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. Breaking news out of the Ukraine
Speaker 1: talks in Saudia Arabia.
Speaker 2: Saudia Arabia. Sure, Saudi Arabia, I wasn't going to correct you.
Speaker 1: US has agreed to immediately lift the pause on military
Speaker 1: aid and intelligence sharing to Ukraine.
Speaker 2: These This was a pause put into.
Speaker 1: Place after the Oval Office melee, and now that has been.
Speaker 2: Agreed to upon.
Speaker 1: That has been agreed upon in Saudi Arabia again, we've
Speaker 1: got Marco Rubio over there meeting with the people under
Speaker 1: Zelenski about some sort of agreement to try to course
Speaker 1: correct after the mess in the Oval Office between Trump
Speaker 1: and Zelenski.
Speaker 3: We told you obviously, it's raining in parts of southern
Speaker 3: California today. The bigger storm is coming in late tomorrow
Speaker 3: into Thursday. Temperatures in Texas, though, are expected to be
Speaker 3: so high. They've never seen March temperatures in Texas this high.
Speaker 3: How high, It's pretty common for it to be hot
Speaker 3: during the summer, but the current record is one hundred
Speaker 3: and eight degrees in some location in Southwest Texas for
Speaker 3: the month of March one hundred and eight degrees, and
Speaker 3: that came late in March many years ago. They're saying
Speaker 3: that they could see well over triple digits in many
Speaker 3: places in Texas in the next week or so.
Speaker 1: All eyes on Wall Street is impossible to separate what's
Speaker 1: going on with what's going on in Washington.
Speaker 2: It's where we kick off swamp Watch.
Speaker 4: I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar.
Speaker 4: And when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we got The real problem is that our leaders
Speaker 5: are done.
Speaker 2: The other side never quits.
Speaker 3: So what I'm not going anywhere?
Speaker 2: Now you train the.
Speaker 4: Squat, I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by.
Speaker 2: What has been.
Speaker 4: You know, Americans have always been gone at present. They're
Speaker 4: not stupid.
Speaker 3: A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 4: Have the people voted for you with na swap watch,
Speaker 4: they're all Canada.
Speaker 3: Well, it goes back and forth. We've talked about Wall Street.
Speaker 3: Right now that Dow has recovered a bit, it's still
Speaker 3: down almost five hundred points. This is after yesterday's big
Speaker 3: loss as well, the S and P five hundred and
Speaker 3: the Nasdaq, both in negative territory. These head spinning moves,
Speaker 3: as it's being described in this latest escalation in the
Speaker 3: trade war with Canada, they're pretty routine now, unfortunately, which
Speaker 3: is weird to say, but the only thing that makes
Speaker 3: Canada sorry, the only thing that makes sense is for
Speaker 3: Canada to become our cherished fifty first state. That's the
Speaker 3: level we're at right now with Trump. These tariffs can
Speaker 3: obviously hurt our economy by raising prices for US consumers
Speaker 3: and coming up global trade. And even if they end
Speaker 3: up being less than what was advertised originally, all these
Speaker 3: moves could create enough uncertainty that you're going to see
Speaker 3: American companies and consumers in this sort of paralysis about
Speaker 3: where we are putting our money. And that's one of
Speaker 3: the things Wall Street hates is uncertainty. And that's where
Speaker 3: we find ourselves right now.
Speaker 1: Economists marking down their estimates for growth this year. The
Speaker 1: economy right now appears to be stable, but just over
Speaker 1: a month ago it was so much different, rights a
Speaker 1: huge difference from where we were. Stock indexes at a
Speaker 1: record high, consumer sentiment rapidly improving.
Speaker 2: Remember Trump ran on this.
Speaker 1: He said essentially, if I don't win, it's going to
Speaker 1: be like the Great Depression around here. I don't remember
Speaker 1: exactly the quote, but it involved nineteen twenty nine. And
Speaker 1: so he has said that these are blips what you're
Speaker 1: seeing on Wall Street, these are just blips. You will
Speaker 1: find investors to agree with him at this point that yes,
Speaker 1: they are.
