WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839 AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand 3 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:07.240 on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:10.119 Hey Shannon, Hey Gary. I actually have to disagree with 5 00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:14.000 Shannon this time. I feel like he genuinely sounded happy 6 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:15.439 when he was talking about the Dodgers going to the 7 00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:18.280 World Series. Usually when he's reporting the scores or talking 8 00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:21.039 about the Dodgers in general, he sounds pretty miserable. 9 00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:25.960 So props for that. I can acknowledge when it's when 10 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.120 it's okay, it's okay. 11 00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:30.679 Your voice to me, I feel like I know your 12 00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:33.159 emotions through your voice, and. 13 00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:35.439 To me, you hate this. 14 00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.320 You hate any sort of success that the Dodgers have, 15 00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:43.479 And that's okay. That's what it's called being a true fan, 16 00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:47.679 right right, my dad, I say it all the time. 17 00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:52.159 I learned to swear growing up with my father watching 18 00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:55.159 Giants Dodgers games and the things that he would say 19 00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.840 about Tommy Lesorda, I mean, very colorful, very creative. 20 00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:01.280 But that's what being a fan is all about. You 21 00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:03.439 should just own it. You hate the Dodgers in the 22 00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:04.040 World Series. 23 00:01:04.040 --> 00:01:06.840 The fact that is the Dodgers Yankees too to bought 24 00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:08.120 and sold for teams. 25 00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:11.400 But I also acknowledge that I want to I mean, 26 00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:13.680 I want to watch it. I'm sure you do. 27 00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:16.519 You love baseball, but that's wanting to watch it and 28 00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:18.239 hating them is okay. 29 00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:19.480 Both things can be true. 30 00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:24.079 A couple quick things before we get into our pch store. 31 00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:29.680 Her name is Kamala Harris, not she, did you say? 32 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:31.760 You guys have been doing this for the past two 33 00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:35.040 or three weeks. You can't say her name. You hate 34 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.599 her so much. You can say Trump all day long, 35 00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:42.560 even President Trump. Because that you cannot say Kamala Harris. 36 00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:44.319 Stop saying she. 37 00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.280 That to me is one of those examples of people 38 00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:48.680 here what they want to hear. 39 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.640 I don't know if that's true, but I'll be cognizant 40 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.120 of it. I haven't noticed us doing that. I feel 41 00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:56.840 like I say Kamala all the time. I don't say 42 00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.040 Kamala Harris, and I did notice that I don't ever 43 00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:01.879 say Kamala Harris. But I also don't say Donald Trump. 44 00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:03.920 I call him Trump, and I call her a Kamala. 45 00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:04.760 And I think that. 46 00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:08.000 That's like an advantage for Kamala Harris that people refer 47 00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:09.479 to her in her first name only. 48 00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:14.240 Is that a Hillary hangover. I mean that in a 49 00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:17.120 serious question, like just we're using the first name for 50 00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:20.800 the women and we're not using I didn't. 51 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:22.680 Do that with Nicki Haley. We called her Nicki Haley. 52 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:24.000 That's true. 53 00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:26.199 I mean, I think it's pretty damn cool if you 54 00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:28.919 can go by one name, look at Cher, look at Madonna. 55 00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.360 Well that's intentional that they go by one name. 56 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:35.840 Yeah, but when your first name Carrie, you know exactly 57 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:37.919 who you're talking about, that's pretty good. 58 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:44.319 We last week saw the memorial for the four Pepperdine 59 00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:48.439 students who were killed on PCH. Sixty one people have 60 00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:52.560 been killed along that stretch of highway in recent years. 61 00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:57.280 The tragic deaths of Nima Ralston, Peyton Stewart, Asha Weir, 62 00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:01.039 and Deslin Williams brought the number of fatal to sixty 63 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:06.159 one in just the last fifteen years, and there is 64 00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:10.919 a push to try to do something to increase the 65 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:13.319 safety along PCH. As a result of that. 66 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:18.680 So CHP officers were added to enforcement efforts off le Vague, 67 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:24.520 The governor approved speed cameras, Caltrans expedited road improvements, a 68 00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.479 city launched a public safety campaign, But people say that 69 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:31.840 is not enough. Damien Kevitt is a member of the 70 00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:35.240 Local Coalition Fixed pch founder of the nonprofit Streets Are 71 00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:35.840 for Everyone. 