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: A big round of applause, by the way, for those
Speaker 2: of you who have already purchased your KFIPA, how about that?
Speaker 3: How did it tay? So it's pretty good, right.
Speaker 2: This is the fifth different version of KFIPA that they
Speaker 2: have made for so come on out and grab some.
Speaker 2: It's on tap here. It's also in can so you
Speaker 2: can take some with you when you take off.
Speaker 1: I hate to bring things down, but big breaking news
Speaker 1: out of Germany.
Speaker 3: This Why do we always have terrorist attacks when we
Speaker 3: do these shows?
Speaker 1: Now they're usually in Europe. This one is as well.
Speaker 1: A salient assailant stabbed people. This was at a central
Speaker 1: railway station in Hamburg Injuring twelve. Six critical at this
Speaker 1: point person attack people with a knife on the platform
Speaker 1: between tracks thirteen and fourteen at the station. They said
Speaker 1: that the suspect was arrested. No more details, but that
Speaker 1: six do have life threatening issues. Again, twelve people. This
Speaker 1: is a major hub Hamburg, Germany, a major portal there
Speaker 1: at that train station, so definitely a place that would
Speaker 1: be target rich, I would assume, so we'll bring you
Speaker 1: those details as we get them.
Speaker 2: We obviously have had great weather here in southern California.
Speaker 2: We had a little bit of a heat wave where
Speaker 2: it got up too close to one hundred in the
Speaker 2: San Fernando Valley over the middle of this week. Beautiful
Speaker 2: weather out here today. It is not the case back east.
Speaker 2: They're talking about an unusual nor'easter storm for May pulling
Speaker 2: away from New England. Massachusetts and Rhode Island got several
Speaker 2: inches of rain. The town of Kingston, Massachusetts got over
Speaker 2: seven inches of rain in one day. They were talking
Speaker 2: about some of New Hampshire's higher mountains actually got snow
Speaker 2: overnight because it's been that cold and that strong of
Speaker 2: a storm through there. Three and a half inches on
Speaker 2: Mount Washington there in New Hampshire. Quick other I guess
Speaker 2: bookkeeping because we haven't. It's a story that we've been
Speaker 2: following for the last couple of days. A judge has
Speaker 2: now temporarily blocked the Trump administration from revoking Harvard's ability.
Speaker 3: To enroll international students. That's the plan.
Speaker 2: The Trump administration made that yesterday, made that a policy yesterday.
Speaker 2: Harvard sued them this morning, and then later on in
Speaker 2: the day. Later in the morning, a federal judge temporarily
Speaker 2: blocked the administration from.
Speaker 3: From revoking Are you booing, Harvard? Are you okay? Just
Speaker 3: all right?
Speaker 2: Just making sure so all that is going on. We
Speaker 2: also talked a couple minutes ago about that woman that
Speaker 2: was lost for three weeks and yeah, okay, do you
Speaker 2: hear about the guy that was attacking people in the
Speaker 2: Angelus National Forest? Yes, sixty six year old guy claims
Speaker 2: that he lives in a shack in the Angelus National Forest.
Speaker 1: It's his suity.
Speaker 2: He's been charged now with threatening five hikers get off
Speaker 2: my lawn, is basically what he said. He was threatening
Speaker 2: them with knives and branches.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then when the La County Sheriff's deputies show up to.
Speaker 2: Arrest him, he high yeah, kicks one right in the nuts.
Speaker 3: Really yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He sounds like he's got it all worked out upstairs.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And they said that there is a shack in the
Speaker 2: forest that they believe he's been living in. He when
Speaker 2: the deputy showed up, he climbed up a tree really
Speaker 2: fast so that they couldn't get to him.
Speaker 1: Sounds like a nice retirement.
Speaker 2: They had to talk him out of the tree, and
Speaker 2: one of the ways that they did that was they said, well, promise,
Speaker 2: we let you put your knife away at your house
Speaker 2: if you come down out of the tree, and then
Speaker 2: he kicked him in the nuts.
Speaker 1: Well, the FBI is warning about a threat moving across
Speaker 1: the country targeting citizens via text message. Is it too
Speaker 1: late to play the thing?
Speaker 3: The text message, well, the swamp watch. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: If we want to, you won't even do it.
