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.
Speaker 2: So why don't you send us a quick email, just
Speaker 2: five bullet points, maybe something that's stuff that you do
Speaker 2: all week?
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I was thinking about this all weekend.
Speaker 1: How f't I would be if I got an email
Speaker 1: from my boss that says, tell me what you've done
Speaker 1: the last week. I mean, I was on vacation last week.
Speaker 1: I'm up at my mom's this week. But even in
Speaker 1: a normal week, when I'm there in Burbank and we're working,
Speaker 1: we're doing the show. If we got an email on
Speaker 1: Saturday night that said, hey, shoot me an email quick
Speaker 1: rundown of things you accomplished this week, I would get
Speaker 1: into some serious creative writing.
Speaker 3: Well, you could say I did Monday's show.
Speaker 1: I could say I paid attention to the news alerts
Speaker 1: when they popped up on my phone. You know, But
Speaker 1: and I could I could definitely get into some creative writing.
Speaker 1: I mean, we all know how to fudge what we do.
Speaker 1: It just requires a little imagination.
Speaker 3: Well, welcome back, thank you.
Speaker 1: How was spring training? Tell me everything?
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: So my buddy and I our two sons, got us
Speaker 2: tickets to go see the beginning of spring training basically,
Speaker 2: so we were there this last weekend in Arizona. Drove
Speaker 2: out there Friday night, drove back last night Saturday. We
Speaker 2: saw the Giants take on the Rangers in Surprise, Arizona
Speaker 2: Surprise beautiful stadium where the Rangers and I think the
Speaker 2: Royals share the facility there. And then the Angels take
Speaker 2: on the Guardians in Goodyear and also a beautiful stadium,
Speaker 2: and both places are set up for the automatic ball
Speaker 2: and strike system, which means we got to see for
Speaker 2: the first time these ball and strike challenges played out
Speaker 2: right in front of us.
Speaker 1: Really, so, how does it work?
Speaker 3: So the only thing at.
Speaker 1: The risk of having people get bored to tears and
Speaker 1: drive into a wall, tell me how does the automatic
Speaker 1: balls and strike system work?
Speaker 2: The rules are I don't on the radar and all
Speaker 2: the cameras or whatever. I don't know that part of it.
Speaker 2: But the rules are the picture. The catcher and the
Speaker 2: batter are the only three who can challenge a ball
Speaker 2: strike call by patting their hat or their helmet, and
Speaker 2: they have to You have to do it immediately. I mean,
Speaker 2: there's no you don't get to walk halfway to the
Speaker 2: dugout and have them tell you to challenge.
Speaker 3: You got to do it right away.
Speaker 1: Quick question. Isn't a pat of the hat kind of
Speaker 1: just common language that pictures and catchers and batters use
Speaker 1: it normally.
Speaker 2: It can be. It won't be going forward, I'll tell
Speaker 2: you that. Yeah, but it can be.
Speaker 1: And sometimes it's part of their their whole routine a batter.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you think of like no more garcia para,
Speaker 2: you know, stepping out of the box back and the
Speaker 2: old whole routine. Right, there was a dance routine and
Speaker 2: some of those guys do tap the top of their helmet.
Speaker 2: Now this is different. You make it clear and you
Speaker 2: direct it to the umpire, and the umpire does it.
Speaker 2: So in the first game on Saturday, there were five
Speaker 2: challenges at the plate. Get you get two incorrect challenges?
Speaker 3: How's that?
Speaker 2: And then an everyone you win, you get to you
Speaker 2: retain your challenge, just like other sports. Of the replays
Speaker 2: you immediately.
Speaker 1: Get sorry keep interjecting, you get two. You get two
Speaker 1: challenges the whole game.
