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. It's terrifying. They're all listening. All
Speaker 1: the devices are listening. They all know everything.
Speaker 2: Hey, I have an answer about your Paul Skemes question
Speaker 2: in just a second. Heathrow Airport is closed. Will be closed.
Speaker 2: We do not have a reopening time. There was a
Speaker 2: fire at a substation that knocked out power to the airport,
Speaker 2: and over the course of the last several hours, the
Speaker 2: airport officials have said that they have bits and pieces
Speaker 2: of the airport back up and running in terms of electricity,
Speaker 2: but that does not mean anything about airplanes coming and going.
Speaker 3: As of right now, that place is going to stay shut.
Speaker 2: The plan the first time they said that they would
Speaker 2: reopen would be midnight London time, but even that might
Speaker 2: be that's sketchy. At this point, planes at least one
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty planes in the air around the world
Speaker 2: headed to Heathrow when they shut that down. At the point,
Speaker 2: they're saying that there is no indication of foul play,
Speaker 2: but everybody in Europe is on high alert because they're
Speaker 2: afraid that Russia is going to sabotage infrastructure. So until
Speaker 2: they come up with a decision or a conclusion, they're
Speaker 2: only saying that it is a suspicious fire at this point.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, I asked you about Paul skeens rookie card
Speaker 1: getting more at auction than he'll make this year on
Speaker 1: the mound.
Speaker 2: So Paul skiings picture for the Pirates, played for Air
Speaker 2: Force and then went to LSU and Pittsburgh made his
Speaker 2: debut last year in May for the Pirates and is
Speaker 2: a great picture. The card that was sold happens to
Speaker 2: be autographed by Paul Skeens and contained a patch that
Speaker 2: was on his jersey when he started when he debuted
Speaker 2: in the majors last year, so it was significant. They
Speaker 2: call it a one of one because there's no other
Speaker 2: allegedly there's no other card that has his autograph and
Speaker 2: that patch. But it's sold for one point one one Yeah,
Speaker 2: one point one one million after a two week auction.
Speaker 2: And like you said, he's only due to make about
Speaker 2: eight hundred and fifty thousand this season.
Speaker 3: Eight seventy five, eight seventy five. Don't want to skimp
Speaker 3: on that twenty five grand. He's gonna need.
Speaker 1: Exactly all right. So the field for governor for California.
Speaker 1: The last we talked about it was yesterday when I
Speaker 1: mentioned a straw pole that shul showed Mel Gibson having
Speaker 1: the majority of the support on the Republican side. Again,
Speaker 1: it's a straw pole, but I didn't even know that
Speaker 1: his hat was in the ring, and I don't know
Speaker 1: if it is. But then how did they come up
Speaker 1: with a name like mel Gibson. But there we are.
Speaker 1: On the Democratic side, You've seen another number of people
Speaker 1: want to seceed Gavin Newsom. Kamala Harris's name is at
Speaker 1: the top of that list. As we have talked about,
Speaker 1: she certainly has a name recognition in California. From my
Speaker 1: own independent personal research, I talked to Californi Democrats who
Speaker 1: love the idea of both Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 1: The mess of the campaign that some of us saw
Speaker 1: being run on the national level, they don't see, they
Speaker 1: don't care to see.
Speaker 3: They don't they don't equate.
Speaker 1: That with her viability as governor of California. I think
Speaker 1: they can do better as a party. I would hope
Speaker 1: they can do better with brighter minds than Gavin Newsom
Speaker 1: and Kamala Harris.
Speaker 3: But that's neither here nor there.
Speaker 1: The message to her now is either you're in or
Speaker 1: you're out, because we've got to get our campaigns going.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty six is going to be here tomorrow or yesterday.
Speaker 1: It's going to happen very quickly, and there's a lot
Speaker 1: of money that goes into these campaigns and if if
Speaker 1: she gets in, there's no doubt.
Speaker 3: About it, she'll win. She'll run away with it in California.
