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. There are some parts of Hollywood
Speaker 1: that are run down. They almost seem to be like
Speaker 1: baby ghost towns. Some areas this small stretch of Sunset
Speaker 1: Boulevard among them. This is an area of Sunset between
Speaker 1: Las Palmas and Highland where several dilapidated properties sit, including
Speaker 1: the former La Weekly office. This is all part of
Speaker 1: a proposed development that is going to try to reshape
Speaker 1: the area. One of the odd crumbling structures there in
Speaker 1: that vicinity is on a massive lot with old bungalows
Speaker 1: and motel rooms. It's called the Hollywood Center Motel. It
Speaker 1: looks creepy to begin with. Yeah, it's got this great
Speaker 1: sign out in front. I mean, except the fact that
Speaker 1: it's missing one of the l's in Holly. But it's
Speaker 1: got a great sign out in front that says Hollywood
Speaker 1: Center Motel. And it's sort of a I don't know
Speaker 1: what'd you call it, an art deco sign our deco
Speaker 1: with an arrow pointing down like the Beetlejuice sign all that.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just a it's a cool looking place,
Speaker 2: and you can see clearly this would be something that
Speaker 2: they would if you're making a movie about late forties
Speaker 2: fifties Hollywood, this would be a place that you would
Speaker 2: refurbish and bring back to its full potential.
Speaker 1: It has played host to a slew of film and
Speaker 1: TV productions, including La Confidential, Confidential, The Rockford Files, a
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy two Pam Greer film hit Man. But now
Speaker 1: they say it looks like it's only suitable for horror films.
Speaker 2: The Victorian house that you mentioned it was really the
Speaker 2: first building on this entire lot. Way back in the
Speaker 2: early nineteen hundreds, very well to do couple William and
Speaker 2: Sarah Avery lived there. They called it the They called
Speaker 2: it El Nido. Changed hands a few times in the twenties.
Speaker 2: A couple of the new owners commissioned a build her
Speaker 2: to put up a bunch of bungalows on the property
Speaker 2: in an old English design. The owners kept expanding the property.
Speaker 2: They were renting out the bungalows to I mean this again,
Speaker 2: center of Hollywood. So you got a bunch of movie
Speaker 2: extras and people in town trying to make it, and
Speaker 2: this is where they would stay so they owners eventually die,
Speaker 2: their daughter takes over and they sell it at auction.
Speaker 2: She sells it at auction back in nineteen fifty four.
Speaker 1: But what happens at hotels like this, well, tragedy befalls them.
Speaker 1: It has to right. Hotels that are around for a
Speaker 1: certain amount of years, it's only a matter of time
Speaker 1: until they become infamous for one thing or another. And
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty three a crime made the papers when
Speaker 1: a young, well dressed bandit held up the manager, Dorothea Meryll,
Speaker 1: at gunpoint, turn into bed and stole one hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty dollars from the hotel. Till later on in the sixties,
Speaker 1: remember Buffalo Springfield, they were just an upstart at the time.
Speaker 1: They all took up residence at one of the double
Speaker 1: story houses located at the Hollywood Center Motel. They loved
Speaker 1: the cheap rights, they loved the proximity to the music scene.
Speaker 2: Neil Young and Crazy Horse supposedly stayed there not because
Speaker 2: it was great, but literally because they were looking for
Speaker 2: the sleaziest motel on sunset that they could find, and
Speaker 2: this is the one that fit the bill.
Speaker 1: In the eighties, it became infamous yet again, when it
Speaker 1: became a footnote in the Wild Billionaire Boys Club saga.
Speaker 1: This was a case It centered around a Freddy La
Speaker 1: investment club turned Ponzi scheme that saw the founder of
Speaker 1: the club convicted of murdering one of the investors. During
Speaker 1: the trial, that guy's best friend described to the La Times.
Speaker 1: Described by the La Times as the prosecutions our witness
Speaker 1: was connected to another murder of a guy in his
Speaker 1: early twenties whose body was found inside the trunk of
Speaker 1: one of the motel's rooms in the fall of eighty six.
Speaker 1: It is funny.
Speaker 2: There are a few There are a few Yelp reviews
Speaker 2: of this place that are up right now. The last
Speaker 2: Yelp review or the most recent, I should say, looks
Speaker 2: like it's October of twenty three and said what was
Speaker 2: once a unique motel court is now a creepy experience
Speaker 2: to avoid the algorithm says that I have to say more.
