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. We've talked about this big,
huge information technology outage that grounded flights and knocked banked off banks, offline
media outlets. We told you that the City of Portland was under an emergency
because of some computer systems. The Port of Houston and the Port of Long
Beach had some problems, but they say they are now fully operating. They
experienced outages overnight and this morning. Some of the other large ports around the
country La Savannah, New York, New Jersey. They said they didn't see
very many disruptions. Crowd Strike is this cybersecurity firm that is blamed for a
update that went bad. And this is not the first crowd strike outage that
we've had in recent months. Back in the middle of April or so,
CrowdStrike released an update to customers that were running their Linux product that similarly crashed
their systems. The bug back in April, they said unrelated to what happened
today, because today's was a Windows base. They said it took the CrowdStrike
team about five days to fix that one back in back in April, Marion
sent us a meme. Lots of people on social media maybe we should just
try unplugging the country and restarting it Microsoft, hold my beer. I did
see that people saying that on social media during yesterday's RNC. A quick note
about the weather. Heat wave is expected to stay through Wednesday or Thursday of
next week. National Weather Services there's a five to fifteen percent chance of thunderstorms
forming now through Sunday. Most of the rain it would actually evaporate before it
hits the ground, but that means those thunderstorms could bring some brief heavy rain
to the mountains and unfortunately some some lightning. And then one quick note,
I just got a yeah you know Hello Kitty? Right? I love Hello
Kitty? Do you know Hello Kitty is not a cat? What I feel
like I have to do this very carefully because of the reaction that your face
just gave me. Hello Kitty is not a cat? On the fiftieth anniversary
of Hello Kitty, the director of retail business Development for San Rio, which
is the creators Hello Kitty is not a cat. According to Jill Cook,
she's actually a little girl. In fact, she's a tiny girl who weighs
three apples and stands five apples. She was raised now, She was raised
in the London suburbs with her sister Mimi, their parents, and they even
own a cat. But hello, kitty is a girl, not a cat.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news. It's ridiculous. So
I'm not even You're not faced by that at all. Hello, I could
tell on your face your face are you? Are you crying? It's time
for swamp watch. Swamp is horrible. Man, gonna make this like a
reality TV show. BADU always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d
C. A Joe, a town built on a swamp and in so many
ways still a swamp. I have to watch of Milwaukee, he said,
drained the swamp. I said, Oh that's so. You know where did
Brandon go? Brandon left? Yeah, I know. He was really good
at his job. Last night. I don't even know where to begin.
Last night, the final night of the Republican National Convention, UH Donald Trump
accepted for the third time the nomination to be the Republican presidential candidate, made
it official. He gave a ninety minute speech last night and said, if
you took the ten worst presidents in the history of the United States. Think
of it, the ten worst, added them up. They will not have
done the damage that Biden has done. Only going to use the term once,
the term Biden. I'm not going to use the name anymore, just
one time twice. Yeah, that's like him saying he's not going to tell
the story of how he was shot ever again. I'm just going to talk
about it the one time and then never again. There was discussion about unification
or uniting the country against in bite such a heinous attack. We unite this
evening more determined than ever. I am more determined than ever, and so
are you, So is everybody in nursing and listen. He didn't need to
unite the Republican Party. That that was done and dusted. To use a
peloton instructor's term, that that was a given. The party has been united
behind him for weeks and months, and clearly within the last seven days absolutely
solidified that position. He needed to reach out to the independence He really needed
to reach out to Democrats who were frustrated with the lack of leadership on certain
issues. He needed to reach out to those people who at times were either
embarrassed about support for him or didn't want to talk about support for him.
That the even the never trumpers that were out there that said they would never
vote for this guy or never vote for him again, and show them I
can do the job, and I can do the job with a whole new
attitude, which is I am lucky to be here, I am lucky to
be alive, and I want to give back to the country. Having a
pulse was key. Well, he got into that when he talked about how
much his ears bleeding. Well, the ear thing that the band has just
become such a prop, hasn't it. It's such a prop. It's a
stage prop. There. I knew it was going to happen that there were
people in the crowd also wearing band over their right ear. That made me
laugh. And I know, listen, people, people, people close to
me said I was being mean when I said, that's a ridiculous bandage on
your own. It's ridiculous because when he went golfing the following day he didn't
have a bandage on. Not certain that that's actually true, because I've seen
images that have been proven to have been old golf images Oh's, and because
he wears the same thing. He wears the white polo shirt, the red
hat, and the golf pants. So I'm not saying it didn't happen.
