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: I would be a stupid person if I did. If
Speaker 2: I didn't accept a free plane.
Speaker 3: I could be a stupid person to say, oh, no,
Speaker 3: we don't want a free plane.
Speaker 4: We get freak things that we'll take one too. I
Speaker 4: thought I would be stupid.
Speaker 1: Would you like your Jeopardy question? Pro Sports teams by
Speaker 1: Mascot for two hundred Yes, a creature with fire orange
Speaker 1: fur and a basketball nose named Bernie.
Speaker 4: Wow Basketball Miami Heat.
Speaker 5: Yes, good job, nice work.
Speaker 4: What else is going on? Time for what's happening?
Speaker 1: Well, Winter's coming back, guys, we can't. The Marine Layer
Speaker 1: is going to provide us with May gray this week
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles.
Speaker 5: It is a dark time. I hope you enjoyed complaining.
Speaker 1: About how hot it was over the weekend, because now
Speaker 1: the winter is Here's a shame on you. Temps dropping
Speaker 1: more than twenty degrees today, highs along the beaches hovering
Speaker 1: in the mid sixties.
Speaker 4: I didn't know if you're doing that on purpose or not.
Speaker 1: The Marine Layer will continue to deep in tonight and
Speaker 1: then guess what drizzle?
Speaker 2: No, maybe back up towards eighty on Thursday Friday, but
Speaker 2: looks like we.
Speaker 1: Have to make it through the drizzle first. But we're
Speaker 1: going to do it together.
Speaker 4: You guys, Are we together?
Speaker 2: The Menindez brothers resentencing is going to begin tomorrow. They've
Speaker 2: spent about thirty five years, of course behind bars, behind
Speaker 2: bars for the nineteen eighty nine killings of their parents.
Speaker 2: They are asking for early release based on the claim
Speaker 2: that the killings were committed after years of abuse, including
Speaker 2: alleged sexual abuse by their father. We've run through that
Speaker 2: story multiple times. Here's this charting tomorrow.
Speaker 5: Here's the thing. It's not like they're going to go
Speaker 5: free right away.
Speaker 1: If the judge removes life without the possibility of parole,
Speaker 1: that means they're up for parole right away. However, the
Speaker 1: parole board gets to say what the deal is there,
Speaker 1: and the parole board all insinuations point to the parole
Speaker 1: board voting them at a higher risk than you would think.
Speaker 1: Because they have not taken accountability for what they did,
Speaker 1: who were they to say that they get out, And
Speaker 1: because they refuse to take accountability that they will do
Speaker 1: something else.
Speaker 4: And refuse to take accountability.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they're only early fifties, right, I mean mid fifties.
Speaker 2: US and Chinese officials have come out and announced this
Speaker 2: deal to roll back most of the recent tariff increases.
Speaker 2: There's a ninety day truce that they have agreed to
Speaker 2: in the trade war that would give both sides more
Speaker 2: time to talk and resolve the trade disputes that exist.
Speaker 2: So Trade Representative Jameson Greer said the United States will
Speaker 2: go from one hundred and forty five percent tariff down
Speaker 2: to thirty. China agreed to lower its rate down to
Speaker 2: ten percent. They announced all of this after a couple
Speaker 2: of days worth of talks in Geneva, Switzerland.
Speaker 1: The subway in London was disrupted by our power outage.
Speaker 1: That's always scary just because of just the vastness of
Speaker 1: the underground. This happened with multiple lines suspended or disrupted
Speaker 1: because of the power outage, at.
Speaker 5: Least three subway lines.
Speaker 1: You wonder about how just easy it is to shut
Speaker 1: down a swath.
Speaker 5: Did we ever find out what's shut down?
Speaker 4: The oh? The Spanish trains.
Speaker 5: The Spanish trains.
Speaker 4: Now on the national grid.
Speaker 2: Their utility there said there was a fault on a
Speaker 2: transmission network in central London, but that it was resolved
Speaker 2: within seconds. The Transport for London spokesperson said the power
Speaker 2: cut in South London only lasted for a couple of minutes,
Speaker 2: but there were some stations in central London that were
Speaker 2: completely closed down.
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan will join NBC's coverage as a special contributor
Speaker 1: for the NBA that announced.
Speaker 5: I'm surprised by this, he of course.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't need to give you Michael Jordan's resume
Speaker 1: for crying out loud.
Speaker 5: I love that they put that in there.
Speaker 2: I heard a question over the weekend about it was
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan and his relation to the Chicago Bulls. Is
Speaker 2: there any other basketball player that is more closely represented
Speaker 2: with his individual team an individual team, because Jordan played
Speaker 2: for the Wizards later, but is there somebody? And the
Speaker 2: guy it was was a sports talk show up in
Speaker 2: the Bay Area.
