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: It is May twenty ninth.
Speaker 3: We're live at Cell Block G today because our main
Speaker 3: studio is undergoing some sort of a fix.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: In the break, guys, we started talking about drugs and
Speaker 1: we were oh yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 2: We went from we were convinced.
Speaker 3: By the end of the show today we will have
Speaker 3: tried uh pruno, you know, the toilet wine that they
Speaker 3: make in jail, and some sort of butter.
Speaker 2: Rice Christians Country.
Speaker 1: You find out what you're made of when you're on
Speaker 1: the inside, and we're not.
Speaker 5: Made of much.
Speaker 2: We are.
Speaker 5: We are crumbling also very quickly.
Speaker 3: If you guys might help me out, I have I
Speaker 3: have two invitations to join a couple of gangs already
Speaker 3: here in Yeah.
Speaker 5: Okay, so there's only four of us.
Speaker 3: Well one of them is just one of them is
Speaker 3: just the white power thing. I don't know if I'm
Speaker 3: I'm not down with the with the ideology, but I
Speaker 3: mean in terms of like protection and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to do a lot more push ups
Speaker 1: to hold the white power flag. Well, then the other
Speaker 1: gang is because you're out numbered, is the Clean.
Speaker 2: Boys gang, which I had never heard of.
Speaker 1: Oh tell me more about the clean That's it's just
Speaker 1: like you could.
Speaker 2: Only they said. The only requirement is no tattoos.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, you don't have, right, So I I qualify
Speaker 3: for that.
Speaker 1: I could probably tattoo you with a pen while we're
Speaker 1: in here.
Speaker 5: Do you think we should do.
Speaker 2: That prison tat? Huh?
Speaker 1: Howard cheek like a ballpoint pen and I and I.
Speaker 2: Start jabbing it into my skin.
Speaker 5: And it bleeds? Does it stay?
Speaker 4: See?
Speaker 1: These are things you have early on when you get
Speaker 1: into prison. These are Oh thank you.
Speaker 5: You use a sharpie. A sharp sharpe will leave a
Speaker 5: lasting long It will last a little longer.
Speaker 2: Oh hell yeah, hell yeah.
Speaker 3: Okay, So give me you need something to give me
Speaker 3: a risk. You need to poke into my skin and
Speaker 3: then put.
Speaker 1: I have the I have this sharper pen, and then
Speaker 1: I should use the you to use a paper clip.
Speaker 3: Here's there's some pushpins over there that'll work. There we
Speaker 3: go all right, and.
Speaker 5: Then I put the sharpie ink in your bloodstream.
Speaker 2: Sounds about right.
Speaker 3: Hey, We told you a couple of weeks ago about
Speaker 3: that Smokey Robinson lawsuit these four women accuse him of
Speaker 3: sexual abuse for years. He has now filed a counter
Speaker 3: suit for five hundred dollars.
Speaker 4: Good.
Speaker 1: He should, He should because listen, like I've said from go,
Speaker 1: Smokey Robinson is no saint.
Speaker 5: I don't know that. It's just a guess.
Speaker 1: You don't look like that and go through that many
Speaker 1: decades in the music career and not get what you
Speaker 1: want when it comes to women and things.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: But had he been the kind of person to assault
Speaker 1: women that doesn't start when you're seventy eight years old,
Speaker 1: that is something we would have heard about retroactively. We
Speaker 1: would have heard about it decades ago. And that's not
Speaker 1: who he is, because we would have heard about it
Speaker 1: if that was who he is.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: Remember, so we saw this lawsuit from the four women
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago. According to this counter suit,
Speaker 3: Smokey Robinson and his wife Francis alleged that these four
Speaker 3: housekeepers tried to extort one hundred million dollars from them
Speaker 3: last year.
Speaker 1: It's transparent to me that they stayed around. They probably
Speaker 1: tried to elicit behavior that they could then turn around
Speaker 1: and sue for a great deal.
Speaker 5: Of money.
Speaker 3: For other quick celebrity news. Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence
Speaker 3: are now officially in laws. Eddie's oldest son married Martin
Speaker 3: Lawrence's oldest daughter.
Speaker 2: Oh that's cool, married earlier this month.
Speaker 5: All right, we.
Speaker 1: Are running out of time, so we'll get to it
Speaker 1: coming up next.
