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: That's where you would start if you wanted to see
Speaker 2: what it was like to be blind, But closing your
Speaker 2: eyes seems a little bit two on the nose, maybe
Speaker 2: to see if you were actually blind. Gary and Shannon
Speaker 2: kfi AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: The Return of Yellowstone delivered the show's biggest premiere night
Speaker 2: audience ever across cable and CBS. The season five, Part
Speaker 2: two debut drew sixteen almost sixteen and a half million viewers.
Speaker 1: Did you get in trouble at all for saying earlier
Speaker 1: what happened in the episode?
Speaker 2: Everyone knew it was coming right, Well, I I don't.
Speaker 2: There was one person who on talkback said WTAF WTAF
Speaker 2: maybe absolute actual, actual what it is, but it's not.
Speaker 2: That wasn't a giant spoiler. It happens in the first
Speaker 2: thirty seconds of the show and sets up sort of
Speaker 2: what they're going to do for the rest of the season,
Speaker 2: and knowing the machinations in the first part of season anyway,
Speaker 2: sixteen point five million is what they're doing. Did you
Speaker 2: see that? Denzel says he's going to.
Speaker 1: Retire Denzel Perriman wrong, Denzel Washington best actor ever? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think Denzel Perryman was named after him.
Speaker 2: He plans to retire from Hollywood. He's got a slate
Speaker 2: of movies that he's working on, but he says after
Speaker 2: that he's going to retire. He said, I've been talking
Speaker 2: with Steve McQueen about a film. After that. Ryan Coogler's
Speaker 2: writing apart for me in the next Black Panther. After that,
Speaker 2: I'm going to do the film Othello. After that, I'm
Speaker 2: going to do King Lear And after that I'm going
Speaker 2: to retire Shakespeare. Couple he started in Shakespeare. He said
Speaker 2: he did a fellow at twenty two. Oh okay, so
Speaker 2: it's like a full circle moment. Yeah, that'd be quite cool.
Speaker 1: I have your jet pretty question before we get to
Speaker 1: Trump's cabinet. What is the number one top selling jersey
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now today?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Can I ask a quick follow up? Yes, well,
Speaker 2: it's a silly question. I think I'm already I was
Speaker 2: gonna say, is it a current player? Yes? Okay, most
Speaker 2: popular jersey.
Speaker 1: From the NFL top selling, number one top selling jersey
Speaker 1: in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Number one top selling jersey the NFL. You know what
Speaker 2: they say in Star Wars? Look within? That's they do?
Speaker 2: Do they not say that within? I feel like Yoda
Speaker 2: says that or someone Darth Vader. Is it the Trevor
Speaker 2: Lawrence jersey that comes with its own wig?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Would it be justin Herbert? What did I What advice
Speaker 2: did I give you? Look within? Look within? Within? Where
Speaker 2: your heart my heart? Yes?
Speaker 4: C J.
Speaker 1: Stroud right there, right inside your dead cold heart.
Speaker 2: But the largest, the largest size they have is a medium. No,
Speaker 2: that's Bryce Young.
Speaker 5: C J.
Speaker 2: Stroud is six three. You keep saying this. C J.
Speaker 2: Stroud is this huge person.
Speaker 1: Bryce Young is the one who's five ten maybe both
Speaker 1: like five ft four.
Speaker 2: That is you're so you're wrong. Do you want to
Speaker 2: know what the rest of the list is? Yes?
Speaker 1: Number two, Caleb Williams, Number three, Patrick Mahomes number four,
Speaker 1: Aiden Hutchinson number five. I was gonna say something mean
Speaker 1: like that comes with crutches or something, but I didn't.
Speaker 1: Number five, Jaden Daniels, number six, I'm on ros Saint
Speaker 1: Brown number seven, Ceed Lamb number eight, Josh Allen number
Speaker 1: nine Justin Jefferson and number ten Max Crosby.
Speaker 2: So am, I right, Saint Brown is the first non
Speaker 2: quarterback on that list. The top five or six are
Speaker 2: all quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: Let me see here, one, two, three, No, Aiden Hutchinson's
Speaker 1: not a quarter.
Speaker 2: But yeah, okay, that's good. Yeah, there you go. Time
Speaker 2: for swamp watch. Swamp is horrible, the government doesn't work.
Speaker 3: Good man, You're gonna make this like a reality TV
Speaker 3: show bad.
