All the Hollywood action seems to be happening everywhere but Hollywood, as the entertainment industry shifts its spotlight. In crime news, seven people have been indicted in what authorities are calling the largest jewelry heist in U.S. history—a massive job involving a Brink’s truck and millions in stolen goods. We’re also diving into a listener dilemma: “I don’t like my in-laws—is that a problem?” And to wrap things up on a lighter note, some brave little ducklings made a leap of faith, jumping from a bridge to reunite with their mother in a story that’s melting hearts everywhere.

This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Well, The Wall Street Journal is the latest, the latest
publication to come out with a story that talks about
Los Angeles' ailing movie and film industry and movie TV
film industry. And there's an interesting aspects anecdote that they
use at the beginning of this article that I think
is going to become the norm in some circles, and
(00:31):
that is a guy wanted to make a movie called
The Way of the Warrior Kid, a former Navy seal
helps his nephew deal with bullies, right and producer Ben
Everard showed the script to Chris Pratt, and Chris Pratt
signs on. He's going to help out, probably also get
an EP credit on this thing, star of the movie
all that, but Ben ever Everard said, Chris Pratt would
(00:55):
agree to do this on one condition, you got to
shoot it in La.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Scrubs.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
The guy from Scrubs, Zach Braff, in the process of
rebooting Scrubs, signed on to this deal. He's also going
to get an EP credit and said, you got to
do it in La Is.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
This because Chris Brott has a couple of young kids
and lives in LA.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
His wife is pregnant, is what is the reason?
Speaker 4 (01:20):
He said?
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah. But it's also and there is that.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I mean, he's doing it because he doesn't want to
have to leave his family for months at a time.
But there's also this aspect of the acceptance on behalf
of producers and in this case high profile actors who
become producers, that the industry itself is not healthy in
LA and they want to be able to make sure
(01:45):
that there is some significant footprint of Hollywood in Southern California.
Hollywood not the place, but Hollywood the industry, and to
keep it in Southern California. Obviously, the big reasons that
we've talked about him before that so many productions have
left is the incentives that other places give. Think of Georgia,
(02:05):
North Carolina, Nashville, Tennessee, Vancouver, British Columbia. They all offer
significant tax credits and breaks to companies that want to
produce there.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Well, I think it was Heather Brooker.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I heard her bring this up on Conway the other night,
and maybe it was just last night, and she brought
it up with us as well of can you name
a big movie star? Like who are the big movie stars?
And this may be what chips away at all those
productions going other places. If you are a Chris Pratt,
who I would argue is a big movie star. Now,
(02:38):
if they're demanding that they get to be they've made
their lives in la because this is where Hollywood is
or was, and this is where they want to film.
This is what everything their whole routine revolves around. Being
at home. That may move the needle a little bit.
I don't know who else would be part of that club.
To her point in terms of I'm not going to
(03:00):
Georgia for six months to film this and be away
from my family. I get it it's cheaper for you,
but I'm not going to sign on and then you're
stuck with somebody who's not going to.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Be a draw to the box office.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I'm fascinated with the way the power has shifted from
you know, fifty years ago, the studios were the all knowing,
all seeing, and all powerful when it came to Hollywood,
and actors were contracted to the studio and they were fungible.
I mean, you would whatever the Gary Cooper's and ever
that sort of rose to some amount of fame, probably
(03:34):
had more power.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
But it was always the producers.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It was always the studios that we're going to have
the ultimate say in how things were done. Now we've
seen that flip where these very high profile actors making
twenty twenty five thirty million dollars a picture, they are
the ones who now hold the power. They are the
ones who now have the say of that kind of
a thing. I don't want to do it in Atlanta.
I don't want to do it in Vancouver.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
But how many of those people are there? Not many?
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Right?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
That is where that's where it's gonna be, sort of
the where the rubber meets the room.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I mean, think of the majority of movies you've watched recently.
I've been streaming movies, and who's been in them?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I don't know who's in the majority of the shows
that I watch, the content that I consume that I
pay for.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
It was rare for me to go.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
To the movie and get that early screening, to see
F one and see Brad Pitt. I haven't seen a
big movie star in a movie in a long time,
you know, I went and saw Dakota Johnson.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
That's a big star. Now she carries that movie. The
materialists few and far between.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I think this all came to a head for me.
