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. We are awaiting a briefing coming
Speaker 1: from Madison, Wisconsin with regard to this fifteen year old
Speaker 1: female shooter yesterday that killed two people, killed herself, six
Speaker 1: injured to remain in critical condition.
Speaker 2: The Dow is down almost three hundred points right now,
Speaker 2: and if it ends up this way, it's going to
Speaker 2: be the ninth straight day of negative numbers on the
Speaker 2: Dow Jones Industrial Average. If it does end negative today,
Speaker 2: it would be the first nine day losing streak for
Speaker 2: the Dow since the nineteen seventies. She had two hundred
Speaker 2: and fifteen points early today, it's now down to two
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty. The losing streak began the day after
Speaker 2: it closed above forty five thousand for the first time ever,
Speaker 2: just earlier this month. Even if it does go even
Speaker 2: if it ends down three hundred points day, it's still
Speaker 2: going to be up over forty three thousand, so still
Speaker 2: in some pretty amazing territory.
Speaker 3: What do you want to do? Swamp point? Okay, swamp
Speaker 3: is horrible. The government doesn't.
Speaker 2: Work man going to make us like a reality TV
Speaker 2: shooting wasn't bad.
Speaker 1: Noos always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C.
Speaker 3: Hey Joe, a.
Speaker 4: Town all too clearly built on a swamp and in
Speaker 4: so many ways.
Speaker 3: Still a swamp. A batch of my work.
Speaker 5: Nobody said, drained the swamp.
Speaker 6: I said, oh, that's so keeps you know that.
Speaker 3: They just a side note before we're get into d
Speaker 3: C stuff.
Speaker 2: They are expecting to do an update out of Madison,
Speaker 2: Wisconsin on yesterday's school shooting. So if that, if they
Speaker 2: bring us some information, we can probably get to that live.
Speaker 4: If we need to, well nothing, it sounds better. It
Speaker 4: just sounds better. I'm just keeping it on the top
Speaker 4: of my mind. I don't want anybody to feel like bad
Speaker 4: or thinking something.
Speaker 2: Here's a really deep cut in terms of the way
Speaker 2: our electoral process works. At state capitals around the United
Speaker 2: States today, presidential electors are casting their electoral votes. This
Speaker 2: would officially give a formalized I should say President elect
Speaker 2: Donald Trump the victory over Kamala Harris for the election,
Speaker 2: largely ceremonial, obviously, it's the next step in our process
Speaker 2: in the presidential election. I just remember that four years ago,
Speaker 2: people started thinking.
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, we do what when?
Speaker 2: And so mid December four years ago was a very
Speaker 2: important time. Now it's sort of just kind of playing
Speaker 2: off in the background, because when you vote on November fifth,
Speaker 2: or whenever you vote an election day, you're actually voting
Speaker 2: for a slate of electors that are committed to supporting
Speaker 2: your choice for president or vice and vice president.
Speaker 1: So they're calling the confirmation hearings Brett Cavanaugh two point zero.
Speaker 1: When it comes to Pete Haig, seth that the Defense
Speaker 1: Department nominee Pete Haig says planned to release a woman
Speaker 1: who accused him of sexual assault from a confidentiality agreement
Speaker 1: has set the stage from media circus.
Speaker 2: Do you he kind of had to do that, right,
Speaker 2: I mean, he kind of had to release her from
Speaker 2: a non disclosure agreement because if he continues it, it
Speaker 2: appears that he's got even more to hide.
Speaker 1: I didn't even know there was an NDA that was
Speaker 1: involved with this.
Speaker 3: He paid her off.
Speaker 1: I remember that, yeah, And I feel like when you
Speaker 1: pay someone off, it's not good. If there has to
Speaker 1: be an NDA in place, that's fire, if that's not
Speaker 1: just smoke.
Speaker 2: And I may have mischaracterized it when I said he
Speaker 2: paid her off. They reached a settler. Sure he paid
Speaker 2: her off. John Cornyn, Senator out of Texas, that I
Speaker 2: told him, hag Seth, it's going to be a miserable
Speaker 2: experience like Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing.