Speaker 2: Which is always a pleasure to be in it. Within Washington,
Speaker 2: z c. Hey, Joe, it was like a town and
Speaker 2: it could have been the never ending story in so
Speaker 2: many ways. Still a swamp watch, make, he said, drained
Speaker 2: the swamp. I said, oh that's so keep You know
Speaker 2: the thing, Well, we're getting closer to a Trump presidency,
Speaker 2: the forty seventh president of the United States, and we
Speaker 2: know some of who would be in his cabinet if
Speaker 2: he were to pick today. The Republican Florida Senator Marco Rubio,
Speaker 2: seen as a pretty hawkish unfeign policy, tough on China,
Speaker 2: tough on Iran, he would be Secretary of According to
Speaker 2: some of these reports, he was also in consideration to
Speaker 2: be a running mate be the vice president. On the
Speaker 2: ticket before Trump selected Jade Vance. And I remember, listen,
Speaker 2: we talked about this in that first segment. Susie Wilds,
Speaker 2: of course, who's now been named chief of Staff. Incredibly
Speaker 2: powerful woman and apparently incredibly powerful when it comes to
Speaker 2: fleshing out this cabinet. Marco Rubio is one of her favorites,
Speaker 2: and apparently she had a large hand in suggesting him
Speaker 2: for Secretary of State.
Speaker 1: So I was reading this article about how Democrats lost
Speaker 1: Latinos and how this is too great of a voting
Speaker 1: block to lose. They say millions of Latinos in this country,
Speaker 1: just like the white auto workers in Michigan, the truck
Speaker 1: drivers in Pennsylvania, that they feel like they're getting left
Speaker 1: behind in this global economy that the Democrats preach that
Speaker 1: seems to fuel itself by hollowing out border towns and
Speaker 1: still steel mill cities. For decades, Democrats relied on Latinos
Speaker 1: seeing Republicans as racist or hostile to immigrants, to keep
Speaker 1: high percentages of that group's support. But now Latinos seem
Speaker 1: to have lost faith and the Democrats handle on the economy,
Speaker 1: even with Trump's you know, chants at times accusing immigrants
Speaker 1: of poisoning the blood of our country. They say that
Speaker 1: they they just care about the working class. Over eighty
Speaker 1: percent of Latinos are working class. An enormous number of
Speaker 1: them are strivers for working manual labor. Trump's appeal in
Speaker 1: a Latino meatpacking town looks a lot like his appeal
Speaker 1: in the white factory towns in Michigan and Pennsylvania. But
Speaker 1: these are the working class, the people that feel left
Speaker 1: out by the elite. And it used to just be
Speaker 1: the white people in Appalachia, but now it's the Latinos
Speaker 1: and working towns.
Speaker 2: I saw a statistic that there are I believe it's
Speaker 2: fourteen counties in Texas along the Rio Grande River, and
Speaker 2: that four years ago only five of them voted for Trump.
Speaker 2: This round, twelve of those fourteen counties along the Rio
Speaker 2: grand voted for Trump. And obviously they're very heavily Latino
Speaker 2: populated counties, but that would be a very specific evidence
Speaker 2: that they broke for Trump this year. Here is something else.
Speaker 1: They lost support, even Democrats did, even among undocumented Latinos
Speaker 1: that there were friends in Excuse me, this one woman
Speaker 1: they spoke to, she says, I've got friends in one
Speaker 1: of these border towns, though they couldn't vote, nonetheless supported Trump.
Speaker 1: Some had lived in the States for decades, working long hours,
Speaker 1: paying Social Security taxes they'd never get back. They felt
Speaker 1: bitter and aggrieved that the newest arrivals, especially people from Venezuela,
Speaker 1: had been given that humanitarian Biden kiss, the humanitarian parole
Speaker 1: while they themselves still lacked legal status, that the newcomers
Speaker 1: are getting ahead of in line over them because of
Speaker 1: the Democrats.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that feeling, I think they've put this article puts
Speaker 2: it very well. The feeling of being cut in line
Speaker 2: is the glue that unites conservatives in this country. Whatever
Speaker 2: arena that is, if you feel like you've waited patiently
Speaker 2: for your opportunity and it's been taken away from you
Speaker 2: or handed to somebody else who didn't deserve it, that
Speaker 2: was a uniting theme. And in this case it happens
Speaker 2: to be immigration, which is a pretty significant and inescapable
Speaker 2: truth about what happened last Tuesday. So how do they
Speaker 2: fix it? It makes sense, you know when you think.
