found a winner.
He is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Gone through the lists, gone through the actual God, I'm
in love. I'm in love for Eric.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Let's hope they don't do the living apart together thing.
This trend involves two people who say they are in
a committed relationship who choose to live in separate homes,
not because it's an early part of the relationship and
they haven't moved in yet, but as more permanent arrangement.
Many couples now find themselves in that lat relationship living
(09:59):
apart together. Well, I suppose it's better than the other,
which is living together apart or.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Living together and one of you taping the other one's
mouth shut.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Is that.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Easy to sorry, keep that nose shut?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
They I'm totally sure that I'm the one in the
relationship that will get their mouth They get their mouth
taped as well.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Variety of reasons why somebody would do this more independence,
more personal space, more individuality, not to mention, Some believe
it keeps the relationship exciting, It sparks more passion. If
you're not living under the same roof and arguing about
chores or dinner every night, you might not be as
much at risk of falling into a rut.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Huh, absence and you shan't be together.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Yeah, absence does make the heart grow fonder. But if
you are, if you're arguing about dinner, if you're arguing
about chores, there there's a deeper problem with your relationship
than geolocation.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
I think a lot of I've never had this problem
in any relationship, but I think a lot of people
get into the whole dinner argument, not an argument, but
indecision of what do you want to do for dinner?
I don't know, what do you want to do? What
do you want to do? What do you want to do?
And there's no decision. I'd never have a problem making
a decision, So maybe that's why. But I can see
(11:24):
when when two people are go along to get along
people and then they get together, how that could cause
some some issues.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
But also to your point, just make a decision, like.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
And this goes into a deeper discussion of how the
relationship goes with you and a partner, and that that
is a thing that you would even spend brain space
on arguing over dinner. Now I understand indecision, Like, well,
I honestly don't. I'll eat anything that my wife makes.
She is great at what is she's created. But if
(12:00):
your wife came to you and said what do you
want for dinner? You like whatever you make? That drives
some people crazy. Yes, and that's why I have learned
to avoid that many times.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Sometimes I'll still fall into it.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
That we're a learning animal. You've learned to do that.
Some people do not evolve that way. I think a
lot of guys come into we'll just take the dinner hypothetical.
It come into it as I don't care whatever, and
that is seen as being indifferent and not caring. Well,
if I'm going to make something, then what you know,
it's a whole thing. You can see how it would be
a whole thing if somebody did not learn that lesson.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Early on, a woman on TikTok did share her thoughts
on the living apart together set up, and she said,
living a part together has drastically changed my life. What
living apart together means is that you basically are together,
but you don't live together. You love each other, but
you don't live together. You support each other, but you
(12:55):
don't live together. You can still go out on dates,
you can still have sleepovers, will also having your own you.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Want you never want like.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
That's the whole thing of living together is you don't
want to ever be away from that person. That's why
you move in together. You don't want to sleep differently.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
I wouldn't say you don't ever want to be away
from that person, but you there's no reason why's you're
supposed to share your space with someone.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
And if you want to share a comment or what
have you, they're in the other room.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
They're not a phone call away this.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Long distance relationships are a problem for a number of reasons,
and one of those reasons is that it's just you're
not a You can have a set time to talk
to somebody, right, but that's rarely when the good stuff
comes out. It's when you're just around each other that
(13:48):
you think of something or the conversation can begin like that.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Yeah, I also feel like I don't give it a
whole lot of credence as a relationship. If one of
the highlights is you're not together, right, right, it's not
a relationship.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Well it's like, let's take Debra and her husband. Deborah
and her husband, they love each other, they choose to
live different separately. Well, then when the earthquake hits, he's
not there, you know what I mean. There's just certain
things that happen and in you know, yeah, every day things.
How deep is the relationship? I have a bear in
my backyard. I want to be able to be like,
(14:26):
look at there's a bear in the backyard. I can't
do that if you're in van eyes and.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Actually have somebody else respond instead.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
The little things that you share together are the fabric
of the relationship.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
And listen, a long distance relationship is We've all had
some kind of long distance relationship to some degree, and
sometimes it's forced upon us for work. You know, if
you're in the military, for example, you have to live
apart together because that's what your job is, and other
jobs like that.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
But those are not those are not conscious choices.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
It seems like a It seems like an almost immature
Living a part together is an immature choice because it's
the well, I want the good parts, but I don't
want to deal with any of the potential bad pap
It seems.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
To me that it is a I'm not that into
this relationship, but I want to have a relationship for
having a say the sake of saying I have a relationship.