Speaker 1: I mean, Capitol police had to arrest dozens of people
Speaker 1: in the Senate office buildings back then, They had to
Speaker 1: escort senators as they walked through the halls. It was
Speaker 1: a mess. They said, it's going to be Kavanaugh on steroids.
Speaker 2: Cornyn is one of those guys who has become just
Speaker 2: through the course of his career, a leader when it
Speaker 2: comes to Republicans in the Senate. He says, they are
Speaker 2: open to confirming Pete Hegseth, but they want to go
Speaker 2: through the confirmation process. They're going to be looking for
Speaker 2: new information that may shed light on his fitness to
Speaker 2: lead the Pentagon.
Speaker 3: He says.
Speaker 2: They want the process to continue, and we'll respond to
Speaker 2: any new information that they get.
Speaker 1: Trump is meeting with the TikTok CEO shout Chew at
Speaker 1: mar A Lago. He did say he has a warm
Speaker 1: spot in his heart for TikTok Oh. He credited it.
Speaker 1: He credited the app for helping him win over young
Speaker 1: voters in the election.
Speaker 2: I think that's such an interesting and weird black and
Speaker 2: white thing to say. I like TikTok because young people
Speaker 2: voted for me. That was well, that's not the only
Speaker 2: reason that people voted for you. They saw you on TikTok.
Speaker 1: But if you can get more attention being spread amongst
Speaker 1: young people on TikTok, you get more FaceTime, you get
Speaker 1: more recognition, your top of mind, they're going to vote
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 3: I just is I don't though.
Speaker 1: TikTok voters are really worried about policy. I think they're
Speaker 1: more about entertainments.
Speaker 2: Entertainment as well celebration, some of them voting for the
Speaker 2: chaos that they'd like to see over the next few years.
Speaker 2: Trump's also supposed to meet with Ted Sarandos of Netflix
Speaker 2: today at mar A Lago. He's going to be meeting
Speaker 2: with Jeff Bezos tomorrow. That meeting with Bezos comes after
Speaker 2: a report that Amazon was going to donate a million
Speaker 2: dollars to the inauguration fund. Congress continues to move toward
Speaker 2: the stupid thing that we see every seems like three
Speaker 2: months now. The government funding cliff, leading lawmakers have zeroed
Speaker 2: in on a bipartisan funding compromise, but they can not
Speaker 2: reach this deal if they don't have a new plan.
Speaker 2: The government agencies are going to shut down just after
Speaker 2: midnight Friday into Saturday. So House Speaker Mike Johnson supposed
Speaker 2: to introduce a continuing resolution over the weekend to punt
Speaker 2: that deadline to three more months into mid March, but
Speaker 2: instead they've been fighting over money for farmers, funding for
Speaker 2: the Francis Scott key Bridge, the one that collapsed. Those
Speaker 2: projects could turn what was supposed to be a routine
Speaker 2: federal funding extension into a they said Christmas Tree decorated
Speaker 2: with lawmakers pet projects because everybody wants a piece of something.
Speaker 2: Before they agreed to get into passing this continuing resolution.
Speaker 1: Trump is suing a polster in Iowa, a retired polster,
Speaker 1: over a survey that showed Kamala Harris ahead.
Speaker 2: Well, so this is the one that showed Kamala Harris
Speaker 2: was ahead in Iowa by six points, I think is
Speaker 2: what it was, and it ended up being wrong by
Speaker 2: nineteen points because Trump won by thirteen in Iowa on
Speaker 2: November fifth, And his argument was it's.
Speaker 3: Such a flawed, flawed poll.
Speaker 2: They should have never published it, but that they published
Speaker 2: it in an attempt to alter the election. And if
Speaker 2: that's the case, they it seems like they angered the poll,
Speaker 2: the ballot people, ballid people, the voters. It angered them, voters,
Speaker 2: you know, ballot people. It angered the voters in Iowa
Speaker 2: enough to the point that they came out and voted
Speaker 2: overwhelmingly for Trump because they were pushing back against that poll.
Speaker 4: What.
Speaker 3: I don't know. She's retired.
Speaker 2: This is one of those things that I don't This
Speaker 2: is a frivolous thing that doesn't go anywhere. The thing
Speaker 2: that he you know, it got the fifteen million dollars
Speaker 2: settlement with ABC seemed to be a little bit had
Speaker 2: a little bit more meat on it.
