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. We just started Amy's news about
Speaker 1: this coin toss that gives Trump the final word, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, how does that work? How do they do
Speaker 1: the coin toss? You know, it's not like Trump and
Speaker 1: commal are in a room together meeting at the fifty
Speaker 1: yard line.
Speaker 2: Yeah, We've been looking that up and haven't been able
Speaker 2: to find that detail. But at best, there are two
Speaker 2: campaigns I'm assuming are on a phone call with some type.
Speaker 3: Of ABC News official, Right, they pick heads or tails.
Speaker 2: Like a zoone caller. He won, Yeah, that coin toss,
Speaker 2: so that it's kind of like the you know, do
Speaker 2: you want to kick or receive? So he chose to
Speaker 2: have the final closing statement.
Speaker 1: He had he got to choose either podium placement or
Speaker 1: closing statement order, right, and he opted to go last,
Speaker 1: so he'll get the last word, which means she gets
Speaker 1: the selection of podium positioning and she has chosen to
Speaker 1: be on the right side of the screen. And to
Speaker 1: your question, does it even matter? Some people would say,
Speaker 1: as it matters, you know, sixty percent of the time.
Speaker 1: When you're on the right, people view your performance is
Speaker 1: more favorable. And I'm making that up, but that's probably
Speaker 1: a stat somewhere.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no opening statement, which is interesting, although I
Speaker 2: guess people are familiar with the two candidates by now,
Speaker 2: a lot of rules, a lot of rules. Wouldn't you
Speaker 2: love to be one of the moderators though? Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean that'd be like a dream assignment for me.
Speaker 2: We talked about that a little bit on the nine
Speaker 2: o'clock hour. Kinds of questions you would ask because you
Speaker 2: can't ask each They cannot ask each other questions. They
Speaker 2: can't address each other, which to me is very limiting.
Speaker 2: I think that would make it much more interesting.
Speaker 1: There's a way to lay something down on the table
Speaker 1: that the moderator has to pick up and roll with
Speaker 1: into the next question.
Speaker 2: Right, But they keep talking about her as being the prosecutor,
Speaker 2: and when you're a prosecutor you get to question people
Speaker 2: and grill them and put them on. To me, it's
Speaker 2: almost to me, well, it's going to be more like
Speaker 2: a confrontation than a debate.
Speaker 1: You said, there's no opening statement, But she's a prosecutor.
Speaker 1: She can turn anything into an opening statement, So she'll
Speaker 1: take the first question and turn it into.
Speaker 3: An opening statement. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: An update now from the fire lines, Blake Trolley is
Speaker 1: at the fire where they say more than thirty six
Speaker 1: thousand structures are threatened. And what's the vibe up there.
Speaker 1: Does it seem like people are still taken off or
Speaker 1: roads crowded?
Speaker 3: What's going on, Blake?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think roads are is crowded as you'd imagine,
Speaker 4: because I think a lot of people really took these
Speaker 4: evacuation orders seriously. I was just looking at an interactive
Speaker 4: map that was set to be by cal fire in
Speaker 4: the last hour, Shannon. When you look at this fire,
Speaker 4: especially where it came up to Running Springs, it was
Speaker 4: just below the hill from Running Springs, and as you
Speaker 4: know heat fire, it moves uphill. So the fact that
Speaker 4: this fire came right up to, you know, the other
Speaker 4: side of the ridge from that town is really concerning,
Speaker 4: and I would imagine that there wasn't much convincing officials
Speaker 4: had to do for you know, people to get out
Speaker 4: of the area. One of the updates I want to
Speaker 4: give you guys. You know, we got that positive news
Speaker 4: overnight that they were able to put three percent containment
Speaker 4: down on this fire, and again they were crediting cooler temperatures,
Speaker 4: higher humidity for that activity, even some rainfall. What we're
Speaker 4: being told right now is that, yeah, fire activity is
Speaker 4: starting to pick up. So when you ask about vibe,
Speaker 4: we are starting to see more smoke. So I'd asked,
Speaker 4: how fire well, are you guys concerned about this and
Speaker 4: they said, actually, no, the smoke is moving in a
Speaker 4: way that is actually allowing aircraft to conduct water drops.