Speaker 2: Two challenges the whole game. Okay, but if you're right,
Speaker 2: you retain your challenge as long as you want. You
Speaker 2: don't get extras when you get into extra innings either,
Speaker 2: so you got to be judicious with how you're going
Speaker 2: to use them. On Saturday's game, the ball and strike
Speaker 2: calls were challenged five times. The umpire was wrong four
Speaker 2: of those times, the one yesterday. Yesterday's game, there were
Speaker 2: only two challenges that I remember, and they came on
Speaker 2: consecutive pitches. One where the umpire called a ball, the
Speaker 2: catcher wanted it, wanted it reviewed, and it was a
Speaker 2: correct call. It was a ball by less than an
Speaker 2: inch off the outside of the plate. And then the second,
Speaker 2: the next pitch was a strike.
Speaker 3: Three.
Speaker 2: Umpire punches out the batter, and the batter immediately calls
Speaker 2: for a challenge, and he was right because the ball
Speaker 2: is out of the strike zone by less than a
Speaker 2: half of an inch. I mean, it is that specific.
Speaker 2: I don't know how they can be yeah, right, exactly, And.
Speaker 3: That's the hard part about it. I mean, it was quick.
Speaker 2: It was very quick because as soon as the batter,
Speaker 2: whoever challenges, the umpire spins around to the spectators, to
Speaker 2: the booth and he turns on his mic and he
Speaker 2: says the batter is challenging the call of strike. Three,
Speaker 2: everybody goes out, Everybody turns and looks at the scoreboard,
Speaker 2: and it says that pitch is being challenged. And within seconds,
Speaker 2: I mean maybe two three seconds, the graphic pops up.
Speaker 2: You see the picture of the ball, the video of
Speaker 2: the ball, you know, through the fake strike zone, and
Speaker 2: then whether it just determines if it hits any of
Speaker 2: the strike zone, it's a strike.
Speaker 3: If it's out of the strike.
Speaker 2: Zone, it's a ball, and then the umpire either confirms
Speaker 2: the call or changes the count.
Speaker 1: Okay, More importantly, Ugh, tell me about the sunshine and
Speaker 1: the beer and the food, and did you have any
Speaker 1: dippin' dots?
Speaker 2: Did not have any dippin' dots. I had a great
Speaker 2: hot dog yesterday, though, Yeah you did.
Speaker 1: What did you put on it?
Speaker 3: Just mustard?
Speaker 1: Just mustard?
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: I like that move. I like that move.
Speaker 2: But it was at the Goodyear Ballpark, which is where
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Guardians and the Cincinnati Reds share facility. So
Speaker 2: this is a lot of Ohio corn fed milk drinking,
Speaker 2: good old boys, and they like their sausage to meats,
Speaker 2: like their meats.
Speaker 1: Man so meats and cheese and butter.
Speaker 3: That was really good. It was really really great.
Speaker 2: So and it was beautiful out there, seventy five degrees
Speaker 2: both days. The first day we were in the shade
Speaker 2: most of the time, which was fine. But then yesterday
Speaker 2: we started in the sun for like the first five
Speaker 2: innings or so, and then just it went in the
Speaker 2: shade kind of moved over us and it was still,
Speaker 2: you know, seventy five degrees.
Speaker 3: It was perfect. It was just perfect.
Speaker 1: Quick recap of my vacate last week. Went for a
Speaker 1: couple of days. Support a varta. If you want to
Speaker 1: get away from inflation Mexico people, Mexico kind of was
Speaker 1: cheap and then got not cheap, and now it's cheap
Speaker 1: again in terms of pesos to a dollar and in
Speaker 1: terms of eating out and even you know, taxi fare,
Speaker 1: uber rides whatever. Mexico is so much cheaper than us
Speaker 1: right now. If you want a quick little trip, yeah,
Speaker 1: two and a half hour plane ride down to PV
Speaker 1: nice and easy. Despite other reports, everyone is very welcoming
Speaker 1: to Americans and it's cheap as hell. So anyway, so
Speaker 1: what do you do?
Speaker 3: Whatever?
Speaker 1: What am I doing today? I'm doing this show I'm
Speaker 1: going to go to pants and do some grocery shopping. Yep,
Speaker 1: mom's got some health issues. So if you're a praying type,
Speaker 1: we will take the prayers fire and deserves prayers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, folded hands and.
