WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839 AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand 3 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:07.240 on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:12.199 Well, let's start swamp watch. Swamp is horrible, so government 5 00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:12.960 doesn't work? 6 00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:16.839 Come man, make It's like a reality TV show. 7 00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:19.839 Was a bad noos, always a pleasure to be anywhere 8 00:00:19.839 --> 00:00:20.839 from Washington, DC. 9 00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:25.039 Hey, Joe, A town hall too, clearly built on a 10 00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.719 swamp and in so many ways still a swamp. 11 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.120 I have to watch it, malarkey, he said, drained the swamp. 12 00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:33.039 I said, oh, that's so he keepph. 13 00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:37.679 You know the thing. Well, Kamala Harris continues to enjoy 14 00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:41.159 a bounds in favorability when it comes to her ratings. 15 00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.000 There was an ABC News IPSOS poll released yesterday. It 16 00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:49.119 shows that her favorability rating has jumped to forty three percent, 17 00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:52.840 with an unfavorability rating of forty two percent. 18 00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.280 Oh well, the net of one. That's probably not awful. 19 00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.560 A week ago, though, her favorability rating was at thirty five, 20 00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:03.359 so she picked up eight percentage points in that regard. 21 00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:06.120 There was also a poll that came out from Wall 22 00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:08.760 Street Journal today. I heard somebody refer to what we 23 00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:11.920 do here we talk about polls, the polar coaster that. 24 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:12.760 We're about to be on. 25 00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:14.239 No, we're not doing that. 26 00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:18.799 Okay, This race between Harris and Trump is tighter than 27 00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:21.959 it was than it was with Biden involved. The former 28 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:26.040 president leads the current vice president forty nine to forty 29 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.920 seven if it's just a two person matchup, again from 30 00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:31.879 the Wall Street Journal, that is within that margin of 31 00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:34.079 era of plus or minus three point one percentage points. 32 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.359 Trump actually had a six point lead over Biden just 33 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.480 before Biden got out of the race. If the ballot 34 00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:45.599 includes third party and independent candidates Robert Kennedy, Jill Stein, 35 00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.000 those people, Harris gets forty five percent, Trump gets forty 36 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.239 four percent. In fact, Kennedy has got just four percent 37 00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:56.120 in that poll, and then five percent they say still undecided. 38 00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:59.680 So we I think all the pollsters know that this 39 00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:05.200 phase this week that we've seen is going to be 40 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:12.719 a significant bump for her, specifically because of just the 41 00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:16.120 notoriety about it. That same Wall Street Journal poll says 42 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:20.159 that eighty one percent of voters who support Kamala Harris 43 00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:24.159 say they are very enthusiastic to vote for her, compared 44 00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:27.560 to thirty seven percent who said they were enthusiastic to 45 00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:28.479 vote for Joe Biden. 46 00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.919 I'm still floored by this successful rollout, and I'm still 47 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:35.000 floored that all the Democrats fell in line behind her. 48 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.879 The organization, the cohesion is not something that I would 49 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:46.560 have forecast for this candidate or this party. I I 50 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:47.840 don't know if it's an illusion. 51 00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:50.400 I mean, because of course it's an illusion, because it 52 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:52.520 almost does. I think you're right. It seems like it's 53 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:53.120 a little bit. 54 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:57.599 Too too pretty to be true, Like how do you 55 00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:03.039 get everyone within twenty four hours to commit to this? 56 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:04.599 Yeah, every one. 57 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.400 It's going to be quite interesting at the convention in Chicago. 58 00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:11.759 I still maintain that they are going to use this 59 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:15.000 as their coming out party. All the Democrats, the big 60 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:18.240 names that came forward and endorsed her right away. They 61 00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:20.599 want a big role, they want a national audience, they 62 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.719 want to raise their profile, and they're going to use 63 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:26.280 the convention to do it. Because everybody's now just running 64 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:27.520 for twenty twenty eight. 65 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:33.039 This But if she's the president. 66 00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:34.800 Do you think that's going to happen? 