Speaker 1 (00:00):
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. That's what happens when your little
darlings shoot and kill their parents. The crime scene pictures
are horrific. You think the DA did that. No, it
was your little darlings that did that. That's why ye
(00:22):
had eighty five. You're sent into the hospital in critical care.
It wasn't because the DA show the pictures of what
your little darlings did.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
It's because of what your little darlings did morning also
eighty five.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I'm sorry, that's not a shock that you're put into
the hospital with critical condition, right.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Distress of being in the eighty.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Five, yeah, stress of walking to the.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Bathroom, stress of a Friday when you're eighty five, that
can be a big deal.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
So, speaking of walking and stress, I was walking into
the studio and I can count on one hand the
amount of times Amy King has kind of flagged me
down on our way in here, and to was one
of those days. Or she said, Shannon Farren, and I
said what's going on? And I said Amy King? And
she said, are you guys going to cover the space
(01:09):
situation or I forget what she said. What she called it,
and I said, I don't know. I haven't looked at
the rundown yet, and she said, and.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
She was upset about it.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
So I said, well, we absolutely have to address it
if Amy King's upset, not not super upset, but.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Just slightly upset.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
So they made this thing out to be it's historic.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
These women are changing history because Katy Perry and Gail
King and Jeff Bezos's girl fiance and three other like
I would say, legit. People were on the UH on
the Blue Origin rocket this morning. Very cool, right, you
get to shoot up into SubOrbit, be waitless for a
(01:56):
couple of minutes. The ride lasts eleven minutes total. And
they came back and I was like, okay, that's cool.
And they made a big deal that it was an
all women crew and I'm like, well, you didn't do anything.
He just sat there, strapped in and I was just
sort of like, really, like everybody rails against the rich
(02:19):
people who have this, you know, they can do whatever
they want. Well, theyre when a bunch of rich people
who did whatever they want. They talked about how they
were changing history, and then the thing that really got
me was when they got back after eleven minutes in.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Space, on the edge of space.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Actually it was about three minutes.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Reagan would say, touching the face of God.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Gail King and Katie Perry kissed the ground.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Oh kive, for.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
The love Christ.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Great.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
You know what pisses me off, Amy, Now, this was
a blind spot for me. I had no idea this
happened or was happening, and now that you're telling me
about it, I'm getting very upset. The idea that they
called this an all female crew, I think is what
pisses me off the most, because you're right, not a crew.
It's not like they're doing anything. They're sitting there on
a ride. They're at Disneyland for rich people. They're not
(03:08):
crewing jack s.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
You don't go to Disneyland and crewe the Pirates of
the Caribbean.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
And the fact that they're saying this is the first
time an all female crew, what do you tell since
the Russian cosmonaut who became the first woman in space.
If I'm that Russian woman, I am pissed off. You're
putting me in the same conversation as Gail King and
Katie Perry.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Not certain she's still around, but I don't care.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
She's pissed. She's dead, and she's pissed.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Like when an all female crew actually goes to space
and does the work of going to space and cruise that,
then that's cool, right, That's something to be celebrated, and
you can put that all female label on it. But
if it's just a Disneyland ride for rich people and
then you're publicizing it as a female accomplishment, that's a
that's pretty lame.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Valentina is still alive. Valentina Tereshkova, Ah, she's still around.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Did you have sex with her? Or is that the other.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
One sex with her?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Amy, what have you done? You've started something?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I'm sorry, it just it was again, it was very cool.
I'm sure it was very fun. You could hear them
screaming and yelling.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Very cool and very fun. And that's exactly how it
should be built, not as some sort of accomplishment.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
And then and then Katie came back and they were interviewing,
and she said, I did this because it's going to
change things for.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Every right, is that right?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
How?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I don't know secret experiment she was doing up there?
That way to know about for three seconds of waitless. Yeah, okay,
it might have been three minutes.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Maybe maybe she was.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I forgot that Valentina was your girlfriend in high school.
Of course you weren't having sex with her. That would
be weird. All right, kids, you should wait. I should
waitate a rush until you're nineteen.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I didn't date a cosmonaut.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
No, but the girl that you dated, a girl you
dated in high school, was naed Valentina. That's the last
time I remember hearing the name Valentina.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Yes, okay, yeah, it's a good name.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
It's a great name. Are you kidding?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
There's a beautiful hot sauce.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
We should get something and name it Valentina.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
What there's a hot sauce? Really, it has nothing to
do with either my high school girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Or was she.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Was she a spicy girl?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
No?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Oh? Really?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Kind of boring? Oh yeah, wow, I'm.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Just saying, is that why you didn't have sex with her?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Among other things? Yes, that's awful.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
We don't mean any of that. It's okay to be boring.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
We're playing a fun game.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Boring can be sexy.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Uh So, I can't wait to see the long form
interviews of these these people who went to space today.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
The interviews will probably be longer.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I'm not going to watch any Actually, we're not playing
any of them all. No, we're not, absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
President Trump is a hosted the President of Al Salvador
at the White House today and they're doing I don't
know if you've noticed all of the gold appointments that
have now been added to the Oval Office.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
It really gaudy.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Oh they they got a shine of gold paint, didn't they. Yeah,
this is like whoever does the helmets for Notre Dame
football in the off season. They got pulled into the
Oval Office to touch up the paint.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Look, you can see that the table has.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
All very fresh gold paint.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
All of the giant, hugely ornate frames around the pictures
those are all gold now as well.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Yeah, that's an odd It's just an odd look.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
That's like what Trump's house is like, though exactly he's
do it.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
He gets to call the shots on that.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
It's very nineteen eighties Miami Vice esque kind of aesthetic. Hey,
the giants are off to their best art since two
thousand and three?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Do you know that?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I do know that.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I don't bring it up because you get mad at
me when I say things like, if your third place
Dodgers are taking on the Rock.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Tonight April, it's April.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I also know that.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I thought I'd give you a win while you can
take it.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
The Dodgers don't play the Giants until June. Until mid June.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
That's weird, right, it's stupid.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I don't like that schedule. There's got to be a
way to adjust that.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You know, you should go up there and see a game.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I've been reading about this new mayor of San Francisco
kind of doing things right.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
He's turning things around.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
The vibe is different, vibe the way they're super different,
and he is trying to be their poster boy.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
And I thought for the first time after reading a
lengthy piece about him. The last time we talked about him,
it was crimes down in San Francisco a lot, And
then I read this piece about him, and I'm thinking,
maybe I should go back to San Francis see what
a difference can make in terms of tourism and tax dollars.
