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: And CAA says.
Speaker 1: Former Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh had impermissible contact with recruits
Speaker 1: and players while access was restricted during the COVID handed
Speaker 1: him a four year show cause order if he wants
Speaker 1: to return to college coaching.
Speaker 2: This just not in.
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh is the coach of your Los Angeles Chargers.
Speaker 1: So this is all kind of cute, and I'll bless
Speaker 1: your heart and c doublea bless your heart. I heard
Speaker 1: this line yesterday that the culture under Jim Harbaugh is
Speaker 1: walk right up to the line and then cross it,
Speaker 1: and I thought, Yes, that's.
Speaker 2: The coach you want. Yes, I mean not if you
Speaker 2: are left at Michigan without him, but that is the
Speaker 2: coach you currently want on the team. Yes, we had
Speaker 2: that earthquake, of course, from gosh was it tuesday? Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was Tuesday night, that five point two earthquake over
Speaker 2: in Kerrent County, just the other side of the grape Vine.
Speaker 2: Last night. There was an after shock of a four
Speaker 2: point four there. It's a little confusing because I saw
Speaker 2: doctor Lucy Jones suggest that this is near a fault
Speaker 2: that had a relatively large earthquake back in the fifties.
Speaker 2: But it's not on that fault, and there are there
Speaker 2: have been dozens of earthquakes after shocks that have been
Speaker 2: say two and a half and above, in that same area.
Speaker 2: There's nothing there. I mean, I know that the surface
Speaker 2: of the earth doesn't pretend what does underneath it, but
Speaker 2: there's nothing out there.
Speaker 1: The clerk kent of the Olympics, Stephen Netterosik, was drug
Speaker 1: tested after his pommel horse routine. I bet who watched
Speaker 1: that routine and thought that's a body on drugs.
Speaker 2: I think they do it randomly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it must be because they do. That is
Speaker 1: a very slight human.
Speaker 2: Locally, a nine billion dollars school construction bond is headed
Speaker 2: to voters' ballots in November. The LA Unified School District
Speaker 2: Board of Education approved it in a special meeting yesterday.
Speaker 2: This bond, with fund facilities, repairs and upgrades to hundreds
Speaker 2: of schools, estimated to raise annual property tax rates by
Speaker 2: twenty five cents for every one hundred dollars of a
Speaker 2: home's assessed value. The quick math if you have a
Speaker 2: home worth about a million bucks, that'd be an additional
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty bucks of property tax every year.
Speaker 2: A bond needs fifty five percent approval by voters to pass.
Speaker 2: Do you want to hear my nice story before we
Speaker 2: get to fire?
Speaker 3: Sure?
Speaker 2: Do I do any nice music for it? Sure? Okay?
Speaker 1: A Florida sheriff's deputy ran through the woods, ripped off
Speaker 1: his bulletproof vest, and waded into a pond when he
Speaker 1: heard the cries of a missing five year old autistic boy,
Speaker 1: Damn wes bro is his name.
Speaker 2: He scooped up the boy.
Speaker 1: The boy wrapped his arms tightly around the deputy's neck
Speaker 1: as they trudged back to dry land. Happened in Deltona, Florida,
Speaker 1: not Daytona, Deltona, of course. Sheriff's officials say the family
Speaker 1: called nine one one. They noticed the boy was missing,
Speaker 1: and they knew that he's attracted to water, so they
Speaker 1: ran to the pond. That's when the deputy heard the
Speaker 1: boys cries and sprung into action. See, those are the
Speaker 1: stories about police that you don't hear all the time.
Speaker 2: And that's just a Tuesday. There's there's probably a conservative
Speaker 2: estimate hundreds of those every.
Speaker 1: Day, hundreds of them everywhere, but you never hear it.
Speaker 2: A selfless act by someone who without even thinking about
Speaker 2: the consequences to themselves. Right, the brain eating ameba in
Speaker 2: that pond. Yeah, okay, potentially, Yes, that's probably why they
Speaker 2: didn't think about it though. Okay, you can't kept the music.