Speaker 4: The thunderstorm activity has remained quiet, and this is really
Speaker 4: big with this fire. There are fifteen helicopters right now
Speaker 4: working this working this fire, and this is a fire
Speaker 4: that ground crews are really having challenges getting to. So,
Speaker 4: you know, news that the aircraft are having an easy
Speaker 4: time right now getting watered down on this fire does
Speaker 4: have fire officials somewhat positive. That said, it's still a
Speaker 4: highly unpredictable fire and we still have the hottest of
Speaker 4: today to come.
Speaker 2: What are we talking about in terms of temperatures there now?
Speaker 2: So right now it's starting to pick up. You really
Speaker 2: started to see it pick up in the last you know,
Speaker 2: a few minutes. It's in the nineties where I'm sitting
Speaker 2: right now in.
Speaker 4: Kaipa, and yeah, you're really starting to feel that temperature raise.
Speaker 4: And today, you know, we could see triple digits. And
Speaker 4: keep in mind in the higher elevations. If you look
Speaker 4: at where this fire slowed down last night, it was
Speaker 4: in the higher elevations where they have those cooler temperatures.
Speaker 4: When you start getting down into what they're calling the
Speaker 4: thermal belt, the lower part of this fire, they are
Speaker 4: saying that fire activity is still moving really fast.
Speaker 3: So you know, Phil, we've got another warm day.
Speaker 4: Today's going to be I believe the last of the
Speaker 4: super you know warm days out here, but nonetheless that.
Speaker 3: Proves a big threat as they move forward.
Speaker 1: Blake Trolley, thank you for the fire coverage. Appreciate it,
Speaker 1: all right, Thanks guys, all right, and we will be
Speaker 1: out there. KFI News will be throughout the day. Corbyn
Speaker 1: Carson will be covering the afternoon into the evening out
Speaker 1: there as well. So keep it here for all the
Speaker 1: information about that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when they say thirty six thousand homes threatening, I
Speaker 2: mean that's a huge number, right, but I think right
Speaker 2: now it's really burning in the mountain sides.
Speaker 1: Right, Yes, but yeah, they like Blake said, running Springs
Speaker 1: was a problem, but now they're looking at other force falls.
Speaker 3: I believe. Is there area. Yeah, there's a lot of
Speaker 3: small communities there in the mountains.
Speaker 1: And the mountain people are good. They've been through this jel,
Speaker 1: they know what to do.
Speaker 2: This is one of the you know, pros and cons
Speaker 2: of living in southern California.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: We have beautiful weather, we have fires, we have beaches,
Speaker 2: we have earthquakes, we have you know, things to do,
Speaker 2: we have traffic, we have crime.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, it's a trade off. It's a trade off.
Speaker 1: Did you hear about that woman they found up near Sacramento.
Speaker 1: She was camping with friends and she wanted to go
Speaker 1: home early, and so she starts like walking I guess,
Speaker 1: I don't know to her car or wherever, and she
Speaker 1: gets lost. She spent twelve days alone, lost in this
Speaker 1: remote area, like an hour out of Sacramento, and they
Speaker 1: found her dehydrated, that alive.
Speaker 3: That's amazing. Twelve days. That's a long time.
Speaker 1: And then I'm always fascinated by those people who say
Speaker 1: I can't wait to go on my next hike or
Speaker 1: what have you. I mean, if I get lost in
Speaker 1: the woods for twelve days, there is no camping. There
Speaker 1: is no hiking. There is no walking down the street
Speaker 1: for me anymore. I Am going to go from home
Speaker 1: to car and stay in civilization for the rest of
Speaker 1: my days.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's so unusual that that that had
Speaker 2: a good outcome.
Speaker 3: Yeah, twelve days.
Speaker 2: You can't survive without water for twelve days, so obviously
Speaker 2: the water sources there.
Speaker 3: She was young and healthy. And where do you find
Speaker 3: water though? Like streams?
Speaker 1: You know. That's why I was fascinated by the Hunger Games,
Speaker 1: all those little kids living off the land, Like I
Speaker 1: wouldn't know where to find water a stream and then
Speaker 1: and then whether there's an amoeba fill, Like what if
Speaker 1: something starts eating my book?
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to gamble on it. In those circumstances.
Speaker 3: How do you know which water is okay to drink?
Speaker 3: You don't. You don't.
Speaker 2: That's why you have your you know, declarent your chlorine
Speaker 2: tablets with you and your you know, water decontamination tablets.
Speaker 3: I doubt this woman has no.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because the search was over at that point, right,
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't search for twelve days.
Speaker 1: And then the animals, the animals get you if you
Speaker 1: can't find anyway.
Speaker 3: I digress.