Somebody who's just like, you know, we're not going to
(07:51):
put up with this. We're not going to have needles
in the street, We're not going to make this okay.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
You're not going to give out. You can't do that,
and you can't poop there. Yeah huh. Anyway, the Dodgers

Speaker 4 (08:16):
Look at that tonight, by the way, is the Hello
Kitty Squish Plush.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Oh, it's gonna be a freaking madhouse.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Hey, look at that all that money we have, oh,
just sitting around. Yeah, we're going to give that away
when we come back.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
All right, we'll do so, Gary and Channon, we'll continue.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Forty man accused of setting fire to Josh Shapiro's home
while he and his family were sleeping.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
How terrifying.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Shapiro Is wife Lori, their four children, two dogs, and
another family forced to evacuate. This happened early yesterday morning.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
This was Governor Josh Shapiro explaining it to the News
Comperence after later yesterday.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
At approximately two o'clock in the morning, while my family
and I were asleep upstairs here at the Governor's residence,
one of the state troopers assigned to our detail banged
on our door, woke us up and told us we
had an emergency and needed to leave immediately. Together, we
(09:23):
secured all of our children, our two dogs, our family
that was staying with us, and the troopers safely evacuated
us from the Governor's residence.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Thirty eight year old guy named Cody Balmer turned himself
into police, being held on charges of attempted murder, aggravated arson,
and terrorism, among other things, in connection with this fire.
Here's what we know. There are more questions in my
mind than there are our answers as to exactly what happened.
But they said that this guy was able to hop
(09:55):
the fence that surrounds the Harrisburg residence, the Harrisburg Governor's mansion. There,
he broke a couple of windows with a hammer. He
climbed in through one of them to get into the home,
where he threw in a couple of Molotov cocktails he
had made by siphoning gas out of a lawnmower, and
putting it into Heineken bottles to start the fire. He
(10:17):
was inside the governor's residence, they said, for less than
one minute, and was actively evading state troopers who were
looking for him at the time. He was able to
kick the dining room door down and leave, and they
didn't even get him when he was there. It was
later that I think his girlfriend or an ex girlfriend, yeah,
(10:38):
called the cops to say that her ex boyfriend admitted
that this was his doing.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Cody Palmer, thirty eight bomber admitted to harboring hatred towards Shapiro,
said if Shapiro had found him inside his home, he
would have beaten the governor with his hammer.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
A couple of questions. I know that this is not
the president and the Secret Service guarding him, but every
state governor has a security detail. Were Is there no
burglar alarm intrusions?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Is there like simply safe? Is there no smoke? Is
there no home alarm system?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I mean, what are we doing?
Speaker 4 (11:19):
It's just an odd It's very odd. I mean, thankfully
he was able to get out. He he and the family,
like he said, and the dogs, et cetera.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
We don't know the person's specific motive yet. But we
do know a few truths. First, this type of violence
is not okay.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Who is this? That's the governor.
Speaker 7 (11:45):
This kind of violence is becoming far too common in
our society, and I don't give a damn if it's
coming from one particular side or the other. Directed it
one particular party or another, one particular person or another.
It is not okay.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
And it has to stop.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
This isn't just this is mental illness. You don't bust
into the governor's home and want to beat him with
a hammer because of just simple crime rates.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
This is when they got this guy and it turns
out that this is what he was there to do.
It completely reminded me of the guy that went after
Nancy Pelosi and ended up hitting.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Although I still think that there's something, No, there's not.
He had a cocktail in his hand. Who did husband?
So that ice in it?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
You don't have.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
A tumbler if somebody has broken into your home to
kill you, even if it was even if that person
demanded a glass of water, you don't put ice in it.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
The fact that he has and what ice, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
He's just trying to be nice you don't want to
make the guy even more mad by not putting ice
in them.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
What kind of intruder says and put ice in it.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
It just it's someone who's crazy, said, we already established
this is this is the work of mental illness.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I got in trouble, by the way at the time
for saying that there was something amiss there.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I know, I remember.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I still believe there's something amiss that house.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
I looked it up. Built in nineteen sixty eight. The
Governor's the mansion there that they used in Harrisburg. I
don't know why I spent that much time even bothering
to look. It's a twenty nine thousand square foot house,
but most of the bottom floor is like ceremonial.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
It's like twenty times the size of my house. Yeah,
it's a big, a big, big bird. That is a
big bird.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
So anyway, good news is that they got the guy.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
The house itself had some pretty significant damage, but for
the most part, everybody else got out safely.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
They'll be reviewing security detail around the governor.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
You ever play red Light Green Light at Calskate?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah, wow, ouch, I know head, I know it's a
real humbler, isn't it? Elizabeth Warren s as the president
is playing red light green light with the tariffs. We've
got exemptions on tech that seem to be temporary. What
you should know when we return.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
If this wasn't so embarrassing, it would be pure comedy.
But the women who paid a bunch of money to
go to space for eleven minutes but are now calling
themselves astronauts and a crew are holding a press conference.
They're all in hot form fitting waste giving space suits.
They've had a glam squad there picture Real Housewives reunion
(14:50):
right like that kind of glam squad situation, but in
hot spacesuits like Barbie spacesuits. And they're talking about overcoming
adversity to have gone on this flight. Gail King actually
just said, guys, she just said something to the effect
of it hurts. At one point she felt pain, and
she said, now I feel like it can overcome anything.
(15:12):
I'm going to go get my ears pierced. Now I've
always been afraid because that hurts. Like this is a
true story. This is happening live right now. And I
and like you said, Amy, I just remembered the word
you said to me as I was walking down the hall. Embarrassing.
