That 9 00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:24.320 party itself is going to be next Wednesday at the 10 00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:26.800 iHeartRadio Theater right across the street over there at Great 11 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.760 Little Venue to check out new bands, old bands, whatever, 12 00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:32.880 and their new releases. So we're going to give away 13 00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:37.079 two pairs of tickets to the Illumineers album release party. 14 00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:41.640 Also tickets to JT. Miller's Irvine improv sets this weekend. 15 00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:45.520 He's got two shows tonight, two shows tomorrow, show on Sunday, 16 00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:47.960 and TJ is actually going to be in studio with 17 00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:50.320 us a little bit later in the show, so that'll 18 00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:53.679 be very fun. There's a lot going on right after 19 00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:56.479 this segment. We're going to get into the whole discussion 20 00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:58.679 about what's going on between the United States and Russia. 21 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.000 It appears that we're closer now that we've been in 22 00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:05.400 a very long time to some sort of a ceasefire deal. 23 00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:08.959 When it comes to Russia and the aggression against Ukraine. 24 00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:13.040 There's a lot of pushback though, because President Trump had 25 00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:16.959 suggested in comments earlier in the week that Ukraine caused this, 26 00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:21.760 or that Ukraine started this when Russia invaded three years ago, 27 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.319 and just about everybody is pushing back. He's kind of 28 00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:28.439 out on a limb on this one, and it hasn't 29 00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.159 made sense to me. I've tried to figure out what 30 00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:33.719 kind of angle he's going for all week, and now 31 00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:37.879 there's some pretty high profile conservatives who are also saying, 32 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.040 this makes no sense. You're saying it completely wrong or 33 00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:43.680 I completely disagree with you. So we'll get into some 34 00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:48.480 of that and how that is impacting those ongoing relations. 35 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:53.599 Luigi Mangioni, remember that name. Luigi Mangioni is doing court today. 36 00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:58.079 He is accused of shooting that United Healthcare CEO in 37 00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:01.480 New York City and then lee everybody on about a 38 00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:03.040 five day hunt for him. 39 00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:04.359 He's scheduled to be in court today. 40 00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:08.240 Prosecutors and his defense attorneys are expected to do a 41 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:11.120 bunch of updates and status reports of the case to 42 00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:14.159 Judge Gregory Carrow. He could set deadlines for some of 43 00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:19.400 the pre trial paperwork, possibly even a trial date, which 44 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:24.479 would be pretty amazing. The Washington Post is reporting today 45 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:28.039 that President Trump is in the process of, or will 46 00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:32.479 begin the process of dissolving the leadership at the US 47 00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:38.520 Postal Service. He wants to combine the USPS into its 48 00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:41.800 I guess he wants to put it into the Department 49 00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:45.560 of Commerce and under the new Secretary, Howard Lutnick. 50 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:47.840 So he's expected to issue an. 51 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:52.319 Executive order, maybe even today, to fire the members of 52 00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:54.319 the governing board of the US Postal Service and then 53 00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:58.520 put everything under the Commerce Department. And then a little 54 00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:03.039 fun little fact. If you were flying an Australian airliner 55 00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:08.000 over the Tasman Sea between Australia and New Zealand, you 56 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:13.199 got a very strange warning that the Chinese Navy were 57 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:18.719 doing was doing We're doing a secret live fire exercise. 58 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:24.319 The Australian Defence Minister. The Air Services Regulator in Australia 59 00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:27.599 said that they were warning commercial pilots of the potential 60 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:31.240 hazard and airspace you know, live ammunition because these Chinese 61 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.439 warships were doing exercises off the coast of Australia, but 62 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:38.520 the Defence Minister there in Australia, Richard Marles, said that 63 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.280 they only learned about it because the airliners were told 64 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:47.000 about it. It did not come from China according to Australia. 