Speaker 1: Don't shut the door on love. The pope is gonna die.
Speaker 1: Speaking of prayers, I mean, eighty eight's are really bad, age,
Speaker 1: asked ROBERTA Flack.
Speaker 3: You. Oh boy, well, it's it happened, you know.
Speaker 1: And for my money, I don't think it gets better
Speaker 1: than her cover of Will You Love Me Tomorrow?
Speaker 3: That's a great that's a good didn't I didn't pull
Speaker 3: I didn't pull that one. I pulled a couple of songs,
Speaker 3: but I didn't pull that one.
Speaker 2: I will say this when the Associated Press leads its
Speaker 2: stories about the Pope with these four words, Pope Francis
Speaker 2: woke up right, you know?
Speaker 1: It's dire, it's yeah, you know whatever, any would asks
Speaker 1: you how you do it? And you start with, well,
Speaker 1: I woke up this morning, right, Uh, you're probably not
Speaker 1: in good, good condition? All right?
Speaker 3: So what would you say you do? Here? This elon
Speaker 3: musk email that's going out?
Speaker 1: Oh are you gonna? I was gonna say we should
Speaker 1: ask people what have they accomplished in the last weekend?
Speaker 1: And I thought it might get a little bit chippy,
Speaker 1: but why not, you know, why not? Oh? Also, I
Speaker 1: know we're late, but I just wanted to make sure
Speaker 1: right out of the gate that you're not leaving the show.
Speaker 1: Are you leaving the show? I got a rumor that
Speaker 1: you were leaving the show. What well, Lester holds out
Speaker 1: at NBC Nightly News. Oh, and I got a text
Speaker 1: that you got the gig.
Speaker 2: That is very weird because I had a dream that
Speaker 2: someone was trying to get me to run for a governor.
Speaker 3: In the state of Washington.
Speaker 1: I could see that.
Speaker 3: No, I could not see that.
Speaker 1: I could see that.
Speaker 2: Vladimir Zelensky has apparently told an interview that he is
Speaker 2: willing to step down as president in order to secure
Speaker 2: peace for Ukraine. He said he would stand down in
Speaker 2: exchange for NATO membership. As that continued negotiation goes on.
Speaker 2: French President and Manuel Macron is going to be at
Speaker 2: the White House today. He and President Trump are expected
Speaker 2: to hold the news conference coming up about eleven o'clock.
Speaker 1: Does Zelenski think he is the problem, or if he
Speaker 1: is the problem, that he's willing to step aside to
Speaker 1: kind of backpedal well whatever strife. This has become.
Speaker 2: One of the criticisms of him, leveled by both President
Speaker 2: Trump and Vladimir Putin, is that he hasn't held an election.
Speaker 1: I mean, what happens, That's what the rules dictate, right,
Speaker 1: It's the same thing that happened in previous wars.
Speaker 2: The what else lester Hole baby vaping Oh conclave took
Speaker 2: the best ensemble in a motion picture.
Speaker 1: I mean, how apropos is that? Because we're going to
Speaker 1: have a whole Who's up Next Pope extravaganza. I'm excited
Speaker 1: for it. You know, there's a lot of There's one
Speaker 1: guy who looks way too young to be the Pope,
Speaker 1: who's like all about Mary. He devotes all of his
Speaker 1: prayers and his whole bit to Mary, which is that's
Speaker 1: a wild card.
Speaker 3: It's a Listen.
Speaker 2: This is like knowing who the third prospect is in
Speaker 2: the Dodgers second base them.
Speaker 1: I don't know, No, it's not I can't believe you
Speaker 1: would even compare that. That's apples and oranges. This is
Speaker 1: the Pope we're talking about, I know.
Speaker 2: But there are people I don't know who's I don't
Speaker 2: know who's in triple A to be Pope.
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know who.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people that are paying attention
Speaker 1: to the pope over the farm leagues. It's the Pope,
Speaker 1: for Christ's sake.
