Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: Maybe the worm is turned. No, we know that that's
Speaker 2: not the case.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm hopeful. I like your optimism. So you voted
Speaker 3: today no line, though you said no line.
Speaker 2: When I got there.
Speaker 1: There was a little bit of a line when I
Speaker 1: was leaving, but they were moving people through.
Speaker 2: The machines are.
Speaker 1: Our user friendly, but I can see where they may
Speaker 1: be a little bit confusing for people. You putting in
Speaker 1: the ballot, doing the voting on the video board, and
Speaker 1: then it spits back your ballot, and then you got
Speaker 1: to feed it back in for it to be cast.
Speaker 2: It's a little bit of a rigamarole.
Speaker 1: I did notice that for president, the list of names,
Speaker 1: there's more people running for president than I knew about.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we ever, I mean.
Speaker 1: And you had to scroll down to get to the
Speaker 1: main candidates, which I thought is interesting.
Speaker 3: Well, they come up with a random assignment. They don't
Speaker 3: do them in alphabetical order, because so they come up
Speaker 3: with a random assignment.
Speaker 2: That's why it happens that way.
Speaker 3: But yeah, the place that we've been rehearsing for upcoming
Speaker 3: theater show opens on Friday.
Speaker 2: It's called The Matchmaker.
Speaker 3: All the information is now up on Instagram and our
Speaker 3: Facebook page as well. The other half of the building
Speaker 3: has been an early voting center, and last night the
Speaker 3: line was out the door really for people to vote early.
Speaker 3: So we'll see how it goes tonight. But polls close
Speaker 3: across the country starting at about four o'clock this afternoon
Speaker 3: our time. That is, in other states, the majority of
Speaker 3: the state's polls will close at either five or six
Speaker 3: or five o'clock or six o'clock. And then obviously on
Speaker 3: the West coast, the California's, Oregon's, Washington's, et cetera, including
Speaker 3: California will close at eight o'clock tonight.
Speaker 1: So the polling means nothing, right, It's just edge caated
Speaker 1: guesses of the people that were asked what they want.
Speaker 1: But I did hear that Nate Silver ran his simulation
Speaker 1: whatever at midnight eighty thousand times. Yeah, and it came
Speaker 1: back forty twelve for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I And I don't know how you come.
Speaker 3: I mean, that is so statistically insignificant, right that. But
Speaker 3: we talked yesterday about the you know, some of these
Speaker 3: people who watch polls and these statisticians who say it's
Speaker 3: it's just as crazy for these to be taught, for
Speaker 3: every single one of these polls to be tied as
Speaker 3: often as they are, as it would be to have
Speaker 3: completely disparate results where Trump's up by ten in one
Speaker 3: poll and then Harris is up by ten in the
Speaker 3: other pole. We did see some of the first person
Speaker 3: in person votes this morning, of course, the old legendary
Speaker 3: Dixville Notch. They all cast their votes at about midnight,
Speaker 3: and there were six total votes, three for Harris, three
Speaker 3: for Trump. First in person voting, and an absolute smashed record.
Speaker 3: Almost eighty million people voted mail in or in person
Speaker 3: early voting almost eighty million. It was seventy nine two
Speaker 3: hundred and seventy thousand. So one of the things that's
Speaker 3: going on throughout the course of the day is people
Speaker 3: have magnifying glasses on some of the otherwise relatively common
Speaker 3: election issues that are going to be coming up, ballot issues.
Speaker 3: One of the issues that has come up is already
Speaker 3: in the swing state of Pennsylvania. That brings with it
Speaker 3: even more attention. They said that there were some ballot
Speaker 3: scanners that were down in two counties. Two counties that,
Speaker 3: if you want to pay attention to this sort of thing,
Speaker 3: voted heavily Republican four years ago Cambria County and Bedford Counties.
