Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: That's good, though, I like it's what does I say?
Speaker 2: It's regenerative? Yeah, I thought it looked pretty good.
Speaker 1: Organic zeen invigorates with green tea, bright lemongrass, and crisp spearmint.
Speaker 1: It's got some caffeine in it, however, But I thought
Speaker 1: we could get into this city and see what happens
Speaker 1: to really roll the dice and go crazy.
Speaker 2: Our particularly dangerous wind situation expires at about ten o'clock,
Speaker 2: so we have at at least to this point, gotten
Speaker 2: through the worst of our wind latest wind episode, and
Speaker 2: not had a big fire. We did get a couple
Speaker 2: of small brush fires, one of them up near Griffith Observatory.
Speaker 2: Guy was accused of or suspected of starting that fire.
Speaker 2: So there was also another one right along the four
Speaker 2: or five in Granada Hills that temporary closed some of
Speaker 2: those northbound lanes but was quickly put out.
Speaker 3: A couple down in San Diego County.
Speaker 2: And again this is an example of when we know
Speaker 2: these are coming, there are ways for us to jump
Speaker 2: on these right away and prevent little fires from turning
Speaker 2: into big fires.
Speaker 3: So that's the good.
Speaker 4: News hitting the ground running.
Speaker 1: That was a full day yesterday, from the inauguration to
Speaker 1: Emancipation Hall, to the statuary event or the lunch to
Speaker 1: the arena and then what three different balls.
Speaker 2: Three different balls, multiple speeches. When he was in the
Speaker 2: Oval office, this is newly returned to President Trump, he
Speaker 2: was signing all of those executive orders. I mean stacks
Speaker 2: of these executive things that were being signed, and he's discussing,
Speaker 2: what's this one, and then they would tell him and
Speaker 2: he would go, oh, that's a big one, and he
Speaker 2: would sign his name, and he's taking questions while he's
Speaker 2: doing it and kind of holding a news conference while
Speaker 2: he's signing all of these executive orders.
Speaker 1: It's night and day when it comes to access and
Speaker 1: transparency from what we saw in the waning days of
Speaker 1: the Biden administration.
Speaker 4: And I understand why.
Speaker 1: I mean every time they trot them them out, I
Speaker 1: would say, why are they trotting them out? Because there's
Speaker 1: not a lot there left unfortunately, and you know, you
Speaker 1: want to protect somebody like that as well and not
Speaker 1: just let them.
Speaker 4: You know, be hanging out in the wind.
Speaker 1: But Trump is taking all the questions, he is talking
Speaker 1: as long as he wants to go. He's holding all
Speaker 1: of these events. He's running on adrenaline and energy, and
Speaker 1: it's it's a wild juxtaposition to what we've seen the
Speaker 1: past few months.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it doesn't slow down right away. I mean,
Speaker 2: obviously there is a lot that's going on behind the scenes. Well,
Speaker 2: not necessarily behind the scenes, not necessarily in the White House.
Speaker 2: I'll say that, because you've got a bunch of cabinet
Speaker 2: nominees that are facing Senators on their path to confirmation.
Speaker 3: Marco Rubio.
Speaker 2: It was nice to see the Senate finally come together
Speaker 2: and pull its head out of its collective ars and
Speaker 2: unanimously put Marco Rubio in the secretary's state position ninety
Speaker 2: nine to nothing.
Speaker 3: There are others.
Speaker 2: The Senate Finance Committee did advance the nomination of Scott
Speaker 2: Bessant for Treasury Secretary. This morning at least Stephonic appeared
Speaker 2: before the Senate for Relations Committee. She is there right
Speaker 2: now in the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee. Lawmakers are going
Speaker 2: to look at the VA nominee Doug Collins. All of
Speaker 2: this playing out in the early days of any administration
Speaker 2: are busy like this, but these executive orders that went
Speaker 2: online last.
Speaker 3: Night were were numerous and important.
