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 --> 00:00:11.599 on the iHeartRadio app. White House announced a baseline tear 4 00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:14.439 freid of ten percent going to effect on Saturday. The 5 00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:18.320 DOW has been down over fifteen hundred points at times today, 6 00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:22.480 S and P five hundred has been down over four percent. 7 00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:28.519 NASDAC been down over one thousand points at times. Story 8 00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:31.719 we are following for you. Thirteen year old boy who 9 00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:35.439 has reported missing over the weekend has been discovered. His 10 00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:40.280 body has been discovered in a wooded area in Ventura County, 11 00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:46.280 Oxnard yesterday. San Fernando Valley is where Oscar Hernandez is from. 12 00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:49.479 He was reported missing March thirtieth, like I said, on Sunday, 13 00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:53.359 failed to return home after visiting an acquaintance in Lancaster. 14 00:00:55.359 --> 00:01:02.119 They started investigating Laped's robber a homicide. Did They developed 15 00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:07.200 leads suggesting that they search an area a wooded area 16 00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:12.120 of Harbor Boulevard in Oxnard. We don't know about those leads. 17 00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:16.000 We don't know who they're looking at. But they did 18 00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:18.920 discover the body in the area that they were searching. 19 00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:24.040 His sister Alejandra says, my brother was one of those 20 00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:25.319 people who would greet anyone. 21 00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:26.760 He had no evil in his heart. 22 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:29.519 If he encountered anyone, he would have a conversation with 23 00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:34.200 them and be friends with that person. So again, we 24 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.599 don't know what led to this. They have suggested that 25 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.239 there may be a person of interest that they're working 26 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:44.640 to question in this situation. But thirteen year old boy 27 00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:48.959 body found yesterday afternoon. All Right, the popularity of these 28 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:54.280 electric scooters and electric bites is off the chain quite literally. 29 00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:56.480 You see them everywhere. 30 00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.519 I see them all the time on pch down there 31 00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:04.879 in an, Orange County, just droves of people too. And 32 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:08.840 in fact, the bike stores, the shops, the rental places 33 00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:12.520 are right there. They're in all the tourist areas, the hotspots. 34 00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:14.120 It's the thing to do right now. 35 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:15.240 And I get it. 36 00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:19.520 It's beautiful out there, especially in that area. Long Beach 37 00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:22.159 is another area where these are super popular. I mean 38 00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:26.039 they're popular everywhere, children and adults alike. And I've talked 39 00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:28.719 about it, how I've seen people on these scooters and 40 00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:30.719 bikes and I'm thinking, gosh, I got to get back 41 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:32.719 on my bike. That is a good workout. And then 42 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:34.879 I realize that they're not really riding their bike. It's 43 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:40.199 an electric bike, so maybe not for workout purposes, but 44 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:44.840 absolutely convenient. But there has been a huge uptick. And 45 00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:46.960 I've been waiting for this to happen, because how could 46 00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:50.240 it not If these things go forty five miles per 47 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:54.840 hour faster even, and kids don't have licenses for them, 48 00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.800 or they just don't care, or they're riding them just 49 00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:02.000 without abandon, with abandon or without abandon. I feel like 50 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:04.919 that's one of those things that routinely screw up. It 51 00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:08.280 feels like it should be without abandon anyway, there has 52 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:11.800 been a huge uptick in serious or deadly crashes involving 53 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.479 these things. There was a study published. Finally, the things 54 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.120 are being studied in this regard. There was a study 55 00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:22.639 published in the JAMA Network and they say that they've 56 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:26.479 tracked down e bike injuries back to when we had 57 00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:29.560 the onset of these things in twenty seventeen, very new. 58 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:33.319 In twenty seventeen, there were seven hundred and fifty one 59 00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:37.520 e bike injuries recorded. Those are ones where somebody fills 60 00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:41.120 out some paperwork, which would be rare with these things anyway. 61 00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:43.360 I mean, you know, we've all fallen off our bikes. 62 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.840 We've never filled out paperwork for it, so it's got 63 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.439 to be pretty serious. Seven hundred and fifty one, how 64 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.639 many do you think there were? Five years after that 65 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:56.879 seven hundred and fifty one. Five years later there were 66 00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:01.680 twenty four thousand. That speaks to a couple things, the 67 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.879 proliferation of these things and the whole without abandoned writing 68 00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:10.680 of these things. Injuries from riding eat scooters rose forty 69 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:16.319 five percent over that period. There are anecdotes now we're 70 00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:20.439 getting just over the weekend, Emiliano Flores eleven years old, 71 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.279 riding an electric scooter when he collided with a sedan 72 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:27.879 put in the hospital with serious injuries. Neighbor heard the 73 00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:32.519 crash outside her home, says that as soon as I 74 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:34.120 came out, I hear a little boy crying. 