Speaker 1: thank you, Yeah, that's what No, I just it.
Speaker 2: Have you smoked cigarettes? It's fine.
Speaker 3: Probably not heard that you say that, though, because I
Speaker 3: did have a dream that I smoked cigarettes this weekend, y.
Speaker 1: Which is odd because maybe you've got a little bit
Speaker 1: of a scratchy throat or I don't know something's going
Speaker 1: on there.
Speaker 2: Okay, did you use your voice a lot? Did your
Speaker 2: wife let you talk?
Speaker 4: Or no? Uh?

Speaker 1: I can't be a lot with us.
Speaker 3: After Friday, we really I didn't really say much on
Speaker 3: the drive home from from Bravery on Friday.
Speaker 2: I said nothing.
Speaker 5: I had Well, if you were.
Speaker 3: There by yourself, so you have I mean Lis, I
Speaker 3: my wife so she could fill the conversation.
Speaker 1: Space and I had a solid two hour drive home
Speaker 1: of silence.
Speaker 2: So that was lovely. It was such a beautiful drive.
Speaker 1: It always is a thank you to everyone who came
Speaker 1: out and for Bravery Brewing, for hosting us yet again,
Speaker 1: always a great time. I mean, it's just gorgeous. It's
Speaker 1: the perfect kick off to summer because it feels like summer.
Speaker 1: That weather up there was, Yeah, it was pretty great.
Speaker 2: Are you ready to feel old?
Speaker 1: Bring it before we talk about domestic violence on the
Speaker 1: world stage?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 2: Can I get a little bit of America music?
Speaker 5: Of course?
Speaker 2: All right? Do you remember as a youth? You were
Speaker 2: an older youth than I.
Speaker 1: Was, but I remembered a great time in American history
Speaker 1: when we were the top of the top. And as
Speaker 1: a woman, it meant a little bit more to a
Speaker 1: young me seeing Mary.
Speaker 2: Lou rettin Ah, seeing.
Speaker 1: That balance beam routine, seeing that awful haircut that we
Speaker 1: all had, and knowing that America was number one.
Speaker 2: And this little girl who was not a little girl
Speaker 2: to me at the.
Speaker 1: Time but was an idol, was leading that charge. And
Speaker 1: she was strong and she was brave, and she was
Speaker 1: mighty though little.
Speaker 2: And it was Mary lou.
Speaker 1: Retton, and she was on the cover of our cereal boxes,
Speaker 1: and she had those gold medals.
Speaker 2: And Bella Coroli. Before we knew that he was a monster.
Speaker 5: He was so proud.
Speaker 2: He was such a proud second father.
Speaker 1: I don't know if she had a first father, but
Speaker 1: there he was in his tracksuit and we were all
Speaker 1: rejoicing as Americans.
Speaker 2: And now now we're so old that.
Speaker 1: Mary lou Retton can't talk her ass out of a DUI.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you pull over Mary lourett You don't let her go.
Speaker 5: Chances are or whoever pulled her over didn't know who she.
Speaker 2: Was exactly my points.
Speaker 1: She's like, I'm Mary Louretton, and the cop who's like
Speaker 1: twenty seven is like, I don't marry lou what?
Speaker 5: And I'm Officer Bergstrom? What's your point?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Lady?
Speaker 3: In Marion County, West Virginia, May seventeenth, Dy, my god,
Speaker 3: where have we.
Speaker 2: Gone as a country? Didn't she was close to she
Speaker 2: had some health problems.
Speaker 5: You had pneumonia?
Speaker 2: I think she had some Do you think she had
Speaker 2: a GoFundMe? Page? Things have not been great. Remember her
Speaker 2: family had said that she was near the end, and.
Speaker 4: They started a whole GoFundMe or mills and stuff that
Speaker 4: was very strange.
Speaker 2: That was story. I never found out what was wrong.
Speaker 6: Yeah she recovered, that's good.
Speaker 3: Well did she well, I mean from the sickness, right, yeah,
Speaker 3: I was, but then got right back into the bottle.
Speaker 3: America fifty seven. Mary Leuretten is fifty seven years old.
Speaker 5: This video that has.
Speaker 3: Made its way around the world over the last twenty
Speaker 3: four hours is I fully believe it is one of
Speaker 3: the funniest things I've ever seen.
