00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:04.000
This is Gary and Shannon and you're
listening to KFI AM six forty, the

2
00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:08.160
Gary and Shannon Show on demand on
the iHeartRadio app. Did Sheannon really get

3
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:11.679
in trouble? And that why?
And that's why she's not there because she

4
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:16.280
said something on the air, because
I will beat somebody up management, iHeart

5
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:19.920
management. Excuse me, I listen
in to hear that beautiful lady every day.

6
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:23.399
I'm getting a little defensive over here. Uh. Oh, sounds I

7
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:26.719
hope you're joking. Gary, Okay, bye, Well, yes, you'll

8
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:31.960
ask her when she comes back.
He was joking. Shannon's not in trouble.

9
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:36.119
She's enjoying vacation. Well, whether
it was forced on her or not,

10
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:41.119
she's enjoying it. What else is
going on? Time for what's happening?

11
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:49.359
Oh, she'll be fine. Well. More records are expected to fall

12
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:55.000
about one hundred and thirty million people
under a heat threat as we get into

13
00:00:55.039 --> 00:00:58.280
our next week. Expected to shatter
more from east coast to west coast.

14
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:03.200
We saw some very high temperature.
They said that one hundred degrees will be

15
00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:07.000
a thing of the past in the
Pacific Northwest. Remember that a couple of

16
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.400
years ago when Portland got up around
one hundred and thirteen, and Seattle was

17
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:15.319
well over one hundred. In Oregon, they said records could be broken in

18
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:21.280
Eugene and Portland and Salem, dozens
of other records throughout different parts of the

19
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:25.760
country, from Bullhead City, Arizona's
in Norfolk, Virginia. We did see

20
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:30.400
temperature of what is it one twenty
four in Palm Springs. Palm Springs one

21
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:34.920
twenty eight in Death Valley, YEP
didn't reach that one thirty mark that they

22
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:40.480
were looking for, and then one
eighteen I think it was in Vegas and

23
00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:46.599
by ten am or ten thirty am, it was one hundred degrees in Vegas.

24
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:51.680
That's incredible, I mean, and
I'm going to Vegas in for my

25
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:56.840
nephew's twenty first birthday. Antim is
taking him to Vegas. Are you in

26
00:01:56.920 --> 00:02:00.280
just a couple of weeks? Are
you a pool party person? I will

27
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:07.599
be. I will be so today
this week here in southern California. There

28
00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:10.960
are still some heat advisories and things
to keep an eye on for the next

29
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.759
week, but for the most part, it's not going to be anywhere close

30
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:19.919
to what we saw Thursday and Friday. The lake fire that's burning up in

31
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:24.159
Santa Barbara County is continuing to expand. It's one of twenty one wildfires currently

32
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:29.560
burning in the state. According to
CalFire. It's about forty miles north of

33
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:34.400
Santa Barbara and started near Zaka Lake
in the Los Padres National Forest. So

34
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.439
it's up over twenty thousand acres and
the last number I saw was about eight

35
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:45.000
percent containment. It was in the
area where Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch was located

36
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:50.479
along Figaro Mountain Road. So this
successive heat warning, I mean you said

37
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:55.960
this. I think it's hard to
describe the amount of energy and effort it

38
00:02:55.960 --> 00:03:00.960
takes for these firefighters to be out
there, Oh my gosh, full turnout

39
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:07.360
gear in one hundred degree weather,
which if they were just walking through the

40
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:12.400
forest or through the grasslands and one
hundred degree weather, that would be incredible,

41
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:16.439
But they're also dealing with fire and
which tends to be warm, so

42
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:20.719
it makes it even that much hotter
in the area. And the turnout gear,

43
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.840
I mean you're talking about, it's
thickness which you attack on. I

44
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.960
believe it was thirty extra pounds or
so plus carrying all the equipment, plus

45
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:35.639
in the oppressive heat That's why it's
paramount that they drink a lot of water,

46
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.719
get a lot of fluids. But
that's why we're also we tend to

47
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:42.759
say, you know, a firefighter
injured before heat related injuries, you know,

48
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.159
taken hopefully minor injuries. We did
that a couple of times last week

49
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:50.759
when we heard that there were a
couple of firefighters who were exhausted from the

50
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:54.199
heat. But the heat is the
number one killer when it comes to weather

51
00:03:54.439 --> 00:04:00.199
phenomena. The United States just saw
the busiest air traveled in history. More

52
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:05.120
than three million people passed through airport
security just yesterday, setting a new single

53
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:12.240
day record. We mentioned earlier that
it was something like seven or eight of

54
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:17.959
the top ten most traveled days when
you judge the number of security screenings the

55
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:25.000
TSA does in history, had all
happened since May first, Seven of the

56
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:29.040
top ten, and now we've had
I think three more so all of them,

57
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.560
all of the top ten busiest days
in the history of the United States,

58
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:35.360
I should say, in the history
of the TSAF. We're using that

59
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:41.920
metric as it count have all happened
since May first, breaking records left and

60
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:45.319
right. And you know this makes
the airlines happy, right Delta reports at

61
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:50.720
the second quarter earnings on Thursday fifteen
point five billion, nearly a billion more

62
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:57.759
than the same period a year ago. I traveled at the beginning of May,

63
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:02.120
and in fact was a day off
of one of those very heavily traveled

64
00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:06.199
days, like I flew in on
a Saturday, but Friday was considered to

65
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:13.680
be one of the heaviest traveled days. I didn't notice a particularly congested airport.

