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: Hey, everybody, Neil savedra in for Gary and Shannon today.
Speaker 2: We're on vacation. I was on with Marlon Tez yesterday.
Speaker 2: I hope she will return tomorrow, but she's not feeling well.
Speaker 2: It's this place. It's this place.
Speaker 3: No, it's probably not this place.
Speaker 2: A horrible story out of the Long Beach area, and
Speaker 2: that our very own Blake trolley is on Blake.
Speaker 3: How are you, sir?
Speaker 4: Hey, Neil doing good? Yeah, just here in Long Beach.
Speaker 1: And this attack happened just south of downtown on Alamitos Beach,
Speaker 1: which is just a few blocks down from the little
Speaker 1: mini skyscrapers, if you will, high rises here in downtown
Speaker 1: Long Beach. Yesterday, early in the morning, about five in
Speaker 1: the morning, a guy says a homeless man broke into
Speaker 1: his beachfront condo, started a fight with the man, ended
Speaker 1: up stout the man a few times in the chest
Speaker 1: than taking off the man's stab was taken to a hospital.
Speaker 1: He is expected to survive, but he did have several
Speaker 1: stab wounds. Again all to the upper body. The homeless
Speaker 1: man was found nearby. Officers described him as being non compliant,
Speaker 1: and they say that they had to use les lethal
Speaker 1: rounds to take him into custody. He's facing assault with
Speaker 1: deadly weapon charges as well as burglary for breaking into
Speaker 1: that condo.
Speaker 2: Didn't they just try to get him housing because that's
Speaker 2: the problem, right, Blake. They just get him a house
Speaker 2: and they'll be fine.
Speaker 1: No, Well, all this does come at an interesting time
Speaker 1: for the city of Long Beach. Less than a month ago,
Speaker 1: August twelfth, AMMO went out to the city saying that
Speaker 1: the city was going to start sweeping more problematic homeless camps. Now,
Speaker 1: this doesn't mean every single homeless camp in the city,
Speaker 1: but it certainly meant homeless camps they said, on beaches,
Speaker 1: at parks, near libraries, camps that have racked up a
Speaker 1: lot of complaints with the neighbors, large camps, and caps
Speaker 1: that pose public safety threats. Now, city officials said that
Speaker 1: they would start with kind of an outreach model offering services,
Speaker 1: then resort to citations and possibly, in very rare cases, arrest,
Speaker 1: But they did note that if somebody's arrested, it's highly
Speaker 1: unlikely they'd spend a lot of time in jail. But nonetheless,
Speaker 1: here we are less than a month later, and we
Speaker 1: have a homeless man breaking into somebody's house and stabbing
Speaker 1: the guy. Interestingly, Neil, I spoke with one woman and
Speaker 1: she she lives in the same exact neighborhood where this
Speaker 1: home got broken into. And I said, how would you
Speaker 1: describe the homeless situation here? And she said, out of control.
Speaker 1: And she then proceeded to tell me a story that
Speaker 1: her home was recently almost broken into by a homeless woman.
Speaker 5: I was sitting in my living room table working on
Speaker 5: my computer because I work from home, and she just
Speaker 5: tried to open my door and walk in, and I
Speaker 5: was like, hey, what are you doing. And she's like oh,
Speaker 5: and she waved at me like she knew me. I
Speaker 5: was like, get out of here. You don't belong here.
Speaker 5: And then she grabbed my plant and she tried to
Speaker 5: take off, you know, off my porch.
Speaker 4: And so you had a potted plant on the porch.
Speaker 5: You hat a potted plan on the little table on
Speaker 5: the porch. And I opened the door. It was like,
Speaker 5: that's not yours. Get out of here, give me that,
Speaker 5: and you know, and you struggle, right, you don't know
Speaker 5: if they're sick.
Speaker 1: And then she was telling me Neil also, so I
Speaker 1: had asked her how this is affecting people in the area,
Speaker 1: and she said, you know a lot of people that
Speaker 1: live here, they don't even go for walks anymore on
Speaker 1: the beach, or if they do walk, they walk in
Speaker 1: Paris because they just don't feel safe with the homeless
Speaker 1: situation in the area.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's becoming more and more like that. I
Speaker 2: this particular story you had mentioned that the officers had
Speaker 2: said that it was the individual was less than cooperative
Speaker 2: and they needed to use some less than lethal rounds.
