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: Today is the eighty first anniversary of D Day. There
Speaker 2: was an interview I saw this morning with Staff Sergeant
Speaker 2: Jake Larson. Jake Larson enrolled in the Army when he
Speaker 2: was fifteen years old and was one of those guys
Speaker 2: that stormed the beach. He was at Omaha Beach. He's
Speaker 2: one hundred and three years old. Is Jake Larson and
Speaker 2: is in France for the marking of the anniversary eighty
Speaker 2: first anniversary of D Day.
Speaker 3: Only did I make it, but I made it to
Speaker 3: six battles, six battles with elp a scrunch somebody upstairs love.
Speaker 2: Is for me fifteen when he lied about his age
Speaker 2: to enroll in the Army.
Speaker 1: I met a guy who twenty one years ago when
Speaker 1: we did a freedom flight when the World War Two
Speaker 1: Memorial was erected in DC. Finally, and it was two
Speaker 1: thousand and four that we took a group of World
Speaker 1: War Two veterans from Sacramento to DC so they could
Speaker 1: see the memorial.
Speaker 4: And one of the men, he.
Speaker 1: And his wife came and he was the youngest surviving
Speaker 1: member of the Batan Death March. He also enlisted when
Speaker 1: he was fifteen. Was seventeen when that happened. And you
Speaker 1: just think about You think of a twenty five year
Speaker 1: old enlisting and it's wild. But to think of a
Speaker 1: fifteen year old saying, I'm going to put my life
Speaker 1: online for the country. I'm going to lie to do it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lie to get in all the things. It's incredible.
Speaker 1: And the many times the parents were supportive of it.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean I would be.
Speaker 1: I'd be so proud if my kid wanted to lie
Speaker 1: about his age or her age to get into the military.
Speaker 2: It's a different world I saw. Obviously today there will
Speaker 2: be commemorations. I mean in France, the graveyard, the American
Speaker 2: cemeteries that exist there on the coast of France are
Speaker 2: just somber places to begin with, and today obviously would
Speaker 2: be more somber. I see a lot of the black
Speaker 2: and white, the grainy images of storming the beach there,
Speaker 2: and obviously for us, anybody who's under the age of ninety,
Speaker 2: probably the images that we have were all connected to
Speaker 2: saving Private Ryan or some other sort of you know,
Speaker 2: theatrical version of what had happened.
Speaker 4: God, when you go ahead, I was just gonna say.
Speaker 2: And the images that we do have of that day,
Speaker 2: actual footage from that day is all very sanitized because
Speaker 2: it is black and white, because it is grainy. A
Speaker 2: lot of people just they don't connect it necessarily with
Speaker 2: real life. And ironically, I'm saying that saving Private Ryan
Speaker 2: it is a more realistic version of it.
Speaker 1: Well, everyone who was there that saw saving Private Ryan say,
Speaker 1: that's as close as it gets you bringing this up
Speaker 1: and the juxtaposition of this conversation with what's going on
Speaker 1: in Washington.
Speaker 5: Yeah, is it's intentional.
Speaker 2: I mean I did purpose because of how insane we
Speaker 2: have become as a we have devolved.
Speaker 4: It's a great way. Ah my God.
Speaker 1: One of the headlines today was that Republican hold on
Speaker 1: let me get it so I don't I don't screw
Speaker 1: it up here.
Speaker 4: It is, it's a quote.
Speaker 1: I just hope it resolves quickly. And then GOP praise
Speaker 1: for peace in the Trump Musk War.
Speaker 2: What we're so doomed, what we are so dooming?
Speaker 4: We are so doomed.
Speaker 1: Now some people are claiming that this is like WWF.
Speaker 2: I saw today a headline that said, this is Trump's
Speaker 2: third divorce.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is it real? Is it as painful as a divorce?
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: We sat here whenever this began and said that this
Speaker 1: was how it was going to end. Now we didn't
Speaker 1: know it was going to end this publicly, and this
Speaker 1: in such juvenile way.
Speaker 2: But I'm almost ashamed that we didn't see that part
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 5: You can't have two guys with the egos that big.
Speaker 5: We said that from go that one.
