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. That's a story in the Business
Speaker 1: Insider this morning about money dysmorphia that millennials and Gen
Speaker 1: zers are more prone to experiencing this, that they they.
Speaker 2: Are caused significant.
Speaker 1: Stress by worries about money, to which I say, they're
Speaker 1: young people.
Speaker 2: That's not body dysmorphia.
Speaker 1: That's being twenty two and broke, just like every other
Speaker 1: twenty two year old in the world.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not a condition.
Speaker 1: It goes back to us labeling every life experience as
Speaker 1: some sort of condition.
Speaker 3: It's not. It is not being completely normal.
Speaker 4: Just being A park fire up in northern California is
Speaker 4: up now three hundred and ninety two thousand acres eighteen
Speaker 4: percent contained of Nixon Fire burning out in near Temeculus
Speaker 4: just over five thousand acres is only about fourteen percent contained.
Speaker 1: A historic prisoner swamp today among six countries, twenty four
Speaker 1: different prisoners.
Speaker 3: It's where we kick off swamp watch.
Speaker 5: Swamp is horrible.
Speaker 3: The government doesn't work. Man make it like a reality
Speaker 3: TV show. Corn was a bad deus, always a pleasure
Speaker 3: to be anywhere from Washington.
Speaker 5: D C.
Speaker 6: Hey Joe, a town all too clearly built on a
Speaker 6: swamp and in so many ways still a swamp.
Speaker 3: I have to watch a Milwaukee.
Speaker 7: Nobody said drained the swamp.
Speaker 3: I said, oh, that's so keep yepp mansh.
Speaker 8: You know the thing families and I were able to
Speaker 8: speak to them on telephone from the Oval Office. They're
Speaker 8: out of Russia earlier today, they're flown to Turkey, and
Speaker 8: soon there'll be wheels up on their way home to
Speaker 8: see their families.
Speaker 4: That was the right At the beginning of the show.
Speaker 4: President Biden made made it official from the White House,
Speaker 4: standing with the families of some of the people who
Speaker 4: have been freed by Russia.
Speaker 1: So we got a journalist back, we got a couple
Speaker 1: journalists back print and radio, and we got a veteran back,
Speaker 1: and Russia got its way.
Speaker 2: Frankly, that's kind of the takeaway.
Speaker 1: Yes, it feels good, it's great, it's wonderful for these families,
Speaker 1: but Russia and Putin got their way. They get back
Speaker 1: their usual basket of criminals, including Adam Krasokov, a colonel
Speaker 1: in the Russian intelligence services. He was sentenced to life
Speaker 1: in Germany after carrying out a Kremlin ordered hit on
Speaker 1: a Russian dissident in Berlin. Moscow's shopping list also included
Speaker 1: Russian money launderer and two Russian spies.
Speaker 4: The president, this is an interesting thing, a fact that
Speaker 4: came out of the Wall Street Journal reporting on this.
Speaker 4: He obviously notified the world a week and a half
Speaker 4: ago that he was going to step out of the
Speaker 4: presidential race. About an hour before he made that announcement,
Speaker 4: he called the Prime Minister of Slovenia. They were contributing
Speaker 4: a couple of convicted Russian spies to part of this,
Speaker 4: to make sure that they could secure the pardon necessary
Speaker 4: for the deal to proceed. The CIA director went to
Speaker 4: Turkey last week to meet his counterpart and to finalize
Speaker 4: all of the logistics for all of this.
Speaker 1: And I love the victory lap and I love that
Speaker 1: we all feel good about this, and this was a successful,
Speaker 1: complicated situation. But the reality is that the Russians are
Speaker 1: just good at taking hostages. They arrest people on trumped
Speaker 1: up charges and then agree to free them for very
Speaker 1: very very bad.
Speaker 3: People, very asymmetrical.
Speaker 4: We tend to have, you know, a legal system in
Speaker 4: this country, and that even if you are not an
Speaker 4: American citizen, but that you are caught in this country,
Speaker 4: we put you through the legal system for the most part,
Speaker 4: right and Russia does not do that. Russia can pick
Speaker 4: up whoever they want, whenever they want, and you know,
Speaker 4: either completely blow things out of proportion, like Britney Grinder's
Speaker 4: drug conviction, or completely make them up, like saying that
Speaker 4: Evan Gershkevich was an was a CIA agent.
