Speaker 4: friends that do that.
Speaker 5: And I don't know.
Speaker 4: If it's the cheaper the keeper analogy or.
Speaker 1: What, but.
Speaker 2: Love your show live apart like actual different houses.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's cheaper than getting a Getting a divorce
Speaker 1: is very expensive.
Speaker 3: Even if it's not contested, even if you're I gotta go.
Speaker 3: When does that happen?
Speaker 6: When is it not? When is it mutual like that
Speaker 6: and not messy? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I I was just over at my brother's house and
Speaker 1: he's got a his girlfriend's got a family member who
Speaker 1: refuses to stop working because then his ex wife would
Speaker 1: get some of the pension.
Speaker 6: Serious, and he's like, eighty.
Speaker 5: What it?
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, you that you hate somebody that much? Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's not even you just fell out of like with them.
Speaker 3: You hate them at that point and whatever.
Speaker 2: I disagree with my wife.
Speaker 7: She says I'm too dismissive because I don't argue, so
Speaker 7: I can't win either way.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I used to get mad at my husband
Speaker 1: for that because he his thing in an argument is
Speaker 1: just to not respond to me.
Speaker 6: And that used to make when I was younger, more
Speaker 6: hot headed.
Speaker 1: That used to drive me insane, like why aren't you
Speaker 1: saying anything?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 6: Oh, you don't care enough to say anything, and that
Speaker 6: you know where that it's you absolutely nowhere.
Speaker 2: It gets you more angry.
Speaker 1: Right, you're making yourself you're getting Yeah, you're working yourself
Speaker 1: up and you're not making any headway. And the argument
Speaker 1: or conversation that's, you know, gotten into argument territory.
Speaker 2: I feel like I need to ask him some questions.
Speaker 1: Oh really, because I'm not Did you get a text
Speaker 1: from my husband?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 6: No, I just got I mean maybe we just put
Speaker 6: it down. Huh.
Speaker 1: Maybe we've already burned our hands on this stovey.
Speaker 8: Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 9: I know someone that moved out got back together.
Speaker 2: I had to.
Speaker 9: Help him with another friend move out and into a
Speaker 9: new apartment.
Speaker 8: Down the street. And it was so bad. He was
Speaker 8: so bad at dating. It was ridiculous. It was pathetic.
Speaker 2: He ended up moving back and I told.
Speaker 8: Him I help you move once. I'm not going to
Speaker 8: help you move again. This is ridiculous. They're still together,
Speaker 8: more or less not really happy.
Speaker 2: Put together that story.
Speaker 6: Can we hear a tale of love?
Speaker 5: We don't have.
Speaker 6: Do we have any tales of love?
Speaker 2: No? No, no love tales. Maybe that's what Richie was
Speaker 2: trying to describe for us.
Speaker 6: Love tales.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I didn't listen because I looked at you and you
Speaker 1: looked very uncomfortable, and I didn't know what was being
Speaker 1: talked about because I was reading my newspaper.
Speaker 6: What else is my old folks home over here?
Speaker 2: What else is going on? Time for what's happening? Well,
Speaker 2: we mentioned this throughout the day.
Speaker 3: Israeli special forces have been carrying out targeted raids into
Speaker 3: southern Lebanon. They're trying to gather intelligence ahead of what
Speaker 3: could be a ground incursion that could come as soon
Speaker 3: as this week. A couple of different media outlets are
Speaker 3: reporting that tanks have been gathering there in northern Israel
Speaker 3: along the border with Lebanon. One Israeli official said if
Speaker 3: there is to be a border ground operation, it would
Speaker 3: feature localized limited raids against Hesbola targets along the border,
Speaker 3: with the objective of destroying the capabilities of their forces.
Speaker 3: The US has been trying to urge some sort of
Speaker 3: diplomatic solution and to keep any ground operation targeted well.
Speaker 1: There is a big internet outage phone cell phone outage.
Speaker 6: It looks like user reports for.
Speaker 1: Problems with Verizon AT and T and T Mobile have
Speaker 1: spiked on a site that tracks outages. Verizon surpassed one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand outage reports around eight am hour time. These
Speaker 1: reports have decreased to about sixty three thousand as of
Speaker 1: about an hour ago. Some Verizon customers on social media,
Speaker 1: including those who say they are not in a storm zone,
Speaker 1: say their phones are in SOS mode. This happened back
Speaker 1: in August during a widespread outage for AT and T.