Speaker 1: I thought, well, it's the FBI. It's kind of swampy.
Speaker 2: We could have Eric just sing it, Eric, did you
Speaker 2: play the swamp watch thing?
Speaker 1: Where did Eric go?
Speaker 3: Elmer? Why don't you play the swamp watch thing? And
Speaker 3: why there it is? And when I'm not kissing babies,
Speaker 3: I'm stealing the lollipop.
Speaker 5: Here we got.
Speaker 4: The real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 1: The other side never quit.
Speaker 6: So I'm not going anywhere sorain the swap.
Speaker 3: I can imagine what can be and be unburdened.
Speaker 1: By one has been.
Speaker 5: You know, Americans have always been going. They're not stupid.
Speaker 3: How political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 3: We have the people voted for you a nast swamp watch.
Speaker 5: They're all canal.
Speaker 1: Before we get to the FBI trying to steal our
Speaker 1: identity or not.
Speaker 3: The NBI people.
Speaker 1: Us about people trying to sell our day. I forgot
Speaker 1: to tell you the breasts story. Okay, So we were
Speaker 1: out at the uh this isn't really a sex story, but.
Speaker 3: I mean, let us let us determine that, all right.
Speaker 1: So my husband and I were out at a Yellowstone
Speaker 1: this week and we're we're driving. It's a beautiful day.
Speaker 1: It was Monday or Tuesday, I don't know, and the
Speaker 1: Grand Tetons are in the in the in the windshield
Speaker 1: and I said, look at those Tetons. Those are grand
Speaker 1: beautiful Titons and he said they are, aren't they just beautiful?
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, Hong Kong, and he let it go. Okay,
Speaker 1: he says nothing. A couple of minutes later, we round
Speaker 1: the bend. It's another view of the Grand Tetons. I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: those are beautiful, honk Kok and I think I did
Speaker 1: this at that point and he looks at me. He's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's not going to be a thing. And he was
Speaker 1: super serious, that's not gonna be a thing. I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's not going to be a thing. He's like, no,
Speaker 1: it's not going to be a thing. And so then
Speaker 1: I started laughing because I'm like that you're taking this
Speaker 1: though seriously about that being a thing is hilarious and
Speaker 1: now it's obviously going to.
Speaker 5: Be a thing.
Speaker 3: Okay, to be clear, I mean, just to kind of
Speaker 3: pull the curtain back a little bit.
Speaker 1: We say hong kok all the time.
Speaker 2: Yes, if we if you're listening to the show and
Speaker 2: we say honk honk, we're probably doing this with our
Speaker 2: hands too.
Speaker 1: Right, because we're fine, yes, but it's important to embrace
Speaker 1: your inner child.
Speaker 3: There are also times.
Speaker 2: There are also times when we don't say it, but
Speaker 2: we're telling a story where that's part of the story
Speaker 2: and we'll just do this. We'll just do this in
Speaker 2: the studio, like you know what I'm talking about, right
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 3: So there's a.
Speaker 2: Little bit of that sort of inside baseball that goes
Speaker 2: on when when there's nobody around, you put the.
Speaker 1: Kibosh on that real quick, because it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: you could be seven at work, Shannon, but not in
Speaker 1: realizing well.
Speaker 2: And this is because usually when we do the show,
Speaker 2: it's two of us sitting in a room, right, and
Speaker 2: it's you know, we don't have one hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: of our closest friends out here.
Speaker 1: You just feel little weird doing this in front of people.
Speaker 1: I'll stop, all right, we'll.
Speaker 3: Come back with our story.
Speaker 2: The FBI wants to prevent you from getting ripped off.
Speaker 2: And I've been getting all kinds of these technows and this.
Speaker 1: Is the thing. I never delete that. I mean I
Speaker 1: delete them sometimes, but sometimes they come in. I just
Speaker 1: leave them on the phone. You got to delete.
Speaker 2: You got to delete them. H We'll talk about it
Speaker 2: and we come back. Also a chance at one thousand
Speaker 2: bucks coming up. If you're in the house. Stick around
Speaker 2: another trivia contest here during the commercial break.
Speaker 1: That's exciting.
Speaker 3: Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: Am sixty.