Speaker 2: But this is the story.
Speaker 1: This was a news item that didn't receive too much attention.
Speaker 1: There was a mother's body found downtown LA and the
Speaker 1: Westlake neighborhood. Still don't know how she died, but the
Speaker 1: family is blaming Los Angeles for not clearing these encampments
Speaker 1: like the one where mom died ops. When her family
Speaker 1: went to go look for her, they found her body
Speaker 1: being eaten by dogs. I mean, that's really the awful,
Speaker 1: awful thing that makes the headline and makes this story
Speaker 1: stick around. But the fact that a mother, a forty
Speaker 1: six year old mother, was found dead in this homeless
Speaker 1: encampment that happened under the rules of Los Angeles, that
Speaker 1: happened under the lack of rules of Los Angeles. When
Speaker 1: you're legislating with feelings for homeless people and you're legislating, Oh,
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. I don't want to
Speaker 1: force them into jail or off the street, or take
Speaker 1: away their cardboard box or their tents or whatever.
Speaker 5: That's not cool.
Speaker 1: The people on the West Side and their ivory towers,
Speaker 1: they don't like that. It's not good for me politically.
Speaker 1: So I'll just let anything go. Well, when you let
Speaker 1: anything go, anything goes to the tune of what could
Speaker 1: be multiple murders. And as a city on the hook
Speaker 1: for that, this family says it should be, and I
Speaker 1: got to agree with them.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that when we come back.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: You ever race a Ferrari on an F one track?
Speaker 1: Sounds like fun, isn't it done?
Speaker 4: That?
Speaker 1: Would you open it up? I mean, would you really
Speaker 1: take advantage? Or would you go thirty five?
Speaker 2: I'm in a Ferrari on an F one track. Would
Speaker 2: you'd have to? Wouldn't you?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 2: You, even if it scared the living crap out of.
Speaker 5: You, you'd have to, now, yes, you would.
Speaker 2: A couple stories that were following.
Speaker 3: Also, a federal court has block President Trump from imposing
Speaker 3: tariffs on imports using an emergency powers law. So that
Speaker 3: kind of throws everything into question.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: Global financial markets have been rattled for the last couple
Speaker 3: of months because of these tariffs, and actually shot up
Speaker 3: today as a result of this ruling. It's from the
Speaker 3: US Court of International Trade. The Trump administration immediately appealed.
Speaker 1: There is a story going around about I don't want
Speaker 1: to butcher her name. Lucrecia Lucretia Lucretia Lucretia Baranjas, forty
Speaker 1: six years old, found dead, oh, right around Mother's Day
Speaker 1: by one of our three daughters. This is a US
Speaker 1: Army veteran found dead by one of our three daughters.
Speaker 1: One of the daughters used the Find my iPhone app
Speaker 1: to find her mom, and she did. A large tarp
Speaker 1: covered shelter in a notorious Westlake cul de Sac that
Speaker 1: is home to a homeless encampment. There was another dead
Speaker 1: person in the encampment, a guy thirty nine year old man,
Speaker 1: along with two live dogs that were taking advantage of
Speaker 1: the situation, shall we say. The LAPD says that this
Speaker 1: was a suspected drug overdose, and the family says.
Speaker 5: That the LA was too quick to rule out foul play.
Speaker 3: Part of the reason the family believes there may be
Speaker 3: something nefarious here is that there were a couple other
Speaker 3: people in that area at the time. Just before the
Speaker 3: bodies were found, they said they heard a woman screaming
Speaker 3: for help very early in the morning, and the witnesses
Speaker 3: said that the screaming was coming from the direction of
Speaker 3: the makeshift tent, but nobody really intervened. It was the
Speaker 3: next day that the witnesses learned of Lucretia's death and
Speaker 3: the guy that was with her. No established relationship between
Speaker 3: those two anyway at this point, but Lucretia's family says
Speaker 3: that she was an Army veteran.
Speaker 2: She was a loving mother.
Speaker 3: The oldest daughter had been diagnosed with cancer three years
Speaker 3: ago and suffered from depression, but said she did everything
Speaker 3: in her power to support the family. Another sister says
Speaker 3: mom cared deeply for other people who might have been
Speaker 3: struggling and would bring clothes and food to homeless people,
Speaker 3: even if she didn't have that much money herself.