Speaker 2: You can't have two sons sun orbit each other without
Speaker 2: one destroying the other in some wild fashion.
Speaker 5: And I don't know who destroys who.
Speaker 2: I mean, hopefully, like you said, that headline is begging
Speaker 2: for some sort of de new mal some you know, resolution,
Speaker 2: at least the lowering of the temperature, which it appears
Speaker 2: that's where we are today. But the weekend could hold
Speaker 2: all kinds stuff.
Speaker 1: I love all the French words being thrown around about
Speaker 1: a quieting of this Cold war, because these are the
Speaker 1: words used to describe the Cold War so many years ago.
Speaker 4: This is not a cold war, detM, This.
Speaker 1: Is not a cold war. This is a fiery, active,
Speaker 1: active breaking up with a crazy X. She's setting the
Speaker 1: house on fire kind of war, if that's what you
Speaker 1: want to refer to it. As some people are claiming
Speaker 1: that this all began, well, this ending began when Trump
Speaker 1: decided to name the head of NASA with Sergio Gore, right,
Speaker 1: and that that was a bridge too far for Elon Musk.
Speaker 2: Well, Elon knows the value that SpaceX has had for NASA.
Speaker 2: I mean, NASA is a shell of its former self
Speaker 2: and the innovation that has taken place not just with SpaceX,
Speaker 2: but you think of Jeff Bezos's Blue Horizon, whatever the
Speaker 2: hell they call it, and then Virgin and the idea of.
Speaker 5: Rejuvenating space track.
Speaker 4: But here's the problem.
Speaker 1: This is an achilles heel for Elon Musk right now.
Speaker 1: And we'll take a break because we're running up late now.
Speaker 1: But it's an achilles heel because SpaceX has become a
Speaker 1: mess and Trump naming this leader of NASA who's one
Speaker 1: of Elon Musk's friends. It's so trumpion, isn't it. This
Speaker 1: is what Trump does. If you watch The Apprentice, he
Speaker 1: likes to square off people against each other.
Speaker 4: Iron sharpening, iron some could call.
Speaker 1: It, but he likes to square people off against each other,
Speaker 1: and that's what he did last week.
Speaker 4: We'll get into it when we come back.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Tons to get to Gavin Newsome has met privately with
Speaker 1: one of Trump's anointed Hollywood saviors, John Voyd. Tell you
Speaker 1: about their meeting coming up in the next hour. Also,
Speaker 1: what our pizza economy tells us about the overall economy.
Speaker 2: It is going to be a test of willpower here
Speaker 2: because we're going to talk about pizza right before lunchtime.
Speaker 4: Willpower? What is that?
Speaker 2: A huge milestone when it comes to La area of
Speaker 2: transit today, the long awaited opening and opening of the
Speaker 2: Lax Metro Transit Center station. It has a whiff of
Speaker 2: a high speed rail to it in that it's not
Speaker 2: actually getting you to Lax, it's getting you to a
Speaker 2: location near Lax and then you get on a bus
Speaker 2: and go to your terminal. Eventually you'll be able to
Speaker 2: get onto the Lax people mover system and get to
Speaker 2: your terminal.
Speaker 5: But that's down the road a little bit.
Speaker 4: We're talking about the big fight between Trump before.
Speaker 5: We get to that. I'm sorry, we had to do
Speaker 5: one more thing, just a quick book keeping.
Speaker 3: Hey, GARYU is shen and I was just wanting to
Speaker 3: Elmer was able to feel the ripple effectors.
Speaker 5: Of course, last night, Thank you have a good weekend. Yeah,
Speaker 5: did you feel it? How happy was I this morning?
Speaker 7: Gary?
Speaker 5: You're pretty happy your bouncy that bothered me? Oh I
Speaker 5: felt to it? Yeah.
Speaker 2: Carl on Twitter also just after eleven o'clock last night,
Speaker 2: wrote good night Gary, and I knew something was up.
Speaker 5: I fell Did you feel well?
Speaker 2: I did this thing where I fell asleep pretty quickly,
Speaker 2: which is unusual for.
Speaker 1: Me because in Elmer's embrace it's very comforting, super comforting.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it's like being into the belly of a
Speaker 2: ton ton like That's how I was.