Speaker 1: Well, one of the ways that they tried to get
Speaker 1: that killer back is when they grabbed Britney Griner. That
Speaker 1: wasn't going to work because America couldn't go to Germany
Speaker 1: and say, hey, they've got one of ours or another
Speaker 1: one of ours, get rid of this guy or release
Speaker 1: this guy. The reason that they were able to do that,
Speaker 1: or that Germany was able to save face, I guess
Speaker 1: you could say and agree to this is because one
Speaker 1: of the hostages released was a German citizen who was
Speaker 1: arrested in Russia for gummies, gummies, cannabis gummies.
Speaker 4: So one of the issues that has come up foreign
Speaker 4: policy experts. We'll talk about this for a long time.
Speaker 4: Like you suggested earlier, there will be books written about
Speaker 4: the machinations that go into this.
Speaker 3: Movies will be made about this.
Speaker 4: Michael Allen is a foreign policy expert who worked for
Speaker 4: the Bush administration and talked that I said, I should
Speaker 4: say that the timing of this may have something to
Speaker 4: do with the fact that Joe Biden is the lamest
Speaker 4: of lame duck presidents that we've seen.
Speaker 6: You know, I think a lot of this has to
Speaker 6: do with the withdrawal of President Biden not running again
Speaker 6: next time.
Speaker 2: I think he's.
Speaker 6: Able to go to some NATO allies maybe with heavy heart,
Speaker 6: and say, listen, I understand that this Russian committed murder
Speaker 6: in a park in front of children inside of Munich,
Speaker 6: but we're trying to do a historic deal here. Let's
Speaker 6: win one for the Gipper, if you will, let us
Speaker 6: have a little bit of room in order to trade
Speaker 6: this particular Russian. So I think Biden is leaning hard
Speaker 6: on friends and especially NATO allies, so that he can
Speaker 6: try and get a grand deal.
Speaker 4: And again, Michael Allen said that a couple hours before
Speaker 4: the President talked about the negotiations.
Speaker 8: Made this possible was the feet of diplomacy and friendship.
Speaker 8: Friendship vulnerable countries help get this done. They joined a
Speaker 8: difficult complex negotiations at my request, and I personally thank
Speaker 8: them all again. I thank them personally.
Speaker 3: I'll thank them again. You'd have to be friends to
Speaker 3: make some of that deal. Hey, Gary and Shannon and
Speaker 3: this Mandy. I just thought it was so funny because
Speaker 3: as soon as you say, Shannon, as soon as you said.
Speaker 5: Show me your genitals, I started singing that song.
Speaker 3: And then he started sing that song. I was like, man,
Speaker 3: this show has really warped me in a good way.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 1: I was hoping I was alone genital and that your
Speaker 1: genitals show me your genitals.
Speaker 3: In the middle of swamp watch.
Speaker 9: Jerry Shannon.
Speaker 3: Yes, dumb question. Yeah, if Kamala Harris becomes president, what's
Speaker 3: going to be the first man? It's going to be
Speaker 3: the first like the first gentleman, isn't that Doug?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Doug?
Speaker 3: M huff un huff huffy.
Speaker 2: Did he think she was not married?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's what it was.
Speaker 4: I did see a great tweet the other day that said,
Speaker 4: if she's elected president, he should forego the title of
Speaker 4: first gentlemen and just go by Doug so that when
Speaker 4: they do a big formal introduction, they say ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 4: the President of the United States, Madam Kamala Harris and
Speaker 4: Doug that would be great.
Speaker 9: Why do people defend Britney Griner. She wasn't set up.
Speaker 9: She brought drugs into a place where you're not allowed
Speaker 9: to have drugs. She knew what she was doing. She
Speaker 9: took the chance. That's ridiculous. Stop defending her. She should
Speaker 9: have served her sentence there and she should have been
Speaker 9: punished because she brought dope into a place where they
Speaker 9: don't like dope. Just amazing.
Speaker 4: Stop it, okay, please, we were saying that she held
Speaker 4: as a political prisoner for the amount of hash oil
Speaker 4: that she was caught with. The normal sentence is about
Speaker 4: two weeks in jail. If that and she got nine
Speaker 4: years as a sentence. That was the problem with it,
Speaker 4: not defending or she that was a stupid move on
Speaker 4: her part, but also they took advantage of her stupid
Speaker 4: move and tried to make it into a giant thing.