Speaker 3: I think that's our pizza.
Speaker 2: That's the that's the pepperoni and sausage and bel peppers
Speaker 2: and extra cheese.
Speaker 3: I know, I know, stupid so good.
Speaker 1: That was my order from Pagliacchi's and Seattle sausage pepperoni,
Speaker 1: not Jet City Pagliachi's. All right, No good old days huh,
Speaker 1: so we don't have to agree on everything.
Speaker 3: What time does bingo start around here?
Speaker 1: I love bingo.
Speaker 2: That keyword again goes on the website. If you win
Speaker 2: that thousand, they'll notify a via email and then we'll
Speaker 2: do it again an hour from now.
Speaker 3: That is give you a thousand bucks.
Speaker 1: Okay, I've got a good story. But first, let's just
Speaker 1: talk really briefly about this FBI thing to save our lives.
Speaker 1: The FBI is warning about this threat moving across America
Speaker 1: state to state, targeting citizens with these malicious text messages
Speaker 1: iPhones androids everyone. They say, just delete all of the
Speaker 1: text messages that look like they're spam. Just delete them
Speaker 1: right away because if they stay on your phone, they're
Speaker 1: going to be problematic. This is a new report. It
Speaker 1: tries to get you to reveal personal and or financial information,
Speaker 1: credit debit card account information and all the things. You'll
Speaker 1: see it with the toll road scam text messages. Don't
Speaker 1: click on those, that's the thing you click, and then
Speaker 1: they sometimes get access to stuff that's in your phone.
Speaker 1: There's delete it as you when you get it.
Speaker 2: When they're really good if you're not careful about it,
Speaker 2: because they'll do things like local the they'll specific specifically
Speaker 2: include the DMV, dot c A, dot gov, but they'll
Speaker 2: take out one of the dots or they'll put two
Speaker 2: dots or something like that.
Speaker 3: It's really really clever that give.
Speaker 1: No one money until they come to your door to
Speaker 1: arrest you, you.
Speaker 7: Know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like they'll they'll call them'll be like, I'm the I
Speaker 1: R S one way to do it, and they'll say
Speaker 1: you're gonna be arrested. If the toll, well, then come
Speaker 1: arrest me, you know what I mean, that's what you.
Speaker 5: Got to do.
Speaker 3: So they just say be careful.
Speaker 2: Not only should you not do it, don't click on it,
Speaker 2: just delete it. You can report a lot of times
Speaker 2: with your iPhone. If you have that, you can report.
Speaker 2: You can tone no all the camels here.
Speaker 1: I love surprise animals. Are you ready for your good story?
Speaker 3: I'm ready for my happy sh Do.
Speaker 1: We have any nice music? You guys are gonna love
Speaker 1: this story?
Speaker 5: Just great music.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's fine, I guess.
Speaker 3: Well do you want.
Speaker 1: Now? It involves a son and his parents.
Speaker 3: Iesus go ahead. Kybert Ruiz.
Speaker 1: His parents were able to see him play a game
Speaker 1: in the Majors for the first time. Last night, Ruiz
Speaker 1: delivered his first at bat for the Washington Nationals against
Speaker 1: the Braves last night, drove an RBI double off the
Speaker 1: right field wall in the first inning. He immediately turns
Speaker 1: and waves to his parents in the crowd, who are
Speaker 1: jumping for joy screaming after seeing the hit. His mother
Speaker 1: filmed the whole bat on her phone. He said in postgame,
Speaker 1: dream come true for me. There were a lot of motions.
Speaker 1: They made a lot of sacrifices for me to see
Speaker 1: me play in the big leagues as a blessing. He's
Speaker 1: twenty six. He made his major league debut in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty for the Dodgers, but was playing the majors for
Speaker 1: hundreds of games. This was the first time his parents
Speaker 1: were able to see him in the majors. They made
Speaker 1: the trip from Venezuela.
Speaker 3: That's really cool.
Speaker 2: Those stories about baseball and the long process that it
Speaker 2: takes to get to the major leagues.
Speaker 1: And the sacrifices, especially for parents from Central America's America
Speaker 1: to you know, you hear, you hear the stories about
Speaker 1: what what players need to do just to get here
Speaker 1: for the opportunity. You know, Puigue was like trafficked sixteen
Speaker 1: times or something.
