Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app. But like my bladder had evolved.
Speaker 1: You know how the humans we evolve for change, We adapt,
Speaker 1: We evolve over time to make us more amenable to
Speaker 1: our surroundings. Sure, when I was a reporter, my bladder evolved,
Speaker 1: It really did. It went through an evolution of being
Speaker 1: a normal bladder to a bladder that could hold a
Speaker 1: lot of p Because when you're in the car your
Speaker 1: whole work day and you're going from story to story,
Speaker 1: there's just not time to pee. You're not thinking about it.
Speaker 1: There's no guaranteed, there's no guarantee seed pisser. Ye Oh,
Speaker 1: I can't say that. Why did I just say that
Speaker 1: out loud? Anyway, So anyway.
Speaker 2: Guaranteed, you can't say guaranteed, No go on anyway.
Speaker 1: So I used to be able to hold my pe
Speaker 1: like a camel. I mean, I really could get through
Speaker 1: the whole day without peeing.
Speaker 2: By delightful flower, you are, I am such a flower.
Speaker 1: And uh it was a thing. I was proud of it,
Speaker 1: Like I was proud of the evolution of my bladder
Speaker 1: that is gone ever since I got into this cushy
Speaker 1: studio with the climate control. Albeit I bitch about that too,
Speaker 1: but in the bathroom, that's right here all the time,
Speaker 1: right whenever you might need it, even when you don't
Speaker 1: need it. It's right there.
Speaker 2: On a whim, you could go and come, oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: four seconds.
Speaker 3: And now my bladder has evolved back to total crap.
Speaker 1: My bladder sucks. I have to Maybe this is also
Speaker 1: being old. I don't know, but maybe it's a combination.
Speaker 1: I have to pee now and I better I better
Speaker 1: pee or it is touch and go. And this morning
Speaker 1: with the traffic, I drove in the carpool lane for
Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes and I rolled the dice on that
Speaker 1: ticket because I was gonna pee the car. And like
Speaker 1: I said, I got a quartet right on my way here.
Speaker 1: What it's a small coffee. It's like a cappuccino but
Speaker 1: even smaller. And it comes in a small cup, like
Speaker 1: an eight ounce cup. And I'm thinking I would I
Speaker 1: think I was thinking about peeing in that cup when
Speaker 1: I was in traffic. And then the logistics of like
Speaker 1: taking chains off and like sitting the seat back, and
Speaker 1: then I don't know. And then I'm thinking, well, that
Speaker 1: cup's too small, and then if I overflow it, then
Speaker 1: it's all over the car. It's a whole thing. So
Speaker 1: I didn't and I I I raced in here, I
Speaker 1: went pe downstairs, I had to eat what bathroom.
Speaker 2: The one that everyone uses well ROAs.
Speaker 1: I didn't care. But anyway, what's done is done. But
Speaker 1: maybe some planning for the future in the form of
Speaker 1: a big gold cup from seven to eleven and a
Speaker 1: spare pair of pants, you know, just in case I
Speaker 1: pee my pants.
Speaker 2: You know, there are other ways to just be careful
Speaker 2: about it. How you you know, just in terms of
Speaker 2: watching you know where it comes from, right, you know
Speaker 2: why you have to hear an a yes?
Speaker 1: And before I left the house, I did think, oh,
Speaker 1: I got a pee, And then I was like, I'll
Speaker 1: just pee when I get there, because I still have
Speaker 1: that old bladder mentality that evolved bladder mentality. If I
Speaker 1: don't need to pee, when I have to pee, I
Speaker 1: go all day. I can't.
Speaker 2: Instead of a couple gallon capacity, you're down to a
Speaker 2: couple of teaspoons.
Speaker 1: Probably it's not good. It is not a good And
Speaker 1: now I'm kind of thinking do I retrain my bladder.
Speaker 2: Oh that sounds like fun. I can't wait to hear
Speaker 2: that story. It's like you're working your way up to,
Speaker 2: you know, four miles a week or five miles a
Speaker 2: week on the running trails exactly. Next thing you know,
Speaker 2: you're at thirty miles a week exactly.