Speaker 5: And I believe that.
Speaker 1: And it's because I don't want to say they're just
Speaker 1: like us, because I've never struck my husband in the
Speaker 1: face purposefully. I may have done it when I'm sleeping.
Speaker 1: I know I've done it when I've slept, but a
Speaker 1: couple of times he's like, you really hit the hell
Speaker 1: out of me. But not everybody has any sort of
Speaker 1: domestic violence, even playfully, if that's what it was.
Speaker 2: Not everybody has that.
Speaker 1: But it's nice to see a real moment, albeit violent,
Speaker 1: from a world leader and his wife, and just the
Speaker 1: whole backstory of them, of her being his teacher and
Speaker 1: having like twenty something years on him, twenty four years,
Speaker 1: twenty four years on him, and just like slapping him
Speaker 1: like a little boy. Like, I loved all of it.
Speaker 1: The fact that she is so thin. That must be cigarettes, right,
Speaker 1: what is Yeah, that's legs are literal little match sticks.
Speaker 1: But anyway, just the whole pageantry of the French Force
Speaker 1: one or whatever it is they travel on, and the
Speaker 1: red jacket in the you know, striking him in the
Speaker 1: face and him looking like the little schoolboy that he was, like.
Speaker 2: The whole thing to me, I just want to eat
Speaker 2: it all up.
Speaker 3: So French President of Manuel Macrone and his wife had
Speaker 3: just touched down in the northern Vietnamese city of Hanoi
Speaker 3: for an official visit. This was late Sunday night, the
Speaker 3: local time, and you see the door open. I don't
Speaker 3: know if it's a seven forty seven, but it's a
Speaker 3: big airplane. So the big door opens and you see
Speaker 3: the French president there kind of getting ready to walk
Speaker 3: out of the airplane. What you then see is a
Speaker 3: person who's kind of blocked by a doorway or whatever,
Speaker 3: dressed in red with red sleeves, and then whacking the
Speaker 3: French president in the face. Now did she push him,
Speaker 3: did she smack him? Did she hit him? It does it,
Speaker 3: but he's kind of taken aback by it. As you
Speaker 3: would be, and then realizes the door's open, and all
Speaker 3: of the TV cameras.
Speaker 5: Saw all of it.
Speaker 3: Right now, Hey, he told reporters, we are bickering and
Speaker 3: joking with my wife and a video becomes a sort
Speaker 3: of geoplanetary catastrophe. In the world we live in, we
Speaker 3: don't have a lot of time to lose on discussing
Speaker 3: such topics.
Speaker 1: She kind of takes both hands, fingers out stretched, and
Speaker 1: she's a tiny little woman, and she kind of just
Speaker 1: shoves him in the mouth.
Speaker 2: To the point where he goes back a little bit.
Speaker 2: You know, everything's different in France.
Speaker 1: They smoke cigarettes, they do everything with more passion. They
Speaker 1: have the affairs, they it's a very French different world
Speaker 1: over there.
Speaker 2: Maybe you can smack your husband in the face like that.
Speaker 3: And it's no big thing, But you can also cheat
Speaker 3: on your wife. So why wouldn't that Why wouldn't there
Speaker 3: be a little bit of payback? Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 3: if he did.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's cheating on her. I think we
Speaker 1: all know that now that that would not go well.
Speaker 3: That was a fun, big deal. There is more serious
Speaker 3: stuff that's going on. President Trump says that he is
Speaker 3: not happy with Vladimir pup?
Speaker 2: What did he think was going to happen?
Speaker 1: That he and Putin would be friends and then they
Speaker 1: would just be in line with all their thinking. Putin
Speaker 1: is a grown man, and just as Trump is a
Speaker 1: grown man. You are set in your ways. When you
Speaker 1: become a certain age, especially even more so for a
Speaker 1: man who is aging, you become more set in your.
Speaker 2: Ways more so.
Speaker 1: And the idea that Vladimir Putin would capitulate to anything
Speaker 1: Trump would say or want is absurd. And Trump should
Speaker 1: know that first and foremost, because he's exactly the same way.
Speaker 3: They're very similar people. Granted one of them is a
Speaker 3: war criminal and the other is not. But I don't
Speaker 3: understand the ego portion of what he's been doing with this.
Speaker 2: Well, it's you, nail it. It's all ego.