Speaker 3: Correct.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's correct, So just to subdue the per individual
Speaker 2: and to get them into cuffs. You're talking about forty
Speaker 2: millimeter less than lethal rounds, which I've seen him close.
Speaker 2: But that is an insane story. This continues to go on.
Speaker 2: We're now about what a month and a half or
Speaker 2: so after Newsom came out and started putting pressure on
Speaker 2: the cities. I think Long Beach was a little molasses footed.
Speaker 2: And you know, I maybe just the appearance of sweeping
Speaker 2: the homeless up and off is unpleasant to people.
Speaker 3: I get it.
Speaker 2: It's unpleasant to me, but it needs to be done.
Speaker 2: This is yet another story coming out of Long Beach,
Speaker 2: this time about a homeless individual arrested. This case a
Speaker 2: sufficion of burglary and assault with a deadly weapon. Was
Speaker 2: that just because the person was defending their home.
Speaker 3: And was stabbed?
Speaker 1: Well, he said, the way he described it was that
Speaker 1: the guy broke into his house and started a fight.
Speaker 4: So, you know, it's still a little blurry. What exactly
Speaker 4: does that look like? Who knows?
Speaker 1: I mean, I think anytime somebody intrudes it on your home,
Speaker 1: there's already a perceived threat when you hear that. Officers also,
Speaker 1: you know how to use less than rounds. You could
Speaker 1: only imagine the kind of condition the guy was in
Speaker 1: when the homeowner, the condo holder i should say, confronted
Speaker 1: him and yeah, Neil, you know, one of the challenges
Speaker 1: that the city did lay out is, you know, essentially
Speaker 1: the city did acknowledge that this model of just clearing
Speaker 1: camps might just move people around. They also said that
Speaker 1: it might also further put people into jeopardy with trying
Speaker 1: to get back into housing, as the citations will create
Speaker 1: another burden for them. I'm curious to see though, if
Speaker 1: in another year homeless people move out of the city
Speaker 1: of Long Beach and somewhere else. I was looking at
Speaker 1: the numbers, you know, last year in the latest count
Speaker 1: I should say, there were three three hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: six people. That was down two point one percent from
Speaker 1: the numbers in twenty twenty three, where there was more
Speaker 1: than thirty four hundred homeless people in the city. What
Speaker 1: I'm curious about is if the city does take these
Speaker 1: measures and it continues to make things less comfortable for
Speaker 1: homeless people, will we steep decline next year in the
Speaker 1: numbers again.
Speaker 4: This enforcement started less than a month ago.
Speaker 1: So far, I've counted four parks and a library, as
Speaker 1: far as zones where they've cleared camps.
Speaker 3: Wow, and you know, much more to go.
Speaker 2: I know they're wrestling with how this needs to be done,
Speaker 2: but I will tell you what's not good is having
Speaker 2: you know, fairal humans at this point that don't know
Speaker 2: how to take care of themselves, and we think it's
Speaker 2: more humane to leave them on the streets with you know,
Speaker 2: melee weapons ready to go into people's houses.
Speaker 3: It's just nuts, right.
Speaker 4: I was always curious Neil when this story was coming.
Speaker 1: I mean we covered a big homeless encampment sweep in
Speaker 1: Venice a couple of years ago. Yes, and while people
Speaker 1: didn't say that they went actually into their homes, I
Speaker 1: got a couple stories of them going into people's yards
Speaker 1: to use the hose and you know, things of that nature.
Speaker 1: So I was always wondering when we were going to
Speaker 1: actually see it, you know, a full on break in
Speaker 1: like this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've had more than one confrontation with the homeless individual,
Speaker 2: one on my porch and once laying on the gate
Speaker 2: drug completely drugged out, you know, just a normal front
Speaker 2: yard gate. And we don't live in a big gated
Speaker 2: community or anything very you know, mainstream areas. I'm not
Speaker 2: rich by any big stretch and just laying passed out.
Speaker 2: It's sad that we think that the most humane thing
Speaker 2: to do is just leave them as they are.
Speaker 3: It's not about housing.
Speaker 2: You're not going to put a forty six year old
Speaker 2: homeless man who broke into someone's home to stab them
Speaker 2: in a house and go. Finally, I just needed a
Speaker 2: microwave for Pete's sakes. I got this hot pocket and
Speaker 2: thank you, but I appreciate you being out there. Blake
Speaker 2: trolley out in the streets getting the news for you today,
Speaker 2: This story out of Long Beach with a homeless intruder
Speaker 2: stabbing a man who was.
