Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app. This was the year when yesterday
Speaker 1: we were sitting out there before the show and I go,
Speaker 1: tomorrow is my anniversary and you were like uh oh,
Speaker 1: and I said, I don't even know what to do.
Speaker 1: And I look it up. I'm like, what is this anniversary?
Speaker 1: It's like lace or text tiles. I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't want a time for lace and textiles this afternoon.
Speaker 2: And so where do I procure lace and textiles? You know?
Speaker 2: Do I just wrap up a pair of underwear or something?
Speaker 2: What am I going to do? And so I was
Speaker 2: a failure. I failed, and I was able to.
Speaker 1: I had gotten my husband his birthdays a couple months off,
Speaker 1: and I had gotten him a birthday present early just
Speaker 1: because of Prime Day, so that worked out. I just
Speaker 1: wrapped that thing up yesterday afternoon, put a bag at
Speaker 1: eminem on there he likes em and M's, and called
Speaker 1: it a day.
Speaker 2: And he knew I forgot, Like he knew.
Speaker 1: He knew yesterday that I had forgotten because I said
Speaker 1: something like, what do you have going on this week?
Speaker 2: I'm like, so, what you have Tuesday?
Speaker 1: He usually goes and sees his dad on Tuesday, and
Speaker 1: I go, so you're not going to go see him
Speaker 1: on Tuesday.
Speaker 2: He's like no. I'm like why. He's like, I don't know.
Speaker 2: It just felt like going Wednesday. And I'm like cool.
Speaker 2: He tricked me like hell he was assisting. Are you
Speaker 2: being awful?
Speaker 1: So anyway, this morning I go into the kitchen and
Speaker 1: he has thoughtful gifts lined up and uh, and I
Speaker 1: had the unthoughtful gift that I had wrapped.
Speaker 3: Would have been even better if you just left it
Speaker 3: in the Amazon box, right, He.
Speaker 1: Well, he said, he said, you're you're opening this now.
Speaker 1: I go, no, let's do it later. He's like no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not giving you an opportunity to go somewhere and
Speaker 1: buy something this afternoon.
Speaker 2: So it was very thoughtful.
Speaker 1: But then he had this on the counter, which was
Speaker 1: my real gift. That was from his fantasy draft that
Speaker 1: he had with his friends yesterday. It is a color
Speaker 1: coded draft sheet with all of his picks his draft order.
Speaker 2: So which ones are his pick? I don't know his system? Well,
Speaker 2: his picks are the ones he checked off. Oh got it.
Speaker 1: Okay, but I mean the seriousness with which he took
Speaker 1: that draft, like that is like love to me, like that,
Speaker 1: that is like the biggest turn on.
Speaker 3: I think he put three and fifty names on me.
Speaker 1: I know he took that very color coded and everything,
Speaker 1: and I'm like a little bit. I was like, this
Speaker 1: is my gift. I needed nothing else but this. But
Speaker 1: here's just the thing. I mean, don't get married close
Speaker 1: to football season. I was a concern when I got married.
Speaker 1: I'm not thinking clearly at this time of year. I'm
Speaker 1: way too excited. I'm preoccupied. And I remember feeling that
Speaker 1: way the week of my wedding because the forty nine
Speaker 1: Ers had a preseason game that was going to happen
Speaker 1: at five. I was supposed to get married at five.
Speaker 1: I'm like, do I have it on the in the
Speaker 1: room or do I have this on? I know it's
Speaker 1: preseason sound down right right right? That was crazy to
Speaker 1: have to sound on. But I knew it was going
Speaker 1: to be a problem back then, thirteen years ago, and
Speaker 1: it remains a problem. That is, I'm a bad person,
Speaker 1: and I understand, well, I have anniversary, thank you.
