Speaker 2: I mentioned as we were getting ready to go to the break there that on Friday we're gonna be live at Bravery Brewing and Lancaster for our next news and Brews kind of dropped the gauntlet, did Menafee because they came out in such force that we want to make sure that we show Lancaster a good time. So yeah, out there, Menafee is going to be hard to beat. But one of the ways we're going to do that is our friend Bart at Bravery Brewing has offered twenty five dollars gift cards for people, and we have a stack that we've been given away and we want to encourage you to use them. You don't have to use them on Friday. It's not just limited to Friday.

Speaker 1: There's that too, right, it's just the morning. It's nine to noon, right, everybody has and you can work from you can work like this is a thing. People bring their laptops to our News and Bruise and they are working remotely.
00:01:18
Speaker 2: You should call it the working remote News and Bruises.
00:01:22
Speaker 1: No, we don't want to. We don't want to highlight the fact that people it is a wink wink not nod thing. You know, they're going to ask us to keep it dout. Could you guys keep it out? I'm on a zoom meeting right now. Well, no, it's just you know, they're they're accessible via email and all of that. Right, the mouse is moving. But let's give away Matt. Did we say two or three? Don't yell? I don't know should we give away two? Right there? I don't think he is three? Three? He said three, yeah, he's yea. Now, callers, we're all yelling.
00:01:55
Speaker 2: Callers four, five and six, four, five and six, one eight hundred and five to zero one five three four callers number four, five and six are all going to pick up twenty five dollars gift cards to Bravery Brewing in Lancaster, the site of Friday's News, and Brus will be out there.
00:02:14
Speaker 1: We'll have a lot of fun, all right. I've been waiting through this article in New York Times about our choices for governor, and it's a feeling that I had yesterday and this is just solidifying it. It's just detritus up there. I mean, everyone's gott an issue. Nobody's really impressive. Nobody's a shining star. Well, I really like Matt Mayhan. He's but he doesn't have the gravitas at this point. To me. He doesn't have any real problems. He's a Democrat, and that's a real problem for Republicans. But I mean, personally, there's no real He's not an a hole, he doesn't seem to be an inflated ego person, he doesn't owe anything to unions. He's an unproblematic candidate. Yeah, everyone else, I mean, but Sarah is just like what, there's no there, there, there's no The only time he showed a pulse was when he yelled at that reporter from KTLA about is this a profile piece or a hit piece. That's the only time I've seen any signs of life with that guy.
00:03:16
Speaker 2: It's funny the way the New York Times, so they put together as this opinion piece who should govern California? And they asked a series of former political activists, civic leaders, political journalists, communications professors, people like that about each of the candidates and the specific issues, and they here's part of the problem. I think is that we need to identify the problems that face the state of California that the governor needs to take head on. The way that they write it up in The New York Times is California is the site of a series of un interlocking problems. It's just too expensive for many people. True, there aren't enough homes, or at least enough affordable ones for whom I would ask. The insurance market is a challenge. Agree, Homelessness is difficult. That's the word they use. Homelessness is difficult. Immigration and customs enforcements splitting up families, well, that's arguable. Federal cuts to universities in healthcare are rampant. Gas and electricity are expensive, water rights are complicated, fire and floods, and the effects of climate change are already savage. Listen, all of these things, even even if they're not one hundred percent true, there is truth in all of them. Now, what has been the main common denominator in the state of California over the last sixteen years? Okay, So if you answered that Democrats have been in control unilaterally unit party, then maybe there's an opportunity for us to mix something up. And even if Matt Mayhan or Antonio Viragosa, arguably the more moderate of the Democrats, even if one of them is elected, they're still dealing with a Democratic legislature that is not going to go along with they're more moderate positions on some of these issues.
00:05:04
Speaker 1: Not all Democrats are evil. You have Matt Mayhan that's providing alternatives to the classic Democrats trope in terms of repealing the gas tax. You have a Democrat and Daniel Luriy in San Francisco that has decided to enforce law and order and suddenly they don't have a homeless problem. So it's not just black or white Democrat or Republican. It's somebody who's going to break party lines and do something different. And even Vieira Gosa sitting here yesterday said it's a mass and Sacramento, it's a bureaucratic jumble of nothing getting done and nothing getting fixed and just getting worse, and something needs to change. It doesn't if you're going to be real about it. A Republican's not going to be elected governor right now in California. Okay, Well, they give me a Democrat that's going to think differently, right, that's the best you can hope for.
00:05:50
Speaker 2: And you've pointed to two Democrats mayor specifically, who are young enough. I know, Daniel Lurry's a little bit older than Matt Man, but they're young enough. They're not caught up in the political machine that is the Democratic Party where have you? They're not bought and sold for Xavier Bessera, Javier Besara and Katie Porter are I mean, Katie Porter is not the darling that she used to be.
00:06:12
Speaker 1: Not a darling. First of all, she she'd be pissed at that. She'd be pissed that you said that. So that's I mean, that's before I get lambasted for saying she's not a darling because she's not pretty enough or whatever. I'm saying that with such vitriol, because she would hate being called a darling by a man, which is part of her problem. Well, I would have said the same thing about Orsara. But I mean she's a local politician. I'm sure she does great locally. That's what she should be doing, right, Tom Steyer, he's I want a pony rich guy. You have no business in the governor's house in Sacramento. Sir, you want this because you can buy it. Cool. Javier Besara is exactly what you were just warning against, bought and sold for by the democratic machine. He's not going to do anything different. Couple of other notes about it. Steve Hilton wrote a piece in The New York Post where he suggested that Chad Bianco stepped down now in order to the assumption would be boost Steve Hilton's numbers going into the primary. It's not a bad design. Not wrong, not wrong. They were. And Chad Bianco's another guy. He's a local guy, and he's exactly who you want to represent you and be a local guy in that part of the state. That's one hundred percent who you want. He's not a government It doesn't translate, it does not, Tom Sdeyer.
