Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
Speaker 1: I AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
Speaker 1: demand on the iHeartRadio APT.
Speaker 2: We've got swamp watch.
Speaker 3: Swamp is horrible.
Speaker 4: The government doesn't work.
Speaker 2: Man make.
Speaker 4: It's like a reality TV show, A bad noos.
Speaker 2: Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C. Hey, Joe.
Speaker 5: A town hall too, clearly built on a swamp in
Speaker 5: so many ways.
Speaker 4: Still a swamp. A watch make, he.
Speaker 6: Said, drained the swamp.
Speaker 2: I said, oh, that's so hope keep you know the
Speaker 2: thing well.
Speaker 1: Trump escalated his personal attacks on Kamala Harris yesterday by
Speaker 1: repeating an insult so that she was mentally impaired.
Speaker 7: Joe Biden became mentally impaired. Kamala was born that way, she.
Speaker 8: Was born out.
Speaker 7: And if you think about it, only a mentally disabled
Speaker 7: person could have allowed this to happen to our country.
Speaker 7: Anybody would know this.
Speaker 4: She's talking. He's talking specifically about immigration.
Speaker 1: I believe Colin Yost on Senel is a Yoster or
Speaker 1: Jost Jost who's your chip Yost from LS Anyway, he said,
Speaker 1: which is odd that he said that, because that means
Speaker 1: he lost to a mentally impaired person in the way.
Speaker 9: Well, that was one of the things that he had
Speaker 9: said over the weekend. He also talked about the potential
Speaker 9: for there to be a very violent day. He was
Speaker 9: referring to the increase in crime and suggested that we
Speaker 9: should unleash law enforcement to fight back and fight for
Speaker 9: our communities.
Speaker 6: Now, if you had one really violent day, like a
Speaker 6: guy like Mike Kelly, put him in charge. Congressman Kelly
Speaker 6: put him in charge for one day. Mike, would you say,
Speaker 6: you're right here, he's a great Congressman. Would you say,
Speaker 6: Mike that if if you were in charge, you would say, oh, please,
Speaker 6: don't touch them, don't touch them, let them rob your store.
Speaker 6: Let all these stores go out of business, right, they
Speaker 6: don't pay rent. That did the city to the whole.
Speaker 6: It's a chain of events. It's so bad.
Speaker 4: One rough hour, and.
Speaker 6: I mean real rough, the word will get out and
Speaker 6: it will end immediately, end immediately. You know, it'll end immediately.
Speaker 10: Now.
Speaker 9: Everybody was talking about it over the weekend, suggesting that
Speaker 9: he was trying to institute the basically the script of
Speaker 9: the movie The Purge, or that whole series of movies
Speaker 9: where everything is legal for twenty four hours, like there's
Speaker 9: no I don't know.
Speaker 2: What hearts makes sense out of an excellent point.
Speaker 9: The present form President, by the way, is in Valdosta, Georgia.
Speaker 9: He's talking with hurricane survivors and those cleaning up.
Speaker 6: Which so many people weren't so badly hurt and in
Speaker 6: many cases sadly no longer with us. We love you,
Speaker 6: We'll love everyone everyone, I mean to be honest. We
Speaker 6: love everyone, and we'll be back and we'll be back
Speaker 6: again soon. We'll continue to help until you're bigger, I say, bigger, better,
Speaker 6: stronger than ever before. But again, you can't ever discount
Speaker 6: the fact that people are lost. A lot of people
Speaker 6: have been lost in this terrible this terrible storm, this
Speaker 6: terrible hurricane.
Speaker 7: What was it?
Speaker 4: Go ahead, go ahead?