Speaker 1: It means that a phone's unable to connect to the
Speaker 1: cellular provider's network but can still make emergency calls. Is
Speaker 1: it China's I was.
Speaker 3: Just gonna say, I hope there's nothing the farious behind it,
Speaker 3: but gives you an idea of how much we rely
Speaker 3: on these things for communications. Officially autumn, but obviously it's
Speaker 3: going to be triple digit temperatures for the next few days.
Speaker 3: High temperatures today across the Southland about eighty eight and
Speaker 3: downtown LA easily over one hundred. In the Valley burbank
Speaker 3: here we'll see about ninety five thousand oaks one oh one.
Speaker 3: It is expected to peak this heat, but probably on Wednesday.
Speaker 6: Can't wait.
Speaker 3: The deadly hijacking of that La Metro bus last week
Speaker 3: raised a bunch of concerns about public safety.
Speaker 2: That was wednesday.
Speaker 3: Metro Board chair LA County Supervisor Janis Hahn says public
Speaker 3: safety for the writers as well as employees, has been
Speaker 3: one of her top priorities. But before she gets into
Speaker 3: too much, she wanted to give condolences to the family.
Speaker 3: Two things that she said were amazing. We had one
Speaker 3: of those bus barriers around the driver so that the
Speaker 3: gunman couldn't take control of the bus like what happened
Speaker 3: last year when the bus crashed into the Ritz Carlton.
Speaker 3: And then she talked specifically about whether or not they're
Speaker 3: going to be able to keep Metro and buses and trains,
Speaker 3: et cetera safe. Going forward to Kembe Mutumbo died Basketball
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer, to Kenbi Mutumbo, known for his shot
Speaker 3: blocking and his big finger wave, apparently died from brain
Speaker 3: cancer at the age of fifty eight.
Speaker 1: Got a text message from one of our friends. Don't
Speaker 1: effing start with me. At least I fought for custody
Speaker 1: and the cuckoo pants can have the money. Looks like
Speaker 1: we've ruffled some feathers here today. I'm the Garyan Shannon Show.
Speaker 1: Massive US Port strike is just hours away coming up next,
Speaker 1: How this will affect you and us and everybody else,
Speaker 1: and what to look for.
Speaker 8: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 8: AM six forty. Gary and Shannon loved the show. Listen.
Speaker 9: The best thing my wife and I learned in thirty
Speaker 9: six years of marriage was that we both argued differently.
Speaker 8: And that's okay. She's a great arguer. I suck.
Speaker 9: So I let's let her offload everything that has annoyed
Speaker 9: her and that she's mad about, and then I just
Speaker 9: take it and I process it differently. So I think
Speaker 9: about it and I promise that within twenty four to
Speaker 9: forty eight hours we come back and talk it out.
Speaker 8: It has really gotten rid of arguments.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a great advice, you know, What I don't like, though,
Speaker 1: is the circle back, like, because I know I've become an.
Speaker 2: Irrational I don't want to be reminded.
Speaker 1: Don't want to be reminded like, oh yeah, I could
Speaker 1: have handled that differently. But you're right, that's a very
Speaker 1: healthy way of doing it if you process things differently.
Speaker 10: That's hey, Gary Hay Shannon. My biological grandfather divorced my
Speaker 10: stepgrandmother and then married her again, and they remained married
Speaker 10: until he died a few years ago. But they had
Speaker 10: separated again for the last few years of his wife
Speaker 10: and he had a girlfriend and my step grandmother lived
Speaker 10: like state away.
Speaker 6: So what a wild ride?
Speaker 7: Yeah, uh yeah, the relationship thing.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So I got a daughter that's almost thirteen years old.
Speaker 7: She's awesome. She's the most beautiful, wonderful thing that's ever
Speaker 7: happened in my life. And her mom wanted a divorce,
Speaker 7: so we got a divorce. But we're getting back together,
Speaker 7: but not really getting back together to live in the
Speaker 7: same house to pay bills.
Speaker 2: That's about it.