If you're that into it, you want to live with
the person.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
If you just don't want to be alone, then you're
in a relationship where you're okay not living with.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Them and It's one thing to listen. But when you
get older, though, that's the other thing. When you get older.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
And if my husband, if my husband left me today,
I would not want to live with anybody ever again.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Ever again, I've.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Heard that plenty of times, that people would not want
like And it's not because you don't like living with
him now, No, it's just.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I'm set in what I'm set in. I have my things,
my house. I don't want new things coming in and
new things.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Is has new new food.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Your your wife and I just had this conversation yesterday.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
About who she's going to move in with.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Uh, you know, I don't have to tell you everything,
but yeah, I mean, just that idea sounds awful.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
So I get it. If you're if you're, if you're
past a.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Certain age and you uh now you're wondering what we
are talking.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
About talking about, don't worry about it, your numbers, don't
worry about it.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
But yeah, I can see where you wouldn't want to
live with somebody ever.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Again.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I'm thinking about in this context, I'm thinking about people
in their twenties and thirties.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, I am too.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
I mean just and that again is one of the
cop out things that I think people don't do with relationships.
They want it exactly how they want it. They don't
want to compromise, they don't want to do they don't
want to, you know, change any part of themselves, even
though it could be for the better, because they're comfortable
in their way.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Right.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
It's kind of like introducing someone to Bubby's, you know,
and they just won't change.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
They just won't eat the bubby. They just they took
a little sniff of the bubby.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
What if they know what they like and know what
they don't like. Yeah, and it's not they didn't try it, right, Yeah,
they tried it.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I don't think they tried it though.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I think that they went into it with a mindset
of I'm gonna hate this, and then they didn't give
the bubby a fair chance, a fair bite as it were.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
All right, Gary and Channon Will Maybe he's just not
into that relationship. Maybe he doesn't like the Bubby. Maybe
he doesn't. I don't know a lot of men that
don't like the bubbies. There's a guy that told us
he likes bubbies different.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Oh True Crime, Oh a True Love update?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
First? And then are True Crime Tuesday?
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I feel like, I just hope Eric doesn't f this up. Honestly,
guarantees we're gonna have to do a boot camp with them.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
In just a moment, you're listening to Gary and Shannon
on demand from KFI AM six forty.

Katie KA was the first radio station to carry a
play by play radio broadcast in Major League Baseball. Dayton
Katie K and Pittsburgh Pittsburgh Harry Sorry, Harold Arlen announced
the game between the Pirates and the Phillies. The Pirates
won eight to five. He was an engineer. It wasn't
(19:25):
even a broadcast speaking guy. He was an engineer. But
he used a converted telephone as a microphone, positioned himself
in the seats directly behind home plate.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
How cool. Yeah, August static is in nineteen twenty one.
Does something exist from that?
Speaker 3 (19:39):
I don't think I've ever heard it. I've heard a
lot of them, but I don't think i've ever heard
that one. And I don't love to hear somebody who.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I don't know if it was recorded or not, but.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
I mean, who did do play by play? Nobody did so, Yeah,

female suitor. It's probably we.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Told you the story of Eric, one of our coworkers
here for years.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
He often laments he wants to find a nice Jewish girl.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
And Eric's now thirty one years old, right, he's thirty one, yep,
And we've watched him date. We've watched him flounder, flop
around like a fish on a dock, and.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
I don't flattering image, but go on.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
I'm on the seat of my pants. I'm an engineer
behind home plate. I've never done this before. And we
asked for we asked for girls to you know, give
it a whirl, see if Eric's your thing. And we
have gotten what I think is a very promising entrant
into the Eric love contest.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Well, how much information should we give or just to
say that, I mean, we're now working on I'm.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Kind of I this is to me, this is the
entrance that has spoke to me.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Okay, and I feel is Eric's white without the name yet?
