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. Well, remember when George gascon through
Speaker 1: the Hail Mary to get the Menendez brothers out to
Speaker 1: save his seat at the La County DA's office.
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsome tried to get.
Speaker 1: In on it, tiptoed his way towards it in asking
Speaker 1: the Parole board to create a report about the Menendez brothers.
Speaker 1: Are they really that much of a threat? What would
Speaker 1: happen if we release them? What is the risk factor? Well,
Speaker 1: that report was done, and as this case made its
Speaker 1: way through this portion of the legal system, a judge
Speaker 1: most recently seemed poised to re sentence the brothers to
Speaker 1: life with the possibility for parole, to change their life
Speaker 1: without the possibility of parole, to fifty years to life
Speaker 1: with the possibility of parole. Well, that seemed to be
Speaker 1: what was going to happen today, as Michael Monks report
Speaker 1: in KFI News, today was the day that that judge
Speaker 1: was going to hear more arguments from the La County
Speaker 1: DA's office and the Menandez brothers attorney Mark Garragis no stranger.
Speaker 2: To us about this very matter.
Speaker 1: Well, late yesterday the DA's office said no, no, let's
Speaker 1: delay this because they got their hands on that report
Speaker 1: from the parole board.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they want to go through and review this.
Speaker 4: Finished parole board assessment see if there's anything in there
Speaker 4: that's going to help the bolster their case.
Speaker 2: Well, they have it, so they've reviewed it.
Speaker 3: Then why would they ask for a delay.
Speaker 2: Because the judge has yet to review it.
Speaker 3: Oh, they want the.
Speaker 1: Judge to take this mark Geregis is fighting this. So
Speaker 1: that leads me to believe being an armchair detective what
Speaker 1: does that even mean?
Speaker 2: Armchair detective?
Speaker 1: I don't know anyway, being an amateur sleuth as i am,
Speaker 1: it leads me to believe there's something in the report
Speaker 1: that the DA's office likes that Geagis does not.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that'll be interesting. It is a small court room.
Speaker 4: We were talking. We heard Michael talking with the handle
Speaker 4: about what was going on. There's only a handful of
Speaker 4: people that are going to be allowed into this thing
Speaker 4: to even view whatever's going on. If the judge does
Speaker 4: allow this, or if the judge does not grant the delay,
Speaker 4: this is supposed to take a couple of days of
Speaker 4: the current hearing that they're working.
Speaker 1: Well and Geagas is a grandstanding that's what he gets
Speaker 1: paid handsomely to do. But he says, is you heard
Speaker 1: Michael report that he doesn't think the judge.
Speaker 2: Will grant this delay. The judge will grant the delay.
Speaker 1: Geregas may still be able to present whatever he decided
Speaker 1: to present today, but the judge isn't going to make
Speaker 1: any sort of decision and the DA's office doesn't need
Speaker 1: to present anything today until the judge gets his hands
Speaker 1: on that report.
Speaker 4: Well, Michael Monks is at the courthouse Invan Eyes and
Speaker 4: is going to keep an eye on it.
Speaker 3: We'll talk with him next.
Speaker 2: Week, like what's in that report?
Speaker 1: If the DA's office likes it and Geggas does not.
Speaker 1: There's got to be something that the parole board about
Speaker 1: the Menendez brothers that makes them a bigger risk than
Speaker 1: initially thought. There's got to be something that they have
Speaker 1: done or not done or whatever inside that has led
Speaker 1: the Parole Board to put out something that Garrigus is afraid.
Speaker 4: Of, because the information that we've had about their time
Speaker 4: in prison at least last decade, has been positive. It's
Speaker 4: about college degrees. And about the work that they do
Speaker 4: and the volunteering and right, they.
Speaker 1: Were pissed off that the gravy train was ending and
Speaker 1: they wanted money, and they wanted to continue to do
Speaker 1: nothing and use their parents' money, and the parents said no,
Speaker 1: no more. So they were pissed off, little spoiled brats,
Speaker 1: and they premeditated the brutal murders of both their parents.
Speaker 1: And this whole yes, but they were molested. Evidence that
Speaker 1: was not even admissible in court for at least one
Speaker 1: of the trials has gained all of this attention thanks
Speaker 1: to Ryan Murphy's Netflix show.
Speaker 2: And it's just not true.
Speaker 1: It's the narrative that's got so much oxygen and it's
Speaker 1: just not true.