Speaker 1: So Trump signed an executive order directing the US to
Speaker 1: again withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement. This is the
Speaker 1: one that seeks to combat global warming and distances us,
Speaker 1: some say, from our closest.
Speaker 2: Allies as well.
Speaker 1: The pact is aimed at limiting long term global warming
Speaker 1: to and I can tell you this, but it's going
Speaker 1: to mean nothing two point seven degrees fahrenheit above pre
Speaker 1: industrial levels. I've always and I'm not a climate in scientist.
Speaker 1: I'm not a climate scientist, nor anybody who knows anything
Speaker 1: about climate. But I will say this, as long as
Speaker 1: China and India are balls to the wall foot to
Speaker 1: the gas when it comes to pollution and manufacturing, we're
Speaker 1: not going to do s globally when it comes to
Speaker 1: climate change.
Speaker 3: We're not going to make a difference.
Speaker 1: We really are not going to make a dent without
Speaker 1: India and China. And it doesn't take a climate expert.
Speaker 2: To tell you that. Trump signed an executive order that
Speaker 2: begins the process of getting out of the World Health
Speaker 2: Organization the second time in less than five years. That
Speaker 2: he's ordered us to get out of WHO, despite it
Speaker 2: being a move that many scientists said could roll back
Speaker 2: decades long gains made in fighting infectious diseases.
Speaker 3: Now I think TB and.
Speaker 1: Malaria, the AIDS, the AIDS, he's got AIDS. Sorry, it's
Speaker 1: just a little Conway fandom. I'm torn when it comes
Speaker 1: to pardons with the attack, and I'm going to get
Speaker 1: heat from everybody on that, and I'll tell you why
Speaker 1: I'm torn. I'm torn because I feel like he directed
Speaker 1: those people to the capitol. I feel like this is
Speaker 1: the guy who caused the whole thing. I do believe
Speaker 1: he incited that whole mess. I don't know if he
Speaker 1: meant to have them riot. I don't know if he
Speaker 1: meant to have them violent. He wanted people, he wanted
Speaker 1: a showing of people, a strong showing at the capital
Speaker 1: on that day. I have no qualms about I have
Speaker 1: no questions about that. He is the one who said
Speaker 1: go to the capitol.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 2: They went to the capitol.
Speaker 1: So I have a problem with him pardoning people who
Speaker 1: are attacking capital police officers.
Speaker 4: I do have a problem with the violent people.
Speaker 1: I have the problem with the crazies that took the
Speaker 1: crazy to the level of violence. But I also support
Speaker 1: the fact that he's taking accountability. Even though he's not
Speaker 1: going to say that, it seems like he's taking accountability
Speaker 1: for being the one who incited that. I know I'm
Speaker 1: making nobody happy when I say this, but do you
Speaker 1: know what I mean?
Speaker 2: I do and I feel about it. I have a
Speaker 2: similar thought. It disturbs me to no end that they
Speaker 2: did basically a blanket pardon for everyone involved, even those
Speaker 2: who were assaulting police officers. I mean that I have
Speaker 2: a hard time with that. That's egregious. That to me,
Speaker 2: is an absolute failure on this. I mean hours into
Speaker 2: the administration, a failure on their part. They've had weeks,
Speaker 2: may months, nay a few years now to figure out
Speaker 2: which ones they want to pardon and which ones they don't.
Speaker 3: And there are some you could argue that they were.
Speaker 2: They were present, they walked through the capitol when they
Speaker 2: weren't supposed to listen. I think they're morons for having
Speaker 2: done so, But they didn't assault police officers, and that,
Speaker 2: to me, should have been a clear dividing line.
Speaker 1: But he's sending the message, if you fight for me
Speaker 1: and you give me extreme loyalty to the point of violence.
Speaker 4: I've got your back, and that's terrifying.
Speaker 3: It's it.
