Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty, The Gary and Shannon Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: The Treasury secretary pick from President elect Trump Scott Bissentz,
Speaker 2: a money manager notably had been working with George Soros
Speaker 2: for a long time. Is given about fifteen million dollars
Speaker 2: of political costs to political cosses over the last few years,
Speaker 2: but all but three hundred thousand of it has gone
Speaker 2: two Republicans. In fact, he gave a million dollars to
Speaker 2: the inaugural Fund back in twenty sixteen. Was not really
Speaker 2: part of the first campaign or the first term, but
Speaker 2: apparently has been friends with Trump for a couple decades,
Speaker 2: close friends with the President Elect's late brother Robert, which
Speaker 2: is how they were introduced in the first place.
Speaker 1: Well, good for the New York Times because they're highlighting
Speaker 1: what is an issue for Democrats, and I think that
Speaker 1: a lot of times Democrats want to put their head
Speaker 1: in the sand and or their their fingers in their
Speaker 1: ears and go la la, la la la, I can't
Speaker 1: hear you, instead of focusing on where you're going wrong.
Speaker 3: I mean, the writing was on the wall.
Speaker 1: In twenty sixteen that they were focusing on the wrong things.
Speaker 1: You kind of thought that they would course correct and
Speaker 1: they didn't. And now you're losing a massive voting block
Speaker 1: in Latino voters in this country that they're pissed off.
Speaker 1: There are people that came to this country illegally but
Speaker 1: then paid taxes and paid their debt to society or
Speaker 1: what have you, and raised families and have played by
Speaker 1: the rules.
Speaker 3: And then you know.
Speaker 1: You had the latest administration basically open up the borders
Speaker 1: for asylum purposes. You had all these people cutting in
Speaker 1: line with the blessing of the Democrats.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The New York Times ties at least part of it
Speaker 2: to a push in the nineties against illegal aliens undocumented immigrants,
Speaker 2: and they referred to Prop One eighty seven from Governor Wilson,
Speaker 2: the effort to try to restrict benefits, and a lot
Speaker 2: of people in the mid nineties because of that said
Speaker 2: they would never go Republican again, despite their generally conservative views.
Speaker 2: They wanted to vote Democrat after that because Democrats were promising, Hey,
Speaker 2: we won't do that to you. We'll give you all
Speaker 2: of these things, we'll find a pathway to citizenship, we'll
Speaker 2: protect your families, etc. But for two decades nothing has happened.
Speaker 2: They have not passed comprehensive immigration reform. And I'm not
Speaker 2: saying that Democrats are responsible for that specifically, but they
Speaker 2: had promised that they would do it, and they never
Speaker 2: delivered on that. And then, according to at least the
Speaker 2: guy that was interviewed for this New York Times article,
Speaker 2: Jose Perez Gomez, lives in Fresno, eventually made furniture, enough
Speaker 2: money to buy a house, open a brick and mortar store,
Speaker 2: send a couple of kids to college, a productive member
Speaker 2: of Fresno society, he says, after two decades of them promising,
Speaker 2: never delivering, and then you get the crunch of the economy. Recently,
Speaker 2: he's like, I couldn't wait around anymore. I could not
Speaker 2: wait around for promises to go unfulfilled even longer, he.
Speaker 1: Said, friends and relatives who spent decades toiling in the fields,
Speaker 1: paying taxes, with no legal pathway.
Speaker 3: Suddenly in one.
Speaker 1: Year, millions of people come in with all the rights
Speaker 1: without having contributed anything to the country.
Speaker 3: So a lot of people, he says, field defrauded.
Speaker 2: And one of the things that we've seen is there
Speaker 2: there are some people in the Democratic Party who, post
Speaker 2: mortem after November fifth, are saying loudly, hey, we screwed up.
Speaker 2: We got to stop concentrating on social issues that don't
Speaker 2: matter and get down to we are the party of
Speaker 2: the worker, or however they want to put it, because
Speaker 2: there are people who feel left behind by the Democratic Party,
Speaker 2: and this is kind of.
Speaker 1: A racist thing when you think about it, which absolutely
Speaker 1: I don't want to use that word because I feel
Speaker 1: like it's comes with a lot of It comes with
Speaker 1: a lot. But when you think that all Latinos in
Speaker 1: this country want this, you are putting everyone.