00:07:32
Speaker 2: You mentioned, of course that he's out to buy his governor's seat, and he not only has broken the record for self funding in a governor's race, one hundred and ninety two million dollars of his personal money into his own campaign. He spent approximately three hundred and ten thousand dollars on Jane Fonda's Climate Political Action Committee in order to get Jane Fonda's endorsement.
00:07:59
Speaker 1: It's just it's such self. You know. You got to learn from history. It's the Meg Whitman rule. Most recently, you can't buy your way into political power in California. You just can't. You've got to ball wash the unions for a considerable amount of time. You've got to know where the ball ball wash is stored. You know, you've got to have the relationships with the people who make the ball wash to go get it and then to do the actual washing of the ball, not the.
00:08:31
Speaker 2: One that is the green bucket thing with the black handle at the first T. Is that what you're talking about? I think that's what you're talking about. I've never seen that. You've never played golf, I have, I've never washed my balls.
00:08:47
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Have you never what golf courses? I don't know. Apparently you go to the one where you get your balls washed. No, no, you have to do it yourself. Of course you do it's part of the fun.
00:08:57
Speaker 2: Here's it, Amy, Yes, the little brushes in there and the little.
00:09:03
Speaker 1: You dry it off at the towel. I have never washed any of my golf balls. Who's washing your bass? And nobody's ever washed my balls. My balls are never well. I don't know. They haven't need washing. Do you lose them before they get dirt? Self cleaning? Self cleaning, it's not an oven. Let's break.
00:09:22
Speaker 2: Gary Shannon will continue garyan Shannon KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio. Before we get back into local stuff that's going on politically, Let's give you a chance to win one thousand dollars.
00:09:36
Speaker 1: Now is your opportunity to win one thousand dollars.
00:09:40
Speaker 2: Just enter the nationwide keyword on our website cash.
00:09:43
Speaker 1: That's cash c A s H. Enter it now at KIM six forty dot com slash cash. Brought to you by Sweet James Accident Attorney's Office in Los Angeles, California and Sweet James dot com.
00:09:55
Speaker 2: Again, cash is the keyword. Just about an hour from now, we'll give you another chance to win the thousand dollars. Padres beat the Dodgers last night one to nothing.
00:10:04
Speaker 3: Swinging bun throwing the first down the line, Taxis gives Chase Kim on his horse, Tutis juggles, Kim stops.
00:10:15
Speaker 1: Oh no, you know evil stopped him at third. Oh no, uh but uh Tatis has an absolute cannon for an arm. So it would have been a very.
00:10:30
Speaker 2: Close play to play anyway if Dodgers ended up losing, and I don't know if they would say it's a base running error. The other one was a very fun game was the Angels. They were against the A's. The A's pitcher what was his name, jt jt Jin again took a no hitter into the bottom of the ninth inning and then zach netto walk off home run.
00:10:53
Speaker 1: Oh that's Payne, taller field going back as Henry Bilton step it up and a whole run for zach netto wait, that's their call. One walk off win on a and a bust up and no hitter won a gut punch for the Athletics.
00:11:16
Speaker 2: She's the new as play by play, Jennifer, you hit a walk off to bust up and no hitter late in the ninth I gotta have more excitement.
00:11:25
Speaker 1: I gotta feel I gotta feel it more. She was sad. Yeah, I want to feel that sadness. I want to feel it. You want it. It doesn't have to be an e. Now I was watching old highlights of Merton Hanks because why not. It's may thank god. And uh, just just listening to al Michael's calls from like thirty years ago, and my god, he's so good like and then I went down the whole you know, rabbit hole of great calls. And so that's that's why I'm probably more critical because I just did that last night of just like great calls and sports history. But anyway, the mayor's race, now, Nythia Ramen had no chance for me. Ever in this whole deal, I know that she represents the progressive side of things where it seems like places in Los Angeles are moving more towards you know, socialism, things like that, things we've seen be successful in places like New York. But this is the nail in her coffin. The progressives are not backing her. They're backing Karen Bass because they see where their bread is buttered. Three members of the LA City's Progressive Block have endorsed Mayor Karen Bass and favoring her over Nythia Ramen. They're all three members of the Democratic Socialists of America, as is Nythia Ramen. So now she doesn't even have the progressives backing her.
00:12:47
Speaker 2: There is discussion now about who is actually funding Spencer Pratt's run, and Hollywood Reporter came out with this, I don't know if it feels like a gotcha piece or I'm sorry, I don't know if it is a gotcha piece, but it feels like it's trying to be specifically he says, and has said repeatedly, I am a Republican. I did vote for Trump, but all of the supporters I have in LA are Democrats. Everyone I know my family were all Democrats. And when you vote for Spencer on your ballot, I'll say Spencer Pratt or it will say Spencer Pratt Community Advocate, because that's how identifies is. I do not represent a party. I don't have a campaign manager, I don't have campaign consultants. There's no political party backing me.
00:13:29
Speaker 1: Now.
00:13:29
Speaker 2: The Hollywood Reporter then dug in and said, yeah, but you paid sixty thousand dollars to Jane Cutter, who's executive director of America First Coalition. You've got twenty five thousand dollars on tag strategies for campaign consulting the idea. He doesn't have one of those high profile names of people that's alongside him that's telling him what to do. But it does feel like the Hollywood Report is trying to ascribe this sort of he's not as innocent as he made. He's playing the political game because he has to, but he also is playing the political game.