Speaker 1: On Capitol Hill right now, the House Intelligence Committee is
Speaker 1: getting a classified briefing about the drones.
Speaker 3: We'll tell you what we know about that when we
Speaker 3: come back.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: Am six forty.
Speaker 3: Let's go live to Madison, Wisconsin.
Speaker 2: The police chief is Sean Barnes giving an update on
Speaker 2: yesterday's school shoot.
Speaker 7: Responded to the scene and or took calls for service
Speaker 7: within the City of Madison to allow us to focus
Speaker 7: on this tragic incident. Student reunification with their loved ones
Speaker 7: could not have happened as swiftly as it did without
Speaker 7: the assistance of SSM Health Dean Medical Clinic as well
Speaker 7: as the quick trip. Additionally, many people work well into
Speaker 7: the night and supported local restaurants community who came together
Speaker 7: and provided food and other logistical support for our team.
Speaker 5: Yesterday.
Speaker 7: We came together as one team, as one Madison, as
Speaker 7: one country, and we should feel incredibly proud about our response.
Speaker 5: I'll be providing some updates.
Speaker 7: At this time, but before I do that, I like
Speaker 7: to provide an important clarification. Yesterday, after looking at the
Speaker 7: computer aided dispatch system, it seems as if a call
Speaker 7: came from a second grader, it actually read the call
Speaker 7: came from a second grade teacher.
Speaker 5: That was a mistake.
Speaker 7: That's my responsibility, and I apologize and I clarify that
Speaker 7: today it did not come from a second grader. It
Speaker 7: read second grade teacher. I will also be providing several
Speaker 7: investigative updates from the eight PM briefing from last night.
Speaker 7: The Madison Police Department is committed to transparency and will
Speaker 7: continue to release information that can be used to.
Speaker 5: Improve public safety.
Speaker 7: This must be balanced against our commitment to the victims
Speaker 7: of this horrific crime and the need to do a
Speaker 7: thorough and complete investigation. As a result, I recognize many
Speaker 7: of you may have questions that I cannot answer at
Speaker 7: this time. I asked for you to keep the victims
Speaker 7: in your mind and respect their right to a thorough investigation.
Speaker 7: I also will not be taking questions at the conclusion
Speaker 7: of this press conference, but your pre submitted questions serve
Speaker 7: as the basis for updates that we're providing for you
Speaker 7: this afternoon. If your question is not answered, it is
Speaker 7: due to an ongoing investigation. Okay, we know a document
Speaker 7: has been widely shared on social media. At this time,
Speaker 7: we cannot verify its authenticity. We have detectives working today
Speaker 7: to determine where this document originated and who actually shared
Speaker 7: it online. At this time, we cannot verify the document.
Speaker 7: We asked that you not share the document or spread
Speaker 7: any information that may be false. Our department will provide
Speaker 7: an update on this document when we can.
Speaker 5: There are always signs of a school shooting before it occurred.
Speaker 7: Some of you have reached out about Rupnow's social media
Speaker 7: activity prior to yesterday's shooting. We're looking into her online activity.
Speaker 7: We're asking anyone who knew her or who may have
Speaker 7: insights into her feelings leading up to yesterday to please
Speaker 7: contact the Madison Area of Crime Stoppers. Again, anyone who
Speaker 7: may have known her or knew what she was feeling
Speaker 7: or going through at that time, please direct those those
Speaker 7: inquiries to Madison Area Crime Stoppers. That number is six
Speaker 7: oh eight two six six six zero one four or
Speaker 7: at P three.
Speaker 5: Tips, P three Tips.
Speaker 7: We will not be releasing specifics about these social media
Speaker 7: accounts at this time. Identifying a motive is our top priority,
Speaker 7: but at this time it appears that the motive was
Speaker 7: a combination of factors. Again, we cannot share that information
Speaker 7: at this time because we do not want to jeopardize
Speaker 7: the investigation and those who are currently cooperating with us.
