Hey it's Dean Sharp for my

0:02

friends at Aldic Home. You know

0:04

them for their amazing Christmas wonderland

0:06

during the holidays, but this time

0:08

of year Aldic isn't the North

0:10

Pole, it's a vibrant green oasis

0:12

of the very best of spring

0:14

and summer. Gorgeous silk flowers, stunning

0:16

custom designed trees, beautifully curated home

0:18

decor, but Aldic also has my

0:20

favorite outdoor furniture, summer classics. The

0:22

only trouble I ever have with

0:24

Aldic's patio furniture is deciding whether

0:26

it should be on the patio

0:28

or in my living room. It

0:30

is that sexy and it's that comfortable.

0:33

Over 160 fabrics to choose from, it'll

0:35

amaze you that something so soft can

0:37

be so bomb-proof. But that my friend

0:39

is Aldic Home. Are you going to

0:41

find this quality at a big box

0:43

store? No, no way. Summer's

0:46

best moments are spent outside. Spend

0:48

them in comfort and style from

0:50

Aldic Home. Find Aldic on Sepulveda,

0:52

in Van Nuys or on the

0:55

web at aldichome.com. This

1:01

is Gary and Shannon and you're listening

1:03

to KFI AM640, the Gary and Shannon

1:05

show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.

1:08

First seven minutes of the first episode

1:10

is out. The premiere is July 11th.

1:14

I was watching that as I was listening

1:16

to the spin going on at the White

1:18

House and I couldn't tell who was full

1:20

of more baloney. The Real

1:22

White Housewives of Orange County or

1:25

KJP. Well

1:28

let's start Swamp Watch and see what we can get

1:30

into. The swamp is

1:32

horrible. So government doesn't work. Come on

1:34

man. We can make this like a

1:37

reality TV show. Kermit was a bad

1:39

dude. It's always a pleasure to be

1:41

anywhere in Washington DC. Hey

1:43

Joe. Hey Esther. We're in

1:45

town hall to clearly built on a swamp

1:47

and in so many ways still a swamp.

1:50

That's a bunch of malarkey. Somebody said drain

1:52

the swamp. I said oh that's so hokey.

1:54

Keep yapping man. Swamp Watch. You

1:56

know the thing. It's been a whirlwind. This morning

1:58

we found out from the New York Times. people

6:00

who say they will be voting

6:02

for Biden say that he is

6:04

too old to be effective. They say

6:06

on Capitol Hill the anxiety is

6:08

getting worse and worse every day that

6:11

goes by. This is not

6:13

something that is going to diminish

6:15

with the holiday weekend. Because

6:18

like you said, and I think it was a really good

6:20

point, that you're

6:22

welcome. The news cycle is not the

6:25

same news cycle even six years

6:27

ago. We are inundated. We are

6:29

addicted to these little boxes that

6:31

we keep in our pockets. And

6:34

we're inundated with constant

6:36

messaging and constant replays of

6:38

that debate, of other things,

6:40

of governors, of everybody trying

6:42

to be relevant so that

6:44

their name is in the

6:47

running. We're not going

6:49

to just forget about this come Monday.

6:52

It's probably going to be louder.

6:55

Well, I mean, and again, to look

6:57

at what ABC News is going to

6:59

do with this interview, they're going to

7:01

interview him, the president. They're

7:03

not going to show it live. It's their

7:05

prerogative. But they're not going

7:07

to show the whole thing probably until

7:10

Sunday, Sunday morning. Now, I don't know

7:12

who's watching Sunday morning news shows. I

7:14

mean, we kind of

7:16

have an ear on those things simply because

7:18

there's so much politics involved with it. But

7:22

this goes beyond just

7:24

the political dorks

7:27

that listen and consume this stuff

7:29

regularly. This goes to everybody

7:32

being aware of what's

7:34

going on in the White House. You know

7:37

who's remained very quiet, smartly

7:39

so? DJT? DJT. Donald

7:41

Trump, his campaign would

7:43

absolutely love it if Joe Biden stayed

7:45

in the race. He has no public

7:48

events scheduled. And you

7:50

better believe he wants to get out

7:52

there on 4th of July. It's killing

7:54

him. But no public events scheduled.