If he doesn't f it up? I'm serious.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
What are some of the what are some of the
qualifications that she has that make you.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Well, she's beautiful. She's beautiful, but she's so much more
than that. It's you know those pictures of people that
speak to you like it's not just she's beautiful. You

Speaker 3 (23:59):
No, I'm made.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Barry and Shannon present Crime. Okay, you've done cocaine.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Not you.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
But sometimes when people are all hopped up on cocaine,
they like to talk.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
They like to talk a lot.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
They get these big ideas, they get these big ideas
about their big lives, and they're freaking nuts.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Well this is case in point these two dudes.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Let me introduce you to William Duplessi, a college dropout
and a crypto investor, a man who enjoys the cocaine,
and his buddy, John Weltz, a cryptologist, a cybersecurity guy,
also deep into crypto, oh and also deep into coke.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
They decided to take a private jet full of people
to Smithland, Kentucky, population two thirty seven.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
They bought a house there for I mean mansion because
it's one point.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Five million dollars.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
But yeah, that bought a six bedroom mansion, black marble floors, chandeliers,
a whole bit, winding suit, staircases, swimming pool, two acres,
and they fly this group of people there in February.
The group of people, by the way, are not Kentucky.
We're talking about a media air, fashion models. These are
all people from Palm Beach.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Their point is they want to get some financial backing
for their crypto schemes that they have worked out in
their head. And one of the ways that they do
that is by selling the fact that they say they
are super anti Chinese. They want to buy back properties
that are currently owned by Chinese run investment programs. They
(25:47):
want to fight terrorists who use cryptocurrency to fund their
terrorist organizations. Oh did I tell you that they were
also telling people after again Bricks and Bricks of Cocaine,
that they first met a US intelligence gathering where they
were helping put together this huge cybersecurity swat team on
(26:11):
behalf of the federal government.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
It seems like this was a bunch of people who
got together over cocktails at a party and were like, yeah,
we should totally go.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Let's go to Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
And then the ball just got rolling, and the eight
ball just continued and continued rolling down the hill. I mean,
these guys claimed that they were working in US intelligence
the whole bit. They had typed messages on the dozens
of typewriters scattered around the house in Kentucky saying they
feared they were under surveillance by the Chinese government. I mean,
(26:44):
this group got together to leave to go to Kentucky,
and they were all wearing like cute camouflage outfits and
you know, they posing with guns and night vision goggles.
They thought this would be kind of a fun little
kitchie trip to Kentucky. And then these guys turned out
to be total coke fen crazy pants people.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
They are now accused of kidnapping and torturing a cryptocurrency
trader from Italy back in the end of May. This
guy who had been okay, he stayed originally voluntarily, but
when he got into the eight bedroom townhouse that Duplessi
(27:26):
and Welts were sharing, he claims that they tied him up,
tortured him and basically made him give up his passwords
to all of his cryptocurrency accounts, and that they were
going to rob him basically once he gave up. After
he said torture for hours, he gave up his passwords,
they unclipped his hands, they had zip tied them, and
(27:49):
he ran out shoeless and bleeding. He said that the
guys had held him for more than two weeks and
that he they dangled him from the top of five
flights of stairs, threatening to kill him if he didn't
cough up the ransom.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
That was how it ended.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
They're crazy cocaine party, essentially, But the cocaine party that
we were talking about with the private jet and everything,
we're going to Kentucky. That was three months before that
guy from Italy, you know, ran shoeless and bleeding from
the townhouse in Manhattan. But you can see how things
started to unravel for these two, Like you know, you
(28:28):
gotta be careful about who you meet, right, You gotta
be careful who you meet. In South Beach, they seem
like these young entrepreneurial guys were like, oh, yeah, we've
got a private jet.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
We got this place out in Kentucky. Come with us.
It'll be fun. It'll be a hunting weekend.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
You get on the plane, there's a bunch of blow,
there's caviare. This is fun. These guys talk crazy. They
talk crazy, they're talking about working intelligence. But you have
the weekend or whatever, and you go back to your
respective lives. Three months later, it's in the news that
these two ran this Italian out of their townhouse bloodied,
and you're like, huh, glad he got the coke and
the caviare.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Recognize those guys, don't you. But you know what, people
reveal who they are with the cocaine. Don't get on
the private jet, kids.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Is there anything in the private jet that you can't
get somewhere else?
