Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: A M. Six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
Speaker 1: demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken, this.
Speaker 3: Is Latin for all out. All right, the hymn. The
Speaker 3: name of the hymn is Latin for all out, meaning
Speaker 3: like we're going all out, we're picking our new pope.
Speaker 3: I'm not being funny here.
Speaker 2: I read that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, if this is the hymn they walked into
Speaker 1: and pairs in the red robes, it is Latin for
Speaker 1: all out.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, okay.
Speaker 4: Well, and then as soon as they were done with
Speaker 4: a walkout, and then they were walking all out, and
Speaker 4: they did their they laid their hand on a book.
Speaker 2: I don't know which book it was.
Speaker 4: I don't think it was the Bible, and they read
Speaker 4: their pledge, which was basically, we cardinals and your in
Speaker 4: certain name of cardinal here pledged to be moved only
Speaker 4: by the spirit of the Lord in picking our next pope.
Speaker 4: And then they shut the doors to the Sistine Chapel.
Speaker 2: And here we go.
Speaker 1: The longest conclave, by the way, began in twelve sixty eight.
Speaker 1: Why well, it was the Italians versus the French. The
Speaker 1: Italians wanted an Italian pope, the French wanted a Frenchman,
Speaker 1: and neither side budged for nearly three years. Now today,
Speaker 1: in modern times, the average conclave is four days. I've
Speaker 1: got my ballet teacher, Miss Patricia, already in with her
Speaker 1: bet this morning, she says, she calls twenty four hours.
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be more.
Speaker 2: Like two days.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be two days, because twenty four
Speaker 1: hours is a little too flip it right, It's like
Speaker 1: you spent no time.
Speaker 2: You spent no time at all.
Speaker 4: Well, if they do twenty four hours, it also would
Speaker 4: lend credence to the You guys have been talking about
Speaker 4: this for a while, right when you're not supposed to.
Speaker 1: It's like a jury. You just to chat about the
Speaker 1: verdict over lunch. You're to only talk about it when
Speaker 1: you're in the closed quarters.
Speaker 4: Only supposed to talk about it when the Sistine Chapel
Speaker 4: doors closed.
Speaker 2: Now, I don't know what they do in there right now.
Speaker 4: Because there are obviously no phones, there's no outside communication.
Speaker 3: What do you think they're doing right now?
Speaker 2: I don't know that's are they there?
Speaker 3: Icebreaker games?
Speaker 1: Is it is it go around the table and every
Speaker 1: cardinal listens, listens A fun fact about me? To me
Speaker 1: sounds awful and I don't have social anxiety, But like,
Speaker 1: could you imagine sitting around a table full of people
Speaker 1: just that we even people we've worked with for twenty years,
Speaker 1: and sitting there and dig. Okay, now we're gonna go
Speaker 1: around the table say a fun fact about you?
Speaker 3: Like, what would you even say?
Speaker 2: You're showing your hatred for humans right now?
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I'm talking about myself.
Speaker 2: Like, what fun fact.
Speaker 1: Would you say about you? Oh, I'm not saying I
Speaker 1: hate the people. I'm saying that's awful to have everyone's
Speaker 1: attention on yours to unveil something fun knows about you.
Speaker 4: There's one hundred and thirty plus of them in there
Speaker 4: that would take forever to go through, even if all
Speaker 4: they did was say what's your name, where are you from?
Speaker 2: And who's your favorite take?
Speaker 1: But you know that that's a thing that's happening right
Speaker 1: now in the real world. But like Zoom calls with
Speaker 1: fun facts about you, Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's the real world, doesn't We don't have to talk
Speaker 2: about that.
Speaker 3: Do you want to unveil what your fun fact is?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I would be in the same position
Speaker 2: as you. I don't know. I don't have a I
Speaker 2: don't what's fun about this.