Speaker 1: Ps. I did sign my husband and I up for
Speaker 1: a ten k in a couple of weeks. A couple
Speaker 1: of weeks, and I set out to see how I
Speaker 1: can run because I haven't done that in a few years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you got new shoes.
Speaker 1: I did get the new shoes. I ran about a
Speaker 1: mile and a half before I to do about four
Speaker 1: of those. Yeah. So after I did that a few
Speaker 1: weeks ago, I thought I should really start training for
Speaker 1: this thing. And then I did nothing.
Speaker 2: Ah okay, Well, you don't want to do two it
Speaker 2: once because that would be awful. You don't want to
Speaker 2: train your bladder while you're training for a ten k.
Speaker 1: There's a lot.
Speaker 2: I've got a lot on my plate. Well that's what
Speaker 2: I was looking forward to today. Hey, stock market continues,
Speaker 2: it's downward trendings. If nothing else, just for the simple
Speaker 2: volatility of whatever in the world is going on with
Speaker 2: our tariff fight as of right now.
Speaker 1: And the Canadians pissed off Trump. I didn't think the
Speaker 1: Canadians could piss anybody off, but here they've done it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The Nasdaq is down the about a half a percent,
Speaker 2: s and P five hundred is down to about a percent.
Speaker 2: The Dow off more than five hundred points, about one
Speaker 2: point th three percent today. And all of this says
Speaker 2: from President Trump, saying that he's ordered the administration to
Speaker 2: raise tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum imports by another
Speaker 2: twenty five percent. That would bring the total to about
Speaker 2: fifty percent. Trump said he's going to impose the latest
Speaker 2: tariffs in response to the decision by the government in
Speaker 2: Ontario to slap a twenty five percent tax on electricity
Speaker 2: that Canada exports to the United States. That move was
Speaker 2: itself issued in retaliation to the twenty five percent tariffs
Speaker 2: that Trump placed on the imports from Canada.
Speaker 1: So we've got Canada, We've got tariffs on Mexico, China,
Speaker 1: plans for more possibly to come on Europe, Brazil, South Korea,
Speaker 1: pharmaceutical drugs, copper, lumber, computer chips. This could amount to
Speaker 1: a massive tax site Trump will deliver a afternoon addressed
Speaker 1: today to the Business Around Table, which is a trade
Speaker 1: association of CEOs. So we'll see what goes on. But again,
Speaker 1: the stock market be damned. Canada came out yesterday. Like
Speaker 1: you said, Raizo was electricity prices and hell, hath no
Speaker 1: fury like a pissed off President Trump.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he also made some comments this morning. We'll talk
Speaker 2: about that. We'll also talk about reporter from CNBC explaining
Speaker 2: why these terriffs on aluminum steel specifically are so important
Speaker 2: for the United States.
Speaker 1: That's coming up.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Gary Shannon KFI AM six forty Live Everywhere on the
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5: Like, the problem with your having to pee all the
Speaker 5: time all your prostata is.
Speaker 2: In large happens when you get older.
Speaker 5: You're getting a bigger prostrate, which is getting bigger. Your
Speaker 5: prostat is getting bigger, your prostatu is getting bigger. Banks doctor,
Speaker 5: prostate is getting bigger, well bigger, and your prostate is
Speaker 5: getting really really really big.
Speaker 1: Okay, does everyone have to go pee now? Because he
Speaker 1: said that, I have several different options when it comes
Speaker 1: to disposable urinal bags. Two different brands that have been
Speaker 1: sent to me. People don't let's see so sation forty
Speaker 1: eight pack, disposable urinal bags, portable camping, p emergency travel
Speaker 1: yet camping. Right, let's see here it's a bag for traffic, jams, hiking, pregnant.
Speaker 1: And then there's another brand. He says, actually these ones
Speaker 1: are better because they use gel to turn the liquid
Speaker 1: into a solid. It's called travel John, Hey, Shannon, just
Speaker 1: some advice, and fair pants is good. Extra pats.
Speaker 2: But don't forget a shirt because you're sitting in your
Speaker 2: seat and sometimes that's right up your back back here
Speaker 2: at the bottom part of your shirt.