00:14:08
Speaker 1: Did anybody think he was a clean not dirty candidate or somebody who wasn't being funded by someone at some point? I mean, it's not like, yeah, he had definitely a grassroots start in the Palisades, but he's just like everybody else. He needs money to run a campaign, and they all take money from people maybe that they don't always want to take money from. That's politics in America, certainly in especially a high profile position mayor of the city of La. When we were looking for a house, oh now, oh, fourteen years ago, fifteen years ago, I remember there was an address. It was in West LA and the home was for I think six fifty five point fifty six something like that, maybe about six hundred thousand, and I remember thinking West La. Huh pulled up at this house that was on you know, whatever the MLS page was that we're looking at. It was a condemned house, it was not liveable, and it was up for over six hundred thousand dollars. Well, now a home in Torrance has sold for over one million. Same kind of situation, a burned out, dilapidated home. And that's just housing in California. Property fire damage.
00:15:16
Speaker 2: Do not enter or occupy, no interior showing, Oh no no.
00:15:22
Speaker 1: Gary and Shannon will continue. You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kfi AM six forty. But the first part, what is the cost of the match? That's the problem.
00:15:35
Speaker 2: Garyan Shannon kfi AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeart Radio app Today live from the Seller's Advantage Studio. Friday will be live at Bravery Brewing and Lancaster, and we'd love it if you'd come on out and say hi. We're gonna be out there from nine to noon doing the show. Of course, right after that we're going to do the podcast recording for the Weekend Fix that we do every weekend, and we'd love it if you came along and helped us do that, But don't do it for us do it for the beer and pizza.
00:16:04
Speaker 1: Right, Wait too, what what are we asking people to do? Just come hang out with us? Oh yeah, No, it's a great place. You don't have to listen to the show or see us or anything. I mean that backyard alone is just a nice warning. Sun's out, but it's not too hot. It's not the heat of the day. You're enjoying yourself. You're having pizza, you're having a beer at ten thirty. Like what, Yeah, it's summer. Summer now, like what?
00:16:28
Speaker 3: All right?
00:16:28
Speaker 1: So here we go. This is California housing. You want to talk about housing prices in California, this is the case you make. You don't show me somebody eating their own feces on skid row and so we've got a housing problem. No, that's sorry, that does not compute. But this is a little bit of a better indicator of how hard it is to buy a home in California right now. And I thought this way though. I thought this way when I was twenty two as well, like, oh my god, I'm never going to be able to buy a home in California. So it's nothing new that's going on with California housing prices. They've been steep for quite some time. You know, my parents when they bought their home, it was like, you know, they bought their home in late seventies north of San Francisco, before there was a north of San Francisco situation. I mean, it was just kind of expanding. But you know, it's it's it's now reached the point where we are living in the urban no wildland areas. We have sprawled out to where you know you're going to have the fire danger and all that. So anyway, when you have a home that comes up for sale in Torrance which is nicely located, even if it's a dilapidated, burned out house, it's going for over one million dollars. This is ridiculous.
00:17:54
Speaker 2: Multiple real estate websites listed this property in Torrance, and here's the thing. It's listed this way. It's not a surprise once you get there, Like, I guess we can't go in because it's all burned out. This multiple real estate websites quote this property has fire damage, all caps boarded up. Do not enter or occupy property. No interior showings. Photos of the three bedroom house showed one of the rooms with a smoke blackened popcorn ceiling classy and a small kitchen with vinyl flooring darkened by either mold or dirt. Maybe ash eleven hundred square foot home.
00:18:35
Speaker 1: That's the other thing. It's a small home built in fifty five, built in fifty five, and as you can glean from the information damaged in a house fire two years ago, it was snapped up in a heartbeat. One point zero eight million dollars. I don't get it. I just and the question is who's gonna buy it? Right? Who buys it? Who you buy it? For? The location?
00:19:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously, but you start, you're a million buying for the dirt, started buying the dirt. And that's just I mean, it's you know, the corner of Leonora and on Anza Avenue. It is near a school, so uh or is that a school? Maybe that's a school, yeah, Anza Elementary School, so there is, and the middle school is not too far away. If you're a young family and you're looking to live close to school, that's one way to do it. But a million plus a million for the land, another three four hundred, five hundred thousand for the for the building itself. The other acts the thing. One of the things that we have done for a couple of decades now is pushing people into student loans. I've always thought this and I don't know if this plays into it, but the woman who wrote up this article refers to coming from working class families. Put their cell She and her husband put yourself through college with themselves through college with student loans where hers are paid off. He's going to be stuck with him into his late forties, she says, because of the amount that he took out, and that is just devastating when you're trying to build any sort of wealth.
00:20:17
Speaker 1: As well, something common going around on social media is people filming their workouts. Have you seen these? Have you fallen into the algorithm of health? If you have, you've seen the countless videos of people at the gym showing their workouts, the thirst trap workout videos, all of it. Was it. What does that mean? Working out while you're looking hot? Yeah? Exactly, Okay, he nailed it. There are gyms now that are cracking down on that. Put your phone away. What are you doing?
00:20:46
Speaker 2: I love I've seen videos where people clearly are doing it for themselves. Obviously they're working out, Like you said, these thirst trap videos, and somebody else will come along and knock their phone over on Papa.