Was noticeable for me when I started watching the Cobra
Kai series because it's supposed to be in the valley. Like,
that's the whole thing about the original Karate Kids. This
is your hill that you're gonna die on. The karate
Kid in the Valley, done in the valley? Yeah, come on,
I know outside of Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
So what if they had like a karate Kid museum
in the valley?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Would you go to that? Interesting? That's interesting. I'm not
saying no. I'm not saying no. All right, coming up next,
Oh that jewelry heist. We didn't get to it yesterday.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, the jewelry heist which seemed like an inside job
the Brinks truck.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Remember this over was it the grape Vine?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, we'll get into all the answers there. Also, I
have a story about twins coming up. Okay, what were
you gonna say? I'm not because you were thinking the
fairies thoughts.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I was thinking the fairies, A couple of them, but
I won't say any of them.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
The Jewelry Heist.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
So a couple of years ago, a guy picks up
a truckload of jewelry and watches from the International Gem
and Jewelry Show up in San Mateo. This would be
July of twenty twenty two, and on July specifically, a
(06:01):
handful of guy scouted this Brinx semi truck, which was
loaded with seventy three bags. When the big rig left
San Mateo County Event Center that night. They followed this
truck all the way down I five and it culminated
at the Flying J truck stop in Lbeck. If you're
(06:22):
going northbound on I five, you make kind of a
sweeping right turn before you then make a sweeping left
turn to go down down the hill over the grapevine.
Le Beck is just off to your left there Fraser
Mountain Park Road. I believe it is. And big truck
stop like a motel six. There always full of trucks,
great place for guys to stop. That's where the guy
(06:43):
stops at about two thirty two. When the guy stops
and he goes to go pp perhaps maybe a little
something extra.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Yeah, there's a lot of something extra over there.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
He comes out at about two thirty in the morning
and realizes that the lock has been cut on the
back of his truck. A short time later, a couple
of Lakety Shrif's deputies responded to the vehicle burglary call
for service, and the guy says, I'm pretty sure we
were followed from the show where we got loaded, loaded
being the jewels that were put up there. It turns
(07:25):
out that what they said was arguably the largest jewel
heist in the history of the country was made by
seven dudes. Seven guys indicted on this Carlos Cercado, Jase
l Resto, Pablo Lariog, Victor sol Arizono, Jorge Albon, Jessan Flores,
(07:48):
and Eduardo Ibarra. At least one of those guys was
already in jail in Arizona when they came.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Down with these indictments earlier this week, but.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
They did issue several search warrants this this week and
found some of the jewelry that had been reported missing.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
All the other stuff probably sold off.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I don't know why they hadn't sold all of it yet,
considering this was almost three years ago. Now that this
took place, they said that it captivated this robbery, this
jewel heist captivated Ally's jewelry industry along Saint Vincent Court,
which is an alley downtown where jewelers trade gossip between
(08:26):
SIPs of espresso, and every single time somebody would ask,
especially if they were one of the victims, hey, what
happened to your jewels? And they always said, we don't
know anything. The government's looking into it, the FBI, obviously,
but they.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Had no idea.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
The one guy says that the cost of his bag
of stolen goods was twelve million dollars, and that was
one bag. There were seventy three bags that were in
that truck, So you can imagine hundreds of millions, if
not more, in terms of the value that was in
(09:04):
that truck. Some guys had to get out of the
business altogether once they lost that much.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
You said, le Bec. And then I think of Button Willow.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I really like the McDonald's right off the stop there
and Button Willow. They do a really nice sausage McMuffin.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
My wife pointed out the sign that says Button Willow
and McKittrick. Yes, she says, that's her favorite sign in California. Absolutely,
that is a common feeling. I share that feeling.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I never knew that.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Hi, Garyan Shannon, how are you two things? When does
football season start again?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I'm dying, I'm not. I just can't with the baseball
on this.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
I'm there. And also, the heat does make a huge difference.
I live in the coach Hall of Valley. Yes it's hot.
There is a huge difference. One seventeen, one fourteen. It's
been this week. You want to know the weekend is
going to be a bomby one oh five. I'm so excited.
You guys have a great Thursday and talk.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
To to her point and to your wife's point. The
reason I love Button Willow McKittrick stop so much is
because of the McDonald's and because it's always so clean
and they do such a nice job with the sausage McMuffin.
But also Button Willow is fun to say, and McKittrick
obviously named for Bob McKittrick, offensive line coach for the
San Francisco forty nine ers for a number of years.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I did so.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
It brings football and McDonald's and Button Willow all together.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
What more could one want in a stop. Huh you
fan of your in laws?
