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 linep.
Speaker 2: A couple of deaths of politicians. You make your own
Speaker 2: decision if it's good or bad. Alan Simpson, Republican from Wyoming,
Speaker 2: served three terms in the Senate, died at the age
Speaker 2: of ninety three. The reason I put that in there
Speaker 2: is because he helped pass an immigration reform bill, really
Speaker 2: the last one we had, which was nineteen eighty six,
Speaker 2: and he said it was like quote, giving dry birth
Speaker 2: to a porcupine.
Speaker 1: Who said that A man said that.
Speaker 3: Alan Simpson, former Senator.
Speaker 2: And the other one is Congressman Raoul Grialva out of Arizona,
Speaker 2: sirt eleven terms in Congress.
Speaker 3: Died at the age of seventy seven.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever heard a man use a
Speaker 1: birthing reference, and in such a such a colorful one
Speaker 1: at that.
Speaker 2: I'm sure John Kennedy, the Senator out of Louisiana, he's
Speaker 2: got a very thick accent. He has some pretty colorful euphemisms.
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's probably got a couple in there, But
Speaker 2: giant volcano in Alaska is showing signs of an impending eruption.
Speaker 2: Elevated levels of volcanic gas emissions recently observed around Mount
Speaker 2: Spur It's about seventy five miles from Anchorage. The Alaska
Speaker 2: Volcano Observatory said the emissions confirm that new magna magma
Speaker 2: is flowing beneath the volcano and that indicates a foreseeable eruption.
Speaker 2: They say, it's Friday. Don't forget what you learned this
Speaker 2: week on the Gary and Channon Show. We've been spitting
Speaker 2: mad facts all week. You're damn right, we are, so
Speaker 2: let us know what it is that you learned this
Speaker 2: week while learning while listening to the garyan Shannon Chow,
Speaker 2: you can leave us a talk back on the iHeart app.
Speaker 1: Amy, I feel like you need to stay for the
Speaker 1: whole day just to like get us through this.
Speaker 4: Because Devra's Devra's in here and she's too sad to speak.
Speaker 1: I know Deborah is not. I love Debora, but I
Speaker 1: don't feel like she is going to make us feel. Amy,
Speaker 1: you have the foremost knowledge on these eagles, so you
Speaker 1: know there behavior, you know their pattern of behavior. You've
Speaker 1: gone through several different litters of Eaglitz. You know what
Speaker 1: goes on now. I have gotten intel from someone who
Speaker 1: has animals and says that it's not uncommon for one
Speaker 1: of the parent eagles to rid the nest of our
Speaker 1: dearly departed.
Speaker 4: That can happen too. They can leave them or they
Speaker 4: can remove them.
Speaker 2: But I go back to my I mean, not that
Speaker 2: it hasn't happened yet, but if it has happened, or
Speaker 2: it had happened overnight, we would probably have seen it.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 3: This is the actual removal of.
Speaker 1: But it could have been. I mean, these are big birds,
Speaker 1: Jackie in shadow. It could have been just like I mean,
Speaker 1: kind of like when you shut the door with your
Speaker 1: bottom sometimes when you just you can do a lot
Speaker 1: of things with that thing. I mean, I've seen you
Speaker 1: move things around. I can make money with that thing.
Speaker 1: You could do that as well. There's a whole lot
Speaker 1: of money in this mfort. But theoretically, even with night vision,
Speaker 1: one of these birds could have just the way you
Speaker 1: move your butt. They could have just done that with
Speaker 1: their tail feathers and the uh, you know, earth suit
Speaker 1: is out of the nest because these are just our
Speaker 1: earth suits, you know that, right, our earth suit Right?
Speaker 2: The meat casing that we have around our souls right now?
Speaker 2: Is that what you're exactly?
Speaker 1: You put it much more eloquently than I could have ever,
Speaker 1: because the eglid is still with us, this meat.
Speaker 3: Suit that has become our immortal coil.
