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):
President Trump said he spoke with Vladimir Putin, said that
the Russian leader told him very strongly that he will
respond to Ukraine's weekend drone attack on Russian airfields. Today,
President Trump says he spoke with President Shi of China
for about ninety minutes. Trade was the most common thing
that they talked about.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
More importantly, the Nintendo switch to has finally hit store
shelves today today, today, eight years after switch one, four
hundred and fifty dollars is a price tag on this one.
People lined up outside of stores to pick up pre
orders or have a chance to buy the device. I
mean months of anticipation. There was a lot of pre
(00:50):
order issues. He cups fears that tariffs would delay the
release of the switch to.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
We've talked about the Shawn did he Combe's trial and
the suggestion by some people, including Shug Knight, that Donald
Trump would pardon Sean did he Combs.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
If you convinced that is just a headline to make
Trump look even crazier that he would pardon it.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Somebody think about something this level of an abuser.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Some old comments actually resurfaced by Fitty Cent, who is
no fan of Diddy and wants to make sure that
Trump does not pardon him if he's convicted. Fitty Sent
posted on Twitter the statement from Diddy quote, if Trump
gets elected, I really do believe in my heart there
will be a race war. He said this in twenty
twenty when he was campaigning for Joe Biden. At the time,
(01:43):
he said, this message is not just to black people.
This message is to everybody. This man he's referring to
Trump is really trying to turn us against each other
and put us in a situation America's messed up. And
did He added that white men like Trump need to
be banished now again. Sent is the one who resurfaced
these comments in an attempt to make sure that Trump
(02:04):
does not pardon did he.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I don't see that happening. I mean times a million,
I don't see that happening. I don't mean to make
light of it. That would be insane, insane. Okay, So
there was this woman's ex husband who planned to follow
her on vacation, but he ran into an issue with
his passport that he did not expect she did. The
(02:29):
reason we're hearing about this is because this woman, she's
a mother of two, shared her story on Reddit's popular forum,
am I.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
The a Hole.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
She retold the story of how her ex tried to
crash an international trip she had planned with their kids.
She claims she and her former husband had this messy
divorce two years before the incident. He had had an
affair after the birth of their second child. She says
he fought me every step, took over a year to
finalize this. He gained primary custody of the children, but
(03:03):
that she still needs her exes permission to bring them
out of the country.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
As everybody knows.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
So she's planning to travel abroad to visit some family
take the kid's eight year old boy five year old girl,
and she told her ex that she wanted to go
on the trip. She claims that he said he always
wanted to visit her family's country and was coincidentally planning
to go at that same time. Now, this woman says
she was to anticipating it. They got all of the
(03:30):
documentation ready to go, including a document drafted by a lawyer,
signed and notarized that she it does have permission to
take the kids out of the country for those specific dates,
and that he would have up to seventy two hours
beforehand to revoke the permission, and he agreed, so the
day of the trip, she shows up at the airport
with her kids, while her former spouse got there much later,
(03:53):
only to find out upon trying to check in for
the flight that his passport had been revoked. He was
completely stunned by that she was not. Now as a
result of the divorce, he was ordered to pay child support,
which he has never done again. This is her claim,
(04:14):
and she explains that she signed up for enforcement so
she doesn't have to badger him about it. But he's
so far behind that they suspended quote, just about everything
they can, and one of those things would be turns
out the passport was revoked due to a lack of
child support payment, so he's denied when he's trying to
check in for his flight.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
My question is, why is she worried that she is
the a hole this guy's trying to hone in.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
No no, no, no, oh no no no no. People ask
these questions to prove they know she knows she's not
the a hole. Oh, she's just putting it in a
forum like that so people can praise her for her work.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I don't blame her at all.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
She is not the a hole in the If this
guy's been ordered to pay child support and he hasn't,
even if he doesn't like it, he's the a hole
in all.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, I mean him crashing the trip with the a
And I understand you want to be with your kids,
you want to go on the trip, and you want
to make it. It's just so messy, isn't it When
love goes wrong Like it's just and there's children involved,
and what a freaking dramatic hurricane of mess that is
for them.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Well, and when he figures out that he can't go,
one of the things that he tries to do immediately
is revoke his permission for the trip, because remember she's
got to have his permission to take the kids out
of the country. But the way the document was written up,
he had seventy two hours up to seventy two hours
before the trip to revoke it.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
He never did. While they're basically in the airport ready
to take off.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Is when he tries to invoke his his right.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I have a question, is her going on Reddit and
asking the question and laying out this big mess. Does
that qualify her to be under the umbrella of a
whole as well?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Yeah, that's why I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I think the the bigger a hole move is posting
it and telling the story so that you look or
anti hero.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Maybe good Lord, I don't know that's the bigger a
hole move. Do you have a crazy X? I don't.
I don't think I have a lot that were that
were crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I had people that would constantly call, but like Elmer,
But other than that.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
You still have they still call still? Yeah, No, they
gave up. They gave up Coule years ago.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I think my twentieth wedding anniversary was when it was
the last time I got a call from an next girlfriend.
Yeah that's not a true statement, but I just thought
it would be a funny story. So what do you
do when they would keep calling? Well, in the old days,
I didn't know who was calling. Ah, yeah, so I
would have to pick up the phone and then be like, uh,
(06:55):
you caught me a bad time.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
What do you say? Diarrhea? Diarrhea and the diarrhea, Like
you said, there's no follow up question.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Now you come to the table with diarrhea, and no
one's going to ask you anything else.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Here's the funny thing about the diary. The thing, Uh
someone asks if someone says you had food poisoning, right,
if that comes up, the next question is always what
did you eat?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah? Why does it matter?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Because they don't want to eat whatever you eat. It's curious.
It's a survival thing. It's like, you know, my husband
ate bad oysters one time in Seattle, got food poisoning.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Uh, so you know, I steer clear. I don't want that.
I like oysters. They're fun.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
They taste good with champagne, but I don't like them
enough to.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Be on the toilet for three days.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Right, And I think the champagne tastes good. Yeah, not
the oyster.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I think you're not. There's no com that goes. I
was just looking for a vehicle. Hey, let's get some oysters.