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I have some in laws coming into town this week.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I'm going to say something that's awful, but I'll say
it anyway. When my mother and when I first met
my mother in law, she was already showing signs of dementia.
And she was always a joy to be around. She
liked to take walks out at the nature preserve. She
likes Starbucks, and she liked ice cream, and she was
(10:55):
a joy. She had no filter, so she would tell
you exactly what she was thinking, and that was fun too.
I had the best mother in law situation that one
could ever have. And was it probably maybe because she
had started into the maybe, but hey, I had nothing
bad to say about my mother in law.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Okay, well how about yours. We'll talk about it. I've
met your mother in law. She's delightful.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty right now.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Caroline Levitt, the White House spokesperson, just said in a
quote of the President that he would make a decision
about a strike on Iran within two weeks. We'll play
that audio for you when we get to Swamp watch a.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Common timetable for the administration. He loves the window of
two weeks two weeks.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
We talked about the President telling the Ayatola he's safe.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Israel wants to take you out, but I told him no.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
And now Israel saying now that attack on the hospital
means that Iron has crossed a red line and the
Supreme Leader must go.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
We talked about what that means.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Will they act and take out the Ayatola despite the
fact that Trump has said no. You also got to
talk about Russia in that conversation, that Russia has advised
the US against any sort of direct involvement in the conflict,
ie using the B two to drop that thirty thousand
pound bomb to bust up the bunker where the nuclear
(12:30):
weapons are being enriched.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
So there's a lot at stake.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
There's a lot of tough conversations that are being had
on the world stage.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Angels beat the Yankees yesterday three to two. They're going
for the four game sweep. This morning, they're already in
the second inning. And don't look now, but Joe Adell
has eight home runs in the month of June, leading
Major League Baseball. Dodgers beat the Padres yesterday four to three,
a walk off pinch hit home run by Will Smith,
and that tonight they'll take on the Padres again and
they'll also try for that four game sweep.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
It's like a game of risk playing out, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Like we attack Iran, it's very weak, Russia gets weaker.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
In that in that scenario. Yeah, it's just all very interesting.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Is that what the word you would use. I feel
that you didn't sell the interesting part when you said that.
It's very complicated.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
And it seems like but I've been saying this for
a long time, or we've been saying this for a
long time. It seems like the history book writers are
going to be very busy over the past ten years.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Don't put anything in ink yet.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
You know a lot has happened, even just if you
want to take Supreme Court decisions and executive orders and
how those have evolved. Shall we say, it's just it's
a jam packed decade.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yeah, And in the background, the way technology has changed
in the last five years, ten years, fifteen years, exponentially faster, better, stronger, Yeah,
more scary. All of that A weird time to be alive,
very odd. My in laws are great, My in laws
are fantastic.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
That's not always the case.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
There's many struggles people have with in laws, especially not
just the not just the you know, the parents, your
spouse's parents, but the siblings.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
That that I think is probably where most of the
friction comes.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I have a girlfriend who's married and she has a
real issue with her uh, her husband's sister, and it
seems like the two are in constant competition, and I
see it play out on Instagram. The both moms, they're
(14:54):
both you know, and so they've got the kid's birthdays
and the King Sigiera like all the things. See right,
They've got all these family functions because it's a family
that does a lot of things together, and it's like
a constant competition, and the space that each must take
up in each other's brains is wild to me. And
(15:16):
they're my age, so you're you know, early forties, and
the it's almost like as much space as your high
school nemesis would take.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Up in your brain.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I was just gonna say that, but it's playing out
like a juni or high school rivalry. I can I
be a complete misogynist here and say I think that's
very much a woman thing.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
It very much. Is I don't think men have this.
We don't.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I mean, the mother in law thing is common, I think, right,
but it's also a trope. I mean, it's like husbands
are treated when it comes to sitcoms. Right, They're always
the bumbling idiot who's got a hot wife and they
could never do anything because she's the brains behind the
whole operation. There's always the trope of the mother in
law is overbearing, she's always dissatisfied with the daughter, the
(16:06):
daughter in law, all of that stuff. I've never really,
I've not seen that play out in real life and
the people that I know, but I understand that there
would be there could be some friction, especially if you
get kids in there and then all of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Everyone's got an opinion on how to raise the kids.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Right, But we wanted to know what kind of scenarios
exist in your life when it comes to when it
comes to in laws. I had my brother in law
who passed away a couple of years ago, became sort
of a big brother figure to me because I grew
up a two older sisters, so I didn't have the
big brother thing.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
So he was the one that would take me out
sneak me into the bar.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
You know.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
He invited me to his bachelor party even though I
was seven, eighteen years old something like that. So that
was always a great We always had a good relationship.