Speaker 1: About when the Democrats were winning all the Latino votes
Speaker 1: and you know, amnesty and all these things. That was
Speaker 1: you know, a long time ago that people have been
Speaker 1: here for decades now. They don't identify with the people
Speaker 1: coming in from Venezuela.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean one of those people they She
Speaker 2: said she's at ninety seven percent Latino. Sorry, Star County
Speaker 2: is ninety seven percent Latino. Star is more Mexican by
Speaker 2: population than some places in Mexico because of the demographics
Speaker 2: live within. When we come back the court cases and
Speaker 2: the ongoing court cases against President elect Trump, what that
Speaker 2: means going forward, because the New York judge has decided
Speaker 2: to punt a bit when it comes to the criminal
Speaker 2: hush money conviction. News Nation's Laura Ingle is going to
Speaker 2: join us in just a couple of minutes.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Tuesday, November twelfth. A senior police official is
Speaker 2: warning of calls for more rioting in Amsterdam after those
Speaker 2: and some people armed with sticks and firecrackers set a
Speaker 2: tram on fire last night. The city is facing tensions
Speaker 2: following violence last week the targeted fans IF, an Israeli
Speaker 2: soccer club. One of the Amsterdam police officers told a
Speaker 2: court hearing, we have signals that there are calls for
Speaker 2: similar unrest in the western part of that city. We've
Speaker 2: got your chance at one thousand dollars.
Speaker 6: Now your chance to win one thousand dollars. Just enter
Speaker 6: this nationwide keyword on our website money. That's money, mon Ey.
Speaker 6: Enter it now at KFIAM six forty dot com, slash

Speaker 6: an accident, winning is everything, call the winning attorneys at

Speaker 2: Money is that keyword? It goes again on the website.
Speaker 2: We'll let you know via email if you won your
Speaker 2: thousand bucks and do it again an hour from now.
Speaker 1: We were talking about only children and more and more
Speaker 1: households that are deciding to just have the one child.
Speaker 2: Yeah, was that a decision for you or did you
Speaker 2: grow up as a single child, a lone lone child,
Speaker 2: only child, only child. I'm always fascinated by when was
Speaker 2: the moment you realized, oh, not every family is like mine. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean there are times, you know, you spend the
Speaker 2: night at a friend's house or or you know, college
Speaker 2: or something like that. My roommate in college, had a
Speaker 2: he had a weird, weird life. It just there was
Speaker 2: there was like, well, there was some abuse in the home.
Speaker 2: There was some confusion in the home. There was a
Speaker 2: lot of weird stuff. Abuse like mild abuse or real abuse.
Speaker 2: It was pretty serious. Oh wow. Yeah, I mean he
Speaker 2: was a very well adjusted guy. He hadn't worked through everything,
Speaker 2: but and he was very honest with me. And he
Speaker 2: was still, I mean, just a great guy. But yeah,
Speaker 2: that that opened my eyes quite a bit. Not everything
Speaker 2: was Pollyanna. Yeah, you thought your house was the way
Speaker 2: all houses were. Yeah, that is not the case now,
Speaker 2: not by a long shot, that's for certain. We also
Speaker 2: got a call from.
Speaker 5: Mary and this is Mike from the High High Desert.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to tell you guys that I love
Speaker 2: you've done.
Speaker 7: I listened to your every day.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you for that. Appreciate especially if you're out
Speaker 2: in the High Desert. A couple other names we didn't
Speaker 2: get to regarding potential cabinet picks. Environmental Protection Agency director
Speaker 2: Lee Zelden. He is a congressman from New York. He
Speaker 2: was once a gubernatorial candidate outspoken defender of Trump. During
Speaker 2: his first impeachment, Trump mentioned Lee Zelden's legal background, which
Speaker 2: is he's going to probably lean on the APIA to
Speaker 2: roll back some of the environmental regulations. At least. The
Speaker 2: fanic from a congresswoman from New York could be the
Speaker 2: UN ambassador pick Christy noam In as Homeland Security Secretary,
Speaker 2: obviously helping team up with Tom Holman to oversee the
Speaker 2: immigration crackdown. We already mentioned Susie Wiles of course as
Speaker 2: chief of Staff, but one of the deputy chiefs of
Speaker 2: Staff in this case for policy would be Stephen Miller,
Speaker 2: probably going to work heavily on the immigration issue as well.
Speaker 2: And then National Security Advisor Mike Walls, congressman out of Florida,
Speaker 2: as a guy who gets bipartisan support for his experience
Speaker 2: if nothing else. A Green Beret, the first Green Beret
Speaker 2: ever elected to Congress, would potentially serve as the national
Speaker 2: security official leaving the House after he represented Florida since
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: The talk about Marco Rubio is bothering some MAGA Republicans
Speaker 1: Trump loyalists. They say that he doesn't have Great America
Speaker 1: First credentials. They don't think that the decision was made
Speaker 1: by Trump. They're holding out hope for Rick Grinnell and
Speaker 1: people inside Trump are older saying, well, it's not a
Speaker 1: done deal. And Amy King actually brought something up earlier
Speaker 1: this morning. She said, remember first summer around when Trump
Speaker 1: took Romney to dinner and everyone thought he was going
Speaker 1: to get a post and I was like, just kidding,
Speaker 1: kind of he does this, you know, with people that
Speaker 1: he went toe to toe with in the past.
