Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
What You Watch on Wednesday comes up at the bottom
of the hour. We're going to talk about some shows.
You're gonna have to convince me. The show you're telling
me about, You're gonna have to convince me. But we'll
talk about it coming up at twelve thirty. I have
also found a show and it's a British show and
it's hard.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
I guess I was out of shows, which is why
I landed on the show that both of us rejected
last year.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
It has been a weird it's a dead time.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
It's a dead time. I've gotten things done. I've gotten
things done around the house. I'm working out more n
I'm reading my book. I'm not watching television in bed.
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Are you eating? Still? Though? The writs and the ice
creams and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Has to constantly prop Garia about telling us how good
he is at whatever.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
I know, but it's never reciprocated.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I wonder why that is, well, because maybe I have
the self esteem issue and she doesn't.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
That was accurate.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
What else is going on? Time for what's happening?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Well, we've been mentioning this ever since the news broke
just about an hour ago, former LA Fire Department Chief
Kristin Crowley suing the city and the mayor. This goes
back to the fires and the fire response from January.
Mayer was out of town and came back to hell
fire in terms of public perception on her being out
of town when she knew the forecast. So it seemed
(01:44):
like a head needed to roll and LA Fire Department
Chief Kristin Crowley was that head, called out to the
carpet by Bass, who said she didn't do an after
action report, she didn't put enough firefighters on the line.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
All of it, and again most of it stemmed from
an interview the crowd did with Fox eleven about who
was responsible and did the city let down the departments?
Speaker 6 (02:06):
My job to stand up as a chief and exactly say,
justifiably what the fire department needs to operate to meet
the demands of the community.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Did they fail you?
Speaker 6 (02:17):
That is our job and I tell you that's why
I'm here. So let's get us what we need so
firefighters can do their jobs.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Did they fail you.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yes in the lawsuit or in the claim. The quote
is the lies, de seit, exaggerations and misrepresentations need to
be addressed with the only thing that can refute them,
the true facts. As firefighters, we run towards uncertainty and
are willing to risk it all. Doing the right thing,
even when it is hard, is always the right decision,
(02:47):
and Crowley rights. That is why I'm continuing to fight
for the resources our firefighters need to keep us all safe.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
West Hollywood has chosen to ban retail sales of nearly
all live animals. They had an existing ban on the
retail sale of dogs and cats that's been in effect
over a decade. So is this like a puppy stores
and things like that, like the designer Peppy.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Is this what it's trying to crack down on?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I guess I didn't know there were.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Listen, people that are rich are going to buy their
fancy animals, not in a storefront. There's numbers, there's a
network of people. How did you buy your fancy dogs?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
You know? Somebody?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
We had somebody who came in here who had who
had a Scottish terrier, and that's what we were looking for,
was a specific Scottish terrier.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Right, if somebody is going to buy an animal, but
through connections it was Yeah, it's not a store, right,
I mean you've seen the documentaries about the stores. Though
they're horrific, they're awful, the way these designer puppies are treated.
The chwell wasn't the like. But anyway, nearly all live animals.
What else was people? What else were people trying to buy?
Apparently reptiles, rabbits, rodents, hermit crabs, amphibians, arachnids, birds and
(03:58):
fish hermit Where am I supposed to buy a fish?
If I can't get it in the fish store? I
have I have a connection to buy a goldfish.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Go to the carnival. Probably I could go throw the
ping pong ball into the bowl and you.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Get the fish.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Awful, isn't it. They've got a day of outlawed that right,
this poor little cold.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Face Food and Drug Administration speaking of animals, investigating contamination
reports and frozen shrimp sold at Walmart.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
We should get a fish.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
We've done that before.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
We never have done a fish.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
I'd be fine with a fish.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
According to a press release from the FDA, they found
caesium one thirty seven, detected by Customs and Border Protection
and shipping containers that arrived in the ports of La Houston, Miami,
and Savannah, Georgia. Samples found the presence of the caesium
one thirty seven in a shipment of breaded shrimp, most
of it being sold in the South and the Midwest.
(04:53):
Please do not eat radioactive shrimp in that vein. We've
got the plague. The plague is made a comeback.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I'm assuming the shrimp, the bad shrimp, ends up with
gastro intestinal issues. I think that's how the plague starts,
right anyway, the plague. Yes, this is the same plague
that wiped out all those people in the sixteen hundreds
and in Europe.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
It's in Lake Tahoe, South Lake Tahoe.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Somebody went camping, got bit by an infected flea, and
now they have tested positive for the plague. Squirrels and
chipmunks carry these little uh, these little darlings. Let's see.
Symptoms include They happen within two weeks of exposure. They
include fever, nausea, weakness, swollen lymph nodes. Can take antibiotics
(05:41):
and you'll be fine. The plague is much more sexier
to say, than it actually.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Will kill you.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Swollen boobos?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
What's the swollen boobo?
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Isn't that what they call them? Isn't it the nodes
that get swollen?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Boobo?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
That's why they call it the boobonic plague.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Really, what a fun name?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Boobo? You could do at the Booboo knockoff and call
it bobo.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
You're reading my mind.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Disneyland Resort hotels are going to change their early theme
park entry program this if you were lucky enough to
have stayed in one of the hotels, they used to
allow you thirty minute early access before everybody else. You know,
the poors were allowed to go into Disneyland. So now instead,
starting January fifth of next year, if you have a
(06:29):
valid hotel reservation, you'll receive one complimentary lightning lane entry
for a lightning lane multi pass attraction during the day.
Not all of them have them, but you can almost
go check it out. Disneyland said the early entry program
was not widely used, which is strange because you get
in thirty minutes before everybody else does.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Why aren't they called the boobo nodes the boobo nodes
and not the in the lymph nodes Instead, boobos is
so much more fun to say.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Maybe somebody thought it was too fun and science can't
be fun. Oh maybe probably.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Boobos is what the guy who's fun at the end
of the bar says.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Hey, I boobo, guys.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
And boobo I need Can I get a shot and
the feel back?
Speaker 4 (07:17):
And oh, let me show you my boobos.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I got a boobo for you.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
This boobo looks swollen to you.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
See fun.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Gary and Shannon will continue, will it? Unless somebody comes
running down the hallway and tells us? Once someone ran
it's been a while.
