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 on this Tuesday, April First. Anybody
Speaker 1: planning April First jokes, Sonya, no bad news for Luigi
Speaker 1: MANGIONI remember him. He was the one who shot and
Speaker 1: killed the United Healthcare CEO in New York. US Attorney
Speaker 1: General Pam Bondi pushing for the death penalty in the case.
Speaker 1: She's pointing out in a statement it was a premeditated,
Speaker 1: cold blooding assassination.
Speaker 2: She's ordered Acting US Attorney Matthew.
Speaker 1: Podolski to pursue the death penalty, saying it aligns with
Speaker 1: President Trump's agenda to crack down on violent crime and
Speaker 1: make America safe again.
Speaker 3: Did you see that.
Speaker 4: A ballot initiative has been introduced in California that the
Speaker 4: organizers want to call the Luigi U.
Speaker 3: Mangione Act.
Speaker 4: No, it would The initiative would make it bless you
Speaker 4: illegal for the insurance companies to delay, deny, or modify
Speaker 4: any medical procedure or medication.
Speaker 2: And they're naming it after the guy who shot and
Speaker 2: killed the guy.
Speaker 4: That's the plan. It's up to the Secretary of State's office.
Speaker 2: This is in California. Yeah, let's see who authored that.
Speaker 3: It's it's not any legislator.
Speaker 2: This is a oh you're right, a referendum. Yeah, battician.
Speaker 3: So at this point they won't know.
Speaker 4: I think a public comment period is open for April
Speaker 4: twenty fifth. But what what kind of an a hole
Speaker 4: would then ask that this be named after this guy?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Oh, one quick thing before we get onto our story
Speaker 4: about the sales tax.
Speaker 5: My dad, a retired marine, stated that if I didn't
Speaker 5: learn to drive a stick shift, I wasn't going to
Speaker 5: learn to drive. I currently have a Genesis G eighty
Speaker 5: and my other vehicle, which I've kept as my dog carrier,
Speaker 5: is in nineteen eighty four Toyota land Cruiser FJA sixty
Speaker 5: with a five speed manual transmission. I would probably never
Speaker 5: get rid of that vehicle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a great for a twenty years great vehicle.
Speaker 4: Nothing will go for a million miles. Love the manual,
Speaker 4: Love the manuals Yeah. I mentioned that that was I
Speaker 4: learned on a stick. My kids learned on a stick.
Speaker 4: My wife drove a stick like that is.
Speaker 1: My parents did not, I mean my dad did years ago.
Speaker 1: But in my whole life they had and my mom did.
Speaker 1: I don't think my mom ever learned to drive a
Speaker 1: manual transmission, but I.
Speaker 2: Learned in high school.
Speaker 1: I grabbed a into adjacent I remember what it was.
Speaker 1: But a girlfriend of mine, she had a little hatchback car,
Speaker 1: a little beater that I learned to drive stick on.
Speaker 2: She we swipped.
Speaker 1: We swapped cars for a week and that's how I
Speaker 1: learned to drive stick. Trial and error probably dropped her transmits.
Speaker 1: But anyway, that's how I learned, just by getting in
Speaker 1: the car and nobody, nobody taught me.
Speaker 4: I just kind of taught myself that's the best way
Speaker 4: to do it. And then how long I mean you
Speaker 4: drove you probably I had a couple of forty years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I didn't.
Speaker 4: I drove a stick from the time I was fifteen
Speaker 4: and a half until I was forty six years old.
Speaker 3: Only exclusively drove a stick.
Speaker 4: Well, they're cheaper too, They are cheaper, and like like
Speaker 4: our Brian Moody, our guy from Auto Trader, was saying,
Speaker 4: it forces you to pay attention to what you're doing well.
Speaker 1: And I'm surprised it's not gaining more traction of a
Speaker 1: resurgent idea with people needing to be constantly stimulated. You're
Speaker 1: constantly stimulated if you're driving a manual transmission. True, you're
Speaker 1: never bored in the car. All right, So, sales tax,
Speaker 1: because we don't pay enough, you're going to pay even
Speaker 1: more starting this week. Starting today, you're going to see
Speaker 1: a sales tax increase in LA count on your purchases,
Speaker 1: because why not throw more money that it's not spent
Speaker 1: correctly on the homelessness issue?