Speaker 3: I'd see, that's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 4: The uh, the one hundred and thirty three cardinals, at
Speaker 4: least those that are under the age of eighty, marched
Speaker 4: in this solemn procession to sound the prayers to go
Speaker 4: into the Sistine Chapel this morning.
Speaker 3: You could say you have a T shirt collection.
Speaker 2: I just would say I have T shirts.
Speaker 3: That's not fun. A collection that makes it sound like fun.
Speaker 4: It's a curated I've carefully selected all of them, when
Speaker 4: in fact, all I've done is not thrown them away
Speaker 4: or given them away.
Speaker 2: I'm an order. That's my fun. Fact.
Speaker 4: There is an interesting thing about it about what conclave
Speaker 4: is most of these cardinals have never met each other before,
Speaker 4: so maybe that icebreaker thing isn't too far off.
Speaker 1: Well, that was the thing with Pope Francis, and we've
Speaker 1: talked about that, and that's why I said icebreakers, because
Speaker 1: Pope Francis did not have these get togethers like popes
Speaker 1: of the past did. Popes of the past would invite
Speaker 1: the cardinals to the Vatican all the time, maybe not
Speaker 1: all the time, but periodically, and so they all kind
Speaker 1: of knew each other. This pope did not, so when
Speaker 1: they all descended upon the Vatican after he died, it
Speaker 1: isn't getting to know you process well.
Speaker 4: And I think in those days, you know, it's been
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks now since Pope Francis died. They've
Speaker 4: had the opportunity to meet each other, and they've had
Speaker 4: the opportunity they can meet each other and do the
Speaker 4: icebreaker thing without discussing who they think should be the
Speaker 4: next pope, although you know, I don't know if it's
Speaker 4: like an election from the nineteen fifties where you walk
Speaker 4: around with little pins.
Speaker 1: And you're like, well, I mean, I think they knew
Speaker 1: of it. Obviously they knew of each other. Sure, it's
Speaker 1: like we you know, Dick and Sandy who do the
Speaker 1: radio show in Milwaukee.
Speaker 2: We know of them, but we've never met We.
Speaker 1: Never met them, so you know, it's like we know
Speaker 1: that they sound like they're great people, but are they
Speaker 1: great enough people to lead the the world of Catholics.
Speaker 4: There are a lot of things that Francis did that
Speaker 4: did not sit well with some Catholics. He was in
Speaker 4: terms of Catholic popes, or in terms of popes, I
Speaker 4: should say redundant. He was pretty progressive, and he opened
Speaker 4: up perhaps the Catholic Church at least the doctrine to
Speaker 4: things like LGBTQ members, his famous quote of who am
Speaker 4: I to judge? He also talked about cautiously opening up
Speaker 4: to other religions, which other people, some strongline, hardline Catholics,
Speaker 4: are not cool with because they're afraid then that is
Speaker 4: going to dilute Catholicism vocational crisis. Very few people now
Speaker 4: are entering the priesthood. Is there a push at some
Speaker 4: point in twenty twenty five to allow women to be
Speaker 4: ordained in the well?
Speaker 1: All this talk about women is making me uncomfortable. Can
Speaker 1: we talk about the history when women were not an issue?
Speaker 1: Because many of the rituals that the conclaves are relatively modern,
Speaker 1: like why is it at the Sistine Chapel? Why the
Speaker 1: black smoke? We have all these answers, even the modern
Speaker 1: name in Latin of the papal elections. One of my
Speaker 1: favorite things to read about the lengthiest conclave there in
Speaker 1: twelve sixty eight, when you had the fight between the
Speaker 1: Italians and the French, is that they removed the roof
Speaker 1: at one point to allow the Holy Spirit to have
Speaker 1: direct access to the cardinals. Like somebody how it works,
Speaker 1: Bob in some sort of conference room came up with
Speaker 1: this idea. It raised his hand, like yes, Bob, what's
Speaker 1: your idea about how to move this along? He's like,
Speaker 1: how about we take the roof off? Holy Spirit gets
Speaker 1: right in and everyone's like, yes, Bob, let's do that.