Speaker 1: All right, a manhunt continues in eastern Kentucky.
Speaker 3: Do you hear about this? Terrifying?
Speaker 1: This was a shooting on Saturday on I seventy five,
Speaker 1: several shootings. Five people were seriously injured when this shooter
Speaker 1: opened fire along a stretch of the freeway. Investigators say
Speaker 1: they did recover an AR fifteen rifle from the woods
Speaker 1: near the freeway. Also confirmed that this guy, thirty two
Speaker 1: year old Joseph Couch, is the man they're looking for.
Speaker 1: Obviously armed and dangerous. This was somebody who served four
Speaker 1: years in the National Guard. Schools there have made the
Speaker 1: decision to call off classes today as that search continues.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just another day in our violent country.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: So power outages because of all of the heat have
Speaker 1: caused some problems. My father in law, he's ninety, and
Speaker 1: we get the phone call last night that his air
Speaker 1: conditioning is broken. Now, you know, if your air conditioning
Speaker 1: breaks in the summer, it's gonna be hard to get
Speaker 1: somebody out right away with the parts and everything. So
Speaker 1: it's kind of like a mad dash to home depots.
Speaker 1: Do you have swamp coolers? What?
Speaker 3: You know? What are we going to do?
Speaker 1: Because the house now is ninety four degrees inside and
Speaker 1: you can't have so what did you do? What happened
Speaker 1: was his caretakers were able to go and find.
Speaker 3: A conditioning unit. Oh really and wow and set it up.
Speaker 1: So but we were going to have that just take
Speaker 1: him to a hotel room, Sure that has air.
Speaker 3: What about your host my house?
Speaker 1: We were pretty far away, so it would have been
Speaker 1: easier just to get a local.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know during the day.
Speaker 2: I have to say the city and the county have
Speaker 2: done a good job of the cooling centers and promoting
Speaker 2: the locations of the cooling centers and extending the hours
Speaker 2: you can go online.
Speaker 3: It's multiple different ways to find it.
Speaker 1: I was listening to Neil and Marla, they were filling
Speaker 1: in and I was driving around and they were talking
Speaker 1: about this and I don't remember if it was. It
Speaker 1: wasn't last week because I wasn't in town, so I
Speaker 1: was about a few weeks ago anyway, and they were
Speaker 1: it was another heat wave talking about the cooling centers.
Speaker 1: I feel like the only time cooling centers is in
Speaker 1: a conversation is when we're on the air, whether it's
Speaker 1: TV or I.
Speaker 3: Mean, in your real life. How often to talk about
Speaker 3: a freaking cooling centa. Well, it's because it's an emergency.
Speaker 2: But I've gone you know, we've covered those cooling centers
Speaker 2: and usually there's about three people in them.
Speaker 3: This time it's they're more more I think utilized.
Speaker 2: But it's typically at a community center or a senior center.
Speaker 1: I just in real life, cooling centers is not something
Speaker 1: that ever comes up. And when Neil and Marla were
Speaker 1: talking about it, and I forget which one said something like, oh,
Speaker 1: and check on your elderly neighbors. And Neil says to Marla,
Speaker 1: when's the last name you for check on your elderly neighbors?
Speaker 3: And here's the thing. She's like.
Speaker 1: It was such a real perfect moment, and she was like, no,
Speaker 1: I have it.
Speaker 2: Well, we've all we've all been assigned the hot weather
Speaker 2: story to do for the news, right, and you know
Speaker 2: a lot of times I say, look, it's Los Angeles,
Speaker 2: it's the summer, it's hot, it's the face, get it.
Speaker 2: But these temperatures have been extreme, I mean record setting,
Speaker 2: and you can't really make fun of it because people
Speaker 2: you know, have died.
Speaker 3: Sure, so it's obviously a serious problem. We don't really
Speaker 3: do those things.
Speaker 1: It's like, it's like the the alert that comes on
Speaker 1: with the emergency system and it says, you know, and
Speaker 1: when it's raining, turnaround, don't drown, you know, check on
Speaker 1: your elderly neighbors.
Speaker 3: And the cooling centers.
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, I mean, do we really have
Speaker 2: to remind people to hydrate right at this point in
Speaker 2: our lives?
Speaker 3: Exactly?