Speaker 1: Kids, don't take drugs on your travels, okay, don't take drugs,
Speaker 1: Just general and buy.
Speaker 2: Him when you get there.
Speaker 1: A man in Orange County, the one accused of running
Speaker 1: that betting operation whose customers included shohe Atani's former interpreter.
Speaker 1: He has agreed to plead guilty to a trio of
Speaker 1: federal charges. Matthew Boyer is his name. He's expected to
Speaker 1: flee guilty next week to charges of operating an unlawful
Speaker 1: gambling business, money laundering, and filing a false tax return.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 4: You can't really run an illegal gambling without filing a
Speaker 4: false tax return, can you?
Speaker 11: Right?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 1: So President, don't we all kind of file false tax returns?
Speaker 3: What do you mean?
Speaker 4: How dare you?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: We all take liberties.
Speaker 3: I don't know what you speak of.
Speaker 2: Well, you don't do your own taxes.
Speaker 1: That's not true. That's true. Do you prepare your taxes?
Speaker 3: I do not? You do not?
Speaker 2: Case closed? You can you?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 2: Please.
Speaker 4: National Association Black Journalists, we played for you yesterday.
Speaker 3: This was President Trump.
Speaker 7: She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only
Speaker 7: promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she was black until
Speaker 7: a number of years ago when she happened to turn black,
Speaker 7: and now she wants to be known as black. So
Speaker 7: I don't know is she Indian or is she black?
Speaker 1: She is always college.
Speaker 7: I respect either one.
Speaker 9: But she obviously doesn't.
Speaker 1: Could he have said something like she used to always
Speaker 1: when I knew her years ago, she was always leaning
Speaker 1: into Indian heritage. Could he have said something like that
Speaker 1: and gotten away with it. He's very nuanced in his speech.
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering or if it's just all off the table.
Speaker 1: People on both sides of the aisle condemned him for that.
Speaker 1: Texas Senator John Corny.
Speaker 6: I mean, I think we're all a combination of something right.
Speaker 11: And so, but I'm not going to get involved in
Speaker 11: the back and forth.
Speaker 3: South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham. I'm known the Vice president
Speaker 3: for a while.
Speaker 6: She's always embraced her heritage proudly as she should. My
Speaker 6: problem with Vice President Harris's the policy choices she's made.
Speaker 3: And then Dick Durbin, Senator out Illinois, after what he put.
Speaker 11: Barack Obama through. It's no surprise, but it is a disappointment.
Speaker 11: We need to raise the rhetoric in this race to
Speaker 11: a level where the American people can be proud of
Speaker 11: both Canada.
Speaker 2: Please, what a Pollyanna? I love your optim Okay. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Trump first got involved in politics when he called for
Speaker 1: remember the long form birth certificate for Barack Obama, and
Speaker 1: there was a bunch of time where Barack O I
Speaker 1: almost like, screw this. I'm like, there's no reason for this,
Speaker 1: and then eventually had to release it and uh, speaking
Speaker 1: to a sorority. Uh, Kamala Harris said that his speech
Speaker 1: was the same old show, same old show, same old show.
Speaker 1: I almost thought she wanted to say a different word.
Speaker 1: There a different Oh.
Speaker 10: Donald Trump spoke at the annual meeting of the National
Speaker 10: Association of Black Journalists, and it was the same old show,
Speaker 10: the divisiveness and the disrespect.
Speaker 3: See, I thought she was going to say something else.
Speaker 1: See, there were some people who who sent us propaganda
Speaker 1: about her, just uh, you know, pictures of her dressed
Speaker 1: in Indian garb and things, family photos and things, and saying,
Speaker 1: you know, this is not a black family or what
Speaker 1: have you. And people true believers that believe that they're
Speaker 1: that maybe she isn't black or that she turned black,
Speaker 1: which is troubling, as opposed to at least one of
Speaker 1: our coworkers who's a super Trump guy and was just like,
Speaker 1: I love it. It's hilarious. I love that guy. I
Speaker 1: love everything he says. He doesn't take him seriously, but
Speaker 1: just loves him. The entertainment, the entertainment of it all.