And my other sister's husband, we have a great relationship
because we went to high school together. We know some
of the same people growing up. But it's I don't
have any friction. Thankfully. It could be.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
It could It would be a nightmare if I felt
like that about I.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Just feel like when you become an adult, you got
to let some things go. Well you have as a
grown adult, you have friction with your brother in law,
your sister in law or whatever, it's like, let it go.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
What I don't, It's it's a forced relationship in many cases, right.
You don't get to choose who your wife's or brother is,
or your your husband's brother or sister whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
You don't get to choose those relationships, right, and you're
forced into it. And here's the thing. When you've got
like a bad apple and a family, that's their face,
that's that's your family. You just got to deal with it.
You're used to it. But like if you marry into
a family or whatever, it's got like a bad apple
or what have you. Now you have to deal with that,
and it's not your family. So when it's not your family,
(17:58):
you're not as forgiving or understanding of that bad apples,
shall we say? So it's a little bit more difficult
to be around said person. Maybe, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
And the other the other, like secondary relationship duty is
if your husband has a problem with his parents, you
sometimes act like a buffer. Or if my wife has
a problem with her parents, I can act like a
buffer if necessary. Yes, and so sometimes that plays into
(18:28):
it too, right, But you're a good buffer. My husband's
a great buffer. Well, that sounds weird.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Let's get a new word.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Let us know, though, Let us know if you've got
issues with your in laws or what have you, or
you have a nightmare story, we're here for it.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
In law, nightmare in laws or great ones. Listen. We
can also celebrate the happy things, although they're not as
fun tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Can we tackle the fact that we don't have a
of the summer?
Speaker 3 (19:01):
It's bothering me? Okay?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I mean nothing is the clear winner, I don't think okay,
but I'm also an old all right.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Also true, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand
from KF I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Have you seen the ducklings?
Speaker 5 (19:19):
No?
Speaker 3 (19:20):
I did not. You haven't watched the ducklings. I haven't
seen the video yet. What do you mean you haven't
seen the video?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
You were alerted that a video exists of brave ducklings
jumping from a bridge to reunite with their mother, and
you you were aware of it, but didn't run to
watch it immediately to see the ducklings.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Hmm, But I didn't
say it like that. Who wouldn't want to watch duckling?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Ducklings take a leap of faith off a bridge, okay,
to be back with their mother in the in the
water below.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
They're not jumping off of a building. They're jumping off
of a bridge into a body of water. They're ducklings.
They're this big. Nobody can see what you're doing with
your hand except me, and I don't want to.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Why. Why is that bad? I was just trying to
What I think is stop.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
What I think is funny is apparently in the video
you can hear people cheering the ducks on or cheering
on the ducks.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, Unfortunately, there are people's voices in the video, and
it ruins the whole effing thing. There's this annoying woman
with her annoying voice.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Abigail Dector is the name of the woman who captured
the video.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
N Abigail. Abigail was not blessed with a dulcet tone. Oh,
one of those kind of.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Ruins the whole duckling video. But the idea sounds kind
of nice, huh.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
A few of the timid ducklings held back, but much
needed encouragement from the crowd gave them the push they
needed to reunite with their mom in the water. Again,
They're not jumping off of a building onto a street
in Burbank. They're going from a bridge to a body
of water. Let me see if the ducks are pretty
good at that.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Well, I feel like you're really selling short the fact
that the ducklings jumped off a bridge.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Was it a really high bridge? Are we talking like
six story high bridge?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
That's an ad good Lord, I can't even find my
ducklings in a timely fashion.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Why is your face doing that?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Because I think it's very funny that this is something
that we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
You're right, I actually spoke to someone who listened to
our show, said, I listened to your show a few
weeks ago. You guys were doing animal noises, very funny,
and I thought, that's not what you're thinking.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
And then my second thought was we are dumb.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
And the next time we do extended moments of animal
noises or really anything dumb, we should have some kind
of they see, So the mother's already in the water, right,
they're jumping to her again, let's just stop.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
That's what it sucks knowing. I just got a reminder
to see what I mean with the humans. Yeah, yeah,
that one be the one that doesn't want to go.