Oh and some champagne.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I'm having oysters without champagne. Sounds awful.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yeah, that's a really good get out of here. What
is your crazy X story? Let us know. On the
talkback feature on the iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
You could send us a quick message and you can
tell us exactly what it is that happened in your
crazy X life.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
So Hey Gary, Hey, Shannon Tyler from Las Vegas, originally
from California. Anyway, story of my crazy X. My crazy
X tried to kill me one night. We were on
the jacuzzi drinking vodka, having a good time. Next thing
I know, I'm waking up. It's the next day. All
my stuff's gone. I find out to put zad X
in my vodka, try to let me drown, and stole
(08:38):
my things. Example of a crazy X. Have a good day?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Did you phone that in? Like that's reportable?
Speaker 6 (08:47):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
That was Elmer.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
All right, we'll talk about these as we continue. Also,
a former football player stands up in church and demand
to answer some questions about the porn.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Long snappers are very religious in my experience.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Really this guy position? Huh, Well, I.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Mean there's a lot of religious people in the football field,
but this guy had a real problem with his church.
Fascinating story to tell you about.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Why are you shaking your head?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Didn't we just talk about this the other week or
just the other day. Where you have to be careful
about the animal stories that you do.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I used to have to be careful. I see excellent point. No,
I have not heard the story about that. Well, it
takes a turn. It wasn't a beaver. What that was?
Pretty innocuous.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Story about x rams Alon long snapper Jake McQuaid is
in the news.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Did right Jake McQuaid played on three different teams in
one season?
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Did he?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
That's what I think. The TV report I saw from
the local TV station in Ohio.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
The name didn't ring a bell for me.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Long Snappers go without a lot of pomp and circumstance
for the most part in the NFL, so it's not odd.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
But I think this story would make the news even
if he did.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Not play in the NFL, because it's pretty disruptive what happened.
Jake McQuaid is of whatmer Rams, two time Pro Bowl
long snapper, very good at what he does and that's
very hard to do.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
By the way, Rams, when they were in Saint Louis,
that's when he started with them, and then came with
them out here to La, played for the Cowboys, the Lions,
and then last season played for the Bears, the Vikings
and the Dolphins.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
So, yeah, he's been he's a journeyman. He's been in
the NFL fourteen seasons or was. So he's church in Ohio,
Catholic Church, and during the mass, he gets up and
snaps at the chancellor of the Cincinnati Archdiocese, guy by
(11:15):
the name of Jason Williams. He had an issue because
there was a rumor that two priests had viewed pornography
on a church computer.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
He was adamant that they come forward. I mean, he
seems to think that this was a definite occurrence, that
it actually happened.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
He said, we want to put these rumors to rest.
Can you answer this for me? Fact or fiction? Did
these priests look at porn on our church computer? According
to that video, it's pretty hard to hear. When someone
at the altar told him this is not the time
for this, he responds by shouting, I'm sorry, sir, this
is the time and place I will stand up. Did
(12:07):
the priest use our parish computer to look at pornography?
True or false? He was, by the way, removed from
the church by the police.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
So for some reason, the beginning of that television report
starts with that notification that information I should say that
the entire police force was hired to do security at
these weekend at these weekend masses.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Archdiocese hired Green Township Police to be present at weekend masses.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Here at our Lady of Visitation where the Chancellor spoke
about recent allegations.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Now you mentioned the chancellor, Chancellor Williams, was reading a
letter from Archbishop Robert Casey to our Lady of Visitation
congregation that said that those rumors and again the rumor
was that two priests were looking at porn on one
of the computers. The rumors were investigated and no wrongdoing,
either criminally or ecclesiastically had been substantiated. I don't think
(13:06):
I've ever read that word ecclesiastically.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
The letter also said that one of the priests was
taking a previously planned sabbatical. The letter went on to say,
like gossip, the spreading of rumors is sinful and we
should all work to overcome this tendency of our fallen
human nature, just.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Like the Catholics.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
To shame you in the email responding to any sort
of wrongdoing on the church's behalf, and shame on you
for gossiping. Ow dare you're hail Mary's and three our fathers.
I didn't read this is where this guy's from. I
guess this is sort of hometown.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Two of the Green Township police officers escorted him from
the church, but he was not charged with anything.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
He was going through something. He sounds pretty he may be.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
He may just be pissed off at the church.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I mean, I mean, it's it's if there is a
rumor that exists, it's within your.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
It's within your right, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
And I mean his point about you know what, he
was told, this is not the time of the place.
If you got something like that going on, Yeah, that
is the time in the place.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
It's always the time of the place. Yeah, we're talking
about crazy x'es.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Oh boy, do I have an crazy X story for you,
And it relates to KFI. Oh has to do with
a former host. All right, love yours. She was so jealous.
She that if I went to the grocery store and
I took ten minutes too long, she would have me
take a photo of where I was to prove that
(14:39):
I was actually in traffic waiting to get back home.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Okay, sane, stop it right there, quick, gas go around.
Who is the kfive female host?
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Who is crazy. It's going to narrow it down quite
a bit. Okay, well, let's see we've got.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Gosh, I'm not saying anybody's just so you know, I'm
not going to say anybody's name.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, if she's that crazy, I don't want to yea.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Yeah, you're right, you're right. But I've got a good idea.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Are you going to write it down?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
You haven't welcome to work, But here I'll do I'll
do hands. Oh really, Oh wait a minute, that one
I started writing the same one. Yes.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
All I had to do was this is what we're
talking about?
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Right?
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:35):
No, no, ye okay, I could totally see that, right.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
It is a very distinct possibility, which is funny because
of the way that she no longer works here, kind
of got caught doing the same thing.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I did see her interviewed recently on a different podcast.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Oh wait, they're crazy one that got let go for that.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
There were a couple there were same lane though. Yeah,
I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Wait am I like that too? I'm not going to
look at you when you figure that out.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I say this, when you have a story about a
crazy ax, let us know what it is. Use the
talkback feature on the iHeart app and send us a
message and tell us how you knew your ex was crazy?
Speaker 3 (16:20):
What stop looking at me? Are we all crazy?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
There's a reason why they keep us far away from
everyone else in the building.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Do you ever think about that? No, Gary and Channon
will continue in just a moment.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
President Donald Trump says his first conversation with Chinese leader
Shijen Ping since returning to the White House at a
very positive conclusion, announcing the two countries will hold trade
talks in hopes of breaking this deadlock over tariff's. Chinese
Foreign Ministry says she asked Trump on today's call to
remove the negative measures the US has taken against China.