Speaker 2: You know, you watch the news and you're listening to
Speaker 2: the news, and they'll be like a graphic with hot
Speaker 2: weather tips, you know, like those things we were just
Speaker 2: talking about. It's like, Okay, come on, let's not insult
Speaker 2: the intelligence of the audience. But look, it's still important
Speaker 2: information and maybe there are some people out there, the.
Speaker 3: People that don't get it. At this point, we kind.
Speaker 1: Of surround ourselves with people that are intelligent, and the
Speaker 1: fact of the matter is there are people that need
Speaker 1: those tips and they do need to be told to hydrate.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, power outages.
Speaker 2: There's still some power outages. I'm looking at southern California.
Speaker 2: Edison says that there are about three thousand customers impacted
Speaker 2: still Monday morning. The LADWP says there's seventy eight hundred
Speaker 2: customers without power, and you know, you're just sitting there
Speaker 2: in the heat, wondering like when is it going to
Speaker 2: come back?
Speaker 3: Do we have to leave?
Speaker 2: Do we have to go to an airbnb? Should I
Speaker 2: go to the beach? Do I go to the cooling center?
Speaker 2: And then we have a neighborhood email group, which is good,
Speaker 2: and it's like I called Southern California. I call the
Speaker 2: DWP to report it. It's like, Okay, I think they know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: But we went to France when they had their record
Speaker 1: breaking heat wave a couple of years ago, and all
Speaker 1: through France there's no air conditioners. It's just not built
Speaker 1: for because it's never gotten that hot in the history.
Speaker 3: And so there's just what people do.
Speaker 1: You just if you find a stream, like when you're
Speaker 1: lost camping, and we did that, we would go in
Speaker 1: to fund like water or what have you, or just
Speaker 1: be outside hoping for a breeze something like that. But
Speaker 1: like you said, to your point, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: places in Southern California that just don't have air conditioning.
Speaker 3: When I lived in the Marina, we didn't have an
Speaker 3: air conditioner.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm thinking about schools also, I'd say ninety plus
Speaker 2: percent of LAUSD schools from now air conditioned, but there's
Speaker 2: still districts. I was reading about Torrents. Most of the
Speaker 2: schools are in air condition so they're doing half days.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, yeah, yeah, because when you think of Torrents,
Speaker 1: you think of the breeze off the ocean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking at you know. I think the invention
Speaker 2: of air conditioning change the world.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, yea refrigeration.
Speaker 2: Let's see, what would you say the top five inventions
Speaker 2: that change the world are in modern times?
Speaker 3: Oh? Horn, I mean the Internet? It did? The Internet? Okay?
Speaker 3: Is one? Internet is bad? We should turn it off. Yes,
Speaker 3: I've always been advocating for that.
Speaker 1: Cell phones, electricity, let's not sleep on electricity. Cell phones, yes,
Speaker 1: cell phones, air conditioning. You know what, we should all
Speaker 1: go back to just flip phones. That way we can
Speaker 1: get in touch with each other, but we don't.
Speaker 2: Well, this is one of my favorite topics really, especially
Speaker 2: because we've spent a lot of time talking about this
Speaker 2: in context of schools and this shooter in Georgia and
Speaker 2: bullying and yeah, yeah, cell phones should absolutely not be
Speaker 2: in schools. No, that seems like not even open for discussion.
Speaker 3: We talked about it a few weeks ago.
Speaker 1: The conversation of should cell phones be allowed at work
Speaker 1: and the amount of productivity that has lost because us
Speaker 1: adults are just as bad as the kids.
Speaker 3: We're all addicted. We're all right.
Speaker 2: Saying two people are sitting here with their cell phones
Speaker 2: next to us, right, idiots.
Speaker 3: All right? Coming up next.
Speaker 1: I read this article over the weekend in the La
Speaker 1: Times about Eric Garcetti and his political future. We're talking
Speaker 1: about Gavin Newsome, and you know, it could not be
Speaker 1: It may not be good for Eric Garcetti because he
Speaker 1: has that ambassadorship to India, which is near and dear
Speaker 1: to Kamala Harris's heart, so she probably don't want to
Speaker 1: put her own person in there. So does Garcetti come
Speaker 1: back to La? What's next? Tyreek Hill of the Financis,
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: Yeah. The Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 1: Wide receiver, probably the most famous, the best Miami Dolphin
Speaker 1: handcuffed places face down on a street outside the stadium yesterday.
Speaker 1: He was stopped for speeding and reckless driving right before
Speaker 1: the dolphins first game of the season. He was confused
Speaker 1: about what had happened. This has resulted in a police
Speaker 1: officer being placed on admin leave.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an update. To that story that happened since
Speaker 2: yesterday right.