Speaker 7 (07:37):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KF
I am six forty.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
No, you don't, hi, guys. I just wanted to chime
in and say that I love Elmer's voice.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
It's great.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Love you guys, have a great day. Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
There you go. That's not the first time we've heard
that either.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Oh thanks stranger.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Yeah, hmm, you're right.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
I am okay fine.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I wanted to bring this to your attention. There was
a survey of doctors released today. This is from NBC News.
We've talked about, you know, web MD and all of
the pitfalls of googling whatever your ailment is and how
you are gonna it's going to lead you to think
you have cancer within three clicks.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
But apparently it's gone crazy. It's gone crazy.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
It's not just online, but also within the walls of
medical exam rooms where doctors and patients talk. Medical falsehoods
have become well like fake news. Really, that's what the
doctors are all saying, fake news. People become obsessed with
things on social media, whether it's skinny talk or it
(08:58):
is you know, different medical treatments for your face, different procedures,
what have you, and they just snowball, like one conversation
snowballs into a trend, snowballs into a truth, and it's
gotten peak crazy. According to the Physicians Foundation, sixty one
(09:18):
percent of doctors now say they've encountered patients influenced by
misinformation or disinformation over the past year. And yeah, if
you're going to get into it, some of it's political
as well.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I wonder if this is a I wonder how much
of an impact social media has on this, And obviously
it's it's it's significant, but I want to know how
significant because forty years ago, your grandma had a remedy
for everything. Yes, was it based in science, No, it
was based in trial and error, which.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
She put oil science.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
But oh is the oil of ola put that on everything?
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Or the I mean the silly remember from winds big
fat Greek wedding. Yeah, Chris Rock had the windex bit.
Well that was big fat Greek wedding. I thought, oh,
where the grandpa would drink windecks? Oh oh oh, Chris
Rocks was tousin. Yes, rub a little tussin on, rub.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
A little tussin on it. The overwhelming majority of physicians,
that's eighty six percent. So the incidents of the falsehoods
among patients increased over the last five years. Now, this
is something we cannot ignore how absolutely botched up the
public health community screwed everybody during COVID, but.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
It's been screwed up for years. Like the food pyramid
we grew up with. Good example is Belgoney.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
And when it came to a head at COVID, when
everybody looked to public health for clear, unadulterated scientific guidance,
we all got slapped around like children. I mean, we
were taken advantage of because so many people were afraid
of what was what we're told. We were told that
(11:02):
children were dying in the streets from this random bat flu.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
It wasn't just a fear.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
It was people using COVID for political gain and for power.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
It was a power grab.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
You can't tell me that Gavin Newsom didn't love everyone
running to their television at noon to hear what he
told you you could or couldn't do. He loved having
that godlike power. A lot of politicians did. They used
it for their own benefit. So there's that. There's the
social media knows more than your doctor. It's the politicians
(11:35):
no more than your doctor. And it's got to be
frustrating as hell to be a real doctor and to
put up with people coming in thinking that they know
better than you. So, of course, so how the food
pyramid that we had didn't say to eat bread like
all the time.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
All day. That was the bottoms of the peer.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Bread.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Yeah, as much bread as you can get, and we did.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Oh, we couldn't figure out why the eighties you.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Had bread adults have diabetes.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
You had bread with every meal.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I mean you had toast in the morning, you had
sandwich in the afternoon. You had bread at supper. Do
we say supper? Do I say supper.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Now, holy hell, is that how we learn to love bread?
Speaker 4 (12:18):
They just forced it on us. Big Grain sold us
bread as being healthy.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
You know, and then we got pissed. There was anarchy.
There were riots in the street. When we went the
other way. They started making us pay for bread in
the restaurants. You want bread with your meal, you have
to pay six dollars for it.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Damn, my chuckle. It in Chinese meal.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
My mom will still do that. She'll get the bread.
And my mom doesn't even eat bread. But it's just
the sake. There are the principle of having the bread
on the table. Some places where the bread is necessary. Yeah,
you know all of guard. Here's a question though you
need the bread stick. You have diagnosed yourself with stage
kidney fail. I have left work because I thought my
(12:57):
kidneys were giving out.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Thought it was over.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I was it's my mind is so freaking powerful. And
I went into the whole of web MD and Oscar
said it. We were in the office and he's like,
you're going to give yourself cancer. Click click click Immediately I'm.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Out of here.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I totally remember calling Rob and our boss at the
time on the way I'm on the two ten I
remember I call her and I'm like, yeah, I left work.
I'm not going to be on the show today. And
she's like, okay, what's wrong. And I was like, I
think I have kidney failure. I'm going into the urgent care.
And she said to me in the most calm voice,
that is only reserved for the craziest of crazy people
(13:33):
that you're basically taking to their fifty one to fifty situation.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Oh, that sounds really scary, like she used.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
That tone, that verbiage, that's what you say to somebody
who's nearing us a break.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
And then men caught that line drive with soft hands.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
She did.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
It was masterful and it worked. In the moment. I
didn't even know what she was doing.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I was like, thank you, Yeah, okay, I'll let you
know bye, and I zoom into urgent.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I'll keep you on the list of my potential transplant donors.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
The woman at the urgent.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Care saw that line drive and she caught it, and
she threw it back at my head.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
She's like, what are you talking about.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You basically looked at me like a dumb ass of
all dumb asses, Queen, dumb ass.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
You may not be the right person then to ask
the question, but how do you how do you keep
one foot in reality if you are looking up stuff
on the internet. I mean, because you're going to go
to a doctor and you're gonna say, oh, I saw
online that if I mix two cups of brown sugar,
(14:36):
some cayenne pepper, and lemon juice, it will replace uh,
it will replace my synthetic thyroid medication.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
That actually, that concoction will do a lot for you.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Okay, now this is but the doctor will will the
doctor catch that line drive with soft hands and say, actually,
it's not a great idea of it.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I'm glad you brought up my thyroid condition because I
was really out of commission at that time. When I
thought that I had late stage kidney failure it can
have a mess was having a very hormonal impact on
my thinking process. The idea of now having a pain
in my back which really just turned out to be
(15:16):
slight back pain and thinking it's kidney failure is bonkers
to me. I think that's insane. That's an insane person. Well,
that's how powerful the thyroid is. Check your thyroidchck your thyroids.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
And that is important because we have to be able
to find a way, especially with the amount of information
that's available to us online. How do you synthesize the
information that's available to you and make an accurate decision?