That's exactly right. It's embarrassing. I'm embarrassed the fact that
they're fielding questions, no irony whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
This is not a joke.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
They think that they're astronauts, that they that they that
they did real work today in the space program. Like
it's really freaking embarrassing. It's like rich people with their
head in the stands saying excuse me.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Compounded by this this.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Woman power thing that is unearned. There is unearned. That
that I think is the is the worst part about it.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
I'm saying this as a guy in normal on thin
ice here, but stop asking about feelings and emotions about
what happened. And that's a I mean, it's it's a
it's a I think it's Clarissa Thompson, Carrissa Thompson sports
reporter who's asking these these six women about their their
(16:29):
time and it's not I mean, listen, they weren't.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Up there.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Because it wasn't technically they were writing this thing.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
But they're acting, they're answering these emotions, feelings, questions like
it's technical.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Yeah, they're answering like it was Apollo thirteen and they
weren't sure they were going to come back.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yes, yes, that's why. That's why it's embarrassing.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Amy it was because I listen, it takes giant ovaries
or balls.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I don't care to do what they did. And there are.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Women in NASA right now who are doing the real thing.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
So who are Sonny Williams, who, like you said, just
came off of this International Space Station because she was
up there for nine months when she was only supposed
to be up there for nine days. Where is she
crushing popcorn right now watching these ladies and just laughing
at them like all sisters, you have no you have
no clue.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
It's such a farce. It's so embarrassing. And the fact
that they're given any sort of platform, like it's a
cool thing they did. They should take pictures, they should
be in their hot space suits and in post post away.
But like the idea that this is being held up
is a real space mission is embarrassing for the whole country.
(17:42):
My god, who throw do we celebrate celebrity this much?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Yes, that's embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
And don't forget.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
I mean, there's one major aspect of this that you
can't ignore. They chose Katy Perry, they chose Gail King.
Jeff Bezos chose his fiancee to be on this, and
he's the one who's you know, who's bankrolling this whole thing.
It's not a giant leap forward for womenkind. It's not
(18:11):
a giant leap forward for the space race. It's not
a giant leap forward for anything other than Jeff Bezos
marketing his company.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
If I have a little girl and she's watching this,
and she looks at this and she goes, I want
to be one of these women, I'm thinking, yes, that
is an avenue.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Get rich, get work done, get all the diets.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Make sure you compare this.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
But you could also look at Gary's daughter, who is
a grad student, a biochemistry grad student on a full ride,
and you can get there that way too. And what's
more rewarding making your lipstick match your space suit or
knowing you did the work at the end of the day.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
I mean the unseriousness of Lord Katy Perry holding a
little flower the entire time she was there.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
It was for her daughter, Okay. Her shot name is Daisy.
It is stop it, Daisy.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
I'm worried.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
You can grow up in any environment, the row, through
the cracks in concrete.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Stop it.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
They can survive and they can thrive.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Guess what, Katy Perry's daughter never has to worry about
living in concrete. Good lord, are you freaking serious, Amy King?
I did not have Amy King pissing me off for
the entire day on my Bengo card this morning.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Not you personally look.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
At her face.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
No, don't be upset.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Amy's got a good foot on you, so be careful.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Oh my goodness, Amy King knows where the trigger is.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
So the other actual news that's going on over the
weekend has been this on again, off again discussion of
tariffs and what in the world is going on.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
We should ask Katy Perry, Gail King what to do.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
The Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik says the decision on Friday
to exempt electronic devices think iPhones, other smartphones, laptops and
things like that from tariffs is only temporary and those
products will still face separate levees. So we have tariffs,
(20:25):
then we don't have tariffs, and then we have some
tariffs but not all tariffs. And somewhere someone in the
White House is describing this as a master plan that
is playing out exactly the way they want it to.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Why don't we know what that master plan is?
Speaker 4 (20:42):
And why does it feel like this is seat of
the paints work every single day.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I don't think there is a master port can't be.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I mean, when you are negotiating a deal, there's going
to be a lot of what's the word, I'm looking variables.
There's gonna be a lot of variables. So you've got
to kind of constantly pivot and adjust your stance.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Right, That's what's happening.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
There is no massive road plan map of what's going on,
no roadmap of what they're doing, because you've got to
constantly pivot based on the responses you're getting. I mean,
that's why you've seen them start and stop. That's you know,
that's why you saw Trump act when he did. Was
it some sort of master plan with manipulating the stock market,
(21:26):
as much as that's a fun theory to think about, No,
it was the fact that everyone sold off their bonds
overnight and freaked out.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
He did, right, did President Trump? On truth? Social Nobody's
getting off the hook. He said, there was no tariff
exception announced on Friday. These products, specifically those tech products,
are subject to the existing twenty percent fentanyl tariffs, and
they are just moving to a different tariff bucket.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
The fake news knows this but refuses to report it.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
The thing is, he's got to understand that, even if
he wants to claim that the news media is out
to get him, they've got to go out of their
way to make this as easy as possible to report
so that it doesn't appear like it is just a
seat of the pants kind of policy that's coming left
and right. Noticed from the US Customs Import of Protection
(22:17):
exempted the electronic products from that one hundred and forty
five percent tariff on Chinese goods, and while China has
said they're not going to back down, they've also said
it does not look like they will increase tariffs on
the United States higher than the one hundred and twenty
five percent right now. Kevin Hassett is the National Economic
(22:37):
Council Director. He said that one hundred and thirty countries
now are negotiating teriffs with the United States after the
ninety day pause that we saw last week, So there
is some progress. It does not seem like it's a
completely ironed out It's not a smooth process, but it
is a process.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Nonetheless, Gary and Shannon will continue full body MRIs. This
is a big thing. Celebrities are making this a big thing,
aren't they? Get the full bardy arm MRI if you
can afford it. See what's percolating under your skin there. Well,
there's some research that says it could save your life or.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
It could ruin it.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
There is a little bit of a find my friend's
analogy to be made with this stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Okay, I'll do that.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Well as somebody who tracks people the way you track everybody.
Not me.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I am tracked by no one.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
You don't know that.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
I'm not hard to figure out.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
That's true. Very little mystery there.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Mostly a positive day on Wall Street led by tech stocks.
Of course, we were talking earlier about the tariffs that
had been imposed and then exempted some. The President exempted
some technologies from from the So you've got phones and
laptops and things like that made in China that will
not be charged the same one hundred and forty five
(24:06):
percent tariff as other items.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Wall Street is responding major averages opened higher, shifted lower.
I've rose back up in today's session after the exemptions announcement.
They are not permanent according to the Commerce Secretary, but
at last check that dow was up. Oh, I don't
know two hundred points or so.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Naib Bukele, I think is how you say his name is?