Speaker 3: That's one correct. It is the Pope.
Speaker 1: You miss me.
Speaker 2: You say it again, you miss The FBI, State Department,
Speaker 2: and the Pentagon have instructed their employees not to comply
Speaker 2: with Elon Musk's demand that federal workers explain what they
Speaker 2: accomplished last week or they could risk losing their job.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the demand went out Saturday from Musk that all
Speaker 1: federal employees state their weekly accomplishments or risk termination. I mean,
Speaker 1: this seems like an snl skit doesn't it. Well, I'd
Speaker 1: have a lot of fun with this if I was
Speaker 1: a comedy writer. Well to the material.
Speaker 2: It's just so vast, And even Elon Musk said, Hey,
Speaker 2: part of this is not necessarily that we're going to
Speaker 2: go through with a fine tooth comb and determine which
Speaker 2: employee is doing doing these five things and which ones aren't.
Speaker 2: It's he just wants to see who's reading their email
Speaker 2: in the first place, Like, who's going to reply this
Speaker 2: is actually.
Speaker 1: This like Elon Musk reads his email. I think that
Speaker 1: guy most people don't read their email. I don't think
Speaker 1: he reads his email.
Speaker 2: But this, actually, I mean, this was dominated. This is
Speaker 2: a weird story, but it was dominating the conversation behind
Speaker 2: me at the ballpark yesterday and Goodyear Arizona, where people
Speaker 2: were like, well, I'm not replying to that email until
Speaker 2: a very last minute. I've told my people in my department.
Speaker 2: Now I don't know what government agency they're working for,
Speaker 2: but they got the email and it was they were
Speaker 2: trying to figure out, how are they going to respond
Speaker 2: to it?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 1: Well, I don't want it. It's not hard.
Speaker 3: It's not that's the problem. It's not that hard.
Speaker 1: I could sit down and fudge an entire email right
Speaker 1: now about what I did last week when I was
Speaker 1: literally on vacation. It's really not that difficult. You just
Speaker 1: have to get creative and sit down and put pen
Speaker 1: to paper or whatever, fingertips to keyboard. It's really not
Speaker 1: that difficult. And it is, And the fact that you're
Speaker 1: bitching about this being difficult is maybe a reason why
Speaker 1: you are not necessary well, because if you can't sit
Speaker 1: down and just fudge it, Okay, if you can't sit
Speaker 1: down and legitimately say what you did last week, fine,
Speaker 1: I get it. I'm in that boat. But if you
Speaker 1: can't sit down and fudge it, then you're just not
Speaker 1: that bright of a person.
Speaker 2: That is. I think the issue is who who is
Speaker 2: actually doing this or who is afraid to do this?
Speaker 2: Isn't it something that we in the private sector have
Speaker 2: to do a lot of. We have performance reviews, or
Speaker 2: in our case, we have legitimate numbers that determine the
Speaker 2: success or not success of our show. It's measured, it's
Speaker 2: a measurable thing. And all he's trying to do is say,
Speaker 2: let's get some bullet points out here as to what
Speaker 2: it is that you say you do around here, Bob.
Speaker 1: Remember Bob, when you first got this job and you
Speaker 1: lied your way through your entire resume, do that? I mean,
Speaker 1: it's the same thing. It's the same thing. It's when
Speaker 1: people sit down to write their resume and they come
Speaker 1: up with things like organized database for management, structure of
Speaker 1: production department.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: People just make things up all the time. So why
Speaker 1: you couldn't just make it up? I would have been
Speaker 1: one of the first in line probably if I got
Speaker 1: that email Saturday night. They would have had it by
Speaker 1: Sunday morning.
Speaker 2: Well let me just let me point out that I
Speaker 2: would have had to tell you that you got the
Speaker 2: email Saturday night and said you didn't.
Speaker 1: You have I do not read my email.
Speaker 4: Wow, because you read it, Shannon Farren, I'm so glad
Speaker 4: you're back. See even if you're not, and stop beating
Speaker 4: around the bush at the baseball crap. I don't know.
