WEBVTT - REMEMBER WHEN JETBLUE WAS FUN?

0:00:00.730 --> 0:00:03.140
<v Speaker 1>This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to KFI

0:00:03.220 --> 0:00:06.140
<v Speaker 1>AM 640, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand on

0:00:06.180 --> 0:00:11.240
<v Speaker 1>the iHeartRadio app. Got a text from Andy Riesmeyer over

0:00:11.260 --> 0:00:14.489
<v Speaker 1>at KTLA and here at KFI as well. He has

0:00:14.530 --> 0:00:16.050
<v Speaker 1>a show every Sunday.

0:00:16.989 --> 0:00:17.310
<v Speaker 2>He says.

0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>that he and his girlfriend were watching UCLA in a

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:22.160
<v Speaker 1>bar in the Marina in San Francisco, which is the

0:00:22.250 --> 0:00:25.389
<v Speaker 1>only UCLA bar in San Francisco. He said, a drunk

0:00:25.510 --> 0:00:27.670
<v Speaker 1>49ers fan came over to us and tried to fight

0:00:27.710 --> 0:00:31.470
<v Speaker 1>me for wearing a UCLA shirt in the UCLA bar.

0:00:32.070 --> 0:00:32.690
<v Speaker 2>I said, yep.

0:00:32.890 --> 0:00:33.590
<v Speaker 3>Sounds about right.

0:00:33.930 --> 0:00:37.449
<v Speaker 2>Yep, that sounds exactly right. Checks out. And I apologize

0:00:37.490 --> 0:00:41.300
<v Speaker 2>for my people. What else is going on?

0:00:43.100 --> 0:00:49.479
<v Speaker 3>Time for What's Happening. Well, projections are in. California voters

0:00:49.540 --> 0:00:53.740
<v Speaker 3>rejected the first-in-the-nation tax on the net worth of billionaires.

0:00:53.780 --> 0:00:56.450
<v Speaker 3>There was a huge ballot fight, of course, that generated

0:00:56.530 --> 0:00:59.630
<v Speaker 3>big spending, most of it on the side of the

0:00:59.670 --> 0:01:02.570
<v Speaker 3>people that wanted to defeat this. It's a win for

0:01:02.610 --> 0:01:05.570
<v Speaker 3>Democratic leaders who opposed it, including people like Governor Gavin

0:01:05.590 --> 0:01:08.910
<v Speaker 3>Newsom and the new governor-elect, Javier Becerra, who were both

0:01:08.970 --> 0:01:13.030
<v Speaker 3>opposed to Prop 40. A new California... What?

0:01:13.250 --> 0:01:13.610
<v Speaker 2>Why are we.

0:01:13.630 --> 0:01:18.590
<v Speaker 3>A new California law is going to require age verification

0:01:18.610 --> 0:01:21.190
<v Speaker 3>when it comes to purchasing fitness supplements.

0:01:21.569 --> 0:01:21.910
<v Speaker 4>Why is that?

0:01:21.950 --> 0:01:23.810
<v Speaker 2>Including creatine. Are those dangerous?

0:01:26.090 --> 0:01:27.979
<v Speaker 3>Even if they're slightly dangerous.

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 2>I've never heard about creatine being dangerous.

0:01:31.340 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 3>Anything can be dangerous if you have too much of it,

0:01:33.580 --> 0:01:34.039
<v Speaker 3>I suppose.

0:01:34.060 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 2>That is true.

0:01:35.180 --> 0:01:39.399
<v Speaker 3>Starting next year, anyone purchasing weight loss and diet supplements

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.810
<v Speaker 3>must be at least 18.

0:01:41.810 --> 0:01:45.070
<v Speaker 2>So I can't get my GLP-1 if I'm 16?

0:01:45.069 --> 0:01:50.210
<v Speaker 3>Correct. Well, that would be prescribed usually, but a medically

0:01:50.370 --> 0:01:54.530
<v Speaker 3>unapproved weight loss or muscle building product that can have

0:01:54.590 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 3>dangerous side effects like steroids, although who still... So you.

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.690
<v Speaker 1>Steroids are different now. They're just wrapped up under the

0:02:02.770 --> 0:02:04.550
<v Speaker 1>umbrella of supplements, I believe.

0:02:04.990 --> 0:02:08.590
<v Speaker 3>So you don't have to show ID to vote, but

0:02:08.650 --> 0:02:11.830
<v Speaker 3>you do have to show ID to buy whey protein.

0:02:11.990 --> 0:02:12.250
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

0:02:12.669 --> 0:02:13.090
<v Speaker 3>Well, no.

0:02:13.130 --> 0:02:15.910
<v Speaker 2>Is that under the... You have to buy protein?

0:02:16.070 --> 0:02:16.389
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:02:17.410 --> 0:02:17.690
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:02:18.220 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 3>Fitness supplement.

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.100
<v Speaker 2>All fitness supplements?

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:24.700
<v Speaker 3>Listen, I don't know. They're going to do this whole thing.

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:26.940
<v Speaker 2>I don't think protein powder is something you have to

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:27.679
<v Speaker 2>show ID for.

0:02:28.340 --> 0:02:31.619
<v Speaker 3>The law covers any supplement that's labeled, marketed, or otherwise

0:02:31.700 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 3>represented for the purpose of achieving weight loss or muscle building,

0:02:35.700 --> 0:02:46.190
<v Speaker 3>including steroids, green tea extract, raspberry ketone, garcinia cambogia, and

0:02:46.310 --> 0:02:49.850
<v Speaker 3>green coffee bean extract.

0:02:49.889 --> 0:02:51.970
<v Speaker 1>Your green tea habit's going to have to go by

0:02:52.010 --> 0:02:54.250
<v Speaker 1>the wayside if you have to show your papers for that.

0:02:55.810 --> 0:02:56.730
<v Speaker 2>You're not going to like that.

0:02:57.389 --> 0:03:00.060
<v Speaker 3>So, Mike, My kid....

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:02.260
<v Speaker 5>Who....

0:03:03.460 --> 0:03:08.100
<v Speaker 1>NTSB, as we mentioned, has recovered the cockpit voice recorder

0:03:08.180 --> 0:03:11.780
<v Speaker 1>from that Learjet crash site in Florida. Hard to believe

0:03:11.820 --> 0:03:14.550
<v Speaker 1>if you saw the wreckage, or lack thereof, the crater

0:03:14.590 --> 0:03:18.610
<v Speaker 1>in the earth that this plane made. Near Green Acres, Florida,

0:03:18.650 --> 0:03:22.310
<v Speaker 1>all nine people on board killed. Yes, they have recovered

0:03:22.370 --> 0:03:26.250
<v Speaker 1>the CVR. And now they will.

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:32.540
<v Speaker 2>have it evaluated at the Vehicle Recorders Laboratory in Washington, D.C.

0:03:33.220 --> 0:03:36.210
<v Speaker 3>The follow-up to that half marathon in Santa Barbara, police

0:03:36.390 --> 0:03:41.470
<v Speaker 3>still saying they're looking into some suspicious circumstances. 27 participants

0:03:41.570 --> 0:03:44.610
<v Speaker 3>at least went to emergency rooms on Sunday during the

0:03:44.650 --> 0:03:49.660
<v Speaker 3>half marathon and just after, including two runners who said

0:03:49.700 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 3>they're receiving treatment in the ICU. Emergency medical personnel first

0:03:56.080 --> 0:04:00.710
<v Speaker 3>responded to a runner experiencing near syncope or feeling faint

0:04:01.450 --> 0:04:04.310
<v Speaker 3>at about an hour 40 minutes after the marathon began.

0:04:04.410 --> 0:04:09.050
<v Speaker 3>Shortly after that, other runners began requesting medical assistance. At

0:04:09.150 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 3>least one of the people has said, I was unconscious.

0:04:15.210 --> 0:04:18.290
<v Speaker 3>I was awfully suspicious, said one runner. We had people

0:04:18.350 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 3>saying they were hallucinating. I was unconscious for almost an hour.