Speaker 2: It'd be interesting to see what happens there. New York
Speaker 2: Judge one Mayor Sean has agreed to give Manhattan prosecutors
Speaker 2: and Trump's lawyers a week to figure out how to
Speaker 2: proceed in the hush money case now that Trump has
Speaker 2: been re elected. Of course, all of this was thrown
Speaker 2: into disarray when the Supreme Court decided that there are
Speaker 2: a lot of things that a president gets to enjoy
Speaker 2: immunity from while he is president. He or she and
Speaker 2: he's sentencing for the criminal conviction is in jeopardy. Jack
Speaker 2: Smith is now in talks with the Justice Department about
Speaker 2: how to end the federal case against Trump. The Georgia
Speaker 2: election subversion case continues to be delayed because of legal
Speaker 2: fights over the status of Fannie Willis. The Fulton County
Speaker 2: DA and the Trump appointed federal judge Aileen Cannon threw
Speaker 2: out the charges against Trump for mishandling those classified documents
Speaker 2: because of the incorrect appointment of Jack Smith in her
Speaker 2: legal opinion, the appointment of Jack Smith to even investigate
Speaker 2: that in the first place. So this was the latest.
Speaker 2: This decision today the latest in the victories that have
Speaker 2: basically wiped away any likelihood that he would face any
Speaker 2: legal repercussions after he was indicted four different times last year.
Speaker 2: Mershawn had been set to rule today on this motion
Speaker 2: to vacate his conviction on the thirty four counts of
Speaker 2: falsifying business records after the Supreme Court determined in June
Speaker 2: that he should receive and any president should receive, broad
Speaker 2: immunity for official acts during his time in office. The
Speaker 2: issue has successfully helped Trump twice delay his sentencing, and
Speaker 2: he's arguing that these charges should be dismissed at all,
Speaker 2: or at the least the conviction should be vacated because
Speaker 2: the DA's office was relying on evidence related to his
Speaker 2: official acts as president, which of course is what the
Speaker 2: Supreme Court said would be immune from prosecution.
Speaker 1: I have breaking news from the desk of Donald j. Trump,
Speaker 1: it's not about coronavirus. He has just announced that he
Speaker 1: will nominate this person to be the United States Ambassador
Speaker 1: to Israel, and he guesses.
Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders, why would you say that?
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Why would you say that, Joe Lieberman.
Speaker 1: Mike Huckaby, oh, former governor of Arkansas, will be the
Speaker 1: US Ambassador to Israel.
Speaker 2: Trump's at in a statement.
Speaker 1: Mike has been a great public servant, a governor, and
Speaker 1: leader in faith for many years. He loves Israel, the
Speaker 1: people of Israel, and likewise the people of Israel love him.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Sure, the people of Israel have Mike Huckaby top of mind.
Speaker 8: He always puts one extra sentence in there, Israel do
Speaker 8: not love Mike Huckaby.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry you have polling information on that.
Speaker 1: I mean, name can you name one person in power
Speaker 1: other than.
Speaker 2: And Yahoo in Israel? Not that he hasn't fired, I mean,
Speaker 2: and certainly.
Speaker 1: Not anybody down the wrong of Mike Huckabee.
Speaker 2: That's funny. That is funny. When we come back, we'll
Speaker 2: talk about the art of just dropping in, but also
Speaker 2: the issue of having one child. Were you an only child,
Speaker 2: did it affect your life? When did you figure out
Speaker 2: you weren't an only child. You can always leave us
Speaker 2: a talkback message on the iHeart app. Just hit that
Speaker 2: little button and it leaves us a message that comes
Speaker 2: in right into this computer, and we laugh at it
Speaker 2: before we play it. Don't swear, don't swear? Well, I
Speaker 2: mean you can. But come on, who's going to get
Speaker 2: in trouble around here these days? Yeah? But when now?
Speaker 2: When we say that no one comes to work, it's
Speaker 2: because no one works here.
Speaker 1: That's true. We have a staff meeting this afternoon. We
Speaker 1: think that there's gonna be six or seven people.
Speaker 2: There, depends if you leave earlier or not.
Speaker 1: I don't know the new people don't know my feeling
Speaker 1: about meetings.
Speaker 2: It'll be obvious. Will it be obvious? You keep it?