Speaker 3: How that gets signed off on the roof? Does that
Speaker 3: make sense.
Speaker 1: Theologically? I mean, I think God would have a chuckle
Speaker 1: at that one.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll talk about the history of the concerts.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of fun facts in this, much more
Speaker 3: fun than us.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: While we've got a Soviet spacecraft that is expected to
Speaker 1: crash back into Earth within days. They say it's like
Speaker 1: a few thousands of a chance of hurting somebody. That
Speaker 1: sounds like a pretty large chance in the world of
Speaker 1: chances when it comes to like asteroids hitting us, usually
Speaker 1: it's like one in five hundred million chants or something
Speaker 1: like that. Thousands doesn't sound pretty small, I mean, no,
Speaker 1: bigger chance, smaller than bigger than chance.
Speaker 2: You're right, I'm thinking the proportion. I'm doing the wrong
Speaker 2: with the denominator rule.
Speaker 3: I shouldn't ask you to do math in the nine
Speaker 3: o'clock hour.
Speaker 2: Somebody listens to you.
Speaker 4: By the way, remember every time we do a car
Speaker 4: chase and it's like a Honda CRV or a a
Speaker 4: Honda Odyssey minivan or something like that, and you say,
Speaker 4: if you're going to do it, get in that Dodge charger. Yeah,
Speaker 4: early this morning, somebody stole a Dodge charger.
Speaker 3: Yeah you lax tell Yeah, I love an acting change.
Speaker 2: It didn't last long. That the chase didn't last long.
Speaker 1: And that I feel like John and Ken picked him up,
Speaker 1: like they've done some real work here.
Speaker 4: All right, Before we get back to conclave, we have
Speaker 4: a chance for you to win a thousand dollars.
Speaker 5: Now your chance to win one thousand dollars. Just enter

Speaker 4: But that's fine. Happy Happy is your code where it
Speaker 4: goes on the website.
Speaker 2: Will do it again.
Speaker 4: An hour from now, the doors of the Sistine Chapel
Speaker 4: are closed. Cardinals will not have any communication with the
Speaker 4: outside world until they elect a new pope.
Speaker 1: Did you know that of the two hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: six popes who have led the Catholic Church, by the way,
Speaker 1: one point four billion Catholics strong today, not one of
Speaker 1: them has been from the United States.
Speaker 2: Not yet.
Speaker 1: The name that is kind of bubbling around the surface
Speaker 1: is Cardinal Robert Provost, a potential American pope.
Speaker 3: I don't think that's ever gonna happen.
Speaker 2: Probably not. That would be lacrilegious. They were too young.
Speaker 2: There might be that.
Speaker 4: I also think that those having the pope, one of
Speaker 4: the most powerful positions in the entire world, along as
Speaker 4: an American, concentrates a lot of power in the United
Speaker 4: States that we otherwise wouldn't necessarily have.
Speaker 5: We power.
Speaker 2: It would be.
Speaker 1: So drunk on power. Can you imagine Trump if the
Speaker 1: pope was a oh my goodness.
Speaker 4: Well, my god, he would assume that that pope is
Speaker 4: loyal to him.
Speaker 2: The thing would be such a show.
Speaker 1: By the way, more likely France is getting into this.
Speaker 1: There's some controversy if we heard about this the French
Speaker 1: government denying allegations that the Italian media has been running
Speaker 1: with because it goes back to the French and the
Speaker 1: Italians right fighting over who gets to be the pope.
Speaker 2: That the rumors were that.
Speaker 1: President Emmanuel Macrone attempted to sway the process to select
Speaker 1: a French pope. Several daily Italian newspapers ran with this. Uh.
Speaker 1: They say that Macrone had been making informal overtures to cardinals,
Speaker 1: making those pre draft phone calls, trying to encourage support
Speaker 1: for cardinals Jean Marc Aveline, the Archbishop of Marseille.