Speaker 3: Where is see right now?
Speaker 1: Where is y'all sale point?
Speaker 2: I think he's playing in Japan and still not running
Speaker 2: out the grounders.
Speaker 1: I'd never heard Vin more upset as he should.
Speaker 2: The other baseball story that we've been following is the
Speaker 2: Angels beat the A's again ten to five yesterday up
Speaker 2: in Sacramento. The Angels have now won seven in a row.
Speaker 2: They are still one game below five hundred, but they're
Speaker 2: definitely pointed in the right direction, and all of that.
Speaker 2: Without Mike Trout, they've just all come together. They get
Speaker 2: to host the Marlins this weekend. Their first pitch is
Speaker 2: going to be at six thirty eight tonight. Dodgers are
Speaker 2: in New York to take on the Mets. They do
Speaker 2: that first gay first pitch is at four to ten
Speaker 2: our time.
Speaker 1: And then I smell the camels. You guys, do you
Speaker 1: smell that?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 3: Sorry, that's probably I was worried it was you.
Speaker 2: And then I remember, I'm gonna always remember that you
Speaker 2: thought I smelled like a camel at.
Speaker 1: One point, maybe new detergent.
Speaker 3: I don't know camel detergent.
Speaker 2: And then the last baseball note is we mentioned this earlier.
Speaker 2: The Colorado Rockies are god awful. The Colorado Rockies have
Speaker 2: now lost still, I have now lost more games to
Speaker 2: start a gate to start a season than any other team.
Speaker 2: In fifty games. They are eight and forty two.
Speaker 1: It's like the major motion picture Major League where they're
Speaker 1: tanking the season on purpose to get rid of the
Speaker 1: broad that they don't like as the owner.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then they what then they have to take
Speaker 2: the little clothes off.
Speaker 3: Isn't that what? Yeah, they take it off.
Speaker 1: The peace win I'd watched that documentary.
Speaker 2: Have you guys heard about Kim Jong UN's latest ship
Speaker 2: that went down? Kim Jong oops in North Korea. They
Speaker 2: were going to launch a warship in North Korea. So
Speaker 2: they bring out their dear leader, Kim Jong un, and
Speaker 2: he watches this thing fall over onto its side and sink.
Speaker 3: Right in front of him.
Speaker 2: A five thousand ton destroyer had been docked at a
Speaker 2: shipyard up in the northern northeastern part of North Korea.
Speaker 2: The hull got crushed and the bow got stranded on
Speaker 2: the shipway because they were taking it out of the
Speaker 2: dry dock and filling it up. There's some mechanism that
Speaker 2: didn't work right and right in front of his big
Speaker 2: fireworks and the army that was supposed to look all cool,
Speaker 2: they look like complete morons.
Speaker 3: He said.
Speaker 2: He said it was because of somebody that was bad
Speaker 2: in the ranks and that they have been killed already.
Speaker 2: So I don't know if it was just an accident
Speaker 2: or if he claims that it was a sabotage.
Speaker 1: We should start doing that around here.
Speaker 3: You seeking the ships still.
Speaker 1: Kim jong Unie, you know you do something wrong.
Speaker 2: Sh We are live today of Bravery Brewing here at Lancaster.
Speaker 2: Don't forget to pick up your four packs of KFIPA.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that pizza, it's also on draft. Do you know
Speaker 3: where that camel smells coming from?
Speaker 1: Is it camel pizza?
Speaker 3: It's the camel. Oh, he's right here.
Speaker 1: You're scared of I'm sorry, camel. I didn't mean to
Speaker 1: scare you.
Speaker 2: We'll do a light golf collap so we don't scare
Speaker 2: the camel. Gary and Shannon, we'll be back here at
Speaker 2: Bravery Brewing for our news and Bruce here in just
Speaker 2: a few minutes.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: One of the things that we have been watching was stocks. Today.
Speaker 3: President Trump ramped up the trade fight again.
Speaker 2: This one he's talking about Apple specifically and said that
Speaker 2: if Apple doesn't want to make its iPhones in the
Speaker 2: United States, the ones that it sells in the United States,
Speaker 2: that it should put a twenty five percent tariff on that.