Speaker 2: Good news is over. You love that booty, Show me
Speaker 2: the booty, Give me the booty.
Speaker 1: I willed the booty.
Speaker 3: Back up the booty. I need the booty.
Speaker 2: Sent to Humido. Yes we are oh god, okay, here
Speaker 2: in my head, it's crazy. The Park Fire, the fourth
Speaker 2: largest fire in California history, is now four hundred and
Speaker 2: twenty six thousand acres plus and still only about thirty
Speaker 2: four percent contained. That containment has not grown at the
Speaker 2: same rate that the fire has grown in the last
Speaker 2: couple of days. I mean, this is an This has
Speaker 2: added thirty or forty thousand acres in just the last
Speaker 2: few days because of the conditions up there. Again, this
Speaker 2: is the fire that started in Chico when some guy,
Speaker 2: Ronnie Stout pushed a burning car down into a gully
Speaker 2: near I think it was Alligator Hole. As you get
Speaker 2: up through Bidwell Park, there. He already had a couple
Speaker 2: of felony convictions for child molestation and robbery with great
Speaker 2: bodily injuries. Now been charged with felonie arson arson with
Speaker 2: ag evading factors.
Speaker 1: You can you can get convicted of molesting children and
Speaker 1: robbery with GBI and just be out free.
Speaker 2: Light other cars, cars on fire. Yes, Yes, what a world?
Speaker 2: What a world. And as we saw in some of
Speaker 2: the areas that where this fire has burned, it basically burned,
Speaker 2: started in Chico, but then burned away from that town
Speaker 2: a city, moved way up into the north and spread
Speaker 2: out east and west from there. It is burning in
Speaker 2: some areas that have not seen fire as long as
Speaker 2: we've been here. And by we I mean white people.
Speaker 2: It's been hundreds of years potentially since some of those
Speaker 2: areas have burned. So just think of the natural fires
Speaker 2: that would have occurred have not been occurring over the
Speaker 2: last hundred plus years.
Speaker 1: In the New York Times, the last bit of the
Speaker 1: article is under the headline is climate change to blame?
Speaker 2: No the child molester? First paragraph.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the fire, like I said, fourth in the state,
Speaker 3: now fourth in the history of the state that we
Speaker 3: know of.
Speaker 2: It could pass the Mendocino Complex fire as the third
Speaker 2: largest that was from just six years ago. The Mendocino
Speaker 2: Complex burned over four hundred and fifty nine thousand acres.
Speaker 2: There were also a handful of fires that started just
Speaker 2: yesterday from lightning strikes, they said, and one of them,
Speaker 2: I don't know if Michael knows this, but it's called
Speaker 2: the Krozier Fire, about seven hundred acres in the Placerville area.
Speaker 2: Several of the tiny little mountain towns up in that
Speaker 2: absolutely gorgeous part of the state have been evacuated. It's
Speaker 2: only seven hundred acres, like I said, as of this morning,
Speaker 2: but at five percent containment. They are concerned that this
Speaker 2: thing is just going to explode, because that is another
Speaker 2: area that has not seen a lot of fire activity recently. Internationally,
Speaker 2: three Balor Swift concerts have been canceled. Cops said they
Speaker 2: foiled an ISIS linked terror plot that was targeting at
Speaker 2: least one of the concerts that she was supposed to
Speaker 2: give in Vienna. The suspected terrorists seventeen and nineteen years old.
Speaker 2: We're planning to target Ernst Hoppel Stadium, where she was
Speaker 2: set to play tonight Tomorrow and Saturday, former President Trump
Speaker 2: posted on truth Social quote, I will be doing a
Speaker 2: general news conference all caps at two pm at mar
Speaker 2: A Lago Palm Beach in case you didn't know where
Speaker 2: mar A Lago was. And then he wrote thank you. Well,
Speaker 2: we're going to have to carry that. Oh yeah, at
Speaker 2: the top of the hour reasonever it starts.