Speaker 9: I was just gonna say that one of the things
Speaker 9: that's missing from this discussion about the response to Hurricane Helena, Helene, sorry,
Speaker 9: and the federal government's involvement, government in general, involvement in
Speaker 9: terms of recovering from something like this, is that a
Speaker 9: lot of times government gets in the way. There was
Speaker 9: a point that Rona Santis actually made this morning, which
Speaker 9: I thought was good. He was standing in an area
Speaker 9: that had been hard hit by the storm when it
Speaker 9: made landfall, and he discussed the problems with government swooping
Speaker 9: in after an event like this and pretending that government
Speaker 9: is the way it's all going to be fixed when
Speaker 9: so many of the time, so much of the work
Speaker 9: that has to be done, and so many of the
Speaker 9: stories that we hear are just people picking up for neighbors. Yeah,
Speaker 9: that's it, helping their name, making sure that that guy's okay,
Speaker 9: that they have food, that their dogs are taking.
Speaker 4: Care of them.
Speaker 9: Baddy downtown, it's not the big daddy downtown. He also
Speaker 9: pointed out that small businesses are going to be the
Speaker 9: engine that restarts first. So one of the things that
Speaker 9: he talked about doing specifically in the state of Florida,
Speaker 9: government wise, is removing a bunch of these regulations when
Speaker 9: it comes to small restaurants, for example, and food trucks
Speaker 9: and things like that, so that they can continue making
Speaker 9: money for their business and providing food and services to
Speaker 9: the people who live in the areas that are hardest hit.
Speaker 3: You have bureaucracy, and so the bureaucracy was saying, well,
Speaker 3: we don't know, that's not the way, dude, and my
Speaker 3: message is I don't have time for bureaucracy. We don't
Speaker 3: have time for red tape. So we are here to
Speaker 3: announce that I directed the Department of Business and Professional
Speaker 3: Regulation to issue an emergency order so that businesses like
Speaker 3: Roy's that were devastated in Hurricane Helene and want to
Speaker 3: be creative can stay in business.
Speaker 9: And he talked about it a specifically this small restaurant,
Speaker 9: this Roy's place that he was talking about.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a it was a nice wonder
Speaker 1: if that guy has a bounce back in him.
Speaker 9: Ron de Santis, Yeah, not if Donald Trump's on the scene.
Speaker 2: No, I need after and the frusher.
Speaker 9: He's young and I that was what was interesting a
Speaker 9: couple of weeks ago when we were talking about some
Speaker 9: Republicans who believe that the best thing to happen to
Speaker 9: the party, the Republican Party, would be a Donald Trump
Speaker 9: loss in November, because then you do have I don't
Speaker 9: want to say second tier, because I don't want to
Speaker 9: diminish their automatic win.
Speaker 2: Probably in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 9: Well, there's that definitely, But think about all of the
Speaker 9: other people who then had voices that were squashed by
Speaker 9: Donald Trump.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 9: I mean, whether it's Nicky Haley or Ron DeSantis or
Speaker 9: any number of other Republicans who are not the personality
Speaker 9: of Donald Trump, but a lot of the politics of
Speaker 9: Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: I was reading a review of hr McMaster's memoir about
Speaker 1: serving in the Trump administration, At War with Ourselves, and
Speaker 1: he talked about how Donald Trump does not care about
Speaker 1: the Republican Party and that world leaders, whether it be
Speaker 1: Poof or ishijin Ping or air to one, that they
Speaker 1: know that flattery is the way to get Trump to
Speaker 1: maybe not be on their side, but say things that
Speaker 1: are kind to them. But that is the way into
Speaker 1: the Trump world is to flatter him. And in fact,
Speaker 1: McMaster recounts this anecdote of him walking into the Oval
Speaker 1: office and Donald Trump has like a print out of
Speaker 1: a New York Post article where Putin says it denigrates
Speaker 1: the whole political landscape, all the politicians in the United States,
Speaker 1: how it's a broken system and they're all crooked and
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, but that Trump is a good guy
Speaker 1: or something to that effect. And Trump was like scrawling
Speaker 1: this note of thanks with a sharpie, and it's like
Speaker 1: send this to the Kremlin and McMaster's like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: did not send that to the Kremlin, but that he
Speaker 1: gets so into those compliments everyone else be damned right.
