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 Freaking Padres, And.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you it's that's really the only thing that's
Speaker 2: going on in baseball. I mean, the Orioles actually clinched
Speaker 2: a playoff spot last night with a win against the Yankees.
Speaker 2: But there's a lot of everything else has been decided.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's not a whole lot of I mean,
Speaker 2: I guess there's some intrigue perhaps about the American League
Speaker 2: wild Card, but then you still have to do that
Speaker 2: silly play in thing that they do for the wild guess.
Speaker 1: I am excited for Padres fans. What a season. It's
Speaker 1: been a ride, so to speak. So I'm glad for them,
Speaker 1: but I am not glad for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Next hour, we're going to get into the story the
Speaker 2: person who was shot when an MTA bus was hijacked
Speaker 2: with passengers on board very early this morning.
Speaker 3: They were chased.
Speaker 2: The bus was chased by police from South La to downtown.
Speaker 2: Officers started getting radio calls for an assault with a
Speaker 2: deadly weapon on a bus near South Figaroa and Manchester
Speaker 2: in the neighborhood the Stone Vermont Knowles. It was right
Speaker 2: about one o'clock, just before one o'clock, and authority said
Speaker 2: that the person on the bus had pulled out a gun,
Speaker 2: prompting the bus driver to activate the panic button and
Speaker 2: on the pant. When you do that, it tells people
Speaker 2: on the outside of the bus all of the I
Speaker 2: almost called him scoreboards, but the message boards it says
Speaker 2: call nine one one emergency. And it's weird to see
Speaker 2: this bus slowly driving through the streets two dozen police
Speaker 2: cars following it with this, you know, flashing sign that
Speaker 2: says call nine one.
Speaker 1: Everybody think about Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves or am
Speaker 1: I just old?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I did too.
Speaker 2: But I had wanted it to be if that was
Speaker 2: the case, that we should have been fast. It should
Speaker 2: have been a fast chase. They were very fast.
Speaker 1: I wanted to last longer. I'm sure the driver did not,
Speaker 1: but I wanted a cinematic ending to that.
Speaker 2: Also, in a few minutes, we'll talk more about intelligence
Speaker 2: officials briefing former President Trump about threats from Iran to
Speaker 2: assassinate him. That on top of a report that came
Speaker 2: out from the Senate about the original assassination, the original, well,
Speaker 2: the first the first assassination attempt against Trump, and we'll
Speaker 2: talk about some of the shortcomings that the Senate has
Speaker 2: found in that case.
Speaker 1: Helleen has strengthened to a Category one hurricane taking aim
Speaker 1: at Florida, forecasts to make landfall along the Big Bend
Speaker 1: area tomorrow night. University of Tampa students have been ordered
Speaker 1: to evacuate all students who live on campus by one pm.
Speaker 1: These are mandatory evacuation orders. The residence halls will be
Speaker 1: closed after the evacuation concludes. No entry allowed into these buildings.
Speaker 2: Governor Ron de Santa has held yet another news conference today.
Speaker 4: You don't have to get in your car and drive
Speaker 4: three hundred and fifty miles away. You can evacuate safely
Speaker 4: to higher ground, their shelters, their hotels, friends, houses, family.
Speaker 2: And specifically, the way the models have been looking, they
Speaker 2: call them spaghetti models. When you've got all the different
Speaker 2: forecasts together and they all kind of track a little differently,
Speaker 2: they will take basically the average of them the mean,
Speaker 2: and that mean that line in the middle points directly
Speaker 2: to a place called Appalachi Bay or that's the body
Speaker 2: water but Saint Teresa is a tiny little town apparently
Speaker 2: on the water there at right Florida.
Speaker 3: In Florida, Florida.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sixty four out of the sixty seven counties are
Speaker 1: under either watches or warnings or alerts.