Speaker 2: You don't hide that very well? Ah, all right, you
Speaker 2: jangle your keys when they're like, okay, we'd like everybody
Speaker 2: to come in.
Speaker 1: Well, you started telling me I can't bring my keys
Speaker 1: to the meetings anymore.
Speaker 2: Can I start bringing in them again? Probably? Not yet.
Speaker 2: I would say, let's have one meeting without your keys. Okay. Fine.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Later on we're going to talk in Tuesday. The True
Speaker 2: Crime Tuesday segment comes up at close to the bottom
Speaker 2: of the hour. California governor Knew some traveling to the
Speaker 2: nation's capital this week. He's there to what he say
Speaker 2: protects California's policies from Trump. Following Trump's win in the
Speaker 2: White House race last week. The governor is trying to
Speaker 2: get five point two billion dollars reimbursement for emergency funding.
Speaker 2: He wants to update the Medicaid program, medical and other priorities.
Speaker 2: During his meetings with leaders in the Biden administration, he
Speaker 2: left yesterday's expected to come back tomorrow. He'll also meet
Speaker 2: with California's congressional representatives as well. Tomorrow also a significant
Speaker 2: day because that is when former president and President elect
Speaker 2: Trump is expected to sit down with Joe Biden. The
Speaker 2: current president invited Trump to the White House for the
Speaker 2: traditional sort of fun walk elect next to the Rose
Speaker 2: Garden kind of photo op.
Speaker 1: Because I know that you hold near and dear to
Speaker 1: your heart celebrity relationships.
Speaker 2: I have some bad news for you. Why you got
Speaker 2: it more bad news? Really seems like the only song
Speaker 2: that played in my head all day yesterday, really all day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jessica Simpson turns out the rumors are true. She
Speaker 1: is unhappy with her marriage to Eric Johnson. Two divorce
Speaker 1: lawyers have been contacted about this marriage with in the
Speaker 1: recent weeks.
Speaker 2: Who's Eric Johnson? He was a tight end for the
Speaker 2: forty nine ers?
Speaker 5: Was he?
Speaker 2: Okay? My heart is not? You didn't know who Jessica
Speaker 2: Simpson's husband was? I did not so crazy after Nick? Nick? Yeah,
Speaker 2: that guy I didn't follow her love life? Weird. Well,
Speaker 2: I just felt listen, if you can't make it work
Speaker 2: with Nick Lache, you're not going to make it work
Speaker 2: with anybody. Probably, It's a rule in my life.
Speaker 3: Garyan Shannon, I'd like your opinion on this one question.
Speaker 3: Do you think that our President Donald Trump will keep
Speaker 3: Eric Garcetti as ambassador in India?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a silly question. There's no current in bat Well.
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say no, but very few current ambassadors who
Speaker 2: will be the remaining on station. The ambassadors go out
Speaker 2: with the bathwater.
Speaker 1: Sorry for calling every everyone's attention to Joe Biden's bathwater.
Speaker 4: Oh what.
Speaker 2: I remember putting oatmeal in my bath water? Oh? So
Speaker 2: this article that we pointed out earlier about the coming
Speaker 2: rain of the only child, that more and more families
Speaker 2: are either choosing or are relegated to having just one child,
Speaker 2: and why that is many different reasons for a lot
Speaker 2: of people. Sometimes they start their families later, and biology
Speaker 2: doesn't work that well when you're later in life. Sometimes
Speaker 2: you just choose to have one. Sometimes you want more,
Speaker 2: but you can only have one.
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, I'm an only child and I was raised
Speaker 7: by a single mom, and I'm probably the most empathetic dude.
Speaker 7: I'm like a king Saposaurus. I'm too much empathy and
Speaker 7: sympathy for my own good. So it has nothing to
Speaker 7: do with the single child thing. Used a little bit
Speaker 7: of not giving a crab.
Speaker 2: Love you guys.
Speaker 1: I hear a cow or a cat in there? And
Speaker 1: what's a king seposaurus? Is that a dinosaur?
Speaker 2: I have no idea. I don't know. I need clarification, Harry, Hi, Shannon.
Speaker 9: I'm a mother of an only child, and I have
Speaker 9: to say she is no more spoiled than kids of
Speaker 9: her generation that have siblings. It's all about how you
Speaker 9: raise them and how you teach them, whether they're only
Speaker 9: children or a family of ten. I resent the only
Speaker 9: child spoiled syndrome because that falls back on the parents.
Speaker 2: That's a good point. I know a handful of people
Speaker 2: that were raised as only children, and I don't they
Speaker 2: never none of them fit that trope of being spoiled
Speaker 2: or unempathetic.