Speaker 4: We all want to know because.
Speaker 1: We love you.
Speaker 4: Where have you been? And are you even in the
Speaker 4: studio today? I mean a no wires, sports broad fuzzy
Speaker 4: slippers whatever.
Speaker 1: I am at my mother's house. My mother wanted to
Speaker 1: point out that this was the room where I'm broadcasting
Speaker 1: where I was in a baby in a crib. I
Speaker 1: just went downstairs to make some breakfast, because you can
Speaker 1: do that when you're working from home. And she said,
Speaker 1: and she's listening to the show and she goes, you
Speaker 1: remember you were a baby in a crib in that room.
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, I'm sure people really give a crap
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 3: Well listen if you are.
Speaker 1: But I'm here all week and we have these broadcast
Speaker 1: units where I get to play sounds like this.
Speaker 3: Guys, I thought we dismantled those. I thought we disabled those.
Speaker 1: Anyway, So I'll be here all week.
Speaker 3: I doubt it. I doubt it. Hey, what are the
Speaker 3: five things you did last week?
Speaker 2: Leave us a talkback feature a talkback message on the
Speaker 2: iHeart app.
Speaker 1: They asked for five things.
Speaker 3: Yeah, five bullets as to what you do.
Speaker 1: Huh wow, that's pretty bare minimum.
Speaker 2: That's the other thing is he's not shooting very high
Speaker 2: and people are losing their ever loving minds.
Speaker 3: Over this worle.
Speaker 1: Well, that's great.
Speaker 3: Uh, Pope news when we come back.
Speaker 1: I love Pope news, unlike your non God fearing ass.
Speaker 2: I'm just not Catholic. I know Catholics. This is their
Speaker 2: supers a big deal.
Speaker 1: This is a big freaking.
Speaker 3: Deal for Christ's sake.
Speaker 1: You're Joe Biden. So I have heard stories from people
Speaker 1: who have been in meetings with Karen Bass that she
Speaker 1: is freaking steel she is steel balls, like she is
Speaker 1: a politician of the highest level when it comes to cutthroat,
Speaker 1: that this is exactly who she is. I'm surprised, honestly,
Speaker 1: when I heard that news on Friday. I was listening
Speaker 1: to you actually driving up here and I was surprised
Speaker 1: that it took the I thought that she'd get the
Speaker 1: acts quickly. And if you if you if you're good
Speaker 1: at reading people, or even not even good, if you're
Speaker 1: mediocre at reading people. When she came out and addressed
Speaker 1: Kristen going to the media and throwing Bass under the
Speaker 1: bus in the wake of the fire, saying that you know,
Speaker 1: the city failed us. We didn't have what we needed,
Speaker 1: and the mayor said, and then then the report came
Speaker 1: out that she was fired, and then the mayor comes
Speaker 1: out it was like, no, we had a great meeting
Speaker 1: and we talked. That was all total bs from go
Speaker 1: and like it was obvious to many people. I think
Speaker 1: at that moment that she was on borrowed time the
Speaker 1: fire chief after she leveled the mayor publicly like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and listen, kra Bass is a career politician. She's
Speaker 2: been at the state level. She was a member of Congress,
Speaker 2: I mean, she was Assembly speaker for so she's she's
Speaker 2: got the bona fides in terms.
Speaker 3: Of the the.
Speaker 2: Sharp knives if necessary, and that was that was not
Speaker 2: necessarily a surprise, But I think you're right, it was
Speaker 2: the timing of it that that chief Crowley lasted as
Speaker 2: long as she did after coming out on January tenth
Speaker 2: and suggesting that it was the city that failed the department.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of why I'm worried about your race
Speaker 1: for governor in the state of Washington. Per your dream
Speaker 1: last night. I just don't think you're an a hole
Speaker 1: enough to ascend that level of politics.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I wouldn't want it.
Speaker 1: I feel like you'd need me to help you be
Speaker 1: an a hole.