Speaker 4: Is this one of those the mentality of voting for
Speaker 4: these ongoing tax increases or fees or something like this,
Speaker 4: attaching the word homeless to it. Is this a lazy
Speaker 4: way for people to feel like they're doing something.
Speaker 1: Yes, and it's been done so many times. I mean,
Speaker 1: bond measure after ballot measure after bondman. We've done this repeatedly.
Speaker 1: We've vocated again, Like we've said on this program for
Speaker 1: ten years, it's not the money that's a problem. It's
Speaker 1: the lack of organization or the will or the looking
Speaker 1: the other way to what the true root of homelessness
Speaker 1: is when it comes to addictions and things like that.
Speaker 1: I mean, you really do need to get dirty and
Speaker 1: do the undesirable things politically and otherwise to to eradicate that.
Speaker 1: You're never going to fully eradicate homelessness, but to make
Speaker 1: a dent in it. It can't just be feelings and
Speaker 1: flowers and muffins. It's got to be, like you say
Speaker 1: all the time, the carrot and the stick. You can't
Speaker 1: make it comfortable for people to be drug users in
Speaker 1: open air. You can't make it comfortable for people to
Speaker 1: live on the streets and be drug users.
Speaker 2: If you make it.
Speaker 1: Comfortable, people aren't going to want to leave that environment.
Speaker 4: Yeah, La County will have one of the highest sales
Speaker 4: taxes in the state at ten and a quarter, sorry,
Speaker 4: at a nine point seventy five. Alameda County right now
Speaker 4: has the highest county wide sales tax at ten and
Speaker 4: a quarter. There are places within La County that are higher,
Speaker 4: but across the board.
Speaker 3: La County is at nine point seventy five percent.
Speaker 4: This morning, and with billions spent on homeless services and
Speaker 4: the results not actually coming through, the board of Supervisors
Speaker 4: is going to vote on a plan today to consolidate
Speaker 4: homeless services into one county department. They said, right now
Speaker 4: they have fourteen different departments that handle different aspects of
Speaker 4: homelessness in La County, and the suggestion, according to Supervisor
Speaker 4: Lindsay Horvath, is to combine it all into one, make
Speaker 4: one giant county clearinghouse for homelessness issues and then have
Speaker 4: all of the money go through there.
Speaker 1: Well, we're going to talk about this more because this
Speaker 1: is a direct reflex to what happened last week, and
Speaker 1: we report it to you when it happened in federal
Speaker 1: court when that Judge David Carter went after the bosses
Speaker 1: of the Board of Supervisors and the bosses of the city,
Speaker 1: including Mayor Karen Bass, for their failure to tract spending.
Speaker 1: I mean, he was so direct to the point and
Speaker 1: scathing and his takedown of these people. Finally was was
Speaker 1: my feeling. Finally, we'll revisit that and tell you what.
Speaker 1: He's holding their feet to the fire too. He not
Speaker 1: only went after them last week, but they're going to
Speaker 1: have to answer to him, and they are going to
Speaker 1: have to track all the money, and we are going
Speaker 1: to probably uncover a lot of fraud and a lot
Speaker 1: of phony, bogus contracts that have been handed out under
Speaker 1: the guise of solving homelessness in La County and who's
Speaker 1: going to benefit when we get to the edit this.
Speaker 2: I bet you better believe it's.
Speaker 1: Going to be all the people that were in that
Speaker 1: room when that judge went after him.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six forty.
Speaker 4: Speaking of the Dodgers, they're now six and oh on
Speaker 4: the season. It's been a long time since they started
Speaker 4: six and oh. They beat the Brave six to one
Speaker 4: last night the seven to ten first pitch Tonight. Angels
Speaker 4: also beat the Cardinals five to four. Their first pitch
Speaker 4: back in Saint Louis is going to be at four
Speaker 4: forty five on this April first.
Speaker 7: Garyan Shannon, I played in April Fool's Joke on the
Speaker 7: checker at Albertson's. I have a little crush on her
Speaker 7: and I went through the line with a cucumber, a
Speaker 7: bottle of baby oil, men's diapers, emodium, and I don't
Speaker 7: think she was so thrilled. I think that she probably
Speaker 7: gets rated on how many items she has to cancel out,
Speaker 7: so kind of.