Or even this, how do you come up with the
(15:48):
right questions to ask your doctor? Your doctor's human too,
Your doctor is fallible. Your doctor can get things wrong,
hopefully not and hopefully if they have questions that they
ask their doctor, your friends or whatever. I mean, that's
the whole process of the scientific process is going to
be the trial and error. But is there a way
(16:11):
for us to do this and keep ourselves grounded in
reality and not go off the.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Deep end, not give ourselves And for some of us yes,
for some of us, never know. There are some people
who are always gonna jump to conclusions with their ailments.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
All right, what you watch on Wednesday when we come back,
do not forget that Tomorrow is our news and Bruce,
we're going to be live at BJ's Restaurant in brew
House on Beach Boulevard in Huntington Beach tomorrow. Stop buy
for your chance to win gift guards to BJ's. We
have some Gary and Shannon show swag along with Dodgers tickets, chargers, tickets,
(16:48):
Grab a pazuki, grab that deep dish pizza, grab a burger.
Have great steaks there as well. I mean the salads
are I mean, just eat everything. Just go there and
say I'll take one of everything and make it a large.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
My sister just texted me Watkins liniment oil and vix
Vapo vapo rub. Yeah, people probably have these things. That
works forever.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I've never heard of Watkins, but that vix vapo rub
does it work. I can vex everything I've never met.
Latim mental latum was humongous in my house. You could
solve probably ninety percent of medical ailments with just a
quick swipe of mental atum somewhere on your body.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah, well, like Ben Gay, could I just rub that
everywhere you could?
Speaker 3 (17:32):
That worked for muscles, Probably gonna keep it away from
your eyes.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Another and culture. It's seven up and vapor rub. That
comba together will save anything.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
But you put seven up on your body.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Drink it. Oh okay, it's crazy, drink it. Dub Gary
and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 7 (17:51):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
It's gonna get warm the next couple of days. But
the bigger issue could potentially be monsoonal moisture that comes in.
There is a chance we see some thunderstorms beginning Friday,
which could bring lightning, winds, maybe even some localized flooding,
depend on how much moisture is in there.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Did you know it's a National Radio day?
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeep, yeah?
Speaker 4 (18:21):
How are you celebrating national radio?
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Did you see John COBALT's picture?
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Yeah? That how long?
Speaker 3 (18:27):
It's the best one.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Everyone's posting pictures of their radio career, and I love
them all, but John wins the day.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
How long ago was this? It says it's John's.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
First radio job in e back East in Canton, Pennsylvania,
working at one hundred point through WKADFM from nineteen eighty
three to nineteen eighty five.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
John, are you out there?
Speaker 3 (18:55):
He's not sounds like a lie anyway. Check it out.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
It's on his Instagram at John Cobalt Radio.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
That's a great picture.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
It's I mean, actual turntables, just the outfits, the glasses,
the hair, the whole bit.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
It's hard to it's hard to imagine that you're not
going to be there.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
That's the best part about looking at some of those
older pictures is the amount of equipment that existed in
an old radio studio.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Real equipment from the mid eighties, late eighties.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yeah, the least two turntables sometimes for you had real
to real machines. You had the cart machines. You did
not have computers. No, I did not have these stupid TVs.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
No.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
When I first got into radio, they had computers, but
it was very rudimentary. It was like the first computer
in your elementary school or my elementary school, from like
nineteen eighty five, right, And those were the computers and
the radio stations. They didn't have like the latest technolog
or programs or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
And it was that was the late nineties. There were
not song I mean, every song now is obviously digital.
Think about your Apple Music, Spotify, iHeart radio. Everything is digital.
You could have digital commercials back then when I started,
but you didn't have digital song It just would take
way too much space for them for you to record
a song digitally.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
I also remember.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
The extent of how advanced the computers where I told
the story before about when I met my wife, she
saw that I had a pager on my hip and
made a joke about me being a drug dealer. But
that was hooked up to our transmitter at the radio
station that I worked at, so that if the transmitter
ever went down, I could on a touchtone phone hit
the right combination of numbers and reboot the transmitter.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Wow, that's very cool.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Not cool, It is cool, like if you love radio
and the way it used to be. Yeah, you also
had a nice buggy that you.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Took to work with my horses, your donkeys, Yeah, my donkeys.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
You weren't fancy enough for horses riding as.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Riding as to Well, it's time for what you're watching Wednesday.
The following program is brought to you in living color,
but you're watching in that Americans love television. They win
their kids USA Television Mantabeta.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
You've been watching too many of those live television shows.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
What you're watching Wednesday brought to you by the Good
Feet Store.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
If you have hip or knee or back pain, you
might see if art supports can help you, go to
the Good Feet Store. Okay, tell me, you're gonna have
to convince me. Platonic. We watched a couple episodes. This
is a comedy Rose Byrne and Seth Rogan, and they
play guess what friends.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
The premise is this.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
They were friends twenty years ago, and she goes on,
she gets married, she has three kids, she's forty.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Ish, I want to say in the show. So he
is the same.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
He owns a brewery, kind of came up through bars
and stuff and ended up, you know, partners with a
couple guys and they own a brewery downtown LA. And
they were friends. They were the best of friends. He
was like the best man or the maid of honored
or wedding or what have you. And then he also
(22:22):
got married. And the reason that they start talking again
is because he's going through a divorce. He ends up
divorcing this woman. So she reaches out, like I should
reach out to my friend. It's been a long time,
and it's a falling out because she didn't like the
wife when they were dating and then soon to be married.
And so you know that if your wife, if you're
a dude and your wife doesn't like one of your
(22:45):
friends and it's a female, you're probably not going to
see her. You're probably not gonna see her that much.
Just just the way it is, the wives kind of make
the social calendar.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
That's just the way it works.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
And that's what happened here, and so now he's the
woman that didn't like Rose Burne, whose name I can't
remember in the show Sylvia, which is kind of a
funny plot point as well. Anyway, And so they pick
up their friendship again and they're great friends, and it
is funny and it's fun to watch somebody who's our
(23:17):
age ish and what that friendship looks like, especially because
we're all.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
In that same boat.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
You know, we had these great friends in our twenties,
and then people get busy with life and you move
on and you have kids and that's your priority, as
it should be, and then when you hang out again,
it's kind of cool. You regress a little bit. You
kind of kind of have to find your road about
how your friendship's going to look.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Twenty years later.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
And I gave up on it because I thought it
was going to be one of those obvious rom coms.
Rom coms where their friends and it's platonic, but it's
more and then they end up together. And I didn't
want to sign up for that because it's been done.