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Have you ever heard a story about that involved a
private jet.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
That was just like, you know, someone fell asleep and
then someone woke up. Yeah, that's a good point. All right, Tomorrow,
Tomorrow's Wednesday. The show's over.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
John Cobel shows coming up. Oh, can we pick a
name for the cat tomorrow? What a great idea?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Break that thing into many pieces. I would not I
wouldn't do that to let Elmer's taking a little little
liking to that cat. Of course he is. Everyone else
is responsible for it. It's the cat and it's bubbies
and if you don't like them.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
The President.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
The President's about to on that Olympics Task Force executive order.
But the uh, they just showed him walking on the
roof of the White House.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
What why?
Speaker 2 (30:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
I have yet to figure that out. Maybe we'll find
out some point before tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
All right, John's up next. We'll see you tomorrow. Stay dry.
Everybody thinks you've
Speaker 3 (30:17):
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 ap
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 (00:09):
You have several more eight counts than you had before.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
It's time for It's time for a new dance. This
is what I said to myself.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Well, and you did it. You did the thing. Let's
see here.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
How do we feel about Connie in honor of Chuck Connors,
let me just call him Chuck.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Oh, Elmer doesn't like it. I do like the name Chuck.
Chuck I think is probably a good one. Chuck for
a girl. Oh, I'm sorry. Now you're putting labels on
what can be what. You're right. You don't get to
do that.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
We got another vote for Legolas, another vote for Loki.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
We can probably say that bumber Puss is off the list, right,
But because that's the number one that people keep leaving
talkbacks about.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I mean, I love it.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I love that our heads are there with that not
but that's definitely not it's not it's not it's not
going to be a superhero. How about angry angry angary Angary?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
It's like when you're angry angary. But I thought that
people like cats because they're calm and they're not.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah, you were just really angry the last segment. I
think it made people a little bit unsettled.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah, well I'm sorry. That's okay. I know how I feel.
You guys want me to express my feelings more.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
And when I never said that, I never said, please
express your feelings more.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Just just to be clear, you want me to keep
them squashed? Yes, okay, squashed? What else is going on?
What's happening? I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
You feel you feel, you you do whatever, you know,
that's cool.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Police Chase.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
We told you about this as what was happening real
APD were in pursuit of They say multiple burglary suspects
started in Ladera Heights and ended in South La, Southeast LA.
At times they were a triple digit, triple digit speeds,
speeds almost it kept them.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
When I say temperatures, I know that's the most often
times that's wrong with me.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I don't know. It's it's the booby.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
The booby made my head do weird things.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Everybody ate it but me.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Two point seven earthquake has hit New York City. You
don't hear about that often Deborah, you know what they
say when a two point seven earthquake hits New York City?
Speaker 2 (02:37):
What do they say, Shannon, that the big one is
on its way?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Really?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
What?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah? It is? Does it mean it here? Yeah? We
don't have any connected, Zebra tells us, and Lucy does too.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
We'd due, well, we are, but that doesn't have anything
to do with New York. Oh yeah, New York may
want to maybe get some supplies, you know, residents living
in New York because maybe maybe it's going to hit them,
but it's going to hit us at a different time,
and it has nothing to do with New York.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
That's what Lucy would tell me.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
If are you guys texting?
Speaker 6 (03:09):
You know, I didn't want to take advantage of her.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
So I have to be judicious.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Yeah, I have to wait until there's a kind of
a bigger quake here, and then I'll chatter up.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
What's her cutoff or what I would say?
Speaker 6 (03:22):
A five?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Probably?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Maybe?
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Yeah, five.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I will agree with that, I think just in terms
of keeping the relationship, saying yes, a five is a
good one to reach.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Out to me, because if I survived a seven or
eight right and I was on her that side, I
wouldn't be able to talk to Lucy, and that would
be really more important.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Reaching out to Lucy after a seven or eight It's
like reaching out to God.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
They're busy, you know what I mean. I know they
don't have time for you.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Probably not, but I would still try to find out
maybe what she thought about the the aftershocks, how big
those were.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Are you in rural Turkey when this earthquake hits, No,
you're here here.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
In the west San Fernando Valley.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
The chances of you surviving a seven or eight earthquake
even here they are incredibly good.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah they are. Our infrastructure is good. Yeah, we don't
live in shantytowns.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Don't seem to trust any architect built. I know.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Fifty What about if you're on the freeway driving in
the freeway crumbles?