Speaker 1: Backfired items she has to cancel out, well, okay, a
Speaker 1: couple things.
Speaker 2: Number one.
Speaker 1: I think that's funny, Like if I was working as
Speaker 1: a checker at Alberton's.
Speaker 2: That would break up the day, break up the monotony.
Speaker 1: Right guy comes through with a cucumber baby oil diapers.
Speaker 2: I'd be like, yes, this is why we woke up
Speaker 2: this morning. I'd laugh.
Speaker 1: Now if she didn't laugh at that, she didn't have
Speaker 1: a sense of humor, And that's probably not a love match.
Speaker 3: Or she's so dialed in she doesn't even it doesn't
Speaker 3: even come true.
Speaker 4: It's not odd about that he's the third guy today.
Speaker 4: How about that? That's also a possibility. We were also
Speaker 4: talking about driving. I don't know how we got onto
Speaker 4: the stick ship.
Speaker 8: I have a BMW four forty six speed manual. It
Speaker 8: is the funnest.
Speaker 2: Car to drive.
Speaker 8: Wouldn't drive an automatic for all the cars in the world.
Speaker 8: And I'm sixty five years.
Speaker 3: Old, I'm sixty five.
Speaker 2: Sixty five is like forty five these days.
Speaker 1: One of my girlfriends in high school, I don't remember
Speaker 1: the vehicle it was because I was a high school girl,
Speaker 1: but it was in the It was an older vehicle
Speaker 1: and it was in the shape of an H.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was tricky. I mean you had to
Speaker 2: really know. I mean, it wasn't uh, it wasn't spelled
Speaker 2: out for it. It wasn't a smooth changing of gears.
Speaker 1: You know, you had to like put it up and
Speaker 1: over and then there's a little divot that you had
Speaker 1: to know where that was to get.
Speaker 2: It around there, to get it in gear.
Speaker 4: It was a whole time, some of the ones where
Speaker 4: you had to push down to get it into reverse.
Speaker 4: My dad's sixty five Chevy the pickup three on the
Speaker 4: tree right there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, gear second gear, third gear.
Speaker 2: Three on the tree. That's the last time you heard that.
Speaker 3: That was a very fun, wow vehicle to drive.
Speaker 4: We were talking about La County sales tax just went
Speaker 4: up today to help us cover measure A was it. Yeah,
Speaker 4: because we're so stupid that we can't figure out why,
Speaker 4: well you keep throwing money.
Speaker 3: At it, we can't figure out why it don't work.
Speaker 4: So the sales tax in La County is up to
Speaker 4: nine point seventy five percent from nine point five percent. Also,
Speaker 4: the La County Board of Supervisors today is looking at
Speaker 4: making a move considering whether to pull more than three
Speaker 4: hundred million dollars in funding away from LASA, LA Homeless
Speaker 4: Services Authority and put it back under the county. A
Speaker 4: new county organization designed to keep an eye on homelessness
Speaker 4: and do something about it.
Speaker 1: So last week in federal court, a judge finally held
Speaker 1: these people accountable, the people who have been given these
Speaker 1: boatloads of cash that we have approved as voters in
Speaker 1: La County for the past twenty years, at least since
Speaker 1: as long as I've been paying attention here, and the
Speaker 1: judge in the case, David Carter, went after the mayor,
Speaker 1: went after the head of the Board of supervisors for
Speaker 1: failing to track spending. They weren't even going line by
Speaker 1: line and saying how this money was accounted for, the
Speaker 1: money that we've okayed, the billions of dollars he calls
Speaker 1: he's calling for a forensic audit, despite the fact that
Speaker 1: we've highlighted this last week that there have been several
Speaker 1: audits over the years the county and the city have
Speaker 1: paid agencies to look at how they've wasted money. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're wasting money in the business of wasting money. That's
Speaker 1: how ridiculous this whole thing is. So he wants to
Speaker 1: do like an independent audit. They're not going to be
Speaker 1: involved in it. They're not going to hand out the
Speaker 1: contract to whatever company is going to look into their
Speaker 1: waste of money to see what the hell's going on here.