Speaker 6: That's well, and raise the daughter and raise the daughter.
Speaker 2: That's a I would use the word brave arrangements.
Speaker 6: It was unselfish.
Speaker 3: Also, that's a great, that's a better word than brave.
Speaker 3: But that's not easy. No, that's not going to be
Speaker 3: an easy arrangement.
Speaker 1: No, but if you're co parenting anyway, it might make
Speaker 1: some of the logistics easier. You know, they may have
Speaker 1: done a cost benefit analysis of you know. Yes, it's difficult,
Speaker 1: but it would be more difficult if we were in
Speaker 1: separate households with money and logistics and picks.
Speaker 6: Did they pay the bills you know and all that. Yeah,
Speaker 6: that's right.
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, this is Rick in Clarksville, Tennessee, and I
Speaker 5: just wanted to let you know that I have been
Speaker 5: married to my beautiful wife for thirty years this year,
Speaker 5: and we have our ups and down with them. Man,
Speaker 5: we love each other and we do everything together and
Speaker 5: enjoy our lives together, and we're just thankful we have
Speaker 5: each other.
Speaker 2: So I see this all.
Speaker 3: I think in the most successful relationships that I see,
Speaker 3: it's that people like spending time with each other.
Speaker 2: Period. Yes, I mean I was I don't want to
Speaker 2: say surprised.
Speaker 3: I was happily reinforced how much I like my wife
Speaker 3: as a person. When we went on vacation for a
Speaker 3: couple of weeks, because to be honest, there was.
Speaker 2: A lot of just the two of us and it
Speaker 2: was fine.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And I don't mean fine like we got through it.
Speaker 3: I mean there was no pressure, There was no uh,
Speaker 3: it never felt like it was a hassle, like I
Speaker 3: get it.
Speaker 6: Walked away from this person or I'm annoyed.
Speaker 2: Around in a fun little town you've never seen before and.
Speaker 1: Traveled as wonders for relationships, I think because you lean
Speaker 1: on each other too when you're in an unfamiliar place
Speaker 1: as well, just to have that.
Speaker 2: Couldn't it go the other way? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And that's when but that but you should know that
Speaker 1: by now, Like that's something you should learn in the
Speaker 1: beginning of a relationship.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, here he.
Speaker 4: Said to Jesse, I love my wife. Been together since
Speaker 4: nineteen eighty September twenty sixth, forty four years.
Speaker 8: Wow.
Speaker 4: But she gives me a look.
Speaker 2: It's like huh not and out I'm talking.
Speaker 4: Or I'll say you're talking too much, that makes you
Speaker 4: fu Or we'll be in a minute of possible and
Speaker 4: she'll say, you're crouching unied it Now.
Speaker 3: The reason we're still together is space of communication.
Speaker 2: She communicates to me and I listen.
Speaker 3: He's also on the road eighty hours a week. It's
Speaker 3: always helpful.
Speaker 2: Probably helped a little bit.
Speaker 8: Well.
Speaker 3: Two Monday night football games tonight to tell you about
Speaker 3: as we wrap up our.
Speaker 2: What is this week four?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Week four?
Speaker 3: So Tennessee at My Hammy Miami is the game that
Speaker 3: starts at about four o'clock and then Seattle Detroit starts
Speaker 3: at about five thirty.
Speaker 2: Chargers lost to the Chiefs seventeen to ten.
Speaker 3: They had a nice ten point lead to begin right,
Speaker 3: and then there was what a fifty six yard they just.
Speaker 1: They sputtered on offense. They couldn't get anything going. It
Speaker 1: was just a six consecutive pot punts for both teams,
Speaker 1: maybe seven.
Speaker 6: It was awful. It was the offensive line.
Speaker 1: The injuries were a glaringly obvious Justin sacked, no time pressured.
Speaker 6: It was awful.
Speaker 2: But he's not and Patrick.
Speaker 6: Mahomes and Travis Kelsey they can turn it on.
Speaker 1: You know, this narrative that Travis Kelsey has washed, that's
Speaker 1: what they wanted the narrative to be. And then they
Speaker 1: just decide when to use him and they start using
Speaker 1: him and boom, he's Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 3: That is the ultimate amount, the ultimate decider of talent
Speaker 3: or proof of talent perhaps, or is it just innate
Speaker 3: skill that they've got that they can turn it on like.
