WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:04.000 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI AM six forty, the 2 00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:08.640 Gary and Shannon Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Senator jd Vance is 3 00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:12.160 apparently one of the leading candidates to be former to be a running mate for 4 00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:15.919 former President Trump. But back in twenty sixteen, there's been a lot of 5 00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:22.120 people who have gone through the potential VP candidate's statements about Trump over the course 6 00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:27.280 of years. Back in twenty sixteen, he was known as the author of 7 00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:31.519 Hillbilly Elogy, but was not yet a senator. That was a great book 8 00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:36.719 that really helped I think understand how Trump got elected in the first place, 9 00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:42.039 in terms of people in many parts of the country feeling disenfranchised, feeling like 10 00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:46.000 it's all the elite that control the country. He captured it, Larry Well 11 00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:50.079 captured it very well. Many words have been written about his comments about Trump, 12 00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:54.479 but including including I should say he declared Trump an idiot. He compared 13 00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:59.880 him to Adolf Hitler. But he went so far as to say on MSNB 14 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:04.280 see one point that he believed the story of a woman named Jessica Leeds who 15 00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:08.000 claimed that Trump had groped her before. I don't know if that comes up 16 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.879 in the conversations or part of the vetting process. But it's one of those 17 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:18.480 things that has come out lately about some of these vice presidential potential running mates. 18 00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:23.319 Your Costco membership is going up. Yeah, they're going to be increasing 19 00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:27.280 the annual membership fee between five and ten dollars. Five bucks for the lower 20 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.159 end. I think ten bucks for the executive membership. Yeah. The gold 21 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.799 Star membership will go from sixty to sixty five a year. The Premium Executive 22 00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.000 membership will increase from one hundred and twenty to one hundred and thirty dollars. 23 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:45.079 What's the difference between the membership plans if I remember correctly, if you get 24 00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:49.280 the higher end, can be you can go shop an hour earlier. Really, 25 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.799 Yeah, I think that's one of the benefits, so you can get 26 00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:56.719 in there before the cords. Yeah. Well, I mean there's still a 27 00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.959 lot of people because it's Costco on a Saturday. If that's where you're going, 28 00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:01.680 yeah, I can't do it. I get a little homicidal. My 29 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:06.680 husband goes to Costco and we need to go to be safe. It's safer 30 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:13.199 for everyone. The California Independent System Operator is saying that at this time the 31 00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:16.960 grid is are you going to I feel like I have to sneeze. Go 32 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:21.759 ahead, I know, I feel like now it went away? Oh did 33 00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:25.840 I shame it back? The California Independent System Operator insists that the grid is 34 00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.879 stable. However, today is likely going to be the hottest day in parts 35 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:36.479 of the state as we continue our heat wave. According to cal ISO, 36 00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:40.319 it's important emphasized that events that linger for many consecutive days can actually over tax 37 00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:45.439 generators that are running at high outputs for very long periods. That can cause 38 00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:50.439 outages that can reduce generation. When you look at the cal ISO website, 39 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.919 they do a great job of keeping people informed. It's very easy to go 40 00:02:54.000 --> 00:03:00.280 see basically what the capacity is, what the expected demand is, and we've 41 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:05.400 kind of forecasted out over the course of a couple of days. We peak 42 00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:10.960 usually at about six o'clock six point thirty in the summer, and today that's 43 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:17.599 when they expect to have the highest amount of electricity usage. Is sometime between 44 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:23.840 six and seven o'clock. You've got people going home flipping on their air conditioners, 45 00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.680 dishwashers, washing machines, whatever they say. And of course they tell 46 00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.199 you to do that late at night. Not in the mid in the middle 47 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:32.639 of the day, but that's why people flipping on their lights and TVs and 48 00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:37.280 things like that. So that's why in about six six thirty in the evening 49 00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:42.599 is when in the summer, is why that's when you see the demand peak. 50 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:47.879 Now. The other nice thing about it is that even though the demand 51 00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:58.000 is high right about now, probably next hour or so, the net demand 52 00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.479 is relatively low and there's a big margin there because of the amount of solar 53 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:06.840 that is produced throughout the state of California. So we are well below they 54 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:12.479 I know they said that it could drive up power demand, but our capacity 55 00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:16.680 right now is almost fifty eight thousand megawats. Have we hit a flex alert 56 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:21.480 yet this week? Nope. I love a flex alert because then I don't 57 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:25.000 have to do things around the house. Oh. I thought you were gonna 58 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:29.319 say it's because petros and money start at one or something like that. Sure, 59 00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:32.399 or the show is it's different than the normal hours. Yeah, and 60 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:38.480 they might because the game starts at three. So when's that show on today? 