Speaker 2: It should correct itself.
Speaker 1: But for it to correct itself, there's got to be
Speaker 1: some sort of certainty or at least not this much
Speaker 1: uncertainty and volatility. So we'll see what happens today and
Speaker 1: how the dust settles at the end of the week.
Speaker 2: Pretty much. When it comes to the tariff talk.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's almost it's hard to keep track
Speaker 3: of where we are with the tariffs. Trump says he's
Speaker 3: going to respond in kind because Canada put on a
Speaker 3: surcharge for the export of electricity to the United States.
Speaker 3: So Trump said he's going to respond with a twenty
Speaker 3: five percent surcharge on electricity to Canadian electricity that would
Speaker 3: increase costs even more for US, particularly in the Northern States.
Speaker 3: Ontario's surcharge is probably going to be about one hundred
Speaker 3: dollars hit on everybody's bills in those states of New York, Minnesota, Michigan.
Speaker 3: In addition, Trump said that he's going to levy even
Speaker 3: larger tariffs on the steel and aluminum that we get
Speaker 3: from Canada, placing twenty five percent tariffs an additional twenty
Speaker 3: five percent tariff up to fifty percent now on steel
Speaker 3: and aluminum. Is there an end to this or are
Speaker 3: they just continued measuring belts against each other.
Speaker 1: Also on Wall Street, Tesla is seeing well sales are
Speaker 1: bad for Tesla number one and now plunging stock prices. This,
Speaker 1: of course is connected to Musk downsizing the federal government
Speaker 1: at the behest of Trump. He continues to run Tesla
Speaker 1: as well as SpaceX and X, but Trump's reaction has
Speaker 1: been to buy a new Tesla at full market price.
Speaker 1: It could be at the White House this afternoon.
Speaker 4: They don't show support, do they deliver them that fact?
Speaker 3: I guess if you're that guy, they probably deliver it
Speaker 3: pretty quickly.
Speaker 2: Sure, pretty sure he's got.
Speaker 3: An end, because usually he got a wait a week
Speaker 3: or two, maybe three or four, depending on which one
Speaker 3: you get. The House is working on a plan to
Speaker 3: put together a spending bill to prevent a government shutdown.
Speaker 4: Mike Johnson, the Speaker, held a news conference this morning.
Speaker 6: I hope some of them will have a moment of
Speaker 6: clarity themselves and do the right thing. But it looks
Speaker 6: like they're going to try to shut down the government.
Speaker 6: It's a striking new posture for Democrats who have always
Speaker 6: said they spent apoplectic about the prospect of government shutdowns.
Speaker 3: I mean, he did read quotes from many Democratic House
Speaker 3: members that talked about how egregious it would be and
Speaker 3: irresponsible for the House to ever allow the government.
Speaker 1: To shut downs when there was a different person in
Speaker 1: the White House.
Speaker 4: That's very true.
Speaker 3: Democratic leaders, though, are telling their members to oppose this plan.
Speaker 3: They said it provides too much discretion to the Trump
Speaker 3: administration and to doze to drest reduced federal spending. They
Speaker 3: also claim they can't support it because it does not
Speaker 3: outwardly protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, although those programs
Speaker 3: aren't actually funded through the appropriations process. There is one
Speaker 3: member that has said that he would not vote for it,
Speaker 3: Thomas Massey out of Kentucky. I said that he would
Speaker 3: not vote for it. But they will take a procedural
Speaker 3: vote on it at one o'clock this afternoon before it
Speaker 3: goes over to the Senate.