And when Harry met Sally can't be touched in my opinion,
so so so that's.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Why I gave up on it.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I thought I saw the writing on the wall, and
then I saw something about season two of Platonic, and
whatever I saw about it is they're still friends. They're
not that was never a thing, and I thought, I'm
going to give that show another chance, and so I did.
Because I had run out of the Internet, like I
had run out of shows to watch. I started watching
The Real Housewives of New York. But it's the vacation
(24:24):
one with the old Housewives, and I was like, I
got to find something new to watch. This is bottom
of the barrel stuff, and like it's like the Real
Housewives Vacation edition or something.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
I don't know. It was pretty bad.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
And so I'm watching Ramona, you know, for the for
the one hundredth year of my life, and I'm like,
I got to find something, and I bounce back to
Platonic and I loved it. And I'm like, episode six.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
The second season just came out a couple of weeks ago.
So there's ten episodes in season one. There's ten episodes
in season two, but the first I think it's four
episodes of the second season are out. Now there's some
strain and I can't figure out exactly who it is.
There's a strange Saturday Night Live connection to this because
a handful of the recurring cast members are Saturday Night
(25:08):
Live alums, oh, like Kyle Mooney and Adie Bryant, Beck Bennett.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
So I don't know, I don't.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
I don't recognize any of the other names like producers
or anything like that, or writers, but.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
I just have a listen.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I tried to watch Seth Rogan in the studio and
I got about five episodes in. Was choking that thing
down like it was a healthy meal, and I just
I couldn't. There's I don't know what it is about
Seth Rogan.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I get it too, I get it too, But I
really enjoy him in this show.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
I really do.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Agreed good. I watched it all.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Almar agrees with me.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
That's good. I like it when Almer agrees with you.
I don't like it when you guys fight in Santa Barbara.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
What I'm watching is on a TV up and it's
a show called Hudson and Wreck. Is that the dog
on that show? It's absolutely spectac It's really really good,
and it's all like from the Republican Doyle area of
Saint John's in Canada.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Oh check it out, Hudson and Rex and the dog
is a great actor apparently.
Speaker 7 (26:16):
So you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
We are in the midst of what you watch on
Wednesday talking about the shows that are on right now
that we've been checking out, are the ones that are
coming up. There's a couple of trailers that I've seen
that I'm excited for. Did you ever watch This would
not have been on your radar, but Fallout. Fallout was
based on a video game of the same name, post
apocalyptic but stuck in sort of a fifties vibe, sort
(26:46):
of the mid century modern era when it came to
design of cars and buildings and all that sort of stuff.
That's a really fantastic show and season two is coming
out in December. They just released the trailer for season two.
And then Terminal List. This is based on the Jack
Carr novels, and the Terminal List followed Chris Pratt as
(27:14):
the main character. The Terminal List was the first series,
and then The Terminalist Dark Wolf is the prequel series
and it's gonna star Taylor Kitsch, who, of course from
Friday Night Lights was what's his face was?
Speaker 4 (27:34):
What's his name?
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Taylor was the kid with the long hair. Yeah, it's
been a long time since I watched Friday Night Lights.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Make me look it up. I just said his name
the other day. But one of the reasons we said
his name is because he's not coming back to the
Friday Night Lights reboot that we're doing. But he was
in Friday Night Lights. His name was Ready, Tim Riggins,
Tim Reagans. Why didn't I know that?
Speaker 4 (28:03):
So so forgettable?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
We also fell into that what we thought was a
time without television shows, like without what we were so
we started watching on Apple TV. Chief of war Jason
Momoa wrote it, directed a couple of the scenes as
an executive producer in it.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
It's actually it's better than I thought it was going
to be.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
It's not filmed in Hawaii, unfortunately, but it's all about
It sounds like.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
An actor's passion project, which I always have a very
low bar for.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
It's you know I, and that's why I was afraid
of it. But it is done.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
You wanted to see that body though, Yeah, a lot
of a lot of cheeks in this one.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Yeah, that's it's great.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Is that A lot of traditional Hawaiian language, so there's
subtitles unless you happen to speak Hawaiian, but they're subtitles.
It reminded me of Showgun from FX, which was a
spectacular show once you get into it. But this one
is on Apple TV and it comes out I think
every Friday, so there's four episodes out.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
The other one that we started watching was Department Q
on Netflix.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
This is is this the reject superheroes that ruled the day?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
But that one called what It's like A But that's
an animated film, isn't it anyway?
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Sorry?
Speaker 2 (29:25):
This is a police officer who he and his partner
are ambushed in they're investigating a murder and they're ambushed
inside the scene of the murder, inside the house that
they go into, they're shot.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
They don't know who did it, they don't know why.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
The main character was hit in the neck and lived,
his partner was hit in the spine and is now paralyzed.
And then a third officer was killed, like a young
patrol officer was killed. So they're not only trying to
figure out it's kind of in the background the investigation
into who shot them.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
But he he has started his own.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Cold case unit, and they're investigating the missing or the
disappearance of a former prosecutor.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Sounds like it's an inside job.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Well, they're alluding to some things early on in this
in this show that make you do think that they're
obviously they're going to be connected.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
They wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
They wouldn't put both of them in there if they
weren't connected. But it's it's one of those shows that
is somewhat hard to follow because the accents gets so thick.
Oh yes, they're speaking English. I think I like a
fourth grade watching level. That's what I like.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
I think my close captions to be cartoon characters. Yeah,
we've got a big day tomorrow. Tomorrow, let's come see us.
It's going to be nothing but fun. We promise you fun.
We can promise fun. We are fun. Bejays on Beach
Boulevard and Huntington Beach. It is our news and bruise
for the summer. We had to wait for it to
get hot for us to get out there. And guess what,
Tomorrow's gonna be the hottest day of the summer. So
(30:57):
come to the beach with us. We are going to
be giving away Dodgers tickets, Chargers tickets, you get a
chance for a Bjay's gift card. It's gonna be a
great time. Gary's wearing a new shirt. His feet might
come out, I don't know, out of my shirt. Oh,
that'd be interesting, It would be very interesting.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I don't think so. I do not think I could
do that. Also, extra points if you bring friends. I
don't know what the points go towards, but to extra points. Yeah,
all right, So we'll see you tomorrow at BJ's Restaurant
in Brew and brew House on Beach Boulevard there in
Huntington Beach. John Cobel shows up next, and we will
literally see you tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Stop right. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Things you've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show,
you can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio 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 (00:10):
What You Watch on Wednesday comes up at the bottom
of the hour. We're going to talk about some shows.
