November 17, 2025 • 31 mins
Gary & Shannon kick off the final hour with the “work-from-home hangover” — how pandemic habits collided with a reluctant return-to-office generation. Then it’s #WhatsHappening: more Southern California storms on the way, Trump’s public split from Marjorie Taylor Greene, GameStop’s wild “trade anything” event, the FAA finally clearing up the flight mess, and Dodgers MVP Yamamoto adopting an adorable shelter pup named Carlos.
They break down Week 11 in the NFL and a chaotic #GaSFantasy4PlayRecap, including Shannon’s frustration with the Kansas City Chiefs and Elmer somehow going 4–0. For #MotivationalMonday, they remind listeners you’re never really out of the fight — with help from Friday Night Lights.
Gary & Shannon close the hour with a deep dive into the rise and fall of McDonald’s iconic $1 menu, how it once saved the company and why today fast-food prices are pushing low-income customers out, revealing a widening wealth divide.

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):
Motivational Monday comes along the bottom of the hour. Need
a little kicking of pants if you need to get
through this relatively rainy day once again we get is
at the bottom of the hour.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Definitely need that around here.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
A lot of moping, a lot of mopi faces, yep,
a lot.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Of mope vibe.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Part of it is that the elevators don't work, so
everybody had to use the stairs.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Meeting. The seven people who come to business on a Monday, all.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Seven of them had to use the stairs today.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I don't know if I've counted seven one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven exactly seven.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Maybe exactly So, I mean, it's what is this nineteen
thirty's New York.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
You remember when COVID was sad because we were the
only ones here and nobody could get here, and it
was just kind of kind of like a sad mopi
vibe because it was just.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
A total ghost town. Right.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
That's because people had to stay home, or we're told
to stay home. Now it's worse because people.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Have been told to come back, and they won't come back.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
It's lonely.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Why didn't we put more money into Zoom.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Or any if I can go back to twenty nineteen
and invest in Yeah, yeah, quite a decision.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
What else is going on?
Speaker 6 (01:27):
Time for what's happening?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Oh? You got more spotty showers. We're not done with
the stormyt weather just yet. We're gonna get some more today.
We've got a wind advisory that is going to be
in effect this afternoon, so you're gonna look out for
those power lines and maybe down trees. And then the
second storm system is moving in this afternoon, so we're
gonna get more rain, more snow in the mountains. So
(01:55):
people they say, will get the heaviest rain about seven
pm tonight, LA northern parts of Orange County as well.
It's still going to be rainy tomorrow. But don't worry.
The end times are are I'll rephrase that the sun
should be back by Wednesday. Oh, but not for long,
(02:17):
because we could get another system Thursday and which would
bring more rain into Friday. Hey listen, we're just gonna
we're gonna batten down the hatches. We're gonna, you know,
talk to people that live in our home. We're gonna
get cozy. Get the blankets out. Okay, never mind. Everyone
go to your screens.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Right, yes, and make sure you check the weather too, Like,
don't look outside to see what the weather's doing.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Look on your app. Yeah, it's a better way to
do it.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
President Trump is speaking from the White House right now.
Among other things, they've been talking about Venezuela. The President
does say that he would prefer to talk to Nicholas Maduro,
the head of Venezuela, rather than military strikes.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
But we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Also, last night, he made the unusual reversal and says
that he would like to see Republicans in the House
vote to release the files and the Jeffrey Epstein case.
There's a fight within the Republican Party over the files,
including this new split that has shown up between he
(03:26):
and Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green, who for a long
time and to this day continues to be one of
his fiercest supporters. But he did say I don't care.
That's what he wrote in Truth Social last night. I
don't care basically about what's in the files, he said.
All I do care about is that Republicans get back
on point concentrating on the economy.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Game Stop is allowing you to trade in almost anything
for their Trade Anything Day event. It's going to be
on December sixth at locations nowide. You can trade in
almost anything old electronics, scratched game discs, toys, taxidermy, all
for store credit this holiday season. There are certain things
(04:12):
that they're not taking hazardous wastes, dead or alive animals,
but a certain exemption excemption for taxidermy.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Alcohol, tobacco, drugs, pharmaceuticals, three D printers, label printers, VCRs,
and DVD players will not be accepted.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Man three D printers. What a fall from grace they had.
They used to be the next big thing. Now they're
right up there with game Stop not accepting them or
dead animals on Trade Anything Day.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Addition, airlines have resumed their regular flight schedules, but it
is November. There will be some weather cancelations. But as
I mentioned earlier, the FAA is lifting all restrictions on
commercial flights that had been imposed at forty major airports
last week during the government shutdown.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
They're back to it.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
They're back to the normal operations and as of right now,
there've only been about fifty cancelations in the United States
over the last day or over the days last week.
That number was in the one thousand plus in many
of those many of those airports.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
The last feel good story we told you about Yashinobu
yama Moto, the MVP of the World Series, was about
his translator, about how his translator wore lucky underwear which
happened to be boxers with bunnies with rainbow lasers shooting
out of the bunnies' eyes every time Yama Moto would pitch.
(05:36):
And now we know that those lucky underwear are indeed
quite lucky. Well, we've got a new feel good Yama
Moto story to tell you about, and it's about a
little dog named Carlos. Carlos is the lucky dog that
Yoshinobu first met at a West la animal shelter in August.
(05:57):
He is now Yamamoto has posted images of Carlos over
the weekend, including the two of them as they boarded
a private jet together, another of Carlos wearing Yamamoto sunglasses.