Speaker 1: That, Well, and it's just to fool people and to
Speaker 1: screw with people's heads, teams heads. Andy Reid is great
Speaker 1: at all that, so is Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes you
Speaker 1: can never count out.
Speaker 3: So is that the way that the Chiefs are just
Speaker 3: going to start spotting team's ten points like that and
Speaker 3: then come back.
Speaker 6: That's what they've been doing as the forty nine ers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of which, they had a good win yesterday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, brock perty has solidified himself where he should be
Speaker 1: at the top of the of the quarterback rankings because
Speaker 1: that has been a knock on him.
Speaker 6: We'll look at all the weapons he has.
Speaker 1: He's got McCaffrey, he's got Kittle, he's got Debo, he's
Speaker 1: got juwan Ja, he's got all these guys, and you
Speaker 1: know what he's had to do without for a few weeks,
Speaker 1: and he just he looks great and he's such a
Speaker 1: I mean, he gets a close up at the camera
Speaker 1: and he's like, hi, mom, you.
Speaker 6: Know, so lovable, so lovable.
Speaker 3: On the baseball end of things, the Dodgers, of course,
Speaker 3: ended their regular season with two to one win yesterday
Speaker 3: against the Rockies. The National League Division Series don't start
Speaker 3: until next weekend. We have to get some things figured
Speaker 3: out before then. The Mets and Braves are playing right now.
Speaker 3: The Mets have actually come back and are now leading
Speaker 3: the Braves six to three thanks to a couple of
Speaker 3: home runs that were just hit.
Speaker 2: So they played.
Speaker 6: Say it was tied at three, I look away, I
Speaker 6: look back at six to three.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they are playing a double header today. This is
Speaker 3: the first game. If either team sweeps wins both of
Speaker 3: these games, then the Arizona Diamondbacks amazingly would make their
Speaker 3: way into the playoffs. But if they split these two games,
Speaker 3: the Diamondbacks lose. Both the Mets and Braves stay in
Speaker 3: and then the actual Wildcards series, the best the two
Speaker 3: out of three series will start tomorrow and whatever team,
Speaker 3: if they're both in it, whatever, they're going to have
Speaker 3: to travel right away and go to either I think
Speaker 3: it's Philadelphia or Milwaukee to play in the Wildcard Series.
Speaker 1: Big problems coming for the US supply chain as thousands,
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of DOC workers maybe walking off the
Speaker 1: job at midnight we'll get an update on.
Speaker 6: The stalemate. I guess with the two sides when we
Speaker 6: come back.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Well, it looks like a massive port strike is upon
Speaker 1: US union representing DOC workers signaled that forty five thousand
Speaker 1: members will walk off the job at midnight, shutting down
Speaker 1: ports across the East and Gulf coasts. Joining US now
Speaker 1: Derek Dennis with ABC News on what we know and
Speaker 1: how this is going to affect our supply chain.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it could be crippling in a word. You mentioned
Speaker 4: it a midnight deadline tonight for these workers to strike
Speaker 4: a deal with the companies that employ them, or they
Speaker 4: could we'll hit the pigot line. Essentially. We're talking about
Speaker 4: dock workers at ports from Maine to Maryland, Miami to Texas,
Speaker 4: along the East Coast and in the Southeast, you know,
Speaker 4: that are threatening to walk off. They want a hefty
Speaker 4: pay raise, and they want guarantees against automation, losing their
Speaker 4: jobs to automation. Complicated matters, for sure, but both sides
Speaker 4: appear to be very far apart. Even as the hours
Speaker 4: tick by, I mean, we're literally down to the wire
Speaker 4: on this and there's still no agreement.
Speaker 3: Have wholesalers of retailer have they been able to plan
Speaker 3: for this? I mean, is there a lot of pre
Speaker 3: ordering going on to move some of that stuff through
Speaker 3: before the ports shutdown?
Speaker 4: You know, we asked that to a couple of retailers
Speaker 4: and they say they've been watching it closely, that they
Speaker 4: expected an agreement by now, and so yes, in some
Speaker 4: sense they've stockpiled.