Speaker 3: Some voters had posted on social media that they were
Speaker 3: being told to put their completed ballots in a lock box,
Speaker 3: that they would be scanned later, and just came down
Speaker 3: before the show started. A judge they are in Pennsylvania,
Speaker 3: has ruled that the voting time, the poll closing time
Speaker 3: specifically for Cambria County, can be extended till ten pm
Speaker 3: tonight to make sure that everybody has a chance to vote.
Speaker 1: We will have all the information as it rolls in.
Speaker 1: We'll also have tons of ways for you to get
Speaker 1: out of election coverage, different options, and we've got a
Speaker 1: great food poisoning story to get to as well.
Speaker 2: It's always fun. It's always fun when you do ask
Speaker 2: food poisoning.
Speaker 3: Ass food poisoning. This is like a cruise ship style food.
Speaker 1: But think about how much that would bring us together,
Speaker 1: Like if we all got food poisoning here at work
Speaker 1: at the same time.
Speaker 3: I'm curious as to what that how that plays out
Speaker 3: in your mind.
Speaker 2: It's just like trauma bonding. Oh well, I'm running to
Speaker 2: the bathroom. You're running to the bathroom.
Speaker 3: Someone's just lining up five gallon buckets in the hallway
Speaker 3: or something.
Speaker 1: We look at each other and we just know what
Speaker 1: each other's going through and there's a shared understanding.
Speaker 2: I know why you're crying. That's kind of thing, Shannon.
Speaker 4: You have got to check out the dog lover's story
Speaker 4: on Elena Tonietti's page on Facebook hashtag hoping for Hope
Speaker 4: is absolutely incredible story. Dog wandered off from the groomer
Speaker 4: over a week and a half ago, was found five
Speaker 4: days later by hunters in the woods, and has spent
Speaker 4: the last three days at the vets. Just came home
Speaker 4: this morning. We'll talk about your feel good story for the.
Speaker 3: Alena TONETI I don't know, I don't know the name beautiful.
Speaker 3: I mean he gave way the whole story.
Speaker 2: I want all good stories from you today. OK.
Speaker 5: Good morning Fonsie and Shanny. Hey, Happy happy election day
Speaker 5: to you guys. Quick question, what do you think would
Speaker 5: happen or is this a possibility if Kamala loses? Do
Speaker 5: you see the administration pushing out by the rest the
Speaker 5: way so they could still appoint her president and still
Speaker 5: have record breaking history making first black female US president.
Speaker 2: Interesting.
Speaker 3: I like the conspiracy theory, I mean sounds like a
Speaker 3: movie plot. But I don't know if anybody would be
Speaker 3: down for that unless, I mean there could be health issues.
Speaker 2: Listen, they hit a lot of I wouldn't be down
Speaker 2: for that three weeks ago.
Speaker 1: When you see Biden and the whole the Biden loyalists
Speaker 1: that say, you know, why wasn't he used more in
Speaker 1: the in the campaign? In the campaign, I'm like, what
Speaker 1: are you even talking about? I mean, he gave the
Speaker 1: biggest gaff of her entire run when he called everybody garbage.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It would have been a mistake to
Speaker 2: have it exactly. Hey, good morning, Garyan Shannon, it's JP.
Speaker 1: Are you guys.
Speaker 5: Do you guys have any idea how long or any
Speaker 5: guesses how long the recounts are going to take?
Speaker 2: Haha? Later that's a good question.
Speaker 1: Well, I was looking at the twenty twenty results. Many
Speaker 1: of those came in quickly. The AP called twenty six
Speaker 1: states instantly as their polls closed, another five within an hour.
Speaker 1: Forty five states in DC were called within twenty four hours,
Speaker 1: but Biden and Trump remained short of the electoral vote.
Speaker 1: The Pennsylvania call in Biden's favor came in over eighty
Speaker 1: seven hours after the polls closed there, and that decided
Speaker 1: the race. The call for Nevada came about fifteen minutes later.