Speaker 1: Michelle Pfeiffer is set to lead a Yellowstone sequel series.
Speaker 2: The show will be called Madison.
Speaker 1: It's described as a study of grief and human connection
Speaker 1: that follows a family from New York City in Central
Speaker 1: Montana's Madison River Valley.
Speaker 2: A study of grief that sounds awful.
Speaker 1: Was like just a bunch of yeah, a bunch of
Speaker 1: people that are just gonna die. What You're from New
Speaker 1: New York City and you're gonna go live off the
Speaker 1: land in Montana.
Speaker 2: You're not gonna know what to do.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna know how to skin that animal, cook
Speaker 1: that meat, like Robert F.
Speaker 2: Kennedy Junior in Central Park. Yeah, but maybe there's rip.
Speaker 2: Maybe Rip goes with her like the brewery Rip watch Yellowstone.
Speaker 2: I know I should do that. I should get too late.
Speaker 2: You know, people get really weird about their shows.
Speaker 1: So like if you missed the boat on a show
Speaker 1: and then like five years down the line, you're.
Speaker 2: Like, maybe I'll check it out. I was really the
Speaker 2: other day, really territorial about it if you're a fan
Speaker 2: of that show. Riverside County's East Vale Little League beat
Speaker 2: Hawaii in that semi final game on Wednesday. They move
Speaker 2: closer towards earning a berth in the Little League World Series,
Speaker 2: but they're gonna have to turn around and beat Hawaii
Speaker 2: again from Central East Maui Little League in Waii Luku.
Speaker 2: Tomorrow afternoon is that game, and you can watch it
Speaker 2: on the ESPNS.
Speaker 1: Well, there is a renaming of a post office in
Speaker 1: Compton and it is going to be named after Marine
Speaker 1: PFC James Anderson Junior. It was his decision in the
Speaker 1: Vietnamese jungle on February twenty eighth, nineteen sixty seven, during
Speaker 1: the Vietnam War. Obviously that leads to him being named
Speaker 1: after this post office he's also named. They also named
Speaker 1: a ship of barracks, a dining hall, a park in
Speaker 1: a street after James Anderson Junior.
Speaker 2: This isn't the first thing to be named after Pfc Anderson.
Speaker 2: He went to Centennial High School. He's been honored with
Speaker 2: the Military Sealift Command shipped in nineteen eighty five, was
Speaker 2: dedicated to him at Barrows Point, Maryland. It was used
Speaker 2: to support a marine brigade in the Indian Ocean until
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine, and Congresswoman Nanette Bragon that she
Speaker 2: remembered thinking, we've got introduced bill to make sure that
Speaker 2: we carry on his legacy because that ship was about
Speaker 2: to be retired.
Speaker 1: Denise Cross is one of Anderson's nieces. She remembers how
Speaker 1: her uncle, before he was deployed to Vietnam, would drive
Speaker 1: her to elementary school on his way to Los Angeles
Speaker 1: Harbor College.
Speaker 2: She says what stood out was his car.
Speaker 1: It was a nineteen sixty five Chevy and paula painted
Speaker 1: Evening Orchard, a rare color available for only one year.
Speaker 2: Is that what is that color? I'm just looking it
Speaker 2: up right now. It's like a deep pinkish purple.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, she says, that's high class right there. She
Speaker 1: says he would let me sit behind the wheel while
Speaker 1: he washed and polished it.
Speaker 2: Back when men took pride in their cars.
Speaker 1: So it was February nineteen sixty six, the Vietnam War
Speaker 1: is underway, and he enlists in the Marine Corps trains
Speaker 1: at Camp Pendleton and was deployed to Vietnam in December
Speaker 1: of that year, sixty six, so.
Speaker 2: He's only nineteen. He's trained as a rifle man. He
Speaker 2: finds himself in the Quang Tree Province and on a
Speaker 2: day in February sixty seven, he and his platoon go
Speaker 2: on a rescue mission to save a recon patrol that
Speaker 2: had been besieged by North Vietnamese forces. And he and
Speaker 2: his comrades in the dense jungle and they come under fire,
Speaker 2: they said. Soon he was on the ground with a
Speaker 2: tightly packed group of Marines.