Speaker 2: So we'll see where that goes. Apple stock was actually
Speaker 2: down as a result of that. He also went after
Speaker 2: the European Union, said that the talks with the EU
Speaker 2: have gone nowhere, and he is threatening a fifty percent
Speaker 2: across the board tariff to begin next month June first, is.
Speaker 3: What he had.
Speaker 2: So the stock markets have been in negative territory. That
Speaker 2: Dow is down about one hundred points s and P
Speaker 2: five hundred. Nasdaq also down just a half a percent
Speaker 2: or so. That's just one of the stories that's going
Speaker 2: on today.
Speaker 1: We got a brand new football club here in Lancaster.
Speaker 1: This is exciting. Yeah, Alta football club Alta here in
Speaker 1: Lancaster just founded.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: John is the president here.
Speaker 5: Yep.
Speaker 1: I don't know why I thought you were John and
Speaker 1: you were not John and you were Nanny. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just did a little quick math here. But John,
Speaker 1: tell us about your story. How was Alta born.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So I've been in a professional sports business my whole career,
Speaker 7: and I knew that Lancaster Municipal Stadium was empty after
Speaker 7: the JetHawks.
Speaker 5: That's right.
Speaker 7: Major League Baseball folded forty teams across the country and
Speaker 7: minor league team one of them was Lancaster. So I
Speaker 7: about two and a half years ago, I just sent
Speaker 7: an email call to the city of Lancaster and that
Speaker 7: if you convert the stadium from baseball to soccer, I
Speaker 7: would bring a professional team.
Speaker 3: And they said yes.
Speaker 1: So how did you have this idea?
Speaker 3: I love soccer, I love the game.
Speaker 7: I think I believe in all the community aspects of
Speaker 7: it and unity of it. And I just felt this
Speaker 7: was a community that would support the club and and
Speaker 7: they have.
Speaker 1: So you're like Ryan Reynolds, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And he's the other guy.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 2: His name, So Rob Malcolm, Hey, okay, So Neamas Blanco
Speaker 2: is the GM So how did you guys get hooked up?
Speaker 5: How did Actually I was in in the league and then.
Speaker 4: Mutual acquaintances and and one of the employees that jumped
Speaker 4: on quickly contacted me and I came to visit. I
Speaker 4: think it was a Sunday or a Monday and saw
Speaker 4: the stadium and I saw how the city of Lancaster
Speaker 4: supported uh the team and and the project, and I
Speaker 4: told him verbatim, this is this is a gold mine.
Speaker 4: This is something that I could get behind. And the
Speaker 4: community was amazing. There was already a supporter club here
Speaker 4: before we even kicked the ball.
Speaker 1: Sence, I was gonna say, you can't find a better
Speaker 1: community to start something up that needs community. I mean,
Speaker 1: the people show up here, people always show up, and
Speaker 1: they show up for each other here, and there's not
Speaker 1: a lot of places like that, certainly not in La County.
Speaker 1: So I imagine it was just instant fan base.
Speaker 7: Yeah, not quite instant, but yeah, it took a little
Speaker 7: bit of time. But yes, by the time we did
Speaker 7: our inaugural match, yeah we sold that out in advance.
Speaker 3: That was right at the beginning of April.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was April fifth.
Speaker 7: And then we we've played a bunch of games since
Speaker 7: we played in the US Open Cup. We won three
Speaker 7: US Open Cup games and got to play FC Dallas
Speaker 7: and Major League Soccer, and now we're playing our regular
Speaker 7: League one schedule, which is Men's Division III.
Speaker 2: Okay, how many so go down the layers of soccer
Speaker 2: in the United States.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we have MLS, which is LAFC Galaxy. Then
Speaker 4: we have USL Championship, which the USL umbrellas the whole league,
Speaker 4: so it's us L Championship, and then USL won. So
Speaker 4: the US Open Cup is we have amateur teams all
Speaker 4: the way to MLS teams and the further you go,
Speaker 4: that's when you get to play MLS team. So we
Speaker 4: got to the fourth round. It was amazing to be
Speaker 4: at the stadium and see Lancaster, California inside of the
Speaker 4: Toyota Stadium and we put the team on the map.
