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. There was one on Saturday. Now
Speaker 1: there's another one this morning.
Speaker 2: This one was I think they revised it to under
Speaker 2: a three point zero so it fell off the radio.
Speaker 1: Do we have a location and a wellness check on
Speaker 1: Deborah Mark?
Speaker 3: I don't have either one of those actually.
Speaker 4: So I know what I will text her right now.
Speaker 2: There was another there was another earthquake in Texas. Though
Speaker 2: there's a two point four magnitude quake in Texas a
Speaker 2: short time ago.
Speaker 3: It's going on in Texas. Well.
Speaker 1: Yesterday I was in Pittsburgh and it was eighty three
Speaker 1: degrees and the humidity was.
Speaker 4: About seventy percent.
Speaker 1: Oh really, and so I just sat and sweated in
Speaker 1: the sun for.
Speaker 4: Like five hours.
Speaker 1: It was awful, and it just were all baking.
Speaker 4: Under the sun, the slight.
Speaker 1: Once in a while, God was blessed us with a breeze,
Speaker 1: but they were few and far between. Just start, we're
Speaker 1: in sauna suits, and then you know, you're sitting in
Speaker 1: the bus for an hour getting to the plane, and
Speaker 1: then you sit in the plane for five and a
Speaker 1: half hours, and then the bus again. I took a shower,
Speaker 1: and then I took a bath, and then I took
Speaker 1: another shower. And you still and I still feel gamey.
Speaker 1: So I apologize in advance, but I think I'm clean.
Speaker 3: It's fine. Well, welcome back to civilization.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 1: It feels so good to be home, sleeping in your
Speaker 1: own bed. I feel like I know what it's like
Speaker 1: to be homeless.
Speaker 2: You got kudos, by the way for the you didn't
Speaker 2: do it, but the quality of your studio in Charlotte. Oh,
Speaker 2: because I tell people, oh, yeah, she's in Charlotte this week,
Speaker 2: and they go Charlotte, North Carolina. Right, she sounds like
Speaker 2: she's right there. Yeah, that's good, so very good, very positive.
Speaker 3: Good for I.
Speaker 2: Congratulations to the I Heart engineers. We put it all together.
Speaker 2: World War three is coming and we're getting closer to it.
Speaker 2: There was an article that I pointed that I saw
Speaker 2: today that I wanted to talk about in swamp Watch.
Speaker 2: Unseerious candidates in a seriously dangerous world. Just a takedown
Speaker 2: of both sides. Right, why are you talking about the
Speaker 2: idiotic things or why are you ignoring.
Speaker 3: The biggest issues in the entire world right.
Speaker 1: Now, A really good point that I had not crystallized
Speaker 1: in my head. But just this morning I saw a
Speaker 1: link about Trump and his ever unattached campaign, chaotic campaign
Speaker 1: that he's been running with the conspiracy theories and all
Speaker 1: of the things that just aren't real. And then Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris just ditching out of things left and right because
Speaker 1: what does she have to lose by just staying silent?
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking we've gotten to this level of these
Speaker 1: are just figures. They're not real people. They're just like
Speaker 1: whatever is sold on them, and we're buying into that.
Speaker 1: And unserious is the perfect description such word.
Speaker 3: All Right.
Speaker 2: So, the guy who was charged in the second attempt
Speaker 2: on President Trump's life had written a letter, and we
Speaker 2: now know the district court filing that came out. We
Speaker 2: talk about the box that he left for a neighbor.
Speaker 2: Apparently dropped a box off at a friend's house a
Speaker 2: few months ago. Law enforcement was contacted by this guy
Speaker 2: back on the eighteenth, who said that Ryan Routh, the
Speaker 2: alleged would be shooter, dropped off this box and he
Speaker 2: opened the box after he learned about the assassination attempt
Speaker 2: or plan at Trump International golf course. And what he
Speaker 2: found in the box? Why would you not open the box?