Speaker 1: Money has been spent, but where are the results. So
Speaker 1: he thinks that there's going to be fraud and abuse
Speaker 1: that's uncovered in this forensic audit. So they are looking
Speaker 1: at a third party to take control of everything.
Speaker 2: A city county.
Speaker 1: You don't get to spend the homelessness money that we
Speaker 1: approved because you've effed it up for so long.
Speaker 4: Now, a part of the disagreement, by the way that
Speaker 4: you mentioned is that the city controller believes that he
Speaker 4: has the power to conduct a new audit, but that
Speaker 4: Mayor Bass doesn't want him to. Her comment last week
Speaker 4: was it would be improper for one elected official to
Speaker 4: audit another. Well, wait a minute, that's what the city
Speaker 4: controller does. That's the job description, whether he's elected or not.
Speaker 4: That's what you elected him to do. Now, if they
Speaker 4: can't figure this out, if they can't agree the controller
Speaker 4: and the mayor on a forensic audit, Judge Carter had
Speaker 4: said that he's talking about like you're referring to this
Speaker 4: third party receiver or basically, I mean, for more casual purposes,
Speaker 4: a homelessness czar for the city of la And now
Speaker 4: that doesn't guarantee anything. That doesn't guarantee smooth operation. It
Speaker 4: doesn't guarantee that we don't continue to waste money on
Speaker 4: this issue, but it does have a central point of contact.
Speaker 4: Whether it's just for David Carter, it's for the media,
Speaker 4: it's for the people in the city. Everybody would have
Speaker 4: at least someone to blame as opposed to blame or
Speaker 4: credit depending on how they do for the ongoing problems
Speaker 4: with the homelessness issues that we've seen.
Speaker 1: All right, coming up next, we talked about these red
Speaker 1: flag laws, the see something, say something turns out that
Speaker 1: a say something a phone line in the wake of
Speaker 1: the Sandy Hook shooting has prevented something like eighteen people
Speaker 1: who had concrete plans to attack schools.
Speaker 2: These are kind of some of the stories you.
Speaker 1: Don't hear about, Like the plane landing safely never makes
Speaker 1: the news, right, right, Not all of these shootings that
Speaker 1: have been stopped ever make the news.
Speaker 2: We'll get into it when we come back.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: I go all hippie on you and start wearing cloth.
Speaker 2: Diapers, oh like with a little safety pen.
Speaker 3: Well it wouldn't be little. It'd be pretty big, wouldn't it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, imagine what you're worth. That didn't come out right.
Speaker 3: Hy, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 4: Both my boys learned on sticks and I did this purposely.
Speaker 4: And those were the cars I feed them so they
Speaker 4: could not text and drive.
Speaker 3: That's an interesting thing, anything about that?
Speaker 4: And Shannon, So I drove them up and down the
Speaker 4: four five freeway for fifteen years driving a stick Oh,
Speaker 4: needless to say, I could skip leg day at the gym.
Speaker 3: Yeah, keeping your foot on that clutch in traffic.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: When I was seventeen, my dad bought me a car,
Speaker 8: and I said, I want a stick shift because that
Speaker 8: way none of my girlfriends will want to borrow my
Speaker 8: car because none of them could drive a stick but
Speaker 8: neither could I. So it said in my driveway for
Speaker 8: a month before I taught myself how to drive it.
Speaker 8: Best decision I ever made. Though none of my friends
Speaker 8: were able to drive my car.
Speaker 2: See that was never my experience because my friends didn't care.
Speaker 1: That they didn't know how to drive it. They'd drive
Speaker 1: it anyway, just like I did with my girlfriend's car. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: So.
Speaker 1: There was a chat group devoted to school shootings on
Speaker 1: the discord app, one of those encrypted end on end
Speaker 1: communications situations. And in this chat group, an eighteen year
Speaker 1: old in Indiana recently typed, I'll be honest, I'm close
Speaker 1: to shooting mine up. I have an AR fifteen. A
Speaker 1: nineteen year old in Wisconsin was in the group chat
Speaker 1: and wrote, that's so cool, but wait, do you have
Speaker 1: a solid plan? And the teenager in Indiana who had
Speaker 1: photos of mass shooters posted on her bedroom wall responded,
Speaker 1: Parkland part two. Of course, I've been planning this for
Speaker 1: a year. She confirmed on this group chat twice that
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day would be the date the same as the
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen school shooting in Parkland. That's the one that
Speaker 1: killed fourteen students left three adults killed as well. Another
Speaker 1: member of this group chat said, Okay, that'll.