Speaker 3: In the home. Thanks all right, Nell, Thank you, all right,
Speaker 3: my friend.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Hey, everybody, Neil Savadra in four Gary and Shannon today.
Speaker 2: Happy to be with you. I will be in all week.
Speaker 2: Hopefully my partner in crime, Marla Teas will join me tomorrow.
Speaker 2: She started off feeling well last night during her late
Speaker 2: shift at Fox eleven, and so she's just resting today
Speaker 2: and we wish her the best and a quick recovery
Speaker 2: and hope that she will join me tomorrow and the
Speaker 2: remainder of the week as Gary and Shannon are out vacationing.
Speaker 2: Although you wouldn't know it the amount of times that
Speaker 2: Shannon keeps texting me, there are seven other iHeart radio.
Speaker 3: Stations in La Shannon, go ahead and choose.
Speaker 2: Hey, I'd love for you to join me on social
Speaker 2: media at Fork Reporter.
Speaker 3: At Fork Reporter.
Speaker 2: On social media, I am on Instagram quite a bit there.
Speaker 2: I posted a picture of a breakfast I'll put it
Speaker 2: that way. It was a big deal to me. I've
Speaker 2: passed it along to my boy Max, who loves.
Speaker 3: It as well.
Speaker 2: But the reactions of people, I'm like, wow, it's like
Speaker 2: a and I don't know if it was my dad
Speaker 2: or my mom that turned me on to it. I
Speaker 2: remember my brother Scott eating it. But anyways, that people's
Speaker 2: responses are making me smile. That people are like, oh,
Speaker 2: I remember that, or my dad was into that, or yes,
Speaker 2: it's one of my favorite things still, or when I'm
Speaker 2: not feeling well, so check that out at Fork Reporter
Speaker 2: on Instagram at fork reporter there on Instagram. A lot
Speaker 2: of moving going on in Round and Show Palace very days.
Speaker 3: We talked about this yesterday.
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, we spoke to the mayor
Speaker 2: over there, who is concerned. Obviously at this point, not
Speaker 2: only is the land moving, which is a problem, but
Speaker 2: also that gas was turned off in the area some
Speaker 2: gosh weeks ago or something, and then on Saturday they
Speaker 2: shut off the power. They continue to give warnings of
Speaker 2: evacuation the thing. The latest evactuation evacuation warning came at
Speaker 2: three twelve pm. The power was shut off, so residents
Speaker 2: were warned not to use water or plumbing after the
Speaker 2: electricity was shut off for fear of triggering a sewage
Speaker 2: spill in the area. The reality is this the city
Speaker 2: and Portuguese Bend community it I don't want to say
Speaker 2: it's done. I know that's dark. But the reality is
Speaker 2: this is not getting better. I have a doctor friend
Speaker 2: who says, you know, bad things don't get better, and
Speaker 2: think good things don't get worse. And in this particular case,
Speaker 2: you're looking at step after step after step of problems.
Speaker 2: And although this area Rancho's Palace Verdes has been moving
Speaker 2: for decades, a tiny bit here, a tiny bit there,
Speaker 2: that for the last twelve months or so, after the
Speaker 2: heavy rains in the spring of twenty twenty three, it
Speaker 2: has changed. It is moving incredibly quickly, to the tune of,
Speaker 2: you know, one and a half inches or so per day,
Speaker 2: give or take.
Speaker 3: That is massive.
Speaker 2: If you look at photos, they are breathtaking to see.