Speaker 1: It's terrifying for the people who are going to put
Speaker 1: up the hurdles and the guard rails and the lawsuits
Speaker 1: and everything. He's sending a message that if you fight
Speaker 1: for what I want to the point of violence, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: I've got your back now. I did see an interview
Speaker 2: with a senator this morning, and I can't remember which
Speaker 2: senator it was, but there was a senator that was
Speaker 2: an approached in the hallways of the Capitol and was
Speaker 2: asked the question, what would you say or have you
Speaker 2: spoken to any Capitol police officers today knowing that this
Speaker 2: is going on as a republic I think it was
Speaker 2: Tom Tillis. As a matter of fact, Republican Senator Tom,
Speaker 2: have you talked to any Capitol police officers this morning?
Speaker 2: What is their react?
Speaker 3: Well, I haven't talked to him.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't expect them to react because they're professionals, and
Speaker 5: if they're not happy about it, they will probably say
Speaker 5: that outside of this build, I would expect a single
Speaker 5: police to say a word about it. It was like
Speaker 5: I said, I think that it raises I think a
Speaker 5: legitimate safety question here on Capitol.
Speaker 2: Will Again, I don't think any sworn officer that is
Speaker 2: working in the Capitol today is going to say anything
Speaker 2: about this to any media outlet. But how as a
Speaker 2: Capitol police officer do you look at this and not
Speaker 2: say that you've been let down? One officer, former officer,
Speaker 2: used the word he was betrayed by his country with
Speaker 2: these pardons that came down. This was I think an
Speaker 2: egregious error on their part, on the Trump administration's part,
Speaker 2: to parton everybody with just this blanket pardon. All right,
Speaker 2: that does not mean that they are not going to
Speaker 2: have some legal challenges, and we know that they those
Speaker 2: have already lined up. So some of those first lawsuits
Speaker 2: against what will be a very litigious presidential administration. Big
Speaker 2: dangerous winter storm that's sweeping across the South is dumping
Speaker 2: heavy snow crossed places like Houston, some other major metropolitan
Speaker 2: areas along the Iten Corridor, the state of Louisiana. They
Speaker 2: say the least the Gulf Coast has seen its first
Speaker 2: ever blizzard warning along portions of the Gulf Coast.
Speaker 6: So Garyan Shannon, are you talking about Trump? Partning fifteen
Speaker 6: hundred people that have for the most part, already served
Speaker 6: their time, and some of them didn't deserve any time.
Speaker 6: Or are you describing the Biden administration partning people that
Speaker 6: have yet to been charged and or convicted but blanket
Speaker 6: pardoned them anywhere.
Speaker 2: We talked about that yesterday.
Speaker 1: We talked about that as it was happening with Biden
Speaker 1: pardoning his two brothers and a sister and their spouses yesterday,
Speaker 1: as after he walked into the roadtun to the paperwork
Speaker 1: has filed along with million fauci and a bunch of
Speaker 1: other people that he want he wants to protect from
Speaker 1: retribution by Trump. His argument is that he thinks Trump
Speaker 1: will go hogwild on all of these people.
Speaker 2: And listen, if these people did pay their price to society,
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're talking about January sixth, people were
Speaker 2: convicted of crimes, then they've paid their price.
Speaker 3: I mean that there. I don't have a problem with that.
Speaker 2: The idea that these people were subjected to, you know,
Speaker 2: unlawful prison time or just thrown in jail without any
Speaker 2: sort of trial or legal process is absolute bunk. They
Speaker 2: were all given the opportunity to have their day in
Speaker 2: court and prove their innocence or or maintain their innocence.
Speaker 2: They have to be proven guilty. The assumption is innocence.
Speaker 2: But the I think about and listen and you said it,
Speaker 2: you know, I agree. I think he sent those people
Speaker 2: to the Capitol. Even if he says at the end
Speaker 2: of whatever speech he's giving, go there peacefully and with love.
Speaker 2: You've got thousands of people descending on the Capitol. What
Speaker 2: was the expectation that was going to happen? These people were.
Speaker 4: Pissed off, he knew what he was doing.
Speaker 3: They were angry.