75 00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:35.839 And that's what it is. It's a little boy. 76 00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:39.279 It's an eleven year old who's given something with the 77 00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.160 ability to go as fast as a car, an eleven 78 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.600 year old. She says, I caught a glimpse of his 79 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.000 little face. It was so swollen it looked purple. His 80 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:53.279 eyes were swollen shut. There are a lot of people 81 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:55.399 who ride these things who don't know the rules of 82 00:04:55.439 --> 00:05:00.879 the road, let alone follow them. April First, couple days 83 00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:05.920 ago in Orange, two teenagers hospitalized with critical injuries after 84 00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.560 riding a scooter on the wrong side of the road 85 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:13.000 and crashing into a car. It is a growing problem 86 00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:17.800 throughout southern California. You're going to see people flooding the 87 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.639 city council meetings, police commission meetings asking for something to 88 00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:27.040 be done. The last time I checked, there is no 89 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.959 way to prohibit the riding of an e scooter or 90 00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:35.600 e bike in California. So they're going to have to 91 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:38.639 come up with some sort of loopholes when it comes 92 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.000 to putting in laws for this kind of thing. And 93 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:43.160 not to be a spoil sport, not to be a 94 00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:48.040 oh you're no fun, your grandma's no fun, but the 95 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.319 idea of an eleven year old riding something that goes 96 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:52.480 forty five miles per hour and not knowing the rules. 97 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.120 If you're eleven, how would you not want to ride that? 98 00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:58.920 If you're thirteen, whatever, you're a little boy, how would 99 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.800 you not want that. Of course you're gonna want that, 100 00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:04.959 and it's okay to have it. That's where the adults 101 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:05.720 need to step in. 102 00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:09.079 Like when I was growing up, we had quads, we 103 00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:13.959 had dirt bikes, and our parents always like had to 104 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:16.800 watch us on them. Like we would ride them throughout 105 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:21.839 the neighborhood and it was fun, but our parents were 106 00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:26.879 always there observing us because these are actual vehicles. And 107 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:32.600 just the other day, I was driving home and there's 108 00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:36.480 this hill and I'm making a right onto the street 109 00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:40.120 and this kid, and it's near a school on his 110 00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:43.839 e bike comes from nowhere and just takes the light 111 00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:47.240 on his e bike and it's like I had no 112 00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:49.879 time to react. Thankfully, I saw him ahead of time 113 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:55.279 and nothing happened. But it's scary, and it's scary for 114 00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:57.319 the kid and for you as a driver. I mean, 115 00:06:57.399 --> 00:06:59.360 imagine you don't see I mean, you hit that kid. 116 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.399 He dies, and you've got that on your conscious to 117 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:04.839 your whole life, even though you did nothing wrong. 118 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:07.480 Yeah, it's a bad combination of things. 119 00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:09.000 And you're right, I mean, that is one of the 120 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:12.399 great joys is being able to ride a quad or 121 00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:14.600 whatever when you're a kid and you don't have your 122 00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:16.759 license yet. And that was always the coolest thing when 123 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:18.759 I had friends with parents that had those. You go 124 00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:21.759 off roading and stuff. But you're right, You're totally right. 125 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.319 You were always supervised. There was always somebody in the 126 00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:27.319 vehicle or near the vehicle with you, not just okay, 127 00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:29.199 go have fun with your friends, go ride your e 128 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:30.800 bike down to the store or whatever. 129 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:34.240 And they were always and we were always taught the rules. 130 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:39.800 Yeah beforehand, it's crazy. Well you're old, clearly and zero fun. 131 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:43.879 Coming back next, we will talk about the sea lions. 132 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.399 The sea lions are getting a bad rap. Guys. They're 133 00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.560 not dangerous, they're not being violent. They're just poisoned. 134 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:53.720 We know somebody who has been having some encounters with 135 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:56.399 the crazy sea lions out here locally in the water. 136 00:07:56.560 --> 00:07:59.079 We'll talk to them when we return. 137 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:02.800 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI. 138 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:04.199 AM six forty. 139 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.920 New course at UCSB called Critical Heterosexuality Studies. It's basically 140 00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:15.120 a course about straight relationships. Why straight women continue to 141 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:19.279 go back for more is in the headline, and the 142 00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:23.560 sociologist that teaches the course is a lesbian. I was opining, 143 00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:27.279 that's interesting why she would talk about how life is 144 00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:27.959 so hard. 145 00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:31.000 For straight women, not being one of them. Anyway. 