Speaker 5: That's how comfortable I was. Yeah, shame on both of you.
Speaker 5: We just skywalker on that.
Speaker 2: It's actually Empire strikes back to be technical, but yes,
Speaker 2: remember Han Solo had to slice open that creature and
Speaker 2: stuff Luke in there to keep it.
Speaker 1: He was on the frozen planet and he was going
Speaker 1: to freeze today.
Speaker 4: That's a plot point.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then they marketed sleeping bags that were shaped like
Speaker 2: to awful.
Speaker 5: No, it's not. They did not, Amy King.
Speaker 2: You could look it up right, you could get an
Speaker 2: adult sized sleeping bag that's shaped like a tontan.
Speaker 5: Are you inside me?
Speaker 2: I Am going to end this conversation simply because I
Speaker 2: feel it's probably safest for everyone woke up this morning.
Speaker 1: Every day, God reminds me at least once why I
Speaker 1: woke up this morning and today.
Speaker 4: That is an early front runner.
Speaker 1: Okay, there sleeping bag you can get and on the
Speaker 1: inside when you open it.
Speaker 5: Up, it's guts.
Speaker 1: It does it shows the intestines and stuff that's awful.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you if I was if I was eleven again,
Speaker 2: I would have like six of those.
Speaker 4: There, one and forty nine.
Speaker 5: You don't enroll in the middle. I misspoke. Yeah, you're volunteering. Yes,
Speaker 5: I apologize. That is not meant to be. It's just
Speaker 5: a misspeak.
Speaker 1: Can we just go back to if I were an
Speaker 1: eleven year old, I would totally have one of those.
Speaker 1: And then let's press rewind on the tape here and
Speaker 1: press play to where you said they have adult size
Speaker 1: sleeping bags. To me, that is proof that as an
Speaker 1: adult you have gone on the fact finding mission. Can
Speaker 1: I get a ton ton sleeping bag? And you found
Speaker 1: the answer was a yes. So it's not if you
Speaker 1: were an eleven year old, it's I'm fifty two and
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it.
Speaker 2: I was thinking about getting it for my kids, for you.
Speaker 2: For my kids, I mean, not the adults. I would
Speaker 2: get the I would get the appropriate size sleeping bag
Speaker 2: for my children.
Speaker 1: But as your daughter would love to sleep in a
Speaker 1: ton ton sleeping bag, I'm sure of that.
Speaker 5: Should get it well. Also if she didn't have a
Speaker 5: choice in which sleeping bag she sleeps in.
Speaker 2: If I'm the adult, just go to sleep, okay, even
Speaker 2: if you're sleeping in the guts of a creature that.
Speaker 5: You've never seen.
Speaker 1: I'm glad to see. We are all still children at heart. Listen.
Speaker 2: I feel like the table has been set by two
Speaker 2: of the most powerful men in the world like a child,
Speaker 2: and no one's gonna there no repercussions.
Speaker 1: So a lot of people are doing the autopsy on
Speaker 1: this relationship, and one of the major narratives is that
Speaker 1: this began last weekend when President Trump unexpectedly withdrew Elon
Speaker 1: Musk's picked to lead NASA. One name quickly surfaced as
Speaker 1: a major force behind this surprise decision, and that was
Speaker 1: top White House aid Sergio Gore. Now, Trump acknowledged yesterday
Speaker 1: that canceling Jared Isaacman's NASA nomination had upset Elon Musk.
Speaker 4: Those two are very close.
Speaker 1: They said it was a factor among many that led
Speaker 1: to the falling out, and that it was Gore's management
Speaker 1: of the White House Personnel Office that led to Trump
Speaker 1: changing his mind when it came to picking Musks, guy
Speaker 1: or somebody else.
Speaker 4: That Gore was undermining this nomination to.
Speaker 1: Settle a score with Musk, and that Gore kind of
Speaker 1: came out on top with Trump in this.
Speaker 2: This is an odd thing because, I mean, Isaacman had
Speaker 2: his nomination pulled by the President because of what they
Speaker 2: said were prior.
Speaker 5: Prior associations.
Speaker 2: He had donated to several Democrats, and Gore was the
Speaker 2: one who gave the president the list of those donations
Speaker 2: and one of the reasons why why Trump pulled Isaacman's nomination.