Speaker 2: Is that that's what you're referring to this if this
Speaker 2: bag of bones, and yeah, it.
Speaker 3: Doesn't mean anything meats. Can you not.
Speaker 1: Reference your juices ever? Again? That would be great. That's
Speaker 1: a little lenten wish I have.
Speaker 3: Can you go forty days without mentioning your juice? Please?
Speaker 3: Forty days? That's all I asked.
Speaker 1: I'd like to be in the desert where there are
Speaker 1: no Jesus. All right, listen, grief makes us all behave differently.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, for those who haven't been paying attention, there
Speaker 2: are supposed to be three eagles in the nest and
Speaker 2: big bear there as of this morning, appeared to be
Speaker 2: only two that we can see.
Speaker 1: But they're happy and they're healthy and they're eating and.
Speaker 3: It's and it's and it's nature.
Speaker 1: It's nature, you guys. We knew that this was gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Was it just a week ago amy that the third
Speaker 1: eagle hatched? Wasn't it also Friday, Saturday.
Speaker 4: It was Yeah, it was over the weekends.
Speaker 5: Oh was it?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so he's only been around for a little while.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right.
Speaker 3: Again, I am not laughing.
Speaker 2: There are seventy six thousand people looking at this on
Speaker 2: YouTube right now. But one of the comments is we
Speaker 2: are observers of nature and do not know the entire
Speaker 2: of the current situation. We are holding our eagle family
Speaker 2: in our hearts and sending love to our friends of
Speaker 2: Big Bear Valley community worldwide.
Speaker 4: It is a worldwide thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I talked to a friend who I haven't talked to
Speaker 4: for like six months last yesterday and I said, hey,
Speaker 4: have you heard about our eagles? She goes, oh, I
Speaker 4: watch them all the time. She's like living in northern California.
Speaker 3: Well, and listen, I'm not.
Speaker 2: I also completely am drawn in by the idyllic pictures
Speaker 2: that we've seen from this camera. It's unbelievable that this
Speaker 2: happens in trees around Big Bear and we get to
Speaker 2: see it happen on a regular basis, with the snow
Speaker 2: coming in and the parent eagles doing what parent eagles do.
Speaker 1: It's just I'm worried about Jackie, you know, and I
Speaker 1: know that the roles are blurred, but it's notable that
Speaker 1: the dad is there with the remaining children and that
Speaker 1: Jackie is not there doing whatever she needs to do.
Speaker 1: Why because she's probably sad about this. Wasn't she the
Speaker 1: one on watch when this Soundles don't do sad. They
Speaker 1: don't do sad. There's no time, you know.
Speaker 4: I disagree because again when in years past, when we've
Speaker 4: seen and want, like I think it was spirits brother
Speaker 4: or sister died, I mean, after that one died, Jackie
Speaker 4: would just sit and stare at it. I mean like
Speaker 4: she was just and I know, but see that she
Speaker 4: that was her lot, like she remembers that. Probably they're
Speaker 4: very smart, right, she probably remembers that, and this is
Speaker 4: bringing it back.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: My head hurts right now.
Speaker 2: I cannot tell you how much my head hurts.
Speaker 4: Because you're sad?
Speaker 2: Is that I don't know how to name my feelings,
Speaker 2: so I say things like my head hurts, Oh, my
Speaker 2: chest hurts, it's so tight right now? Why where did
Speaker 2: you go? What's happening over there? She can't handle it.
Speaker 2: She's sad. When we come back, Gavin Newsom, guess who's
Speaker 2: making a guess who's making a bronze bust of Gavin Newsom. Yes,
Speaker 2: you're right, Gavin Newsom is what absolute arrogance and if
Speaker 2: he has the power to say no, melt that thing
Speaker 2: down and turn it into I thought.
Speaker 1: You were doing a bit. This is a true story
Speaker 1: of Gavin Usom getting a golden bust bronze.
