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. So I'm in the kitchen this
Speaker 1: morning and my husband walks in and he goes.
Speaker 2: Your face looks like it hurts, and I was like,
Speaker 2: that's a nice thing to say in the morning. It's
Speaker 2: a little rough. Wow, your face is what's wrong with
Speaker 2: your face? And I'm like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Something I was allergic to in Cleveland. I don't know
Speaker 1: what it was, but I started just crying this. I
Speaker 1: won't stop crying since yesterday morning. Anyways.
Speaker 2: My eyes are all puffy, my face is puffy.
Speaker 1: And then he's like, oh, do you hear about the
Speaker 1: San Diego Zoo and what they're doing. And they're live
Speaker 1: streaming baby animals tomorrow because there was a study from
Speaker 1: leads that said reduces stress by fifty percent looking at
Speaker 1: pictures and videos of baby animals.
Speaker 2: So they'll be live streaming it all day long.
Speaker 1: And I go, God, that's so funny, because yesterday at
Speaker 1: the backdrop at the hotel where the officers and the
Speaker 1: dog police dogs check your bags before you go to
Speaker 1: the stadium, I said I was playing with this dog
Speaker 1: for like five ten minutes. This dog was so cool
Speaker 1: Bentley's this dog's name was beautiful. Dog didn't look like
Speaker 1: a police dog at all, and it made me just
Speaker 1: started the day off so well, blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: And then I'm like, oh, it was because that dog
Speaker 1: was like licking my face and I was like on
Speaker 1: top of me for ten minutes.
Speaker 2: And it was great and it was wonderful. But that's
Speaker 2: why my face.
Speaker 1: Is the size of your forehead. I'm sorry that was
Speaker 1: an unnecessary shot.
Speaker 2: It's all right. Sometimes when you're not feeling well, people
Speaker 2: lash out. It doesn't hurt.
Speaker 3: I'm wearing a hat today hide the forehead so you
Speaker 3: don't have to.
Speaker 2: Your forehead doesn't bother me anyway.
Speaker 1: So I took an allergy pill, so hopefully I'll stop
Speaker 1: crying at.
Speaker 2: Some point today.
Speaker 4: I had a great, great weekend.
Speaker 3: We're rehearsing for the show Friday's opening night, and so
Speaker 3: we had long days over the weekend. And I remember Saturday,
Speaker 3: I get up, I'm hanging out with my dog. I'm
Speaker 3: not allergic to them, and eat breakfast and just like
Speaker 3: read through some stuff and I watch a stupid YouTube
Speaker 3: video on would work like nothing associated with anything that
Speaker 3: has to do with campaign or elections or polls or anything.
Speaker 3: It was such a great morning and I'm thinking, well,
Speaker 3: I have long day rehearsals and a lot of tech
Speaker 3: stuff we got to do, and I don't have to
Speaker 3: talk to anybody about anything that has anything to do
Speaker 3: with politics. And I'm not in that room for five
Speaker 3: minutes and somebody walks up to me like, Hey, I
Speaker 3: didn't get a chance to listen to your show this week.
Speaker 3: Did you guys talk about that?
Speaker 1: And I went, that's funny you say that, because yesterday
Speaker 1: DJ Daniel Jeremiah, who's our analyst for the CHARTERERSS Radio broadcast, said,
Speaker 1: right off the gate, right out of the gate, I'm
Speaker 1: so looking forward to this afternoon watching football and not
Speaker 1: having to think or be bombarded with any sort of
Speaker 1: election stuff.
Speaker 2: That is an important thing to remember that on.
Speaker 3: I know not everybody watches football, and I mean the
Speaker 3: sports is not an escape for a lot of people
Speaker 3: like it is for us. But there's things to do
Speaker 3: that are not politics, and there are things that you
Speaker 3: can busy yourself for the next several days because this
Speaker 3: is not a one day thing. I mean, tomorrow is
Speaker 3: going to be important, but it is not going to
Speaker 3: be over tomorrow night. I mean, the chances of that
Speaker 3: are very, very slim. So find the thing.