Speaker 2: Some things just because.
Speaker 4: But big plans, as far as we can tell that
Speaker 4: ABC News have not been put into place yet. You know,
Speaker 4: you get the sense that they're scrambling now, companies like Walmart, Target,
Speaker 4: you know, other big retailers that depend on goods and
Speaker 4: items coming from overseas, that they they're scrambling to sort
Speaker 4: of check their inventory, see what they've got on hand,
Speaker 4: and crossing their fingers that if there is a strike,
Speaker 4: it doesn't last long.
Speaker 6: So where how far apart of these sides?
Speaker 4: So, you know, we check the number the companies have
Speaker 4: offered about a forty percent pay raise to these workers.
Speaker 4: The workers want seventy seven percent reported rais and that
Speaker 4: sounds staggering, but when you think about it, the workers
Speaker 4: are arguing that you know, with the explosion of online
Speaker 4: shopping in recent years, a lot of goods and certain
Speaker 4: and items have been coming from overseas and they are
Speaker 4: the workers that are up, you know, offloading these ships
Speaker 4: of cargo. And so they're seeing the amount of bulk
Speaker 4: supplies that are coming in and they say, these companies
Speaker 4: are raking in record profits and they want a piece
Speaker 4: of the pie. And on the automation demand, you know,
Speaker 4: they're worried that the companies will eliminate their jobs and
Speaker 4: take advantage of the technology that's there, that's in place,
Speaker 4: and have less workers on the job. They want to
Speaker 4: protect against that, not just for them, but for the
Speaker 4: workers who come up years later behind them.
Speaker 3: So what do they do in the event that this
Speaker 3: thing shuts down? To do all of these cargo ships
Speaker 3: reroute and go to? Do they come over here to
Speaker 3: West Coast ports? Are there any other options for them?
Speaker 4: So you know, they'll be held in limbo for at
Speaker 4: least for bit to see how things go. You know,
Speaker 4: if the shrike happens, then it's resolved in a couple
Speaker 4: of days, there's no big impact.
Speaker 8: But if it.
Speaker 4: Lingers, yeah, re rolly would have to happen but it
Speaker 4: would go to ports on the other side of the country,
Speaker 4: which might as well be on the other side of
Speaker 4: the world. You know, to reroute a shift from the
Speaker 4: port of Baltimore to the Port of San Diego is
Speaker 4: not a small feed and it doesn't happen quickly, and
Speaker 4: so there really is pressure on both sides to strike
Speaker 4: a deal.
Speaker 6: Derek, thank you for the update. Will We'll stay tuned.
Speaker 3: Sure, Derek Tennis there reporting for US and for ABC News.
Speaker 3: There is also a concern that this has some sort
Speaker 3: of impact on the election. This is going to put
Speaker 3: President Biden in a tricky spot because he could intervene
Speaker 3: in a labor dispute that would threaten national security or safety.
Speaker 3: He could do though, He could do so by imposing
Speaker 3: what amounts to an eighty day cooling off period, and
Speaker 3: that would force workers back into the jobs while.
Speaker 2: The negotiations continue.
Speaker 3: About twenty years little more than twenty years ago, President
Speaker 3: Bush W. Bush intervened to open the ports after eleven
Speaker 3: days of a strike action by dock workers here on
Speaker 3: the West Coast.
Speaker 2: So there is there is the ability for the president
Speaker 2: to step in.
Speaker 3: It's just the comments that he made yesterday make it
Speaker 3: sound as if he's not interested in using that.
Speaker 2: Mechanism at least at least not yet.
Speaker 6: Chris Christofferson died over the weekend, eighty eight years old.
Speaker 1: He had a job of sweeping floors in Nashville and
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty five ran into June. Carter gave her a
Speaker 1: tape to give to Johnny, and he threw it on
Speaker 1: the pile with all his other tapes. He still needed
Speaker 1: Johnny Cash's attention, so he decided to take a helicopter
Speaker 1: and land it on Johnny Cash's front lawn with a
Speaker 1: beer in one hand and his music in the other.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that for mixtape Monday when we come back.
Speaker 3: You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show. You
Speaker 3: can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty
Speaker 3: nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday, and
Speaker 3: anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
