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. Big stories that we are following
Speaker 1: today include the fact that La Mayor Bass has apparently
Speaker 1: fired the chief of the La Fire Department. She has
Speaker 1: removed Chief Kristin Crowley, effective immediately. According to a statement
Speaker 1: that was issued by the Mayor's office, the mayor is
Speaker 1: expected to make a news conference or hold a news
Speaker 1: conference here in a few minutes. About twenty minutes ago
Speaker 1: is when they told us originally, So when that happens,
Speaker 1: we will dip in and listen to it. A couple
Speaker 1: other developing stories. Three people killed after shooting at a
Speaker 1: Louisville driver licensing office today. Louisville Metro Police and they
Speaker 1: were called at about noon Louisville time for a shooting
Speaker 1: at the driver Licensing Regional office in Valley Station. One man,
Speaker 1: apparently the gunman, and two women died. The two women
Speaker 1: apparently died at a hospital. There was also an explosion
Speaker 1: in Hawaii at a resort on Maui. This would have
Speaker 1: been last night. Several people were hurt. Police and firefighters
Speaker 1: had to show up at long Conopoly Beach, the Whaler Resort,
Speaker 1: where they said it looks like a propane tank or
Speaker 1: a propane line natural gas line possibly exploded at one
Speaker 1: of the group barbecue areas in that resort. The Senate
Speaker 1: has adopted a budget resolution intended to serve as a
Speaker 1: blueprint try to deliver the first part a President Trump's agenda.
Speaker 1: Senators voted fifty two to forty eight, most of those
Speaker 1: along party lines on this resolution after the overnight voting
Speaker 1: session went for hours and hours. In fact, the final
Speaker 1: vote didn't come until about five o'clock in the morning
Speaker 1: DC time. Senator Ran Paul was the only was the
Speaker 1: only Republican who voted against that measure. So, as we
Speaker 1: stand by and wait for this announcement from Karen Bass, Well,
Speaker 1: I wanted to revisit some of what she had said yesterday.
Speaker 1: Karen Bass of course did an interview I guess the
Speaker 1: day before yesterday, she had done an interview with Alex
Speaker 1: Michaelson from Channel eleven regarding what happened on January seventh.
Speaker 1: If you remember, she was in Ghana. She was in
Speaker 1: Africa at the time that the fire started. Even though
Speaker 1: we all knew that there was a massive weather issue,
Speaker 1: this very dangerous weather situation of the incredible Santa Ana
Speaker 1: Santa Ana wins that were driving fire danger higher, plus
Speaker 1: the fact that we hadn't had rain in several months,
Speaker 1: and then.
Speaker 2: That type of preparation didn't happen. If that had I
Speaker 2: will tell you, Alex, I wouldn't have even gone to
Speaker 2: San Diego, let alone leave the country.
Speaker 3: But what do you mean there were warnings you weren't
Speaker 3: aware of, because I know we were talking about it
Speaker 3: on the news. A lot of people were talking about
Speaker 3: the problems at warning that this was going to be
Speaker 3: a huge So it.
Speaker 2: Didn't reach that level to me to say something terrible
Speaker 2: could happen and maybe you shouldn't have gone on the.
Speaker 4: Trip, Well I didn't, But to me, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that that's one of the things
Speaker 2: we need.
Speaker 4: To look at now. Again.
Speaker 1: That was one of the stories that I had a
Speaker 1: hard time with her story about that, and Alex at
Speaker 1: least pushed back and said, listen, we in the media
Speaker 1: knew well ahead of time that this was a dangerous event.
Speaker 1: That way back on January second, the National Weather Service
Speaker 1: had put out alerts that we were going to see
Speaker 1: a very dangerous situation on January seventh. On January third,
Speaker 1: they upgraded it. On January fourth is when she left
Speaker 1: for Ghana. The Mayor's office, even at least the communications people,
Speaker 1: put out a statement that suggested that Wednesday, January seventh
Speaker 1: was going to be our particularly dangerous day, and she
Speaker 1: really didn't do anything. She knew that that was I
Speaker 1: shouldn't say she knew. She claims that she didn't know
Speaker 1: that it was going to be that dangerous a situation
Speaker 1: and suggested that it was Chief Crowley that has the
Speaker 1: responsibility to let her know when there is a dangerous
Speaker 1: situation like that.
Speaker 2: I think that that's something that has to be assessed.
Speaker 2: I need to understand why things were handled differently this
Speaker 2: time than they've been handled before.
Speaker 4: And again I'm not sure exactly what she meant by that.
Speaker 1: If you also remember she did come back from Ghana,
Speaker 1: She got on an airplane, made her way back to
Speaker 1: the United States, and on January eighth, stood alongside the
Speaker 1: governor in a news conference. Later on January afternoon of
Speaker 1: January eighth, while the fires were still burning, so she
Speaker 1: had the wherewithal and the smarts to turn around and
Speaker 1: come back to California while the city was burning. But
Speaker 1: if you remember, there was an episode where she was
Speaker 1: just off of an airplane waiting to be escorted down
Speaker 1: to the tarmac. She gets VIP service, so they get
Speaker 1: a suv or a limo basically waiting for her on
Speaker 1: the tarmac and she could be walked out of the
Speaker 1: jetway down to the tarmac get her out of there.
Speaker 1: She was waiting for that to happen, and an Irish
Speaker 1: reporter stopped her in the jetway and was yelling at
Speaker 1: her and asking her do you have nothing to say?
Speaker 1: The helms are burning, do you have nothing to say?
Speaker 1: And all she did was look down at the ground.
Speaker 1: She said that that was a surprise to her.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was an ambush and I wasn't sure who
Speaker 2: he was. And that is unfortunate because I see the
Speaker 2: way that looks as though I was avoiding. But when
Speaker 2: you're getting off a plane and you've been on a
Speaker 2: plane seventeen hours and somebody hits you with a camera,
Speaker 2: I wish, in hindsight, my response had been better.
Speaker 1: Again, all this now coming to a coming, No boy
Speaker 1: coming to a head, because there was a statement that
Speaker 1: went out just from the Mayor's office this morning that
Speaker 1: said that Mayor Bass met with and removed Kristin Crowley
Speaker 1: as the fire chief, effective immediately for the city of La.