Speaker 5: Jordan played in Charlotte too, didn't.
Speaker 4: Hey, he owned part of Charlotte.
Speaker 1: I know that.
Speaker 2: But they were talking about Steph Curry being known as
Speaker 2: the face of the Golden State Warriors. Yeah, and the
Speaker 2: only other people that I could think of would have
Speaker 2: been Larry Bird as the face of the Boston Celtics
Speaker 2: at least, I mean eighties and nineties and Magic Johnson
Speaker 2: for the Lakers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and even that causes people to throw things at
Speaker 1: the radio. Just who on those team those teams? Will
Speaker 1: Bird was there and while well Magic was there, who
Speaker 1: should get top billing and all of that?
Speaker 4: And both of those teams now have other players.
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan transcends any star on any team ever.
Speaker 2: Well, and that was that was I thought could be
Speaker 2: a better question is outside of basketball, like other sports,
Speaker 2: which individual athlete represents their team?
Speaker 4: When you say the Yankees, who do you fink?
Speaker 5: I mean, Jordan kind of gets all of basketball.
Speaker 4: He wins, Yeah, he kind of wins.
Speaker 1: The all right, coming up, we've got your chance at
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars. Also, Pope Leo News, he did a
Speaker 1: mass for the media, kind of made fun of them. Also,
Speaker 1: he's into a particular sport. And there happens to be
Speaker 1: a secret field, nott Field Court, a super secret score venue,
Speaker 1: secret court for this at the Vatican.
Speaker 6: Okay, no basketball, No, I don't know one of your handball. No,
Speaker 6: we'll tell you after the break. Squash, no rackebill, No.
Speaker 3: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 3: AM six forty.
Speaker 5: Well on Friday he started.
Speaker 1: Pope Lio did his first full day is pon Tiff
Speaker 1: with a Mass at the Sistine Chapel. Called his election
Speaker 1: both a cross and a blessing. He will be formally
Speaker 1: inaugurated a mass at Saint Peter's Square next wait, yeah,
Speaker 1: next week May eighteenth.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: He did appeal over the weekend yesterday at the Vatican
Speaker 1: for no more war.
Speaker 4: Oh, bless your heart. I think he's got that part down.
Speaker 1: Called for a lasting peace everywhere, but specifically war in
Speaker 1: Ukraine's he's firing, Gaza and the recent hostilities between India
Speaker 1: and Pakistan.
Speaker 4: Apparently he is well.
Speaker 2: There's been progress in all three of those fronts, So
Speaker 2: maybe he is true.
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe there's something to this guy.
Speaker 2: He did say he was deeply hurt by events in Gaza.
Speaker 2: He recited the You're gonna have to help me out here,
Speaker 2: the Regina Sali prayer in honor of the Virgin Mary.
Speaker 2: Is it the one that you you say.
Speaker 5: Which I go through a couple every day.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: The the inaugural Mass, by the way, you mentioned the
Speaker 2: inaugural The inaugural Mass takes place officially next Sunday, and
Speaker 2: they said that leading up to that, this is going
Speaker 2: to be a very busy week for the new pope,
Speaker 2: Pope Leo. He's got a bunch of simply learning the ropes,
Speaker 2: if nothing else, figuring out what papal responsibilities are laid
Speaker 2: out in front of him, where they keep the alien bodies,
Speaker 2: things like that, he's gonna have meetings with cardinals, the press,
Speaker 2: he's gonna hold prayer sessions, and then also thinking about
Speaker 2: appointments or any changes that he wants to make there
Speaker 2: in the leadership at the Vatican. They said it was
Speaker 2: the popes wish that the heads and members of the
Speaker 2: institutions of the Roman Curia, as well as the secretaries
Speaker 2: and the president of the Pontifical Commission for the Vatican
Speaker 2: City State continue on a provisional basis. Nobody's losing their
Speaker 2: job right now, is basically what it says.
Speaker 1: Pope Leo said in an interview a couple of years
Speaker 1: ago for a website. This was when Pope Francis gave
Speaker 1: Pope Leo his red cardinal's hat when he arrived in Rome.
Speaker 1: Pope Leo said in this interview, I consider myself quite
Speaker 1: the amateur tennis player. And in fact, if you head
Speaker 1: to the corner of Via Leone the fourth and a
Speaker 1: Via Vaticano and turn west about fifty yards, you will
Speaker 1: find up above if you look to the sky, at
Speaker 1: the top of the thirty nine foot high Vatican City Wall,
Speaker 1: the secret tennis court.
Speaker 4: Yes, but it's that high up on a wall. Well,
Speaker 4: it's secret. Oh, I guess you can't.
Speaker 1: It would be a bad look to see the Pope
Speaker 1: and the cardinals and the bishops and everybody playing tennis.
