Snack 8 00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:26.320 wraps were introduced in two thousand and six, but pulled 9 00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:30.559 about ten years later because they were ready. They were 10 00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.880 too complicated for the kitchen to prepare. 11 00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:37.880 So I don't know if they've changed. 12 00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:44.200 The building of a McDonald's snack rap, but supposedly they'll 13 00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:47.560 be coming back in July, so you can fill that 14 00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:49.920 snack rap shaped hole in your heart. 15 00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:52.759 Hi, Gary and Shannon Shannon.

He has slammed the 28 00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:31.840 President's Big Beautiful Bill making its way through the Senate 29 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:38.480 now as a disgusting abomination. Okay, that's a lot different 30 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.319 than what he was saying last week. Elon Musk wrote 31 00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:43.959 on his social media platform Twitter, X whatever you want 32 00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:46.560 to call it. Quote, I'm sorry, but I just can't 33 00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:51.280 stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork filled congressional spending 34 00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:55.920 bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted 35 00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.280 for it. You know you did wrong, You know it. 36 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.000 He went on to criticize the bill for setting up 37 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:05.879 Congress to increase the already gigantic budget deficit to two 38 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:12.840 point five trillion and put a crushingly unsustainable debt on Americans. 39 00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:18.319 So I suppose it's better that he did that after 40 00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:22.159 the President wished him bid him adieu from the White House. 41 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.639 Yes last week, so not good. 42 00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:32.159 President Trump, speaking of, is threatening California again, following the 43 00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:36.199 transgender athlete from Yuupa High Valley High School competing in 44 00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:40.080 the state track and field event last week in Clovis. 45 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:44.039 President Trump posted today on social media that Gavin Newsom 46 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:48.639 fully understands large scale finds will it will be imposed. 47 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:50.960 No idea what that means. 48 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:51.520 I don't know. 49 00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:55.039 The President doesn't have the ability to find a state 50 00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:57.120 for something like this, so. 51 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:00.159 I don't know what the plan is we do, you know? 52 00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:03.879 The Department of Justice has opened its investigation to determine 53 00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.680 if the state law that allows transgender athletes, the one 54 00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:10.240 that was signed by Jerry Brown to compete in female 55 00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:14.240 sports teams at California schools, violates federal Title nine civil 56 00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.560 rights law that potentially could be where they see fines, 57 00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:22.360 but not just from the President. The Olympics got a new, big, 58 00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:27.240 huge sponsor. Team USA LA twenty eight and Honda have 59 00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:31.199 announced a new major sponsorship. The terms of the deal 60 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:36.000 not disclosed, but it looks like this level of sponsorship 61 00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:41.080 starts at about two hundred million dollars. This deal fills 62 00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.319 the hole for the automotive category for the Olympics for 63 00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.520 LA twenty eight, considered one of the most most important 64 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.439 when it comes to the Olympics. Toyota had been the 65 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:53.439 auto sponsor they did not renew their deal after twenty 66 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:57.639 twenty four. In terms of the other massive, massive, big name, 67 00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:02.599 top tier sponsors you have of Delta and Comcast for 68 00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:07.120 LA twenty eight, the CEO of US Olympic and Paralympic Properties, 69 00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:10.159 John Slusher, says the new deal brings the operation in 70 00:04:10.240 --> 00:04:13.240 more than a billion and a half in sponsorship sales. 71 00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:16.279 The ultimate goal would be two and a half billion. 72 00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.680 The money in the Olympics continues to be an issue 73 00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:24.279 as well for LA workers. Hotel and airport workers are 74 00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:27.879 rallying at LA City Hall today to announce a campaign 75 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:33.600 to defend the recently approved minimum wage increase. Members of 76 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:38.160 the Tourism Workers Rising Coalition, lobbied for this thirty dollars 77 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:42.600 minimum wage, will host a news conference alongside City Council 78 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.079 members as well as Von Wheeler, the president of the 79 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:49.519 La County Federation of Labor. These are room attendants and 80 00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:55.879 cooks and dishwashers, airline catering, airport workers that will eventually 81 00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:00.000 get about