Speaker 2: And then I mean, it's gonna make landfall potentially well
Speaker 2: tomorrow evening tomorrow night as potentially a category four or five,
Speaker 2: and then obviously keep and maintain that hurricane strength for
Speaker 2: a while as it makes its way farther north. But
Speaker 2: they're talking about places as far as Nashville that would
Speaker 2: could see tropical storm warnings and watches over.
Speaker 3: The next several days into the weekend.
Speaker 1: So well, we have a huge announcement to make. And
Speaker 1: right about now is when you could float the idea
Speaker 1: to your boss that you had a questionable breakfast, right
Speaker 1: because food poisoning can hit thirty minutes to one to
Speaker 1: three days after your questionable meal.
Speaker 2: And maybe you say something like, you know, actually, Bill,
Speaker 2: if that's your boss's name, hey Bill or Mary. Not
Speaker 2: that women can't be bosses, because they can totally be bosses.
Speaker 1: I love that your go to is Mary, like it's
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty five.
Speaker 3: Well, I didn't say Dolores or something that's true.
Speaker 5: Hey, Mary and Bill.
Speaker 2: I thought that shellfish for breakfast was a good idea,
Speaker 2: so I left it out on the counter overnight so
Speaker 2: I could have it first thing available. And then it
Speaker 2: turns out that shellfish for breakfast is.
Speaker 3: Not a great idea.
Speaker 5: Oh that's why.
Speaker 3: That makes me sick thinking about it.
Speaker 1: Just thinking about that, like that shelfish thawed shrimp has
Speaker 1: been on the counter for nine how making me kind
Speaker 1: of throw up in my mouth.
Speaker 3: Well, that's that's possible.
Speaker 2: What you do tomorrow We're going to be live at
Speaker 2: the Bejay's Restaurant in Blue House in Huntington Beach. We're
Speaker 2: gonna be the one on Beach Boulevard. We were there
Speaker 2: almost to exactly a year ago and had an absolutely
Speaker 2: great time.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember the temperature in there. I feel
Speaker 1: like it's warm.
Speaker 3: In the be Jays.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's going to be warmer than outside. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's a beach community, so it's going to be what
Speaker 2: I can use.
Speaker 1: Because we go to BJ's a lot and they all
Speaker 1: kind of run together in my mind.
Speaker 2: Well, producer Michelle was out there today helping us figure
Speaker 2: out what kind of Garyan Shannon Show swag. We're going
Speaker 2: to be given away, and there's stacks of things that
Speaker 2: we have.
Speaker 5: This is the one with the room.
Speaker 1: Right behind us, right behind where we stand. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's all coming back to me now.
Speaker 2: It's celon I think, if I'm not mistaken, that's the
Speaker 2: one where you you held the baby and then we
Speaker 2: all took a picture and it looks like it's our kid.
Speaker 3: It's an oddly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, we did picture.
Speaker 1: It's very odd. We look like we made a baby.
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate.
Speaker 2: President Vladimir Zelenskive, Ukraine addressed to you on General or
Speaker 2: Assembly this morning and cast Russia as a threat to
Speaker 2: countries that are far beyond his own. He said that
Speaker 2: Russia was not going to stop its onslaught. Despite its size.
Speaker 2: He said, Russia still wants even more land, which is insane,
Speaker 2: and is seizing it day by day while wanting to
Speaker 2: destroy its neighbor.
Speaker 1: Did you get the journal Nature this week? I believe
Speaker 1: it arrived on Monday.
Speaker 3: I did not check the mail.
Speaker 5: It could have been yesterday. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I got my virtual copy on Monday, and in it
Speaker 1: I learned about octopuses. Did you know about octopi and
Speaker 1: how they don't always hunt alone, and their partners who
Speaker 1: they hunt with are not who you'd expect.
Speaker 3: They're actually fish.
Speaker 1: They hunt with fish, sometimes several fish species at once.
Speaker 1: And what's fascinating about this study is that the big
Speaker 1: blue octopus or it's called day octopus often punches its
Speaker 1: companion fish to keep them in line, keep them on task.