65 00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:49.639 So that's all some of that stuff coming up. A 66 00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:51.759 little bit later we get into the stories of dogs 67 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.159 sleeping and what we can learn about our little furry 68 00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:59.280 friends from their sleeping habits. I did something last night 69 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.879 that I am proud of because it was very different 70 00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:06.439 than anything I've done before. But I bought my wife 71 00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:10.080 tickets to go see something called The Love Game. 72 00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:14.080 Lazy. It's not that it's not no no, no, no no. 73 00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:14.479 It's not that. 74 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:20.959 It was a kind of a staged speed dating thing 75 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:25.879 with a bunch of actors. And the premise is there's 76 00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:29.360 a doctor who has set up a dating app and 77 00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:33.079 she's got scientific research to explain who's going to end 78 00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:38.279 up with whom, and we, as the audience members, are 79 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.839 assigned to one of these singles that's looking for love, 80 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:44.720 and as they do their speed dating through the night, 81 00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:48.319 we coach them on things to ask or how it went. Do, 82 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:50.600 We ask what they're interested in and all that sort 83 00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:57.000 of stuff. There's seven people, dudes and ladies. Everything's on 84 00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:01.720 the table. Okay, hey, it's twenty twenty five, Amelia Perez whatever, 85 00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:06.319 all that stuff. The twist at the end of this, 86 00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:08.000 and I'm gonna give it away because there's only a 87 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.399 couple more shows of it. It's at the Virgil down 88 00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:15.240 in East Hollywood. They're on Santa Monica Boulevard. The twist 89 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:19.519 at the end is, at least some of the seven 90 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:24.720 singles want to be in a polyamorous relationship. 91 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.720 So all I could think. 92 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:33.399 Of was the time that we did a news and 93 00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:37.600 bruise and the food truck was run by the throttle 94 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:40.680 and my face there was a point. There was a 95 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:45.360 point when my wife turned to me and said, you 96 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:50.839 need to fix your face because you're scowling, And I 97 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.079 just felt like the rug had been pulled out from 98 00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:55.879 under me. I mean, our guy, the guy that was 99 00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:57.600 our single that we were trying to hook up with 100 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.279 all of these you know, find a match for him. 101 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.279 It was this nice character. I mean, he's an actor 102 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:04.040 playing this character. 103 00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:05.759 It was a nice character, like it was kind of 104 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.600 shy and you didn't get out much, so he's really 105 00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:10.839 going out on limb to do this speed dating thing, 106 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:15.720 and then it ends up the person that we set 107 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:19.439 him up with ends up asking him if he wants 108 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:22.959 to be in a polyamorous relationship and he was like, nah, 109 00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:28.199 that's not my speed. So anyway, it was a weird. 110 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:35.839 It was one of those very weird, weird, like homespun 111 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:40.120 theater things that well, I will never trust the La 112 00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:40.720 Times again. 113 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:41.439 I'll just say that. 114 00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:46.759 Okay, when we come back, it's USA, it's Russia, it's Ukraine. 115 00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.839 What the hell is going on? And is Donald Trump 116 00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:52.560 out on a limb on this one? Don't forget late 117 00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:54.680 in the show what you learned this week on the 118 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:55.560 Gary and Shannon Show. 119 00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.240 You always leave us a talkback message. 120 00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:59.680 Hit that little microphone button when you're listening on the 121 00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:01.759 app and send us a quick message and let you 122 00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:03.759 let us know what you learned this week on the 123 00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:07.240 Gary and Shannon Chow. So, Russia is said to be 124 00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:10.279 preparing to declare victory. We don't know what this is 125 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:14.000 going to look like, but Ukrainian intelligence has said that 126 00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:17.319 Vladimir Putin is expected to frame some sort of an announcement. 127 00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.160 Is not only a win over Ukraine, but get this 128 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:25.920 a win over NATO because he's going to try to 129 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:29.839 frame this conflict, the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a 130 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:34.199 broader defeat for NATO because they didn't want NATO on 131 00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:35.000 their doorstep. 132 00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:36.560 That's why they wouldn't. 133 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:38.959 They invaded Ukraine to make sure that it didn't get 134 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.720 included in the North Atlantic Treaty organization. And we told 135 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:44.319 you yesterday, and let me see if I can pull 136 00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:46.519 this a sound bite up. We told you yesterday about 137 00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:56.360 President Trump and his assertion that somehow Ukraine was responsible 138 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:03.600 for the invasion back in February of twenty twenty five, sorry, 139 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:04.360 twenty twenty two. 140 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:06.399 Right here we're hearing. 