Speaker 6 (04:23):
I mean, you know, our freeways are kind of crappy.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Of the thousands of miles of freeway, Yeah, there were
portions that fell. I know, percentage portion I understand, But
remember the scale of what we're talking.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
About, Debora.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Every time I drive past Oakland, through Oakland, around Oakland,
I think of those those collapsed Yeah, see expressways.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I'm not saying it I'm not saying it doesn't happen.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
But also, Gary, if you're in the house, I have
a lot of windows in my bedroom, which is right,
not great.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
But you've got a great view the glass. What are
you going to get me? What's your husband?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
You're gonna You're gonna cut your feet if you don't
have shoes next to your bed.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Right, yeah, shoes next to your bed. Do they have heels?
Speaker 3 (05:11):
No?
Speaker 6 (05:12):
I have leopard print slippers.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Of course. Heart you need hard you do?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
I have?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Now, what's it like to be your husband? Do you
complain about this glass from time to time?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
No?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
But every time he moves is that earthquake? Is that
an earthquake?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Oh? That's just mean?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Wait every you just did an impression of yourself.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Oh well yes, Well, if they're in bed and he
like rolls over whatever, and that's a big guy, yees too?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
And if the bend shakes, yes.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
And sometimes when I'm just kind of I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
In la la land, yeah, and I feel it? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (05:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
How often does that happen to happen? Every night?
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Not every night, okay, but every night I do think about,
oh my god, what if? And I try and throw
out that.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
But do you ask him about the infrastructure and the home,
like honey.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
You know, because he would say, you're the one that
wanted to live here.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
You're the one that wants to be in California.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yes, okay, So the line that ends all arguments about
anything really ever is you're the one who wanted to
be in California.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Well, I mean, we're California natives.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
But he would leave any time if I said, Okay,
let's let's move, say let's go to Utah, let's go wherever.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I could totally see you in Utah living off the land.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Really, I'm just styling you like I could style you
in Utah.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
I don't know Utah were in Utah, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
Adjacent, Yeah, in some beautiful area. It is beautiful.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
Actually, my high school best friend lives there, and she
lives in a beautiful part.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Of Yeah, it's gorgeous.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
If it's my vibe, I like the sunshine, you know.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Oh, something to think about.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I saw a funny thing at the Sacramento Airport this morning.
I was telling you about a family making its throw
way through the security checkpoint and mom forgot something at
the ticket counter and had to sprint back down the
escalator to go get it.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
That left dad with two very small kids. He looked
like he was in over his head and all he
had to do was sit on They had already passed
through security. All he had to do was sit on
the bench and wait for the mom to come back.
It looked like he was being asked.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
To care for two small uranium vials.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I still don't know if he was the dad in
your story.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I think, I mean, your explanation is probably better because
if he was the dad and was that flustered by
what he was asked to do those kids.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I mean, dads are really good, especially those young ages
like that.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
They're like three and five years old. He just did
not look like he had any clue about what today.
It may have been an uncle or something.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Okay, have you heard about this generated Ozzy tribute featuring
dead musicians.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Apparently Rod Stewart did this.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
It was an AI generated it generated tribute to Ozzy Osbourne.
It was during Rod Stewart's One Last Time tour and
it featured AI visuals of Ozzy Osbourne posing with Michael Jackson, Prince,
Tina Turner, Bob Marley, Freddie Mercury Kurt Cobain, George Michael,
and Amy Weinhause. Some people on social media are calling
(08:30):
this tacky, embarrassing, most distasteful thing I've ever.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Seen, one wrote, but some people just the most distasteful
thing seen.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah, come on, well, some people are very serious about
their music. But this is Rod Stewart's way of showing respect,
and some people came to his defense. If this is
what you're going to get all up in arms with.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
You know, I don't know. Yeah, that's right. LAT.