Speaker 1: Also that would be now I know whoa that's a
Speaker 1: lot of pay so like it's like geyser going up
Speaker 1: your back like that.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if it would go up your back.
Speaker 2: I don't think it would. We're talking about tariff's. The
Speaker 2: stock market is sinking further. The Dow is down about
Speaker 2: five hundred points right now, again on top of the
Speaker 2: nine hundred it was down yesterday. This, of course, is
Speaker 2: the tariff trade war that is now boiling up between
Speaker 2: the United States. Right now, we're dealing with Canada specifically
Speaker 2: and the tariffs on steel and aluminum. Now, Megan Cassello
Speaker 2: is a reporter for CNBC and said, what reiterated what
Speaker 2: you said earlier, which is that the president is supposed
Speaker 2: to sit down at a business roundtable today.
Speaker 6: You will be talking with CEOs later today at the
Speaker 6: business roundtable, and not something to watch because I would expect,
Speaker 6: guys that he gets an earfull from manufacturers in particular.
Speaker 6: And I flag that because we know how this went
Speaker 6: five years ago or a bit longer in twenty eighteen,
Speaker 6: the first time President Trump imposed metals tariffs against Canada,
Speaker 6: because Canada is the major importer, the major source of
Speaker 6: US steel and aluminum. More than half of US aluminum
Speaker 6: comes in from Canada. If you take the next nine
Speaker 6: sources of it and double it, we still get more
Speaker 6: from Canada. They're also our top source of steel. We know, guys,
Speaker 6: that President Trump had always promised to lift his tariffs
Speaker 6: against Canada or against any country if any of those
Speaker 6: countries retaliated, and we are seeing that today in a
Speaker 6: very major way, guys, in a way that I would
Speaker 6: say is going to reverberate throughout this economy and across
Speaker 6: the markets today as well.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you've got the Ontario Premier Doug Ford responding
Speaker 1: to Trump with this raise in electricity prices. Right. He
Speaker 1: said on MSNBC today that the US people and its
Speaker 1: business leaders need to speak up against the chaos caused
Speaker 1: by Trump's launching of a trade war. His quote was this,
Speaker 1: Doug Fords was, if we go into a recession and
Speaker 1: itself made by one person, it's called President Trump's recession.
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be this way. We should be booming both countries.
Speaker 1: Trump said, I see your threat, and I raise you.
Speaker 1: He posted today on truth Social the only thing that
Speaker 1: makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished fifty
Speaker 1: first state. That would make all tariffs and everything else
Speaker 1: totally disappear. How serious is he about this whole Canada
Speaker 1: and Greenland acquisition? Like because he's ha ha, wink wink
Speaker 1: nod not about it, But yet it keeps resurfacing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, because I.
Speaker 1: Also wondered about the tariffs on Canada from go because
Speaker 1: if it was truly about fentanyl, you look about the
Speaker 1: number of the number of instances of fentanyl crossing the
Speaker 1: border that we knew about last year. And it's something
Speaker 1: like ninety seven hundred and change that we knew about
Speaker 1: different times that agents met fetanyl at the US Mexico border,
Speaker 1: ninety seven hundred and change. Canada it was nineteen times.
Speaker 1: And so if it's truly about fentanyl, which has always
Speaker 1: been my question, is is it really about the fentanyl
Speaker 1: or is it about which everyone agrees as a problem.
Speaker 1: But is it really about the fentanyl or is there
Speaker 1: some endgame we don't know about. And it can be
Speaker 1: about the fentanyl alone when it comes to Mexico, although
Speaker 1: I don't think it is. But what's the deal with Canada?
Speaker 1: It can't be about the fentanyl. What's the beef with
Speaker 1: Canada with imposing these tariffs? And is it truly the endgame?
Speaker 1: Be one of us and you won't face the penalties
Speaker 1: they're talking.
Speaker 2: I think that he's used fentanyl as a way to
Speaker 2: get into this discussion, but believes that the United States
Speaker 2: has been taken advantage of by other countries.
Speaker 1: For a long time, and that is what he said
Speaker 1: in his addressed to Congress last week, but in particular Canada. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean they're one of our major trading I mean,
Speaker 2: obviously simply because of location, among other things.