Speaker 2: To be there, and I would direct my communications director. Yes,
Speaker 2: Pope Francis, they say you had a RESTful night. You know,
Speaker 2: the Associated Press is on Pope death watch when every
Speaker 2: story that they write starts with Pope Francis woke up.
Speaker 2: They said the night went well, he's slept, that he
Speaker 2: is resting.
Speaker 1: Last week, my husband told me, oh, I got an
Speaker 1: alert the Pope. He's got the pneumonia and both lungs.
Speaker 1: And I thought he he had one lung because you
Speaker 1: said a couple of weeks ago You're like, he only
Speaker 1: has one lung left, and I'm like, oh, that's really bad.
Speaker 1: I totally believed you. You just made that up. Why
Speaker 1: would you make it up.
Speaker 3: I didn't make it up.
Speaker 2: It's that he had he had a portion of one lung.
Speaker 2: Oh when he was a kid.
Speaker 1: Okay, sorry, I was like, why would Gary?
Speaker 2: When he was twenty one years old, he had he
Speaker 2: had pneumonia and cysts in one of the lungs, so
Speaker 2: he had to have part of a lung X six.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well this is not his first issue. He has
Speaker 1: had serious health issues for a series of years. So
Speaker 1: it gets us to start talking about you know, the
Speaker 1: white smoke. Is it the white smoke or black smoke?
Speaker 1: It's white smoke, right, it comes out when the pope dies.
Speaker 1: I think it's white smoke. Why am I asking a
Speaker 1: non Catholic?
Speaker 3: I thought it was when the when the they pick
Speaker 3: who the I.
Speaker 1: Think there's smoke that comes out when that dies, when
Speaker 1: he dies or when a new pope is picked, I believe.
Speaker 1: But anyway, he's going to die. I think we should
Speaker 1: all come to grips with that. He's eighty eight years old.
Speaker 1: And then you've got the conclave. The rules of the conclave.
Speaker 1: There are one hundred and thirty eight electors of the
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty two cardinals. Why are some left out?
Speaker 1: Because only those under the age of eighty may take
Speaker 1: part in the secret ballot in the Sistine Chapel. Now,
Speaker 1: I haven't under the age of eighty, which is like
Speaker 1: which is you can see how many are are not
Speaker 1: right right over one hundred. So there are some front runners,
Speaker 1: some names that we can get into. Cardinal Pietro Peroline
Speaker 1: this is the Vatican Secretary of State since twenty thirteen.
Speaker 1: He's at the young age of seventy. He's the highest
Speaker 1: ranking cardinal in the electing conclave. Now, in the movie
Speaker 1: that just won the Golden Globe, was it?
Speaker 3: Well, no, last night it won the SAG Awards.
Speaker 1: SAG Awards. If I'm not mistaken, and I haven't seen
Speaker 1: the movie, it's about the conclave. It's called Conclave, and
Speaker 1: there's a pope in there that is a trans person,
Speaker 1: potentially the potential pope that's a potential trans person.
Speaker 3: I believe you Catholics make funny movies, so I don't know.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding? Every movie has to have a trans
Speaker 1: person in it. It's twenty twenty four. If you don't
Speaker 1: have a trans person in your movie, it does a
Speaker 1: guy too? Oh shoot d almost the bad word. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean. I mean, you look
Speaker 1: at all the nominated movies, and every one of them
Speaker 1: has a transperson.
Speaker 3: You have to I don't know when you started hating
Speaker 3: trans people.
Speaker 1: It's when you started hating women.
Speaker 3: Oh's it the same?
Speaker 1: Okay. So you've got that guy, he's been the Secretary.
Speaker 1: He's kind of like the safe choice. They say. He's
Speaker 1: not left or right when it comes to politics. He's
Speaker 1: a sensible, moderate figure. Then you've got Cardinal Peter erdu
Speaker 1: This is the cardinal I think looks a little too
Speaker 1: young to be the pope. This is the one who's
Speaker 1: a devout Marion. What does that mean? He devotes his
Speaker 1: practices to marry mother of g he's seventy two, but
Speaker 1: looks like he's lived a good life of clean living.