Speaker 3: In the same group.
Speaker 1: And that's not the way it is not with any
Speaker 1: any specific person of any color or lack of color.
Speaker 3: You cannot loop people.
Speaker 1: In and think they are all thinking the same and
Speaker 1: they're all voting the same and everyone wants the borders
Speaker 1: thrown open because I'm Latino, like that is?
Speaker 2: That is awful well, and maybe racist because of the
Speaker 2: negative connotation is not the right term, but it is
Speaker 2: race based.
Speaker 4: That mentality is race based.
Speaker 2: I mean even Marcia Connan is the vice chairwoman of
Speaker 2: the Fresno County Democratic Party, quoting here from the New
Speaker 2: York Times struggling to understand why Latinos were not more
Speaker 2: concerned about Trump's recent promises to conduct mass deportations and
Speaker 2: possibly use the military to do so, because that's not
Speaker 2: what it That's not what would happen. Yes, I know
Speaker 2: he used it in a slogan for his rallies to
Speaker 2: fire up the base and eleven million people and deport
Speaker 2: him tomorrow. It's physically impos possible for him to do that.
Speaker 2: And maybe the Latino voters that you have been pandering
Speaker 2: to for twenty years understand that, or they're at least
Speaker 2: in the belief, like is mister Perez Gomez that he's
Speaker 2: been here for twenty five years, he knows he's way
Speaker 2: down the list of potential deportations based on what Trump
Speaker 2: has been saying.
Speaker 4: So that's the New York Times version. The LA Times.
Speaker 2: Also has an article today talks about how some farmers
Speaker 2: were big Trump backers, not the immigrants, but the farmers
Speaker 2: themselves who hire, in many cases undocumented workers to do
Speaker 2: the work in the fields and the orchards and things
Speaker 2: like that, and that this is now going to cause
Speaker 2: a problem for them finger quotes because the farmers are
Speaker 2: not going to have laborers to deal with, and the
Speaker 2: La Times version of this article, it's much more of
Speaker 2: a pitch for reforming the H two A visa program,
Speaker 2: which is basically the seasonal world program that allows people
Speaker 2: to come in as long as you have a specific timetable,
Speaker 2: and then whoever comes in on an H two A
Speaker 2: visa is also dependent upon the boss for food, for housing,
Speaker 2: for the safe working conditions, And the La Times wants
Speaker 2: to say that the current setup for an H two
Speaker 2: A visa program is a program or sorry, is a
Speaker 2: recipe for exploitation, because then it's simply the farmers that
Speaker 2: can choose to provide good accommodations or bad accommodations because
Speaker 2: they're taking advantage of which this system, which is still
Speaker 2: very legal, the H two A visa system, but just
Speaker 2: kind of a funny look at the two different versions
Speaker 2: of that same issue of in California's Central Valley, you
Speaker 2: had farmers and laborers voting for Trump in many cases,
Speaker 2: and that blew up some people's heads to think that
Speaker 2: that was possible.
Speaker 1: Hell, the Menandez brothers are going to appear in court
Speaker 1: via zoom, albeit in court for the first time in
Speaker 1: twenty eight years, and they could if their sentence is
Speaker 1: reduced to a voluntary manslaughter, they could get paroled immediately.
Speaker 1: Coming up on that hearing in December eleventh. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about that when we return. As people wait in the
Speaker 1: halls for their lottery chance to get into.
Speaker 2: This hearings, seen out in front of that courthouse is
Speaker 2: a little embarrassing, ridiculous.
Speaker 5: Happy Monday, guys, Shannon, just give Garrett the thirty five bucks.
Speaker 5: I mean nothing says I love you, or I like
Speaker 5: you or your good friend like money?
Speaker 3: Can I do say?
Speaker 4: Can I just a nice week? Happy Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1: Can you just give me money my way out of
Speaker 1: coming up with something thoughtful to.
Speaker 4: Get you me?
Speaker 3: Will you take the cash?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Oh no, I don't need the cash. I need to
Speaker 2: know what you think of me. It was worth a try. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I appreciate it. It's good thought though. Monday Night football.
Speaker 3: Monday Night.