(17:08):
The discussion followed Trump suggesting yesterday on social media it
was tough to reach a deal with she They've been
at a stalemate since May twelfth.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
An update out of New York in the Shandette Combs trial,
the judge there has worn the defense table that Colmbs
could be kicked out of the courtroom if he continues
to attempt to interact with the jury. The judge said
he saw Colmbs on two different occasions looking at the
jury and nodding vigorously. The judge said he already warned
(17:44):
the defense that he can't make any facial expressions or
attempt to have any interaction with or influence the jury.
The judge said in court today, I could not have
been any clearer in terms of what I said. There
was a line of questioning when your client was nodding
vigorously and looking at the jury. The judge said he
saw him doing it a second time. Said, I looked,
and I saw your client looking at the jury and
(18:04):
nodding vigorously. It's absolutely unacceptable, asked the defense attorney. Is
it going to happen again? And then told him it
cannot happen again. And if it does, the judge says,
he'll let the government make an application to give the
jury an instruction on the issue and will consider severe measures,
which could mean kicking him out of the courtroom altogether.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
We've got a story, a manhunt that continues. I'm sure
you've heard this story. It's made its way around the headlines.
This is for a father. Police say he killed his
three young daughters near a campground. His name is Travis Decker,
and this happened in Washington. The officials say he could
be anywhere within the country. He's thirty two and the
(18:52):
kids were nine.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Eight and five.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Three little girls killed after they left home for this
planned visitation with dad on Friday at five pm. It
was about three pm on Monday that officials found this
guy's vehicle unoccupied in Shaling, Shelan County. There Rock Island
Campground and the bodies were found as well, so the
(19:17):
vehicle and the bodies of the girls. Plastic bags over
the heads of each girl's wrists zip tied. They found
around the vehicle other zip ties and plastic bags. Tailgate
of the truck had what appeared to be two handprints of.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Blood on it.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
The Shelane County Sheriff Mike Morrison hellline news conference last night.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
This is not the outcome we wanted to see. We
were hoping that we could find Travis today, but we
are feeling optimistic thanks to our Marshall's department that has
come through and track down some good leads that we
feel are giving us more of an insight into Travis's mindset,
or he may have not gone or may have gone to.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
See The problem is this is one of those big
wilderness guys, saying that he has the ability and the
knowledge to probably survive in those hills to the west
of Shelan for a long time if he wanted to.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah, he has gone off the grid for up to
two and a half months, according to family members. This
is a guy who was deployed to Afghanistan in twenty
fourteen while on active duty in the Army. Transferred to
the Washington National Guard in twenty twenty one from the
active component. Preparations for an administration separation began in twenty
twenty three or last year, but the process has not
(20:30):
officially started and he remains in the Washington National Guard.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
How in the world does a guy get planned visitations
if he's homeless.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yeah, he was homeless and living in his vehicle or
at various motels or campgrounds in the area. Also wanted, Well,
he's wanted in connection with it, currently wanted for three
counts of a first degree murder for his girls. But yeah,
that's a real I guess he was granted the visitation
(21:04):
before he was homeless. It can be a very lengthy
process to have any of those orders amended. I think
family Court.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
What a mess.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
This planned visitation was supposed to start at five o'clock
on Friday night, and Whitney Decker, the ex wife mother
of the girls, contacted police saying that he did pick
up the girls at five o'clock Friday night, but did
not return by ten o'clock, and said that she had
tried to call her ex husband multiple times but.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
His voice or cell phone was going straight to voicemail.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
And the mom said she was concerned because he had
never done this before. I'd never gone outside the parameters
of the visitation rules.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
But definitely some mental health issues that she knew about.
They were married for seven years. They had been nothing
that I'm saying any of this is her fault. It's
not absolutely, but there were signs. I guess I should say.
They had been married for seven years, divorced for several years.
She recalled moments in their marriage where he would wake
her up by screaming at her in the middle of
(22:06):
the night, randomly leaving. Towards the end of the marriage,
he was diagnosed with a borderline personality disorder that he
does not take meds for.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
That's awful, and like you said, he could be anywhere
in the country. They do not know if he's armed,
but he spent several years in the military. He was
deployed to Afghanistan in twenty fourteen in the Army, transferred
to the Washington National Guard in twenty one from the
active component, and they said they were preparing for an
administrative separation recently within the last year or two, but
(22:42):
that process hadn't officially started, so he's technically still a
member of the Washington National Guard. They've put out a
reward for information, and of course they're working with FBI,
Homeland Security and the Marshall's office to try to find him.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
They've also released a ring doorbell footage. He's in a
light colored T shirt, dark shorts in the days leading
up to the visitation with the with the girls nine
eight and five.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Again their ages go tea and.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
A mustache, long hair pulled back, So they're trying to
get that image out to the public that he does
have extensive military training and obviously a propensity for violence.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
All right, well, well we'll perk it up a little
happier story. We have some good animal stories we're going
to be getting into. And also next hour right after
swamp Watch we'll jump into some of our crazy X stories.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
How did you know that your ex was crazy? We
have some of those. Oh yeah, we got a bund.
There's crazy xes out there.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
There are crazy crazy and I would love it if
you admitted that you were a crazy ex.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
I was never a crazy not you. I just mean
in New York, you know. I mean, there's still time,
There's still time. Your husband is a lucky man. For now.
For now, Gary and Channon will continue.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Just to wet your beak a little bit, we're taking
your talkbacks about crazy exes.
Speaker 8 (24:10):
Hey, Gary and Shannon. I had a girlfriend in high
school and she would come to my house after I
told her we broke up and I didn't want to
see her, and she would break into my truck. She
somehow knew how to unlock my car and get into
my truck, and then she would say, she's in my
truck waiting for me, and she would sit in the
back of the truck until she would talk to me.
(24:31):
And then she would sit there and just stare at
me and talk to me and try to convince me
to stay with her.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Yeah, whoa, that's always a good anytime someone's waiting for
you in the backseat of your car, that's not good.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
And then just does the not especially if you know
I'm blinking stare. Yeah, oh you know, I'm good for you. Yeah,
you know. It's like a few good men stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Why are you fighting it? I won't be ignored. It's
time for our animal round us.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Okay, so this is a great story. No, it's so
it's so awful we can't play it.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
How many do you have? How many do I have?
Animal sounds? Name an animal? An eel? Nailed it? How
about a orangutang? How about a sloth?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
How about a sting ray?
Speaker 3 (25:35):
What a sting ray? They don't make noises? They don't
know all those other animals make noise? Okay, what about
roost cock? A doodle? Do we got to do it?