Speaker 4: Well, listen, you know, these days, we don't necessarily have
Speaker 4: to say things that are true.
Speaker 3: We just have to say things that people want to hear.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: Hey, I'll be the first to say, I just say
Speaker 1: things forcefully, I don't really know what I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: with just.
Speaker 3: A slightly aggressive tone, and it becomes believable.
Speaker 4: Exactly a lot going on today outside of the Menenda stuff,
Speaker 4: and again we'll talk about it again next hour. The
Speaker 4: Italian Prime Minister is meeting with Trump's cabinet at the
Speaker 4: White House today. Georgia Maloney has been referred to in
Speaker 4: many headlines this morning as the as Europe's Trump whisperer.
Speaker 4: They're going to be talking about tariffs, We'll be talking
Speaker 4: about what Jerome Powell has said and why this is
Speaker 4: not a great idea to get into a fight with.
Speaker 2: These Trump fire Jerome Powell.
Speaker 3: I don't think so, but even attempting to do so.
Speaker 4: This story just came out from Politico right before the
Speaker 4: show started that Scott Bessen, the Treasury Secretary, is telling
Speaker 4: the President, hey, cut with the whole, like, we hate
Speaker 4: the fed chair guy because the more pressure you put
Speaker 4: on on him, even more uncertainty gets injected into the markets,
Speaker 4: and we don't want any more of that stuff. If
Speaker 4: the President had said in a tweet or sorry truth
Speaker 4: social post today that he can't Powell's termination can't come
Speaker 4: soon enough, I don't know what but he's referring to.
Speaker 4: If he's saying he's going to try to fire him.
Speaker 4: The Jerome Powell's term is up next year, I believe.
Speaker 4: I don't know if he's just going to wait it out,
Speaker 4: or if he is going to if Trump is gonna
Speaker 4: wait it out, or if he's going to try to
Speaker 4: pressure him to do something, but all that's I don't know.
Speaker 4: And then we have a giant pinhead of a senator
Speaker 4: from Maryland who is in El Salvador trying to stand
Speaker 4: up for a guy who, even if he's wrongly deported,
Speaker 4: is not the guy that Democrats want on their reelect us.
Speaker 4: In twenty twenty six poster, this is the story about
Speaker 4: the guy from Maryland, Abrego Garcia, who is in the
Speaker 4: prison in El Salvador that was rounded up with a
Speaker 4: bunch of a gang members or alleged members and sent
Speaker 4: to El Salvador. Chris van Holland is the senator from
Speaker 4: Maryland who flew to El Salvador yesterday to try to
Speaker 4: I don't know who he thinks he is, but to
Speaker 4: try to meet with Abrego Garcia in the prison there.
Speaker 4: They don't allow that El Salvador is not the United States.
Speaker 4: And it doesn't matter if you have that great pin
Speaker 4: on your lapel that says you're a senator from the
Speaker 4: great state of Maryland.
Speaker 1: They they don't q.
Speaker 2: Photo op dog and pony shows.
Speaker 1: They don't care.
Speaker 3: Now now, he's not the first member of Congress.
Speaker 4: There have been I think at least two Republican members
Speaker 4: of Congress who have gone down there for the photo shoot.
Speaker 3: That is just another pinheaded waste of time.
Speaker 4: But Chris van Holland said he talked to the vice
Speaker 4: president of El Salvador because give me this robin, give
Speaker 4: me this computer over.
Speaker 3: Here, this thing right here there it is.
Speaker 6: And I said to the vice president of El Salvador, look,
Speaker 6: you've got somebody in your worst prison, the prison for terrorists,
Speaker 6: who the United States Court has said he has committed
Speaker 6: no crime. And so I asked him if he had
Speaker 6: any evidence that kill Mar was a member of MS
Speaker 6: thirteen or had committed any crimes.
Speaker 3: And he said no, all right.
Speaker 4: The idea that this guy is an MS thirteen member
Speaker 4: is based on some pretty flimsy evidence, but it is evidence.
Speaker 4: You can't say that there's no evidence. Not only do
Speaker 4: they have him connected to certain members of MS thirteen,
Speaker 4: they have an informant who gave up his rank in
Speaker 4: the gang.
Speaker 3: They gave up his street name in the gang.
Speaker 4: He's also a guy whose wife obtained a temporary protective
Speaker 4: order against him because he beat the crap out of her.