Speaker 1: Mayor Bass announced that she appointed former Chief Deputy Ronnie Viennaweva,
Speaker 1: who is a forty one year veteran of the La
Speaker 1: Fire Department, as the interim chief. She said, in this statement,
Speaker 1: acting in the best interests of La public safety and
Speaker 1: for the operations of the La Fire Department, I have
Speaker 1: removed Kristin Crowley as fire chief, she said. We know
Speaker 1: that a thousand firefighters that could have been on duty
Speaker 1: on the morning of the fires broke out were instead
Speaker 1: sent home on Chief Crowley's watch. Furthermore, a necessary step
Speaker 1: to an investigation was President of the Fire Commission telling
Speaker 1: Chief Crowley to do an after action report on those fires,
Speaker 1: and that the chief refused those require her removal. We
Speaker 1: haven't seen any sort of reaction. It's pretty early on,
Speaker 1: but we haven't seen any reaction from Chief Crowley. We
Speaker 1: do know that in the past she had suggested that
Speaker 1: in fact, it was the city that was responsible for
Speaker 1: the condition of the fire department. On January seventh, she
Speaker 1: did an interview with Gigi Grossiert on January tenth of
Speaker 1: this year.
Speaker 2: It's my job to stand up as a chief and
Speaker 2: exactly say, justifiably what the fire department needs to operate.
Speaker 4: To meet the demands of the community. Did they fail you?
Speaker 4: That is our job, I tell you, That's why I'm here.
Speaker 4: So let's get us what we need so firefighters can
Speaker 4: do their jobs.
Speaker 3: Did they fail you? Yes?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean this was I don't know if this
Speaker 1: was just a matter of time, but she said the
Speaker 1: city failed them. Mayor Bass said it was Chief Crowley
Speaker 1: that never told her that the fires were that the
Speaker 1: potential for fires were as bad as they were on
Speaker 1: January seventh, and then in this interview this week, Mayor
Speaker 1: Bass said she felt horrible for not being on the
Speaker 1: ground here in La when the fire started.
Speaker 2: I felt absolutely terrible not being.
Speaker 4: Here for my city, Yes, and that it was very painful.
Speaker 2: When I say it was a mistake. Absolutely, the idea
Speaker 2: that I was not present was very painful.
Speaker 1: All right, So we are standing by for this news
Speaker 1: conference when it comes up.
Speaker 4: We'll definitely bring it to you again.
Speaker 1: Mayor Bass has fired the chief of the La Fire
Speaker 1: Department in what appears to be a pretty significant passing
Speaker 1: of the buck. But we'll see what happens, especially when
Speaker 1: we get a state from now former La City Fire
Speaker 1: Chief Kristin Crowley, friend of the show. I think I
Speaker 1: can say that because in all honesty, I don't think
Speaker 1: we've had a guest on three times. They get here
Speaker 1: once and maybe twice and then they realize they've had
Speaker 1: enough of us.
Speaker 4: Comedian TJ. Miller has joined us.
Speaker 1: You got an all weekend of the Irvine improv tonight,
Speaker 1: tomorrow and Sunday night.
Speaker 3: Really excited for that. I thought you were going to
Speaker 3: say that people just kind of don't want to come
Speaker 3: back on, because I was also back on.
Speaker 1: There's also that we actually we interviewed you. You came
Speaker 1: by in our old studio down the hall, like mid
Speaker 1: February of twenty twenty, and it was things were just
Speaker 1: heating up and we didn't realize the world was about
Speaker 1: to end.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that was before it was global. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: it was kind of everyone was gone, this is maybe
Speaker 3: it's affecting China, maybe it's oh there's some people that
Speaker 3: are getting it, and then yeah, what a thing. And
Speaker 3: my you obviously we were able to keep working. Sure,
Speaker 3: but my sort of world just was put on pause.
Speaker 1: Well, now is it your wife also has was potentially
Speaker 1: susceptible to it?
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, sort of immunity compromise. Yeah, whatever, that should
Speaker 3: be a shorter name. Screwed I, I kind of yeah,
Speaker 3: And so it was really difficult. So I went I
Speaker 3: was touring. When I started touring again, well, first of all,
Speaker 3: we had seven months where I just was at home
Speaker 3: because we live in New York City, so we were
Speaker 3: just kind of trapped in our apartment thankfully has a
Speaker 3: little bit outdoor space, but I just was not touring.
Speaker 3: So we were just hemorrhaging money. And you know, luckily
Speaker 3: we get along or I get along well with her.
Speaker 3: I don't know university, I don't know about all that,
Speaker 3: but I really felt like, uh, you know what's going
Speaker 3: to happen here. And then as soon as I was
Speaker 3: able to start touring, I thought, well, here's a really
Speaker 3: weird sort of situation where if people are willing to
Speaker 3: come together and laugh, then my job is suddenly very important.
Speaker 3: That's what I felt. So because of that, I said,
Speaker 3: all right, we gotta you know, I gotta go on
Speaker 3: the road. But because she's immunocompromised or well, it's it's screwed.
Speaker 3: She she she was sort of, you know, we just
Speaker 3: kind of couldn't take any risks. So I would go
Speaker 3: and perform Friday, Saturday, you know, usually sometimes Sunday, also
Speaker 3: sometimes Thursday. But I would perform Friday Saturday. Then I
Speaker 3: would come home Sunday and we would quarantine from each
Speaker 3: other until Thursday, and I would be able to get
Speaker 3: We'd calculated we'd have some doctors and so even then
Speaker 3: we calculated that if I get the I would have
Speaker 3: to wait two days get the rapid test. But I
Speaker 3: been at a hospital, so it was the real test.
Speaker 3: They just could turn it around really quickly.
Speaker 4: As opposed to a guy on the street.
Speaker 3: But you know what, I like that guy, and I
Speaker 3: think he's just trying to help out.
Speaker 4: He wants you to spit in the cup, that's all.