Speaker 1: It's all about number one, and it's just like, who
Speaker 1: cares that putin? Just put down all of the people
Speaker 1: that you need to work with to get things done.
Speaker 9: In this country. As long as he said the right
Speaker 9: thing to the right guy. Yes, the audience have won there.
Speaker 9: All right, when we come back, we'll talk a little
Speaker 9: bit more about what Kamala Harris has been up to
Speaker 9: all weekend and tomorrow night's debate between Jade Vance and
Speaker 9: Tim Walls. That's all coming up on Swamp Watch and
Speaker 9: your Chance at a thousand bucks around.
Speaker 1: That's exciting and the Jeopardy question, what a doozy this
Speaker 1: one is.
Speaker 8: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 8: AM six forty.
Speaker 9: Kamala Harris has said she does disagree with Joe Biden,
Speaker 9: specifically when it comes to marijuana. She did an interview
Speaker 9: on the sports and culture podcast called All the Smoke.
Speaker 4: She won't sit down.
Speaker 9: With a journalist who has not endorsed her for president,
Speaker 9: but she'll sit down with a podcast called.
Speaker 4: All the Smoke.
Speaker 9: She reaffirmed her support for legalizing marijuana. She said, I
Speaker 9: just feel strongly people should not be going to jail
Speaker 9: for smoking weed, and we know historically what that has
Speaker 9: meant and who has gone to jail, she said. She
Speaker 9: added supporting marijuana legalization is not a new position. I
Speaker 9: have felt for a long time that we need to
Speaker 9: legalize it.
Speaker 1: See that's the kind of these are the kind of
Speaker 1: voters that may not turn out, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: these are the kind of voters I think that she
Speaker 1: needs to connect with to get them to mobilize to
Speaker 1: the polls. If she sits down with you know, NBC
Speaker 1: or what have you, those are stuck into Democrats who
Speaker 1: watch the news who are already going to.
Speaker 2: Vote for her.
Speaker 1: But if she gets the people who may be reluctant
Speaker 1: to get to the polls, that's smart.
Speaker 9: Are there enough of those independent, non committed voters left
Speaker 9: in this cycle for to do any of those types
Speaker 9: of interviews? I mean, I'm reiterating what I think you're saying,
Speaker 9: which is this is more likely to get somebody to
Speaker 9: get off the couch and vote right, even though they're
Speaker 9: high as f.
Speaker 1: The Democrats are all going to vote for her she
Speaker 1: needs to get the independence she needs to get to
Speaker 1: people who normally wouldn't vote, and that could make the difference.
Speaker 9: When former President Trump said that he supports an initiative
Speaker 9: to legalize recreational use of marijuana in Florida, her campaign
Speaker 9: said that this is blatant pandering. Hold on a second,
Speaker 9: so Trump can say he supports an initiative to legalize
Speaker 9: recreational pot and it's blatant pandering. She says she wants
Speaker 9: to go further to legalize marijuana, and it's not blatant pandering.
Speaker 4: She has not.
Speaker 9: Really mentioned a whole lot of marijuana policy since she
Speaker 9: launched her campaign. There's no reference to it on her
Speaker 9: campaign website. She has avoided answering specific questions about her
Speaker 9: position as recently as last week.
Speaker 1: Trump has openly admitted to hating overtime. He was in Erie, Pennsylvania,
Speaker 1: and he says, I shouldn't say this.
Speaker 8: I know I know a lot about it.
Speaker 4: Yes, I know a lot about overtime.
Speaker 6: I'd hated to give overtime.
Speaker 3: I hated it.
Speaker 6: I'd get other people. I shouldn't say this, but I
Speaker 6: get other people, and I wouldn't say I hated This
Speaker 6: is going to lead to a lot more. I think
Speaker 6: it's going to be economically positive. But I'm not even
Speaker 6: doing it for that reason. I'm doing it because, like
Speaker 6: the no text on overtime, it's something so good.