Speaker 2: Stand by my statement again. It's these are not necessarily
Speaker 2: authentic people who stayed there, obviously, but fellow travelers and
Speaker 2: road dog I renamed this the Hollywood Standard Motel or sorry,
Speaker 2: Hollywood STD Motel is what this place should be called,
Speaker 2: not the place I thought I would be checking into
Speaker 2: so decided not to check in after I pulled into
Speaker 2: the driveway. That was from November of twenty two, So.
Speaker 1: All right. Coming up next an update on our Feathered Friends,
Speaker 1: our Feathered Family, and Big Bear. Also coming up Wellness
Speaker 1: Malls maybe coming to your neighborhood. And if you like
Speaker 1: romance novels and podcasts, have I got an app for you.
Speaker 3: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 3: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Gary said in the Brig Shadows with his second family,
Speaker 1: he thinks Shadow has a second family, Amy, and that
Speaker 1: his second family lives at one thousand feet and there's
Speaker 1: no snow, no and they're all comfy and whadows. It's
Speaker 1: a very devoted dad. Where is he right now?
Speaker 4: He's maybe getting some fish or maybe just taking a break.
Speaker 1: They work fair for them other kids. He said, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go get some cigarettes. I'll be right back. Do
Speaker 1: we even know about the mating habits of a male
Speaker 1: eagle and if he does have a second family?
Speaker 4: By nature, we know that they mate and they stay together.
Speaker 4: We don't know if they have multiple I don't think
Speaker 4: the penguins penguins, I think mate for a life and
Speaker 4: that's what eagles do too, Is that right?
Speaker 1: Yeah? So no chance Shadows get a second family somewhere.
Speaker 4: He's not getting any side hustle, side action, what do
Speaker 4: you call it?
Speaker 1: Side piece? Not? If that what do I call it? Well,
Speaker 1: I mean not if that other eagle also made babies
Speaker 1: during the making baby season, I mean that that eagle
Speaker 1: could be down for the count too. In terms of
Speaker 1: sexy time.
Speaker 2: How long does it take to bounce back? Yeah, for
Speaker 2: an eagle, yeah, I have no idea.
Speaker 1: For a human, what is it? Six weeks? They tell
Speaker 1: you not to get in there for six weeks.
Speaker 2: That's more comfort than it is. I mean, are you asking,
Speaker 2: like when can you?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: I said, well, I don't. I'm not going to answer that.
Speaker 2: There's nothing.
Speaker 1: No, no, I'm just saying if eaglettles have a specific
Speaker 1: mating season and he does have two families, We're going
Speaker 1: to get so much hate over this.
Speaker 2: I was just suggesting something off the air that didn't
Speaker 2: need to be brought on the air. Where is Shadow
Speaker 2: and he's not in the nest and he's not keeping
Speaker 2: these babies warm and he's not getting snow dumped on
Speaker 2: his wai?
Speaker 1: How long does it cow?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 1: Literally, Amy, how long does it count? Does it take
Speaker 1: to go catch a fish and bring it back up? Well? Like,
Speaker 1: I feel like he's taking too long? Like is he
Speaker 1: in the car outside of the nest listening to music
Speaker 1: not wanting to go back to the nest because he
Speaker 1: doesn't want to deal with Jackie being like that might
Speaker 1: be the case.
Speaker 4: She doesn't give up the nest, especially when the weather's
Speaker 4: bad like this, okay, so she's pretty much like it's mine,
Speaker 4: stay away.
Speaker 1: She's like, I'll do it. You're not going to do
Speaker 1: it right, so I'll just do everything because you're not
Speaker 1: going to do it right.
Speaker 4: She totally does that to him, like he tries to
Speaker 4: feed and then she comes and she'll like move stuff
Speaker 4: like yeah, that piece is too big, or he'll put stuff.
Speaker 2: Like she say things to him like oh, bless your heart.
Speaker 3: She does.
Speaker 4: And then when he'll like put sticks down in the
Speaker 4: nest because they're always kind of building the nest, and
Speaker 4: she'll like look at him and then move.
Speaker 1: It for real. Yeah, yeah, oh that's not cool. I
Speaker 1: just want to live in a house like that constantly.