Speaker 3: His name's Darren, and he loves spit cups. It's easy
Speaker 3: for me because I always do spit takes. Wednesday. I
Speaker 3: would get the test Thursday morning, would know if I
Speaker 3: had it, and then I and I never got it,
Speaker 3: and then she and I would sleep in the same
Speaker 3: bed Thursday night, and then I would go and do
Speaker 3: the whole time, and so it's really something, you know,
Speaker 3: And I think for me, not having sex in marriage
Speaker 3: during the pandemic is the same as not during the pandemic. Kidding,
Speaker 3: but I really feel like that did something to our
Speaker 3: marriage in a positive way. It just felt like I
Speaker 3: was sleeping downstairs and it's and I think in the beginning,
Speaker 3: I was kind of everybody was sort of drinking more.
Speaker 3: And then you get kind of to a stage where like, well,
Speaker 3: that's not how we're going to help. Yeah, it's not
Speaker 3: gonna I weighed fifteen pounds more than I. But I
Speaker 3: think it really showed sort of a real commitment to
Speaker 3: one another because we were so much trying to protect
Speaker 3: each other. And you know, for the first you know, Sunday, Monday,
Speaker 3: Tuesday or whatever, I didn't know if I had COVID.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm going to these places like Nashville, Tennessee,
Speaker 3: and they're just laughing the COVID at this.
Speaker 4: Great your own spit coming yeah on stage.
Speaker 3: And so I kind of yeah, so I I you know,
Speaker 3: it was sort of a weird time. But after about
Speaker 3: a month and a half, I realized, all right, I'm
Speaker 3: not I'm not going to get this necessarily from performing. Right.
Speaker 4: You mentioned Nashville Zany's Comedy Club in Nashville. I've been there.
Speaker 1: I had a blast when I was there. It's a
Speaker 1: cool club. You did a special there, and if I
Speaker 1: remember correctly, I think that's the last time you hear
Speaker 1: is you were talking about Dear Dear Jenny, and it
Speaker 1: was the story was basically that you were there to
Speaker 1: record a special, to do an hour that you had prepared,
Speaker 1: and without giving away too much for people who haven't
Speaker 1: seen it, there's a guy in the audience who kind
Speaker 1: of overtakes the story, and it was I loved it.
Speaker 1: It was what I sat my wife down and we
Speaker 1: watched it and we absolutely.
Speaker 3: Really thank you so much. I mean that means so
Speaker 3: much to me nowadays because nobody will watch anything it's
Speaker 3: longer than a minute, right to get somebody to do
Speaker 3: forty three of those. But it was exceptional. It was
Speaker 3: like beautiful because I couldn't believe I kind of talked
Speaker 3: to this guy he's sort of special needs or however
Speaker 3: you can say that without people screaming at you. But
Speaker 3: and then throughout the show we kind of interacted and
Speaker 3: then he became kind of the star of the show.
Speaker 3: Its name's Jonah and and it was just so fun
Speaker 3: because the big thing for me and what a lot
Speaker 3: of people say online is that I was just so
Speaker 3: kind to him and to me, that's like, well, yeah,
Speaker 3: of course you should do that with everybody, but it
Speaker 3: was it was interesting to see the response.
Speaker 1: Well, I know there's a probably I don't know if
Speaker 1: there's an actual debate that goes on between comedians on
Speaker 1: the road. There's a lot there's a down playing I
Speaker 1: guess of a lot of crowd work. Crowd work is
Speaker 1: what makes a lot of uh makes a lot of
Speaker 1: viral videos where you know, watch watch comedian TJ. Miller
Speaker 1: take down the heckler or whatever. But that was like
Speaker 1: the most positive version of I guess you would say
Speaker 1: crowd work, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. And I it's very frustrating to
Speaker 3: me because my tour is called the crowdsourcer or Tour,
Speaker 3: which I need to change because of what you're saying.
Speaker 3: And you know, I I'm I think there's about ten
Speaker 3: comedians who can improvise an entire show and I am
Speaker 3: one of those comedians. And I don't really talk to
Speaker 3: the crowd as much as I talk about them and
Speaker 3: it's it can be. It's frustrating a little bit that
Speaker 3: people go, you know, do your act do material right,
Speaker 3: that's only really happened once that somebody yeld that out.
Speaker 3: But it's frustrating to me because I am that is
Speaker 3: my strength. And now there's so many young comedians that
Speaker 3: are like, well, I don't want to burn material, so
Speaker 3: I'll go out there and go, hey, what's your name,
Speaker 3: where are you from? What do you do? And then
Speaker 3: and and a lot of it's the same.
Speaker 4: You know this tour, like you said, the crowdsource or tour.
Speaker 4: Last year you released an album Smooth Peanut Butter.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: There was a there was a time when stand up
Speaker 1: comedy was all audio. It was all albums, cassette CDs
Speaker 1: like that was that was the way to get stuff
Speaker 1: out there. And now you've got that plus all of
Speaker 1: the streaming services. You've got YouTube where you can control
Speaker 1: a lot of your own content.
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is where that's the only place that people
Speaker 3: really watch stuff. Netflix kind of had a moment, Hulu
Speaker 3: is trying to have a moment, but it's really all YouTube.
Speaker 1: Is that beneficial for that for you in that career
Speaker 1: that there's there's so many different places for you to
Speaker 1: put it up.
Speaker 3: Oh, I it would be beneficial if everybody was watching
Speaker 3: all these but your attention is so divided that you
Speaker 3: almost have to do all of it to get that
Speaker 3: one TV appearance. But yeah, it is for me because
Speaker 3: also I do so much stuff. So I have on
Speaker 3: my channel, I have the Spokane Special, which is forty
Speaker 3: five It was an hour, but like forty five minutes
Speaker 3: of me just riffing on Spokane. So if you don't
Speaker 3: live there, then you have no idea what I'm talking about. Spoken, Yeah, right, exactly.
Speaker 3: Every restaurant ends their name with and wine and beer, beizza,
Speaker 3: burgers and beer. We have beer. There's a place called
Speaker 3: the the Soup and Sip and all they serve as
Speaker 3: soup and alcohol, which I always whenever I'm having clam chowder,
Speaker 3: I'm like, vod Katonic would really pair with this, Well.
Speaker 4: Sounds like a gastrointestinal disaster.