00:20:57
Speaker 1: Oh, that's great. I saw it the other day. I'm at the gym and I see this dude and he's lifting, but he's not lifting. He's just getting ready to lift. He's got all the accouterments, and he's got his phone propped up to video himself bench pressing. And I just thought, my god. Now on the one hand, on the one hand, I can't wait to hear.
00:21:16
Speaker 2: Your argument for this, Gary and Shannon, we'll continue. Garriott, Shannon Kfi A M six forty live everywhere on the iHeart Radio app.
00:21:26
Speaker 1: I may have misspoken.
00:21:28
Speaker 2: H The A's pitcher had given up a single before Zach Netto's home run, So he wasn't He wasn't the one.
00:21:37
Speaker 1: That broke up the hitter.
00:21:39
Speaker 2: The no hitter was broken up. But then such picture is later or something like that game. Okay, but to go all the way to the ninth inning with a no hitter, it sounded.
00:21:47
Speaker 1: Like in your retail. I don't remember exactly what your words were. The way I took it was it was busted up with the home run. Now, then then I have led many a stray. I'm a bad I'm a bad listener. I feel awful, don't feel off. We don't want that. So anyway, I'm at the gym and this was this was what day was this? I think it was like a doesn't matter, does it? It was like a Sunday afternoon or something, and do you get it? You go to the gym on the weekend. I'm just trying to paint the picture of when it was. It's not like it was five am on you know, I don't know when a downtime is when you're the only person in the gym. Maybe night, okay, then maybe like you set up the camera. You know, there's no shame in your game. You want to get you want to get this on whatever. There's clearly people there is all the picture I was trying to paint is and so there was no like, oh, should I really be filming myself lifting? Like it was none of that, which is fine, Like that's great. I love that you are unapologetic with your documentation of your workout. It's still kind of funny to me when you see a dude be any time you see a dude be vain, it's kind of funny. It's just not it goes against I don't know. I guess dudes can be vain just as much as women can be vain. I guess. Yeah. But that was one instance, and I thought, huh, interesting because I had seen a woman in the and this was in the changing area of the locker room or whatever, taking pictures. Shed just gotten the cupping done, You've had this done, and so she's got the big yeah, and she's taking a picture of the bruises on her back, which I'm like, okay, whatever, and she was admonished, don't take pictures around here, like this is a locker room.
00:23:40
Speaker 2: And it's it's only because I mean someone in the background. Is there's gonna be an odd mirror, you know, reflection that you're not accounting for exactly. Probably, Yeah, I would say that there is, on the one hand, a lot of when a lot of the benefit that you get it from lifting is going to be because you're doing it right, Your posture is right, you're you know, you're you. You have to be set up for it so that you're not taxing the muscles that you're not trying to tax.
00:24:12
Speaker 1: It makes sense.
00:24:13
Speaker 2: So one of the ways you can do that, I guess, to check yourself is by recording yourself and then watching it back.
00:24:21
Speaker 1: Now you know you can feel it when you're doing it right versus when you're doing it wrong. That's what I would say.
00:24:27
Speaker 2: Yes, I've never done that because I think I can feel it if I do it in your head right, if it's up over your head, Tighten your cheeks a little bit, bend your knees kind of thing, keep it, keep your back straight, fold in your your ribs, all that sort of stuff. And if you if you're doing it wrong, you'll feel it or you should feel it right away. Yes, but there are people who probably don't have that body awareness that they want to have.
00:24:58
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know to make excuses for people. I think they just like taking pictures of them working out.
00:25:06
Speaker 2: Well, why do you think there's giant mirrors in every gym in America? Is so that people can stand there. It's all so odd to be. It's supposed to be also for your form like you're supposed to be. If there's windows in windows, mirrors in front of you, you.
00:25:21
Speaker 1: Can check it makes sense.
00:25:22
Speaker 2: I do that, Yeah, off to the side you can check as well, make sure everything sure.
00:25:26
Speaker 1: But that's not what people use those mirrors for the checking them.
00:25:30
Speaker 2: I'm masturbation, So everybody know that's the weird thing, please bro.
00:25:37
Speaker 1: I get it. Like when I'm at home in my garage working out, if there's a mirror down there, but if I find my carnival mirror, I yeah, that's what I tell myself. It's awful lighting. It's overhead fluorescent lighting. It's like worst case hate yourself looking hot. They just they just shut the door on us because this conversation sucks so bad. They're like, we can't have the people in the hallway hearing this. But like it is the hate yourself lighting situation down there. But I'll do that. I'll be like working out or whatever, and I will look to the side to check my form or whatever. But the idea of standing in front of the mirror looking at yourself when you're working out or lifting is bizarre to me. Yeah, I don't want to Also, I don't want to see that, like, no one's trying to see that. I'm not lighting.
00:26:30
Speaker 2: I've noticed that the where I usually work out also in my garage, but the light is behind me. Oh yeah, and I cast a shadow on the garage door. So that's the only way I can check and see if I'm standing up straight or if I'm straightening my arms when.
00:26:46
Speaker 1: I do it. Yeah, I didn't put a mirror. The mirror and actually all of the workout, like the matting and stuff, was all in there when we moved in. The previous owners had put up the mirror and the padding and all that. They were the faith it was up to me, there'd be a no f and mirror down there. Nobody's trying to see that plastic over it. I would think so much more of myself if I didn't have that mirror.
00:27:10
Speaker 2: On Friday, we're gonna be live at Bravery Brewing in Lancaster to help kick off New Year's New Year's Well, to help kick off Memorial Day weekend. We would love it if you come on out.

00:28:09

So yeah, out there, Menafee is going to be hard to beat.