Speaker 4: At least once, probably twice. And then this woman, his
Speaker 4: now wife, she had the father of her two previous kids,
Speaker 4: also go to court to try to get a protective
Speaker 4: order against the guy because he was afraid for the
Speaker 4: lives of his children who were living with him at
Speaker 4: the time.
Speaker 3: This is not.
Speaker 4: A poster boy of like, just an innocent guy making
Speaker 4: a living and doing nothing but trying to achieve the
Speaker 4: American dream.
Speaker 1: We knew when this first came out that they nobody
Speaker 1: should be hanging their hat on this guy. There wasn't
Speaker 1: enough evidence to suggest that he was, you know, the
Speaker 1: poster child for their sending innocent people away. You know,
Speaker 1: there just wasn't enough evidence. Not enough people raised their
Speaker 1: hand and said, what a great guy. He's done this,
Speaker 1: this and this, you know, and so you kind of
Speaker 1: knew where this was headed.
Speaker 4: Well, and to me, this is a fixable problem. President
Speaker 4: Trump gets on the phone with his brand new friend,
Speaker 4: the president of al Salvador, who was just at the
Speaker 4: White House last week, and just say, hey, listen, we're
Speaker 4: going to send a plane down, Let's get this guy
Speaker 4: back up here. We're going to go through the whatever
Speaker 4: process they want us to go through, and we're going
Speaker 4: to deport him again.
Speaker 3: That's that that would.
Speaker 2: Be That's not the way he does things, But.
Speaker 4: That would be the way to keep all of this
Speaker 4: from flaming up in their faces. Both sides have got
Speaker 4: this thing completely wrong. It feels like.
Speaker 1: I see your story about a member of Congress and
Speaker 1: I raise you another one.
Speaker 3: Which one you know?
Speaker 2: Lou Correa?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the guy from Orange County?
Speaker 1: Sure been around forever. Sure do you know who his
Speaker 1: son is? Carlows Harlows Correa, the short stock? No, no,
Speaker 1: who Correa is a very popular last Okay?
Speaker 3: Who is it?
Speaker 1: A don from love on the spectrum? So that makes
Speaker 1: perfect sense because when you saw the dad on the FaceTime,
Speaker 1: didn't he look familiar to you?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 4: And it was like that looks like a someone's office,
Speaker 4: like an office that yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well then.
Speaker 2: That that fun It makes sense now right, Yeah.
Speaker 3: That closes a loop for me because that was one
Speaker 3: of those hanging chats that.
Speaker 1: I hadn't I'm like, why isn't the dad in the
Speaker 1: room and like he's school and like all over the place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he looks familiar and uh yeah, Lou Correa's son. Funny,
Speaker 2: look at that.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI.
Speaker 1: In the show The Potential Women Potential wives for the Farmers,
Speaker 1: there's four farmers, I think three farmers, four farmers.
Speaker 7: And.
Speaker 1: Not once, not twice, but maybe thrice, one of or
Speaker 1: several of the girls said to their perspective farmers or
Speaker 1: the producer or the camera, I really like how masculine
Speaker 1: he is, or I really like your masculine energy, or
Speaker 1: I like and I thought, it's not toxic. It's a pushback.
Speaker 1: It must be a pushback, and I embrace it because
Speaker 1: I too enjoy masculinity, and I don't enjoy it. Like
Speaker 1: I was pulling into the garage this morning, there was
Speaker 1: a guy walking across the street, young man, good looking
Speaker 1: young man, and he was wearing pink slingback crocs like
Speaker 1: tied eyed pink slingback crocs.
Speaker 4: Now you're you're not on the fall for the uh
Speaker 4: ironic wearing of the pink crocs like Jason Momoa, like Petros.
Speaker 1: Right, no, no, I don't fall for any of that crap.
Speaker 1: I cannot handle the crocs on anybody. You can be Petros,
Speaker 1: you can be Jason Momoa. You can be the most
Speaker 1: masculine masculine dude, and the crocs ruin it. But that's
Speaker 1: the whole point. Like I just I uh, that's maybe
Speaker 1: what was alluring to me, because these are all four
Speaker 1: guys who run farms, or at least they allegedly purport
Speaker 1: to run farms or have a hand in it. They're
Speaker 1: wearing boots, they're wearing hard pants, they're doing things, and
Speaker 1: the women were appreciating that. And I just don't think
Speaker 1: I've heard that for a handful of years now, because
Speaker 1: it's all been taught, like you said, all to masculinity.
Speaker 3: It's always bad.