Speaker 1: But did come out about the dairy farming, like a
Speaker 1: like a two hundred and fifty percent or something increase
Speaker 1: or I'll have to look that up, but it did
Speaker 1: come out that Canada may be fleecing us when it
Speaker 1: comes to dairy.
Speaker 2: Well, and that's I mean, he at least just wants
Speaker 2: to shake this up. That's when that's been his tactic
Speaker 2: from the beginning, which is and that's part of the
Speaker 2: reason why he continues to impose the tariffs and then
Speaker 2: and then pause the tariffs. I mean, because he's getting
Speaker 2: what he wants. He's getting some movement in motion.
Speaker 1: Let me clean this up. President Trump noted on Friday
Speaker 1: correctly that Canada has tariffs above two hundred percent on
Speaker 1: dairy products imported from the US. Here's the yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 1: but those high tariffs kick in only after the US
Speaker 1: has hit a certain Trump negotiated quantity of tariff free
Speaker 1: day sales to Canada each year. The US dairy industry
Speaker 1: acknowledges the US is not hitting its allowed zero tariff
Speaker 1: maximum in any category of dairy product. So that's only
Speaker 1: after they hit that mark. And they don't hit that mark.
Speaker 2: Ever, yeah, now that specifically dairy, like you mentioned late
Speaker 2: yesterday on Truth Social Trump wrote, because our tariffs are reciprocal,
Speaker 2: we'll just get it all back on April second, which
Speaker 2: means if they imposed a tariff, we automatically impose the
Speaker 2: same tariff on their stuff. Canada is a tariff abuser. Again,
Speaker 2: this is President Trump and always has been. But the
Speaker 2: United States is not going to be subsidizing Canada any longer.
Speaker 2: We don't need your cars, we don't need your lumber,
Speaker 2: we don't need your energy, and very soon you will
Speaker 2: find that out. Make America great again. Doug Ford did
Speaker 2: say you mentioned this Ontario premiere. Doug Ford, he did
Speaker 2: say he does want to sit down with Donald Trump
Speaker 2: as quickly as possible. He said that last night about
Speaker 2: this thing. He said, we're seeing inflation happening already and
Speaker 2: it's unnecessary. We don't need to do this. We can
Speaker 2: have the two most prosperous countries in the world.
Speaker 1: We need to sit down as quickly as possible. Scott
Speaker 1: Peterson got into a fight in prison. He got into
Speaker 1: a fight over the weekend in the yard. Nearest housing
Speaker 1: unit is at Mule Creek State Prison, about forty miles
Speaker 1: outside of Sacramento. Do you want to know what the
Speaker 1: fight was about? Uh, here's a hint. Eaching your hair.
Speaker 1: Here's a hint. It was in the yard. He doesn't
Speaker 1: bleach his hair anymore. This is four square, clothes, dodgeball,
Speaker 1: Think twenty twenty five, Tetherball twenty twenty five, Cornhole twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five.
Speaker 2: Doja cat?
Speaker 1: Pickleball? Oh okay, but I do love you bringing back
Speaker 1: four square and tetherball.
Speaker 2: Well that was fun.
Speaker 1: Corn Hole. You kind of got closer to this day
Speaker 1: and age.
Speaker 2: Tetherball's probably dangerous. They don't allow you to do.
Speaker 1: Oh, they don't allow any of the things.
Speaker 2: I almost got strangled one time with a tether ball.
Speaker 1: We all did, We all did all right.
Speaker 2: While the uh, while all of our trade war is
Speaker 2: going on, there's a where's a significant attack that Ukraine
Speaker 2: launched against Moscow last night, And they're about to start
Speaker 2: talks with the United States about some sort of a
Speaker 2: peace deal out in Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot going on today. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: And it's like a full bladder.
Speaker 2: Of the ten happiest places in the United States, five
Speaker 2: of them are here in California.
Speaker 1: I believe that we'll talk about a bunch of stuff coming.
Speaker 1: Fresno is beautiful this time of year. It is. Nobody
Speaker 1: has said that at any point of the year.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app Shannon.