On the post, Yamamoto wrote, He's gentle and loves a
slow life. He loves naps, walks, eating good food. How
(06:19):
perfect is that?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I too like those things?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I like this, I too feel that I am Carlos
Yamamoto's dog.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Carle Car Carlitos.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Carlitos Carlitos is now Yamamoto's dog. It is a rescue dog.
We don't know what kind of dog it is. I
guess I'll have to go to social media.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
It's a doodle, if I'm not missed.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I think I saw the picture that you said it's
a doodle.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Well, why do you say it like that? Why do
you got to breed hate?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I didn't say it like that.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
You did you say it? You say every breed like that.
That's not your breed?
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Google all doodll.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
I.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
It's just it seems a little trendy.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
I agree. How do you rescue like a trendy dog?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
You know, guys, mind your own business. What okay? Yamamoto
gets happiness from a doodle that he got it as shelter.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I didn't say he couldn't. I'm happy for.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
The goat. I love dogs too.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
You love specific dogs?
Speaker 5 (07:31):
No?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
You, I'll say this.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I love specific dogs more than I love other dogs, right,
which is breetest?
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (07:40):
It is I accept that.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Okay, when we come back Gas Fantasy for play. The
league is on drugs. We've got motivational Monday.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
The first eight weeks it was a little drunk, and
now it's just completely go hard dog.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Hot rails, hot ass rails.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Here's the proof.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Elmer went four and O question mark.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Wait what.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
That's how we know the league is on drugs. This
is a drug test right here. This is the first
time any of us have gone four and oh this year,
you're picked for me because I was not on the
show on Friday that Justin, Yeah, Justin. You had Justin
picked for Justin who grew up and then decided he
was a Rams fan when they came back to LA
(08:29):
I give him no credit in any way for football whatsoever,
for that decision, that life decision that he made for
his entire family. That's the worst decision I've ever heard
of in the history of the NFL.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
He brought that up too. He was like, she doesn't
like it.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
She does not, nobody does.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
It is like, it's an insane choice. It's a tragic
move for his family, generational unwealth when it comes to
happiness in the NFL. To switch in a division like that.
You want to you go to another conferences? You put
to another conference?
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Right, pick some do like guys? Teams you do like
I did you pick the Chargers?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
You know what I mean? All right?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
They paid you coming up, They did pay me to
say that hashtag ad.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
A federal judge says the Justice Department engaged in a
disturbing pattern of profound investigative missteps when it got that
indictment against former FBI Director James Comy. Magistrate Judge William
Fitzpatrick said today that the problems include fundamental misstatements of
the law by a prosecutor or grand jury that indicted
(09:48):
Camy back in September. Also said the use of potentially
privileged communication and the investigation and unexplained irregularities in the
transcript of the grand jury proceedings are all problem. The
indictment charges Comy with lying to Congress in September twenty
twenty when he suggested under questioning that he did not
authorize a leak of information to the news media. Tomorrow
(10:12):
looks like the House is going to go towards that vote.
On a bill that would force the Justice Department to
release the case files that has collected on late financier
Jeffrey Epstein. Lawmakers and by the way that I just
read that little sentence from the Associated Press, can we
stop referring to him as a financier. There are things
that he did that would usurp that label. I'm okay
(10:36):
with just calling him a pedophile, a pedophile con well.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
But the thing is is, when these files are released,
there's a lot of people who did finance business with
him that had nothing to do with his trips to.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Those people, and those people are financiers. This guy's a pedophile.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I mean you said that point earlier, that there are
names in there that don't have anything to do with Epstein,
Island or the plane or anything like that. They just
were business associates to this guy and didn't know what
was going on. But they're gonna be brought into a
lot of it.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Probably.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Man, we've got on tap two nights, We've got the
Cowboys and the Raiders in Vegas. I mean, all of
Los Angeles is going to be going crazy.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
If it wasn't raining, it would be burning.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Oh my gosh. I mean, you've got a hobbled Raiders team.
Gino Smith. Well, I'm not gonna say anything bad about
Geno Smith. He's a nice guy. The Cowboys defense is awful.
But the Raiders, I mean, they've got Brock Bowers, so
that'll be good.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
But I mean, I think it'll be fun. I'll watch
tonight's game. It'll be a good time.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I think we need a good primetime game. Field.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Well, you're not going to get a good game, but
you might get something entertaining. I don't know if you're
going to see a lot of good football play tonight.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Run that isn't a good but I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
It might be a.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Freaking bar burner. Who knows anymore? What goes on?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Like you said, this has been the it's been a
very weird season. What we thought was the Kansas City
Chiefs team that was going to start bad and get
better did so and now looks bad again.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Well everyone is still a little gun shy to call
the Chiefs.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Lost season.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I mean, yes, when you look at the AFC standings
right now, the Chiefs are out of it and they're
out of the wild card race as of right now.
But this is kind of what the Chiefs do. That
was a hard game to win in Denver. That was
gonna be a hard great Denver's legit. Yes, bo Nix
makes dumb ass mistakes, but that defense is so freaking
(12:45):
good thanks to acquisitions from the forty nine ers, and
that the coaching is so good in Denver, and that's
just gonna be It's gonna I mean, it's gonna be
hard for the Chiefs to come back and and unseat
them head of.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
The AFC West.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I should look at the chief schedule before I say
something like that.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
But this is also what the Chiefs do. They like
to be counted out.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
They like to pretend they're injured, and then they do
what they do and they put on their magic show
and there they are back in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
They have to be good at the end of December,
beginning of January. That's what they need. They need to
do that and they'll back their way into the playoffs.