Speaker 1: The enemy just sixty five feet away. A grenade was
Speaker 1: lobbed at the marines, landed near Anderson's head.
Speaker 2: Without hesitating, he.
Speaker 1: Grabbed it, pulled it close, wrapped his body around it.
Speaker 1: Just before the device detonated. His body absorbed the blast.
Speaker 1: He was immediately killed. He had just turned twenty. Because
Speaker 1: of his actions, no other Marines near him were killed.
Speaker 2: So the Pfc. James Anderson jo Junior Post Office is
Speaker 2: that Willowbrook and Compton Avenue are sorry Compton Boulevard. It's
Speaker 2: been there since nineteen thirty five. They said this played
Speaker 2: a role in directing droves of letters to his family.
Speaker 2: Once the story got out about his heroism, they wanted
Speaker 2: to celebrate him by sending him letters as opposed to
Speaker 2: posting something on Instagram.
Speaker 1: They did, they did not know the address as the
Speaker 1: as the news got out, they eventually sent letters to
Speaker 1: the mother of Medal of Honor recipient and they were
Speaker 1: delivered and they say, yeah, strong possibility those letters went
Speaker 1: through that Compton post office. If he was alive today,
Speaker 1: he would be seventy seven years old.
Speaker 2: You were talking about his One of his nieces, Denise Cross.
Speaker 2: She also related a story yesterday that said, back in
Speaker 2: the sixties, when he's washing that Impala, the beautiful Impaula
Speaker 2: at the evening orchid paint job, ice Kareem truck comes
Speaker 2: by and all the neighborhood kids run up except for one.
Speaker 2: One boy sat on the fence because they didn't have
Speaker 2: any money for a treat. So her uncle, her uncle James,
Speaker 2: calls the boy over and says, get whatever you want,
Speaker 2: it's on me. And he only wanted to pack of
Speaker 2: baseball cards, but Uncle James threw in the ice cream,
Speaker 2: so that he could sit there and eat with the
Speaker 2: others as well.
Speaker 1: Good story, La times I knock you all the time.
Speaker 1: Today you brought me a smile and joy.
Speaker 2: You hold back a little. Yes, World War III still imminent,
Speaker 2: Just to give you an idea. The latest rundown of
Speaker 2: what's going on. The Israeli Defense Forces said that a
Speaker 2: senior Hamas terrorist responsible for attacks in the West Bank
Speaker 2: has been killed. Lebanese reports said that an Israeli UAV
Speaker 2: had struck a target in southern Lebanon, several people wounded.
Speaker 2: Iran's president asked the Supreme Leader I had told Ali
Speaker 2: Kamani to avoid war by attacking Israel, according to a
Speaker 2: report the Saudi Arabian affiliated Iran International, because he wanted
Speaker 2: to keep his presidency intact, and he noted that an
Speaker 2: Israeli attack would severely disrupt that country's infrastructure and even
Speaker 2: potentially lead to an Iranian collapse. Last night, Egypt instructed
Speaker 2: its airlines to avoid airspace over Iran. Of course, all
Speaker 2: of this at National White House, National Security Council spokesman
Speaker 2: John Kirby said, quote, while all this is going on,
Speaker 2: and we seem to be ratcheting closer to war, he said,
Speaker 2: we are as close as we think we have ever
Speaker 2: been to a Israeli Hamas ceasefire and a hostage deal
Speaker 2: between Israel and Wow.
Speaker 1: We will get into the Olympics. Did you see Quincy
Speaker 1: Hall the men's four hundred meter race come from behind.
Speaker 2: It looked like he was so far out of it,
Speaker 2: and I mean the look on his face was I'm
Speaker 2: never going to make it. And that was the look
Speaker 2: of I am going to not only make it, I'm
Speaker 2: going to blow past these other guys. It was just
Speaker 2: an epic come back. Epic.