Speaker 1: So they don't want to waste all this money in
Speaker 1: the ramp up to their campaign if they don't have
Speaker 1: a chance.
Speaker 2: There's a weird thing going on with Kamala Harris in
Speaker 2: that she has not successfully proven that she is the
Speaker 2: candidate for the job since she ran for attorney general
Speaker 2: here in the state of California. She ran for president.
Speaker 2: Don't forget she ran for president and got stomped Joe,
Speaker 2: but they picked her.
Speaker 1: But the Democrats see her as the sacrificial lamb of
Speaker 1: the MAGA people. They they look at what happened to
Speaker 1: her with that campaign and that failure as well.
Speaker 3: We have to support her because Trump beat her.
Speaker 1: So she's taken on this vastly new popularity among Democrats
Speaker 1: that simply because.
Speaker 3: Of her victim.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, but she's and she's not proven herself. When
Speaker 2: Joe Biden stepped out, it just went to her. There
Speaker 2: was and we talked about what were the mechanisms that
Speaker 2: they could have employed to choose the successor for Joe
Speaker 2: Biden on the top of the Democratic ticket, and they
Speaker 2: punted every single option.
Speaker 3: They just said, it's just going to go to her.
Speaker 2: So she was she was crowned with with this without
Speaker 2: ever having to prove that she was.
Speaker 3: The best person for the job.
Speaker 2: And I think that that's what her her attitude is
Speaker 2: now that they're trying to call her out for now.
Speaker 1: When you're saying that, you're saying what the other Democrats
Speaker 1: who want to run for governor are thinking. They won't
Speaker 1: say it out loud, right, they'll think it. But the
Speaker 1: people who aren't thinking that are the people who are
Speaker 1: going to vote for the next governor of California. They
Speaker 1: do not think that way.
Speaker 2: They look at the list of and if you just
Speaker 2: concentrate on the Democrats that have announced that they will
Speaker 2: be running for governor for California next year.
Speaker 3: Antonio via Ragosa obviously right.
Speaker 2: We talked to him when we were at the convention
Speaker 2: in August about his plans. You've got Katie Porter, former congresswoman.
Speaker 2: She ran for Senate and lost, and.
Speaker 1: I can almost guarantee it's going to be a woman
Speaker 1: for California Democrats. They're going to intellect a woman, and
Speaker 1: if it's not Kamala Harris, it's going to be another.
Speaker 3: I just it's a vibe I'm feeling.
Speaker 1: I think they're pissed off that some of them think
Speaker 1: that she didn't win because she's a woman, and I
Speaker 1: just think that that's what's going to happen.
Speaker 2: Well, Katie Porter had specifically said that she would withdraw
Speaker 2: if Kamala Harris does get into the race. Then you've
Speaker 2: got Betty Yee, who was at one time the controller
Speaker 2: for the state. She was also the Democratic Party vice
Speaker 2: chair from twenty twenty one till today. She has said
Speaker 2: that she she said, our state cannot wait for the
Speaker 2: robust conversations we must have regarding our most pressing issues,
Speaker 2: and we deserve a candidate who is committed to tackling
Speaker 2: the problems that they face. But again, if Kamala Harris
Speaker 2: can just walk in to the top spot.
Speaker 3: That's what she's going to do.
Speaker 2: She's not going to subject herself to debates with people
Speaker 2: who have been doing these jobs. What do you know,
Speaker 2: how would she fare against an Alaney Cunilakus, who, as
Speaker 2: the lieutenant governor of this to California for the last
Speaker 2: several years, has at least the experience within Sacramento. Now,
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris does have Sacramento experience when she was Attorney General,
Speaker 2: and she knows California obviously because she was born and
Speaker 2: raised here and got rose through the ranks of the
Speaker 2: party here. But that's not enough to automatically crown her
Speaker 2: as the leader.
Speaker 3: She knows that.