Speaker 3: So I kind of I did that, and then I
Speaker 3: did it kind of a Halloween special where I do
Speaker 3: stand up making fun of the Stanley Hotel and we
Speaker 3: also do like a ghost tour and I talk about
Speaker 3: and then I have Dear Jonah and I'm coming out
Speaker 3: with the Philosophy Circus, and I have a special on
Speaker 3: me doing stand up in Chicago when we talk all
Speaker 3: about kind of the food, and there's a special about
Speaker 3: being in Philadelphia during the Super Bowl, the last super
Speaker 3: Bowl that the Eagles were in, and that's sort of
Speaker 3: stand up, but it's also us getting ready for the
Speaker 3: game and talking about the game and seeing Philadelphia. So
Speaker 3: I couldn't do those with Netflix, you know, because they
Speaker 3: just wouldn't want that much material, with that much content.
Speaker 3: But I can do that on YouTube, so I think
Speaker 3: that's really helpful. But no, if I could go back
Speaker 3: and be a part of when Steve Martin was making records, wow,
Speaker 3: I mean imagine that, because I would be the only
Speaker 3: one releasing, you know, a record every month or something
Speaker 3: about Spokane, I would strictly do Spokane right comedy.
Speaker 1: The entire decade of seventies was you in Spokane, and
Speaker 1: you know what, it's good.
Speaker 3: But I released my first sort of independent stand up
Speaker 3: comedy album with aid fund Gorilla uh, and that's called
Speaker 3: Smooth Peanut Butter because I love peanut butter. I sell
Speaker 3: it on my website. TJ. Miller does not have website
Speaker 3: dot com. I eat it. It's in my rider there
Speaker 3: it is. And bananas from my friend Cash Levy. I
Speaker 3: do a podcast with a guy, Cash Levy called cashing
Speaker 3: In with TJ. Miller. But Smooth Peanut Butter is like,
Speaker 3: really really cool. It was really cool to kind of
Speaker 3: do that, And it's drawn from Deer Jonah, but there's
Speaker 3: no material that's the same.
Speaker 1: How do you determine where you're going to record a special?
Speaker 1: How do you figure out which is the best?
Speaker 3: You're so inquisitive that it feels inauthentic.
Speaker 4: Is this what are you talking about?
Speaker 3: You just you know so much and you genuinely love
Speaker 3: asking questions. But I think to the people that you're
Speaker 3: talking to, they're like, is he serious? Is he seriously
Speaker 3: that interested?
Speaker 4: Is it the architecture?
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 4: Do you know what's going to look good visually? Is
Speaker 4: it the crowd?
Speaker 1: Is it because you have a special personal relationship to
Speaker 1: the city.
Speaker 3: Or I chose Nashville. Again, that's a very funny question
Speaker 3: that I've never been asked. I chose Nashville because in
Speaker 3: the backdrop when you're on stage, there's this really silly
Speaker 3: sign that says like Zany's and a couple of the
Speaker 3: letters are like a little off kilter, Oh no, And
Speaker 3: I just came up with this idea. It's a great club.
Speaker 3: I mean it's it's one of the best clubs. But
Speaker 3: I came up with this idea that like, what if
Speaker 3: I made, you know, fifteen of those and they were
Speaker 3: all fake names for comedy clubs because Zany's is so stupid.
Speaker 3: So it was like the chuckle Bucket and like crickets
Speaker 3: and was pun ponderful something like that, you know, And
Speaker 3: and that just stuck in my head and I thought
Speaker 3: it was so funny. So I said, that's where I'm
Speaker 3: gonna do what became Dear Jonah. But then I did
Speaker 3: one in Tampa that's the Philosophy Circus and that's not
Speaker 3: out yet, but it's really really I'm very proud of that,
Speaker 3: and that I wanted. It's kind of juggling and vaudeville,
Speaker 3: and so I thought, it's got to be in a theater,
Speaker 3: and so the Tampa improv is an old theater. I
Speaker 3: couldn't in San Jose, but those California audiences aren't. They're
Speaker 3: not my speed as much Northern California obviously, right, And
Speaker 3: then you know, and then I did one called the
Speaker 3: gentle Giant, and that's really very personal. It's about me.
Speaker 3: It's about my brain injury, which is maybe lightheaded, and
Speaker 3: why I came in a little bit late, but that
Speaker 3: I wanted to do in San Diego because it's so
Speaker 3: small and so personal, and it's such a like club club.
Speaker 3: You know, it's almost like the Comedy Seller, but with
Speaker 3: better audiences.
Speaker 1: Comedian TJ. Miller, You're going to be at the Irvine
Speaker 1: Improv tonight, two shows.
Speaker 3: I'm so excited Brown Night.
Speaker 4: Two shows.
Speaker 3: First shows, early shows are sold out, So guys, let's
Speaker 3: get into the late shows. That's when things get raucous wild.

Speaker 1: the website.
Speaker 3: I've tried for.
Speaker 6: T J.
Speaker 3: Mailer does not have a website dot gov. But I
Speaker 3: gotta tell you the amic government I have. I had.
Speaker 3: I had a misunderstanding with the federal government. It's since
Speaker 3: been resolved. They they they took something that I said
Speaker 3: and they've kind of took it the wrong way. It
Speaker 3: happened when they admitted to that, and now we're good.
Speaker 1: We are actually going to give away a pair of
Speaker 1: tickets and we have a couple of different options for people.
Speaker 4: So, uh, what exciting?
Speaker 3: No, it's exciting.
Speaker 4: I thought you wanted us to pay for him.
Speaker 3: No, I'm really excited. I keep turning if you saw
Speaker 3: this before, I keep turning to the right, thinking that
Speaker 3: there's a booth with somebody behind the glass.
Speaker 1: Oh, there's somebody behind the wall, but but no.
Speaker 3: No clear glass to see it. And you've got let's
Speaker 3: count them, six televisions plus seven seven. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 3: didn't see that one.
Speaker 4: Soon's turned off, so you can't.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I didn't even see it. What what
Speaker 3: is this? Just so that you take in everything and
Speaker 3: you can talk about it. I don't like why is
Speaker 3: it on? Because they're also all different channels.
Speaker 4: I don't like a light stream of information. I like
Speaker 4: a fire.