You're gonna have to convince me. The show you're telling
me about, You're gonna have to convince me. But we'll
talk about it coming up at twelve thirty. I have
also found a show and it's a British show and
it's hard.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
I guess I was out of shows, which is why
I landed on the show that both of us rejected
last year.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
It has been a weird it's a dead time.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
It's a dead time. I've gotten things done. I've gotten
things done around the house. I'm working out more n
I'm reading my book. I'm not watching television in bed.
What's going on?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Are you eating? Still? Though? The writs and the ice
creams and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Has to constantly prop Garia about telling us how good
he is at whatever.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
I know, but it's never reciprocated.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I wonder why that is, well, because maybe I have
the self esteem issue and she doesn't.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
That was accurate.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
What else is going on? Time for what's happening?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Well, we've been mentioning this ever since the news broke
just about an hour ago, former LA Fire Department Chief
Kristin Crowley suing the city and the mayor. This goes
back to the fires and the fire response from January.
Mayer was out of town and came back to hell
fire in terms of public perception on her being out
of town when she knew the forecast. So it seemed
(01:44):
like a head needed to roll and LA Fire Department
Chief Kristin Crowley was that head, called out to the
carpet by Bass, who said she didn't do an after
action report, she didn't put enough firefighters on the line.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
All of it, and again most of it stemmed from
an interview the crowd did with Fox eleven about who
was responsible and did the city let down the departments?
Speaker 6 (02:06):
My job to stand up as a chief and exactly say,
justifiably what the fire department needs to operate to meet
the demands of the community.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Did they fail you?
Speaker 6 (02:17):
That is our job and I tell you that's why
I'm here. So let's get us what we need so
firefighters can do their jobs.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Did they fail you.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yes in the lawsuit or in the claim. The quote
is the lies, de seit, exaggerations and misrepresentations need to
be addressed with the only thing that can refute them,
the true facts. As firefighters, we run towards uncertainty and
are willing to risk it all. Doing the right thing,
even when it is hard, is always the right decision,
(02:47):
and Crowley rights. That is why I'm continuing to fight
for the resources our firefighters need to keep us all safe.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
West Hollywood has chosen to ban retail sales of nearly
all live animals. They had an existing ban on the
retail sale of dogs and cats that's been in effect
over a decade. So is this like a puppy stores
and things like that, like the designer Peppy.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Is this what it's trying to crack down on?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I guess I didn't know there were.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Listen, people that are rich are going to buy their
fancy animals, not in a storefront. There's numbers, there's a
network of people. How did you buy your fancy dogs?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
You know? Somebody?
Speaker 2 (03:24):
We had somebody who came in here who had who
had a Scottish terrier, and that's what we were looking for,
was a specific Scottish terrier.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Right, if somebody is going to buy an animal, but
through connections it was Yeah, it's not a store, right,
I mean you've seen the documentaries about the stores. Though
they're horrific, they're awful, the way these designer puppies are treated.
The chwell wasn't the like. But anyway, nearly all live animals.
What else was people? What else were people trying to buy?
Apparently reptiles, rabbits, rodents, hermit crabs, amphibians, arachnids, birds and
(03:58):
fish hermit Where am I supposed to buy a fish?
If I can't get it in the fish store? I
have I have a connection to buy a goldfish.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Go to the carnival. Probably I could go throw the
ping pong ball into the bowl and you.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Get the fish.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Awful, isn't it. They've got a day of outlawed that right,
this poor little cold.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Face Food and Drug Administration speaking of animals, investigating contamination
reports and frozen shrimp sold at Walmart.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
We should get a fish.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
We've done that before.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
We never have done a fish.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
I'd be fine with a fish.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
According to a press release from the FDA, they found
caesium one thirty seven, detected by Customs and Border Protection
and shipping containers that arrived in the ports of La Houston, Miami,
and Savannah, Georgia. Samples found the presence of the caesium
one thirty seven in a shipment of breaded shrimp, most
of it being sold in the South and the Midwest.
(04:53):
Please do not eat radioactive shrimp in that vein. We've
got the plague. The plague is made a comeback.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I'm assuming the shrimp, the bad shrimp, ends up with
gastro intestinal issues. I think that's how the plague starts,
right anyway, the plague. Yes, this is the same plague
that wiped out all those people in the sixteen hundreds
and in Europe.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
It's in Lake Tahoe, South Lake Tahoe.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Somebody went camping, got bit by an infected flea, and
now they have tested positive for the plague. Squirrels and
chipmunks carry these little uh, these little darlings. Let's see.
Symptoms include They happen within two weeks of exposure. They
include fever, nausea, weakness, swollen lymph nodes. Can take antibiotics
(05:41):
and you'll be fine. The plague is much more sexier
to say, than it actually.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Will kill you.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Swollen boobos?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
What's the swollen boobo?
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Isn't that what they call them? Isn't it the nodes
that get swollen?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Boobo?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
That's why they call it the boobonic plague.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Really, what a fun name?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Boobo? You could do at the Booboo knockoff and call
it bobo.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
You're reading my mind.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Disneyland Resort hotels are going to change their early theme
park entry program this if you were lucky enough to
have stayed in one of the hotels, they used to
allow you thirty minute early access before everybody else. You know,
the poors were allowed to go into Disneyland. So now instead,
starting January fifth of next year, if you have a
(06:29):
valid hotel reservation, you'll receive one complimentary lightning lane entry
for a lightning lane multi pass attraction during the day.
Not all of them have them, but you can almost
go check it out. Disneyland said the early entry program
was not widely used, which is strange because you get
in thirty minutes before everybody else does.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Why aren't they called the boobo nodes the boobo nodes
and not the in the lymph nodes Instead, boobos is
so much more fun to say.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Maybe somebody thought it was too fun and science can't
be fun. Oh maybe probably.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Boobos is what the guy who's fun at the end
of the bar says.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Hey, I boobo, guys.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
And boobo I need Can I get a shot and
the feel back?
Speaker 4 (07:17):
And oh, let me show you my boobos.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
I got a boobo for you.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
This boobo looks swollen to you.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
See fun.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Gary and Shannon will continue, will it? Unless somebody comes
running down the hallway and tells us? Once someone ran
it's been a while.