Speaker 1: I would like a roof on my house. This one
Speaker 1: does not have that interesting. Where do you guys think
Speaker 1: Shadow is though? Do you think he's really like painstakingly
Speaker 1: he's below the snow line right now? Yeah, he could be.
Speaker 1: He could be down in the tree, just on a
Speaker 1: perch at the at the nest pub, the pup nest.
Speaker 2: He's downstairs, Is that what you're saying? He's downstairs waiting
Speaker 2: for her to.
Speaker 1: Go to sleep. So silence, well, silence, Yeah, she'll call
Speaker 1: him when she needs really come and she'll call him.
Speaker 3: Amy.
Speaker 1: How much time do you've spent watching this? Asking for
Speaker 1: a friend? So I've been doing this for I've been
Speaker 1: watching them for probably four or five six years the season,
Speaker 1: so I've garnered some smart stuff. Do you and your
Speaker 1: cat read them? And the cats hang out? The cats
Speaker 1: watch the Oh my god, you guys. I did try
Speaker 1: to make the cats watch it the other day. My
Speaker 1: dog react them. They don't. The cats don't care.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if they're if they're moving around or something like that.
Speaker 2: He'll he'll tell the kids. These are more like it's
Speaker 2: about them. Like there, It's like, come on.
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 4: Just yeah, give me some food. I don't care about
Speaker 4: those little things swirming on the screen.
Speaker 1: The e's like a football player watching somebody else's game.
Speaker 2: Come on the eaglists do hatch. With the poor vision,
Speaker 2: they can barely see shadows. Now they're saying that shadows
Speaker 2: lowercase s not the not the dad. But they said
Speaker 2: that the third chick, they were concerned about it because
Speaker 2: it was later, several days later than they first two,
Speaker 2: and they were worried that it wasn't getting food. They said,
Speaker 2: it's better at figuring out now where the food is
Speaker 2: coming from, and it's been able to hold up its
Speaker 2: head for bites of meat from the beaks of the parents.
Speaker 4: They're doing a good job getting making sure that the
Speaker 4: little one gets some food. But the first born, I
Speaker 4: think it must be the first born, so because they
Speaker 4: came out like what one hatched and then the other
Speaker 4: hatch the next day. The bigger one I call him
Speaker 4: brutus because he is vicious with the other ones and
Speaker 4: he pecks them.
Speaker 1: How do you know it's not a female. It's she
Speaker 1: is vicious and she pecks them. I don't know what
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 2: They refer to them as refer to that as bonking it.
Speaker 2: You should come up with a different word it.
Speaker 4: What's really mean because that when they do that, it's
Speaker 4: like they bite the other one's head and the other
Speaker 4: one just collapses, and it's to establish pecking order.
Speaker 1: But it's it's.
Speaker 4: Kind of heartbreaking to watch. But they're all fine and
Speaker 4: everybody's getting food. I watched him yesterday.
Speaker 1: Did you know about the broad patch? The brood patch?
Speaker 1: The brood patch is a patch of featherless skin low
Speaker 1: on the abdomen that both Jackie and Shadow develop. A
Speaker 1: brood patch is supplied with blood vessels aiding in heat transfer.
Speaker 1: It's a heating blanket. That must be nice to have
Speaker 1: red blood cells. You have some, Yeah, couple a couple.
Speaker 1: So what time of day do they eat? Like when
Speaker 1: does the carcass get brought to the nest and the
Speaker 1: innerds get plucked or pecked? And when does that happen?
Speaker 4: They eat kind of all they There was one day
Speaker 4: I was watching on the chat because they've got people
Speaker 4: who actually know stuff about these guys.
Speaker 1: People, do you know more than you know? More than
Speaker 1: the people I talk to? It? Friends of Big Bear? Oh,
Speaker 1: come on?
Speaker 4: So anyway, they said that they fit like eleven times
Speaker 4: two days.
Speaker 1: Eleven time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so if you watch for an extent, like
Speaker 4: if you watch for an hour you're probably going to
Speaker 4: see a feeding because they do it pretty regularly, except
Speaker 4: they're not going to probably today because of the storm.
Speaker 1: Several small meals are better for your metabolism. There go.
Speaker 1: You don't want to have fat eagles. That's not true.
Speaker 1: Is that just what you tell yourself when you plow
Speaker 1: all that food into your mo? Is that what you
Speaker 1: saw me do? Today? Not today? Not yet? Still early? Well?
