Speaker 3: In terms ofpply, this is Gary and Shannon and you're
Speaker 3: listening to KFI AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon
Speaker 3: Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4: Well, we've got a triple.
Speaker 3: Murder conviction in Orange County for thirty three year old
Speaker 3: Frank Felix. Prosecutors laid out their case Felix Frank, we'll
Speaker 3: call him Frank. When he was about twenty five, he
Speaker 3: met a seventeen year old girl when she was introduced
Speaker 3: to the furry subculture. Frank legally entered into what prosecutors
Speaker 3: called a romantic relationship with the minor, but her mom.
Speaker 3: The girl's mom and stepfather did not approve of the relationship.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: In fact, Jennifer and Christopher Yost, the parents, had ordered
Speaker 5: Frank Felix to stay away from their seventeen year old daughter.
Speaker 5: At one point, Felix actually wrote to the girl quote,
Speaker 5: you are the only one and thing that makes me happy.
Speaker 3: He hired an army mechanic at the time to kill
Speaker 3: the parents and a friend of the family. The army
Speaker 3: mechanic was also in the furry community. He was a bronie.
Speaker 3: What is a bronie. A bronie is a man who
Speaker 3: is a fan of the My Little Pony series.
Speaker 5: Do you remember yesterday we were talking about the teacher
Speaker 5: who treated the thirteen year old boy as her crystal meth,
Speaker 5: or an effort to hurt him as her crystal meth,
Speaker 5: like she couldn't be without him.
Speaker 4: That's how you feel about My Little Ponies. I want
Speaker 4: to know that.
Speaker 5: I want to see a report on somebody who does that,
Speaker 5: on somebody who who is a fan of the My
Speaker 5: Little Pony series, to the point that that's a drive,
Speaker 5: don't I.
Speaker 3: Will put together a research paper for you and present
Speaker 3: it in the next segment.
Speaker 4: I don't want pictures. No, no, no, I'm not.
Speaker 3: Going to show you pictures, but I will do a
Speaker 3: whole There's there's so much information about Bronie's out there.
Speaker 4: If you want it, I can provide it for you.
Speaker 4: But does it get into the why? Yes? Really?
Speaker 5: Yeah, now that I've said that out loud, I'm afraid
Speaker 5: to read it.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 3: I will parse through it and provide you the need
Speaker 3: to know things, and I'll maybe protect you from some
Speaker 3: of the things you don't need to know. So mom
Speaker 3: and dad ordered this guy to stay away from their daughter.
Speaker 3: He goes to the bronie and says, here's a gun,
Speaker 3: here's ammo kill these people.
Speaker 5: So both Jennifer and Christopher killed in bed basically. In fact,
Speaker 5: Christopher was trying to get out of the house when
Speaker 5: he was killed. That friend, Billy Butcher or Bouchet, was
Speaker 5: killed while he.
Speaker 4: Was Billy Bouchet. Isn't that an Adam Sandler. That's Bobby Bouche.
Speaker 5: Oh, Bobby Bouche was while he was sleeping on the couch.
Speaker 3: Their two younger children were asleep in the home and
Speaker 3: not harmed during the shootings, but awoke to find their
Speaker 3: parents dead.
Speaker 5: The daughter, again, who was seventeen at the time, did
Speaker 5: testify during an earlier trial, but did not take the
Speaker 5: stand in Frank Felix's trials. She had claimed that her
Speaker 5: stepfather sexually abused her and that her mother verbally and
Speaker 5: physically abused her. Both Frank Felix and the gunman this
Speaker 5: Joshua Costa, told police after the killings that they were
Speaker 5: actually trying to save the daughter from her parents. But
Speaker 5: obviously parents can't testify, can't be cross examined. There's no
Speaker 5: way to prove one way or the other if those
Speaker 5: allegations of abuse were true.
Speaker 4: This all started when mom and dad entered into the
Speaker 4: furry community and befriended this guy when he became obsessed
Speaker 4: with their daughter. The takeaway, I.
Speaker 3: Would say, not that I'm victim blaming, but if you've
Speaker 3: minor children, maybe uh, maybe stay out of the furry community.