Speaker 2: The house is still standing, but the entire street caved in,
Speaker 2: just caved in. It looks like a disaster now. Thankfully,
Speaker 2: local law enforcement is upping their patrols there, not only
Speaker 2: on foot, but with drones, helicopters and the like to
Speaker 2: keep an eye on it. If you are stupid enough
Speaker 2: to go to that area to try and loot, you
Speaker 2: will be prosecuted. If not worse, we can keep our
Speaker 2: fingers crossed for the worst part. The thing that stands
Speaker 2: out to me in this story is not the helplessness
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 3: Yes, it looks helpless.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you shore up a sliding chunk
Speaker 2: of land. Now you have gas, that's a problem. Shut
Speaker 2: it off, power problem, shut it off. You can't use
Speaker 2: the plumbing. This should be condemned. You would not be
Speaker 2: able to live in a home like this anywhere. They
Speaker 2: wouldn't let you move into this home. So the so
Speaker 2: called evacuation warnings, I think at this time it's you
Speaker 2: prepare to get out of there. I know they gave
Speaker 2: the five p's or whatever it's people, pets, photos, paperwork,
Speaker 2: and the list of the things that you should have
Speaker 2: on hand to be able to get up and get
Speaker 2: out with. But it looks very bad. The problem, or
Speaker 2: the thing that stood out to me is that it's
Speaker 2: become a class issue. I've heard many times and read
Speaker 2: on social media that people have said, well, you know,
Speaker 2: it's rich people, so they can afford it, or they
Speaker 2: deserve it. Somehow, They shouldn't live in that area. Now, granted,
Speaker 2: if there is a geological problem there, then nobody should
Speaker 2: be living there. But in this particular case, I found
Speaker 2: that strange that that is what coming out. And I
Speaker 2: think a lot of this is the perception politically that
Speaker 2: the left and the right are protecting two different people.
Speaker 2: The right always look like they're protecting the rich, and
Speaker 2: the left always look like they're protecting the poor. And
Speaker 2: I make reference to that all the time. You've got
Speaker 2: the right that looks after the upper one percent and
Speaker 2: the left that looks after the lowest one percent. But
Speaker 2: in this particular case, we're kind of associating that someone's
Speaker 2: wealth with being bad. And what freaks me out is
Speaker 2: the American dream is to be successful. Now, for you,
Speaker 2: I have a particular mark of success, and it's not
Speaker 2: being rich. There's a certain mark where I say, this
Speaker 2: is where you can live comfortably, have money to give
Speaker 2: to your children, to charity, to interests, that you're at
Speaker 2: a good place. You don't need to buy everything, you
Speaker 2: don't need to do all those things. But this story,
Speaker 2: to me, the back the back door of the story
Speaker 2: of Rancho Pales Verdes is that people care less, even
Speaker 2: the governor, at least from yesterday or looking into anything today,
Speaker 2: has not reached back to the mayor or to the
Speaker 2: people of Rancho Palas Verdes. If it was a poor neighborhood,
Speaker 2: I would put money that Newsom would have already reached out.
Speaker 2: And it's just sad that that gets tied into a
Speaker 2: real need that can be seen, can be heard, felt
Speaker 2: and feared.
Speaker 3: That it gets tossed into that.
Speaker 2: And is Neil Savager and for Gary and Shannon Today,
Speaker 2: we'll be back with more.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Hey, everybody, it's the Gary and Shannon Show. Gas Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: that's kind of unfortunate. I mean, they focus on it
Speaker 2: being like the gas station, but it's kind of unfortunate
Speaker 2: the year then they have the gas bag. No, no, no, no, Deborah,
Speaker 2: I wasn't talking about Shannon. I mean the mail bag
Speaker 2: that they have.
Speaker 7: Oh, okay, I was a.
Speaker 3: Little sorry about that.
Speaker 7: That was kind of rude.
Speaker 2: Any who, Nil Savagra in happy to be with you.
Speaker 2: I believe my buddy Marla Taez is going to join
Speaker 2: me tomorrow and we'll be finishing out the rest of
Speaker 2: the week. As Gary and Shannon are on vacation, it's
Speaker 2: going to be hot, hot, hot, and you're gonna hear
Speaker 2: all those songs over and over and over again as
Speaker 2: southern California and all of those here in it get
Speaker 2: to enjoy this heat wave bringing massive temperatures again up
Speaker 2: to one hundred and nineteen degrees. Does it Does it
Speaker 2: feel like that's becoming the norm, like the high end norm,
Speaker 2: because now, like I remember walking out of the house yesterday,
Speaker 2: and of course I get up early, and it's cooler
Speaker 2: in the mornings, and you go and you do whatever.