66
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:15.639
I flew out, I mean into
Lax at the time too. Do

67
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.839
you have pre check? Does that
matter for you? That makes seems to

68
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:23.519
make a big difference. I do
have pre check, but I don't.

69
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:28.120
It didn't seem like it was much
of anything I traveled in a while.

70
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:32.480
I need to get out more with
you. I don't know well. Hurricane

71
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:38.600
Burrel made landfall as a Category one
along the Gulf coast of Texas very early

72
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:43.519
this morning and has continued to churn
her way through the states, joining US

73
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:47.920
now from I'm assuming a pretty gray
Dallas is ABC's Jim Ryan. Jim,

74
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:51.240
what's going on? Pleasantly gray?
It's nice to have some cool weather for

75
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:54.360
one, even if it's from a
tropical storm. But yeah, that's where

76
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:58.600
we are. Right now, Gary, it's a tropical storm. Hurricane Barrel

77
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:03.680
came ashore as a low level hurricane
Category one with winds sustained winds of about

78
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:08.959
eighty miles per hour. We saw
some gusts around Houston of ninety four ninety

79
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:14.000
five miles per hour. So yes, the category one now has been back

80
00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.240
down to tropical storm as it gets
weaker, but continues to the northeast,

81
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:21.199
dumping rain wherever it goes. Gary, Yeah, and Marla Tay is here.

82
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:25.560
Jim Ryan, nice to talk to
you. I'm in for Shannon today.

83
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:30.000
So now that it's that tropical storm
you're in Dallas, what does the

84
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:35.000
forecast look like for you in the
coming hours? Rain? Just some rain,

85
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:41.079
some normal, you know, typical
afternoon rain, nothing too horrific at

86
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:45.000
all. It's all moving to the
east again, the east and the northeast.

87
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:51.079
So at the point where Texas sand
and Arkansas and Louisiana and Oklahoma kind

88
00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:55.240
of all come together, the town
is called Texahoma and Texama by the way,

89
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:59.319
Texas Canada. That's they're going to
start getting some rain up there too.

90
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.560
And by the end of this week, if the projection holds true from

91
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:09.040
the National Hurricane Center. This storm
will start having started in Texas up through

92
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:14.639
Arkansas up into the Ohio Valley,
and on Thursday they'll have rain in Michigan

93
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.759
from Burrel. Wow, that's a
sat. Yeah, that is some reach.

94
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:23.680
And power is obviously an issue.
It's out for what almost three million

95
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:28.560
people as well and so far to
deaths correct, two point seven million power

96
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:30.680
outages. Now that's homes, businesses, could be an apartment complex, could

97
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:35.839
be an individual house. The two
point seven million customers essentially, and two

98
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:39.920
fatalities at least that we know of. There was a house fire US this

99
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:44.279
morning and then the Houston area that
may have been started by lightning caused by

100
00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.839
Beryl. We don't know that yet. But there also were some tornadoes in

101
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:50.240
the area too, And those are
some of the things that often come with

102
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:56.319
hurricanes, and in fact, usually
most of the casualties, the deaths and

103
00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:01.680
injuries come after the storm is gone. People misuse generators, for example,

104
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.800
and electrocute themselves, or they start
a fire, or it's carbon monoxide poison,

105
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.240
or somebody drowns. So just because
the storm has moved out of a

106
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:15.120
very popular place like Houston doesn't mean
that the danger is gone. Very general

107
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:18.680
question, how is the grid in
Texas? You know, obviously when the

108
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.959
cold snap hit a couple of years
ago and there were some problems. We

109
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:26.560
see it every summer that the heat
brings with it its own issues. And

110
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:31.319
with two I think two point seven
million is the number I saw without power.

111
00:08:31.679 --> 00:08:35.039
The utilities know this, right,
so they're going to be sort of

112
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:41.000
prepositioned and ready to respond. But
how has that been going generally for the

113
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.720
state. Well, the numbers haven't
started going have not been going down yet

114
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:48.000
in terms of out it is.
But yeah, the grid after that big

115
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:52.279
February of twenty twenty, I guess
it was the big freeze that exposed the

116
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.320
real weaknesses in that power grid and
the you know, the fatalities that came

117
00:08:56.360 --> 00:09:01.080
out of that, people freezing to
death. Essentially millions of dollars were spent

118
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.840
in upgrading and solidifiing that grid to
ensure that that didn't happen again, and

119
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:09.519
by the way, fortifying it against
he two and those things have helped to

120
00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:16.000
protect it against this sort of wind
and rate event. So you can't speculate

121
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:18.440
this how many outages there might have
been had those things not happen, But

122
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.759
two point seven million outages out of
thirteen million, you know in the fourteen

123
00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:30.159
million tracked isn't so bad at this
point. Well, we appreciate you taking

124
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:33.240
the time out. We've seen some
images of these down power lines, the

125
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:39.120
effects of just the strong wins.
It looks like you have quite the afternoon

126
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:43.080
ahead of you. You can follow
him on X at Jim Ryan t X.

127
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.879
We appreciate you, Thank you,
sir. Thanks Marlin, you bet

128
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.440
Jim Ryan there live in Dallas.
Up next, we're going to get into

129
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:54.159
a little bit of music news.
One great album that was released over the

130
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.720
weekend that I've listened to about five
times now already, which one is that

131
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.799
it's just the It's the new Zach
Bryan album. Oh that's right, but

132
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:05.679
it's good. It's got some good
cameos on it. We'll talk about that

133
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.120
among other things tomorrow. By the
way, Dodgers are taking on the Phillies