61 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:40.519 I don't know. It's a good we have to get the flex alert 62 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:44.639 I find it out. But the capacity is about fifty eight thousand megawatts. 63 00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.600 They say the peak will only be at about forty five thousand, and that 64 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:53.839 they expected to be at six forty five tonight, So we're well below capacity 65 00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:57.480 in terms of the demand. But they're saying because this has continued for so 66 00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:01.560 long, the production is not as efficient as it should be or could be 67 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:05.480 at this time of year. But over the course of the next few days, 68 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:09.600 today is really the day they're most concerned about. Over the next several 69 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.360 days, we seem to have plenty of margin. So yeah, I think 70 00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:15.399 I'm not going to do laundry today, just to do my part for the 71 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.600 state of California and the power system. Right, I think I'm just gonna 72 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:23.120 leave it for another few days. I have a metric butt ton of laundry 73 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:26.800 to do it, do you and I? As long as I can push 74 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:29.199 it off for another day, I feel proud. Why do you have so 75 00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.560 much laundry built up? Because I'm lazy? You're lazy? Yep, yeah, 76 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:36.040 me too, also lazy. But we're in serving power for the greater 77 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:41.079 good. Yes, it's as if we're like we're bed rotting our way through 78 00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:46.399 through bed laundry. Bed Rotting does not take up any energy, zero. 79 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:50.680 You know, so just lie there and not doing laundry. It takes up 80 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:55.800 zero energy. Shannon, please tell me you didn't go to detox. That 81 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:59.480 would absolutely break my heart. That would make me feel like I'm the only 82 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:04.720 drunk let here. No, quite the opposite. Gary. I usually don't 83 00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:10.040 agree with you because I think you're kind of dumb. But you are spot 84 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:16.560 on with this Alick Baldwin coverage that you're doing that correct. Thank you is 85 00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.319 that you did? You just call from the other room, and maybe it's 86 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:27.160 so sometimes I feel dumb. I don't know. That's how I don't do 87 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.560 well to compliments. Compliments. He said. He doesn't agree with me all 88 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.399 the time because he thinks I'm dumb, but he said, in this case, 89 00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:40.160 you're spot on. That was a compliment. Well. City leaders here 90 00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:45.759 in Los Angeles have plans to close the road running through MacArthur Park to boost 91 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:50.279 more local access to green space. Do you know what happens when we're giving 92 00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:57.319 green space here in Los Angeles? We are given more homeless encampments, is 93 00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:02.480 what we're given. Residents who live there say, hey, instead of more 94 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:08.759 green space, why don't you do something about all the homelessness that exists there? 95 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:12.160 Already. Why don't you do something about all the homeless people that are 96 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.879 walking around like zombies rampant drug use? They say, do something about that 97 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.879 before you expand the space where people can be homeless and do all their drugs. 98 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:25.720 Reuben or Neo Rodriguez is a person who lives in the area. Secretary 99 00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:30.240 of the MacArthur Park Neighborhood Council says, I don't see Wilshire Boulevard crossing and 100 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:35.680 splitting the park as really a problem that needs a solution right the priority should 101 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:40.480 be making all of the park accessible to all people, specifically the Partner Alvarado, 102 00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:45.519 which is not very accessible because it has been overtaken by drug users. 