Speaker 3: There is a significant issue that I'm amazed isn't getting
Speaker 3: more attention. And this is this Mark Zuckerberg letter that
Speaker 3: he wrote to the House Judiciary Committee. It is an
Speaker 3: admission that he gave in to pressure from the Biden
Speaker 3: administration from the government in general, but it happened to
Speaker 3: be the Biden administration censoring content in twenty twenty one
Speaker 3: related to COVID and said going forward, we will not
Speaker 3: bow to pressure. City did not plan to repeat any
Speaker 3: efforts to fund nonprofits to a state to assist in
Speaker 3: state election efforts, et cetera, which Republicans were saying, said
Speaker 3: we're tipping the scale. So he said, fine, I'm not
Speaker 3: going to give anybody any money when it comes to
Speaker 3: these state elections efforts. He wrote this letter to Jim Jordan,
Speaker 3: who is the chair of the House Judiciary Committee. Talks
Speaker 3: on a bunch of different controversies specifically, but the public
Speaker 3: stated goal from Facebook was to push millions of people
Speaker 3: towards the COVID vaccines, and Zuckerberg didn't actually say whether
Speaker 3: he changed his mind about that goal or whether he
Speaker 3: felt that the administration had gone too far. Because there
Speaker 3: were some debates between Facebook or Meta and the White
Speaker 3: House over the content including and this is where it
Speaker 3: gets crazy, including humor and satire that the government thought
Speaker 3: was going to be detrimental to their efforts to have
Speaker 3: everybody get the code.
Speaker 2: Why did he bow down to this at the time?
Speaker 1: And clearly it's stuck with him because he's it seems
Speaker 1: he's been.
Speaker 2: Perseverating about this.
Speaker 1: He said that the pressure from the administration was wrong,
Speaker 1: and I regret that we were not more outspoken about it.
Speaker 3: I just feel like so much of what we knew
Speaker 3: or how about this, so much of what we didn't know,
Speaker 3: so much of what we thought we yeah, has proven
Speaker 3: to be completely wrong or at least questionable. And that
Speaker 3: was the thing about COVID and that social media accounts
Speaker 3: was and the pressure from the government was you weren't
Speaker 3: even allowed to question things, or question sign or question.
Speaker 2: Is this long enough to test a vaccine? Seems really fast?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: You couldn't do that. You would be thrown off the
Speaker 3: social media platforms. The other thing is he said that
Speaker 3: the FBI came to him him being Facebook, and told
Speaker 3: him that the Hunter Biden laptop and all those stories
Speaker 3: about Hunter Biden and Barisma, etc. Were probably Russian disinformation.
Speaker 3: So what Facebook did was they demoted those stories. They
Speaker 3: wouldn't promote them, they wouldn't allow them to be shared,
Speaker 3: et cetera. We saw that on Twitter because they said
Speaker 3: they were fact checking them at the time. Well, now
Speaker 3: we know it's obviously real. The laptop was real, all
Speaker 3: the information on it was real. And he said, we
Speaker 3: won't do that again in the event that we have
Speaker 3: a story where we feel we have to fact check it.
Speaker 3: I don't know who makes that decision. They won't demote it,
Speaker 3: They'll allow it to go on and if in the
Speaker 3: event it turns out to be false, they would obviously
Speaker 3: promote that as well.
Speaker 1: Certificate of Completion it says this certificate has been awarded
Speaker 1: to Gary Hoffman two ends for completing positive workplace preventing
Speaker 1: harassment at work.
Speaker 2: I haven't finished yet.
Speaker 3: It took seventeen and a half hours. Again I have
Speaker 3: that was your as.
Speaker 1: Looks great most pamps. You can't say that I haven't
Speaker 1: gotten to that part yet. Well when you when you
Speaker 1: get I'm just kidding, I haven't even looked at my butt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you, You're welcome. I guess I feel safer now
Speaker 1: or something.
Speaker 2: A couple of.
Speaker 3: Stories that we are that we are following Today, Special
Speaker 3: counsel Jack Smith has asked a federal appeals court to
Speaker 3: revive the criminal case, accusing Trump of retaining classified documents.
Speaker 3: Smith and his team urged the Eleventh Circuit Court of
Speaker 3: Appeals to overturn the ruling by Judge Alien Cannon. She
Speaker 3: concluded that Smith was unlawfully appointed and didn't have the
Speaker 3: legal authority to bring the case. She didn't argue the
Speaker 3: merits of the case. She just said that he was
Speaker 3: appointed wrong. Oh did you see we have a Koffifi
Speaker 3: Part two?
Speaker 2: I don't remember what.
Speaker 3: President Trump was tweeting something and he wrote koffifi and
Speaker 3: it ended like yeah, yeah, got interrupted with something.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Last night he posted on truth Social.
Speaker 3: These are great patriots who work their hearts out to
Speaker 3: have a strong and powerful border, only to be harassed
Speaker 3: by borders.
Speaker 2: Ar Kamala Harris, who wants the.
Speaker 3: And then it ended powerful power f U l n
Speaker 3: n Z powerful.