Speaker 4 (24:28):
The President of Al Salvador calls himself the world's coolest
dictator is visiting with President Trump at the White House today.
When we get into Swamp Watch, we'll talk a little
bit more about what they said in this sort of
informal Oval office meeting they had, including the discussion over
the wrongly deported guy from Maryland who ended up in
that prison in l Salvador, and whether or not President
(24:50):
Bukeley is going to help us get him back despite
or because of what the courts had ordered.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Full body MRIs sans require just an hour to image
you from head to toe. You're hearing a lot about
these on social media from celebrities and influencers who hold
them up as a pillar of preventative health to catch
problems early on whatever they're hiding before they become hard.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
To treat diseases.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Dwayne Wade, for example, recently credited a whole body MRI
with alerting him to an early stage kidney cancer.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
These things can be pretty expensive, I mean two three
thousand dollars depending on where you get it.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
There is.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Still some some downside to this for some people. I mean,
on the one hand, you look at it as a
sort of the future of science because it has these
MRIs now have the ability to see things that you
might not even feel yet. Think of, you know, the
more dire version of something like a tumor that's growing
(26:02):
on your kidney's weighing weight as a great example, But
you hadn't seen any of the symptoms yet. Which is
an even better time to be able to treat something
like that, is before it starts wreaking havoc on your body.
One of them aneurysms cancers. One of the doctors says,
we can find stage one cancers before any symptoms appear.
(26:24):
So and as the technology advances, it becomes faster, it
becomes more accurate. It can detect diseases in even earlier stages.
But what do you do then with that information and
some of that is the conundrum that exists here the drawbacks.
(26:46):
If you don't have any symptoms, you don't have any
unique risks, like some sort of a disorder that makes
you more vulnerable to disease or something like that, you
run the risk I think of knowing too much about
what's going on inside your path, going.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Too much, giving yourself unnecessary worries and unnecessary procedures. I mean,
I think that there's a lot of emphasis on treating
every single little thing for some people. Well, here's an
anecdote that Time magazine pointed out Calvin's son. Calvin is
(27:24):
a healthy thirty seven year old. A full body MRI
scan showed assist in his sydney a kidney excuse me,
sun saw aurologist who was optimistic it wasn't cancerous, offered
him a surgery appointment several weeks away to inspect the
kidney and operate if necessary.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Calvin, by the way, is an er doctor.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
He knows what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
He knows what he's doing well. He had no family
history of cancer. This was a guy who exercised at
a plant based diet, super healthy.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
The cyst he thought would mean nothing, but even so he.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Persuaded his doctors to check it out to expedite surgery
to avoid spending months doing and ruminating about worst case scenarios.
His care team prepared to potentially remove a small part
of his right kidney as a precautionary measure. Every expectation
was that it would be benign. He wakes up five
hours later and learns the kidney was completely gone. The
(28:26):
surgeons removed it because they thought the surface looked malignant.
He has no complications from surgery. He's thirty seven and healthy,
but older people tend to be less predicted due to
age related changes. Unnecessary surgeries could cause serious consequences. Every endoscopy, biopsy,
surgical procedure.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
There are risks that come with that just on its
face that could be life threatening.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
They also that discussion of okay, so about fifteen to
thirty percent of these whole body MRIs do show something
that would be of concern. The question is then what
do you do with it? Even if it does show
something growing on your kidney for example, that's not supposed
to be there. Does that thing then, I mean, they
(29:16):
have no idea how fast that's going to grow, whether
it's malignant, if it is going to ever have an
impact on your health. But taking a kidney out of
your body automatically puts you in a position where your
health is you know, not what it was.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I was talking to a doctor my mom going through
pancreatic cancer stuff, and the doctor said, well, there's spots
on the pancreas, but you and I have spots on
our pancreas. Okay, Well, you don't know if there's a
problematic unless you biopsy them. Right, Well, going through a
biopsy is not going through a walk in the freaking park.
There's a lot that goes on with that, and that's
(29:50):
exactly what we're talking about here.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
And if you know, so, use that doctor as an example.
He's thirty seven, Is that what you said? So he's
thirty seven years old. What if he he lives another
fifteen years and has zero symptoms, there are zero problems
with whatever's going on on his kidney, and he lives
his life normally and healthy, and he's happy, and he
(30:12):
does all the things that he wants to do. And
then at the age of sixty two, he then realizes,
I guess it would be fifty two. He realizes that
something is wrong and he needs to go in for
treatment to get it taken care of.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Whatever.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
The knowledge of having that, you know, when he was
thirty seven doesn't necessarily change the mortality or his outlook
on life at fifty two when something did come up
that and I mean you're going through it right now.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
We went through it with my parents.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
This measuring of treatment versus life, like what quality of life?
Where it was somebody going to have If my mom,
for example, if she had to go through another round
of chemotherapy, it would have just been awful. I mean,
that's an awful thing to do to the body if
you're not strong enough to take it. And that kind
(31:04):
of mentality of figuring out where, how you want to know,
how much you want to know about what's going on,
that's the whole Find my friends.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
What's the word analogy that I was going for.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Yeah, you follow everybody, and I mean kids like to
anybody between the age of fifteen and twenty eight right
now follows dozens of people probably with their phones. They
follow friends, they follow ex boyfriends, whatever.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Got what an awful world?
Speaker 4 (31:31):
But then you know when they're somewhere they're not supposed
to be, but let them Yes, yes, Mel Robbins.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
I agree, but that's harder.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
My friends Bone and some other girl let him.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
But that's harder to do. That's harder to do than
it sounds.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
It's harder sometimes to let that information go when you've
got the information.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
And that's why they talk about these full body MRI.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Scans And you can put me down tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Mental health content sequences tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Or this afternoon. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
We're gonna need a syringe.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
I'm gonna have lunch first because because that sounds good.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
There were more naked people at Disneyland this weekend than
there were a Coachella did you Did you know that?
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Uh no, but I didn't know. Coachella was still a thing.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
It was very hot over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
It wasn't Bertie and which means it was not hot.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
So this is Jump the Shark is on Gary and Shannon.
We'll talk about Coachella when we come back right after this.
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show. 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 Lab
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. That's what happens when your little
darlings shoot and kill their parents. The crime scene pictures
are horrific. You think the DA did that. No, it
was your little darlings that did that. That's why ye
(00:22):
had eighty five. You're sent into the hospital in critical care.