Speaker 2: Maybe you learn to paint, maybe maybe listen.
Speaker 1: I never learned to paint, but my painting is atrocious,
Speaker 1: but I find it very therapeutic.
Speaker 3: Well, I feel like there's a lot of people who
Speaker 3: are going to need some therapeutic things.
Speaker 1: And if I walk around the neighborhood, look at the flowers,
Speaker 1: look at the floora and the fauna.
Speaker 3: Your point about baby animals being the thing, like there's
Speaker 3: something out there. I would love to hear what it
Speaker 3: is that people look for, you said baby animals. One
Speaker 3: of my wife's favorite themes when it comes to short
Speaker 3: videos that you can find on YouTube or Twitter or
Speaker 3: something like that, is babies wearing glasses. And a lot
Speaker 3: of times, you know, babies get glasses for the very
Speaker 3: first time and they fight it and they don't like
Speaker 3: it it's on their head, and then they go whoa
Speaker 3: and they could see their mom's face for the first
Speaker 3: time or something like that. What is it that makes
Speaker 3: you that happy? Like, do you need something that you
Speaker 3: can do just a quick shot of dopamine or whatever
Speaker 3: to put all this stuff out of your mind.
Speaker 1: One of my friends from high school, she had those
Speaker 1: like coke bottle lens, that's massive glasses with a huge lens,
Speaker 1: and she says she remembers the first time she put
Speaker 1: them on, you know, three four years old or something,
Speaker 1: and she said, what is this? She picked up something
Speaker 1: off the street. She said, what is this? And her
Speaker 1: mom said, that's a leaf. Jessica, she didn't know what
Speaker 1: a leaf was.
Speaker 4: What a moron?
Speaker 2: She couldn't see? Oh, oh, be cause she couldn't see see.
Speaker 1: That's one of the that's one of the things about
Speaker 1: blind people or near blind people.
Speaker 2: You think they're dumb. It's not that they're dumb, they
Speaker 2: just can't see. I think they're done. Well, that was
Speaker 2: your reaction.
Speaker 4: So we're all a little touchy.
Speaker 2: It's not about the blind.
Speaker 3: Okay, But to dip our toe into this thing that
Speaker 3: is going on, we can't ignore it. There are obviously
Speaker 3: a bunch of campaign events going on today, which is
Speaker 3: going to be the last day. So former President Trump
Speaker 3: is going to be in North Carolina and he's speaking
Speaker 3: right now in Raleigh, North Carolina. He's got a couple
Speaker 3: of stops in Pennsylvania. He will close the night out
Speaker 3: in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Vice President Harris is in Pennsylvania
Speaker 3: all day. She has five events in different parts of
Speaker 3: Pennsylvania today.
Speaker 4: Describe.
Speaker 3: I mean that should exemplify or illustrate how important Pennsylvania
Speaker 3: and its nineteen electoral votes will be.
Speaker 4: For tomorrow.
Speaker 3: She's got events planned with Oprah and Lady Gaga and
Speaker 3: Katie Perry along those lines. The security fencing has already
Speaker 3: been put up around the White House, around the Capitol Building,
Speaker 3: around the Naval Observatory, which is the official residence for
Speaker 3: the Vice president. Authorities have said they have no credible threats.
Speaker 3: They don't know of anything that's being said or talked
Speaker 3: about that they believe would be credible, and the Washington
Speaker 3: DC Metro Police chief said at a news conference there
Speaker 3: is no need for any alarm. Is in the meantime,
Speaker 3: go look at a cat playing the piano.
Speaker 2: Is this whole.
Speaker 1: Media firestorm about it being a mess following the election day?
Speaker 2: Is that all media driven?