Speaker 1: So she her campaign seized on this immediately. Donald Trump
Speaker 1: is finally opening up to it. He's built an entire
Speaker 1: career unscrewing over workers, and it's exactly what he did
Speaker 1: in the White House and what he plans to do
Speaker 1: in a second term.
Speaker 9: As we get closer to this, a lot we're what
Speaker 9: thirty days, thirty five, four days as we get closer
Speaker 9: to this. Tomorrow is October. Everybody's worried about there being
Speaker 9: some sort of October surprise. Hillary Clinton's the latest to
Speaker 9: suggest that there's going to be something. Elon Musk has
Speaker 9: said that he would watch out for one. I think
Speaker 9: was the term that he used. There's a concern that
Speaker 9: Jack Smith, the Special Council's report on the January sixth
Speaker 9: trial and hearing a court case, I should say that
Speaker 9: that information was going to come out, she said. She,
Speaker 9: being former Secretary of State, Clinton warned that this October
Speaker 9: surprise quote, there will be concerted efforts to distort and pervert.
Speaker 4: Kamala Harris, she's talking about that.
Speaker 1: She said, the Pizzagate thing that Hillary Clinton was hit
Speaker 1: with wasn't that October her October surprise where Democrats were
Speaker 1: using this pizza parlor and child trafficking out of the
Speaker 1: basement of it.
Speaker 2: And it was so ridiculous. Remember that from twenty six sixty.
Speaker 4: Oh, I remember it.
Speaker 9: But the bigger, the bigger surprise was Anthony Wiener's laptop, right,
Speaker 9: I mean, that was the that was an actual thing.
Speaker 1: He's trying to take away any legitimacy that may come
Speaker 1: from an October surprise against Kamala.
Speaker 4: Herm the new Anthony Wiener laptop.
Speaker 1: Exactly move away from the classified documents and move to
Speaker 1: the radical they're eating the children, or they're eating the animals,
Speaker 1: and they're making the geese watch.
Speaker 9: She says, it was a huge story speaking of pizzagate,
Speaker 9: and it got one young man in North Carolina to
Speaker 9: get in his car with his assault rival assault rifle
Speaker 9: and drove up to liberate these non existent children and
Speaker 9: shoot up a pizzeria in Washington, DC. And she said,
Speaker 9: this is dangerous stuff. It starts online, often on the
Speaker 9: dark Web, and it migrates it's picked up by the
Speaker 9: pro Trump media, It's then reported on by everybody else,
Speaker 9: which makes sure it has about one hundred percent coverage,
Speaker 9: and then people believe it. So, she says, the digital
Speaker 9: airwaves are going to be filled with misinformation that can
Speaker 9: take a life, take on a life of its own.
Speaker 4: What are we doing there, Let's do hurricane stuff.
Speaker 9: We've got to bring back some of the information about
Speaker 9: what's going on in the aftermath of Hurricane Helen.
Speaker 4: Some areas absolutely decimated.
Speaker 1: We have no idea about exactly how big the devastation
Speaker 1: is right now, and people are trapped in their homes.
Speaker 1: They've got no food, no water, no yeah, no running water,
Speaker 1: they've got no power. Did you imagine being holed up
Speaker 1: with your kids like that?
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 8: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 8: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: How did y'all do Gas Fantasy four play? How's a
Speaker 1: tough slate of games, wasn't it?
Speaker 4: I did very awful?
Speaker 2: You did it very awful.
Speaker 4: I did it very awful.
Speaker 2: I'm very sorry.
Speaker 4: Hey, look at that.
Speaker 9: There's people who work here, yo. Speaking of which, I
Speaker 9: saw Krozer in the hallway already. You see him very
Speaker 9: often at all.
Speaker 2: It's your early. Very nice to see you always, nice
Speaker 2: to see closure.
Speaker 4: That's very nice.