I just can't trust verify that. Yeah, but it's it's anyway. It's
kind of ridiculous. But I thought it was very funny that other people showed
up to the event last night with their own half MAXI pad covering their right
ear. I thought that was pretty pretty silly. So it turns out he
didn't even go golfing, according to the fact checkers. Now, yeah,
that's that's kind of what I It's just one of those things that exists online
and doesn't go away after it. He never goes away. The other thing
that I saw last night was that he keeps switching the ear on which he's
wearing the bandage, which is not the case. All you have to do
is i'd be flipped the image on your camera. It's super easy to do,
and then say he's such an idiot he can't put the bandage on the
right ear. Well, you're that. That's the frustrating aspect of what social
media is that it spreads the disinformation and the misinformation spreads so much quicker and
no one is designed or no one is willing to take that stuff down.
I'm on Gary and Shannon, get with it. Hella Kitty has always been
a little girl that lives in London. We've been known that for decades.
I've known it for thirty years. Why I've been sirs behind the line,
you know that excellent point. What's funny is when I when we get these
talkback messages, I can read it. The computer will transcribe, so I
know what they're saying. A lot of times that goes into the screening process,
but it doesn't say who they are. So that you thought it was
a female. I did think it was a woman. That was Tonight,
the Dodgers are back at Dodger Stadium. Take on the Red Sox first pitch
at seven. Listen to every play of every Dodgers game on AM five seventy
LA Sports Live from the Gallpin Motors Broadcast Booth, stream all games n HD
on the iHeartRadio app Keyword AM five seventy LA Sports. Geez, guys,
sometimes you say some of the most ridiculous things. Yes, it was a
gulls, it was not a Maxi pag. Come on, man, wash
your mouth. Out with, so we didn't say it, did. Let
me ask you, how long do you were a bandage after getting shot in
the ear? Come on, now, come on. You sounded ridiculous.
Okay, whenever you say that kind of stuff, Gary, we do know
that you are a true Delicut. We got to keep track of how many
times people accuse us of being one thing or the other. Every day.
It's a new diametrically opposed that. You guys love Trump, you guys hate
Trump, you guys love Biden, you hate Biden, you love America,
you hate America. I did say it was a max because I was making
a joke. I know that he's not wearing a Maxi pat on his ear.
It reminds me of one time when I said something about going to Nordstrom
and my mother said to me, oh, Shannon, you're such a Republican
like people are so quick to throw out those labels in general. No reason
do you think that Trump did what he well, I don't know what he
set out to do. Was it a successful convention speech, etc. He
could have done no wrong at that convention. At this point in time,
after being shot in the face, no wrong, he was much more toned
down last night. The rhetoric was all still there, crazy Nancy Pelosi and
all that stuff, and you know, silence of the lambs and off the
rails, but it was at a muted tone. So he wanted it to
be I am a big boy, I'm an adult in the room, and
I'm an use this tone. But he still said things like crazy Nancy Pelosi
and there's a lot of blood and the air and the bleeds and it's a
big blood. There was one physical thing that he was or that he wasn't
doing last night, that we saw eight years ago in Cleveland when he accepted
the nomination. When he did the speech in Cleveland, he would he would
deliver a line, the applause would happen, he'd step back from the podium
and he would soak it in. Yeah, and then he would step back
up and he'd get back into it and say we're going to have to shut
down the border and we're going to clean up this, and we're going to
do this, or when everybody tries and we're all going to succeed, and
then he would applause and he would step back and just kind of like yeah,
basking it. And he didn't do that last night. I remember.
I don't know why that struck me as something that was even noteworthy, but
it was just a physical thing that has changed about the way he was delivering
the speech. I wondered if he was going to have any effects from what
happened on Saturday in terms of addressing a large crowd for the first time again,
if he would be a little gun shy for lack of a better term.
Oh, that actually would be a perfect term, you know, looking
around, or just I don't know. I mean, obviously security is lock
tight, right, I wonder if that is different tomorrow. They do have
they being Trump and JD. Vance. They do have an event that was
originally going to be an outdoor rally that they've moved inside. Interesting and is
there a sloped roof involved maybe on the outside, but not on the inside.
So there is obviously a lot of attention that's being paid to what will
happen with President Biden. The pressure, as we've said, continues to increase
on him to step down as the head of the Democratic ticket. Kamala Harris
meeting with donors this afternoon thirty one now thirty one. Congressional Democrats have publicly
called on Joe Biden to get out of the race because they realize a couple
of things. Time is of the essence for them to be able to pick
a successor at the top of the ticket. If they're going to open it
up and do any sort of an open prime, mini primary, blitz primary,
whatever term you want to use, or if they're going to wait and
do an open convention, which would be holy mackerel an absolute nutball's craziness for
four days in Chicago, and then you're you're looking at one hundred and ten
days I think it is between now and election day roughly. That's that's not
a lot of time for them to put together a bunch of money. And
then we got to get to January, and then there's then there's January.