67 00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:35.400 I don't know. 68 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.280 I don't know either. I mean, my temperature has changed 69 00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:42.919 completely from when Biden was just circling the drain. Excuse me, 70 00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.159 that's not kind, but you know what I mean, it's 71 00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:49.000 just a figure of speech. When his candidacy, shall we say, 72 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.280 was circling the drain, there was just very low. There 73 00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.919 was just no chance that Trump wasn't going to win. 74 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.199 There's just no chance that he was not going to win. Right, 75 00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:01.039 the race was his, the presidency was his, and then 76 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.000 all of a sudden, Biden drops out and the temperature 77 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:07.680 changed by thirty degrees. I mean, she came out swinging. 78 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:10.800 She sounded good, she sounded I mean again, the bar 79 00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.400 was very, very low with what we were getting from Biden. 80 00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:17.639 But even from her, even if you go, what if 81 00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:19.480 you look at her comments in the past has been 82 00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.399 word salid and she came out in her first remarks 83 00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:23.240 and she was succinct. 84 00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.079 She was on task. Part of it is teleprompter. I 85 00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.519 mean that makes a difference for her. I think she 86 00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.399 can do a very good points. She can deliver a 87 00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:32.720 teleprompter speech. But I wonder if this is a situation 88 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:35.920 where yes, there's excitement behind it. But once we get 89 00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:38.560 to know her, or we I mean we in California 90 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.000 have known her very well for the last two decades, 91 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:45.360 but once the rest of the country, those independent, moderate voters, 92 00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:47.240 once they get to know her, is this something where 93 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.079 they kind of like, well, I thought it was something different. 94 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.120 It's like if you have a crush, get to know 95 00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:53.720 them and your crush will go away. 96 00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.240 Well, Sir Sarah Palin as an example, I mean, right, 97 00:04:56.319 --> 00:05:00.319 once we learned who she was, she was not the 98 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:04.439 sharpest tool in the political shits not she was likable. 99 00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:06.959 And this is kind of what I landed on this weekend. 100 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.399 Am I thinking about Kamala in her past week? Is 101 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.720 I like her? She's likable to me right now. 102 00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:17.160 I do not agree with eighty percent of the things 103 00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.560 that she has said, though, when it comes to policies 104 00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:21.800 and the way she wants this country to move forward. 105 00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:26.000 I mean, she is more socialist than Bernie Sanders, and 106 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.199 people don't and nobody knows that yet because of the optics. 107 00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:32.199 And she looks really pretty and she can talk about 108 00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:35.199 serious things very well with that smile, and she's going 109 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.920 after Trump and I know his type and I'm the prosecutor, 110 00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.240 and it all sounds really great, But what is she 111 00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:42.920 going to mean for your life? That's what you need 112 00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:46.360 to start digging into stories that we are following the 113 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.279 Park Fire. This is the big, huge one that's burning 114 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.360 up in northern California, Butte Plumus Shasta in t Hama 115 00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:55.600 Counties the largest wildfire of the year by far, and 116 00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:59.600 now the seventh largest fire in state history. It's at 117 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:03.279 three one hundred and sixty eight thousand acres right now, 118 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:05.800 it's about twelve percent contained. They were able to get 119 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:08.079 some more containment line around it over the weekend because 120 00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.160 things said cooled down at least a little bit. The 121 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.680 Burrell Fire burning in Kern County tore through the little 122 00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:19.079 historic mining town of Havila. It started that fire start 123 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.759 in the Kern River Canyon on Wednesday and then spread 124 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:24.399 through that little town Friday night and took out almost 125 00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:28.360 every single building in the entire town. Tomorrow, the Dodgers 126 00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:30.800 take on the Padres in San Diego with first pitch 127 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.079 at six forty. Listen to every play of every Dodgers 128 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:36.959 game on AM five seventy LA and stream all the 129 00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:41.439 games NHD on the iHeartRadio app Keyword AM five seventy 130 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:44.600 LA Sports powered by LA Care for all of LA. 131 00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:46.720 So one of the big things that's going on today 132 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:50.120 is that President Biden is making his way down to 133 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:53.360 the LBJ Library in Austin, Texas. He's going to make 134 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:57.680 an announcement regarding the Supreme Court. He wrote out a 135 00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:00.680 an op ed piece or somebody did put his name 136 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.319 on it about the changes that he wants to see 137 00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:08.040 in the nation's highest court. The first thing that they 138 00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:13.079 it's a three point plan that he's got. He said, 139 00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:16.680 no immunity for crimes a former president commits in office. 