Speaker 2: She's going to be the leader when she makes the announcement,
Speaker 2: And as much pressure as Antonio Viragosa or Katie Porter
Speaker 2: or Betty Ye or a Lady Kunilacus want to put
Speaker 2: on her, she doesn't feel it.
Speaker 1: Betty, Betty Yee has the credentials. I mean, Betty Yee
Speaker 1: is somebody who's California born and raised. I believe she
Speaker 1: worked under Gray Davis. I think she was the money person.
Speaker 1: She has a controller, yeah, she but I mean under
Speaker 1: Gray Davis.
Speaker 3: I think she worked first.
Speaker 2: Jerry Brown. I mean, was it Jerry Brown? She started
Speaker 2: in twenty fifteen, so I think that was Jerry Brown.
Speaker 2: I don't know, I have to were you a hear No.
Speaker 3: I think she She's been around much longer. I think.
Speaker 1: Listen, I don't know. I'm not completely well versed on
Speaker 1: the career of Betty E. But you give me Betty
Speaker 1: or Katie Porter, and that's not a hard fight for me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got plenty of time. Plenty of time.
Speaker 1: We're going to be talking to a candidate for governor
Speaker 1: coming out this show.
Speaker 2: One of the guys who has announced that he's going
Speaker 2: to running for governor, Stephen Klubeg.
Speaker 3: Is he a Democrat or a Republican Democrat?
Speaker 2: So we'll talk to him about this issue, among other
Speaker 2: things coming up in the twelve o'clock hour.
Speaker 1: Is he a California Democrat? Well, these are all questions
Speaker 1: I can ask.
Speaker 3: There we go, let's start writing them down so we
Speaker 3: know what to say.
Speaker 1: Sure, are you California Sober? Are you California Democrat?
Speaker 3: Where do you come to? Are you a five milligram Democrat?
Speaker 2: Or the fights now the gladiator fights at La County
Speaker 2: Juvenile Hall because of Chick fil.
Speaker 1: A we should find out if that's how weed comes in.
Speaker 1: What did you say, millimeter Pella Graham.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: By the way, yes, there are Republicans who are also
Speaker 2: running for governor in the state of California, but that
Speaker 2: specifically we're talking about the Democrats putting pressure on Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2: So we didn't forget Sheriff Chad Bianco. In fact, we've
Speaker 2: interviewed Sheriff Chad Bianco and announced that he is going
Speaker 2: to run for governor.
Speaker 1: On the MERP, weren't listing everybody running for governor. We're
Speaker 1: talking specifically about how the Democrats are telling Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: to es or get off the pot.
Speaker 3: I don't know why you're responding to crazy people. I
Speaker 3: don't know either. It is what you learned this week.
Speaker 2: It is Friday, so let us know what you learned
Speaker 2: this week on The Gary and Channon Show. You can
Speaker 2: send us a message on the talkback feature on the
Speaker 2: iHeart app. So when you're listening on the app, there's
Speaker 2: actually a little button. It's got a microphone on it,
Speaker 2: and you hit that button and it leaves us a
Speaker 2: quick message right here comes into the computer.
Speaker 3: Hey, you ever pee in a water bottle at work?
Speaker 2: And that's not for truckers, because we know talkers that
Speaker 2: you guys have leeway.
Speaker 3: Feed in a bottle in the car, have you? Yes? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean it wasn't a bottle that I peed in.
Speaker 1: It was a fast food cup.
Speaker 2: That's probably more appropriate, right, We at least have the it.
Speaker 2: It's easier, it's more directional for me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what.
Speaker 2: If you like Chick fil a breakfast? Kick the crap
Speaker 2: out of each other?
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's some follow up on. Remember we talked about
Speaker 1: the gladiator fights going on in La juvenile Halls, about
Speaker 1: how some of the the guards and the deputies assigned
Speaker 1: to Los Padrino's Juvie that they would essentially organize these
Speaker 1: fights for these kids and they would make wagers on
Speaker 1: it and it was a gladiator styled deal. Well, how
Speaker 1: did they reward these kids for victory?