Speaker 1: The officer was one of at least three involved in
Speaker 1: detaining him. Some fans saw this all go down, captured
Speaker 1: this on video on the way to the game.
Speaker 3: It went viral on social media.
Speaker 1: He was told after the game Tyreek was that the
Speaker 1: officer was placed on leave and said that should tell
Speaker 1: you everything you need to know.
Speaker 3: I mean handled it really well.
Speaker 1: I think the walkoff interview with the CBS stage did Yes.
Speaker 1: The reporter asked him and he was like, I don't
Speaker 1: know what happened, and he's just you know, he had
Speaker 1: a platform to say this was ridiculous, and I could
Speaker 1: have lined.
Speaker 3: He could have blasted the police and made accusations.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he took the high road, but he he was
Speaker 2: pulled over about a block from the stadium in this
Speaker 2: high end exotic sports car.
Speaker 3: Who doesn't know who Tyreek Hill is. Well, you don't
Speaker 3: know what happened.
Speaker 2: We don't know what happened. We know what he said.
Speaker 2: He claims he didn't say anything that you know, was
Speaker 2: not safe for work. He was placed in handcuffs, not
Speaker 2: He says he doesn't know why. Then some of his
Speaker 2: teammates who were also coming came to his defense. Kalay Campbell,
Speaker 2: who's about like six six three hundred, was putting. So
Speaker 2: we don't know what happened, but the police one at
Speaker 2: least one office has been placed on administrative leave, so
Speaker 2: that that is significant. So, you know, you try to
Speaker 2: give the cops the benefit of the doubt, at least
Speaker 2: I do. I don't know if you do, but it
Speaker 2: seems like a situation that could have been handled much differently,
Speaker 2: similar to that Scottie Scheffler one at the golf tournament
Speaker 2: months ago.
Speaker 1: Stocks are surging on Wall Street, bit of good news
Speaker 1: for you, but now currently up five point fifty six
Speaker 1: NASDAK has been up over one hundred points at times
Speaker 1: as well. This is coming as the Fed is set
Speaker 1: to make an announcement on interest rates later this month,
Speaker 1: widely expected that it will make a cut.
Speaker 2: This is despite the Biden Harris economic disaster, right exactly.
Speaker 2: So this is the difference that the Republicans want to
Speaker 2: keep your money and the Democrats want to take you.
Speaker 3: They want to spend it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, public want you to keep your money, right, but
Speaker 1: they want to I mean, that's way too simplistic. I
Speaker 1: got in trouble for saying that exact same thing. Listener
Speaker 1: pointed out that that was very black and white. And
Speaker 1: you know, you can say that Republicans are selfish and
Speaker 1: it's the Democrats that want to help people. And I said, okay, sure,
Speaker 1: that's just as black and white.
Speaker 3: But I wasn't your husband.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, So Eric Garcetti, right, he was deeply
Speaker 1: loyal to President Biden. He got that ambassadorship to India,
Speaker 1: and incomes Kamala Harris, whose mother was born in India.
Speaker 1: She's probably gonna want to make her own pick for ambassador.
Speaker 1: So that kind of makes Eric Garcetti the odd man out.
Speaker 2: It does, and it doesn't because what if he's doing
Speaker 2: a great job. I mean, we haven't gotten much coverage
Speaker 2: of it in this country since he actually was appointed,
Speaker 2: which took a long time because of controversies with his background.
Speaker 1: But what do you really do as an ambassador other
Speaker 1: than events and ceremonies and palm and circumstance stuff, Like,
Speaker 1: what's the actual work that you do?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: I think a lot of it is ceremonial, yes, but
Speaker 2: you're the top essentially top official representing the United States
Speaker 2: in that country. And then of course there's a lot
Speaker 2: of clandestine things with the CIA and other organizations that
Speaker 2: work out of a consulate or an embassy that you
Speaker 2: have to be aware of. So yeah, I mean they
Speaker 2: do a lot of work, but really it's I think
Speaker 2: it's more trade policy and things in that general realm.
Speaker 3: It'd be a fun job.
Speaker 1: US India experts. This is from the LA Time said
Speaker 1: that Garcetti has largely done a good job in the
Speaker 1: complex role of ambassador. The Indian government accused of having
Speaker 1: a role in the killing of a sheik activist in
Speaker 1: British Columbia, a plot to kill another activist in New York.