Speaker 2: It wouldn't be gold, it would be bronze. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: claims that he has no idea, he had no idea
Speaker 2: that this was being done.
Speaker 3: Oh, this is asinine.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Well, the judge from Orange County shot and killed his
Speaker 1: wife after a night of a couple and more pops.
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Ferguson has gone and done an interview with NBC
Speaker 1: LA don't do that.
Speaker 3: Nara, did you under the Oh, I'm sorry, I tease
Speaker 3: the GAVI.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Yeah, we'll do that. We'll do the judge
Speaker 1: thing coming up next. Sorry, I'm not paying attention.
Speaker 3: Listen.
Speaker 1: We a lot.
Speaker 3: I'm lucky you're still here. Usually you leave. It's okay,
Speaker 3: it's like a free form Friday. You know, there's a
Speaker 3: lot of this. Thank you for acknowledging, well.
Speaker 1: I didn't know there was going to be a death
Speaker 1: in the family, and affirm if we don't know, if
Speaker 1: it's a death, it's just simply a missing. Amy pretty
Speaker 1: much said that we should not have false hope, is
Speaker 1: what she said, and I protecting using our feeling. I
Speaker 1: trust that. Yeah. Is it weird If I like show
Speaker 1: up at Amy's house this afternoon and her can I
Speaker 1: stay the night?
Speaker 2: And she she's very comforted. She broods over you, she
Speaker 2: sits on you.
Speaker 1: I kind of did envision like a cuddling situation. That's weird,
Speaker 1: I know, all right.
Speaker 3: There's a new book out called Fool's Gold.
Speaker 2: The Radicals, con artists and traders who killed the California
Speaker 2: Dream and now threaten us all.
Speaker 3: That's quite a name for a book.
Speaker 2: It's written by Jed McPhatter and Susan Crabtree, and they
Speaker 2: go after all kinds of politicians in the state of California.
Speaker 2: Needless to say, one of their favorite targets is going
Speaker 2: to be California Governor Gavin Newsom. He has been pointed
Speaker 2: out for secretly paying for his own monument at San
Speaker 2: Francisco City Hall to commemorate his time as mayor.
Speaker 3: We all know the glorious years.
Speaker 2: Between two thousand and four and twenty eleven when Gavin
Speaker 2: Newsom was the mayor of San Francisco, married to Kimberly Gilfoyle,
Speaker 2: who then made some time with Don Trump Junior and
Speaker 2: is now the ambassador to Greece on behalf of the administration.
Speaker 2: So the way that they say he did this is
Speaker 2: he put together a memorial to his time as mayor
Speaker 2: with the help of donors, and that he used something
Speaker 2: called behested payments. We've seen that term before, We've talked
Speaker 2: about it here in California when it comes to politics.
Speaker 2: Behested payments are a contribution made by a donor that
Speaker 2: the politician asks them to make on their behalf. That's
Speaker 2: like Shannon Farren goes to Chevron and says, could you
Speaker 2: give five thousand dollars to the friends of Big Bear
Speaker 2: Valley on my behalf. That way you don't have to
Speaker 2: use your campaign money. Chevron gets a little bit of
Speaker 2: a favor in your mind because they're doing something to
Speaker 2: help you out. The book says that Gavin Newsom showed
Speaker 2: three private organizations donated to a nonprofit that was earmarked
Speaker 2: for mayoral bust at San Francisco City Hall. Two of
Speaker 2: those three private organizations are companies that are owned by
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 1: You guys, this is so embarrassing. Can you imagine paying for,
Speaker 1: or just knowing that a bust of your likeness was
Speaker 1: being produced, and that you asked for money to produce
Speaker 1: said bust, and then it became public that you did that.
Speaker 1: That is upper echelon embarrassment. That's upper echelon narcissism.