Speaker 1: Oh, this is the game everybody had circled when the
Speaker 1: schedule came out for a couple of reasons. It's the
Speaker 1: Harba Bowl, of course. Jim Harbaugh John Harbaugh, facing off
Speaker 1: the third time in their careers. The two of the
Speaker 1: most competitive people on the planet grew up shared the
Speaker 1: same room for sixteen years. They have been competing and
Speaker 1: they're best friends, and so it'll be fun to watch.
Speaker 1: It was fun to watch and learn about when they
Speaker 1: faced off last time in the Super Bowl ten years ago.
Speaker 1: They're in New Orleans, the Ravens coming out ahead of
Speaker 1: forty nine ers on that one. So again there will
Speaker 1: be a very tense Jack and Jackie Harbaugh probably here
Speaker 1: in the stands tonight. This is also two teams that
Speaker 1: will be in the postseason, so it's kind of a
Speaker 1: strong AFC battle here tonight. So it's going to be
Speaker 1: a treat for everyone to watch.
Speaker 2: Some breaking news out of Washington, d C. Special Council
Speaker 2: Jack Smith is moving to dismiss the federal election interference
Speaker 2: case against President elect Trump because of the long standing
Speaker 2: Justice Department policy that bars the prosecution of a sitting president.
Speaker 2: But sixteen months after that grand jury first indicted him
Speaker 2: over his alleged efforts to unlawfully overturn the results of
Speaker 2: the election, Smith asked US District Judge Tanya Chukhan today
Speaker 2: to throw out the case ahead of the inauguration. Earlier
Speaker 2: this month, you remember, the judge had canceled all of
Speaker 2: the remaining deadlines in this case because Jack Smith said,
Speaker 2: I need some time to figure out the circumstances determine
Speaker 2: if there is any sort of appropriate case going forward.
Speaker 2: So again, as of this morning, Special Council Jack Smith
Speaker 2: moves to dismiss the federal election interference case against President
Speaker 2: elect Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Did you know that the Mennonite faith is named after
Speaker 1: Menno Simons.
Speaker 4: I did not know where the name came from.
Speaker 1: The Meno Simons was a Dutch priest who left the
Speaker 1: Catholic Church to embrace Anabaptist theology. The Anabaptists were a
Speaker 1: radical group that rejected infant baptism, that only those who
Speaker 1: publicly profess their faith and Jesus should be part of
Speaker 1: the church.
Speaker 3: I love you Jesus.
Speaker 2: There's only about a half a million Mennonites here in
Speaker 2: the United States, but they could probably they could field
Speaker 2: a couple of football teams with that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they are they're sturdy people. Seems
Speaker 1: like a kind of an antiquated thing, doesn't it Like
Speaker 1: it was a religion, a sect from long ago.
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe maybe I don't know enough about them. I
Speaker 3: don't either.
Speaker 1: So there was a line outside the Van Nuys Courthouse
Speaker 1: this morning in the six o'clock hour for people to
Speaker 1: get in on the lottery. If you got there between
Speaker 1: eight and nine, you were handed out lottery tickets, these
Speaker 1: read tickets to determine who would get to sit in
Speaker 1: the sixteen seats that have been set aside for the
Speaker 1: public in this status hearing in which the menendas brothers
Speaker 1: are not even in the courtroom.
Speaker 2: It's it's at your point, it's a status hearing. This
Speaker 2: is not exciting, it's not brand new information, and none
Speaker 2: of that stuff is coming up today. Ann Bremner is
Speaker 2: a longtime defense attorney and she was on CNN this
Speaker 2: morning explaining it's going to be kind of boring.
Speaker 6: The judge today has to basically decide to say, will
Speaker 6: that date work for the new prosecutor will that date
Speaker 6: work for everybody else concern and what's going to happen.
Speaker 7: There is going to be a request for a manslaughter
Speaker 7: where they'd walk out the door. Would it be a
Speaker 7: request to read sentence on homicide without special circumstances? That
Speaker 7: would be life with parole as opposed to without parole.
Speaker 7: They would go before a parole board and maybe be
Speaker 7: set free. There's all kinds of possibilities in this case,
Speaker 7: but it certainly has changed with.
Speaker 4: The new DA, and she's referencing the new DA.