I'm on a zoom meeting right now. Well, no, it's just you know, they're they're accessible via email and all of that. Right, the mouse is moving. But let's give away Matt. Did we say two or three? Don't yell? I don't know should we give away two? Right there? I don't think he is three? Three? He said three, yeah, he's yea. Now, callers, we're all yelling.
00:01:55
Speaker 2: Callers four, five and six, four, five and six, one eight hundred and five to zero one five three four callers number four, five and six are all going to pick up twenty five dollars gift cards to Bravery Brewing in Lancaster, the site of Friday's News, and Brus will be out there.
00:02:14
Speaker 1: We'll have a lot of fun, all right. I've been waiting through this article in New York Times about our choices for governor, and it's a feeling that I had yesterday and this is just solidifying it. It's just detritus up there. I mean, everyone's gott an issue. Nobody's really impressive. Nobody's a shining star. Well, I really like Matt Mayhan. He's but he doesn't have the gravitas at this point. To me. He doesn't have any real problems. He's a Democrat, and that's a real problem for Republicans. But I mean, personally, there's no real He's not an a hole, he doesn't seem to be an inflated ego person, he doesn't owe anything to unions. He's an unproblematic candidate. Yeah, everyone else, I mean, but Sarah is just like what, there's no there, there, there's no The only time he showed a pulse was when he yelled at that reporter from KTLA about is this a profile piece or a hit piece. That's the only time I've seen any signs of life with that guy.
00:03:16
Speaker 2: It's funny the way the New York Times, so they put together as this opinion piece who should govern California? And they asked a series of former political activists, civic leaders, political journalists, communications professors, people like that about each of the candidates and the specific issues, and they here's part of the problem. I think is that we need to identify the problems that face the state of California that the governor needs to take head on. The way that they write it up in The New York Times is California is the site of a series of un interlocking problems. It's just too expensive for many people. True, there aren't enough homes, or at least enough affordable ones for whom I would ask. The insurance market is a challenge. Agree, Homelessness is difficult. That's the word they use. Homelessness is difficult. Immigration and customs enforcements splitting up families, well, that's arguable. Federal cuts to universities in healthcare are rampant. Gas and electricity are expensive, water rights are complicated, fire and floods, and the effects of climate change are already savage. Listen, all of these things, even even if they're not one hundred percent true, there is truth in all of them. Now, what has been the main common denominator in the state of California over the last sixteen years? Okay, So if you answered that Democrats have been in control unilaterally unit party, then maybe there's an opportunity for us to mix something up. And even if Matt Mayhan or Antonio Viragosa, arguably the more moderate of the Democrats, even if one of them is elected, they're still dealing with a Democratic legislature that is not going to go along with they're more moderate positions on some of these issues.
00:05:04
Speaker 1: Not all Democrats are evil. You have Matt Mayhan that's providing alternatives to the classic Democrats trope in terms of repealing the gas tax. You have a Democrat and Daniel Luriy in San Francisco that has decided to enforce law and order and suddenly they don't have a homeless problem. So it's not just black or white Democrat or Republican. It's somebody who's going to break party lines and do something different. And even Vieira Gosa sitting here yesterday said it's a mass and Sacramento, it's a bureaucratic jumble of nothing getting done and nothing getting fixed and just getting worse, and something needs to change. It doesn't if you're going to be real about it. A Republican's not going to be elected governor right now in California. Okay, Well, they give me a Democrat that's going to think differently, right, that's the best you can hope for.
00:05:50
Speaker 2: And you've pointed to two Democrats mayor specifically, who are young enough. I know, Daniel Lurry's a little bit older than Matt Man, but they're young enough. They're not caught up in the political machine that is the Democratic Party where have you? They're not bought and sold for Xavier Bessera, Javier Besara and Katie Porter are I mean, Katie Porter is not the darling that she used to be.
00:06:12
Speaker 1: Not a darling. First of all, she she'd be pissed at that. She'd be pissed that you said that. So that's I mean, that's before I get lambasted for saying she's not a darling because she's not pretty enough or whatever. I'm saying that with such vitriol, because she would hate being called a darling by a man, which is part of her problem. Well, I would have said the same thing about Orsara. But I mean she's a local politician. I'm sure she does great locally. That's what she should be doing, right, Tom Steyer, he's I want a pony rich guy. You have no business in the governor's house in Sacramento. Sir, you want this because you can buy it. Cool. Javier Besara is exactly what you were just warning against, bought and sold for by the democratic machine. He's not going to do anything different. Couple of other notes about it. Steve Hilton wrote a piece in The New York Post where he suggested that Chad Bianco stepped down now in order to the assumption would be boost Steve Hilton's numbers going into the primary. It's not a bad design. Not wrong, not wrong. They were. And Chad Bianco's another guy. He's a local guy, and he's exactly who you want to represent you and be a local guy in that part of the state. That's one hundred percent who you want. He's not a government It doesn't translate, it does not, Tom Sdeyer.
00:07:32
Speaker 2: You mentioned, of course that he's out to buy his governor's seat, and he not only has broken the record for self funding in a governor's race, one hundred and ninety two million dollars of his personal money into his own campaign. He spent approximately three hundred and ten thousand dollars on Jane Fonda's Climate Political Action Committee in order to get Jane Fonda's endorsement.
00:07:59
Speaker 1: It's just it's such self. You know. You got to learn from history. It's the Meg Whitman rule. Most recently, you can't buy your way into political power in California. You just can't. You've got to ball wash the unions for a considerable amount of time. You've got to know where the ball ball wash is stored. You know, you've got to have the relationships with the people who make the ball wash to go get it and then to do the actual washing of the ball, not the.