Speaker 5: If a fish sees a squirrel and kind.
Speaker 1: Of moves away from the hunting expedition, the octopus goes
Speaker 1: over and punches it right in the face, so it
Speaker 1: gets back in line. Now, how's that for accountability?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 5: Fact, they're so.
Speaker 1: Smart octopier, so smart. Once you learn how smart octopier,
Speaker 1: you do not want to eat them.
Speaker 2: Yeah octopus drill sergeant. Oh yeah, And why is the
Speaker 2: squirrel underwater?
Speaker 5: That was a hypothetic? Like you know, if a squirrelfish
Speaker 5: a squirrelfish, If a fish just.
Speaker 1: Gets distracted by something algae, coral, another fish.
Speaker 2: The Senate yesterday passed a temporary bill to boost Secret
Speaker 2: Service protection given to major party candidates following the second
Speaker 2: attempt on former President Trump. So this will give the
Speaker 2: two party nominees and potentially others I suppose Trump and
Speaker 2: Harris right now this same level of protection that's given
Speaker 2: to Joe Biden. I don't know how. I don't know
Speaker 2: how this will work necessarily for the campaign because with
Speaker 2: that level of Secret Service protection, it's not just adding
Speaker 2: manpower or power, it's about adding the resources that go
Speaker 2: with the president everywhere that person goes. And are they
Speaker 2: going to have to do advanced team research on every
Speaker 2: location they do, Because we're talking about in the coming
Speaker 2: days and weeks, Trump and Harris are going to be
Speaker 2: in multiple cities many of those days, I mean flying
Speaker 2: in and out of two or three four different states
Speaker 2: or cities within a state each each and every day.
Speaker 2: Are they going to have to go through and do
Speaker 2: the research that is necessary for a pre visit inspection.
Speaker 1: And if there is another attempt or a successful attempt
Speaker 1: on any one of these people, how does an underground
Speaker 1: America leadership role pan out? Because you'd have to go
Speaker 1: underground at that point, you'd have to not be in public,
Speaker 1: not go anywhere, and what does that mean for the country.
Speaker 1: It's a very embarrassing situation to be in for a
Speaker 1: number of reasons. A preliminary report released today by a
Speaker 1: Senate committee says no one was in charge of planning
Speaker 1: and security security decisions for the campaign rally where Trump
Speaker 1: was shot.
Speaker 5: No one.
Speaker 1: That is grade a blooney that there would be no
Speaker 1: one in charge. Is this just everyone covering their ass
Speaker 1: and people abiding by that strategy? How could there be
Speaker 1: no one in charge who would be the box to
Speaker 1: stop with?
Speaker 2: Come on, it would be hard to believe that that
Speaker 2: was the case. There's people walking around going on, I
Speaker 2: don't know. I thought you, I thought you said it right.
Speaker 2: And because in all honesty, listen, I do not want
Speaker 2: to believe that the Secret Service was incompetent in this case,
Speaker 2: because of the respect that they have already garnered for
Speaker 2: the service that they do all the time protecting presidents
Speaker 2: and dignitaries. I do not want to believe that there
Speaker 2: would be a situation like this where it simply fell
Speaker 2: through the cracks, because that, to me, is the harder
Speaker 2: of the two scenarios to believe. But they said it
Speaker 2: was hapless on site leadership, that they were unaware of
Speaker 2: potential threats to Trump's safety, That a culture within the
Speaker 2: agency of individuals unwilling to take responsibility for those failures
Speaker 2: is what we're seeing The committee said that no one
Speaker 2: involved in the security plans could say who made the
Speaker 2: call to exclude from the security perimeter those warehouses upon
Speaker 2: which the gunman sat and eventually met his maker. Senator
Speaker 2: Ran Paul of Kentucky, top Republican on the panel, said
Speaker 2: that everybody's been pointing fingers at somebody else, and that's
Speaker 2: not the way we're going to go about getting any
Speaker 2: of this solved.