72 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:37.719 He said, dead Man's Curve. 73 00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:40.439 There where those four students were run down, is the 74 00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:45.319 area where it's most dense. It's the highest number of pedestrian, cyclist, people, tourists, 75 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:48.039 and there's a high degree of homes commercial area where 76 00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:51.120 there shouldn't be a speed limit of forty five miles 77 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:51.599 an hour. 78 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:52.639 Slow it down. 79 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:57.759 According to the report from the Malibu Lost Hills Station 80 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:02.039 for the La County Sheriff's Department, law enforcement issued twice 81 00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:05.080 as many speeding tickets this year as they did last 82 00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:09.000 year at this point, but it only made a difference 83 00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.520 in one crash. There was only one fewer crash at 84 00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.280 the halfway point of twenty four compared to twenty twenty three. 85 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:21.480 Most of those crashes, of course, speed related, so there's 86 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:26.199 a short term win. Governor Gavenusom did sign Senate Bill 87 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.839 twelve ninety seven into law puts Malibu in a pilot 88 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.319 program that would allow them to install up to five 89 00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:37.920 automated cameras to detect and find speeding drivers. So are 90 00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:38.240 you sing? 91 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:39.360 The national anthem is on. 92 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:42.920 Is this a practice or is it on tape? 93 00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.720 It's a practice, and every time they do it. 94 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.480 They practice it about nine hundred times before the game, 95 00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:51.120 all day, and I stand up each and every time. 96 00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:57.920 I'm standing too. Do you know who it is that's singing? 97 00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:01.800 It's a one two three. 98 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:06.000 Well, there's like six students up on this stage, but 99 00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:09.480 there's just the one girl singing. They look young. A 100 00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:12.560 couple sections are actually filled with what appeared to be 101 00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.120 high school students. I don't know who these people are. 102 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.519 I don't know what the purpose is. Oh, it's the 103 00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:22.959 Arizona Department of Education. It's like this is like a 104 00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:24.160 union boondoggle. 105 00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:26.720 Take the day off, Let's let her finish strong. 106 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:39.600 Oh right, we don't really need to do this. It's 107 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:41.879 gonna happen like sixteen times during the show. 108 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:46.319 Well, maybe we do it every time. I should have 109 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:47.199 laughed that loud. 110 00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:57.519 Here you go, all right, as soon as my family 111 00:05:57.560 --> 00:05:57.839 here's this. 112 00:05:57.959 --> 00:05:59.720 Don't know exactly who I am. 113 00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:08.240 Arnold Palmer, honored Palmer, that's right, Arnold Palmer. 114 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:10.839 What you say close, Honold Palmer. 115 00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.839 It's awful, it's together. Yeah, you know you have to eat, Yes, 116 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.639 you have to pause, you have to pause, it's awful. Okay. 117 00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:21.360 So there's all these narratives out there, right. 118 00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.160 Yahoo Finance did an article about millennials and how they're 119 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:26.639 doing financially. If you listen to all the narratives, you 120 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:30.240 think that these people are struggling with student debt, the 121 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:34.959 wages aren't high enough, inflation, high expenses, you can't afford 122 00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:35.680 to live anywhere. 123 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:38.000 However, millennials, people. 124 00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:41.279 Born between nineteen eighty one and ninety six, they say now, 125 00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.759 are on average wealthier than their parents were at the 126 00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:47.360 same age. And to me, the reason is glaring. It 127 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.839 is obvious, and it is the fact that they're not 128 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:54.680 having children. Our parents had kids in their twenties, like 129 00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:56.839 you know what I mean. Like back then, you know, 130 00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:01.040 Millennials' parents were making babies in their in their earning years, 131 00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:04.800 things were very thin. And millennials are waiting till they're 132 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:07.560 late thirties to have kids, and so they're making more 133 00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:10.839 money quicker because they don't have that expense and that 134 00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:13.319 burden's and that joy, that's the joy. 135 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:16.120 Don't forget the joy. That is definitely part of it. 136 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.360 Although I don't think of my life now, granted, if 137 00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:21.279 I look back at the twenty five years that I've 138 00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:25.759 been a parent. I know I've spent money on them, 139 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:29.040 but I don't And part of why, or part of 140 00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:32.839 why I don't accept that entirely, is because I'm blind 141 00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:35.439 to it. I don't understand how much money I have 142 00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:37.720 spent on my own kids. And I'll acknowledge that. 143 00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:41.560 But there's ay, it's also childcare. 