Speaker 2: Amy, you know I don't need you to team up
Speaker 2: with her against me.
Speaker 1: Some of us like bigger portions. I yes, you do.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I shouldn't be mean to you. Dad. Just
Speaker 1: day too late and you don't even have your taxes
Speaker 1: done enough I have you can wait until September for
Speaker 1: those I mean, I mean that would make me feel
Speaker 1: I didn't know you're a procrastinator. I'm not. That's the
Speaker 1: whole thing. That's why it's bothering me.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna get them done because otherwise you just
Speaker 1: have to worry about it all summer. Can I just
Speaker 1: do my quick rant?
Speaker 2: If they know how much I owe, just tell me
Speaker 2: did I already pay that much?
Speaker 1: Are you going to give me a refund? Or do
Speaker 1: I need to write a check?
Speaker 2: Don't make me go through the rigamarole, because if I
Speaker 2: get it wrong, when I do it, you're gonna tell
Speaker 2: me anyway. Sorry, started sounded like a little drunk uncle there,
Speaker 2: a little bet.
Speaker 1: You just tell me anyway. I mean, I gotta write
Speaker 1: a check, don't I It's not it's not that hard.
Speaker 1: Those malls that you've been to that are empty at
Speaker 1: the end of Thanksgiving sounds like you've run out of
Speaker 1: all things to talk about. Football game's over. Tell Gary's
Speaker 1: bitching about taxes, the sweet potato pie is gone. And
Speaker 1: another thing.
Speaker 2: If you know, if you know how much how much
Speaker 2: I'm supposed to pay?
Speaker 1: Just tell me. Just tell me how much you're supposed
Speaker 1: to pay? All right, I don't care. I don't care.
Speaker 1: Just tell me. Don't don't make me scared. Where are
Speaker 1: my keys? I'm fine, I am fine. I'm fine.
Speaker 3: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI.
Speaker 1: Coming up a shocking story. A man severely emaciated he
Speaker 1: started a fire to escape his stepmother's captivity. Thirty two
Speaker 1: years old. He is he weighed just sixty eight pounds.
Speaker 1: Prosecutors call the situation something out of a horror movie.
Speaker 2: We're trying to kind of keep an eye on what's
Speaker 2: going on in the latest between Ukraine and Russia. We
Speaker 2: know that American envoy, American Envoy Steve Witkoff, is supposed
Speaker 2: to be meeting with President Putin of Russia to bring
Speaker 2: to him the thirty day ceasefire idea that was worked
Speaker 2: out between the United States and Ukraine. And right now
Speaker 2: President Trump is meeting with the Secretary General of NATO
Speaker 2: as we're getting word that Putin has agreed in principle
Speaker 2: to the thirty day ceasefire, but with some conditions. So
Speaker 2: when we get to Swamp Watch, we'll talk more about that.
Speaker 1: PSA, have you gotten the toll road texts?
Speaker 2: Did my daughter got one identical.
Speaker 1: To my husband got him? My girlfriends have got him
Speaker 1: that don't even live here anyway, The FBI now warning
Speaker 1: you not to respond to those scam road toll collection texts.
Speaker 1: They're happening to all of us. They're not real. They're
Speaker 1: not going to come arrest you. They're not going to
Speaker 1: come get you, especially if you know you're not on
Speaker 1: toll roads. And that's the thing. A lot of people
Speaker 1: do take toll roads, so you think it's legit, it's not.
Speaker 1: The FBI received more than two thousand complaints just this
Speaker 1: month alone. The texts impersonate state road toll collection agencies.
Speaker 1: They try to get you to reveal your financial information, credit,
Speaker 1: debit card, bank account, things like that. Don't do it.
Speaker 1: Go to the toll road website. If you think you
Speaker 1: have an outstanding thing, don't respond to those text messages.
Speaker 6: Erry, I don't appreciate your condescendingly asking Shannon what the
Speaker 6: temperature of snow is? Okay, well, what's the temperature of
Speaker 6: your IQ? Probably about seventy degrees?
Speaker 1: Good.
Speaker 6: Look. Don't let Gary bully you like that.
Speaker 1: Have a nice day, you know, do bully me? Bully
Speaker 1: hy a bit by?
Speaker 2: Ooh, I'm Gary.
Speaker 1: It's ringing in oz ooh.