Speaker 7: All patient status remain unchanged. The nine one one calls
Speaker 7: or the record of the nine one one Communications Center
Speaker 7: and their standing operating procedure is not to release documents
Speaker 7: in open and active investigations. Again, we are working to
Speaker 7: authenticate the documents that you see online that some are
Speaker 7: referring to as a manifesto, and as soon as we
Speaker 7: do that, we will let you know. Now the process
Speaker 7: for doing that is looking at original documents that may
Speaker 7: have been taken from the suspect's home, looking at information
Speaker 7: that may be on laptops or on computer to determine
Speaker 7: if this document originated from our suspect. Any disciplinary records
Speaker 7: would be under the purview of the school. Some of
Speaker 7: you have asked whether or not she was troubled, or
Speaker 7: whether or not she was troubled at school.
Speaker 5: We do not have those records. We are not the
Speaker 5: proprietor of those.
Speaker 7: On the question of bullying, we're talking to students to
Speaker 7: understand whether bullying was one of those multiple factors that
Speaker 7: I mentioned earlier. Some have asked if people were specifically targeted.
Speaker 7: Everyone was targeted in this incident, and everyone was put
Speaker 7: in equal danger. Today, numerous MMSD schools were targeted by
Speaker 7: false threats, often known as swatting. We're working closely with
Speaker 7: the Madison Metropolitan School District to determine where these originated
Speaker 7: and to investigate this call. We do not believe that
Speaker 7: there are any current threats to any Madison area schools
Speaker 7: and will continue to investigate these calls and any threats
Speaker 7: of violence as they come in. Let me be clear
Speaker 7: on this point. Making false threats is a crime, and
Speaker 7: we are working with the district attorneys to prosecute these
Speaker 7: crimes as information as gathered, and if we have to
Speaker 7: do that, we certainly will. I encourage all parents, all
Speaker 7: family members to talk to your loved one about this.
Speaker 7: We will determine where they originated. We'll use federal partners
Speaker 7: if we have to, and levy those charges as well.
Speaker 7: As we continue to investigate what happened yesterday. We're keeping
Speaker 7: the victims and their families in the front of our minds.
Speaker 7: We want to thank the countless people and organizations who've
Speaker 7: reached out to support them, as well as the Dane
Speaker 7: County Victim Witness Unit and the Dane County Emergency Management
Speaker 7: who provided direct support to the families to the Abundant
Speaker 7: Life Christian Academy. This is a hurting and haunting situation
Speaker 7: and the many survivors will need our continued support and
Speaker 7: we pledge to give them that in the days, months,
Speaker 7: and even years ahead. As a community, we must not
Speaker 7: allow violence or any act of violence to define us.
Speaker 5: We refuse to allow hate or destruction to win in
Speaker 5: this city.
Speaker 1: All right, we are going to pull away there from
Speaker 1: that press update in Madison about the fifteen year old
Speaker 1: female shooter yesterday that shawan and killed two people, injured
Speaker 1: six before killing herself. One of the big things about
Speaker 1: this story is the things that they keep getting wrong.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, in the original press conference yesterday that they held,
Speaker 2: they gave two different death tolls. One of them was significant,
Speaker 2: was more than double what it ended up being.
Speaker 3: And then this more.
Speaker 2: It was actually late last night that a police chief,
Speaker 2: Sean Barnes, said that the nine to one to one
Speaker 2: call came from a second grader, and he reiterated that
Speaker 2: point and said, I want you to think about that,
Speaker 2: it came from a second grade.
Speaker 1: Doubled down on it with nobody saying, actually, in the
Speaker 1: paperwork here it's a second grade teacher that made the call.
Speaker 2: Probably said this after that first screw up in the
Speaker 2: first press conference. Nobody interrupts me for any reason, even
Speaker 2: if I'm wrong. Okay, So then he gets it completely wrong,
Speaker 2: and then they say to him afterwards, Uh, you got
Speaker 2: that computer. They're completely wrong. Now here's the thing that
Speaker 2: has to happen immediately. Yeah, that kind of information has
Speaker 2: to happen immediately, and it may seem like a minor
Speaker 2: a minor point, the difference between a second grader calling
Speaker 2: nine to one one and a second grade teacher. It
Speaker 2: to me that's a major point, see.