Our four games from well, you can mention the Chargers
if you wanted to. Chargers lost thirty five to six
in Jacksonville. Somebody said that's where all good Charger seasons
go to end, is Jacksonville.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
That's a little dramatic one season.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
The Rams beat the Seahawks yesterday at so far our
four games for gas Fantasy four play, Elmer, why don't
you tell us since you're the one who nailed all
four of those games?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Justin did pick the four justin picking for me, which
is I hate all of you for that.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
But like he didn't take the forty nine Ers over
the Cardinals as he watched one lick of football.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
This season, clearly not.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I mean, Jesus, Mary and Joseph. That's dumb.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
I knew that.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
All of his picks dumb.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Yeah, well I picked a Dolphins just because it's Matt's team,
and you know, I was just picking purely off of.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
That's a good pick.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah, they're coming off a win. It's at home game.
The Commanders are hobbled.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
I feel like they're all just like you know, karmic picks.
You know.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Oh it wasn't at home. It was in Spain. We
sent our best to Spain. Madrid deserved better.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Didn't they than the Commanders and Commander's Dolphins.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I mean, forty nine Ers at Cardinals that's a gimme.
I mean, come on, Lions at Eagles that's a good game.
That was a there's a big penalty that got called.
I didn't get to watch a lot of football was traveling,
but I did see even Chris Collinsworth took the side
of the Lions.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
It was a bad call, and they say it decided
the game. There's a million of things that decide million things,
and you should never allow one call to be the
thing that decides.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Again, Bears Vikings is always a good game. And man,
don't look now, but the Bears are winning all those
one score games. And one of the conspiracy theories is
the new Pope is.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
A Bears fan.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Ah, Jesus and everybody else on the side of the
Chicago Bears.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
That'll get you a win over the Vikings in the NFC.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Jesus and everyone else, well, the others involved with Jesus
at all.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Jesus as at all.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
We don't have time to The New Testament is.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
The whole second book.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Okay, all right, of the first part, I want to
I want your Bible labels. It's the Bible according to Shannon,
and instead of the Old Testament, it's the first part
and then the second one.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
The second part is Jesus at All.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
The first book.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
No, the first book is like eating your vegetables.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
You know, you got to get through a lot of
pain and upsetment, but it's good, like it gives you
foundational health. But then you get the fun times. Jesus
comes and it's like, let's go, you know what I mean.
That's a good stuff. That's when the you can just relax.
It's like having your cupcake with the sprinkles.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
If you're gonna put stuff on t shirts, do the
New Testament stuff. Yeah, that's a lot more easy to understand,
you know.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
But you got to get through the first book to
appreciate the second.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
You know, how would you appreciate Jesus as much had
you not gone through the whole first book.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
That's the reason. No, that's the reason they're both there.
That's right. Jesus at All.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
That's a.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Motivational Wait.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Justin has texted, uh.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Oh yeah, okay, he said I picked the Cardinals because
of this bs you give me about being a RAMS
fan for my children. First of all, don't say you
did this for your children, because that makes you sound
just like you hate your children. You don't teach your
children that you grow up a forty nine Er fan
and then switch to a team in the same division
(17:20):
that has been a rival of the forty nine ers
since the inception of the NFL. It is the stupidest
decision for your family you have ever made.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
He says.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I was also told Elmer was picking better than you
so far this year and thought it couldn't hurt. I
hope we can still be friends. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I don't know in this moment, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
There is something going on.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
At least he is apologize.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
This is your second jacket of the day.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Mister Rogers says that all the time different.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
First of all, both the police jacket and his sweater
both fit, you said the other one doesn't fit.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Like, would you stop being a Bears fan and then
go be a Vikings fan?
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Nobody would you?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Would you stop being a Bears fan and go root
for Green Bay?
Speaker 7 (18:14):
Like?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
What what are we talking about? It? As an American,
the forefathers did not come over here from England for
you to change allegiances in the same efing division. No,
they threw that into the Boston Harbor. They said, we
don't want that. We don't want that, and we don't
want your taxes. Choose someone from the AFC.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Anyone from the AFC.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Good lord.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
And furthermore, you live in La yes, but the forty
nine ers are a six hour drive.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
If you won't stop, that's.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Not like you're you're rooting for a team on the
other side of the country. Your children could have grown
up as forty nine er fans have been perfectly fine
and comfortable and happy.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Or you could have told them, but to be forty nine. Yeah,
you as a parent have that ability. They want to
grow up and change their allegiance because that's not the
team they gave up with.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
That's different day.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Not your ability, Gary, your duty, your responsibility. You look
get Elmer, he's a Jets fan. For crying out loud,
he's not going for Jesus at all.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Okay, motivational Monday. If that wasn't enough, when we come back.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Was it really a fight?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
So I'm not going to take his children now?
