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 (00:09):
I have a diarrhea updates get it. The cases of
a parasite that can cause explosive diarrhea quickly quadrupled in
the state of Michigan. Yeah, I've heard it's a big
Great Lakes problem. Dealing with it. Skyrocketing six and eighty
one people have come down with the cyclos bariasis. As
(00:31):
of the most recent numbers, Michigan is by far the
hardest hit state. New York Illinois, Texas have also reported
a concerning number, as many as eighty six six take two.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Cyclost Bariasis is usually contracted just say I'm a diarrhea
You can say that, can't.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
But they have yet to identify a specific source of
the current outbreak. Part two of my update, Pardon the Punt.
A cruise ship carrying thousands of passengers had to dock
in Alaska yesterday after hit being hit by its second
consecutive outbreak of potential neurovirus. In this case, it was
(01:14):
the Ruby Princess that arrived in Haines, Alaska after six
crew members and one passenger had to be placed in
isolation with a cute gastro enteritis, and there's nothing cute
about it. They have prompted that prompted the ship to
undergo even higher disinfection measures. This is after after they
(01:38):
went through an extensive deep cleaning last week, when they
had a much larger outbreak on a previous voyage. Careful
where you go. Has your obsession with diarrhea been stated? Ah?
I'm fine for now, okay, but if there are.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Updates, your tank is full for right now, but it
may run a little out here.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I thought that this La Times article started with a bang. Now,
maybe the author was just writing this to I don't know.
I guess give some people make some people feel bad
for Jennifer Newsom. I read this as Jennifer Newsom was
outed as being ridiculous. In the first couple paragraphs of
this article. They're talking about this February press conference, and
(02:20):
it was a planned parenthood press conference, and the reporter
started asking Gavin Newso questions about a bunch of other things,
because that's what happens with all dignitaries and press conferences.
Do you really think you'd have that turnout for just
insert pet project here, whether it be homelessness, planned parenthood, whatever,
(02:41):
No people here. Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, is
going to be a press conference. The entire press corps
goes to ask him about everything.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
And you're not asking about it, and she freaked out
over so wait, let me just set this up.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So he's taking questions.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
So they do the Planned Parenthood press conference, more fund
what have you, because the federal government had pulled back funding,
and so they open up to questions. First couple questions
are asked, and then the reporter start asking him questions
about other things. Now she's in the background, Jennifer Sebel
Newsom is and she is visibly agitated, and she kind
(03:17):
of butts him aside takes the podium. Gavin Newsome looks
flu mixed by this. You can tell she's a lot
at home and this is what she says.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
And the majority of the questions, all of these questions
have really been about other issues. So it's just fascinting.
You have this incredible woman's coucues and all these allies
and you're not asking about it. And this happens over
and over and over and over again. You wonder why
we have such a horrific war on women in this country.
You're ridiculous, given away with it. You don't seem to care.
(03:49):
It's a press conference offer that.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
She does say at the end of it. I don't
know why it's cut off, she does.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I offer that love, which makes her sound like an
a hole, And I offer this.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
With love like so bad? Whoa like?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You just mean ladied all of us and now you're
like and it's with love like, oh my gosh, that
runs a foul of like it should give you a
chill down your spine to be talked to like that.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Well, let me let me relate this a little bit
to Grand Platiner. Also, just in that we discuss that
when you are involved in politics, these people take on
a in many cases, an overinflated sense of self worth.
And I don't know Jennifer Siebel Newsome. I mean, obviously
(04:38):
we see her, we see her public persona. But the
idea that you would like, you said, go in front
of a news conference like that, and that's great. Through
that's who she is.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
She's a spoiled little girl from Ren County whose father
was a major Republican contributor.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
She grew up with a silver spoon. She's spoiled.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
She spends spoiled her entire life, and that's what you get,
and that's who she is. And if Gavin Newsom wanted
to pretend to be everyman, he should have picked a
different partner.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
It's because when you.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Marry somebody who also comes from money and privilege, you're
never going to be able to play the everyman card.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
She has what she's now saying. Also, in fact, Gavin
Newsom suggested it when if you remember, the federal investigation
was launched and he came out and made this video
that said Trump is coming after me. Despite the fact
that Trump didn't start the investigation. She has come out
and suggested that this and the investigation into her aspect
(05:34):
her nonprofits, the money that was behested to that group,
she's suggesting that all of that is because she's a
woman in and I'll use finger quotes here in a
position of pages just.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
So disingenuous to actual women who really do start grassroots
level nonprofits and fight and claw their way for funding
i e. Planned Parenthood when it began, and all of
those things she has been given a silver spoon in
this nonprofit world, she has taken money from lobbyists.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
From go.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
You don't get to pretend that you are this victim
this I am just running a nonprofit. No, it's funded,
it's fueled by lobbyists, money, people who want favors from
your husband who runs the state. And I'm not saying
that that's wrong or illegal. Just don't try to pretend
you're in that other lane. That's my problem with Gavin
Newsom too. So your privileged. So you grew up a
(06:35):
getty darling. That's fine. There's a million people that are
in power that were born into privilege.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Just own it.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Just stop pretending you're somebody you're not. To both of
them is what I would like for them.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
It doesn't preclude that their upbringing, does not preclude them
from joining the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
It doesn't make you advocating for people. I don't think
you're a bad person because you were born into money.
I don't think you're a bad person for being privileged
your whole life. But don't try to lie about it.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, it's so frustrating, and listen, I think you're right.