Speaker 3 (08:55):

Speaker 4 (09:12):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
We have an update on our True Crime Are not
True Crime True Love Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
We'll tell you about it.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I mean, I think I think we've found a winner.
He is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Gone through the lists, gone through the actual God, I'm
in love. I'm in love for Eric.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Let's hope they don't do the living apart together thing.
This trend involves two people who say they are in
a committed relationship who choose to live in separate homes,
not because it's an early part of the relationship and
they haven't moved in yet, but as more permanent arrangement.
Many couples now find themselves in that lat relationship living
(09:59):
apart together. Well, I suppose it's better than the other,
which is living together apart or.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Living together and one of you taping the other one's
mouth shut.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Is that.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Easy to sorry, keep that nose shut?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
They I'm totally sure that I'm the one in the
relationship that will get their mouth They get their mouth
taped as well.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Variety of reasons why somebody would do this more independence,
more personal space, more individuality, not to mention, Some believe
it keeps the relationship exciting, It sparks more passion. If
you're not living under the same roof and arguing about
chores or dinner every night, you might not be as
much at risk of falling into a rut.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Huh, absence and you shan't be together.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Yeah, absence does make the heart grow fonder. But if
you are, if you're arguing about dinner, if you're arguing
about chores, there there's a deeper problem with your relationship
than geolocation.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
I think a lot of I've never had this problem
in any relationship, but I think a lot of people
get into the whole dinner argument, not an argument, but
indecision of what do you want to do for dinner?
I don't know, what do you want to do? What
do you want to do? What do you want to do?
And there's no decision. I'd never have a problem making
a decision, So maybe that's why. But I can see
(11:24):
when when two people are go along to get along
people and then they get together, how that could cause
some some issues.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
But also to your point, just make a decision, like.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
And this goes into a deeper discussion of how the
relationship goes with you and a partner, and that that
is a thing that you would even spend brain space
on arguing over dinner. Now I understand indecision, Like, well,
I honestly don't. I'll eat anything that my wife makes.
She is great at what is she's created. But if
(12:00):
your wife came to you and said what do you
want for dinner? You like whatever you make? That drives
some people crazy. Yes, and that's why I have learned
to avoid that many times.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Sometimes I'll still fall into it.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
That we're a learning animal. You've learned to do that.
Some people do not evolve that way. I think a
lot of guys come into we'll just take the dinner hypothetical.
It come into it as I don't care whatever, and
that is seen as being indifferent and not caring. Well,
if I'm going to make something, then what you know,
it's a whole thing. You can see how it would be
a whole thing if somebody did not learn that lesson.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Early on, a woman on TikTok did share her thoughts
on the living apart together set up, and she said,
living a part together has drastically changed my life. What
living apart together means is that you basically are together,
but you don't live together. You love each other, but
you don't live together. You support each other, but you
(12:55):
don't live together. You can still go out on dates,
you can still have sleepovers, will also having your own you.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Want you never want like.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
That's the whole thing of living together is you don't
want to ever be away from that person. That's why
you move in together. You don't want to sleep differently.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
I wouldn't say you don't ever want to be away
from that person, but you there's no reason why's you're
supposed to share your space with someone.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
And if you want to share a comment or what
have you, they're in the other room.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
They're not a phone call away this.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Long distance relationships are a problem for a number of reasons,
and one of those reasons is that it's just you're
not a You can have a set time to talk
to somebody, right, but that's rarely when the good stuff
comes out. It's when you're just around each other that
(13:48):
you think of something or the conversation can begin like that.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Yeah, I also feel like I don't give it a
whole lot of credence as a relationship. If one of
the highlights is you're not together, right, right, it's not
a relationship.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Well it's like, let's take Debra and her husband. Deborah
and her husband, they love each other, they choose to
live different separately. Well, then when the earthquake hits, he's
not there, you know what I mean. There's just certain
things that happen and in you know, yeah, every day things.