Speaker 4 (19:35):
So you're not he's not an American.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
He brought his youngest son to the show on Oh really, Jack, Yeah,
I haven't seen that kid in seven years, I think,
if not more. Wow, they're in trouble. Grow up, big
handsome kid. Oh yeah, good for them. Yeah, fine, the
rain will continue. We do expect storm rolling through this afternoon,
(20:02):
hang around for a couple of hours, and then other
later on in the week. There's another storm that's going
to be rolling through downtown La. As of this morning,
Downtown LA had received almost three inches of rain since Friday,
when the rain really started two point eight two. As
a matter of fact, that puts it ahead of the
previous November record from nineteen eighty five of two point
(20:25):
four inches of rainfall. But there were some places San
Gabriel Valley and obviously some places up in the mountains
had got more than that four or five inches of rain,
some of those places over the courses over the course
of the last few days.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Well, because of that rain, I think we need to
have a motivational Monday. We need to have that fire
lit right under our hindquarters to power us through this
atmospheric river.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
This is our first repeat of Motivational Monday since we
started it back in March. Is the first time we're
playing something that we have played before and there's a couple.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Of reasons why.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Number one, the premiere of season two of land Man
came on just last night on the Rail TV. That's exciting,
I love, but also because this is a great time
to remind you you're never out of it. Halftime State
(21:23):
Championship game, Permian Panthers out of Odessa, Texas taken on
the powerhouse that is Carter High School out of Dallas
with young boys that weigh about four hundred pounds on
their line. Carter is up by twenty points at the
half twenty and coach Gary Gaines has to rally his
team for the next two quarters of football. Friday Night
(21:46):
Lights from the year two thousand.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
What's real simple, You've got two more quarters and that's it.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Now.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
Most of you have been playing this game for ten years,
and you've got two more quarters. And after that, most
of you will never play this game again.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
You live.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
NEI all have known me for a while and for
a long time now you've been hearing me talk about
being perfect. Well, I want you to understand something. To me,
being perfect is not about that scoreboard out there. It's
not about winning. It's about you and your relationship to
yourself and your family and your friends. Being perfect is
(22:24):
about being able to look your friends in the eye
and know that you didn't let them down because you
told them the truth. And that truth is is that
you did everything that you could. There wasn't one more
thing that you could have done. Can you live in
that moment as best you can, with clear eyes and
love in your heart, with joy in your heart. If
(22:48):
you can do that, gentlemen, then you're perfect. I want
you to take a moment and I want you to
look each other in the eyes. I want you to
put each other in your hearts forever, because forever it's
about to happen here in just a few minutes. I
(23:09):
want you to close your eyes and I want you
to thinking about Booby Miles, who is your brother, and
he would die to be out there on that field
with you tonight. And I want you to put that
in your hearts. Because my heart is full. My heart's full.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
The most.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I like that character Coach Gains more than I like
the guy from Landman, which is saying a lot.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
So Gary Shannon will continue. Deborah Mark, you know what.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I would like to say, just one thing.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
You are out of it sometimes sometimes you're in Jacksonville,
and it's the fourth quarter, and it's the very beginning
of the fourth quarter, and you're out of it. The
math doesn't add up. You're out of it and there
wust have no time left. Also, I would also like
to say a footnote, winning is the important thing. I
(24:12):
love that you have great relationships with your friends and family,
and that's wonderful.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
But you're there to win the game. Okay, So that's
all I would add.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
There is a lot going on today.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Well, you're not there to lose the game.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
Gary, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM. Six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
US immigration agents arrested more than one hundred and thirty
people in a sweep through North Carolina's largest city of Charlotte.
Federal officials said that the like I said, the arrest
one hundred and thirty people is the number they gave us.
The governor said the crackdown effort is simply stoking fear.
Of course, the Trump administration has made the city of
(24:58):
Charlotte its latest folk for the enforcement surge comes that
it says is going to combat crime, despite objections from
local leaders in that area. The governor of North Carolina
got named Josh Stein says that they have seen agents
in paramilitary gear targeting citizens based on skin color. They
picked up random people off of sidewalks, is the way
that he described it.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Real problem with fast food chains right now and the
very demo that they hope to woo. McDonald's is the
latest in the news. McDonald's had a severe slump in
the early two thousands, so they came up with the
idea of the Dollar Menu, and the Dollar Menu resulted
(25:43):
in a major turnaround. Obviously, the menu all items cost
a dollar in change, and it was marketed to low
income customers, which is the base or what McDonald's sees
as their base. They value getting the most bang for
that buck. They had revenue balloon by thirty three percent
(26:08):
at the time, but now they have gone down double
digits when it comes to low income households going to
McDonald's because it's punitively expensive to go to McDonald's or
Carl's or other places.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
It's just it's become not an option, you know.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
I used to think, like I give the example of
I think it was Carl's Junior that I stopped at
off of forty six or whatever. Coming back from big
sur and got a large fries and a chicken tenders
or whatever, and it was like fourteen seventy six.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah, there used to be a time when you could
go to a place. I mean, we use the example,
the four of us, wife and wife and I, son
and daughter could go to In and Out, for example,
and eat for eighteen dollars. For a twenty dollars bill,
you could get enough food for the four of us
and be perfectly satisfied. But you couldn't do that at
other places. Now it's even getting harder to do it
(27:11):
at In and Out simply just because of inflation. But
the McDonald's third quarter earnings came out after the closing
bill that last week and showed that the same store
sales did increase two and a half percent, but that
they're dropping off on those lower income people that they
would usually rely on to be.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Such a big part of their customer base.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
In the past five years, the average cost for a
McDonald's menu item rose forty percent. The company says that
these increases are in line with the cost of running
a restaurant, labor, high costs of beef other goods.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
The CEO and president of McDonald's Chris Kemzinsky. Kemzinsky, in
an earnings call, talked about this being a challenging environment,
said that the company is going to deliver everyday value
and affordability menu innovation onana no NOA. To that end, though,
he said, the McDonald's has been bringing back their extra
value meals, so you're going to see a lot more
(28:15):
of those, the five dollars sausage, egg and cheese mcgriddle's meal,
ten piece chicken McNuggets for eight bucks, that sort of stuff.
They also, just in terms of getting some traffic through
their restaurants, they're going to bring back the Monopoly game
the first time in ten years. Of course they're because
it is twenty twenty five, they're concentrating a lot more
(28:36):
on this being or they're being a very strong digital
aspect to it, but it is an attempt to kind
of get everybody back there picking up those game pieces.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
However, they do it now.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Digitally and no, no, no, nona. I liked that.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Well, nobody cared what he had to say about the
business and the third and the CPS supports.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yeah, right, so did you get the memo about the
TPS reports.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Nobody gets the memos about TPS reports at least not here.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Maybe you have you have to check your emails to do.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
John's coming up next order what he's going to talk about.

