In Los Angeles, tensions over immigration enforcement are coming with a hefty price tag. The city has just approved a $5 million loan to cover skyrocketing LAPD overtime costs tied to recent anti-ICE protests. As demonstrators continue to push back against federal immigration actions, city leaders are now grappling with the financial fallout—raising big questions about policing, public spending, and where taxpayer dollars should really be going.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M. Six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. I just have to share
this story because it's my favorite story about Kiarina as
I was covering the SuperSonics that were in the playoffs
the year that I was there may have been their
last year in Seattle. Anyway, I'm gootting. I'm in the
(00:22):
tunnel there getting ready to go out into the hardwood
after the after the game, and there's this woman in
the tunnel and she's watching and she's just kind of
like peeking around.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
And I go up and I go, oh, hi, how are.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
You you know?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Blah blah blah, and so what are you doing? Are
you gonna go see someone up the game? She's like, oh, yeah,
ray Allen, that's my son. And so I got to
interview ray Allen's mom at the play like it was
so cool. Just just on who you talk to, who
you strike up a conversation with, You never know what
else is going on.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Time for.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
What's Happening?
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Wow, What's Happening is brought to you today by Trajan Well.
Trajan Well will help you set and achieve those financial
goals for retirement, your local trusted financial fiduciarytrajanwealth dot com.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Well, there have been ICE agents spotted at Dodger Stadium.
This seems to be getting a lot of outside media
attention because it's Dodger Stadium and it's ice, and Dodger
Nation has gotten a little heat for not being vocal
about what's going on with the raids. In fact, they
have an announcement of how they're working with the immigrant
(01:31):
community coming up today. The latest headline I saw about
this was Ice agents are being refused entry into Dodger Stadium. Well,
Dodger Stadium's closed. No one's getting into Dodger Stadium right now.
It's closed. They're not being they're not being told they
can't come in. There's just no way to get into
(01:51):
Dodger Stadium right now. And all the pictures I've seen
from the ridiculous amounts of news coverage is just that
there's some agents outside, But I don't see them banging
on the gates to get into Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
They're not trying to gain entry.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
No no comments from the team specifically exactly what their
plan is. There were some emigration enforcement operations, though that
did apparently take place on Sunset Home Depot in Hollywood.
Video showed a couple agents in gear taking at least
three men into custody, escorted by agents to one of
(02:25):
at least three vans.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
It was parked on a street near the home depot.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
LAPD has had to approve Sorry, the city of la
has had to approve five million dollars in a loan
to cover LAPD overtime from the protests we told you about.
Kenneth Mahea, the Lacity controller, saying that they are probably
spending close to twenty million in total in response to
the protest, not just overtime, but also the simple cleanup
(02:54):
costs that are associated with the people who are vandalizing
the buildings downtown.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I love the post from Ben Verlander on x Fox
Baseball Analyst.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
We're really about to have show.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Hey a Tani out here dropping fifty on Christmas Day
for the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
What a time to be.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Alive about the sale of Margial sale of the Lakers
to the Dodgers owner Mark Walter hilarious. Dave Roberts came off,
came out to kind of push back. It's a hands
off show, hey, They've got enough superstars over there in
the Purple and Gold. But how funny. I love the
memes are going to be great.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
The big deal is that Mark Walter and his group
buying the majority interest in the Lakers from the Bus
family ten billion dollars. That would be the most expensive
sports franchise in the United States and one of the
most expensive in the were Old.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It's got to be the most.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
It's got to be something. Anyway, you show Hey will
not be playing basketball Hurricane wife, though his wife might.
Oh yeah, she is, she is.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Hurricane Eric has made landfall in Hawka early today. It's
located about twenty miles east of Punta mal Donado. We've
got winds at about one twenty five. It is moving
in northwest, but it seems to be.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Well.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
It was downgraded slightly before making landfall, from a Category
four to a Category three. It has been reduced in power,
but it's still considered a major hurricane.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
At that three. It will weaken significantly.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
They said that it's going to run into these mountains
of southern Mexico and that will mean that it will
lose a lot of its energy and possibly even dissipate.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Late tonight or early Friday.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
So as quickly as it gained strength, it's expected to
also diminish pretty quickly.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Well, this sucks.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Rose Bowl is replacing Fourth of July fireworks with a
drone show. It's due to fire concerns. You can understand that.
But there's always been fire concerns up there, and there's
a way to do it safely, and they've done it
forever at the Rose Bowl.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
I don't know why.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
I mean, I do know why drone show have become
as popular as they.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Had not a Fourth of July. You need the fireworks.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Come on, there's a lot of open space around that
Rose exactly going to burn. All right, when we come back,
we'll continue this the in law story. Did you get
information about your turkey yet?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, I did.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
I do that when we come up.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Okay, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
We were talking earlier about in laws and how bad
some in laws can be and have been in the past.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
Hi, guys, my brother in law is a piece of work.