Speaker 3: I did.
Speaker 4: Where to the point where you either have to care
Speaker 4: a lot about her heritage and how she identifies, or
Speaker 4: you have to care.
Speaker 3: None at all.
Speaker 4: And I can't figure out which one we're supposed to be.
Speaker 4: Do I care? Do I care whether she identifies as
Speaker 4: Indian or Black or some combination thereof?
Speaker 2: Are you just German? Are you more things?
Speaker 4: I'm very mutty, very North European. Maybe a little Welsh,
Speaker 4: a lot of Welsh. Really, I just nailed that. Look
Speaker 4: at me, and there's there's some there's some you know,
Speaker 4: there's some other stuff that gets in there that would
Speaker 4: add to my flavor.
Speaker 1: Perhaps, Yeah, Pacific islander. I don't know there's any Pacific islander.
Speaker 1: But there are some other far fle, far fetched portions
Speaker 1: of the globe from whence my DNA came.
Speaker 4: Really, yeah, it's weird, Trust me, it's weird. Where far
Speaker 4: flung where there were some from Africa and some from
Speaker 4: South America? Interesting at least in whatever I spit into
Speaker 4: a cup and sent it.
Speaker 3: In the mail. What did they know? Ethnic? I know?
Speaker 3: That's exactly what people say to me all the time.
Speaker 1: Mark Saltzman is our tech guru and we like to
Speaker 1: talk to him at this time on Thursdays.
Speaker 3: The machines are getting smarter. This is tech Talk, brought
Speaker 3: to you by Skynet.
Speaker 1: Well, we are hitting the road this summer, and Google
Speaker 1: Maps is the lane we drive in most of the time.
Speaker 1: Mark Saltzman has some tips and tricks to try during
Speaker 1: your summer travel.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Hey, first of all, happy Thursday, or as they say,
Speaker 5: happy Little Friday. And yeah, it's that time of the
Speaker 5: year where you know, I don't know if this is
Speaker 5: the same in Socow where people hit the road in
Speaker 5: the summer because you have like steady, beautiful weather.
Speaker 3: All year round.
Speaker 4: Right, Well, I don't know about all year round, but
Speaker 4: oh yeah, please, Well we only have three hundred and
Speaker 4: sixty five days, about three hundred and sixty of them
Speaker 4: are really good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, fair, fair, So in many other parts of
Speaker 5: the country, this is the time where you load up
Speaker 5: the kids they may not be back in school yet,
Speaker 5: and you head out on the road.
Speaker 3: So I wrote a piece on how to leverage.
Speaker 5: Google Maps, which many of us use, or Ways which
Speaker 5: is owned by Google. Now, by the way and Ways
Speaker 5: to get pun intended to get more out of the
Speaker 5: mapping app that you know and love.
Speaker 3: So a couple little things that you may not know
Speaker 3: your Google Maps can do.
Speaker 5: One of them is, if you don't have a healthy
Speaker 5: data plan with your mobile phone, or you're traveling out
Speaker 5: of the country and you have to pay for data
Speaker 5: through a carrier, a mobile phone carrier provider, you can
Speaker 5: download maps to use offline.
Speaker 3: You just go into the options.
Speaker 5: You select the destination before you go, or when you're
Speaker 5: on free Wi Fi, like at the hotel, and then
Speaker 5: you go into the options and you can choose offline
Speaker 5: maps and you will be able to see the map
Speaker 5: an overhead view of the map, and make sure you
Speaker 5: just draw with your finger how big you want, like
Speaker 5: do you want all of New York for example, it
Speaker 5: will be it'll use up more data than just one
Speaker 5: little neighborhood within New York, but it'll be all offline,
Speaker 5: so will not tap into your data, which is especially
Speaker 5: good when you're overseas. Another one is if you're going
Speaker 5: to say Disneyland or a national park, where you find
Speaker 5: where you've parked, it's going to be very tough to
Speaker 5: find it later because it's like a massive parking lot.
Speaker 5: We've all been there, especially parents who are just exhausted
Speaker 5: and you're kind of on autopilot.
Speaker 3: You park and you don't remember where you put the minivan.
Speaker 5: Afterwards, you can many apps will now automatically pin where
Speaker 5: you've parked, not just Google Maps but others as.