Speaker 3: Maybe don't expose your children to grown adults who like
Speaker 3: to dress up as my little ponies, because the chances
Speaker 3: are and I know I'll get a lot of blowback
Speaker 3: from our friends who are part of the furry community.
Speaker 4: There's something else going on there.
Speaker 3: Probably probably something going on there, probably something that happened
Speaker 3: or didn't happen in childhood that makes you want to
Speaker 3: dress up like a grown adult stuffed animal.
Speaker 5: Okay, now that now you're tapping into this vein that
Speaker 5: I'm trying to figure out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what is that? I don't know. But can we
Speaker 4: leave veins out of it? Well, I mean it more
Speaker 4: in the vein of.
Speaker 5: Maybe a gold mine, like you hit a vein of
Speaker 5: gold or a silver mine.
Speaker 4: I think I did.
Speaker 3: But if you want to get into the psychology of
Speaker 3: the furry community. I'm super happy to break that down
Speaker 3: for you. That's a same In fact, Psychology Today has
Speaker 3: an article with the headline what's the deal with Furries?
Speaker 5: That is exactly what I want. That's the exact question
Speaker 5: I have in my.
Speaker 4: Own Okay, I want to do that when we come back.
Speaker 5: Well, and how about this this other guy that was
Speaker 5: kind of a furry insurance fraudster.
Speaker 3: This I get like this, there's money in at the
Speaker 3: end of this furry game. Look, Gates won't get confirmed.
Speaker 3: Everybody knows that.
Speaker 4: But then why that's then what's the play?
Speaker 6: Then?
Speaker 4: What's the play?
Speaker 5: Somebody had to have got Susie Wiles appears to be
Speaker 5: the smart person in the room. She had to say
Speaker 5: to the former president now president, she had to say
Speaker 5: to him, Listen, Matt Gates has been a loyal confidant
Speaker 5: of yours and has been a defender of yours in
Speaker 5: the House of Representatives. But there's no way on God's
Speaker 5: green Earth that the Senate is going to confirm that
Speaker 5: guy to be the attorney.
Speaker 3: I think Trump thinks he's got power enough power over
Speaker 3: the Senate to have them confirm him. I think Trump
Speaker 3: saw the power he had over Congress when he got
Speaker 3: them to ditch any sort of border movement legislation from
Speaker 3: the Democrats, and sandbagged that that he feels emboldened with
Speaker 3: that Senate and he thinks he can push it through,
Speaker 3: where as Susie Wilds, being the smart person in the room,
Speaker 3: is like, oh, sure, sure, sure, but knows full well
Speaker 3: that Gates will not be confirmed.
Speaker 5: So then she's the one place playing the chest where
Speaker 5: she's gonna She's going to make it clear to him.
Speaker 5: It's like it will be made clear to him that
Speaker 5: he doesn't have as much power as he thinks he has.
Speaker 3: It's like your eight year old son comes home and
Speaker 3: he goes, I am going to find all the cotton
Speaker 3: candy in the world and I'm going to eat it
Speaker 3: for dinner. And you're like, okay, have fun with that,
Speaker 3: knowing it'll never happen. To put up a fight, you're
Speaker 3: not gonna say no, you absolutely can't go get all
Speaker 3: the cotton candy in the world and eat it for dinner,
Speaker 3: because you know what's never gonna happen.
Speaker 4: So you just let the kid have his dream. I
Speaker 4: guess that's one way to do it.
Speaker 5: Hey, Gary and Shannon, just to let you know. There's
Speaker 5: actually a documentary on Bronie's.
Speaker 4: I believe it's on Netflix.
Speaker 5: So you should talk about that on what you're watching
Speaker 5: Wednesday next week. Gary, I know it's not on Netflix,
Speaker 5: but it's called Bronie's The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of
Speaker 5: My Little Pony.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I was trying to say to you,
Speaker 3: is that if you want information about Bronie's, it is
Speaker 3: wildly available.
Speaker 5: I I don't think I do.
Speaker 4: You said you? Actually I know it.
Speaker 5: I know, well, in your in your little illustration, the
Speaker 5: eight year old wanted to eat all the cotton candy
Speaker 5: in the world as well. But once you start taking
Speaker 5: a couple of bites, you realize that ain't gonna feel
Speaker 5: good by the end.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think it's I don't think you really
Speaker 4: want to know.