Speaker 7 (07:37):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KF
I am six forty.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
No, you don't, hi, guys. I just wanted to chime
in and say that I love Elmer's voice.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
It's great.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Love you guys, have a great day. Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
There you go. That's not the first time we've heard
that either.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Oh thanks stranger.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Yeah, hmm, you're right.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
I am okay fine.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I wanted to bring this to your attention. There was
a survey of doctors released today. This is from NBC News.
We've talked about, you know, web MD and all of
the pitfalls of googling whatever your ailment is and how
you are gonna it's going to lead you to think
you have cancer within three clicks.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
But apparently it's gone crazy. It's gone crazy.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
It's not just online, but also within the walls of
medical exam rooms where doctors and patients talk. Medical falsehoods
have become well like fake news. Really, that's what the
doctors are all saying, fake news. People become obsessed with
things on social media, whether it's skinny talk or it
(08:58):
is you know, different medical treatments for your face, different procedures,
what have you, and they just snowball, like one conversation
snowballs into a trend, snowballs into a truth, and it's
gotten peak crazy. According to the Physicians Foundation, sixty one
(09:18):
percent of doctors now say they've encountered patients influenced by
misinformation or disinformation over the past year. And yeah, if
you're going to get into it, some of it's political
as well.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I wonder if this is a I wonder how much
of an impact social media has on this, And obviously
it's it's it's significant, but I want to know how
significant because forty years ago, your grandma had a remedy
for everything. Yes, was it based in science, No, it
was based in trial and error, which.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
She put oil science.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
But oh is the oil of ola put that on everything?
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Or the I mean the silly remember from winds big
fat Greek wedding. Yeah, Chris Rock had the windex bit.
Well that was big fat Greek wedding. I thought, oh,
where the grandpa would drink windecks? Oh oh oh, Chris
Rocks was tousin. Yes, rub a little tussin on, rub.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
A little tussin on it. The overwhelming majority of physicians,
that's eighty six percent. So the incidents of the falsehoods
among patients increased over the last five years. Now, this
is something we cannot ignore how absolutely botched up the
public health community screwed everybody during COVID, but.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
It's been screwed up for years. Like the food pyramid
we grew up with. Good example is Belgoney.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
And when it came to a head at COVID, when
everybody looked to public health for clear, unadulterated scientific guidance,
we all got slapped around like children. I mean, we
were taken advantage of because so many people were afraid
of what was what we're told. We were told that
(11:02):
children were dying in the streets from this random bat flu.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
It wasn't just a fear.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
It was people using COVID for political gain and for power.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
It was a power grab.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
You can't tell me that Gavin Newsom didn't love everyone
running to their television at noon to hear what he
told you you could or couldn't do. He loved having
that godlike power. A lot of politicians did. They used
it for their own benefit. So there's that. There's the
social media knows more than your doctor. It's the politicians
(11:35):
no more than your doctor. And it's got to be
frustrating as hell to be a real doctor and to
put up with people coming in thinking that they know
better than you. So, of course, so how the food
pyramid that we had didn't say to eat bread like
all the time.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
All day. That was the bottoms of the peer.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Bread.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Yeah, as much bread as you can get, and we did.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Oh, we couldn't figure out why the eighties you.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Had bread adults have diabetes.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
You had bread with every meal.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I mean you had toast in the morning, you had
sandwich in the afternoon. You had bread at supper. Do
we say supper? Do I say supper.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
Now, holy hell, is that how we learn to love bread?
Speaker 4 (12:18):
They just forced it on us. Big Grain sold us
bread as being healthy.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
You know, and then we got pissed. There was anarchy.
There were riots in the street. When we went the
other way. They started making us pay for bread in
the restaurants. You want bread with your meal, you have
to pay six dollars for it.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Damn, my chuckle. It in Chinese meal.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
My mom will still do that. She'll get the bread.
And my mom doesn't even eat bread. But it's just
the sake. There are the principle of having the bread
on the table. Some places where the bread is necessary. Yeah,
you know all of guard. Here's a question though you
need the bread stick. You have diagnosed yourself with stage
kidney fail. I have left work because I thought my
(12:57):
kidneys were giving out.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Thought it was over.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I was it's my mind is so freaking powerful. And
I went into the whole of web MD and Oscar
said it. We were in the office and he's like,
you're going to give yourself cancer. Click click click Immediately I'm.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Out of here.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I totally remember calling Rob and our boss at the
time on the way I'm on the two ten I
remember I call her and I'm like, yeah, I left work.
I'm not going to be on the show today. And
she's like, okay, what's wrong. And I was like, I
think I have kidney failure. I'm going into the urgent care.
And she said to me in the most calm voice,
that is only reserved for the craziest of crazy people
(13:33):
that you're basically taking to their fifty one to fifty situation.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Oh, that sounds really scary, like she used.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
That tone, that verbiage, that's what you say to somebody
who's nearing us a break.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
And then men caught that line drive with soft hands.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
She did.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
It was masterful and it worked. In the moment. I
didn't even know what she was doing.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I was like, thank you, Yeah, okay, I'll let you
know bye, and I zoom into urgent.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I'll keep you on the list of my potential transplant donors.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
The woman at the urgent.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Care saw that line drive and she caught it, and
she threw it back at my head.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
She's like, what are you talking about.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
You basically looked at me like a dumb ass of
all dumb asses, Queen, dumb ass.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
You may not be the right person then to ask
the question, but how do you how do you keep
one foot in reality if you are looking up stuff
on the internet. I mean, because you're going to go
to a doctor and you're gonna say, oh, I saw
online that if I mix two cups of brown sugar,
(14:36):
some cayenne pepper, and lemon juice, it will replace uh,
it will replace my synthetic thyroid medication.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
That actually, that concoction will do a lot for you.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Okay, now this is but the doctor will will the
doctor catch that line drive with soft hands and say, actually,
it's not a great idea of it.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I'm glad you brought up my thyroid condition because I
was really out of commission at that time. When I
thought that I had late stage kidney failure it can
have a mess was having a very hormonal impact on
my thinking process. The idea of now having a pain
in my back which really just turned out to be
(15:16):
slight back pain and thinking it's kidney failure is bonkers
to me. I think that's insane. That's an insane person. Well,
that's how powerful the thyroid is. Check your thyroidchck your thyroids.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
And that is important because we have to be able
to find a way, especially with the amount of information
that's available to us online. How do you synthesize the
information that's available to you and make an accurate decision?