141 00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:09.480 That Russia wants to force Ukraine to hold new elections 142 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:11.399 in order to sign any kind of a peace deal. 143 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.319 Is that something that the US would ever support? Well, 144 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.000 we have up later in the bag election. 145 00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:20.240 Have an impact on getting Zelensky to sign the rare 146 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:21.240 earth minerals deal. 147 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:27.120 Look, you have leadership, and I like him personally, it's fine, 148 00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:30.839 it's fine. I don't care about personally. I care about 149 00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:34.039 getting the job done. You have leadership now that's allowed 150 00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.240 a war to go on that should have never even happened. 151 00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:38.559 But today I heard, oh we weren't invited. Well, you've 152 00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:40.639 been there for three years. You should have ended it 153 00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:42.519 three years. You should have never started it. 154 00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:44.919 You should have never started it. That's what he's talking about. 155 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.799 So retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg is actually the Special 156 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:53.600 Envoy for Ukraine and Russia and met with President Zelensky 157 00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:56.759 in Kiev in the last few days. And after this meeting, 158 00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:59.039 I told you yesterday they canceled what there was supposed 159 00:08:59.039 --> 00:08:59.679 to be a news conference. 160 00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:01.399 They can't, so that just did a photo op. 161 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.960 But Kellogg took to Twitter and said extensive and positive 162 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:09.240 discussions with Zelensky, used the Twitter handle and then said 163 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:12.720 the embattled and courageous leader of a nation at war 164 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:17.919 and his talented national security team. That's very different than 165 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:22.440 President Trump saying that Zelensky was a dictator. Mark Levin 166 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.720 on Fox News also said, I don't know why there 167 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.120 are people that not only oppose Zolensky but seemed to 168 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:31.840 support Putin. Now, how is that not a direct shot 169 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:34.559 at President Trump? He said, there needs to be peace 170 00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:37.360 between these two countries. Again, this is Mark Levin, and 171 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:39.720 I think Donald Trump is uniquely able to do that. 172 00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:43.000 I really do. But there cannot be peace at any cost. 173 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:47.519 The New York Post put out an editorial that suggested 174 00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:51.720 that Vladimir Putin was the dictator. In fact, put a 175 00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:54.600 picture of him on the front page and wrote the headline, 176 00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:59.240 big bold letters, this is a dictator. I mean, all 177 00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:01.799 of these things going, all of these you know, pretty 178 00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:06.200 conservative voices going against Donald Trump. Now, as you heard 179 00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:09.399 in that question asked of the President, there this rare 180 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:14.840 earth minerals deal that might be the thing that guarantees 181 00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:18.399 American money for Ukraine going forward. 182 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.720 Yeah, understanding from Ukraine official is that they're very much talking, 183 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:27.440 still negotiating this rare earth mineral contract, which seems to 184 00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:31.720 now be at the heart of Ukraine and US relationships 185 00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.519 period going forwards. One element a Ukraine official tells me 186 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:38.480 that the Ukrainians want to see added is, in his terms, 187 00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:43.279 security elements. That's slightly different to the security guarantees that 188 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:44.759 we heard the President talk about. 189 00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:47.399 And then Mike Wallas is the National Security Advisor, and 190 00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:50.720 he was speaking the at Sea pack. In fact, this 191 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:54.360 was just today. He was very confident that Ukraine would 192 00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:56.399 sign this deal for these rare earth minerals. 193 00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.919 Here's the bottom line, President Selenski is going to sign 194 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.360 that deal and you will see. 195 00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:06.519 That in the very short term, and that is good 196 00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:07.440 for Ukraine. 197 00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:10.080 What better could you have for Ukraine than to be 198 00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:12.799 in an economic partnership with the United States. Now, we 199 00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:16.440 have an obligation to you all, the American taxpayer, to 200 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.200 recoup the hundreds of billions of dollars that had been 201 00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:23.120 invested in this war. Europe's contributions are in the form 202 00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:23.759 of loans. 