Speaker 2: But if somebody drops off a box, you just keep it.
Speaker 4: What's in the box?
Speaker 2: What's in the box? Ammunition, four phones, and various letters.
Speaker 2: And one of the letters, if you don't mind, I'm
Speaker 2: going to read it to you.
Speaker 3: It was addressed to the world, dear world, This was
Speaker 3: an assassination attempt on Donald Trump. But I am so
Speaker 3: sorry I failed you now time out.
Speaker 4: How did he know he was going to fail?
Speaker 2: Was this letter? First of all? Was it actually given
Speaker 2: to the neighbor months ago? Was it a plot that
Speaker 2: had he had tried somewhere else? Yes, didn't and didn't
Speaker 2: fulfill it. That's what I take from it.
Speaker 3: Was it and months ago?
Speaker 2: Was it after the first assassination attempt? Could this guy
Speaker 2: have possibly had any connection to Butler Pennsylvania?
Speaker 1: Maybe we should not tell people to get involved in
Speaker 1: what's going on in the world and what's going in politics,
Speaker 1: because if the people getting involved are basement dwellers that
Speaker 1: are armed to the tilt, this could be a problem.
Speaker 1: He said, he ended relations with Iron like a child,
Speaker 1: and now the Middle East has unraveled. I might like
Speaker 1: that guy to stick to candy crush.
Speaker 2: He said, I tried my best, and I gave it
Speaker 2: all the gumption I could muster. It is up to
Speaker 2: you now to finish the job, and I will offer
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to whoever can complete
Speaker 2: the job. Everyone across the globe, from the youngest to
Speaker 2: the oldest, knows.
Speaker 3: That knows. I'm trying to read this.
Speaker 2: Oh, that Trump is unfit to be anything much less
Speaker 2: a US president. US presidents must, at bare minimum embody
Speaker 2: the moral fabric that is America and be kind, caring,
Speaker 2: and selfless and always stand up for humanity.
Speaker 1: That sounds beautiful at the end there, How much did
Speaker 1: he offer? One hundred and fifty grand?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Wow, this guy's sitting on one hundred and fifty grand.
Speaker 3: No, No, he's just offering it.
Speaker 4: Oh, he doesn't have it.
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's got it or if it's
Speaker 3: just deploy.
Speaker 4: Why would you make the offer.
Speaker 2: They also said that they found in his Nissan that
Speaker 2: he jumped into after the Secret Service started shooting at him.
Speaker 2: He jumped into and took off. They found six cell phones.
Speaker 2: One of those contained a Google search on how to
Speaker 2: travel from Palm Beach County, Florida to Mexico. They said
Speaker 2: that they also found several license plates. Cell Cite records
Speaker 2: from two of the phones revealed that this guy had
Speaker 2: traveled from Greensboro, North Carolina, to West Palm Beach on
Speaker 2: August fourteenth, and on multiple days and times from August
Speaker 2: eighteenth Toeptember fifteenth, he was at or near Trump International
Speaker 2: Golf Course and mar A Lago.
Speaker 3: Twelve pairs of gloves they found in this guy's truck.
Speaker 4: Not a proctologist.
Speaker 2: Not a proctologist. A Hawaii driver's license. We know that
Speaker 2: he was from Hawaii. One of the documents was a
Speaker 2: handwritten list of dates in August, September, and October and
Speaker 2: venues where Trump had either appeared or was expected to appear.
Speaker 1: Well, sometimes paranoid people like to wear gloves a lot.
Speaker 1: You've seen these people from time to time, whether it's
Speaker 1: at the gas station or what have you have those
Speaker 1: disposable gloves in their cars.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: We will not have a government shut down, at least
Speaker 2: not yet. Congressional leaders announced yesterday a short term spending
Speaker 2: bill that's going to fund federal agencies for about three months.
Speaker 2: Among the ad ons would be two hundred and thirty
Speaker 2: one million dollars included to bolster the Secret Service after
Speaker 2: a couple.