Speaker 2: What was the assumption and the idea that that group
Speaker 2: of people would then take out that anger, frustration, whatever
Speaker 2: they believed they had in their heads at the time
Speaker 2: against law.
Speaker 3: Enforcement at the Capitol. I watched.
Speaker 2: I sat here and I watched it. We watched, we
Speaker 2: were on the air when all of that was going down.
Speaker 4: It was very embarrassing. It was awful. It was something
Speaker 4: that happens in other countries, not this country anyway.
Speaker 1: That's TikTok signed in an executive order to keep TikTok
Speaker 1: operating for ninety days.
Speaker 2: He also said that he's expecting the valuation of TikTok
Speaker 2: could hit a trillion dollars.
Speaker 1: And doesn't he want somebody in America to split the
Speaker 1: split the company up.
Speaker 2: And he even mentioned having some sort of governmental portion
Speaker 2: of it that the United States government might.
Speaker 4: That seems like a free speech issue.
Speaker 3: Get some money in there, does it not.
Speaker 2: Executive action that freezes a bunch of the new orders
Speaker 2: by former President Biden, new new and pending federal regulations.
Speaker 2: Executive action that orders federal employees back to work five
Speaker 2: days a week. He signed us in a flourish in
Speaker 2: front of a cheering crowd. The move followed, of course,
Speaker 2: the President's pled to pledge to end the work from
Speaker 2: home culture that became common during COVID order on a
Speaker 2: federal hiring freeze. The ordered a federal hiring freeze, mirroring
Speaker 2: the actually took the start of his first turn to
Speaker 2: try to reduce the size of government. Restores twenty seventeen
Speaker 2: deportation criteria directs the Attorney General to help states get
Speaker 2: lethal injection drugs.
Speaker 3: So you can get back on that. You can get back.
Speaker 2: On the old death bandwagon.
Speaker 1: Some Trump fighters who have filed lawsuits basically before the
Speaker 1: signatures were dry, they are going to throw the legal
Speaker 1: book at him. Their argument is that some of these
Speaker 1: executive orders are out of the reach of the president's pen.
Speaker 1: These are orders that many believe could be tied up
Speaker 1: in courts or legislatures for years, including ending the birthright citizenship.
Speaker 1: This is embedded in the Constitution, and it has also
Speaker 1: the stamp of the Supreme Court that grants citizenship to
Speaker 1: anyone born in the United States. The Gulf of Mexico
Speaker 1: will get into in the next hour. Becoming the Gulf
Speaker 1: of America is another one that's going to face some
Speaker 1: legal challenges.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 2: Oh, today we have our new swamp Watch sounder.
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, that's right.
Speaker 3: Eleven o'clock we have the new swamp Watch sounder.
Speaker 1: I didn't think yesterday could get any better until I
Speaker 1: got your text message sharing the new sounder with me.
Speaker 3: You're the only one who's heard it.
Speaker 1: I was very excited about that. I get very excited
Speaker 1: about pieces of production.
Speaker 2: I played it for my wife just because I wanted
Speaker 2: to hear if there was something I was you.
Speaker 4: Wanted to get her in the mood.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's really what really turns her on is
Speaker 2: a lot of random political sound bites.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and a nice fancy little music pad. Uh.
Speaker 7: Huh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she loves a music show.
Speaker 3: She loves a good multi track.
Speaker 1: You're damn right she does, as long as your levels
Speaker 1: are right. If your levels are not right, but only
Speaker 1: if no sexy time.
Speaker 2: We will follow the first full day of the Trump administration.
Speaker 2: The new Secretary secretary No yeah, Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt
Speaker 2: has said that she doesn't have a briefing plan from
Speaker 2: the White House press room, but she is expecting President
Speaker 2: Trump to come out and have a speech about infrastructure.
Speaker 2: We're not quite sure exactly what that's going to entail.
Speaker 7: Hey, Gary Shannon, Hey, this is Bob for Sureman Oak, Hi, Bob.