103 00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:49.240 So why not expand the space where they can do their drugs? I mean, 104 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:55.480 who comes up with this stuff? She says Unices Hernandez. She is 105 00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:59.680 no stranger to the drug and homelessness crisis. In fact, last month she's 106 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:05.639 secure three million dollars to make it worse. How a respite center near the 107 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:11.480 park which will provide sterile drug supplies and the lock zone for those people who 108 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.720 have too much of it and referrals to housing and other services. As we've 109 00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:22.040 seen over and over and over and over and once again over again. If 110 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:31.680 you provide people with sterile drug using supplies drug using drug supplies, they will 111 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:35.840 continue to use and where do they get their drugs antithetical to solving the problem. 112 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:41.559 It shows that you don't actually care about those people. Because the example 113 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:46.120 I use all the time is if you come in here tomorrow, may you 114 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:52.279 Gary Hoffman and you're on heroin? Right? If I came in on Monday 115 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:58.240 and you're still on heroin, you've gone through it in the weekend, okay, 116 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:01.159 And I wouldn't you with a needle because I care about you. I'd 117 00:09:01.200 --> 00:09:05.159 throw you in a treatment facility. I want to say, here, there's 118 00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.519 more stuff to do your heroin with. I would hope not. I mean 119 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.240 I in the moment, I would hope you would provide me with some more 120 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:16.519 needles because I ran out or whatever. I don't know how you run out 121 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:18.200 of needles. Well, it's like you lose them. I would assume it's 122 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:22.000 all this. It's all this clean needle talk, right, like your needle 123 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.519 gets dirty and is that a Well, if it's my needle and I'm the 124 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:28.799 only one using it, then it's it's clean for me. I think if 125 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.600 you're not sharing your needles, you're in a good spot. People are gonna 126 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:35.919 just roast us. I can't wait. I can't wait to hear how stupid 127 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.440 we are that we don't know how to shoot ourselves up with heroin. The 128 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:45.279 Unicus Hernandez went so far as to hold a press conference to announce the Reconnecting 129 00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:48.559 MacArthur Park project, and the people who showed up said, I applaud all 130 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.639 the people that came out here today and here's the key. But what are 131 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:56.000 we going to do to clean out the park and clean out the fentinel use 132 00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:01.200 because that's the real problem. We don't need to see any more people dying 133 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:07.879 in MacArthur Park. How do you keep your needles clean? Little baby, 134 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:13.320 little baby amount of bleach and dress it out with water? And do you 135 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.039 have to do that every time you do the heroin? I'm going to say 136 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.799 no, because again, am I using it's my need I think it's just 137 00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:24.679 yours. You're not sharing it. I wrote a little G on the side 138 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:33.039 of it so you could tell it was mine and I share a needle the 139 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:39.080 MacArthur Park. Okay, so if it's contaminated with infected blood, that's where 140 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.279 you get a problem. So if you had it because your blood is infected, 141 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:45.720 and then you were nice enough to share it with me, I would 142 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:50.000 probably want to try to stain it. Probably, but since your focus is 143 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:54.000 on doing heroin, it's probably not going to be top of mind. I'll 144 00:10:54.120 --> 00:11:01.919 excuse your infections in order to get hot so hepatitis, HIV all through sharing 145 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:07.039 the needles. You No, not you, you're saying if if somebody right. 146 00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.840 MacArthur Park, by the way, is that the epicenter of the overdose 147 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:16.559 epidemic in Los Angeles? Two years ago, there were eighty four fentanyl deaths 148 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:24.639 recorded in the one square mile zip code surrounding MacArthur Park, far higher than 149 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.480 any other zip code in La County. Eighty four fentanyl deaths. And the 150 00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:33.679 thing you want to do is close the street at a cost of three million 151 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:39.720 dollars. However, two and a half million dollars. It's it's unbelievable, 152 00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:43.399 the idea that you would fix a problem that does not exist. The problem 153 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:50.720 is not traffic on Willshire. No, that's insane. Thankfully, it's only 154 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:54.279 in the planning stages. Although there is a two million dollar grant from the 155 00:11:54.320 --> 00:12:01.759 Department of Transportations, renect Reconnecting Communities pilot it sounds crooked, and then a 156 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:07.279 half a half a million from the SoCal Association of Governments Sustainable Communities Program so 157 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.000 traffic analysis, community outreach studies, and hopefully the people who live in that 158 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:15.159 neighborhood who do not want to see people die a fentanyl on a You know. 159 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:16.960 That's the nice thing is they could They could die in the middle of 160 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:22.399 the street without running getting run over because traffic will be blocked off. That's 161 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.919 the nice thing. I'm super excited to get our needle feedback. I just 162 00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:33.360 want to say, Gary is not down. I am. Yeah, I'll 163 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:35.720 take that one as a I don't think you're dumb. Could that sound not 164 00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:41.279 genuine? It did not sound genuine at all. I was trying so hard, 165 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:46.799 so genuine which to go backfires. I could hear your throat clench. 