144 00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:44.839 You know, you had a household where your wife was 145 00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:49.279 able to stay home, right, childcare is a huge expense. 146 00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:51.319 I mean from my friends that have kids, I mean 147 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:53.959 it's insane. Yeah, thousands and thousands of dollars a year. 148 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:56.560 Yeah, And that's what I mean is I don't know. 149 00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:59.600 I would not be able to separate out what I 150 00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:03.519 paid for twenty five years of kids, Like I just 151 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:05.439 it's hard for me to wrap my head around or 152 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.240 even begin to figure out how I would buy How 153 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:11.199 I would you know, do the book keeping on that 154 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:13.680 to figure out how much I spent on kids, you know, 155 00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.600 Christmas gifts and that sort of stuff. That would be easier, 156 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:17.199 but not. 157 00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:21.199 Just what you spent on kids. It's did your job? 158 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:23.879 Can you grow your career when you have kids? A 159 00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:25.079 lot of the answer is no. 160 00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:27.439 There did I buy a two bedroom house or a 161 00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:30.040 one bedroom you know, apartment or something like that. I mean, 162 00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:32.200 all of that stuff goes into it, so it's hard 163 00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:35.639 to pull it apart. But they also said an analysis 164 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:38.759 from the Saint Louis fed early this year, millennials and 165 00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:41.720 older members of gen Z have about twenty five percent 166 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:45.840 more wealth than previous generations did at the same age. 167 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.879 So for older millennials, for example, born in the eighties, 168 00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:53.000 the median household net worth rose to one hundred and 169 00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:56.679 thirty thousand in twenty twenty two. The median wealth more 170 00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:00.399 than quadrupled to forty one thousand for those that were 171 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:04.080 born in the nineties. And they talk about stocks, mutual 172 00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:06.080 funds have all played a big role in all of this, 173 00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:10.639 but also employees made larger contributions to the retirement accounts 174 00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:13.360 earlier in their careers. And when you figure that part 175 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:17.399 of it out, four oh one k's specifically that type 176 00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:26.600 of government approved tax deferred, but employee benefited or employee 177 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:31.039 paid for those weren't even legalized again I think until 178 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:33.720 the late seventies. So that would make sense that you 179 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:36.360 and I grew up in a time when everyone was 180 00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:39.039 expected to have a four oh one k everybody. When 181 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.519 you go in and apply for a job, one of 182 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:43.559 the perks that they're going to offer you is a 183 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:44.360 four to oh one K. 184 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:49.320 Well, they say, still millennials feel uneasy that they're calling 185 00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:52.799 it phantom wealth. The concept of phantom wealth. There's a 186 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:57.679 psychological disconnect between having wealth on paper and feeling financially secure, 187 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.440 like real estate retirement account. They don't really see them, 188 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:04.360 it doesn't really feel real. They're not easily assessed or 189 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:07.600 spent in the short term. So that's why millennials feel uneasy. 190 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.639 I say, no, it's because they're anxious. It's because they're 191 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:15.039 not having kids and they have no concern other than themselves, 192 00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:17.320 and that's why they feel uneasy. 193 00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:20.000 That's like, I like that theory. Yeah. 194 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.480 I mean it's true when you have something to take 195 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:25.960 care of, you forget about yourself pretty quickly, and any 196 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:29.840 sort of anxiety or uncomfortability you may be feeling, you 197 00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:32.440 have to take care of something else. And if you're 198 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:34.600 not having those kids and you're just in the world 199 00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:37.000 of yourself, in your own head, and you're making money, 200 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.480 but you're still uneasy and there's people around you screaming, 201 00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:40.440 is it anxiety? 