Speaker 1: More breaking news out of Saudi Why do I keep
Speaker 1: saying that Saudi Arabia Ukraine now says in a joint
Speaker 1: statement with the United States that it is open to
Speaker 1: a thirty day cease fire. Again, Russia is not represented
Speaker 1: at these talks and has not said how it feels
Speaker 1: one way or the other, aside from the fact that
Speaker 1: there are concessions Russia wants in order to come to
Speaker 1: the table to talk about the C word this hour
Speaker 1: in a joint statement with the United States that it
Speaker 1: is opened to a thirty day ceasefire in the war
Speaker 1: with Russia. As these talks continue throughout the day in
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, Marco Rubio there, the head.
Speaker 2: Of our delegation.
Speaker 3: Remember President Trump wanted to turn on the spigot and
Speaker 3: bring all that big, cold, beautiful water for the Pacific
Speaker 3: Northwest water.
Speaker 4: Well, there was.
Speaker 3: A spigot, but it was water that didn't come from
Speaker 3: the Pacific Northwest and it didn't come to southern California.
Speaker 2: Where is the spigot, secret spigot up there?
Speaker 3: Oh and anyway, there's a memo that proves that even
Speaker 3: the Army Corps of Engineers was like, are you sure
Speaker 3: you want us to do this?
Speaker 4: Because it ain't going to do what you think it's
Speaker 4: gonna do.
Speaker 2: Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 7: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 7: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: We were talking about the weather. I wanted to play
Speaker 3: this for you before we get into our water story here.
Speaker 3: Brooks Garner is a meteorologist with WOFL down in Florida,
Speaker 3: and yesterday he was on the air live weather broadcast
Speaker 3: warning people that a tornado was coming. And the tornado
Speaker 3: hit the building that the TV station was in, and
Speaker 3: he's on the air while it's happening. The studio apparently
Speaker 3: has cinder block walls and his tornado resistant. I don't
Speaker 3: know if it's ever a tornado proof, but that's where
Speaker 3: he was and you can hear him telling people in
Speaker 3: the building. If you're in the Fox thirty five studios,
Speaker 3: it's time to go find shelter.
Speaker 8: Still into breezone. Everybody, get in, every ready, get in
Speaker 8: the studio. Come on, hey guys, Okay, we got power
Speaker 8: flickering out. That's a tornado. This is a this is
Speaker 8: a confirmed tornado. National Weather Serves. If you're listening, this
Speaker 8: is a confirm tornado. Yeah, this is heading into Lake
Speaker 8: Marie and Sanford. Right now, get below below the ground level, sorry,
Speaker 8: get to.
Speaker 2: The Gris design. You mean a Chris Shabel.
Speaker 1: Get somebody in there whose breath remains measured.
Speaker 3: He started by having the antenna cam or tower cam,
Speaker 3: whatever it was, on the top of their building a
Speaker 3: few hundred feet up. He was telling the control room
Speaker 3: to turn the camera to look at this thing as
Speaker 3: it was making its way towards the TV station.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 3: And you just see the sky get dark and gray,
Speaker 3: and then all this debris starts flying around.
Speaker 4: That's why he talked about the debris.
Speaker 3: And he could hear it hitting the roof of the studio,
Speaker 3: all the stuff that was blown up by this tornade.
Speaker 2: It's a great live report, isn't it.
Speaker 4: Adrenaline? Then that guy must have had here.
Speaker 1: We concern ourselves not with tornadoes, but with water, big water.
Speaker 1: The President thought that we had big water that could
Speaker 1: be come in our way if he would just turn
Speaker 1: on the spigot up north.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: People just do the simple.
Speaker 5: Thing what I really want to have done. I was
Speaker 5: talking about this with the guys back in the Joval Office.
Speaker 5: Los Angeles has made massive amounts of water available to it.
Speaker 4: All they have to do is turn the valve.
Speaker 5: And that's the valve coming back from and down from
Speaker 5: the Pacific Northwest, where millions of gallons of water a
Speaker 5: week and a day, even in many cases pours into California,
Speaker 5: goes all through California down to Los Angeles, and they
Speaker 5: turned it off. It's off. Now the valve goes, it
Speaker 5: turns toward the Pacific Ocean and all that water goes
Speaker 5: pouring into the Pacific Ocean. If they did what I
Speaker 5: told them to do, they wouldn't do it because politically
Speaker 5: they didn't think it was good. I think it's great. Politically,
Speaker 5: I think they're dead politically. What they've done, they've destroyed
Speaker 5: the city.