Speaker 4: Just okay, well, then let me ask this, in the
Speaker 4: context of that conversation about where the next pope comes from?
Speaker 4: Does that then bring a lot of how Argentina wasn't
Speaker 4: basking in glory with Pope Francis as the head of
Speaker 4: the Holy See. That I don't know, Maybe it's it
Speaker 4: takes on a different meaning if it's a more developed country.
Speaker 1: It's a very big deal to have the pope come
Speaker 1: from your country, very much.
Speaker 2: Pope John Paul the second was from Poland?
Speaker 4: Right, I mean, did that mean it's a sense of
Speaker 4: I'm sure it's a sense of national pride, yes, but
Speaker 4: does it do anything necessarily to change the power dynamic
Speaker 4: that for that nation?
Speaker 1: My question is how much power does Emmanuel Macrone have
Speaker 1: with any sort of cardinals. I don't know what he
Speaker 1: can offer. I don't know how sweet that recruiting deal is.
Speaker 4: I'll bet you France used to have a lot of power.
Speaker 4: I mean, the Vatican, the Pope used to be in France.
Speaker 1: It's just like Pete Carroll's power, you know, bringing guys
Speaker 1: to usc Who are we talking about here?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 1: So I wanted to talk about a little bit about
Speaker 1: the history of the conclave because I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: kind of fun to go through the pageantry. It's like
Speaker 1: why we all buy the People magazine with the royals
Speaker 1: on the cover.
Speaker 3: It's like they still do what.
Speaker 1: The Sistine Chapel became the sole location for the papal
Speaker 1: elections only in eighteen seventy eight.
Speaker 2: It's relatively new there's even.
Speaker 1: Documentation that goes back to fifteen forty nine of a
Speaker 1: log of when the cardinals would urinate during the conclave.
Speaker 1: It's all very protected and secretive. You thought that the
Speaker 1: rules were strict at Catholic school, My goodness, the conclave rules,
Speaker 1: the custom of using black smoke to indicate an unsuccessful ballot. Remember,
Speaker 1: they will vote daily. There's one ballot today, and then
Speaker 1: in subsequent days there are four ballots, I believe. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but the custom of using the black smoke to indicate
Speaker 1: an unsuccessful ballot did not exist before eighteen seventy eight.
Speaker 1: White smoke, of course, to show there is a new
Speaker 1: pope that did not exist before then as well.
Speaker 2: You know, it is funny.
Speaker 4: There's a an Italian guy who wrote a book called
Speaker 4: about the Conclave in the Election of the Pope, and
Speaker 4: he says that the conclave is a strange myth magnet,
Speaker 4: which I think is not. You don't have to say strange,
Speaker 4: it's just a myth magnet because you're literally talking about
Speaker 4: something that doesn't happen in the modern world. You have
Speaker 4: one hundred and thirty three popes, you have one hundred
Speaker 4: and thirty three cardinals going into an area that is
Speaker 4: locked down with no outside communication zero. That does not
Speaker 4: happen in today's society. So it's not just that it's strange.
Speaker 4: I mean it's unusual. But of course there's going to
Speaker 4: be myths that come up with that, because we all
Speaker 4: want to try to explain the unknown.
Speaker 2: We don't know what's going on back there.
Speaker 1: And we don't even need myths, do we. We just
Speaker 1: go back to the strange, to use that word history.
Speaker 1: The first conclave in the Sistine Chapel took place in
Speaker 1: fourteen ninety two, the year Columbus sailed the Ocean Blue,
Speaker 1: the year Columbus cross the Atlantic for reference, They say
Speaker 1: that that debut election in the Sistine Chapel marred by scandal.
Speaker 1: Pope Alexander the sixth was a member of the wealthy
Speaker 1: bourgeois family, known for the lavish lifestyle and many children
Speaker 1: he had. He secured his election by bribing fellow cardinals
Speaker 1: with land, money and lucrative positions in the Vatican's bureaucracy.