Speaker 2: But Gore was a form former deputy chief of staff
Speaker 2: to Senator Rand Paul and joined the Trump campaign and
Speaker 2: has been associated with Trump since then.
Speaker 5: That's a strange bedfellow as well.
Speaker 2: Rand Paul is one of right at least right now,
Speaker 2: one of the major speed bumps in the Senate over
Speaker 2: this one big beautiful bill thing because he says it
Speaker 2: adds too much spending to the deficit.
Speaker 1: Score is a gatekeeper. He is like the male Susie Wiles, powerful,
Speaker 1: rarely crossed in Washington, influences who works in the administration.
Speaker 1: These are the puppet masters behind these guys. Now in
Speaker 1: terms of SpaceX and Trump overriding Musk's decision when it
Speaker 1: comes to NASA, it's his Achilles Hill right now. Elon
Speaker 1: Musk's SpaceX business has been a problem for all its
Speaker 1: promises to set up colonies on Mars, it's having trouble
Speaker 1: with the basics. The ninth flight test of SpaceX's starship
Speaker 1: program just a few days ago saw that reusable booster
Speaker 1: exploding and then forty minutes later the rocket itself blowing up.
Speaker 4: This wasn't the first failure.
Speaker 1: There are critics to Elon Musk, and the scientific community
Speaker 1: will lock it is one of them saying that we're
Speaker 1: going to look back in this period of history and
Speaker 1: realize that letting a billionaire's ego drive innovation rather as
Speaker 1: than as part of a collective effort was a grave mistake.
Speaker 1: A collective effort. You're thinking about Apollo Saturn five.
Speaker 4: All of that. So he's already kind of.
Speaker 1: Waffling right now when it comes to respect in the
Speaker 1: scientific community with SpaceX and its failures and maybe pushing
Speaker 1: through this idea of going to Mars. Allah Faranos right.
Speaker 1: To be an innovator, you've got to have the ego
Speaker 1: of a monster, and you've got to believe that you
Speaker 1: can do all the things that you believe you can
Speaker 1: do to the nth degree. And now everyone's pulling back, going,
Speaker 1: are we just believing along with him and we're missing
Speaker 1: doing some of the math we're not. There's a dues
Speaker 1: gap a little bit here in terms of where we
Speaker 1: are concretely when it comes to innovation and getting us
Speaker 1: to Mars. So that's already a sore point for Elon
Speaker 1: Musk right now. So for Trump to override his decision
Speaker 1: when it comes to NASA is a big deal. It's
Speaker 1: a personal thing.
Speaker 5: Well, you knew that that was coming.
Speaker 2: You knew that there would be some personal affront from
Speaker 2: one one side or the other. And I don't think
Speaker 2: it's necessarily over We'll actually talk when we come back.
Speaker 2: Trump did have a phone interview today with a prominent
Speaker 2: reporter for CNN and said, basically, he's not interested in
Speaker 2: talking to Elon.
Speaker 1: Right right, he says he's not ready to talk to him,
Speaker 1: which is funny because that's very relationship, ye isn't it
Speaker 1: very real? Housewifey also white House aids it was a
Speaker 1: frantic night last night for them figuring out how to
Speaker 1: repair this. We'll talk about that as well.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: About story talking about Star Wars on there off the air.
Speaker 1: About Mark Hamill, well, I had pointed out that we
Speaker 1: just saw him on TV right because he's in the
Speaker 1: new Stephen King movie, The Life of Chuck, which has
Speaker 1: said the best Stephen King movie ever brought to film.
Speaker 1: But anyway, I was going into a deep dive on
Speaker 1: Mark Hamill because you had mentioned he was in a
Speaker 1: bad acci accident and ruined his face, and they were
Speaker 1: even thinking about using a different actor for Empire Strikes
Speaker 1: Back and all of that, and I was looking at
Speaker 1: how he got involved, and it's a fun story. Robert England,
Speaker 1: the actor Freddy Krueger, was auditioning for a role in
Speaker 1: Apocalypse Now. He walks across the hall to where auditions
Speaker 1: are taking place for George Lucas's Star Wars. He's bored
Speaker 1: killing time watching the auditions for a while, and he
Speaker 1: realized that Mark Hamill, one of his best friends, he'd
Speaker 1: be perfect for that Luke Skywalker role. So he told
Speaker 1: his friend, Hey, you shot audition for this. Pretty good
Speaker 1: at it. So Freddy Krueger, that's a good background story
Speaker 1: played a major role in that.