Speaker 1: Indian Prime minister, a Hindu nationalist, is accused of opponents
Speaker 1: by opponents of hate speech against Muslims. Western leaders have
Speaker 1: questioned India's relationship with Russia, and they say that Eric
Speaker 1: Garcetti has been a steady hand through all of this.
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's his reputation, wouldn't you say steady hand?
Speaker 2: I mean, I think when he left Los Angeles, I
Speaker 2: think his reputation was on the downswing. I don't know
Speaker 2: how justified that was, was largely due to the homeless crisis.
Speaker 1: Personally, I always liked Eric Garcetti covering him, he was
Speaker 1: always very He's an open door, an open door, access
Speaker 1: accessible and always and friendly and took the time to,
Speaker 1: you know, explain things I like in him, kind of
Speaker 1: to Tom McClintock when I worked in Sacramento in terms
Speaker 1: of an open door and you know, the very smart
Speaker 1: people who will make time to explain things in detail,
Speaker 1: and that's always nice when you're a reporter. But I
Speaker 1: really think that the whole scandal about his aid ruined
Speaker 1: his reputation with Jacob Rick Jacobs because it just didn't
Speaker 1: go away, and it keeps getting more oxygen in New Life.
Speaker 1: Recently it did, Yeah, the new doncumenty. NPR did a
Speaker 1: series recently, So, I mean, the.
Speaker 2: Basic accusation was that he looked the other way as
Speaker 2: this top aid sexually harassed people.
Speaker 3: Right for his own political future, right.
Speaker 2: Which he denied under oath I think two separate times,
Speaker 2: which delayed his approval as the ambassador to India.
Speaker 1: If you have somebody that's your AID though, and is
Speaker 1: working that closely with you, and they're into weird stuff,
Speaker 1: you would know.
Speaker 2: It, right, which which goes again, That's what you and
Speaker 2: I both just said, was that He seemed like an open,
Speaker 2: honest guy, but he strongly denied it, so he could
Speaker 2: have also said, yeah, you know, I should have been
Speaker 2: more forceful in dealing with it when it came to
Speaker 2: my attention. I never really heard him say anything like that.
Speaker 2: He just flat out right said I didn't know, yeah,
Speaker 2: which is hard to believe exactly. I would have liked
Speaker 2: that response better, but saying it's hard to believe cast
Speaker 2: doubts on his honesty, which has never really been in question.
Speaker 3: So it's a tough one. It's a tough one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you get to have plausible deniability if someone's
Speaker 1: that close to you. It's almost like the well, then
Speaker 1: you're a fool if you didn't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well in this day and age, yes, you know,
Speaker 2: this goes back I think twenty years almost, and you know, like,
Speaker 2: if you're here with Gary, you're responsible for everything Gary does?
Speaker 3: No? Is he responsible for everything you do? Know? I
Speaker 3: mean you might see things that you choose to ignore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's always hands on, he's patrol around here. It's awful.
Speaker 2: But the future Eric Arsetti is a really smart, smart, dedicated,
Speaker 2: motivated individual. And if he doesn't come back, if he
Speaker 2: doesn't keep his ambassadorship to India. I'd love to see
Speaker 2: him come back to southern California or California in some
Speaker 2: way and go back to work, you know, trying to
Speaker 2: make our lives better, whether that's in a local role
Speaker 2: or statewide role, or maybe even in private industry.
Speaker 3: I mean, he could do anything. Really.
Speaker 1: Here's some big news, big development out of Moscow, Idaho.
Speaker 1: There will be a change of venue in the trial
Speaker 1: of the Ques murderer, Brian Coburger. The judge, John Judge
Speaker 1: is his name. How do you have a last name
Speaker 1: like Judge and not end up like a judge?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: It's pretty common last name actually, but that's just it's
Speaker 1: funny when that happens. The judge okayed the defense's motion
Speaker 1: to change the venue today. Lawyers for Coburger cited a
Speaker 1: mob mentality as the reason they wanted a low cation
Speaker 1: change from that town where the University of Idaho is.
Speaker 1: Of course, he's accused of killing those four students in
Speaker 1: their off campus house a couple of years ago. Trial
Speaker 1: is set to begin in June, but we don't know
Speaker 1: where it will be taking place, just that it will
Speaker 1: not be there. I've got news you can use. Phil
Speaker 1: guess who wants to make a return to the NFL.