Speaker 1: After the as Sistine Chapel became the fixed setting for
Speaker 1: these cardinals would share sleeping quarters, and what used to
Speaker 1: be Alexander the sixth Fresco department. Remember he had the
Speaker 1: pension for the lavish, So this was a beautiful apartment
Speaker 1: in the Vatican, but it wasn't comfortable. Six cardinals to
Speaker 1: a room. Bathrooms were few. Cardinals were given commode chairs
Speaker 1: to keep next to their beds add to pp in
Speaker 1: the middle of the night, use the commode.
Speaker 2: It's a seat with a hole.
Speaker 1: If you're not familiar, According to a senior manager at
Speaker 1: the Vatican Museums, when cardinals were voting and the Sistine
Speaker 1: Chapel's staff were coming to clean, empty the seats with
Speaker 1: the hole and prepare the rooms for the day after.
Speaker 1: This arrangement continued until nineteen seventy eight. When you were
Speaker 1: in kindergarten, there were popes still pissing in a hole
Speaker 1: and next to the bed in their room. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's true, because I don't know what.
Speaker 2: What year I started kindergarten.
Speaker 1: Well, no, no, I don't know if there was a conclave
Speaker 1: in those years.
Speaker 4: No, because John Paul was. I would say John Paul
Speaker 4: was like the sixth early seventy sixties.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It gets hot in there too, there's no air condition.
Speaker 1: If you've got a conclave in the summer. You are
Speaker 1: sol John Paul the Second, by the way, the first
Speaker 1: non Italian pope in four hundred and fifty five years one,
Speaker 1: after a heated argument between two of the Italian front runners.
Speaker 1: So the two front runners from Italy got into it
Speaker 1: in the conclave, and they were both made such fools
Speaker 1: of themselves that John Paul the Second kind of rose
Speaker 1: to the top there.
Speaker 2: It was seventy eight that he was elected.
Speaker 1: Who So you were in kindergarten when the popes were
Speaker 1: doing the thing.
Speaker 2: We went from Pope John one to Pope John two.
Speaker 3: Fascinating. That's a good, that was a good.
Speaker 2: Actually there's another pope in there. There was even yet.
Speaker 4: Well, now that makes no sense. Hope John Paul the
Speaker 4: first was only there for thirty three days. Oh, Pope
Speaker 4: Paul the sixth was alive, was the pope when I
Speaker 4: was born?
Speaker 2: Family?
Speaker 4: Internet is nice, Yeah, I wouldn't know. I do a
Speaker 4: lot of stuff with it.
Speaker 2: Over here.
Speaker 3: I come fix that?
Speaker 2: Could Ai? AI fixed?
Speaker 4: Just yell down the hall for AI and AI will
Speaker 4: come running, all right, while the pope is pope election,
Speaker 4: while conclave is going on, will of course bring you
Speaker 4: smoke updates. There is a solitary camera that is now
Speaker 4: showing the smoke stack high above the Sistine Chapel, and
Speaker 4: the moment the smoke comes out after they do a
Speaker 4: ballot and burn them, then the world will stop and everybody.
Speaker 3: Better for the prosecution or the defense.
Speaker 2: If HiT's quick, that's a good question.
Speaker 3: I never remember that rule. Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: The red robed Cardinals entered the Sistine Chapelain Pears, chanting
Speaker 1: the meditative Litany of the Saints as the Swiss Guard
Speaker 1: stood at attention. The Him and the one that follows
Speaker 1: implores the Saints and the Holy Spirit to help the
Speaker 1: Cardinals find a successor to Pope Francis.
Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, Gary and Shannon Buenos Yas.
Speaker 2: Hello.
Speaker 6: Well, I'm Mexican American, and my favorite Saint is.
Speaker 2: Saint Michael, the Archangel.
Speaker 5: Saint Michael.
Speaker 2: A lot of people in my family like Saint Jude,
Speaker 2: but I like Saint Michael. That's my goal to Saint Angel.