Speaker 1: What are the chances that we have the election and
Speaker 1: Trump wins and all of the Democrats just go all right, Well,
Speaker 1: I'm just not going to pay attention. I'm just going
Speaker 1: to go live my life and fight for what I
Speaker 1: can fight for, and I'm just gonna pretend this never happened.
Speaker 3: That is one of the things that we I mean,
Speaker 3: like you and I I think we have to be
Speaker 3: careful about it is because we have to constantly remember
Speaker 3: where we are and what we're doing. That the algorithms,
Speaker 3: whether it's Twitter and social media whatever, there is a
Speaker 3: not a desire. There is an emphasis on the more
Speaker 3: exciting things.
Speaker 2: Uh huh.
Speaker 3: And the exciting thing is people lose their minds and
Speaker 3: they take to the streets and they get mad and
Speaker 3: they are upset and they burn the buildings down.
Speaker 4: And the more likely is just what you said.
Speaker 1: Right, fine, And that's the thing we've talked about at
Speaker 1: numerous times. The loudest people in the room get all
Speaker 1: the attention, and they shouldn't. You know, the guys that
Speaker 1: are going to take to the streets armed because they're
Speaker 1: pissed Trump lost few and far between. The people who
Speaker 1: are going to have mental health crises and have to go,
Speaker 1: you know, bunker down with a baby animal, probably few
Speaker 1: and far between.
Speaker 2: But they're the ones that are getting all the coverage.
Speaker 3: How do you make sure that you don't get caught
Speaker 3: up in all of this and lose your mind over
Speaker 3: these next save seventy two hours, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 4: Happy Monday.
Speaker 2: All I need to do is listen to your show.
Speaker 4: I'm good.
Speaker 5: That's all I need.
Speaker 4: Gary and Shannon. Keep doing what you're doing.
Speaker 6: That's all I need.
Speaker 4: Dopamine is flowing.
Speaker 2: Good, The dopamine is flowing the show.
Speaker 1: I would like to give a shout out to our
Speaker 1: friend Crystal Gas family member who was at the.
Speaker 2: Game in Cleveland.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she said, I love you and Gary.
Speaker 7: That's right, Hi, Gary and Shannon, It's Michelle in Chicago.
Speaker 7: One of the things that gives me pleasure is seeing
Speaker 7: Mary Poppins, the dog from Deadpool and Wolverine. So yesterday
Speaker 7: I screenshotted the picture of Mary Poppins with the goggles on,
Speaker 7: running through the fire and going to Deadpool, and now
Speaker 7: I get to look at that picture all day and
Speaker 7: tomorrow and it makes me happy.
Speaker 4: Well, everybody's got something.
Speaker 2: Let's see what this mail is again. This is a
Speaker 2: handwrite letter she gave me her.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it's a sheet because a penmanship is beautiful
Speaker 1: and I can tell.
Speaker 2: Him in trouble. What do you think I'm in trouble over?
Speaker 2: Do you think it's Jesus related?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 4: No, I would have Well, I mean it may be
Speaker 4: based in that.
Speaker 1: But dear Shannon, your show is the best I listen
Speaker 1: every day. You're such a great lover of animals. So
Speaker 1: this is a short story my daughter wrote which I
Speaker 1: thought you may enjoy. She's a big fan of yours. Also,
Speaker 1: we met you at the Magic Castle a few years back.
Speaker 4: Well that was a while ago.
Speaker 2: I hope you have a great weekend, Liz.
Speaker 4: This's a story about the Rainbow Bridge.
Speaker 1: I'm going to read the story. It's called Mama Birdie,
Speaker 1: a true story. It's a bird story. It was printed
Speaker 1: in Newport Beach, living in fact. But I'm going to
Speaker 1: whittle it down a little while, okay, because that'll take
Speaker 1: about Yeah, I'll do a little editing, all right, but
Speaker 1: don't worry. We'll give you the good bird story coming
Speaker 1: out Saturday night.
Speaker 3: We all started getting messages. Well I shouldn't say we all.