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, No, we're going to talk about that is
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald. No, Troy Aikman. I said news you can use.
Speaker 1: Oh would that be a Bill Belichick? Yes, sir, he
Speaker 1: already has like six jobs. According to ESPN, Bill Belichick
Speaker 1: would like to return to coaching in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: If the right situation is Availa. Why is that news?
Speaker 3: He's always said that he.
Speaker 1: Had numerous opportunities to join various staffs this past off season,
Speaker 1: but opted to take the year off.
Speaker 3: See that little girlfriend.
Speaker 1: He's got, Well, when you say little, I mean young.
Speaker 3: Well she's over twenty one. Well, okay, set the bar.
Speaker 3: I I think she's twenty four.
Speaker 1: He's only seventy two, So that works out.
Speaker 2: Well. Look, first of all, obviously he's not going to
Speaker 2: join someone else's staff as an assistant coach.
Speaker 3: At this point in his career, he's.
Speaker 1: Fifteen wins away from breaking don Culo's record.
Speaker 2: You know he wants that, Yeah, all time, that'd be awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 2: how could you not?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So he's seventy two, so how many more years does
Speaker 2: he have? He was disappointed by the fact that he
Speaker 2: didn't get a head coaching offer Atlanta interviewed I think
Speaker 2: a couple of times, and that was the only one.
Speaker 2: First of all, he makes a ton of money, right,
Speaker 2: and he wants total control. Didn't even have a general
Speaker 2: manager when he was in New England. Yeah, and I
Speaker 2: don't think that he would be considered like a charming
Speaker 2: people person.
Speaker 3: He is not.
Speaker 2: So when you know when owners, rich owners want a
Speaker 2: coach who's going to suck up to them and you know,
Speaker 2: tell him how great they are, and that's not.
Speaker 3: Him, You're right, So quite the opposite. I think any
Speaker 3: team would be lucky to have him personally, did you
Speaker 3: ever see the matter?
Speaker 1: I would rather somebody like Bill Belichick come in and
Speaker 1: take over the Falcons then somebody who's gonna be nice
Speaker 1: to me.
Speaker 2: Well it depends what what do you what's the bottom
Speaker 2: line in professional sports?
Speaker 3: Winning? Thank you? Winning? Right?
Speaker 2: It's not a popularity contest, right, So yeah, I think
Speaker 2: his future is uh is bright when it comes to
Speaker 2: head coaching.
Speaker 3: Well, we'll see.
Speaker 2: I mean, how many there were several openings after last season.
Speaker 2: There's always there's always a spot for him.
Speaker 1: We were talking about Ryan Seacrest taking over the helmet
Speaker 1: the Wheel of Fortune and the difference of Jeopardy and
Speaker 1: Wheel of Fortune. I think the host makes a game show.
Speaker 1: And so I loved Alex on Jeopardy, and I loved
Speaker 1: feeling dumb night after night.
Speaker 3: It was funny.
Speaker 1: You know, if my husband's in the room, and you know,
Speaker 1: it'll come up sports teams in the eighties or winning
Speaker 1: teams in the eighties, and I have and I answer
Speaker 1: them all regardlessly, and I'll look over hoping to get
Speaker 1: like a wow, that was great, and he has.
Speaker 3: Left the room. Yeah, come come back to me.
Speaker 2: And category intelligence, what about say, eighteenth century European literature?
Speaker 3: How do you do on that one?
Speaker 1: Is that like the Canterbury Tales or something? I don't know, ye, Chaucer, No,
Speaker 1: I'm horrible at that. But we were talking about the
Speaker 1: difference between Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. Will Fortune is
Speaker 1: kind of like the dumb People's game, right, the contestants
Speaker 1: it's not even the same, it's not in the same stratosphere, right,
Speaker 1: But the people are so user friendly on Wheel of Fortune.
Speaker 3: They're affable, they.
Speaker 1: Say they say things like, you know, ye, well, I've
Speaker 1: never watched an entire episode, never watched an episode of
Speaker 1: Wheel of Force, not from start to finish.
Speaker 3: That is insane.
Speaker 1: Why I mean, I'm not saying it's bad, it's just
Speaker 1: I feel like I've watched so much of it, and
Speaker 1: my grandmother loved it, so we'd watch it after.
Speaker 3: Well, it's a cultural thing. It is a cultural thing.
Speaker 2: And there's pop speaking of culture, pop culture Jeopardy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're so dumb as a people that we only
Speaker 1: have pop culture intelligence. Now, well, we can't get into
Speaker 1: eighteenth century literature.