Speaker 1: Yes, for God's sake, could you learn how to pronounce
Speaker 1: words right? It's premier, doug Ford, a premiere or something
Speaker 1: go to in Hollywood. Get it right, not vital. That's true,
Speaker 1: We'll get it right.
Speaker 2: I looked it up dictionary dot com. We're Miriam Webster,
Speaker 2: the first pronouncer for p R E M I E
Speaker 2: R Premiere. That's the first pronouncer premier. Yes, the second
Speaker 2: one is Premier. Yeah, she's right.
Speaker 1: No, she's not Premiere. It's fine. It's okay to be wrong.
Speaker 2: So Fremont, California, is the top of the list as
Speaker 2: America's happiest city. Really, Yes, San Jose is number two.
Speaker 2: Irvine is number three. We took the three top spots.
Speaker 1: Wait, what was number two? San Jose?
Speaker 2: The studs I looked at twenty nine different factors across
Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty two of the largest US cities.
Speaker 2: Fremont has some things that other cities don't have. About
Speaker 2: eighty percent of the households and Fremont make over seventy
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars a year. That's more than anywhere else
Speaker 2: in the study. Fremont folks have hit the financial sweet
Speaker 2: spot because more than that doesn't really make you any happier.
Speaker 2: They say they have the fifth lowest depression rate in America,
Speaker 2: and they live longer than most people in other big cities.
Speaker 1: So it's a demographic life expectancy. What do you mean, Oh,
Speaker 1: who lives there?
Speaker 2: You said?
Speaker 1: You said seventy five thousand. I'm just curious.
Speaker 2: Eighty percent of households make over seventy five thousand a year.
Speaker 2: Marriages last longer in Fremont, only eight point nine percent
Speaker 2: of marriages in Fremont, and in divorce that's the lowest
Speaker 2: rate nationwide. And they said fewer Fremont residents report struggling
Speaker 2: with their mental health for long periods.
Speaker 1: So then there's a couple of others. You know, I think.
Speaker 2: Charleston's on that list when you go around the country.
Speaker 1: I think it's an Asian thing. Honestly, I don't know
Speaker 1: if Fremont is Asian. I'm going to look it up now.
Speaker 1: But and I'm not trying to.
Speaker 3: Be racist here, It's just that Asian population.
Speaker 1: It just come naturally. Asian populations tend to make more,
Speaker 1: they stay married, they are healthier, they move more. And
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at up what Freemont's demographics are. Okay,
Speaker 1: white nine Asian, sixty three percent white nineteen percent.
Speaker 2: San Francisco is listed as ninth on this list, ninth
Speaker 2: happiest city in America.
Speaker 1: Well, I'd be happy too if I was on oxy
Speaker 1: all day every day.
Speaker 2: And then Huntington Beach rounds out the top ten. Surprised
Speaker 2: I just didn't get to get higher than that, but.
Speaker 1: I can see that beautiful.
Speaker 2: Russian officials say that Ukraine attacked Moscow before dawn, the
Speaker 2: largest long range drone bombardment of this war. Both sides
Speaker 2: are stepping up ahead of whatever peace talks might materialize
Speaker 2: in the next couple of days. The Russian Ministry Defense
Speaker 2: claims it shot down about one hundred of the drones
Speaker 2: in the region around Moscow, more than two hundred and
Speaker 2: forty drones directed at other targets across the country. Also,
Speaker 2: the Ukrainian military said it was specifically targeting an oil
Speaker 2: refinery in Moscow, which provides about a third of the
Speaker 2: fuel that is consumed throughout the Moscow sort of urban
Speaker 2: and suburban area, along with an oil production station in
Speaker 2: a different region. Neither claim could be independently verified. There
Speaker 2: are some images that have shown that the drones were
Speaker 2: running into large apartment complexes high rise buildings throughout Moscow.
Speaker 2: At least three people were killed, They said eighteen others
Speaker 2: injured throughout the region. Four international airports around Moscow had
Speaker 2: to temporarily suspend the operations. Vladimir Putin was briefed on
Speaker 2: the attack. Their spokesperson said that air defenses did a
Speaker 2: great job. The told reporters that everybody has to stay
Speaker 2: on guard because these attacks would likely continue. Now.