Speaker 3: Of assassination attempts.
Speaker 2: A quick update on some pretty reputable polls. New York Times,
Speaker 2: seeing a College poll, looked at a few ground states
Speaker 2: Trump has gained to has widened, I should say, to
Speaker 2: a five percentage point lead in Arizona. He's still about
Speaker 2: four points ahead in Georgia. Those are two states that
Speaker 2: he lost to Biden four years ago. But in North Carolina,
Speaker 2: which has not voted for a Democrats in two thousand
Speaker 2: and eight, Vice President Harris trails Trump by two points.
Speaker 3: So he leads in those three battleground states.
Speaker 1: HESBLA fired over one hundred rockets early yesterday across northern Israel.
Speaker 1: Israel launching hundreds of strikes on Lebanon. Hesbalah leader has
Speaker 1: declared an open ended battle, and both sides appear to
Speaker 1: be spiraling toward in all out war.
Speaker 2: Hesblah been launching rockets into Israel almost NonStop, especially since
Speaker 2: October seventh.
Speaker 4: I feel like the.
Speaker 1: Scale was wider over the weekend. In response, the US
Speaker 1: military sending a small number of US military personnel forward.
Speaker 4: Very vague the way they put.
Speaker 1: Isn't it to the Middle East to augment the forces
Speaker 1: already in the area. According to Pentagon Press Secretary Major
Speaker 1: General Patrick Ryder, he said today, in light of the
Speaker 1: increased tensions in the Middle East and out, and of
Speaker 1: an abundance of caution, we're sending a small number of
Speaker 1: US military personnel to augment our forces, but for operational
Speaker 1: security reasons. I'm not going to comment further.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And to give you an idea of the Israeli
Speaker 2: air strikes killed, they said two hundred and seventy four
Speaker 2: people in Lebanon. In really what has become the largest
Speaker 2: barrage of aerial attacks since the two thousand and six war.
Speaker 2: Has the law in response, launched more than one hundred
Speaker 2: rockets towards Israel today, reaching deep into Israel around the
Speaker 2: northern city of Haifa, parts of the occupied West Bank.
Speaker 2: Again over one hundred. All of the missiles were intercepted.
Speaker 2: Two people were lightly injured in Israel from falling shrapnel.
Speaker 2: A number of homes did suffer direct hits, but they
Speaker 2: have not yet said if those injuries to the people
Speaker 2: were very serious.
Speaker 1: What does Iran say, Well, they say Israel should be
Speaker 1: ready for dangerous consequences Following these strikes, The strongly condemned
Speaker 1: the Israeli airstrikes, describing them as simply crazy. Also went
Speaker 1: after us and our support of Israel.
Speaker 3: Well, that's it. That's a two. Not a surprise there.
Speaker 2: The Israeli military said it hit three hundred targets, said
Speaker 2: it was going specifically after Hesbala weapons sites. Some strikes
Speaker 2: hit in some residential areas. One strike did hit a
Speaker 2: wooded area as far away as Biblos in the central
Speaker 2: part of Lebanon that's about eighty miles from the border
Speaker 2: north of Beirut and has Blas as it fired the
Speaker 2: dozens of rockets at an Israeli military post in Galilee
Speaker 2: and also targeted facilities at the Raphael Defense firm headquartered
Speaker 2: in Haifa. As Israel was carrying out the attacks, authorities
Speaker 2: reported a series of air raid sirens in northern Israel
Speaker 2: to warn of those rockets that were coming in from Lebanon.
Speaker 1: Looking at video and pictures of these explosions, I mean,
Speaker 1: it just looks like residential areas.
Speaker 4: It does look like an all out war.