202 00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:42.399 That's what the effect is going to. 203 00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:44.480 Be well, and to combine kind of both of those 204 00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.919 points they go The Wall Street Journal goes so far 205 00:10:47.960 --> 00:10:50.879 as to say, it's not clear if millennials are are 206 00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:53.399 better off. I mean, yes, they may have more money, 207 00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:58.919 more wealth, even phantom wealth, but that the cost of living, healthcare, childcare, 208 00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:01.120 like you mentioned, all of that stuff is higher now 209 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.879 than it was even thirty years ago, So all possibility. 210 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.279 I mean, I spent like six minutes figuring out what 211 00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:10.559 lipstick color I was going to wear today if I 212 00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:12.080 had a kid. Do you think I'd spend that kind 213 00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:13.519 of time you spraying about it? 214 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:20.039 Six minutes and that's the color you chose. Now, nobody 215 00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:22.279 gets that joke. Only you do, because I can't even 216 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:26.559 see you, I know. The lawsuit against Didty, this one 217 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:28.879 was the one that was filed by a music producer, 218 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:32.200 Rodney Jones. In the lawsuit, it says that it was 219 00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:35.399 required all employees, from the butler, the chef to the 220 00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:38.279 housekeepers walk around with a pouch or a fanny pack 221 00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:44.000 filled with cocaine, GHB, ecstasy, marijuana, gummies and tucci. 222 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.360 This pink lock all these people up. 223 00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:48.639 Yeah, I know, you have to have a job and 224 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:51.440 put food on the table. But there are options other 225 00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:54.159 than walking around with fanny packs full of date rape 226 00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.080 drugs for men to rape people that have been trafficked 227 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.279 into a ditty mansion. There are so many people, This 228 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.120 network was so vast around him, so many people looking 229 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:08.080 the other way for the almighty dollar. 230 00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:11.960 It's weird. It's weird that we continue to see so 231 00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:16.000 many people caught up in all of this without having 232 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:21.159 ever done anything we told you about. Obviously, November fifth 233 00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:26.679 is upcoming election day, fifteen days away. As of last Monday, 234 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:32.039 candidate for La County DA, Nathan Hofkman, has raised more 235 00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:37.279 than ten million dollars in campaign donations. George Gascone ten 236 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.399 percent of that. He has just over one million, compared 237 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:43.720 to four years ago at this time when he was 238 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.240 well over ten I think he's over twelve million at 239 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:52.720 this time. Everybody. The whatever support system George Gascone had 240 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:56.159 four years ago has absolutely crumbled under his feet. 241 00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:01.080 We told you Friday during the Nuggets out the complete 242 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:07.759 power outage outage of the entire island nation of Cuba. Well, 243 00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:12.919 now you can mix in a hurricane Oscar Category one 244 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:16.679 hurricane made landfall in eastern Cuba last night amid a 245 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:17.559 power blackout. 246 00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:22.879 Boy, this is looking bad. The electrical grid collapse for 247 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:27.000 the fourth time in forty eight hours. The government in 248 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:29.639 Cuba has been trying to restore power to these residents 249 00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:34.559 who have already suffered from food shortages, medicine shortages, fuel shortages. 250 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:39.000 Whatever they're doing there in Cuba, communism is not working. Apparently, 251 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.240 they canceled school. I read today that they canceled another day. 252 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.159 So the school has been canceled through Thursday, which is 253 00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:49.360 a pretty rare move in Cuba, apparently because of the hurricane, 254 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:52.120 because of the ongoing energy crisis, and they've said that 255 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.399 only essential government workers should show up to work today. 256 00:13:57.080 --> 00:14:01.320 The I don't even know where you begin. The power 257 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:06.440 crisis has existed in Cuba for a long time and 258 00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:10.159 now they're still trying to get the lights back on. 259 00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:12.919 They did restore power, they said, to about a fifth 260 00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.320 of the ten million people, but the national grid collapse 261 00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:19.080 twice in twenty four hours. Then the hurricane comes on, 262 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:23.720 it collapses two more times. Friday afternoon, the largest power 263 00:14:23.759 --> 00:14:27.320 plant in Cuba on Cuba in Cuba shut down and 264 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:30.240 the grid collapsed once again. On Saturday morning. They say 265 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:34.039 they are making progress and restoring power, but every time 266 00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:37.399 they get two steps forward, they take three steps back. 267 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:42.080 Will you mix in major flash flooding, mud slides, rock slides, 268 00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:45.919 there there is an inability to respond to those with 269 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:49.840 no power, obviously. I mean that's a humanitarian crisis. 