Speaker 7: I watched all the morning news shows this morning, and
Speaker 7: not one of them talked about him. Trump not putting
Speaker 7: his hand on the Bible when he was swearing in,
Speaker 7: so I don't think he's my president.
Speaker 1: I did notice that because you mentioned the bibles he
Speaker 1: was going to use right before he took the oath.
Speaker 1: You were talking about it right up until he took
Speaker 1: the oath. And I'm looking for the Bibles. I don't
Speaker 1: see the Bibles. I say, where are the Bibles?
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter what there's nothing.
Speaker 1: Forget about God. He said it you don't forget, don't
Speaker 1: do that.
Speaker 3: But there's nothing in there. He doesn't have to have
Speaker 3: his hand on it.
Speaker 2: But where were the Bibles in their hand? The whole
Speaker 2: thing was it was something about they were pressed for time.
Speaker 2: So John Roberts was like, we kinda he's tapping this
Speaker 2: hit wristwatch, like we don't want to not have a president,
Speaker 2: although it doesn't technically is the president whether he takes
Speaker 2: the oath or not. So that was part of it.
Speaker 2: So I think they weren't. They were still doing a
Speaker 2: little though. There's a stage direction with trying to get
Speaker 2: Milania in the right place at the right time. So
Speaker 2: there are pictures of him starting the oath and she's
Speaker 2: nowhere to be found. Then halfway through she rolls up
Speaker 2: and she's got the two Bibles, and he still got
Speaker 2: his left hand down by his side.
Speaker 1: Malani has the Bibles. Yeah wait, and it's not her fault.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I'm more worried about the Bibles
Speaker 1: than I am the wife.
Speaker 4: But I mean, you know, you.
Speaker 2: Got to Bob, he's your president job. I mean, to
Speaker 2: Bob's point, there's there's no I.
Speaker 1: Don't think I have ever seen not somebody is somebody
Speaker 1: not put their hand on the Bible in that moment.
Speaker 2: Well, as long as there's been TV and pictures of
Speaker 2: people taking the inaugural oath.
Speaker 1: They've had their hand on the on the Bible. And
Speaker 1: he had two Bibles, but a hand on none of them.
Speaker 2: It's been it's been a common it's been common since
Speaker 2: the late eighteen hundreds, I think, but not a requirement
Speaker 2: at all.
Speaker 3: It's just a thing that.
Speaker 1: The tradition think that that would be one of the
Speaker 1: things that you made sure to do.
Speaker 4: I would, I would make sure my.
Speaker 2: Head, I said in his own speech, we can't forget
Speaker 2: about God, the God.
Speaker 5: Garry Shannon, I need you guys to kind of something
Speaker 5: I'm confused about. Yeah, I am right now seventy years old,
Speaker 5: and I don't remember ever hearing the term particularly dangerous
Speaker 5: situation being used in the weather report. I mean, am
Speaker 5: I correct or am I wrong? Or are we just
Speaker 5: getting so politically correct even with our well, you.
Speaker 1: Know what, to your point, sir, when we had that
Speaker 1: forecast on Monday two weeks ago, when they said it
Speaker 1: was dangerous wind event, life threatening wind event, it was that,
Speaker 1: And you know what, in that moment, it felt absolutely true,
Speaker 1: it did not feel like hyperbole the way that it's
Speaker 1: felt with the polar vortex and the bomb cyclone and
Speaker 1: the Arctic blast, all of that stuff, which just sounds
Speaker 1: like winter and New England. When we got that forecast,
Speaker 1: you and I sat here and we thought, this is
Speaker 1: not the boy cried wolf, this is legit. And sooner
Speaker 1: rather than later, the palisades erupted in fire and the
Speaker 1: ball got rolling.