then and then the second hours more yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Then wah wah, wah wah.
Speaker 2 (29:22):

a little kicking of pants if you need to get
through this relatively rainy day once again we get is
at the bottom of the hour.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Definitely need that around here.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
A lot of moping, a lot of mopi faces, yep,
a lot.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Of mope vibe.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Part of it is that the elevators don't work, so
everybody had to use the stairs.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Meeting. The seven people who come to business on a Monday, all.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Seven of them had to use the stairs today.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I don't know if I've counted seven one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven exactly seven.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Maybe exactly So, I mean, it's what is this nineteen
thirty's New York.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
You remember when COVID was sad because we were the
only ones here and nobody could get here, and it
was just kind of kind of like a sad mopi
vibe because it was just.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
A total ghost town. Right.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
That's because people had to stay home, or we're told
to stay home. Now it's worse because people.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Have been told to come back, and they won't come back.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
It's lonely.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Why didn't we put more money into Zoom.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Or any if I can go back to twenty nineteen
and invest in Yeah, yeah, quite a decision.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
What else is going on?
Speaker 6 (01:27):
Time for what's happening?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Oh? You got more spotty showers. We're not done with
the stormyt weather just yet. We're gonna get some more today.
We've got a wind advisory that is going to be
in effect this afternoon, so you're gonna look out for
those power lines and maybe down trees. And then the
second storm system is moving in this afternoon, so we're
gonna get more rain, more snow in the mountains. So
(01:55):
people they say, will get the heaviest rain about seven
pm tonight, LA northern parts of Orange County as well.
It's still going to be rainy tomorrow. But don't worry.
The end times are are I'll rephrase that the sun
should be back by Wednesday. Oh, but not for long,
(02:17):
because we could get another system Thursday and which would
bring more rain into Friday. Hey listen, we're just gonna
we're gonna batten down the hatches. We're gonna, you know,
talk to people that live in our home. We're gonna
get cozy. Get the blankets out. Okay, never mind. Everyone
go to your screens.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Right, yes, and make sure you check the weather too, Like,
don't look outside to see what the weather's doing.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Look on your app. Yeah, it's a better way to
do it.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
President Trump is speaking from the White House right now.
Among other things, they've been talking about Venezuela. The President
does say that he would prefer to talk to Nicholas Maduro,
the head of Venezuela, rather than military strikes.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
But we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Also, last night, he made the unusual reversal and says
that he would like to see Republicans in the House
vote to release the files and the Jeffrey Epstein case.
There's a fight within the Republican Party over the files,
including this new split that has shown up between he
(03:26):
and Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green, who for a long
time and to this day continues to be one of
his fiercest supporters. But he did say I don't care.
That's what he wrote in Truth Social last night. I
don't care basically about what's in the files, he said.
All I do care about is that Republicans get back
on point concentrating on the economy.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Game Stop is allowing you to trade in almost anything
for their Trade Anything Day event. It's going to be
on December sixth at locations nowide. You can trade in
almost anything old electronics, scratched game discs, toys, taxidermy, all
for store credit this holiday season. There are certain things
(04:12):
that they're not taking hazardous wastes, dead or alive animals,
but a certain exemption excemption for taxidermy.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Alcohol, tobacco, drugs, pharmaceuticals, three D printers, label printers, VCRs,
and DVD players will not be accepted.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Man three D printers. What a fall from grace they had.
They used to be the next big thing. Now they're
right up there with game Stop not accepting them or
dead animals on Trade Anything Day.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Addition, airlines have resumed their regular flight schedules, but it
is November. There will be some weather cancelations. But as
I mentioned earlier, the FAA is lifting all restrictions on
commercial flights that had been imposed at forty major airports
last week during the government shutdown.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
They're back to it.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
They're back to the normal operations and as of right now,
there've only been about fifty cancelations in the United States
over the last day or over the days last week.
That number was in the one thousand plus in many
of those many of those airports.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
The last feel good story we told you about Yashinobu
yama Moto, the MVP of the World Series, was about
his translator, about how his translator wore lucky underwear which
happened to be boxers with bunnies with rainbow lasers shooting
out of the bunnies' eyes every time Yama Moto would pitch.
(05:36):
And now we know that those lucky underwear are indeed
quite lucky. Well, we've got a new feel good Yama
Moto story to tell you about, and it's about a
little dog named Carlos. Carlos is the lucky dog that
Yoshinobu first met at a West la animal shelter in August.
(05:57):
He is now Yamamoto has posted images of Carlos over
the weekend, including the two of them as they boarded
a private jet together, another of Carlos wearing Yamamoto sunglasses.
On the post, Yamamoto wrote, He's gentle and loves a
slow life. He loves naps, walks, eating good food. How
(06:19):
perfect is that?
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I too like those things?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I like this, I too feel that I am Carlos
Yamamoto's dog.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Carle Car Carlitos.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Carlitos Carlitos is now Yamamoto's dog. It is a rescue dog.
We don't know what kind of dog it is. I
guess I'll have to go to social media.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
It's a doodle, if I'm not missed.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I think I saw the picture that you said it's
a doodle.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Well, why do you say it like that? Why do
you got to breed hate?
Speaker 4 (06:53):
I didn't say it like that.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
You did you say it? You say every breed like that.
That's not your breed?