Speaker 2: Not again.
Speaker 7: Hey, Gary and Shannon. This is Gonzo here, reporting live
Speaker 7: from ground zero to the ninety five block of Glenn Cannon,
Speaker 7: where a tornado hit at three fifteen in the morning
Speaker 7: last night. It took down a couple of trees, some
Speaker 7: homes got damage and vehicle so be careful out there.
Speaker 7: Crazy weather on the corner.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Gonzo on the corner.
Speaker 2: National Weather Service does say it was an EF zero.
Speaker 1: It's the lowest rating, but it's still an it still counts.
Speaker 2: A CHP is also escorting traffic up over the Grapevine.
Speaker 2: They said there's some snow flurries, but it's not really
Speaker 2: sticking snow visible from north of the Fort to hone
Speaker 2: exit to just south of Gorman. And the temperature right
Speaker 2: there's about thirty four degrees, so it'll it'll stop that.
Speaker 2: An hour ago, cal Trans District seven posted that on
Speaker 2: their Twitter page.
Speaker 1: The malls of our youth have disappeared. Right. No longer
Speaker 1: will you find a glamour shots or wet seal or
Speaker 1: Orange Julius.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 1: Malls have to kind of pivot, don't they, because for
Speaker 1: several reasons, we're not going to them anymore. Kids don't
Speaker 1: talk to each other after school walking around the mall.
Speaker 1: They've got smartphones for that. The COVID pandemic shut down
Speaker 1: a lot of in person shopping. We haven't gone back
Speaker 1: to that. It's just the way we do things these days.
Speaker 1: Asn't involved going to a shopping mall. So what are
Speaker 1: they going to fill all that space with? Well, it
Speaker 1: may be that wellness malls pick up where the Malls
Speaker 1: of our Youth left off.
Speaker 2: It's an interesting look at the way that commercial real
Speaker 2: estate works right now, with so many stores that over
Speaker 2: the last ten years or so. I mean, you can
Speaker 2: you can imagine wherever you live in southern California, you
Speaker 2: can imagine in a strip mall or even a normal
Speaker 2: what you would consider shopping mall that has lost twenty
Speaker 2: five percent, thirty fifty percent of its tenants and nothing
Speaker 2: has come to replace it.
Speaker 1: Or it's those stores that are.
Speaker 2: Like the I don't want to get anybody in trouble,
Speaker 2: but the cheap asss the worst quality products and they
Speaker 2: sell a million different things, and they're all plastic and
Speaker 2: they're all microplastics and they're just awful products.
Speaker 1: Oh, there used to be different grades of shopping malls.
Speaker 1: You know, you'd have like the Nordstrom, Bloomy's, you know,
Speaker 1: like South Coast Plaza, and then you get into you know,
Speaker 1: the Garden Grove mall or whatever. I'm not putting any
Speaker 1: malls down, and I'm making some of this up, but
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Some of them are the
Speaker 1: high end stores, and some of them are all the
Speaker 1: places from the parts from China that you're talking about.
Speaker 2: You had the Banana Republic Mall, you had the Gap mall,
Speaker 2: and then you had the old Navy mall. Right, you know,
Speaker 2: they're all the same product, it's just different labels.
Speaker 1: There is Corda Madera where you were judged like Julia
Speaker 1: Roberts and Pretty Woman, and then there was Northgate where
Speaker 1: you could go and you could go to Missus Fields
Speaker 1: and Mervin's. You felt comfortable smoke. Did you did, anyway?
Speaker 1: So they're calling the new iteration of malls the wellness
Speaker 1: tenants or medtail businesses like medical retail and so dentists.
Speaker 2: You had to bring it up again.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but it's right here. Dentists are are in demand.
Speaker 1: I have seen more Dennis and Strip malls lately than
Speaker 1: I ever have, which makes it kind of almost gives
Speaker 1: me a vibe of user friendly, Like going to the
Speaker 1: dentist isn't a big production if it's right next to
Speaker 1: the trader.
Speaker 2: Joe's right the dentist I go to. There's a there's
Speaker 2: a breakfast restaurant right next to it. There's a gym
Speaker 2: that's a corner exactly. It's not a medical office building.
Speaker 1: So that's kind of nice. You just pop in, you
Speaker 1: get your teeth clean, you pop out, it's not the
Speaker 1: excavation that I went through at my root canal.