Speaker 2: But then if I'm tooling around in the house, I
Speaker 2: don't feel it. If I'm in my shop, my shop
Speaker 2: doesn't have air conditioning. It's a converted garage, so there's
Speaker 2: no you know, air in there. Maybe a fan, so
Speaker 2: I can feel it in there, and then you go
Speaker 2: out and it's like boom. Well, we're looking at this
Speaker 2: triple digit heat becoming, you know, something to deal with
Speaker 2: this week, as the Los Angeles basin could reach one
Speaker 2: hundred and thirteen degrees by the weekend, and you know,
Speaker 2: in the Coachella Valley area, you're looking at one hundred
Speaker 2: and nineteen. Now I love the desert. I don't know
Speaker 2: who would be stupid enough to be traveling to the
Speaker 2: desert today. It's gonna be hot, but in those areas
Speaker 2: it gets incredibly high. I love going over there, you know. Obviously,
Speaker 2: going out to Marongo is wonderful.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 2: I love that they're pool that they have set up there,
Speaker 2: the Lazy River come on, ye boy, And going to
Speaker 2: Palm Springs and those areas are fantastic. But holy hell,
Speaker 2: this is typically the hottest time of the year when
Speaker 2: you're dealing with the climate and everything. But now we're
Speaker 2: going to be ten to fifteen degrees above normal. So
Speaker 2: we're already looking at some pretty hardcore days ahead of us.
Speaker 2: In the San Gabriel Valley, in the San Fernando Valley.
Speaker 2: I was in the San Fernando Valley this past weekend
Speaker 2: hanging out with family and in the shade, it was hot.
Speaker 8: I live in the west San Fernando Valley and let
Speaker 8: me tell you, Okay, it is so hot.
Speaker 2: So what were the temperatures, you know, for what was
Speaker 2: the temperature for you on Sunday m I.
Speaker 7: Would say about one hundred and five.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it So what do you do, Deborah?
Speaker 2: I mean do you get like, uh, you know, the
Speaker 2: top of a bottle, a twist off from the top bottle,
Speaker 2: fill it with some ice water and jump in or
Speaker 2: a thimble or something.
Speaker 8: No, I just don't really go outside. I walk my
Speaker 8: dogs at about six forty in the morning.
Speaker 3: Oh smart, you go out early.
Speaker 8: And unfortunately I don't take them for another walk where
Speaker 8: I used to because it's just it's just too hot.
Speaker 8: So until it cools down, my poor dogs get one dog,
Speaker 8: I mean, one walk a day.
Speaker 7: It's just it's too hot.
Speaker 2: You can't make a makeshift pull out of a soap dish,
Speaker 2: I mean, any I just worry about you.
Speaker 7: Why do you worry about me?
Speaker 3: Because you're very small?
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I'm inside with the air conditioner on. Okay,
Speaker 8: I'm good, but I appreciate you're.
Speaker 7: Worried about me. I'm good.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you. I don't think it's gonna be an
Speaker 2: earthquake that takes you. I think it's going to be
Speaker 2: the heat.
Speaker 7: No, it's an earthquake.
Speaker 4: Let me tell you.
Speaker 7: I am I'm not afraid of I'm afraid of the eat.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I fear that you're gonna shrivel up and
Speaker 2: people are gonna think it's a raisin and someone's gonna
Speaker 2: put you in like a salad.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and they know what I'm maybe when I'm not.
Speaker 3: I don't with that kind of heat.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, I'm just saying it's a concern.
Speaker 7: Okay, Well, I do appreciate your concerns very much.
Speaker 2: One hundred and five is hot at that And I
Speaker 2: have a thing. Okay, So we have a small pool.
Speaker 2: It is not big. It's twelve by twenty four roughly,
Speaker 2: and my wife loves to swim. She has one of
Speaker 2: those tether things that tethers her to the center so
Speaker 2: that she can do laps like or endurance like all that.
Speaker 2: So it's not a big pool, but you can splash
Speaker 2: in it. However, because it's not a very big pool,
Speaker 2: and it's not a very deep pool that with the
Speaker 2: cover and the security cover on it gets up to
Speaker 2: ninety seven ninety five easy, just because it's in the sun.
Speaker 7: You don't have so you don't have a pool heater
Speaker 7: or you don't.
Speaker 3: We do, but we don't use it.
Speaker 2: We only use it because we usually it probably comes
Speaker 2: on near the end of October. Let's say, okay, but
Speaker 2: I like the pool like eighty six eighty seven because
Speaker 2: on a hot day you feel like you're cooled down.
Speaker 2: I don't want to get in and feel like I'm
Speaker 2: in the spot.
Speaker 7: Oh No, I need it in the nineties.