Speaker 1: He's Hungarian. He's a conservative, more conservative. He's opposed the
Speaker 1: practice of divorced or remarried Catholics getting communion. That's a
Speaker 1: big that's not going to fly, not in Hollywood, not
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagel, which looks
Speaker 1: Asian to me. He looks Asian to me. Oh he's Filipino. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: Philippino Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagel, Okay, listen, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to put anyone in a box. He's only sixty seven.
Speaker 1: That's a baby in pope years. A baby. He's criticized
Speaker 1: the church's attitude and language towards gay people, onwed mothers,
Speaker 1: divorced or remarried Catholic, so he's the opposite of the
Speaker 1: Marian guy. He's more progressive. Here's my pick, Cardinal Matteo
Speaker 1: Zoopie Zoopie. I like that a great name, right. He's
Speaker 1: been president of the EPISCO Conference, which is like Catholic
Speaker 1: Light of Italy, since May twenty twenty two. He's sixty nine.
Speaker 1: He was made a cardinal by Francis in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: He's been on a peace mission to Ukraine where he
Speaker 1: met Zelenski. He he's he's got positive views of the
Speaker 1: LGBTQ community as well. He's kind of a people blazer.
Speaker 1: And then a bunch of other guys. Well, I guess
Speaker 1: just the one. Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke is the other name.
Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of him. He doesn't look
Speaker 1: as cool as the other guy.
Speaker 3: I can't believe we're handicapping the next pope.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm all with Tea, I'm all about team
Speaker 1: mateo keo Zoopy. I mean, come on, think, I think
Speaker 1: as a global community we need a pope named Matteo Zook.
Speaker 3: They're going to change his name.
Speaker 2: I mean, this pope's name, Pope Francis is Jorge Brigolio,
Speaker 2: and they changed to the Francis. I couldn't find anywhere
Speaker 2: that the smoke is used to announce the death. But
Speaker 2: the black smoke means there's no decision, the fumta bianca.
Speaker 2: The white smoke means there is a new pope.
Speaker 1: Ah, so no pope. No smoke on the death.
Speaker 3: Of the pope. No pope smoke on the death.
Speaker 1: Wow, what happens when the pope dies? They do anything?
Speaker 1: They they do make anything.
Speaker 3: I don't think they smoke anything.
Speaker 2: They do make an official announcement from the head of
Speaker 2: the Vatican's Health Department and the Cardinal Chamberlain of the
Speaker 2: Holy Roman Church, who becomes then the de facto administrator
Speaker 2: for them.
Speaker 1: I feel like there should be some sort of pomp
Speaker 1: and circumstance. It's, after all, the church, and they do
Speaker 1: do the big funeral in the procession of the or anything.
Speaker 3: Hi, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 1: If the pope passes, can we expect another conclave. The
Speaker 1: musical boy, Yeah, I think that you can't do that
Speaker 1: in this day and age, you know, for Christs sakes,
Speaker 1: give a try.
Speaker 2: Everybody sing along in the Vatican, waking up in the morning,
Speaker 2: Gonna be poke, gonna be close to God, Gotta have
Speaker 2: a ring, Gonna have my slippers, blessing everything.
Speaker 1: Time is going ticking on and on everything.
Speaker 3: You rush and gotta get down to the.
Speaker 2: Systeine, gonna make the cross. I say my prayers in the.
Speaker 1: Front pew, sitting in the back pew. We need to
Speaker 1: update the sun.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's Francis, It's Francis, Francis Francis.
Speaker 3: The old days.
Speaker 1: Hey, you sound like you're going through puberty in that song.
Speaker 3: I definitely was. I think.
Speaker 1: Have you seen the AI images of President Trump kissing
Speaker 1: Elon Musk's feet in the Oval Office? Obviously AI generated video?