He's just like Gary. He's insecure, he's a no at all.
He's got an ego, can't stand to be told when
he's wrong. He's just a complete lame Bye.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
I wonder if that is my brother. Don't know why
we played that again. That's mean because people say we
don't play the mean ones.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, but you played that twice now now you're just
self flagellating.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Heyya, Shannon, this is Renee.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Renee.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
My ex mother in law was Italian and she was
so hilarious. She would get drunk off of vodka and
she would just curse out everybody in sight, her kid,
their marriage mate, her grandkids. She would sit up at
(06:26):
anybody's house in whole court. And I loved her, but
she never talked bad about me.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
She loved it.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Vodka.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Hell of a ride. Speaking of vodka, here's the turkey story.
Oh boy, so I have this vague there's this vague
family lower story of my grandma Nana throwing a turkey
down the stairs of her home in the Sunset District
in San Francisco. Now, Nana, she liked her cocktails to
the point of surviving cirrhosis at one point. Okay, so
(06:53):
later in life she did not drink as much, but
at the height of her her days, she and her
sister Eleanor liked to go out for their their gin goblets, gimblets,
whatever you call them. So she and Eleanor liked to
and I think Eleanor ended up No, I think she
died of cancer very young. But anyway, apparently one Thanksgiving,
(07:17):
according to my brother, the story goes this way, Nana
was upset that the turkey was taking so long to cook,
so she walked downstairs where the family room was, and
at that point Eleanor went into the oven, grabbed the
turkey that was not done yet, and threw it down
the stairs on my grandma.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Hashtag vodka.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
That's really good. That's great.
Speaker 8 (07:45):
I currently have two faucets that need to be replaced.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Can I get his number?
Speaker 9 (07:55):
Hey, Gary and Shannon, this is Mark from Contanning, Pennsylvani.
I just wanted to say about the in laws. Mine
were awesome. Couldn't have asked for any better ones. They
treated me like family, nice all the time. So there
you go, thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
That's good.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
That's a good one. We don't they don't all have
to be bad. Yeah, Gary and Shannon. I didn't have
a problem.
Speaker 10 (08:19):
With my in laws, but my mother hated every woman
I came home with, and they would be completely different
from each other.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Yeah, yeah, harms.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Mothers are hard my you know, my mom's always been
great with the girls my brother has brought home, and
there have been many.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
You were just savaging your brother today. It's true.
Speaker 11 (08:43):
I have the best mother in law and father in
law only because we don't speak the same language. They
only speak Spanish and I only speak English. But they
are super nice.
Speaker 12 (08:54):
You think they're being nice. Yeah, my brother been married twice.
One out of two of the sister in laws were horrible,
second wife good, and then the wife's sister would be
my sister in law not good. So two for three
(09:16):
out of the bad sister in law.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
That's funny because usually men are kind of cool with whatever,
like they don't really.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
It's harder for us to get exercised about a bad
relationship with somebody.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Yeah, or just like a woman who you don't maybe
get along with, or you don't see eye to eye with.
Rarely is that even a Does that matter?
Speaker 10 (09:38):
No, you just don't spend time with it, right, I mean, oh,
Gary and shedding the in laws, huh? Well, mine thought
I would here illegally even though I had a US
college degree. I was working a good job, and still
I tend my wife to investigate to make sure the
government is not going to send me home, and also
(10:01):
that'll need that to also make sure that I'm not
taking American jobs.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Interesting, I got a text from Michael.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
He says, my ex wife hates that me and her
dad talk all the time. He tells me that she
keeps trying to push him to accept her new husband
and have a relationship like he does with me. Practically,
her entire family still communicate with me regularly on social
media and she hates that too. But like her dad
told me, he told her to stop bringing on new dudes.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Strange science is coming up.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Private space stations are possible, but we got a problem
with the public space station that's up there right now.
And Lake Tahoe is getting murky.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Ooh, that's awful.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Nobody knows why.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Yeah, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI.
A six forty got.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Married a couple months ago.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I thought by that afternoon we'd have pictures of him
and the wife and all that.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
That was like a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Well, the latest in the story is that journalists and
others have dug up the public legal records.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And Aaron Rodgers is not married.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
His family doesn't believe it's real, But he doesn't talked
to his family, So what the hell do we care
what they have to say in this regard? So the
story gets a little weirder. Would you is this all
for show? It's just is this to silence anybody who
wants to ask stupid questions about his personal life? Is
it a way to make people just give him a
little something and they'll shut up for a while.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
If the news director came to you and said, I
need you to go down to the courthouse and see
if Aaron Rodgers pulled a marriage license, would you would
that be a thing?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Well, it's just a public records request at that point,
you know, I know, to any sort.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Of uh like, who cares? I mean, if it's.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
It's it's of interest.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
A weird It's a weird story the whole He's a
he's gone off the deep end or he.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Was living there. He's been living there for years.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
He's been living for a long time.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
We had one more in law one I wanted to
play for us before we get into strained side.
