That's where you would start if you wanted to see what it was like to be blind, But closing your eyes seems a little bit two on the nose, maybe to see if you were actually blind. Gary and Shannon kfi AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. The Return of Yellowstone delivered the show's biggest premiere night audience ever across cable and CBS. The season five, Part two debut drew sixteen almost sixteen and a half million viewers.

Did you get in trouble at all for saying earlier what happened in the episode?

Everyone knew it was coming right, Well, I I don't. There was one person who on talkback said WTAF WTAF maybe absolute actual, actual what it is, but it's not. That wasn't a giant spoiler. It happens in the first thirty seconds of the show and sets up sort of what they're going to do for the rest of the season, and knowing the machinations in the first part of season anyway, sixteen point five million is what they're doing. Did you see that? Denzel says he's going to.

Retire Denzel Perriman wrong, Denzel Washington best actor ever? Yeah, I think Denzel Perryman was named after him.

He plans to retire from Hollywood. He's got a slate of movies that he's working on, but he says after that he's going to retire. He said, I've been talking with Steve McQueen about a film. After that. Ryan Coogler's writing apart for me in the next Black Panther. After that, I'm going to do the film Othello. After that, I'm going to do King Lear And after that I'm going to retire Shakespeare. Couple he started in Shakespeare. He said he did a fellow at twenty two. Oh okay, so

I have your jet pretty question before we get to Trump's cabinet. What is the number one top selling jersey in the NFL right now today?

Yeah? Can I ask a quick follow up? Yes, well, it's a silly question. I think I'm already I was gonna say, is it a current player? Yes? Okay, most popular jersey.

From the NFL top selling, number one top selling jersey in the NFL.

Number one top selling jersey the NFL. You know what they say in Star Wars? Look within? That's they do? Do they not say that within? I feel like Yoda says that or someone Darth Vader. Is it the Trevor Lawrence jersey that comes with its own wig?

No?

Would it be justin Herbert? What did I What advice did I give you? Look within? Look within? Within? Where your heart my heart? Yes?

C J.

Number five, Jaden Daniels, number six, I'm on ros Saint Brown number seven, Ceed Lamb number eight, Josh Allen number nine Justin Jefferson and number ten Max Crosby.

So am, I right, Saint Brown is the first non quarterback on that list. The top five or six are all quarterbacks.

Let me see here, one, two, three, No, Aiden Hutchinson's not a quarter.

But yeah, okay, that's good. Yeah, there you go. Time for swamp watch. Swamp is horrible, the government doesn't work.

Good man, You're gonna make this like a reality TV show bad.

Which is always a pleasure to be in it. Within Washington, z c. Hey, Joe, it was like a town and it could have been the never ending story in so many ways. Still a swamp watch, make, he said, drained the swamp. I said, oh that's so keep You know the thing, Well, we're getting closer to a Trump presidency, the forty seventh president of the United States, and we know some of who would be in his cabinet if

So I was reading this article about how Democrats lost Latinos and how this is too great of a voting block to lose. They say millions of Latinos in this country, just like the white auto workers in Michigan, the truck drivers in Pennsylvania, that they feel like they're getting left behind in this global economy that the Democrats preach that seems to fuel itself by hollowing out border towns and

I saw a statistic that there are I believe it's fourteen counties in Texas along the Rio Grande River, and that four years ago only five of them voted for Trump. This round, twelve of those fourteen counties along the Rio grand voted for Trump. And obviously they're very heavily Latino populated counties, but that would be a very specific evidence that they broke for Trump this year. Here is something else.

They lost support, even Democrats did, even among undocumented Latinos that there were friends in Excuse me, this one woman they spoke to, she says, I've got friends in one of these border towns, though they couldn't vote, nonetheless supported Trump. Some had lived in the States for decades, working long hours,

Yeah, that feeling, I think they've put this article puts it very well. The feeling of being cut in line is the glue that unites conservatives in this country. Whatever arena that is, if you feel like you've waited patiently for your opportunity and it's been taken away from you or handed to somebody else who didn't deserve it, that was a uniting theme. And in this case it happens to be immigration, which is a pretty significant and inescapable

About when the Democrats were winning all the Latino votes and you know, amnesty and all these things. That was you know, a long time ago that people have been here for decades now. They don't identify with the people coming in from Venezuela.

Yeah, and I mean one of those people they She said she's at ninety seven percent Latino. Sorry, Star County is ninety seven percent Latino. Star is more Mexican by population than some places in Mexico because of the demographics live within. When we come back the court cases and the ongoing court cases against President elect Trump, what that means going forward, because the New York judge has decided to punt a bit when it comes to the criminal

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

Welcome to Tuesday, November twelfth. A senior police official is warning of calls for more rioting in Amsterdam after those and some people armed with sticks and firecrackers set a tram on fire last night. The city is facing tensions following violence last week the targeted fans IF, an Israeli soccer club.