Speaker 10: Garry and Shannon.
Speaker 2: I'm an only child.
Speaker 10: I've always said that I was spoiled, but I was
Speaker 10: never a brat. I did spend a lot of time
Speaker 10: with adults, and so I learned how to talk to
Speaker 10: people a little bit better than some people that had
Speaker 10: lots of siblings. But my best friend was one of
Speaker 10: four and so and I was always included in their
Speaker 10: family activities as well. So only children are okay, They're
Speaker 10: just okay.
Speaker 1: The Spinosaurus is known as the king of the dinosaurs,
Speaker 1: the bulkiest carnivore to ever walk the earth.
Speaker 2: But he didn't say spinosaurus. He didn't. He said Cephasaurus.
Speaker 2: I think we'll check it.
Speaker 11: Hey, Shannon and Gary create talking about only kids. That
Speaker 11: was me sucked. Why to get blamed for everything? You
Speaker 11: have to clean everything, and you are the dumping ground
Speaker 11: for the parents emotional and other kind of stresses.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what I do?
Speaker 11: I have three kids, I hope it was worth it,
Speaker 11: because right now they kind of hate each other, love
Speaker 11: you guys each.
Speaker 2: Other for for a while. So you dump your your
Speaker 2: emotional stress on three kids instead of one. No, that's
Speaker 2: not true. They can share in that burden and.
Speaker 7: Probably the most empathetic dude, I like a king sapasaurus.
Speaker 8: And see, oh I get it, saposaurus like he sat
Speaker 8: king sasaurus.
Speaker 2: Okay, I see all right.
Speaker 4: I was an only child raised by a single mother,
Speaker 4: and so because she was working full time to support us,
Speaker 4: I was often you know, shipped around between households of
Speaker 4: friends and and I most definitely learned how to have
Speaker 4: you know, fake siblings. I guess you could call it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder that idea of a single parent, single child.
Speaker 2: There's a that is a unique bond, good or bad.
Speaker 2: It's a very unique bond that probably doesn't exist anywhere
Speaker 2: else because you, if you're you have to rely on
Speaker 2: that person to be a friend while they're being your
Speaker 2: child or parent. I mean, it's the only other person
Speaker 2: in your life, unless, like she says, there's another family. Hope.
Speaker 3: So, Gary and Channon, my mom read that book from
Speaker 3: doctor Spock, and she said, the only thing it was
Speaker 3: good for was spank.
Speaker 6: In my butt?
Speaker 2: Did it work?
Speaker 6: Hey?
Speaker 12: Gary and Shannon four kids in three years. Yes, there
Speaker 12: was a set of twins. The only bummer about it
Speaker 12: is all four of them were in college at one time,
Speaker 12: a big, huge boatload of money going out at one time.
Speaker 4: Happiest day of.
Speaker 12: Our lives is when the twins graduated. We felt like
Speaker 12: we got a pay raise. It could be worse, though.
Speaker 12: My cousin had thirteen. Wow, So don't say big families
Speaker 12: don't exist. Talk to the Catholics. They still do this.
Speaker 2: One of the guys I used to work with in Seattle,
Speaker 2: his kids were just preteens. I believe it was. He
Speaker 2: had a couple of kids. Yeah, then he had triplets.
Speaker 2: He had two kids, and he could see the horizon,
Speaker 2: he could see the eighteenth birthdays, and he had triplets.
Speaker 2: He went from two kids to five kids in the
Speaker 2: course of one That's a lot sperm.
Speaker 13: Yeah, guys, Rick and La Vista, we only had one son.
Speaker 13: Wanted to have others, but congenital cataracts runs in our family,
Speaker 13: including partial sight and complete blindness. So once we figured
Speaker 13: that out and knew that our son had the same thing,
Speaker 13: we just decided we did adopt, but never got around
Speaker 13: to it.
Speaker 2: Oh, that was it. That's kind of a sad story.
Speaker 2: Good morning Gary, Good morning Shanning. It's just Michael.
Speaker 5: I am an only child. I have the last half
Speaker 5: Irish descendant from my family tree, and I made myself
Speaker 5: a promise one day if I should ever get married,
Speaker 5: and I did that I was going to have at
Speaker 5: least two kids, because being an early child. These says
Speaker 5: all great, not necessarily all right, peace out.
Speaker 2: Thank you, peace out, May the road rise to meet
Speaker 2: you or whatever.
Speaker 1: Okay, do you hear about the guy in Wisconsin who
Speaker 1: faked his debt to get away from his family.
Speaker 2: I'm listening. I'll tell you how to guide we return.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Just sorry, I thought in rehearsal that you were going
Speaker 2: to now listen.