Speaker 5: Now the family is upset with the LAPD.
Speaker 1: They believe it was a murder, that something was nefarious,
Speaker 1: and I don't blame the LAPD.
Speaker 5: It's not my business, not my mom, it's not my family.
Speaker 2: But let's just.
Speaker 1: Look about let's look around at the environment that this
Speaker 1: happened in. At least two signs on the street show
Speaker 1: the area is designated as a forty one point one
Speaker 1: eight Special Enforcement Zone, which prohibits people from camping in
Speaker 1: the area camping. The signs were put up there in
Speaker 1: July twenty twenty two, but.
Speaker 5: They do no good. Obviously.
Speaker 1: There have been numerous reports about encampments there. This is
Speaker 1: just something that goes on in several different pockets of
Speaker 1: the city. This is an area that has been mired
Speaker 1: in gang violence, drug use, homelessness, organized retail theft. City
Speaker 1: officials say they had made progress in addressing the issue
Speaker 1: and that reported crime has dropped in recent months, with
Speaker 1: the exception of burglaries and break inst's.
Speaker 2: Stop pull the car over right there, all the crime
Speaker 2: but except that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if I live in the area and my home's
Speaker 1: broken into, and they're like, no, no crimes down except
Speaker 1: for you know, the break in, except for you burglaries
Speaker 1: and break ins. I mean, isn't that quality of life
Speaker 1: right there? What are you cracking down on people selling
Speaker 1: drugs to each other? I don't care about that. This
Speaker 1: is some people break it into my house for money
Speaker 1: for drugs in the middle of the night.
Speaker 2: This story of Lucretia brajass Is.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately exemplifies the biggest issues that come with homelessness, because
Speaker 3: obviously city officials have and i'll use air quotes here,
Speaker 3: tried to clear some of these encampments by helping people
Speaker 3: get into housing and giving them access to support services.
Speaker 1: Right, they say it's more compassionate, it's compassion, But where
Speaker 1: where is the compassion and letting people die from their
Speaker 1: addictions and from the ridiculous environments you've allowed to flourish
Speaker 1: in your city in these encampments. It's the wild wild West.
Speaker 1: It's awful. Where's the compassion there? And this is the
Speaker 1: point I always go back to, you're one of my friends.
Speaker 1: I have compassion for you. If I find out that
Speaker 1: you're living in a tent downstairs and shooting up meth
Speaker 1: I am not going to let you continue to do
Speaker 1: that out of compassion. That's not compassion for you. That's
Speaker 1: not me being a friend to you. Me being a
Speaker 1: friend to you is pulling you out of that tent
Speaker 1: and forcing the situation to change. I mean, you can't
Speaker 1: force anyone to get out of their addiction, but you
Speaker 1: certainly don't need to enable it. You don't need to
Speaker 1: make it easy for them, and that's what the city does.
Speaker 3: And whenever we talk about this, we talk about people
Speaker 3: who are hooked on drugs, who are dealing with mental
Speaker 3: issues that then turn into drug addiction.
Speaker 2: And however it works that.
Speaker 3: A lot of people, current people listening have said to
Speaker 3: us they were the worst, lowest points of their lives.
Speaker 3: The only reason they were alive today is because they
Speaker 3: were sighted, they were taken to jail, they did a
Speaker 3: stint in state prison, they did something, something got them
Speaker 3: cleaned up. It wasn't just a homeless liaison walking around
Speaker 3: a tent camp and going but don't you want to
Speaker 3: stay in a beautiful supportive care home. Don't you want
Speaker 3: The carrots that they extend to these people that live
Speaker 3: on the streets are not enough motivation to get people
Speaker 3: off the streets.
Speaker 2: There has to be some stick.
Speaker 3: And I'm not talking about the Mahogany hairwash kind of
Speaker 3: thing where you walk around and just start beating people.
Speaker 2: But you've got to cite people.
Speaker 3: You've got to make it criminal again to live in
Speaker 3: areas that it's illegal to live in. I mean, you
Speaker 3: mentioned this is a special enforcement zone, this specific homeless
Speaker 3: in camp that we're talking about, but that the city
Speaker 3: does want to do that because they feel that that's
Speaker 3: that's not the empathetic way to go.