We were talking about only children and more and more households that are deciding to just have the one child.

Yeah, was that a decision for you or did you grow up as a single child, a lone lone child, only child, only child. I'm always fascinated by when was the moment you realized, oh, not every family is like mine. Yeah, I mean there are times, you know, you spend the night at a friend's house or or you know, college or something like that. My roommate in college, had a he had a weird, weird life. It just there was there was like, well, there was some abuse in the home.

Mary and this is Mike from the High High Desert.

I just wanted to tell you guys that I love you've done.

I listened to your every day.

Well, thank you for that. Appreciate especially if you're out in the High Desert. A couple other names we didn't get to regarding potential cabinet picks. Environmental Protection Agency director Lee Zelden. He is a congressman from New York. He was once a gubernatorial candidate outspoken defender of Trump. During his first impeachment, Trump mentioned Lee Zelden's legal background, which is he's going to probably lean on the APIA to

The talk about Marco Rubio is bothering some MAGA Republicans Trump loyalists. They say that he doesn't have Great America First credentials. They don't think that the decision was made by Trump. They're holding out hope for Rick Grinnell and people inside Trump are older saying, well, it's not a done deal. And Amy King actually brought something up earlier

It'd be interesting to see what happens there. New York Judge one Mayor Sean has agreed to give Manhattan prosecutors and Trump's lawyers a week to figure out how to proceed in the hush money case now that Trump has been re elected. Of course, all of this was thrown into disarray when the Supreme Court decided that there are a lot of things that a president gets to enjoy immunity from while he is president. He or she and

I have breaking news from the desk of Donald j. Trump, it's not about coronavirus. He has just announced that he will nominate this person to be the United States Ambassador to Israel, and he guesses.

Bernie Sanders, why would you say that?

I don't know.

Why would you say that, Joe Lieberman.

Mike Huckaby, oh, former governor of Arkansas, will be the US Ambassador to Israel.

Trump's at in a statement.

Mike has been a great public servant, a governor, and leader in faith for many years. He loves Israel, the people of Israel, and likewise the people of Israel love him.

Yeah.

Sure, the people of Israel have Mike Huckaby top of mind.

He always puts one extra sentence in there, Israel do not love Mike Huckaby.

I'm sorry you have polling information on that.

I mean, name can you name one person in power other than.

And Yahoo in Israel? Not that he hasn't fired, I mean, and certainly.

Not anybody down the wrong of Mike Huckabee.

That's funny. That is funny. When we come back, we'll talk about the art of just dropping in, but also the issue of having one child. Were you an only child, did it affect your life? When did you figure out you weren't an only child. You can always leave us a talkback message on the iHeart app. Just hit that little button and it leaves us a message that comes in right into this computer, and we laugh at it before we play it. Don't swear, don't swear? Well, I

That's true. We have a staff meeting this afternoon. We think that there's gonna be six or seven people.

There, depends if you leave earlier or not.

I don't know the new people don't know my feeling about meetings.

It'll be obvious. Will it be obvious? You keep it? You don't hide that very well? Ah, all right, you jangle your keys when they're like, okay, we'd like everybody to come in.

Well, you started telling me I can't bring my keys to the meetings anymore.

Can I start bringing in them again? Probably? Not yet. I would say, let's have one meeting without your keys. Okay. Fine.

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

Later on we're going to talk in Tuesday. The True Crime Tuesday segment comes up at close to the bottom of the hour. California governor Knew some traveling to the nation's capital this week. He's there to what he say protects California's policies from Trump. Following Trump's win in the White House race last week. The governor is trying to get five point two billion dollars reimbursement for emergency funding. He wants to update the Medicaid program, medical and other priorities.

Because I know that you hold near and dear to your heart celebrity relationships.

I have some bad news for you. Why you got it more bad news? Really seems like the only song that played in my head all day yesterday, really all day.

Yeah, Jessica Simpson turns out the rumors are true. She is unhappy with her marriage to Eric Johnson. Two divorce lawyers have been contacted about this marriage with in the recent weeks.

Who's Eric Johnson? He was a tight end for the forty nine ers?

Was he?

Okay? My heart is not? You didn't know who Jessica Simpson's husband was? I did not so crazy after Nick? Nick? Yeah, that guy I didn't follow her love life? Weird. Well, I just felt listen, if you can't make it work with Nick Lache, you're not going to make it work with anybody. Probably, It's a rule in my life.

Garyan Shannon, I'd like your opinion on this one question. Do you think that our President Donald Trump will keep Eric Garcetti as ambassador in India?

No?