How deep is the relationship? I have a bear in
my backyard. I want to be able to be like,
(14:26):
look at there's a bear in the backyard. I can't
do that if you're in van eyes and.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Actually have somebody else respond instead.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
The little things that you share together are the fabric
of the relationship.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
And listen, a long distance relationship is We've all had
some kind of long distance relationship to some degree, and
sometimes it's forced upon us for work. You know, if
you're in the military, for example, you have to live
apart together because that's what your job is, and other
jobs like that.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
But those are not those are not conscious choices.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
It seems like a It seems like an almost immature
Living a part together is an immature choice because it's
the well, I want the good parts, but I don't
want to deal with any of the potential bad pap
It seems.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
To me that it is a I'm not that into
this relationship, but I want to have a relationship for
having a say the sake of saying I have a relationship.
If you're that into it, you want to live with
the person.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
If you just don't want to be alone, then you're
in a relationship where you're okay not living with.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Them and It's one thing to listen. But when you
get older, though, that's the other thing. When you get older.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
And if my husband, if my husband left me today,
I would not want to live with anybody ever again.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Ever again, I've.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Heard that plenty of times, that people would not want
like And it's not because you don't like living with
him now, No, it's just.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
I'm set in what I'm set in. I have my things,
my house. I don't want new things coming in and
new things.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Is has new new food.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Your your wife and I just had this conversation yesterday.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
About who she's going to move in with.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Uh, you know, I don't have to tell you everything,
but yeah, I mean, just that idea sounds awful.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
So I get it. If you're if you're, if you're
past a.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Certain age and you uh now you're wondering what we
are talking.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
About talking about, don't worry about it, your numbers, don't
worry about it.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
But yeah, I can see where you wouldn't want to
live with somebody ever.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Again.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
I'm thinking about in this context, I'm thinking about people
in their twenties and thirties.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, I am too.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
I mean just and that again is one of the
cop out things that I think people don't do with relationships.
They want it exactly how they want it. They don't
want to compromise, they don't want to do they don't
want to, you know, change any part of themselves, even
though it could be for the better, because they're comfortable
in their way.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
Right.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
It's kind of like introducing someone to Bubby's, you know,
and they just won't change.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
They just won't eat the bubby. They just they took
a little sniff of the bubby.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
What if they know what they like and know what
they don't like. Yeah, and it's not they didn't try it, right, Yeah,
they tried it.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I don't think they tried it though.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
I think that they went into it with a mindset
of I'm gonna hate this, and then they didn't give
the bubby a fair chance, a fair bite as it were.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
All right, Gary and Channon Will Maybe he's just not
into that relationship. Maybe he doesn't like the Bubby. Maybe
he doesn't. I don't know a lot of men that
don't like the bubbies. There's a guy that told us
he likes bubbies different.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Oh True Crime, Oh a True Love update?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
First? And then are True Crime Tuesday?
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I feel like, I just hope Eric doesn't f this up. Honestly,
guarantees we're gonna have to do a boot camp with them.

In just a moment, you're listening to Gary and Shannon

the game between the Pirates and the Phillies. The Pirates
won eight to five. He was an engineer. It wasn't
(19:25):
even a broadcast speaking guy. He was an engineer. But
he used a converted telephone as a microphone, positioned himself
in the seats directly behind home plate.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
How cool. Yeah, August static is in nineteen twenty one.
Does something exist from that?
Speaker 3 (19:39):
I don't think I've ever heard it. I've heard a
lot of them, but I don't think i've ever heard
that one. And I don't love to hear somebody who.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I don't know if it was recorded or not, but.

around like a fish on a dock, and.

can tell she's so much more than that.

Speaker 4 (24:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Barry and Shannon present Crime. Okay, you've done cocaine.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Not you.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
But sometimes when people are all hopped up on cocaine,
they like to talk.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
They like to talk a lot.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
They get these big ideas, they get these big ideas
about their big lives, and they're freaking nuts.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Well this is case in point these two dudes.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Let me introduce you to William Duplessi, a college dropout
and a crypto investor, a man who enjoys the cocaine,
and his buddy, John Weltz, a cryptologist, a cybersecurity guy,
also deep into crypto, oh and also deep into coke.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
They decided to take a private jet full of people
to Smithland, Kentucky, population two thirty seven.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
They bought a house there for I mean mansion because
it's one point.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Five million dollars.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
But yeah, that bought a six bedroom mansion, black marble floors, chandeliers,
a whole bit, winding suit, staircases, swimming pool, two acres,
and they fly this group of people there in February.