Or even this, how do you come up with the
(15:48):
right questions to ask your doctor? Your doctor's human too,
Your doctor is fallible. Your doctor can get things wrong,
hopefully not and hopefully if they have questions that they
ask their doctor, your friends or whatever. I mean, that's
the whole process of the scientific process is going to
be the trial and error. But is there a way
(16:11):
for us to do this and keep ourselves grounded in
reality and not go off the.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Deep end, not give ourselves And for some of us yes,
for some of us, never know. There are some people
who are always gonna jump to conclusions with their ailments.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
All right, what you watch on Wednesday when we come back,
do not forget that Tomorrow is our news and Bruce,
we're going to be live at BJ's Restaurant in brew
House on Beach Boulevard in Huntington Beach tomorrow. Stop buy
for your chance to win gift guards to BJ's. We
have some Gary and Shannon show swag along with Dodgers tickets, chargers, tickets,
(16:48):
Grab a pazuki, grab that deep dish pizza, grab a burger.
Have great steaks there as well. I mean the salads
are I mean, just eat everything. Just go there and
say I'll take one of everything and make it a large.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
My sister just texted me Watkins liniment oil and vix
Vapo vapo rub. Yeah, people probably have these things. That
works forever.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
I've never heard of Watkins, but that vix vapo rub
does it work. I can vex everything I've never met.
Latim mental latum was humongous in my house. You could
solve probably ninety percent of medical ailments with just a
quick swipe of mental atum somewhere on your body.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah, well, like Ben Gay, could I just rub that
everywhere you could?
Speaker 3 (17:32):
That worked for muscles, Probably gonna keep it away from
your eyes.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Another and culture. It's seven up and vapor rub. That
comba together will save anything.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
But you put seven up on your body.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Drink it. Oh okay, it's crazy, drink it. Dub Gary
and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 7 (17:51):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
It's gonna get warm the next couple of days. But
the bigger issue could potentially be monsoonal moisture that comes in.
There is a chance we see some thunderstorms beginning Friday,
which could bring lightning, winds, maybe even some localized flooding,
depend on how much moisture is in there.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Did you know it's a National Radio day?
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeep, yeah?
Speaker 4 (18:21):
How are you celebrating national radio?
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Did you see John COBALT's picture?
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Yeah? That how long?
Speaker 3 (18:27):
It's the best one.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Everyone's posting pictures of their radio career, and I love
them all, but John wins the day.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
How long ago was this? It says it's John's.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
First radio job in e back East in Canton, Pennsylvania,
working at one hundred point through WKADFM from nineteen eighty
three to nineteen eighty five.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
John, are you out there?
Speaker 3 (18:55):
He's not sounds like a lie anyway. Check it out.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
It's on his Instagram at John Cobalt Radio.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
That's a great picture.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
It's I mean, actual turntables, just the outfits, the glasses,
the hair, the whole bit.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
It's hard to it's hard to imagine that you're not
going to be there.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
That's the best part about looking at some of those
older pictures is the amount of equipment that existed in
an old radio studio.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Real equipment from the mid eighties, late eighties.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yeah, the least two turntables sometimes for you had real
to real machines. You had the cart machines. You did
not have computers. No, I did not have these stupid TVs.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
No.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
When I first got into radio, they had computers, but
it was very rudimentary. It was like the first computer
in your elementary school or my elementary school, from like
nineteen eighty five, right, And those were the computers and
the radio stations. They didn't have like the latest technolog
or programs or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
And it was that was the late nineties. There were
not song I mean, every song now is obviously digital.
Think about your Apple Music, Spotify, iHeart radio. Everything is digital.
You could have digital commercials back then when I started,
but you didn't have digital song It just would take
way too much space for them for you to record
a song digitally.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
I also remember.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
The extent of how advanced the computers where I told
the story before about when I met my wife, she
saw that I had a pager on my hip and
made a joke about me being a drug dealer. But
that was hooked up to our transmitter at the radio
station that I worked at, so that if the transmitter
ever went down, I could on a touchtone phone hit
the right combination of numbers and reboot the transmitter.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Wow, that's very cool.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Not cool, It is cool, like if you love radio
and the way it used to be. Yeah, you also
had a nice buggy that you.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Took to work with my horses, your donkeys, Yeah, my donkeys.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
You weren't fancy enough for horses riding as.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Riding as to Well, it's time for what you're watching Wednesday.
The following program is brought to you in living color,
but you're watching in that Americans love television. They win
their kids USA Television Mantabeta.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
You've been watching too many of those live television shows.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
What you're watching Wednesday brought to you by the Good
Feet Store.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
If you have hip or knee or back pain, you
might see if art supports can help you, go to
the Good Feet Store. Okay, tell me, you're gonna have
to convince me. Platonic. We watched a couple episodes. This
is a comedy Rose Byrne and Seth Rogan, and they
play guess what friends.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
The premise is this.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
They were friends twenty years ago, and she goes on,
she gets married, she has three kids, she's forty.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Ish, I want to say in the show. So he
is the same.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
He owns a brewery, kind of came up through bars
and stuff and ended up, you know, partners with a
couple guys and they own a brewery downtown LA. And
they were friends. They were the best of friends. He
was like the best man or the maid of honored
or wedding or what have you. And then he also
(22:22):
got married. And the reason that they start talking again
is because he's going through a divorce. He ends up
divorcing this woman. So she reaches out, like I should
reach out to my friend. It's been a long time,
and it's a falling out because she didn't like the
wife when they were dating and then soon to be married.
And so you know that if your wife, if you're
a dude and your wife doesn't like one of your
(22:45):
friends and it's a female, you're probably not going to
see her. You're probably not gonna see her that much.
Just just the way it is, the wives kind of make
the social calendar.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
That's just the way it works.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
And that's what happened here, and so now he's the
woman that didn't like Rose Burne, whose name I can't
remember in the show Sylvia, which is kind of a
funny plot point as well. Anyway, And so they pick
up their friendship again and they're great friends, and it
is funny and it's fun to watch somebody who's our
(23:17):
age ish and what that friendship looks like, especially because
we're all.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
In that same boat.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
You know, we had these great friends in our twenties,
and then people get busy with life and you move
on and you have kids and that's your priority, as
it should be, and then when you hang out again,
it's kind of cool. You regress a little bit. You
kind of kind of have to find your road about
how your friendship's going to look.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Twenty years later.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
And I gave up on it because I thought it
was going to be one of those obvious rom coms.
Rom coms where their friends and it's platonic, but it's
more and then they end up together. And I didn't
want to sign up for that because it's been done.