Speaker 8 (12:16):
Hey, Garon Shannon, I think mother in law daughter in
law relationship dynamics are the most complicated ones out there.
My experience has been that my mother in law has
looked to fill the emotional void left by her husband,
who they don't have a loving, affectionate marriage. So I
think she's just looked to fill that void with her son.
(12:37):
And now I've just learned that and i let him
have his relationship with her, and I'm fine. I have peace.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
That's good for you.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
That's that is a strong it's an advanced diagnosis of
that of that relationship.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
And well there's something missing that mom needs the son
in her life that much.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Maybe I don't know. I don't know these people, but
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
It's time for strange science.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I should never say anything about mothers and sons. You
get in a lot of trouble doing that.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
It's like weird science.
Speaker 7 (13:14):
But strange.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Well, private space stations sound pretty darn cool. I mean,
just think of the view alone. Several companies are aiming
to build facilities that would replace the International Space Station
and attract a new variety of tenants and travelers anywhere
(13:39):
from government astronauts to private research scientists and tourists.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Yeah, this potentially a money maker. You got to have
some sort of commercial viability for it to continue to operate.
Think of what you know, Blue Origin with Jeff Bezos
and SpaceX with Elon Musk.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
What they've been trying to do, which is find a.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Public facing company that are sorry, private facing company that
can do public things. You got to make money doing it, though,
and the government is not necessarily the best way to
make sure that you have continued funds coming in, although
you can milk the.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Government for a lot of money.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
So if you had a way to continue to profit
off of this thing but also be useful. The different
space stations are talking sorry, different companies are working on
these different space stations. Axiom is a company that says
that they would host as many as eight people in
five different modules that orbit above the Earth. This is
(14:45):
a company that's based out of Houston. They said they're
going to start with a smaller deal that allows them
to stick a module onto the current International Space Station,
and then the company plans to first connect a power
module to the current one, later to attach that device
and link it to a habitat that they could build
and send up. Voyager Technologies has a plan for one
(15:06):
of these things. VAST is a company that says they
want to put together a bunch of haven stations and
then a large integrated flexible environment by Sierra Space. Is
interesting because it's like basically a giant inflatable temporary tent
is what it looks like that they would do in space,
and Blue Origin has a version of it as well.
(15:27):
Then one of the reasons they need to do that
is the current International Space Station is leaking. There's a
small leak they say has sprung up on the International
Space Station and it's caused an upcoming mission to be
delayed by NASA as they try to figure out what
this is. The leak was identified earlier this month. They
(15:48):
said it's not significant, but you have to properly seal
it in a timely manner to make sure that those
astronauts that are currently on the station are safe. It's
not uncommon, but they got to make sure that they
figure this thing out because it doesn't so it doesn't
get it doesn't get any worse. They had one before,
I think it was in the Russian side. One of
(16:10):
the other capsules on the Russian side had developed a
leak that they were able to fix.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Did you know that otters hold hands while they sleep
to avoid drifting away from each other?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Oh, it's called rafting. Isn't that nice?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
That's a good science nugget.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I know. Does your wife like to hold your hand? No?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
All right? Coming up next to more strange science, we've
got Lake Tahoe news. Also, puppies have found dining on
wooly rhinos.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
That's disgusting and we're not going to actually talk about that.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Why not, but we will. Puppies are dead.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Puppies been dead for thousands of years. It looks like, yeah,
but just that it's lunchtime. And the idea of animals
eating other animals, it grosses me out.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
The way that you found out is you cut open
a dead animal to find what they ate fourteen thousand years?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Well, what about oral tentacles? When I talk about those instead?
Speaker 4 (17:09):
You know it.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
We are in the midst of strange science. Some of
these stories that are just weird. Apparently Lake Tahoe has
a annual Clarity Report. It was released this week by
the University of You see Davis researchers.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Lake Tahoe known for its clarity.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
Right, they said, the Tahoe Environmental Research Center there at
you see Davis found the lake's average clarity last year
was sixty two point three feet, which is really deep,
but that's six feet shallower than it was just a
couple of years ago. The level of clarity was surpassed
in cloudiness only in twenty twenty one. That was wildfire year,
(17:57):
so wildfire smoke blanketed the area. Twenty seventeen, they had
very heavy storms and that was marked by the runoff
or was caused by the runoff. Clarity is measured using
what they say is a seci disc. Researchers lower this
white disk into the water to determine the depth at
which it disappears. And since the nineteen sixties scientists began
(18:21):
monitoring the lake then, they said, average clarity has declined
by about forty feet since the nineteen sixties.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Summer clarity continues to deteriorate.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
They do not know exactly why, trying to figure out
what those particles are that.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Would affect clarity.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
One theory is that its microscopic plankton too small to
have been tracked in some of those earlier studies, but
as technology gets better.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
They may be able to do it, may be able
to keep an eye on it.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Researchers have discovered an unusual spiky creature feeding on a jelly.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Fish like species called hydro in recent years.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Similar specimens have been recorded in that area of the
Yellow Sea, just off the east coast of China, but
never identified until now. Researchers have confirmed all ten creatures
belong to a new species of sea slug. This is
according Have you gotten your peer review journal named zoo
(19:23):
keys yet?