She ruins it, Abigail, and then this.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
Is James Den Tryan. So I'll let you know the
same thing. My must law recently passed away in Japan
at the age of ninety seven. Been married forty one
years come October. My muzz in law had no filter
and the time I met her until time she left,
but wouldn't change anything for the world.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
That's nice. That's a nice one.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, more of those. We'll talk about in laws coming
up a little bit later next hour. Of course, a
lot to get to in swamp Watch, which is where
we'll start the eleven o'clock hour, which is next.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
This because Chris Brott has a couple of young kids
and lives in LA.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
His wife is pregnant, is what is the reason?
Speaker 4 (01:20):
He said?
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah. But it's also and there is that.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I mean, he's doing it because he doesn't want to
have to leave his family for months at a time.
But there's also this aspect of the acceptance on behalf
of producers and in this case high profile actors who
become producers, that the industry itself is not healthy in
LA and they want to be able to make sure
(01:45):
that there is some significant footprint of Hollywood in Southern California.
Hollywood not the place, but Hollywood the industry, and to
keep it in Southern California. Obviously, the big reasons that
we've talked about him before that so many productions have
left is the incentives that other places give. Think of Georgia,
(02:05):
North Carolina, Nashville, Tennessee, Vancouver, British Columbia. They all offer
significant tax credits and breaks to companies that want to
produce there.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Well, I think it was Heather Brooker.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I heard her bring this up on Conway the other night,
and maybe it was just last night, and she brought
it up with us as well of can you name
a big movie star? Like who are the big movie stars?
And this may be what chips away at all those
productions going other places. If you are a Chris Pratt,
who I would argue is a big movie star. Now,
(02:38):
if they're demanding that they get to be they've made
their lives in la because this is where Hollywood is
or was, and this is where they want to film.
This is what everything their whole routine revolves around. Being
at home. That may move the needle a little bit.
I don't know who else would be part of that club.
To her point in terms of I'm not going to
(03:00):
Georgia for six months to film this and be away
from my family. I get it it's cheaper for you,
but I'm not going to sign on and then you're
stuck with somebody who's not going to.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Be a draw to the box office.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I'm fascinated with the way the power has shifted from
you know, fifty years ago, the studios were the all knowing,
all seeing, and all powerful when it came to Hollywood,
and actors were contracted to the studio and they were fungible.
I mean, you would whatever the Gary Cooper's and ever
that sort of rose to some amount of fame, probably
(03:34):
had more power.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
But it was always the producers.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
It was always the studios that we're going to have
the ultimate say in how things were done. Now we've
seen that flip where these very high profile actors making
twenty twenty five thirty million dollars a picture, they are
the ones who now hold the power. They are the
ones who now have the say of that kind of
a thing. I don't want to do it in Atlanta.
I don't want to do it in Vancouver.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
But how many of those people are there? Not many?
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Right?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
That is where that's where it's gonna be, sort of
the where the rubber meets the room.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I mean, think of the majority of movies you've watched recently.
I've been streaming movies, and who's been in them?
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I don't know who's in the majority of the shows
that I watch, the content that I consume that I
pay for.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
It was rare for me to go.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
To the movie and get that early screening, to see
F one and see Brad Pitt. I haven't seen a
big movie star in a movie in a long time,
you know, I went and saw Dakota Johnson.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
That's a big star. Now she carries that movie. The
materialists few and far between.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I think this all came to a head for me.
Was noticeable for me when I started watching the Cobra
Kai series because it's supposed to be in the valley. Like,
that's the whole thing about the original Karate Kids. This
is your hill that you're gonna die on. The karate
Kid in the Valley, done in the valley? Yeah, come on,
I know outside of Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
So what if they had like a karate Kid museum
in the valley?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Would you go to that? Interesting? That's interesting. I'm not
saying no. I'm not saying no. All right, coming up next,
Oh that jewelry heist. We didn't get to it yesterday.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, the jewelry heist which seemed like an inside job
the Brinks truck.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Remember this over was it the grape Vine?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, we'll get into all the answers there. Also, I
have a story about twins coming up. Okay, what were
you gonna say? I'm not because you were thinking the
fairies thoughts.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I was thinking the fairies, A couple of them, but
I won't say any of them.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
The Jewelry Heist.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
So a couple of years ago, a guy picks up
a truckload of jewelry and watches from the International Gem
and Jewelry Show up in San Mateo. This would be
July of twenty twenty two, and on July specifically, a
(06:01):
handful of guy scouted this Brinx semi truck, which was
loaded with seventy three bags. When the big rig left
San Mateo County Event Center that night. They followed this
truck all the way down I five and it culminated
at the Flying J truck stop in Lbeck. If you're
(06:22):
going northbound on I five, you make kind of a
sweeping right turn before you then make a sweeping left
turn to go down down the hill over the grapevine.