I did? Yes, I did about six in the morning.
Got sick of that game real quick.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
A couple of men in a harbor in southern England
noticed what they thought was a kind of swimming, funny
struggling struggling through the rough waters of this natural harbor there,
and as their boat got closer, they realized that's not
a seal, Why that's a little doll. Gary Bennett, captain
(26:19):
of the sixty foot ferry Transports transports oil workers to
a nearby island, says, I.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Was absolutely gobsmacked. You don't see a dog swimming in
the main shipping channels.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Ever, the puppy swam toward the boat and men drop
a ladder into the water.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Dog grips the ladder with her.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Paws, and then Ethan Grant, one of the trainee skippers,
jumps into the harbor to haul the dog aboard.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
She fell in landed on me. She literally called up
in a bowl and me lap and was so scared.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
They covered the dog and blankets, gave her food and water,
posting photos of her on social media, and within a
few hours one person recognized the dog as Amber, a
five year old retriever who had been missing for more
than a month after taking off from her foster home
in New Forest, about thirty miles from the harbor.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
They said, in the thirty six days since she went missing,
Amber covered about one hundred miles. The rescue group Angel
KOs Angel's Rescue had recently rescued Amber spent more than
a month searching desperately for her. Amber was living on
the streets of caught her for the first two months
of her life.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
That's rough.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
She spent the next five years, it says a Nikatari shelter.
But I thought they said that Amber, oh a five
year old. I thought it was five months old. You're right,
let's see. Sam Collins, runs the rescue says she was
found with five other siblings and they were all in
very bad way, to the point where two of her
siblings actually didn't make it. Oh yeah, we like to
(27:55):
take dogs in that are forgotten about. We found her
a brilliant foster home she could get adopted.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
The accent kind of softened the blow of the dead dogs.
I tried, That's why I did.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Yeah, well, that's lovely. Are they going to keep her
on the boat? She gonna be a boat dog?
Speaker 6 (28:12):
No.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
The most amazing thing is somehow they said this dog again.
Sam Collins, who runs the rescue group, said, the morning
after Amber's first night in the foster home, she was
out in the garden and somehow cleared in eight foot things.
They could see her in the field behind the house,
so they went over there to see if they could
catch her.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
As soon as she saw them. She just ran. Every
time somebody sighted her, she just molted. Do you want
to hear about the friendly beaver? That's no beaver? It wasn't.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
A woman vacationing in Europe thought she had captured a
cute encounter with a friendly beaver on camera.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
No beaver.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
She encounters this beaver, the beaver appears friendly, so she
whips out her phone.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Even I can tell that that's not a beaver.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Why do you think that you are more adept at
deciding what is a beaver and what is not.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I've seen beavers in the wild. Yes, that, ma'am, is
no beaver. What if it was a.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Beaver that you didn't even know about yet, like a
beaver that you've never seen before, you know there are.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Beaver's a pretty telltale like you see when you're like,
I know exactly what that is.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Niece Sharma is her name. She is from Manchester, England
to England and she she was.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
In Prague and.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I traveled to Prague for a trip to explore the
city a bit more as I've been a few times,
but I'd never walked down near the river banks. This
time I decided to take walk down the river banks
up to the water and saw the animal coming close
to the rocks where people can stand.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
She assumed she was encountering a friendly beaver.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
I assumed it was a beaver, as to me, it
looks pretty similar. I don't know much about beavers apart
from I don't know much about beavers apart from that
they live in rivers.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
She then explains what she did next.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
I thought, since it was a beaver, that we might
could feed it, although I'd never seen a beaver in
real life. What do you feed a beaver? Although I'd
never seen a beaver in real life before, they're often
portrayed as friendly in the media. So I started feeding
it some sandwiches.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
I mean, you would think that a beaver would be
partial to nuts, right, because you'd feed it.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
You'd feed a beaver like you'd feed a squirrel. I
would assume. I don't know the answer to that. Well,
what would you feed a squirrel nuts?
Speaker 8 (30:47):
Right?
Speaker 3 (30:49):
So I mean I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
I mean, I guess a beaver will eat anything like
it'll eat It'll eat a sandwich. I mean a squirrel
would probably eat a sandwich, She said, Do you think
a squirrel would eat a sandwich. It take a while,
a lot of stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
It wasn't until a few weeks later that I discovered
that it wasn't a beaver. When I showed my parents
the video and they corrected me.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
It was a nutria, you know, those big ass rats. Essentially,
that's not a beaver. You can tell the difference between
a Newtrie and a beaver.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
I thought it was hilarious that I was showing off
having fed a beaver to my family, just to find
out that it's actually what the Czech people call a
river rat.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
You're also not supposed to feed no beavers, they are squirrels.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Jackass who speaking of animals? And then the cockatoos. Have
you heard about the cockatoos?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Is this also in England? This is in Sydney, Oh, Australia? Yeah,
all right, okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Each night around sundown, Cockatoos and Western Sydney gather for
a ritual. They they wait in line on a fence
and then they take turns at a drinking fountain that's
right there, Roy. They grip the handle with their feet
and they lean forward to release a bubbling stream of
(32:15):
cool water. This requires strength, motor skills, innovation, it's been
documented for the first time. Researchers say it constitutes a
new urban adapted local tradition. The no that these that
these birds have evolved to.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Use a drinking fountain because they live in the city. Good,
NOI is there anything? Are they laughing at that? I
hope they're not laughing at that.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
I hope you guys are laughing at something very funny
in the other room. The sulfur crested cockatoos, by the way,
are very social.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
They're very social.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
The parrots, white bodies, yellow crests, and they're all over
the place in Sydney.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
And now they're all over our water fountain.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
They also know to open the bins in the city
south area, the southeast, the Southeast cockatoos, they know.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
How to open up the trash bins. I mean, I
don't think this is really evolution though.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
I mean for animals to find a way to use
a water fountain or get into the trash bin, that's
kind of what they do. They need food and water
and they're gonna find it. They're not dumbasses like that
woman with the beaver.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Good. No, all right, well we come back.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
The beef between the President and chijin Ping is their
ice that is melting in this chili relationship. Also, Elon
Musk is going of full tilt when it comes to
this big, beautiful bill, and the President continues to respond
to the criticism. We'll get into that as well right
here on Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show. You
can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty
nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday, and
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand

Speaker 2 (00:09):
President Trump said he spoke with Vladimir Putin, said that
the Russian leader told him very strongly that he will
respond to Ukraine's weekend drone attack on Russian airfields. Today,
President Trump says he spoke with President Shi of China
for about ninety minutes. Trade was the most common thing
that they talked about.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
More importantly, the Nintendo switch to has finally hit store
shelves today today, today, eight years after switch one, four
hundred and fifty dollars is a price tag on this one.