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.700
<v Speaker 1>Which is why people started thinking it was a drug

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:29.239
<v Speaker 1>related situation was a water station spiked. Can you feel

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 1>that way? Can you have hallucinations which were reported in

0:04:32.690 --> 0:04:37.169
<v Speaker 1>a heat stroke situation? I mean, I fainted in the heat.

0:04:37.250 --> 0:04:39.950
<v Speaker 1>I have fainted in the heat before, but I don't

0:04:39.990 --> 0:04:42.310
<v Speaker 1>remember having hallucinations before.

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.339
<v Speaker 3>I guess. But again, I mean, we're talking about if

0:04:46.380 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 3>this thing starts early in the morning.

0:04:47.990 --> 0:04:50.310
<v Speaker 1>And also in a half marathon, sometimes you do kind

0:04:50.350 --> 0:04:52.690
<v Speaker 1>of forget what you're doing for an hour because you're

0:04:52.730 --> 0:04:53.589
<v Speaker 1>just still running.

0:04:53.610 --> 0:04:56.489
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because your body's trying to protect itself. You're running

0:04:56.529 --> 0:04:57.450
<v Speaker 3>for two hours.

0:04:57.490 --> 0:04:57.830
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:04:57.970 --> 0:04:59.590
<v Speaker 3>I mean, if you're that slow.

0:04:59.610 --> 0:05:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Sounds like someone's trying to talk himself up to a

0:05:02.740 --> 0:05:06.940
<v Speaker 2>half marathon. And his daughter wants him to run.

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:08.920
<v Speaker 3>Why is she doing it to me?

0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:10.220
<v Speaker 2>You're fine.

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Tony Romo was back on television last night.

0:05:13.570 --> 0:05:15.529
<v Speaker 2>I don't like... They call it a soft launch.

0:05:15.650 --> 0:05:17.810
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, okay, that's one way to put it. He was

0:05:18.089 --> 0:05:21.630
<v Speaker 3>on with the Pat McAfee secondary show, the one they

0:05:21.650 --> 0:05:25.180
<v Speaker 3>do on ESPN2, which I guess has taken over for

0:05:25.190 --> 0:05:26.200
<v Speaker 3>the Manning cast?

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:27.820
<v Speaker 2>The Manning cast isn't there any longer?

0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:27.900
<v Speaker 6>No.

0:05:28.540 --> 0:05:29.020
<v Speaker 4>Oh, really?

0:05:29.100 --> 0:05:30.900
<v Speaker 3>They're doing a Pat McAfee thing where he's on the

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:34.060
<v Speaker 3>side of the... where he's on the field, and he's

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 3>doing his own sort of version of live commentary from

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:40.039
<v Speaker 3>the field level.

0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Interesting.

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:42.930
<v Speaker 4>It's... Is it? I don't know.

0:05:43.230 --> 0:05:43.750
<v Speaker 2>It's different.

0:05:43.870 --> 0:05:46.089
<v Speaker 3>It's different. It's a different way to do it. I

0:05:46.170 --> 0:05:47.890
<v Speaker 3>actually liked the Manning cast.

0:05:47.910 --> 0:05:49.070
<v Speaker 2>Why did they pull the plug on that?

0:05:49.420 --> 0:05:49.740
<v Speaker 5>I don't know.

0:05:49.940 --> 0:05:52.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if it's a... They weren't doing it

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:53.779
<v Speaker 3>every week. I know that.

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:54.150
<v Speaker 7>Oh, I see.

0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:55.760
<v Speaker 3>During the season. And I don't know if this is

0:05:55.779 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 3>sort of, this is on while they're off.

0:05:58.779 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 2>I see.

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 3>But I like those guys talking about football stuff. It's

0:06:01.860 --> 0:06:02.919
<v Speaker 3>super nuts and bolts.

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:03.919
<v Speaker 2>They're funny.

0:06:04.100 --> 0:06:05.060
<v Speaker 3>The interviews are awful.

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.100
<v Speaker 2>They're very funny. Oh, yeah, because it's a Zoom situation.

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:11.060
<v Speaker 3>It's a Zoom thing, and it's delayed, and it's just bad.

0:06:13.180 --> 0:06:18.500
<v Speaker 3>firefighters fighting a re-ignition at a hardwood floor supply business

0:06:18.540 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 3>in the central Alameda neighborhood of L.A. It said it

0:06:20.820 --> 0:06:23.490
<v Speaker 3>burned some of the power lines in the area. The

0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:27.670
<v Speaker 3>fire started about 1 in the morning yesterday at the

0:06:27.690 --> 0:06:29.390
<v Speaker 3>100-by-100-foot commercial building.

0:06:29.950 --> 0:06:30.089
<v Speaker 7>L.A.

0:06:30.130 --> 0:06:32.570
<v Speaker 3>Fire Department said it had knocked down the fire about

0:06:32.630 --> 0:06:36.460
<v Speaker 3>four hours later, but then flare-ups reported early this morning.

0:06:36.540 --> 0:06:38.180
<v Speaker 3>So that's why they're back on the scene today.

0:06:39.020 --> 0:06:42.890
<v Speaker 1>The FDA says some popular GLP-1s are linked to a

0:06:43.010 --> 0:06:50.790
<v Speaker 1>rare risk of vision loss and blindness. Dozens of lawsuits

0:06:50.810 --> 0:06:53.370
<v Speaker 1>have been filed in state and federal courts against these

0:06:53.430 --> 0:06:58.380
<v Speaker 1>GLP-1 makers that allege the popular meds have permanently damaged

0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:01.020
<v Speaker 1>their eyesight. I feel like we've done this story before,

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:02.920
<v Speaker 1>that maybe there were whispers about this.

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Maybe they've just picked up more of a caseload.

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:10.570
<v Speaker 3>They want the... makers of GLP-1s to add warning labels

0:07:10.630 --> 0:07:16.780
<v Speaker 3>about the potential risk of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.

0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.700
<v Speaker 1>Who's going to make more money, the lawyers going after

0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 1>social media companies or the lawyers going after makers of GLP-1s.

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.900
<v Speaker 2>For lawsuits, whether they're fair or half-standing or not?

0:07:31.460 --> 0:07:34.690
<v Speaker 3>I think the makers of the GLP-1s could at least

0:07:34.770 --> 0:07:38.750
<v Speaker 3>point to The resounding successes that they've had.

0:07:39.290 --> 0:07:41.330
<v Speaker 2>Right, but the side effects is what I'm talking about.

0:07:41.390 --> 0:07:44.260
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I know that, but come on. At least you're thin.

0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 2>You gotta have a little.

0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:46.200
<v Speaker 3>Salt with your chocolate.

0:07:46.220 --> 0:07:49.580
<v Speaker 2>I know you're blind, but you've been into those paths.

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:51.780
<v Speaker 3>The one eye that looks good, the one eye that

0:07:51.820 --> 0:07:55.140
<v Speaker 3>still sees, can see you in the mirror, and it

0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:56.170
<v Speaker 3>likes what it see.

0:07:56.260 --> 0:07:58.710
<v Speaker 2>It's singular.

0:07:58.730 --> 0:07:59.170
<v Speaker 3>It's singular.

0:08:00.170 --> 0:08:01.150
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, that was awesome.

0:08:01.210 --> 0:08:04.130
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, Elmer. It's a smart joke, and Elmer's the

0:08:04.190 --> 0:08:04.990
<v Speaker 3>only one who got it.

0:08:05.190 --> 0:08:12.620
<v Speaker 2>A smart joke. All right. Swap one. I'll be busy

0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 2>over here looing the bar.

0:08:14.020 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 3>Is it lunchtime?

0:08:14.780 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 6>Hey.

0:08:15.780 --> 0:08:16.000
<v Speaker 4>What?

0:08:17.580 --> 0:08:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Us men get hungry.

0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:20.620
<v Speaker 3>Well, you didn't even wait till the commercial break before

0:08:20.660 --> 0:08:23.540
<v Speaker 3>he started packing it away. Jeez.