203 00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:27.399 So the document that's on the table when it comes 204 00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:31.200 to these rare earth minerals and what involvement the United 205 00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:37.960 States have with a peaceful Ukraine, they said that initially 206 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.039 Ukraine would provide the US government with fifty percent of 207 00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.440 its revenue from some of the key resources minerals, oil, gas, 208 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:52.000 et cetera. Now, the proposal right now is that's where 209 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.039 it's locked, is that this fifty percent. 210 00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:58.440 Zelenski's team was presented with this in. 211 00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:02.759 Say the twelfth, in Kiev on the twelfth of February, 212 00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:06.039 and they were criticizing the Trump administration, saying that they 213 00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:08.840 were trying to strong arm the country into this deal 214 00:12:08.919 --> 00:12:13.200 that exploits Ukraine. And Mike Waltz's point is, yeah, but 215 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:17.000 it's better than not being a member of NATO just 216 00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:21.279 having a basic friendship with no significant amount of trade 217 00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:24.120 between the two countries. This at least locks the United 218 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.919 States in to being a major trade partner because of 219 00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:29.080 the potential billions of dollars that we would get from 220 00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:33.000 these rare earth minerals. So that's the latest on what's 221 00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:36.240 going on there, and trust me, it is not over 222 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:37.039 by any means. 223 00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:38.240 We're going to be. 224 00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:41.279 Giving away a couple of pairs of tickets to the 225 00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:45.000 iHeart album release party for the Lumineers. Their new album 226 00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:47.720 just came out last Friday. You can check it out 227 00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:50.519 an eleven o'clock hour. The album release party will be 228 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:53.559 right over there, right across the street at the iHeartRadio 229 00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:55.720 Theater here in LA which is a great, cool little 230 00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:59.519 venue to see any band of any size. But the 231 00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:02.519 luminary are doing their album release party over there coming 232 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:05.159 up next week. So in the eleven o'clock hour will 233 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:07.080 be given away some of those tickets. 234 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:08.799 A bunch of stories that we are following. 235 00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:12.399 The Senate has adopted a budget resolution this morning intended 236 00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:15.080 to serve as a blueprint trying to deliver the first 237 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.639 part of President Trump's agenda. Senators did vote mostly along 238 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:22.919 party lines, fifty two forty eight on this resolution marathon 239 00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:26.399 overnight voting session they called a devote a rama. In 240 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:28.879 fact that the end, it turns out that Senator Ran 241 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:32.080 Paul of Kentucky was the only Republican to vote against 242 00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:38.159 the measure. Three empty buses in central Israel exploded late 243 00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:41.080 last night what officials said was a suspected terrorist attack. 244 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:46.080 Israeli military deployed three additional battalions to reinforce a week's 245 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:50.240 long operation in the West Bank. No injuries were reported 246 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.480 from those exploding buses and somebody. A driver was injured 247 00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:56.840 overnight when his vehicle was hit by a rock while 248 00:13:56.919 --> 00:14:00.000 driving through downtown La last night, right near the West 249 00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:03.080 Found ten southbound one ten. A rock or a stone 250 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:04.879 or something like that crack through a windshield and hit 251 00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:05.879 this guy just before midnight. 252 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:06.919 Had to go to the hospital. 253 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:11.080 Another driver reported a similar incident on the northbound one ten, 254 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:14.360 right near Adams Boulevard, but did not have to go 255 00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:18.240 to the hospital. Well, everybody's like, I'm sorry, not everybody. 256 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:21.480 I was excited yesterday the spring training baseball got underway. 257 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:23.840 But it got underway for the Dodgers in a pretty 258 00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:31.080 dangerous fashion. It was yesterday in the third inning the obstruction, 259 00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:35.879 Well boy, Bobby hitting the head, Oh my goodness, that 260 00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:36.919 ball goes. 261 00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:39.360 In the file territory. 262 00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:42.720 But a comebacker from Bush hit Bobby Millard and he 263 00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:46.159 is down and he'll be attended to right away. 264 00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:49.240 Oh my goodness, Tim re Everett and Rick Monday there 265 00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:51.559 this happened to the third inning. Michael Bush hit a 266 00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:54.960 one hundred and five mile an hour line drive that 267 00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:58.679 appeared to hit him on the right temple, right where 268 00:14:58.679 --> 00:14:59.919 the hat meets us. 269 00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:01.320 Knocked his hat off everything. 