People lined up outside of stores to pick up pre
orders or have a chance to buy the device. I
mean months of anticipation. There was a lot of pre
(00:50):
order issues. He cups fears that tariffs would delay the
release of the switch to.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
We've talked about the Shawn did he Combe's trial and
the suggestion by some people, including Shug Knight, that Donald
Trump would pardon Sean did he Combs.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
If you convinced that is just a headline to make
Trump look even crazier that he would pardon it.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Somebody think about something this level of an abuser.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Some old comments actually resurfaced by Fitty Cent, who is
no fan of Diddy and wants to make sure that
Trump does not pardon him if he's convicted. Fitty Sent
posted on Twitter the statement from Diddy quote, if Trump
gets elected, I really do believe in my heart there
will be a race war. He said this in twenty
twenty when he was campaigning for Joe Biden. At the time,
(01:43):
he said, this message is not just to black people.
This message is to everybody. This man he's referring to
Trump is really trying to turn us against each other
and put us in a situation America's messed up. And
did He added that white men like Trump need to
be banished now again. Sent is the one who resurfaced
these comments in an attempt to make sure that Trump
(02:04):
does not pardon did he.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I don't see that happening. I mean times a million,
I don't see that happening. I don't mean to make
light of it. That would be insane, insane. Okay, So
there was this woman's ex husband who planned to follow
her on vacation, but he ran into an issue with
his passport that he did not expect she did. The
(02:29):
reason we're hearing about this is because this woman, she's
a mother of two, shared her story on Reddit's popular forum,
am I.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
The a Hole.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
She retold the story of how her ex tried to
crash an international trip she had planned with their kids.
She claims she and her former husband had this messy
divorce two years before the incident. He had had an
affair after the birth of their second child. She says
he fought me every step, took over a year to
finalize this. He gained primary custody of the children, but
(03:03):
that she still needs her exes permission to bring them
out of the country.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
As everybody knows.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
So she's planning to travel abroad to visit some family
take the kid's eight year old boy five year old girl,
and she told her ex that she wanted to go
on the trip. She claims that he said he always
wanted to visit her family's country and was coincidentally planning
to go at that same time. Now, this woman says
she was to anticipating it. They got all of the
(03:30):
documentation ready to go, including a document drafted by a lawyer,
signed and notarized that she it does have permission to
take the kids out of the country for those specific dates,
and that he would have up to seventy two hours
beforehand to revoke the permission, and he agreed, so the
day of the trip, she shows up at the airport
with her kids, while her former spouse got there much later,
(03:53):
only to find out upon trying to check in for
the flight that his passport had been revoked. He was
completely stunned by that she was not. Now as a
result of the divorce, he was ordered to pay child support,
which he has never done again. This is her claim,
(04:14):
and she explains that she signed up for enforcement so
she doesn't have to badger him about it. But he's
so far behind that they suspended quote, just about everything
they can, and one of those things would be turns
out the passport was revoked due to a lack of
child support payment, so he's denied when he's trying to
check in for his flight.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
My question is, why is she worried that she is
the a hole this guy's trying to hone in.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
No no, no, no, oh no no no no. People ask
these questions to prove they know she knows she's not
the a hole. Oh, she's just putting it in a
forum like that so people can praise her for her work.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
I don't blame her at all.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
She is not the a hole in the If this
guy's been ordered to pay child support and he hasn't,
even if he doesn't like it, he's the a hole
in all.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, I mean him crashing the trip with the a
And I understand you want to be with your kids,
you want to go on the trip, and you want
to make it. It's just so messy, isn't it When
love goes wrong Like it's just and there's children involved,
and what a freaking dramatic hurricane of mess that is
for them.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Well, and when he figures out that he can't go,
one of the things that he tries to do immediately
is revoke his permission for the trip, because remember she's
got to have his permission to take the kids out
of the country. But the way the document was written up,
he had seventy two hours up to seventy two hours
before the trip to revoke it.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
He never did. While they're basically in the airport ready
to take off.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Is when he tries to invoke his his right.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I have a question, is her going on Reddit and
asking the question and laying out this big mess. Does
that qualify her to be under the umbrella of a
whole as well?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Yeah, that's why I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I think the the bigger a hole move is posting
it and telling the story so that you look or
anti hero.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Maybe good Lord, I don't know that's the bigger a
hole move. Do you have a crazy X? I don't.
I don't think I have a lot that were that
were crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
I had people that would constantly call, but like Elmer,
But other than that.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
You still have they still call still? Yeah, No, they
gave up. They gave up Coule years ago.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I think my twentieth wedding anniversary was when it was
the last time I got a call from an next girlfriend.
Yeah that's not a true statement, but I just thought
it would be a funny story. So what do you
do when they would keep calling? Well, in the old days,
I didn't know who was calling. Ah, yeah, so I
would have to pick up the phone and then be like, uh,
(06:55):
you caught me a bad time.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
What do you say? Diarrhea? Diarrhea and the diarrhea, Like
you said, there's no follow up question.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Now you come to the table with diarrhea, and no
one's going to ask you anything else.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Here's the funny thing about the diary. The thing, Uh
someone asks if someone says you had food poisoning, right,
if that comes up, the next question is always what
did you eat?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah? Why does it matter?
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Because they don't want to eat whatever you eat. It's curious.
It's a survival thing. It's like, you know, my husband
ate bad oysters one time in Seattle, got food poisoning.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Uh, so you know, I steer clear. I don't want that.
I like oysters. They're fun.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
They taste good with champagne, but I don't like them
enough to.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Be on the toilet for three days.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Right, And I think the champagne tastes good. Yeah, not
the oyster.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I think you're not. There's no com that goes. I
was just looking for a vehicle. Hey, let's get some oysters.