Le Beck is just off to your left there Fraser
Mountain Park Road. I believe it is. And big truck
stop like a motel six. There always full of trucks,
great place for guys to stop. That's where the guy
(06:43):
stops at about two thirty two. When the guy stops
and he goes to go pp perhaps maybe a little
something extra.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Yeah, there's a lot of something extra over there.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
He comes out at about two thirty in the morning
and realizes that the lock has been cut on the
back of his truck. A short time later, a couple
of Lakety Shrif's deputies responded to the vehicle burglary call
for service, and the guy says, I'm pretty sure we
were followed from the show where we got loaded, loaded
being the jewels that were put up there. It turns
(07:25):
out that what they said was arguably the largest jewel
heist in the history of the country was made by
seven dudes. Seven guys indicted on this Carlos Cercado, Jase
l Resto, Pablo Lariog, Victor sol Arizono, Jorge Albon, Jessan Flores,
(07:48):
and Eduardo Ibarra. At least one of those guys was
already in jail in Arizona when they came.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Down with these indictments earlier this week, but.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
They did issue several search warrants this this week and
found some of the jewelry that had been reported missing.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
All the other stuff probably sold off.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I don't know why they hadn't sold all of it yet,
considering this was almost three years ago. Now that this
took place, they said that it captivated this robbery, this
jewel heist captivated Ally's jewelry industry along Saint Vincent Court,
which is an alley downtown where jewelers trade gossip between
(08:26):
SIPs of espresso, and every single time somebody would ask,
especially if they were one of the victims, hey, what
happened to your jewels? And they always said, we don't
know anything. The government's looking into it, the FBI, obviously,
but they.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Had no idea.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
The one guy says that the cost of his bag
of stolen goods was twelve million dollars, and that was
one bag. There were seventy three bags that were in
that truck, So you can imagine hundreds of millions, if
not more, in terms of the value that was in
(09:04):
that truck. Some guys had to get out of the
business altogether once they lost that much.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
You said, le Bec. And then I think of Button Willow.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I really like the McDonald's right off the stop there
and Button Willow. They do a really nice sausage McMuffin.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
My wife pointed out the sign that says Button Willow
and McKittrick. Yes, she says, that's her favorite sign in California. Absolutely,
that is a common feeling. I share that feeling.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I never knew that.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Hi, Garyan Shannon, how are you two things? When does
football season start again?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I'm dying, I'm not. I just can't with the baseball
on this.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
I'm there. And also, the heat does make a huge difference.
I live in the coach Hall of Valley. Yes it's hot.
There is a huge difference. One seventeen, one fourteen. It's
been this week. You want to know the weekend is
going to be a bomby one oh five. I'm so excited.
You guys have a great Thursday and talk.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
To to her point and to your wife's point. The
reason I love Button Willow McKittrick stop so much is
because of the McDonald's and because it's always so clean
and they do such a nice job with the sausage McMuffin.
But also Button Willow is fun to say, and McKittrick
obviously named for Bob McKittrick, offensive line coach for the
San Francisco forty nine ers for a number of years.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I did so.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
It brings football and McDonald's and Button Willow all together.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
What more could one want in a stop. Huh you
fan of your in laws?
Speaker 5 (10:32):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I have some in laws coming into town this week.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I'm going to say something that's awful, but I'll say
it anyway. When my mother and when I first met
my mother in law, she was already showing signs of dementia.
And she was always a joy to be around. She
liked to take walks out at the nature preserve. She
likes Starbucks, and she liked ice cream, and she was
(10:55):
a joy. She had no filter, so she would tell
you exactly what she was thinking, and that was fun too.