270 00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:02.960 He fell to the ground, but he fell onto his 271 00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:06.440 hands and knees as opposed to falling flat. The ball 272 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:09.559 itself goes out into into foul territory. It's a fair 273 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:12.279 ball because it hit him while he was in fair territory. 274 00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:14.799 But it's not like the Cubs we're going to, you know, 275 00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:17.039 try to take advantage of it. I don't even think 276 00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:20.600 Michael Bush when it hit the pitcher, When it hit 277 00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:23.159 Bobby Miller, I mean he was stunned because he would 278 00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:24.480 he didn't even have time to get out of the 279 00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:28.559 batter's box. Now Bobby Miller leaves the game, they say 280 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:30.639 that he is in concussion protocol. 281 00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:32.080 Dave Roberts talked about it. 282 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:34.639 It squared up pretty good. It was kind of the 283 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:37.600 front side of the head and you can just see 284 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:40.440 the distance that it traveled once it hit. There was 285 00:15:40.440 --> 00:15:43.600 some deflection, but it hit him pretty flush. From what 286 00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:47.639 I've gathered, he's going to be under a concussion protocol. 287 00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:51.279 He'll be. We'll keep an eye on tonight. I don't 288 00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:54.159 know what that means as far as going forward. Certainly 289 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:56.799 it's somewhat of, you know, setback. We've got to make 290 00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:59.679 sure that he feels okay going forward. 291 00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:03.240 I think about the number of baseball games that are 292 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:06.440 played not just by the Dodgers, but by all of 293 00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:10.759 Major League baseball and all of minor league baseball, all college, 294 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:11.720 high school. 295 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:13.320 I mean, this happens. 296 00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:17.559 It's probably more common than people realize that pitchers get 297 00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:20.159 hit by these balls coming off off of the bats 298 00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:20.919 pretty quickly. 299 00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:24.120 It's killed a couple before. 300 00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:28.360 About eighteen years ago, there was a minor league player, 301 00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:33.440 a guy named Michael Coolbaugh, the brother of a major 302 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.720 league named Scott Coolbaugh, and it was July two thousand 303 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:39.600 and seven. He was killed during the ninth inning of 304 00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:42.799 a game in a minor league game. The ball actually 305 00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:44.440 hit him in the neck while he was standing in 306 00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:47.879 the first base coaches box. There have been others like that. 307 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:53.960 Ray Chapman was a batter who was hitting ahead by 308 00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:56.519 a pitch back in the twenties, I think it was, 309 00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:00.200 and he died a few hours later. And he's the 310 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:04.400 only player in Major League Baseball to die directly from 311 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:06.400 an injury that was received during a major league game. 312 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:09.200 It's not out of the realm of possibility that Major 313 00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:12.759 League Baseball starts to take a look at requiring pitchers 314 00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:15.640 to wear helmets of some kind. 315 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:17.200 They have experimented with. 316 00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:23.960 Cushioned caps, specifically four pitchers, where there's a lot of 317 00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:26.200 cushion that's added to the front of their baseball cap, 318 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:29.039 and it looks a little bit strange, but it's a 319 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:33.039 whole lot better than getting your forehead caved in. The 320 00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:36.359 other thing that was going on in yesterday's game at 321 00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:42.759 Camelback was the Major League Baseball automated ball and Strike system, 322 00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:47.559 like a robo umpire. It wasn't that there weren't human 323 00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:51.279 umpires on the field, because there were. It's that there 324 00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:56.000 is also a computerized ball and strike system at Camelback, 325 00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:58.599 and for every Dodgers game that they play at Camelback 326 00:17:58.640 --> 00:18:02.440 in spring training, this thing will be active. And what 327 00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:06.559 it does is it tracks every pitch. It tracks the 328 00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:09.279 location of the pitch, where it crosses the plate, if 329 00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:11.160 it crosses the plate, the height of the pitch. All 330 00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:16.160 of three d and a catcher, a pitcher, or the batter. 331 00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:17.519 Those are the only three players. 