Oh and some champagne.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I'm having oysters without champagne. Sounds awful.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yeah, that's a really good get out of here. What
is your crazy X story? Let us know. On the
talkback feature on the iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
You could send us a quick message and you can
tell us exactly what it is that happened in your
crazy X life.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
So Hey Gary, Hey, Shannon Tyler from Las Vegas, originally
from California. Anyway, story of my crazy X. My crazy
X tried to kill me one night. We were on
the jacuzzi drinking vodka, having a good time. Next thing
I know, I'm waking up. It's the next day. All
my stuff's gone. I find out to put zad X
in my vodka, try to let me drown, and stole
(08:38):
my things. Example of a crazy X. Have a good day?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Did you phone that in? Like that's reportable?
Speaker 6 (08:47):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
That was Elmer.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
All right, we'll talk about these as we continue. Also,
a former football player stands up in church and demand
to answer some questions about the porn.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Long snappers are very religious in my experience.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Really this guy position? Huh, Well, I.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Mean there's a lot of religious people in the football field,
but this guy had a real problem with his church.
Fascinating story to tell you about.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Why are you shaking your head?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Didn't we just talk about this the other week or
just the other day. Where you have to be careful
about the animal stories that you do.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
I used to have to be careful. I see excellent point. No,
I have not heard the story about that. Well, it
takes a turn. It wasn't a beaver. What that was?
Pretty innocuous.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Story about x rams Alon long snapper Jake McQuaid is
in the news.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Did right Jake McQuaid played on three different teams in
one season?
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Did he?
Speaker 2 (10:08):
That's what I think. The TV report I saw from
the local TV station in Ohio.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
The name didn't ring a bell for me.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Long Snappers go without a lot of pomp and circumstance
for the most part in the NFL, so it's not odd.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
But I think this story would make the news even
if he did.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Not play in the NFL, because it's pretty disruptive what happened.
Jake McQuaid is of whatmer Rams, two time Pro Bowl
long snapper, very good at what he does and that's
very hard to do.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
By the way, Rams, when they were in Saint Louis,
that's when he started with them, and then came with
them out here to La, played for the Cowboys, the Lions,
and then last season played for the Bears, the Vikings
and the Dolphins.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
So, yeah, he's been he's a journeyman. He's been in
the NFL fourteen seasons or was. So he's church in Ohio,
Catholic Church, and during the mass, he gets up and
snaps at the chancellor of the Cincinnati Archdiocese, guy by
(11:15):
the name of Jason Williams. He had an issue because
there was a rumor that two priests had viewed pornography
on a church computer.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
He was adamant that they come forward. I mean, he
seems to think that this was a definite occurrence, that
it actually happened.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
He said, we want to put these rumors to rest.
Can you answer this for me? Fact or fiction? Did
these priests look at porn on our church computer? According
to that video, it's pretty hard to hear. When someone
at the altar told him this is not the time
for this, he responds by shouting, I'm sorry, sir, this
is the time and place I will stand up. Did
(12:07):
the priest use our parish computer to look at pornography?
True or false? He was, by the way, removed from
the church by the police.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
So for some reason, the beginning of that television report
starts with that notification that information I should say that
the entire police force was hired to do security at
these weekend at these weekend masses.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Archdiocese hired Green Township Police to be present at weekend masses.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Here at our Lady of Visitation where the Chancellor spoke
about recent allegations.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Now you mentioned the chancellor, Chancellor Williams, was reading a
letter from Archbishop Robert Casey to our Lady of Visitation
congregation that said that those rumors and again the rumor
was that two priests were looking at porn on one
of the computers. The rumors were investigated and no wrongdoing,
either criminally or ecclesiastically had been substantiated. I don't think
(13:06):
I've ever read that word ecclesiastically.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
The letter also said that one of the priests was
taking a previously planned sabbatical. The letter went on to say,
like gossip, the spreading of rumors is sinful and we
should all work to overcome this tendency of our fallen
human nature, just.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Like the Catholics.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
To shame you in the email responding to any sort
of wrongdoing on the church's behalf, and shame on you
for gossiping. Ow dare you're hail Mary's and three our fathers.
I didn't read this is where this guy's from. I
guess this is sort of hometown.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Two of the Green Township police officers escorted him from
the church, but he was not charged with anything.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
He was going through something. He sounds pretty he may be.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
He may just be pissed off at the church.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I mean, I mean, it's it's if there is a
rumor that exists, it's within your.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
It's within your right, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
And I mean his point about you know what, he
was told, this is not the time of the place.
If you got something like that going on, Yeah, that
is the time in the place.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
It's always the time of the place. Yeah, we're talking
about crazy x'es.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Oh boy, do I have an crazy X story for you,
And it relates to KFI. Oh has to do with
a former host. All right, love yours. She was so jealous.
She that if I went to the grocery store and
I took ten minutes too long, she would have me
take a photo of where I was to prove that
(14:39):
I was actually in traffic waiting to get back home.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Okay, sane, stop it right there, quick, gas go around.
Who is the kfive female host?
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Who is crazy. It's going to narrow it down quite
a bit. Okay, well, let's see we've got.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Gosh, I'm not saying anybody's just so you know, I'm
not going to say anybody's name.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, if she's that crazy, I don't want to yea.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Yeah, you're right, you're right. But I've got a good idea.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Are you going to write it down?
Speaker 3 (15:17):
You haven't welcome to work, But here I'll do I'll
do hands. Oh really, Oh wait a minute, that one
I started writing the same one. Yes.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
All I had to do was this is what we're
talking about?
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Right?
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:35):
No, no, ye okay, I could totally see that, right.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
It is a very distinct possibility, which is funny because
of the way that she no longer works here, kind
of got caught doing the same thing.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I did see her interviewed recently on a different podcast.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Oh wait, they're crazy one that got let go for that.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
There were a couple there were same lane though. Yeah,
I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Wait am I like that too? I'm not going to
look at you when you figure that out.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
I say this, when you have a story about a
crazy ax, let us know what it is. Use the
talkback feature on the iHeart app and send us a
message and tell us how you knew your ex was crazy?
Speaker 3 (16:20):
What stop looking at me? Are we all crazy?
Speaker 2 (16:24):
There's a reason why they keep us far away from
everyone else in the building.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Do you ever think about that? No, Gary and Channon
will continue in just a moment.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
President Donald Trump says his first conversation with Chinese leader
Shijen Ping since returning to the White House at a
very positive conclusion, announcing the two countries will hold trade
talks in hopes of breaking this deadlock over tariff's. Chinese
Foreign Ministry says she asked Trump on today's call to
remove the negative measures the US has taken against China.