Speaker 2: Well, and the I guess the thing is, I don't
Speaker 2: know if it's just a weird aspect of all of this,
Speaker 2: Israel warns people we're gonna bomb the absolute living tar
Speaker 2: out of this neighborhood or this apartment complex, or that
Speaker 2: we are going to target that because we're going after
Speaker 2: one specific guy. And Israel's Prime minister has been telling
Speaker 2: people to get out to evacuate their homes. Take this
Speaker 2: warning seriously. He issued the warning, did Benjamin Etna, who
Speaker 2: in a videotaped message said it was aimed specifically to
Speaker 2: Lebanese civilians. The warplanes were already in the air when
Speaker 2: it happened, but Israel ordered residents in the area to
Speaker 2: leave ahead of the air strikes and said, we know
Speaker 2: that Hazblah uses you uses civilians to hide weapons and things, right.
Speaker 1: And I don't know enough to know how a pervasive
Speaker 1: Hesbela sites are.
Speaker 4: Are they everywhere? Are there just a few locations?
Speaker 1: You know? I mean, how hard is it for civilians
Speaker 1: to move away from all Hesbela sites? They say the
Speaker 1: schools are serving as shelters there, but we've seen we've
Speaker 1: seen that happen before where terrorist groups use the schools
Speaker 1: to operate out.
Speaker 2: Of h three hundred targets. So that's pretty much everywhere.
Speaker 2: I think yep, it's what.
Speaker 4: They Well, that's nearly impossible then to move away from
Speaker 4: those entirely.
Speaker 2: So there was a very large scale shooting in Birmingham,
Speaker 2: Alabama over the weekend.
Speaker 4: This is odd.
Speaker 1: Now it's described as being a targeted hit on one
Speaker 1: of the people at this nightlife spot there. I mean,
Speaker 1: we've seen these nightclub shootings before, where much more people
Speaker 1: collateral damage is extensive gang war, gang.
Speaker 3: War from some fight between groups.
Speaker 2: But in this case, you're right, it seems like it
Speaker 2: may have been one, one specific person was the target.
Speaker 4: Okay, ye, so listen, we've been away for a week.
Speaker 3: You know, we should set up an iPad so we
Speaker 3: can see each other.
Speaker 4: No, I do not need you to see this.
Speaker 2: Kmart is closing its last full size store in the
Speaker 2: United States in a couple of weeks. Wow Amart located
Speaker 2: in Bridgehampton, New York, down on the South Fork along Island.
Speaker 3: It's going to close his doors for good. October twentieth, we.
Speaker 1: Got an update on the shooting we talked about last week.
Speaker 1: This was the shooting of the judge, the sole judge
Speaker 1: in a county in Kentucky, and it was the local
Speaker 1: sheriff that shot and killed him. Now we're hearing that
Speaker 1: the two have been friends for years. They were once
Speaker 1: married to a pair of sisters. We're getting all the
Speaker 1: sort of details, so we'll get into that later in
Speaker 1: the show.
Speaker 3: Also, remember that super yacht that sank off the coast
Speaker 3: of Italy. I believe it was.
Speaker 1: Yes, a bunch of people with money on board at
Speaker 1: look suspicious.
Speaker 2: And it got more suspicious because they believe that there's
Speaker 2: a safe on board that yacht that may contain very
Speaker 2: highly sensitive intelligence Informationally fascinating.
Speaker 4: I'll watch that movie totally.
Speaker 5: Hey, good morning guys. Great to hear you back in town. Shannon.
Speaker 5: And the last two games I watched with the Chargers,
Speaker 5: there was a little cameo with you walking by the
Speaker 5: camera in the background. Anyway, if you look good on
Speaker 5: TV too, talk you later by Yeah.
Speaker 1: One of our friends sent me that, Aaron, And it's
Speaker 1: when Justin is I shouldn't laugh. It's when Justin's hobbling
Speaker 1: to the sideline and collapsing and I'm like following close behind,
Speaker 1: and I said, yeah, live look in at me wanting
Speaker 1: to get up, and close to the end of the season,
Speaker 1: I go, man.