And when Harry met Sally can't be touched in my opinion,
so so so that's.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Why I gave up on it.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I thought I saw the writing on the wall, and
then I saw something about season two of Platonic, and
whatever I saw about it is they're still friends. They're
not that was never a thing, and I thought, I'm
going to give that show another chance, and so I did.
Because I had run out of the Internet, like I
had run out of shows to watch. I started watching
The Real Housewives of New York. But it's the vacation
(24:24):
one with the old Housewives, and I was like, I
got to find something new to watch. This is bottom
of the barrel stuff, and like it's like the Real
Housewives Vacation edition or something.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
I don't know. It was pretty bad.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
And so I'm watching Ramona, you know, for the for
the one hundredth year of my life, and I'm like,
I got to find something, and I bounce back to
Platonic and I loved it. And I'm like, episode six.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
The second season just came out a couple of weeks ago.
So there's ten episodes in season one. There's ten episodes
in season two, but the first I think it's four
episodes of the second season are out. Now there's some
strain and I can't figure out exactly who it is.
There's a strange Saturday Night Live connection to this because
a handful of the recurring cast members are Saturday Night
(25:08):
Live alums, oh, like Kyle Mooney and Adie Bryant, Beck Bennett.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
So I don't know, I don't.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
I don't recognize any of the other names like producers
or anything like that, or writers, but.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
I just have a listen.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I tried to watch Seth Rogan in the studio and
I got about five episodes in. Was choking that thing
down like it was a healthy meal, and I just
I couldn't. There's I don't know what it is about
Seth Rogan.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I get it too, I get it too, But I
really enjoy him in this show.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
I really do.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Agreed good. I watched it all.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Almar agrees with me.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
That's good. I like it when Almer agrees with you.
I don't like it when you guys fight in Santa Barbara.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
What I'm watching is on a TV up and it's
a show called Hudson and Wreck. Is that the dog
on that show? It's absolutely spectac It's really really good,
and it's all like from the Republican Doyle area of
Saint John's in Canada.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Oh check it out, Hudson and Rex and the dog
is a great actor apparently.
Speaker 7 (26:16):
So you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
We are in the midst of what you watch on
Wednesday talking about the shows that are on right now
that we've been checking out, are the ones that are
coming up. There's a couple of trailers that I've seen
that I'm excited for. Did you ever watch This would
not have been on your radar, but Fallout. Fallout was
based on a video game of the same name, post
apocalyptic but stuck in sort of a fifties vibe, sort
(26:46):
of the mid century modern era when it came to
design of cars and buildings and all that sort of stuff.
That's a really fantastic show and season two is coming
out in December. They just released the trailer for season two.
And then Terminal List. This is based on the Jack
Carr novels, and the Terminal List followed Chris Pratt as
(27:14):
the main character. The Terminal List was the first series,
and then The Terminalist Dark Wolf is the prequel series
and it's gonna star Taylor Kitsch, who, of course from
Friday Night Lights was what's his face was?
Speaker 4 (27:34):
What's his name?
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Taylor was the kid with the long hair. Yeah, it's
been a long time since I watched Friday Night Lights.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Make me look it up. I just said his name
the other day. But one of the reasons we said
his name is because he's not coming back to the
Friday Night Lights reboot that we're doing. But he was
in Friday Night Lights. His name was Ready, Tim Riggins,
Tim Reagans. Why didn't I know that?
Speaker 4 (28:03):
So so forgettable?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
We also fell into that what we thought was a
time without television shows, like without what we were so
we started watching on Apple TV. Chief of war Jason
Momoa wrote it, directed a couple of the scenes as
an executive producer in it.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
It's actually it's better than I thought it was going
to be.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
It's not filmed in Hawaii, unfortunately, but it's all about
It sounds like.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
An actor's passion project, which I always have a very
low bar for.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
It's you know I, and that's why I was afraid
of it. But it is done.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
You wanted to see that body though, Yeah, a lot
of a lot of cheeks in this one.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Yeah, that's it's great.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Is that A lot of traditional Hawaiian language, so there's
subtitles unless you happen to speak Hawaiian, but they're subtitles.
It reminded me of Showgun from FX, which was a
spectacular show once you get into it. But this one
is on Apple TV and it comes out I think
every Friday, so there's four episodes out.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
It's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
The other one that we started watching was Department Q
on Netflix.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
This is is this the reject superheroes that ruled the day?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
But that one called what It's like A But that's
an animated film, isn't it anyway?
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Sorry?
Speaker 2 (29:25):
This is a police officer who he and his partner
are ambushed in they're investigating a murder and they're ambushed
inside the scene of the murder, inside the house that
they go into, they're shot.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
They don't know who did it, they don't know why.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
The main character was hit in the neck and lived,
his partner was hit in the spine and is now paralyzed.
And then a third officer was killed, like a young
patrol officer was killed. So they're not only trying to
figure out it's kind of in the background the investigation
into who shot them.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
But he he has started his own.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Cold case unit, and they're investigating the missing or the
disappearance of a former prosecutor.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Sounds like it's an inside job.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Well, they're alluding to some things early on in this
in this show that make you do think that they're
obviously they're going to be connected.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
They wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
They wouldn't put both of them in there if they
weren't connected. But it's it's one of those shows that
is somewhat hard to follow because the accents gets so thick.
Oh yes, they're speaking English. I think I like a
fourth grade watching level. That's what I like.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
I think my close captions to be cartoon characters. Yeah,
we've got a big day tomorrow. Tomorrow, let's come see us.
It's going to be nothing but fun. We promise you fun.
We can promise fun. We are fun. Bejays on Beach
Boulevard and Huntington Beach. It is our news and bruise
for the summer. We had to wait for it to
get hot for us to get out there. And guess what,
Tomorrow's gonna be the hottest day of the summer. So
(30:57):
come to the beach with us. We are going to
be giving away Dodgers tickets, Chargers tickets, you get a
chance for a Bjay's gift card. It's gonna be a
great time. Gary's wearing a new shirt. His feet might
come out, I don't know, out of my shirt. Oh,
that'd be interesting, It would be very interesting.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I don't think so. I do not think I could
do that. Also, extra points if you bring friends. I
don't know what the points go towards, but to extra points. Yeah,
all right, So we'll see you tomorrow at BJ's Restaurant
in Brew and brew House on Beach Boulevard there in
Huntington Beach. John Cobel shows up next, and we will