All right, less politics when we come back. Dirty pillowcases? What what
haven't you heard about this? Pillowcases during this summer are dirtier than your toilet.
Yeah, I don't know what you're doing to your pillow but uh,
but uh, remember how I referred to the CLI team and the dirty team
in Washington, the people who are keeping their noses clean by not talking publicly
about Biden stepping down and the people working behind the scenes. So like the
clean team is Hakem Jeffries. He reiterated to reporters in Brooklyn today that Biden
remains the nominee. He said to the reporters, President Biden, as I've
said repeatedly, is our nominee. He has a tremendous track record of success,
and he has the vision, I believe, the ability, the capacity,
and the track record to make a case to the people that will result
in us being successful in November. He's the clean team. He's not going
to say anything against Biden. Nancy Pelosi is the dirty team. She's working
behind the scenes, rallying her troops to all come out and publicly say that
he needs to step aside. And I'm already three people from the House committee
investigating January sixth have publicly said that he can't beat Trump and needs to step
aside. Is it that Nancy Pelosi's longer in leadership she can do that,
or is it that she's got all the strings that she could pull that it's
with zero repercussion. It's she has just the same amount of power she did
when she waved the gavel. We had a funny question actually about last night.
Gary Hey, Shannon, quick question. Don't you think he seemed legitimately
surprised when Malania walked on stage at the end. It didn't seem like it
was false. It seemed like he was actually shocked that she went up on
stage with him. Thoughts have a good weekend. My thought is is they're
not a traditional couple, and they have not They've been living separate lives for
a long time. And my goodness, does she just keep getting more beautiful?
Okay, those are two things. Yeah, yeah, I agree.
I don't know if it was surprised or not. I mean, remember we
were talking about Hillary Clinton's big dumb look on her face when the balloons fell,
and that was such a bad look. I don't know, well Bill
Clinton specifically with that, Ah, I don't know if if we can make
expectations or are you know, realistic expectations for somebody who's going to have I
mean, there's forty cameras on him at that point. It's not like he
doesn't know that they're watching him. So, speaking of first ladies, Jill
Biden has canceled a planned a campaign in ann Arbor, Michigan on Sunday.
Uh oh, well, I mean her husband's sick. Maybe she's taken care
of. Hey. You know, people are accusing you guys of being Republican
or Democrat or whatever. I mean, people are crazy. You guys are
equal opportunity stupid. All that was sweet. Less. We like to keep
it right down the middle. Okay. I wanted to bring this list to
if you hadn't seen this yet. ESPN has named the top one hundred athletes
of the twenty first century. Okay, I don't know who's ninety nine.
I don't know who's one hundred through eleven. Oh, I know eleven.
But I'll give you where do you want to start? I have a fit
fifteen Katie Ldeki. Okay, what did she? What's that for? She's
a swimmer. I know swimming is hard. It is very hard. Steph
Curry number fourteen, okay, Christian Ronaldo thirteen, Rafe Nadal twelve, Another
tennis player, Novak Djokovic eleven. Top ten. Here's your top ten ESPN's
one hundred greatest athletes of this century so far, first twenty four years of
this century. Kobe Bean Bryant, He's number ten, number ten. Interesting,
Yeah, Kobe Bryant is number ten, the eight time Olympic gold medalist,
hundred meter world record holders, sprinter, the window one hundred meter and
two hundred meter titles in three consecutive Olympics. Number nine is usin bolt.
They're going to put Tom Brady above Kobe Bryant. We'll see, won't we
Well, he's not going to drop. Well, I don't know. Actually,
you don't know. When they say athlete, they don't just mean physical
athlete, right, they mean the whole noggin mental game, all of that.
I mean, I guess you have to tell me more. Number eight,
Yes, thirteen major wins, eleven major wins is number one golfer,
which is nine more than any other player of all time. Number eight Tiger
Woods Okay. Number seven is another Olympic medalist. Seven time Olympic medalist,
tied for the most by any American gymnasts own files for Olympic gold medals.
Number six twenty time major champion, three hundred and sixty nine majors, eight
Wimbledon titles. That gives you the hint one hundred and three tour singles.
Roger Federer AH number six, number five, seven time Super Bowl champion,
five time MVP three time NFL MVP, two time AP Offensive Player of the
Year, fifteen time Pro bowler, three times First Team All American Tom Brady
Tom Brady number five. Interesting funny they have him in a buccaneer's uniform this
picture and not the Patriots. I saw a crazy stat about him today that
he's never taken a snap and ben statistically impossible for him to make the playoffs.