Speaker 1: The AP called North Carolina for Trump, ten days after
Speaker 1: Georgia for Biden, sixteen days after the hen recounts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, these are now things have changed in some of
Speaker 3: those states. In Georgia specifically, they I've seen them listed
Speaker 3: like this. There's no there's no guarantee to know exactly
Speaker 3: when we're going to see these These seven battleground states
Speaker 3: have their official calls. But we do know that Georgia
Speaker 3: counts relatively fast, depending on the margin between the two candidates,
Speaker 3: because they will have like we saw four years ago,
Speaker 3: they have some automatic recounts depending on the margins. North
Speaker 3: Carolina also counts fast because they have new rules in
Speaker 3: place to prevent that from happening again. Pennsylvania will not
Speaker 3: likely be tonight simply because of how close it is. So,
Speaker 3: but Pennsylvania should come in relatively quickly. It should not
Speaker 3: be four days like it was before. Michigan, faster than
Speaker 3: in the past. Simply because of new rules that have
Speaker 3: been going in Wisconsin likely to finish counting tomorrow, most
Speaker 3: of it by tomorrow. And then the ones that they're
Speaker 3: saying could potentially take days are Arizona and Nevada. Arizona
Speaker 3: it looks like has been pulling positively for Trump lately,
Speaker 3: but listen, I mean we know that that doesn't necessarily
Speaker 3: mean anything. And then Vada as well could take days.
Speaker 3: So those being I don't want to say less important,
Speaker 3: because every one of these battleground states is going to
Speaker 3: be important in terms of their electoral votes, but Pennsylvania
Speaker 3: is the one that they have the candidates have been
Speaker 3: paying the most attention to, simply because it is that
Speaker 3: nineteen electoral votes.
Speaker 2: A couple things that you should know.
Speaker 1: This Friday, we are having our News and Bruise at
Speaker 1: Luchador Brewing and Chino Hills. It's going to be a party.
Speaker 1: We're going to have a great time. It's always it's
Speaker 1: always a great time there at Luchador Brewing. And also
Speaker 1: Gary's Adult Theater kicks off Friday night as well for
Speaker 1: two weekends. Do I need to get my tickets early
Speaker 1: or can I just get them at the.
Speaker 2: Door you'd probably want to get them early.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm not saying that they I mean they have
Speaker 3: extra chairs that they could put out if it.
Speaker 2: Gets but you'd want to get them early.
Speaker 3: There is the information about that is up on our
Speaker 3: Gary and Chen Instagram.
Speaker 2: What's it called again?
Speaker 3: The Matchmaker? The Matchmaker?
Speaker 2: And you sing and dance in it. No singing and
Speaker 2: very little dancing. So there is dancing. Well I don't
Speaker 2: sing at all.
Speaker 3: There is a tiny amount of singing and there is
Speaker 3: a tiny amount of dancing.
Speaker 2: Oh, there's a matinee.
Speaker 3: There is also a matinee on this second week of
Speaker 3: a matinee.
Speaker 2: Everybody loves it, Matt. It's just so nice something in
Speaker 2: the middle of the day, break up the day a
Speaker 2: little bit.
Speaker 3: But it's take in the theater, to be honest, right
Speaker 3: at naptime.
Speaker 1: It is right at nap time. You're gonna have a
Speaker 1: hard time, you know what. I'm gonna go get a
Speaker 1: diet coke.
Speaker 2: That sounds good, grab me, isn't it? Yeah? You want one?
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if I want one, because you
Speaker 3: never finished the whole thing. Maybe you pour some in
Speaker 3: your cup for me?
Speaker 2: Can you grab me one? Channa sure? Since you're going, yeah,
Speaker 2: you got it. Since you're down there.
Speaker 1: Kenyan Man is being found guilty of conspiring to steal
Speaker 1: a passenger plane and commit a nine to eleven inspired
Speaker 1: attack under direction of a terrorist organization.