Speaker 6: Okay, you just lost me. I'm so sick of hearing
Speaker 6: about free things. It's just disgusting. Why do people do this?
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 6: This guy at the library worked at it was a fox.
Speaker 6: Bobby was a fox, acted like a fox. It was disgusting.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, I just don't get it. Yeah, how would
Speaker 6: you give me the Beatles, you know, and a cup
Speaker 6: of tea and a.
Speaker 4: Good book The Beatles, I'm cool and you and Gary Yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I just love that line. When I used to work
Speaker 3: at the library, there was.
Speaker 4: A guy there. He was a fox. Thought he was
Speaker 4: a fox, acted like a fox.
Speaker 1: Made hey, Gary and Shannon did not give these people
Speaker 1: any oxygen.
Speaker 5: Let them think their cats and dogs and whatever the
Speaker 5: hell they think they are.
Speaker 4: Don't give them any oxens.
Speaker 1: That's what they want.
Speaker 7: Fing weirdled.
Speaker 3: This is my favorite story of the day thus far.
Speaker 3: Four people have been arrested this week. Yesterday in Fact,
Speaker 3: on suspicion of insurance fraud and conspiracy. They claimed a
Speaker 3: bear got into their vehicles and damaged them.
Speaker 4: However, there was no bear.
Speaker 3: It was called Operation bear Claw. This was the California
Speaker 3: Department of Insurance. An insurance company suspected fraud when the suspects,
Speaker 3: who live in Glendale and Valley Village, reported that a
Speaker 3: bear got into their roles in Lake Arrowhead and the
Speaker 3: insurance companies like this seems weird, so they call up
Speaker 3: the California Department Insurance and Operation bear Claw is born.
Speaker 3: There was video footage provided with the insurance claims, and
Speaker 3: in the video footage you do see a bear. However,
Speaker 3: it's kind of clear that it's not really a bear.
Speaker 3: It's a person in a bear costume.
Speaker 4: Damn it, Darryl, you didn't look enough like a bear.
Speaker 4: How would you do that?
Speaker 3: I mean, I've seen bears. I guess you would like
Speaker 3: you have to go like this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but see but I think yes, but your arms
Speaker 5: are not I mean your arms are not. No, they're
Speaker 5: not long enough, not long enough. Yeah, your legs are
Speaker 5: longer than your arms are. So your your bear behind
Speaker 5: is sticking up in the air.
Speaker 4: That's tough. That's tough. Yeah, So you would.
Speaker 3: Need a short legged person, is what you would need?
Speaker 3: A long waisted person, right, right? Do we know anyone
Speaker 3: with short legs.
Speaker 4: And long arms?
Speaker 3: And yeah, so that's who you need for your bear Heist,
Speaker 3: Deputy Press Secretary at the Department of Insurance said, this
Speaker 3: is definitely unique, but we have seen through our cases
Speaker 3: that people will do a lot of things to try
Speaker 3: and get an undeserved insurance payout. Aren't there people who
Speaker 3: like to walk like an animal on all fours?
Speaker 4: I feel like I've seen videos. It's kind of the
Speaker 4: furry thing isn't it.
Speaker 3: Not all furry people can be people that walk on
Speaker 3: all fours. Interesting, there are cultures. There's a family in Turkey.
Speaker 4: Yeah that sounds about right here it is. It was
Speaker 4: on sixty minutes and they prefer to walk on all fours. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's fascinating.
Speaker 3: Their hands got anyway, they'd be good at this, right,
Speaker 3: Leslie Stall.
Speaker 4: She walks on all fours? Hey, what's going on with
Speaker 4: Chanel Banks?
Speaker 5: Look at these are the people that one looks like
Speaker 5: a bear. Again the hind quarters are too elevated. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that don't look like no bear. That hurts my neck
Speaker 5: to look at it. Absolutely, South Africa. This is We
Speaker 5: haven't done a lot of South African news lately, but
Speaker 5: South Africa's government says it's not helping an estimated four
Speaker 5: thousand illegal miners inside a closed mine in the Northwest
Speaker 5: Province as part of an official policy against illegal mining.