It wasn't because the DA show the pictures of what
your little darlings did.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
It's because of what your little darlings did morning also
eighty five.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I'm sorry, that's not a shock that you're put into
the hospital with critical condition, right.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Distress of being in the eighty.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Five, yeah, stress of walking to the.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Bathroom, stress of a Friday when you're eighty five, that
can be a big deal.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
So, speaking of walking and stress, I was walking into
the studio and I can count on one hand the
amount of times Amy King has kind of flagged me
down on our way in here, and to was one
of those days. Or she said, Shannon Farren, and I
said what's going on? And I said Amy King? And
she said, are you guys going to cover the space
(01:09):
situation or I forget what she said. What she called it,
and I said, I don't know. I haven't looked at
the rundown yet, and she said, and.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
She was upset about it.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
So I said, well, we absolutely have to address it
if Amy King's upset, not not super upset, but.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Just slightly upset.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
So they made this thing out to be it's historic.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
These women are changing history because Katy Perry and Gail
King and Jeff Bezos's girl fiance and three other like
I would say, legit. People were on the UH on
the Blue Origin rocket this morning. Very cool, right, you
get to shoot up into SubOrbit, be waitless for a
(01:56):
couple of minutes. The ride lasts eleven minutes total. And
they came back and I was like, okay, that's cool.
And they made a big deal that it was an
all women crew and I'm like, well, you didn't do anything.
He just sat there, strapped in and I was just
sort of like, really, like everybody rails against the rich
(02:19):
people who have this, you know, they can do whatever
they want. Well, theyre when a bunch of rich people
who did whatever they want. They talked about how they
were changing history, and then the thing that really got
me was when they got back after eleven minutes in.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Space, on the edge of space.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Actually it was about three minutes.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Reagan would say, touching the face of God.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Gail King and Katie Perry kissed the ground.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Oh kive, for.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
The love Christ.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Great.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
You know what pisses me off, Amy, Now, this was
a blind spot for me. I had no idea this
happened or was happening, and now that you're telling me
about it, I'm getting very upset. The idea that they
called this an all female crew, I think is what
pisses me off the most, because you're right, not a crew.
It's not like they're doing anything. They're sitting there on
a ride. They're at Disneyland for rich people. They're not
(03:08):
crewing jack s.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
You don't go to Disneyland and crewe the Pirates of
the Caribbean.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
And the fact that they're saying this is the first
time an all female crew, what do you tell since
the Russian cosmonaut who became the first woman in space.
If I'm that Russian woman, I am pissed off. You're
putting me in the same conversation as Gail King and
Katie Perry.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Not certain she's still around, but I don't care.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
She's pissed. She's dead, and she's pissed.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Like when an all female crew actually goes to space
and does the work of going to space and cruise that,
then that's cool, right, That's something to be celebrated, and
you can put that all female label on it. But
if it's just a Disneyland ride for rich people and
then you're publicizing it as a female accomplishment, that's a
that's pretty lame.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Valentina is still alive. Valentina Tereshkova, Ah, she's still around.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Did you have sex with her? Or is that the other.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
One sex with her?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Amy, what have you done? You've started something?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I'm sorry, it just it was again, it was very cool.
I'm sure it was very fun. You could hear them
screaming and yelling.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Very cool and very fun. And that's exactly how it
should be built, not as some sort of accomplishment.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
And then and then Katie came back and they were interviewing,
and she said, I did this because it's going to
change things for.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Every right, is that right?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
How?
Speaker 1 (04:32):
I don't know secret experiment she was doing up there?
That way to know about for three seconds of waitless. Yeah, okay,
it might have been three minutes.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Maybe maybe she was.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I forgot that Valentina was your girlfriend in high school.
Of course you weren't having sex with her. That would
be weird. All right, kids, you should wait. I should
waitate a rush until you're nineteen.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
I didn't date a cosmonaut.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
No, but the girl that you dated, a girl you
dated in high school, was naed Valentina. That's the last
time I remember hearing the name Valentina.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Yes, okay, yeah, it's a good name.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
It's a great name. Are you kidding?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
There's a beautiful hot sauce.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
We should get something and name it Valentina.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
What there's a hot sauce? Really, it has nothing to
do with either my high school girlfriend.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Or was she.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Was she a spicy girl?
Speaker 3 (05:20):
No?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Oh? Really?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Kind of boring? Oh yeah, wow, I'm.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Just saying, is that why you didn't have sex with her?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Among other things? Yes, that's awful.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
We don't mean any of that. It's okay to be boring.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
We're playing a fun game.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Boring can be sexy.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Uh So, I can't wait to see the long form
interviews of these these people who went to space today.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
The interviews will probably be longer.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I'm not going to watch any Actually, we're not playing
any of them all. No, we're not, absolutely not.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
President Trump is a hosted the President of Al Salvador
at the White House today and they're doing I don't
know if you've noticed all of the gold appointments that
have now been added to the Oval Office.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
It really gaudy.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Oh they they got a shine of gold paint, didn't they. Yeah,
this is like whoever does the helmets for Notre Dame
football in the off season. They got pulled into the
Oval Office to touch up the paint.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Look, you can see that the table has.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
All very fresh gold paint.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
All of the giant, hugely ornate frames around the pictures
those are all gold now as well.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Yeah, that's an odd It's just an odd look.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
That's like what Trump's house is like, though exactly he's
do it.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
He gets to call the shots on that.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
It's very nineteen eighties Miami Vice esque kind of aesthetic. Hey,
the giants are off to their best art since two
thousand and three?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Do you know that?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I do know that.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I don't bring it up because you get mad at
me when I say things like, if your third place
Dodgers are taking on the Rock.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Tonight April, it's April.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I also know that.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I thought I'd give you a win while you can
take it.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
The Dodgers don't play the Giants until June. Until mid June.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
That's weird, right, it's stupid.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I don't like that schedule. There's got to be a
way to adjust that.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You know, you should go up there and see a game.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
I've been reading about this new mayor of San Francisco
kind of doing things right.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
He's turning things around.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
The vibe is different, vibe the way they're super different,
and he is trying to be their poster boy.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
And I thought for the first time after reading a
lengthy piece about him. The last time we talked about him,
it was crimes down in San Francisco a lot, And
then I read this piece about him, and I'm thinking,
maybe I should go back to San Francis see what
a difference can make in terms of tourism and tax dollars.