Speaker 2: It's funny, they say. This high netted fence sticks out
Speaker 2: above the wall. It's obviously not for protection or security purposes.
Speaker 2: It's if you mishit the ball so the tennis balls
Speaker 2: don't come raining down onto the heads of the people
Speaker 2: making their way through the Vatican. The Vatican City tennis court.
Speaker 2: Most people do not know what's there.
Speaker 1: The gardens in the area around the tennis court have
Speaker 1: been closed to the public for quite some time, but
Speaker 1: it has been there for quite some time.
Speaker 4: They say.
Speaker 1: The golden era of the Vatican tennis was in the
Speaker 1: late seventies, after the court was renovated. Even the cardinals
Speaker 1: got caught up in that first tennis boom of the
Speaker 1: modern era. A tournament of Friendship began in nineteen seventy eight.
Speaker 1: Giovanni Battista Ree, who became the Vice Dean of the
Speaker 1: College of the Cardinals, took the title. At the time,
Speaker 1: he was a priest who worked for the Secretariat of State,
Speaker 1: which performs the political and diplomatic functions for the Pope.
Speaker 4: That's funny, yeah, but.
Speaker 2: I would imagine this guy is a he's an American,
Speaker 2: so they're going to have to install some sort of
Speaker 2: a baseball diamond in there.
Speaker 4: Maybe they make a smaller one and it's a softball diamond. Perhaps.
Speaker 1: Well, I know you want the Pope to like baseball,
Speaker 1: but he says he's a tennis guy.
Speaker 4: You can't force the baseball. He's a White Sox fan.
Speaker 5: That's true, that's true, But I don't know if he plays.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 2: That's priestly. Tennis benevolence was a problem. Apparently they stopped
Speaker 2: winning when they open up the tournament to the employees
Speaker 2: of the Property Administration and then the children of the employees.
Speaker 2: So you've got seventy plus year old dudes out there
Speaker 2: running around with teenagers probably on that on that tennis
Speaker 2: sounds weird. Never mind, we'll just edit all the rest
Speaker 2: of that, right, so that doesn't have to go anywhere.
Speaker 1: Kind of just watered into that forest of hell, didn't you.
Speaker 1: I didn't even know where that path was leading. It's
Speaker 1: the it's the cloudy skies, you know. It affects us
Speaker 1: all very very differently. Of oxygen, a lack of oxygen.
Speaker 1: You mentioned baseball. Orioles beat the Angels seven to three yesterday,
Speaker 1: so the angel is going to go down to San
Speaker 1: Diego to take on the Padres tonight. The Dodgers yet
Speaker 1: again another big win, this one against the Diamondbacks eight
Speaker 1: to one. So they actually have the day off today
Speaker 1: before they host the A's tomorrow.
Speaker 2: You mentioned last week what an absolute craft sandwich Colorado Rockies.
Speaker 1: My brother says, oh, you guys won't believe what the
Speaker 1: Padres dude, Oh my gosh, Padres had a great day yesterday.
Speaker 1: And I was like, Okay, what did they do? They
Speaker 1: play the Rockies is something. He's like, yeah, who's like
Speaker 1: fifteen to one or whatever he said, And I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a Rockies.
Speaker 5: They've won six games.
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, but that's a And I was like, bro, nothing,
Speaker 1: you say about a Rockies game is gonna be surprising.
Speaker 4: They're seven and thirty three. They did win yesterday.
Speaker 5: I feel awful.
Speaker 4: Even after the win, they fired their manager.
Speaker 1: Okay, I just feel awful for people to go to
Speaker 1: work like that every day, Like, what is that like,
Speaker 1: putting your body, your future on the line, all the things.
Speaker 4: Training?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I mean yes, the competitive nature of it
Speaker 2: makes it very frustrating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just go to work and suck every day,
Speaker 1: suck at what you do. Hello, we make people happy
Speaker 1: that one woman said, she said that this show is
Speaker 1: a real job. It's different from other people, both jobs,
Speaker 1: but that we provide joy and I appreciate that. But
Speaker 1: there was one person who said that.
Speaker 2: But you can find others that said that this show
Speaker 2: should jump off the roof, right, Yeah, many like Bud Black,
Speaker 2: many many more.
Speaker 4: All Right, Hey, we got Motivational Monday coming out.
Speaker 5: Well, right in time, isn't it?
Speaker 1: It is right in time if you're if you're playing
Speaker 1: for the Colorado Rockies, gather around the old radio because
Speaker 1: we got.
Speaker 5: A segment for you. Yes, why are you giving me
Speaker 5: that face?
Speaker 4: I was just trying to figure out how we're gonna
Speaker 4: do it. How we're gonna choose which one we do? Oh,
Speaker 4: we'll figure out.
Speaker 3: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI

Speaker 2: at the end of this year.