Speaker 4 (19:25):
No, I haven't.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
It just came out yesterday, so it might not get
here till sat Well with Juneteenth, you might not get
it until Monday.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
That's a good point.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
It is called the Quingdao sea slug. It's about an
inch and a half long, which researchers call large for
a sea slug.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Lucky.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
The body is translucent yellow to dark brown with numerous
scattered orange to brown spots and white blotches.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
Sounds like it's got to get to a nuckner wide,
pale pink foot, and four or five oral tentacles. They
call it what are those sensory appendages?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Theaging like thing tentacles like an octopus, like coming out
of its mouth or around its mouth?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Are they in the mouth? Where are they?
Speaker 5 (20:14):
Imagine the whiskers that we have. Yeah, we're actually made
of skin and not. Oh interesting. And then they could
push stuff into your mouth so you didn't have to
use your hands.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Oh my gosh, like that woman that I saw at
the theater, the way she was eating that popcorn. Yes,
she could just use her oral tentacles.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
They said that this quing Dow sea slug is the
first species in the pseudo Bornella genus that's been discovered
in almost one hundred years.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I think we could use that for space wars like creatures.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
The thing is that's been done in other space, which
has Yeah, have you ever seen Predator?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
No?
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Not one moment of the movie Predator No? Or Predator two?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
No?
Speaker 5 (21:04):
Why would I see Predator too? About predator versus alien?
Speaker 2 (21:08):
No? So what is the predator?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Is it alien?
Speaker 10 (21:14):
Then?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Why is it alien versus predator?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
It's a different creature.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
But oh so predator and predator too, or is different
than predator versus alien? They're talking about a different type
of predator. No, the predators the same all the time,
and it's also an alien. Well, did you ever see
the movie Alien? Did you ever see the movie Aliens?
I'm seeing the movie Alien. So I'm just trying to
(21:39):
drill down on what the Predator is. And if you
say the Predator is an alien, then why would they
call the movie Predator versus Alien? Isn't that like alien
versus Alien, like a name nom.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Versus the Gremlins?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
So what does the Predator look like?
Speaker 5 (21:56):
I'm not gonna it has oral tentacles that it like
claws and fangs and everything.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Oh fascinating, No, no, it's not.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
You're just saying words now.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I'm googling predator. It looks like a man. It's got legs,
it's upright. What do you think aliens look like?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Predator's very scary.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
And those are not the type of oral tentacles I'm
talking about the way that I'm talking about for Space Wars,
they would be like octopus tentacles.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Sorry, I want to see how long you were going
to go with that, because this is fascinating.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
There is a.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
New study that was published in the journal Science about
buildings that are coded in cement based paint that can
sweat and the sweating paint can keep the buildings that
much cooler. Keeping cool when temperatures rise is often the
largest cost of a building of any size, I mean
(23:00):
a building like this size. We've got six floors in
this building, a couple hundred thousand square feet, probably tens
of thousands of square feet, I'm assuming, and it costs
a lot to keep this place cool, especially in the summer.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
In the San Fernando Valley.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
About twenty percent of all the electricity used in the
world goes to fans and air conditioning systems. And they
said that they want to have this, this paint that
will take advantage of the passive cooling process, in which
an object loses heat through the emission of infrared radiation.
Paints are frequently limited to dry, sunny climates, and the
coatings can't do their job if there's too much outside
(23:38):
ambient moisture or cloud coverage. So on this they're saying
that they would actually be able to have a paint
that sweat and release some of that energy, poling down
the building, making everything cooler and cheaper.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
What are you going to do in a part of
the world where there are no rules.
Speaker 11 (23:56):
We take a trail of the chopper run them down,
wrap those hostages before anybody knows.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Okay, it was Arnold Schwartzenegger in nineteen eighty seven. I
was seven years old.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
That's you saw a lot of movies that you should
not have seen in your young age.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
You're right.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
The color had an older brother. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
So that looks terrifying. I would have been terrified of that.
