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.

Eight year old Shannon Farren.

No, I didn't get it.

Oh, you didn't get it in you just thought the volleyball season meant a scene meant nothing to me.

I see, okay, But I knew about competition.

I felt the competition right.

Wait, so you were in it from a sports fan perspective.

Yeah, you looked at that.

And thought, oh wow, they're in good shape and it looks like they're trying hard.

I was like, who's going to win this Who's going to win this match?

That's what I was thinking.

Is it gonna be Goose?

Is it gonna be Iceman?

Or they plan on the same team?

What's happening?

And you didn't have any concept of its potential implications whatsoever.

No, I just knew in my heart that it was going to be a big thing in my life, Top Gun.

And it was the movie.

It spanned the uh uh, it spanned the decades and the decades.

Were you a fan of the new one as well?

Yeah?

I mean only because if you're a fan of the old one, you're a fan of the nostalgia.

They bring Val Kilmer back.

He's almost you know, no longer with us.

I know, the whole bit the sun.

I enjoyed it.

Yeah.

In fact, you know what, that's worth another watch?

We should we should we bail on the show and just go watch Top Gun now.

I would love that.

Let's do it, sorry everybody.

Yeah, yeah, what a bonding experience that would be.

It's always a good day when you watch Top Gun.

Oh right, and then we can follow it up with Maverick.

We can make the whole day of.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's perfect.

Do we get to have popcorn?

Yeah?

What not?

Just put it on the company card?

We all have one, right, right, Well it's popcorn.

It's like two dollars.

You know.

Does it make it too if you make it at home?

Oh?

Okay, we're not going, right, We're not going to a theater because it's not playing.

And yeah, they don't show that's the biggest TV's a that's a fun game.

It's not me.

I can guarantee you.

I think I have a seventy five inch which is a pretty big team.

Got me there, Yeah, I know, I know.

Going to Andy's y'all.

It looks ridiculous in my living room, I.

Bet all they all do when they're that big.

But also, who cares, it's amazing.

Yeah, it's like I was.

I got it home, you know.

I ordered it during the pandemic, and it came to the house and I couldn't fit it through the front door.

I had to take it out of the box outside and lift it into the you know, I had to have another guy kind of lifted and it was it was.

It was really ridiculous, and I was like, oh, I fully embraced my bachelor a pandemics style.

There are some things I can't watch on a screen that big because it feels two decadent.

It feels too much.

You know, like if I'm going to watch, you know, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, I can't watch it on the big screen.

It feels too much.

Yeah, Like the editing is too fast.

No, it's just it's it's it's too it's uh, it's just it's too what's.

The word I'm looking for?

Yes, thank you, bingo to grandiose.

I have to watch it on my iPad.

Yeah, you know, a smaller venue for that kind of thing.

If it's you know, Avatar or a blockbuster or a football game.

Yes, the big screen, but not everything is meant for the big screen.

Some things can only be featured on the smallest screen.

Yeah, it needs to be on like an iPad in a case with smudge marks all over the flo next to you, just as just as dirty.

As the context I'm speaking of that.

I have a couple things to bring up to you that have transpired since we last met.

Number one, the whole sleeping naked thing.

Okay, first of all, I nearly froze to.

Death last night.

I thought that lazy.

I went home and I tried well, I mean, not totally naked, but close.

And that woman who on the talk back.

And she's like the way the sheets feel and the blah blah blah and the YadA, and I was like, that's so nice.

I'm gonna do this.

I'm gonna do this.

I was freezing.

I woke up in the middle of the night like hypothermia in wondering like what's happening?

And it was awful, And I thought, maybe just just sleep through it.

You know, everyone's cold, everyone's probably cold, Shannon, just sleep through it.

Maybe maybe you know, don't leave before the miracle begins or whatever those people say, right, and the Colts wait for the mirror to happen.

So I'm waiting for the miracle to happen, and it's not happening.

So finally, at three am, I grabbed some sweats and I throw those on and went into a deep, nice slumber.

You know, but that whole sleep.

And here's the thing.

I also thought I had hypothermia because I read somewhere that when you have hypothermia, you have to pee, and I had to pee like crazy, like crazy.