Speaker 1: It's thinking that somebody was your friend and is going
Speaker 1: to do what you want, and that's not dropping.
Speaker 3: That as like I thought we were friends and thinking
Speaker 3: that that's going to make an impact.
Speaker 2: This goes back to girls in high school.
Speaker 5: All right, more on this Ukraine Russia stuff when we
Speaker 5: come back.
Speaker 7: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 7: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: Some stories that we are following today. National Public Radio
Speaker 3: sued President Trump today over the executive order that would
Speaker 3: have ceased all federal funding for NPR. The May first Order,
Speaker 3: they say, violates the First Amendments protections of speech and
Speaker 3: the Press, and steps on the authority of Congress. There
Speaker 3: was a car that ran through a crowd of Liverpool
Speaker 3: soccer fans, left nearly fifty people injured. They said that
Speaker 3: that may have gotten onto the Liverpool street by tailgating
Speaker 3: an ambulance. People was the last latest number, including four kids, injured,
Speaker 3: after the car appeared to speed through the crowd of
Speaker 3: hundreds of people on Water Street as they were celebrating Liverpool.
Speaker 3: And then Lelo and Stitch and Mission Impossible Final reckoning
Speaker 3: record setting for a Memorial Day weekend. Lelo and Stitch,
Speaker 3: they said, brought in one hundred and eighty three million
Speaker 3: dollars in its opening weekend.
Speaker 1: We've got a new testimony in the Diddy trial that
Speaker 1: provides more dirty details of this entire realm of crazy
Speaker 1: that existed with Diddy and the circle that in the
Speaker 1: concentric circles that surrounded him, his relationships, how he treated
Speaker 1: a people that he was with that he employed all
Speaker 1: of the things. More dirty details come up. We will
Speaker 1: get into it coming up. After the news at the
Speaker 1: bottom of the.
Speaker 3: Hour, Ukraine's western allies, including the UK and the US,
Speaker 3: have agreed to lift all remaining range restrictions on the
Speaker 3: use of their weapons. President Trump issued his strongest criticism
Speaker 3: of Vladimir Putin yet. The move was announced after President
Speaker 3: Trump posted on truth social that Putin has gone crazy
Speaker 3: and that he is still needlessly killing a lot of people.
Speaker 3: He was asked about this jumping off of Air Force one.
Speaker 8: I'm not happy with what Putin's doing. He's killing a
Speaker 8: lot of people, and I don't know what the hell
Speaker 8: happened to Putin. I've known him a long time, always
Speaker 8: gotten along with him. But he's sending rockets into cities
Speaker 8: and killing people, and I don't like him at all. Okay,
Speaker 8: we're in the middle of talking and he's shooting rockets
Speaker 8: and to Kiev and other cities.
Speaker 2: I don't like it at all, not even a little bit,
Speaker 2: he said.
Speaker 1: But Putin's gonna say whatever he wants to say to
Speaker 1: get what he wants.
Speaker 3: He's he is a manipulator, is what I don't get about.
Speaker 3: Trump In this situation is he knows how to play
Speaker 3: that game. Trump knows how to play the game of
Speaker 3: say whatever you have to say to get whatever you
Speaker 3: need to exactly.
Speaker 1: And why he wouldn't see that in Putin is insane
Speaker 1: to me. If somebody's supposed to know Putin's game or
Speaker 1: should know Putin's game, it's Donald Trump. He plays the
Speaker 1: same one. So this is now this, this is not good.
Speaker 1: If these two and and and now Trump's taking this personally,
Speaker 1: and uh, if these two are starting to take things personally,
Speaker 1: that's World War three stuff, right, That's that's things getting
Speaker 1: ugly real quick it. And and imagine this, Zolenski gets
Speaker 1: axed because Putin's gun in vers Lensky.
Speaker 2: Zelenski gets axed.
Speaker 3: Literally, Yeah, he assassinated, Yeah, as opposed to just cut
Speaker 3: out of the negotiator, right.
Speaker 2: And then that holds Trump's feet to the fire.
Speaker 1: I mean, Trump's no fan of Zelenski, but it's a
Speaker 1: showing of power from Putin to wipe out the head
Speaker 1: of the country he wants to reduce to rubble and
Speaker 1: then rule over it.
Speaker 5: General Keith Kellogg.