Speaker 3: I assume people get news alerts. I don't know why
Speaker 3: this became a news alert, but Vice President Harris diverted
Speaker 3: her campaign plane back to New York, so she could
Speaker 3: show up on Saturday Night Live during their cold open,
Speaker 3: in which Maya Rudolph as Kamala Harris says she wishes
Speaker 3: she could talk to somebody in her position. You know,
Speaker 3: a black South Asian woman running for president, preferably from
Speaker 3: the Bay Area. She looks into a mirror and their
Speaker 3: fake mirror, and there is Kamala.
Speaker 6: Henry.
Speaker 8: I'm just here to remind you you got this because
Speaker 8: you can do something your opponent cannot do.
Speaker 4: You can open doors.
Speaker 1: A shot at Trump because he couldn't open the garbage.
Speaker 8: I don't really laugh like that, do I not? Kamala
Speaker 8: take my Pamela. The American people want to stop the chaos.
Speaker 5: And end the dramaa.
Speaker 4: With a cool new step.
Speaker 8: Mamala tep back in our Pajamala's and watch a rum
Speaker 8: Kamala like legally Blondola and start decorating for Christmas. Follow Lalala,
Speaker 8: because what do we always say, keep Kamala and carry
Speaker 8: on Ala.
Speaker 2: I mean, we knew where they were going.
Speaker 3: We knew Saturday Night Live they have a particular bent
Speaker 3: and that's not on It's not it's not lost on anybody.
Speaker 3: They did a skit a little bit later called what's
Speaker 3: my name? Oh, this was excellent with John mulvaney. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and he uh, Mullaney. Why do I keep doing this because.
Speaker 4: Mick Mulvaney used to work in the White House, I know,
Speaker 4: but I do it.
Speaker 2: Every time I'm old.
Speaker 3: But that was about It was making fun of people
Speaker 3: who are claimed to have such great political knowledge.
Speaker 2: Well it's not that.
Speaker 1: It's more I think about people who claim that the
Speaker 1: politics of today means so much in their lives.
Speaker 2: It's so important to them.
Speaker 1: And it's this game show, and it's this guy, John,
Speaker 1: the John whose last name I will not attempt anymore Mulaney.
Speaker 1: He is this contestant who claims that the twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: presidential election was the most important election of our time.
Speaker 1: It was huge, it meant so much to his life.
Speaker 1: And so they say, all right, then who's this guy?
Speaker 1: And they bring in white guy, white guy, average white guy.
Speaker 2: Who is this guy? And John Mulaney's like, I don't know.
Speaker 3: So then white guy goes, hey, you voted for me
Speaker 3: to be a heartbeat away from the Oval office and you.
Speaker 4: Can't even remember my name, Tim Caine. It was well done.
Speaker 1: And then they said something to the effect of say
Speaker 1: her name and that Twitter hashtag phenomenon from years ago.
Speaker 2: And they said, say one name.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he said remember the Oh no, it was
Speaker 3: Black Lives Matter, and.
Speaker 2: Remember thennor Taylor, right, And.
Speaker 4: Then he posted twelve names.
Speaker 3: They put his tweet up there but blacked them all
Speaker 3: out or censored them all so you couldn't read them.
Speaker 3: And he said the game show host challenged him, okay,
Speaker 3: name one right, And that was trying to just drive.
Speaker 1: Home the point that you're not as obsessed with this
Speaker 1: as you may.
Speaker 2: Think you are.
Speaker 3: Now NBC did get in a bit of trouble. One
Speaker 3: of the commissioners on the FCC suggested that Saturday Night
Speaker 3: Live NBC specifically had violated its equal time law by
Speaker 3: not offering Donald Trump the same amount of time yesterday.
Speaker 3: What they did was during a NASCAR race, the president
Speaker 3: former president appeared in an unusual ad. He spoke directly
Speaker 3: to the camera. It almost sounded like it was kind
Speaker 3: of off the cuff.