Speaker 1: Long Live the Real King is the bold caption. Apparently
Speaker 1: hackers hijacked the TVs at the US Department of Housing
Speaker 1: in Urban Development and they are playing this video kind
Speaker 1: of as a pushback to Trump and Elon Musk telling
Speaker 1: federal workers earn your keep, tell us what it is
Speaker 1: you do here Bob Well. Now, the HUD spokesperson is
Speaker 1: saying that this is another waste of taxpayer dollars and
Speaker 1: resources and that everyone involved will face serious consequences. The
Speaker 1: footage is very bizarre. It's a kind of cringey. It
Speaker 1: is playing as professional government officials strolled down the corridors
Speaker 1: business as usual, while Trump, on all these screens is
Speaker 1: chomping on Elon Musk's toes. There you have it. I
Speaker 1: would love that if that could happen in our building,
Speaker 1: if all of those screens would make inside jokes involving management,
Speaker 1: I'd love that. I think that would be a real
Speaker 1: boost for morale, don't you.
Speaker 3: I do think there? We know the people who have
Speaker 3: access to those screens. We do.
Speaker 1: But wouldn't it be cooler if like our bosses were
Speaker 1: okay with it, Like if they were like, yeah, we
Speaker 1: get that you guys dig making fun of us, so sure,
Speaker 1: go ahead and put images of us eating each other's
Speaker 1: toes whatever. I mean. It doesn't have to be the
Speaker 1: toe thing. It could be anything really up with a.
Speaker 3: Couple some soft egos around here. I don't know how
Speaker 3: that would go. What what are.
Speaker 1: You talking about?
Speaker 3: Are you serious? I am I've been really serious, really
Speaker 3: serious about that.
Speaker 2: People who would not take kindly to that, what would
Speaker 2: you say you do?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Pray Gary. Just to let you and Elon Musk in
Speaker 5: the world know, I didn't do Jack last week, and
Speaker 5: I'm damn proud of it. I worked hard at not
Speaker 5: doing Jack. Some people don't do jack and they just
Speaker 5: don't do anything. I put some effort into it, and
Speaker 5: I think that needs to be recognized. Take care Shannon,
Speaker 5: praying for your mom.
Speaker 3: Take care of by.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's very sweet. That's the whole point of the movie.
Speaker 1: By the way, Office Space is that he is valuable
Speaker 1: to this company of pencil pushers and data crunchers. He's
Speaker 1: valuable when he decides not to do any of the work.
Speaker 1: That's the whole point of the movie. That's what makes
Speaker 1: it brilliant.
Speaker 3: It's a piece of American cinematic graphic history. Is that
Speaker 3: we didn't do three more hours.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we don't have time for terror in this guy,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna forget. We'll have to get a lot
Speaker 1: of them later in the show, a lot in there.
Speaker 3: Five different terror in the Sky stories we're gonna get.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Mayor Karen Bass has removed the fire chief.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about this absolute baller move that she made
Speaker 2: and whether or not it was a good deal bad deal,
Speaker 2: and kind of the fear around city Hall now that
Speaker 2: Karen Bass is a I guess firing everybody who knows.
Speaker 1: Also, I came across the article this morning because our
Speaker 1: computers and our devices listen to us. Here's the headline,
Speaker 1: the six most dangerous expired condiments in your kitchen. The
Speaker 1: reason I was given this article by the Internet is
Speaker 1: because it probably has listened to me get in trouble
Speaker 1: for throwing things out in my mother's home, which I
Speaker 1: think we all get in trouble with when we go
Speaker 1: to the parents' house and we find expired things or
Speaker 1: things that we deem to be no longer good. Well,
Speaker 1: but this article was kind of shocking to me. Things
Speaker 1: that you thought that probably didn't expire, they do. So
Speaker 1: we'll get to that as well.
Speaker 2: Gary and Shannon will continue right after this. You've been
Speaker 2: listening to the Gary and Shannon Show. You can always
Speaker 2: hear us live on KFI AM six forty nine am