I mean, they do talk about in this article her
decision to go by a first partner as opposed to
the first lady to be more gender inclusive and gender expansive.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I didn't want to be a lady because I didn't
want to be someone who's seen to just be standing
on the sidelines.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Right, Well, you're not, sweetheart.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
You're in the pig pen with all the other whores
that want money from lobbyists.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
And be careful what you wish for. You want that
position all the other sitting on the sideline, you're gonna be.
You know, you may not have a positions you're going
to get tackled, but you do have a position of influence.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
You put yourself on the playing field. You're playing with
the money. You're playing with the big dogs in Sacramento.
By taking lobbyist money, you're going to get tackled.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
And is it because she's a woman? See? To me,
that's so to me, that hurts women. I want to
talk about that.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I want to talk I do because I think that
it's putting up a shield of I'm untouchable because I'm
a woman and there's a war on women, and you
can't touch anything I do because I'm one of them.
It's a it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Gary Shannon will continue.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
There is something going on in New York today. Several
floors of a midtown Manhattan office building that's being renovated
right now started caving in, so the building had to
be evacuated. Several adjacent buildings have been evacuated, Several streets
have been closed because of the fear that this thing
is going to collapse. At the corner of East forty
second and second former headquarters for Pfizer and is under conversion.
(08:43):
They're turning it into a bunch of condos. Apparently, about
eight o'clock this morning, some construction workers noticed cracks inside
the support beams and the beams were beginning to buckle
on the twenty first and twenty second floors. So they
held a news conference just basically that it's kind of
a wait and see until this thing if in fact
it is going to collapse, or if they're going to
(09:04):
have to find a way to get in there and
take this thing down. So just to put a bow
on this.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Jennifer Sebel Newsome La Times article, they do bring up
an unconvenient truth about the Newsoms as they make their
way to the presidential election for.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
And that's something that I've mentioned time and time again,
is Gavin Newsom may play well in California as a
California Democrat, but this kind of Westside Democrat, the privileged Democrat,
how does that play in the swing states? How does
that play in the states that matter the Michigans of
the world, and things like that, And the La Times
article wrote it this way.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
As the twenty twenty eight election looms, conservatives have been
dredging up old clips, highlighting Jennifer Sebel Newsom's comments about
parenting and deconstructing gender roles to portray her as radical
and woke, like this, as she reads to her children,
sometimes she changes the protagonist's gender from he to she
(10:06):
to show that women can cent her a story.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
She has talked about.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Giving her son's dolls so that they can decide if
they want to play with dolls or not. Anyway, they
highlight the La Times that she could be a liability
for him as he seeks national office. A New York
Post columnist who they quoted says, Jennifer Cebel Newsom is
(10:33):
a very avatar of a Democrat woman, haughty, hectoring, and
pleased with herself. She's single handedly wrecking her henpecked husband,
Gavin's lofty political ambitions. And that is the vibe that
I got to a tee in that news conference, and
I don't think that plays well in some parts of
(10:53):
the country.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Add to that, in that same vein, she was asked,
Jennifer Sebel Newsom was asked a few years ago, if
in fact she becomes the first lady, would she use
the term first lady if her husband is elected president
or would she go with try to keep the first
partner mantle? And she said, I don't know if Americans
(11:16):
are ready for a first partner. Sadly, I don't think
they are now. And that's exactly. That's exactly to put
a super fine point on what you're saying, the exact
kind of attitude that a lot of people aren't gonna
be okay with.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Also, not what's wrong with being a lady. I thought
we were empowering women.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
There's a thing.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Why are we taking away the lady from being a lady?
Why are we I don't want to be called a
partner I and that to me is like being a
proud woman, being a proud first lady. There's nothing wrong
with lady is not a dirty word. It's like a
you can be a strong lady. There's a lot of
first ladies that came before you, sweetheart, who were damn
(12:00):
stronger than you could even imagine, and overcame things that
you couldn't even read about and get one tenth of
a feeling of how that felt.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
And arguably they weren't necessarily even lauded for their efforts,
right the Roosevelt wives. I mean these there are women
that occupied that White House. More power on share that
title with them. It's one of the things. And I've
said this before as the father of a daughter, I
come at it from a different angle than you do
(12:29):
because you're living in it. But I've seen people say
to my daughter, isn't it weird to be a woman
in a stem, you know, in the world of chemistry
or science, that that somehow people look at you differently.
She's probably never even thought of that, absolutely, not especially
considering it. Like you always say, in the Year of
(12:52):
Our Lord twenty twenty six, the majority of the people
that she works with or that works closely with. Are
women or the guys that she works with. Don't look
at her as being somehow inferior or anything. She's leading
the team. She's the one who's in charge. There's clearly
if you're Jennifer Seebel Newsom and you're fifty two, you've
(13:12):
got some things that you're still hung up on. But
if you're twenty two, a lot of that stuff is gone.
I mean, this idea that there's this massive was it
the term she used, the massive war on women that
still exists. That doesn't make a lot of sense if
you're twenty two years old, so.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Horrific war on I've never found it to be a handicap.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
And I'm not twenty two. And listen, people are gonna
treat and.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I work in both jobs in a male dominated world,
and I've never found it to be a handicap.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
And there will be people who treat you differently because
you're a woman, and those people are called a holes
that we can't ignore that. Don't say this is like
an institutional thing, or this is it's yeah, there was that.