Speaker 1: So Trump goes on NASCAR and Sunday Night Football, which
Speaker 1: is his audience. Kamala goes on SNL, which is her audience.
Speaker 1: I don't think any minds where choughing happened.
Speaker 3: Yeahah, at the end of it, nothing happened to go
Speaker 3: because we've been burned before. There's a couple of pole
Speaker 3: polars pole polars who say this is unusual. Not only
Speaker 3: is it unusual that these poles are so close, it
Speaker 3: probably means they're completely wrong.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Quincy Jones has his fingerprints on everything. You'd be
Speaker 1: hard pressed to find that you don't have, well, they
Speaker 1: used to be records, but you don't have something on
Speaker 1: your playlists or what have you that doesn't have his
Speaker 1: name attached to it.
Speaker 2: I mean all of not all of, but three.
Speaker 1: I think three of Michael Michael Jackson's albums were produced
Speaker 1: by Quincy Jones.
Speaker 2: There's My Party, produced by Clancy.
Speaker 3: The New York Times writer put together a list of
Speaker 3: what he said were the quintessential I think it's fourteen
Speaker 3: tracks of Quincy Jones, And as I was going through
Speaker 3: and listening to them today, there were some of them
Speaker 3: on there that I never ever, ever would have thought
Speaker 3: were Quincy Jones. But it's just proof that he had
Speaker 3: his hand in everything.
Speaker 1: It's like Phil Spector, but a good guy is that.
Speaker 1: Quincy Jones also did a number of shows. I mean
Speaker 1: he produced Fresh Prince of bel Aire, he produced, He
Speaker 1: did the songs for Sanford and Sons, and I mean he.
Speaker 2: Just he is everywhere in Cold Blood.
Speaker 1: I believe he got Best Original Score the Academy Award
Speaker 1: for that one, the Original in nineteen sixty seven.
Speaker 3: Tomorrow's election day. Obviously, we'll talk more about campaign stuff
Speaker 3: throughout the day.
Speaker 4: If man, if you want to just.
Speaker 3: Gouge your eyeballs out, start by watching c SPAN, because
Speaker 3: they're showing every event today. They went from they went
Speaker 3: from former President Trump's event to an event in Lacrosse,
Speaker 3: Wisconsin with with Tim Wall's wife Gwen. So we were
Speaker 3: asking ways that you get the dopamine flowing to kind
Speaker 3: of distract yourself from the bad stuff.
Speaker 5: Good morning, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 2: Gary a high forehead.
Speaker 5: Is this big sign of intelligence?
Speaker 2: Yes, so there you go.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 5: And Shannon, I'm sorry about your allergies.
Speaker 2: I hope you're feeling better.
Speaker 5: And what makes me feel better Sometimes at night, after
Speaker 5: all the TV and all the books that's on the
Speaker 5: TV is turned off, I will watch YouTube videos of
Speaker 5: the songs and bands that I used to love in
Speaker 5: the sixties.
Speaker 2: Oh that's cool.
Speaker 3: I didn't see her swearing. I didn't see that coming either.
Speaker 3: I've been glad. I checked that one morning.
Speaker 6: The thing on Instagram that always calls me, there's a
Speaker 6: guy that makes little people out of acorns and pieces
Speaker 6: of the forest that he finds little twigs and then
Speaker 6: he places them back in the forest so they look
Speaker 6: like they're a little city. Or he makes a little
Speaker 6: bird Peter.
Speaker 1: I will do, I will, I will go look at
Speaker 1: that immediately.
Speaker 2: That sounds incredible. Was that your mom?
Speaker 1: This story that Liz sent us that her daughter Amy
Speaker 1: wrote about the birds is really lovely.