Speaker 3: Okay, that was January twenty third. On January thirtieth, the
Speaker 3: Army Corps of Engineers did actually turn on finger quotes
Speaker 3: the spigot, and they did release some water from Lake
Speaker 3: Koweya and Success Lake, but the kernel. The commander of
Speaker 3: the Army Corps Sacramento District, Colonel Chad Caldwell, wrote in
Speaker 3: a memo that the water that came out of those lakes,
Speaker 3: those little reservoirs in the Sierra Nevada could not be
Speaker 3: delivered to southern California directly. That to do so would
Speaker 3: have actually required several other steps of coordination, not just
Speaker 3: with the Army Corps of Engineers, but with the state
Speaker 3: the other federal agencies to transport the water to this
Speaker 3: connection point that they almost never use. And it became
Speaker 3: clear that it was impossible to coordinate all of that
Speaker 3: in such little time. Because the President wanted it done immediately,
Speaker 3: the White House also instructed the Army Corps of Engineers
Speaker 3: to make sure that they took pictures of the release
Speaker 3: of the water going down the spillway or the dam,
Speaker 3: or however they were releasing it, so that the White
Speaker 3: House could show see all it takes is a firm
Speaker 3: know or a firm command from the White House to
Speaker 3: get this done, and that somehow state and local officials
Speaker 3: were the ones preventing all of the big beauty water
Speaker 3: from the Pacific Northwest from coming to Los Angeles. Now,
Speaker 3: this release of the water did not cause any major flooding,
Speaker 3: It wasn't problematic in any way, and in fact, some
Speaker 3: of it did flow into the underground sites that store
Speaker 3: groundwater for future use. But they said this farmers who
Speaker 3: do rely on that water at least later on in
Speaker 3: the growing season. And officials from both parties up and
Speaker 3: down the Central Valley walked into the White House, I
Speaker 3: guess proverbially, and.
Speaker 4: Raised their hands and said, what the hell are you doing.
Speaker 3: You don't know anything about how the water system in
Speaker 3: the Western United States works. There is no giant pipeline
Speaker 3: from Seattle to la that somehow Democrats have commandeered and
Speaker 3: won't allow anybody to turn the hose on.
Speaker 1: You think they could get it together enough to come
Speaker 1: and deer a major water line.
Speaker 2: Nobody can, but certainly not people in government.
Speaker 3: And then the Army corp of Engineers doesn't even have
Speaker 3: enough time to inform all of the other agencies that
Speaker 3: are involved when they do these releases, to tell everybody downstream, Hey,
Speaker 3: just so you know, make sure that this doesn't cause flooding,
Speaker 3: make sure the debris basins are open, make sure the
Speaker 3: volume of water is capable, or that your whatever infrastructure
Speaker 3: downstream is capable of handling this.
Speaker 4: Influx of water that you're not expecting. And then they
Speaker 4: just went and flushed.
Speaker 1: You have a prompt. You had a prom date? You
Speaker 1: remember your prom date?
Speaker 4: Yes? That was Becca?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 2: Becca?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I h Hey, guys, do you go to prom with.
Speaker 2: One?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 2: For that prom?
Speaker 4: Oh? I said no.
Speaker 1: When I when I first went to high school, I
Speaker 1: went to a different high school than was the feeder
Speaker 1: school for the Catholics, grammar school I went to. Everyone
Speaker 1: went to marin Catholic. I went to the public high school.