There was a time. I get it, But now that
guy's an a hole, I treat you differently and you
deal with it. Are you dealing and you learn to
deal with it. You learned to deal with it yourself,
(14:08):
not make your husband go do it for you.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Oh, wouldn't the wouldn't the A hole like that instead
a level headed person.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Coming up in a couple of minutes, we're gonna be
talking about the most stolen items from hotel rooms and holy.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Cow, Hey guys, what I took from a motel room
as a teenager. My mother was traveling across the country
with us kids. I took one of those massage bed
boxes where you put the quarters in. I put it
into my suitcase, and I think about three months later
I broke into it finally, and there was like four dollars.
(14:51):
My mother never knew I took it. She would have
really scolded me if she found out.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I remember my grandma. They're staying in a hotel room
with her boyfriend. This was very scandalous circa nineteen eighty
nine or whenever it was. It feels like it was
about nineteen eighty nine ish, maybe later, and we were
in the room to see her and the bed had
(15:19):
one of those little boxes next to it. Now I'm
nine or what have you.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I have no idea what that is.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
But it was very much implied that it was something
that was an adult thing, like, oh, it's got one
of those boxes.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
And I was like, oh, what is that? And then
it was And then I remember.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
My dad kind of chuckling a little bit, like you
know the laugh your parents get when they're laughing about
something that you don't know about, that you shouldn't know about.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Kind of a thing.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
But the idea that there used to be those boxes
that were attached, that there used to be a contraption
that madeor hotel bed shake.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Is odd to me. And that they went away. Well,
why was it ever a thing that's a great? Was
it a sex thing? Or was it to lull you
to sleep? I get I think it was. How is
it a sex thing?
Speaker 5 (16:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
I never tried it.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Okay, Well to shoot gears. From first partner to trad wife.
There is an article at a New York Post about
anitsa Templeton, hyper traditional, faith centered home. Her husband was
considered the king of the castle. She married. It's twenty six.
(16:35):
She abandoned her dreams of pursuing a career in art
to be a wife, solely to be a wife. She said,
to satisfy her husband's every command, which is a misinterpretation.
But I feel like this article is really caricature. That's
(16:56):
a perfect word the trad wife.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
The fact that it's written up like she decided to
instead satisfy her man's every command, growing the family's produce
in our private garden, gussing up in sexy outfits and
cosmetics before he came home from work, like they're doing
the stereotypical trad wife. They're making, Yes, they're they're making
it sound like it's the caricature of that.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
It definitely is. In this case.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Obaying is a word they use, baking, baby making.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
When you put it like this, yeah, that sounds awful.
But it's also a misinterpretation of what a nineteen fifties
housewife did. Because the idea that nineteen fifties housewife literally
sat at home from eight thirty until four point thirty
(17:50):
waiting for her husband to come home, and then when
he did, she made sure that he had an old
fashioned and that her hair was done up when she
got home, or something like that. That that that's a
misinterpretation of what women were doing at the time.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Why am I saying that.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I don't know, but I'm enjoying it. Continue, I can't
What were they doing? Gary, tell me more about women
and their plays.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Well, it's not like they didn't work. They just didn't
work like he did. Is that safe to say? My
mom wasn't the fifties housewife? So I don't know this
woman in this article. By thirty six, ten years after
she got married, she got four kids, she said she
(18:35):
feels herself feeling like a prisoner in her marriage, which
ultimately ended in divorce. And she said the biggest challenge
of this, again oversimplification of the trad wife world that
she got into, was she wasn't ready for life post divorce.
She didn't really have a great education after high school,
(18:57):
zero professional resume, very little real world experience that she
could market for a job. So now she's just saying
she's got to tell other people to be careful what
you're doing.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Well, the article is about being a tradwife. After it
falls apart, essentially, they say that this is she is
one in a rising army of former tradwives who, after
saying I do to this life in their late teens
or early twenties are now virallly warning women about the
not so instagrammable dark side. There are a lot of
(19:34):
trad wives, she says, over thirty five or forty, because
it either got divorced and moved away from the lifestyle
after learning how toxic it can be. Online discourse has
erupted this after Jessica Valenti, a New York City feminist
speaker and author, asked a lighthearted question on social media.
Here it is, where are they hiding all the forty
(19:54):
seven year old tradwives? Why are they not out there
espousing how amazing this lifestyle is? Then two million people
watched the video and the comment section suddenly became a
virtual confessional booth for millennial and gen X women who
endeared severe trauma. They write, after leading an obstensibly sweet.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Life, I would bet that there are plenty of forty
seven year old wives who are in more traditional marriages, yes,
who do not call themselves trad wifes. They just call
themselves wives and mothers. They don't need a label for it,
and mothers happy or the ones that got divorced are
not happy.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
I've spent all my good years raising your kids while
you were working and going up.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
This is not a new story, that is what I'm saying. Well,
you were rising the career ladder and I was at
home doing all of the homework and raising these children,
and now we're getting a divorce and what do I'm doing?
What am I doing?
Speaker 7 (20:50):
Now?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
This is like is this is not a new story.
It just has new labels like tradwife on it.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
And the thing that they're not alluding to in this
article is, well, there's one.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
My advice to these ladies is go on TikTok and
do that divorce glow we told you about.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
There's one married at seventeen, divorced ten years later, I'm
now thirty seven. Every day is a poverty stricken struggle.
That's one. Here's another one married at twenty, divorced at
thirty eight, raising seven kids, no job history, no college,
no experience. Where's the dude in this now? Again? Yes?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
There I mean goes back to my golden rule. Have
your own money, ladies, Always have your own money.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Even if you want to live that traditional or again
Finger quotes the trad wife life. Yeah, you gotta know
that there's something else in it. There's put that in
the paperwork from go just protect yourself. Sure, exactly, all right?