Speaker 9: Yes, speaking of we did mention that the Monday night
Speaker 9: football header Tennessee at Miami is the first game. Seattle
Speaker 9: at Detroit is the second game tonight. Angels ended their
Speaker 9: regular season without so much as a whimper and ate
Speaker 9: nothing lost to the Rangers. The Angels had a franchise
Speaker 9: worst season sixty three and ninety nine.
Speaker 2: They were worse than the White Sox.
Speaker 9: No for the franchise, it was the worst record for
Speaker 9: the Angels. Dodgers ended their regular season a two to
Speaker 9: one win against the lowly Rockies. The Dodgers and of
Speaker 9: course with the National League West title on ninety eight
Speaker 9: to sixty four record. First round by their first game
Speaker 9: of the NLDS will be Saturday. They will not know
Speaker 9: who they play, of course, until later this week and
Speaker 9: the wildcard games are figured out.
Speaker 1: What we knew it was going to be brutal, and
Speaker 1: it turns out it was unsurvivable. As Helene smashed into
Speaker 1: Florida and the Gulf coast there and the Carolinas at
Speaker 1: least one hundred dead and we don't even know the
Speaker 1: scope of the devastation right now. The roads have been
Speaker 1: washed out in many places, just broken up, washed out.
Speaker 1: People are trapped in their homes with no way of
Speaker 1: getting emergency services in.
Speaker 2: It is dire straits out there.
Speaker 9: Yeah, the death toll you mentioned over one hundred, we
Speaker 9: saw one hundred and ten. I have heard a couple
Speaker 9: of different places that it's up over one hundred and
Speaker 9: twenty already, and the unfortunate part is it will continue
Speaker 9: to go up. One of the issues is communication, and
Speaker 9: as we heard from one of the Fox Weather reporters
Speaker 9: that was out in western North Carolina. His name is
Speaker 9: Robert Ray. He said, cell phones have been an issue
Speaker 9: for the for many of those people. Sell service, I
Speaker 9: should say so that even when it's coming in and out,
Speaker 9: unless you can have a dedicated line to contact the
Speaker 9: people that you need to be in contact with, they're
Speaker 9: still considered missing or unaccounted for.
Speaker 1: At this point, the governor in North Carolina has activated
Speaker 1: more than five hundred soldiers and airmen from the National Guard,
Speaker 1: including more than two hundred vehicles and aircraft. The aircraft
Speaker 1: being key because as we mentioned, you know, with the
Speaker 1: roads unpassable, they're going to have to hoist emergency assets
Speaker 1: and use high water response vehicles as well.
Speaker 2: And they're still in a life saving mode.
Speaker 1: They're still trying to save lives here because there are
Speaker 1: people in peril.
Speaker 9: The President did speak earlier today from the White House
Speaker 9: and said it's they'll be there.
Speaker 4: They the federal government will be there as long as
Speaker 4: it takes.
Speaker 5: As President, I've seen firsthand the devastating toll so disasters
Speaker 5: like this take on families and communities. I went on
Speaker 5: the ground many disasters area since I've been president. Man,
Speaker 5: I've heard dozens of stories from survivors about how it
Speaker 5: feels to be left with nothing, not even knowing where
Speaker 5: when they're back on track. I'm here to tell every
Speaker 5: single survivor and these impacted areas that we will be
Speaker 5: there with you as long as it takes.
Speaker 2: I seek you yourself.
Speaker 4: Excuse me, you want to cough again.
Speaker 1: They said it's going to be one of the costliest
Speaker 1: storms in US history.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 9: ACU Weather increased its estimate of the total damage and
Speaker 9: economic loss from Hurricane Helene to between one hundred and
Speaker 9: forty five and one hundred and sixty billion dollars. One
Speaker 9: of the reasons that it would be the most costly
Speaker 9: or one of the most costliest storms in the history
Speaker 9: of the United States is because of that storm surge.