0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:24.250

<v Speaker 3>call somebody else, as a matter of fact.

0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 7>Hey, Gary and Shannon, it's Kevin from Ventura.

0:09:04.260 --> 0:09:04.660
<v Speaker 3>Hey, Kev.

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:09.320
<v Speaker 7>And I transport Toyotas all over California from San Diego

0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:14.050
<v Speaker 7>to Salinas and everywhere in between. So I have a

0:09:14.110 --> 0:09:17.200
<v Speaker 7>satchel and my wife has an Apple AirTag in there

0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.420
<v Speaker 7>so she can see how far north or south I go.

0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 3>That's what she says.

0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.179
<v Speaker 7>Or she says, in case it stops, they'll know where

0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.250
<v Speaker 7>to find me if I have a heart attack. What

0:09:28.270 --> 0:09:28.829
<v Speaker 7>do you think?

0:09:29.150 --> 0:09:31.890
<v Speaker 2>I think she's looking out for you.

0:09:31.910 --> 0:09:32.710
<v Speaker 3>She's tracking you.

0:09:32.770 --> 0:09:33.910
<v Speaker 8>What's up, Team Gaff?

0:09:33.970 --> 0:09:34.429
<v Speaker 3>You know what?

0:09:34.510 --> 0:09:36.229
<v Speaker 1>I was going to say, he doesn't sound like somebody

0:09:36.270 --> 0:09:37.650
<v Speaker 1>I would have to worry about. He sounds like a

0:09:37.690 --> 0:09:38.150
<v Speaker 1>good guy.

0:09:38.190 --> 0:09:39.050
<v Speaker 3>He can handle himself.

0:09:39.170 --> 0:09:42.330
<v Speaker 8>What's up, Team Gaff? The worst part about your kids

0:09:42.370 --> 0:09:45.550
<v Speaker 8>having your locations is they show up at the fricking

0:09:45.590 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 8>table at a restaurant and think they can have dinner

0:09:48.260 --> 0:09:49.440
<v Speaker 8>with you all of a sudden.

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:50.179
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome.

0:09:50.260 --> 0:09:52.020
<v Speaker 8>Now I got her and her fiance with me and

0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:56.030
<v Speaker 8>I got to feed them both. Turn your locations off, parents.

0:09:56.510 --> 0:09:56.950
<v Speaker 8>Turn them off.

0:09:57.470 --> 0:10:00.940
<v Speaker 2>That's funny. That's cute. Like, hey, I see you guys

0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.579
<v Speaker 2>are out for a meal. We too like to eat.

0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:05.080
<v Speaker 3>We too have meat for food.

0:10:05.100 --> 0:10:06.260
<v Speaker 2>We too have hunger.

0:10:07.220 --> 0:10:08.260
<v Speaker 3>It's time for Swamp Watch.

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.100
<v Speaker 2>I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar.

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:14.320
<v Speaker 3>And when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops.

0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:14.980
<v Speaker 3>Here we go.

0:10:15.020 --> 0:10:18.100
<v Speaker 7>The real problem is that our leaders are dumb.

0:10:18.140 --> 0:10:19.319
<v Speaker 2>The other side never quits.

0:10:19.460 --> 0:10:23.270
<v Speaker 3>What are you doing to my swamp? I'm not going anywhere.

0:10:23.350 --> 0:10:25.750
<v Speaker 7>So dumb. That is how you drain the swamp.

0:10:25.809 --> 0:10:28.050
<v Speaker 2>I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by

0:10:28.090 --> 0:10:29.090
<v Speaker 2>what has been, you know?

0:10:29.110 --> 0:10:30.530
<v Speaker 7>Americans have always been gullible.

0:10:31.150 --> 0:10:32.920
<v Speaker 3>But they're not stupid.

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.900
<v Speaker 6>A political blunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.

0:10:35.900 --> 0:10:37.760
<v Speaker 3>11 people voted for you with masks.

0:10:37.780 --> 0:10:38.679
<v Speaker 4>Swamp watch.

0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:41.059
<v Speaker 3>They're all cannibal. Not to bring up this name again,

0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.800
<v Speaker 3>but it looks like the House Oversight Committee has finally

0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:47.920
<v Speaker 3>released a report wrapping up their 15-month investigation into Jeffrey

0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.950
<v Speaker 3>Epstein and how the federal government handled the criminal case

0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:54.850
<v Speaker 3>against him. Among the findings that they toplined on this thing,

0:10:54.890 --> 0:10:58.290
<v Speaker 3>the president was not implicated in the sex trafficking operation.

0:11:00.370 --> 0:11:03.530
<v Speaker 3>that Jeffrey Epstein's abuse of young women continued for years

0:11:03.630 --> 0:11:07.760
<v Speaker 3>because of repeated failures from law enforcement and prosecutors, and

0:11:07.900 --> 0:11:12.260
<v Speaker 3>that the Justice Department did not adequately communicate around the

0:11:12.300 --> 0:11:15.660
<v Speaker 3>public release of the so-called Epstein files. This thing was

0:11:16.260 --> 0:11:19.390
<v Speaker 3>finally released today, just a short time ago, as a

0:11:19.410 --> 0:11:21.410
<v Speaker 3>matter of fact, again from the House Oversight Committee.

0:11:22.440 --> 0:11:24.540
<v Speaker 2>Is there still a contingent of people?

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.820
<v Speaker 1>I would look on X, but the last time I looked,

0:11:29.179 --> 0:11:31.760
<v Speaker 1>my algorithm got all messed up. But is there a

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:35.360
<v Speaker 1>contingent of people that are still hell-bent on the Epstein situation?

0:11:35.860 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 6>Oh, yeah.

0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:36.679
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:41.500
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, there's still a firm belief that there are people

0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:43.680
<v Speaker 3>who are being covered for.

0:11:43.820 --> 0:11:44.100
<v Speaker 7>I see.

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:49.610
<v Speaker 3>Very powerful people. So, yeah, there is still a lot

0:11:49.620 --> 0:11:52.150
<v Speaker 3>of anger out there. The other issue that's going on

0:11:52.350 --> 0:11:56.490
<v Speaker 3>in Washington, D.C. today is Thomas Massey, the Kentucky Republican,

0:11:56.970 --> 0:12:00.050
<v Speaker 3>who is an outgoing congressman. He's got about two or

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 3>three weeks left of service in the House of Representatives.

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:08.059
<v Speaker 3>Introduced articles of impeachment yesterday against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

0:12:08.100 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 3>You heard that during the show yesterday. This morning, the

0:12:11.940 --> 0:12:14.500
<v Speaker 3>Secretary of Defense took to the podium at the Pentagon

0:12:14.540 --> 0:12:15.350
<v Speaker 3>to defend himself.

0:12:15.450 --> 0:12:18.949
<v Speaker 6>Let's be clear about what this resolution actually does. It

0:12:18.990 --> 0:12:23.670
<v Speaker 6>tells our enemies, Iran... the cartels, every adversary watching that

0:12:23.690 --> 0:12:27.760
<v Speaker 6>the United States will actually punish its own warriors and

0:12:27.780 --> 0:12:33.400
<v Speaker 6>its own civilian leadership for successfully executing lawful military operations.

0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:35.820
<v Speaker 6>It puts a target on the backs of American warriors

0:12:36.700 --> 0:12:41.380
<v Speaker 6>by signaling that Congress will undermine their missions in real time.

0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:45.680
<v Speaker 3>This is not patriotism. This is sabotage.

0:12:46.900 --> 0:12:50.290
<v Speaker 1>All right, I've got some information about who is getting

0:12:51.350 --> 0:12:56.530
<v Speaker 1>their fires all burning to run for 2028 right now

0:12:56.750 --> 0:13:00.580
<v Speaker 1>on the heels of the midterms. The presidential race already

0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:03.840
<v Speaker 1>playing out in text threads and phone calls.

0:13:03.860 --> 0:13:03.980
<v Speaker 5>Mm-hmm.