Stealing stuff from hotel rooms, yes, what have you stolen?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
I have accidentally stolen a a handtwel.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Before I stole the mini fridge.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
But there's nothing that you should want to take from
your hotel room.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Let's remember. Let's remember you're not the first one in
the hotel room. People have done awful things in there.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 7 (22:23):
Hey Gary and Shannon Thomas here, Hey Thomas. Yeah, whenever
we go to Caesar's Properties, we take towels, watchclots, pillows,
throw pillows, all that kind of stuff. We got about
twenty towels from Caesar's Properties. We love them. We got
some throw pillows on our couch right now, come over
(22:46):
and enjoy.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Thank dude. The throw pillows are the worst. You don't
know where those things are. I mean, you do know
where those things have been, and you still took over.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Most common item I'm gonna say.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
GV were about why then I come home with one?
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Why would you do that?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
How do you come home with how do you come
home with the all into your into your bag or something.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
And furthermore like that's that's a difficult thing to replace.
You got to order one from the company. You gotta
wait the two days for it to get there. It's
the whole thing. Well, you kind of screwing it also
doesn't work on your TV?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Right, what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (23:26):
So I've taken the iron, the iron, but I had
left the tip Gary.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Okay, why would you want the iron? Sometimes I will
say this, I like a good iron, then get one
for you. I have a good iron, but oftentimes it
gets a little hotter, and there's a little more steam
coming out of a hotel iron than there is your
your home iron. Maybe, uh, splurge on a good iron.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
I get.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I know what you mean because for a long time
I had an iron at home which was a fine
capable iron. Yeah, but I know what you mean where
you'd go to a hotel and you're like, oh, this one,
steam's real, nice hot this is nice iron. I agree,
But I wonder I've often wondered in that situation, back
when I used to care and iron things. If I
(24:18):
went out and got this iron, would it work the
same for me? I feel like it's that hotel room.
Iron magic. There's a magic in a hotel room that
doesn't exist another place. We were some we were in
Tahoe for my husband's conference, and they did not have
an iron. Really, they had a steamer. And I thought
this is controversial because some people are not steamer people.
(24:40):
They don't know how steamers are great. I think they
work just as well, if not better than an iron.
But if you're used to an iron, if you're like you,
I see look on your face right now.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
You well, my wife has a steamer that I don't know, Well,
I guess I could use it on a suit jacket.
I'm not going to iron a suit jacket, am I.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
You could use the steamer on anything. You use it
on your shirts, all of it. Oh yeah, it works
just like an iron, but differently. See your face is
doing just like I just thought that that was a
controversial move that this hotel had removed irons and put
in steamers, because not everyone knows how to use it,
like you. Not everyone knows that they can do everything
(25:20):
that they would do with an iron with a.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Steamer out from from bottom to top. The most commonly
stolen items out of hotel rooms remote controls, is number ten. Dishes. Dishes.
I guess if you stay in a place that's got
a little kitchen at pens, I always take the pen.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Yeah, I didn't think that was a theft. I thought
that was just what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
It's a gift. It's got the name of the hotel
on it, so you always remember where you were. I
have a bunch of those hair dryers. I don't like
the hair dryers those those are, to me, are the
opposite of the iron, very rare. You get a good one.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I've actually thought about traveling with my hair dre for
football and then realize that that's ridiculous and I.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Don't want to be that pigdulous. You don't think that's
my wife, does it? Pillows was sixth. Blankets Fifth, guys,
you are not the only ones to have used those
pillows and blankets. I do not think that's a good
idea coming in Third hangers hangers because they're lightweight, easy
(26:28):
to pack. Toiletrees Sorry I skipped that one. Toiletrees was
number four, including Sam shampoo, soap and tissues. Those are
also the shampoo and the soap thing has gone by
the wayside now everybody's just got the the three holer,
the thing stuck on the wall that you got to
(26:48):
squirt into your hands. And I'm a bar of soap guy.
I'm not a I'm not a body wash guy. So
I always struggled.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
My husband would always take the little bottles and the
lit soaps. In fact, that's all he would use at home.
Are different hotel My mother.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Did the exact same thing. Yeah. Second, second most common
was bathrobes, because those bathrobes are pretty good. Oftentimes, not
a lot of people have bathrobes anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
I still think about other naked people putting that on
and sitting in it.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Strong point, strong point. But number one the most commonly
stolen thing from a hotel room towels. Yeah, towels, And
a lot of that is going to depend on the
quality of the hotel that you're staying. If you're at
a let's just say, if you're at something that starts
with an M, motel, those towels are like sand paper.
(27:44):
But you stay in a higher end place, you're gonna
get some nicer towels.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
I loved the bed at the w circa fifteen years ago,
and so I bought the bed and they actually sell
their their own branded like beds and bedding, and I
got and I just I loved it. But you know what,
you're probably safer with the towels and the and the
sheets that you steal, because I think they just bleach
(28:06):
the hell out of that every time.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Oh, the highest temperature one.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
It's probably it's probably fine.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
That's the other thing that's happened over the course of
the last say fifteen years, is these higher end hotels
include a catalog in the room where you can order
the mattress or the furniture or the bedding or whatever. Yeah,
all right, big eleven o'clock hour coming up next to
any place you find your podcast, by the way, is

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):
I have a diarrhea updates get it. The cases of
a parasite that can cause explosive diarrhea quickly quadrupled in
the state of Michigan. Yeah, I've heard it's a big
Great Lakes problem. Dealing with it. Skyrocketing six and eighty
one people have come down with the cyclos bariasis. As
(00:31):
of the most recent numbers, Michigan is by far the
hardest hit state. New York Illinois, Texas have also reported
a concerning number, as many as eighty six six take two.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Cyclost Bariasis is usually contracted just say I'm a diarrhea
You can say that, can't.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
But they have yet to identify a specific source of
the current outbreak. Part two of my update, Pardon the Punt.