(17:08):
The discussion followed Trump suggesting yesterday on social media it
was tough to reach a deal with she They've been
at a stalemate since May twelfth.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
An update out of New York in the Shandette Combs trial,
the judge there has worn the defense table that Colmbs
could be kicked out of the courtroom if he continues
to attempt to interact with the jury. The judge said
he saw Colmbs on two different occasions looking at the
jury and nodding vigorously. The judge said he already warned
(17:44):
the defense that he can't make any facial expressions or
attempt to have any interaction with or influence the jury.
The judge said in court today, I could not have
been any clearer in terms of what I said. There
was a line of questioning when your client was nodding
vigorously and looking at the jury. The judge said he
saw him doing it a second time. Said, I looked,
and I saw your client looking at the jury and
(18:04):
nodding vigorously. It's absolutely unacceptable, asked the defense attorney. Is
it going to happen again? And then told him it
cannot happen again. And if it does, the judge says,
he'll let the government make an application to give the
jury an instruction on the issue and will consider severe measures,
which could mean kicking him out of the courtroom altogether.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
We've got a story, a manhunt that continues. I'm sure
you've heard this story. It's made its way around the headlines.
This is for a father. Police say he killed his
three young daughters near a campground. His name is Travis Decker,
and this happened in Washington. The officials say he could
be anywhere within the country. He's thirty two and the
(18:52):
kids were nine.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Eight and five.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Three little girls killed after they left home for this
planned visitation with dad on Friday at five pm. It
was about three pm on Monday that officials found this
guy's vehicle unoccupied in Shaling, Shelan County. There Rock Island
Campground and the bodies were found as well, so the
(19:17):
vehicle and the bodies of the girls. Plastic bags over
the heads of each girl's wrists zip tied. They found
around the vehicle other zip ties and plastic bags. Tailgate
of the truck had what appeared to be two handprints of.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Blood on it.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
The Shelane County Sheriff Mike Morrison hellline news conference last night.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
This is not the outcome we wanted to see. We
were hoping that we could find Travis today, but we
are feeling optimistic thanks to our Marshall's department that has
come through and track down some good leads that we
feel are giving us more of an insight into Travis's mindset,
or he may have not gone or may have gone to.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
See The problem is this is one of those big
wilderness guys, saying that he has the ability and the
knowledge to probably survive in those hills to the west
of Shelan for a long time if he wanted to.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah, he has gone off the grid for up to
two and a half months, according to family members. This
is a guy who was deployed to Afghanistan in twenty
fourteen while on active duty in the Army. Transferred to
the Washington National Guard in twenty twenty one from the
active component. Preparations for an administration separation began in twenty
twenty three or last year, but the process has not
(20:30):
officially started and he remains in the Washington National Guard.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
How in the world does a guy get planned visitations
if he's homeless.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Yeah, he was homeless and living in his vehicle or
at various motels or campgrounds in the area. Also wanted, Well,
he's wanted in connection with it, currently wanted for three
counts of a first degree murder for his girls. But yeah,
that's a real I guess he was granted the visitation
(21:04):
before he was homeless. It can be a very lengthy
process to have any of those orders amended. I think
family Court.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
What a mess.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
This planned visitation was supposed to start at five o'clock
on Friday night, and Whitney Decker, the ex wife mother
of the girls, contacted police saying that he did pick
up the girls at five o'clock Friday night, but did
not return by ten o'clock, and said that she had
tried to call her ex husband multiple times but.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
His voice or cell phone was going straight to voicemail.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
And the mom said she was concerned because he had
never done this before. I'd never gone outside the parameters
of the visitation rules.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
But definitely some mental health issues that she knew about.
They were married for seven years. They had been nothing
that I'm saying any of this is her fault. It's
not absolutely, but there were signs. I guess I should say.
They had been married for seven years, divorced for several years.
She recalled moments in their marriage where he would wake
her up by screaming at her in the middle of
(22:06):
the night, randomly leaving. Towards the end of the marriage,
he was diagnosed with a borderline personality disorder that he
does not take meds for.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
That's awful, and like you said, he could be anywhere
in the country. They do not know if he's armed,
but he spent several years in the military. He was
deployed to Afghanistan in twenty fourteen in the Army, transferred
to the Washington National Guard in twenty one from the
active component, and they said they were preparing for an
administrative separation recently within the last year or two, but
(22:42):
that process hadn't officially started, so he's technically still a
member of the Washington National Guard. They've put out a
reward for information, and of course they're working with FBI,
Homeland Security and the Marshall's office to try to find him.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
They've also released a ring doorbell footage. He's in a
light colored T shirt, dark shorts in the days leading
up to the visitation with the with the girls nine
eight and five.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Again their ages go tea and.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
A mustache, long hair pulled back, So they're trying to
get that image out to the public that he does
have extensive military training and obviously a propensity for violence.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
All right, well, well we'll perk it up a little
happier story. We have some good animal stories we're going
to be getting into. And also next hour right after
swamp Watch we'll jump into some of our crazy X stories.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
How did you know that your ex was crazy? We
have some of those. Oh yeah, we got a bund.
There's crazy xes out there.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
There are crazy crazy and I would love it if
you admitted that you were a crazy ex.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
I was never a crazy not you. I just mean
in New York, you know. I mean, there's still time,
There's still time. Your husband is a lucky man. For now.
For now, Gary and Channon will continue.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Just to wet your beak a little bit, we're taking
your talkbacks about crazy exes.
Speaker 8 (24:10):
Hey, Gary and Shannon. I had a girlfriend in high
school and she would come to my house after I
told her we broke up and I didn't want to
see her, and she would break into my truck. She
somehow knew how to unlock my car and get into
my truck, and then she would say, she's in my
truck waiting for me, and she would sit in the
back of the truck until she would talk to me.
(24:31):
And then she would sit there and just stare at
me and talk to me and try to convince me
to stay with her.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Yeah, whoa, that's always a good anytime someone's waiting for
you in the backseat of your car, that's not good.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
And then just does the not especially if you know
I'm blinking stare. Yeah, oh you know, I'm good for you. Yeah,
you know. It's like a few good men stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Why are you fighting it? I won't be ignored. It's
time for our animal round us.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Okay, so this is a great story. No, it's so
it's so awful we can't play it.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
How many do you have? How many do I have?
Animal sounds? Name an animal? An eel? Nailed it? How
about a orangutang? How about a sloth?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
How about a sting ray?