Speaker 1: It's been a trying time these days round here, and
Speaker 1: news is suffering.
Speaker 2: You can just oh. House Speaker Mike Johnson says Republicans
Speaker 2: are ready to deliver on President elect Trump's mandate. He
Speaker 2: said Republicans are not going to make the mistakes of
Speaker 2: the first term, and they'll be more prepared for a
Speaker 2: second term Trump White House. He was on the steps
Speaker 2: of the capital today with members of his House Republican
Speaker 2: leadership team. He said that there will be no time
Speaker 2: wasted before work on the America First agenda of securing
Speaker 2: the border and other priorities in what he says will
Speaker 2: be he expects to be a unified government.
Speaker 1: Trump has formally announced another decision here another selection, Representative
Speaker 1: Mike Waltz, to join his administration as National Security Advisor.
Speaker 1: First green Beret who have been elected to Congress previously
Speaker 1: served in the White House and Pentagon.
Speaker 2: We saw Wall Street start in the positive note for
Speaker 2: once again after the election that's been skyrocketing. The Dow
Speaker 2: is currently down about two hundred and forty five points,
Speaker 2: but still over the forty four thousand mark. S and
Speaker 2: P five hundred his slid just a tiny bit, and
Speaker 2: the Nasdaq is barely into positive territory right now as well.
Speaker 2: I guess if you wanted to get away, you know, well,
Speaker 2: he told you that there's a cruise line that's offering
Speaker 2: a four year cruise for people to get out so
Speaker 2: that they can come back and you know, skip forward,
Speaker 2: I think is what it's called. So you miss four
Speaker 2: years of a Trump presidency, okay, And if you think
Speaker 2: a cruise is going to be better than that.
Speaker 1: Well, sometimes you don't want to get away from a president.
Speaker 2: You want to get away from your family.
Speaker 1: And that is exactly the case for a guy by
Speaker 1: the name of Ryan Borgwart, forty four year old husband
Speaker 1: and father of three in Wisconsin, goes kayaking for the
Speaker 1: day on August twelfth and never comes home. Deputies went
Speaker 1: to Green Lake where Ryan had set to go out fishing.
Speaker 1: They found his van, They found his trailer near the
Speaker 1: boat launch. After launching a boat in the water, the
Speaker 1: deputies discovered a capsized kayak and a light vest in
Speaker 1: the deepest part of the lake, so they started s
Speaker 1: fisherman casting along the bottom of the lake pulled up
Speaker 1: a fishing rod which was confirmed to be Ryan's. His
Speaker 1: wife confirmed that that was his fishing pole, and then
Speaker 1: later that day someone found Ryan's tackle box. It had
Speaker 1: his keys, hiss, his license, and his wallet.
Speaker 2: Well, that means Ryan Borgwart must have died except for
Speaker 2: one problem. What was the problem? No body.
Speaker 1: They spent months scouring the lake to find the body.
Speaker 1: They used sonar to go down two hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: feet in some spots. They flew drones around the massive
Speaker 1: lake to find him. From afar, they brought in cadaver dogs,
Speaker 1: hoping the dogs would find the body.
Speaker 2: Keith Kormakan is a director of an organization that helps
Speaker 2: authorities find the bodies of drowning victims, and approached the
Speaker 2: sheriff after scouring the lake in a boat for twenty
Speaker 2: eight days, and he said he wasn't going to be
Speaker 2: giving up. He had requested some state of the art
Speaker 2: sonar equipment, although it was going to take a while
Speaker 2: for them to arrive.
Speaker 11: Now.
Speaker 2: All this happened in mid August. On October seventh, the
Speaker 2: sheriff told his investigators they needed to try something else,
Speaker 2: so they started digging into Ryan Borgwart's background and soon
Speaker 2: discovered the Canadian authorities had run his name after he disappeared.
Speaker 1: They began to suspect this was no longer a case
Speaker 1: of accidental drowning, but a sophisticated fraud. The FBI was
Speaker 1: brought in and a digital forensics analyst from the States
Speaker 1: Justice Department searched Ryan's laptop.
Speaker 2: What did they find on the laptop?
Speaker 1: They discovered that Ryan had been communicating with a woman
Speaker 1: in Huzbekistan.
Speaker 2: It was Bekistani woman.
Speaker 1: He had made inquiries about moving money to a foreign bank.
Speaker 1: He allegedly replaced the hard drive on laptop before the
Speaker 1: kayaking trip.
Speaker 2: Oh, don't forget. He had also.
Speaker 1: Taken out a three hundred and seventy five thousand dollars
Speaker 1: life insurance policy.