Speaker 2: Yes, Balboa Cafe Partners and Plump Jack Management Group are
Speaker 2: the two organizations owned by Gavin Newsom. They donated about
Speaker 2: ten percent of the total price. It's not a lot
Speaker 2: when you look at the whole cost, by the way,
Speaker 2: ninety seven thousand dollars for this. They donated a combined
Speaker 2: ten thousand for it. He has also asked that behested
Speaker 2: payments go towards projects run by his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom.
Speaker 2: The fact that this is allowed a is absolutely crazy.
Speaker 2: The fact that he continues to do it on a
Speaker 2: regular basis is insane. And the third most ludicrous aspect
Speaker 2: of this is that it goes to a bronze bust
Speaker 2: of himself.
Speaker 1: How much money is this again? How much money did this.
Speaker 3: One hundred thousand dollars total? It's not ninety seven thousand.
Speaker 1: Total thousand dollars for a bust a bust for his
Speaker 1: time as mayor of the great City of San Francisco.
Speaker 1: It would go a lot further if he raised ninety
Speaker 1: seven thousand dollars for someone and gave them like a
Speaker 1: life for a year, like you know, you don't have
Speaker 1: to worry about anything. Let's see like almost like they
Speaker 1: do in Vallejo or some of those pilot programs where
Speaker 1: they give people basic incomes and see what they can
Speaker 1: do when they're not worried about keeping the lights on.
Speaker 1: If you had it like your own pilot project for
Speaker 1: your office, and you gave somebody who a mom of three,
Speaker 1: single mom of three, who's had to just keep the
Speaker 1: lights on, if you gave her one hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 1: to where she could do whatever, whether it's get education,
Speaker 1: go to work, fulfill a dream, write a book, write
Speaker 1: a poet, whatever, Like how cool would that be moving
Speaker 1: forward with your political career? Like this is what happens.
Speaker 1: And I saw it myself with in my district when
Speaker 1: we found somebody and she was deserving this money, and
Speaker 1: we scrambled together ninety seven thousand dollars and we gave
Speaker 1: her that luxury of not having to worry about keeping
Speaker 1: the lights on. And look what she did with that year. Well, like,
Speaker 1: I mean, whoa, I would vote for you twice on Sunday.
Speaker 2: Even if those organizations are doing that stuff, even if
Speaker 2: they have those great programs that I think would be
Speaker 2: celebrated by everybody, the fact that they do stupid s
Speaker 2: like that, right, right.
Speaker 1: It's all about all absolutely does exactly my point, exactly.
Speaker 1: This is what you're going to remember, all right. What
Speaker 1: an enforced error too.
Speaker 2: For the first time, that judge who stood trial for
Speaker 2: his wife's murder speaking out. We'll talk about what he says.
Speaker 2: Jeffrey ferguson what he said actually happened the night that
Speaker 2: his wife done.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Well, the good judge in Orange County who was not
Speaker 1: so good when he got drunk, shot and killed his
Speaker 1: wife after dinner a couple of years ago, has done
Speaker 1: an interview now with NBCLA. This was the man at
Speaker 1: the center of a trial that hung. It was a
Speaker 1: hung jury that deliberated for more hours than it heard
Speaker 1: evidence in this case of the judge who went out
Speaker 1: to dinner with his wife and son, had a couple
Speaker 1: of pops, came home, got into an argument. He says
Speaker 1: it was an accident that the gun that he's legally
Speaker 1: able to carry went off as he was in the
Speaker 1: process of putting it away. That was not what prosecutors argued.
Speaker 1: They argued that they were in a heated argument and
Speaker 1: he shot and killed her. In fact, he did text
Speaker 1: his bailiff and his court reporter right after saying I'm
Speaker 1: not going to be in tomorrow. I shot my wife.
Speaker 1: Sorry about that. He invited NBC into his home.
Speaker 3: I think the lawyers like this. You think his attorney's like, yes, really.