0:13:05.610 --> 0:13:09.380
<v Speaker 1>The Politico names is the new set of Democratic power brokers.

0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:13.700
<v Speaker 1>What they're doing is they're looking to see who's calling

0:13:13.780 --> 0:13:17.140
<v Speaker 1>the people that won in those battleground states, like who's

0:13:17.300 --> 0:13:24.250
<v Speaker 1>reaching out to leverage those new Democrats in power so

0:13:24.290 --> 0:13:27.670
<v Speaker 1>that they can use them as stepping stones on the

0:13:27.710 --> 0:13:29.870
<v Speaker 1>way to 2028.

0:13:30.290 --> 0:13:33.540
<v Speaker 2>You've got Pete Buttigieg, J.B. Pritzker.

0:13:34.630 --> 0:13:40.650
<v Speaker 1>Wes Moore, the Maryland governor, Rahm Emanuel, Mark Kelly, and

0:13:40.710 --> 0:13:45.220
<v Speaker 1>Cory Booker have all reached out to various midterm winners.

0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:51.260
<v Speaker 1>Politico did a bunch of interviews with these newly elected Democrats,

0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.620
<v Speaker 1>and those are the names that apparently have gone to

0:13:55.179 --> 0:14:00.360
<v Speaker 1>people like Nancy LaCour in South Carolina, the Democrat Teresa

0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Benitez Thompson out of Nevada. Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, Chris

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:10.180
<v Speaker 1>Pappas in New Hampshire, and Annie Andrews in South Carolina,

0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.520
<v Speaker 1>and then New Mexico governor-elect as well. All these plays

0:14:13.540 --> 0:14:16.000
<v Speaker 1>that are states that you're just going to have to carry,

0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:19.000
<v Speaker 1>they've reached out to them to say, hey, congratulations.

0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we should totally hang out. Let's do some events.

0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:24.930
<v Speaker 1>Together, whatever they're saying. They're trying to get in the

0:14:24.970 --> 0:14:28.230
<v Speaker 1>door there to solidify that relationship so that they can

0:14:28.310 --> 0:14:31.410
<v Speaker 1>be welcomed with open arms on the campaign trail.

0:14:31.820 --> 0:14:33.820
<v Speaker 3>Pete Buttigieg was the first name that you mentioned.

0:14:33.860 --> 0:14:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Pete Buttigieg, that's right. And J.P. Pritzker, Wes Moore, Rahm Emanuel,

0:14:38.420 --> 0:14:39.780
<v Speaker 2>Mark Kelly, and Cory Booker.

0:14:40.820 --> 0:14:42.460
<v Speaker 3>Nobody picked Wes Moore.

0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Nobody picked Wes Moore?

0:14:44.260 --> 0:14:45.200
<v Speaker 3>You picked Rahm Emanuel.

0:14:45.260 --> 0:14:45.560
<v Speaker 6>I did.

0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:47.660
<v Speaker 3>I have Mark Kelly.

0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Who I'm now super hot on.

0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:53.240
<v Speaker 3>Elmer has Buttigieg and Pritzker.

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 2>I just have, I just, thinking about the Democrats, you know,

0:14:56.760 --> 0:15:02.130
<v Speaker 2>John Ossoff, Osef? Ossef. was my leader. And then I

0:15:02.170 --> 0:15:05.910
<v Speaker 2>found out that he's Jewish now. That means nothing to me.

0:15:06.610 --> 0:15:10.970
<v Speaker 1>But in the landscape of young Democrats, and I don't

0:15:10.990 --> 0:15:14.150
<v Speaker 1>know where he comes down on Israel and the relationship

0:15:14.670 --> 0:15:19.030
<v Speaker 1>with this country, but that's almost, it's a hard hurdle

0:15:19.050 --> 0:15:19.710
<v Speaker 1>to overcome.

0:15:19.730 --> 0:15:23.380
<v Speaker 2>That'd be- Unfortunately.

0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:26.620
<v Speaker 3>Which is funny because 50 years ago, it was just

0:15:26.660 --> 0:15:27.780
<v Speaker 3>the fact that he was Jewish.

0:15:27.900 --> 0:15:28.180
<v Speaker 8>Sure.

0:15:28.990 --> 0:15:32.130
<v Speaker 3>Today, it's not that he's Jewish. It's that there's an

0:15:32.170 --> 0:15:34.820
<v Speaker 3>assumption that you can make about his position on Israel

0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 3>versus Palestine.

0:15:36.020 --> 0:15:36.220
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:38.060
<v Speaker 3>And that's the bigger it.

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:44.400
<v Speaker 2>That's the anti-Semitic wave that has gone on is insane. Yeah.

0:15:45.100 --> 0:15:49.260
<v Speaker 2>In this country. And anyway.

0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.320
<v Speaker 3>I got to tell you, your team, you picked fourth

0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:54.840
<v Speaker 3>in that, but you came off with a pretty strong

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:56.780
<v Speaker 3>contingent of potential candidates.

0:15:56.800 --> 0:16:00.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I also think Ron DeSantis is sitting pretty right now.

0:16:00.780 --> 0:16:05.130
<v Speaker 1>Florida weathered the midterms. He has had distance from Trump

0:16:05.250 --> 0:16:05.750
<v Speaker 1>at all.

0:16:05.810 --> 0:16:07.030
<v Speaker 3>He did it right away.

0:16:07.230 --> 0:16:12.830
<v Speaker 1>And he's popular with the evangelicals, which remain the heavy hitters.

0:16:12.910 --> 0:16:13.950
<v Speaker 3>Military service.

0:16:13.970 --> 0:16:14.930
<v Speaker 2>Mm-hmm.

0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.560
<v Speaker 1>The only thing he has going against him is his height,

0:16:19.660 --> 0:16:20.900
<v Speaker 1>and I don't think that makes a difference.

0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:24.880
<v Speaker 2>Seriously, people are talking about that. And I don't think

0:16:24.940 --> 0:16:26.700
<v Speaker 2>it makes a difference. There were questions about whether or

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.230
<v Speaker 2>not he was wearing lifts in his boots. Like the

0:16:29.330 --> 0:16:32.050
<v Speaker 2>optics of the handshakes that he has with other people.

0:16:32.110 --> 0:16:34.330
<v Speaker 2>Who gives a crap how tall somebody is? What are

0:16:34.350 --> 0:16:34.870
<v Speaker 2>we doing?

0:16:34.890 --> 0:16:36.590
<v Speaker 3>Isn't that what we have AI for, is to make

0:16:36.610 --> 0:16:37.050
<v Speaker 3>people taller?

0:16:37.070 --> 0:16:39.430
<v Speaker 2>That too. Can we give him a couple inches?

0:16:39.750 --> 0:16:40.550
<v Speaker 3>Just a couple.

0:16:41.290 --> 0:16:41.570
<v Speaker 2>Anyway.

0:16:41.870 --> 0:16:44.430
<v Speaker 3>Go to a restaurant. My wife and I were at

0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:47.180
<v Speaker 3>a restaurant Friday night. It's not the greatest place. You've

0:16:47.220 --> 0:16:49.340
<v Speaker 3>actually been to an Italian place that we went to

0:16:49.420 --> 0:16:51.739
<v Speaker 3>one time.

0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 8>Oh, yeah.

0:16:52.580 --> 0:16:55.520
<v Speaker 3>And there was a kid there, not with an iPad,

0:16:56.540 --> 0:17:00.640
<v Speaker 3>but with a full-size... I shouldn't say full-size. That's not right.

0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:05.910
<v Speaker 3>A big firetruck toy. Not like a little matchbox car.

0:17:06.609 --> 0:17:13.250
<v Speaker 3>A big, probably 12, 15-inch long firetruck that made firetruck

0:17:13.350 --> 0:17:17.859
<v Speaker 3>noises at the table. Now, I was happy because the

0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:20.560
<v Speaker 3>kid wasn't on an iPad, but I was not happy

0:17:20.580 --> 0:17:22.340
<v Speaker 3>because mom and dad never took the batteries out of

0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:30.810
<v Speaker 3>that damn thing. And it just... Nobody thinks you're in

0:17:30.850 --> 0:17:32.990
<v Speaker 3>a restaurant with 40 other people.