Speaker 8: And we don't want to heat our pool because it's
Speaker 8: just too expensive. So I hardly ever go in because
Speaker 8: I need it to be hot, even if it's one
Speaker 8: hundred and five out.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm just putting down schedule playdate for Tracy and
Speaker 2: Deborah to frolic in the ninety five degree Yes.
Speaker 7: That's the best. Oh cold pools.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you and my son will get along too, because
Speaker 2: he's now based on that because it's a dark bottom
Speaker 2: pool and the sun hits us. The sun in our
Speaker 2: place we have almost zero shade.
Speaker 7: Yeah, same with me because it goes east.
Speaker 3: To west and it's it just bakes us the whole day.
Speaker 8: But I don't have one of those pool covers on.
Speaker 8: So that's probably why my pool just maybe it maybe
Speaker 8: sometimes when it's so hot one hundred and fifteen out,
Speaker 8: maybe it'll get to eighty And I'm telling you that's
Speaker 8: just not warm enough to stick his body in there.
Speaker 2: Do you think you've got to have body fat to
Speaker 2: keep yourself warm. That's why there's blubber on animals that
Speaker 2: are in the ocean. So have a sandwich.
Speaker 7: I I do a dwiches all the time.
Speaker 2: I will tell you there's nothing more relatable to people
Speaker 2: than us talking about how warm our pools are on
Speaker 2: a hot day.
Speaker 3: So I apologize everybody. That was my.
Speaker 7: First world problem.
Speaker 2: Yes indeed right. Not how I grew up is all
Speaker 2: I'm saying. But all that said, take care of yourself.
Speaker 2: Get in the cool area, drink lots of water if
Speaker 2: you're if you're sweating, the basic rule is everybody's body
Speaker 2: is going to be different. But on a warm day,
Speaker 2: if you're not being terribly active, you're looking at about
Speaker 2: a half an ounce of water per body pound.
Speaker 3: Per hour.
Speaker 7: And you know what, don't leave your your car your car.
Speaker 7: Don't leave your pets in the car. People still don't
Speaker 7: understand that. Leave your pets at home.
Speaker 8: People, it's way too hot. Do not bring them on
Speaker 8: your errands. And I know that that sounds so obvious.
Speaker 8: Oh no, but it really isn't.
Speaker 2: Okay, let me tell you how obvious it's not. So
Speaker 2: back in the Tim and Neil days. So you're talking
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety nine, two thousand, you know that area when
Speaker 2: I was co hosting with my partner Tim Kelly, who's
Speaker 2: now married to Michelle Cube, and we did a thing
Speaker 2: where I went out with a cell phone I think,
Speaker 2: I don't know if we had the MIC's out there
Speaker 2: and just went to a random mall on a hot
Speaker 2: day to find if anyone left their kids or animals
Speaker 2: in and we found a child, a child, yeah, if
Speaker 2: I remember, it was a child. And we got the
Speaker 2: police and we got every but in't that crazy. Fire
Speaker 2: department came like randomly. We just wanted to see if
Speaker 2: all those stories we heard. It's like, does this really happen?
Speaker 2: And it did, And we found one that day, randomly
Speaker 2: just walking a mall parking lot.
Speaker 7: I mean, are people just stupid or do they just not? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Just stop there, it's easy, it's easiest.
Speaker 7: I was trying to be nice, but you know what,
Speaker 7: I don't feel nice.
Speaker 8: No.
Speaker 2: People are selfish. Yes, people are selfish, and they want
Speaker 2: whatever is convenient for them. I don't want to wake
Speaker 2: the baby up, I don't want to bring the dog in.
Speaker 2: I don't you know, it's like I'm just going to
Speaker 2: be a minute.
Speaker 8: Or when people just leave their dogs outside in this
Speaker 8: horrible heat for whatever reason. I mean, don't get me started.
Speaker 2: I had a neighbor parking our driveway, didn't call, didn't
Speaker 2: knock on the door or nothing, parking our driving one
Speaker 2: day and I was like, what is what is happening?
Speaker 2: There's no one in the car and it sat there
Speaker 2: for like twenty thirty minutes. God, I didn't need to
Speaker 2: go anywhere.
Speaker 7: But why was the blocking show?
Speaker 2: They finally came out and I'm like, what the hell?
Speaker 2: And she goes, oh, I needed to take a shower
Speaker 2: and couldn't find parking.
Speaker 7: So she parked in your driveway.
Speaker 3: Yes, who does that?