Speaker 1: Because he already has one hung jury, he drums up
Speaker 1: more support in his backyard or more sympathy by doing
Speaker 1: this interview if that's if that is in fact what
Speaker 1: he did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the hung jury, there was only one person
Speaker 2: that voted to a quit right for not guilty out
Speaker 2: of I mean, eleven to one is an overwhelming It's
Speaker 2: still a hung jury, but eleven to one is an
Speaker 2: overwhelming number of people that thought he was.
Speaker 1: Guilty, right, But like you've said, he's a judge. He's
Speaker 1: been doing this for thirty plus years. He knows what
Speaker 1: to say, he knows what not to say. His lawyers
Speaker 1: know that he knows what not to say to incriminate
Speaker 1: himself in the process of an interview. I think the
Speaker 1: only upside is some sympathy from the people who watch
Speaker 1: the evening news. Who are the people that watch the
Speaker 1: evening news, retired folks, Folks that are going to have
Speaker 1: the time to be on a jury the next jury,
Speaker 1: people that are going to see a like person in
Speaker 1: him at his age.
Speaker 2: It's not a bad move. He did say that eleven
Speaker 2: to one count was a blow to his emotions.
Speaker 1: Play on people's emotions, look at us with the gd Eagliz,
Speaker 1: and that it was like being in a Twilight Zone
Speaker 1: episode where he said, it's like you're snatched out of
Speaker 1: your reality.
Speaker 2: You're plunked down without any warning into a completely different world,
Speaker 2: and a world that's not particularly friendly to you.
Speaker 1: That's what happens when you get trigger happy at point
Speaker 1: two alcohol level and you shoot and kill your wife.
Speaker 1: You wake up and go, uh, oh wait, what what
Speaker 1: did I?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: No, well, now this.
Speaker 2: Part of the problem for him is that the most
Speaker 2: damning testimony came from his own son, because I guess
Speaker 2: the sun was at dinner with them. The Fergusons and
Speaker 2: their son, Philip, went to the restaurant they went to
Speaker 2: El Cholo earlier in that day. Cheryl left after Jeffrey
Speaker 2: Ferguson made a hand gesture mimicking a gun during an
Speaker 2: argument later their home. Philip testified this is the son
Speaker 2: testified that he heard his mother say something to the
Speaker 2: effect of why don't you point a real gun at me?
Speaker 2: And then he told police, and this was on video
Speaker 2: and became part of the evidence. He told police, I quote,
Speaker 2: I turned around and he pulls out a gun and
Speaker 2: aims at her and fires. The account from the judge
Speaker 2: was he was pulling this glock handgun out of his
Speaker 2: ankle holster and it accidentally discharged when he tried to
Speaker 2: put it on a coffee table that was cluttered like
Speaker 2: he was trying to move stuff out of the way,
Speaker 2: and put the gun down on the table.
Speaker 3: Why do you do that.
Speaker 1: You only put the gun. You only take the gun
Speaker 1: out of your holster and put it down on a table.
Speaker 1: During a drug deal with the mafia.
Speaker 2: If you're right, if you're trying, if you're proving a
Speaker 2: point he is to use it, that would be one
Speaker 2: reason you'd take it out, And the other reason would
Speaker 2: be to take it out to intimidate something.
Speaker 3: She knows he's got it on his ankle. She knows
Speaker 3: all the time.
Speaker 2: They you don't not know that about your spouse, especially
Speaker 2: if he's had a concealed carry permit for twenty years
Speaker 2: or how how long he had it point oh six,
Speaker 2: by the way, when it was measured after the shooting, which.
Speaker 1: Means that when the time of the shooting, that was
Speaker 1: more like point one point seven, which means at the
Speaker 1: time of Yeah, I mean, and is that a defense?
Speaker 1: I always go back to this, I always go back.
Speaker 1: I'm always a little bit. I come down a couple
Speaker 1: ways on drunk being a defense or something like this,
Speaker 1: you know, murder, you know murder because without the drinks
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have done that, right, But is that okay?