Speaker 3: Or what? Have you? In and out?
Speaker 1: Jack in the box McDonald's Chick fil A?
Speaker 2: Now, hmmm, which one would you find for quick guests?
Speaker 3: Go around? Do we still have that somewhere lying around here? Okay?
Speaker 1: If you were having a nice little Friday, and you
Speaker 1: were told that you should beat the hell out of

Speaker 1: Loneliest people in places in the United States. Sounds nice,
Speaker 1: doesn't it?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 2: No, I mean nice as it does sound for for
Speaker 2: periods of time.
Speaker 1: I like the idea of alone time. I just know
Speaker 1: that I'm only good for so much a lot, like
Speaker 1: I absolutely need alone time. But after this certain amount
Speaker 1: of time, I I it's lonely.
Speaker 3: Is that for that? True? That's how that works? Coming
Speaker 3: up next hour? Water is wet. Sometimes, well, I'm all alone.
Speaker 1: I feel low, speaking of I was alone yesterday and
Speaker 1: I watched probably right Safer. I watched the Josh Hartnett
Speaker 1: movie Trap the Night shovel a Lam alone. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: loved it. I love Josh Hartnett. I'm so sad that
Speaker 1: he went away. I had such a crush on him.
Speaker 1: Early late nineties, early two thousands when he was in
Speaker 1: everything and then he went away and it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's back and he It was great. It was fun
Speaker 1: little ride. I enjoyed it. Somebody said I knew what
Speaker 1: it was going to be five minutes into the movie. Well,
Speaker 1: it was in all of the trailers that he's the
Speaker 1: guy they're looking for.
Speaker 3: That's not like something that's a big a moment. That
Speaker 3: wasn't the twist. No, you were supposed to know that,
Speaker 3: like five minutes in if that.
Speaker 1: Deborah used language last night that I I don't think
Speaker 1: I've ever heard her use that was tame.
Speaker 6: You should have heard what I was saying.
Speaker 3: Really, you text Jon last night? I did. I was
Speaker 3: you texts words that are not appropriate? I do. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you should hear what we talk about.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that, but I was curious as
Speaker 1: to because she was watching Devil and the Family, the
Speaker 1: Ruby Frankie story of the crazy YouTube mom that puts
Speaker 1: her kids' lives on YouTube, benefits financially from it, and
Speaker 1: then just takes it way too far into the land
Speaker 1: of absolute child abuse. And you wrote something about the husband.
Speaker 1: I was wondering because the husband in this and this
Speaker 1: show is very weak stream, low tee goes along with
Speaker 1: whatever the mother wants and kind of stood by and
Speaker 1: looked the other way, and at one point like moved
Speaker 1: out of the house while she was into her child
Speaker 1: abuse stuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was such a weenie.
Speaker 3: I mean he left while she was abusing the kid.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yes, he didn't see his kids for a year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because she told him like, you are not part
Speaker 1: of this family because you don't believe in all the
Speaker 1: things that I'm doing.
Speaker 3: And it was just Yeah, he's like.
Speaker 5: A puppy that's been kicked and over and over and
Speaker 5: over again and keeps coming back from more love.
Speaker 3: But you you seem to be angry at him.
Speaker 6: Yes, because I can't understand.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm a mom, right, so as a mom, I
Speaker 5: can't understand a parent just leaving and not speaking to
Speaker 5: your kids for a year.
Speaker 6: I mean he blocked his.
Speaker 5: Daughter, yeah, you know, on the on the phone and
Speaker 5: uh and he was such.
Speaker 3: A And then the son thing. Did you finish it?
Speaker 6: I did?
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's one point where he decides to talk to
Speaker 1: his son again and tells him to show up the house.
Speaker 3: Like it's all very odd. That whole thing is very odd,
Speaker 3: so odd.