Speaker 2: Be enough of that.
Speaker 1: Contacted these say something. Anonymous reporting system set up by
Speaker 1: Sandy Hook Promise, the group founded by the parents the
Speaker 1: Sandy Hook Parents. An operator at the twenty four hour
Speaker 1: tip line called the FBI. They track down that teenager
Speaker 1: in Indiana. They search her home. They find multiple AR
Speaker 1: fourteens fifteen's excuse me, a box of forty caliber AMMO
Speaker 1: and they thwart what they believe was absolutely going to
Speaker 1: be a shooting. Her name was Trinity Shockley, Yes female,
Speaker 1: arrested in charge with conspiracy to commit murder the eighteenth
Speaker 1: Credible school shooting interrupted by a tip to this say
Speaker 1: Something phone line since twenty eighteen.
Speaker 4: Okay, I I do have a hard time though.
Speaker 3: How do they know how?
Speaker 4: And I guess there's no just better to be safe
Speaker 4: than sorry in the situation like this, But how do
Speaker 4: they know it was actually going to come to fruition?
Speaker 4: I meant it does have all the ingredients. In many cases,
Speaker 4: it does have the ingredients that would make it possible.
Speaker 2: So you're waiting for a football move kind of yeah.
Speaker 4: And I'm not saying that the kids like this. Obviously
Speaker 4: somebody needs to step in. That's not what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: You're not.
Speaker 4: You don't just do it hands off until they do
Speaker 4: something awful. Because clearly the infatuation with that kind of event,
Speaker 4: the infatuation, the videos, the information, the studying on the
Speaker 4: researching these school shootings, that's a sign of a bad thing.
Speaker 1: I think you have to take them all together. If
Speaker 1: it was just one comment, it's one comment, It's like
Speaker 1: the kid in I want to say, somewhere in the
Speaker 1: Midwest whose parents were called into the school. He had
Speaker 1: been drawing something about a gun, and it was coupled
Speaker 1: with the fact that he also said he's depressed and
Speaker 1: asked for a counselor for three years.
Speaker 2: Or what have you.
Speaker 1: You got to take all these things, I guess into
Speaker 1: consideration before you roll on it.
Speaker 2: You roll officers out there.
Speaker 1: The fact that she had talked about wanting to kill,
Speaker 1: had the mass shooters on her walls, had access to guns,
Speaker 1: and AMMO made several comments about it. How do you
Speaker 1: not take that seriously?
Speaker 4: And I mean, when weever we do stories like this,
Speaker 4: whether it's the parents that gave their kid the gun,
Speaker 4: or parents like this who appear to be so completely
Speaker 4: out of touch with their own kids that they don't
Speaker 4: know that that's what's going on in their kid's life.
Speaker 1: Well, and it's also delicate when you're looking at areas
Speaker 1: of the country where firearms are a way of life. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the dad's got several ar fifteens, but so does Bob
Speaker 1: across the street, and so does Janine down the hill.
Speaker 2: You know, I mean, it's just the way it is.
Speaker 2: It's not odd. I mean, if somebody here in.
Speaker 1: LA had a cash of fifteen ar fifteens, you'd be like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's weird.
Speaker 2: But it's not in many areas, right.
Speaker 4: And it's also based on very anecdotal evidence, and that's
Speaker 4: just from being an observer to situations like this. It's
Speaker 4: rarely the kid who has been taught how to use
Speaker 4: guns and to respect guns for h or her for
Speaker 4: their life. They're rarely the ones that go in and
Speaker 4: then use those guns to hurt other people.
Speaker 3: It has happened.
Speaker 4: It's not saying it doesn't happen, but there's generally my house,
Speaker 4: we were taught very very early on. These were not toys.
Speaker 4: They're not something to be messed.