00:08:31
Speaker 2: One that is the green bucket thing with the black handle at the first T. Is that what you're talking about? I think that's what you're talking about. I've never seen that. You've never played golf, I have, I've never washed my balls.
00:08:47
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Have you never what golf courses? I don't know. Apparently you go to the one where you get your balls washed. No, no, you have to do it yourself. Of course you do it's part of the fun.
00:08:57
Speaker 2: Here's it, Amy, Yes, the little brushes in there and the little.
00:09:03
Speaker 1: You dry it off at the towel. I have never washed any of my golf balls. Who's washing your bass? And nobody's ever washed my balls. My balls are never well. I don't know. They haven't need washing. Do you lose them before they get dirt? Self cleaning? Self cleaning, it's not an oven. Let's break.
00:09:22
Speaker 2: Gary Shannon will continue garyan Shannon KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio. Before we get back into local stuff that's going on politically, Let's give you a chance to win one thousand dollars.
00:09:36
Speaker 1: Now is your opportunity to win one thousand dollars.
00:09:40
Speaker 2: Just enter the nationwide keyword on our website cash.
00:09:43
Speaker 1: That's cash c A s H. Enter it now at KIM six forty dot com slash cash. Brought to you by Sweet James Accident Attorney's Office in Los Angeles, California and Sweet James dot com.
00:09:55
Speaker 2: Again, cash is the keyword. Just about an hour from now, we'll give you another chance to win the thousand dollars. Padres beat the Dodgers last night one to nothing.
00:10:04
Speaker 3: Swinging bun throwing the first down the line, Taxis gives Chase Kim on his horse, Tutis juggles, Kim stops.
00:10:15
Speaker 1: Oh no, you know evil stopped him at third. Oh no, uh but uh Tatis has an absolute cannon for an arm. So it would have been a very.
00:10:30
Speaker 2: Close play to play anyway if Dodgers ended up losing, and I don't know if they would say it's a base running error. The other one was a very fun game was the Angels. They were against the A's. The A's pitcher what was his name, jt jt Jin again took a no hitter into the bottom of the ninth inning and then zach netto walk off home run.
00:10:53
Speaker 1: Oh that's Payne, taller field going back as Henry Bilton step it up and a whole run for zach netto wait, that's their call. One walk off win on a and a bust up and no hitter won a gut punch for the Athletics.
00:11:16
Speaker 2: She's the new as play by play, Jennifer, you hit a walk off to bust up and no hitter late in the ninth I gotta have more excitement.
00:11:25
Speaker 1: I gotta feel I gotta feel it more. She was sad. Yeah, I want to feel that sadness. I want to feel it. You want it. It doesn't have to be an e. Now I was watching old highlights of Merton Hanks because why not. It's may thank god. And uh, just just listening to al Michael's calls from like thirty years ago, and my god, he's so good like and then I went down the whole you know, rabbit hole of great calls. And so that's that's why I'm probably more critical because I just did that last night of just like great calls and sports history. But anyway, the mayor's race, now, Nythia Ramen had no chance for me. Ever in this whole deal, I know that she represents the progressive side of things where it seems like places in Los Angeles are moving more towards you know, socialism, things like that, things we've seen be successful in places like New York. But this is the nail in her coffin. The progressives are not backing her. They're backing Karen Bass because they see where their bread is buttered. Three members of the LA City's Progressive Block have endorsed Mayor Karen Bass and favoring her over Nythia Ramen. They're all three members of the Democratic Socialists of America, as is Nythia Ramen. So now she doesn't even have the progressives backing her.
00:12:47
Speaker 2: There is discussion now about who is actually funding Spencer Pratt's run, and Hollywood Reporter came out with this, I don't know if it feels like a gotcha piece or I'm sorry, I don't know if it is a gotcha piece, but it feels like it's trying to be specifically he says, and has said repeatedly, I am a Republican. I did vote for Trump, but all of the supporters I have in LA are Democrats. Everyone I know my family were all Democrats. And when you vote for Spencer on your ballot, I'll say Spencer Pratt or it will say Spencer Pratt Community Advocate, because that's how identifies is. I do not represent a party. I don't have a campaign manager, I don't have campaign consultants. There's no political party backing me.
00:13:29
Speaker 1: Now.
00:13:29
Speaker 2: The Hollywood Reporter then dug in and said, yeah, but you paid sixty thousand dollars to Jane Cutter, who's executive director of America First Coalition. You've got twenty five thousand dollars on tag strategies for campaign consulting the idea. He doesn't have one of those high profile names of people that's alongside him that's telling him what to do. But it does feel like the Hollywood Report is trying to ascribe this sort of he's not as innocent as he made. He's playing the political game because he has to, but he also is playing the political game.
00:14:08
Speaker 1: Did anybody think he was a clean not dirty candidate or somebody who wasn't being funded by someone at some point? I mean, it's not like, yeah, he had definitely a grassroots start in the Palisades, but he's just like everybody else. He needs money to run a campaign, and they all take money from people maybe that they don't always want to take money from. That's politics in America, certainly in especially a high profile position mayor of the city of La. When we were looking for a house, oh now, oh, fourteen years ago, fifteen years ago, I remember there was an address. It was in West LA and the home was for I think six fifty five point fifty six something like that, maybe about six hundred thousand, and I remember thinking West La. Huh pulled up at this house that was on you know, whatever the MLS page was that we're looking at. It was a condemned house, it was not liveable, and it was up for over six hundred thousand dollars. Well, now a home in Torrance has sold for over one million. Same kind of situation, a burned out, dilapidated home. And that's just housing in California. Property fire damage.