7:56

A running mate announcement is expected as

7:59

early as next week. next week,

8:01

the RNC follows the week after. They

8:06

obviously want Biden to stay on the

8:08

ticket. This

8:11

is a, well, we'll

8:14

see again, Karine Jean-Pierre is

8:16

handling a lot of questions that should

8:18

be directed towards the campaign, I believe,

8:21

because of they're asking about

8:23

the campaign itself and not his

8:25

effectiveness as president currently. The other

8:27

issue that I think should

8:30

be mentioned is a lot of times

8:32

Hunter Biden is now joining the

8:35

meetings with not campaign

8:37

officials, but with top

8:40

aides in the White House. That

8:43

Hunter Biden, when the president came back

8:45

from Camp David, Hunter has been talking

8:47

to senior White House staff members. He's

8:49

regularly at the White House itself, but

8:52

it's unusual for him to be in

8:54

and around these meetings that his dad

8:56

is having with the team, not the

8:58

campaign. Again, this is the business of

9:00

the country that Hunter Biden has apparently

9:02

been sitting in on. Coming up in

9:04

about an hour from now, we're going

9:07

to go live to Washington to get

9:09

an update on all the goings on

9:11

there. What's going on with Biden's lunch

9:13

with Harris, the governor's meeting, all

9:15

of the anxiety that surrounds the

9:18

debate debacle. Gary and Shannon will continue

9:21

a swamp watch. You're listening

9:23

to Gary and Shannon on demand from

9:25

KFI AM 640. Good

9:27

morning, Gary. Feliz Compleaños,

9:30

Shannon. Now, I got a

9:32

quick question, and this is picking on Gary. According

9:34

to Gary's math, I guess you're getting

9:36

close to retirement now. Are

9:39

you? Maybe. Why is it my math?

9:41

I don't remember that. I think it's because

9:43

you said I was 58. You're

9:46

not. You're 20. So that would be 20. So

9:48

then it would be 59. So I

9:50

would be close to retirement. Oh, in that

9:53

case. Right. Yeah, it's right around the corner.

9:55

Hey, good morning. Gary and Shannon was cracking.

9:58

Hey, just wanted to say all the homies are over

10:00

here in the East side. Love the show.

10:02

We got your back. By

10:05

the way, the homies in the MCC

10:07

and Twin Towers love the show too.

10:09

Yeah. Manon to Saludos. Arrato,

10:12

Gabrielle and Shannon. That

10:15

was amazing. That's great. That just made my day.

10:17

Happy birthday from the Twin Towers. We're

10:21

in the middle of Swamp Watch and talking about what's going

10:23

on in Washington, D.C. We

10:25

talked about coming up, the

10:29

meeting this afternoon with a bunch of

10:32

governors that we're gonna see between, at

10:34

the White House with President Biden. And we've also

10:37

been kind of keeping an ear on this, a

10:39

news conference going on with Corinne Jean-Pierre, the White

10:41

House Press Secretary. There's a CNN

10:44

reporter just asked, has there been

10:47

any other medical appointment, doctor's appointment

10:49

or anything like that since February

10:51

when the president got his annual

10:53

physical? And Corinne Jean-Pierre said

10:55

no. And

10:57

then she was asked,

11:00

well, will you be releasing the

11:03

information? Like you've never released the whole

11:06

release of information from that exam.

11:09

And she said, we're not gonna do that. Well,

11:13

and was there a cognitive test given

11:15

or was it just vitals? I

11:18

just imagine that if you're 80, 81, then- No,

11:22

they don't do that. I mean, that's

11:24

a separate thing. They

11:27

don't do cognitive tests during your physical, even

11:29

at 81. Well, and remember

11:31

February was back at the time when

11:33

Robert Herr came out, the special prosecutor

11:35

in Biden's classified documents case

11:37

when Robert Herr came out and said,

11:41

I wouldn't recommend charges taking this any

11:43

further because Biden is gonna appear to

11:45

a jury as an old man, a

11:48

nice old man with cognitive difficulty. And everyone

11:50

thought that that was him- Everyone thought that

11:52

was ridiculous. Sandbagging him and that

11:55

was a Trump appointee. He

11:57

was being honest. I think we all felt

11:59

that way. watching that debate. I, for the

12:01

first time, and I've heard the joke not

12:03

be a joke about this is elder abuse.

12:05

That's how I felt watching that debate. Yeah.