Speaker 9: We saw the storm surge in Florida in some places
Speaker 9: reach well over ten feet, which is enough to inundate
Speaker 9: I mean entire towns where nothing escapes being flooded. Energy
Speaker 9: production in the Gulf is recovering. About three percent of
Speaker 9: crude oil and one percent of natural gas production in
Speaker 9: the Gulf of Mexico is still shut down. They do
Speaker 9: obviously shut those things down when the hurricanes roll through,
Speaker 9: but they do it all the time. So the good
Speaker 9: news is it's able to get back up and running
Speaker 9: as quickly as possible.
Speaker 1: Three firefighters from San Diego were seriously entered in a
Speaker 1: car crash on their way to help out there in
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Happen about two forty five local time near
Speaker 1: the Texas Louisiana border. They are receiving medical care in Louisiana.
Speaker 1: They were taken by air ambulance to Louisiana State University
Speaker 1: Hospital in Shreveport.
Speaker 9: These are members of the Fire Department's Urban Search and
Speaker 9: Rescue California Task Force eight. We're headed out there to
Speaker 9: assist in the efforts from the impacts. Of course, it
Speaker 9: includes forty eight people from multiple agencies, does Task Force eight.
Speaker 9: The remainder of the team was able to make its
Speaker 9: way to Texas. They're waiting further instructions, of course, but
Speaker 9: that's a pretty devastating if those guys are not okay,
Speaker 9: that's a pretty devastating loss of teammates at least, even
Speaker 9: if you can't I mean, even if they're not killed
Speaker 9: in this crash, the fact that they wouldn't be part
Speaker 9: of the team that you would expecting.
Speaker 1: I was looking for an update on the firefighters that
Speaker 1: were in that rollover crash a week ago responding to
Speaker 1: the airport fire, and I didn't see an update. Curious
Speaker 1: about that, any sort of good news coming out of that.
Speaker 1: I think six were seriously injured, eight in that rollover
Speaker 1: crash when they were coming back from working that twelve
Speaker 1: hour shift.
Speaker 9: The other thing is we mentioned how it is getting
Speaker 9: warmer over the next couple of days, some heat advisories
Speaker 9: and heat warnings up through Wednesday, because we'll see triple
Speaker 9: digits in a lot of places like including here in
Speaker 9: the valley. And I mentioned the public safety power shutoffs
Speaker 9: as of right now They didn't have any on Edison's website,
Speaker 9: but PG and E says that they've been forced to
Speaker 9: cut off power in a few places.
Speaker 4: For example, good.
Speaker 10: Morning, Gary and Shannon. Just to update you on the
Speaker 10: PG and E outages. My sister and her husband live
Speaker 10: up and Ready and they had their power turned off
Speaker 10: at nine point thirty this morning. Probably won't be back
Speaker 10: on till one o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Have a good day.
Speaker 10: Love you guys. Man.
Speaker 9: A lot of this stuff, whether it's these power shut offs,
Speaker 9: the hurricanes, the tropical storms, there is such an emphasis
Speaker 9: there needs to be such an emphasis on preparing for
Speaker 9: that when it happens to you, whether it's expected or not,
Speaker 9: whether it's a few days warning in a hurricane, the
Speaker 9: sudden earthquake, whatever it is, in terms of making sure
Speaker 9: that you have the ability to last through this. The
Speaker 9: public safety power shut offs in northern California are all
Speaker 9: in areas that have burned before she mentioned they're right
Speaker 9: around Reading. There's several right around Reading. There's a few
Speaker 9: just east of Chico and that Paradise Megalia area that
Speaker 9: we saw the fire burned several years ago, and then
Speaker 9: over in Glen County, they've also seen along where the
Speaker 9: Mendicine or National Forest is. They've seen plenty of fires
Speaker 9: there in the last couple of summers, and some of
Speaker 9: those areas have had their power shut off also, So
Speaker 9: just to be ready for it, especially when it's going
Speaker 9: to be warm and windy.
Speaker 7: Like it is.
Speaker 8: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 8: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Jamie Lee Curtis was recently asked about the secret to
Speaker 1: her forty year marriage to actor for actor Christopher death Guest.
Speaker 1: I keep doing that ACTI for Gaviner active for what?