Somebody who's just like, you know, we're not going to
(07:51):
put up with this. We're not going to have needles
in the street, We're not going to make this okay.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Anymore.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
You're not going to give out. You can't do that,
and you can't poop there. Yeah huh. Anyway, the Dodgers
take on the Rockies to night Dodger Stadium, first pitch
at seven. Listen to every play on AM five seventy
LA Sports Live from the Gallupin Motors Broadcast Booth, and
stream all games in HD on the iHeartRadio app Keyword
AM five seventy LA Sports.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Look at that tonight, by the way, is the Hello
Kitty Squish Plush.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Oh, it's gonna be a freaking madhouse.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Hey, look at that all that money we have, oh,
just sitting around. Yeah, we're going to give that away
when we come back.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
All right, we'll do so, Gary and Channon, we'll continue.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Forty man accused of setting fire to Josh Shapiro's home
while he and his family were sleeping.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
How terrifying.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Shapiro Is wife Lori, their four children, two dogs, and
another family forced to evacuate. This happened early yesterday morning.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
This was Governor Josh Shapiro explaining it to the News
Comperence after later yesterday.
Speaker 7 (09:01):
At approximately two o'clock in the morning, while my family
and I were asleep upstairs here at the Governor's residence,
one of the state troopers assigned to our detail banged
on our door, woke us up and told us we
had an emergency and needed to leave immediately. Together, we
(09:23):
secured all of our children, our two dogs, our family
that was staying with us, and the troopers safely evacuated
us from the Governor's residence.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Thirty eight year old guy named Cody Balmer turned himself
into police, being held on charges of attempted murder, aggravated arson,
and terrorism, among other things, in connection with this fire.
Here's what we know. There are more questions in my
mind than there are our answers as to exactly what happened.
But they said that this guy was able to hop
(09:55):
the fence that surrounds the Harrisburg residence, the Harrisburg Governor's mansion. There,
he broke a couple of windows with a hammer. He
climbed in through one of them to get into the home,
where he threw in a couple of Molotov cocktails he
had made by siphoning gas out of a lawnmower, and
putting it into Heineken bottles to start the fire. He
(10:17):
was inside the governor's residence, they said, for less than
one minute, and was actively evading state troopers who were
looking for him at the time. He was able to
kick the dining room door down and leave, and they
didn't even get him when he was there. It was
later that I think his girlfriend or an ex girlfriend, yeah,
(10:38):
called the cops to say that her ex boyfriend admitted
that this was his doing.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Cody Palmer, thirty eight bomber admitted to harboring hatred towards Shapiro,
said if Shapiro had found him inside his home, he
would have beaten the governor with his hammer.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
A couple of questions. I know that this is not
the president and the Secret Service guarding him, but every
state governor has a security detail. Were Is there no
burglar alarm intrusions?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Is there like simply safe? Is there no smoke? Is
there no home alarm system?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I mean, what are we doing?
Speaker 4 (11:19):
It's just an odd It's very odd. I mean, thankfully
he was able to get out. He he and the family,
like he said, and the dogs, et cetera.
Speaker 7 (11:28):
We don't know the person's specific motive yet. But we
do know a few truths. First, this type of violence
is not okay.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Who is this? That's the governor.
Speaker 7 (11:45):
This kind of violence is becoming far too common in
our society, and I don't give a damn if it's
coming from one particular side or the other. Directed it
one particular party or another, one particular person or another.
It is not okay.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
And it has to stop.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
This isn't just this is mental illness. You don't bust
into the governor's home and want to beat him with
a hammer because of just simple crime rates.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
This is when they got this guy and it turns
out that this is what he was there to do.
It completely reminded me of the guy that went after
Nancy Pelosi and ended up hitting.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Although I still think that there's something, No, there's not.
He had a cocktail in his hand. Who did husband?
So that ice in it?
Speaker 3 (12:34):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
You don't have.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
A tumbler if somebody has broken into your home to
kill you, even if it was even if that person
demanded a glass of water, you don't put ice in it.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
The fact that he has and what ice, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
He's just trying to be nice you don't want to
make the guy even more mad by not putting ice
in them.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
What kind of intruder says and put ice in it.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
It just it's someone who's crazy, said, we already established
this is this is the work of mental illness.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
I got in trouble, by the way at the time
for saying that there was something amiss there.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
I know, I remember.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I still believe there's something amiss that house.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
I looked it up. Built in nineteen sixty eight. The
Governor's the mansion there that they used in Harrisburg. I
don't know why I spent that much time even bothering
to look. It's a twenty nine thousand square foot house,
but most of the bottom floor is like ceremonial.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
It's like twenty times the size of my house. Yeah,
it's a big, a big, big bird. That is a
big bird.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
So anyway, good news is that they got the guy.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
The house itself had some pretty significant damage, but for
the most part, everybody else got out safely.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
They'll be reviewing security detail around the governor.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
You ever play red Light Green Light at Calskate?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Yeah, wow, ouch, I know head, I know it's a
real humbler, isn't it? Elizabeth Warren s as the president
is playing red light green light with the tariffs. We've
got exemptions on tech that seem to be temporary. What
you should know when we return.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 6 (14:21):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
If this wasn't so embarrassing, it would be pure comedy.
But the women who paid a bunch of money to
go to space for eleven minutes but are now calling
themselves astronauts and a crew are holding a press conference.
They're all in hot form fitting waste giving space suits.
They've had a glam squad there picture Real Housewives reunion
(14:50):
right like that kind of glam squad situation, but in
hot spacesuits like Barbie spacesuits. And they're talking about overcoming
adversity to have gone on this flight. Gail King actually
just said, guys, she just said something to the effect
of it hurts. At one point she felt pain, and
she said, now I feel like it can overcome anything.
(15:12):
I'm going to go get my ears pierced. Now I've
always been afraid because that hurts. Like this is a
true story. This is happening live right now. And I
and like you said, Amy, I just remembered the word
you said to me as I was walking down the hall. Embarrassing.