Speaker 2: Aha. Well, the sheriff came to the conclusion that there
Speaker 2: was no body. Because there was no body, investigators figured
Speaker 2: out that he'd spent months meticulously secretly putting into place
Speaker 2: the pieces that he needed to stage his own death
Speaker 2: and abandoned his nasty old family for a new life.
Speaker 3: Hmmm.
Speaker 2: Interesting.
Speaker 1: Do you think it was a woman that was helping
Speaker 1: him secure the foreign bank transaction or was this a
Speaker 1: woman that he was having sexy time with?
Speaker 2: How do you hook up with a woman from Uzbekistan?
Speaker 2: Probably only the same old fashioned way. They're built much
Speaker 2: like other humans. What do you mean, well, I mean,
Speaker 2: how did how was he to in the first place? Right? Apparently?
Speaker 1: Oh, there's a love habibi and it's you can sign
Speaker 1: up on lovehabebee dot com and you can connect with
Speaker 1: people from using Bekistan looking for love. Apparently it's a
Speaker 1: thing to marry Usbek woman, Uzbekistan.
Speaker 2: The sheriff said that the family. Ryan Borgwart's family is
Speaker 2: doing relatively well, he said, doing rather well, three kids.
Speaker 2: He's got two sons in high school and a daughter
Speaker 2: in's at grade school. Shocked to hear what investigators think
Speaker 2: their father did to fake his death, something that their
Speaker 2: mother has known for weeks as she was helping authorities,
Speaker 2: he said, I put a lot on her shoulders, the
Speaker 2: sheriff said, suggesting that he had to tell them the wife, Hey,
Speaker 2: we think he's faking it, but we can't. You can't
Speaker 2: tell your kids yet. Authority is still investigating. They'll consider
Speaker 2: what criminal charges might be foul. Doesn't know where Ryan
Speaker 2: Borgwart is, but nevertheless has a message for him, the
Speaker 2: sheriff said, at Ryan, if you are viewing this, I
Speaker 2: plead that you contact us or contact your family. We
Speaker 2: understand that things can happen, but there's a family that
Speaker 2: wants their daddy back. After of course he goes to
Speaker 2: jail for a certain of one very sad for fraud
Speaker 2: and things like that. You've fantasized about just leaving, right,
Speaker 2: haven't you not? To Uzbekistan. Well, no, no, no, I
Speaker 2: don't think you don't have to know anything about Uzbekistan.
Speaker 2: I think he's just somewhere in Canada trying to find
Speaker 2: a flight, perhaps to Uzbekistan.
Speaker 1: Me leaving, I get to do whatever I want all
Speaker 1: the time back. This guy's got three kids. He's probably
Speaker 1: scheduled into a corner. Uh, he's got something to fake his.
Speaker 2: Death for freedom. Freedom, It's called freedom. But how free
Speaker 2: are you if you still remember you've got three kids
Speaker 2: that you left behind.
Speaker 1: I don't know what those kids do to deserve it.
Speaker 1: But if you're seeking freedom, you don't go to Uzbekistan. No, No,
Speaker 1: probably not. But they apparently have wonderful food there.
Speaker 2: Oh. Really, you've never been to Uzbekistan. That's a surprise.
Speaker 2: You've been to a lot of places. Well, the year
Speaker 2: is young. Yes, we still have Christmas in Uzbekistan. Is
Speaker 2: that what you're looking for? They've got plov. That's the
Speaker 2: national dish. That sounds delightful. Plov sounds like an accident.
Speaker 2: Do you want to know about plov?
Speaker 1: It's served at weddings and festivals other special occasions.
Speaker 2: It is a.
Speaker 1: Nutritious rice pilaf that is made by sauteing meat, onions, carrots,
Speaker 1: and oil or fat that adding rice or water and
Speaker 1: spices like kumen, cornder, temrick.
Speaker 2: That sounds great. They can use variety of meat, lamb, beef, chicken.
Speaker 2: I'll take all of those. Please, Yes.
Speaker 1: Listen to man Tea Manty's a popular dish in Uzbek cuisine.
Speaker 1: It's little dumplings with ground meat and un and various seasonings.
Speaker 1: The rappers are generally made from simple dough of flour
Speaker 1: and water and sometimes eggs. So just like basically like
Speaker 1: Chinese dumplings, but Oozbek dumplings.
Speaker 2: That sounds delightful. I'm gonna go to Uzbekistan.
Speaker 1: And then Lagman. Lagman has hand pulled noodles that are
Speaker 1: cooked in a savory broth. You know what, This stuff
Speaker 1: all looks really good. Maybe I'm just hungry. Oh yeah,