It would give me nightmares for months.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
A good scary thriller, movement, sci fi, all that stuff.
Jesse the Body of Ventur was in that too.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Oh well then hell q it uh, you.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Got your day made. I don't know what else you're
doing this soon' the.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. I'm watching The Predator tonight.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
The Birthday Boys up next. We'll see you tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Stay drive, everybody, blessings.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M. Six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. I just have to share
this story because it's my favorite story about Kiarina as
I was covering the SuperSonics that were in the playoffs
the year that I was there may have been their
last year in Seattle. Anyway, I'm gootting. I'm in the
(00:22):
tunnel there getting ready to go out into the hardwood
after the after the game, and there's this woman in
the tunnel and she's watching and she's just kind of
like peeking around.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
And I go up and I go, oh, hi, how are.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
You you know?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Blah blah blah, and so what are you doing? Are
you gonna go see someone up the game? She's like, oh, yeah,
ray Allen, that's my son. And so I got to
interview ray Allen's mom at the play like it was
so cool. Just just on who you talk to, who
you strike up a conversation with, You never know what
else is going on.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Time for.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
What's Happening?
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Wow, What's Happening is brought to you today by Trajan Well.
Trajan Well will help you set and achieve those financial
goals for retirement, your local trusted financial fiduciarytrajanwealth dot com.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Well, there have been ICE agents spotted at Dodger Stadium.
This seems to be getting a lot of outside media
attention because it's Dodger Stadium and it's ice, and Dodger
Nation has gotten a little heat for not being vocal
about what's going on with the raids. In fact, they
have an announcement of how they're working with the immigrant
(01:31):
community coming up today. The latest headline I saw about
this was Ice agents are being refused entry into Dodger Stadium. Well,
Dodger Stadium's closed. No one's getting into Dodger Stadium right now.
It's closed. They're not being they're not being told they
can't come in. There's just no way to get into
(01:51):
Dodger Stadium right now. And all the pictures I've seen
from the ridiculous amounts of news coverage is just that
there's some agents outside, But I don't see them banging
on the gates to get into Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
They're not trying to gain entry.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
No no comments from the team specifically exactly what their
plan is. There were some emigration enforcement operations, though that
did apparently take place on Sunset Home Depot in Hollywood.
Video showed a couple agents in gear taking at least
three men into custody, escorted by agents to one of
(02:25):
at least three vans.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
It was parked on a street near the home depot.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
LAPD has had to approve Sorry, the city of la
has had to approve five million dollars in a loan
to cover LAPD overtime from the protests we told you about.
Kenneth Mahea, the Lacity controller, saying that they are probably
spending close to twenty million in total in response to
the protest, not just overtime, but also the simple cleanup
(02:54):
costs that are associated with the people who are vandalizing
the buildings downtown.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I love the post from Ben Verlander on x Fox
Baseball Analyst.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
We're really about to have show.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Hey a Tani out here dropping fifty on Christmas Day
for the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
What a time to be.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Alive about the sale of Margial sale of the Lakers
to the Dodgers owner Mark Walter hilarious. Dave Roberts came off,
came out to kind of push back. It's a hands
off show, hey, They've got enough superstars over there in
the Purple and Gold. But how funny. I love the
memes are going to be great.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
The big deal is that Mark Walter and his group
buying the majority interest in the Lakers from the Bus
family ten billion dollars. That would be the most expensive
sports franchise in the United States and one of the
most expensive in the were Old.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It's got to be the most.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
It's got to be something. Anyway, you show Hey will
not be playing basketball Hurricane wife, though his wife might.
Oh yeah, she is, she is.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Hurricane Eric has made landfall in Hawka early today. It's
located about twenty miles east of Punta mal Donado. We've
got winds at about one twenty five. It is moving
in northwest, but it seems to be.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Well.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
It was downgraded slightly before making landfall, from a Category
four to a Category three. It has been reduced in power,
but it's still considered a major hurricane.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
At that three. It will weaken significantly.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
They said that it's going to run into these mountains
of southern Mexico and that will mean that it will
lose a lot of its energy and possibly even dissipate.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Late tonight or early Friday.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
So as quickly as it gained strength, it's expected to
also diminish pretty quickly.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Well, this sucks.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Rose Bowl is replacing Fourth of July fireworks with a
drone show. It's due to fire concerns. You can understand that.
But there's always been fire concerns up there, and there's
a way to do it safely, and they've done it
forever at the Rose Bowl.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
I don't know why.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
I mean, I do know why drone show have become
as popular as they.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Had not a Fourth of July. You need the fireworks.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Come on, there's a lot of open space around that
Rose exactly going to burn. All right, when we come back,
we'll continue this the in law story. Did you get
information about your turkey yet?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, I did.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
I do that when we come up.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Okay, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
We were talking earlier about in laws and how bad
some in laws can be and have been in the past.