Speaker 1: There should be a different passion, there should be a
Speaker 1: different reason they use, because that's not compassion.
Speaker 5: It just isn't.
Speaker 1: You're making it comfortable for people to continue doing the
Speaker 1: stuff that's killing them. And again, you can't force them
Speaker 1: into treatment, can't force them into a housing facility. I
Speaker 1: understand all that, but enabling them to just stay there
Speaker 1: and put their lives in danger under your watch essentially
Speaker 1: is not the answer. And it's not it's the opposite
Speaker 1: of compassion in difference. It's in difference you're indifferent to
Speaker 1: what they're doing. And that is right up there with
Speaker 1: the opposite of love.
Speaker 2: That's more dangerous. Yeah, that's more dangerous. All right?
Speaker 5: Are we able to talk about something good?
Speaker 2: No, we're gonna talk about that.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, it's making something good out of something tragic.
Speaker 5: This is just a America, is what this is?
Speaker 2: Entrepreneur?
Speaker 1: You entrepreneur, Why is that word so difficult to say?
Speaker 1: Entrepreneurial spirit?
Speaker 2: You just said it. You sounded drunk when you said it,
Speaker 2: but you said it.
Speaker 1: It's too long. There's too much going on there. There's
Speaker 1: two there's ewes that just come at you.
Speaker 2: They fly at you.
Speaker 1: You're right in the middle of that word, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, there's a U, there's an R, there's
Speaker 1: a secret.
Speaker 3: I well, we'll go back to our remedial high school
Speaker 3: classes down at Cell Block D.
Speaker 1: I went to public school here in California, so I
Speaker 1: didn't learn words like entrepreneurial.
Speaker 2: Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: A M six forty.
Speaker 1: The monkeys, Oh, the monkey's stealing other monkeys. Yes, I
Speaker 1: never say the word right capuchin, Yes, right, capuchin. The
Speaker 1: Capuchin monkeys are stealing the howler monkeys babies.
Speaker 5: Is this China?
Speaker 2: What do you mean is this?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Do you think that the Chinese are now turning one?
Speaker 3: That they have pecies of monkeys.
Speaker 1: Against them, or that they have Yeah, that they have
Speaker 1: mobilized the monkeys to steal other monkeys, like the way
Speaker 1: they have mobilized our college students.
Speaker 3: A strange story out of Switzerland. One man is missing
Speaker 3: after the majority of a tiny little village in Switzerland
Speaker 3: was buried after a glacier collapsed, the Birch Glacier, the
Speaker 3: entire glacier collapsed. That caused a gigantic landslide. Footage showed
Speaker 3: ice and mud and debris flowing near Blatton, they said,
Speaker 3: about fifty five miles south of the capital of Burn.
Speaker 3: They say at the bottom of the valley, huge deposit
Speaker 3: of ice and rocks several dozen meters thick and approximately
Speaker 3: two kilometers long, buried most of the village of Blatten.
Speaker 3: The damage is considerable, adding that that one person I
Speaker 3: believe to be a sixty four year old man is
Speaker 3: still considered missing.
Speaker 2: Right now, you have a into.
Speaker 1: The La County Corner's office right there off North Mission Road.
Speaker 1: It's been made popular now by I believe. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's still on the air, but there was
Speaker 1: a documentary show North Mission Road for a long time
Speaker 1: about different cases, high profile cases that made their way
Speaker 1: through the corners office Ed Winter, you remember that name.
Speaker 1: But it's this like nondescript building off North Mission Road,
Speaker 1: right off the five there downtown La East La area.
Speaker 1: And you know, we'd go there for interviews and things
Speaker 1: like that when we were when we were reporters and
Speaker 1: a celebrity would die and you would go there and
Speaker 1: it's just just this run down It's it's kind of
Speaker 1: like when you go to Hollywood and you're like, this
Speaker 1: is Hollywood.
Speaker 2: This is it.
Speaker 5: Huh.
Speaker 1: You know, in your mind it's this big deal in
Speaker 1: North Mission Road and the Ellie County Corner's Office is
Speaker 1: a big deal and it's not. It's like this you know,
Speaker 1: building built in the late sixties, run down and anyway,
Speaker 1: it gets a lot of media attention because of well
Speaker 1: all the bodies that have.
Speaker 5: Gone through there.