Speaker 3: Why is that? Were you like that as a kid?
Speaker 1: Probably some form of ADHD? Like this is calming to me.
Speaker 3: That's how I feel about living in New York. There
Speaker 3: you go ahead, I a second. I step out into
Speaker 3: the sea of people and this and this store and
Speaker 3: this It really like calms me. Really, I like it.
Speaker 3: I have ADHD also.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred five to zero one five three four eight
Speaker 1: hundred five to one k five are.
Speaker 3: They gonna come on the Do I get to hear them?
Speaker 3: Oh to talk to them?
Speaker 4: I don't know. I mean we can go outside and
Speaker 4: answer the phone if you like.
Speaker 1: But a pair of tickets to TJ's show, you can
Speaker 1: actually pick which show and we'll tell you that the
Speaker 1: choices that we've got when you when you win. But

Speaker 3: Sunday's always a fun day. That's uh, That's God's Day.
Speaker 3: And so I do a lot of sort of religious material.
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's hard, you know, and I talked about
Speaker 3: not just one religion. I'll talk about you know, I'll
Speaker 3: talk about all of it. Can I just stop myself
Speaker 3: from saying Islamic? So how do you choose that it's
Speaker 3: coller number six?
Speaker 4: Because that's how many buttons they have on the phone
Speaker 4: over there?
Speaker 3: Really kind so is it a kind of you're walking
Speaker 3: that back right away?
Speaker 4: They have ten? But I can only count as high
Speaker 4: as six.
Speaker 3: That's a big part of it. But do you change it?
Speaker 3: Is it sometimes calling a three, sometimes it's calling number five?
Speaker 3: But this time is the only one. But that's I wondered,
Speaker 3: like a six year lucky number, you know, but it
Speaker 3: sounds like five and six? You know, good to it.
Speaker 4: Thanks for coming in, man, appreciate it.
Speaker 3: So how did you come in? I can't believe that
Speaker 3: I book ended the pandemic. I think I only remember
Speaker 3: coming before it because they tried to erase everything after it.
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, you were wearing a full tiex
Speaker 1: suit when you came in.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, well you know it looks good. I was
Speaker 3: gonna wear it today, but somebody told me this was formal,
Speaker 3: so I am in a tie and slide. I'm really
Speaker 3: serious about it.
Speaker 4: We do have to get to this chief. The mayor
Speaker 4: has fired the chief of the La Fire Department.
Speaker 3: How do you feel about that?
Speaker 4: It was coming? They can't get think someone has to
Speaker 4: get fired.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, because everybody needs to feel like there's some
Speaker 3: sort of justice. But the thing is like it was
Speaker 3: the wins.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't fire the God.
Speaker 3: That's what you get on k f I is the
Speaker 3: lesson that all of us learn, which is you can't
Speaker 3: fire the win.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to that news conference. Thanks for
Speaker 1: coming in, TG, please thank you.
Speaker 2: So it was after the fire started, but let me
Speaker 2: just be clear. Los Angeles needs to move forward. This
Speaker 2: is a new day. I am excited to welcome our
Speaker 2: new chief, who was a forty one year veteran of
Speaker 2: this fire department.
Speaker 3: He is well known.
Speaker 4: He is well liked.
Speaker 2: He knows most of the members of the city Council
Speaker 2: except for our two members that were recently elected. And
Speaker 2: it is our plan to continue moving forward. We want
Speaker 2: to have the full investigation that the governor has ordered
Speaker 2: and the investigation that we will do locally.
Speaker 3: Yes, I wanted to a little because I think you
Speaker 3: actually spoke with the chief that I heard five cans
Speaker 3: at twelve forty seven mobal times, very much after the
Speaker 3: GIEVUS year. And you all can't talking about the fire. Yes,
Speaker 3: and you're crazy.
Speaker 1: Cheap positions necessarily involve places also prising home leadership.
Speaker 7: And you said something you.
Speaker 2: And needless to say, I did not know all the facts,
Speaker 2: but I had spoken.
Speaker 3: To her maybe a couple of hours before that.
Speaker 2: Yes, two good questions in terms of the investigations and
Speaker 2: the calls for you firing you know, least cheap what were.
Speaker 3: The issue.
Speaker 8: In that area.
Speaker 2: There will be an investigation of the UH water situation
Speaker 2: as well, and that will be done by the governor. Yes,
Speaker 2: all of that is being examined at the governor's initiation,
Speaker 2: and we might do something locally as well. And those
Speaker 2: who might say that you've said now as explained as
Speaker 2: it is, and it's also in the action work with
Speaker 2: system to you you office. About budget, let me just
Speaker 2: be clear about the budget. The fire department was not cut.
Speaker 2: I have done two budgets in my time here. In
Speaker 2: both budgets the budget was increased and I will anticipate
Speaker 2: that it will be increased this time as well.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
Speaker 9: That other members council will Yeah, sir, you want to day.
Speaker 3: Do you think that you're enough port on the council.
Speaker 2: To I believe that there is a lot of support
Speaker 2: on the city council.
Speaker 6: Yes.
Speaker 3: Is this always says about people who have been going
Speaker 3: up and lost by leads and attentions with Tildy Urdos.
Speaker 3: You have back and forth focused so.
Speaker 6: Off and.
Speaker 4: UH the city is not in upheaval.
Speaker 2: I am very happy that the the rebuilding, the restoration,
Speaker 2: the clean clearing of the fire, of the debris is
Speaker 2: moved forward way ahead of time. We have just experienced
Speaker 2: the worst natural disaster that our city.
Speaker 4: Has ever experienced.
Speaker 2: It would be wonderful to think that everything would be
Speaker 2: smooth every step of the way, but I don't believe
Speaker 2: that that is realistic. I think we are standing together.
Speaker 2: I think we're standing strong, as evidenced by leadership of
Speaker 2: the city Council being here with me, with with members
Speaker 2: of the city Council, and there's many more that are
Speaker 2: not here. We have worked very well together. Now are
Speaker 2: there differences along the way? Of course they are, yes.
Speaker 9: Getting all probably you know, I think that some people
Speaker 9: they see you at the top.
Speaker 2: Of the bore one getting information.