Speaker 2: Then he deleted it. Do you want the sloth fever update? Sure?
Speaker 2: A little like monkey pocks. Sloth fever. Yes, a little.
Speaker 1: Known disease in this part of the world called sloth
Speaker 1: fever is causing concern across the country. The CDC says
Speaker 1: Florida has reported nine cases in a week. New York
Speaker 1: has one confirmed case. All the cases are related to
Speaker 1: international travel, which health experts warn is a troubling sign
Speaker 1: as people return home from summer vacations.
Speaker 2: Cloth fever can be deadly.
Speaker 1: It's well known in Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Columbia, and Cuba.
Speaker 2: It's spread by the.
Speaker 1: Our pushe virus and transmits from forest animals like sloths,
Speaker 1: to rodents, then mosquitoes, and finally to people. Symptoms of
Speaker 1: sloth fever include fever, sensitivity to light, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting.
Speaker 3: Ta huh huh No diarrhea.
Speaker 2: Usually diarrhea is always there, right, He's mixed in there.
Speaker 2: It's always a symptom of something, all right, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Pavel, Carry and Shannon, there's something weird about this Zuckerbird thing.
Speaker 4: He's saying he was pressured by the White House. He
Speaker 4: wasn't pressured by Donald Trump's White House to put forth
Speaker 4: the disinformation about Hunter's laptop. Right, Biden wasn't president when
Speaker 4: he was pressured about that, So there's something weird there.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 3: The letter specifically says, in twenty twenty one, senior officials
Speaker 3: from the Biden administration pressured the team for months to
Speaker 3: certain to censor certain COVID nineteen content.
Speaker 2: Different paragraph, same letter.
Speaker 3: He says in a separate situation, the FBI warned us
Speaker 3: about a potential Russian disinformation operation about the Biden family
Speaker 3: in Barisma. So yes, it was the FBI under the
Speaker 3: Trump administration, but he doesn't say that the pressure came
Speaker 3: from the White House. He says the information came from
Speaker 3: the FBI at the time.
Speaker 1: Just to clarify, Pavel drov is the elusive founder of Telegram.
Speaker 1: Telegram is one of those secret apps, right, it's so encryptied.
Speaker 3: I had to double check this because the way I
Speaker 3: wanted to describe it social media. Sorry, Twitter is a
Speaker 3: social media platform that allows you to share messages basically
Speaker 3: with everybody. Telegram is more like WhatsApp. Have you send
Speaker 3: messages back and forth to someone intentionally or they have
Speaker 3: to subscribe to your content before they can see it.
Speaker 1: End to end encryption keeps communications between users secure, even
Speaker 1: from the company's employees. Well, the problem with stuff like
Speaker 1: this is the sikos are going to use it, right,
Speaker 1: the child porn proliferators.
Speaker 2: Shall we say, and terrorists and terrorists.
Speaker 3: So what he's being accused of, what Pavel Durev is
Speaker 3: being accused of, is not putting any sort of controls
Speaker 3: on the platform itself. And his argument is I'm not
Speaker 3: the one posting child pornography or terrorist scride screeds or whatever.
Speaker 3: And the question I guess is where does his responsibility
Speaker 3: come in. I mean, it's a great fundamental question. I
Speaker 3: don't know if there's an answer to it in our
Speaker 3: society as of yet, because social media hasn't existed like
Speaker 3: I mean, it didn't exist like this when we originally
Speaker 3: came up with the idea the principle of freedom of speech.
Speaker 1: He is a fascinating cat nicknamed the Russian Zuckerberg. He's
Speaker 1: boasted of being the biological father of more than one
Speaker 1: hundred children. He is also in cryptocurrency. They say he
Speaker 1: has a multi billion dollar fortune and he has gotten
Speaker 1: into it with authorities in Russia and around the world.
Speaker 1: Is a shot to fame in Russia in his twenties
Speaker 1: after founding a different social network catered to the needs
Speaker 1: of Russian language user's outgunned Facebook throughout Russia.
Speaker 3: Interesting because this is also I mean, obviously he is
Speaker 3: Russian by birth. He lived in Italy, I think, for
Speaker 3: most of his life, but is persona non grata in
Speaker 3: Russia because of the use of telegram by Ukrainian military unit.
Speaker 3: They use it specifically to communicate with each other and
Speaker 3: to get information out about what it is that they're
Speaker 3: doing against the Russians.