thirty bucks an hour by July twenty twenty eight, 82 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:05.240 just in time for the twenty eight Olympics. The companies 83 00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:08.480 that would have to be paying those have come together 84 00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:12.040 and they have decided that they want to put this 85 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.680 thing on the ballot, and that group has until June 86 00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.079 thirtieth to get ninety three thousand signatures from registered voters 87 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:22.120 in LA to qualify for the June twenty sixth ballot 88 00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:25.120 to try to put the clamp down on all of this. 89 00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:29.079 Officials at the US Embassy and consulates in Mexico have 90 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:34.000 confirmed several reports of Americans being kidnapped by people they 91 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:37.120 met on a dating app. This was a security alert 92 00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:40.519 that came out just yesterday. Authorities at the consulate in 93 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.920 Guadalajara issued a warning about all the incidents, all of 94 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.319 them occurring in recent months in the areas of Portavarda 95 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:51.279 and Nuevo Nare Nayarit. They said, victims in their families 96 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:53.800 in the US have at times been extorted for large 97 00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.759 sums of money to secure their release. Please be aware 98 00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:58.720 that this type of violence is not limited to one 99 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:03.600 geographic area. Travelers should use caution. They didn't name any 100 00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:06.160 of the specific dating apps, but they said this be 101 00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:11.600 cautious if using dating apps in Mexico. Yeah, need only 102 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:15.000 in public places, avoid isolated locations, tell family and friends 103 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:17.279 where you're going, and if something doesn't feel right. 104 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:18.800 Trust your gut. 105 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:24.040 Great news for fans of the Wayfarer's Chapel, that historic 106 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.079 glass structure in Rancho Palace Verdes. They say it may 107 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.439 have found a new home about a mile west of 108 00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:33.600 its original site. RPV has been falling into the ocean basically, 109 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:39.959 and this has compromised where Wayfarer's Chapel is, So they're 110 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.680 saying the potential new location is that the old Battery 111 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:45.759 Barnes Military site, which would be right next to OURBV. 112 00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:46.399 City Hall. 113 00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:49.600 Chapel had to close February of last year because the 114 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.920 land underneath it was shifting, so it was taken apart 115 00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:56.360 and basically put into storage in twenty twenty four. Now 116 00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:58.480 they're saying that they'll be able to put it back 117 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:02.120 up hopefully again at the old Battery Barnes military site 118 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:03.120 next to the City Hall. 119 00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.000 I mentioned snackraps. Snack wraps are coming back. 120 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:10.639 It looks like on July tenth, that is the expectation 121 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.279 for you to put the snack wraps back into your 122 00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:16.279 face hole. And if you're wondering whatever happened to all 123 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:21.399 of it, they said that they couldn't they couldn't make 124 00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:27.199 them efficiently in the McDonald's kitchen, but now they can, 125 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:29.800 I suppose, and if you're into the fast food world, 126 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:33.720 well how about this. We've seen McDonald's and Taco Bell 127 00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:38.839 and Burger Kings operate inside of stores and now Wienerschnitzel. 128 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.519 Walmart is turning to smaller chains to move into open 129 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:45.360 spaces at the front of their stores, including a newly 130 00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:49.040 announced partnership with the iconic hot Dog franchise. They'll be 131 00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:57.800 opening restaurants in six Walmart locations this year Bakersfield, Tempe, Colorado, Springs, Alamgordo, Reno, 132 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.920 and Puallup, Washington. All of those Walmarts are going to 133 00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:06.319 be getting their new Wiener Schnitzels at some point. Looking 134 00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:09.480 to expand, they said their non traditional venues, with the 135 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:15.040 company actively pursuing sites like airports, military bases, theme parks, 136 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:20.120 food courts, and convenience stores. The Wiener Schnitzel people say 137 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:23.040 that allows them to modernize their footprint, being bring their 138 00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:26.199 iconic flavors to new audiences, and reinforce the brand's relevance 139 00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:30.399 in today's evolving retail and dining landscape. There are right now, 140 00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:34.120 as of right now, more than three hundred Wiener Schnitzel 141 00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:37.879 locations across thirteen states, most of them here in the West. 142 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:40.799 There are a couple in Louisiana and Illinois as well. 143 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:45.440 All Right, the question do you prefer movies in a 144 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.159 movie theater or movies in the comfort of your own 145 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:49.919 home theater versus couch. 