Speaker 1: We want our men to hide their penises and swim
Speaker 1: with the girls. Like all of the things that I
Speaker 1: hear about are awful. So it's kind of an I
Speaker 1: guess that's why I I'm trying to rationalize why I
Speaker 1: watched the show.
Speaker 4: I don't have to rationalize anything. I don't think there's
Speaker 4: anything wrong with that. It's just to me a very
Speaker 4: big surprise that you would.
Speaker 2: Go that low sink that yeah far yeah.
Speaker 1: Maybe, Well, it's a dark time when hacks and friends
Speaker 1: and neighbors come out on Thursdays and Fridays.
Speaker 4: It's just gonna say we we caught up on everything
Speaker 4: yesterday and all I did. So it was like, I
Speaker 4: don't know, ten minutes after nine last night and we
Speaker 4: got this next episode of this Your Friends and Neighbors
Speaker 4: with John Ham, and then we just watched previews for.
Speaker 2: Like see ten or fift you were also go to bed.
Speaker 1: That's what I did basically about the same time, about
Speaker 1: nine ten, I was like, turn this crap off and
Speaker 1: read your freaking book. But yeah, and it's also what
Speaker 1: is it day four? Is it day three or day four?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 4: I think this is probably the fourth day of the gloomy.
Speaker 4: It's taken a toll. It might rain tomorrow too, it
Speaker 4: might rain today. Well, then I don't know what we're
Speaker 4: going to do. We're gonna have to bring our own
Speaker 4: sunshine tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Well, there's a new episode of Farmer Wants a Wife tonight.
Speaker 4: A little ray for the end of the week. All right,
Speaker 4: the drug powel story. Fire Festival two. Check your email box,
Speaker 4: by the way, because Fire Festival two ticket buyers are
Speaker 4: going to get a full refund because that nobody saw
Speaker 4: this coming.
Speaker 3: That thing is imploding on.
Speaker 2: Are you so upset? I know you are really looking
Speaker 2: forward to totally.
Speaker 3: We'll do that.
Speaker 5: We come back you're listening to Gary and Shannon on
Speaker 5: demand from KFI am six forty.
Speaker 1: We told you about Jerome Powell talking at that meeting
Speaker 1: yesterday about his outlook for the future when it comes
Speaker 1: to the country and the economy, and how it's a
Speaker 1: pretty uncertain Trump said that this guy can't leave his
Speaker 1: job soon.
Speaker 8: The level of tariff increases announced so far is significantly
Speaker 8: larger than anticipated, and the same is likely to be
Speaker 8: true of the economic effects, which will include higher inflation
Speaker 8: and slower growth. Tariffs are highly likely to generate at
Speaker 8: least a temporary rise in inflation. The inflationary effects could
Speaker 8: also be more persistent.
Speaker 4: Well, not a surprise. He's saying that the tariff uncertainty
Speaker 4: and the tariffs that we do know of right now
Speaker 4: are going to cause a strain on the economy.
Speaker 1: But Trump doesn't want to hear that. He wants to
Speaker 1: hear only positive news. He only wants to hear that
Speaker 1: this will be great in the long term for the country.
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to hear anything more about the speed
Speaker 1: bumps that this is going to result in. He doesn't
Speaker 1: want to hear about inflation. He went on Truth's Social
Speaker 1: this morning and with regard to Powell said quote, termination
Speaker 1: cannot come fast enough.
Speaker 2: However, Powell's job looks safe.
Speaker 1: Any attempt to rem move him would obviously feed instability
Speaker 1: in the markets already suffering. And it's a legally questionable
Speaker 1: option that Trump considered in his first term as well.
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten into how that could work, but I'm
Speaker 1: assuming because they wrote it up in Politico as a
Speaker 1: legally questionable option. It gets pretty weedy when it comes
Speaker 1: to can Trump get rid of Powell?
Speaker 4: Yeah, and his reference to it in this truth social
Speaker 4: post today he said the ECB European Central Bank is
Speaker 4: expected to cut interest rates for a seventh time, and
Speaker 4: yet too late. Jerome Powell of the Fed, who is
Speaker 4: always too late and wrong, yesterday issued a report which
Speaker 4: was another and typical complete mess. Oil prices are down,
Speaker 4: groceries even eggs are down, and the USA is getting
Speaker 4: rich on tariffs.
Speaker 3: Too late.