Speaker 1: But the thing that I keep going back to with him,
Speaker 1: and which is why I don't have as much anger
Speaker 1: towards him, is because, like he says in the show,
Speaker 1: he's like this self professed nerd that she kind of
Speaker 1: molded into the husband she.
Speaker 6: Though grows some balls. Am I allowed to say that?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, yeah, okay, sure, balls all day?
Speaker 5: Okay, good? Yeah, I mean he just he I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: I mean, yes, she is far worse because she was
Speaker 5: the abuser. But that guy, I mean, I just found
Speaker 5: it so disgusting that he, even after she was thrown
Speaker 5: in jail, I still love her.
Speaker 3: I know that.
Speaker 1: When he says that at the end, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: there's something wrong with his mental estate. Yes, yes, whether
Speaker 1: that's Stockholm syndrome or what have you. The fact that
Speaker 1: he still loves her, it's like, are you insane?
Speaker 6: Absolutely?
Speaker 1: I mean I've had relationships where I said, I thought
Speaker 1: I was in love with somebody and they picked the
Speaker 1: wrong thing at dinner and the relationship was over and
Speaker 1: the love went out the window. I mean, come on,
Speaker 1: she abused your children and you're gonna still love her.
Speaker 6: You out of the house and you're okay with it.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just such a loser, just such a loser.
Speaker 2: I want to know what the wrong thing at dinner is, Like,
Speaker 2: what's the wrong thing to pick at dinner?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was making an exactly you had exam. You know,
Speaker 3: when you're young and you're in.
Speaker 1: A relationship and I love you, and then you break
Speaker 1: up over something stupid and you forget that person's name
Speaker 1: atally and he beat their children pretty much malnourished their
Speaker 1: children to the point of death, the mother did, and
Speaker 1: he still loves them, still loves her.
Speaker 3: Come on, I.
Speaker 6: Mean, seriously, I I can't. I can't.
Speaker 5: I mean, most of us normal people cannot relate to
Speaker 5: that on any level.
Speaker 3: But that's why we watch it on TV.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean because because it is such an outlier,
Speaker 2: because it's so.
Speaker 1: Foreign to us. Frightfully, yeah, thankfully. Are you going to
Speaker 1: watch Scamanda this weekend?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 6: I am am. I going to be really angry because.
Speaker 3: I yes, yes, you can't wait. The shows keep me
Speaker 3: in the loop. I have no life, Debrah.
Speaker 6: Obviously I don't either.
Speaker 3: Await your reactions.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, my god, Shannon, I just spit my
Speaker 1: monkey style fries all over my screen.
Speaker 3: Hilarious. I love you. Guys.
Speaker 2: I wonder if somebody is going to go to in
Speaker 2: and Out today and be like double Style.
Speaker 3: Even the people at in and OT are like, okay.
Speaker 1: Exactly, It's like Bob and the pickup line. He's like,
Speaker 1: I don't even I've only been here for three years.
Speaker 1: Is that something that predated He puts his handle on.
Speaker 2: The my Hey, Carl, is there something called monkey style
Speaker 2: that I don't know about? Of course? Of course, all right,
Speaker 2: we'll come back. We'll talk about this crackdown on poppers.
Speaker 2: First of all, what is a popper? Grandpa? We'll talk
Speaker 2: about that and more.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: Coming up on the show.
Speaker 1: Don't forget it as Friday, which means it is a
Speaker 1: what did you learn this week on the Gary end
Speaker 1: Shannon Show Friday?
Speaker 3: Spoiler alert? Don't look now. The Baylor's beating Mississippi State.
Speaker 3: I picked them. I picked them to win this game.
Speaker 3: You've heard Debra mention this.