146 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:51.960 We'll talk about that when we come back. 147 00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:56.559 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI 148 00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:57.679 AM six forty. 149 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:01.240 We'll do true crime Tuesday. Coming up at the bottom 150 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:04.159 of the hour. Was one of them was the Mushroom murders. 151 00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:07.480 We've talked about it before, but a revisit of what 152 00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:12.679 it is that this woman did and everybody has ideas 153 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:14.879 on what's going on for the mushroom murder trial and 154 00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:18.279 then a cold case out of Northern California. It took 155 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.600 forty seven years, but it was a student who came 156 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:27.080 forward with some information that explained that opened the door 157 00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:29.879 for the murderer of a teacher from up there in 158 00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:33.600 Northern California. We spoke earlier today about the difference between 159 00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:37.799 streaming services and theater openings when it comes to production 160 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:41.159 companies deciding which vein to go down, which way to 161 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:45.120 release a movie and how that can impact the bottom line. Originally, 162 00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.519 originally Leelo and Stitch was going to be a Disney 163 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:53.720 Plus only release, the remake that is, and they decided 164 00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:57.600 obviously clearly the better bet to do it in theaters, 165 00:09:57.720 --> 00:09:59.840 and they're probably well on their way to about a 166 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.360 million dollars. But I wanted to ask, what is better? 167 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.960 Is it movie theaters? Is it streaming sitting in the 168 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:07.840 comfort of your own home. 169 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.080 Hi, Gary, It's Frank and San Bernardino. My wife and 170 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.600 I always go to the Blockbusters at the theater. We 171 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:18.080 go to Ontario Mills just saw Mission Impossible. Any other 172 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:21.320 ones with the big stars in the in the big movies. 173 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:24.639 If we don't, if we watch on streaming, it's usually 174 00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:26.759 because we didn't get to the theater for some reason. 175 00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:29.440 But no comparison. Have a great one. 176 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:30.679 Thank you you too. 177 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:31.679 Yeah. 178 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:35.639 The the benefit obviously of one of the theater movies 179 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:39.159 is the gigantic screen fills up your peripheral vision. Depending 180 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:42.639 on where you said, the sound systems are incredible, although 181 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:46.759 the technology for sound systems in home theater have definitely 182 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:48.440 increased in the last couple of years. 183 00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:49.200 A very great. 184 00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:53.399 Question toil back and forth between the movies then sitting 185 00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:57.440 in my living room with the sixty five inch high 186 00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.919 definition TV in a solo surrounds system. I don't think 187 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:04.399 that can be be so I vote for staying at home. 188 00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:07.480 I'm sorry. I have memories of being a kid and 189 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:10.240 going to the movies for a quarter. Believe it or not, 190 00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:11.960 post days are over. 191 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:13.960 On and I never went when it was a quarter, 192 00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:15.600 but I did have a couple of days where it 193 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.080 was like a four dollars movie ticket that was the cheapest. 194 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:18.799 Hey, Yary, you. 195 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:21.720 Want to chime in on your movie theater question. If 196 00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:24.080 it is a movie that I think my kids would 197 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:28.399 like and I would enjoy it too, I definitely like 198 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:30.519 to take them to the movie theater for that type 199 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:32.879 of thing. But if it's a movie just for me 200 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.159 or my husband, I could care less. And we just 201 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:38.519 watched that at home, not even paying to streatment. Wait 202 00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:40.320 till it's free, missus. 203 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:44.879 Shannon, Thank you the best movie that I've ever seen. 204 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:47.639 Would I want to watch it at home or in 205 00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:51.320 a theater? Yeah, definitely in a theater. I love going 206 00:11:51.320 --> 00:11:53.360 to the theater. I'm glad it's back. 207 00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:54.480 I do it a lot. 208 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:58.200 It's kind of expensive, but I love it. It's my 209 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:00.919 introverted times, definitely in the theater. 