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Google all doodll.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
I.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
It's just it seems a little trendy.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
I agree. How do you rescue like a trendy dog?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
You know, guys, mind your own business. What okay? Yamamoto
gets happiness from a doodle that he got it as shelter.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I didn't say he couldn't. I'm happy for.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
The goat. I love dogs too.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
You love specific dogs?
Speaker 5 (07:31):
No?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
You, I'll say this.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I love specific dogs more than I love other dogs, right,
which is breetest?
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (07:40):
It is I accept that.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Okay, when we come back Gas Fantasy for play. The
league is on drugs. We've got motivational Monday.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
The first eight weeks it was a little drunk, and
now it's just completely go hard dog.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Hot rails, hot ass rails.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Here's the proof.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Elmer went four and O question mark.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Wait what.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
That's how we know the league is on drugs. This
is a drug test right here. This is the first
time any of us have gone four and oh this year,
you're picked for me because I was not on the
show on Friday that Justin, Yeah, Justin. You had Justin
picked for Justin who grew up and then decided he
was a Rams fan when they came back to LA
(08:29):
I give him no credit in any way for football whatsoever,
for that decision, that life decision that he made for
his entire family. That's the worst decision I've ever heard
of in the history of the NFL.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
He brought that up too. He was like, she doesn't
like it.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
She does not, nobody does.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
It is like, it's an insane choice. It's a tragic
move for his family, generational unwealth when it comes to
happiness in the NFL. To switch in a division like that.
You want to you go to another conferences? You put
to another conference?
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Right, pick some do like guys? Teams you do like
I did you pick the Chargers?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
You know what I mean? All right?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
They paid you coming up, They did pay me to
say that hashtag ad.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
A federal judge says the Justice Department engaged in a
disturbing pattern of profound investigative missteps when it got that
indictment against former FBI Director James Comy. Magistrate Judge William
Fitzpatrick said today that the problems include fundamental misstatements of
the law by a prosecutor or grand jury that indicted
(09:48):
Camy back in September. Also said the use of potentially
privileged communication and the investigation and unexplained irregularities in the
transcript of the grand jury proceedings are all problem. The
indictment charges Comy with lying to Congress in September twenty
twenty when he suggested under questioning that he did not
authorize a leak of information to the news media. Tomorrow
(10:12):
looks like the House is going to go towards that vote.
On a bill that would force the Justice Department to
release the case files that has collected on late financier
Jeffrey Epstein. Lawmakers and by the way that I just
read that little sentence from the Associated Press, can we
stop referring to him as a financier. There are things
that he did that would usurp that label. I'm okay
(10:36):
with just calling him a pedophile, a pedophile con well.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
But the thing is is, when these files are released,
there's a lot of people who did finance business with
him that had nothing to do with his trips to.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Those people, and those people are financiers. This guy's a pedophile.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I mean you said that point earlier, that there are
names in there that don't have anything to do with Epstein,
Island or the plane or anything like that. They just
were business associates to this guy and didn't know what
was going on. But they're gonna be brought into a
lot of it.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
Probably.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Man, we've got on tap two nights, We've got the
Cowboys and the Raiders in Vegas. I mean, all of
Los Angeles is going to be going crazy.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
If it wasn't raining, it would be burning.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Oh my gosh. I mean, you've got a hobbled Raiders team.
Gino Smith. Well, I'm not gonna say anything bad about
Geno Smith. He's a nice guy. The Cowboys defense is awful.
But the Raiders, I mean, they've got Brock Bowers, so
that'll be good.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
But I mean, I think it'll be fun. I'll watch
tonight's game. It'll be a good time.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I think we need a good primetime game. Field.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Well, you're not going to get a good game, but
you might get something entertaining. I don't know if you're
going to see a lot of good football play tonight.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Run that isn't a good but I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
It might be a.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Freaking bar burner. Who knows anymore? What goes on?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Like you said, this has been the it's been a
very weird season. What we thought was the Kansas City
Chiefs team that was going to start bad and get
better did so and now looks bad again.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Well everyone is still a little gun shy to call
the Chiefs.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Lost season.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I mean, yes, when you look at the AFC standings
right now, the Chiefs are out of it and they're
out of the wild card race as of right now.
But this is kind of what the Chiefs do. That
was a hard game to win in Denver. That was
gonna be a hard great Denver's legit. Yes, bo Nix
makes dumb ass mistakes, but that defense is so freaking
(12:45):
good thanks to acquisitions from the forty nine ers, and
that the coaching is so good in Denver, and that's
just gonna be It's gonna I mean, it's gonna be
hard for the Chiefs to come back and and unseat
them head of.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
The AFC West.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I should look at the chief schedule before I say
something like that.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
But this is also what the Chiefs do. They like
to be counted out.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
They like to pretend they're injured, and then they do
what they do and they put on their magic show
and there they are back in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
They have to be good at the end of December,
beginning of January. That's what they need. They need to
do that and they'll back their way into the playoffs.
Our four games from well, you can mention the Chargers
if you wanted to. Chargers lost thirty five to six
in Jacksonville. Somebody said that's where all good Charger seasons
go to end, is Jacksonville.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
That's a little dramatic one season.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
The Rams beat the Seahawks yesterday at so far our
four games for gas Fantasy four play, Elmer, why don't
you tell us since you're the one who nailed all
four of those games?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Justin did pick the four justin picking for me, which
is I hate all of you for that.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
But like he didn't take the forty nine Ers over
the Cardinals as he watched one lick of football.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
This season, clearly not.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I mean, Jesus, Mary and Joseph. That's dumb.