00:15:16
Speaker 2: Do not enter or occupy, no interior showing, Oh no no.
00:15:22
Speaker 1: Gary and Shannon will continue. You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kfi AM six forty. But the first part, what is the cost of the match? That's the problem.
00:15:35
Speaker 2: Garyan Shannon kfi AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeart Radio app Today live from the Seller's Advantage Studio. Friday will be live at Bravery Brewing and Lancaster, and we'd love it if you'd come on out and say hi. We're gonna be out there from nine to noon doing the show. Of course, right after that we're going to do the podcast recording for the Weekend Fix that we do every weekend, and we'd love it if you came along and helped us do that, But don't do it for us do it for the beer and pizza.
00:16:04
Speaker 1: Right, Wait too, what what are we asking people to do? Just come hang out with us? Oh yeah, No, it's a great place. You don't have to listen to the show or see us or anything. I mean that backyard alone is just a nice warning. Sun's out, but it's not too hot. It's not the heat of the day. You're enjoying yourself. You're having pizza, you're having a beer at ten thirty. Like what, Yeah, it's summer. Summer now, like what?
00:16:28
Speaker 3: All right?
00:16:28
Speaker 1: So here we go. This is California housing. You want to talk about housing prices in California, this is the case you make. You don't show me somebody eating their own feces on skid row and so we've got a housing problem. No, that's sorry, that does not compute. But this is a little bit of a better indicator of how hard it is to buy a home in California right now. And I thought this way though. I thought this way when I was twenty two as well, like, oh my god, I'm never going to be able to buy a home in California. So it's nothing new that's going on with California housing prices. They've been steep for quite some time. You know, my parents when they bought their home, it was like, you know, they bought their home in late seventies north of San Francisco, before there was a north of San Francisco situation. I mean, it was just kind of expanding. But you know, it's it's it's now reached the point where we are living in the urban no wildland areas. We have sprawled out to where you know you're going to have the fire danger and all that. So anyway, when you have a home that comes up for sale in Torrance which is nicely located, even if it's a dilapidated, burned out house, it's going for over one million dollars. This is ridiculous.
00:17:54
Speaker 2: Multiple real estate websites listed this property in Torrance, and here's the thing. It's listed this way. It's not a surprise once you get there, Like, I guess we can't go in because it's all burned out. This multiple real estate websites quote this property has fire damage, all caps boarded up. Do not enter or occupy property. No interior showings. Photos of the three bedroom house showed one of the rooms with a smoke blackened popcorn ceiling classy and a small kitchen with vinyl flooring darkened by either mold or dirt. Maybe ash eleven hundred square foot home.
00:18:35
Speaker 1: That's the other thing. It's a small home built in fifty five, built in fifty five, and as you can glean from the information damaged in a house fire two years ago, it was snapped up in a heartbeat. One point zero eight million dollars. I don't get it. I just and the question is who's gonna buy it? Right? Who buys it? Who you buy it? For? The location?
00:19:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously, but you start, you're a million buying for the dirt, started buying the dirt. And that's just I mean, it's you know, the corner of Leonora and on Anza Avenue. It is near a school, so uh or is that a school? Maybe that's a school, yeah, Anza Elementary School, so there is, and the middle school is not too far away. If you're a young family and you're looking to live close to school, that's one way to do it. But a million plus a million for the land, another three four hundred, five hundred thousand for the for the building itself. The other acts the thing. One of the things that we have done for a couple of decades now is pushing people into student loans. I've always thought this and I don't know if this plays into it, but the woman who wrote up this article refers to coming from working class families. Put their cell She and her husband put yourself through college with themselves through college with student loans where hers are paid off. He's going to be stuck with him into his late forties, she says, because of the amount that he took out, and that is just devastating when you're trying to build any sort of wealth.
00:20:17
Speaker 1: As well, something common going around on social media is people filming their workouts. Have you seen these? Have you fallen into the algorithm of health? If you have, you've seen the countless videos of people at the gym showing their workouts, the thirst trap workout videos, all of it. Was it. What does that mean? Working out while you're looking hot? Yeah? Exactly, Okay, he nailed it. There are gyms now that are cracking down on that. Put your phone away. What are you doing?
00:20:46
Speaker 2: I love I've seen videos where people clearly are doing it for themselves. Obviously they're working out, Like you said, these thirst trap videos, and somebody else will come along and knock their phone over on Papa.
00:20:57
Speaker 1: Oh, that's great. I saw it the other day. I'm at the gym and I see this dude and he's lifting, but he's not lifting. He's just getting ready to lift. He's got all the accouterments, and he's got his phone propped up to video himself bench pressing. And I just thought, my god. Now on the one hand, on the one hand, I can't wait to hear.
00:21:16
Speaker 2: Your argument for this, Gary and Shannon, we'll continue. Garriott, Shannon Kfi A M six forty live everywhere on the iHeart Radio app.
00:21:26
Speaker 1: I may have misspoken.
00:21:28
Speaker 2: H The A's pitcher had given up a single before Zach Netto's home run, So he wasn't He wasn't the one.
00:21:37
Speaker 1: That broke up the hitter.
00:21:39
Speaker 2: The no hitter was broken up. But then such picture is later or something like that game. Okay, but to go all the way to the ninth inning with a no hitter, it sounded.