That's exactly right. It's embarrassing. I'm embarrassed the fact that
they're fielding questions, no irony whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
This is not a joke.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
They think that they're astronauts, that they that they that
they did real work today in the space program. Like
it's really freaking embarrassing. It's like rich people with their
head in the stands saying excuse me.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Compounded by this this.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Woman power thing that is unearned. There is unearned. That
that I think is the is the worst part about it.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
I'm saying this as a guy in normal on thin
ice here, but stop asking about feelings and emotions about
what happened. And that's a I mean, it's it's a
it's a I think it's Clarissa Thompson, Carrissa Thompson sports
reporter who's asking these these six women about their their
(16:29):
time and it's not I mean, listen, they weren't.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Up there.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Because it wasn't technically they were writing this thing.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
But they're acting, they're answering these emotions, feelings, questions like
it's technical.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Yeah, they're answering like it was Apollo thirteen and they
weren't sure they were going to come back.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yes, yes, that's why. That's why it's embarrassing.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Amy it was because I listen, it takes giant ovaries
or balls.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I don't care to do what they did. And there are.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Women in NASA right now who are doing the real thing.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
So who are Sonny Williams, who, like you said, just
came off of this International Space Station because she was
up there for nine months when she was only supposed
to be up there for nine days. Where is she
crushing popcorn right now watching these ladies and just laughing
at them like all sisters, you have no you have
no clue.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
It's such a farce. It's so embarrassing. And the fact
that they're given any sort of platform, like it's a
cool thing they did. They should take pictures, they should
be in their hot space suits and in post post away.
But like the idea that this is being held up
is a real space mission is embarrassing for the whole country.
(17:42):
My god, who throw do we celebrate celebrity this much?
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Yes, that's embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
And don't forget.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
I mean, there's one major aspect of this that you
can't ignore. They chose Katy Perry, they chose Gail King.
Jeff Bezos chose his fiancee to be on this, and
he's the one who's you know, who's bankrolling this whole thing.
It's not a giant leap forward for womenkind. It's not
(18:11):
a giant leap forward for the space race. It's not
a giant leap forward for anything other than Jeff Bezos
marketing his company.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
If I have a little girl and she's watching this,
and she looks at this and she goes, I want
to be one of these women, I'm thinking, yes, that
is an avenue.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Get rich, get work done, get all the diets.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Make sure you compare this.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
But you could also look at Gary's daughter, who is
a grad student, a biochemistry grad student on a full ride,
and you can get there that way too. And what's
more rewarding making your lipstick match your space suit or
knowing you did the work at the end of the day.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
I mean the unseriousness of Lord Katy Perry holding a
little flower the entire time she was there.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
It was for her daughter, Okay. Her shot name is Daisy.
It is stop it, Daisy.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
I'm worried.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
You can grow up in any environment, the row, through
the cracks in concrete.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Stop it.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
They can survive and they can thrive.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Guess what, Katy Perry's daughter never has to worry about
living in concrete. Good lord, are you freaking serious, Amy King?
I did not have Amy King pissing me off for
the entire day on my Bengo card this morning.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Not you personally look.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
At her face.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
No, don't be upset.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Amy's got a good foot on you, so be careful.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Oh my goodness, Amy King knows where the trigger is.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
So the other actual news that's going on over the
weekend has been this on again, off again discussion of
tariffs and what in the world is going on.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
We should ask Katy Perry, Gail King what to do.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
The Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik says the decision on Friday
to exempt electronic devices think iPhones, other smartphones, laptops and
things like that from tariffs is only temporary and those
products will still face separate levees. So we have tariffs,
(20:25):
then we don't have tariffs, and then we have some
tariffs but not all tariffs. And somewhere someone in the
White House is describing this as a master plan that
is playing out exactly the way they want it to.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Why don't we know what that master plan is?
Speaker 4 (20:42):
And why does it feel like this is seat of
the paints work every single day.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I don't think there is a master port can't be.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I mean, when you are negotiating a deal, there's going
to be a lot of what's the word, I'm looking variables.
There's gonna be a lot of variables. So you've got
to kind of constantly pivot and adjust your stance.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Right, That's what's happening.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
There is no massive road plan map of what's going on,
no roadmap of what they're doing, because you've got to
constantly pivot based on the responses you're getting. I mean,
that's why you've seen them start and stop. That's you know,
that's why you saw Trump act when he did. Was
it some sort of master plan with manipulating the stock market,
(21:26):
as much as that's a fun theory to think about, No,
it was the fact that everyone sold off their bonds
overnight and freaked out.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
He did, right, did President Trump? On truth? Social Nobody's
getting off the hook. He said, there was no tariff
exception announced on Friday. These products, specifically those tech products,
are subject to the existing twenty percent fentanyl tariffs, and
they are just moving to a different tariff bucket.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
The fake news knows this but refuses to report it.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
The thing is, he's got to understand that, even if
he wants to claim that the news media is out
to get him, they've got to go out of their
way to make this as easy as possible to report
so that it doesn't appear like it is just a
seat of the pants kind of policy that's coming left
and right. Noticed from the US Customs Import of Protection
(22:17):
exempted the electronic products from that one hundred and forty
five percent tariff on Chinese goods, and while China has
said they're not going to back down, they've also said
it does not look like they will increase tariffs on
the United States higher than the one hundred and twenty
five percent right now. Kevin Hassett is the National Economic
(22:37):
Council Director. He said that one hundred and thirty countries
now are negotiating teriffs with the United States after the
ninety day pause that we saw last week, So there
is some progress. It does not seem like it's a
completely ironed out It's not a smooth process, but it
is a process.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Nonetheless, Gary and Shannon will continue full body MRIs. This
is a big thing. Celebrities are making this a big thing,
aren't they? Get the full bardy arm MRI if you
can afford it. See what's percolating under your skin there. Well,
there's some research that says it could save your life or.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
It could ruin it.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
There is a little bit of a find my friend's
analogy to be made with this stuff.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Okay, I'll do that.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Well as somebody who tracks people the way you track everybody.
Not me.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I am tracked by no one.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
You don't know that.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
I'm not hard to figure out.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
That's true. Very little mystery there.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Mostly a positive day on Wall Street led by tech stocks.
Of course, we were talking earlier about the tariffs that
had been imposed and then exempted some. The President exempted
some technologies from from the So you've got phones and
laptops and things like that made in China that will
not be charged the same one hundred and forty five
(24:06):
percent tariff as other items.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Wall Street is responding major averages opened higher, shifted lower.
I've rose back up in today's session after the exemptions announcement.