You think this is all because you were just not sleeping with the shirt on.

I don't know, I don't know, but I looked at the thermostat it was fifty five degrees.

In my house.

Okay, well that's.

So then I'm like, what the hell am I doing?

This is just malpracticing life.

Yeah, yea, yeah, you can't.

You can't use that as a show.

Would do anything naked in fifty five degrees?

Like, what are we doing here, let alone trying to have a nice slumber?

That fifty five inside is very cool?

It was ridiculous.

That's like, I don't think i've seen that number on my on my thermostat.

This is why I sleep fully clothed.

Probably do you now normally have your house at that temperature?

I don't know what led I don't know what led to this.

It'll be probably a conversation.

Although whenever you have a conversation about the thermost dad in your marriage, you know it's never It's never going to So it's like, how much do I really care about this?

Not a lot, really is the answer.

So I'll just put on clothes.

So wait, does your husband said it fifty five?

I have no idea how it gets to be that temperature.

Again, I don't want to embark on that conversation because it doesn't matter.

That's even cold for like dads, you know, dads like to set the thermostat load like that's cold.

Fully clothed in the wind outside, it's like put a jacket on the Other thing I wanted to get into was you mentioned euphoria yesterday?

Yes, I watched two episodes season one.

Oh my gosh.

So I'm doing the math because it's been a weird thing for me, wondering where did men run a foul?

Like?

Why does everyone hate men?

In the Year of Our Lord twenty twenty six and then I watched two episodes of Euphoria and I'm like, bingo's it.

This thing was hot what six years ago?

Boys are awful in this terrible.

I mean they are the worst.

Yeah, And I'm like, there's a whole generation that thought they watched Euphoria because it's hit show, and they thought this is what men are.

Of course they all hate them.

Now, Oh wow, that's so fascinating.

I did not have that.

I didn't have that perspective when I watched it.

But you're absolutely right.

And maybe it's because I already like, as a self hating man, it was like, oh, this is normal, this is what it normally is.

No, I feel like that's a really good point, and I wonder how much of that is internalized of that generation.

Yeah, anyway, we'll get into that as we get on.

Well, I just want to say, like, I think that that show there's something weird about it.

Definitely does romanticize drug use.

Oh yeah, which I know it's supposed to show the ills and the scary thing of it.

But if you're a kid, you're.

Like, dang, she's so cool.

I know, I know it's not good, and my kids would get nowhere near that show.

Okay, when we come back.

There was a lot of unrest, and that's putting it lightly.

In Minneapolis, a law enforcement and demonstrators going after it.

A federal agent shot and kills a man after he comes at them with a snowshovel in a broom handle.

What the what?

Now we're talking about Insurrection Act.

Now we're talking about US troops to Minnesota.

We will have a guest on to talk about the likelihood of that when we return it.

You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM six forty.

Andy Reesemeyer in today.

Gary will be back Monday.

Always.

Thank you to Andy for stepping in and happy to be here.

I hope Gary right now is pitching real good.

Hope he's catching as good as he's pitching.

Yeah, I hope his knees are holding up.

Oh yeah, Well, the President has warned he may invoke the good Old Insurrection Act, the centuries old law, to deploy US troops to Minnesota.

As yet, things got ratcheted up again last night.

Federal agent shooting and injuring a man during the struggle.

They say that two people came out of a nearby apartment attack the officer with a snowshovel and a broom handle.

That's how it goes in Minneapolis.

Right after the suspect got loose and joined the attack, the officer fire defensive shots, striking the man in the leg.

Joining us now is Julia Manchester.

She's a reporter at the Hill and Julia, good morning.

Good morning.

Thank you for having me.

Of course, Now where do we stand with this Insurrection Act threat?

Well, look, this is a threat that President Trump really first raised today on truth Social He said he'd be willing and ready to invoke the Insurrection Act, which is an eighteen oh seven law which essentially says the president of the United States has the power to deploy troops, whether National Guard or active duty troops, to an area of the United States to quell unrest or some kind of rebellion.

Now, this isn't the first time President Trump has threatened to use it.