146 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:35.559 I've realized that I also am not completely equipped to 147 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:38.480 have the conversation. So we've decided to do a deep 148 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:40.679 dive on this story and bring in some gay guys 149 00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:43.519 coming up in the twelve o'clock hour to kind of 150 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:47.639 round out the conversation. So it's fascinating. It's the first 151 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.679 of its course, first of its kind course at UCSB, 152 00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:55.879 run by the Chair of Feminist Studies about why why 153 00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:58.120 straight women have it so bad in our world? And 154 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:00.840 I think it is a luxury to even ask that question. 155 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.000 All right, So sea lions, We've got a fifteen year 156 00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:09.080 old girl attacked by her during her swim test in 157 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:12.519 Long Beach by a sea lion. This is the latest 158 00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:15.480 in a series of stories of sea lions gone crazy. 159 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.080 Matt Money Smith down the hall. 160 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:22.200 Klac, host of the Petres and Money Show, the voice 161 00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:25.960 of your Los Angeles Chargers as well, joins me because 162 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:29.159 he plays in the water from time to time. And Matt, 163 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.159 I wanted to have you on and I know that 164 00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:34.759 you're a water rat and that you may have some 165 00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:37.519 sort of experience with these with these sea lions. 166 00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:38.720 Have you ever been attacked? 167 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:40.639 I have. And it's funny. 168 00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:43.039 As you were doing the intro about the UCSB course, 169 00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:44.279 you were like and We're going to have a couple 170 00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:45.120 of gay guys. I don't know. 171 00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:47.360 I think you Danna knows something about me that I don't. 172 00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.080 It's just what I'm coming on to talk about. 173 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.720 You're so more than welcome in a twelve o'clock hour. 174 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:56.600 It's like I wasn't prepared for this. I guess. See 175 00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:57.720 that's examination. 176 00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:00.960 See, that's how you know that you're a good radio 177 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:03.840 personality is because you're down for whatever. 178 00:10:04.279 --> 00:10:06.240 Like you were like, Oh, she's having me on to 179 00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:08.639 be a gay guy. Cool, I'm not dropping off the line. 180 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:12.320 I'm still here. Yeah. Sea lions. 181 00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:15.759 So there's it's a bummer, man. It's like it's been 182 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.639 a really big bummer the last month or so. The 183 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.679 first the first thing I saw was a kind of 184 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:26.399 like a pup a porpoise that was dead on the beach. 185 00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:29.200 That was actually kind of right around your area over 186 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:31.240 in the Sunset Beach area. That was probably about a 187 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.240 month ago, and I just maybe thought it was a 188 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:36.799 victim of an attack or something along those lines. And 189 00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:40.279 then we started seeing a lot of birds, pelicans, mud hens, 190 00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:42.240 kind of all of those sort of washed up on shore. 191 00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:44.360 And then we started seeing the sea lions. About three 192 00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:47.720 weeks ago. I saw the first one at Bolsa Chica 193 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:50.159 kind of in the jetty there, the South jetty sort 194 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:52.360 of between the very end of Bolsa Chica on the 195 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:55.039 south on the very north side of Huntington Beach there. 196 00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:59.559 And then I kind of had an encounter in the 197 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:03.879 water about two weeks ago. I was paddling out and 198 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:06.519 it was very I always go out early. I'm usually, 199 00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:07.840 you know, one of the first people in the water, 200 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:09.399 and so there were maybe two or three other guys 201 00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:12.600 out at the time, and as I paddled in, I 202 00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:15.000 kind of had heard this sort of snort behind me. 203 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:21.039 And what did it sound like, Matt, Yeah, like that a. 204 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:21.440 Little it was. 205 00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:23.720 It was maybe even a little more snarly, like you 206 00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:26.480 know than that there you go, there you go. Then 207 00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:28.360 you got it, but it's very loud, and it was 208 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:29.879 just kind of one of those startling things, and like, 209 00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:31.559 what was that? And I turned around and I saw 210 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:35.120 this sort of head just kind of I don't know, 211 00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:38.480 moving around in sort of a circular motion, like looking 212 00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:41.440 up and and I had remembered reading something about how 213 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:43.519 you know, when this demoic acid kind of gets into 214 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:45.600 these these sea lions that that's sort of how they behaved. 