12:07

Is what do we do? What are we

12:10

forcing this man to do? And what are

12:12

we forcing him to do just to scheduling

12:14

alone? If he's got jet lag 12 days

12:16

after taking a five hour flight, that's

12:19

a problem. We're putting this is health

12:21

in jeopardy. Well, I listen, I'm ashamed.

12:23

I think one of the things that

12:26

we saw Friday that we talked about

12:28

was, okay, now you can't lie about

12:30

it anymore. Now you can't say, Oh,

12:33

those images that show him kind of wandering

12:35

off or staring blankly, those are edited or

12:37

those are not real, or those are cheap

12:40

fakes was the word they kept using. You

12:42

can't lie about it anymore. Right. But

12:44

if you're, if you're literally standing

12:47

at a podium and suggesting 12

12:51

days after the trip that he still

12:53

has jet lag, you're

12:55

not serious, right? You're just, you're not serious.

12:57

We're done being lied to. Yeah. And that's, I

12:59

think that that was part of the, the

13:02

great awakening perhaps on

13:04

Thursday night into Friday was, Oh, wait

13:06

a minute. There is something going on.

13:08

It's going to be really interesting. What

13:10

we see coming from the governors that

13:13

are at the white house in terms

13:15

of what they come out with on

13:17

social media, what their official statements are.

13:20

You don't circle the wagons like this for nothing.

13:22

Again, this wasn't a meeting that was planned. This

13:24

was a meeting of, we all have to get

13:26

to the white house and see what's going on.

13:29

Yeah. And I wonder if it's just going to

13:31

be a, here's a,

13:33

here's a cardstock thing

13:35

of talking points for you to recite

13:37

every time somebody asks you about the

13:39

president and you just say

13:41

being a good Democrat, he's fine. He's in

13:43

it for the long haul and we stand

13:46

beside him. What the

13:48

concerns circle around in that

13:50

debate performance were not him

13:52

misspeaking, not him not

13:54

knowing the, the facts or the, the

13:57

figures or, or what planning

26:00

to sign a standard NBA roster

26:02

contract with multiple guaranteed seasons. Three

26:04

men are in custody for the

26:06

death of a 68-year-old tourist from

26:08

New Zealand who was run over

26:10

and killed during an attempted robbery,

26:12

armed robbery, at Fashion Island. All

26:15

young men from L.A. County. Police say

26:17

that two men, one armed with a

26:19

handgun, approached Patricia McKay and her husband

26:21

as they were walking outside Barnes and

26:23

Noble about 3.30 in

26:26

the middle of the afternoon yesterday. A

26:28

struggle ensued at some point. The woman was

26:30

dragged into a parking lot street and run

26:32

over by a white Camry driven by a

26:34

third person. Floodwaters in Minnesota

26:37

carved a path around a dam

26:39

early last week. We told you

26:41

about that, causing severe erosion to the

26:43

riverbank nearby. And a few days after

26:45

that, some intense rain damaged a dam

26:48

in Texas. 90,000 significant dams in the

26:50

United States, more than 4,000 of

26:52

them considered in poor

26:54

or unsatisfactory condition could either kill

26:57

people or harm the environment if they

26:59

fail. Bring in the beavers. You

27:01

gotta bring in the beavers and sprinkle

27:03

them around all the nation's dams. I

27:05

know you think you get a free

27:07

pass on your birthday, but the boss

27:10

is still here. No beaver talk. The

27:14

man's pen name for a thousand dollars. A

27:17

ripping storyteller, he covered a history

27:19

of New York in 1809 under

27:22

the nickname or under the name,

27:25

excuse me, D-Drick Knickerbocker.

27:32

Ripping. Something

27:35

about ripping. Like maybe like a rip van.

27:38

Winkle. Rudyard Kipling. Washington

27:41

Irving. Nope. Yeah.

27:44

That was a no for me as well. Nope.

27:46

It's time for terror in the skies. B Enough

28:00

is enough! I have

28:02

had it with these monkey fighting

28:05

snakes on this Monday to Friday

28:07

place! It's Gary and Shannon's Terror

28:09

in the Skies on KFI. So

28:12

my husband listens to the news in

28:14

the morning in the kitchen on the

28:16

Mamexa, and I overheard this story and

28:18

go, what was that story about the

28:20

spoiled food? And

28:22

he says, oh, it was a flight that

28:25

was diverted because people were

28:27

served spoiled food. And I said, it's

28:29

an airplane. Since when is the food

28:31

not spoiled? Who's had like a great

28:33

meal on an airplane? It's

28:35

all a roll of a dice.