Oh, that's a silly question. There's no current in bat Well. I shouldn't say no, but very few current ambassadors who will be the remaining on station. The ambassadors go out with the bathwater.

Sorry for calling every everyone's attention to Joe Biden's bathwater.

Oh what.

I remember putting oatmeal in my bath water? Oh? So this article that we pointed out earlier about the coming rain of the only child, that more and more families are either choosing or are relegated to having just one child, and why that is many different reasons for a lot of people. Sometimes they start their families later, and biology doesn't work that well when you're later in life. Sometimes you just choose to have one. Sometimes you want more, but you can only have one.

Hey, guys, I'm an only child and I was raised by a single mom, and I'm probably the most empathetic dude. I'm like a king Saposaurus. I'm too much empathy and sympathy for my own good. So it has nothing to do with the single child thing. Used a little bit of not giving a crab.

Love you guys.

I hear a cow or a cat in there? And what's a king seposaurus? Is that a dinosaur?

I have no idea. I don't know. I need clarification, Harry, Hi, Shannon.

I'm a mother of an only child, and I have to say she is no more spoiled than kids of her generation that have siblings. It's all about how you raise them and how you teach them, whether they're only children or a family of ten. I resent the only child spoiled syndrome because that falls back on the parents.

That's a good point. I know a handful of people that were raised as only children, and I don't they never none of them fit that trope of being spoiled or unempathetic.

Garry and Shannon.

I'm an only child.

I've always said that I was spoiled, but I was never a brat. I did spend a lot of time with adults, and so I learned how to talk to people a little bit better than some people that had lots of siblings. But my best friend was one of four and so and I was always included in their family activities as well. So only children are okay, They're just okay.

The Spinosaurus is known as the king of the dinosaurs, the bulkiest carnivore to ever walk the earth.

But he didn't say spinosaurus. He didn't. He said Cephasaurus. I think we'll check it.

Hey, Shannon and Gary create talking about only kids. That was me sucked. Why to get blamed for everything? You have to clean everything, and you are the dumping ground for the parents emotional and other kind of stresses.

Yeah, so what I do?

I have three kids, I hope it was worth it, because right now they kind of hate each other, love you guys each.

Other for for a while. So you dump your your emotional stress on three kids instead of one. No, that's not true. They can share in that burden and.

Probably the most empathetic dude, I like a king sapasaurus.

And see, oh I get it, saposaurus like he sat king sasaurus.

Okay, I see all right.

I was an only child raised by a single mother, and so because she was working full time to support us, I was often you know, shipped around between households of friends and and I most definitely learned how to have you know, fake siblings. I guess you could call it.

Yeah, I wonder that idea of a single parent, single child. There's a that is a unique bond, good or bad. It's a very unique bond that probably doesn't exist anywhere else because you, if you're you have to rely on that person to be a friend while they're being your child or parent. I mean, it's the only other person in your life, unless, like she says, there's another family. Hope.

So, Gary and Channon, my mom read that book from doctor Spock, and she said, the only thing it was good for was spank.

In my butt?

Did it work?

Hey?

Gary and Shannon four kids in three years. Yes, there was a set of twins. The only bummer about it is all four of them were in college at one time, a big, huge boatload of money going out at one time.

Happiest day of.

Our lives is when the twins graduated. We felt like we got a pay raise. It could be worse, though. My cousin had thirteen. Wow, So don't say big families don't exist. Talk to the Catholics. They still do this.

One of the guys I used to work with in Seattle, his kids were just preteens. I believe it was. He had a couple of kids. Yeah, then he had triplets. He had two kids, and he could see the horizon, he could see the eighteenth birthdays, and he had triplets. He went from two kids to five kids in the course of one That's a lot sperm.

Yeah, guys, Rick and La Vista, we only had one son. Wanted to have others, but congenital cataracts runs in our family, including partial sight and complete blindness. So once we figured that out and knew that our son had the same thing, we just decided we did adopt, but never got around to it.

Oh, that was it. That's kind of a sad story. Good morning Gary, Good morning Shanning. It's just Michael.

I am an only child. I have the last half Irish descendant from my family tree, and I made myself a promise one day if I should ever get married, and I did that I was going to have at least two kids, because being an early child. These says all great, not necessarily all right, peace out.

Thank you, peace out, May the road rise to meet you or whatever.

Okay, do you hear about the guy in Wisconsin who faked his debt to get away from his family.

I'm listening. I'll tell you how to guide we return.

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

Just sorry, I thought in rehearsal that you were going to now listen.

It's been a trying time these days round here, and news is suffering.