It's one of those weedy things. Yeah. Number four was on the
NBA seventy fifth Anniversary Team. All time scoring leader, twenty time All Star,
nineteen time All NBA selection, four time Finals MVP, three time All
Star Game MVP. Lebron James, Lebron James. Number three, a soccer
player, ten time La Liga champion, seven time Copa del Rey winner,
just recently blew his ankle out and it looked like an elephant stepped on him.
Lionel Messi number three, the second This is the number two athlete of
this century. Twenty three time major champion, three hundred and sixty five major
match wins, seventy three career titles, fifth most by a woman in the
open era of tennis. Serena Serena Williams and the number one athlete. Do
you think of anybody trying to see I'm still shot? Kobe is so far
down on that list ten I am like that I haven't moved past that.
That's odd to me. That's very odd to me. And right now Kobe
is really pissed off about that. Somewhere somewhere. Number one. Yeah,
this was a surprise. I did not see this coming. I did not
see this guy. It's a guy. Uh huh. As not that I
disagree with the list, It's just I would not have I would have what's
sport? Uh, swimming? Swimming? Michael Phelps. Yeah, no,
that's twenty eight time Olympic medalists. Twenty three of those were gold, most
gold medals at a single Olympics when he won eight of them at Feijing back
in two thousand. So we're just counting trophies at this point. It sounds
like that's like that must be the accomplished. Yeah, okay, all right,
fine, because that is that is a list you could argue, and
I would love the what if this great athlete played had to play some other
sport, Like if Michael Phelps could he play tennis? Could he play basket?
He could probably play basketball. It's a super tall guy. Could he
play football? Could Tom Brady play tennis? I mean, all of those
things are I love those conversations. That's for a different station plate. What
was that? Now? They tell you you can't bring liquor onto an airplane,
and I say, watch me. A spokesperson for a Hungarian budget airline
called I'm Gonna bring it on anyway called whiz Air that a bunch of unruly
passengers ricked, wrecked havoc on a whiz Air flight. Why would they get
drunk on their own alcohol? Why would you name your airline after urine?
The flight last month took off in London and was headed to Lamaca Cypress.
In the appalling footage snapped by a passenger, seemingly intoxicated woman could be seen
wandering the aisles swearing at other flyers as crew members try to calm her.
At one point, this woman and another guzzle large cans of beer, which
they reportedly brought from home. How do you bring beer from home onto a
flight? Well, first of all, you book a flight on something called
wiz Air. Yeah, but you wouldn't get past security. Again, I
don't know if they'd meant home or if they bought it because you could buy
a can of beer. Can you buy a cannabier at the airport? I
don't know. I mean you can get a beer at the bar, but
I don't think think you can. Well yeah, yeah, no you can.
I think like at CPK they have like little coolers with beer and wine
there when you're ordering. Well known secret among people who live in this area
is, if you want to go anywhere, the way to get to Lax
is always always, always go to arrivals, even when you're flying out,
and second go to Burbank instead. However, we're Ontario. The Spirit Airlines
ticket agent was not happy. This was the sound of the Spirit. Good
lord, she seems like fun. Everyone's gonna shut up, and we're gonna
say this once and we're only gonna say it again because we're frustrated as hell,
said one Spirit employee. At least two new employees have been suspended as
a result of that. One also, don't sleep on Long Beach Airport.
Have you ever flown out of Long Beach? Beautiful, nice, open air
eating and sitting area, Nice and easy Ontario is the only one locally that
I don't think I've ever flown out of Yeah, because I've done Yeah,
those are good. Those are fun. Extreme heat is causing carbonated drinks to
explode when they're opened by flight attendants on some Southwest flights, mostly on those
airports in Phoenix and Vegas, which obviously have seen temperatures well above one hundred
and ten, but they said Austin, Houston, Dallas, and Sacramento flights
have also seen this as well. About twenty flight attendants have actually been injured
by these ruptured cans or rupturing cans, and one of them needed stitches.
As a matter of fact, a flight attendant had to hold up a bathroom
door that came loose on a sixteen hour flight. Oh watch that smell lose
just minutes into that flight. Damn Hong Kong to JFK. My wife,
No, she would never have done that. I just saw a picture of
your wife. My wife. Yeah, my wife, my wife wife?
What was she's posting pictures? Now? Yeah? I don't see those.
They're not total nudes. They're tasteful. You've been listening to the Gary and
Shannon Show. You can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty nine