Speaker 5: Miners in the mine shaft in still Funtyne are believed
Speaker 5: to be suffering from a lack of food and water
Speaker 5: because police closed off the entrances used to transport their
Speaker 5: supplies underground. It's part of a police operation including cutting
Speaker 5: off minor supplies to force them to return to the
Speaker 5: surface so that they could be arrested. In the past
Speaker 5: few weeks, about a thousand of them have come up
Speaker 5: at various mines in the Northwest Province. Many were reported
Speaker 5: to be weak and hungry because they've gone for weeks
Speaker 5: without basic supplies.
Speaker 3: The FBI in Houston says it's arrested a man giving
Speaker 3: support to ISIS agencies as twenty eight year old on
Speaker 3: us Sayid is accused of attempting to provide material support
Speaker 3: to ISIS, admitting to planning a terrorist attack on US soil,
Speaker 3: alleged to have been researching how to conduct an attack
Speaker 3: on local military recruiting centers. Offering his home as safe
Speaker 3: sanctuary to ISIS operatives.
Speaker 4: Seems a little pass, doesn't it. We're still playing that game.
Speaker 5: More than eight hundred million people around the world have
Speaker 5: the diabetes eight one hundred million people. Scientists said the
Speaker 5: increase from nineteen ninety to twenty twenty two was the
Speaker 5: largest in low and middle income countries, and that a
Speaker 5: lack of treatment has become very concerning.
Speaker 4: Now I want a cheeseburger. The rates good.
Speaker 5: The rates of diabetes and adults doubled from about seven
Speaker 5: percent in nineteen ninety to fourteen percent in twenty twenty two,
Speaker 5: so the total is at about eight hundred million.
Speaker 3: Ars really do a craving for greasy foods. Whenever we
Speaker 3: talk about diabetes, as.
Speaker 5: Thing is you don't eat greasy foods every day. No,
Speaker 5: I do, not, very rare And that's okay. I mean,
Speaker 5: that's the thing is that if you I love, I
Speaker 5: love to eat. You've seen me make messes, but I
Speaker 5: don't do it every day.
Speaker 3: Well, I love to eat bad foods, but I just
Speaker 3: don't eat that much of them.
Speaker 4: You do leave a lot on your plate.
Speaker 3: Like I love all the bad stuff, all the processed stuff,
Speaker 3: I just don't eat huge quantities of it. Gossip Girl
Speaker 3: actress Chanelle Banks is going through something. She was reported missing.
Speaker 3: Her family said they hadn't seen her since October thirtieth.
Speaker 3: The law enforcement community got involved, found her safe. The
Speaker 3: family said, no, that's not her, which is odd, And
Speaker 3: now she has taken to Instagram to say that, well,
Speaker 3: you can tell that she's definitely going through something. I
Speaker 3: don't know if it's a bipolar episode, but that's certain,
Speaker 3: is what it sounds like.
Speaker 5: Her husband told Channel five that he got involved. Well,
Speaker 5: I mean, how do you not be involved with the
Speaker 5: fact that your wife disappears for a time. But basically
Speaker 5: she told him, don't tell anybody.
Speaker 4: I'm leaving.
Speaker 8: She decided to go on solo trip, and before then
Speaker 8: she had decided she didn't want to talk with the
Speaker 8: family anymore due to past issues that they've had, childhood stuff,
Speaker 8: with all that stuff, her family's had issues.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she was.
Speaker 8: Adamant that I didn't tell her, and also that her
Speaker 8: family especial mother as a history of using police to
Speaker 8: intimate her when she when she stops.
Speaker 4: Talking with them.
Speaker 5: She also, as you know, when the police confirmed, at
Speaker 5: least the LAPD had said yeah, we found her and
Speaker 5: she's safe. They're under no obligation to tell the family
Speaker 5: where this adult woman is, just that she's safe if
Speaker 5: they were concerned about it. Then the family came out
Speaker 5: and said, well, that's probably not even the real person laped.