210 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:04.159 The last movie I saw, I should say, the last 211 00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:07.480 movie that I had to get up early or stay 212 00:12:07.559 --> 00:12:11.919 up late to see was one of the Star Wars movies, 213 00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:14.799 and my son and I got up I believed four 214 00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:18.000 o'clock in the morning. It opened at midnight Thursday night, 215 00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:21.120 Friday morning, and then we saw one of the second 216 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:24.720 or third showing or whatever it was. And that was 217 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:27.559 eight nine years ago something like that. That was the 218 00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:30.519 last one that I actually had to set an alarm 219 00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:31.600 for to go see a movie. 220 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:34.039 Hey, gear Bear, robin oc I like to see the 221 00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:37.279 big premieres is always a fun time. They stopped during 222 00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:39.840 the midnight release and those were great. We would get 223 00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:42.440 dressed up, we'd see the movie, we'd be excited about it. 224 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:44.600 There was a lot of hype. I take the kids. 225 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:47.480 That was the best experience ever. 226 00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:47.960 Yeah. 227 00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:50.200 I think a lot of people agree with that, the 228 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:55.919 idea that there's something about the group mentality of seeing 229 00:12:55.919 --> 00:12:59.360 a movie that you're all very excited about. It may 230 00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:02.399 be different than having you and your your wife or 231 00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:04.519 your kid or whatever sitting next to you and they're 232 00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:07.000 not that interested in the movie that you wanted to watch. 233 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.879 Hey, Gary, enjoy you in the show. Listen to movie theaters. 234 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:17.639 I'm not. I don't go to them. I'm afraid of 235 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:23.759 getting the scavs or what or or bed bugs or 236 00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:27.320 anything like that. Okay, And it's it's gross to smell 237 00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:28.879 of popcorn bread. 238 00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:35.720 Disgust me. What but good air conditioning? All right, that's 239 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:39.679 the popcorn bread. Popcorn itself smells great. 240 00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:40.320 That's uh. 241 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:42.279 That's one of the things I got going for there 242 00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:44.159 at a movie theater that I don't have at the house. 243 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:47.399 To go to the movie theater. 244 00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:50.799 Okay, as long as people stay off their damn cellphones 245 00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:51.440 going to the movie. 246 00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:53.720 Oh yeah, and while you're at it, stay off of 247 00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:54.679 my lawn too. 248 00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:00.559 That'd be bad, Hi, Gary and Shannon Without shann in today, 249 00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:06.120 I think that the theatrical experience is far superior to 250 00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:09.519 the at home experience, though, to be fair to everyone, 251 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:14.159 you can see a movie and eat your favorite snacks 252 00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:14.879 and candy. 253 00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:15.360 For free at home. 254 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:17.960 But in the theater, you know, especially if you're a 255 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.639 solo traveler like me, it's really cool to be around 256 00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:22.840 others watching the same movie as you and hearing those 257 00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:26.120 you know, reactions and having those conversations. 258 00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:27.559 After the film. That is also fun. 259 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:30.200 If you're able to see a movie in a different location, 260 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:34.679 and usually it's not necessarily everybody's big vacation plan is 261 00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:37.679 to go see a movie. I mean, you're there to 262 00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:40.919 see I guess you're there to see the location you 263 00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:43.240 need in the restaurants and visit the things in hike 264 00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.879 the mountains or whatever you're supposed to do. But there 265 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:47.639 are still a group of people that will go see 266 00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:52.799 a movie in Hawaii or in Cabo or something like that. 267 00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:57.320 And part of it is because you still I would 268 00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:00.759 say it's at least partially because people want to have 269 00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:04.519 the familiar, even in those places that are unusual to them. 270 00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:06.679 That's why people go to You're gonna go to Japan 271 00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:09.720 and go to a McDonald's. I mean, granted it's slightly different, 272 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:12.639 but it's McDonald's. You got a McDonald You've got four 273 00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:14.200 of them on the way home from work, and you 274 00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:16.240 go all the way to Japan and eat at McDonald's. 275 00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:20.879 I have a vacation plan later in the summer, and 276 00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:28.879 my nephew is very excited about seeing Superman and we're 277 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:31.320 gonna be in Hawaii, and he wants to go see 278 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:32.759 Superman in Hawaii. 