Speaker 4: From people, and you're lay hot.
Speaker 3: And you're to be responsible.
Speaker 2: Let me say that, yes, as the mayor. As the
Speaker 2: mayor of the city, the buck stops with me. I
Speaker 2: am in charge, however, the person in charge of the
Speaker 2: fire department. As I mentioned before, whenever there was a
Speaker 2: fire emergency, a weather emergency, or a hint of a problem,
Speaker 2: I am contacted directly, and not just by Chief Crowley,
Speaker 2: but by any of the heads of the departments.
Speaker 4: As you know, we have over forty departments. I'll take
Speaker 4: a couple more.
Speaker 2: Yes, of the city house was chief?
Speaker 10: I do not know that.
Speaker 3: From your age and chiefs and things like that.
Speaker 4: Or do you want fathers outside news sources?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 3: I watch news all the time.
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm sorry. What did you say, Stas?
Speaker 9: I do not know.
Speaker 4: Okay, one final question from you.
Speaker 2: You've not asked a question any blast for the wartment
Speaker 2: you come in.
Speaker 3: Yes, I just plan on moving forward.
Speaker 4: I want to move the apartment forward, uh and take
Speaker 4: care of our firefighters. So I don't want to look backwards.
Speaker 3: I don't want to look to a pass like the
Speaker 3: mayor stated, I just want to look for the for
Speaker 3: the future en Espanol. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, you've been listening to.
Speaker 1: This news conference from Mayor Karen Bass and the new
Speaker 1: interim chief of the LA Fire Department, Ronnie van Awava.
Speaker 1: He is a forty one year l A l a
Speaker 1: f D veteran. He has been named as the interim
Speaker 1: fire chief.
Speaker 6: Again.
Speaker 4: This broke a couple of hours ago.
Speaker 1: An hour and a half or so ago, LA Mayor
Speaker 1: Karen Bass met with and removed Kristin Crowley as the
Speaker 1: fire chief effective immediately some of the questions that you
Speaker 1: heard there, asked and answered, She the mayor fought back
Speaker 1: against the assertion that the city was in some sort
Speaker 1: of upheat and instead instead said that this was the
Speaker 1: smart way to get past everything that we know about
Speaker 1: that's been discussed when it comes to the Palisades fire
Speaker 1: and the LA Fire Department, whether it was in a
Speaker 1: state of readiness, and then whose responsibility it was to
Speaker 1: be in that state of readiness. She claimed that in
Speaker 1: fact it was the chief, that it was Kristin Crowley
Speaker 1: who sort of had the department on its back feet,
Speaker 1: and she, in a statement earlier today, said that there
Speaker 1: were one thousand firefighters that could have been on duty
Speaker 1: on the morning of the fires, that they broke out
Speaker 1: and were instead sent home on Chief Crowley's watch. And
Speaker 1: then a necessary step to an investigation was the President
Speaker 1: of the Fire Commission telling Chief Crowley to do an
Speaker 1: after action report on the fires now, and that Chief
Speaker 1: Crowley apparently refused to do so. Again, that's from the
Speaker 1: mayor specifically, so we don't know exactly what the response
Speaker 1: will be or has been from the now former Chief Crowley,
Speaker 1: she said, acting in the best interests of public safety
Speaker 1: and for the operations of the fire Department, I have
Speaker 1: removed Kristin Crowley as chief. She also, as I said,
Speaker 1: suggested that the chief refused to participate in the after
Speaker 1: action report on the fires after being asked to do
Speaker 1: so by the commissioned President, and she said those issues
Speaker 1: required her removal. The fire department, at least according to
Speaker 1: the La Times, decided not to assign for emergency deployment
Speaker 1: about a thousand available firefighters and dozens of the water
Speaker 1: carrying engines in advance of the fire, and the fire
Speaker 1: officials said they chose not to order firefighters to remain
Speaker 1: on duty for a second shift as the winds were
Speaker 1: building back on January seventh. That would have doubled the
Speaker 1: personnel on hand and in fact staff just five of
Speaker 1: the forty engines that are available to help in fighting wildfires. Again,
Speaker 1: this is all that. Part of it is the investigation
Speaker 1: that was found from the La Times. Monica Rodriguez, a
Speaker 1: city council member, said this is the absolute wrong decision.
Speaker 1: Said she was going to work to get the ten
Speaker 1: votes from the city council that could overturn this dismissal.
Speaker 4: That is still a possibility.
Speaker 1: The city Council has the power under the La City
Speaker 1: Charter to overturn the mayor's decision like this. That would
Speaker 1: be a very steep challenge, but it is possible, and
Speaker 1: as much as Monica Rodriguez city council member wants to
Speaker 1: do this, there may be some steam behind the other
Speaker 1: city council members who would do this as well. In fact,
Speaker 1: her statement Monica Rodriguez Rodriguez is it's absolutely unacceptable. Mayor
Speaker 1: Bass clearly continues to change her posture. On January seventh,
Speaker 1: she was praising the fire chief and her response, and
Speaker 1: then it appears as the heat kicked up for her absence,
Speaker 1: she continued to try and attribute blame to someone else.
Speaker 4: Again.
Speaker 1: We have not yet heard from Kristen Crowley since this
Speaker 1: dismissal was announced. Just after eleven o'clock this morning, a
Speaker 1: spokesperson for the LAFD a name you've heard many times
Speaker 1: here on KFI, Eric Scott. The department was aware of
Speaker 1: the mayor's announcement, but was going to have no further
Speaker 1: comments or interviews at this time. So, as I mentioned,
Speaker 1: you've got an LAFD veteran, a forty one year veteran
Speaker 1: of the Department, Ronald Vanueva, who will serve as interim chief.
Speaker 1: He did retire seven months ago as the deputy Chief
Speaker 1: of Emergency Operations, but he's being brought back to do this,
Speaker 1: being brought back in to lead the department until this
Speaker 1: can be worked out however that ends. I mean, like
Speaker 1: I said, the City Council does have the ability to
Speaker 1: It's an uphill battle, but does have the ability to
Speaker 1: reinstate Chief Crowley with ten votes of the fifteen member panel.