Speaker 1: Why am I conflating words?
Speaker 4: You didn't speak very much all weekend until yesterday R
Speaker 4: in the game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I I did, and then you sat and read
Speaker 2: the paper.
Speaker 4: You got a lot of words jumbled around in that
Speaker 4: brain up in there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I spoke all weekend. I was at a
Speaker 1: social event Saturday and the birthday party. Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: on the air yesterday. And I'm never bringing in a
Speaker 1: newspaper here again because everyone has to say things about it.
Speaker 9: That's the first newspaper that's been brought into this building.
Speaker 9: And I would argue eight years's sad. Is that excellent point?
Speaker 1: I just think it's the fact that it's notable that
Speaker 1: there's a newspaper in a news day and everybody goes
Speaker 1: what Everyone's like, Oh, you're really getting into that, You're
Speaker 1: really enjoying that newspaper. It's like, well, that's you're supposed to.
Speaker 4: Read them, read them all right.
Speaker 9: Anyway, you have to explain to the people in the
Speaker 9: newsroom that that's like when you print out the internet
Speaker 9: and stack it all together.
Speaker 1: I'm so troubled by the fact that everyone's so shocked
Speaker 1: there's a newspaper here.
Speaker 2: Wow, I'm old, Okay.
Speaker 10: So.
Speaker 1: Jamie Lee Curtis has asked about her forty year marriage
Speaker 1: to actor Christopher Guest, and she says the key to
Speaker 1: this marriage includes patience, perseverance, and a really good.
Speaker 2: Dose of hatred.
Speaker 1: Hatred, she said, all of a sudden, you literally want
Speaker 1: to hate each other, and then the next day it's
Speaker 1: a pretty sunny day and the dog does something cute
Speaker 1: or your child does something cute, and you look up
Speaker 1: at each other and you're like, ah, gosh, and you're
Speaker 1: on another track. Relationship experts say it's normal for couples
Speaker 1: to experience moments of what feels like genuine hatred. The
Speaker 1: difference between couples who last and those who don't can
Speaker 1: lie in how they handle their.
Speaker 2: Emotions in these moments.
Speaker 1: Jane Greer is a marriage and family therapist author of
Speaker 1: am I Lying to Myself?
Speaker 2: That looks like a fun freaking read?
Speaker 1: She says, hating the person you love is the most
Speaker 1: common thing in the world. We think we're supposed to
Speaker 1: love our partner all the time unconditionally, but that's not
Speaker 1: the way it works.
Speaker 4: But that is the way it is sold, isn't it.
Speaker 8: I mean.
Speaker 9: The romantic movies, the even the ones that are less romantic,
Speaker 9: that are more you know.
Speaker 2: What, sex. Yeah, what do you watching sex movies?
Speaker 9: Well, I'm not saying I do. I'm saying Flow Weekend
Speaker 9: speaking forgebra here. But it's just the impression that that's
Speaker 9: always going to be the same.
Speaker 2: What is that you're always going to be in love
Speaker 2: like that? Oh? I see that there aren't moments of hatred.
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah?
Speaker 9: Because you would never listen if, say, Reese Witherspoon and
Speaker 9: Ryan Gosling.
Speaker 4: I'm sure they've done a movie together, have they not?
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
Speaker 9: If they did a romantic comedy service to us, wouldn't
Speaker 9: we would, it would be written in a way to
Speaker 9: make it seem like they're always going to be in love.
Speaker 2: Well, there's always an after they get past the first
Speaker 2: covert altercation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I do think that that is a nice
Speaker 1: trait is when you disagree about something or you feel
Speaker 1: irksome for whatever reason, and then you snap out of
Speaker 1: it pretty quickly.
Speaker 2: That's good. That makes you feel good.
Speaker 9: But what makes you snap out of it? I mean,
Speaker 9: is it something as simple or dumb as what she's said. Yeah,
Speaker 9: so the dog farted and surprised itself, and we can
Speaker 9: laugh at that. And therefore, you know what, honey, I
Speaker 9: don't don't hate you.