215 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:47.440 It's one of the side effects of it. And it 216 00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:48.960 was just kind of charging me, and. 217 00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:51.480 You know, did it take a bite? 218 00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.320 It did not take a bite, but didn't make. 219 00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.600 Them move to take a bite. 220 00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:58.519 I think it was probably pretty close to doing that 221 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:00.879 because it got Look they moved fast. Man, these things 222 00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:03.360 can cook in the water. And it got right up 223 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:05.840 next to me pretty quickly and popped its head out 224 00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:06.559 and was sort. 225 00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:08.720 Of right even, and I didn't know what to do. 226 00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:12.519 I was like, do I sit up? Do I I did? 227 00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:12.840 I was? 228 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:15.320 I did? 229 00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.279 I think it was probably something along the lines of like, 230 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:22.000 hey man, what are we doing? 231 00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:24.120 Like, you know, we're totally. 232 00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:30.879 Totally good reason with the sea lion, That's kind of. 233 00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:31.279 What it was. 234 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:33.360 And then I kind of got into the pack of 235 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:34.840 three or four other guys and then it just sort 236 00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:37.120 of turned around and because there's nowhere you can go, like, 237 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.360 it's you're just stuck, you know, which I'm sure what 238 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:41.759 happened to the girl that was doing her junior lifeguard test, right, 239 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:44.200 You're just stuck out there. It's like, okay, I can't 240 00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:46.960 I can't paddle further out. I can't paddle toward the shore. 241 00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:49.159 The sea lion is way too quick and it's going 242 00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:51.240 to get me no matter what. So let's just hope, 243 00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:54.000 you know, I can reason with it and be like, hey, dude, 244 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:54.840 we're good man. 245 00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.960 Is there part of you that wanted the story, like 246 00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:02.399 wanted the the line to take a bite, not something 247 00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:04.960 that would cripple you, but just for the story. 248 00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:08.759 As I said to Petro's on the show that day 249 00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:11.440 and shared the story with him, I was like, what 250 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:13.840 a great story for you, you know, what a bad story 251 00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:15.679 for me. It's like one thing to go down, you know, 252 00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.559 via shark or I just you know, rode this gigantic, 253 00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:21.279 freaking rogue wave that that pounded me into the shore 254 00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:22.200 and that was it for me. 255 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:25.159 But a sea lion, like that's that's not good. 256 00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:27.919 That that doesn't because you know they're people look at 257 00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.000 them like puppies, right, they're supposed to be, but they're not. Man, 258 00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:34.559 you got to be you do not want to engage. 259 00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:36.919 You know, I sent you that video from earlier two 260 00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:39.120 days ago. There was a and it's just it's so sad, man, 261 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.120 because they do have those sort of faces, right, these 262 00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:44.360 these cute animal faces, and this one was just so miserable. 263 00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:46.559 It couldn't really move, It was just moving its head around. 264 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:48.080 When are my dog? And I kind of came up 265 00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:51.480 upon at about six am and and. 266 00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:53.279 Yeah, just you know, they're sick. 267 00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:56.960 They they're confused, and I think that's kind of how 268 00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:58.600 And I was talking to the marine staying if I'm 269 00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:01.639 talking too much, just interrupt me. I was talking to 270 00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:03.360 the marine safety people because I called it in and 271 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:04.919 when they came out, they were like, yeah, this is 272 00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:07.440 definitely demoic acid. And I was like, well, it's it 273 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:09.159 going to survive and like, yeah, I think so. We've 274 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:10.840 just got so many of them right now, and it's 275 00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:13.120 really hard to kind of keep up with the the 276 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:14.200 numbers that are coming in. 277 00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:15.559 So it's a it's a huge bummer. 278 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:18.120 So when when does it go away? Is it a 279 00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:18.799 seasonal thing? 280 00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:20.120 Seasonal thing? 281 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:23.000 But this is far and away the worst I've seen. 282 00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:26.919 Every morning when we're walking on the beach, I see 283 00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:29.720 at least a bird, you know, a mudhen or something 284 00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:32.200 like that. One maybe two today, I think it was four. 285 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:36.360 And they like the angel of death out there, I know, 286 00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:37.840 right walking around looking at. 287 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:40.200 Dead animals and bringing your dog into it too. 288 00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:42.440 Well, the dog that's the problem. 289 00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:45.440 You know the dog like smells sure, so you know 290 00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:47.399 she wants to get in there and play with these things. 291 00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:51.759 Come on, let's keep it. 292 00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:53.759 Well, what I'm hearing is there still a chance that 293 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:56.200 you get eaten by a sea lion and if you do, 294 00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:57.960 Matt will love to have you back. 295 00:14:58.480 --> 00:14:59.759 Well, do you want me to have you back at noon? 296 00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:02.600 We come back on for the gay guy thing. Absolutely, 297 00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:04.080 twelve thirty five. We'll see you here. 298 00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:06.120 Thanks, Matt, you got a Channon. 