Speaker 2: I think we've covered me a lot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we've got a talk back topic for
Speaker 1: the day. Who's your favorite saint and why my favorite
Speaker 1: saint is Saint Anthony. He helps you find lost stuff.
Speaker 1: My mother used to pray to Saint Anthony all the
Speaker 1: time she lost her keys. Oh, Saint Anthony help me
Speaker 1: find my keys, and he would find them. Saint Christopher,
Speaker 1: the Saint of travel. Who's your favorite saint? And why
Speaker 1: let us know?
Speaker 3: Do you have a favorite saint?
Speaker 2: Drew Brees? Probably no, so.
Speaker 1: Different, but that's shutting the door. I'm not shutting the
Speaker 1: door on love for saints. He is a well do
Speaker 1: we know him?
Speaker 3: We don't know him?
Speaker 4: Seems like seems like a good qualify that with seems
Speaker 4: like a really good g all krispy Kreme donut fans
Speaker 4: can get. You don't have to be a fan, can
Speaker 4: get a free donut today. Did you know that Krispy
Speaker 4: Kreme is playing off the whole real id thing? Oh
Speaker 4: by saying the DMV can be stressful enough in normal times,
Speaker 4: we know that May seventh is going to be next
Speaker 4: level stress for many Americas trying to get the real
Speaker 4: ied brilliant. So go buy a krispy Kreme anytime today.
Speaker 4: You can get a free original donut on us on them.

Speaker 1: Donut, think about who your favorite saint is and let
Speaker 1: us know.
Speaker 4: Pakistan has said India has committed an act of war.
Speaker 4: About twenty six people, according to Pakistan, including several children,
Speaker 4: have been killed forty six injured after India launched attacks
Speaker 4: on what it claimed were nine sites of terrorist infrastructure.
Speaker 4: Pakistan said that is an act of war. Pakistan also claims,
Speaker 4: strangely to have shot down five Indian Air Force jets
Speaker 4: and a drone, but has not provided any actual footage
Speaker 4: of an aircraft going down. There are images and videos
Speaker 4: that show fuels on the ground, but those can be
Speaker 4: jettisoned in mid flight. Those don't necessarily mean much. India,
Speaker 4: of course, accused Pakistan of that terrorist attack in Indian
Speaker 4: Kashmir last month where twenty six people were killed. The
Speaker 4: Indian Defense Ministry said, we're living up to the commitment
Speaker 4: that those responsible for this attack be held accountable. The
Speaker 4: Indian Army claims that the overnight strikes specifically targeted terrorist
Speaker 4: training camps, and that terrorists likely to be sent across
Speaker 4: India were the ones that were targeted. However, Pakistan denied
Speaker 4: that any of those sites in fact were terrorists or
Speaker 4: had been associated with terrorist infrastructure, said that these allegations
Speaker 4: are unsubstantiated and unreasonable. Why do we care if it's
Speaker 4: halfway across the world in areas and towns that we
Speaker 4: cannot pronounce well, Because both of these countries have hundreds
Speaker 4: of nuclear weapons. This is one of the hotspots that
Speaker 4: has always been pointed to in the last twenty or
Speaker 4: thirty years of if there is to be global thermonuclear war,
Speaker 4: it would start in a conflict, a regional conflict just
Speaker 4: like this.
Speaker 1: Yes, and unfortunately it's not going to get attention because
Speaker 1: of the parts unknown fatigue that we have when it
Speaker 1: comes to the Israelis and the Palestinians there in Gaza,
Speaker 1: Ukrainians and the Russians over there. Several major airlines, by
Speaker 1: the way, said they were suspending flights to Pakistan over
Speaker 1: swathes of northern India until midday today, So that's definitely
Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on. It's not something to
Speaker 1: ignore even though we have parts unknown fatigue.
Speaker 2: And Pakistan's vowed to retaliate. This is going to be
Speaker 2: the back and forth.