A cruise ship carrying thousands of passengers had to dock
in Alaska yesterday after hit being hit by its second
consecutive outbreak of potential neurovirus. In this case, it was
(01:14):
the Ruby Princess that arrived in Haines, Alaska after six
crew members and one passenger had to be placed in
isolation with a cute gastro enteritis, and there's nothing cute
about it. They have prompted that prompted the ship to
undergo even higher disinfection measures. This is after after they
(01:38):
went through an extensive deep cleaning last week, when they
had a much larger outbreak on a previous voyage. Careful
where you go. Has your obsession with diarrhea been stated? Ah?
I'm fine for now, okay, but if there are.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Updates, your tank is full for right now, but it
may run a little out here.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I thought that this La Times article started with a bang. Now,
maybe the author was just writing this to I don't know.
I guess give some people make some people feel bad
for Jennifer Newsom. I read this as Jennifer Newsom was
outed as being ridiculous. In the first couple paragraphs of
this article. They're talking about this February press conference, and
(02:20):
it was a planned parenthood press conference, and the reporter
started asking Gavin Newso questions about a bunch of other things,
because that's what happens with all dignitaries and press conferences.
Do you really think you'd have that turnout for just
insert pet project here, whether it be homelessness, planned parenthood, whatever,
(02:41):
No people here. Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, is
going to be a press conference. The entire press corps
goes to ask him about everything.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
And you're not asking about it, and she freaked out
over so wait, let me just set this up.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So he's taking questions.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
So they do the Planned Parenthood press conference, more fund
what have you, because the federal government had pulled back funding,
and so they open up to questions. First couple questions
are asked, and then the reporter start asking him questions
about other things. Now she's in the background, Jennifer Sebel
Newsom is and she is visibly agitated, and she kind
(03:17):
of butts him aside takes the podium. Gavin Newsome looks
flu mixed by this. You can tell she's a lot
at home and this is what she says.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
And the majority of the questions, all of these questions
have really been about other issues. So it's just fascinting.
You have this incredible woman's coucues and all these allies
and you're not asking about it. And this happens over
and over and over and over again. You wonder why
we have such a horrific war on women in this country.
You're ridiculous, given away with it. You don't seem to care.
(03:49):
It's a press conference offer that.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
She does say at the end of it. I don't
know why it's cut off, she does.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I offer that love, which makes her sound like an
a hole, And I offer this.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
With love like so bad? Whoa like?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You just mean ladied all of us and now you're
like and it's with love like, oh my gosh, that
runs a foul of like it should give you a
chill down your spine to be talked to like that.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Well, let me let me relate this a little bit
to Grand Platiner. Also, just in that we discuss that
when you are involved in politics, these people take on
a in many cases, an overinflated sense of self worth.
And I don't know Jennifer Siebel Newsome. I mean, obviously
(04:38):
we see her, we see her public persona. But the
idea that you would like, you said, go in front
of a news conference like that, and that's great. Through
that's who she is.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
She's a spoiled little girl from Ren County whose father
was a major Republican contributor.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
She grew up with a silver spoon. She's spoiled.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
She spends spoiled her entire life, and that's what you get,
and that's who she is. And if Gavin Newsom wanted
to pretend to be everyman, he should have picked a
different partner.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
It's because when you.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Marry somebody who also comes from money and privilege, you're
never going to be able to play the everyman card.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
She has what she's now saying. Also, in fact, Gavin
Newsom suggested it when if you remember, the federal investigation
was launched and he came out and made this video
that said Trump is coming after me. Despite the fact
that Trump didn't start the investigation. She has come out
and suggested that this and the investigation into her aspect
(05:34):
her nonprofits, the money that was behested to that group,
she's suggesting that all of that is because she's a
woman in and I'll use finger quotes here in a
position of pages just.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
So disingenuous to actual women who really do start grassroots
level nonprofits and fight and claw their way for funding
i e. Planned Parenthood when it began, and all of
those things she has been given a silver spoon in
this nonprofit world, she has taken money from lobbyists.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
From go.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
You don't get to pretend that you are this victim
this I am just running a nonprofit. No, it's funded,
it's fueled by lobbyists, money, people who want favors from
your husband who runs the state. And I'm not saying
that that's wrong or illegal. Just don't try to pretend
you're in that other lane. That's my problem with Gavin
Newsom too. So your privileged. So you grew up a
(06:35):
getty darling. That's fine. There's a million people that are
in power that were born into privilege.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Just own it.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Just stop pretending you're somebody you're not. To both of
them is what I would like for them.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
It doesn't preclude that their upbringing, does not preclude them
from joining the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
It doesn't make you advocating for people. I don't think
you're a bad person because you were born into money.
I don't think you're a bad person for being privileged
your whole life. But don't try to lie about it.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, it's so frustrating, and listen, I think you're right.