166 00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:54.120 I'm like this, you like this. The City of Sacramento has an attorney 167 00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:58.480 named Susanna Alcala Wood. She is the city Attorney for the Great City of 168 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:05.759 sacrament The Sacramento Bee has an article that the legal department under her office has 169 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:16.039 threatened to find target for public nuisance after several calls to police because thieves were 170 00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.559 stealing from the target in Land Park. You know where that is? I 171 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:24.639 know exactly where that, Yeah, Riverside. I used to play in the 172 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:33.039 dumb radio station softball league at a park right next to it. The only 173 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.720 people in the stands it would come to watch our games were the homeless people 174 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.240 in Land Park, and there were a lot of them. Drew quite the 175 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.840 crown. One corner of the park was the Sacramento City Fire Department, and 176 00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:48.600 they were regular visitors as well, because people would often fall off of the 177 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.639 stands in some sort of stupor that they happened to be in. But this 178 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:56.559 give you an idea of kind of the neighborhood that this target happens to be 179 00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:03.720 in, just south of downtown Sacramento. Now, the target on Riverside Boulevard 180 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:15.679 in Land Park was warned that they would be given an administrative fine if they 181 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:24.559 continued to call in to the police department thefts of their property. What is 182 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:31.639 the thought process behind the gret question? They will not explain as of yet. 183 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:37.519 The city attorney in Sacramento, Susann a'l Calla Wood, has not explained 184 00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:43.600 to any media outlet why they would issue a warning like that, now you 185 00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:48.080 can you can cut it? Is it because the police department's hands are tied 186 00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:52.639 and the city's hands are tied with Prop forty seven, and they're not able 187 00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:58.919 to process people or or or charge them because it's it's under nine and fifty. 188 00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:05.799 That is possible. But the ten thousand foot look at this is described 189 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:13.480 by California Republican Assembly Leader James Gallagher. He said Newsome, obviously referring to 190 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:18.480 Gavin Newsom. Newsom keeps insisting that reports of theft are dropping. Well, 191 00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:22.360 now we know why. Not only are thieves let off without even a slap 192 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:28.799 on the wrist, but now the victims are being threatened for even reporting crimes. 193 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:33.159 If this is a political thing, if this is for what that reason 194 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:39.000 he outlines is that is a real problem. If you're trying to manipulate crime 195 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.480 stats to make it look like this is actually a law and order society in 196 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:50.919 California. That should be criminal right, that should come with a fine criminal 197 00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:54.440 defense attorney and listen, I don't have a lot of love lost for criminal 198 00:15:54.480 --> 00:16:00.120 defense attorneys in general. But Nicole Castronovo weighed in on this matter. She 199 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:07.080 said, Californians politicians in California are leaving citizens out to dry because crime begets 200 00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:10.440 crime, and she goes on to say lawmakers have allowed smash and grab robberies 201 00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:14.759 to terrorize our cities. As a consequence, retailers are leaving major cities and 202 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:17.879 droves and taking jobs with them. Yeah, why not drive target out? 203 00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:22.080 And this is a criminal defense attorney who was saying this. Her job is 204 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.960 to defend the people who are accused of these types of things. So again, 205 00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:32.759 I don't know why it is. They have not yet explained why target 206 00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:37.360 that got that warning that they could be fined for reporting thefts multiple times or 207 00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:41.720 less in those location just south of Sacramento. You know what, I read 208 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.279 this story about bed rotting. I was going to go after millennials and gen 209 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:49.519 z ers for doing just that, just wasting the way the day away in 210 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:55.480 bed. But now I understand after that story why you just want to get 211 00:16:55.559 --> 00:17:00.799 under the covers and not leave the bed and hope that nobody smashes through the 212 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.000 sliding glass door in the backyard and robes to rob your house because you'll get 213 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:07.240 in trouble for calling the police. Apparently in California, well, you can't 214 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:14.960 shoot back no, can't defend your property. What else are we gonna do? 215 00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:18.920 It's okay, we'll be fat. Everything's fine, it's fine, Everything 216 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:22.079 is fine. Dodgers are taking on the Phillies today in Philadelphia. First pitches 217 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:25.160 at three oh five. Did you see Key k Hernandez had to pitch the 218 00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:26.240 eighth inning the other night? No, I love it when that happened. 