279 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:36.039 I would rather sit anywhere on any. 280 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:38.840 Of those islands for any length of time than sit 281 00:15:38.919 --> 00:15:41.120 in a movie theater for a couple of hours. But 282 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.480 that's his big plan. That's one of the things he 283 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:45.720 has carved out, is he wants to go see Superman 284 00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:47.840 when it opens on July eleventh. 285 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:49.360 That is one of those stories. 286 00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:52.320 By the way, they do expect Superman to come in 287 00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:56.759 somewhere around seven hundred million dollars to be considered a success. 288 00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:00.600 Because Superman had a budget of two hundred twenty five 289 00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:04.600 million dollars. The release date obviously is going to be 290 00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:10.440 a big deal, and the weekend after the fourth of 291 00:16:10.519 --> 00:16:13.919 July may be just what it needs to pick up 292 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:17.240 that seven hundred million dollars. The last Superman or at 293 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:20.480 least The Man of Steel, Superman made about six hundred 294 00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:25.279 and seventy million worldwide with at the time it wasn't unknown, 295 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:27.519 but Henry Cavill wasn't as big a star then as 296 00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:30.919 he is now. So up next True Crime Tuesdays, we're 297 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:36.799 going to start with the Mushroom murders taking Australia by storm. 298 00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:40.559 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI 299 00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:41.679 AM six forty. 300 00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:44.320 There was a there's a story. 301 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:48.120 We were talking about the difference between streaming services and 302 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:52.639 movie theaters. Which production studios want to release it streaming, 303 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:55.080 which ones want to go to the movie theater, And 304 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:57.279 there was a somebody just reminded me of something. The 305 00:16:57.360 --> 00:16:59.440 caught quality on the audio was not great, but they 306 00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:04.200 said that had been calling sorry that they had called 307 00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:06.440 in to say that they like going to the movies. 308 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:10.920 They used to until there was one movie where somebody 309 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:15.279 was eating the popcorn kernels, the unpopped kernels in the 310 00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:20.119 movie theater and cracking them with their teeth. Now there 311 00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:22.759 is a movie and I can't remember what it is. 312 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:26.559 Joseph Gordon Levitt is in it. I believe, I want 313 00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:29.480 to say, it's like it would have been right around 314 00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:34.640 two thousand perhaps, and it was a story about young 315 00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:37.799 men that had been diagnosed with cancer. A young man 316 00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:39.680 who'd been diagnosed with cancer and it's the end of 317 00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:42.960 his life. Basic depressing movie. My wife and I saw 318 00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:46.400 that movie and the person sitting next to us ate 319 00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:51.359 a green apple in the movie theater. Full crunch, full slurp, 320 00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:58.680 full truck. It was awful. It was absolutely awful. So 321 00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:01.079 that was the worst experience I think we had as 322 00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:04.519 movie theaters. It's time for True Crime Tuesday. 323 00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:07.240 The story is true. 324 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.559 True, No, it sounds made up. 325 00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:17.079 I don't know. Garry and Shannon present True Crime. 326 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:22.079 Well, this is this case out of Australia is being 327 00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:24.680 overshadowed by the court cases that we have going on 328 00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:27.359 here in America. We've got the Karen Reid case, We've 329 00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:29.559 got the Harvey Weinstein case, We've got the Sean Diddy 330 00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:31.680 Combs case. We've got all these cases that are going 331 00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:35.160 on and sucking a lot of attention away from what's 332 00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:37.920 going on in Australia. This is a tiny little town, 333 00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:42.240 a tiny a few hours outside of Melbourne. The small 334 00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:45.480 town of Morewell is where this trial is taking place. 