140 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:21.480 He said that the president's power is limited and that 141 00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.600 must ultimately reside with the people. So he's calling for 142 00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:28.360 a constitutional amendment that makes it clear that no president 143 00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:31.800 or anyone is above the law or immune from prosecution 144 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:35.600 for crimes committed while in office. It would state, the 145 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:39.279 amendment would that the Constitution does not confer any immunity 146 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:42.519 from federal criminal indictment, trial, conviction, or sentencing by virtue 147 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:47.160 of previously serving as president. Second thing is term limits 148 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.680 for Supreme Court justices. I've seen the number eighteen years. 149 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:52.959 They're talking about eighteen years for a term. 150 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:56.920 Oh and no gifts, no trips. Yeah, in full disclosure, 151 00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:02.959 full transparency. The optics surrounding that Clarence Thomas stuff were horrific. 152 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.920 That would be this binding code of conduct in the 153 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:10.879 Supreme Court that supposedly we the people, through Congress, would 154 00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:15.360 be able to implement. Here was an opinion on this 155 00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:19.839 from a former assistant Deputy Attorney General guy named John Yuary. 156 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:22.360 No, that's not it. This one that didn't sound like John. 157 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:23.639 That wasn't John at all. 158 00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:26.079 Now Biden and Harris are going to say, oh, Congress, 159 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:28.680 cham just pass it by statute. But really, if you 160 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.639 want to be changing the term moments of justices of 161 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:34.720 the Supreme Court, which in the Constitution are granted for life, 162 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.639 I think you need to mend the constitution. That requires 163 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:40.799 two thirds of the Congress and three quarters of the 164 00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:45.039 state legislatures. It takes years and years to get constitutional 165 00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:45.720 amendments through that. 166 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:49.120 Yeah, I mean that I think is probably the biggest hill. 167 00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:52.679 There are people who say that these passed by Congress 168 00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:58.679 as laws would simply be unconstitutional. You can change the constitution, 169 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:03.440 but that is a very slow, long process for a 170 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:04.240 very good reason. 171 00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:09.519 So New Hampshire Governor Christian Unu yesterday dismissed Trump's claim 172 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.399 that people won't have to vote anymore if they elect 173 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:13.159 him as. 174 00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:17.919 As president. This was what Trump said Friday night, Christians, 175 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:24.600 get out and vote, just this time, Justice time. You 176 00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:27.240 won't have to do it anymore. Four more years. 177 00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:31.360 You know what, It'll be fixed. It'll be fine to 178 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:33.159 vote anymore, My beautiful Christians. 179 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.120 I love you Christians. I'm a Christian. 180 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:36.279 I love you. 181 00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:38.519 Get out. You gotta get out and vote. 182 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:44.120 Chris and Martha Raddits asked Christian governor, what. 183 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:45.080 The heck did he mean there? 184 00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:49.279 Well, I think I think that was a classic trump ism, 185 00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.360 if you will, I think you're just trying to make 186 00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:51.960 the point. 187 00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:53.080 That this stuff can be fixed. 188 00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:56.600 You know, obviously it's we want everybody to vote in 189 00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:57.480 all elections. 190 00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:01.120 But I think he was just trying to make a hyperbolic. 191 00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:02.799 Point that it can be fixed as long as he 192 00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:04.120 gets back into office and all that. 193 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:07.360 But you know, classic Trump right there. I love that line. 194 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:08.320 Classic Trump. 195 00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:10.200 Yeah, but we don't know what he meant. Did he 196 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:12.120 mean to say it? Did he stumble into that? And 197 00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:14.240 now it's caused controversy, So he's going to let it 198 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:16.720 rye and people are saying, do you want to have 199 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.080 a president where you have to translate everything that they're 200 00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:21.879 saying and what does it really mean? No? 201 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:25.559 But I also don't want a president who sleeps? Uh, 202 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:29.000 who sleeps twenty hours a day?

