Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
I think in the accident in March, it was blamed on a stuck accelerator pedal, something like that.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
What is difficult is that you're talking about people who are obviously, they have a lot of experience driving, but their reaction times, the older you get, the situational awareness, that goes down.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
It opens up the question of, is there at least time to have a conversation about what does it mean to be driving at 80 plus, 90 plus? I mean, I was digging into the statistics on this because I was fascinated to learn.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
Okay, I know that it seems like these situations that happen indicate to us that maybe this is a problem in a big way.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
However, if you look at the actual raw numbers, the amount of people who are older who are getting in crashes, who are killing people, killing pedestrians with their vehicles, is incredibly low today.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
Yeah, witness accounts as well, which paint a bit of a different picture with Lawantara allegedly initiating the confrontation, following the victim, who was just going through trash cans, and stabbing him repeatedly in the neck.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
The presiding judge, Keith Schwartz, forcefully dismissed claims of self-defense during preliminary proceedings and now emphasizes that the victim was minding his own business and had no reason to be targeted.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
And you think that that's a problem? You're going to go out there and confront somebody? You think that trash is not for you? I don't go through my trash, whatever.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
I'm going to have to like, try to stammer my way through a question that I know Mrs. McMillan is going to ask.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
And I, it's like, that sounds like a chore, but, but you're telling me that it's fun and it's cool.

Shannon FarrenHOST
If you don't need him for the fourth quarter, great, but then you have him for the next game.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
Do you think that we just peaked too early and then we ran out of steam? Because the other thing is, I mean, you got basically 10 minutes and you're still down by 25 points or whatever.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
And they're down 27 at halftime, 20 points with less than 10 minutes remaining.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
You cannot underestimate the dissatisfaction with the current administration.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
In the exact same way that Republicans were able to make up huge ground in the last election.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
And I think that it allows for those just whoever the party in power is always always is just up whenever there's there's rampant dissatisfaction, with the exception, of course, of California, where people will just continue to be miserable and vote for the same thing over and over.
Shannon FarrenHOST
You know, when you look at all the money that was put towards homeless housing and how many units have been created, and I don't have the hard and fast numbers in front of me, but it's like, you know, seven units, right? It's an

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
Can I tell you, you should enjoy this part right now because as soon as they hatch, I don't know if you've had hatched birds before.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
And it is so stressful because you get attached and you start thinking about them and then they start flying.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
So it's just that the representation of the people who have been in power have been so good at staying in power that it is shocking.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
perception wise that everyone is on the table as far as an option and anybody would be better and i think this is the sort of this is the thing that's going to win this election if if a republican does anybody but anybody but the people who've been running this place for the past 40 years

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
There's a psychology of everybody at the airport is having a day that is preceding or following the day that you want to be having.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
So any little thing that you can do to keep yourself from going postal on the Spirit Airlines check-in counter, rest in peace.
12 MINS LATER
From Iran to Erewhon
23:27

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
The thing with this, too, is that I think you probably would have done fine because this isn't for you.

Because once you start realizing, oh, there's not that many of them, they must be great.
Evil in Plain Sight
5:27

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
I think a lot of this, there's a lot to be said about this story, which is people who are in the entourage, how much did they know? How much did they turn the other cheek or just look away and say, the hand that feeds.

They should all be rounded up, his family included, because they're the ones probably closest to this who were the most resistant when it comes to talking to the police.

20:48
20:55

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
And you got to pay a ticket a lot of times, too, because if they tow it from a location, it might be because it is parked illegally.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
There's a scam that was running in Hollywood that I don't know if they're still doing it, but it was in front of a nightclub where the people at the nightclub will say, yeah, go ahead and you can park right here.

Colonoscopy Day, Cabinet Chaos & War Tensions Rise
9:10
9:20

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
I think it's funny because if you watch the press conference, especially the one that was, I believe it was a Tuesday night about the war, sort of an update on what's going on.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
the confidence that is presented by a politician, and then if you watch all of a sudden them firing people who are high up or considering firing other people, maybe Howard Letnick is next, perhaps.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
It's an indication, I think, that he's concerned that things are not going the way that he would like.
25 MINS LATER
Gary and Shannon Overtime: Entertainment Evolving
5:47
5:56

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
And it is a topic that I've talked to a lot of the guests about because I'll get music producers on and I will get musicians on and things like that.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
One of the things that's interesting to me, and I hadn't heard this before, but I love it, is that someone is calling the...

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
my team will say we cut it early so we were very lucky i was here and i was you know i had been sick and then i got better and i thought i just had a lingering cough from from the prior thing that i had and and i knew that i was coming in to fill in with you i had three days in a row and i was really excited so i came in the first day but i woke up the day and i was like I still feel a little weird, but maybe it's just like a hangover from the old medicine and all this stuff.

Andy RiesmeyerGUEST
And then by the time Thursday rolled around, the second of the three days, end of the show, I had to hold this cough button down the whole time.