Back in October, when President Trump was deploying National Guards troops to a number of cities or he was in the midst of it, he said he had he would have had the right to invoke the Insurrection Act if court struck down his ability to deploy the National Guard to bring down crime rates.

So right now it's a threat.

Christinome, the Department of Homeland Security secretary, was at the White House earlier today talking about this, essentially saying that this is something punting this back to the President saying this is something that you know is ultimately up to him that she support him.

But that's where we stand right now.

So what exactly would that mean if the Insurrection Act is deployed, because as we know, it hasn't been used in America since nineteen ninety two here in Los Angeles during the riots, but we've had occupations even through COVID of National Guard troops in American cities.

From my understanding, the difference is that the Insurrection Act would also include or could include active military troops, so you know, members of other branches of the military, not just the National Guard.

And the intent of the Insurrection Act is to quell rebellion or quell civil unrest.

So when you saw the National Guard deployed during COVID, or when you see the National Guard deployed, you know, during hurricanes or earthquakes, but have you that's you know, to aid you know, the communities that are impacted and to you know, kind of lend a helping hand and safety support.

This would be an insurrection act, would be with the purpose of quelling a rebellion.

What does law enforcement in Minneapolis there on the ground think about this?

Has there been any response and when it comes to their jurisdiction and their opinion of we've got this or we need help.

I have not heard anything from Minneapolis law enforcement on this yet.

However, we do know that there's tension between local law enforcement and federal law enforce going back to last week when we saw thirty seven year old any Good was shot us by that federal agent, that ICE agent.

I think the Minneapolis Police Department would say that ICE could be contributing to a lot of these tensions that they're seeing in the city.

We know that the Minneapolis Police Apartment last night said that the protests were an unlawful assembly, that it was getting out of control.

But clearly tension between the federal government and local law enforcement on this.

Julia Manchester, reporter at the Hill, thank you for shedding.

Light on this for us.

We appreciate it.

Thank you.

Yeah, this morning, they're in that North Minneapolis neighborhood.

Everything seems to be back to normal, kids boarding the school buses at the intersections where people got into it with law enforcement just twelve hours before.

Most of the debris on the street has been cleaned up and things seem to be back to normal.

So we'll see what tonight holds when we come back.

There is a new scan when it comes to sports betting.

This time it's college basketball, a shaving points scandal.

For Gary Woo.

You're so happy to have you.

You're welcome for all the help I gave you on that last segment.

By the way, Oh you know what, sometimes I just let the guest handle it.

I was great.

I mean, I listen, I'm sorry, I'm happy to hey, listen, just tell me to shut up.

Oh no, no, no, my god.

No, I was saying legitimately, legitimately, legitimately.

I I meant, well, you're a degenerate gambler.

So I can't wait for you to handle the next segment.

Is it that obvious?

Yes, you can tell.

Look at you with.

This, with this sweater over this button down shirt, this Oxford.

I'm the worst kind.

You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI A six.

Yesterday, we were talking about the astronauts that are going to be grounded unprecedentedly so from the space station because of a medical issue.

Their home.

Amy their home Okay, Amy King is connected to NASA because her ex boyfriend used to work for NASA.

My ex boyfriend.

Colonel you guys are still.

He's a friend of wake up Call.

Let's call it that, Okayer General Colonel Well used to be Colonel Hank.

What do you what's your nickname for him?

I don't have a nickname for him.

Come on, the colonel is a pretty good start in the Colonel Rocket, Rocket's pretty good.

You're embarrassing me.

You know that that one of our friends from the Space Force that arranges all of these actually listens to Sorry, sorry, I forget that.

We're on the rate.

We're not just talking to each other in a room.

I'm sorry, but obviously kidding.

Like Amy's the utmost professional and would never big Booster.

That's good too.

External Tank.

I do like Tank without weird tank.

It could be both good and bad.

I don't know.

Yeah, well we can workshop it.

But anyway, and remember yesterday were talking about how this medical issue right unprecedented and we're trying to figure out what it was.

Andy has a theory what if it's a UTI It could be because and we we we sort of workshop this a little.