Speaker 1: And somebody had the brilliant idea to open up a
Speaker 1: Corner's gift shop, a gift store adjacent to the Corner's
Speaker 1: office where visitors could grab merchandise and it would help
Speaker 1: make money for an ailing office. I think the last
Speaker 1: time that the Corner's Office made big news, and it
Speaker 1: wasn't for a celebrity's body where we were determining cause
Speaker 1: of death and things like that. It was because they
Speaker 1: were so underfunded that there were bodies stacking up in
Speaker 1: the hallways.
Speaker 2: Right. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I I remember when was I became first aware of it,
Speaker 3: and I think it was because I did it as
Speaker 3: a story sometime in two thousand and four. Having not
Speaker 3: been in La I didn't realize that this was a thing,
Speaker 3: but it struck me at first as pretty insensitive. But
Speaker 3: if you had lost somebody's anywhere in La County and
Speaker 3: you realize that the corner of the tandling your loved
Speaker 3: one's body is also selling T shirts with a funny
Speaker 3: little chalk outline, that you might consider it insensitive. But
Speaker 3: I have shied away from that feeling and kind of
Speaker 3: get the idea that this is much more of somebody
Speaker 3: doing a creative thing and taking advantage of what is
Speaker 3: just a normal reality of a big city, which is
Speaker 3: there are people who die, and there are stories that
Speaker 3: can be told about them, and every once in a
Speaker 3: while you can buy a T shirt. I mean, it's
Speaker 3: just not necessarily a connection that the county for some
Speaker 3: reason isn't taking seriously the business of death that they
Speaker 3: are in.
Speaker 5: It's pretty creepy though.
Speaker 1: I mean you've seen in crime scene footage, whether it's
Speaker 1: on the news or in documentaries or movies. You know
Speaker 1: just that dark navy or or black shirt with the
Speaker 1: big blood lettering of white corner on the back of it,
Speaker 1: and they sell those shirts there.
Speaker 5: So yeah, dark humor.
Speaker 1: I guess meets Kitchie trinkets on beach towels with chalk outlines.
Speaker 1: They sell piggy banks shaped like nineteen thirties Area black Mariah.
Speaker 5: Hearst vans, toe tag keychains.
Speaker 2: And I do like the idea.
Speaker 3: I mean the County of LA's Department of Medical Examiner.
Speaker 3: This all started back when it was the County Coroner's
Speaker 3: office in the they said, in the early nineties, and
Speaker 3: they did a symposium. It's a big city, one of
Speaker 3: the one of the largest corner's offices in the country,
Speaker 3: and they would do a symposium for you know, basically
Speaker 3: for people in the industry. They'd come from around the
Speaker 3: country and probably from around the world to see how
Speaker 3: they do it in LA. And at the end of
Speaker 3: this symposium, they would give a souvenir coffee mug that
Speaker 3: just had the simple logo of at the time, the
Speaker 3: LA County Corner's Office. Well, that generated a lot of buzz,
Speaker 3: and the people who came to the symposium the next
Speaker 3: year were like, oh, are we getting Are we getting
Speaker 3: those cool mugs at the end?
Speaker 2: Can we get those cool mugs?
Speaker 3: And they realized that maybe what they should do is,
Speaker 3: you know, put their foot on the gas a little
Speaker 3: bit marketing wise. So they had a skeleton dressed up
Speaker 3: as a detective named Sherlock Bones, and they said that
Speaker 3: those those mugs flew off the shelves. And then it
Speaker 3: became the idea of Marilyn Lewis. She was the one
Speaker 3: who'd come up with the idea for that Sherlock Bones character.
Speaker 3: Why not do this gift store adjacent to the coroner's
Speaker 3: office where everybody could grab merchandise and then use the
Speaker 3: money to help what is a chronically underfunded part of
Speaker 3: county government, which is what they did. And I don't
Speaker 3: know how much money they're making every single year. Necessarily
Speaker 3: it's not gonna be enough. They said that it nets
Speaker 3: about are sorry. In nineteen ninety eight it had netted
Speaker 3: about seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars per year.
Speaker 1: You like to hold on to things. That's a nice
Speaker 1: way of saying that you're a hoarder. I don't think
Speaker 1: you're a hoarder, but you know that you have the
Speaker 1: hoarding tendencies. I think you've talked about this. I'm not
Speaker 1: putting words in your mouth.