Speaker 7: And Missing Person's Division in a Los Angeles area have
Speaker 7: to go ahead and close the case. They are confident
Speaker 7: that they have seen her. However we are not. That's
Speaker 7: not sufficient enough for us.
Speaker 5: So Chanelle actually took to Instagram, like Shannon said, and
Speaker 5: I was reading through the comments that she made about
Speaker 5: being safe, and if I was a family member of hers,
Speaker 5: it would not make me comfortable. It does not relieve
Speaker 5: the concern I would have about her. She said that
Speaker 5: she met with the police verified that not only is
Speaker 5: she okay, but she's finally free from her mother and
Speaker 5: her family. And they say, once you're free in Christ Jesus,
Speaker 5: you're free. Indeed, so I told my husband six days
Speaker 5: ago I was going to get baptized by one of
Speaker 5: my favorite pastors, Pastor Robert Clancy. He drove me to
Speaker 5: the airport and that I was off for a week.
Speaker 5: But I also saw it as an opportunity to escape
Speaker 5: my cage. God said, I'm going to give you some money,
Speaker 5: and I was shocked when it appeared just like he said.
Speaker 5: Then he said, capital h, I want you to move.
Speaker 5: So I made my exodus and took my freedom ride
Speaker 5: first class on Spirit Air No Less to the Promised Land.
Speaker 4: Listen.
Speaker 5: I don't know much about Chanelle, and I don't know
Speaker 5: much about what she's going through or the abuse that
Speaker 5: she says that she has suffered at the hands of
Speaker 5: her family.
Speaker 4: But she's not doing very well, and this is one
Speaker 4: of those.
Speaker 5: The fact that she's showed up in Gossip Girl, right,
Speaker 5: and blue Bloods means that it's going to rise to
Speaker 5: the level of getting some news coverage. But it's one
Speaker 5: of those where, once you see it, you kind of
Speaker 5: think to yourself, well, I wish I didn't know that.
Speaker 5: This is a woman who's going through something in her family,
Speaker 5: whether they maybe they're going through something too. You know,
Speaker 5: maybe there is truth to the idea that there was
Speaker 5: some abuse in the household, but this is one of
Speaker 5: those ugly family things that's being played out in front
Speaker 5: of everybody.
Speaker 4: Gossip Girl is such a great show. I don't even
Speaker 4: know such a great show. No, you wouldn't. Is that
Speaker 4: not for you? Is that the one where what's her
Speaker 4: name got her start? Yes? Lily like Lively? That was
Speaker 4: her first show?
Speaker 3: You're like, is that the where the pretty one got
Speaker 3: her start? That's essentially what I heard. Yeah, you can
Speaker 3: even remember her name? Does just remember her legs? She's
Speaker 3: married to a Canadian Ryan Reynolds. Yeah, the soccer guy.
Speaker 3: The soccer guy football, the Wrexham guy, right, Deadpool and Deadpool?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I would have said Deadpool long before Wrexham.
Speaker 4: Well, I thought you liked that show. I do. It's great.
Speaker 3: We sound like my grandparents. Probably all right, doctor's appointment. Yeah,
Speaker 3: what's that sore?
Speaker 4: You gotta get that checked out. Do you want some jam?
Speaker 4: Do you want some jam on that toast?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 4: Do you have pepper jelly? I love pepper jelly.
Speaker 3: You know you can't have pepper jelly with yours.
Speaker 4: I have a little bit. I'll just double up on
Speaker 4: my Annison.
Speaker 3: You can't take your aison with your bloodpinners don't do
Speaker 3: they still do anison. I have no idea. I don't
Speaker 3: even know. I'm glad. I don't know that at this juncture. Okay,
Speaker 3: So Huntington Beach, there is a woman who put out
Speaker 3: an ad for a room for rent, and it was
Speaker 3: the beginning of a beautiful friendship. And now they've gone
Speaker 3: viral on TikTok. We'll talk about it when.
Speaker 4: We come back.
Speaker 3: Annison had caffeine in it. Sure, aspirin with caffeine. That's
Speaker 3: the way to do it. Chris Little taught me that
Speaker 3: years ago. You got to make sure your painkillers got
Speaker 3: caffeine in it.
Speaker 4: All right, So this entire commercial break, how long was that? Like?