I mean, they do talk about in this article her
decision to go by a first partner as opposed to
the first lady to be more gender inclusive and gender expansive.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I didn't want to be a lady because I didn't
want to be someone who's seen to just be standing
on the sidelines.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Right, Well, you're not, sweetheart.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
You're in the pig pen with all the other whores
that want money from lobbyists.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
And be careful what you wish for. You want that
position all the other sitting on the sideline, you're gonna be.
You know, you may not have a positions you're going
to get tackled, but you do have a position of influence.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
You put yourself on the playing field. You're playing with
the money. You're playing with the big dogs in Sacramento.
By taking lobbyist money, you're going to get tackled.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
And is it because she's a woman? See? To me,
that's so to me, that hurts women. I want to
talk about that.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I want to talk I do because I think that
it's putting up a shield of I'm untouchable because I'm
a woman and there's a war on women, and you
can't touch anything I do because I'm one of them.
It's a it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Gary Shannon will continue.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
There is something going on in New York today. Several
floors of a midtown Manhattan office building that's being renovated
right now started caving in, so the building had to
be evacuated. Several adjacent buildings have been evacuated, Several streets
have been closed because of the fear that this thing
is going to collapse. At the corner of East forty
second and second former headquarters for Pfizer and is under conversion.
(08:43):
They're turning it into a bunch of condos. Apparently, about
eight o'clock this morning, some construction workers noticed cracks inside
the support beams and the beams were beginning to buckle
on the twenty first and twenty second floors. So they
held a news conference just basically that it's kind of
a wait and see until this thing if in fact
it is going to collapse, or if they're going to
(09:04):
have to find a way to get in there and
take this thing down. So just to put a bow
on this.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Jennifer Sebel Newsome La Times article, they do bring up
an unconvenient truth about the Newsoms as they make their
way to the presidential election for.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
And that's something that I've mentioned time and time again,
is Gavin Newsom may play well in California as a
California Democrat, but this kind of Westside Democrat, the privileged Democrat,
how does that play in the swing states? How does
that play in the states that matter the Michigans of
the world, and things like that, And the La Times
article wrote it this way.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
As the twenty twenty eight election looms, conservatives have been
dredging up old clips, highlighting Jennifer Sebel Newsom's comments about
parenting and deconstructing gender roles to portray her as radical
and woke, like this, as she reads to her children,
sometimes she changes the protagonist's gender from he to she
(10:06):
to show that women can cent her a story.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
She has talked about.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Giving her son's dolls so that they can decide if
they want to play with dolls or not. Anyway, they
highlight the La Times that she could be a liability
for him as he seeks national office. A New York
Post columnist who they quoted says, Jennifer Cebel Newsom is
(10:33):
a very avatar of a Democrat woman, haughty, hectoring, and
pleased with herself. She's single handedly wrecking her henpecked husband,
Gavin's lofty political ambitions. And that is the vibe that
I got to a tee in that news conference, and
I don't think that plays well in some parts of
(10:53):
the country.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Add to that, in that same vein, she was asked,
Jennifer Sebel Newsom was asked a few years ago, if
in fact she becomes the first lady, would she use
the term first lady if her husband is elected president
or would she go with try to keep the first
partner mantle? And she said, I don't know if Americans
(11:16):
are ready for a first partner. Sadly, I don't think
they are now. And that's exactly. That's exactly to put
a super fine point on what you're saying, the exact
kind of attitude that a lot of people aren't gonna
be okay with.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Also, not what's wrong with being a lady. I thought
we were empowering women.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
There's a thing.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Why are we taking away the lady from being a lady?
Why are we I don't want to be called a
partner I and that to me is like being a
proud woman, being a proud first lady. There's nothing wrong
with lady is not a dirty word. It's like a
you can be a strong lady. There's a lot of
first ladies that came before you, sweetheart, who were damn
(12:00):
stronger than you could even imagine, and overcame things that
you couldn't even read about and get one tenth of
a feeling of how that felt.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
And arguably they weren't necessarily even lauded for their efforts,
right the Roosevelt wives. I mean these there are women
that occupied that White House. More power on share that
title with them. It's one of the things. And I've
said this before as the father of a daughter, I
come at it from a different angle than you do
(12:29):
because you're living in it. But I've seen people say
to my daughter, isn't it weird to be a woman
in a stem, you know, in the world of chemistry
or science, that that somehow people look at you differently.
She's probably never even thought of that, absolutely, not especially
considering it. Like you always say, in the Year of
(12:52):
Our Lord twenty twenty six, the majority of the people
that she works with or that works closely with. Are
women or the guys that she works with. Don't look
at her as being somehow inferior or anything. She's leading
the team. She's the one who's in charge. There's clearly
if you're Jennifer Seebel Newsom and you're fifty two, you've
(13:12):
got some things that you're still hung up on. But
if you're twenty two, a lot of that stuff is gone.
I mean, this idea that there's this massive was it
the term she used, the massive war on women that
still exists. That doesn't make a lot of sense if
you're twenty two years old, so.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Horrific war on I've never found it to be a handicap.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
And I'm not twenty two. And listen, people are gonna
treat and.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I work in both jobs in a male dominated world,
and I've never found it to be a handicap.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
And there will be people who treat you differently because
you're a woman, and those people are called a holes
that we can't ignore that. Don't say this is like
an institutional thing, or this is it's yeah, there was that.