Speaker 2: Nathan Hockman, of course, will be sworn in take office
Speaker 2: to Simbirth. Third, Yeah, so if this case was supposed
Speaker 2: to be the eleventh.
Speaker 1: Right, so, I mean he's already reviewing it obviously, But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that's the option. Either they don't go forward
Speaker 1: requesting that they voluntary means that they're out. They could
Speaker 1: be out on December twelfth, They could be out later
Speaker 1: on on December eleventh, depending on how the procedural stuff
Speaker 1: works and how long it takes, because they've already served
Speaker 1: more than enough time to satisfy that voluntary manslaughter sentence.
Speaker 1: If it's life with the possibility of parole, then they're
Speaker 1: eligible for parole. Then it goes to the parle board
Speaker 1: and the whole bit, and they get to talk about
Speaker 1: what angels they are inside for the past twenty eight years.
Speaker 1: By the way, Lyle's wife has filed for separation because
Speaker 1: of that affair.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she actually wrote on Facebook that she and her
Speaker 2: husband have been separated for a while, and she clarified
Speaker 2: that they're still best friends.
Speaker 1: And family. Okay, she said, I can always separated. I
Speaker 1: mean he lives in a different place.
Speaker 2: Yes, I continue to run his Facebook pages with input
Speaker 2: from him, and I am forever committed to the enduring
Speaker 2: fight for Lyle and Eric's freedom, as has been so
Speaker 2: evident over the years. She says, I will continue to
Speaker 2: update you all on the progress of the case because
Speaker 2: I believe we all have the common goal of seeing.
Speaker 4: The guys walk free. I will never stop fighting for them.
Speaker 1: Was this the one that was hooking up with the
Speaker 1: twenty one year old girl from England?
Speaker 3: Or was that the brother?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: This was Lyle, Yeah, having the affair with the with
Speaker 2: the twenty one year old, which is I'm lost at
Speaker 2: how much access he has to women.
Speaker 4: I don't understand.
Speaker 3: Are you kidding?
Speaker 2: Well, no, no, I'm not saying that women don't want him,
Speaker 2: because there are plenty of crazy ladies out there. No
Speaker 2: offense to these smart and sane ones, but there are
Speaker 2: plenty of crazy ones out there.
Speaker 3: My question is have they complex if they want to
Speaker 3: save them?
Speaker 4: Right? Absolutely?
Speaker 2: But is he actually consummated this affair with this twenty
Speaker 2: one year old woman?
Speaker 1: I believe when you're not eligible for parole you don't
Speaker 1: get conjugal visits.
Speaker 4: I don't think.
Speaker 3: I don't think they've had sex with anybody, any of these.
Speaker 4: Women, well, not with women.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go back to the Ray Lopez
Speaker 1: rule twenty eight, but we're all thinking it.
Speaker 4: Rule twenty eight. It's like rule three.
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 4: Way to the list.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we don't even want to get into what
Speaker 1: rule twenty eight the Ray Lopez book would be. Yeah,
Speaker 1: people serving life without parole are not eligible for conjugal
Speaker 1: visits in California.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's just having an emotional affair with this woman.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean, or maybe there's like letter and
Speaker 1: email sexy times.
Speaker 4: So he's having literary affair with this woe.
Speaker 1: I kind of like that idea, don't you like going
Speaker 1: back to the old days of writing steamy letters.
Speaker 3: You know, before.
Speaker 1: Jet travel and other things like Captain like the notebook.
Speaker 4: Okay, now you're going too far.
Speaker 3: That's too Yes, that's a beautiful story.
Speaker 4: I didn't say it wasn't.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of correspondence there.
Speaker 4: He's trying to make me cry and that's not going
Speaker 4: to happen.
Speaker 1: I liked this headline today about the super volcano.
Speaker 3: Did you see this?
Speaker 1: No, The headline is super volcano show signs of waking up,
Speaker 1: which would plunge the world into chaos.
Speaker 3: Okay, I was like, sign me up.
Speaker 4: Where is the super volcano?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 3: I didn't click on it.
Speaker 4: Ah, you're just waiting for it could be anywhere.
Speaker 3: Well, I thought we could just tuck it away for
Speaker 3: strange science.