Speaker 1: I didn't really know anyone when I went into high
Speaker 1: school and for the first dance that you know, homecoming
Speaker 1: comes pretty quickly. It's in the fall, and I really
Speaker 1: know a lot of people. And a junior boy asked
Speaker 1: me as a freshman to go to homecoming, and I
Speaker 1: said yes because that's the polite thing to do, and
Speaker 1: then immediately started freaking out about it. Like whatever the
Speaker 1: kids call anxiety today, I had that. And because I
Speaker 1: was fourteen years old and he was a fully grown
Speaker 1: man pretty much as a junior to a freshman girl, right,
Speaker 1: And I remember just freaking out about it, like I
Speaker 1: don't I don't want to go to a dance with him, Like.
Speaker 2: The idea of it was just terrifying to me.
Speaker 1: And I ended up telling him that I wasn't going
Speaker 1: with him because I was just terrified.
Speaker 4: I didn't tell him that because you were scared.
Speaker 1: No, I don't know what I made up. I remember
Speaker 1: calling him, I remember standing in the kitchen telling him
Speaker 1: I couldn't go. I don't know what I said, but
Speaker 1: I remember just the fear and the awfulness that went
Speaker 1: along with that phone call and that feeling the whole thing.
Speaker 1: And I ended up going with a group of girlfriends,
Speaker 1: like you should do when you're fourteen years old, because
Speaker 1: you're ready for that.
Speaker 4: Anyway, Julie's dances with I'm.
Speaker 1: Still feeling awful about it, like five hundred years later,
Speaker 1: thirty years later, Well, the similar thing happened to this woman.
Speaker 1: She backed out of her prom date back in nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty eight. But hell, she's made up for it. We'll
Speaker 1: tell you how.
Speaker 7: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 7: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We talked about the
Speaker 1: NTSB providing an update this afternoon about the crash between
Speaker 1: the American Airlines flight and the black Hawk helicopter at
Speaker 1: the airport in DC.
Speaker 2: The NTSB is speaking right.
Speaker 1: Now and says that there is an intolerable risk of collisions,
Speaker 1: that is their verbiage, intolerable risk of collisions at that airport,
Speaker 1: and urges a ban on some helicopter flights. If you've
Speaker 1: flown out or in there, you've seen the helicopter traffic
Speaker 1: and the jetliner traffic, and it's always kind of odd.
Speaker 3: I've flown in there at night, and thankfully it was
Speaker 3: at night, so I didn't get to see all of
Speaker 3: that stuff. It's an incredible view of DC as you
Speaker 3: come and you make your final approach on stuff that
Speaker 3: is really very cool, but you're lucky it's at night,
Speaker 3: so you don't get to see how close you are
Speaker 3: to those other airplanes and helicopters. A strange story out
Speaker 3: of Pakistan. Armed militants have taken a train hostage. They're
Speaker 3: calling it a terrorist attack that is being perpetrated by
Speaker 3: the Balloch Liberation Army has threatened to execute all four
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty hostages on that plane. Sorry on that train,
Speaker 3: over four hundred and fifty passengers on board being held
Speaker 3: by a gunman, according to a senior railway official. The
Speaker 3: capital of the province is Keta. This has been going
Speaker 3: on for several hours now. But again they took over
Speaker 3: a train and so that they will execute four hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty passengers, if not more. Also a little bit
Speaker 3: later today, one o'clock is when the House is expected
Speaker 3: to vote on a stopgap measure to keep the federal
Speaker 3: government funded beyond Friday.
Speaker 2: Wait wait what one o'clock? That means John gets to
Speaker 2: have all the government shut down?
Speaker 1: Fun lucky, lucky, lucky pastaredp.
Speaker 4: Me Democratic votes. They hold the majority. Tell a story
Speaker 4: like it is, brother.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sorry I was wrong. Oh wait, no I wasn't.
Speaker 3: Republicans hold the majority in both the Senate and the House.
Speaker 1: We won the whole damn thing, y'all. So okay, So
Speaker 1: back to nineteen eighty eight we go. John Moyer has
Speaker 1: prom upon him, and he asks a girl.
Speaker 4: And she bails.
Speaker 2: She bails on him, thanks a lot.
Speaker 1: I thought it was her that came forward and made
Speaker 1: good on it.