There was a time. I get it, But now that
guy's an a hole, I treat you differently and you
deal with it. Are you dealing and you learn to
deal with it. You learned to deal with it yourself,
(14:08):
not make your husband go do it for you.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Oh, wouldn't the wouldn't the A hole like that instead
a level headed person.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Coming up in a couple of minutes, we're gonna be
talking about the most stolen items from hotel rooms and holy.
Speaker 6 (14:29):
Cow, Hey guys, what I took from a motel room
as a teenager. My mother was traveling across the country
with us kids. I took one of those massage bed
boxes where you put the quarters in. I put it
into my suitcase, and I think about three months later
I broke into it finally, and there was like four dollars.
(14:51):
My mother never knew I took it. She would have
really scolded me if she found out.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
I remember my grandma. They're staying in a hotel room
with her boyfriend. This was very scandalous circa nineteen eighty
nine or whenever it was. It feels like it was
about nineteen eighty nine ish, maybe later, and we were
in the room to see her and the bed had
(15:19):
one of those little boxes next to it. Now I'm
nine or what have you.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I have no idea what that is.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
But it was very much implied that it was something
that was an adult thing, like, oh, it's got one
of those boxes.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
And I was like, oh, what is that? And then
it was And then I remember.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
My dad kind of chuckling a little bit, like you
know the laugh your parents get when they're laughing about
something that you don't know about, that you shouldn't know about.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Kind of a thing.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
But the idea that there used to be those boxes
that were attached, that there used to be a contraption
that madeor hotel bed shake.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
Is odd to me. And that they went away. Well,
why was it ever a thing that's a great? Was
it a sex thing? Or was it to lull you
to sleep? I get I think it was. How is
it a sex thing?
Speaker 5 (16:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
I never tried it.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Okay, Well to shoot gears. From first partner to trad wife.
There is an article at a New York Post about
anitsa Templeton, hyper traditional, faith centered home. Her husband was
considered the king of the castle. She married. It's twenty six.
(16:35):
She abandoned her dreams of pursuing a career in art
to be a wife, solely to be a wife. She said,
to satisfy her husband's every command, which is a misinterpretation.
But I feel like this article is really caricature. That's
(16:56):
a perfect word the trad wife.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
The fact that it's written up like she decided to
instead satisfy her man's every command, growing the family's produce
in our private garden, gussing up in sexy outfits and
cosmetics before he came home from work, like they're doing
the stereotypical trad wife. They're making, Yes, they're they're making
it sound like it's the caricature of that.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
It definitely is. In this case.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Obaying is a word they use, baking, baby making.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
When you put it like this, yeah, that sounds awful.
But it's also a misinterpretation of what a nineteen fifties
housewife did. Because the idea that nineteen fifties housewife literally
sat at home from eight thirty until four point thirty
(17:50):
waiting for her husband to come home, and then when
he did, she made sure that he had an old
fashioned and that her hair was done up when she
got home, or something like that. That that that's a
misinterpretation of what women were doing at the time.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Why am I saying that.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I don't know, but I'm enjoying it. Continue, I can't
What were they doing? Gary, tell me more about women
and their plays.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Well, it's not like they didn't work. They just didn't
work like he did. Is that safe to say? My
mom wasn't the fifties housewife? So I don't know this
woman in this article. By thirty six, ten years after
she got married, she got four kids, she said she
(18:35):
feels herself feeling like a prisoner in her marriage, which
ultimately ended in divorce. And she said the biggest challenge
of this, again oversimplification of the trad wife world that
she got into, was she wasn't ready for life post divorce.
She didn't really have a great education after high school,
(18:57):
zero professional resume, very little real world experience that she
could market for a job. So now she's just saying
she's got to tell other people to be careful what
you're doing.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Well, the article is about being a tradwife. After it
falls apart, essentially, they say that this is she is
one in a rising army of former tradwives who, after
saying I do to this life in their late teens
or early twenties are now virallly warning women about the
not so instagrammable dark side. There are a lot of
(19:34):
trad wives, she says, over thirty five or forty, because
it either got divorced and moved away from the lifestyle
after learning how toxic it can be. Online discourse has
erupted this after Jessica Valenti, a New York City feminist
speaker and author, asked a lighthearted question on social media.
Here it is, where are they hiding all the forty
(19:54):
seven year old tradwives? Why are they not out there
espousing how amazing this lifestyle is? Then two million people
watched the video and the comment section suddenly became a
virtual confessional booth for millennial and gen X women who
endeared severe trauma. They write, after leading an obstensibly sweet.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Life, I would bet that there are plenty of forty
seven year old wives who are in more traditional marriages, yes,
who do not call themselves trad wifes. They just call
themselves wives and mothers. They don't need a label for it,
and mothers happy or the ones that got divorced are
not happy.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
I've spent all my good years raising your kids while
you were working and going up.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
This is not a new story, that is what I'm saying. Well,
you were rising the career ladder and I was at
home doing all of the homework and raising these children,
and now we're getting a divorce and what do I'm doing?
What am I doing?
Speaker 7 (20:50):
Now?
Speaker 3 (20:50):
This is like is this is not a new story.
It just has new labels like tradwife on it.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
And the thing that they're not alluding to in this
article is, well, there's one.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
My advice to these ladies is go on TikTok and
do that divorce glow we told you about.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
There's one married at seventeen, divorced ten years later, I'm
now thirty seven. Every day is a poverty stricken struggle.
That's one. Here's another one married at twenty, divorced at
thirty eight, raising seven kids, no job history, no college,
no experience. Where's the dude in this now? Again? Yes?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
There I mean goes back to my golden rule. Have
your own money, ladies, Always have your own money.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Even if you want to live that traditional or again
Finger quotes the trad wife life. Yeah, you gotta know
that there's something else in it. There's put that in
the paperwork from go just protect yourself. Sure, exactly, all right?