I had the best mother in law situation that one
could ever have. And was it probably maybe because she
had started into the maybe, but hey, I had nothing
bad to say about my mother in law.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Okay, well how about yours. We'll talk about it. I've
met your mother in law. She's delightful.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty right now.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Caroline Levitt, the White House spokesperson, just said in a
quote of the President that he would make a decision
about a strike on Iran within two weeks. We'll play
that audio for you when we get to Swamp watch a.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Common timetable for the administration. He loves the window of
two weeks two weeks.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
We talked about the President telling the Ayatola he's safe.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Israel wants to take you out, but I told him no.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
And now Israel saying now that attack on the hospital
means that Iron has crossed a red line and the
Supreme Leader must go.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
We talked about what that means.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Will they act and take out the Ayatola despite the
fact that Trump has said no. You also got to
talk about Russia in that conversation, that Russia has advised
the US against any sort of direct involvement in the conflict,
ie using the B two to drop that thirty thousand
pound bomb to bust up the bunker where the nuclear
(12:30):
weapons are being enriched.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
So there's a lot at stake.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
There's a lot of tough conversations that are being had
on the world stage.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Angels beat the Yankees yesterday three to two. They're going
for the four game sweep. This morning, they're already in
the second inning. And don't look now, but Joe Adell
has eight home runs in the month of June, leading
Major League Baseball. Dodgers beat the Padres yesterday four to three,
a walk off pinch hit home run by Will Smith,
and that tonight they'll take on the Padres again and
they'll also try for that four game sweep.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
It's like a game of risk playing out, isn't it?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Like we attack Iran, it's very weak, Russia gets weaker.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
In that in that scenario. Yeah, it's just all very interesting.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Is that what the word you would use. I feel
that you didn't sell the interesting part when you said that.
It's very complicated.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
And it seems like but I've been saying this for
a long time, or we've been saying this for a
long time. It seems like the history book writers are
going to be very busy over the past ten years.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Don't put anything in ink yet.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
You know a lot has happened, even just if you
want to take Supreme Court decisions and executive orders and
how those have evolved. Shall we say, it's just it's
a jam packed decade.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yeah, And in the background, the way technology has changed
in the last five years, ten years, fifteen years, exponentially faster, better, stronger, Yeah,
more scary. All of that A weird time to be alive,
very odd. My in laws are great, My in laws
are fantastic.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
That's not always the case.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
There's many struggles people have with in laws, especially not
just the not just the you know, the parents, your
spouse's parents, but the siblings.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
That that I think is probably where most of the
friction comes.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I have a girlfriend who's married and she has a
real issue with her uh, her husband's sister, and it
seems like the two are in constant competition, and I
see it play out on Instagram. The both moms, they're
(14:54):
both you know, and so they've got the kid's birthdays
and the King Sigiera like all the things. See right,
They've got all these family functions because it's a family
that does a lot of things together, and it's like
a constant competition, and the space that each must take
up in each other's brains is wild to me. And
(15:16):
they're my age, so you're you know, early forties, and
the it's almost like as much space as your high
school nemesis would take.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Up in your brain.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I was just gonna say that, but it's playing out
like a juni or high school rivalry. I can I
be a complete misogynist here and say I think that's
very much a woman thing.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
It very much. Is I don't think men have this.
We don't.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I mean, the mother in law thing is common, I think, right,
but it's also a trope. I mean, it's like husbands
are treated when it comes to sitcoms. Right, They're always
the bumbling idiot who's got a hot wife and they
could never do anything because she's the brains behind the
whole operation. There's always the trope of the mother in
law is overbearing, she's always dissatisfied with the daughter, the
(16:06):
daughter in law, all of that stuff. I've never really,
I've not seen that play out in real life and
the people that I know, but I understand that there
would be there could be some friction, especially if you
get kids in there and then all of a sudden.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Everyone's got an opinion on how to raise the kids.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Right, But we wanted to know what kind of scenarios
exist in your life when it comes to when it
comes to in laws. I had my brother in law
who passed away a couple of years ago, became sort
of a big brother figure to me because I grew
up a two older sisters, so I didn't have the
big brother thing.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
So he was the one that would take me out
sneak me into the bar.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
You know.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
He invited me to his bachelor party even though I
was seven, eighteen years old something like that. So that
was always a great We always had a good relationship.
And my other sister's husband, we have a great relationship
because we went to high school together. We know some
of the same people growing up. But it's I don't
have any friction. Thankfully. It could be.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
It could It would be a nightmare if I felt
like that about I.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Just feel like when you become an adult, you got
to let some things go. Well you have as a
grown adult, you have friction with your brother in law,
your sister in law or whatever, it's like, let it go.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
What I don't, It's it's a forced relationship in many cases, right.