332 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:23.559 They can all ask for a review of what the 333 00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:27.839 umpire called. So the umpire calls a ball, catcher thinks 334 00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:30.319 it's a strike, he taps his helmet and they go 335 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:34.839 through a review if it's If he wins the challenge, 336 00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:37.960 they retain their challenge. They get two per game, two 337 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:41.440 per team, two per game. They retain their challenge and 338 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:43.880 they can challenge again later. And yesterday was the first 339 00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:47.759 time it was ever used. Some of the players have 340 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:50.599 used it in the minor leagues. It's they've been trying 341 00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:51.759 it out in the minor leagues, but this is the 342 00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:54.359 first time that they're using it in the major leagues. 343 00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:56.440 And last night, I don't know if you saw the 344 00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:59.559 beginning of this game, but there was some fireworks going on. 345 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:03.240 Canada did end up beating the United States, in the 346 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:08.039 first ever Four Nations Faceoff Hockey tournament, which includes basically 347 00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:13.839 all star teams from the NHL that play for their 348 00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:17.920 respective home countries. Overtime goal from Connor McDavid sealed the 349 00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:20.599 three to two win for Canada at that arena in Boston. 350 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:24.680 And this is the same game when they met in. 351 00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:27.000 The round robin, by the way, with the round robin 352 00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:31.960 portion of the tournament in Canada in Montreal, they had 353 00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:35.759 the three fights in the first nine seconds of the game. 354 00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:39.839 There was some fisticuffs, but nothing nothing to that degree 355 00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:42.359 last night, but it was still a pretty rock and 356 00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:45.680 international hockey game. And if you've never seen live hockey, 357 00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:49.359 you are absolutely missing out. Gary and Shannon Kfi am 358 00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:52.839 six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. There is 359 00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:55.559 a fight over what we're going to do with all 360 00:19:55.599 --> 00:20:01.960 of the leftover junk from our fires. Obviously, there's a 361 00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:06.079 lot of toxic material that burned in the Palisades and 362 00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:10.519 eaten fires, and now as we begin the process of 363 00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:16.319 cleaning up and basically scraping off those properties so that 364 00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:20.400 people can rebuild, there's a. 365 00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:21.599 Fight as to where it's going to go. 366 00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:23.680 We'll talk about it at the top of the hour, 367 00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:27.240 specifically about some of these different landfills and how you 368 00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:30.480 can fight against what they're trying to do in terms 369 00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:33.000 of where they're trying to put this stuff. The other 370 00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:34.559 story that we're going to talk about a little bit 371 00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:39.359 later is body weight versus weight weights. If you work 372 00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:41.640 out and you think to yourself, well, I can't go 373 00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:44.759 to the gym, or I don't have dumbbells or barbells 374 00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:48.400 at home or whatever, I'm just gonna do nothing, there 375 00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.200 is a discussion about whether or not doing something, even 376 00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:56.559 if you're just using body weight, if that's as helpful 377 00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:01.319 as using weight weights, is that right? Body weight versus 378 00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:04.119 weight Well, it doesn't matter, but we'll talk about that 379 00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:07.839 coming up at eleven twenty this morning. There was an 380 00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:14.240 anecdote in a New York Times cooking section. One of 381 00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:17.920 the editors said a relative had bought four bottles of cognac, 382 00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:22.440 not because they necessarily were going to drink four bottles 383 00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:26.079 of cognac, but they were afraid that the tariffs that 384 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:28.839 were going to be imposed on imported goods would drive 385 00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:33.799 the price of cognac way up. And the New York 386 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:35.799 Times decided that they were going to put out a 387 00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:42.119 poll about what kind of things people would need to get, 388 00:21:42.200 --> 00:21:44.200 what would they try to hoard, what would they try 389 00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:48.680 to stockpile before these proposed tariffs went up. I mean, 390 00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:51.599 obviously we've seen hoarding before. We saw it during COVID. 391 00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:54.400 People went after toilet paper for some reason, even though 392 00:21:54.400 --> 00:21:56.880 that was not it's not a symptom, and it didn't 393 00:21:56.880 --> 00:21:58.279 make a whole lot of sense as to why they 394 00:21:58.319 --> 00:21:58.880 would do it. 395 00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:03.200 But I stocked up on trash bags. 396 00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:08.000 I figured they had multiple usage, so it was a 397 00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:09.039 good thing to have. 398 00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:10.839 A lot of trash bags. That's one thing. 399 00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:13.680 Okay, gosh darn it, Gary, you asked the best questions 400 00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:16.279 for the talk back. All right, So what did I 401 00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:20.720