Speaker 3: Stop and then you ventially go to somewhere where you
Speaker 3: get all through major leaders of all the parties.
Speaker 4: You get the president.
Speaker 5: President putin presidents.
Speaker 2: Let's get together and hammer this thing.
Speaker 3: Out and come to sometimes of signed document that ends
Speaker 3: this war. At General Keith Kellogg, there is a special
Speaker 3: envoy for Ukraine. It really doesn't divulge a lot of
Speaker 3: secrets there in terms of what is coming up next.
Speaker 3: The Kremlin, in response to Trump's truth social posts, said
Speaker 3: that these were just emotional reactions and that this is
Speaker 3: a very critical moment which is fraught with emotional stress
Speaker 3: for everyone.
Speaker 1: Ooh, I think we all know when someone's upset in
Speaker 1: a relationship not to call that person emotional. We've all
Speaker 1: learned that lesson, have we not. It never goes anywhere,
Speaker 1: It only goes to bad land.
Speaker 3: It's one of those It's one of those lessons we
Speaker 3: may have to relearn over and over again. I again
Speaker 3: this to me. To me, this sounds weak stream on
Speaker 3: Trump's part to say that you don't like it, or
Speaker 3: I thought we were friends or all of that. That
Speaker 3: sounds very weak stream to me. And it reminded me
Speaker 3: of that and this whole Yeah, but don't do anything.
Speaker 3: What's the alternative? The alternative is immediately telling Vladimir Putin,
Speaker 3: get him on the horn.
Speaker 5: You can do that.
Speaker 3: You immediately tell him whatever you thought sanctions were doing
Speaker 3: to your economy now ten times worse, one hundred times worse.
Speaker 3: Everybody in Europe wants to do the same thing, and
Speaker 3: they're waiting for our leadership on this. And instead of
Speaker 3: just saying I thought we were friends, or I don't
Speaker 3: know what's going to happen, or he's I don't like
Speaker 3: it at all, that is all weak and I'm surprised
Speaker 3: that that's the reaction that Trump has given. I'm surprised
Speaker 3: he hasn't come back and said very forcefully.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of money to be made there and
Speaker 1: Trump's not going to be in the White House forever.
Speaker 3: You mean as Russia as a market for Trump post presidency.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of money to be made with an
Speaker 1: intact relationship with Vladimir Putin and Russia.
Speaker 3: I just feel, well, I don't know if that's I
Speaker 3: don't know if that's enough for me.
Speaker 2: It's not enough for you. It shouldn't be enough for you,
Speaker 2: But it's the way things.
Speaker 5: Are, so we don't know if there are any talks.
Speaker 3: There was a report actually out of out of the
Speaker 3: Kremlin this morning that suggested that there had been some
Speaker 3: communication because the United States and Russia had allegedly agreed
Speaker 3: to another prisoner swap. There were a few hundred prisoners
Speaker 3: that were swapped last week, and everybody kind of took
Speaker 3: that as a baby step towards some sort of a
Speaker 3: ceasefire and potential peace agreement. But not clear if that's
Speaker 3: an actual if that's truth coming out of the Kremlin.
Speaker 1: All right, Coming up next, we'll get into the latest details.
Speaker 1: Somebody by the name of Capricorn Clark is on the
Speaker 1: stand at the Diddy trial. This is a female former
Speaker 1: Diddy employee who is talking about details about when did
Speaker 1: he discovered that Cassie the girlfriend who is the star
Speaker 1: witness who has laid out all of the freak offs
Speaker 1: and the beatings and the druggings and all of it.
Speaker 1: Turns out she was in a relationship with kid Coody
Speaker 1: Cutty Cutty, old old Old. I Love I love the music,
Speaker 1: don't know the name.
Speaker 7: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 7: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: I started watching this show.
Speaker 1: It's a I want to say it's a dateline documentary
Speaker 1: type show. Just one episode in I believe it's a series,
Speaker 1: not sure how many parts there are, but it's about
Speaker 1: romance scams online and it just rips your heart out.
Speaker 2: You know, these are older people.
Speaker 1: Some of them are married, but I mean not older
Speaker 1: older people, people in their sixties and seventies, and they're
Speaker 1: lonely for whatever reason.
Speaker 2: And the.