Speaker 4: What six seven minutes? Something like that?
Speaker 3: Entire time you were watching something and I just kind
Speaker 3: of was tuned out.
Speaker 4: I'm like reading through stuff.
Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden, I hear Bronie's And
Speaker 3: I had seven Brony friends and we're all Bronie's. You've
Speaker 3: been watching, You've been You've been intaking Bronie Info for
Speaker 3: seven minutes, and your your face when I looked up,
Speaker 3: was just fixated on the screen like you were hyper
Speaker 3: focused on whatever it was you were watching, which turned
Speaker 3: out to be BRONI.
Speaker 4: Right, Info Bronie.
Speaker 5: It's the trailer for Bronie's The extremely unexpected adult fans
Speaker 5: of My Little Pony. It's a full documentary that was
Speaker 5: put together.
Speaker 4: Are you feeling something yes, okay, deep deep pride okay
Speaker 4: in my son.
Speaker 5: Despite he not choosing education as a path forward for
Speaker 5: his future.
Speaker 4: He didn't want to go to college. That's like, that's okay.
Speaker 3: You just sounded like a politician not choosing education as
Speaker 3: a path forward for his future.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean. He didn't want to go
Speaker 4: to college. You don't want to go to college.
Speaker 5: I tried to dumb it down, and I was concerned, like,
Speaker 5: what's his future going to be?
Speaker 4: Like thought he was going to end up a bronie.
Speaker 5: No, no, no, that never would have entered my mind.
Speaker 5: But I'm happy and pro he has a lot of
Speaker 5: good friends. He's got close friendships. He's in a relationship
Speaker 5: with a young woman, and he's a hard worker, heart,
Speaker 5: very hard worker. He's creative, he's funny, brother Marry, intelligent,
Speaker 5: and he's not a bronie.
Speaker 6: He is not.
Speaker 5: I guarantee you he is not, although he does have
Speaker 5: a beautiful mane of hair that if he wanted to,
Speaker 5: he would be.
Speaker 4: The most beautiful bronie.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if my little pony has a
Speaker 2: hand in changing.
Speaker 7: How people see things.
Speaker 6: I think it makes his little tweaks on people to
Speaker 6: sort of go oh.
Speaker 4: These bronis are taking these lessons to heart.
Speaker 6: We need to allow men to be sensitive and to
Speaker 6: care about one another.
Speaker 3: I had so many favorite my little ponies. I loved
Speaker 3: Twilight Sparkle, I think it was Starlight Glimmer, and then
Speaker 3: there was.
Speaker 4: Sweetie Bell. I'm I'm having a hard time.
Speaker 5: I want to say, I'm happy that each of the
Speaker 5: little strong Heart has found a community they talk about.
Speaker 5: Some of them didn't have friends at all until they
Speaker 5: found the Brownie community, and now they're just surrounded by
Speaker 5: friends and commonly thinking people, and that is a good
Speaker 5: path forward.
Speaker 3: I loved playing with my little ponies. Make you feel good?
Speaker 3: Apparently apple Jack, Remember apple Jack? No, I think apple
Speaker 3: Jack would be the one your son would dress as
Speaker 3: because he's got that beautiful golden hair.
Speaker 4: Or surprise, surprise, my little pony also the gold that's
Speaker 4: the aim of a pony. Surprise.
Speaker 5: Brian Blackman likes to sit out on the front porch
Speaker 5: with his landlord Elaine, down on Huntington Beach. She is
Speaker 5: the original owner of a two story house purchased back
Speaker 5: in nineteen seventy six, a short walk from the beach
Speaker 5: over there on Ninth Street.
Speaker 4: She's eighty seven.
Speaker 5: She saw a couple of guys in their swim trunks
Speaker 5: happened to walk by in June, and Brian says that
Speaker 5: Elaine interrupted the conversation, Hey, do you guys need to
Speaker 5: use the water hose to get the sand off before
Speaker 5: you get into your car? And Brian thought, what are
Speaker 5: you doing, Elaine, but then started to get up and
Speaker 5: give them the water hose and she pushed my chest
Speaker 5: and said, no, no, I've got this, and she started
Speaker 5: spraying them off in all of the appropriate areas, he
Speaker 5: added with a laugh.