Speaker 2: When I remember that term being used, I mean, obviously,
Speaker 2: this is the sixth time I think in the last
Speaker 2: two three months that that's been used here, and previously
Speaker 2: the only other time it had been used was twenty
Speaker 2: eleven or twenty fourteen. It's been a long time that
Speaker 2: we've since we've had that combination of factors that turn
Speaker 2: it into what they call this particularly dangerous situation. But
Speaker 2: the first time we had it in the fall winter
Speaker 2: last year, was leading up to that mountain fire over
Speaker 2: in More Park that started there and went really fast,
Speaker 2: I mean surprisingly fast in terms of its movement and
Speaker 2: its expansion. So when we started getting them again, and
Speaker 2: when we saw that on January sixth into the seventh,
Speaker 2: it did hit a little different and we said it,
Speaker 2: I mean, there was something. We're quick, because we're both pessimistic,
Speaker 2: cynical people were quick to dismiss a lot of those things.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you there was something different about that, and
Speaker 1: I'll tell you the difference. The difference is those forecasts
Speaker 1: came from meteorologists and firefighters. The Arctic blast, the bomb cyclone,
Speaker 1: and all the rest, that autrepheric river, that all comes
Speaker 1: from the media that just praise on you being in fear.
Speaker 1: That's all television, double double Doppler, boner, boner, boner xxx radar.
Speaker 4: That's weather fear porn. That's exactly what it is.
Speaker 1: I don't listen to any of that crap because it's
Speaker 1: I don't know, winter in the Northeast. But when you've
Speaker 1: got firefighters and local meteorologists telling you we're screwed, we're
Speaker 1: probably screwed.
Speaker 4: And that's the difference.
Speaker 2: I'm actually kind of amazed that we have not seen
Speaker 2: more instances of arson because of the dangerous situations that
Speaker 2: we have, and because we've seen how quickly these fires
Speaker 2: have spread. There was a guy yesterday arrested on suspicion
Speaker 2: of arson after a brush fire broke out just under
Speaker 2: Griffith Park Observatory. Who's seen by a witness setting a
Speaker 2: fire in the area, and he is the ninth person
Speaker 2: taken into custody forged allegedly starting some of the small fires.
Speaker 1: A week ago, a woman was arrested after setting multiple
Speaker 1: piles of rubbish and trash on fire. When she was arrested,
Speaker 1: she admitted to the officers to setting the fires and
Speaker 1: said she enjoyed causing chaos and destruction. She's like John,
Speaker 1: but with fire. He likes chaos. He'll be the first
Speaker 1: to tell you. Yeah, I don't think he's a big
Speaker 1: fire guy. Though another sauspect arrested earlier on the same day,
Speaker 1: started a fire in a tree. He said he liked
Speaker 1: the smell of burning leaves. See, some of these people
Speaker 1: are just cuckoo pants. Not all, are you know, the
Speaker 1: uh malicious arsonists who.
Speaker 3: Would not also qualify you as a cuckoo pants.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but a calculated cuckoo pants psychopath.
Speaker 2: Someone who's not also dealing with some sort of a
Speaker 2: mental crisis perhaps.
Speaker 1: I mean, all murderers are clearly not wired correctly, but
Speaker 1: some of them can be functional murderers. They appear to
Speaker 1: be normal.
Speaker 3: That's a good point.
Speaker 2: Crazy just what you're shooting for you, You're shooting for
Speaker 2: functional murderer if you have killed anyone.
Speaker 3: No, but I do see it in your future.
Speaker 2: Really sure? I think you could do. Who do you
Speaker 2: think I would knock off? Well, I'm not sure which
Speaker 2: arena you want me to start with. You want to
Speaker 2: start with your work life or your personal life?
Speaker 1: Oh, I'll take one from each camp.
Speaker 2: This has raised a question, though, who do you think
Speaker 2: is the best weather person in LA? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So the Weather Channel is swooping in to some local
Speaker 1: TV markets. Let's see Tara Hout, Indiana is one of them,
Speaker 1: where they're getting rid of the local weather people and
Speaker 1: just piping in the National Weather Service people. And I
Speaker 1: think this is going to be a big deal. I
Speaker 1: think this is going to be a national nightmare. They're
Speaker 1: doing this in Medford, Oregon. Yeah, my hometown. You get
Speaker 1: into those small towns and you get rid of the
Speaker 1: local weather person. Holy hell, Hell, hath no fury then
Speaker 1: getting rid of a local weather person.