But but that was an interview 217 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:20.639 that we milked for a very long time. 218 00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:24.639 You could argue that our trajectory went up after that 219 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:26.519 and his fell precipitous. 220 00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:29.279 It was just such a perfect moment because it was like, 221 00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:32.120 let me see your phone, what's on your phone?

That was his shot because he was 238 00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:17.240 like leaning back looking at the sign that's above us 239 00:12:17.759 --> 00:12:20.080 so that people could see where we're from, big salmon 240 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:23.320 colored pants, and he just wanted to feed him something 241 00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:26.519 that wasn't Vegan. Sorry, Debra, you have a great figure, 242 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:28.840 but men do not need to have a great figure 243 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.600 like that. He was. He was so thin and like 244 00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:35.639 just kind of malnourished, and he did. 245 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:38.240 This thing where I mean he was persona on Grada. 246 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:41.360 Then this was before the pictures. 247 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.639 Came, yeah, exactly, and nobody wanted to be around him, 248 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.720 and he was literally walking around by himself, at the 249 00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:47.799 convention hall because. 250 00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:48.919 Everyone knew who he was. 251 00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:49.840 Everyone knew he. 252 00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:50.960 Was just a garbage human. 253 00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:54.279 But we just and the thing was we he he 254 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:57.240 couldn't wait to get past us, like he couldn't wait. 255 00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:59.200 He's just looking over our shoulders at who else he 256 00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:00.720 might be able to talk to later on. 257 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:02.960 I don't know. We had fun at those conventions. 258 00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:03.320 We did. 259 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:04.960 We talked to Lester Hoole. 260 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:09.320 We talked to David Muir, We talked to Dan Dan Rather, 261 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:14.639 We talked to uh and Antonio Vierragosa. 262 00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:18.039 We talked to John Bolton, talked to John Bolton, Jesse Jackson. 263 00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:20.840 Oh yeah, we we got it.

We hadn't really found our footing. Now, 270 00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:41.080 I mean, look out, we are going to really embarrass 271 00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:41.519 some people. 272 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:45.159 I think, I hope it's just not about ourselves. 273 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:48.720 I was going to play Olympic music and I totally 274 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:51.679 blew it.

I don't remember what 292 00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:42.960 it was. It was really well said, though basically I'm 293 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:48.960 a dumb human. That is telling email M L E. 294 00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:54.639 For two hundred dollars. A towering figure in nineteenth century engineering, 295 00:14:54.720 --> 00:15:00.559 this Frenchman was known as the Magician of Iron.

This hurts me because I 307 00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:49.279 agree with you on one point. It should not have 308 00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:55.440 caused him to be to be sent maybe an apology exactly, Oh, the. 309 00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:58.480 Women just finishing off. You know, women alike hang it 310 00:15:58.519 --> 00:15:59.919 around the make up. 311 00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:05.120 Well, okay, so he says, no. 312 00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:07.879 What women are like hanging around and doing the makeup? 313 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:10.480 You know what women are like hanging around doing the makeup, 314 00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:12.840 and the woman that's doing the play by play with 315 00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:16.799 him with a smile on her face. 316 00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:17.840 That's outrageous. 317 00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:23.919 Ball as I mentioned, are doing that as well. 318 00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:26.360 Yeah, that was dumb. That was a dumb thing to say. 319 00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:31.200 But as I mentioned at the top of the show, 320 00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:34.960 I watched the Simone Biles documentary on Netflix. Excellent, give it, 321 00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:38.720 give it a go, just two episodes. There's a lot 322 00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:41.720 of time when she's not being the number one gymnast 323 00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:45.320 in history where she is hanging around doing her makeup. 324 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.600 Yes, that's what That's a real statement. 325 00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.559 That is not an Outlanda's statement to make it's not rude, 326 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:55.399 it's not putting them down, it's not saying. In fact, 327 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:59.039 it's quite the opposite, isn't it. Are you insinuating that 328 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:03.120 female athletes are not girly girls who like to do 329 00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:06.359 their makeup, because they are some of the most girly 330 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:10.640 girls I know are the best athletes, some of them. 331 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:12.480 Yeah, but that's the thing. 