Speaker 4: Who comes in to negotiate, not necessarily a peace deal.
Speaker 4: I think that may be kind of a stretch for
Speaker 4: these two, but at least a calm down, take a deal.
Speaker 2: I don't know how it's going to.
Speaker 3: Beat Hagsatz jumps on signal. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 3: know how we do that, all right?
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Russians, there's a failed Soviet eraspacecraft that's
Speaker 1: expected to crash back to Earth within days.
Speaker 2: We don't know a hell.
Speaker 1: Of a lot, or at least it seems like they
Speaker 1: don't know a hell of a lot about where this
Speaker 1: thing is going to crash down.
Speaker 2: What if they did know everything, would they want to
Speaker 2: tell you?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: It goes back to that great movie Armageddon, where nobody
Speaker 1: knew anything except for Bruce Willis and his ragtag team.
Speaker 2: Was it Bruce Willis? I think you're thinking of the Diehard?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: Are you thinking of Armageddon? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: Ben Affleck and Live Tyler and they save the world.
Speaker 2: Right, And then they played that with all these.
Speaker 4: Freeman was the president and he knew about the extinction
Speaker 4: level event that was going to happen.
Speaker 3: I don't know what you refer to. All I know
Speaker 3: is Armageddon, and that's all anybody needs to know.
Speaker 2: I don't think that was what was movie. Literally all
Speaker 2: you need to know about the end of the world.
Speaker 6: Guys.
Speaker 2: Bingo starts at eleven. We need to wrap this up.
Speaker 1: Gary and Channing will continue chair exercise. I want to
Speaker 1: hear don't miss a thing when I come back.
Speaker 2: Yes, who are you talking to?
Speaker 5: You?
Speaker 2: Just you just yelled at Elmer.
Speaker 1: I wasn't yelling at Elmer. I was just feeling I wasn't.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Elmer. I didn't mean to yell. I just
Speaker 1: felt really strongly about it. Oh my god, I feel
Speaker 1: off the now. Yikes, Elmer. Do you accept my apology?
Speaker 2: I do?
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't need to hear the Aerosmith song when
Speaker 3: we come back. Now.
Speaker 2: You forced him to accept your apology.
Speaker 5: What you're listening to? Gary and Shannon on demand from
Speaker 5: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4: The movie I was thinking of with Morgan Freeman his
Speaker 4: Deep Impacts also another one of the asteroids coming to
Speaker 4: destroy the Earth thing.
Speaker 2: This is a far superior choice. I mean, it has everything, at.
Speaker 4: Least nothing else. It's got a much better sound track
Speaker 4: and does it. Yeah, but Robert Duval Taileoni, Vanessa Redgrave,
Speaker 4: Morgan Freeman, I mean that was it was a pretty
Speaker 4: good uh deep impact is a pretty good cast. That
Speaker 4: being said, we will get into your favorite saints.
Speaker 2: Coming up.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Wait, some of them are fantastic.
Speaker 4: By the way, congratulations for everybody understanding the assignment.
Speaker 6: Gary and Sharon, great show is always think my favorite
Speaker 6: Saint is Saint Germaine. That's some great stuff to add
Speaker 6: with some persecco on a Sunday morning front.
Speaker 2: I have a great day.
Speaker 6: You guys always enjoy listening to your show and and
Speaker 6: your staff all the best of them as well.
Speaker 2: Thank you appreciate that. Ni, Garry, Shannon, and the I am.
Speaker 2: My favorite Saint is Alman Saint Brown. I love it.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 4: Cosmos four eight two is the spacecraft we introduced you
Speaker 4: to first last week, and we're getting closer to this
Speaker 4: thing coming home. Launched back in nineteen seventy two, it's
Speaker 4: older than me. Part of the Soviet Union's Venera program,
Speaker 4: which they originally planned to explore Venus.
Speaker 2: It experienced a successful.