270 00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:50.600 Period. 271 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:53.320 There's one thing to be said about life in the 272 00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:57.759 Caribbean like this, where I guess you could say it's 273 00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:01.440 thankful that it's not a cold weather a cold weather 274 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:03.919 area where they're not having power. I mean, if you 275 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.200 remember the in Texas when the power went out in 276 00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:09.919 that February cold snap that they had and people were 277 00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:14.360 literally freezing in their homes. This is very uncomfortable, but 278 00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:17.080 it's not as life threatening. I mean, heat obviously brings 279 00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:19.720 with it its own dangers, but it's less likely that 280 00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:23.519 someone in Cuba's going to die from heat exposure than somebody, 281 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:26.919 weirdly in Texas was going to die from cold. But 282 00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:30.159 it is not getting easier. There are a couple stories 283 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:34.320 anecdotes from people about having to line up to buy 284 00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:39.039 bread from bakeries that are cooking baking their bread the 285 00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:42.080 old fashioned way, as opposed to gas ovens or even 286 00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:44.639 electric ovens. They're using just the old wood fire and 287 00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:48.519 cold fired stoves that they've got. The failure of that 288 00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:51.679 plant was just the latest of a series of problems 289 00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:56.320 with energy distribution where it's already been. They already restrict 290 00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.240 when you can get electricity. They rotate, you know, four 291 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:02.840 hours on here and then turn it off and turn 292 00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:05.600 it on for four hours in another part of the island. Invite, 293 00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:07.000 you know, just and on and on. 294 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:11.080 I have an update from the stadium. That was a 295 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:16.080 real national anthem, because that was an event for local 296 00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:19.000 area schools. The Department of Education put it on. It 297 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:20.919 was kind of like a kind. 298 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:22.720 Of a pep talk. 299 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:25.080 About going through high school and things like that, and 300 00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.679 so it was kind of like an assembly in the stadium, 301 00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:31.840 and so that was there. That was not a rehearsal 302 00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:35.919 of the national anthem. That was a real assembly national anthem. 303 00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:38.000 So I'm glad that we all paid it the respect 304 00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:40.080 that it's show. It's so deserved. 305 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:43.159 Most of the respect it deserved most. I mean we 306 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:44.679 were standing, but I. 307 00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:46.799 We were kind of you have your hand on your heart? 308 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:51.399 No, is that a requirement? 309 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:52.519 I think? 310 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:54.600 So? I mean I'll take if I was wearing a hat, 311 00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:56.279 I would take my hat off and I would hold it. 312 00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:58.960 But I I don't know if it's a requirement for 313 00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:00.600 me to put my hand over my head heart during 314 00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:01.919 the nationally. 315 00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:03.559 I love the country of America. 316 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:06.640 No, no, I'm not saying it is is tradition, But I 317 00:17:06.640 --> 00:17:07.319 don't know if. 318 00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:09.000 If you want to go live in Canada, go live 319 00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:09.400 in Canada. 320 00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:11.839 If I'm saying the pledge of allegiance, yes, I put 321 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:14.880 my hand over my heart and say the Pledge of allegiance. 322 00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:17.440 But I don't know at least there. Hey, you have 323 00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:20.160 all of the streaming services, right, I mean, for the 324 00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:21.000 most part. 325 00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:22.359 I'm embarrassed to say probably. 326 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:24.920 Yes, You've got the Netflixes and the Amazons and things 327 00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:28.279 like that. Here's a new I would argue, a lower 328 00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:30.799 tiered streaming service you might want to sign up for 329 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:34.559 next week, next month. Sorry. Chick fil A is planning 330 00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:38.799 to launch a new app with animated shows, podcast games, 331 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:40.359 recipes and ebooks. 332 00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:42.119 Will it be about God? 333 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:44.039 No, It'll be about Chicken. 334 00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:47.400 I'm pretty sure God's going to be weaved in there. 