Speaker 2: He Throw Airport says that flights will restart at about
Speaker 2: seven o'clock tonight London time. That's about eighteen hours after
Speaker 2: this substation fire shut down. One of the world's largest
Speaker 2: airports triggered global disruption. Of course, counter terrorism police are
Speaker 2: helping in the investigation. As of right now, the government
Speaker 2: says there are still plenty of questions to answer, but again,
Speaker 2: the flights would restart in London's Heathrow Airport at about
Speaker 2: seven o'clock PM London time, that's just about an hour
Speaker 2: from now. They've also told people check with your airline
Speaker 2: before you go, because this will take at least a
Speaker 2: day and possibly a few days to unentangle everything.
Speaker 3: That's gone wrong for the last eighteen hours.
Speaker 1: Postal workers are pushing back against their agency possibly being
Speaker 1: taken over by the Commerce Department, pissing off the postal workers.
Speaker 1: They spoke out against this change during demonstrations and a
Speaker 1: number of cities. Postmaster General Louis de Joy said, who
Speaker 1: wants to cut thousands of jobs and billions of dollars
Speaker 1: from the postal service budget?
Speaker 3: It's not good. Nope, not good. Not gonna do it because.
Speaker 1: Usually when I go to the post office, everyone's in
Speaker 1: such a great mood there, like it's just such a
Speaker 1: jubilant atmosphere. They're all so happy and the morale is
Speaker 1: at all time highs.
Speaker 3: All the time that Fantasy Land is I learned on
Speaker 3: the Gary Shannon Show. Nope, we're gonna do that later.
Speaker 2: Tell us what you learned on the Gary and Shannon
Speaker 2: Show by leaving us a talkback message, either on the
Speaker 2: app or if you are listening on one of those devices,
Speaker 2: you just say hey, Schmish MACSA send a message to
Speaker 2: KFI and that does the same thing.
Speaker 3: Wow, Gas Show is.
Speaker 5: Doing a Weekend Fixed.

Speaker 2: The Weekend Fix is a standalone podcast that has nothing
Speaker 2: to do with the live show that we do during
Speaker 2: the week right, completely new material which you have to
Speaker 2: subscribe to the podcast to get it. It'll show up
Speaker 2: as one of your subscriptions tomorrow.
Speaker 3: It's exciting.
Speaker 2: Stores up and down Santa Monica Boulevard have seen a
Speaker 2: crackdown on poppers. Gary Poppers are a chemical. It's commonly
Speaker 2: sold as nail polish remover, sometimes liquid incense, or VHS
Speaker 2: tape cleaner. Why wouldn't you inhale it if it was
Speaker 2: labeled those things?
Speaker 1: VHS tape cleaner, Yes, for one thing, do you know
Speaker 1: what a VHS tape is?
Speaker 3: There's that. I was more of a beta Max girl.
Speaker 3: Poppers the main ingredient.
Speaker 1: That's VCR versus Is it VCR versus beta max or
Speaker 1: hvhs Ah, But VCR was the actual thing the.
Speaker 3: Box that you put it in. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Interesting, Uh, they're The active ingredient in poppers is alkyl nitrate.
Speaker 2: It's a chemical that instantly dilates blood vase of blood vessels.
Speaker 2: When inhaled, it can produce a brief but intense feeling
Speaker 2: of euphoria.
Speaker 3: It also causes I'm gonna read directly from the time
Speaker 3: so that I don't get in trouble quote.
Speaker 2: It also causes a loosening of smooth muscle tissue, including
Speaker 2: the anus and effect that hasn't made it a staple
Speaker 2: of gay sextra generations.
Speaker 3: Do you think that would help with constipation? I have
Speaker 3: a friend. She can't drink enough water.
Speaker 1: She's of and complaining about constipation. I mean, we have
Speaker 1: fed her so much water through the years. Tell me
Speaker 1: more about this friend of yours. Oh, you know her?
Speaker 1: H And I actually just sent her every suggestion. No,
Speaker 1: I don't have that problem. Hm. I actually just sent
Speaker 1: her this morning a link to a grain juice that
Speaker 1: could help her. But uh, I'm just asking honestly, like,
Speaker 1: could that help with that.