Speaker 1: This of course stems from months now, at least a
Speaker 1: month of friction between Mayor Bass and Chief Crowley from
Speaker 1: immediately after the fire. As Monica Rodriguez pointed out, Karen
Speaker 1: Bass was originally very supportive of the fire department. Granted,
Speaker 1: I mean it was in the midst of literally the
Speaker 1: fires were still burning and she was expressing support for
Speaker 1: Chief Crowley and the Fire department. But on the tenth,
Speaker 1: while the fire was out of control, Chief Crowley gave
Speaker 1: an interview with Gigi Graciet on Channel eleven and said
Speaker 1: that the City of La which you could read her
Speaker 1: direct attack on Mayor Bass, that the City of La
Speaker 1: had failed her and the La Fire Department and described
Speaker 1: the agency as understaffed. She said they were underfunded by
Speaker 1: millions of dollars and said that this was no longer sustainable.
Speaker 1: She went on CNN later that day and told Jake
Speaker 1: Tapper that the fire Department didn't have enough mechanics to
Speaker 1: repair the emergency vehicles that were broken down. We've covered
Speaker 1: that story a couple of times, and when asked whether
Speaker 1: it was the city budget that was responsible, Chief Crowley said,
Speaker 1: I want to be very very clear, Yes, it's the
Speaker 1: city's budget cuts that affect the La Fire Department's ability
Speaker 1: to fight the fund she was taken to task for
Speaker 1: that called to the principal's office. Mayor Bass summoned Chief
Speaker 1: Crowley to her office. They had a meeting that went
Speaker 1: on for a very long time, to the point that
Speaker 1: she didn't even show up. Karen Bass didn't even show
Speaker 1: up for her own wildfire emergency news conference later that day.
Speaker 1: They continue to appear at news conferences together. They continued
Speaker 1: to say that they are not in the process of
Speaker 1: fighting with each other, although that's exactly what was going
Speaker 1: on behind closed doors, it appears, and the mayor and
Speaker 1: her team gave a series of statements that suggested that
Speaker 1: it was Kristin Crowley who didn't tell Mayor Bass or
Speaker 1: the Mayor's office about the potential danger of the windstorm
Speaker 1: that was predicted for January seventh. The interview that happened
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, where Alex Michaelson sat down with Mayor Bass,
Speaker 1: she pointed at not getting the notification from Chief Crowley
Speaker 1: as the reason she followed through with the planned trip
Speaker 1: to Ghana. Her spokesperson, the mayor's spokesperson until the La Times,
Speaker 1: the Crowley routinely would call the mayor and her team
Speaker 1: ahead of severe weather events, but did not do so
Speaker 1: before the January seventh event. She also said she didn't
Speaker 1: receive enough information about the weather and if she had,
Speaker 1: she would have canceled her trip, which is hard that
Speaker 1: on this end of it, that's a hard thing for
Speaker 1: me to understand, because we were doing stories, we were
Speaker 1: surprised at the nature of the warnings that were coming in,
Speaker 1: not just from the National Weather Service, but from fire departments,
Speaker 1: a state, local county fire departments saying the windstorm that's
Speaker 1: coming on January seventh is not only one of the
Speaker 1: worst windstorms that we've seen, it also comes at a
Speaker 1: time where we haven't seen rain in months. We knew
Speaker 1: that it was an unusually dangerous situation because of the
Speaker 1: nature of those coins. How does the mayor's office not know,
Speaker 1: regardless of whether or not the fire department calls her
Speaker 1: and tells her. But Mayor Bass said if she realized
Speaker 1: more information, if she had more information about the actual weather,
Speaker 1: she would have canceled her trip. Eric Garcetti was the
Speaker 1: one who hired Kristin Crowley to lead the department. She
Speaker 1: was the first female chief in the history of the
Speaker 1: La Fire Department. She was picked up at a time,
Speaker 1: picked up, i should say, elevated at a time when
Speaker 1: firefighters were talking about sexual harassment and hazing at the department.
Speaker 1: But this only listen, it's not good. It's not good
Speaker 1: for the city of La It's also not good for
Speaker 1: Mayor Bass. That you've got city council members, at least
Speaker 1: one who are very vocal about their disapproval of this move.
Speaker 1: That Monica Rodriguez, as the city council member, hates this decision,
Speaker 1: says she's going to try to rally the troops on
Speaker 1: the rest of the city council to overturn the mayor's decision.
Speaker 1: In one of the most high profile firings I think
Speaker 1: we've seen in a decade or two in the city
Speaker 1: of Los Angeles. I mean, this is one of the
Speaker 1: bigger ones that we've seen in my time in LA
Speaker 1: in twenty one plus years. Is the Mayor of LA
Speaker 1: pointing the finger directly at the fire chief and saying
Speaker 1: that things she did compromise the ability of the LA
Speaker 1: Fire Department to respond to that fire. So, I mean,
Speaker 1: this is a massive, massive story and will continue to
Speaker 1: be so as even as the cleanup continues. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was just yesterday they identified a couple of the
Speaker 1: bodies that were found in the Palisades fire and the
Speaker 1: Eaten fire just yesterday. That's how that's how fresh this
Speaker 1: still is. Yeah, we're six weeks away from the actual
Speaker 1: flames breaking out, but they're still dealing with the immediate
Speaker 1: aftermath of these fires. And again the statement came in
Speaker 1: from Mayor Bass that as of this morning, she said,
Speaker 1: acting in the best interests of the LA Public safety
Speaker 1: and for the operations of the LA Fire Department, I
Speaker 1: have removed Kristin Crowley as fire chief. We know that
Speaker 1: a thousand firefighters that could have been on duty this morning,
Speaker 1: the fires broke out were instead sent home on Chief
Speaker 1: Crowley's watch. Also said that the Chief refused to participate
Speaker 1: in the after action report on the fires, that was
Speaker 1: after she was asked to do so by the Fire
Speaker 1: Commission President Jennethiah Hudley Hayes, and that those two issues
Speaker 1: combined together were the ones that required her removal. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, just pretty stunning, pretty stunning. As this decision
Speaker 1: sort of continues to ripple through city Hall, of course,
Speaker 1: we'll continue to bring you updates and any new new information.