They are not permanent according to the Commerce Secretary, but
at last check that dow was up. Oh, I don't
know two hundred points or so.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Naib Bukele, I think is how you say his name is?
Speaker 4 (24:28):
The President of Al Salvador calls himself the world's coolest
dictator is visiting with President Trump at the White House today.
When we get into Swamp Watch, we'll talk a little
bit more about what they said in this sort of
informal Oval office meeting they had, including the discussion over
the wrongly deported guy from Maryland who ended up in
that prison in l Salvador, and whether or not President
(24:50):
Bukeley is going to help us get him back despite
or because of what the courts had ordered.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Full body MRIs sans require just an hour to image
you from head to toe. You're hearing a lot about
these on social media from celebrities and influencers who hold
them up as a pillar of preventative health to catch
problems early on whatever they're hiding before they become hard.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
To treat diseases.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Dwayne Wade, for example, recently credited a whole body MRI
with alerting him to an early stage kidney cancer.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
These things can be pretty expensive, I mean two three
thousand dollars depending on where you get it.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
There is.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Still some some downside to this for some people. I mean,
on the one hand, you look at it as a
sort of the future of science because it has these
MRIs now have the ability to see things that you
might not even feel yet. Think of, you know, the
more dire version of something like a tumor that's growing
(26:02):
on your kidney's weighing weight as a great example, But
you hadn't seen any of the symptoms yet. Which is
an even better time to be able to treat something
like that, is before it starts wreaking havoc on your body.
One of them aneurysms cancers. One of the doctors says,
we can find stage one cancers before any symptoms appear.
(26:24):
So and as the technology advances, it becomes faster, it
becomes more accurate. It can detect diseases in even earlier stages.
But what do you do then with that information and
some of that is the conundrum that exists here the drawbacks.
(26:46):
If you don't have any symptoms, you don't have any
unique risks, like some sort of a disorder that makes
you more vulnerable to disease or something like that, you
run the risk I think of knowing too much about
what's going on inside your path, going.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Too much, giving yourself unnecessary worries and unnecessary procedures. I mean,
I think that there's a lot of emphasis on treating
every single little thing for some people. Well, here's an
anecdote that Time magazine pointed out Calvin's son. Calvin is
(27:24):
a healthy thirty seven year old. A full body MRI
scan showed assist in his sydney a kidney excuse me,
sun saw aurologist who was optimistic it wasn't cancerous, offered
him a surgery appointment several weeks away to inspect the
kidney and operate if necessary.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Calvin, by the way, is an er doctor.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
He knows what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
He knows what he's doing well. He had no family
history of cancer. This was a guy who exercised at
a plant based diet, super healthy.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
The cyst he thought would mean nothing, but even so he.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Persuaded his doctors to check it out to expedite surgery
to avoid spending months doing and ruminating about worst case scenarios.
His care team prepared to potentially remove a small part
of his right kidney as a precautionary measure. Every expectation
was that it would be benign. He wakes up five
hours later and learns the kidney was completely gone. The
(28:26):
surgeons removed it because they thought the surface looked malignant.
He has no complications from surgery. He's thirty seven and healthy,
but older people tend to be less predicted due to
age related changes. Unnecessary surgeries could cause serious consequences. Every endoscopy, biopsy,
surgical procedure.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
There are risks that come with that just on its
face that could be life threatening.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
They also that discussion of okay, so about fifteen to
thirty percent of these whole body MRIs do show something
that would be of concern. The question is then what
do you do with it? Even if it does show
something growing on your kidney for example, that's not supposed
to be there. Does that thing then, I mean, they
(29:16):
have no idea how fast that's going to grow, whether
it's malignant, if it is going to ever have an
impact on your health. But taking a kidney out of
your body automatically puts you in a position where your
health is you know, not what it was.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I was talking to a doctor my mom going through
pancreatic cancer stuff, and the doctor said, well, there's spots
on the pancreas, but you and I have spots on
our pancreas. Okay, Well, you don't know if there's a
problematic unless you biopsy them. Right, Well, going through a
biopsy is not going through a walk in the freaking park.
There's a lot that goes on with that, and that's
(29:50):
exactly what we're talking about here.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
And if you know, so, use that doctor as an example.
He's thirty seven, Is that what you said? So he's
thirty seven years old. What if he he lives another
fifteen years and has zero symptoms, there are zero problems
with whatever's going on on his kidney, and he lives
his life normally and healthy, and he's happy, and he
(30:12):
does all the things that he wants to do. And
then at the age of sixty two, he then realizes,
I guess it would be fifty two. He realizes that
something is wrong and he needs to go in for
treatment to get it taken care of.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Whatever.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
The knowledge of having that, you know, when he was
thirty seven doesn't necessarily change the mortality or his outlook
on life at fifty two when something did come up
that and I mean you're going through it right now.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
We went through it with my parents.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
This measuring of treatment versus life, like what quality of life?
Where it was somebody going to have If my mom,
for example, if she had to go through another round
of chemotherapy, it would have just been awful. I mean,
that's an awful thing to do to the body if
you're not strong enough to take it. And that kind
(31:04):
of mentality of figuring out where, how you want to know,
how much you want to know about what's going on,
that's the whole Find my friends.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
What's the word analogy that I was going for.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
Yeah, you follow everybody, and I mean kids like to
anybody between the age of fifteen and twenty eight right
now follows dozens of people probably with their phones. They
follow friends, they follow ex boyfriends, whatever.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Got what an awful world?
Speaker 4 (31:31):
But then you know when they're somewhere they're not supposed
to be, but let them Yes, yes, Mel Robbins.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
I agree, but that's harder.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
My friends Bone and some other girl let him.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
But that's harder to do. That's harder to do than
it sounds.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
It's harder sometimes to let that information go when you've
got the information.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
And that's why they talk about these full body MRI.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Scans And you can put me down tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Mental health content sequences tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Or this afternoon. Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
We're gonna need a syringe.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
I'm gonna have lunch first because because that sounds good.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
There were more naked people at Disneyland this weekend than
there were a Coachella did you Did you know that?
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Uh no, but I didn't know. Coachella was still a thing.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
It was very hot over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
It wasn't Bertie and which means it was not hot.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
So this is Jump the Shark is on Gary and Shannon.
We'll talk about Coachella when we come back right after this.