Speaker 3: You look.
Speaker 2: For example, I worked for Extra for several years before
Speaker 2: I went to Fox eleven. I hear the little Extra
Speaker 2: Jenk Extra, and at that time Extra was doing entertainment
Speaker 2: and news, so I was one of the news reporters
Speaker 2: along with people like Gina Silva, who's a great reporter.
Speaker 2: Laurence Sanchez you might remember that name, worked there for
Speaker 2: a while. And so the show's like Extra and Inside Edition,
Speaker 2: which still does news but entertainment, Tonight Access Hollywood TMZ,
Speaker 2: which is a sort of different cat. You watch this
Speaker 2: stuff and maybe it's because we're not twenty, but it's like,
Speaker 2: who cares about this information?
Speaker 3: You're talking about you because you're talking about.
Speaker 2: Pop culture, right, And it's like, you know, Kanye and
Speaker 2: his wife were what restaurant?
Speaker 3: Who's dating who? I mean, a lot more people care
Speaker 3: about that than care about the debate tomorrow night exactly. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 3: and is what do we make of that?
Speaker 1: I don't know, because here's the thing, when you're talking
Speaker 1: to your friends and stuff, if you're mostly talking about
Speaker 1: you know, the the the Mormons, swinging wives and the
Speaker 1: new reality show that they have over the debate, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to live in a
Speaker 1: world where everyone's just talking about politics and serious news
Speaker 1: all the time and casual conversation.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I understand that, but I just feel like that
Speaker 3: I want people to be aware of it, but I
Speaker 3: just don't want to be hit over the head with it.
Speaker 2: I just feel like the emphasis on unnecessary information is
Speaker 2: a little bit out of out of proportion. Yes, you know, yeah,
Speaker 2: you nailed it. And I just don't know that that
Speaker 2: makes us, you know better? Right, I'm about making us better?
Speaker 2: Is that so wrong?
Speaker 3: You bringing the people together? That's so wrong? Phil loves love.
Speaker 2: That's why, Like, you know, a guy like Tom Brady
Speaker 2: I love because he wants to.
Speaker 3: Be the best Patriots fan I know.
Speaker 2: And if I if I wasn't a Patriot fan, maybe
Speaker 2: i'd feel feel differently.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this a quick look. You can
Speaker 1: appreciate that for excellence, excellence. And one of my friends
Speaker 1: said to me, I can't wait to see Tom Brady
Speaker 1: in the booth and tell him how much he sucks.
Speaker 1: So you always tell me when she sucks, and I go,
Speaker 1: tom Brady doesn't suck. Say what you will about Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: but he was committed to detail and excellence and he
Speaker 1: nailed it season after season with different teams and the
Speaker 1: whole bit. So no, but I didn't think that he
Speaker 1: hit it out of the park with this broadcast because
Speaker 1: I think he was trying to be a broadcaster and
Speaker 1: not just Tom Brady the football player.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think it's a learning curve.
Speaker 2: He certainly can do better, but I think for his
Speaker 2: first game he was good.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, that's a.
Speaker 2: Difficult job anyway you and I'd rather have you say
Speaker 2: less than more.
Speaker 1: I remember having an audition for it was actually a
Speaker 1: TV station up in Seattle, and I had to talk
Speaker 1: through or call the play by play of the highlight. Right,
Speaker 1: so it's a play I've seen, it's played out. I'm
Speaker 1: going to go to the package and talk your way
Speaker 1: through it what you're seeing on the screen. That is
Speaker 1: really hard to do, and you don't know it. If
Speaker 1: you're just a sports fan and you think you can
Speaker 1: do that, and then you get out there and you
Speaker 1: try to do that, it's impossible. And he struggled with
Speaker 1: that when he was trying to kind of talk the
Speaker 1: viewers through what they were seeing in a highlight a
Speaker 1: review of a play.
Speaker 3: It's very hard to do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he'll only get better. And I think we
Speaker 2: live in a personality driven culture.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: We're talking about Ryan Seacrest, We're talking about Ken Jennings,
Speaker 2: we're talking about political leaders. And so Tom Brady, you know,
Speaker 2: is a marque name. What's what's the NFL? It's a
Speaker 2: TV show, yes, right, and he's a star. So he's
Speaker 2: going to bring more people to the to the television.
Speaker 3: You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 4: You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
Speaker 4: forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