Bit in the commercial break, but that would be a situation where because of the gravity UTIs could be or lack of gravity UTIs could be worse in space.

I'm just saying, how is that so?

I don't know, I just said it.

Okay, doesn't it sound.

Sounded like what you were talking about?

Question?

That is a skill?

The gravity thing does weird things to you.

So here's here's a fun fact.

Yeah, I feel like somebody from Pluribus that you don't really get that hungry when you're in space, Like you have to remember to eat because the gravity like puts, you know, it drops the food in your stomach and.

Makes it feel fuller.

That must be why everyone looks so emaciated when we see them.

Yeah, they have to force themselves to eat.

I mean, think about it, all the money they'd save on GLP once.

There's no air one up there.

You know, there's no sound, there's no creation cafe.

I feel poor instantly when you say that.

Oh yeah, well, sorry, we don't work in TV, Shannon, Oh yeah, no, I don't.

I can't afford kidding.

I can't afford to park outside of Arawan.

I was okay, I was at the Gelson's the other day, and the the steak, a regular old steak is fifty five dollars a pound for a New York strip.

You know, you told me that yesterday and I had a dream about a steak.

Oh really, I mean this is I'll post it on my Instagram at andy KTLA.

You took a picture of it.

I took a picture because it was so shocking.

I sent it to my friends, like is this right?

Yeah?

Have I just like been out of the loop.

It must be because I will only buy a steak that's cooked for me in a restaurant.

I don't do the steak at home, but like I do do chicken at home because that's nice and easy and hard to scrup can drive the hell out of it, instill letible.

That has been incredible for a long time.

Now.

You know, chicken thighs, which used to be maybe four or five dollars for six of them, are now like twelve dollars.

It's insane.

What are we doing?

What are we doing here?

But anyway, okay, so we've got a new betting scandal on our hands, this involving college basketball.

Federal prosecutors have announced today charges for twenty men in their roles.

This was a conspiracy.

They're arguing to bribe and manipulate college basketball games, involving at the time active college athletes.

It involved two men who were also indicted for their role in the Big NBA sports gambling scheme that we.

Told you about.

These guys were Busy as well as another guy who was not involved with that one LSU NBA player Antonio and Blakeney.

They say it involved thirty nine college basketball players on more than seventeen teams who would shave points.

It was all about shaving points so that the spread wasn't covered, and they were paid ten to thirty thousand dollars per game.

Now, I don't know how the NIL.

Works in college basketball.

It's if it's as lucrative as it is for players.

Probably not, because I just don't think it's as big as college football is.

But I know that for the fact.

I mean, even if you're getting ten to thirty thousand dollars each game, it's like that's going to add up.

And especially if you're a kid, and maybe you're not.

You know, these are kids who are by the way, at schools like Fordham, will Sal Robert Morris, Southern.

I mean, these are not major.

Players not to do.

These are people who have Nike scholarship, you know, Nike level endorsements or whatever.

Yeah, so I think that you know, that's a really compelling thing for.

Really, and you're not being asked to throw the game.

You're just being asked to keep it under the spread, the spread, which is really really it's a victimless crime if you're a player.

So you think, so, you think as long as you don't get caught.

It began back in twenty twenty two.

Prosecutors say that these two men Fairly and Hananrick who to Blakeney then playing in China for the Jangsu Dragons.

Oh I love the Jangsuit dragon.

Yeah, are you a big fan?

We should get Jangsu Dragons shirts.

Don't you think it could be like our thing?

Now that you're wrapped up with the Chargers, people could ask questions, right, we just kind of say, if you know, you know, you know the Jangsu Dragons, Yes, what's the mascot?

Is it just the dragon?

Again?

Bro?

Well?

But that is that two on the nose like two Chinese?

You said it?

I know, I did, I don't know.

I just I wonder if you're like you said it.

I have a job in that that's right.

I can't get fired.

Please, this is just this is fun for me.

Don't make this not fun for me.

Check the tape, please remove it from the podcast.

No, I just mean, yeah, it's it on the nose that that that's their name and also their Yeah, let me look it up.

Jangs Suite.