Stealing stuff from hotel rooms, yes, what have you stolen?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
I have accidentally stolen a a handtwel.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Before I stole the mini fridge.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
But there's nothing that you should want to take from
your hotel room.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Let's remember. Let's remember you're not the first one in
the hotel room. People have done awful things in there.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 7 (22:23):
Hey Gary and Shannon Thomas here, Hey Thomas. Yeah, whenever
we go to Caesar's Properties, we take towels, watchclots, pillows,
throw pillows, all that kind of stuff. We got about
twenty towels from Caesar's Properties. We love them. We got
some throw pillows on our couch right now, come over
(22:46):
and enjoy.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Thank dude. The throw pillows are the worst. You don't
know where those things are. I mean, you do know
where those things have been, and you still took over.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Most common item I'm gonna say.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
GV were about why then I come home with one?
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Why would you do that?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
How do you come home with how do you come
home with the all into your into your bag or something.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
And furthermore like that's that's a difficult thing to replace.
You got to order one from the company. You gotta
wait the two days for it to get there. It's
the whole thing. Well, you kind of screwing it also
doesn't work on your TV?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Right, what are you doing?
Speaker 3 (23:26):
So I've taken the iron, the iron, but I had
left the tip Gary.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Okay, why would you want the iron? Sometimes I will
say this, I like a good iron, then get one
for you. I have a good iron, but oftentimes it
gets a little hotter, and there's a little more steam
coming out of a hotel iron than there is your
your home iron. Maybe, uh, splurge on a good iron.
Speaker 5 (23:57):
I get.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I know what you mean because for a long time
I had an iron at home which was a fine
capable iron. Yeah, but I know what you mean where
you'd go to a hotel and you're like, oh, this one,
steam's real, nice hot this is nice iron. I agree,
But I wonder I've often wondered in that situation, back
when I used to care and iron things. If I
(24:18):
went out and got this iron, would it work the
same for me? I feel like it's that hotel room.
Iron magic. There's a magic in a hotel room that
doesn't exist another place. We were some we were in
Tahoe for my husband's conference, and they did not have
an iron. Really, they had a steamer. And I thought
this is controversial because some people are not steamer people.
(24:40):
They don't know how steamers are great. I think they
work just as well, if not better than an iron.
But if you're used to an iron, if you're like you,
I see look on your face right now.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
You well, my wife has a steamer that I don't know, Well,
I guess I could use it on a suit jacket.
I'm not going to iron a suit jacket, am I.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
You could use the steamer on anything. You use it
on your shirts, all of it. Oh yeah, it works
just like an iron, but differently. See your face is
doing just like I just thought that that was a
controversial move that this hotel had removed irons and put
in steamers, because not everyone knows how to use it,
like you. Not everyone knows that they can do everything
(25:20):
that they would do with an iron with a.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Steamer out from from bottom to top. The most commonly
stolen items out of hotel rooms remote controls, is number ten. Dishes. Dishes.
I guess if you stay in a place that's got
a little kitchen at pens, I always take the pen.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Yeah, I didn't think that was a theft. I thought
that was just what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
It's a gift. It's got the name of the hotel
on it, so you always remember where you were. I
have a bunch of those hair dryers. I don't like
the hair dryers those those are, to me, are the
opposite of the iron, very rare. You get a good one.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I've actually thought about traveling with my hair dre for
football and then realize that that's ridiculous and I.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Don't want to be that pigdulous. You don't think that's
my wife, does it? Pillows was sixth. Blankets Fifth, guys,
you are not the only ones to have used those
pillows and blankets. I do not think that's a good
idea coming in Third hangers hangers because they're lightweight, easy
(26:28):
to pack. Toiletrees Sorry I skipped that one. Toiletrees was
number four, including Sam shampoo, soap and tissues. Those are
also the shampoo and the soap thing has gone by
the wayside now everybody's just got the the three holer,
the thing stuck on the wall that you got to
(26:48):
squirt into your hands. And I'm a bar of soap guy.
I'm not a I'm not a body wash guy. So
I always struggled.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
My husband would always take the little bottles and the
lit soaps. In fact, that's all he would use at home.
Are different hotel My mother.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Did the exact same thing. Yeah. Second, second most common
was bathrobes, because those bathrobes are pretty good. Oftentimes, not
a lot of people have bathrobes anymore.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
I still think about other naked people putting that on
and sitting in it.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Strong point, strong point. But number one the most commonly
stolen thing from a hotel room towels. Yeah, towels, And
a lot of that is going to depend on the
quality of the hotel that you're staying. If you're at
a let's just say, if you're at something that starts
with an M, motel, those towels are like sand paper.
(27:44):
But you stay in a higher end place, you're gonna
get some nicer towels.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
I loved the bed at the w circa fifteen years ago,
and so I bought the bed and they actually sell
their their own branded like beds and bedding, and I
got and I just I loved it. But you know what,
you're probably safer with the towels and the and the
sheets that you steal, because I think they just bleach
(28:06):
the hell out of that every time.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Oh, the highest temperature one.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
It's probably it's probably fine.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
That's the other thing that's happened over the course of
the last say fifteen years, is these higher end hotels
include a catalog in the room where you can order
the mattress or the furniture or the bedding or whatever. Yeah,
all right, big eleven o'clock hour coming up next to