Speaker 1: Scammers are so good in that it's not just those
Speaker 1: emails you would get I'm a prince in Nairobi and
Speaker 1: I need money for gems to give you, like it's
Speaker 1: a legit relationship via text and email and ims and
Speaker 1: all that. And it's it's heartbreaking to see people who
Speaker 1: are coming alive at this point in their life because
Speaker 1: of this interaction.
Speaker 3: Is there how much creativity does it require on the
Speaker 3: scammers part.
Speaker 1: Come up with all those all compliments The majority is
Speaker 1: just bathing them and compliments and attent, just sheer attention.
Speaker 1: You don't have to be creative. I mean, these are
Speaker 1: people that haven't had attention.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 2: It's like one of the women that's featured, you.
Speaker 1: Know, she raised kids, she's married, she raised kids, kids
Speaker 1: are out of the home. She loved having the home
Speaker 1: be the centerpiece where all the kids would come, and
Speaker 1: the kids' friends would come, and they have the house
Speaker 1: everyone would come to.
Speaker 2: And then now it's just like she's still with her husband.
Speaker 1: They're fine, but you know, they eat dinner in front
Speaker 1: of the television. Then he goes and he watches a
Speaker 1: game or whatever, and she's bored, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you've got you know, she's playing words with friends. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're very creative the way they get into it. She
Speaker 1: wasn't looking for anything. She's playing words with friends on Facebook,
Speaker 1: just like she does for years, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it's a new friend that pops up, and then it's
Speaker 1: just normal communication that you would have with anybody else.
Speaker 1: And it's awful to see these people realize that it
Speaker 1: was all just to get money. But these are smart
Speaker 1: women that are featured in this show. They are smart,
Speaker 1: accomplished women. And it just it talks. It just it
Speaker 1: highlights like loneliness and whatever and there it's not it's
Speaker 1: not a rare thing. It's happening a lot everywhere. And
Speaker 1: so we had a story that we found in the
Speaker 1: cut about a woman who says, it was only after
Speaker 1: my father died that I got access to the conversations
Speaker 1: with the creatures who fleeced him. He kept like cataloged
Speaker 1: all the communic hat and loved it, which brings up
Speaker 1: the question if it makes him happy, is it that bad?
Speaker 5: Well, if he's losing money at it.
Speaker 2: But it's his money, I don't know. Anyway, we'll talk
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 3: So. Capricorn Clark is a former employee of Sean Ditty Comb's.
Speaker 3: Capricorn Clark has been on the stand today. They're actually
Speaker 3: in a short recess in the Manhattan Federal Courthouse where
Speaker 3: this is taking place. She Capricorn Clark, said that Diddy
Speaker 3: was armed with a gun and said he wanted to
Speaker 3: kill rapper Kid Cutting after did he discovered the Cuddy
Speaker 3: was in a relationship with Cassie Ventura.
Speaker 1: Let me get this straight, Seawn Combs, Sean Ditty Combs
Speaker 1: would hire male prostitutes to come in and have sex
Speaker 1: with his girlfriend for ten hours a piece at a
Speaker 1: time frequently, while he would drug her and all of
Speaker 1: the things. But he really took issue when she had
Speaker 1: a real relationship with somebody.
Speaker 2: Right who was also a successful hip hop.
Speaker 3: Artist, Broken person. Capricorn Clark said that Combs actually threatened
Speaker 3: her with the gun as well. She said, get dress,
Speaker 3: We're going to kill that guy. Clark said she tried
Speaker 3: to protest, but Diddy said, I don't give a f
Speaker 3: what you want to do that he was livid at
Speaker 3: her for not telling Ditty the relationship between Cutty and Ventura.
Speaker 3: She said again that he had threatened her multiple times before,
Speaker 3: but this was the first time that he appeared at
Speaker 3: her house with a weapon. She also testified multiple times
Speaker 3: that she saw Combs kicking Cassie Ventura. In fact, the
Speaker 3: way that she described it, she broke down in tears
Speaker 3: as she said, did he kicked Cassie Ventura repeatedly down
Speaker 3: a driveway, kicking the s out of her with one
Speaker 3: hundred percent full force, and then ordered Capricorn Clark to
Speaker 3: get out or she would be beaten as well.
Speaker 1: I often think about how it should be a requirement,
Speaker 1: or you should just know better to require this of yourself.