Speaker 1: Well, I feel like hate is being overused in a scenario.
Speaker 1: I don't think hate like pure hatred is a part
Speaker 1: of the recipe for a long marriage.
Speaker 9: If it is hatred, If it is hatred, maybe there's
Speaker 9: something bigger.
Speaker 1: Can be annoyed or di the disagreement irritated.
Speaker 9: Yes, I believe in laundry all over the place, can't
Speaker 9: find the hamper.
Speaker 1: I've learned to preemptively strike when it comes to you.
Speaker 9: Hate him first, before he has a chance to be
Speaker 9: irritated at you.
Speaker 1: No, no, I but I will say if I'm feeling
Speaker 1: a little irritated, I will give a heads up.
Speaker 2: I'm feeling irritated today, so that.
Speaker 9: How come we around here don't also get heads up
Speaker 9: like that?
Speaker 4: Can I make a request?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Okay, you know what, that's fair, You're right, I apologize
Speaker 1: for all of the eggshells scattered around. You have to
Speaker 1: have an obstacle course routinely the egg.
Speaker 2: Broken bottle, piles of urine.
Speaker 4: But you'll give a heads up, and how is it received?
Speaker 4: Then he'll know.
Speaker 2: You know, just don't talk to me, or just.
Speaker 4: Per space, or just don't talk about that subject.
Speaker 2: Or things that yeah, probably.
Speaker 4: Or past subjects that have raised.
Speaker 2: Years of dealing with crazy.
Speaker 4: So he's getting he's getting used to it by now.
Speaker 1: Well, it just knows the pitfalls those where those shells are,
Speaker 1: the broken bottles. So how often does your wife get
Speaker 1: annoyed with you?
Speaker 4: Many times?
Speaker 2: Really? And how does she? How do you know that?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 9: Well, it probably manifests itself in different ways. There are
Speaker 9: a lot of times where it's just quiet. Yeah, that's
Speaker 9: that's never good. That's never healthy. That's especially just because
Speaker 9: of who we are. We're just not we're not generally
Speaker 9: quiet people. I tend to be more quiet. Yeah, I
Speaker 9: have a lot of conversations in my head that never
Speaker 9: make it out my mouth.
Speaker 2: I need to learn that.
Speaker 9: Well, I'm not saying that's the best way to do it. Yeah,
Speaker 9: I'm just saying that that is a thing. So when
Speaker 9: and my kids have picked up on this too, which
Speaker 9: I think is strange because I don't see it in myself.
Speaker 9: But they'll ask me a question and I will answer
Speaker 9: the question, and then they'll ask me the question again,
Speaker 9: and I'll be like, I just I just told you,
Speaker 9: and they said you didn't say a word.
Speaker 4: Wow, I have this.
Speaker 9: I'm the machination in my brain of I'm developing the
Speaker 9: answer to the question that they've asked, and I convinced
Speaker 9: myself that I've already answered the question. And they're like,
Speaker 9: you didn't say a word. You just went blank and
Speaker 9: didn't answer the question.
Speaker 1: That's like biden stuff. Yes, you could go to the doctor.
Speaker 1: I should go to the doctor. Well, that's better than
Speaker 1: reacting too soon and saying something that could be damaged.
Speaker 9: Which is the reason I do it is because I'm
Speaker 9: I want to be careful with that. I want to
Speaker 9: be careful with the answer but then when you're too
Speaker 9: careful with the answer, then it becomes manufactured. Or you
Speaker 9: don't you don't make noise with your mouth hole at all.
Speaker 9: That can be a problem. Right, I'm sure other people
Speaker 9: have stories like that too, right where you can you
Speaker 9: can love somebody, but you're like, I don't want to.
Speaker 4: I don't want to. I don't want to have to
Speaker 4: live with that person.
Speaker 2: Right now or right now. Yeah, I want to be
Speaker 2: alone right now or I want to or people and.