Speaker 1: Also, breakdancing has started, and I thought we could take
Speaker 1: a video of you break dancing so that people could.
Speaker 2: See that's what you thought. Yeah, oh, that's a great
Speaker 2: thought to have. I think that you could break dance.
Speaker 2: I don't think I got good.
Speaker 3: You never.
Speaker 1: You never got into that as a child, as a youth,
Speaker 1: I did see.
Speaker 2: I knew it. I profiled correctly. And my friend Frankie
Speaker 2: Johnson had a boombox, yes, and three older brothers and
Speaker 2: an actual piece of scrap lonola okay that we would
Speaker 2: lay out in his driveway. See, I knew you had moves.
Speaker 2: Do a little bit for the people, just a little bit.
Speaker 2: I used to be able to spin.
Speaker 1: I bet you could do the thing with the leg.
Speaker 1: It comes out like this and then you know this.
Speaker 2: Thing, you look like you're having an episode. You know
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about, though?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: No, Oh, what's wrong with your spine when you're when
Speaker 2: you're dead like this and you sweep the leg? Oh,
Speaker 2: like I'm doing the pommel horse. Not on the pommel horse. Yeah,
Speaker 2: never was able to do that. Oh. It takes a
Speaker 2: certain amount of coordination that apparently I never had. There
Speaker 2: is an awful story coming out out of Hollywood. Actor
Speaker 2: Gabriel Old's best known for his portrayal of Pat Robertson
Speaker 2: in the Eyes of Tammy Faye. I've never heard of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah you have, because Jessica Chastain played Tammy Faye Baker.
Speaker 2: I know you've heard of it. Did you probably never
Speaker 2: saw it? But what year was this? This was recently,
Speaker 2: I would say within the last five years, five six years.
Speaker 2: I think I hurt myself doing that. I told you, oh, man,
Speaker 2: now you have scoliosis. He was also on shows like
Speaker 2: The Rookie Ncis Los Angeles arrested on sexual assault charges.
Speaker 2: They said that back in twenty twenty three, a forty
Speaker 2: one year old woman reported to police that he had
Speaker 2: raped her at her home in LA Two additional adult
Speaker 2: victims later came forward made similar reports that date back
Speaker 2: several years, describing consensual dating encounters that then descended into
Speaker 2: violent sexual assault. They said that this guy in New
Speaker 2: York native and a Yale graduate, would use his status
Speaker 2: as an Ivy League alumnus, a Yale grad with some
Speaker 2: success in the film industry to meet these women and
Speaker 2: arrange these dates. You'd use dating apps to meet them.
Speaker 2: Each victim reported that he would lure them into a
Speaker 2: false sense of security during those initial encounters and then
Speaker 2: turn violent without seeking consent. They've identified three victims assaulted
Speaker 2: by the actor, two more who reported less violent but
Speaker 2: still sexual conduct due to his travels. They said that
Speaker 2: there may be other victims who have not yet to
Speaker 2: come forward again. His name is Gabriel Old Awful charged
Speaker 2: him with some and they could potentially charge him with more.
Speaker 1: That's why people don't date anymore. You don't know what
Speaker 1: kind of a psychopath is on the other end of that.
Speaker 2: App, and there's nothing that there's nothing that says that
Speaker 2: having that kind of a resume precludes you from being
Speaker 2: a dirty monster, right.
Speaker 1: So there is probably a false sense of security though
Speaker 1: when you think you're talking to an actor who a
Speaker 1: working actor, you don't think you're going to be sexually
Speaker 1: assaulted once you cross the threshold.
Speaker 2: For whatever reason.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the US has warned Iran that its newly elected
Speaker 1: government and economy could suffer a devastating blow if it
Speaker 1: were to mount a major attack against Israel.
Speaker 2: So I wonder if Masud Pezishkhan, the new Iranian president,
Speaker 2: is an American sleeper agent, because he went to the
Speaker 2: Ayatola and said, hey, maybe it's not a good idea
Speaker 2: for US to attack Israel because Israel's going to flatten us.