Speaker 1: You become larger than life in life, you become a
Speaker 1: Sean did he Combs?
Speaker 2: You're titan of your industry.
Speaker 1: You're successful, you have money, you have everything you've ever wanted, jets, cars, women, jewelry.
Speaker 1: What it is it should be required that you have
Speaker 1: a no person right next to you, someone to say
Speaker 1: this s has gotten out of control. You're getting out
Speaker 1: of control because you can't always rely on the person
Speaker 1: to look and word and be like what the hell
Speaker 1: am I doing? You know, because they get they get
Speaker 1: to be so big, and they're filled with so many
Speaker 1: yes people around them that just enable them to become
Speaker 1: freaking monsters.
Speaker 3: You know, it's weird that you say that, because one
Speaker 3: of the things that she testified to today that Capricorn
Speaker 3: Clark testified to was when the defense starts questioning her,
Speaker 3: the attorney who did it said we've met before, haven't we.
Speaker 3: And I guess there was an interview that was done
Speaker 3: last year and what she said to that attorney at
Speaker 3: the time was he wouldn't be in this ditty, would
Speaker 3: not be in this mess if he had kept me around,
Speaker 3: because I was the no person. I was the person
Speaker 3: who told, hey, this is a bad idea. You're getting
Speaker 3: yourself into trouble. You're going to cause more problems, which
Speaker 3: I think is a kind of a funny way for
Speaker 3: her to look at it herself, because she talked about
Speaker 3: being completely in fear of this guy, but that she
Speaker 3: at the time at least believed that she might have
Speaker 3: been able to control some of his behavior.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, how do you pick?
Speaker 1: How do you because if you don't have a no
Speaker 1: person all the life you've worked for, you're just going
Speaker 1: to ruin it.
Speaker 5: And he clearly didn't have.
Speaker 3: I mean, even she says, I mean in that episode
Speaker 3: of watching him kick cass Eventura down the driveway, said
Speaker 3: she tried to get two of the bodyguards to help out.
Speaker 3: They're not going to do anything. They're paid to just
Speaker 3: sit there and do nothing because they are there are
Speaker 3: no no people around him.
Speaker 1: Apparently he gave lie detector tests to his employees as well.
Speaker 6: We should start doing that around here, even if it's
Speaker 6: not real. Yeah, just for fuck a nine volt battery
Speaker 6: and if you lie. Oh my goodness. I got out
Speaker 6: of yoga yesterday.
Speaker 1: I went to Patriotic Yoga.
Speaker 2: It was pretty cool.
Speaker 1: They had like sounds of firecrackers and lights and a
Speaker 1: lot of good messages of being thankful for people who
Speaker 1: have given it all for this country and for us
Speaker 1: to be able to do yoga in the middle of
Speaker 1: a day on a Monday.
Speaker 2: And I get back in the car and I'm feeling.
Speaker 1: All relaxed and all patriotic and feeling great energized. And
Speaker 1: I have the radio on low and I'm like looking
Speaker 1: up something on my phone directions to get somewhere.
Speaker 2: I'm like, what the hell is this? Good Lord, I
Speaker 2: turn it up and it's me. I didn't know what.
Speaker 1: We were running like a best of yesterday, but it
Speaker 1: was hilarious.
Speaker 2: I'm like seeing the car of trying to find something.
Speaker 2: I'm like, what the hell is it?
Speaker 5: What is shit walking? Chicken?
Speaker 2: Yeah? And I was like, oh man, what a real moment.
Speaker 3: Well, I didn't do yoga, but I met one hundred
Speaker 3: and two year old World War two vet yesterday.
Speaker 5: Wow. He and his buddy.
Speaker 3: Who's one hundred both of them World War two vets
Speaker 3: that were at the memorial?
Speaker 2: Who's the no guy in that relationship?
Speaker 5: Probably one hundred years?
Speaker 2: One hundred year old? Guys?
Speaker 1: I got you gotta just the freak offs on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: all right, you guys, like, listen, I made it to
Speaker 1: one hundred and two.
Speaker 5: What do you know?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 3: More on that scam of finding out that the eighty
Speaker 3: two year old dad had a lot of girlfriends.
Speaker 2: But no love, but it made him happy.