Speaker 4: Well, or will it give you actual walking directions back
Speaker 4: to it. I mean that's the whole thing, right, Well,
Speaker 4: that's pretty great because the lower version of that is
Speaker 4: you take a snap a picture of Donald Ducks Section
Speaker 4: E or something. Yeah, exactly, you're in the you know,
Speaker 4: lot e seventeen, or you look for a landmark, you know.
Speaker 4: So that is something that's indy, is that Google Maps
Speaker 4: will remember where you parked, or if you if it's
Speaker 4: not set up to do so automatically, you just tap
Speaker 4: this little button at the bottom of the screen before
Speaker 4: you if you can remember that as you're multitasking with
Speaker 4: holding kids and strollers and car seats and all that,
Speaker 4: it will give you step by step directions back to
Speaker 4: your car with some degree of accuracy. It's using GPS,
Speaker 4: it down to a couple of feet, so it.
Speaker 3: Should be, you know, cool at that point.
Speaker 5: At that point you just use your fob to make it,
Speaker 5: you know, make your vehicle make a noise helpful.
Speaker 2: Going to a football game or after a football game.
Speaker 3: That's another good application.
Speaker 1: I see that or lost after a game. It's so
Speaker 1: file because people don't remember that. They just they're excited
Speaker 1: to go to the game. They just park somewhere and
Speaker 1: then they I'm out of the stadium in a different spot,
Speaker 1: and they're completely turned around.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good one.
Speaker 5: If your listeners have tweens or teens and they are
Speaker 5: starting to venture out on their own, but you want
Speaker 5: a little bit of peace of mind, you can use
Speaker 5: location sharing. So it's you know, the deal is, okay,
Speaker 5: I'm going to let you go to your whatever friend's house,
Speaker 5: but I want to be able to see where you are.
Speaker 5: So that's an opt in feature to share with family
Speaker 5: members where you're meeting up and they can keep an
Speaker 5: eye on you digitally, you know, just as a safety
Speaker 5: production precaution. There's a bunch of other tips. If you're
Speaker 5: in this article. There's something new called immersive view that
Speaker 5: leverages AI. It's kind of like that, you know, the
Speaker 5: real photos that you can see, you know, or augmented
Speaker 5: reality view through your phone's lens. When you're traveling somewhere new,
Speaker 5: it'll give you information about like the Eiffel Tower, for example.
Speaker 5: But immersive view takes to the next level.
Speaker 3: Very cool.
Speaker 4: That's that's one I've seen where you could stand on
Speaker 4: a street corner, right, I assume the augmented reality version
Speaker 4: of that, where you you could look around and it
Speaker 4: will tell you which restaurants, for example, are nearby.
Speaker 3: Or Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 5: But just be careful if you are on a street
Speaker 5: corner that you aren't looking at your phone, even if
Speaker 5: you are looking through your phone's camera lens and you
Speaker 5: can still see the world around you, you know, just
Speaker 5: just exercise some extra caution around traffic.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's lots more.
Speaker 5: There's the ability to locate ev charging stations through Google Maps,
Speaker 5: finding bike or scooter scooter rentals u doing so there's
Speaker 5: a lot. So if you just google Google Maps or
Speaker 5: tips and Tricks and my name Mark Saltsman, Mark with
Speaker 5: a C, Saltsman with a Z, you'll be able to
Speaker 5: find all these little hacks. The newest one I'll leave
Speaker 5: you with is called It's it's basically the ability to
Speaker 5: see when the most popular times are at a destination.
Speaker 5: So you know what to expect. Right, So there's a
Speaker 5: trendy cafe in Beverly Hills. You can scroll down to
Speaker 5: find at that says popular times, and you'll know how
Speaker 5: busy it should be, whether you're traveling or you're just
Speaker 5: in your own hometown. It could. It will vary in
Speaker 5: real time throughout the day and give you a sense. Similarly,
Speaker 5: if you haven't done this before, when you're looking to
Speaker 5: Google directions somewhere but you're not leaving just yet. Let's
Speaker 5: say you're leaving the next morning, it will take into
Speaker 5: account using data what the average time should be when
Speaker 5: you say you're going to leave, Like tomorrow morning at
Speaker 5: eight am is going to be different in la as
Speaker 5: we would know than you know on three o'clock, or
Speaker 5: maybe not, because you know, rush hour is kind of
Speaker 5: a thing of the past these days.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, Mark, the other article you wrote is about
Speaker 4: something I'm afraid that we need, which is a parcel guard,
Speaker 4: a personal parcel box to prevent people from stealing the
Speaker 4: stuff that you order online.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So I've written about ports pirates a lot over the years,
Speaker 5: and you know your ring doorbell can only do so much.