Speaker 6: Add that to the domestic terrorists that are trying to
Speaker 6: kill President Trump. There's a lot of people trying to
Speaker 6: kill President Trump, and so we to get it right.
Speaker 6: We have to. You know, if we can't even stop
Speaker 6: the random guy who's camping outside the golf course, if
Speaker 6: we can't do a good job of that, how are
Speaker 6: we going to stop a sophisticated assassination attempt by a
Speaker 6: foreign country.
Speaker 2: One of the things that happened was one of the
Speaker 2: drone operators apparently radio communications was hampered by tech failures
Speaker 2: that rendered some of their radios inoperable. One agent was
Speaker 2: so busy trying to fix his own radio he failed
Speaker 2: to pick up the local police radio that he had
Speaker 2: been offered. Had he grabbed that radio, he would have
Speaker 2: heard the local police traffic where they were like, Hey,
Speaker 2: there's a guy with a gun.
Speaker 5: Why aren't they on the same frequency.
Speaker 2: Great question. The other thing is a drone operator. Apparently
Speaker 2: the Secret Service drone operator was relatively new to operating
Speaker 2: drones right, and was having guy want having a technical
Speaker 2: problem and was on tech support on the phone with
Speaker 2: tech support with the drone company while all of this
Speaker 2: was going on.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 1: Sometimes s just keeps getting promoted. It does not roll
Speaker 1: down the hill. And you should have the best, the
Speaker 1: best with the Secret Service. And the fact that you don't,
Speaker 1: that you have a novice on the on a former
Speaker 1: president's rally an open air that has no experience just
Speaker 1: baffles me. Who signed off on that alone.
Speaker 2: The Office of the Director of National Intelligence also says
Speaker 2: that they had briefed the Trump campaign on an issue,
Speaker 2: but didn't say what it was.
Speaker 3: A Trump campaign.
Speaker 2: Spokesperson says the president was briefed by the Office of
Speaker 2: Director of National Intelligence regarding real and specific threats from
Speaker 2: Iran to assassinate him in an effort to destabilize and
Speaker 2: sow chaos in the United States. So it's coming, It's
Speaker 2: coming from all angles. I think it's probably a good
Speaker 2: way to.
Speaker 7: Put Gary and Shannon love your show. I love it,
Speaker 7: especially when Shannon shows up to work. Yeah ay, Shannon,
Speaker 7: do me and all Dodger fans of favor and don't
Speaker 7: mention we when you're talking about the Dodgers because you
Speaker 7: know you're a Giants fan.
Speaker 1: Why nuts, I haven't been a Giants fan for three decades.
Speaker 5: Come on, that's Gary, he's the Giants fan.
Speaker 2: Fun to watch that triple play last night, have fun
Speaker 2: in the middle of October when the Dodgers are sitting
Speaker 2: on the on their couches watching the have fun, not
Speaker 2: watching the playoffs again at all.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 8: Good morning guys. For tomorrow, I'm gonna tell my female
Speaker 8: boss Gertrude that the hand crank on my car broke,
Speaker 8: so I wasn't able to start it to get into work.
Speaker 8: But I'll make it there somehow. Maybe a horse and
Speaker 8: buggy will do.
Speaker 3: Got it, Gertrude, she's the new boss. Name.
Speaker 9: Hi, Shannon, This is inga I listen to you guys
Speaker 9: every day you mentioned an octopus. Shannon, you have to
Speaker 9: watch My Octopus Teacher. You're gonna cry. It is such
Speaker 9: an awesome melodrama documentary. You're gonna love OCTOPI, thank you,
Speaker 9: have a great day.
Speaker 3: Bye knows what she's talking about.
Speaker 5: I could listen to her voice all day long.
Speaker 10: Hey, Shannon, there's two really good books out there with octopus.
Speaker 5: I have one.
Speaker 10: One is called The Soul of an Octopus and the
Speaker 10: other is Remarkably Bright Creatures.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's the one.