0:17:33.130 --> 0:17:36.970
<v Speaker 1>That's a small restaurant where you need to be wary

0:17:37.030 --> 0:17:38.510
<v Speaker 1>of others' audio experiences.

0:17:38.830 --> 0:17:41.790
<v Speaker 3>In fact, it may say small in the Yelp review.

0:17:41.970 --> 0:17:43.830
<v Speaker 3>What you really want it to say is intimate.

0:17:44.270 --> 0:17:45.669
<v Speaker 2>Intimate. That's what I meant to say.

0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:46.500
<v Speaker 3>Intimate.

0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:48.520
<v Speaker 2>It's like rustic for a cottage.

0:17:49.020 --> 0:17:50.680
<v Speaker 3>Ooh, yeah. Charming.

0:17:50.859 --> 0:17:52.260
<v Speaker 2>I think I got that from Dean Sharp.

0:17:53.980 --> 0:17:57.570
<v Speaker 4>You're listening to Gary and Shannon On Demand from KFI

0:17:57.730 --> 0:18:00.150
<v Speaker 4>AM 640.

0:18:00.150 --> 0:18:02.450
<v Speaker 3>A couple of football things. One of Steve Young's daughters

0:18:02.530 --> 0:18:06.230
<v Speaker 3>won the Central Coast Section Open Division Flag Football Championship.

0:18:06.910 --> 0:18:10.840
<v Speaker 3>His daughter Layla is a senior at Atherton. The Atherton

0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:15.450
<v Speaker 3>Knights beat the Los Gatos Wildcats 1913. Have you seen

0:18:15.510 --> 0:18:17.970
<v Speaker 3>any of those high school flag football games?

0:18:18.990 --> 0:18:24.070
<v Speaker 2>No, I've watched. Sometimes they'll do halftime shows at the

0:18:24.210 --> 0:18:27.510
<v Speaker 2>NFL games. They're fun to watch.

0:18:28.430 --> 0:18:31.190
<v Speaker 3>I know that football is a thing. Some of those

0:18:31.250 --> 0:18:35.220
<v Speaker 3>flag football athletes, I mean, because you don't get to

0:18:35.300 --> 0:18:37.379
<v Speaker 3>see athletically, you don't get to see a lot of.

0:18:39.869 --> 0:18:43.070
<v Speaker 3>Physicality, I guess, with helmets and pads, and they're just,

0:18:43.930 --> 0:18:45.950
<v Speaker 3>in many cases, I don't want to say bogged down,

0:18:45.990 --> 0:18:48.520
<v Speaker 3>but covered up by pads. And you get to see

0:18:48.540 --> 0:18:52.340
<v Speaker 3>these just incredible young athletes in their thing. The other

0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:57.699
<v Speaker 3>football story is that Ryan Seacrest, what? Ryan Seacrest is

0:18:57.740 --> 0:19:00.139
<v Speaker 3>getting credit for helping his old high school in Georgia

0:19:00.180 --> 0:19:02.520
<v Speaker 3>get its own football stadium for the very first time. Oh,

0:19:02.540 --> 0:19:06.690
<v Speaker 3>that's cool. The Dunwoody Wildcats broke or will break ground

0:19:06.790 --> 0:19:11.369
<v Speaker 3>this month on what will be known as Seacrest Stadium

0:19:12.130 --> 0:19:13.270
<v Speaker 3>in Dunwoody, Georgia.

0:19:14.010 --> 0:19:16.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's, well, what am I, who am I

0:19:16.380 --> 0:19:20.580
<v Speaker 1>to say? I feel like you can give the stadium

0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:21.619
<v Speaker 1>without putting your name on it.

0:19:23.030 --> 0:19:24.530
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if it was his idea or the

0:19:24.570 --> 0:19:24.970
<v Speaker 3>school district.

0:19:24.990 --> 0:19:26.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure it was the school district's idea, but then

0:19:26.859 --> 0:19:29.660
<v Speaker 2>you declined. You politely declined. Why don't you just call

0:19:29.700 --> 0:19:32.359
<v Speaker 2>it Wildcat Stadium? Brought to you by Ryan Seacrest. I

0:19:32.380 --> 0:19:34.740
<v Speaker 2>think he actually played football.

0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:36.340
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you look at him now and he looks

0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:39.460
<v Speaker 1>more model-like than football player-like.

0:19:39.500 --> 0:19:41.870
<v Speaker 2>But I think as a kid, he played football.

0:19:41.910 --> 0:19:42.210
<v Speaker 3>Really?

0:19:42.230 --> 0:19:45.010
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Oh.

0:19:47.030 --> 0:19:47.330
<v Speaker 5>I don't know.

0:19:47.350 --> 0:19:49.189
<v Speaker 3>Did he play in high school or did he play... Yeah,

0:19:49.210 --> 0:19:49.590
<v Speaker 3>here's his.

0:19:50.660 --> 0:19:53.240
<v Speaker 2>picture of him playing at that high school.

0:19:53.310 --> 0:19:54.030
<v Speaker 4>Wow. Yeah.

0:19:54.050 --> 0:19:54.449
<v Speaker 3>Good for him.

0:19:54.470 --> 0:19:55.250
<v Speaker 2>That makes sense.

0:19:55.570 --> 0:19:56.740
<v Speaker 3>Bills beat the Vikings last night, 23-6.

0:19:58.990 --> 0:20:00.560
<v Speaker 2>Man, that was a hard game to watch.

0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:04.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I saw, I think it was a meme

0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:09.400
<v Speaker 1>this morning saying that the Vikings defense made Josh Allen

0:20:09.619 --> 0:20:15.160
<v Speaker 1>look like Carson Wentz and made And the, uh, when

0:20:15.180 --> 0:20:20.000
<v Speaker 1>the reverse is true, I mean, Carson Wentz struggled because that, that, that,

0:20:20.260 --> 0:20:24.219
<v Speaker 1>that Buffalo defense is, is legit as well, but he

0:20:24.260 --> 0:20:27.500
<v Speaker 1>was also awful. So Carson Wentz made the bills defense

0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:30.639
<v Speaker 1>look like the Vikings, you know, in that way, it

0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:32.850
<v Speaker 1>was like a good game with defense, but at the

0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:36.050
<v Speaker 1>same time, an awful game. Cause the quarterback play wasn't great.

0:20:36.109 --> 0:20:38.190
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Josh Allen's going to be Josh Allen, but it,

0:20:38.430 --> 0:20:40.650
<v Speaker 1>you know, It was a bit of a slog.

0:20:41.010 --> 0:20:43.219
<v Speaker 3>I mentioned that I went to that restaurant. People are

0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:44.760
<v Speaker 3>acting weird in restaurants lately.

0:20:44.780 --> 0:20:47.920
<v Speaker 5>Hey, Gary and Shannon, love the show. Just a comment

0:20:48.020 --> 0:20:50.320
<v Speaker 5>on the kid at the restaurant with the fire truck.

0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:50.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:53.500
<v Speaker 5>Do you think it was a possibility that he's on

0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:56.510
<v Speaker 5>the spectrum, that he might be autistic and that he

0:20:56.550 --> 0:21:00.430
<v Speaker 5>kind of needs that truck to just function in public? Anyways,

0:21:00.450 --> 0:21:01.490
<v Speaker 5>you might think about that.

0:21:01.550 --> 0:21:04.859
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Gary. Why don't you think about that?

0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:08.140
<v Speaker 3>I actually did think about that, but I don't know

0:21:08.220 --> 0:21:11.420
<v Speaker 3>very many kids who are on the spectrum that like

0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:13.020
<v Speaker 3>loud noises.

0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:15.160
<v Speaker 2>They don't like overstimulation usually.