Speaker 1: Even a bigger problem because he has led with emotion
Speaker 1: this entire time about gun violence and kids having guns
Speaker 1: and all of that. And that's a conversation to have,
Speaker 1: sure in this country. But it now makes it sound
Speaker 1: like you're trying to take a horrible situation and make
Speaker 1: it more horrible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and that you you're gonna lose argument, good will,
Speaker 2: You're gonna lose people who otherwise would listen to you
Speaker 2: on that topic. Again, not a whole lot of new
Speaker 2: information that came out of this news conference out of Madison, Wisconsin.
Speaker 2: I will say that the chief said that they are
Speaker 2: trying to track down this manifesto or what appears to
Speaker 2: be a letter that may have been written by the
Speaker 2: fifteen year old shooter where in which she praises other
Speaker 2: mass shootings and the perpetrators thereof, but also talked about
Speaker 2: her parents, described them as scum. So they said they
Speaker 2: have not yet been able to trek or verify the
Speaker 2: authenticity of that one. And then again the second major
Speaker 2: point was that it was not a second grader they
Speaker 2: called nine to one one. It was a second grade teacher.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: Coming up in the next hour.
Speaker 1: It is true Crime Tuesday. There is a restaurant tour
Speaker 1: from South Bay who is trying to earn paroles. So
Speaker 1: he's admitting, yes, I did cook my wife's body. I
Speaker 1: guess he feels like that's going to grease the skins honesty.
Speaker 2: Maybe massive earthquake hit the island of Vanawatu, causing widespread
Speaker 2: destruction in the South Pacific.
Speaker 3: The injury to begin.
Speaker 2: Arriving at hospital, unconfirmed reports of casualties. I saw as
Speaker 2: many as a half a dozen. A tsunami warning was
Speaker 2: called off pretty quickly, but apparently the US embassy there
Speaker 2: in Vanawatu suffered some significant damage from that earthquake.
Speaker 1: Would you like your Jeopardy question?
Speaker 3: Sure quick? I don't have the We'll do it later,
Speaker 3: all right, Okay.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to mention this. The White House wants
Speaker 1: to pass, wants Congress to pass federal excuse me, pass
Speaker 1: legislation that would give greater authority to federal, state, and
Speaker 1: local governments to address drones that fly in US airspace.
Speaker 1: And I mentioned this earlier. Why haven't the rules caught
Speaker 1: up with the amount of drones that people are allowed
Speaker 1: to operate in all hours of the night worldwide?
Speaker 2: Not just commercial drones, Yeah, not just the ones that
Speaker 2: you find at costco, the kind that would otherwise be
Speaker 2: intended to kill us.
Speaker 3: Yeahs should have that in place right now.
Speaker 1: Today members of the House Intelligence Committee will receive that
Speaker 1: closed door briefing on drones from the FBI, CIA and
Speaker 1: the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. John Kirby
Speaker 1: said today, we need to do better. We need to
Speaker 1: better handle the growing ecosystem of drones in US airspace,
Speaker 1: and that's going to be Congress that passes something. I
Speaker 1: don't know why this wasn't addressed. I mean, we started
Speaker 1: talking about drones twenty years ago, right. I think I
Speaker 1: got my nephew who's twenty five a drone when he
Speaker 1: was like five, and he's really good at it now,
Speaker 1: and now he's in New Jersey somewhere.
Speaker 2: We told multiple stories between the two of us in
Speaker 2: opportune places where we've had to expend bodily waste.
Speaker 1: Well, when you're a news reporter, it's gonna happen to
Speaker 1: you whether you like it or not. You're gonna have
Speaker 1: to go to bathroom outside.
Speaker 3: You have to be resourceful. You have to find some
Speaker 3: new spots.
Speaker 1: Steve Gregor used to carry a big gulp cups in
Speaker 1: his truck.
Speaker 2: Yeah, multiple probably he still does, just in case, Just
Speaker 2: in case. The people who brought you Liquid Death bottled water,
Speaker 2: it's actually canned water. But the Liquid Death water company
Speaker 2: has collaborated with the Depends brand of adult incontinence products
Speaker 2: to bring you the seventy five dollars pit diaper to
Speaker 2: allow you to go to a concert and stay in
Speaker 2: the pit without having the need to leave.
Speaker 3: For your nation.