Speaker 4: How fun.
Speaker 1: Anyway, we are talking about the big breakup between Trump
Speaker 1: and Musk?
Speaker 4: Is it all theater?
Speaker 1: Is it? WWF wwe what have you?
Speaker 4: Is it real?
Speaker 1: We thought it would be inevitable. Inevitable, but it has
Speaker 1: come to a very public public break Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: just the basics of it from yesterday. If you remember,
Speaker 1: Elon Musk was the first one to go low, I
Speaker 1: suppose because he said he dropped the big bomb, which
Speaker 1: was that Trump's name shows up in the Epstein files.
Speaker 2: Well, Trump came out and said he was crazy first.
Speaker 2: In response to the Epstein thing. Trump then suggested, Hey,
Speaker 2: one way we might say billions of dollars is by
Speaker 2: ending all of our contracts with Elon Musk's companies. Trump
Speaker 2: said he was a man who lost his mind. There
Speaker 2: has been discussion from Steve Bannon, former Trump advisor, is
Speaker 2: now doing a podcast that SpaceX be seized by the
Speaker 2: government and Elon Musk deported because he's probably an illegal alien.
Speaker 2: And then Elon Musk said, Okay, fine, then we're going
Speaker 2: to dismantle the Dragon nine or the Falcon nine program
Speaker 2: so that we can't shuttle astronauts and supplies back and
Speaker 2: forth to the International Space Station. He's pulled back from that,
Speaker 2: and now the New York Post is reporting Trump wants
Speaker 2: to sell the red Tesla that he bought the day
Speaker 2: the day that Elon Musk had those tesla's out in
Speaker 2: the ellips out in front of the White House.
Speaker 1: Who's gotten rid of a car because of a broken relationship.
Speaker 2: And then Kanye tweeted because everybody was waiting, bros, please
Speaker 2: know we love you both so much.
Speaker 1: That's how you know it was a bad relationship. If
Speaker 1: Kanye is in support of it, that's how you know.
Speaker 1: So Trump did a brief interview last night with Politico.
Speaker 4: They got a hold of him.
Speaker 1: Apparently the backdrop is the White House aids were frantic.
Speaker 1: They're trying to figure out how to smooth over this breakup.
Speaker 1: They're scheduling a call. They're trying to schedule a call
Speaker 1: between the two camps. White House aids were last night. Now,
Speaker 1: Trump answers the phone from Politico and says, oh, it's okay, it's.
Speaker 4: Going very well.
Speaker 1: It's never been done better. And then he starts talking
Speaker 1: about his ratings and he says, the numbers are through
Speaker 1: the roof, the highest polls I've ever.
Speaker 5: Had, and I have to go.
Speaker 4: It was that quick.
Speaker 2: This is supposedly what he said to Dana Bash on
Speaker 2: CNN this morning. She was interviewed after her phone conversation
Speaker 2: with the President today.
Speaker 7: Well, he said that he's quote well, here's exactly what
Speaker 7: he said. Quote, I'm not even thinking about Elon. He's
Speaker 7: got a problem. The poor guy's got a problem. He
Speaker 7: said he won't be speaking to him for a while,
Speaker 7: but he said he wishes Elon Musk.
Speaker 5: Well, is this the end of it or something that's
Speaker 5: happened sax weekend?
Speaker 1: No way, and don't take it off your Bengo card
Speaker 1: that there is a reunification. Well, because remember these guys
Speaker 1: were in this relationship to make money, both of them, right,
Speaker 1: So that is the genesis is if there is money
Speaker 1: to be made, in the future, the love will come back,
Speaker 1: and of course there's always money to be made. Or
Speaker 1: do they stay bitter enemies because Trump never can let
Speaker 1: anything go.
Speaker 5: That I think is the biggest speed bump.