Speaker 2: PDS is a nationwide company, PDS Health, and it recruits
Speaker 2: young dentists out of dental schools and sets them up
Speaker 2: in some of the storefront locations around the country. Patients
Speaker 2: are often walk ins things like toothaches. Maybe they're neighbors.
Speaker 2: They want a dentist that's closer to home, and they
Speaker 2: just simply walk in.
Speaker 1: You know. I used to think of dentists like pilots,
Speaker 1: like I want the old ones. I like the old
Speaker 1: I like the old Vietnam era pilots. I like my
Speaker 1: dentists old. And then I had my first young dentist.
Speaker 1: And she's spectacular. She's younger than me, and she's wonderful,
Speaker 1: and I mean this was like fifteen years ago. She
Speaker 1: was younger than me and I and she's she's perfect.
Speaker 1: She's wonderful, and she knows all the things, and she
Speaker 1: knows all the new things, and she's quick and wonderful.
Speaker 2: Smaller hands to very much.
Speaker 1: So yeah, very tiny little fingers.
Speaker 2: It's not some guy who worked his way through dental
Speaker 2: school at a steel mill.
Speaker 1: Packing guy, right, good point, all right. The quinn app
Speaker 1: I think I'm going to sell you for this. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is.
Speaker 2: Redefining pleasure for Why is someone laughing back?
Speaker 1: There was that Keana laughing at me. I don't think
Speaker 1: she was laughing at you.
Speaker 2: Will you read us redefining pleasure for women?
Speaker 1: I'm going to pull up this is all about erotica.
Speaker 1: But it's like a podcast. It's an app, right, It's
Speaker 1: called Quinn gen Z is all about it. And I
Speaker 1: mean we're talking like twenty four million minutes every month
Speaker 1: that listeners sign in for for these scripted erotic scenarios.
Speaker 1: So what I'm gonna do is, I'm gonna pull up
Speaker 1: an excerpt from a romance novel and we're going to
Speaker 1: have you read it.
Speaker 2: When we come back Gary and Channon, we'll continue deb
Speaker 2: Mark Lot.
Speaker 1: Buckle your seat belt.
Speaker 3: Maybe you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
Speaker 3: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5: Hey, since there's a Trader Joe's next to the dentists,
Speaker 5: at least in what Shannon said, maybe if she has
Speaker 5: to go for another root canal, she should drop by
Speaker 5: Trader Joe's first, get herself a little bit of buff
Speaker 5: chuck and set herself up so it's.
Speaker 1: Not such a terrible it's going to make a meaner
Speaker 1: then she.
Speaker 5: Can just uber home. Take care guys.
Speaker 1: Bye. That doesn't work. By the way, having cocktails before
Speaker 1: you go to the dentist to mellow you out, it's
Speaker 1: not a good idea.
Speaker 2: Plus, if you're drinking red wine. Oh yeah on your team,
Speaker 2: Oh my god, what trash mouth.
Speaker 1: You open your mouth and you're like, really seriously speaking
Speaker 1: of an update on the global trade war when it
Speaker 1: comes to alcohol, because that's the new focus today is
Speaker 1: all the alcohol. All right? Have you ever heard of
Speaker 1: The Queen's Guard. Well, in The Queen's Guard actor Andrew
Speaker 1: Scott from Fleabag the Hot Priest, You remember him. He
Speaker 1: plays a sword fielding hero, constantly battling his enemies and
Speaker 1: is in his own simmering sexual energy he has to
Speaker 1: fight against. This is not fantasy TV, and you never
Speaker 1: see his face. However, because The Queen's Guard is an
Speaker 1: audio series. This is among three big celebrity led shows
Speaker 1: that debuted this year on the erotica app Quinn. These
Speaker 1: are called Quinn Originals, and they're bringing star power to
Speaker 1: the app's largely user generated content library Audio Erotica. Folks
Speaker 1: I sent you a couple passages of some One of
Speaker 1: them is completely off limits, is it.
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't read them. I just sent them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I could tell. Well, can you read from one of
Speaker 1: the passages? Yeah? You have to use your voice though,
Speaker 1: because people are paying good money for this. We'll see

Speaker 1: your own production here. Well, I don't know. Is there music?

Speaker 1: or excerpt.