Speaker 4: That was a run.
Speaker 1: I mean all the best players, I mean some of
Speaker 1: the best players. When you look at where these games
Speaker 1: are fought, especially against the Pittsburgh Steelers, ere in the trenches,
Speaker 1: and to be down Joey Bosa on the edge, to
Speaker 1: be down Joe Alt and Rashaun Slater guarding Justin, to
Speaker 1: have Justin go down, it was just worst case scenario.
Speaker 2: I heard at one point Matt say something like, are
Speaker 2: there two players in the in the injury tent?
Speaker 3: Like that?
Speaker 2: There were mult there were so many people going in there.
Speaker 2: At one point there was There was also this by.
Speaker 5: Gary Shandon's so glad that you guys are back together
Speaker 5: in the studio, But it never sounded like Shannon ever left.
Speaker 6: It's amazing what you guys can do.
Speaker 5: I just gotta say, Channon twenty four, twenty.
Speaker 1: Seven, Yeah, okay, all right, all right, yeah, take the
Speaker 1: victory lap.
Speaker 4: Take it.
Speaker 1: Here's another case that happens in my life. The forty
Speaker 1: nine Ers were down their best players, their best offensive weapons.
Speaker 1: No Debo, no Christian McCaffrey, no George kittle Brock. Perty
Speaker 1: was legit man. He looked legit and he and he
Speaker 1: did not take the blame for that drop.
Speaker 4: In the end, zone.
Speaker 3: Well he shouldn't.
Speaker 1: But also, y'all were wrong about the vikings. Yes, and
Speaker 1: that's all I'm going to say. Yes, I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: like Donald Trump and say I'll talk about it one
Speaker 1: time and then bring it up for the rest of
Speaker 1: the year every.
Speaker 3: Opportunity that you get.
Speaker 2: Okay, A shooting Saturday night in the five point South
Speaker 2: entertainment district in Birmingham, Alabama, just about eleven o'clock that night, restaurants, bars,
Speaker 2: I mean, big cities like this. It's not a giant city,
Speaker 2: but bigger cities like this do have these kind of
Speaker 2: entertainment districts. I think of Nashville's Broadway or the gas
Speaker 2: Land quarter down in San Diego, mass shooting, they said
Speaker 2: in a crowded weekend sidewalk night, unnerved residents. City officials
Speaker 2: are trying to figure out how to solve this and
Speaker 2: address this bigger problem that they have of gun violence.
Speaker 2: And they say four people were killed, seventeen others injured
Speaker 2: when multiple shooters started shooting, and what police described as
Speaker 2: a targeted hit on either on one of the people
Speaker 2: that was killed in the night they're at the nightclub.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be cute, but this was overkill.
Speaker 1: If there was one person targeted and as murder for
Speaker 1: hire and multiple shooters start firing, that's too much. Approximately
Speaker 1: one hundred shell casing is recovered at the scene. Now
Speaker 1: there is a difference for me when it and I
Speaker 1: don't know if there is when you define this legally,
Speaker 1: but there's a difference for me between a mass shooting
Speaker 1: and a targeted murder for hire. A mass shooting, to
Speaker 1: me denotes that somebody is out there trying to take
Speaker 1: out as many people as possible. A murder for hire
Speaker 1: is one target and a bunch of collateral damage. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it matters, but that's my delineation.
Speaker 3: Well, what matters.
Speaker 2: What's different about it is the motivation behind it in
Speaker 2: the first place, and the potential for it to be repeated.
Speaker 3: I think. Police officers said they found two men and
Speaker 3: a woman on a sidewalk, gunshot wounds. They were pronounced dead.