299 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:11.000 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI 300 00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:12.120 AM six forty. 301 00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:17.480 Financial markets around the world reeling today following the latest 302 00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:21.679 and most severe news about tariffs. US stock market taking 303 00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:24.639 it the worst so far. S and P five hundred 304 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:29.720 down nearly four percent in afternoon trading, worst day, on 305 00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:32.919 track for its worst day since COVID in twenty twenty. 306 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:36.600 Dow down about twelve hundred points right now, Nasdaq about 307 00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:40.159 four point eight percent lower, So we'll. 308 00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:41.360 Keep an eye on that. 309 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:43.960 Probably not going to get better until we get some 310 00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:48.200 more news about potential backtracking off of this, or maybe 311 00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:51.480 a potential agreement that will be ironed out between the 312 00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:54.559 United States and other countries. When it comes to maybe 313 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.320 more reasonable tariffs also in Washington, and we'll get more 314 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:00.519 into this coming up after the new at the top 315 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:03.919 of the hour just a little bit. President Trump has 316 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:08.519 moved to fire several White House National Security Council officials, 317 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:12.840 taking action soon after he was urged to get rid 318 00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:17.240 of staffers that have been insufficiently committed to his make 319 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:22.919 America Great Again agenda. Apparently loyalty has been called into 320 00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:26.960 question there in the National Security Council department. 321 00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:28.120 So we'll talk about that. 322 00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:33.840 What could potentially have tipped off the president into disloyal troops? 323 00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:35.120 All right? 324 00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:38.519 Well, in the La Times there is an article about 325 00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:42.000 a death row inmate that has put up his journals 326 00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:46.559 and his art for sale eighty thousand dollars. And you're 327 00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:49.080 thinking to yourself, probably the way I thought to myself. 328 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:53.039 Wasn't there a law? Yes, yes, there was a law 329 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:56.519 that says when you kill a bunch of people, or 330 00:16:56.639 --> 00:16:59.879 at least, in Albert Jones' case, when you killed two people, 331 00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:04.400 you don't get to benefit financially from killing people. It's 332 00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:08.079 pretty much standard standard law and order in this country. 333 00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:12.119 Albert Jones found himself sitting in his cell on San 334 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:15.200 Quentin's Death Row in twenty twenty. He had been there 335 00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.000 for three decades, and he starts to get wind of 336 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:21.759 a little thing called COVID, And in the following months, 337 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:25.079 hundreds of death row inmates fell sick close quarters. We 338 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:28.599 heard all about this when it came to close living situations. 339 00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:31.000 It's why there were so many prisoners let out because 340 00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:35.000 of liability. When it came to COVID working its way 341 00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:38.400 through these tight living quarters, whether it's rest homes or 342 00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:42.839 prisons or what have you. By the end of August 343 00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:46.279 of twenty twenty, a couple thousand prisoners at San Quentin 344 00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:50.079 had fallen ill, staff members included. And through it all, 345 00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:55.200 Albert Jones kept detailed journals chronicling his anxiety over catching COVID. 346 00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:57.880 Now that's rich, isn't it. 347 00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:00.960 I'll get to what Albert Jones did to get on 348 00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:03.960 death Row in a minute. But he had anxiety over 349 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.200 catching COVID. He wrote at the start of the pandemic 350 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:09.440 in one of his journals, the world is on lockdown. 351 00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:12.400 The state is on full lockdown. The disease is spreading 352 00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:15.440 so fast. People don't know what to do. Staying in 353 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:17.640 their home, all they can do is watch on TV 354 00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:21.400 like me. Albert Jones wrote that summer in his journal, 355 00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:24.960 Scott was my next door neighbor for twelve years. 356 00:18:25.279 --> 00:18:26.359 We had just showered. 357 00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:28.920 The nurse gave him his meds and then they seen 358 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:30.799 how pale his skin was and. 359 00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:31.480 Loss of weight. 360 00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:34.559 So they took his oxygen level and it was sixty two. 361 00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:36.960 So they put him out of his cell, put him 362 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:40.519 on oxygen, rolled him off. Three days later he died. Scott, 363 00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:43.319 by the way, Scott sounds like a nice guy, right, No, 364 00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:49.799 Scott is Scott erksign. He is a rapist and murderer. 365 00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:53.599 Scott is anyway. Albert Jones a year and a half 366 00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:57.799 ago published a memoir he titled it I Survived COVID nineteen, 367 00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:01.680 one of his ten books, two of them collections of 368 00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:05.240 prison recipes by the Bye.