Speaker 2: I do think Elon would be willing to go, hey, listen,
Speaker 2: I disagree with you. There are things that I mean
Speaker 2: the NASA administrator nomination, that's one thing, right, There's also
Speaker 2: the dropping of the EV man or the EV tax
Speaker 2: credits that exist that the way they want to do
Speaker 2: away with them in this big beautiful bill thing, and
Speaker 2: other aspects of it that Elon Musk can disagree with
Speaker 2: the president on. But as we saw leading up to
Speaker 2: his departure from the government from his special contract, Elon
Speaker 2: Musk was willing to disagree publicly with the president on
Speaker 2: certain things. And it's not that this is enough, at
Speaker 2: least in Elon's mind. I think it's not enough to
Speaker 2: scuttle the relationship altogether. It's that Trump is the guy
Speaker 2: who doesn't let things go.
Speaker 7: Well.
Speaker 1: You can tell that Elon Musk, by the way thrice divorced,
Speaker 1: is younger and still doesn't understand the art of war
Speaker 1: as well, because he doesn't get the toothpastes out of
Speaker 1: the tube thing, you know, when you're heated, when you're
Speaker 1: younger and you're in a relationship and you break up
Speaker 1: and you say awful earth scorching things, right, and then
Speaker 1: you realize, like that's not cool, Like I didn't need
Speaker 1: to say that. But the toothpase is already out of
Speaker 1: the tube. The feelings are already hurt. You can't fix that.
Speaker 1: He did that with Trump yesterday.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Trump was a little bit more measured in his personal
Speaker 1: attacks on Elon. I don't think it's out of bounds
Speaker 1: to say Elon Musk is crazy and that he's got
Speaker 1: an issue. Yeah and yeah, they asked and answered several times.
Speaker 1: But Elon Musk went scorched earth. He went, we need
Speaker 1: a new political party. This guy's in the Epstein files,
Speaker 1: like he went scorched earth. And I think that that's
Speaker 1: a real problem in terms of any sort of reunification.
Speaker 2: What about that third party thing? One of the things
Speaker 2: that Elon must I voted yes on Twitter.
Speaker 1: I voted yes, and so did at the time eighty
Speaker 1: two percent of the other people.
Speaker 2: He wrote it, isn't it about time we have a
Speaker 2: third political party that represents the eighty percent of us
Speaker 2: in the middle or something to that.
Speaker 5: I'm not the exact wording of it.
Speaker 6: I don't know, but.
Speaker 5: It's a question that I think brings.
Speaker 2: It means something different when Elon Musk says it because
Speaker 2: he has the political fuel and by that I mean
Speaker 2: cash to actually build up an infrastructure quickly for a
Speaker 2: third political party. It's still one of those you know,
Speaker 2: far off kind of fairy tale things that I don't know, but.
Speaker 4: There should that be Elon Musk is the head of it.
Speaker 5: He can't well, I mean, he could be the head
Speaker 5: of the party, but he can't run for office.
Speaker 1: No, I know, but I'm just saying, but yeah, Or
Speaker 1: is he just the guy behind the scenes who funds everything.
Speaker 2: That's that's what he does with his businesses. He's not
Speaker 2: the rocket scientist, he's not the electric car inventor.
Speaker 5: He's not the.
Speaker 2: Hole digger for the boring company or those are. He's
Speaker 2: the guy who administrates and puts those things together and
Speaker 2: builds the team of rocket scientists, electric car work. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's what he does. So I could totally see him
Speaker 2: being the head of a party and putting together a
Speaker 2: team that would you know, I don't know, cut through
Speaker 2: the Republican Democrat morass that we've seen ourselves.
Speaker 5: In, yeah, for two hundred years.
Speaker 1: That would require such a machine, such a crafted and
Speaker 1: a lot of money, nicely curated machine of people who
Speaker 1: who know what they're doing. I mean, who have been
Speaker 1: in the trenches long enough but not too long to
Speaker 1: know what you need to do to tear down the others.
Speaker 2: You'd have to find those smartest people in the room
Speaker 2: who hate politics, and I don't know if I mean
Speaker 2: just by nature of them hating politics or wanting to
Speaker 2: stay out of it, but still being the smartest people
Speaker 2: in the room.