Speaker 2: Isn't there there's super volcanos like in Yosemite or something
Speaker 2: like that that we're waiting for.
Speaker 3: It's essentially a volcano on steroids.
Speaker 1: A super volcano, a massive volcanic system capable of producing
Speaker 1: eruptions thousands of times more powerful than a regular volcano,
Speaker 1: catastrophic effects on the global climate and environment.
Speaker 4: I'm listening.
Speaker 1: Yes, Yellowstone one of the most famous yellow volcanoes.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 2: Big breaking news is that Special Counsel Jack Smith is
Speaker 2: asking to dismiss the federal election interference charges against Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: The motion seeks to dismiss this case without prejudice, acknowledging
Speaker 2: the Justice Department policy generally prohibits prosecuting a sitting president.
Speaker 2: If the judge does that, it does leave open the
Speaker 2: possibility because it's without prejudice. Does leave open the possibility
Speaker 2: that prosecutors could again bring charges after he leaves office
Speaker 2: or after the White House term is over, but legal
Speaker 2: experts said it's possible that once he's in office, he
Speaker 2: could pardon himself, which would be crazy. But again, we're
Speaker 2: waiting for the super volcano, so anything can happen.
Speaker 1: He has super volcano, just so everyone can be aware,
Speaker 1: is the Sulfatara crater in Italy. But it wouldn't just
Speaker 1: have impacts locally, but for all of us, everybody living
Speaker 1: on Earth.
Speaker 8: We were right by the way you guys hit it
Speaker 8: right in ahead with this. Why we voted Republican. My
Speaker 8: wife's illegal. I voted for Trump. My whole family voted
Speaker 8: for Trump. We've been waiting for over twenty years for
Speaker 8: loss of change. The Democrats have promise and promise and nothing,
Speaker 8: you know, So we're kind of tired of that and
Speaker 8: that too. Just because we're not, you know, doesn't mean
Speaker 8: we want open borders, and that's what the Democrats don't understand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of what those the articles were pointing out.
Speaker 2: So mathematically. According to a documentary that was made about
Speaker 2: four years ago called the World's Most Identical Strangers, it
Speaker 2: is estimated.
Speaker 4: That you.
Speaker 2: Have at least seven dopal Ganger matches somewhere in the world.
Speaker 1: I feel like that number goes to about fifteen hundred
Speaker 1: and change. When I'm in Orange County. I feel like
Speaker 1: everybody looks we all look alike, all look alike, we
Speaker 1: all look alike. It's bizarre or maybe just like a
Speaker 1: couple of things off, maybe just a couple of tweet
Speaker 1: it's like a twilight zone. Though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there is this, you know, recurring trend of celebrity
Speaker 2: lookalike contests that have been taken over the internet.
Speaker 4: They're not new. We've seen these before.
Speaker 2: People are trying to figure out exactly why we're seeing
Speaker 2: them again. Somebody suggested it's not necessarily a vestige of
Speaker 2: golden era of Hollywood, where we were doing Charlie Chaplin
Speaker 2: and Shirley Temple lookalike contests. One guy actually says that
Speaker 2: this is something we believe here in the twenty first century,
Speaker 2: that biology isn't destiny, and that our current society is
Speaker 2: defined by the idea that you could potentially do anything
Speaker 2: and be anything you want to be. Well, yeah, if
Speaker 2: your genes lined up in such a way that you
Speaker 2: look like Jeremy Allen White or Harry Styles without ever
Speaker 2: having done anything to be close to them or know
Speaker 2: them or be related to them.
Speaker 4: I guess you could be whatever you want to be.
Speaker 1: People get very territorial about these contests. There was a
Speaker 1: woman on X wrote I went to the Zaan Malik
Speaker 1: competition today, and no one will ever compare to that
Speaker 1: man's face card.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Okay, people are mad at them.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: People get territorial over the people that they love in
Speaker 1: the land of celebrity.
Speaker 4: And then what do you do with it?