0:21:15.180 --> 0:21:18.220
<v Speaker 3>So that was why I came to the decision. conclusion

0:21:18.380 --> 0:21:20.580
<v Speaker 3>in my mind that that's not what was going on.

0:21:20.690 --> 0:21:22.830
<v Speaker 1>I think you were kind of doing, you know, what

0:21:23.030 --> 0:21:25.730
<v Speaker 1>you think parents would do. What you would do is

0:21:25.770 --> 0:21:28.910
<v Speaker 1>a cost benefit analysis of taking the kids to the restaurant.

0:21:29.490 --> 0:21:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Do we want to take the kids to the restaurant

0:21:31.540 --> 0:21:35.400
<v Speaker 1>knowing they're going to be fussy or bored or loud

0:21:35.580 --> 0:21:38.280
<v Speaker 1>or what have you? Do we want, you know, and

0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:40.550
<v Speaker 1>how does that affect other people? I think that parents

0:21:40.650 --> 0:21:44.780
<v Speaker 1>often think about the things that outweigh what you want

0:21:44.820 --> 0:21:46.600
<v Speaker 1>to do as a family when it comes to considering

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:47.600
<v Speaker 1>other people, right?

0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:48.639
<v Speaker 3>That's what I.

0:21:49.640 --> 0:21:51.419
<v Speaker 2>You used to consider other people.

0:21:51.140 --> 0:21:52.220
<v Speaker 3>With your kids. I hope so.

0:21:52.500 --> 0:21:53.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if there's a lot of that going

0:21:53.780 --> 0:21:54.280
<v Speaker 2>on anymore.

0:21:56.160 --> 0:21:59.830
<v Speaker 3>There is a restaurant, Crevette, over in the West Village

0:21:59.850 --> 0:22:02.030
<v Speaker 3>in New York. One of the most popular tables is

0:22:02.210 --> 0:22:05.350
<v Speaker 3>actually one that the owners of the house, the owners

0:22:05.390 --> 0:22:07.850
<v Speaker 3>of the restaurant think is one of the worst. It's

0:22:07.910 --> 0:22:10.230
<v Speaker 3>not a good table. It's kind of in the middle

0:22:10.270 --> 0:22:12.490
<v Speaker 3>of everything. It's not against a wall. It's not one

0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:18.929
<v Speaker 3>of their big beautiful booths that they've got there. Eventually,

0:22:19.290 --> 0:22:24.490
<v Speaker 3>the owner asked one of the guests, why do you

0:22:24.510 --> 0:22:26.800
<v Speaker 3>guys sit here? Why is this table so popular? What's

0:22:26.820 --> 0:22:29.480
<v Speaker 3>going on out there that makes this so popular? And

0:22:29.500 --> 0:22:32.439
<v Speaker 3>they said it went viral on Red Note because of

0:22:32.540 --> 0:22:35.899
<v Speaker 3>an ideal photo shoot location that if you get the

0:22:35.960 --> 0:22:39.820
<v Speaker 3>camera angle just right at this table, you capture both

0:22:40.020 --> 0:22:43.550
<v Speaker 3>the floral chandelier and the wall size painting that the

0:22:43.609 --> 0:22:48.449
<v Speaker 3>restaurant commissioned from a local artist and that the algorithm

0:22:48.530 --> 0:22:52.070
<v Speaker 3>guided fans tend to come at brunch because the light

0:22:52.270 --> 0:22:56.230
<v Speaker 3>is the best. And they even, in many cases, bring

0:22:56.270 --> 0:23:00.290
<v Speaker 3>their own food to pose with. Why as a restaurant,

0:23:00.330 --> 0:23:03.490
<v Speaker 3>are you allowing someone to bring food in and take

0:23:03.530 --> 0:23:05.370
<v Speaker 3>a picture and then get up and leave?

0:23:05.710 --> 0:23:08.010
<v Speaker 2>You don't get any money after that. You have to

0:23:08.050 --> 0:23:10.850
<v Speaker 2>buy something. You'd have to buy something. You'd have to,

0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:13.260
<v Speaker 2>Tell them that they have to buy two drinks at

0:23:13.300 --> 0:23:15.900
<v Speaker 2>least and then charge $ 18 for a drink.

0:23:16.119 --> 0:23:18.670
<v Speaker 3>One of the owners says that on several occasions they've

0:23:18.710 --> 0:23:20.290
<v Speaker 3>not ordered any food at all.

0:23:20.430 --> 0:23:22.650
<v Speaker 2>That is bizarre. What are you doing with your life?

0:23:23.210 --> 0:23:24.870
<v Speaker 2>If you're taking your own food to a restaurant, just

0:23:24.890 --> 0:23:25.689
<v Speaker 2>take pictures of it.

0:23:26.090 --> 0:23:28.449
<v Speaker 3>This points to digital tools, they say, that have been

0:23:28.490 --> 0:23:32.160
<v Speaker 3>changing the way we interact with restaurants. OpenTable, for example.

0:23:33.020 --> 0:23:37.379
<v Speaker 3>There are very few places that require you to call.

0:23:37.530 --> 0:23:39.790
<v Speaker 3>I shouldn't say very few. There are a few places

0:23:39.950 --> 0:23:42.729
<v Speaker 3>who do require you to call to make a reservation.

0:23:43.030 --> 0:23:46.250
<v Speaker 3>They do not do reservations online. They don't do them

0:23:46.290 --> 0:23:48.930
<v Speaker 3>through OpenTable or Yelp or any of those that you

0:23:49.010 --> 0:23:52.030
<v Speaker 3>have to call and do that. That's probably the majority

0:23:52.170 --> 0:23:55.170
<v Speaker 3>of phone calls I have made in the last 12

0:23:55.170 --> 0:23:58.429
<v Speaker 3>months of my life is to make reservations. And I'm

0:23:58.450 --> 0:24:00.800
<v Speaker 3>not saying I've made them all the time. I'm just

0:24:00.820 --> 0:24:03.450
<v Speaker 3>saying that That's the kind of phone call that I

0:24:03.510 --> 0:24:04.610
<v Speaker 3>am now required to make.

0:24:06.670 --> 0:24:08.379
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm not a big fan of making phone calls.

0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:11.020
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what happened, but I don't enjoy it.

0:24:11.500 --> 0:24:12.580
<v Speaker 3>We just got out of practice.

0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:15.980
<v Speaker 2>And also, I think there is something to be said

0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:19.910
<v Speaker 2>for doing this job for a period of time where

0:24:19.930 --> 0:24:25.690
<v Speaker 2>I just don't talk as much outside of this anymore. Like. It's, it's,

0:24:26.150 --> 0:24:28.909
<v Speaker 2>it's talking for, for a while every day. I don't

0:24:28.930 --> 0:24:30.470
<v Speaker 2>think a lot of people do that. Do people do

0:24:30.510 --> 0:24:31.270
<v Speaker 2>that in real jobs?

0:24:31.290 --> 0:24:32.250
<v Speaker 3>You talk to your system.

0:24:32.510 --> 0:24:32.910
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:24:32.990 --> 0:24:35.450
<v Speaker 3>Well, people, well, there's probably people who make phone calls.

0:24:35.609 --> 0:24:37.149
<v Speaker 3>I mean, granted, I don't know who's answering on the

0:24:37.190 --> 0:24:37.590
<v Speaker 3>other end.

0:24:37.609 --> 0:24:37.770
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:24:37.790 --> 0:24:40.290
<v Speaker 3>You're making sales calls or something like that.

0:24:40.310 --> 0:24:43.580
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to do a corrections and retractions, or

0:24:43.619 --> 0:24:45.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know if it's that other than maybe

0:24:45.880 --> 0:24:48.680
<v Speaker 1>just a clarification about Ryan Seacrest. I don't want to

0:24:48.700 --> 0:24:51.630
<v Speaker 1>take anyone's high school playing career away from them. And

0:24:51.869 --> 0:24:55.369
<v Speaker 1>he played at Dunwoody High School in Atlanta early 1990s,

0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:59.100
<v Speaker 1>started on the O-line early on, center and guard, lost weight,

0:24:59.140 --> 0:25:03.000
<v Speaker 1>transitioned to defense, played strong safety, DB as well. His

0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:05.869
<v Speaker 1>former coach, David Kelly, described him as feisty and noted

0:25:05.900 --> 0:25:08.470
<v Speaker 1>that Seacrest was known to knock the crap.