Speaker 2: It was not. She sucks. She still has.
Speaker 4: Bailed good to us.
Speaker 1: But it was the fill in prom date who has
Speaker 1: really come through for Sean Moyer all these years later.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Elena Hershey was her name.
Speaker 3: She was a year younger than Sean and in Shawn's
Speaker 3: brother's class at Dallastown Area High School in Pennsylvania, and.
Speaker 4: She says yes.
Speaker 3: However, no idea that the fact that the first girl
Speaker 3: bailed on him, and then Elena said yes that she
Speaker 3: was going to eventually come back into his life thirty
Speaker 3: seven years later.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Sean Moyer is a doctor now. He graduated that
Speaker 1: high school, Dallas Down Area High School there in Pennsylvania
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty eight, lost touch with the prom date, Elena,
Speaker 1: who later moved to Boulder became a teacher.
Speaker 2: Elena did now.
Speaker 1: It wasn't until December of twenty twenty three that the
Speaker 1: two reconnected. Why did they reconnect? No, it's nothing like that.
Speaker 1: Get your mind out of the gutter. They reconnected because
Speaker 1: Elena hears from a mutual friend that went to the
Speaker 1: same high school that good old Sean. Remember Sean Moyer
Speaker 1: from Oh Yeah, I went to problem with him. Well,
Speaker 1: he's on dialysis and needs a kidney, So Elena says,
Speaker 1: I contacted.
Speaker 2: Him and I offered him my kidney. It wasn't out
Speaker 2: of the blue.
Speaker 1: Elena became interested in kidney donation about two years ago,
Speaker 1: researched it extensively, went through the tests, realized it was
Speaker 1: no longer a question of if I was going to
Speaker 1: donate a kidney at some point.
Speaker 3: It was when yeah, And she said she'd been approved
Speaker 3: as a kidney donor summer of twenty three, and she
Speaker 3: figured it this way. A couple of weeks of down
Speaker 3: time and a little discomfort on my part, If that's
Speaker 3: all I need to extend someone's life, it's an easy
Speaker 3: decision to make.
Speaker 1: Sean was stunned to hear from Elena. He said, I
Speaker 1: was flabbergasted.
Speaker 3: And Sean has had kidney issues all his life. As
Speaker 3: a teenager, he had an infection that led his body
Speaker 3: to reject his own kidneys. And I didn't realize that
Speaker 3: donated kidneys have an expiration on them. You get about
Speaker 3: eight years for a kidney that comes out of a
Speaker 3: cadaver or deceased donor, and about twenty years likely for
Speaker 3: a living donor. So he got his first kidney transplant
Speaker 3: when he was a teenager and then ended up with
Speaker 3: the second kidney transplant. This one would be his third,
Speaker 3: and now that he's in his fifties, it's a little
Speaker 3: bit tougher now.
Speaker 1: Did they match? That can be a tough thing to
Speaker 1: do as well. Slim chances right. Shawn's got Type O
Speaker 1: blood and can be challenging to find a compatible kidney
Speaker 1: because the donor must also be Type OH.
Speaker 2: Elena was not.
Speaker 1: She was not a match for him, but there was
Speaker 1: something else she could do. The National Kidney Registry has
Speaker 1: a paired exchange program, so a donor can give a
Speaker 1: voucher to a recipient who will then be prioritized to
Speaker 1: receive a living donor kidney. So because Elena gave her kidney,
Speaker 1: then he'd be you know, first step for the OH
Speaker 1: blood type situation kidney.