Speaker 2: I mean, we had a couple of guys that looked
Speaker 2: exactly exactly like Maverick and Ice from Top Gun down
Speaker 2: a Huntington beach that was wild, and they make a
Speaker 2: lot of money doing that because they I mean, their
Speaker 2: jeans lined up perfectly. Granted they looked like nineteen eighty
Speaker 2: six Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer, but they killed it,
Speaker 2: they crushed it, and they made money at it. There's
Speaker 2: a guy that's in this article who is a David
Speaker 2: Beckham tribute act. What do you do as a day
Speaker 2: David Beckham tribute act?
Speaker 3: You work out?
Speaker 2: Is that all you work out in front of people
Speaker 2: on stage and.
Speaker 3: I just you would have to work out all the time.
Speaker 2: Well, there's also that, but he said, usually if you're
Speaker 2: a double like that, it's smooth sailing. Until David Beckham
Speaker 2: gets thrown out of the game against Argentina during the
Speaker 2: ninety eight World Cup and everybody hates him and this
Speaker 2: guy and his friend who portrays Victoria Beckham because she
Speaker 2: looks like her. Apparently they were in a lot of trouble.
Speaker 2: They were getting death threats from half wits.
Speaker 1: Do you remember when we met Tom Cruise and Goose
Speaker 1: and I said to you that would be exhausting to
Speaker 1: live with, Like who are.
Speaker 3: Those people behind that? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like what would make you want to do this for
Speaker 1: a living, pretending to be somebody else? It's got to
Speaker 1: come with a host of things.
Speaker 2: That is a quality that I think you have that
Speaker 2: not everybody does, which is the desire to know what's
Speaker 2: going on downtown, not just out in the suburbs, that
Speaker 2: you see everybody acting in a certain way at a
Speaker 2: certain event or such and such. It's that you want
Speaker 2: to see how did they get to where they are and.
Speaker 4: What does their normal day look like?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean we have what did they like
Speaker 3: around the dinner table.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: We had a we had a show Heyo Tani lookalike
Speaker 2: contest hosted by the Japanese American National Museum, and the guy,
Speaker 2: Joseph Ma was one of several contestants chosen as the
Speaker 2: winner by an audience. He won seventeen dollars and a
Speaker 2: prize from the gift shop. I don't know how big
Speaker 2: he is physically, but I mean his face, his haircut,
Speaker 2: everything does look like Shoho tani wow. And I almost
Speaker 2: think that depending on how famous the person is, that
Speaker 2: you look like you could be in trouble. That could
Speaker 2: be a problem. People start mobbing you while you're at
Speaker 2: the grove or something like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like if you look like Lindsay or something circa
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven.
Speaker 4: The old Lindsay Loan or the new Lindsay Loan.
Speaker 1: God, I remember having to cover her court stuff and
Speaker 1: just the mob of people that those hearings would attract.
Speaker 8: It.
Speaker 1: It really drives home the point that you do not
Speaker 1: want to be famous. You do not want to be famous.
Speaker 1: Imagine not being able to go to the market or
Speaker 1: restaurant without people mobbing, staring at you, like super Goldfish
Speaker 1: syndrome of just being in a bowl and people's watching you.
Speaker 2: And then people call their friends and you're like, he's
Speaker 2: here right now, he's on Aisle seven.
Speaker 1: Like, yes, you want to be successful and make money,
Speaker 1: but in terms of fame, oh that's that does not
Speaker 1: look like a fun life.
Speaker 2: Here's the question I think is at what level is
Speaker 2: that when you know you've made it is when they
Speaker 2: start doing lookalike contests for you.
Speaker 3: But what does that even mean that you've made it?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 2: I mean, Glenn Powell is an example. Anybody over the
Speaker 2: age of probably thirty five would scratch their head and say,
Speaker 2: who the hell is Glenn Powell.
Speaker 3: He's a gad that's been in everything recently right recently?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The one that I most recognized him from was Top
Speaker 2: Gon Maverick.
Speaker 4: But he was also in something with Sidney Sweeney called
Speaker 4: Anyone But You.
Speaker 3: Yes, that was good. He was in The Good.
Speaker 2: He was in the New Twisters movie that came out,
Speaker 2: but they helped.
Speaker 1: Him in that movie where he played a different a
Speaker 1: bunch of roles, right like he was played a different
Speaker 1: a bunch of different personalities in Hitman.
Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, And on November twenty fourth, that's yesterday. A
Speaker 2: lookalike contest held at the Auditorium Shores Park in Austin, Texas,
Speaker 2: and the judges were his mother and his aunt.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's funny.