Speaker 10: I have a very sweet and poignant read. Yes, the
Speaker 10: growth short check them out.
Speaker 1: Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt. And I have
Speaker 1: a little octopus that sits on top of that book.
Speaker 5: Seek. No, it's an octopus. It's a little rubber octopus.
Speaker 5: You want to know what his name is? Yeah, I
Speaker 5: just leave him on the top. His name is Octi.
Speaker 3: Wow, you really went on the limb with that one, Sharon.
Speaker 8: What's up?
Speaker 3: Joe from San Clemente.
Speaker 8: You guys are rad You ever remark you're awesome.
Speaker 3: She's coming in soon.
Speaker 9: Gary.
Speaker 8: You're cool too.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 5: What about Amy King.
Speaker 8: Bro Shrimp Overnight? Not good?
Speaker 5: Brother, Yeah, not good. You shouldn't do that.
Speaker 3: I think a child would know that.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the whole Aloha ala allow, that's the whole
Speaker 3: point of that. That's why you do it. If you're
Speaker 3: going to get sick, make yourself sick.
Speaker 1: No, we're not telling people to actually make themselves sick.
Speaker 1: Just lie about it.
Speaker 3: But that's a good lie.
Speaker 1: I don't want people throwing up bad shellfish at the BJ's.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right.
Speaker 1: Shandy coombs In, a former bodyguard, allegedly drugged, bound, and
Speaker 1: raped a woman in a recording studio in two thousand
Speaker 1: and one, then went on to share and sell a
Speaker 1: recording of the assault.
Speaker 5: This is according to a new lawsuit filed yesterday.
Speaker 1: Dahlia Graves broke down in tears as she spoke at
Speaker 1: a press conference with You Know Who.
Speaker 5: Gloria all Read.
Speaker 1: Described the internal pain she faced after the alleged attack.
Speaker 1: The trauma of the assault has taking a toll on
Speaker 1: my mental health. I have PTSD, depression and anxiety. I'm
Speaker 1: emotionally scarred. It's been hard for me to trust others,
Speaker 1: form healthy relationships, or feel safe.
Speaker 2: She now marks the eleventh person to have come forward
Speaker 2: and accuse Ditty in some sort of sexual assault lawsuits.
Speaker 1: I bet Gloria Alred is very busy these days.
Speaker 5: I bet I bet eleven is just the tip of
Speaker 5: the iceberg could be.
Speaker 2: Gloria declined to comment on whether or not Graves played
Speaker 2: any part in the grand jury proceedings that led to
Speaker 2: the Southern District of New York prosecutors arresting Ditty last week,
Speaker 2: she said, our goal for Thali is very simple.
Speaker 3: We want justice for her.
Speaker 2: We're looking forward to winning it long overdue for those
Speaker 2: who have caused her to suffer, to be to be
Speaker 2: held accountable.
Speaker 1: One of my friends pointed out, Gloria alright hasn't aged
Speaker 1: in twenty years. She looks exactly the same as when
Speaker 1: I was out on the street covering her at that
Speaker 1: big table in her office, and she sits on the
Speaker 1: phone books in her chanel like she looks exactly the same.
Speaker 3: That's very true.
Speaker 2: Thali apparently met or became friendly with Ditty in late
Speaker 2: ninety nine because her then boyfriend was an executive at
Speaker 2: Bad Boy Records, and due to the boyfriend's position at
Speaker 2: the company, she said she frequently attended events that were
Speaker 2: hosted at Ditty's homes often visited her boyfriend at Ditty's
Speaker 2: house recording studio. The boyfriend's not named in the lawsuit.
Speaker 2: Things took a turn, though, when she got a call
Speaker 2: from Ditty, who wanted to meet with her to discuss
Speaker 2: her boyfriend's supposed performance issues.
Speaker 5: Oh No.