Speaker 2: I have an interesting Okay, we'll talk about it when
Speaker 2: we come back, and let us know who you think
Speaker 2: is your favorite.
Speaker 4: All time of all time, of all time.
Speaker 3: Doesn't even have to.
Speaker 1: Be right now, It could be KTV. Do you circ
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety one?
Speaker 3: How about Mark Thompson?
Speaker 4: How about Mark Thompson did dancing weather guy.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that.
Speaker 2: Leave us a talkback message to let us know who
Speaker 2: you think is your favorite Oh you think let us
Speaker 2: know who is your favorite weather person? Here in LA
Speaker 2: The talkback feature on the iHeart app is just right there,
Speaker 2: little microphone button.
Speaker 3: Hit that button, Leave us a message and we'll get it.
Speaker 1: Do you remember Bill Gates and Steve Baumer dancing at
Speaker 1: the Windows ninety five launch. Do you not Elon Musk
Speaker 1: put on a really good act too yesterday?
Speaker 4: Did you see him dancing on stage?
Speaker 3: Listen?
Speaker 2: Anytime that guy makes any sort of physical movement, Oh
Speaker 2: my gosh, whether it's dancing or the my heart goes
Speaker 2: out to you and everybody thinks he's he's.
Speaker 1: Hitler, Hitler, salute it, all of it. But his dancing,
Speaker 1: My god. There's got to be some sort of boot
Speaker 1: camp for tech geniuses.
Speaker 2: Nope, you could do that.
Speaker 1: You could do what you could go in there like
Speaker 1: Steve Gregory went into agencies taught him how to do
Speaker 1: press conferences. You could go into the tech world and
Speaker 1: teach him how to shake their booty.
Speaker 3: Just do the low.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but can we get a little booty? Do we
Speaker 1: get a little booty action? I mean the song? Oh
Speaker 1: not a not a performance, very.
Speaker 3: A forward, very fro. How come it's not working?
Speaker 4: Oh, your booty doesn't work in the new year.
Speaker 3: I don't have to change that. Wow, fix that.
Speaker 1: That is unfortunate, But it happens to the best of us,
Speaker 1: doesn't it.
Speaker 2: Well, there was no weather the Weather Channel meteorologists at
Speaker 2: twenty seven local news stations. This is not here, This
Speaker 2: is not la necessarily, but twenty seven local news stations
Speaker 2: facing uncertainty about their jobs after a new local weather
Speaker 2: initiative that they have teamed up with the Weather Channel.
Speaker 1: They're getting rid of local news, They're getting rid of
Speaker 1: local weather and no good.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 1: One of the things that I noticed when we were
Speaker 1: doing fire coverage is how important it was to have
Speaker 1: local weather people telling us what's going on. People who
Speaker 1: actually know the area, know the land, know the history
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 4: Right. That's why we had Henry de Carlo on.
Speaker 1: He could really break down exactly to a granular, granular level,
Speaker 1: what is going on and why with those mountain waves
Speaker 1: and the precipitation at the top of the mountains and
Speaker 1: what those meant for winds as they make their way
Speaker 1: down into the populated areas. And then we would talk
Speaker 1: to meteorologists throughout the week who were not based.
Speaker 4: Here, and it was freaking stark. It was night and day.
Speaker 1: People who don't know your area and the history of
Speaker 1: your area have no business doing your weather well.
Speaker 2: And I think there's also an assumption about LA Weather
Speaker 2: or southern California in general, where if you're from Minnesota,
Speaker 2: you know you do negative nine in international falls every
Speaker 2: other Tuesday in January that you look at California, you go,
Speaker 2: how rough could it be? Your low temperature is going
Speaker 2: to be fifty four and you're high is going to
Speaker 2: be seventy four?