Speaker 5 (14:11):
I knew that.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
All of his picks dumb.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Yeah, well I picked a Dolphins just because it's Matt's team,
and you know, I was just picking purely off of.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
That's a good pick.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah, they're coming off a win. It's at home game.
The Commanders are hobbled.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
I feel like they're all just like you know, karmic picks.
You know.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Oh it wasn't at home. It was in Spain. We
sent our best to Spain. Madrid deserved better.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Didn't they than the Commanders and Commander's Dolphins.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I mean, forty nine Ers at Cardinals that's a gimme.
I mean, come on, Lions at Eagles that's a good game.
That was a there's a big penalty that got called.
I didn't get to watch a lot of football was traveling,
but I did see even Chris Collinsworth took the side
of the Lions.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
It was a bad call, and they say it decided
the game. There's a million of things that decide million things,
and you should never allow one call to be the
thing that decides.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Again, Bears Vikings is always a good game. And man,
don't look now, but the Bears are winning all those
one score games. And one of the conspiracy theories is
the new Pope is.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
A Bears fan.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Ah, Jesus and everybody else on the side of the
Chicago Bears.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
That'll get you a win over the Vikings in the NFC.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Jesus and everyone else, well, the others involved with Jesus
at all.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Jesus as at all.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
We don't have time to The New Testament is.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
The whole second book.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Okay, all right, of the first part, I want to
I want your Bible labels. It's the Bible according to Shannon,
and instead of the Old Testament, it's the first part
and then the second one.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
The second part is Jesus at All.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
The first book.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
No, the first book is like eating your vegetables.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
You know, you got to get through a lot of
pain and upsetment, but it's good, like it gives you
foundational health. But then you get the fun times. Jesus
comes and it's like, let's go, you know what I mean.
That's a good stuff. That's when the you can just relax.
It's like having your cupcake with the sprinkles.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
If you're gonna put stuff on t shirts, do the
New Testament stuff. Yeah, that's a lot more easy to understand,
you know.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
But you got to get through the first book to
appreciate the second.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
You know, how would you appreciate Jesus as much had
you not gone through the whole first book.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
That's the reason. No, that's the reason they're both there.
That's right. Jesus at All.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
That's a.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Motivational Wait.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
Justin has texted, uh.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Oh yeah, okay, he said I picked the Cardinals because
of this bs you give me about being a RAMS
fan for my children. First of all, don't say you
did this for your children, because that makes you sound
just like you hate your children. You don't teach your
children that you grow up a forty nine Er fan
and then switch to a team in the same division
(17:20):
that has been a rival of the forty nine ers
since the inception of the NFL. It is the stupidest
decision for your family you have ever made.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
He says.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I was also told Elmer was picking better than you
so far this year and thought it couldn't hurt. I
hope we can still be friends. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I don't know in this moment, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
There is something going on.
Speaker 5 (17:50):
At least he is apologize.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
This is your second jacket of the day.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Mister Rogers says that all the time different.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
First of all, both the police jacket and his sweater
both fit, you said the other one doesn't fit.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Like, would you stop being a Bears fan and then
go be a Vikings fan?
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Nobody would you?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Would you stop being a Bears fan and go root
for Green Bay?
Speaker 7 (18:14):
Like?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
What what are we talking about? It? As an American,
the forefathers did not come over here from England for
you to change allegiances in the same efing division. No,
they threw that into the Boston Harbor. They said, we
don't want that. We don't want that, and we don't
want your taxes. Choose someone from the AFC.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Anyone from the AFC.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Good lord.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
And furthermore, you live in La yes, but the forty
nine ers are a six hour drive.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
If you won't stop, that's.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Not like you're you're rooting for a team on the
other side of the country. Your children could have grown
up as forty nine er fans have been perfectly fine
and comfortable and happy.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Or you could have told them, but to be forty nine. Yeah,
you as a parent have that ability. They want to
grow up and change their allegiance because that's not the
team they gave up with.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
That's different day.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Not your ability, Gary, your duty, your responsibility. You look
get Elmer, he's a Jets fan. For crying out loud,
he's not going for Jesus at all.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Okay, motivational Monday. If that wasn't enough, when we come back.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Was it really a fight?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
So I'm not going to take his children now?