Speaker 2: I'm a collector without clear reasoning.
Speaker 1: Okay, So When you start saying that you're a collector,
Speaker 1: you're moving into the unhealthy.
Speaker 5: I have the descriptors of a hoarding.
Speaker 3: When I saw this this morning, I specifically thought of
Speaker 3: one very specific example of something that I had capped
Speaker 3: but for no good reason. That I that I you
Speaker 3: could argue collected but for no good reason.
Speaker 5: Is this the quilt from the ex girlfriend?
Speaker 2: That is not it? Okay, it's worse.
Speaker 5: It's worse.
Speaker 2: It's worse. I can't wait, Aryan Shannon will get well.
Speaker 1: Just briefly, if you don't know the story, Gary had
Speaker 1: an ex fiance whose mom at one point made him
Speaker 1: a quilt. He broke up with the free fiance who
Speaker 1: was It wasn't a good.
Speaker 5: Breakup, and he kept the quilt for like years.
Speaker 2: I did anything else to put on my bed?
Speaker 5: On your bed?
Speaker 2: What do you mean, where else do you put a quilt?
Speaker 2: Why is that so weird?
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: About one hundred and thirty active fires, they say, burning
Speaker 3: across Canada today. A smoke from some of those wildfires
Speaker 3: likely to make its way into the Upper Midwest over
Speaker 3: the next couple of days.
Speaker 2: Uh Matoba. A good news story.
Speaker 3: There is a new fiber optic cable has been installed
Speaker 3: to try to fix the air traffic control issues around
Speaker 3: Newark International Airport. Secretary Transportation Sean Duffy announced the installation
Speaker 3: of the cable yesterday, said it replaces the troubled part
Speaker 3: of the line between Philly and New York and the
Speaker 3: good news is it should be ready for use by July.
Speaker 3: So just around the corner collector for no good reason.
Speaker 3: Here's my example. When we moved into the house that
Speaker 3: we're currently in, my kids were gosh, it's like fifteenth,
Speaker 3: twelve and fifteen something like that, and my wife was
Speaker 3: was putting stuff or we're packing up an underwear drawer,
Speaker 3: something like that, and as she opened my drawer she
Speaker 3: found something rattling in the back and realized that I
Speaker 3: had saved my children's teeth. And when asked why, I
Speaker 3: had no good reason.
Speaker 2: That's there. That's a bone collector reason.
Speaker 1: No. I think that that's normal. I think people do
Speaker 1: that it's sentimental.
Speaker 3: Only because I don't know, it feels wrong to throw
Speaker 3: away a baby teeth, right, yeah, and.
Speaker 2: Oh so you're on my team now, I am okay.
Speaker 5: In this situation. I think a lot of parents do that.
Speaker 2: So it's weird. It's weird.
Speaker 5: No, it's not. I don't think it's weird. I think
Speaker 5: it's pretty common.
Speaker 2: I completely But that doesn't mean it's not weird. It
Speaker 2: is weird.
Speaker 3: Why My question is why do we humans? Why do
Speaker 3: we do something like that.
Speaker 5: It's a piece of your kid.
Speaker 1: I mean it's like, it's don't touch a hair on
Speaker 1: my kid's head kind of thing. It's like your kid
Speaker 1: lost at tooth. That's my kid's baby teeth. I would
Speaker 1: totally keep those.
Speaker 5: I think that's normal.
Speaker 3: I honestly believe that my I know that my mother
Speaker 3: kept a clip of hair from my very first haircut,
Speaker 3: like put it like scotch taped it into the baby
Speaker 3: album kind of thing.
Speaker 2: This was the first little cutting.
Speaker 1: My mom won't even let me keep a T shirt
Speaker 1: in my former bedroom. My mom throws out everything, has
Speaker 1: thrown out everything. I brought it up to her last
Speaker 1: time I was up there. I was like, so you
Speaker 1: just don't care about nostalgia. I mean, she's just thrown
Speaker 1: she just throws out everything. I mean nothing remains you.
Speaker 1: I mean she she still has all my brother stuff.
Speaker 1: But in terms of me. There's no record of me
Speaker 1: ever existing in that home.
Speaker 2: I see.