Speaker 1: This became a topic of conversation because in San Francisco
Speaker 1: there was a Sabrina Carpenter concert and it was at
Speaker 1: Chase Center, and this was last month where a woman
Speaker 1: was filmed urinating in the middle of the crowd. It
Speaker 1: went viral on TikTok. She has seen squatting on the
Speaker 1: floor while the performance continues around her. Crowd reacted with
Speaker 1: a mix of shock and disbelief. Some people posting photos
Speaker 1: with signs that read I got peed on in the
Speaker 1: pit to see Sabrina m.
Speaker 3: It sounds like fun.
Speaker 1: If I've got to wear a diaper, I'm just not
Speaker 1: going to go because, you know what, it's not just
Speaker 1: like it disappears you're sitting in it.
Speaker 2: You're sitting in it, and I don't care how absorbent
Speaker 2: the pit diaper is. It promises to keep you dry
Speaker 2: and comfortable with leakproof technology and odor neutralizing.
Speaker 3: Material sitting in your urine.
Speaker 2: It also comes with adjustable waste and hip sizes and
Speaker 2: rock and roll inspired details like black pleather, metal stuff, uds,
Speaker 2: and chains.
Speaker 3: And they are selling it and in fact selling out.
Speaker 2: In twenty four hours, they sold out of their first
Speaker 2: release of pit diapers.
Speaker 3: We should try it, we should get one, No, and
Speaker 3: we'll put you in it.
Speaker 2: Why me?
Speaker 1: Because it it looks like it's for men, even though
Speaker 1: it was a woman that peeded. It looks like a speedout. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you don't wear brief cuts cut never mind, no,
Speaker 1: but I mean I guess it would fit underneath. It
Speaker 1: just looks pretty sturdy, like you'd wear it alone without
Speaker 1: pants on top.
Speaker 2: Well, in that case, that guy is wearing it alone.
Speaker 2: You mean the cut off black T shirt that doesn't
Speaker 2: even cover his belly.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's wearing that all by itself. I don't know
Speaker 2: if you'd be in a pit and you saw that
Speaker 2: guy and you'd be like, I want to stand next
Speaker 2: to him.
Speaker 1: I'd have to have pants that are much bigger if
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wear a pit diaper underneath.
Speaker 3: And they don't get much bigger than those.
Speaker 2: Did you ever see the Saturday Night I commercial for
Speaker 2: the Oops I Crapped my pants brand? Now, two older people,
Speaker 2: Grandma doesn't want to play tennis because you know, she's
Speaker 2: still not fully in control of her of her bowels
Speaker 2: at that point.
Speaker 5: Here we are.
Speaker 3: It's Oops, I craped my pants.
Speaker 1: Oops, I crapped my pants.
Speaker 3: I've heard of those?
Speaker 1: Do they work?
Speaker 5: Oops?
Speaker 3: I crapped my pants up performed every bladder and battle
Speaker 3: control product from the market today. Here let me show you.
Speaker 3: I imagine this picture of ice tea is really a
Speaker 3: gallon of your pieces.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 7: You know, a super thick fluff counter allows for maximum
Speaker 7: observincy without leaking.
Speaker 3: I'm impressed. Oops, I crap my pants can hold a
Speaker 3: lot of duma.
Speaker 5: Oops I craped my pants. Are biodegradable. That's good for
Speaker 5: the environment.
Speaker 3: How do you know so much about oops?
Speaker 1: I craped my pinions.
Speaker 5: I'm wearing them and they just did.
Speaker 2: It's one of the absolute classic Saturday Night Oh my god,
Speaker 2: because I'm wearing them and I just did it.
Speaker 4: Did.
Speaker 3: That's great? All right, Gary Channon, We'll.
Speaker 1: Come more poop Humer.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: Am sixty.
Speaker 1: I smell chicken nuggets?
Speaker 3: Do you smell them?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: I feel like I can smell them.
Speaker 3: You have a very powerful sense of suggestion. Yes, I do.
Speaker 1: I was just reading about Taco Bell adding chicken nuggets
Speaker 1: to menus nationwide starting in two days. They said, Taco
Speaker 1: Bells crispy chicken nuggets will feature tortilla breading and be
Speaker 1: served with three sauces including I have no idea, including
Speaker 1: the first ever hidden Valley fire ranch.