Speaker 1: Question thinking about it, right, your name?
Speaker 2: Does it work the same way where if you win
Speaker 2: successively you can move up into different leagues?
Speaker 5: Is that?
Speaker 4: And that's coming John actually gets on these President's calls.
Speaker 4: But pro route so promotion relegation is when you win,
Speaker 4: you get to have the chance to go up.
Speaker 5: Sure, so you win, Let's say if we.
Speaker 4: Were in the third division and we went out the
Speaker 4: league and then we win a championship, we have the
Speaker 4: opportunity to move up to second division and so on.
Speaker 1: How did you come up with the name and the
Speaker 1: colors and the all the branding.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so we we had we hired a professional designer,
Speaker 7: which was good, but we also did a bunch of
Speaker 7: listening sessions with the community. And the things that this
Speaker 7: community really resonate with are the B two bomber because
Speaker 7: it's made here in the Annelo Valley, and also the
Speaker 7: Joshua tree, which is a real iconic symbol. And so
Speaker 7: we took all the colors of the desert and the
Speaker 7: Joshua tree.
Speaker 3: We have hints of.
Speaker 7: The B two bomber and the logo the shield itself
Speaker 7: as a poppy flower. So we took all these elements,
Speaker 7: brought it together and it's been really successful.
Speaker 3: People have really embraced it.
Speaker 1: Do you have a Joshua Tree somebody to dress like
Speaker 1: a Joshua Tree at the mascot, because I would do that. Okay,
Speaker 1: have one mask, I could be like a little Joshua tree.
Speaker 2: One of those August matches that you have and sweaty
Speaker 2: or the call.
Speaker 3: That's tightly great.
Speaker 2: You mentioned that the city was very cooperative and you know,
Speaker 2: excited about it, and obviously the fan base they've shown
Speaker 2: up pretty quickly. Have other businesses as the business community
Speaker 2: come alongside you as well.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we've done really well in sponsorship sales all local businesses.
Speaker 3: And yeah, they've really embraced us.
Speaker 7: When we were just a PowerPoint, I mean, long before
Speaker 7: we had a team, we were pitching Edwards Federal Credit Union,
Speaker 7: Paris law firm Bravery has been a sponsor of ours
Speaker 7: and so yeah, we've probably outperformed in the sponsorship game.
Speaker 1: So players, anybody we should be uh be focused.
Speaker 5: On, actually excited to see this.
Speaker 4: We have Denzel Smith turned out into Bagel national team.
Speaker 4: He just called up, got called up for the national
Speaker 4: team and turned out to Bagel. So he will be
Speaker 4: playing against the United States here in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Do you do recruiting trips and stuff?
Speaker 4: We try to limit those. We went to Argentina, we
Speaker 4: went all over the United State, eights. We have there's
Speaker 4: a lot of software out there. One of them is
Speaker 4: called wiy scout. So if I input your name, it
Speaker 4: would give me every time you touched the ball, every aerial,
Speaker 4: every every little detail.
Speaker 1: So how does that work? I mean as a GM,
Speaker 1: is it like football where you find these diamonds in
Speaker 1: the rough? Essentially?
Speaker 3: Was it a balls joke?
Speaker 1: You're laughing at a balls joke. Okay, it must have
Speaker 1: been a genital joke.
Speaker 3: Play that just for everybody.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna rewind that the adults, Nina, you didn't mean
Speaker 2: to do this, but because I'm eleven, okay, you said
Speaker 2: you have a computer software program. Right, they heard it
Speaker 2: too because they were laughing as well. You have a
Speaker 2: computer program that will tell us every time Shannon has
Speaker 2: touched a ball all the When the adults talk too fast,
Speaker 2: those kind of slipped through the cracks, and we didn't
Speaker 2: want that to slip through all right, back.
Speaker 3: To the story. Stopped laughing.
Speaker 1: Sorry, I'm just I'm just disappointed in myself. I missed it.
Speaker 4: I didn't get any thank you.
Speaker 1: So is GM though. You find these like diamonds are up,
Speaker 1: you bring them or you sign them up for your club,
Speaker 1: and then I mean, what's that feel like for you
Speaker 1: to see them them do well and to grow. I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously you're very new, but this is that's your job, right, yes,
Speaker 1: you know theirs.