Speaker 1: I think the hottest ticket in town now is going
Speaker 1: to be who gets to interview Chief Crowley first, And
Speaker 1: I know that we're going to definitely effort that here
Speaker 1: on KFI and see if we can get some comments
Speaker 1: specifically about what this means about any push back she
Speaker 1: might have about the allegations that were made against her
Speaker 1: by the mayor in this case, and it is it's
Speaker 1: not a great way to end the week, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you that.
Speaker 4: Not so great.
Speaker 1: So let's do a quick gear shift here before we
Speaker 1: wrap things up for our show. Obviously ran out of
Speaker 1: time to do our nine news nuggets you need to know,
Speaker 1: but we do have the ability to lighten things up
Speaker 1: a little bit before we kick off here for the
Speaker 1: weekend and welcome Shannon back on Monday. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: some of the things that maybe I don't know, things
Speaker 1: that you learned this week on the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 1: These are the things that we tried to inform you
Speaker 1: about what was going on. We tried to get you
Speaker 1: the best information about what was happening. So what did
Speaker 1: you learn this week on the Gary and Channon Show.
Speaker 6: Hey, Gary, this is Steve from Texas. I just want
Speaker 6: to say that I've learned this week. Is that your broadcast?
Speaker 6: It's pretty darn good the former to the point and
Speaker 6: not a lot of ask grab it. But anyway, I
Speaker 6: still love you Shannon.
Speaker 4: Y'all take care, good trucker there in the state of Texas.
Speaker 3: This week on The Gary and Channon Show, I learned
Speaker 3: that there are three factors that facilitate dream recollection.
Speaker 8: Number one, if dreaming is important to you, if you
Speaker 8: think they mean something, you'll likely remember them.
Speaker 3: Number two the ability of the day dream. Number three
Speaker 3: long periods of light sleep. Apparently, light sleep and brain
Speaker 3: activity during those light sleeps help you recall the dreams
Speaker 3: that you have. Anyway, y'all. Have a good weekend.
Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 8: What I learned on the Garian Chanleng Show this week
Speaker 8: is that apparently Channon's whereabouts or under the national secrets
Speaker 8: at you know, captain of Vallas and Funk and waggles Port,
Speaker 8: since you have today, yayats.
Speaker 4: Funk and Wagonle's porch. Haven't heard that a long time.
Speaker 7: What I learned Gary and Sheman is that if you're
Speaker 7: the mayor, you can skirt responsibility, blame somebody else for
Speaker 7: your egree, this complete lack of leadership, and make it
Speaker 7: seem it's okay. I am be fuddled at the firing
Speaker 7: of the fire chief. When is Bass going to take
Speaker 7: any responsibility?
Speaker 3: Vouch?
Speaker 6: Well? Hey Gary Box from HB.
Speaker 10: What I learned this week was you do a really
Speaker 10: good solo act, although I do miss the ass part
Speaker 10: of jas.
Speaker 4: Not sure what that means.
Speaker 3: Hey, this is John from sant Ana.
Speaker 2: What I learned this week was once football season was
Speaker 2: officially over, Shannon went to hell in a handbasket.
Speaker 4: Have a good week, hope to see everybody back on Monday.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 2: What I learned this week from the Gary and Cannon
Speaker 2: Show it was how incredibly painful.
Speaker 7: It is to have to go through withdrawal from.
Speaker 9: Not having Shannon on the radio.
Speaker 4: But Gay, you get a good job. Thank you, Shannon,
Speaker 4: come on back, come on see.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 10: What I've learned after four weeks straight of the Gary
Speaker 10: and Gary Show is that I miss Shannon way too
Speaker 10: much more than I should.
Speaker 6: But I think we all feel that way.
Speaker 3: Shannon.
Speaker 6: I hope everything's working out for you, Okay, love your chicks,
Speaker 6: see or hear from you whenever.
Speaker 3: She'll be.
Speaker 6: What I learned on the Gary and Shannon Show is yes,
Speaker 6: I miss Shannon, but you know what, I'll miss Gary
Speaker 6: just as much when he's not there too.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 6: And he can hit the post like a box.
Speaker 4: Yeah take it. By the way, did you pull that
Speaker 4: so I could show my wife I hit.
Speaker 7: The post top in the morning, Gary, Mark fisher Man
Speaker 7: just got these braces put on.
Speaker 3: What I learned this week I learned that Shannon don't
Speaker 3: like coming to work. What's going on with that? You've
Speaker 3: been broadcasting all week by yourself. How does that feel? Yeah,
Speaker 3: we're going.
Speaker 6: To keep on doing.
Speaker 4: Yes we are.
Speaker 3: I have a good one.
Speaker 4: Thank you too.
Speaker 9: What I have learned is that Gary and Chan are
Speaker 9: amazing together. But Gary does an amazing job and you've
Speaker 9: got some mean listeners. You are both a team and
Speaker 9: you're amazing to Gary, you and buy yourself.
Speaker 6: Thank you, love you all. This is the first time
Speaker 6: I've done this.
Speaker 4: Do it again, Do it again next week.
Speaker 10: What I learned on the Gary and Shannon Show this
Speaker 10: week is when Gary goes solo, he does a hell
Speaker 10: of a good job on teaching us and filling in
Speaker 10: what's going on internationally, nationally and locally with.
Speaker 3: The news stories, et cetera.
Speaker 10: You spell it out a really good, you know, understanding
Speaker 10: way for all of us. And this appreciated very much.
Speaker 10: That's not a slam on Shannon. Is this when you
Speaker 10: go solo, you really do a good job of teaching us.
Speaker 3: How's that though?
Speaker 5: Thank you Gary, and not Channon still missing her. And
Speaker 5: this is Tina from down Orange County. And what I
Speaker 5: learned this week was that Gary knows what ty bo is.
Speaker 5: I mean TiVo, remember Tibo with Billy Blanks.
Speaker 6: That was that was the.
Speaker 4: Okay, have a good weekend, all right.
Speaker 1: So the big story today, Mayor Karen Bass fires the
Speaker 1: chief of the La Fire Department, but then said in
Speaker 1: the news conference, the city of La is not in upheaval.
Speaker 4: You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 1: You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
Speaker 1: forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
Speaker 1: and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