Speaker 3: Oh that sounds good.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The other dipping sauces include bell Sauce and Jullapeno
Speaker 1: honey mustard. I love sauces like I love dipping sauces.
Speaker 1: I like a selection of dipping sauces.
Speaker 3: I like to switch it up.
Speaker 1: I think you should be able to get all three
Speaker 1: dipping sauces. Just like you know, one nugget, you try
Speaker 1: one dipping sauce, and then you're onto the next nugget
Speaker 1: and the next dipping sauce.
Speaker 3: That's Chick fil A right there for you. They'll give
Speaker 3: you as many as you want.
Speaker 1: You're damn right.
Speaker 3: I don't know if Taco Bell will do that.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they'll do that either, but it's
Speaker 1: worth a try.
Speaker 3: You can continue to let us know what your favorite
Speaker 3: chicken tender, chicken nuggets.
Speaker 1: Are, Chicken tenders, chicken nuggets, or chicken strips, chicken spears on.
Speaker 3: There's a place. I think it's Long John Silver Shannon.
Speaker 5: Great show as usual if you can find one.
Speaker 7: Long John Silvers chicken planks for sure, best plank, hands
Speaker 7: down chicken.
Speaker 5: Chicken planks. Long John Silvers.
Speaker 3: That guy kind of sounds like Cole Hauser.
Speaker 1: You know, people are very serious about their chicken. Apparently
Speaker 1: I found a copycat Long John Silver's chicken planks recipe.
Speaker 2: I love those coppycat recipes. When you were out and
Speaker 2: doing the dancing thing, Okay, you know a million years
Speaker 2: ago when like dance clubs, dance club the party itself
Speaker 2: didn't start and I hated it.
Speaker 3: I hated it.
Speaker 1: I'm an early Yes, I'm an early person. I was
Speaker 1: like the one that would get there at like nine
Speaker 1: and have the whole dance floor to myself.
Speaker 3: You get there early enough, you didn't have to pay
Speaker 3: the cover. There's that too, You as a girl, probably
Speaker 3: didn't have to pay the cover.
Speaker 1: Ever, did you ever go to that dance club that
Speaker 1: was on the way. It was right near the the
Speaker 1: the studios at kfbk arden Way area, and it had
Speaker 1: a light up dance floor. You probably didn't think because
Speaker 1: you already had kids and stuff. No, I didn't kiss,
Speaker 1: you didn't have Oh you went from Sacramento to Seattle.
Speaker 3: I wasn't any fun. But oh so that was the
Speaker 3: I don't remember that.
Speaker 1: It was like a disco club, and I forget the
Speaker 1: name of it. It was in that art and area,
Speaker 1: and me and my girlfriend used to go there and
Speaker 1: I just loved that light up dance floor. But we
Speaker 1: get there early, and yeah, the things don't start popping
Speaker 1: until midnight, eleven midnight. And I was never a late night,
Speaker 1: stay out late person.
Speaker 3: There were some friends.
Speaker 1: Unless I was at a rave till five in the morning.
Speaker 3: Well, that was different. It's different. Probably hopped up on
Speaker 3: some stuff, right.
Speaker 2: Laura Beginsky and Susie Lee got together again after their
Speaker 2: thirty year high school reunion. Hadn't seen each other in
Speaker 2: a long time and sort of rekindled this friendship and
Speaker 2: they talked about their careers and talked about being moms
Speaker 2: and their lives, and they said they totally missed going
Speaker 2: out and they're both you know, late forties, early fifties.
Speaker 2: They totally missed going out, hanging out, dancing, having a
Speaker 2: good time with their friends because nobody wants to do
Speaker 2: that before eleven o'clock at night anymore. And they're just
Speaker 2: out of it. And they said, listen, we want to
Speaker 2: be in bed by eleven because we got s to
Speaker 2: do in the morning. And that is actually the tagline
Speaker 2: for this new club that they started, called the Early
Speaker 2: Birds Club.
Speaker 1: I feel like they could have had a cooler name
Speaker 1: for it. The Early Birds Club sounds like the early movie. Yes, Yes, Bingo.
Speaker 2: Next month, it's supposed to be coming to LA. They've
Speaker 2: done it in Chicago, they've done it in New York,
Speaker 2: and this is where they'll basically do a club takeover early.