Speaker 2: Toolo Abdi Abdullah.
Speaker 1: Was found guilty of conspiring to murder US nationals and
Speaker 1: providing material support to a terrorist organization.
Speaker 2: He faces life in prison.
Speaker 1: He was working for the Somalian group Al Shabab and
Speaker 1: trained with him for months. Prosecutors say he went to
Speaker 1: the Philippines for flight school from twenty seventeen to twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: and it researched the tallest buildings in a major in
Speaker 1: major American cities.
Speaker 3: I have a domestic terrorist, get it. Twenty four year
Speaker 3: old guy in Tennessee arrested. He said he was planning
Speaker 3: to use a drone to carry an explosive to destroy
Speaker 3: a power substation near Nashville to further his white supremacist ideology.
Speaker 3: Skyler Philippi of Columbia, Tennessee, plotted the attack to push
Speaker 3: an ideology called accelerationism, which calls for the complete collapse
Speaker 3: of American society.
Speaker 2: Wow, what a delightful gentleman. Fun How nice that guy.
Speaker 1: Is There were reports of vomit streaming down the windows.
Speaker 2: It was carnage.
Speaker 1: That is the direct quote from students who were at
Speaker 1: the mass food poisoning in New Zealand.
Speaker 2: Vomit streaming down the windows. It's better than election. Yes,
Speaker 2: it was such glee.
Speaker 1: Did I say that this was at the University of
Speaker 1: Canterbury and they said it was carnage. Across two university
Speaker 1: halls in New Zealand, there were early morning lines for toilets,
Speaker 1: vomit dripping down the building windows.
Speaker 2: How awful if you had.
Speaker 1: This line, Oh my god, and students abandoning exams to
Speaker 1: dash to the bathroom. More than one hundred students reported
Speaker 1: being struck down with vomiting and diarrhea.
Speaker 3: The cause of this has yet to be determined, but
Speaker 3: students at the university hall and the Ilam apartments both
Speaker 3: run by the Housing Department apparently so they began feeling
Speaker 3: six Sunday night after they ate the catered chicken suflakia dinner.
Speaker 2: That sounds pretty safe.
Speaker 1: I mean chicken kebabs, some Greek chicken, garlic, oregano, some rosemary.
Speaker 1: One student if it was the yogurt that you dip
Speaker 1: it in the Gazeki.
Speaker 3: One student remained anonymous for good reason, told the newspaper
Speaker 3: she had used the toilet more than a dozen times
Speaker 3: Monday morning and then and wasn't through. She soiled herself
Speaker 3: at the university library because the tones were full.
Speaker 2: Has that ever happened to you?
Speaker 1: No, that would happened to you. I know someone. No,
Speaker 1: it's not me, ah, but I have a friend. You
Speaker 1: have a friend. I know somebody who we were all
Speaker 1: having it was a group dinner or whatever, and this
Speaker 1: person had to go really badly. But the restaurant bathroom
Speaker 1: was out of order or something ouch, and this person
Speaker 1: ran in the rain, probably seven blocks or so to
Speaker 1: get back to the place where.
Speaker 2: They were staying. The time.
Speaker 1: It was not me, It was not me, But I
Speaker 1: knew when this person took off running, I knew why
Speaker 1: because there's only one.
Speaker 2: There's only one.
Speaker 1: Reason that you take off that quickly from a dinner
Speaker 1: where there's other people and and you just it's a
Speaker 1: mad dash. It's a it's a one hundred yard dash.
Speaker 1: That's an off. That's got to be an awful feeling,
Speaker 1: like you don't even know, sweating and thinking about like
Speaker 1: even when I get there, like I've got to get
Speaker 1: in the building, like, oh my goodness, you're going to
Speaker 1: this poor girl is waiting in the library and craps
Speaker 1: or pants.
Speaker 2: That's awful.
Speaker 3: Well, the only thing that makes it okay is that
Speaker 3: she's not alone.