28:37

I went through recently a

28:40

beautiful week in Mexico, never

28:42

concerned about water, food, anything like

28:44

that. I flew

28:46

home and

28:48

felt like whatever happened

28:51

on that plane. Yeah,

28:54

it's a real roll of the dice. And it

28:56

shouldn't have been. It never

28:58

should be, but it is. And they

29:00

pack that stuff with sodium. I mean, it's never a

29:02

good idea to eat on a plane. Bring

29:06

your own stuff. What is it

29:08

that you had that provided you with Peter's

29:10

puppy poo poo? What? What

29:14

did you... It was... I

29:17

had a meal. I'm trying to remember it was

29:19

something I was trying to be good knowing you're not supposed to

29:21

eat on a plane. Yeah. And

29:23

it was something along the lines of a vegetable

29:26

and quinoa, something. Like a

29:28

goulash. No, that's so goulashy.

29:30

More of just like a...

29:33

A mush. One of those

29:35

health bowls. Do

29:39

you realize that right now

29:41

you're doubled over? Yeah, I remember.

29:43

I remember. Yeah, you can't not.

29:45

Did you make it to the

29:47

bathroom? Yes, everything's fine. But

29:49

you didn't go to a public pool after that, did you?

29:51

I had to wait 24 hours. Couple

29:54

days. Couple days. Because every time

29:56

you think you're done, then you're like, well,

29:58

no, clock starts again. Right. That's why you

30:00

look so skinny after that vacation. In

30:02

this case, a Delta flight from

30:05

Detroit to Amsterdam had to be

30:07

diverted to Kennedy Airport today. Passengers

30:09

were served spool food. The

30:12

red I took off from Detroit about

30:14

11 o'clock, Tuesday night, landed at

30:16

New York at 4 a.m. Now, so

30:19

here's my question. If you're

30:21

taking off at 11 o'clock, why

30:24

are you eating anything? I

30:26

know that they still do a beverage service, but an

30:28

11 o'clock flight, if you've ever been on a red

30:30

eye, 90% of the

30:33

people check out. I mean- Yeah, and

30:35

you maybe you'll eat breakfast, right

30:38

before landing or something like that, coffee. They

30:40

only did treat 12 passengers. It's

30:43

not clear how many of the 277 ate the spoiled food when

30:47

Delta said it would investigate on. Was

30:49

it the harvest vegetable and grain bowl

30:51

that you had? Could

30:56

have been. What airline? I'm not gonna

30:58

tell you. Oh, come on. I'm gonna track down

31:01

what gave you the poo poos. Well, I'll tell you in the break,

31:03

but I don't need you to, I don't

31:05

wanna spoil any potential sponsorship opportunities. That's

31:07

right. We're on the air. We

31:10

don't wanna sour an entire airline. And

31:13

it was really my fault. I'm the one- No, wait.

31:16

No, no, I feel like I'm the one.

31:18

Very few things result in you having active

31:20

diarrhea. And that's the key. That to me

31:22

was like, that's part of the reason I

31:24

felt so confident. And maybe my confidence got

31:26

the best of me, but I mean, as-

31:30

Well, as we get older, things don't agree with

31:32

us the same way as they used to. I've

31:34

said before, I have the gut biome of a

31:36

Haitian street dog. You do. And I could eat

31:38

a lot of anything. I've seen it happen. And

31:42

it just finally got the best of me.

31:46

Oh, we're gonna move past this and we're gonna be

31:48

stronger because of it. We will be stronger. And so

31:50

will the plumbing. We'll continue with

31:52

our trending stories. So reminder- Happy lunchtime. What you're

31:54

watching Wednesday is coming up. So let us know

31:56

what you are watching. And also if you finish

31:59

32:01

us know what you thought. If you had some

32:03

thoughts on that season three of the bear. There's

32:05

some mixed reviews. Yeah. Yeah. It's

32:08

okay. All right. You've

32:10

been listening to the Gary and Shannon show. You can always