Speaker 1: Also very rare that a kid that grows up in
Speaker 1: a home with no guns goes on to do this
Speaker 1: though as well, Access is a big part of it.
Speaker 4: So they've said that you mentioned that they've they're at
Speaker 4: least eighteen of these that they believe, countless lives saved.
Speaker 4: According to Mark Barden, who is the Sandy Hook Promised
Speaker 4: co founder. Mark lost his son Daniel back in twenty twelve.
Speaker 4: He sent to video thanking the students at Largo High
Speaker 4: School and the first responders who intervened in one of
Speaker 4: those situations. It's again the say tips to the Say
Speaker 4: Something line have also prevented more than seven hundred teen
Speaker 4: suicides nationwide, using in school tre sessions to teach students
Speaker 4: how to recognize a threat, how to report it, et cetera.
Speaker 4: And again, it's one of those things like if that's true,
Speaker 4: that's awesome, that's incredible, that's great work.
Speaker 3: But how do we know it's it was going to
Speaker 3: get to that level.
Speaker 2: I don't know if we need to.
Speaker 1: I think that intervention with a kid who's talking that
Speaker 1: much about shooting up a school and having access to weapons,
Speaker 1: there should be an intervention there, and a cal therapist
Speaker 1: exactly should be.
Speaker 2: Called for that child.
Speaker 1: Whatever that kid's going through, it's something more than the
Speaker 1: average child.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: Coming up next, people are stealing from Whole Foods and Amazon.
Speaker 4: I left the reference to the Lex Luthor. Yes, the
Speaker 4: Superman villain. Gary and Shannon will continue in just a moment.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six forty.
Speaker 4: There is a developing story out of Boston. Just about
Speaker 4: a half an hour ago, a big rider moving van
Speaker 4: truck penske sorry slammed into a bunch of pedestrians in
Speaker 4: an area downtown Boston. If you know it, it's the
Speaker 4: intersection of Niland and Harrison. They said at least five
Speaker 4: people have been hit. Pretty busy spot that is located
Speaker 4: right near Boston Medical Center and the Chinatown area in Boston.
Speaker 4: A lot of foot traffic in that area at that
Speaker 4: time of day. Emergency crews rushed in. They said they
Speaker 4: have five patients at hospitals now, conditions to be determined.
Speaker 4: They have not yet said or have not yet been
Speaker 4: able to figure out if this was an accident, a breakdown,
Speaker 4: maybe some sort of an attack. But again, a truck
Speaker 4: crashed off of a Boston street and hit a handful
Speaker 4: of people, So keep an eye on that. Let us
Speaker 4: let you know when we find out.
Speaker 3: Some more.
Speaker 4: Shoplifters are targeting whole foods.
Speaker 3: Because you can.
Speaker 4: Never have too many gluten free frostings or something. They
Speaker 4: say they're not doing anything wrong because they're simply liberating
Speaker 4: items from lex Luthor. They are describing Jeff Bezos as
Speaker 4: lex Luthor, and they figure, well, he won't miss any
Speaker 4: of it, so why don't I just take it Jesse,
Speaker 4: one of nearly a dozen Whole Foods thieves interviewed by
Speaker 4: a news outlet by Business Insider, said that he would
Speaker 4: often steal entire bags of groceries, including steaks, from the
Speaker 4: store with his roommate.
Speaker 3: Jesse not his real name.
Speaker 4: He said, I never felt bad for the corporation as
Speaker 4: a whole, because it was Amazon, and you know, it
Speaker 4: was Jeff Bezos. This guy, a thirty something year old
Speaker 4: tech worker, said he just profits so much taking advantage
Speaker 4: of the little people. So if we as little people
Speaker 4: can bite back a little bit, that's me taking one
Speaker 4: hundred dollars maybe out of revenue for him. That's a
Speaker 4: little bit of a middle finger. He doesn't care, Jesse.
Speaker 4: Just so you know, the bigger act would be to
Speaker 4: stop buying Amazon and stop going to Whole Foods. That
Speaker 4: that's going to impact him a lot more if you
Speaker 4: could convince people to do that. Another regular Whole Foods thief,
Speaker 4: somebody named Carson, said he and his friends joke that
Speaker 4: they're not stealing items from the store, but they are
Speaker 4: liberating them. A whole pack of smoked salmon that he
Speaker 4: had stashed in his laptop case. He said he works
Speaker 4: at a nonprofit that he saves about one thousand dollars
Speaker 4: a year.