Speaker 2: They are another old gunshot victim pronounced dead at the
Speaker 2: hospital and by early Sunday, after people started showing up
Speaker 2: to the hospitals themselves, taking themselves, et cetera, they identified
Speaker 2: seventeen people with injuries, some of them life threatening. Four
Speaker 2: of those surviving victims conditions ranged from good to critical,
Speaker 2: treated at University of Alabama Birmingham Hospital. One of the witnesses,
Speaker 2: a twenty four year old, said he was in a
Speaker 2: long line of people waiting to get into a club
Speaker 2: when all of a sudden, gunshots were everywhere. Police set
Speaker 2: approximately one hundred shell casings recovered at the scene. Law
Speaker 2: enforcement working to figure out which kind of weapons were used,
Speaker 2: but that they do believe some of them were fully automatic.
Speaker 3: Those are illegal.
Speaker 2: Generally, it's impossible to get those in the United States,
Speaker 2: but it's not impossible if you're a bad guy willing
Speaker 2: to do bad things to people. A twenty two year
Speaker 2: old BioMed engineering student lives nearby, was working on a
Speaker 2: school brought project heard the burst of shots, said it
Speaker 2: sounded like automatic gunfire. Said I heard it, looked out
Speaker 2: my window and immediately saw people running away, fleeing the scene.
Speaker 2: The Birmingham mayor is asking state and federal officials to
Speaker 2: give the cities more tools to address gun violence, but
Speaker 2: both hands behind his back to illustrate what it's like
Speaker 2: for cities to combat crime. Alabama last year abolished the
Speaker 2: requirement to get a permit to carry a concealed handgun
Speaker 2: in public. But again, that's not what this is. This
Speaker 2: is not just people walking around with handguns in public.
Speaker 2: This is people willing to kill others for a price.
Speaker 4: I'm going to have to proofread this and just bring
Speaker 4: you the.
Speaker 2: Highlights, like a copied said Xerox magazine.
Speaker 1: It's a well researched letter, so I'll have to it's
Speaker 1: a little meaty. Hey did you hear about this new
Speaker 1: study Australia that travel itself can keep you young, That
Speaker 1: the positive experiences associated with trips, the social interactions, the
Speaker 1: mental stimulation, the physical activity can delay the aging process.
Speaker 1: Kind of makes sense. It keeps the brain moving. They say,
Speaker 1: it's not just about leisure and recreation. Tourism plays an
Speaker 1: important role in individual health and public health.
Speaker 3: Well, if you go, especially if you go to a
Speaker 3: place that's new to you, right, you're constantly stimulating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't need your cell phone to play candy Crush.
Speaker 1: You're learning new things, new cultures, new way of doing things.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I felt felt that after I came back from Tennessee,
Speaker 2: like there was because it was such a different place,
Speaker 2: and I was joking, I was thinking about this.
Speaker 3: This weekend.
Speaker 2: How different the stores are just in different places that
Speaker 2: you go. And I know internationally obviously that it's it's
Speaker 2: kind of a goofy thing to say out loud.
Speaker 3: Oh, they have different products in their stores.
Speaker 2: But one of the thing things that I found in
Speaker 2: a in the grocery store beer ale in Tennessee was
Speaker 2: hard mountain dew, oh like mountain dew seltzers, like of
Speaker 2: a five percent alcohol content kind of mountain dew.
Speaker 3: And I can't find that in California. I didn't buy.
Speaker 3: I didn't buy any in Tennessee because I had to
Speaker 3: buy a twelve pack.
Speaker 4: I don't know if I want to see you on
Speaker 4: a hard mountain.
Speaker 2: Hard mountain do you can't find that anywhere outside of Appalachia.
Speaker 3: Apparently I did not know that.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 4: Appalasia is a fun, fun area, isn't it.
Speaker 3: What's great is it goes all the way to Maine.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And May never gets the credit for having hill people
Speaker 2: the way that places like Tennessee and Kentucky and Virginias do.
Speaker 3: But it's time for terroring this guy.
Speaker 4: Fike is zero and ire York are to day.
Speaker 6: Roger, get off my.
Speaker 3: Plane, Roger Rogers putzar vector Victor no is Eno I
Speaker 3: have had with these multy pipe snakes.