Speaker 4: Oh you do that?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: A week ago, I was out trimming my flowers, pulling weeds,
Speaker 1: when all of a sudden, this little sparrow started buzzing
Speaker 1: around me. She was squawking and squeaking, flying in front
Speaker 1: of me. I kept up to my gardening and I'm
Speaker 1: paraphrasing some of this. Why was this little bird sweeping
Speaker 1: swooping all around me? She's trying to tell me something.
Speaker 1: But just as I was pulling back some mint to cut,
Speaker 1: I saw it. It was nestled in the corner of
Speaker 1: my herb planter, a little nest with four blue, perfect eggs.
Speaker 1: And I told the little bird, oh, I see what
Speaker 1: you're telling me now she was a mama Birdie. She
Speaker 1: was protecting her beautiful, precious little nest.
Speaker 2: She says. I understand that because I'm a mama too.
Speaker 1: I apologized to the little bird because I knew what
Speaker 1: it was like to protect your babies at all costs.
Speaker 1: I went to bed thinking of Mama Birdie and how
Speaker 1: well she was guarding her nest and her great skill
Speaker 1: at communicating. The Next morning, I went to check on
Speaker 1: Mama Birdie.
Speaker 2: First thing.
Speaker 1: Three little babies had hatched, barely the size of a fingernail,
Speaker 1: the little bodies barely formed, and beaks moving occasionally. One
Speaker 1: egg was still sitting there without even a crack. I
Speaker 1: called my own mom to ask what she thought. Maybe
Speaker 1: it was a dud. But that night I came home
Speaker 1: and checked on the little nest and the fourth egg
Speaker 1: had hatched, now four little babies. I was filled with delight.
Speaker 1: Mama Birdie close by, perched on a bogan via branch.
Speaker 1: She once again told me stay away from my babies.
Speaker 1: I called my mom again. She told me to put
Speaker 1: out some bird seeds and water for Mama Birdie, and
Speaker 1: I did that.
Speaker 2: Next morning, I had woken up.
Speaker 1: To a whole mess of bird seeds splattered across the table.
Speaker 1: Mama Birdie had an overnight feast. All that week, she
Speaker 1: filled the bowls with water and food, checked on the baby,
Speaker 1: checked on everybody. One week and one day later, I
Speaker 1: was out watering the plants, Mama Birdie swoops around me
Speaker 1: again to tell me something. I just kept going Her
Speaker 1: babies were doing fine. I knew not to bother them,
Speaker 1: and she just kept trying to talk to me. I
Speaker 1: couldn't understand. I went to bed after spending the evening
Speaker 1: with my own kiddos, having dinner and talking. We all
Speaker 1: knew about Mama Birdie by now, I called her my bird.
Speaker 1: What was she trying to tell me last night? Well,
Speaker 1: the next morning she got up and realized they were
Speaker 1: all gone. Mama Bertie had raised her babies. They had fled,
Speaker 1: and she was trying to say thank you, Mama Bertie
Speaker 1: for seeing a fellow mama in the bird and for
Speaker 1: taking care.
Speaker 2: Why are you looking at me like that, this is beautiful.
Speaker 3: You're literally saying that the bird became an empty nester. Well, no,
Speaker 3: Mama Birdie left with the babies.
Speaker 4: Are you sure? Yeah? You think I thought Mama bird
Speaker 4: went to Kane coon or.
Speaker 1: Something, and then she ends with this amy, speaking of
Speaker 1: last times. You never know when it will be the
Speaker 1: last time, last time for a hug, last time for
Speaker 1: a word, the last party, the last time to say goodbye,
Speaker 1: the last time to be amazed by a mama birdie,
Speaker 1: her babies and her beautiful little nest.
Speaker 2: So enjoy every minute that sweet.
Speaker 3: I have to drink water to stop from crying. Hey,
Speaker 3: I thought it was lovely. See you're drinking too to
Speaker 3: stop from crying. Is that what it is?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 2: Or I just ate my weight in salami.