Speaker 4 (19:35):
So you're not he's not an American.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
He brought his youngest son to the show on Oh really, Jack, Yeah,
I haven't seen that kid in seven years, I think,
if not more. Wow, they're in trouble. Grow up, big
handsome kid. Oh yeah, good for them. Yeah, fine, the
rain will continue. We do expect storm rolling through this afternoon,
(20:02):
hang around for a couple of hours, and then other
later on in the week. There's another storm that's going
to be rolling through downtown La. As of this morning,
Downtown LA had received almost three inches of rain since Friday,
when the rain really started two point eight two. As
a matter of fact, that puts it ahead of the
previous November record from nineteen eighty five of two point
(20:25):
four inches of rainfall. But there were some places San
Gabriel Valley and obviously some places up in the mountains
had got more than that four or five inches of rain,
some of those places over the courses over the course
of the last few days.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Well, because of that rain, I think we need to
have a motivational Monday. We need to have that fire
lit right under our hindquarters to power us through this
atmospheric river.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
This is our first repeat of Motivational Monday since we
started it back in March. Is the first time we're
playing something that we have played before and there's a couple.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Of reasons why.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Number one, the premiere of season two of land Man
came on just last night on the Rail TV. That's exciting,
I love, but also because this is a great time
to remind you you're never out of it. Halftime State
(21:23):
Championship game, Permian Panthers out of Odessa, Texas taken on
the powerhouse that is Carter High School out of Dallas
with young boys that weigh about four hundred pounds on
their line. Carter is up by twenty points at the
half twenty and coach Gary Gaines has to rally his
team for the next two quarters of football. Friday Night
(21:46):
Lights from the year two thousand.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
What's real simple, You've got two more quarters and that's it.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Now.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
Most of you have been playing this game for ten years,
and you've got two more quarters. And after that, most
of you will never play this game again.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
You live.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
NEI all have known me for a while and for
a long time now you've been hearing me talk about
being perfect. Well, I want you to understand something. To me,
being perfect is not about that scoreboard out there. It's
not about winning. It's about you and your relationship to
yourself and your family and your friends. Being perfect is
(22:24):
about being able to look your friends in the eye
and know that you didn't let them down because you
told them the truth. And that truth is is that
you did everything that you could. There wasn't one more
thing that you could have done. Can you live in
that moment as best you can, with clear eyes and
love in your heart, with joy in your heart. If
(22:48):
you can do that, gentlemen, then you're perfect. I want
you to take a moment and I want you to
look each other in the eyes. I want you to
put each other in your hearts forever, because forever it's
about to happen here in just a few minutes. I
(23:09):
want you to close your eyes and I want you
to thinking about Booby Miles, who is your brother, and
he would die to be out there on that field
with you tonight. And I want you to put that
in your hearts. Because my heart is full. My heart's full.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
The most.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I like that character Coach Gains more than I like
the guy from Landman, which is saying a lot.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
So Gary Shannon will continue. Deborah Mark, you know what.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I would like to say, just one thing.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
You are out of it sometimes sometimes you're in Jacksonville,
and it's the fourth quarter, and it's the very beginning
of the fourth quarter, and you're out of it. The
math doesn't add up. You're out of it and there
wust have no time left. Also, I would also like
to say a footnote, winning is the important thing. I
(24:12):
love that you have great relationships with your friends and family,
and that's wonderful.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
But you're there to win the game. Okay, So that's
all I would add.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
There is a lot going on today.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Well, you're not there to lose the game.
Speaker 6 (24:27):
Gary, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM. Six forty.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
US immigration agents arrested more than one hundred and thirty
people in a sweep through North Carolina's largest city of Charlotte.
Federal officials said that the like I said, the arrest
one hundred and thirty people is the number they gave us.
The governor said the crackdown effort is simply stoking fear.
Of course, the Trump administration has made the city of
(24:58):
Charlotte its latest folk for the enforcement surge comes that
it says is going to combat crime, despite objections from
local leaders in that area. The governor of North Carolina
got named Josh Stein says that they have seen agents
in paramilitary gear targeting citizens based on skin color. They
picked up random people off of sidewalks, is the way
that he described it.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Real problem with fast food chains right now and the
very demo that they hope to woo. McDonald's is the
latest in the news. McDonald's had a severe slump in
the early two thousands, so they came up with the
idea of the Dollar Menu, and the Dollar Menu resulted
(25:43):
in a major turnaround. Obviously, the menu all items cost
a dollar in change, and it was marketed to low
income customers, which is the base or what McDonald's sees
as their base. They value getting the most bang for
that buck. They had revenue balloon by thirty three percent
(26:08):
at the time, but now they have gone down double
digits when it comes to low income households going to
McDonald's because it's punitively expensive to go to McDonald's or
Carl's or other places.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
It's just it's become not an option, you know.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
I used to think, like I give the example of
I think it was Carl's Junior that I stopped at
off of forty six or whatever. Coming back from big
sur and got a large fries and a chicken tenders
or whatever, and it was like fourteen seventy six.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
Yeah, there used to be a time when you could
go to a place. I mean, we use the example,
the four of us, wife and wife and I, son
and daughter could go to In and Out, for example,
and eat for eighteen dollars. For a twenty dollars bill,
you could get enough food for the four of us
and be perfectly satisfied. But you couldn't do that at
other places. Now it's even getting harder to do it
(27:11):
at In and Out simply just because of inflation. But
the McDonald's third quarter earnings came out after the closing
bill that last week and showed that the same store
sales did increase two and a half percent, but that
they're dropping off on those lower income people that they
would usually rely on to be.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
Such a big part of their customer base.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
In the past five years, the average cost for a
McDonald's menu item rose forty percent. The company says that
these increases are in line with the cost of running
a restaurant, labor, high costs of beef other goods.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
The CEO and president of McDonald's Chris Kemzinsky. Kemzinsky, in
an earnings call, talked about this being a challenging environment,
said that the company is going to deliver everyday value
and affordability menu innovation onana no NOA. To that end, though,
he said, the McDonald's has been bringing back their extra
value meals, so you're going to see a lot more
(28:15):
of those, the five dollars sausage, egg and cheese mcgriddle's meal,
ten piece chicken McNuggets for eight bucks, that sort of stuff.
They also, just in terms of getting some traffic through
their restaurants, they're going to bring back the Monopoly game
the first time in ten years. Of course they're because
it is twenty twenty five, they're concentrating a lot more
(28:36):
on this being or they're being a very strong digital
aspect to it, but it is an attempt to kind
of get everybody back there picking up those game pieces.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
However, they do it now.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Digitally and no, no, no, nona. I liked that.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Well, nobody cared what he had to say about the
business and the third and the CPS supports.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Yeah, right, so did you get the memo about the
TPS reports.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Nobody gets the memos about TPS reports at least not here.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Maybe you have you have to check your emails to do.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
John's coming up next order what he's going to talk about.
Is it just going to be a bunch of.
Speaker 4 (29:12):

then and then the second hours more yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Then wah wah, wah wah.
Speaker 2 (29:22):

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