Speaker 1: But she's like she called me the other day, She's like, oh,
Speaker 1: there's a pair of tennis shoes. I'm like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: left a pair of running shoes, if that's okay.
Speaker 5: Like I had to ask if it was.
Speaker 1: Okay to leave a pair of running shoes in her
Speaker 1: home because she's had me completely take everything and get
Speaker 1: rid of it.
Speaker 2: Is that and you're still not getting that message?
Speaker 1: Huh yeah, I should huh right, But yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: a lock of hair, things like that, that's all very normal.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 5: The quilt is much more trouble than the tilt.
Speaker 3: Okay, but the quilt was I was a poor college student,
Speaker 3: and I.
Speaker 5: Nothing about this is going to either.
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's other than that. You just don't
Speaker 1: throw things out. I mean it gave me.
Speaker 2: The engagement ring back. I threw that out.
Speaker 5: You threw it out.
Speaker 2: I mean I donated it to like goodwill or something like.
Speaker 5: That, an engagement ring.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what am I going to do with it? Sell
Speaker 3: it upawn it for how for twenty box up?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: No, you buy perfectly good drugs with that. Pawn money,
Speaker 1: all right, So there actually was a list twelve items
Speaker 1: you should never throw out, according to pro organizers. So
Speaker 1: if you are somebody who's a collector, we will tell
Speaker 1: you what it's okay to collect tools.
Speaker 5: Don't throw out tools.
Speaker 1: That's an easy one, right, yeah, But never get in
Speaker 1: trouble for that because women never wives never really get
Speaker 1: into the tool area.
Speaker 3: First of all, that's true, but they you can have
Speaker 3: too many tools. If you have a bunch of different
Speaker 3: sockets and they all fit the same thing, you can
Speaker 3: overdo it with tools. But in general, if you're not
Speaker 3: a tool person, like do you know where a hammer,
Speaker 3: a flathead screwdriver, and a fillip screwdriver are in your house?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 2: Those three things. Yes.
Speaker 3: Outside of that, I mean, call somebody. But if you
Speaker 3: like tools and you're handy with tools, you can keep
Speaker 3: a lot more than that.
Speaker 1: I feel like this is like cognitive dissonance for you
Speaker 1: to say things like you can overdo it with tools
Speaker 1: as long as you have a hamber on, a flathead screwdriver,
Speaker 1: and a phillip screwer, you're fine.
Speaker 2: Not making sense, baloney.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense, and it feels wrong for
Speaker 1: you to say those words.
Speaker 5: Doesn't it birthday?
Speaker 2: They say birthday cake candles.
Speaker 1: That's like me when I'm like, no, I don't want
Speaker 1: another glass of wine. Just every part of me is like,
Speaker 1: that's a lie.
Speaker 3: Birthday cake candles because you can ever find them. Umbrellas.
Speaker 3: We have three or four umbrellas in my house and
Speaker 3: I know where they are, and I don't think I've
Speaker 3: used one for years.
Speaker 5: But you want more, don't you.
Speaker 2: No, it's just one of those.
Speaker 1: I brought a bunch of umbrellas in here. You'd take
Speaker 1: them home and keep them for twenty five years.
Speaker 3: We got married in December, not just this December, many
Speaker 3: decembers ago. We got married in December and it rained
Speaker 3: the day of our wedding. So we bought a couple
Speaker 3: of big, huge golf umbrellas from Costco. We had those
Speaker 3: things for twenty years. Mm hmm, because we I mean
Speaker 3: in Seattle. When we moved to seattlee obviously came in
Speaker 3: very handy.
Speaker 5: Did they Yeah? A lot?
Speaker 2: Well they were.
Speaker 5: You didn't use them?
Speaker 2: Did you use them?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 5: You didn't.
Speaker 1: Right some real work here today we will make our
Speaker 1: way through the list throughout the day. But tools, tools
Speaker 1: are good. You can you can hold onto those and umbrellas.
Speaker 1: That's so far, but we got twelve of those things
Speaker 1: and listen.
Speaker 3: Go ahead and fire off one of those talkbacks on
Speaker 3: the iHeart app.
Speaker 5: It works again.
Speaker 3: No, but we'll see, and maybe maybe it's just me
Speaker 3: that could be it too. Okay, we'll see. Gary and
Speaker 3: Shannon will continue right after this.