Speaker 1: That that's your defense? I mean, I always I always
Speaker 1: go back and forth with this, Well, no way drinking
Speaker 1: knowing that you could get to the level where you're
Speaker 1: gonna get you're gonna get into an argument and you
Speaker 1: know your personality enough to know you may grab your
Speaker 1: gun and make a bad decision. Is that enough?
Speaker 2: Isn't it funny the way different people respond onto being
Speaker 2: that drunk. I mean, because some people, some people do
Speaker 2: get violent, some people do get argumentative, some people get
Speaker 2: more arrogant, some people get louder, other people get quieter,
Speaker 2: like my family generally. I remember the very few times
Speaker 2: I ever saw my dad over what would be even
Speaker 2: a slight buzz, he would get happy, and he would
Speaker 2: smile a lot, and he would laugh at everything. And
Speaker 2: it was always And I've seen myself get over protective,
Speaker 2: like an extremely helpful, very helpful. Really, if I tell
Speaker 2: you a story about Hawaii, I think I told you.
Speaker 3: I may have told you this.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you when I come back about I got
Speaker 2: way too helpful.
Speaker 1: Oh, I can't wait. I'm excited because when I've seen
Speaker 1: you overserved, my husband's fault. He's an overserver. You get
Speaker 1: quiet and smiley dad, sometimes.
Speaker 3: You, and then there's another gear sometimes you.
Speaker 5: As you're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from
Speaker 5: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: President Trump is going to deliver a law and order
Speaker 2: speech today. The Justice Department we'll talk about that during
Speaker 2: Swamp Watch coming up. Also, the Democratic Party planning a
Speaker 2: bunch of town hall meetings in Republican held districts in
Speaker 2: all fifty states that will be coming up. A swatting
Speaker 2: call about an active shooter triggered a huge police response
Speaker 2: at Clairemont McKenna last night. This would be a day
Speaker 2: after a similar false report caused a panic and evacuation
Speaker 2: at Loma Limit Loma Linda Children's Hospital out in San
Speaker 2: Bernardino County.
Speaker 1: I knew there was something going on with the children
Speaker 1: with Gene Hackman, and I knew there was something going on,
Speaker 1: maybe some sort of contentious situation with the new wife,
Speaker 1: which wasn't really a new wife, Betsy Arakawa. They'd been
Speaker 1: married for several years since the nineties. I believe she's
Speaker 1: much younger. She's younger than his son, than his kids
Speaker 1: to his with his first wife. It just seemed to
Speaker 1: something odd. When the bodies were found and the kids
Speaker 1: right away said it's carbon monoxide, it was like, what's
Speaker 1: up with that? You haven't been there, that's your first reaction.
Speaker 1: You're telling reporters this, this is odd. Well, it turns
Speaker 1: out that the will, the will tells all, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: Gene Hackman left his eighty million dollar Hollywood fortune to
Speaker 1: that wife, Betsy, who was a trustee to his trust.
Speaker 1: We don't know if his three children were left anything
Speaker 1: in the will. It's a possible omission of the children
Speaker 1: who he was once estranged from. They said that this
Speaker 1: would have been and it still may continue to be
Speaker 1: a complete battle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because in her will it says, if my spouse
Speaker 2: does not survive me, I give the residue of my
Speaker 2: estate to my personal representative as a trustee to hold
Speaker 2: an administer and a charitable trust with she purposes. Blah
Speaker 2: blah blah. But nothing about the case. And I wonder
Speaker 2: if the I wonder if the chronology of the deaths matter,
Speaker 2: because she would have basically the medical examiner determined that
Speaker 2: she died first, so whatever would go from her would
Speaker 2: go into that trust.
Speaker 1: Fascinating. I didn't even think of that.
Speaker 2: And if I usually in the event of a trust,
Speaker 2: will and trust, there would be like all the scenarios
Speaker 2: would be planned out. If she precedes me in death,
Speaker 2: then then we do it this way. If I precede her,
Speaker 2: then we do it this way.