Speaker 2: He couldn't appear in person because he's actually filming a movie,
Speaker 2: so that's funny.
Speaker 1: The fourteenth annual KFI Pastathon is here. Jeff Bruno's charity,
Speaker 1: Katerina's Club, provides more than twenty five thousand meals every

Speaker 1: One of my favorite Harbob Brothers moments in history. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: So Dad Jack had this competition, because it was always
Speaker 1: a competition between Jim and John Harbaugh and Dad Jack
Speaker 1: had this competition.
Speaker 3: Of who could get me a beer fast enough.
Speaker 1: The kids would have to run down to the basement,
Speaker 1: open up the fridge, grab a beer, pop it close
Speaker 1: the fridge, run back up the stairs.
Speaker 2: And have it in Dad's hands and don't spill a drop.
Speaker 1: Jim had the record at twenty six seconds. John was
Speaker 1: trying to beat that during the nineteen seventy Stanley Cup
Speaker 1: Finals between the Bruins and the Blues, and so John
Speaker 1: takes off to get the beer and what happens in
Speaker 1: that moment. It's the Bobby Orr flying goal. He missed it,
Speaker 1: and years later Bobby Orr signed a picture of that
Speaker 1: freeze frame of him in the flying in the flying
Speaker 1: goal and said, next time, John, forget the cheese and crackers.
Speaker 1: Because John maintains that if he just got the beer,
Speaker 1: he would have made it back and seen the flying goal,
Speaker 1: but that he stopped because his dad wanted cheese and
Speaker 1: crackers as well.
Speaker 2: I just love that. That's a great story. It's a
Speaker 2: good thing to have a dog. You can teach a
Speaker 2: dog to get a beer too. I don't think they
Speaker 2: can crack it.
Speaker 3: Open for you, but can your dog get you a beer?
Speaker 2: My dog can't reach the fridge, I know, I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't even I'd have to set it out on
Speaker 2: the cool garage floor for him to go grab it.
Speaker 1: Lacks the arm length, Yeah, that's going to be a
Speaker 1: problem struggle.
Speaker 2: Also the arms. He doesn't have arms right, right. So
Speaker 2: there's that the breaking news out of DC. We'll talk
Speaker 2: more about it we get into swamp watch some of
Speaker 2: the details of it. But Special Counsel Jack Smith is
Speaker 2: asking the judge to dismiss the federal election interference charges
Speaker 2: against President elect Trump. This motion seeks to dismiss the
Speaker 2: case without prejudice, which means if the judge agrees, it
Speaker 2: could leave open the possibility that they do in fact
Speaker 2: try him again, could bring charges once he leaves office again.
Speaker 2: So but that's something that's going on now. We've talked
Speaker 2: a little bit about this in that first hour. There
Speaker 2: is a Reddit user who went on a round about
Speaker 2: her younger sisters Thanksgiving Day list of demands. She the
Speaker 2: thirty two year old, said, I've hosted Thanksgiving for my
Speaker 2: family every year since I moved into my house five
Speaker 2: years ago, and it's always a little messy and chaotic,
Speaker 2: but that's part of the charm. This year, my sister
Speaker 2: decided she wanted to help bring some order to the
Speaker 2: gathering and revealed a family code of conduct list. She
Speaker 2: said there is a rule against overlapping conversations at the table,
Speaker 2: with suggestions for taking turns like a respectful debate club,
Speaker 2: and a ban on political or controversial topics, with the
Speaker 2: sister as the final arbiter of what is off limits
Speaker 2: what would be too heated. This twenty nine year old
Speaker 2: also wants to see a dress code of smart casual
Speaker 2: because holiday photos should reflect well on the family and
Speaker 2: to sign seeding that she claimed was based on optimal
Speaker 2: optimal personality compatibility, and that the younger sister insists everyone
Speaker 2: read and sign this list of demands before they actually
Speaker 2: attend Thanksgiving. What would you put on your list of
Speaker 2: things that the code of conduct at Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3: I just would never do that.
Speaker 1: I would never tell people how to behave You'd like
Speaker 1: to think it was just understood, right, or maybe if
Speaker 1: you're waxing poetic about something you think in politics or
Speaker 1: policy or what have you.