Speaker 5: The first one was exciting was mcali Bara.
Speaker 4: He was from Lancaster, California, played high school in Lancaster, California,
Speaker 4: went to a JC college, then went to a four
Speaker 4: year then played for and then got picked up professionally
Speaker 4: and then played for our national team in Brazil, so
Speaker 4: it was a full circle. And then we and he
Speaker 4: was our first signing for a team in Lancaster, so.
Speaker 5: Bringing him home, yeah, very cool. Full circle.
Speaker 4: And then now he's an assistant coach for an academy team,
Speaker 4: is our U nineteen team, and is mentoring our players.
Speaker 4: So for him, it's it was a surreal moment. He
Speaker 4: would text us and saying that, you know, we had.
Speaker 5: His jersey reveal here.
Speaker 4: You know it was it was a surreal moment, an
Speaker 4: emotional moment for him to come back home and represent
Speaker 4: his team, you know. So but then from there, you know,
Speaker 4: we have to put a team that's you know, we
Speaker 4: want to be successful year one, right and with all
Speaker 4: the building, with all the locker.
Speaker 5: Room, with travel, with.
Speaker 4: Food, with hotels, all that stuff, we also want to compete,
Speaker 4: so we have to expand and and bring in and
Speaker 4: put Lancaster on the map.
Speaker 1: I think you're going to be very successful. I think
Speaker 1: this was a great call.
Speaker 3: To really do.
Speaker 2: I have a quick just procedural question about how do
Speaker 2: you transfer a baseball stadium where the JetHawks used to play.
Speaker 2: They still call it the hangar. How do you how
Speaker 2: do you change that into a soccer pitch?
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's fantastic. The City of Lancaster really stepped up
Speaker 7: on that. If you think of the home plate as
Speaker 7: sort of a right angle, the home plate becomes the
Speaker 7: corner flag. And then we added a grandstand in what
Speaker 7: would have been right center field, and then another grand
Speaker 7: stand in what would have been left field, and so
Speaker 7: we've created a perfectly square, a proper football ground. It's
Speaker 7: interesting because the second deck of suits is actually still
Speaker 7: behind home plate, so it's behind the corner.
Speaker 5: But also that.
Speaker 7: Has the best views in the house, so it's really beautiful.
Speaker 7: It's a it's a it's a proper football ground and
Speaker 7: we're just so lucky to have it. Very cool.
Speaker 2: If you're interested in more, not just the schedule, but
Speaker 2: tickets and all of that sort of stuff, the stadium
Speaker 2: of all the swag for all to FC, you can

Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 1: After skipping third grade, it was all downhill from there.
Speaker 3: Downhill, downhill.
Speaker 2: There was also a funny story before we get to
Speaker 2: our escapees in New Orleans?
Speaker 3: Did you hear the story of it?
Speaker 1: Feel like? I feel like the Pope a little bit?
Speaker 3: Do I look like the Pope a little bit?
Speaker 1: This is probably sacrilegious.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 1: I'll stop with the sign of the cross.
Speaker 2: Some of our finest and bravest members of the Armed
Speaker 2: Forces opened fire on a Florida beach last week. Did
Speaker 2: anybody hear the story? A group of at least eighteen
Speaker 2: Army Rangers opened fire on a crowded Florida beach and
Speaker 2: sent everybody running for the exits. If there was such
Speaker 2: a thing this group the Army Rangers were supposed to
Speaker 2: be part of a show in the Billy bowlegs Pirate Festival.
Speaker 2: That sounds like fun in Fort Walton Beach and it's
Speaker 2: just a goofy thing.
Speaker 3: It's an opportunity for the Army to go out there.
Speaker 2: And shoot blanks basically, and they take part in the
Speaker 2: show of the Billy bowlegs Pirate Festival by capturing Billy Bowlegs. Okay,
Speaker 2: so after the show, they're cruising around in their little
Speaker 2: boats and for some reason kept shooting their blanks but
Speaker 2: aiming their weapons at least in the general direction of
Speaker 2: the people who were sitting on the beach watching this
Speaker 2: pirate festival. But the City of Fort Walton Beach says
Speaker 2: the Army shouldn't have done that.