Speaker 7: Weirdos?
Speaker 2: And that person has done it before into someone else's
Speaker 2: driveway on a rainy day and they came home, didn't
Speaker 2: recognize the car, and was like, what the hell they
Speaker 2: couldn't park there? That is that's a whole different kind
Speaker 2: of mentality that comes from a selfishness or oblivious to
Speaker 2: other humans. I don't know, go figure all right, So
Speaker 2: don't be hot, drink liquids, don't put anything in the
Speaker 2: car that can die, And I'm pretty basic.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: am six forty.
Speaker 3: How do you how do everybody?
Speaker 2: Nil Cevader filling in for Gary and Shannon today on
Speaker 2: this fine tasty look at me all Shannony tasty Tuesday.
Speaker 2: I think it was there mema or something that said
Speaker 2: Tuesday her grandmother h'sdy, thanks for hanging out today. They
Speaker 2: kids are on vacation. I was supposed to be with
Speaker 2: Marlataeus today as I was yesterday. She is a little
Speaker 2: bit under the weather, but it sounds like she's getting better.
Speaker 2: Our very own Debor Mark spoke to her earlier and
Speaker 2: fingers crossed, she'll be in with us tomorrow and the
Speaker 2: remainder of the week as we basically just take over take.
Speaker 3: Over this entire joint during nine to one.
Speaker 2: Speaking of takeovers, you got a car on fire, dealership damaged.
Speaker 2: Massive overnight street takeover multiple Now it's not even like
Speaker 2: this one street takeover now, it's takeovers across Los Angeles
Speaker 2: last night, kyr Cars. If you saw these images, I
Speaker 2: saw them on ABC seven.
Speaker 3: Massive car on fire.
Speaker 2: A dealership locally was broken into two massive and chaotic
Speaker 2: street takeovers in Los Angeles area overnightth first one happened
Speaker 2: around twelve eight am and that was at Florence and Normandy.
Speaker 2: Recognize the names of the streets, sure you do, so
Speaker 2: those avenues in the South LA area, and the LAPD
Speaker 2: is putting out that information. Also, police confirmed that a
Speaker 2: car was set on fire. The video is just insane.
Speaker 2: It just shows the car engulfed middle of the intersection,
Speaker 2: crowded spectators watching from the sidewalk, phones in hands.
Speaker 3: All of that. No arrests were made, no injuries were
Speaker 3: reported at the incident.
Speaker 2: The second takeover happened around three thirty am at Jefferson
Speaker 2: Boulevard and Figaroa Street in the University Park area, So
Speaker 2: fireworks thrown all over the place. Maybe that's what set
Speaker 2: the car on fire. But more video continues to come
Speaker 2: out as these geniuses post it, people running away, loud
Speaker 2: boom sounds, all kinds of chaos. Also shows another car
Speaker 2: on fire. We don't know from the information from LAPD
Speaker 2: whether it was on purpose or accidental. Sometimes cars can
Speaker 2: not only can tires catch on fire at high speeds
Speaker 2: and burnouts things like that, but also you can overheat
Speaker 2: parts of the car.
Speaker 3: And it can get pretty crazy.
Speaker 2: Authorities also confirmed that somebody was breaking windows in a
Speaker 2: near my car dealership. Now I'm looking at this to
Speaker 2: see if it was the one that I saw a
Speaker 2: little bit earlier on Channel seven ABC, But there was one.
Speaker 2: It was crazy. So imagine this car doing those typical doughnuts,
Speaker 2: all that insanity in the middle of the road onlookers
Speaker 2: way too close to the vehicle, and also a couple
Speaker 2: of wing nuts and knuckleheads hanging out of the back windows.
Speaker 3: Right, you got the picture.
Speaker 2: Then there's another one where now the cars stopped, the
Speaker 2: hood is open, and.
Speaker 3: You've got people looking into it.
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is maybe when the fire started,
Speaker 2: whatever it was, but two of those wing nuts.
Speaker 3: Not one, but two. We're wearing Lows vests.
Speaker 2: I didn't like they got off work or something and
Speaker 2: ran over there, and it's like maybe one you'd think,
Speaker 2: but two.
Speaker 3: I think it was Low's. The only thing.
Speaker 2: That confused me is they were red and white, I think,
Speaker 2: and Low's is blue and white. But whatever I looked like.