Speaker 1: Oh fascinating. I didn't think of that. So theoretically, like
Speaker 1: if she died first, maybe the what happens to trust?
Speaker 1: If it's just the two of them in that trust,
Speaker 1: then what happens to that if she dies and it
Speaker 1: all goes to If the kids aren't named in any
Speaker 1: will there, does it just go to them automatically?
Speaker 3: Or it could? It could? It depends.
Speaker 1: I think it depends on the state of New Mexico.
Speaker 1: The probate Court's got to handle this kind of thing.
Speaker 1: Fortunately they have it spelled out very clearly.
Speaker 2: Which could they could do, Like here's a series of
Speaker 2: charities distributed, even.
Speaker 1: Maybe the kids get nothing, Maybe it goes to the
Speaker 1: friends of Big Bear Valley.
Speaker 3: It's possible.
Speaker 2: So my story was that when I was in Hawaii,
Speaker 2: my wife and I went to Hawaii and stayed on Kawhai,
Speaker 2: the same place we stayed for our honeymoon. It was
Speaker 2: on our fifteenth anniversary, went back and stayed there for
Speaker 2: a week, and we go out on one of those
Speaker 2: dinner cruises on the sailboat you see the dolphins in.
Speaker 2: It was this recently ten years twelve years ago, I
Speaker 2: guess it was. And we go out on that dinner
Speaker 2: cruise and We don't know anybody. It's just the two
Speaker 2: of us with you know, a bunch of random strangers.
Speaker 2: And it turns out that we meet this couple from Boston.
Speaker 2: They were newlyweds and fun young couple. Funny stories. Right,
Speaker 2: We're sitting there and having a couple of beers and
Speaker 2: eat dinner and just having a blast.
Speaker 3: We're having a great time.
Speaker 2: I didn't realize how much I had to drink until
Speaker 2: it was time to get off of this sailboat and
Speaker 2: we pull into I think it's Port Adams, if I'm
Speaker 2: not mistaken. You pull the sailboat up to the pier,
Speaker 2: but it's not a safe it's not built for that sailboat,
Speaker 2: and it's not a great way to get off the boat.
Speaker 2: So there's a couple of steps they put up and
Speaker 2: then like a temporary step, and then you're on to
Speaker 2: the pier itself. And as people were getting off, they're
Speaker 2: slipping and they're uncou you know, they don't want people
Speaker 2: to fall, but the deckhands were off doing other stuff,
Speaker 2: you know, battening down hatchet and everyone soaked with rum.
Speaker 2: At this point, everyone's trashed. So I stand along the
Speaker 2: side of the steps. It's me and the captain of
Speaker 2: the ship on the other side of this staircase, right,
Speaker 2: and we're grabbing people's hands and helping them up off
Speaker 2: of the off of the sailboat onto the pier. And
Speaker 2: a few minutes later I look up and my wife
Speaker 2: is standing there with her hands on her hips. She
Speaker 2: didn't know where I was because she had gotten off.
Speaker 2: We were one of the first that was supposed to
Speaker 2: get off. I stopped midway getting off because I realized
Speaker 2: that people are gonna need help. She's walking around trying
Speaker 2: to find me like I had taken off.

Speaker 3: I'm just being a nice guy. Uh huh. So she says,
Speaker 3: the hell are you doing? Yeah, I'm just helping out
Speaker 3: people needed. People need help off of this boat. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 3: she drove home. Yeah I bet. Yeah.
Speaker 1: That would have pissed me off too. And then aren't
Speaker 1: you so helpful?
Speaker 2: Where are the keys to the car, because back when
Speaker 2: cars had keys.
Speaker 1: In the stranger's cleavage.
Speaker 2: Oh, I decided to double down on smart ass, and
Speaker 2: I said, they're in the key pocket.
Speaker 3: Honey. It was a cold night that night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet, maybe don't help strangers.