219 00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:30.079 An in a third as r A is down to like sixteen and a half, 220 00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:33.799 So that's good. Uh. Listen to every play of every Dodgers game 221 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:37.519 on AM five seventy LA Sports and stream all the games n HD on the 222 00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:41.759 iHeartRadio app. Use the keyword AM five seven LA Sports powered by LA Care 223 00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.559 get in the game all of LA. We love La. We love La. 224 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:48.759 We've got a couple of talkbacks to tell you about your heroin. Shin 225 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:57.480 m Cook the heroin. Oh no, and you take it in the needle. 226 00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:04.720 It image is the needle. You need a new needle every time. 227 00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:11.279 I'm never talking about Heroina. That was terrified. Good thing. Those Faratu 228 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:15.000 knows how to use the iHeart app. Hey guys about the needle thing. 229 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:19.440 You can reuse the needle for some use. It doesn't make it dirty. 230 00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:25.000 But if you don't clean it with like a little bit of bleach and water, 231 00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:29.480 any blood in there can go bad and then you're, you know, 232 00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:34.960 messing yourself up with your own blood. I've been using I was using heroin 233 00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:38.079 since I was fourteen. I'm forty now. I stopped when I was twenty 234 00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:42.000 eight. Good or two? Be safe? All right, thank you, 235 00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:47.039 good for you. I'm done with that topic. I think, oh you 236 00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:49.359 are. Yeah, okay, I took a dark turn your Now your notebook 237 00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:55.200 is filled with all of your heroin safety procedures. That's good. That's good. 238 00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:02.160 Millennials and gen zers are taking advantage of the day off days and their 239 00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:06.079 weekends by bed rotting. This is bad because you know what they're doing. 240 00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:12.640 Probably when they're bed rotting decomposing. They're just scrolling. Yeah, decomposing physically 241 00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:18.960 and mentally decomposing. I love the idea of it. I love the idea 242 00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:22.880 of being able to sleep in longer than you do, Like the Saturdays and 243 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:26.680 Sundays. You don't have to go anymore. We get to be a certain 244 00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:30.200 age and we just wake up. It's not impossible to sleep in. I 245 00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:37.000 don't even know if it's that. It's it's that I'm I feel awful if 246 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:41.240 I don't do something that's good. That's a good thing, that's I mean, 247 00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:44.599 I even if I'll on a Saturday, for example, I'll make a 248 00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:48.640 sandwich and I'll sit down and I'll turn on a football game or a baseball 249 00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.400 game or golf or something. Right, there's some sporting event on TV. 250 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:55.640 And I'll sit on the couch and I'll eat, and then I'll go, 251 00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:59.160 yeah, but those guys are out there doing something and I'm sitting on my 252 00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:03.839 couch doing nothing, And then I got I feel guilty and I feel stupid, 253 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:07.519 and really yeah for eating a sandwich. Well, I mean just that 254 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:11.920 there's so much that I could be doing right now instead of sitting on my 255 00:20:11.039 --> 00:20:15.720 fat What do you expect of yourself? You need to be gentler. Well 256 00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:19.480 that's very nice, But the idea of laying on a couch again not sick. 257 00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:22.759 Sick is a holy totally different thing. You're sick, you don't feel 258 00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:27.480 good, I understand. But on a perfectly normal day, when you're otherwise 259 00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:33.400 perfectly healthy and capable of doing something and you lay around all day, it 260 00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:36.599 just feels awful. Yeah, Well, you don't feel good at the end 261 00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:38.759 of it day o'clock and you're like, what, wait, what did I 262 00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:44.559 do today? Yeah? I moved from that arm of the couch to that 263 00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:47.160 arm of the couch. Well, maybe you should go to home depot and 264 00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:51.599 get a project going. You know, isn't there a project you can do 265 00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:56.680 at the house? Probably could resand something sand bring out the old dresser and 266 00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:00.880 sand it and painted. No, those never turn out the way you want 267 00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:04.039 them to. Well, only