Speaker 4: Launch March of nineteen seventy two and did orbit for
Speaker 4: a little while, but it did not get sufficient velocity
Speaker 4: to launch into a Venus transfer trajectory. So the payload,
Speaker 4: the portion of the space machine that's related to the
Speaker 4: primary mission, unable to exit Earth's orbit. They originally said
Speaker 4: it may have been a malfunction on a timer that
Speaker 4: caused the engine to burn prematurely.
Speaker 1: So the spacecraft broke into four pieces. Two of the
Speaker 1: pieces remained low or in low orbit. They decayed within
Speaker 1: forty eight hours. The two other pieces became stuck in
Speaker 1: the Earth's higher orbit. So the larger lander pro is
Speaker 1: the one that is that we're talking about. It has
Speaker 1: experienced orbital decay for decades and the decay has brought
Speaker 1: it close enough to re enter the planet's atmosphere around now.
Speaker 4: So it was originally, like we said, it was supposed
Speaker 4: to go to Venus, and they designed it to withstand
Speaker 4: Venus's atmosphere, which is a whole lot more dense than
Speaker 4: the atmosphere on Earth. So they're saying this thing is
Speaker 4: built to crash into Us.
Speaker 2: Built to withstand re entry. They say, it's about how
Speaker 2: big is it?
Speaker 5: Good?
Speaker 2: Question?
Speaker 1: Three point two feet across and it weighs a car.
Speaker 1: It weighs eleven pounds, almost a light car, a light car,
Speaker 1: but three feet across, that's a that's a heavy rock.
Speaker 2: Maybe the size of that file cabinet right.
Speaker 1: A thousand pounds and imagine a thousand pounds crashing into earth.
Speaker 2: That's very for quite a crater. Now, the nice thing
Speaker 2: is it's.
Speaker 3: Gonna hit us.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, is that? I think they were saying
Speaker 4: it's Western hemisphere oriented. They believe sort of that's where
Speaker 4: it's going to come down. They don't know north to south.
Speaker 3: Do you like how I keep looking up at the sky.
Speaker 4: It's cloudy so you can't see it, so you know, Burbank,
Speaker 4: They said the landing location estimated to be anywhere between
Speaker 4: fifty two degrees north and fifty two degrees south.
Speaker 3: Okay, so what does that mean? Where is that?
Speaker 4: That's masking the wrong Seattle I believe is like forty
Speaker 4: degrees north. Is that right, Seattle or San Francisco?
Speaker 3: I'm very disappointed in you right now?
Speaker 2: Why are you disappointed in me?
Speaker 3: Well, if you're going to bring up the degrees thing.
Speaker 4: Seattle is at about forty seven degrees north, it would
Speaker 4: be inta oh, I see. Oh, well, into Canada, all
Speaker 4: the way down, through the United States, through the equator,
Speaker 4: all the way to fifty two degrees south.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a pretty wide of the planet, all right.
Speaker 4: But there's also a lot of water there, in fact,
Speaker 4: more water than there would be land mass.
Speaker 2: Right, So is a chance, Yeah, there is still a chance.
Speaker 4: If all you said was it's coming down right now,
Speaker 4: you could say it's more likely that it would come
Speaker 4: down in water. Most of the continents on the Earth
Speaker 4: do have property within that fifty two.
Speaker 2: Degrees north fifty two degrees south.
Speaker 4: So they're saying I think the official statement from NASA,
Speaker 4: which is I guess keeping her better eye on it
Speaker 4: than Russia, is something like this.
Speaker 1: Well, we'll see. We'll all be here together for it.
Speaker 1: I'm excited coming up next. Real ID now required for
Speaker 1: air travel in America. But if you don't have it,
Speaker 1: here's how to get around it. We'll tell you when
Speaker 1: we come back to Gary.
Speaker 2: And sorry you say that part.
Speaker 3: It's too late. It's too late. We're gonna have to
Speaker 3: do it when we come back.
Speaker 2: All right, you've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 4: You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
Speaker 4: forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
Speaker 4: and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