00:21:47
Speaker 1: Like in your retail. I don't remember exactly what your words were. The way I took it was it was busted up with the home run. Now, then then I have led many a stray. I'm a bad I'm a bad listener. I feel awful, don't feel off. We don't want that. So anyway, I'm at the gym and this was this was what day was this? I think it was like a doesn't matter, does it? It was like a Sunday afternoon or something, and do you get it? You go to the gym on the weekend. I'm just trying to paint the picture of when it was. It's not like it was five am on you know, I don't know when a downtime is when you're the only person in the gym. Maybe night, okay, then maybe like you set up the camera. You know, there's no shame in your game. You want to get you want to get this on whatever. There's clearly people there is all the picture I was trying to paint is and so there was no like, oh, should I really be filming myself lifting? Like it was none of that, which is fine, Like that's great. I love that you are unapologetic with your documentation of your workout. It's still kind of funny to me when you see a dude be any time you see a dude be vain, it's kind of funny. It's just not it goes against I don't know. I guess dudes can be vain just as much as women can be vain. I guess. Yeah. But that was one instance, and I thought, huh, interesting because I had seen a woman in the and this was in the changing area of the locker room or whatever, taking pictures. Shed just gotten the cupping done, You've had this done, and so she's got the big yeah, and she's taking a picture of the bruises on her back, which I'm like, okay, whatever, and she was admonished, don't take pictures around here, like this is a locker room.
00:23:40
Speaker 2: And it's it's only because I mean someone in the background. Is there's gonna be an odd mirror, you know, reflection that you're not accounting for exactly. Probably, Yeah, I would say that there is, on the one hand, a lot of when a lot of the benefit that you get it from lifting is going to be because you're doing it right, Your posture is right, you're you know, you're you. You have to be set up for it so that you're not taxing the muscles that you're not trying to tax.
00:24:12
Speaker 1: It makes sense.
00:24:13
Speaker 2: So one of the ways you can do that, I guess, to check yourself is by recording yourself and then watching it back.
00:24:21
Speaker 1: Now you know you can feel it when you're doing it right versus when you're doing it wrong. That's what I would say.
00:24:27
Speaker 2: Yes, I've never done that because I think I can feel it if I do it in your head right, if it's up over your head, Tighten your cheeks a little bit, bend your knees kind of thing, keep it, keep your back straight, fold in your your ribs, all that sort of stuff. And if you if you're doing it wrong, you'll feel it or you should feel it right away. Yes, but there are people who probably don't have that body awareness that they want to have.
00:24:58
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know to make excuses for people. I think they just like taking pictures of them working out.
00:25:06
Speaker 2: Well, why do you think there's giant mirrors in every gym in America? Is so that people can stand there. It's all so odd to be. It's supposed to be also for your form like you're supposed to be. If there's windows in windows, mirrors in front of you, you.
00:25:21
Speaker 1: Can check it makes sense.
00:25:22
Speaker 2: I do that, Yeah, off to the side you can check as well, make sure everything sure.
00:25:26
Speaker 1: But that's not what people use those mirrors for the checking them.
00:25:30
Speaker 2: I'm masturbation, So everybody know that's the weird thing, please bro.
00:25:37
Speaker 1: I get it. Like when I'm at home in my garage working out, if there's a mirror down there, but if I find my carnival mirror, I yeah, that's what I tell myself. It's awful lighting. It's overhead fluorescent lighting. It's like worst case hate yourself looking hot. They just they just shut the door on us because this conversation sucks so bad. They're like, we can't have the people in the hallway hearing this. But like it is the hate yourself lighting situation down there. But I'll do that. I'll be like working out or whatever, and I will look to the side to check my form or whatever. But the idea of standing in front of the mirror looking at yourself when you're working out or lifting is bizarre to me. Yeah, I don't want to Also, I don't want to see that, like, no one's trying to see that. I'm not lighting.
00:26:30
Speaker 2: I've noticed that the where I usually work out also in my garage, but the light is behind me. Oh yeah, and I cast a shadow on the garage door. So that's the only way I can check and see if I'm standing up straight or if I'm straightening my arms when.
00:26:46
Speaker 1: I do it. Yeah, I didn't put a mirror. The mirror and actually all of the workout, like the matting and stuff, was all in there when we moved in. The previous owners had put up the mirror and the padding and all that. They were the faith it was up to me, there'd be a no f and mirror down there. Nobody's trying to see that plastic over it. I would think so much more of myself if I didn't have that mirror.
00:27:10
Speaker 2: On Friday, we're gonna be live at Bravery Brewing in Lancaster to help kick off New Year's New Year's Well, to help kick off Memorial Day weekend. We would love it if you come on out.
00:27:21
Speaker 1: It's like the Christmas House, you know, yeah, New Year another street in the corner. We don't know. They do have some Christmas lights up in the brewing section of them.
00:27:30
Speaker 2: Anyway, We'll be out there from nine until noon doing the show live. Right at noon is when we'll turn around and record our podcast for the weekend.

00:27:54
Speaker 1: You know how like you have pizza and you like pizza's pizza, All pizza is great. This pizza is so much better than that.
00:28:00
Speaker 2: And it's especially considering the history of it. I mean, they put in a pizza kitchen because of COVID restrictions, they couldn't open unless they were also sort of.
00:28:09
Speaker 1: Kid what a gift blessing in disguise. Now it's one of the pizza it's one of those.
00:28:15
Speaker 2: It's a pizza that feels like it's been around for forty years.
00:28:18
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, like it's it's only a pizza place, not just not a brewery and a pizza place. I'm gonna let you pick the pizza that we eat, Okay, but but I mean choose wisely because they don't have that many bathrooms there.
00:28:32