Speaker 2: I mean, like you said, that shared trauma right right.
Speaker 1: This is really how food poisoning should go. It should
Speaker 1: never just be one person. It should be the whole house,
Speaker 1: or the whole college, or the whole newsroom or what
Speaker 1: have you. Everyone should be afflicted at the same time,
Speaker 1: just so that nobody is singled out.
Speaker 3: They have tried, they try to track down, obviously what
Speaker 3: caused this so it doesn't happen again. Students had a
Speaker 3: questionnaire that was sent a twenty question questionnaire sent to
Speaker 3: the students who were sick. Provide, please provide details on
Speaker 3: everything you ate from Friday through Sunday night, down to
Speaker 3: what meals, what breads, what sauces, what meats They selected
Speaker 3: for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and also asked if they
Speaker 3: had changed a diaper or were in contact with anyone
Speaker 3: else's diarrha in the week before they became.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because how often are you in contact with
Speaker 1: somebody else's diarrhea.
Speaker 2: Yeah not well, I don't know. But maybe you go
Speaker 2: swimming in a pool.
Speaker 3: It's a sign that right there on the pool says hey,
Speaker 3: don't don't swim right, you wouldn't necessarily.
Speaker 2: Know it exactly.
Speaker 1: If I've been in contact with someone else's diarrhea, I
Speaker 1: don't want to know it. I'll tell you that, all right.
Speaker 1: How funny is it that I'm like looking through news
Speaker 1: this morning? I was like, oh, this is good. Oh
Speaker 1: ditt food poisoning. Yes, let's put this in the show.
Speaker 1: Yeah teen crap your pants, that's right. It's a new sport.
Speaker 3: There's one there's one link to a story of the
Speaker 3: time that we ran out of Bucatini.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in twenty twenty, we ran out of Bukatini.
Speaker 2: Here's what happened.
Speaker 3: Uh So, there's plenty of options for people to to ignore.
Speaker 2: Or at least take a break from some of the
Speaker 2: election news.
Speaker 1: Videos on a team of amazing specialists who repaired an
Speaker 1: old jukebox one hundred and fifty year old.
Speaker 2: Watch a seventy year old teddy Bear.
Speaker 1: Everything gets fixed, everyone is nice, and the heirloom owners
Speaker 1: are overjoyed.
Speaker 2: Also, the guys are pretty hot. Apparently easy tiger. That's
Speaker 2: what they say. That's what they say.
Speaker 3: One of the most under publicized policies of US retailers
Speaker 3: is that you can sometimes get a full refund and
Speaker 3: keep the piece of crap item that you got that
Speaker 3: you didn't want in the first.
Speaker 2: It's just transferring of garbage, isn't it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, returnless refunds is what they're called. Some companies, Amazon, Walmart, Target,
Speaker 3: they've decided that some items are simply not worth the
Speaker 3: cost or the hassle excuse me of getting it back.
Speaker 3: So a twenty dollars T shirt sent to you might
Speaker 3: cost as much as thirty dollars in shipping and handling
Speaker 3: To send it back at that the company would have
Speaker 3: to then eat. And these are single use items, package
Speaker 3: of plastic straws, whatever I mean. In Amazon, you can
Speaker 3: buy batteries or tiny little pieces of you know, rubber
Speaker 3: washers or something like that.
Speaker 2: They're not going to want those back.
Speaker 3: They'll just send you the either the right package or
Speaker 3: you know, allow you to keep it without any charge.
Speaker 1: What woman said she received a return free refund recently
Speaker 1: after ordering a desk from Amazon. Amazon costs roughly three
Speaker 1: hundred dollars When the desk arrived, she noticed it was
Speaker 1: missing some key pieces and would be impossible to put together.
Speaker 1: She couldn't request a replacement replacement and have it within
Speaker 1: a reasonable amount of time for the office because the
Speaker 1: item was out of stock, so she said she got
Speaker 1: a refund without having to send back the desk.