Speaker 5: It's not going to really, Yeah, sure it can act
Speaker 5: as a bit of a deterrent, but if the thief
Speaker 5: doesn't care or they're covering face, it's.
Speaker 3: It's only going to be a to turn or maybe some.
Speaker 5: Video evidence after your package has been lifted. And so
Speaker 5: what's becoming more popular. So there's a few things you
Speaker 5: can do to lower the odds of your your packages
Speaker 5: getting stolen. And if we are traveling more this summer,
Speaker 5: just to tie it into our last topic, then you
Speaker 5: aren't at home to accept packages. So one is a
Speaker 5: parcel box or your own personal mailbox that can take
Speaker 5: boxes as well that you would put on your porch,
Speaker 5: and you can secure them to you know, a little
Speaker 5: fence if you have there. Some of them come with
Speaker 5: like a little chain lock or you know something like
Speaker 5: that padlock, or you can secure it to the wall
Speaker 5: if you're up for that, or just put some sandbags
Speaker 5: inside at the bottom. But the idea is that it's
Speaker 5: big enough to accept a few boxes there as low
Speaker 5: as you know, under a hundred box that if you
Speaker 5: do like to shop online and you're not as home
Speaker 5: that much these days, you can go with those. Now,
Speaker 5: those are the ones that are under one hundred bucks,
Speaker 5: are just a regular dumb box with a mechanical key.
Speaker 5: There are some quote unquote smart parcel boxes that have
Speaker 5: cameras and sensors that will push a notification to your
Speaker 5: phone when the door has been opened, and they'll snap
Speaker 5: a picture of the person dropping it in and all
Speaker 5: that kind of stuff. But if you don't need that,
Speaker 5: then they're pretty cheap.
Speaker 3: That's one option.
Speaker 5: Another is to rent a po box through you know
Speaker 5: ups sorry usps. Yeah, you have to make an extra
Speaker 5: trip on the way home from work to pick up
Speaker 5: that package, but it's better than that package not being there.
Speaker 5: So yeah, you can rent a box or send it
Speaker 5: to you know, to work if your boss is okay
Speaker 5: with it.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: With Amazon, for example, you can pull down the options
Speaker 5: and choose another address. And then, finally, with Amazon, there
Speaker 5: is an option called in in Sorry, it's called key
Speaker 5: in Garage Delivery Amazon key in Garage Delivery. As the
Speaker 5: name suggests, you are letting a vetted driver punch in
Speaker 5: a one time unique code so you don't have to
Speaker 5: give out your real garage key code. If you have
Speaker 5: a little keypad and.
Speaker 1: We each got a piece of mail here, Uh, does
Speaker 1: yours have any white powder in it?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 4: But it's got It's quite a menagerie of fellow addresses.
Speaker 3: It's got you and I, it's got Petress and money.
Speaker 2: Ah, that's an interesting.
Speaker 3: Rodney and Fred.
Speaker 1: This is a This appears to be on manifesto, is
Speaker 1: it not. I write you all for a couple of reasons.
Speaker 1: First of all, I'd like to attend your remote broadcast
Speaker 1: whenever I can.
Speaker 3: It's a picture of Abraham's.
Speaker 2: Pets and money. You guys have a remote this Friday.
Speaker 4: So Terry Bradshaw.
Speaker 2: Terry Bradshaw's involved in this.
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you Why wouldn't he be Woodlawn? There's a
Speaker 3: football field.
Speaker 2: This is a long letter.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of stuff.
Speaker 2: There's a lot going on here.
Speaker 3: You know what.
Speaker 2: It's important that we have.
Speaker 3: Texas.
Speaker 2: It's important that we have connections with people, right yep.
Speaker 2: Is this where JFK was shot Dealey Plaza?
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, there's a tire bill.