Speaker 7 (05:32):
Hi, guys, my brother in law is a piece of work.
He's just like Gary. He's insecure, he's a no at all.
He's got an ego, can't stand to be told when
he's wrong. He's just a complete lame Bye.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
I wonder if that is my brother. Don't know why
we played that again. That's mean because people say we
don't play the mean ones.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, but you played that twice now now you're just
self flagellating.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Heyya, Shannon, this is Renee.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Renee.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
My ex mother in law was Italian and she was
so hilarious. She would get drunk off of vodka and
she would just curse out everybody in sight, her kid,
their marriage mate, her grandkids. She would sit up at
(06:26):
anybody's house in whole court. And I loved her, but
she never talked bad about me.
Speaker 6 (06:30):
She loved it.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Vodka.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Hell of a ride. Speaking of vodka, here's the turkey story.
Oh boy, so I have this vague there's this vague
family lower story of my grandma Nana throwing a turkey
down the stairs of her home in the Sunset District
in San Francisco. Now, Nana, she liked her cocktails to
the point of surviving cirrhosis at one point. Okay, so
(06:53):
later in life she did not drink as much, but
at the height of her her days, she and her
sister Eleanor liked to go out for their their gin goblets, gimblets,
whatever you call them. So she and Eleanor liked to
and I think Eleanor ended up No, I think she
died of cancer very young. But anyway, apparently one Thanksgiving,
(07:17):
according to my brother, the story goes this way, Nana
was upset that the turkey was taking so long to cook,
so she walked downstairs where the family room was, and
at that point Eleanor went into the oven, grabbed the
turkey that was not done yet, and threw it down
the stairs on my grandma.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Hashtag vodka.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
That's really good. That's great.
Speaker 8 (07:45):
I currently have two faucets that need to be replaced.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Can I get his number?
Speaker 9 (07:55):
Hey, Gary and Shannon, this is Mark from Contanning, Pennsylvani.
I just wanted to say about the in laws. Mine
were awesome. Couldn't have asked for any better ones. They
treated me like family, nice all the time. So there
you go, thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
That's good.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
That's a good one. We don't they don't all have
to be bad. Yeah, Gary and Shannon. I didn't have
a problem.
Speaker 10 (08:19):
With my in laws, but my mother hated every woman
I came home with, and they would be completely different
from each other.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Yeah, yeah, harms.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Mothers are hard my you know, my mom's always been
great with the girls my brother has brought home, and
there have been many.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
You were just savaging your brother today. It's true.
Speaker 11 (08:43):
I have the best mother in law and father in
law only because we don't speak the same language. They
only speak Spanish and I only speak English. But they
are super nice.
Speaker 12 (08:54):
You think they're being nice. Yeah, my brother been married twice.
One out of two of the sister in laws were horrible,
second wife good, and then the wife's sister would be
my sister in law not good. So two for three
(09:16):
out of the bad sister in law.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
That's funny because usually men are kind of cool with whatever,
like they don't really.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
It's harder for us to get exercised about a bad
relationship with somebody.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Yeah, or just like a woman who you don't maybe
get along with, or you don't see eye to eye with.
Rarely is that even a Does that matter?
Speaker 10 (09:38):
No, you just don't spend time with it, right, I mean, oh,
Gary and shedding the in laws, huh? Well, mine thought
I would here illegally even though I had a US
college degree. I was working a good job, and still
I tend my wife to investigate to make sure the
government is not going to send me home, and also
(10:01):
that'll need that to also make sure that I'm not
taking American jobs.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Interesting, I got a text from Michael.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
He says, my ex wife hates that me and her
dad talk all the time. He tells me that she
keeps trying to push him to accept her new husband
and have a relationship like he does with me. Practically,
her entire family still communicate with me regularly on social
media and she hates that too. But like her dad
told me, he told her to stop bringing on new dudes.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
Strange science is coming up.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Private space stations are possible, but we got a problem
with the public space station that's up there right now.
And Lake Tahoe is getting murky.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Ooh, that's awful.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Nobody knows why.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
Yeah, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI.
A six forty got.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Married a couple months ago.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I thought by that afternoon we'd have pictures of him
and the wife and all that.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
That was like a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Well, the latest in the story is that journalists and
others have dug up the public legal records.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And Aaron Rodgers is not married.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
His family doesn't believe it's real, But he doesn't talked
to his family, So what the hell do we care
what they have to say in this regard? So the
story gets a little weirder. Would you is this all
for show? It's just is this to silence anybody who
wants to ask stupid questions about his personal life? Is
it a way to make people just give him a
little something and they'll shut up for a while.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
If the news director came to you and said, I
need you to go down to the courthouse and see
if Aaron Rodgers pulled a marriage license, would you would
that be a thing?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Well, it's just a public records request at that point,
you know, I know, to any sort.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Of uh like, who cares? I mean, if it's.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
It's it's of interest.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
A weird It's a weird story the whole He's a
he's gone off the deep end or he.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Was living there. He's been living there for years.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
He's been living for a long time.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
We had one more in law one I wanted to
play for us before we get into strained side.