Speaker 4: Own this money.
Speaker 3: It's Gary and Shannon's terror in the skies on KFI.
Speaker 2: We'll start with a local one and this was a tragedy.
Speaker 2: A pilot was killed after a couple of small engine
Speaker 2: planes collided in midair.
Speaker 3: But they believe over.
Speaker 2: A landcaster yesterday two older retro airplanes. I guess you
Speaker 2: could call them a YAK fifty two and a CJ
Speaker 2: six A.
Speaker 3: The YAK fifty two.
Speaker 2: Is a single engine plane designed in the seventies in
Speaker 2: the Soviet Union. The CJ six A was originally produced
Speaker 2: for the Chinese military back in the sixties. They're both
Speaker 2: known to be used in aerobatic shows. But they collided,
Speaker 2: one pilot aboard each plane. One of the pilots was
Speaker 2: killed yesterday afternoon. That's not uplifting, nope.
Speaker 1: A Scandinavian airline spokesperson says a rat a mouse jumped
Speaker 1: out of a passenger's airplane. Meal like those aren't precarious
Speaker 1: at best. Anyway, you don't know what you're getting in there.
Speaker 1: That it posed a safety risk because there was oslo
Speaker 1: to Spain, they is she the passenger opened or in
Speaker 1: flight meal in the live mouse just scampered out.
Speaker 3: Did they ever catch the mouse?
Speaker 1: They made an emergency landing for this mouse, which I
Speaker 1: think is overkill. Just catch the mouse, put it in
Speaker 1: a bag, and continue your flight. Well, I guess if
Speaker 1: it's a disease carrying mouse and then that spreads, and
Speaker 1: then that's liability, I.
Speaker 3: Suppose, silly wability.
Speaker 2: Jet Blue Flight had to make an emergency landing because
Speaker 2: of a smoke alert cross country flight from JFK destined
Speaker 2: for San Diego. They diverted it to Salina, Kansas over
Speaker 2: what ultimately was a false alarm. The Jet Blue pilots
Speaker 2: received an alert that there might have been smoke in
Speaker 2: the cargo hold, so they went. They said the plane
Speaker 2: dropped thirty thousand feet in less than ten minutes. You
Speaker 2: know that a little funny feeling that you get about
Speaker 2: forty minutes out of out of landing when you're out
Speaker 2: there and they say we're we're going to start our
Speaker 2: descent here and the plane just barely.
Speaker 4: Just tips, just just a tiny.
Speaker 3: Bit, and you go, oh, I felt that.
Speaker 2: Yes, that usually takes forty minutes for you to go
Speaker 2: from you know, a cruising altitude thirty five thousand feet
Speaker 2: or whatever to wheels down.
Speaker 3: This took them ten minutes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, which is a little terrifying.
Speaker 2: You can tell it's going a little faster you're used to.
Speaker 2: There was no smoke. There was just a bad alarm.
Speaker 1: So last night on the plane, I was so tired
Speaker 1: and I really wanted to recline my seat. I just
Speaker 1: felt like three inches back and I have a pillow
Speaker 1: and it would make all the difference from being upright.
Speaker 1: But I didn't do it because I am a firm
Speaker 1: believer in not reclining my seat, especially being five three
Speaker 1: or whatever I am. And the dude behind me is,
Speaker 1: you know, six feet six eight three fifty feeling silly
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 3: Well, I I.
Speaker 2: Don't sleep well on planes. I know some people like
Speaker 2: conk out of me. I've never been able to sleep
Speaker 2: well on planes. Yeah, but I cannot imagine that that
Speaker 2: you said three inches.
Speaker 3: I think that's generous.
Speaker 2: That two and a quarter inches of recline up at
Speaker 2: the top of the seat is going to make any
Speaker 2: difference in your ability to sleep well.
Speaker 1: The seat reclining etiquette has long been a debate, but
Speaker 1: an argument between three passengers and China escalated into xenophobic insults.