Where do you think Jansu Dragons play?

Do you think we could get that on Amazon?

Like?

Could our shirts be here by this afternoon?

Oh?

I mean how quickly do things come from China?

Pretty damn quick.

Well, I'll tell you what.

They just beat the Fly Dragons or they just lost to the Yeah, they beat the fly Dragons one hundred and one hundred and five in the and then and then they got a game coming up at three thirty five am on Saturday.

We got to find a barle go watch it in.

Can we bet on that on prize Picks?

Oh?

I'm sure we can.

Okay, So anyway, this is where this all started.

And uh, then then these two guys would go to a casino in Pennsylvania and then bet on the game.

They don't have shirts on Amazon for the Jangsu Dragons.

Jansu Dragons got a pretty like if this wasn't made by somebody who who was Chinese.

I would consider this to be very racist.

Why just when you look at the logo, Oh really yeah, it looks like it looks like a street fighter character.

Actually, why is that racist?

I don't know, Just something about it just seems like it's far bit from me to have this just because it's two on the note, it seems like it is.

It seems like someone doing a bit like a joke, like if you're gonna write a bad TV show where there was a character or there was a Chinese uh basketball team.

I see what you're saying.

So like what would it be for you know, Indianapolis?

Like what would be the Indianapolis?

Are you saying like we're going with a stereotype?

Oh yeah, like a pork tenderloin, a pork tender loine, a guy with no teeth, and like a couple of cars on the front lawn without wheels.

Right, So that is like not cool because it's because it's apt, it's honest.

Yeah, okay, just dragon logo is pretty cool.

You think it's sick.

I think it's sick, all right, Okay, well then you win.

The jerseys are pretty sweet.

I mean, this dragon looks pretty baller.

Should we get gold jerseys?

Like, there's a gold How do you look in gold?

It's not my color?

I know mine either.

This this this pasty turkey color skin that I have is really it doesn't doesn't do well with gold.

Yeah.

Do they have a blue?

Do they have like a like a don't have a French blue?

They don't know.

Don't they like a Cerulian?

They do not have a Cerullian?

Maybe a navy, No, a heather gray?

M it's like white, orange, yellow and blue.

Okay, well, I think that I would like to go see a game.

You would like to go see it?

Yeah, let's let's see if I can get tickets like a periwinkle blue.

Oh yeah, that'll work, like a little with a little bit of a blue purple.

Let me see if I can customize for you.

Okay, all right, when we come back the Rise of Unk, I live half the year in the NFL world, where Yunk has been embraced for a couple of seasons.

Now, if a player is over twenty seven, he's an UNK on the team.

But now it seems like it's moved out of sports.

Is it already passe?

I don't know.

We'll dig into it.

Gary and Shannon will continue an airy huh?

I feel like Ari was a bachelor?

Was a bachelor?

Oh?

So where did di Carlo come from?

I forget that.

Okay.

I think a lot of guys in TV take maybe not a lot, but this isn't the first time I've heard a guy in TV using his mother's maiden name.

Yeah, no, for sure, and I think that it's I mean, apparently according to this AI search.

I don't know he was a supervisor suggested Henry Hurricane at an early station.

He rejected that he didn't that it's ridiculous.

Yeah, all right, So the rise of unk.

Yeah, this is Jen Alpha's way of saying okay, Boomer, But I think it's.

It's more it's sweeter.

Yeah, It's like unk is a term of back right, where okay boomer is irrogatory or dismissive.

Totally.

Are you at that stage yet where I'm dismissive and derogatory.

No, that you're an unk.

I feel like you are an unk.

You're my thirties.

Definitely, in the football world, you'd be an unk.

Yeah.

You think that they would have that kind of love and respect for me?

No?

No, yeah, they would be like they would actually say okay Boomer to me.

Yes, they'd be like, okay, you do give like Boomer energy.

I have Boomer energy and also.

Scary bad guy in an eighties movie.

But my aesthetic is like evil dude in the eighties movie You don't think so, Maybe.

Oh cool.

Yeah.

I was always told that I couldn't anchor Old Boss because I didn't have gravitas.