Speaker 2: I did this. I have a particular.
Speaker 3: A shirt company that I like that does those vintage
Speaker 3: baseball jerseys, the Hebbitsfield flannels.
Speaker 2: And this would have been four or five years ago.
Speaker 3: I bought a bunch of T shirts for friends, and
Speaker 3: like five or six different T shirts and they were
Speaker 3: all different sizes. But when they sent me the pack,
Speaker 3: it was all they were all larges. And I said, well,
Speaker 3: I need some of these again, and they said, just
Speaker 3: keep those, we'll send you the replacements.
Speaker 2: Wow. So I got five free T shirts. I don't
Speaker 2: know how I lucked out.
Speaker 3: It was they were all my size, and your wife said, great,
Speaker 3: more T shirts.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 3: Amazon announced in August that it's going to extend the
Speaker 3: option to the third party sellers who drive most of
Speaker 3: the sales on their platform, and under this program, any
Speaker 3: third party seller who uses the company's fulfillment services in
Speaker 3: the US could choose to either offer customers a traditional
Speaker 3: refund for purchases under seventy five dollars, but there would
Speaker 3: also be no obligation to return what they ordered. They
Speaker 3: have I've pitched their returnless refunds more directly to international
Speaker 3: sellers and those who offer the cheap goods. But for example,
Speaker 3: items sold in an upcoming section of amazons a website
Speaker 3: which allows shoppers to buy low cost goods shipped directly
Speaker 3: from China that sounds like fun will also be eligible
Speaker 3: for returnless refunds. And how do you how did they
Speaker 3: determine if you really mean it? That I think is
Speaker 3: going to be the biggest issue. So let's say you
Speaker 3: order a I don't know, fifty dollars hair dryer.
Speaker 2: How much the hair dryer.
Speaker 3: Costs twenty bucks?
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know, I've ut one for a while.
Speaker 1: It's probably the forty bucks. Now you went high end.
Speaker 3: So let's say you paid fifty bucks for a hair
Speaker 3: dryer and you said, but I'm going to get my
Speaker 3: money back, so I get it for free, and you
Speaker 3: type in that you complain about the thing didn't or
Speaker 3: the cord didn't retract, or the thing wasn't hot. Or whatever,
Speaker 3: and they go, well, there's your fifty bucks back, and
Speaker 3: you lied your way to a free hair dryer. How
Speaker 3: do they prevent that?
Speaker 2: How do you feel good about your self?
Speaker 1: Right free hair dry especially after you lied your way
Speaker 1: into free T shirts.
Speaker 3: I also did not lie, but I did get free
Speaker 3: T shirts, which was nice, nice for me.
Speaker 1: Okay, I usually get excited about the twelve o'clock hour,
Speaker 1: but today all my excitement is in the ten o'clock hour.
Speaker 1: Why is that? Because it's our animal hour? Do we
Speaker 1: have an update on Peanut?
Speaker 2: The squirrel? Still dead, still dead?
Speaker 3: But Elon Musk today tweeted, oh, no vote for peanut,
Speaker 3: vote for freedom. It really is in a computer generated
Speaker 3: squirrel wearing a red Maga hat.
Speaker 1: It really is an egregious level of bureaucracy that in
Speaker 1: New York State. Because everything else has been solved in
Speaker 1: New York State, right, all the crime has been solved,
Speaker 1: All the heroin addicts and the hoboes are off the streets.
Speaker 1: No one's getting killed on subways. It's a one full
Speaker 1: land of sparkles and rainbows and Graham Cracker streets. So
Speaker 1: we can focus on the one couple that has a
Speaker 1: squirrel and a raccoon that have never bothered anyone, right.
Speaker 2: But anyway, and kill them.
Speaker 1: And kill them, just take them away, kill them, kill
Speaker 1: them right as so Unamerican.
Speaker 2: You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.

Speaker 3: forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