Speaker 1: The Biden administration has been mounting an intensive campaign to
Speaker 1: discourage Iran, its proxies, and Israel from undertaking military action
Speaker 1: that would trigger an escalation.
Speaker 2: We are standing by for a news conference. Former President
Speaker 2: Trump has announced that he will hold one is supposed
Speaker 2: to start at about eleven o'clock hour time. We are
Speaker 2: going to take at the very least part of it.
Speaker 2: We got to see what he says, because there's some
Speaker 2: assumption that he's going to be talking about new plans
Speaker 2: for a debate against Vice President Harris, So that might
Speaker 2: eat up a bunch of swamp Watch. But I also
Speaker 2: wanted to get into the story of President Biden sitting
Speaker 2: down for an interview with CBS. It will the full
Speaker 2: interview is supposed to air on Sunday morning, but he
Speaker 2: said to Robert Costa at CBS, he is not confident
Speaker 2: at all that there would be a peaceful transfer of
Speaker 2: power if Donald Trump loses. Read that his quote. He
Speaker 2: means it all the stuff about if we lose, there
Speaker 2: will be a bloodbath. We'll play the quote for you
Speaker 2: when we get into swamp watch.
Speaker 1: Coming up the Olympics, if you did not see the
Speaker 1: come from behind Quincy Hall win in the four hundred meters,
Speaker 1: it is something to see.
Speaker 2: Talk about finding another gear.
Speaker 1: I mean sometimes you watch athletes so it's football game
Speaker 1: or what have you find another gear and just turn
Speaker 1: on the jets.
Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever seen it in that that
Speaker 2: dramatic short of that short of a race.
Speaker 1: He was just so behind. He was in like what
Speaker 1: fourth position or something like.
Speaker 2: That, if not worse, I mean, but he was able
Speaker 2: to what he started when he reaches that turn again
Speaker 2: the four hundred So it's one lap around, he reaches
Speaker 2: that final turn, he's done three hundred yards and listening
Speaker 2: to the NBC commentators saying, the look on his face
Speaker 2: was that he was done. Yeah at three hundred that
Speaker 2: Usually at three hundred you might feel like you have
Speaker 2: a little bit left to give. But he looked like
Speaker 2: he was out of it and looked to even be fading.
Speaker 2: But whatever happened in his head, you could tell his
Speaker 2: strides got longer. He did, I mean it just yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: And then a different race, yeah, and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, he wins. He barely wins, and he looks
Speaker 1: up at the screen to see if he won, sees
Speaker 1: that he won, and just had the look on his
Speaker 1: face is he can't believe it.
Speaker 2: He's like what what? What just happened? He's just as
Speaker 2: mystified as all of us watching, almost like he blacked
Speaker 2: out in those rights strides.
Speaker 1: So do you want to do the breakdancing now? Or
Speaker 1: do you want to work on it in the break?
Speaker 2: I actually think that producer Matt's going to have better
Speaker 2: moves than Matt. That would be uh, that would be
Speaker 2: cool if he had the secret.
Speaker 1: You guys, what Mondo you guys should battle a big
Speaker 1: break a breakdance off.
Speaker 2: Who are the judges? I'll judge. It's what sounds real
Speaker 2: tempting for Matt and I to be the ones that
Speaker 2: roll around on the floor for a few minutes and
Speaker 2: then you guys just videotape it and mock us.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, it would just be like everybody wants
Speaker 1: the videos of normal people doing Olympic stuff.
Speaker 2: It's fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're not a You're not are You're not
Speaker 1: a newbie at this. You you used to break dance
Speaker 1: with Frankie all the time, right.
Speaker 2: I think Eric was probably a better a breakdancer than
Speaker 2: both of us. Eric was pretty good. Yeah, yeah, Eric Downing.
Speaker 2: Do you guys break dance together and then have pillow fights?