335 00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:49.480 But the crime that they're hearing about took place in 336 00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:53.440 the even smaller town of Leongatha. In July of twenty 337 00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:58.200 twenty three, Aaron Patterson, a fifty year old mom of 338 00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:01.319 a couple of kids, is face racing three counts of 339 00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:08.039 murder murder for serving toxic beef Wellington to relatives at 340 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:11.680 her house. Now she was a strange from her husband 341 00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:15.640 Simon at the time and he was invited to the lunch, 342 00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:19.400 but he didn't show up, so he and Aaron invited 343 00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:24.559 her in laws, Don and Gail Patterson, Gail's sister, so 344 00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:26.759 this would have been her aunt and uncle in law, 345 00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:33.559 Heather Wilkinson, and Ian Wilkinson. Three of those four people 346 00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:39.079 died as a result of eating that beef. Wellington, Don 347 00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:41.599 and Gail the mother and father in law, and then 348 00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:46.079 Gail's sister Heather the aunt in law, all died. Ian 349 00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:49.160 Ate but survived even though he spent several weeks in 350 00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:53.160 the hospital. And again the estranged husband, Simon, was supposed 351 00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:56.319 to be at the lunch, but he backed out. Now 352 00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:02.680 all of this has to do with poisonous mushrooms. Aaron 353 00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:07.400 Patterson had said that when COVID hit, she started foraging 354 00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.480 for mushrooms on her own, just kind of a hobby 355 00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:15.680 during lockdown of March of twenty twenty, and the question was, well, 356 00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:18.359 who knew you had this hobby, and she said, only 357 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:23.440 my kids, which is weird. Now, we've been told for 358 00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:27.880 a very long time, don't just take mushrooms out of 359 00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:29.880 the wild and cook them and eat them. They can 360 00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:35.400 kill you, she says. When she would forage for these mushrooms. 361 00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:37.599 She would cut a little bit of one, fry it 362 00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:40.039 up with some butter, and eat it. She said they 363 00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:43.279 taste good. She said she didn't get sick. She also 364 00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:46.039 fed some of these foraged mushrooms to her kids. She 365 00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:48.200 chopped them up very small so they wouldn't pick them 366 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:51.240 out of the dishes that she was making, the curries, 367 00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:54.079 the pastas, and the soups, and developed a taste for 368 00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:59.920 exotic mushroom varieties. She even joined a mushroom lover's Facebook group. 369 00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:04.440 She even bought a dehydrator, a food dehydrator to preserve 370 00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:05.680 these mushrooms. 371 00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:09.240 And when asked by her own. 372 00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:13.480 Attorney, did she accept that that beef Wellington she made 373 00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:19.279 in July of twenty three did include death cap mushrooms, 374 00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:23.759 She said, yes, yes, she knows she did it, but 375 00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:28.680 it was entirely an accident, she said, so, she told 376 00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:30.680 her lawyer most of the mushrooms that she used that 377 00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:33.680 day in that beef Wellington came from local supermarkets, and 378 00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:35.799 she agreed she might have put them in the same 379 00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:39.240 container as some of the wild mushrooms that she had foraged, 380 00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:42.240 and there were even others that came from an Asian 381 00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:45.319 food store that she didn't necessarily know the provenance of. 382 00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:50.319 Oh there's more, she. 383 00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:52.640 Did say, like I said, she admitted that there were 384 00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:55.799 death cap mushrooms in there. She said it was completely accidental. 385 00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:59.920 But she was asked about a series of explative film 386 00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:03.440 messages that she had sent about those in laws a 387 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:08.039 few months before they died. She said it was in 388 00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:11.720 a Facebook group she described as what she thought was 389 00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:16.119 a safe venting space for a group of women. And 390 00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:20.119 she's talking smack about her in laws who then six 391 00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:25.839 months later end up completely dead. She said she tried 392 00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:28.519 to have her in laws mediate a dispute with their 393 00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:32.880 estranged husband, Simon their son about school fields school fees, 394 00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:35.960 and she was feeling hurt. She said she was frustrated. 395 00:22:35.960 --> 00:22:39.200 She was a little bit desperate. The couple they separated 396 00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:42.359 a long time ago, ten years ago. So this is 397 00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:45.079 eight years later that she invites the in laws and 398 00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:48.079 the aunt and uncle in law over for this beautiful 399 00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:54.920 beef Wellington. This is a captivating trial in the country 400 00:22:54.960 --> 00:23:00.400 of Australia. Everybody everywhere is talking about this. There are 401 00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:03.319