Speaker 4: Should have lowered interest rates like the ECB long ago,
Speaker 4: but he should certainly lower them now. Powell's termination cannot
Speaker 4: come fast enough. The people in the White House again
Speaker 4: are forced to try to interpret what the president rights
Speaker 4: on social media.
Speaker 2: Not doing that.
Speaker 1: The White House spokesperson referred all questions back to that post.
Speaker 3: It's the idiot.
Speaker 4: It's an idiotic thing for this guy to continue to
Speaker 4: manage via social media. And I wish that somebody would
Speaker 4: have gotten that message to him.
Speaker 3: And then you just.
Speaker 2: Say this guy about the president.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Oh God.
Speaker 4: They have said that at least been telling Politico that
Speaker 4: this is less of an attempt to oust Jerome Powell
Speaker 4: and more of an effort to throw the FED chair
Speaker 4: off balance and potentially position Jerome Powell as the scapegoat
Speaker 4: if things don't pan.
Speaker 3: Out the way they should.
Speaker 2: I like that shirt.
Speaker 3: Thank you? All right?
Speaker 2: Coming up next?
Speaker 3: Ow what Necker whiplasher there?
Speaker 1: Well, I thought that I I before I forgot the compliment,
Speaker 1: I should deliver it because I have this new thing
Speaker 1: where I'm trying to be a nice person.
Speaker 4: Aw yeah, hey you asked what the armchair armchair detective meant?
Speaker 7: Yeah, good morning garyon Shannon flying fish out at the
Speaker 7: airport armchair detective. I mean somebody just sits on there,
Speaker 7: you know what, and don't do jet.
Speaker 3: You know what?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's me.
Speaker 7: They don't get out the chair, just on the computer screen,
Speaker 7: don't do any firsthand footwork. Yeah, real police work and
Speaker 7: we got a lot of armchair everybody, have a good one.
Speaker 7: Love you guys, take the show going.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was thinking based on that as well about
Speaker 1: my future in the LAPD. We talked to Chief Jim
Speaker 1: McDonald and he left the door open for me.
Speaker 3: There's a top end agre right limit.
Speaker 1: And then somebody who I live with mentioned and the
Speaker 1: Academy to me, and I thought, I think that would
Speaker 1: be fun to go through the academy, okay, And the
Speaker 1: person I live with was like, and I could envision
Speaker 1: what he was thinking when he didn't say words, and
Speaker 1: it was something to the effect of, do you really
Speaker 1: think you could last one day doing all the physical
Speaker 1: things that are required in the academy?
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not boot camp, but it's like boot camp.
Speaker 2: Close, you know.
Speaker 1: He's like, what about like drop and do fifty burpies.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I could do fifty burpies, but then that's
Speaker 1: it in a time limit, like for one day. If
Speaker 1: you gave me a day to do fifty burpies, I
Speaker 1: could totally do it, but then that's it for the day. Right.
Speaker 3: Maybe he's onto something there.
Speaker 4: Listen, if you were foolish enough to buy tickets to
Speaker 4: fire Festival too, because the first one was such.
Speaker 3: A bang in time.
Speaker 4: You're going to get a refund because this thing is
Speaker 4: already falling apart.
Speaker 3: No, I am not telling lies.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: I find myself getting more frustrated with leaving football games
Speaker 1: and things like that. Have traffic jams getting out of
Speaker 1: events gotten.
Speaker 2: Worse or they have they always been this bad?
Speaker 1: Have like plan as planning gone by the wayside in
Speaker 1: terms of traffic flow and getting people out of there?
Speaker 1: Are people not paying attention that are in charge of
Speaker 1: traffic flow?
Speaker 2: Is it the cell phones? What is it?
Speaker 1: Is this a way to skimp by? You just put
Speaker 1: people out there invested, don't know what they're doing.
Speaker 3: I think I've told this story before.
Speaker 4: There was a time when some friends and I were
Speaker 4: leaving Candlestick Park after watching a Giants game middle of
Speaker 4: the afternoon weekend. So it's say it's four or five
Speaker 4: o'clock in the afternoon, and there was a report towards
Speaker 4: the end of the game of a missing kid. Oh
Speaker 4: that's right, yeah, And they were stopping every single car
Speaker 4: as I mean, they had limited the number of exits.