Speaker 3: He found that that was hilarious, and he got some video.
Speaker 3: He added some music and text uploaded to his TikTok account,
Speaker 3: went to his AA meeting. He gets out of the
Speaker 3: meeting and the has got more than one hundred thousand views. Anyway,
Speaker 3: he keeps uploading these videos of this woman, his landlord,
Speaker 3: because she's just kind of this funny older lady, and
Speaker 3: she says funny stuff and they are a hit, and
Speaker 3: their relationship is a hit, and their interactions are a
Speaker 3: hit because everyone likes an unlikely friendship. He's even made
Speaker 3: T shirts with her face on them, with one of
Speaker 3: her favorite sayings, her trademark sayings, he must have me
Speaker 3: confused with someone who gives an s. She has two
Speaker 3: grown daughters who live nearby. She's got seven grandchildren, five
Speaker 3: great grandchildren.
Speaker 4: But you know, she was lonely.
Speaker 3: And then she had him rent the room and he
Speaker 3: ended up getting sober.
Speaker 4: He will be sober a year.
Speaker 3: In January, and he thinks that one of the reasons
Speaker 3: is because of his friendship with his landlord.
Speaker 5: Well, he rented a room from her after a series
Speaker 5: of kind of ins and outs and living in the
Speaker 5: car at times and not living in the car at times.
Speaker 5: He rents a room from her and explains at one
Speaker 5: point that he's got to go out on tour. He
Speaker 5: apparently works in something called the audio video industry, which
Speaker 5: is very vague, but he tells her that he's going
Speaker 5: to go out on tour, when in fact he was
Speaker 5: supposed to go to a thirty day rehab. He had
Speaker 5: a bad experience at rehab and comes back to come
Speaker 5: live with her in this rented room and decides to
Speaker 5: tell her the truth about what happened and where he was.
Speaker 5: And he said, I don't you know would I have
Speaker 5: stayed sober if she kicked me out?
Speaker 4: And he says, I don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 5: I just know it worked out in a way that
Speaker 5: she helped me continue to stay sober and change my
Speaker 5: life around. And her comment, Elaine's comment, was well, I
Speaker 5: didn't like his tattoos, but I overlooked it and I
Speaker 5: had absolutely no awareness of his addiction because to me,
Speaker 5: he was always just fine. And she said, I have
Speaker 5: a family of alcoholics. They're recovered, but I know all
Speaker 5: of the son and he was covering it.
Speaker 4: Very well.
Speaker 3: So I was talking about my little ponies.
Speaker 4: That's a beautiful story. I love that story. Tell you
Speaker 4: about my little ponies.
Speaker 3: And then I got started thinking about care Bears because
Speaker 3: when I played with my little ponies around the same
Speaker 3: time I played with care Bears, you know, the care Bears,
Speaker 3: Tender Heart Bear, Secret Bear, good Luck Bear, Share Bear,
Speaker 3: Funshine Bear. Anyway, and I was wondering, is there like
Speaker 3: a Bronie community for care Bear fans that are men,
Speaker 3: And in fact there is, and it's they're call themselves
Speaker 3: belly Bros or care dudes, and apparently they are adversaries
Speaker 3: to the Bronies.
Speaker 4: The Bronies don't like the belly Bros. They're gonna be
Speaker 4: a like a war. Well they're they don't get along
Speaker 4: because dudes are dudes. At the end of the day.
Speaker 3: Aggression you can't hide it, you can't dress it up
Speaker 3: as a my little Pony, Nora, a care Bear and
Speaker 3: not still be a dude.
Speaker 5: Dudes are built for war, that's right. No matter what
Speaker 5: their outside costume may be, if.
Speaker 3: Your Funshine Bear or your surprise my little Pony, at
Speaker 3: the end of the day, you're still a dude. So
Speaker 3: takeaway guys, remember what you learned this week on the
Speaker 3: Gary and Shannon Show. We get to that on Fridays,
Speaker 3: So tomorrow we will provide that for you. Maybe you
Speaker 3: learn Peanut didn't have rabies. Maybe you learn that Bronie