335 00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:52.319 Last year. Last year, Chick fil A held the spot 336 00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:56.359 of the third biggest US restaurant chain by sales. The 337 00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.000 only two restaurant chains bigger than Chick fil A money wise, 338 00:18:00.759 --> 00:18:04.880 Starbucks and McDonald's, despite the fact that they don't have 339 00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:08.759 I don't know, sixty percent of the location fifty percent 340 00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:12.599 of the locations that Starbucks and McDonald's have. So they've 341 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.039 been selling all kinds of branded merchandise. They have a 342 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:17.440 sleeping bag now that you can buy that resembles their 343 00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:20.839 sandwich packaging. They created a spin off brand. 344 00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:23.359 But it's going to be a lot of family friendly 345 00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:26.839 Christian programming. I'm reading on the Christianpost dot com. 346 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.799 Yeah, you can sign up for it. 347 00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:32.759 Not really my thing. 348 00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:36.279 Okay, just don't say no right away. 349 00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:39.759 And the other thing is, if you're watching Chick fil 350 00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:42.240 A streaming, what are you thinking about the entire time? 351 00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:46.519 Well, now that's the point of it. That's what everything's 352 00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:48.119 going to be brought to you by Chick fil A 353 00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:50.920 Sauce or something like that. Oh my goodness, all right, 354 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:54.079 CBS finally listened to the show. They finally admitted that 355 00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:59.119 they edited the Kamala Harris interview, but then didn't release 356 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:04.400 the transcript. How does this statement make any sense unless 357 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:05.880 you release a transcript. 358 00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:09.160 Good morning Gary, Good morning Shannon. Ay, this is Frank again, 359 00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:12.960 you're bad ass truck driver. Hey, I'm so tired right 360 00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:15.160 here about them Dodgers me being a Mets fan. Yeah, 361 00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:17.359 it's okay. You don't want to know why. You guess 362 00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:20.279 my backup keeen is the Yankees, So let's go Yankees. 363 00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:22.960 That's right, And Shannon, sorry about them. Forty nine and 364 00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:25.880 I've lost up there in San Francisco by hey a, 365 00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:28.319 you know, better luck next week. 366 00:19:28.839 --> 00:19:30.880 Yeah, they're not gonna have better luck next week. That 367 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.960 is a broken team. I mean, in more ways than one. 368 00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:36.960 The aura that the forty nine ers had. And this 369 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:40.880 is why it makes such a big This is why 370 00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:43.880 when you get to the super Bowl, when you get that, 371 00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:45.759 it's hard to reach the super Bowl. 372 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:46.759 It's impossible. 373 00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:49.400 When you get there, you have to capitalize, especially if 374 00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:52.279 you're there twice within five years. You gotta get it 375 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.480 done when you reach that pinnacle because it is hard 376 00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:58.519 to keep a team intact. And forty nine ers are injured, 377 00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:01.640 they're broken, the spirits broken. Jerry Rice said, if that 378 00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:03.799 was back when I played, we would have been taking 379 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:07.559 shots at each other on the sideline. The chemistry is off. 380 00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:12.920 The Chiefs are the ugliest undefeated team. I've ever seen. 381 00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:16.240 And I'm not saying that because I'm sore over losing 382 00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:18.480 to them in the Super Bowl and the Chargers losing 383 00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:22.400 to them so often. It's because they are not fun 384 00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:26.519 to watch. They are sloppy, they're slow, they're struggling, and 385 00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:29.839 they're still undefeated. The best team in football and that's 386 00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:32.519 what you got. Come on, I mean, Vikings are much 387 00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:34.920 more fun to watch. The Ravings are much more fun 388 00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:39.839 to watch. Sorry, what were we talking about? 389 00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:41.039 Lost time? 390 00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:42.599 It's going to go. 391 00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:46.440 You're like and then the NFC. 392 00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:49.759 North Hey Gary Shannon Beck. 393 00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:53.119 In the late eighties early nineties, when I was still 394 00:20:53.720 --> 00:21:00.839 using cocaine, not very often, but every time we got 395 00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:05.240 a shipment of cocaine that had a pink. 396 00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:08.880 Or yellow hue to it is heroin. 397 00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:11.960 That was the extra good stuff. 398 00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:15.400 Ah really No, that meant that you're cocaine had heroin 399 00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:15.720 in it. 400 00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:19.319 Well that's the possibility, right, maybe that's what made it 401 00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:19.960