Speaker 1: American and Ukrainian officials meeting in Saudia, Arabia today with
Speaker 1: that backdrop in mind, the first high level meeting since
Speaker 1: the Oval Office mess thatn't happened last month. They say.
Speaker 1: It was a conference room with the RITZ in the
Speaker 1: city of Jetta, where Marco Rubio and Michael Walls, the
Speaker 1: US National Security Advisor, sat down with a delegation from Kiev.
Speaker 1: They said that we want to have a very constructive, deep,
Speaker 1: friendly partner conversation. YadA, YadA, YadA. They were together for
Speaker 1: two hours in talks. They left for a break, and
Speaker 1: Michael Walls, the US National Security Advisor, told reporters were
Speaker 1: getting there, but no further details.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: Ukraine has proposed an immediate stop to air and sea strikes,
Speaker 1: but they want security guarantees before they lay down its arms.
Speaker 1: US we're pressing for an immediate ceasefire, and Russia, while
Speaker 1: not there, has signaled that it wants concessions of its
Speaker 1: own before any agreement is made. So still not all
Speaker 1: the lines of communication opened. Still not everybody coming to
Speaker 1: the table with a sense of urgency, at least it
Speaker 1: doesn't feel that way.
Speaker 2: But there is a meeting.
Speaker 1: Sure there is something that's going on, look at you,
Speaker 1: bright side.
Speaker 2: Ukraine is expected to press the case for a stop
Speaker 2: to the strikes on the Black Sea, trying to figure
Speaker 2: out if Moscow is actually willing to take any steps
Speaker 2: to end the fighting, just to say, hey, listen, you guys,
Speaker 2: cool it in the Black Sea area as the beginning
Speaker 2: of the baby steps that it's going to take to
Speaker 2: ratchet this thing down. Yeah, cool it, cool, calm your jets,
Speaker 2: all right, Southwest another major change that Southwest is doing ending.
Speaker 1: This is bad, This is very bad.
Speaker 2: They're just becoming one of the otheres at this point.
Speaker 2: They're losing sort of that that flare that they once had.
Speaker 1: We're gonna say, remember when remember when Southwest had this?
Speaker 2: Remember when Southwest was funny?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember when they sang songs and it didn't
Speaker 1: annoy you. And now it's just now it's annoying and
Speaker 1: they don't do it anymore. It's an airline. It's awful Gary,
Speaker 1: and it's not I love Southwest. It is this. It
Speaker 1: is the airline I choose to be honest. I also
Speaker 1: love Delta. I do not love United. I do not
Speaker 1: love United. What I have friends that swear by United.
Speaker 1: They that's all they fly. I hate you, and I
Speaker 1: don't even know why I feel this way. I just
Speaker 1: I had a couple experiences that were not stellar. I
Speaker 1: love Delta, I love Southwest, I love Alaska. Alaska is
Speaker 1: a great airline. I loved Virgin just hate that United.
Speaker 1: Maybe think about Frontier, Frontier site serviceable. What do you
Speaker 1: think about Spirit Spirital get you there? What do you
Speaker 1: think about Jet Blue? Jet Blue's lovely. I love that
Speaker 1: Long Beach air Airport has got to be the easiest
Speaker 1: one America, and I don't fly for whatever reason. I
Speaker 1: think it was nine to eleven. I don't know. You
Speaker 1: know that wasn't their fault. Yeah, I know, but I
Speaker 1: do still equate the ice still too. I think of
Speaker 1: American airlines when I think, unfortunately, whathonn Emirates. I have
Speaker 1: not flown Emirates. You know what I liked Singapore Airlines.
Speaker 1: I've flown delightful experience. They give you socks the whole bit,
Speaker 1: even when you don't pay the price for the good seats.
Speaker 1: I like socks.
Speaker 2: Boy, we're off to a rousing start today. You can't
Speaker 2: hold your urine and you really like socks. Wow, somebody
Speaker 2: enter us into the Hall of Fame nomination.
Speaker 1: Hey, we missed the podcast Awards and there's a reason
Speaker 1: why we'll continue.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Former Giants quarterback Daniel
Speaker 1: Jones in his close eyes, his eyes are very close together.