You don't get to choose who your wife's or brother is,
or your your husband's brother or sister whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
You don't get to choose those relationships, right, and you're
forced into it. And here's the thing. When you've got
like a bad apple and a family, that's their face,
that's that's your family. You just got to deal with it.
You're used to it. But like if you marry into
a family or whatever, it's got like a bad apple
or what have you. Now you have to deal with that,
and it's not your family. So when it's not your family,
(17:58):
you're not as forgiving or understanding of that bad apples,
shall we say? So it's a little bit more difficult
to be around said person. Maybe, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
And the other the other, like secondary relationship duty is
if your husband has a problem with his parents, you
sometimes act like a buffer. Or if my wife has
a problem with her parents, I can act like a
buffer if necessary. Yes, and so sometimes that plays into
(18:28):
it too, right, But you're a good buffer. My husband's
a great buffer. Well, that sounds weird.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Let's get a new word.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Let us know, though, Let us know if you've got
issues with your in laws or what have you, or
you have a nightmare story, we're here for it.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
In law, nightmare in laws or great ones. Listen. We
can also celebrate the happy things, although they're not as
fun tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Can we tackle the fact that we don't have a
of the summer?
Speaker 3 (19:01):
It's bothering me? Okay?
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I mean nothing is the clear winner, I don't think okay,
but I'm also an old all right.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
Also true, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand
from KF I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Have you seen the ducklings?
Speaker 5 (19:19):
No?
Speaker 3 (19:20):
I did not. You haven't watched the ducklings. I haven't
seen the video yet. What do you mean you haven't
seen the video?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
You were alerted that a video exists of brave ducklings
jumping from a bridge to reunite with their mother, and
you you were aware of it, but didn't run to
watch it immediately to see the ducklings.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Hmm, But I didn't
say it like that. Who wouldn't want to watch duckling?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Ducklings take a leap of faith off a bridge, okay,
to be back with their mother in the in the
water below.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
They're not jumping off of a building. They're jumping off
of a bridge into a body of water. They're ducklings.
They're this big. Nobody can see what you're doing with
your hand except me, and I don't want to.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Why. Why is that bad? I was just trying to
What I think is stop.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
What I think is funny is apparently in the video
you can hear people cheering the ducks on or cheering
on the ducks.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah, Unfortunately, there are people's voices in the video, and
it ruins the whole effing thing. There's this annoying woman
with her annoying voice.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Abigail Dector is the name of the woman who captured
the video.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
N Abigail. Abigail was not blessed with a dulcet tone. Oh,
one of those kind of.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Ruins the whole duckling video. But the idea sounds kind
of nice, huh.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
A few of the timid ducklings held back, but much
needed encouragement from the crowd gave them the push they
needed to reunite with their mom in the water. Again,
They're not jumping off of a building onto a street
in Burbank. They're going from a bridge to a body
of water. Let me see if the ducks are pretty
good at that.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Well, I feel like you're really selling short the fact
that the ducklings jumped off a bridge.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Was it a really high bridge? Are we talking like
six story high bridge?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
That's an ad good Lord, I can't even find my
ducklings in a timely fashion.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Why is your face doing that?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Because I think it's very funny that this is something
that we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
You're right, I actually spoke to someone who listened to
our show, said, I listened to your show a few
weeks ago. You guys were doing animal noises, very funny,
and I thought, that's not what you're thinking.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
And then my second thought was we are dumb.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
And the next time we do extended moments of animal
noises or really anything dumb, we should have some kind
of they see, So the mother's already in the water, right,
they're jumping to her again, let's just stop.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
That's what it sucks knowing. I just got a reminder
to see what I mean with the humans. Yeah, yeah,
that one be the one that doesn't want to go.
She ruins it, Abigail, and then this.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
Is James Den Tryan. So I'll let you know the
same thing. My must law recently passed away in Japan
at the age of ninety seven. Been married forty one
years come October. My muzz in law had no filter
and the time I met her until time she left,
but wouldn't change anything for the world.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
That's nice. That's a nice one.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, more of those. We'll talk about in laws coming
up a little bit later next hour. Of course, a
lot to get to in swamp Watch, which is where
we'll start the eleven o'clock hour, which is next.