You can just oh. House Speaker Mike Johnson says Republicans are ready to deliver on President elect Trump's mandate. He said Republicans are not going to make the mistakes of the first term, and they'll be more prepared for a second term Trump White House. He was on the steps of the capital today with members of his House Republican

Trump has formally announced another decision here another selection, Representative Mike Waltz, to join his administration as National Security Advisor. First green Beret who have been elected to Congress previously served in the White House and Pentagon.

We saw Wall Street start in the positive note for once again after the election that's been skyrocketing. The Dow is currently down about two hundred and forty five points, but still over the forty four thousand mark. S and P five hundred his slid just a tiny bit, and the Nasdaq is barely into positive territory right now as well.

Well, sometimes you don't want to get away from a president.

You want to get away from your family.

And that is exactly the case for a guy by the name of Ryan Borgwart, forty four year old husband and father of three in Wisconsin, goes kayaking for the day on August twelfth and never comes home. Deputies went to Green Lake where Ryan had set to go out fishing. They found his van, They found his trailer near the

Well, that means Ryan Borgwart must have died except for one problem. What was the problem? No body.

They spent months scouring the lake to find the body. They used sonar to go down two hundred and twenty feet in some spots. They flew drones around the massive lake to find him. From afar, they brought in cadaver dogs, hoping the dogs would find the body.

Keith Kormakan is a director of an organization that helps authorities find the bodies of drowning victims, and approached the sheriff after scouring the lake in a boat for twenty eight days, and he said he wasn't going to be giving up. He had requested some state of the art sonar equipment, although it was going to take a while for them to arrive.

Now.

All this happened in mid August. On October seventh, the sheriff told his investigators they needed to try something else, so they started digging into Ryan Borgwart's background and soon discovered the Canadian authorities had run his name after he disappeared.

They began to suspect this was no longer a case of accidental drowning, but a sophisticated fraud. The FBI was brought in and a digital forensics analyst from the States Justice Department searched Ryan's laptop.

What did they find on the laptop?

They discovered that Ryan had been communicating with a woman in Huzbekistan.

It was Bekistani woman.

He had made inquiries about moving money to a foreign bank. He allegedly replaced the hard drive on laptop before the kayaking trip.

Oh, don't forget. He had also.

Taken out a three hundred and seventy five thousand dollars life insurance policy.

Aha. Well, the sheriff came to the conclusion that there was no body. Because there was no body, investigators figured out that he'd spent months meticulously secretly putting into place the pieces that he needed to stage his own death and abandoned his nasty old family for a new life.

Hmmm.

Interesting.

Do you think it was a woman that was helping him secure the foreign bank transaction or was this a woman that he was having sexy time with?

How do you hook up with a woman from Uzbekistan? Probably only the same old fashioned way. They're built much like other humans. What do you mean, well, I mean, how did how was he to in the first place? Right? Apparently?

Oh, there's a love habibi and it's you can sign up on lovehabebee dot com and you can connect with people from using Bekistan looking for love. Apparently it's a thing to marry Usbek woman, Uzbekistan.

The sheriff said that the family. Ryan Borgwart's family is doing relatively well, he said, doing rather well, three kids. He's got two sons in high school and a daughter in's at grade school. Shocked to hear what investigators think their father did to fake his death, something that their mother has known for weeks as she was helping authorities, he said, I put a lot on her shoulders, the sheriff said, suggesting that he had to tell them the wife, Hey,

Me leaving, I get to do whatever I want all the time back. This guy's got three kids. He's probably scheduled into a corner. Uh, he's got something to fake his.

Death for freedom. Freedom, It's called freedom. But how free are you if you still remember you've got three kids that you left behind.

I don't know what those kids do to deserve it. But if you're seeking freedom, you don't go to Uzbekistan. No, No, probably not. But they apparently have wonderful food there.

Oh. Really, you've never been to Uzbekistan. That's a surprise. You've been to a lot of places. Well, the year is young. Yes, we still have Christmas in Uzbekistan. Is that what you're looking for? They've got plov. That's the national dish. That sounds delightful. Plov sounds like an accident. Do you want to know about plov?

It's served at weddings and festivals other special occasions.

It is a.

Nutritious rice pilaf that is made by sauteing meat, onions, carrots, and oil or fat that adding rice or water and spices like kumen, cornder, temrick.

That sounds great. They can use variety of meat, lamb, beef, chicken. I'll take all of those. Please, Yes.

Listen to man Tea Manty's a popular dish in Uzbek cuisine. It's little dumplings with ground meat and un and various seasonings. The rappers are generally made from simple dough of flour and water and sometimes eggs. So just like basically like Chinese dumplings, but Oozbek dumplings.

That sounds delightful. I'm gonna go to Uzbekistan.

And then Lagman. Lagman has hand pulled noodles that are cooked in a savory broth. You know what, This stuff all looks really good. Maybe I'm just hungry. Oh yeah, it's noon.