Speaker 2: So this is an excerpt from a novel called Firecracker
Speaker 2: by Lucy Lennox and May Archer. And again, this is
Speaker 2: a woman apparently name.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it'll work from a woman's perspective,
Speaker 1: but I'm I'm willing to try it out.
Speaker 2: Okay, the character's name is Flynn. Okay, go ahead, I
Speaker 2: need an action.
Speaker 1: Action?
Speaker 2: Could I trust him? Thirty years have past experience suggest No?
Speaker 2: Did I want to? I pressed my nose to JT's
Speaker 2: neck and inhaled a breath of his cologne, clean summer
Speaker 2: sweat layered over something smoky and no doubt expensive, and
Speaker 2: felt my gut tighten with need. Yeah, yeah, I definitely
Speaker 2: wanted to let me take you to bed. Firecracker.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: His voice was low and easy, as if he had
Speaker 2: no reservations or stress about the decision. How nice for him.
Speaker 2: We shouldn't. Those two whispered words were as close to
Speaker 2: a denial as I could muster. And even as I
Speaker 2: said them, m oh, even as I said them, my
Speaker 2: fingers dug into the muscles beneath his T shirt, and
Speaker 2: my hand clenched his more tightly, begging him silently not
Speaker 2: to listen. Oh my all, hail Flynn, honeycut the king
Speaker 2: of mixed signals.
Speaker 1: Oh wait a minute, it's two dudes.
Speaker 2: WHOA I saw the pronouns?
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, when do they get to it? Are they
Speaker 1: just going to talk like women do? There's a lot
Speaker 1: of talking here, is Yeah, when do we get to
Speaker 1: the stuff. I guess it's part of it. There's got
Speaker 1: to be the build up.
Speaker 2: Once I'd locked the back door, I grabbed his wrist
Speaker 2: again and marched him across the lot to my little house.
Speaker 2: Then something, something, something. At times i'd suspected JT himself
Speaker 2: didn't feel that way.
Speaker 1: M boom boom.
Speaker 2: Now in the muted lamplight, I looked at him more closely.
Speaker 2: Now that said, no sex yet. Huh, dude, suck man,
Speaker 2: what's going on? He's just going to talk about it
Speaker 2: and your fingernails and stuff. It took a big step
Speaker 2: until his chest brushed against mine. His hands grabbed my hips.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're runing the genre. I think I think we've
Speaker 1: earned it. I think we've held that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, shorts, Oh they're okay. My heart thumped harder as
Speaker 2: my lung struggled to take in enough oxygen. When his finging,
Speaker 2: what did they do? I almost fell off the stairs. Ah,
Speaker 2: that's not magical, the good. I am intentionally skipping the good.
Speaker 1: It's got to be something you can read out loud.
Speaker 1: That's a good part, but not too dirty. Come on.
Speaker 2: When I got up to my bedroom loft, I was
Speaker 2: relieved to see I'd left it fairly tidy that morning.
Speaker 2: The bedding was thrown into place, and there weren't any
Speaker 2: dirty clothes on the floor.
Speaker 1: So he is gay. That's why I said, right.
Speaker 2: Well, Now, had I looked down at the bottom and
Speaker 2: seen the the ads for the upcoming novels, I would
Speaker 2: have clearly seen that it was.
Speaker 1: It was a couple of dudes. Does that one say
Speaker 1: sweet as honey? Yes? Interesting?
Speaker 2: The other one says hot as heller.
Speaker 1: So there's no like in the no, not in the excerpt.
Speaker 2: That's why they it's a call an excerpt so that
Speaker 2: you'll go buy Firecracker. Oh, I see it's like a
Speaker 2: movie trailer.
Speaker 1: Yet, yes, that's exactly what it is. That's stupid. Give
Speaker 1: him that app anymore. I liked it when you were
Speaker 1: the woman though.
Speaker 2: I closed the distance between us and pressed my mouth
Speaker 2: against hers. She was surprised, but kissed back with a
Speaker 2: ferocity that sent sparks through my body.
Speaker 1: Are these two women? No, this is a different one.
Speaker 2: That's actually from a You could have used that excerpt.
Speaker 2: You didn't do anything work, I apologize. I don't know
Speaker 2: what kind of websites pop up.
Speaker 1: All right, we will, we'll clean it up and we
Speaker 1: will go to swamp watch, or we'll talk about alcohol
Speaker 1: costing more and where we stand with Putin and his