332 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:15.119 It's like, I don't know, it just it rubs me 333 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:17.519 the wrong way that people are in an uproar over 334 00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:19.119 this and that the guy was sent home. 335 00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:21.519 I'm going to use what I call the Matt Damon 336 00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:26.960 rule here, which is, if someone says something that's legitimately sexist, yeah, 337 00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:29.039 it's probably time to take them off the air. Or 338 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:33.519 if it rises to the level of actually offending somebody, 339 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:35.519 even then there's got to be a little bit more 340 00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:38.160 meat to it than women do their makeup. 341 00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:42.440 One of my best friends played D one basketball and 342 00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:47.799 is the go to person for doing her makeup. I 343 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:50.720 get all my advice from her. She helps me. She's 344 00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:54.480 like knows everything about the makeup. Why because when you're 345 00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:57.519 an athlete, you spend a lot of downtime, you have 346 00:17:57.559 --> 00:17:59.079 a lot of downtime. You have a lot of time 347 00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:01.240 when you're not practicing saying, and you're not working out, 348 00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:03.799 you're not in a gym, and you're at home, and 349 00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:05.720 there's really not a lot to do, and you got 350 00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:07.039 to look good if you're going to hit that three 351 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:10.440 from the corner. You know, girls like makeup. Guys buy shoes. 352 00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:12.880 It's that kind of a thing. Guys buy shoes. Yeah, 353 00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:15.000 where did that come from? Male athletes are really big 354 00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:15.960 into the shoes. 355 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:17.559 All right, I see that. Well, I mean you. 356 00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:20.559 Figured that that's one of the tools of the trade 357 00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:23.000 for a lot of the guys is the shoes, and 358 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:25.680 that's it's a fashion shoes, not the shoes. I know 359 00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:27.759 that part, but I'm just saying that that problem. I mean, 360 00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:32.599 think of basketball players, that's a massive poor part of 361 00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:35.440 of their sport is that to have the right shoes 362 00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:38.599 on a bunch of stuff that's going on today at 363 00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:45.480 the Olympics, archery, canoe slalom, artistic gymnastics, judo sal that 364 00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.279 that event I think is uh, it's lost a little 365 00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:49.920 bit for me because I was watching some of the 366 00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:53.240 kayak stuff and they do it in such a sanitized 367 00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:58.440 concrete channel that it does not ring true to me. 368 00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:01.759 I mean they've there's nowhere in all of France that 369 00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:06.039 they could set up something on an actual river and 370 00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:06.920 do it that way. 371 00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:08.640 But what would be. 372 00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:12.279 Your sport aside from swimming? I know you were a professional, 373 00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:14.440 semi professional swimmer in high. 374 00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:17.759 School, semi. The only one who paid me was my coach. 375 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:21.079 Why was your coach giving you money as a young boy? 376 00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:22.400 I don't know. 377 00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:28.960 You have some questionable relationships in your past, highly questionable. 378 00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:33.920 It wasn't a lot of money. What was what were you? 379 00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:36.799 What was the question? Again, what would my sport be? 380 00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:39.960 That question flew out the window as soon as I 381 00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:42.440 found out you were getting money from a grown man 382 00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:43.079 as a boy. 383 00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:53.640 I I don't know. I don't know artistic gymnastics, not 384 00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:54.119 at all. 385 00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:57.559 I like the trampoline. That's not even like a gymnastics thing. 386 00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:00.559 It's a guy on a trampoline. Is that a that's 387 00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:01.279 a real sport? 388 00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:03.599 Really? Yes? Oh you could do that. 389 00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:07.160 I could fall. I could do that and fall. But 390 00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:10.359 they you know, the skateboarding is this year, they break dancing. 391 00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:12.720 Haven't seen any of that yet. I watched table tennis 392 00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:13.279 the other day. 393 00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:14.119 That is. 394 00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:16.640 Those guys are a lot of time on your hands. 395 00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:19.680 This weekend, my couch and I became very well acquainted. 396 00:20:20.039 --> 00:20:22.519 Yeah, why don't you go down to the home depot 397 00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:24.279 get yourself something nice. 398 00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:26.000 I was going to the last time I did. 399 00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:27.599 I took my dog with me to get it out, 400 00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:31.000 try to socialize it a little bit, and a woman scolded. 401 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:34.000