Speaker 5: Great time you get people there.
Speaker 1: Well, wouldn't it be great to have a party of
Speaker 1: people just want to get things done, you know, using
Speaker 1: that Elon Musk energy and doge to cut through red
Speaker 1: tape and get things done or out the bureaucracy without
Speaker 1: the pork that's in the big beautiful bill.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be great? And to have it funded by
Speaker 2: somebody who's not beholden. Yeah, you're no special interest. And
Speaker 2: that's the thing I liked about Elon Musk from go
Speaker 2: mightd me of Arnold Schwarzenegger when he ran for governor.
Speaker 2: It was so refreshing to have someone get up there
Speaker 2: behind that podium and say I'm not beholden to anyone.
Speaker 1: I don't care about the special interests. I'm not here
Speaker 1: for the money. I'm not here for to run for
Speaker 1: president or what have you. Let's just get some stuff
Speaker 1: done in California. I mean that was so refreshing.
Speaker 5: Any developments will definitely break away.
Speaker 6: I give that.
Speaker 1: It's because Gray Davis was you know, weekend at Bernie situation.
Speaker 1: In terms of personality, it was a.
Speaker 5: Wet stack of paper.
Speaker 4: Tell yeah, maybe he's a great guy.
Speaker 5: If Kanye tweets anything about this, we'll definitely bring me
Speaker 5: will not.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six forty.
Speaker 5: Sometimes it gets a little confusing to say the same
Speaker 5: thing over and over again.
Speaker 4: Why is that?
Speaker 5: I don't know. I almost didn't say it right.
Speaker 4: Is this stroke day? It could be okay, have you
Speaker 4: made that doctor's appointment yet?
Speaker 1: No. I was listening to Mark Thompson and he was
Speaker 1: talking about how after forty I think he said, you
Speaker 1: start making all those appointments with the cardiologist and the proctologist.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: There was a bunch of ologists and I thought, wow,
Speaker 1: after forty that seems early, right, And then I thought, well,
Speaker 1: Gary's since seventy five and he has not seen a cardiologist.
Speaker 2: If you I feel like this is my interpretation of
Speaker 2: medical advice. Take into account pre existing conditions that you
Speaker 2: know about.
Speaker 5: I don't have any.
Speaker 2: Take into account family history. Like Dad had a heart
Speaker 2: attack when he was fifty five.
Speaker 4: Dad also smoked.
Speaker 5: Dad smoked for a very long time.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 2: Dad had had prostate cancer diagnosed when he was about sixty.
Speaker 5: So you I know what some of those things are.
Speaker 1: You had your prostate checked, right, Well, I had the
Speaker 1: numbers done.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I had the blood the PSA test. That was
Speaker 5: a couple of years ago, so there.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean well, because listen, we did the story the
Speaker 2: other day about these these wearable aura your aura ring.
Speaker 1: As your doctor, I'm just like me asking Google when
Speaker 1: something happened.
Speaker 2: I just mean that if you get too attached to them,
Speaker 2: the aora ring, your whoop bracelet, your Apple watch, whatever
Speaker 2: it is, and you rely on that thing and you're
Speaker 2: checking it every day.
Speaker 5: Am I pregnant? Am I not pregnant? Am I having
Speaker 5: a heart attack? Can I tell you? It warned me
Speaker 5: that I might be pregnant.
Speaker 4: Yeah, why was that?
Speaker 2: Something about that my overnight body temperature was high and
Speaker 2: my heart rate was elevated.
Speaker 1: I would throw the watch out of the freaking it's
Speaker 1: car if it said you might be pregnant.
Speaker 2: It said never live with me again. Multiple reasons why
Speaker 2: that happened.
Speaker 1: Could you imagine women, if you had a freaking watch
Speaker 1: that lit up is like, you might be pregnant.
Speaker 8: How about f you like that's a scare? Some people
Speaker 8: might be excited about that. Oh right, there is that
Speaker 8: just just to keep you, you know, tethered to something.
Speaker 8: There are people who would like that, to say that
Speaker 8: they're pregnant.
Speaker 2: But you get so paranoid about stuff that it's that
Speaker 2: It's i mean, not constant worry, anxiety, stress, whatever you
Speaker 2: want to call it, is more detrimental to your health
Speaker 2: than the knowledge of whatever's going on.