Speaker 3 (25:35):
What a sting ray? They don't make noises? They don't
know all those other animals make noise? Okay, what about
roost cock? A doodle? Do we got to do it?
I did? Yes, I did about six in the morning.
Got sick of that game real quick.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
A couple of men in a harbor in southern England
noticed what they thought was a kind of swimming, funny
struggling struggling through the rough waters of this natural harbor there,
and as their boat got closer, they realized that's not
a seal, Why that's a little doll. Gary Bennett, captain
(26:19):
of the sixty foot ferry Transports transports oil workers to
a nearby island, says, I.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Was absolutely gobsmacked. You don't see a dog swimming in
the main shipping channels.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Ever, the puppy swam toward the boat and men drop
a ladder into the water.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Dog grips the ladder with her.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Paws, and then Ethan Grant, one of the trainee skippers,
jumps into the harbor to haul the dog aboard.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
She fell in landed on me. She literally called up
in a bowl and me lap and was so scared.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
They covered the dog and blankets, gave her food and water,
posting photos of her on social media, and within a
few hours one person recognized the dog as Amber, a
five year old retriever who had been missing for more
than a month after taking off from her foster home
in New Forest, about thirty miles from the harbor.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
They said, in the thirty six days since she went missing,
Amber covered about one hundred miles. The rescue group Angel
KOs Angel's Rescue had recently rescued Amber spent more than
a month searching desperately for her. Amber was living on
the streets of caught her for the first two months
of her life.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
That's rough.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
She spent the next five years, it says a Nikatari shelter.
But I thought they said that Amber, oh a five
year old. I thought it was five months old. You're right,
let's see. Sam Collins, runs the rescue says she was
found with five other siblings and they were all in
very bad way, to the point where two of her
siblings actually didn't make it. Oh yeah, we like to
(27:55):
take dogs in that are forgotten about. We found her
a brilliant foster home she could get adopted.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
The accent kind of softened the blow of the dead dogs.
I tried, That's why I did.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Yeah, well, that's lovely. Are they going to keep her
on the boat? She gonna be a boat dog?
Speaker 6 (28:12):
No.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
The most amazing thing is somehow they said this dog again.
Sam Collins, who runs the rescue group, said, the morning
after Amber's first night in the foster home, she was
out in the garden and somehow cleared in eight foot things.
They could see her in the field behind the house,
so they went over there to see if they could
catch her.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
As soon as she saw them. She just ran. Every
time somebody sighted her, she just molted. Do you want
to hear about the friendly beaver? That's no beaver? It wasn't.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
A woman vacationing in Europe thought she had captured a
cute encounter with a friendly beaver on camera.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
No beaver.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
She encounters this beaver, the beaver appears friendly, so she
whips out her phone.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Even I can tell that that's not a beaver.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Why do you think that you are more adept at
deciding what is a beaver and what is not.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I've seen beavers in the wild. Yes, that, ma'am, is
no beaver. What if it was a.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Beaver that you didn't even know about yet, like a
beaver that you've never seen before, you know there are.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Beaver's a pretty telltale like you see when you're like,
I know exactly what that is.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Niece Sharma is her name. She is from Manchester, England
to England and she she was.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
In Prague and.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I traveled to Prague for a trip to explore the
city a bit more as I've been a few times,
but I'd never walked down near the river banks. This
time I decided to take walk down the river banks
up to the water and saw the animal coming close
to the rocks where people can stand.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
She assumed she was encountering a friendly beaver.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
I assumed it was a beaver, as to me, it
looks pretty similar. I don't know much about beavers apart
from I don't know much about beavers apart from that
they live in rivers.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
She then explains what she did next.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
I thought, since it was a beaver, that we might
could feed it, although I'd never seen a beaver in
real life. What do you feed a beaver? Although I'd
never seen a beaver in real life before, they're often
portrayed as friendly in the media. So I started feeding
it some sandwiches.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
I mean, you would think that a beaver would be
partial to nuts, right, because you'd feed it.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
You'd feed a beaver like you'd feed a squirrel. I
would assume. I don't know the answer to that. Well,
what would you feed a squirrel nuts?
Speaker 8 (30:47):
Right?
Speaker 3 (30:49):
So I mean I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
I mean, I guess a beaver will eat anything like
it'll eat It'll eat a sandwich. I mean a squirrel
would probably eat a sandwich, She said, Do you think
a squirrel would eat a sandwich. It take a while,
a lot of stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
It wasn't until a few weeks later that I discovered
that it wasn't a beaver. When I showed my parents
the video and they corrected me.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
It was a nutria, you know, those big ass rats. Essentially,
that's not a beaver. You can tell the difference between
a Newtrie and a beaver.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
I thought it was hilarious that I was showing off
having fed a beaver to my family, just to find
out that it's actually what the Czech people call a
river rat.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
You're also not supposed to feed no beavers, they are squirrels.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Jackass who speaking of animals? And then the cockatoos. Have
you heard about the cockatoos?
Speaker 2 (31:44):
Is this also in England? This is in Sydney, Oh, Australia? Yeah,
all right, okay, all right.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Each night around sundown, Cockatoos and Western Sydney gather for
a ritual. They they wait in line on a fence
and then they take turns at a drinking fountain that's
right there, Roy. They grip the handle with their feet
and they lean forward to release a bubbling stream of
(32:15):
cool water. This requires strength, motor skills, innovation, it's been
documented for the first time. Researchers say it constitutes a
new urban adapted local tradition. The no that these that
these birds have evolved to.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Use a drinking fountain because they live in the city. Good,
NOI is there anything? Are they laughing at that? I
hope they're not laughing at that.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
I hope you guys are laughing at something very funny
in the other room. The sulfur crested cockatoos, by the way,
are very social.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
They're very social.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
The parrots, white bodies, yellow crests, and they're all over
the place in Sydney.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
And now they're all over our water fountain.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
They also know to open the bins in the city
south area, the southeast, the Southeast cockatoos, they know.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
How to open up the trash bins. I mean, I
don't think this is really evolution though.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
I mean for animals to find a way to use
a water fountain or get into the trash bin, that's
kind of what they do. They need food and water
and they're gonna find it. They're not dumbasses like that
woman with the beaver.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Good. No, all right, well we come back.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
The beef between the President and chijin Ping is their
ice that is melting in this chili relationship. Also, Elon
Musk is going of full tilt when it comes to
this big, beautiful bill, and the President continues to respond
to the criticism. We'll get into that as well right
here on Gary and Shannon.