Speaker 3: They said that they were.
Speaker 2: Outside of the Billy the Billy Crab no Billy bull
Speaker 2: legs Pirate Festival, and that what happened at Crab Island
Speaker 2: was not part of the festival whatever.
Speaker 1: But pirate a pirate festival. Whatever happens, you're gonna get shot, yeah,
Speaker 1: or shot at.
Speaker 2: My grandma got shot at one of those old West Dixie,
Speaker 2: Old West stunt shows.
Speaker 1: Yes she did.
Speaker 3: She was shot in the arm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and she lived with that shrapnel.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: He still had it in her No, still has the
Speaker 1: shrapnel in his foot that he shot himself with.
Speaker 3: He shot himself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's his birthday today, ninety six years old.
Speaker 3: He's still around.
Speaker 1: He shot himself in the foot. Yes, you'd hear about it.
Speaker 3: If he died. I assume so, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: He shot himself in the foot when he was five,
Speaker 1: and then just left the fragments in there.
Speaker 3: He didn't tell anybody that he shot himself.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 1: An adult, I don't think so. Nobody cared back then.
Speaker 1: It was like you were a kid playing with the gun.
Speaker 1: You shot yourself in the foot.
Speaker 3: It was like a.
Speaker 1: Tuesday, you know. Yeah, it was the twenties.
Speaker 2: So ten inmates escaped from that prison in New Orleans,
Speaker 2: the Orleans Parish Prison. And if you remember the story,
Speaker 2: they know that a maintenance guy shut off the water
Speaker 2: to a toilet in one of the cells. They were
Speaker 2: able to move that toilet, break through the wall, cut.
Speaker 3: Through the rebar, and skeet on out of there, ten
Speaker 3: of them.
Speaker 1: My favorite was that they tagged the exit with too easy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they spelled it wrong. Yeah, I don't care.
Speaker 1: It's still funny like that somebody would spell that wrong
Speaker 1: and still be smart enough to escape. There's a problem
Speaker 1: with your security at your prison. So I love it though,
Speaker 1: because it's got shades of our of our love escape
Speaker 1: love prison.
Speaker 3: Escape, our love, prison escape.
Speaker 1: Not Shoshank Redemption, which was also a story of love
Speaker 1: in prison and prison. No, the female or they female
Speaker 1: prison guards.
Speaker 2: Oh and they had the same last name, wasn't it
Speaker 2: They had the same last name.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she made off with him and.
Speaker 1: Then but yeah, the headline was like five of them captured,
Speaker 1: five of five of the ten captured or whatever. And
Speaker 1: the reason that they haven't captured him is because of
Speaker 1: course there's women were willing to take in an inmate.
Speaker 1: You know what, Well, yeah, that's what's happening. People. These
Speaker 1: inmates are going to random homes. They're knocking on doors
Speaker 1: and they're like, I'm an escaped inmate, and you know,
Speaker 1: the women are like, come on inside.
Speaker 2: I did say three. You said five of them have
Speaker 2: been captured. One of them was captured at grandma's house.
Speaker 2: Does that count as as a woman who's willing to
Speaker 2: take in the Yeah, all right.
Speaker 3: They did also arrest a fourth.
Speaker 2: Woman for allegedly helping the inmates a thirty year old
Speaker 2: was arrested yesterday. She helped two of the ten inmates
Speaker 2: get out.
Speaker 1: Also, was she his grandma or grandma very different? Grandma's
Speaker 1: need love to.
Speaker 2: They also arrested a thirty two year old, Courtney Harris
Speaker 2: on Wednesday, and they haven't said exactly how they were
Speaker 2: able to help, but at least one of them was
Speaker 2: given these guys rides to wherever they want. Giving them
Speaker 2: rides to grandma's house basically is the way it works.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not football season. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: downtime and inmate shows up. I mean, that's that's It
Speaker 1: makes for a good.
Speaker 3: Story, Right, inmate shows up to your house? What are
Speaker 3: you gonna do? It depends on he's wearing the orange suit.
Speaker 2: County La County property jail. Oh does he have manners?
Speaker 2: Does he look like John say?