Speaker 2: I said, Low's on the back, and I was like,
Speaker 2: nobody has shame. So this is what came to mind yesterday.
Speaker 2: Excuse me for a second, nasty cough.
Speaker 7: Oh I was gonna say, bless you.
Speaker 3: Oh No, I still fight in this the tail end
Speaker 3: of this cold or COVID.
Speaker 7: Really, I was just in there a few minutes ago
Speaker 7: with the kidding.
Speaker 3: It was a cold and.
Speaker 2: Yesterday my wife and my boy were hanging out and
Speaker 2: my wife was explaining about water, the density of water,
Speaker 2: and she's showing this little sinsy thing to my son,
Speaker 2: and I jump in and start talking about how water
Speaker 2: finds its level. And it was an old way and
Speaker 2: old method. I hate to get all house whispery on you,
Speaker 2: but there's an old way to measure without basic measuring
Speaker 2: tools is to use a jug of water and out
Speaker 2: with a hose clear hose attached to it. What you'd
Speaker 2: do is you'd hang the water line on the height
Speaker 2: of one pole, and then if you had multiple poles
Speaker 2: that you wanted to be cut to that exact same height,
Speaker 2: you'd move the clear tubing up and it would find
Speaker 2: its own balance. Okay, so it would be the same
Speaker 2: height as the other pole, and you could mark it
Speaker 2: and cut it and they'd all be the same height.
Speaker 2: So why am I telling you about that when I'm
Speaker 2: talking about cars on fire dealership's damage during an overnight
Speaker 2: street tego? It is because water finds its balance, and
Speaker 2: so does stupidity. Stupidity finds its own level because you know,
Speaker 2: what we're not dealing with anymore is basic crime. We
Speaker 2: are dealing with group crime everywhere. We have an epidemic
Speaker 2: of organized crime or slightly organized or sort of disorganized
Speaker 2: crime going on, and we don't know how to deal
Speaker 2: with it or what to call it anymore. But basically,
Speaker 2: you're having stupid people being able to connect with more
Speaker 2: stupid people very quickly and say let's go ransack a
Speaker 2: seven to eleven. And with mob mentality comes less intelligence.
Speaker 2: The mob comes together and puts the ownership of god,
Speaker 2: what am I looking for, the ownership of morality, the
Speaker 2: ownership of sos, whatever it is, on someone else and says, well,
Speaker 2: if they're doing it, then it must be okay. That's
Speaker 2: a mob. Mantelli says. Somebody else is leading, I'm just following.
Speaker 2: And it creates a lot of stupidity, and you can
Speaker 2: get large groups of stupidity, and that is what's happening
Speaker 2: with street takeovers, with these groups that are going in
Speaker 2: and breaking into places, you know, and mass and this
Speaker 2: is a symptom that needs to be snuffed out very
Speaker 2: quickly because this leads to others ugly things, group rapes,
Speaker 2: breaking into homes, doing all the This is a bad thing.
Speaker 2: Do not think that it is young peopeople blowing off steam.
Speaker 2: This is stupidity and crime incorporating and that will become
Speaker 2: the next massive problem, and we're seeing it grow unless
Speaker 2: we snuff it out. It is more important than we
Speaker 2: think because we think, oh, well, it's a seven to eleven,
Speaker 2: they're going to recoup this or whatever, or it's just
Speaker 2: the streets they're making noise. No, that's not what's happening.
Speaker 2: The line is being pushed and shifting, and now that
Speaker 2: becomes the standard, and then the new crime will be
Speaker 2: based on that. This is exactly what happened during prohibition.
Speaker 2: When you squelch one thing like drinking, you ended up creating,
Speaker 2: basically in the United States, creating the mafia, an organized crime,
Speaker 2: not that it didn't exist in one way or another before,
Speaker 2: but they did that, and when that prohibition went away,
Speaker 2: they had to recreate other business and other crimes. So
Speaker 2: you push the line and then it's going to start
Speaker 2: from there next time. Neil Savadra in for Gary and
Speaker 2: Shannon today, Happy to be with you on this tasty Tuesday.
Speaker 2: We've got so much to get to today, including swamp
Speaker 2: watch some interesting things. Actually I'm not you know, the
Speaker 2: politics to me can be more annoying because it's so
Speaker 2: much subterfuge and dancing around. And then we'll get into
Speaker 2: tasty Tuesday. What's happening a so called TikToker Chase Bank glitch?