Speaker 3: Do you have an account on Jaohangshu?
Speaker 4: No? What is that like Snapchat?
Speaker 3: It's like Instagram?
Speaker 4: Instagram?
Speaker 3: Got it?
Speaker 2: In China, Chunghanngshu, a passenger from mainland China, wrote, the
Speaker 2: lady sitting behind me asked me to put my seat
Speaker 2: up because it was blocking her husband's view of the TV.
Speaker 2: I politely declined, and she started stretching her feet onto
Speaker 2: my armrest, kicking my arm and cursing at me like crazy.
Speaker 2: A flight attendant attempted to intervene by suggesting that the
Speaker 2: woman raised her seat, but the situation got worse when
Speaker 2: the woman wouldn't budge.
Speaker 1: When the passenger realized my Cantonese wasn't so great, she
Speaker 1: started throwing around some nasty comments, calling me a girl
Speaker 1: oh and other derogatory stuff. Of course, people from Hong
Speaker 1: Kong mainly speak Cantonese. Those from mainland China speak Mandarin,
Speaker 1: so it's an insult.
Speaker 4: It's like you country bumpkin.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're the ones who are racially divisive in
Speaker 2: this country. Once I started recording, the husband behind me
Speaker 2: even shoved his hand on my arm rest and started
Speaker 2: shaking it like crazy. I felt my personal space had
Speaker 2: been completely violated.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, man, the Asians, there's a whole hierarchy where
Speaker 1: they fight over the order, whether it's the Japanese, the Chinese,
Speaker 1: the Koreans, theat I mean, there's a whole fight over
Speaker 1: what the number one is. And don't get my husband
Speaker 1: and Joquan into a room together because that gets ugly
Speaker 1: real quick.
Speaker 2: Other passengers started to intervene. One female voice, you're old enough.
Speaker 2: Why are you bullying a young girl? And others chimed
Speaker 2: in in Cantonese, saying you're embarrassing us Hong kongers.
Speaker 1: Stop saying that you're from Hong Kong. This is like
Speaker 1: Petaluma versus Nevado, is it? Well, remember when your mom
Speaker 1: called me those one of those Maringe girls. Well, she said,
Speaker 1: those Meringue girls are always such potty mouths.
Speaker 3: They It's true.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people from Petaluma and Santa
Speaker 1: Rosa that make me seem very demure, demure.
Speaker 6: Welcome back, Shannon to the Gary and Shannon Show. Shannon,
Speaker 6: I'm glad you enjoyed your time in my hometown of
Speaker 6: Pittsburgh and saw my Stillers beat your chargers. AnyWho, Shannon
Speaker 6: does a much better job setting up her third studio
Speaker 6: than Handel does because you could hear handle slurping and
Speaker 6: sniffing and coughing and burping.
Speaker 3: Good god, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you for not slurping and coffin and burping
Speaker 2: and sniff I will say this.
Speaker 1: I know people do their show in different parts of
Speaker 1: the different areas, different studios regularly.
Speaker 4: People here do it.
Speaker 1: We've done it before, or football or COVID or whatever.
Speaker 1: There's a definite, in my opinion, a definite drop off. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's enough to where it annoys me to where
Speaker 1: I want to minimize our time not here together in
Speaker 1: the same room.
Speaker 2: Which is funny because, like I said, you got compliments.
Speaker 2: Everybody was very They didn't hear it the way we
Speaker 2: hear it, I think, and that's probably what it is, right,
Speaker 2: So but that's it was all nice stuff, all right
Speaker 2: up next, Good lord? Is there nothing else going on
Speaker 2: in this state?
Speaker 4: I actually kind of like this band.
Speaker 2: Well it's one of those bands that it's a ban
Speaker 2: of something that never should have happened in the first place.
Speaker 3: But plastic bag ban. Good job, Gaff. You've been listening