Speaker 3: That you kind of read the room. But not everyone
Speaker 3: can read rooms.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know's there's a huge spectrum of social behaviors
Speaker 1: and unfortunately that's that's kind of like a rare thing
Speaker 1: for somebody to be able to read a room accurately,
Speaker 1: to know what's flying and what's not.
Speaker 4: Where does that come from? Who? Why do people not
Speaker 4: have that?
Speaker 3: It's just a personality type?
Speaker 2: Hm, I mean, is it a matter of like and
Speaker 2: I don't I'm not an only child, so I don't know.
Speaker 2: But is it an only child characteristic? Is it common
Speaker 2: in older the only children where they can't read the
Speaker 2: room because they didn't have to deal with I don't know.
Speaker 4: Other people.
Speaker 1: I find only children to be more social. Only that
Speaker 1: they because they had to, they were to deal with adults,
Speaker 1: you know more. You know, there was not a lot
Speaker 1: of Yeah, you were having conversations with adults more than
Speaker 1: you were with kids.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But I think there's also kind of the personality type
Speaker 1: of I know better, I know best. This is everything
Speaker 1: I do is the best, This is the best.
Speaker 3: You know that guy.
Speaker 1: There's always a guy who's like, my burger place is
Speaker 1: the best burger place. Or you know, my son's going
Speaker 1: to the best college. It's everything they do is the best,
Speaker 1: or you know what you should do?
Speaker 3: Is this kind of thing? There is always fun.
Speaker 2: So the conclusion to this is that the thirty two
Speaker 2: year old who's been hosting Thanksgiving dinners at her house
Speaker 2: since she bought the house a few years ago, again
Speaker 2: the little sister, the twenty nine year old, was the
Speaker 2: one who came up with this code of conduct. So
Speaker 2: the older sister said, I'm not going to enforce a
Speaker 2: code of conduct, and if you don't like it, don't
Speaker 2: come to Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4: She said. She ultimately canceled holding Thanksgiving at her house.
Speaker 2: The younger sister doubled down, saying that she was being
Speaker 2: ungrateful and stubborn as a result.
Speaker 3: So that sounds like a fun time, doesn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no kidding, I kind of wish they would have
Speaker 2: had Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3: What are you doing for Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2: My in laws are coming into town. I have a
Speaker 2: nephew that's going to be driving down. Maybe some random
Speaker 2: friends that come over, but son and daughter will be there.
Speaker 4: Son's girlfriend will be there probably at some point.
Speaker 3: So nice.
Speaker 2: And then football, right, But I put my nephew in
Speaker 2: charge of the volume on the TV because my father
Speaker 2: in law and mother in law tend to listen to
Speaker 2: it pretty loud.
Speaker 3: Now, do you have any roles? Do you do anything?
Speaker 3: Are you responsible for any of the food?
Speaker 2: I'm probably turkey guy? Okay, yeah, which means yesterday I
Speaker 2: had to take the turkey out of the freezer and
Speaker 2: stick it in the fridge to begin the thawing process.
Speaker 3: Do you do that yesterday?
Speaker 2: I did good, but I still might have been a
Speaker 2: day late late because it's for some well I shouldn't say,
Speaker 2: for some reason. My wife bought a twenty pound turkey,
Speaker 2: but we thought it was smaller than that. And then
Speaker 2: I looked at the label and it says twenty pounds.
Speaker 3: So how many pounds did you think it was?
Speaker 4: I thought it was about a twelve or thirteen pound turkey.
Speaker 1: So sweet to underestimate its weight like that. You are
Speaker 1: good with women, a mcgiver.
Speaker 4: I am McGivern.
Speaker 2: So anyway, that's the old apple cider bourbon brine that
Speaker 2: I have to start working.
Speaker 1: It sounds like you may need to call in Neil's
Speaker 1: show and find out what to do with that massive
Speaker 1: bird that you did not cross quick enough.
Speaker 4: It'll be fine, it'll be fine. I just add the
Speaker 4: cooking time.
Speaker 2: I usually cook it wrapped up pretty well so it
Speaker 2: doesn't dry out all that stuff.
Speaker 4: So all right.