Speaker 1: I'm with you, I'm I'm just I am with you.
Speaker 1: Like I am one of the people who I do
Speaker 1: have a physical scheduled. I am doing that, but I
Speaker 1: am also just so I'm gonna do what I can
Speaker 1: to keep healthy and then if a wheel falls off,
Speaker 1: I'll get it looked at. But until then, I'm not
Speaker 1: hyper into checking everything out, and I don't want to
Speaker 1: know all of the diagnostics.
Speaker 5: Well, that that I think is the biggest issue.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm gonna take myself in for a smog
Speaker 1: check hoping I pass.
Speaker 4: If I don't, then I'll deal with that.
Speaker 5: Can you get you get into it right?
Speaker 2: You don't need the baseline checks of go in now,
Speaker 2: do the full panel of whatever you need to know
Speaker 2: so that five years from now they can look back
Speaker 2: and go, oh, well, when you were fifty two, these
Speaker 2: numbers were fine. We notice that they're a little elevated.
Speaker 2: Maybe you want to either change your diet, change that.
Speaker 1: Maybe we look into this a little bit kind already
Speaker 1: proactive in that regard, Like I think both of us
Speaker 1: have made changes in our diets and things to where
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, we're getting older.
Speaker 4: We can't do exactly what we used to do fifteen
Speaker 4: years ago.
Speaker 2: That story that we did also last week about the
Speaker 2: most important decade of your life, we're out of it now,
Speaker 2: Like you're out of it. Okay, well you are following
Speaker 2: very fast, you are gaining speed. I'll tell you that
Speaker 2: I got a couple of years left. But but that
Speaker 2: kind of thing is what you have to write.
Speaker 5: Nobody wants to. It's sorry, it's common said.
Speaker 2: You just have to make the realization that if you're
Speaker 2: going to drink six days a week, you're gonna wake
Speaker 2: up six mornings a week and feel like absolute dog.
Speaker 4: Turn right, and then your liver is gonna start hurting.
Speaker 2: I think I think it was Ricky Gervais who one
Speaker 2: time he uh, he was one of those guys who
Speaker 2: said he quit drinking, which just meant he quit getting
Speaker 2: hammered every night.
Speaker 5: He didn't stop drinking, he just stopped drinking to excess.
Speaker 4: What a luxury.
Speaker 2: And so you know, in interviews he'll talk about, you know,
Speaker 2: being finger quotes sober with a beer in his hand.
Speaker 5: But he'll talk about, but now I can do it responsibly.
Speaker 2: I can do I can I can enjoy the taste
Speaker 2: of a beer maybe two, and I wake up and
Speaker 2: I feel okay, and I I don't feel dog tired,
Speaker 2: and my liver doesn't hurt.
Speaker 5: He used to, he used to talk about it true.
Speaker 5: So yeah, it is just a common sense, okay. And
Speaker 5: there's different versions of it now too.
Speaker 2: I'll say that because one of the my wife and
Speaker 2: I were talking about this exact topic last week, and
Speaker 2: there is a there is a move out there for.
Speaker 5: Just getting blood, just blood work.
Speaker 1: If that's all you do, just blood work, it tells
Speaker 1: there's the reason why Sarah Nos able to get so
Speaker 1: much money, because blood will tell you everything or.
Speaker 2: Damn lot of stuff, damn near a lot of and
Speaker 2: the things that would be I would be concerned about
Speaker 2: now are things that would come out in a blood test,
Speaker 2: whether it's p S, a numbers, or a heart, liver
Speaker 2: and all that sort of stuff that can be tracked with.
Speaker 1: You want Elma to check your prostate and the break god,
Speaker 1: Oh okay, that was too far that now. An hour ago, Elmer,
Speaker 1: you were like, are you inside of me in this hypothetical?
Speaker 4: So I'm just following your lead.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry. I don't have anything else to do with
Speaker 5: the rest of that conversation.
Speaker 7: Oh you don't.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right?
Speaker 1: I wish I could have backed away before it began,
Speaker 1: but no, here we are Gary and Shannon will continue.