Speaker 3: I guess I don't know, doctor, or is it just
Speaker 3: how does that work? Wait? You inhale something.
Speaker 2: You inhale loosens your butt, immediately dilates blood vessels and
Speaker 2: causes a loosening of smooth muscle tissue.
Speaker 3: That's interesting.
Speaker 1: So wait where else on your body is this tissue?
Speaker 3: It can't just be your bus It's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, correct, it's probably not just right your bottom.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to look it up.
Speaker 2: About a third of gay men have used poppers. That's
Speaker 2: about twenty percent, I should say, and about twenty percent
Speaker 2: have used them in the last three months. This is
Speaker 2: according to a report in the Journal of Psychoactive Drugs.
Speaker 3: There is some concern, some concern.
Speaker 2: Because Edward, a clerk at Circus Books and who said,
Speaker 2: it's a hit on the community.
Speaker 3: If that's taken out, they don't know what's.
Speaker 2: Next, as if to say, you've got to have something,
Speaker 2: and people looking for this kind of a drug will
Speaker 2: find some other drug to replace it that could potentially
Speaker 2: be even more dangerous.
Speaker 1: Wait, so what is dangerous about the poppers? Why are
Speaker 1: they going after this?
Speaker 3: Well, there have been all kinds of reasons.
Speaker 2: There was a theory that alkyl nitrates caused AIDS. Now
Speaker 2: it's been labeled a conspiracy for it's the sex that
Speaker 2: caused the AIDS. Well, now, you and I would think
Speaker 2: that would be more likely because I don't know how
Speaker 2: popular poppers were back in the early eighties mid eighties
Speaker 2: when AIDS was becoming a thing. The FDA has not
Speaker 2: answered questions about the raid that they've done to pick
Speaker 2: up these poppers, nor identify which other nitrite makers had
Speaker 2: been targeted. There was a bust on a company called
Speaker 2: Double Scorpio, among others. Interesting, but other players in that
Speaker 2: space have taken down their websites, replacing with banners saying
Speaker 2: and they no longer operate. Amyl nitrates emerged in the
Speaker 2: nineteenth centuries in early treatment for chest pain and asthma attacks.
Speaker 2: They were made as over the counter or I should
Speaker 2: say available over the counter in the sixties, and then
Speaker 2: eventually went back under prescription at the manufacturer's request, they said,
Speaker 2: after gay nurses helped popularize their recreational use, and then
Speaker 2: the amal was replaced by other alkyl nitrates sold under
Speaker 2: many names in still in different sex shops today.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say which stores are these available in
Speaker 1: I say stores up and down Santa Monica Boulevard. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know there's a lot of stores, so just sex stores?
Speaker 3: Are there? Just sex stores? Circus circus of books in.
Speaker 1: Circus West don't get anything at a bookstore these days.
Speaker 3: What's next? Are they?
Speaker 1: Is the government coming for our xxx boner bon or
Speaker 1: boner pills?
Speaker 3: Is that what they're gonna do.
Speaker 1: They're gonna they're gonna hold up a seven to eleven
Speaker 1: and take all of those away.
Speaker 3: You sound a little bit of feel well.
Speaker 1: I think it's unfair that they're only going after the
Speaker 1: gay sex uh, over the counterpills. Take away everybody's pills,
Speaker 1: that's what you want. No, I think I'm a libertarian.
Speaker 1: I think if you want your anus loosened by an inhalant, fine.
Speaker 3: You missed any part of our show, go back and
Speaker 3: check out. Isn't that why we live in America?
Speaker 2: That's why we live in America because everybody don't take
Speaker 2: today with that, not gonna do it.
Speaker 3: We'll do our swamp watch stuff.
Speaker 2: Also, what you learned this week on the Gary and
Speaker 2: Shannon Show, leave us on Nie.
Speaker 3: I learned about poppers and what they do to the anus.