Speaker 3: What's interesting is that she did a similar I'm sorry
Speaker 3: Shawn's wife not the prom day, but the wife did
Speaker 3: a paired exchange twenty years ago. She wasn't a match
Speaker 3: for her own husband, but rather than waiting seven to
Speaker 3: ten years for the cadaver kidney, if the prom date
Speaker 3: donated her kidney to a stranger and gave her voucher
Speaker 3: to Sean, then he'd be able to get a kidney
Speaker 3: from a donor within a year. That's how they were
Speaker 3: able to save two people in the process. And the
Speaker 3: way that the way that prom Dada Elena put it on,
Speaker 3: it's like planting two trees with one seed, so she
Speaker 3: has her nephrectomy July third, donates your kidney to an
Speaker 3: anonymous recipient, and within two weeks she's up in exercising again. Said,
Speaker 3: I haven't even found it. I haven't found any downside
Speaker 3: to donating. If it's something I can do that I
Speaker 3: have extra of why wouldn't I want to help somebody?
Speaker 1: Now, if you donate a kidney, if you, at some
Speaker 1: point in your life are in need of a Kennedy kidney,
Speaker 1: do you shoot to the top of the list. Since
Speaker 1: you donated, you already have some goodwill with the people
Speaker 1: at the I'm just wondering if that, if that's part
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know either.
Speaker 4: I would hope you do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I would.
Speaker 1: Assume there's some sort of vehicle since you, uh, since
Speaker 1: you gave away one of the working ones.
Speaker 4: Sean.
Speaker 3: Doctor Sean got his much anticipated call just before Valentine's
Speaker 3: Day from his transplant clinic that a kidney from an
Speaker 3: anonymous donor was available, and a week later he went
Speaker 3: in and got his kidney. Said he's very emotional still
Speaker 3: thanks her. It's this it's coming full circle and the
Speaker 3: system really works. Surgery went well. He's now recovering at home.
Speaker 3: He and Elena, the prom date, regularly in touch. Both
Speaker 3: said that they have they're now bonded for life.
Speaker 4: AH.
Speaker 1: Under the current allocation system put in place in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety six, two groups of people needing a kidney transplant
Speaker 1: receive absolute priority other over otherwise similarly situated candidates. Number
Speaker 1: one those with very rare blood types who are extremely
Speaker 1: hard to match, and two prior living donors.
Speaker 2: So there you go.
Speaker 3: Part of it also is because you've only got one
Speaker 3: at that point, right, So it's it's.
Speaker 2: A need, but you've also donated, So.
Speaker 4: Yeah you should.
Speaker 3: I feel like, yeah, that'd be like Commissioner Baseball giving
Speaker 3: you the gold ticket to any game you want.
Speaker 2: Very similar a baseball gamer life.
Speaker 1: Yes, hey, apples and apples, watch it, watch it, watch it.
Speaker 2: That deserves a watch it.
Speaker 4: Watch yourself.
Speaker 1: You watch yourself. How about if I watch your face
Speaker 1: with my fist? About that?
Speaker 2: Watch that? Yeah about how about that?
Speaker 4: Yeah? So what did you give your prom date?
Speaker 2: What do you mean? What did I give my prom date? Well?
Speaker 1: I actually still talk to my prom date. His grandmother
Speaker 1: just died, missus Pisonelli. She was my second grade teacher.
Speaker 4: Well that's not funny.
Speaker 1: Well she was ninety, she lived her full life and late.
Speaker 1: It just a just a softball out there for you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Danny Rosoff was his name? Is his name?
Speaker 2: He's not dead? Yeah I don't know that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, Gary Channing will continue in just a moment.

Speaker 3: Baseball trivia calendar asks things like what is the record
Speaker 3: for most errors committed by a shortstop in the American

Speaker 3: The answers are between one hundred and two hundred, between
Speaker 3: two hundred and three hundred, between three hundred and five hundred,
Speaker 3: between five hundred and nine hundred. That's like, it's the
Speaker 3: it's the really esoteric questions about it.
Speaker 2: That's baseball trivia for you, though.
Speaker 3: And some of them, some of them are like well
Speaker 3: if I if I figure it out, Like so a
Speaker 3: long time shortstop is going to make what he's going
Speaker 3: to play for what fifteen years?
Speaker 4: Maybe the same place.
Speaker 2: But if he's that good, then how many airs is