The group of people, by the way, are not Kentucky.
We're talking about a media air, fashion models. These are
all people from Palm Beach.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Their point is they want to get some financial backing
for their crypto schemes that they have worked out in
their head. And one of the ways that they do
that is by selling the fact that they say they
are super anti Chinese. They want to buy back properties
that are currently owned by Chinese run investment programs. They
(25:47):
want to fight terrorists who use cryptocurrency to fund their
terrorist organizations. Oh did I tell you that they were
also telling people after again Bricks and Bricks of Cocaine,
that they first met a US intelligence gathering where they
were helping put together this huge cybersecurity swat team on
(26:11):
behalf of the federal government.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
It seems like this was a bunch of people who
got together over cocktails at a party and were like, yeah,
we should totally go.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Let's go to Kentucky.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
And then the ball just got rolling, and the eight
ball just continued and continued rolling down the hill. I mean,
these guys claimed that they were working in US intelligence
the whole bit. They had typed messages on the dozens
of typewriters scattered around the house in Kentucky saying they
feared they were under surveillance by the Chinese government. I mean,
(26:44):
this group got together to leave to go to Kentucky,
and they were all wearing like cute camouflage outfits and
you know, they posing with guns and night vision goggles.
They thought this would be kind of a fun little
kitchie trip to Kentucky. And then these guys turned out
to be total coke fen crazy pants people.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
They are now accused of kidnapping and torturing a cryptocurrency
trader from Italy back in the end of May. This
guy who had been okay, he stayed originally voluntarily, but
when he got into the eight bedroom townhouse that Duplessi
(27:26):
and Welts were sharing, he claims that they tied him up,
tortured him and basically made him give up his passwords
to all of his cryptocurrency accounts, and that they were
going to rob him basically once he gave up. After
he said torture for hours, he gave up his passwords,
they unclipped his hands, they had zip tied them, and
(27:49):
he ran out shoeless and bleeding. He said that the
guys had held him for more than two weeks and
that he they dangled him from the top of five
flights of stairs, threatening to kill him if he didn't
cough up the ransom.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
That was how it ended.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
They're crazy cocaine party, essentially, But the cocaine party that
we were talking about with the private jet and everything,
we're going to Kentucky. That was three months before that
guy from Italy, you know, ran shoeless and bleeding from
the townhouse in Manhattan. But you can see how things
started to unravel for these two, Like you know, you
(28:28):
gotta be careful about who you meet, right, You gotta
be careful who you meet. In South Beach, they seem
like these young entrepreneurial guys were like, oh, yeah, we've
got a private jet.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
We got this place out in Kentucky. Come with us.
It'll be fun. It'll be a hunting weekend.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
You get on the plane, there's a bunch of blow,
there's caviare. This is fun. These guys talk crazy. They
talk crazy, they're talking about working intelligence. But you have
the weekend or whatever, and you go back to your
respective lives. Three months later, it's in the news that
these two ran this Italian out of their townhouse bloodied,
and you're like, huh, glad he got the coke and
the caviare.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Recognize those guys, don't you. But you know what, people
reveal who they are with the cocaine. Don't get on
the private jet, kids.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Is there anything in the private jet that you can't
get somewhere else?
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Have you ever heard a story about that involved a
private jet.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
That was just like, you know, someone fell asleep and
then someone woke up. Yeah, that's a good point. All right, Tomorrow,
Tomorrow's Wednesday. The show's over.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
John Cobel shows coming up. Oh, can we pick a
name for the cat tomorrow? What a great idea?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Break that thing into many pieces. I would not I
wouldn't do that to let Elmer's taking a little little
liking to that cat. Of course he is. Everyone else
is responsible for it. It's the cat and it's bubbies
and if you don't like them.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
The President.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
The President's about to on that Olympics Task Force executive order.
But the uh, they just showed him walking on the
roof of the White House.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
What why?
Speaker 2 (30:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
I have yet to figure that out. Maybe we'll find
out some point before tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
All right, John's up next. We'll see you tomorrow. Stay dry.