Speaker 1: I think I've ever noticed that he is close eye
Speaker 1: off to the Indianapolis Colt so one year, fourteen million
Speaker 1: dollar deal. Like I said, man, there's so many, so
Speaker 1: many moves going on. This happened last year too, where
Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, I'm going to need a float chart
Speaker 1: telling me where everyone is because big names are going
Speaker 1: to new places and it's happening very quickly. Yesterday we
Speaker 1: talked about Davante Adams going to the Rams. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just it's insane. Katie Porter is gonna run for governor.
Speaker 1: So back to the NFL. Did you ask who's asking
Speaker 1: for Katie? Najie Harris is coming to the Chargers. You know,
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh has more rushing yard, has a longer rush
Speaker 1: than Naji Harris. Jim Harbaugh has a forty one yard rush.
Speaker 1: Najie Harris's longest from twenty twenty two is like thirty
Speaker 1: seven yards. All more palatable than anything you're gonna tell
Speaker 1: me about Katie Porter.
Speaker 2: The other thing about Katie Porter is she said she
Speaker 2: would step out if Kamala Harris decides.
Speaker 1: To run for governor. Oh how sweet is that? Rich
Speaker 1: making way? You know, the thing about Kamala Harris is,
Speaker 1: and it's really indicative of all politics and all politicians.
Speaker 1: The stink from whatever failed last campaign, they have dissipates,
Speaker 1: and all that remains is name recognition.
Speaker 2: That's she lost to Adam Schiff. I mean, she lost
Speaker 2: to one of the most unlikable politicians for either party, and.
Speaker 1: Before the biggest sham in presidential candidacy ever.
Speaker 2: With the whole Biden stepping down.
Speaker 1: That was ridiculous, her whole campaign. When you look back
Speaker 1: on that and just look at the production that it
Speaker 1: was and the lack of substance and everything, it was
Speaker 1: a mess. And it all goes away, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: her failed attempt against Adam Shiff, all of that, All
Speaker 1: that remains is the fact that she gained name recognition. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's all the counts. That's crazy.
Speaker 2: She started her I just want to play a little
Speaker 2: bit of this is the beginning of this video she
Speaker 2: posted on social media.
Speaker 1: Team look at that. I saw that breakfast pizza. My Californians,
Speaker 1: hear a lot of excuses from elected officials. That's a
Speaker 1: complex problem. That's proving challenging. That's not my job. It's
Speaker 1: too hard. What a bunch of bulls.
Speaker 2: Okay, now you're launching a campaign to become the governor
Speaker 2: of the state of California and the first thing you
Speaker 2: say is what a load of bulls. I have often
Speaker 2: said I do want my politicians to get worked up
Speaker 2: and show some emotion, but when you're doing it in
Speaker 2: a campaign launch ad, you completely lose me completely.
Speaker 1: I also got to say, yes, it's a double standard,
Speaker 1: and yes I violate the rule all the time, but
Speaker 1: it's also in one ear and out the other. Not
Speaker 1: something I would say and then sign off on to
Speaker 1: be replayed a million times. When you're a woman, it
Speaker 1: comes across not the way you want it to. You
Speaker 1: sound crass and bitchy, and not the way that you
Speaker 1: want to come across to a wide audience. It's just
Speaker 1: the way it is. Unfortunately, the fact that she did.
Speaker 1: Someone had that idea, It was done, People listen to it,
Speaker 1: focus groups heard it, and they all signed off on it.
Speaker 1: Her included not good, it's a failed it's doomed from
Speaker 1: the goat go is what that says to me. From
Speaker 1: the from the goat, they suck.
Speaker 2: I don't know something about there, United Customer Service, the
Speaker 2: customer server planes, I don't know. I just yeah, it's
Speaker 2: a known for me, love you guys, for me, listen.
Speaker 2: I don't fly enough for it. To be a big deal.
Speaker 2: I don't, and I know people are like, I'm do
Speaker 2: or die a ride or die Ford man or a
Speaker 2: ride or die Chevy guy, or I'll never buy a
Speaker 2: car that's not a Toyota to me. There's nothing about that.
Speaker 2: There's nothing about the airlines that differentiate themselves from the
Speaker 2: other airlines. I know why travel in US, I know.