Speaker 2: I don't know what you think happens neighborhood. It's not
Speaker 2: a slumber party. Not, no. No. The women's breakdancing competition
Speaker 2: takes place tomorrow. Qualifying rounds run from seven in the
Speaker 2: morning to about nine in the morning our time, Final
Speaker 2: three rounds in the afternoon, and then the men's competition
Speaker 2: will be Saturday, same schedule. I don't okay. There is
Speaker 2: a limit of summer Olympics athletes. Did you know that
Speaker 2: that they cap the number of athletes that can participate
Speaker 2: in the Summer Olympics. Okay, ten five hundred and organizers
Speaker 2: for the Paris Games were looking to add a sport
Speaker 2: that had as few competitors as possible, and at the
Speaker 2: same time, World Dance Sport Federation was looking to get
Speaker 2: a form of ballroom or salsa dancing into the Olympics.
Speaker 2: I feel like the better move, the better move, is
Speaker 2: to kind of carve off some of the the the
Speaker 2: fat perhaps that exists around the Olympics.
Speaker 1: We're getting too crazy here, a little too esoteric. Let's
Speaker 1: just keep it to the you know, the good old originals.
Speaker 2: Well, I wouldn't say the good old originals. One of
Speaker 2: the good old originals was literally floating in the water
Speaker 2: as long as you could. I think that there is
Speaker 2: that's kind of cool. But I mean soccer and I
Speaker 2: would even go so far as to say that baseball
Speaker 2: and softball should be brought back in Tennis is fine,
Speaker 2: golf is great. All of those things I think are
Speaker 2: still good. But in Olympic Breaking, two dancers face off
Speaker 2: against each other in three round battles on a circular
Speaker 2: stage meant to replicate the cipher, the circle that breakdancers
Speaker 2: form around the battling bee boys and be girls. I
Speaker 2: know that this is all you know, just wrote for you.
Speaker 1: Did you know that the original ancient Olympic Games, which
Speaker 1: began in seven seventy six before Christ in Olympia Greece,
Speaker 1: featured nude competitors. Yes, in all non equestrian events. If
Speaker 1: you work in a horse, you got to put your
Speaker 1: pants on. But so was it just an optional thing
Speaker 1: like b nude or don't be nude or no people
Speaker 1: just nude all the time?
Speaker 2: Just nude? There was no option. Oh really Yeah, if
Speaker 2: you're a French pole v alter, you got no shot.
Speaker 1: They said that it was tribute to Zeus, the Greek god,
Speaker 1: a way to showcase the athletes muscular physiques and physical strength.
Speaker 2: And everybody knows that Zeus never wore.
Speaker 1: Pants like Donald Sterling in a locker room. Look at
Speaker 1: my beautiful boys.
Speaker 2: For one minute each round. In these competitions, they take
Speaker 2: turns in the middle of the cipher, performing a series
Speaker 2: of dance moves spins, leaps, windmills, freezes, and then they'll
Speaker 2: try to match their moves to music selected randomly by
Speaker 2: a DJ. Judges then decide which break dancer performed the
Speaker 2: best according to a list of criteria musical interpretation, oh,
Speaker 2: I will watch this. Both the men and the women
Speaker 2: Olympic competitions have sixteen breakers each. The first round is
Speaker 2: a round robin qualifier that cuts the field in half.
Speaker 2: Quarter files, quarterfinals, semi finals, and finals are going to
Speaker 2: be single elimination. The American and probably the best bee
Speaker 2: boy entering the Olympics, Victor Montalvo, known as bee Boy Victor,
Speaker 2: He's thirty, Francis Donis Seville, Bee Boy, Danny Dan, Canada.
Speaker 1: Sound Ridiculous Canada is Philip Kim the boy You're sounding ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Breaking will take place in a temporary open air stadium
Speaker 2: in the middle of Place de con carl where three
Speaker 2: x three basketball, skateboarding and BMX freestyles also help. You've
Speaker 2: been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show, you can
Speaker 2: always hear us live on KFI AM six forty nine
Speaker 2: am to one pm every Monday through Friday, and anytime
Speaker 2: on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