0:25:08.210 --> 0:25:09.050
<v Speaker 2>Out of people on the field.

0:25:09.070 --> 0:25:10.609
<v Speaker 3>We're talking about Ryan Seacrest.

0:25:10.670 --> 0:25:14.570
<v Speaker 2>He was a starter on Dunwoody's 1992 Georgia 4A regional

0:25:14.609 --> 0:25:15.570
<v Speaker 2>championship team.

0:25:15.850 --> 0:25:16.129
<v Speaker 8>Wow.

0:25:16.810 --> 0:25:19.770
<v Speaker 2>Good for him. Give it up to Ryan Seacrest. You

0:25:19.790 --> 0:25:20.369
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't know it.

0:25:21.410 --> 0:25:21.909
<v Speaker 3>But you know what?

0:25:22.070 --> 0:25:25.990
<v Speaker 1>Offensive linemen drop weight and they're unrecognizable these days. He's

0:25:26.040 --> 0:25:26.880
<v Speaker 1>just like one of them.

0:25:27.619 --> 0:25:27.939
<v Speaker 4>Sure.

0:25:29.140 --> 0:25:32.200
<v Speaker 3>Whatever happened to JetBlue? Remember when JetBlue was supposed to

0:25:32.220 --> 0:25:33.240
<v Speaker 3>be the fun airline?

0:25:33.300 --> 0:25:35.100
<v Speaker 2>It was. It had a moment, didn't it?

0:25:35.140 --> 0:25:37.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, it did. They're just trying to get that moment back.

0:25:38.020 --> 0:25:39.240
<v Speaker 3>We'll talk about that when we come back.

0:25:40.740 --> 0:25:44.369
<v Speaker 4>You're listening to Gary and Shannon On Demand from KFI AM640.

0:25:47.350 --> 0:25:50.850
<v Speaker 3>I don't travel enough to have actually experienced a JetBlue flight,

0:25:51.070 --> 0:25:53.209
<v Speaker 3>but I do remember when JetBlue came around, it was

0:25:53.250 --> 0:25:56.669
<v Speaker 3>the big deal. You wanted to be on a JetBlue flight.

0:25:56.690 --> 0:25:59.560
<v Speaker 1>It had cool branding from what I remember. And then

0:25:59.619 --> 0:26:02.420
<v Speaker 1>the next one that kind of eclipsed it was Virgin Airlines,

0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:05.399
<v Speaker 1>which was like the fun airline. I remember like the

0:26:05.480 --> 0:26:09.469
<v Speaker 1>red eye to New York was just, you know, the flight. And,

0:26:09.530 --> 0:26:11.860
<v Speaker 1>you know, you get on board and it's the purple

0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:15.619
<v Speaker 1>overhead lighting and Richard Branson's the face of the company

0:26:15.900 --> 0:26:18.640
<v Speaker 1>per usual. But it just seemed like a cooler way

0:26:18.680 --> 0:26:21.240
<v Speaker 1>to fly. And they made it feel cooler. The flight

0:26:21.280 --> 0:26:26.830
<v Speaker 1>attendants had cooler outfits. The safety videos were animated. Everything

0:26:26.910 --> 0:26:30.070
<v Speaker 1>about it was like young and fresh and new and fun.

0:26:30.880 --> 0:26:33.560
<v Speaker 1>And then that went by the wayside. And then JetBlue

0:26:33.600 --> 0:26:36.850
<v Speaker 1>went by the wayside. And then we're back to people

0:26:36.910 --> 0:26:39.650
<v Speaker 1>on Southwest singing songs at the front of the plane.

0:26:40.570 --> 0:26:42.169
<v Speaker 3>With a sense of humor as they're making their way

0:26:42.190 --> 0:26:42.710
<v Speaker 3>through the safety tent.

0:26:42.730 --> 0:26:44.210
<v Speaker 2>They don't do that as much anymore, do they?

0:26:44.690 --> 0:26:46.310
<v Speaker 3>Not as funny as they used to be. It used

0:26:46.330 --> 0:26:50.320
<v Speaker 3>to be a five-minute stand-up routine. Now it's sprinkled in.

0:26:50.340 --> 0:26:53.380
<v Speaker 3>There's a couple of funny innuendos. Maybe you get three

0:26:53.400 --> 0:26:58.280
<v Speaker 3>or four laugh lines in the whole thing. JetBlue specifically,

0:26:58.340 --> 0:27:03.400
<v Speaker 3>when it started 20 years ago, was in a comfortable

0:27:03.830 --> 0:27:08.550
<v Speaker 3>in-between space. It wasn't a cheap, low-budget airline, but it

0:27:08.590 --> 0:27:12.570
<v Speaker 3>also wasn't one of those big legacy carriers that had

0:27:12.770 --> 0:27:15.929
<v Speaker 3>thousands of airplanes and tens of thousands of routes and

0:27:15.970 --> 0:27:18.790
<v Speaker 3>all of that sort of stuff. But it was able

0:27:18.830 --> 0:27:22.670
<v Speaker 3>to give you a comfortable, some perks involved. Like, I

0:27:22.690 --> 0:27:24.870
<v Speaker 3>think they were the first to have free satellite television

0:27:24.910 --> 0:27:27.990
<v Speaker 3>and free Wi-Fi on their airplanes. But that was 26

0:27:27.990 --> 0:27:30.919
<v Speaker 3>years ago. And they're saying a lot of the airplanes,

0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:34.500
<v Speaker 3>for example, that they started with 26 years ago are

0:27:34.540 --> 0:27:37.700
<v Speaker 3>still in service. Well, a 26-year-old airplane brings with it

0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:42.620
<v Speaker 3>some high maintenance costs. Add on top of that the...

0:27:43.170 --> 0:27:46.190
<v Speaker 3>fuel costs that have gone up exponentially in the last

0:27:46.250 --> 0:27:49.370
<v Speaker 3>couple of years, specifically in the last nine months or so.

0:27:49.390 --> 0:27:53.060
<v Speaker 2>I'm surprised we haven't seen a greater backlash on airfares.

0:27:53.880 --> 0:27:56.920
<v Speaker 3>They're finding other ways to do it. I mean, think Southwest.

0:27:56.940 --> 0:28:01.200
<v Speaker 3>Southwest has changed its seating policy. They've also changed their

0:28:01.420 --> 0:28:04.419
<v Speaker 3>luggage policy when it comes to charging for bags and

0:28:04.440 --> 0:28:07.159
<v Speaker 3>things like that. But JetBlue, they said, has found an

0:28:07.260 --> 0:28:12.619
<v Speaker 3>interesting way. It launched back in 2014. It launched a

0:28:12.680 --> 0:28:17.420
<v Speaker 3>premium cabin for transcontinental routes called Mint that had lie

0:28:17.460 --> 0:28:20.030
<v Speaker 3>flat seats. There was fares that were well below those

0:28:20.070 --> 0:28:25.210
<v Speaker 3>of the bigger carriers. And by the late 2010s, think 2017, 18,

0:28:25.210 --> 0:28:28.649
<v Speaker 3>it was the fifth largest airline in the country. But

0:28:28.690 --> 0:28:32.750
<v Speaker 3>in that last decade, since that happened, all of that

0:28:32.910 --> 0:28:36.410
<v Speaker 3>sweet spot that it found has shrunk. On the low end,

0:28:36.830 --> 0:28:39.780
<v Speaker 3>you've got new discount airlines that are coming online. They

0:28:39.820 --> 0:28:42.480
<v Speaker 3>don't have any frills, but they also have very cheap fares.