Speaker 2: And that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I mean, I but I mean, I'm not saying it's
Speaker 1: a knock. I'm just saying, like when people are business
Speaker 1: travelers like my friends that travel all the time for work,
Speaker 1: they haven't nailed down to what what airline is good
Speaker 1: for what route and for what benefits and if you're
Speaker 1: going to check a bag, this one's better than that.
Speaker 1: You have to really get into the minutia. The way
Speaker 1: that you and I travel. It's kind of like whatever's
Speaker 1: cheapest and going where we want to go. We don't care.
Speaker 2: I just want to non stop flight. That's I mean,
Speaker 2: that's ninety five percent of.
Speaker 3: The decision making totally, And like I absolutely I've just
Speaker 3: had a couple bad experiences with customer service when it
Speaker 3: came to United, and that's where that that's what that's
Speaker 3: based off of and there's something to be learned from
Speaker 3: that if you are a company or an airline, like
Speaker 3: one bad customer service experience can kind of shape your
Speaker 3: opinion about a restaurant, an airline, or what have you.
Speaker 2: Well, and that woman she didn't even she couldn't even
Speaker 2: h what's the word, She could not even expand on
Speaker 2: what it was about United that was so bad.
Speaker 1: She just had this feeling exactly, And we all do that.
Speaker 1: It's a very human thing. Was it you or my
Speaker 1: husband who said you were going to go get a
Speaker 1: beer and you walked into the place and you saw
Speaker 1: that the people working there were wholly uninterested in you
Speaker 1: or working or whatever was going on. I don't know
Speaker 1: which one of you it was. You're the only people
Speaker 1: I speak to.
Speaker 3: And that's just the kind of thing like you, that's
Speaker 3: that's the customer service hallmark.
Speaker 1: Like it may seem like it's not.
Speaker 3: That big of a deal, it's a huge deal to people.
Speaker 3: It shapes your whole view of a place.
Speaker 2: Well, Southwest, I think for a long time has been
Speaker 2: held up, especially for people on the West coast. Southwest
Speaker 2: has been a place where you could get an airline
Speaker 2: that was fun to fly it all. It went to
Speaker 2: all the fun little places that you wanted to go.
Speaker 2: You weren't flying it across the because you didn't have to,
Speaker 2: and therefore the fares were a lot lower. And now
Speaker 2: they're just turning into another airline. They're doing away with
Speaker 2: free checked bags.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and like you said, that really set them apart.
Speaker 1: Customers with the highest loyalty status will be spared from
Speaker 1: the fee that it's not us. We will have to
Speaker 1: pay for check bags for flights books starting May twenty eighth.
Speaker 1: The airline also working to add premium seats and the
Speaker 1: open seating policy that's been going on for a while.
Speaker 1: I thought that was going to happen at the first
Speaker 1: of the year with the open seating policy that they've
Speaker 1: been talking about getting rid of that for a while.
Speaker 2: Now I think it begins next month.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's actually twenty twenty six. Oh really last year,
Speaker 1: so they've just been getting us ready, like the real
Speaker 1: id Act or whatever. It's going to take a lot
Speaker 1: to implement that. You go from having no assignment system.
Speaker 2: To yeah, they're going to have patingments, all of those
Speaker 2: little pylons, yeah, out of their gate basically because you
Speaker 2: don't need those anymore. Be one through thirty.
Speaker 1: I've been a miss profiling people in the line, like
Speaker 1: when they come up to you and they've got to ask,
Speaker 1: or if they surreptitiously look at your phone to see
Speaker 1: where you're at and hold my phone like there's one
Speaker 1: good seat left and you're gonna get it.
Speaker 2: Come on, all right, up next the mistrial we talked
Speaker 2: about yesterday during our show. We found out about the
Speaker 2: mistrial because the jury was deadlocked in that case of
Speaker 2: the judge who shot his wife because of the arthritis
Speaker 2: and his shoulder.
Speaker 1: I think it was the couple pops before dinner, the
Speaker 1: couple pops at dinner, and the couple pops after dinner.
Speaker 2: I'll make me pop off. Miss any part of the show.