Speaker 8 (12:16):
Hey, Garon Shannon, I think mother in law daughter in
law relationship dynamics are the most complicated ones out there.
My experience has been that my mother in law has
looked to fill the emotional void left by her husband,
who they don't have a loving, affectionate marriage. So I
think she's just looked to fill that void with her son.
(12:37):
And now I've just learned that and i let him
have his relationship with her, and I'm fine. I have peace.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
That's good for you.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
That's that is a strong it's an advanced diagnosis of
that of that relationship.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
And well there's something missing that mom needs the son
in her life that much.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Maybe I don't know. I don't know these people, but
I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
It's time for strange science.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I should never say anything about mothers and sons. You
get in a lot of trouble doing that.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
It's like weird science.
Speaker 7 (13:14):
But strange.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Well, private space stations sound pretty darn cool. I mean,
just think of the view alone. Several companies are aiming
to build facilities that would replace the International Space Station
and attract a new variety of tenants and travelers anywhere
(13:39):
from government astronauts to private research scientists and tourists.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Yeah, this potentially a money maker. You got to have
some sort of commercial viability for it to continue to operate.
Think of what you know, Blue Origin with Jeff Bezos
and SpaceX with Elon Musk.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
What they've been trying to do, which is find a.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
Public facing company that are sorry, private facing company that
can do public things. You got to make money doing it, though,
and the government is not necessarily the best way to
make sure that you have continued funds coming in, although
you can milk the.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Government for a lot of money.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
So if you had a way to continue to profit
off of this thing but also be useful. The different
space stations are talking sorry, different companies are working on
these different space stations. Axiom is a company that says
that they would host as many as eight people in
five different modules that orbit above the Earth. This is
(14:45):
a company that's based out of Houston. They said they're
going to start with a smaller deal that allows them
to stick a module onto the current International Space Station,
and then the company plans to first connect a power
module to the current one, later to attach that device
and link it to a habitat that they could build
and send up. Voyager Technologies has a plan for one
(15:06):
of these things. VAST is a company that says they
want to put together a bunch of haven stations and
then a large integrated flexible environment by Sierra Space. Is
interesting because it's like basically a giant inflatable temporary tent
is what it looks like that they would do in space,
and Blue Origin has a version of it as well.
(15:27):
Then one of the reasons they need to do that
is the current International Space Station is leaking. There's a
small leak they say has sprung up on the International
Space Station and it's caused an upcoming mission to be
delayed by NASA as they try to figure out what
this is. The leak was identified earlier this month. They
(15:48):
said it's not significant, but you have to properly seal
it in a timely manner to make sure that those
astronauts that are currently on the station are safe. It's
not uncommon, but they got to make sure that they
figure this thing out because it doesn't so it doesn't
get it doesn't get any worse. They had one before,
I think it was in the Russian side. One of
(16:10):
the other capsules on the Russian side had developed a
leak that they were able to fix.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Did you know that otters hold hands while they sleep
to avoid drifting away from each other?
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Oh, it's called rafting. Isn't that nice?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
That's a good science nugget.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I know. Does your wife like to hold your hand? No?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
All right? Coming up next to more strange science, we've
got Lake Tahoe news. Also, puppies have found dining on
wooly rhinos.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
That's disgusting and we're not going to actually talk about that.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Why not, but we will. Puppies are dead.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Puppies been dead for thousands of years. It looks like, yeah,
but just that it's lunchtime. And the idea of animals
eating other animals, it grosses me out.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
The way that you found out is you cut open
a dead animal to find what they ate fourteen thousand years?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Well, what about oral tentacles? When I talk about those instead?
Speaker 4 (17:09):
You know it.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
We are in the midst of strange science. Some of
these stories that are just weird. Apparently Lake Tahoe has
a annual Clarity Report. It was released this week by
the University of You see Davis researchers.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Lake Tahoe known for its clarity.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
Right, they said, the Tahoe Environmental Research Center there at
you see Davis found the lake's average clarity last year
was sixty two point three feet, which is really deep,
but that's six feet shallower than it was just a
couple of years ago. The level of clarity was surpassed
in cloudiness only in twenty twenty one. That was wildfire year,
(17:57):
so wildfire smoke blanketed the area. Twenty seventeen, they had
very heavy storms and that was marked by the runoff
or was caused by the runoff. Clarity is measured using
what they say is a seci disc. Researchers lower this
white disk into the water to determine the depth at
which it disappears. And since the nineteen sixties scientists began
(18:21):
monitoring the lake then, they said, average clarity has declined
by about forty feet since the nineteen sixties.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Summer clarity continues to deteriorate.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
They do not know exactly why, trying to figure out
what those particles are that.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Would affect clarity.