Speaker 3: How difficult is life there?
Speaker 1: They don't understand the Santa Ana Wins. I grew up
Speaker 1: in northern California and didn't know about Santa Ana Wins
Speaker 1: in the same state. How is somebody on the East
Speaker 1: Coast gonna know, or somebody in Atlanta, because that's where
Speaker 1: the Weather Channel is operating out of meteorologists at the
Speaker 1: Weather Channel in Atlanta will be producing content for local
Speaker 1: stations across the country. And I think people are gonna
Speaker 1: freaking riot. I think this is going to make the
Speaker 1: Capitol Riot look like a bake sale.
Speaker 2: A guy named Josh Franzen is a meteorologist with KWWL
Speaker 2: in Iowa, is among those facing layoffs at the station.
Speaker 2: He wrote on X I want to share our station
Speaker 2: as one of those impacted. To my viewers and those
Speaker 2: of you who have been on, who have been on
Speaker 2: Franny's report since day one, thank you. I guess Iowa
Speaker 2: was another one of those states where it counts. Your
Speaker 2: weather counts, and whether it's you're a farmer and you
Speaker 2: got to figure out what's going on for your crops
Speaker 2: and your cattle, or you just live somewhere outside of
Speaker 2: Sioux City and you're trying to make sure that the
Speaker 2: tornadoes don't destroy you your house. No, I mean, these
Speaker 2: these are important things. So we asked who is your
Speaker 2: favorite meteorologist here in southern California. Surprising, surprising, Dallas rain
Speaker 2: may be bumped off for some national news that.
Speaker 3: Are not no Dallas rains. I think is going to
Speaker 3: be fine. George Fishbeck is my favorite weather.
Speaker 2: Guy, Doctor George Fishbeck. Oh yeah, blind spot for me
Speaker 2: because we weren't here in the eighties, we were up
Speaker 2: in northern California.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we were listening to Frank Summerville weather anchor on
Speaker 1: KTVU from nineteen sixty nine till nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: He was the lead anchor of the ten pm weeknight
Speaker 1: newscast as well in nineteen ninety one. Bill Martin was
Speaker 1: a guy I remember from KTVU in the nineties.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And of course Mark Thompson, Mark THOMASR. Thompson was
Speaker 2: up there when we were up there.
Speaker 8: Do you know what I've got here? A list of
Speaker 8: fourty five But we don't get lists like this very often.
Speaker 8: Forty five record breakers around the country. I'll just read
Speaker 8: one or two Bakersfield at A ninety seven boys the
Speaker 8: idah ninety two.
Speaker 2: That's doctor George fishback from Channel seven here back in
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 3: So I was an am. I didn't know Rains.
Speaker 6: He always looks good, Dallas Ring and as much as
Speaker 6: they put beautiful sexy weather girls up there, he has
Speaker 6: managed to hang in there.
Speaker 3: So Dallas Rains, Dallas Rains is one of those guys.
Speaker 3: My favorite local TV weatherman was doctor George fishback yep.
Speaker 8: Now followed by Dallas Rains and Henry de Carlo.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Henry DeCarlo.
Speaker 3: Henry.
Speaker 1: It's funny because my husband used to really like Jackie Johnson.
Speaker 1: I think he like followed her around when he evening
Speaker 1: at the Golden Mics. It was uncomfortable for everybody, but
Speaker 1: then moved off Jackie Johnson to Henry de Carlo, so
Speaker 1: he doesn't discriminate.
Speaker 3: Tastes change. I suppose I.
Speaker 8: Would have to go with doctor George Fishbeck from in
Speaker 8: the early seventies and eighties period.
Speaker 7: He was a hoot.
Speaker 3: Thank you exclamation point.
Speaker 2: I typed in to google this term best weather person
Speaker 2: Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: Huh wait, don't tell us, we'll do it after the break.
Speaker 2: You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show. You
Speaker 2: can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty
Speaker 2: nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday, and
Speaker 2: anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