because you don't put enough outy, that's what 268 00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:07.200 it is. Maybe I'm laying around too much, dear. Yeah, maybe 269 00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:17.599 it's fewer sandwiches, more sanding. Bedrodding they said could disrupt your circadian rhythm, 270 00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:21.119 your natural alarm clock. Of course, you think it's one of those 271 00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:23.279 things that you think is going to make you happy. I'm going to do 272 00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:26.960 nothing today. I've earned it. I've had a you know, I've worked 273 00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:30.119 Monday to Friday Saturday. I'm just gonna lie around and do nothing. I've 274 00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:33.680 earned it. I have some me time. And you think it's going to 275 00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:36.680 make you happy. But like you said, at the end of the day, 276 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:40.680 what did I do today? It doesn't make you happy. Johns Hopkins 277 00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:47.200 University actually says too much sleep is associated with health issues, heart disease, 278 00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:52.839 obesity, depression. Extended time staring at your phone or your TV can cause 279 00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:56.680 eyestrained sleep, disturbance, poor mental health. And when you sleep too much, 280 00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:03.759 binge watching new series or get lost in social media, you aren't actually 281 00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:08.279 resting. I mean, your body is physically, you know, prone sometimes, 282 00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:14.920 but you're not actually resting in those cases, You're just distracting yourself from 283 00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:18.400 whatever it else, from whatever it is that you should be doing, whether 284 00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:23.319 it's dealing with problems or work or homework or whatever. And in line with 285 00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:29.799 our wellness check up here on the Garan Scheninchew, there was a dietitian that 286 00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:34.240 wrote, there's one ultra processed food I never consume. The dietitian says, 287 00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:40.960 I would never consume soda. Really, soda doesn't have any nutritional value other 288 00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:44.759 than just calories in the form of sugar. Empty calories. They don't give 289 00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:48.400 us any nutrients, she says. When you drink soda, it's digested very 290 00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:51.920 quickly. It can cause you to feel hungry, which can lead you to 291 00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:56.440 eat more food than you plan to. She says, just drink tea water 292 00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:00.839 still or sparkling she's fun. In part. He's a lot of fun, 293 00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:04.559 isn't she. Sometimes I drink a cold hibiscus tea plain water. Of course, 294 00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:10.039 it's a great alternative. No, no, coffee can be an option. 295 00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:15.519 Water alternative to soda. Those are very different things. I have been 296 00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:19.920 on a kick lately where I like the idea of uh, say, Celsius 297 00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:23.279 drinks. You know, those kind of little caffeinated little boop in the in 298 00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:27.960 the afternoon, a little little, a little, a little less than cocaine, 299 00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:33.039 but a little more than a soda. Yeah, I don't like those 300 00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:37.240 things because I feel like they're full of chemicals. Well, that's an issue, 301 00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:45.720 and I'm trying to find a great alternative. Nobody wants him on kombucha. 302 00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:49.880 You should see what he eats. That is no fun. It is 303 00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:55.640 no lemona. It's delicious. Yeah, and it's also probiotic. I guess 304 00:23:56.160 --> 00:23:57.839 after you drink that, how long until you go to the bathroom? You 305 00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:03.240 know what it does? It doesn't do anything for me moments with all that 306 00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:07.519 veggy stuff too. Now you have control over your institution, Good for you. 307 00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:15.880 But I'm open to a good soda alternative. I just gave you one. 308 00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:21.039 I'm not listening to you. What about like poppy or lollipop? I 309 00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:22.559 have not tried those, but are those supposed to be good? Those are 310 00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.960 really good? Like they have interesting flavors, but they're very delicious. Is 311 00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:30.960 it a seltzer thing? It's like a probiotic soda. So let's stop. 312 00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:37.839 Though. Gary does not like gut health My gut is what are you talking 313 00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:41.839 about? I have the guts of a Haitian street dog. I'm fine. 314 00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:47.119 Well, maybe we could make it healthier in there. It's not unhealthy. 315 00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:52.240 I eat everything. Okay, Wow, I know, I know all right. 316 00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:56.720 Coming up next, swamp watch. Oh my goodness, the swamp is 317 00:24:56.759 --> 00:25:02.599 overflowing today, isn't it. Yeah, it's a swamp add strawberry lemonade, 318 00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:06.559 kombucha. Would you like to try some? Oh? I can't wait. 319 00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:08.240 A shot I will have. I will go in there and be poor a 320 00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:11.240 little and cup I'll drink it. Yeah there, I'll run straight to the 321 00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:17.079 bathroom.