Speaker 5 (18:39):
One theory is that its microscopic plankton too small to
have been tracked in some of those earlier studies, but
as technology gets better.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
They may be able to do it, may be able
to keep an eye on it.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Researchers have discovered an unusual spiky creature feeding on a jelly.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Fish like species called hydro in recent years.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Similar specimens have been recorded in that area of the
Yellow Sea, just off the east coast of China, but
never identified until now. Researchers have confirmed all ten creatures
belong to a new species of sea slug. This is
according Have you gotten your peer review journal named zoo
(19:23):
keys yet?
Speaker 4 (19:25):
No, I haven't.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
It just came out yesterday, so it might not get
here till sat Well with Juneteenth, you might not get
it until Monday.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
That's a good point.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
It is called the Quingdao sea slug. It's about an
inch and a half long, which researchers call large for
a sea slug.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Lucky.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
The body is translucent yellow to dark brown with numerous
scattered orange to brown spots and white blotches.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
Sounds like it's got to get to a nuckner wide,
pale pink foot, and four or five oral tentacles. They
call it what are those sensory appendages?
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Theaging like thing tentacles like an octopus, like coming out
of its mouth or around its mouth?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Are they in the mouth? Where are they?
Speaker 5 (20:14):
Imagine the whiskers that we have. Yeah, we're actually made
of skin and not. Oh interesting. And then they could
push stuff into your mouth so you didn't have to
use your hands.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Oh my gosh, like that woman that I saw at
the theater, the way she was eating that popcorn. Yes,
she could just use her oral tentacles.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
They said that this quing Dow sea slug is the
first species in the pseudo Bornella genus that's been discovered
in almost one hundred years.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I think we could use that for space wars like creatures.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
The thing is that's been done in other space, which
has Yeah, have you ever seen Predator?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
No?
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Not one moment of the movie Predator No? Or Predator two?
Speaker 2 (21:02):
No?
Speaker 5 (21:04):
Why would I see Predator too? About predator versus alien?
Speaker 2 (21:08):
No? So what is the predator?
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Is it alien?
Speaker 10 (21:14):
Then?
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Why is it alien versus predator?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
It's a different creature.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
But oh so predator and predator too, or is different
than predator versus alien? They're talking about a different type
of predator. No, the predators the same all the time,
and it's also an alien. Well, did you ever see
the movie Alien? Did you ever see the movie Aliens?
I'm seeing the movie Alien. So I'm just trying to
(21:39):
drill down on what the Predator is. And if you
say the Predator is an alien, then why would they
call the movie Predator versus Alien? Isn't that like alien
versus Alien, like a name nom.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
Versus the Gremlins?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
So what does the Predator look like?
Speaker 5 (21:56):
I'm not gonna it has oral tentacles that it like
claws and fangs and everything.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Oh fascinating, No, no, it's not.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
You're just saying words now.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
I'm googling predator. It looks like a man. It's got legs,
it's upright. What do you think aliens look like?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Predator's very scary.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
And those are not the type of oral tentacles I'm
talking about the way that I'm talking about for Space Wars,
they would be like octopus tentacles.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Sorry, I want to see how long you were going
to go with that, because this is fascinating.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
There is a.
Speaker 5 (22:38):
New study that was published in the journal Science about
buildings that are coded in cement based paint that can
sweat and the sweating paint can keep the buildings that
much cooler. Keeping cool when temperatures rise is often the
largest cost of a building of any size, I mean
(23:00):
a building like this size. We've got six floors in
this building, a couple hundred thousand square feet, probably tens
of thousands of square feet, I'm assuming, and it costs
a lot to keep this place cool, especially in the summer.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
In the San Fernando Valley.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
About twenty percent of all the electricity used in the
world goes to fans and air conditioning systems. And they
said that they want to have this, this paint that
will take advantage of the passive cooling process, in which
an object loses heat through the emission of infrared radiation.
Paints are frequently limited to dry, sunny climates, and the
coatings can't do their job if there's too much outside
(23:38):
ambient moisture or cloud coverage. So on this they're saying
that they would actually be able to have a paint
that sweat and release some of that energy, poling down
the building, making everything cooler and cheaper.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
What are you going to do in a part of
the world where there are no rules.
Speaker 11 (23:56):
We take a trail of the chopper run them down,
wrap those hostages before anybody knows.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Okay, it was Arnold Schwartzenegger in nineteen eighty seven. I
was seven years old.