Speaker 5: Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 7: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 7: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: We have to spend a little bit more time. Maybe
Speaker 1: in True Crime Tuesday, we can touch back on this
Speaker 1: as well, because I think it affects a lot of people.
Speaker 1: Let us know if you or you know somebody who
Speaker 1: has been affected by these romance scams, because I think
Speaker 1: this is much more prevalent than anyone thinks. It's talking
Speaker 1: about this Dateline documentary, I believe it's called something to
Speaker 1: the effect of hey, beautiful, something like that, Like that
Speaker 1: was his opening line that he would use all the time.
Speaker 1: But I think it's more prevalent than we think. And
Speaker 1: in that documentary, it's not just one woman that's scammed.
Speaker 1: It's a bevy of women, and it's a bevy of people.
Speaker 1: Men or others. Women do this as well, pretend to
Speaker 1: be men who use pictures of real people for their scams.
Speaker 1: Those people are victims as well. I mean, imagine your
Speaker 1: picture you would be perfect for this being taken, you know,
Speaker 1: online somewhere and somebody pretending to be your picture, trustworthy face,
Speaker 1: you know, acceptible, acceptable. I was gonna give you a
Speaker 1: compliment right there, and then I pulled back because you
Speaker 1: you ruined it.
Speaker 2: You ruin the moment.
Speaker 1: But but you know there's there's men out there where
Speaker 1: they have faces where you'd be like, oh, okay, I
Speaker 1: can trust this person, and those pictures are being used
Speaker 1: to commit these awful crimes. But in the cut there
Speaker 1: was an anecdote that was written about and it was
Speaker 1: from a writer who says, it was only after my
Speaker 1: father died that I got access to his conversations with
Speaker 1: I love the way way he writes this, the creatures
Speaker 1: who fleeced him. He was so enamored by the members
Speaker 1: of what he jokingly called his harem that he printed
Speaker 1: the transcripts of their dialogues and filed them in metal
Speaker 1: cabinets in his office.
Speaker 5: I liked it. Dad was a little inter retentive man.
Speaker 1: Well, he was a transportation engineer or an urban planner.
Speaker 1: This is what Dad did. This is how he made
Speaker 1: sense of things. This is how he kept his belongings chronicled.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this, like you said, is more common. I'd love
Speaker 3: to know. Send us a talkback if this has happened
Speaker 3: to you, or if that maybe this happened to mom
Speaker 3: and Dad and you didn't know until later.
Speaker 4: Gary and Shannon I'm in my eighties and I have
Speaker 4: had several men trying to contact me through Facebook, and
Speaker 4: one was like twenty nine years old. And I kind
Speaker 4: of played the game with that one and said, you know,
Speaker 4: I'm a little too old for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh I like older women. He said, what a joke.
Speaker 4: They are such scammers. They are.
Speaker 1: It is important because I mean, I was captivated by
Speaker 1: this show and not be not for a purient interest,
Speaker 1: for a I want to be on guard. I want
Speaker 1: other people to be on guard of this going on,
Speaker 1: because it is so human to want a connection with somebody.
Speaker 1: That's why Facebook is so popular. It's nice to connect
Speaker 1: with people well.
Speaker 3: And it's also we've talked about this many times in
Speaker 3: the terms of the wellness aspect of loneliness, that it
Speaker 3: has a ridiculously detrimental effect to your physical health if
Speaker 3: you find yourself lonely.
Speaker 1: Because and that's why we're programmed to seek connection, because
Speaker 1: if we don't, we.
Speaker 2: Die, right, that's dark, it's true. But let us know.
Speaker 1: Hit us up on that talkback feature using the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: We'll get into it coming up in the twelve o'clock hour,
Speaker 1: and we get into true crime Tuesday more about this
Speaker 1: man's life, how he had such a healthy bench, a
Speaker 1: harem he called it, of women, and kind of the
Speaker 1: question of if this is how people choose to spend
Speaker 1: their later years is there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's an interesting aspect that I hadn't thought of maybe, right.
Speaker 5: I mean, if he's not losing all of his money.
Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing.
Speaker 1: Like in this show, you're getting interviews from the younger
Speaker 1: relatives and the grandkids, and like they took all of
Speaker 1: grandma's money or whatever.
Speaker 5: Grandma was pretty happy talking this twenty grandma's money. It
Speaker 5: ain't your money.