Speaker 3: We football wise Buccaneers at Kansas City Chiefs tonight from
Speaker 3: Monday night football Chargers won in Cleveland twenty seven to ten.
Speaker 3: The Rams beat the Seahawks in overtime last night up
Speaker 3: in Seattle twenty six to twenty. New Orleans Saints have
Speaker 3: fired their coach, fired Dennis Allen as their coach, and
Speaker 3: they lost to the Panthers, right, and then the Raiders
Speaker 3: fired everybody.
Speaker 2: They lost to the Bangle.
Speaker 1: He got blown out by the Bengals.
Speaker 2: It's just embarrassing.
Speaker 1: But did you see that freaking hurdle play squon.
Speaker 4: The reverse hurdle?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: How do you how do you even do, like, what
Speaker 3: is it button combination on your controller to make that
Speaker 3: happen in a video game because it doesn't happen in
Speaker 3: real life.
Speaker 1: Doesn't happen in video games either. I mean, it was incredible.
Speaker 4: That was pretty crazy.
Speaker 2: You haven't seen it. It's worth a google.
Speaker 3: We were talking to people about what it is that
Speaker 3: you want to do to remain happy despite what's going
Speaker 3: on with the election and all that's right.
Speaker 9: Hey, Gary and Shannon, this is probably going to come
Speaker 9: at the more spiritual side, but during election season and
Speaker 9: just when it's chaos and people are crazy, praying and
Speaker 9: knowing that God is bigger than all of it gives
Speaker 9: me a lot of hope and that's where my hope
Speaker 9: is rooted. Also, having a list of things to be
Speaker 9: thankful for Gratitude fights anxiety.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's a good one. Yeah, Happy Monday.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 2: That was very helpful.
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean that's the way you should start every day, right,
Speaker 1: going through your head.
Speaker 6: Hey, Gary and Shannon. What makes me laugh like belly laugh,
Speaker 6: rolling on the floor laugh.
Speaker 5: Is the video of the.
Speaker 1: Mom in the bathroom and the little girl comes in
Speaker 1: and the mom wipes chocolate on the girl's arm, but
Speaker 1: the little girl thinks.
Speaker 2: It's poop and she starts gagging. That is the funniest
Speaker 2: video ever made.
Speaker 1: Love you guys, I don't know that one, but I
Speaker 1: went down the whole of the man who makes the
Speaker 1: little people out of acorns. You mean be corns, b
Speaker 1: corns to keep baby birds happy, give them tips on
Speaker 1: how to fly.
Speaker 4: That's a good distraction.
Speaker 1: That was really good and I will find it and
Speaker 1: I will tweet it.
Speaker 4: There is a new.
Speaker 3: Tropical storm expected to form today in the Caribbean. It's
Speaker 3: going to bring heavy rain to Jamaica and the Cayman
Speaker 3: Islands before it strengthens to a hurricane and probably hits
Speaker 3: Cuba like they haven't had a rough summer.
Speaker 4: Storm would be named Raphael later in the week.
Speaker 3: It's also expected to bring some heavy rainfall to Florida
Speaker 3: and portions of the southeast, but may not maintain its
Speaker 3: hurricane strength once it makes it to mainland United States.
Speaker 3: There are several tornado sirens that have gone off once
Speaker 3: again today in Oklahoma City. Residents still surrounded by the
Speaker 3: destruction and debris caused by this weekend severe storms through
Speaker 3: that area. No confirmed tornadoes or reports of damage from
Speaker 3: this morning's storms, but we did see some yesterday. There
Speaker 3: were potentially a threat level of three out of five
Speaker 3: or strong tornadoes today. Several schools canceled classes and school
Speaker 3: related activities because of.
Speaker 4: The severe weather. So they're keeping an eye on that
Speaker 4: down in Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: So we often see here when dignitaries travel to a
Speaker 1: place that has been wildly affected by a natural disaster
Speaker 1: to give remarks, kiss babies, do all of that.
Speaker 2: Well.