0:28:42.650 --> 0:28:44.290
<v Speaker 2>You don't get to use the bathroom, do you?

0:28:44.770 --> 0:28:47.450
<v Speaker 3>Not in many of them. There was a great, it

0:28:47.490 --> 0:28:50.810
<v Speaker 3>still exists, but there was a great route from Avello

0:28:51.390 --> 0:28:56.140
<v Speaker 3>that went from Burbank to the Bend Redmond Airport in

0:28:56.200 --> 0:28:58.840
<v Speaker 3>Central Oregon and a bunch of small airports like that.

0:28:59.240 --> 0:29:01.280
<v Speaker 3>And at first, when that thing launched, they were doing

0:29:01.360 --> 0:29:05.330
<v Speaker 3>flights for 49 bucks, 39 bucks in some cases. Now,

0:29:05.810 --> 0:29:06.490
<v Speaker 3>what did you get?

0:29:07.470 --> 0:29:07.790
<v Speaker 2>Nothing.

0:29:08.280 --> 0:29:10.720
<v Speaker 3>You didn't have any Wi-Fi. You didn't have any food.

0:29:10.900 --> 0:29:11.860
<v Speaker 3>There's no snacks.

0:29:11.960 --> 0:29:12.550
<v Speaker 2>No bathroom.

0:29:12.590 --> 0:29:17.310
<v Speaker 3>They would give you a key to the bathroom for $ 10,

0:29:16.630 --> 0:29:18.230
<v Speaker 3>but they would give you a little bottle of water.

0:29:18.950 --> 0:29:20.310
<v Speaker 3>Cute little Lavello bottle of water.

0:29:20.370 --> 0:29:20.930
<v Speaker 2>That's nice.

0:29:20.950 --> 0:29:22.770
<v Speaker 3>I do like the water. And listen, it's not a

0:29:22.870 --> 0:29:26.570
<v Speaker 3>five-hour flight. It was a two-hour flight or hour 45

0:29:26.570 --> 0:29:28.690
<v Speaker 3>or whatever it was. So if you can't make it

0:29:28.710 --> 0:29:29.230
<v Speaker 3>for an hour and 45.

0:29:29.230 --> 0:29:30.450
<v Speaker 2>Can I ask a question?

0:29:30.610 --> 0:29:30.970
<v Speaker 4>You may.

0:29:30.990 --> 0:29:31.070
<v Speaker 5>Okay.

0:29:32.180 --> 0:29:34.760
<v Speaker 2>What's the harm in giving out little bottles of water

0:29:34.860 --> 0:29:36.870
<v Speaker 2>right when you get on board? I know, I know,

0:29:36.930 --> 0:29:40.230
<v Speaker 2>takeoff and spills, but it's water. And that way people

0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:44.660
<v Speaker 2>don't have to wait 25, 30 minutes for water. You know,

0:29:44.680 --> 0:29:49.800
<v Speaker 2>some people have dry throats. Okay. I don't know. I

0:29:49.840 --> 0:29:52.220
<v Speaker 2>just think a bottle of water would be nice to have.

0:29:53.220 --> 0:29:55.260
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, like you just walk into the plane and it's

0:29:55.280 --> 0:29:56.360
<v Speaker 3>the first thing they give you?

0:29:56.400 --> 0:29:56.820
<v Speaker 5>Yes, yes.

0:29:57.040 --> 0:29:58.560
<v Speaker 3>Don't they do that in first class?

0:29:59.590 --> 0:30:00.450
<v Speaker 2>Of course they do, yeah.

0:30:00.470 --> 0:30:02.850
<v Speaker 3>Don't they give you something at first class? I mean, like,

0:30:02.990 --> 0:30:05.490
<v Speaker 3>you're the one who's not going to spill because you've

0:30:05.550 --> 0:30:07.270
<v Speaker 3>paid so much money to sit in first class?

0:30:07.430 --> 0:30:07.650
<v Speaker 5>Right.

0:30:09.550 --> 0:30:12.430
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. It's one of those things that I

0:30:12.470 --> 0:30:16.080
<v Speaker 3>don't get to know those things. But I didn't realize

0:30:16.100 --> 0:30:17.730
<v Speaker 3>you were such a water activist.

0:30:18.340 --> 0:30:21.260
<v Speaker 2>You know, I am, Gary. I thought you were going

0:30:21.280 --> 0:30:23.560
<v Speaker 2>to play me some American music on that computer. No,

0:30:23.560 --> 0:30:24.760
<v Speaker 2>I was not. You're shutting it down.

0:30:24.780 --> 0:30:25.140
<v Speaker 3>Shutting it down.

0:30:25.160 --> 0:30:28.120
<v Speaker 2>You're not engaging in this, are you? My new platform?

0:30:28.720 --> 0:30:33.040
<v Speaker 3>You know, the fun thing about airplanes is most of

0:30:33.080 --> 0:30:34.660
<v Speaker 3>the time you know when they're going to take off.

0:30:36.350 --> 0:30:41.590
<v Speaker 3>So if you had a dry throat issue, you could

0:30:41.670 --> 0:30:44.090
<v Speaker 3>get water yourself.

0:30:44.470 --> 0:30:44.750
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:30:45.090 --> 0:30:48.630
<v Speaker 3>And then get on the airplane and complain about it.

0:30:48.630 --> 0:30:48.830
<v Speaker 6>Right.

0:30:50.650 --> 0:30:50.910
<v Speaker 3>Hmm.

0:30:53.660 --> 0:30:56.080
<v Speaker 2>This is coming from somebody who does not plan correctly.

0:30:57.680 --> 0:31:01.610
<v Speaker 3>Wait, you or me? You don't plan your fluids? Is

0:31:01.630 --> 0:31:02.170
<v Speaker 3>that what you're saying?

0:31:02.390 --> 0:31:05.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't do the whole bring the water bottle, fill

0:31:05.100 --> 0:31:07.520
<v Speaker 1>it up at the airport, empty it, then fill it

0:31:07.580 --> 0:31:08.560
<v Speaker 1>up at the airport.

0:31:09.080 --> 0:31:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Then don't, you know, don't.

0:31:10.280 --> 0:31:14.510
<v Speaker 1>Waste the plastic. Use the same water bottle. I know

0:31:14.530 --> 0:31:16.730
<v Speaker 1>what I'm supposed to do. I just don't do it.

0:31:17.270 --> 0:31:18.150
<v Speaker 2>Elmer, are you with me?

0:31:18.170 --> 0:31:19.650
<v Speaker 3>I'm so with you right now.

0:31:19.670 --> 0:31:20.490
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, sir.

0:31:20.510 --> 0:31:22.110
<v Speaker 3>No, me and Matt are going in right now.

0:31:22.150 --> 0:31:22.950
<v Speaker 2>Let's go.

0:31:22.990 --> 0:31:23.230
<v Speaker 7>Yes.

0:31:23.930 --> 0:31:26.250
<v Speaker 2>Little bottles of water for everybody.

0:31:26.970 --> 0:31:29.110
<v Speaker 3>You should bring a whole case of them and then

0:31:29.170 --> 0:31:30.630
<v Speaker 3>pass them out as people come by.

0:31:30.730 --> 0:31:33.310
<v Speaker 2>You should help me with that.

0:31:33.430 --> 0:31:33.770
<v Speaker 6>I will.

0:31:33.910 --> 0:31:34.530
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much.

0:31:34.550 --> 0:31:36.610
<v Speaker 3>Thank you for pulling back. The second time today you've

0:31:36.630 --> 0:31:37.330
<v Speaker 3>pulled the nose.

0:31:37.190 --> 0:31:38.550
<v Speaker 2>Up on something bad that was about to happen. That's

0:31:38.590 --> 0:31:39.610
<v Speaker 2>what I do. It's who I am.

0:31:39.630 --> 0:31:42.320
<v Speaker 3>Monks and Merrill up next. We'll see you tomorrow. Stay dry, everybody.

0:31:42.340 --> 0:31:42.690
<v Speaker 2>Blessings.