Speaker 3: Ripping off Whole Foods.
Speaker 4: He also has a scheme where he buys hundreds of
Speaker 4: dollars of decorations from Amazon, uses them, and then returns
Speaker 4: them to get his money back. And he said, my
Speaker 4: lack of remorse for any of this is it's because
Speaker 4: it's a big corporation. They have so much money. Eggs
Speaker 4: are ten dollars. Screw them, said another one who steals
Speaker 4: from Whole Foods, Elon Musk, of course, is seen in
Speaker 4: a similar light, and that's why people are torching and
Speaker 4: vandalizing a bunch of Tesla's and vandalizing the dealerships. Musc
Speaker 4: has taken heat because he is the head of Doge,
Speaker 4: but he and Jeff Bezos, who are the two world's
Speaker 4: two richest men in that order. Jeff Bezos blocked the
Speaker 4: Washington Posts endorsement of Kamala Harris last.
Speaker 3: Year, alligedly.
Speaker 4: Some of the other petty criminals say that they feel
Speaker 4: indifferent after they steal from Jeff Bezos's business, but they're
Speaker 4: not the only ones. Regular people, of course, suffer the
Speaker 4: consequences if you do not steal from whole foods. Then
Speaker 4: you have to end up paying the difference for those
Speaker 4: morons who do steal from whole foods. What would you
Speaker 4: steal from whole foods?
Speaker 3: Your favorite?
Speaker 2: I would steal a salad.
Speaker 1: I'm still a little bit upset with whole Foods because
Speaker 1: of a salad I purchased, probably about three years ago.
Speaker 1: The salad included romaine lettuce, It included a few slices
Speaker 1: of cucumber. It included some garbonzo beans, and I believe
Speaker 1: that is it. I placed one little container of I
Speaker 1: believe it was Italian, maybe a lemon vinegarrette in a
Speaker 1: small container, put it in the box, took it to
Speaker 1: the checkout, and they told me that salad was going to.
Speaker 2: Be twelve dollars.
Speaker 1: Twelve dollars for pieces of lettuce, pieces of cucumber, a
Speaker 1: couple of garbonzo beans, and some vinegar f and rett.
Speaker 2: So I would steal that salad.
Speaker 1: In fact, I still might go back, make same salad
Speaker 1: and steal it and then say, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: What do you do, Jeff Bezie, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: They're gonna tackle I meanine that, you know, because it's
Speaker 1: not their fault. It's my fault. I'm the ass in
Speaker 1: this asinine story. Why because I should have known that
Speaker 1: that was going to be the outcome, or I should
Speaker 1: have thought about that potentially being the outcome. Who am
Speaker 1: I to think that a salad that includes nothing is
Speaker 1: going to be twelve dollars?
Speaker 2: That should have been a four dollars salad. If that's
Speaker 2: you had too many garbonzo beans in there, it was
Speaker 2: weighing too much. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: If you can't get a cold can of guy old
Speaker 1: can of garbonzo beans for about sixty nine cents, very true.
Speaker 1: And I didn't put a whole can in there. I
Speaker 1: put it in about a third of a can, maybe
Speaker 1: maybe probably a fourth of a can, So that should
Speaker 1: have been like twelve cents. But no, they weigh the
Speaker 1: garbonzo beans a whole foods like they're wearing golden nuggets.
Speaker 3: They're about three things.
Speaker 2: It makes no sense. The wait, get out of here.
Speaker 1: Seriously, what are you weighing that's in a salad that
Speaker 1: cost anything nothing?
Speaker 2: It's the box too, I don't know. Now now you
Speaker 2: put me in a mood.
Speaker 3: Oh I'm having a great day. I'm driving to play pickleball. Good.
Speaker 3: I'm listening to.
Speaker 4: You all on the radio like I do every day.

Speaker 2: On my Lynch notes, I hope everyone else is having
Speaker 2: a good day.

Speaker 1: shining through the window too.