Speaker 4: First right, they closed some of the otherwise would be
Speaker 4: open gates and they closed them off and they were
Speaker 4: filtering people through. That would to me was one of
Speaker 4: the first times that I remember looking at all of
Speaker 4: the different places. Like when you come in, if you're
Speaker 4: going to charge for parking, especially think Dodger Stadium, you've
Speaker 4: got to control the access points. You got to be
Speaker 4: able to get people to pay. But when it's time
Speaker 4: to leave, say you had four gates open, when it's
Speaker 4: time to leave, you should have fifty gates open.
Speaker 1: I mean I come from a family where my dad
Speaker 1: he would leave candlestick four minutes left on the clock
Speaker 1: in a forty nine er game.
Speaker 2: This is back when it Niners had it all buttoned up.
Speaker 2: You know, there were no nail biers, good few, very few. Well,
Speaker 2: we leave with four minutes left on the clock. I
Speaker 2: park out.
Speaker 1: My husband parks outside of Dodger Stadium, so we don't
Speaker 1: have to pay for parking.
Speaker 2: But for me, I like to get out quick. I
Speaker 2: get that.
Speaker 1: So it must have always been a problem, Like if
Speaker 1: my dad was doing that in the eighties just to
Speaker 1: get the hell out of there before the But my god,
Speaker 1: I leave Chargers games, and I just want to I
Speaker 1: have to put on like some sort of balming music
Speaker 1: something because he drives me insane. You're just yeah, Jay Shetty,
Speaker 1: absolutely poor Jay listens to so much profanity in those
Speaker 1: rides home. But like it just it's maddening how you
Speaker 1: just don't move for like twenty four minutes. You're just
Speaker 1: sitting there, and you gotta figure out there's gotta be
Speaker 1: a better way. But here's the thing, there's no money
Speaker 1: to be made with getting you out quicker. True, So
Speaker 1: that's why nobody cares.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean the last time I was in
Speaker 4: an event at the Forum, for example, Yeah, leaving the
Speaker 4: Forum is weird, especially if you're just going to the
Speaker 4: four h five because it's I mean it's right there.
Speaker 4: Four or five is not that far away from the Forum.
Speaker 4: But to get to the four h five you have
Speaker 4: to go all the way down that Oh I you
Speaker 4: turn to go all the way back down in front
Speaker 4: of everybody.
Speaker 1: They have never broken so many rules or run over
Speaker 1: so much stuff as when I'm trying to leave an event,
Speaker 1: because it brings out the violence in me. It brings
Speaker 1: out that I don't care about the law.
Speaker 3: I don't care violent secrets.
Speaker 4: Yes, well, the sequel to the Fire Festival is in doubt.
Speaker 4: There's been a flurry of messages to the morons who
Speaker 4: actually bought tickets to Fire Festival two, indicating that the
Speaker 4: follow up, scheduled to begin next month in Mexico, is
Speaker 4: not going to go as planned. ABC News has been
Speaker 4: reporting that one of the ticket holders they talked to
Speaker 4: got a message saying that Fire Festival two, scheduled May
Speaker 4: thirtieth to June second in Plia del Carmen, had been postponed.
Speaker 4: Some ticket holders got a message that organizers were looking
Speaker 4: for a new location after a dispute with some of
Speaker 4: the local officials there in Pliadel Carmen. Some of the
Speaker 4: officials at Pliadel Carmen said, nobody asked us if they
Speaker 4: could do it here, like nobody filed for permits or
Speaker 4: anything like that. The Washington Post did say they were
Speaker 4: going to send a reporter. That reporter got an email
Speaker 4: receipt for a refund worth sixteen hundred dollars from.
Speaker 3: The ticketing partner for the event.
Speaker 4: The soldout dot com that was the ticketing partner for
Speaker 4: the event no longer lists any ticket options Billy McFarland,
Speaker 4: who in the first In the first go round, Billy
Speaker 4: McFarlane spent six years in prison for defrauding investors of
Speaker 4: twenty six million dollars back in that that was made
Speaker 4: for a couple of great documentaries about how what an
Speaker 4: absolute s show that first one was.
Speaker 3: It became legend how bad it was.
Speaker 4: And then he announces a sequel back in February, about
Speaker 4: three years after he gets out of prison, and again
Speaker 4: the people, I want to know how many serious people
Speaker 4: were buying tickets or were all of them reporters for
Speaker 4: the Washington Post who were going to make fun of
Speaker 4: this thing. Now, after years, he says, of thoughtful planning
Speaker 4: and reflection, they had amazing plans for Fire Festival two,
Speaker 4: and they wanted to adventure seekers who would take the