Speaker 2: Wanting to help her boyfriend, already knowing a Ditty, she said,
Speaker 2: she agreed to the meeting. She said it was evidently
Speaker 2: a sick and twisted way of using his ownership of
Speaker 2: and title at Bad Boy and its affiliate entities to
Speaker 2: abuse the plaintiff and also show his power and ability
Speaker 2: to humiliate her boyfriend one of his executives. And then
Speaker 2: it was a few hours later. She said she did
Speaker 2: accept a glass of wine from Ditty, but quickly became lightheaded, dizzy,
Speaker 2: and physically we by the time that they were at
Speaker 2: the recording studio, she said, she struggled to walk, and
Speaker 2: that's when she says she lost consciousness.
Speaker 1: There was an article about the white parties, the infamous
Speaker 1: white parties that he would throw, that this was the
Speaker 1: hottest ticket, the golden ticket white parties, that these were
Speaker 1: in the nineties the two thousands, that everybody had to
Speaker 1: abide by a strict head to toe white dress code.
Speaker 1: The bash was set in all white surroundings. Combs told
Speaker 1: Oprah years ago, I wanted to strip away everyone's image
Speaker 1: and put us all in the same color and on
Speaker 1: the same level. They were held at his East Hampton
Speaker 1: waterfront home over Labor Day weekend. The parties would last
Speaker 1: three days.
Speaker 2: Do you really believe that there's fear going through the
Speaker 2: circles of people who were at these parties.
Speaker 5: I do.
Speaker 1: Everyone's been very quiet, haven't they. It's been radio silence
Speaker 1: from people in Hollywood. And you know, even if you
Speaker 1: were at his party, which everyone Leo DiCaprio, Jay Z, Beyonce,
Speaker 1: Mariah Kerry, the Kardashians, the Hilton's, Jennifer Lopez.
Speaker 5: I mean everyone was there.
Speaker 1: Champagne freely available, guests serve champagne from heaven by models
Speaker 1: dressed as angels, all of it.
Speaker 5: Just say hey, I love a good party. I went
Speaker 5: to his parties.
Speaker 1: I had no idea what he was doing when things
Speaker 1: went dark, But everyone's very quiet.
Speaker 2: Former President Trump scheduled to return to North Carolina today,
Speaker 2: obviously a very competitive state now in this race. Trump
Speaker 2: as an event scheduled in mint Hill, one of the
Speaker 2: suburbs of Charlotte. Vice President Harris is going to deliver
Speaker 2: what AIDS have been saying is a major address on
Speaker 2: the economy up in Pittsburgh today. Justice Department also has
Speaker 2: sued Visa, saying that it propped up an illegal monopoly
Speaker 2: over debt payments sorry debit payments by imposing exclusionary agreements
Speaker 2: on partners and smothering some of the upstart firms that
Speaker 2: were involved. Visa and its smaller Arrive MasterCard have surged
Speaker 2: over the last two decades, reaching a combined market cap
Speaker 2: of about a trillion dollars.
Speaker 3: Visa says this lawsuit is meritless.
Speaker 1: The Pritzker Estate is a roughly fifty thousand square foot
Speaker 1: estate in the hills above La, one of the largest
Speaker 1: private homes in the country.
Speaker 5: At times run.
Speaker 1: By a staff of more than twenty five people, this
Speaker 1: place has a bowling alley, a hair dressing area, a
Speaker 1: gym with changing rooms, an infinity swimming pool overlooking the skyline.
Speaker 2: Well, now, listen, I have a hair dressing area as well.
Speaker 2: It's right in front of my bathroom sink.
Speaker 5: Yes, I have a hair dryer and a curling iron.
Speaker 10: A gym.
Speaker 3: You could argue and that the changing area is when
Speaker 3: you close the door.
Speaker 5: I have a gym in the garage.
Speaker 2: I have a small pool. That is, I have a
Speaker 2: hot definitely enjoyable. You have a good sized pool.
Speaker 3: It's deep. How far?
Speaker 5: How far is it?