Speaker 12: Yeah okay, I mean once it started going off the rails,
Speaker 12: figured tire.
Speaker 2: Tire bill.
Speaker 4: A good news story, a toddler was rescued out of
Speaker 4: an underground PVC pipe in mound Ridge, Kansas. Congrats to
Speaker 4: the mound Ridge Police Department. They said that This fourteen
Speaker 4: month old boy was understandably shaken after having fallen into
Speaker 4: a sump pump drain pipe while playing outside.
Speaker 2: A PVC pipe.
Speaker 4: Ten to twelve inches across is what they said boy
Speaker 4: fell into the drain According to the Mound Ridge EMS
Speaker 4: director Brian Falco, kids are always a concern, especially small kids,
Speaker 4: because at that age they don't communicate. He's not going
Speaker 4: to follow instructions. It's not like an adult, but ten
Speaker 4: to twelve feet deep. Police specifically commended one of the officers.
Speaker 4: They identified him as Officer Ronnie Wagner. They said that
Speaker 4: he was able to construct a makeshift catch pole using
Speaker 4: a smaller PVC pipe and a rope.
Speaker 2: Hey, you've you've rescued a baby before.
Speaker 1: I mean it wasn't a PVC pipe in the ground,
Speaker 1: but it was a hot car. Do you think if
Speaker 1: you came across this baby in this hole that you
Speaker 1: would be able to fashion something to rescue said baby?
Speaker 10: Feel like?
Speaker 4: Chris Little asked me that question in my job interview here.
Speaker 4: If you ran across a baby now down at the
Speaker 4: bottom of a sump pump, would you be able to His.
Speaker 1: Question was like, what if somebody dropped you into like
Speaker 1: a tank or a blender. Yeah, and how would you
Speaker 1: get out? I mean, how did Chris Little ask us
Speaker 1: that question? In us not call somebody and just a
Speaker 1: rack away from the desk and say, you know what,
Speaker 1: on second thought, there's a red flag here, folks. This
Speaker 1: guy's criminally insane.
Speaker 4: The creative solution, they said from Officer Ronnie Wagner, was
Speaker 4: instrumental in lifting the child safely from the pipe. Police
Speaker 4: thank first responders for their work and rescuing the toddler.
Speaker 4: Police said, we extend our deepest gratitude to all the
Speaker 4: first responders for their swift and effective action and that
Speaker 4: transformed a dangerous situation into a successful rescue. But they
Speaker 4: don't get into specifically, is what do they refer What
Speaker 4: do they mean by a catch pull?
Speaker 3: I mean, I when they said that, it sounds.
Speaker 4: Like they kind of put a loop of the of
Speaker 4: the rope through the smaller PBC pipe, so it had
Speaker 4: a loop at the bottom of it. Yeah, but then
Speaker 4: they could tie it at the top so that it
Speaker 4: doesn't just fall back down the pipe when you grab
Speaker 4: the baby.
Speaker 2: I wonder what this baby's name is. They don't tell you.
Speaker 2: They don't tell us.
Speaker 1: I mean I feel like I'm pretty invested with this
Speaker 1: baby and the pipe.
Speaker 4: And does the baby? Will the baby remember this? Fourteen months?
Speaker 4: I don't know if a baby remembers that.
Speaker 3: No, the baby would not remember that. Babies remember weird stuff.
Speaker 3: Do they do you remember anything?
Speaker 1: I do have one memory that's pretty clear. But here's
Speaker 1: the thing, you know, you never know. Memories are so unreliable.
Speaker 1: But I have a memory of being in a stroller.
Speaker 3: You sound like a prosecutor.
Speaker 2: It's true.
Speaker 1: I covered enough trials to believe in that theory. I
Speaker 1: remember being in a stroller at Meewalk Park, at Mewalk Park, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and my mom getting something out of the car or whatever.
Speaker 2: I lost sight of her and was terror.
Speaker 1: It's the first feeling of terror that I can remember,
Speaker 1: feeling of where did she go?
Speaker 3: You know, well, fear of abandonment.
Speaker 1: It's probably goes back to, you know, being adopted, right right?
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if all babies the mom
Speaker 1: goes out of sight and they have a freaking conneption.
Speaker 1: My dog does that? Yeah, well he was adopted too,
Speaker 1: Yes he was.