Speaker 2: So they started in Chicago, at a dive bar called
Speaker 2: the Burlington that sounds delightful, blinding snowstorm, and it's still
Speaker 2: about one hundred people show up, many of them they
Speaker 2: don't even know, and they're just ready to dance and
Speaker 2: sing with their friends. A cousin who goes by the
Speaker 2: DJ h bomb handle handled all the soundtrack, playing eighties
Speaker 2: new wave, et cetera, nostalgic pop records, female empowerment songs.
Speaker 1: They said, it's not it's my fight song, go on hello.
Speaker 3: They said, this is not a scene. Come as you are.
Speaker 1: You can wear sequins if you want, but you can
Speaker 1: wear pajamas with ugs. Don't wear heels. You're going to
Speaker 1: be in too much pain. There'll still be people in
Speaker 1: heels there. So Early Birds Club will host its first
Speaker 1: La parties January tenth at the Sardine in Sampedro. What's
Speaker 1: a hotter name the Sardine or the Berlin? Okay, the
Speaker 1: Virgil near Silver Lake on January eleventh. Admission is forty
Speaker 1: dollars or just have your friends over and dance in
Speaker 1: your kitchen.
Speaker 5: You could do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's probably cheaper that way than renting out a
Speaker 2: full club like that.
Speaker 3: It's going to get money.
Speaker 1: We should do that to your house. What do we
Speaker 1: turn it into a club? Takeover early birds party if
Speaker 1: you're not there by five forty five?
Speaker 3: The party starting with the bow.
Speaker 2: They said that in this current climate, this is where
Speaker 2: you start to lose me a little bit.
Speaker 3: This can't just be fun. Oh god, okay to come
Speaker 3: with a message.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in this current climate, a space like this feels
Speaker 2: even more essential and almost political now, which we never
Speaker 2: meant for it to be. Now it feels that way
Speaker 2: as an act of resistance.
Speaker 1: See it sounded cool and then you had to work
Speaker 1: politics into it and spaces as women.
Speaker 2: Aren't allowed into clubs anymore? Or wait, they still are
Speaker 2: so weird? First we give them the right to vote?
Speaker 4: Is it?
Speaker 5: Sorry?
Speaker 1: You're going to get in trouble and I don't want
Speaker 1: my fingerprints on that crime scene.
Speaker 3: It's not just women though, right? No, Well, I will
Speaker 3: say this.
Speaker 2: They said that it is a joyous dance party for
Speaker 2: middle aged Ish women, non binary and trans people who
Speaker 2: want to go out but also.
Speaker 3: Want to be in bed.
Speaker 1: See men being invited to this?
Speaker 3: Nope?
Speaker 2: No, well let me ask you this as a person
Speaker 2: of that ilk, a woman in one of those categories, right,
Speaker 2: woman adjacent? Right, would you say that men were the
Speaker 2: ones that ruined those clubs?
Speaker 1: No? I went there to meet men, you did? Yes?
Speaker 3: Interesting? Interesting, so would you? Okay?
Speaker 1: But now in the current but I'm also binary in
Speaker 1: the autumn, right.
Speaker 3: You are binary? Okay?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 2: Right, yes, I'm trying to remember how. Yes, I'm picturing
Speaker 2: the genderbread person right now, and yes you are the
Speaker 2: binary sounds delicious in this current stage of your life. Though,
Speaker 2: if you were to go out dancing, you would either
Speaker 2: go with your husband or you'd go out with girlfriends.
Speaker 2: You wouldn't go out scoping for men. No, and my
Speaker 2: husband would not be caught dead dancing.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 1: So binary is relating to composed of or involving two things.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, woman, male, female? That would be.
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean I like no, No, just you're one
Speaker 1: of those two different things. I don't understand that word.
Speaker 1: Would you like to have your jeopardy question now?
Speaker 3: Bodies of water for.
Speaker 1: Six hundred dollars in this frigid region, Russia's Lena River
Speaker 1: rises near Lake by Coal and flows over twenty seven
Speaker 1: hundred miles north to the laptev Z.
Speaker 3: I have no, I have no idea pick an area.
Speaker 2: In Russia, Moscow, Saint Petersburg, a desolate area Siberia.