Speaker 2: It's like an eleven foot really, Yeah, because you gotta
Speaker 2: be car in. There was a diving board there, right,
Speaker 2: we took that out. Well, I didn't care.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just they tell you to take it
Speaker 1: out now because of liability, which is stupid, but the
Speaker 1: insurance will gut you probably.
Speaker 3: If I had, if somebody put their noodle through the Yeah.
Speaker 5: I never knew. I've swum and have I swum?
Speaker 3: Swim?
Speaker 5: Have I have I done that?
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 2: You sat with your feet in the hot tub with
Speaker 2: a friend's daughter. Yeah, was that super Bowl?
Speaker 3: Probably? Super Bowl?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think I've been in the pool.
Speaker 1: I think I put my feet in the pool, but
Speaker 1: I don't think I've got I didn't know that was
Speaker 1: eleven feet.
Speaker 5: That's a very deep pool. It's very dangerous.
Speaker 3: It was only deep on that.
Speaker 5: How many bodies are down there.
Speaker 2: It's not like it's dark like I would be able
Speaker 2: to see bodies, and there've been a handful of mice,
Speaker 2: birds and a rattlesnake.
Speaker 5: Anyway.
Speaker 1: The home of billionaire Hyatt Hotel air Tony Pritz and
Speaker 1: his philanthropist's wife, Jean. This home has been at the
Speaker 1: center of their bitter divorce fight. They separated two years
Speaker 1: ago and the divorce has been settled. We don't know
Speaker 1: details of the sum, but the estate is slated to
Speaker 1: go on the market asking somewhere between one hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty and two hundred million. This is going to be
Speaker 1: on Selling Sunset or million dollar listing, all those crack
Speaker 1: shows I watch.
Speaker 3: This is a massive estate.
Speaker 2: You look at when you look at it on the maps,
Speaker 2: it is qngus.
Speaker 5: They are both in their sixties.
Speaker 1: Tony is the son of the Hyatt hotel chain co
Speaker 1: founder and the brother of Illinois Governor JB.
Speaker 5: Pritzker.
Speaker 1: Interesting, these two were married for more than thirty years.
Speaker 1: They have six children. They spent years putting this home together.
Speaker 1: To give you an idea of how big it is.
Speaker 1: At times it has did you say the staff of
Speaker 1: more than.
Speaker 5: Twenty five people? I did. Yeah.
Speaker 1: That that alone tells you, Yeah, I tells you how
Speaker 1: big this place is.
Speaker 5: It's got twelve to fifteen bedrooms.
Speaker 3: That's always a fun.
Speaker 2: When you have enough bedrooms that there's a dash and
Speaker 2: no one knows exactly how many there are. One of
Speaker 2: the real estate agents who has been to parties there,
Speaker 2: so you feel like you're floating in the view. The
Speaker 2: vista is especially remarkable given the homes massive size. Most
Speaker 2: of the houses of comparable square footage are located in
Speaker 2: flatter areas rather than the hills.
Speaker 1: So after they split, the wife Jean continued to live
Speaker 1: in this house, used it for parties and things. He
Speaker 1: moved out, and they say she was shocked when his
Speaker 1: lawyers informed her that the house, in its contents down
Speaker 1: to the forks, knives and spoons, were technically owned not
Speaker 1: by the couple, but by a complex web of trusts
Speaker 1: and LLC's.
Speaker 5: See mo money more problems. Okay, am I right?
Speaker 1: Leave me alone in my nine hundred square foot home.
Speaker 3: When he left.
Speaker 2: By the way, when Tony wanted to sell, he went
Speaker 2: out and got a twenty million dollar four bedroom penthouse
Speaker 2: of about eight thousand square feet at the Beverly West
Speaker 2: Condos there in Westwoods.
Speaker 5: It's a nice little side piece.
Speaker 2: What talk about downsizing from fifty thousand feet to just
Speaker 2: eight thousand, that's rough.
Speaker 5: They were married in July of nineteen eighty nine.