Speaker 1: He is not shy of posting messages on his own
Speaker 1: telegram channel, claiming to lead a solitary life, abstaining from meat, alcohol,
Speaker 1: even coffee. Always dressed in black. They say he cultivates
Speaker 1: a resemblance to Keanu Reeves and the Matrix. He said
Speaker 1: the reason that he's father to more than one hundred
Speaker 1: children sperm donations in a dozen countries. He described this
Speaker 1: as a civic duty and an attitude to parenting that
Speaker 1: is reminiscent of Elon Musk.
Speaker 2: Well, one hundred kids seems like a lot, doesn't Well,
Speaker 2: Elon Musk basically has one hundred kids.
Speaker 3: No, he's got like six, but he's named them numbers,
Speaker 3: So yeah, maybe one of his kids is named one hundred.
Speaker 3: The argument about what a secure messaging platform is and
Speaker 3: should be is what Pavl drev has kind of made
Speaker 3: his life about. He talks about Telegram when he developed it,
Speaker 3: he wanted Telegram to be the most secure messaging platform
Speaker 3: out there.
Speaker 2: Elon Musk has twelve children. Oh twelve.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had six with his first wife, three with
Speaker 1: his ex girlfriend, and three with his colleague. Colleague, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Neuralink executive Chavon Zillis.
Speaker 2: He seems like a pretty romantic guy. No, you don't
Speaker 2: think so, not for me. I don't think he color
Speaker 2: codes his draft.
Speaker 3: I'm sure he has some fun idiosyncrasies. But Pavel Durov said,
Speaker 3: if you compromise by putting a back door in these
Speaker 3: for governments where they can come in and check out,
Speaker 3: you know, to break the encryption, basically, it would undermine
Speaker 3: any sort of appeal that the company had to the market,
Speaker 3: and it would completely undermine their commitment to privacy. He said,
Speaker 3: you can't make it safe against criminals and open for governments.
Speaker 3: It's either secure or it's not secure.
Speaker 2: So got some mail? I like that? What kind of mail?
Speaker 2: It's just a little.
Speaker 1: Note card here? Yeah, it says dear Gary and Shannon. Hello,
Speaker 1: I really enjoy your show. I could kind of use
Speaker 1: your help. Oh, I like helping, Yeah people should we
Speaker 1: get music for this?
Speaker 2: Helping people?
Speaker 5: Music.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, let me see if I can turn it
Speaker 2: up a lot.
Speaker 1: I could kind of use your help. San Bernardino City
Speaker 1: Library has suspended all of their system. Excuse me, San
Speaker 1: Bernardino City Library system. All of their libraries have had
Speaker 1: no Wi Fi, no Internet, no public computers since October
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty three. Exclamation point wow, their phone number,
Speaker 1: and then he gives us the phone number. This is
Speaker 1: very bad for people and San Bernardino, he writes, who
Speaker 1: need computers to get a job or deal with healthcare, etc.
Speaker 1: I wrote Joe Biden. I wrote Joe Biden and a
Speaker 1: US senator about this. Okay, Sam bernard you know, library
Speaker 1: people don't seem to care.
Speaker 2: Thanks.
Speaker 1: So this guy wrote to the President of the United States.
Speaker 2: Didn't get a response, so he wrote to Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 2: I'm flattered. I am very flattered. Why would they turn
Speaker 2: off for their WiFi?
Speaker 1: Is it a I don't know, but do you really
Speaker 1: think it's for healthcare and or to get a job,
Speaker 1: or if it's for watching the Sexy Times?
Speaker 2: Sometimes they don't allow that on those lines. Oh there's
Speaker 2: ways around it, really, yep? Do you pobl durov?
Speaker 3: Now just go on telegram Kamala Harris leads Donald Trump
Speaker 3: by four points in a new poll from Morning Consult.
Speaker 3: The bad news about that for Democrats is it's exactly
Speaker 3: the same lead she had before the convention in that
Speaker 3: same Morning Consult poll, So they said that that four
Speaker 3: percent lead forty eight percent to forty four percent Harris
Speaker 3: over Trump didn't move at all despite the convention and
Speaker 3: her speech last Thursday.
Speaker 1: NFL's roster cut deadline is today. Every team must trim
Speaker 1: their rosters down from ninety to fifty three players by four.
Speaker 2: Pm Eastern one PM. Our team.
Speaker 1: A lot of teams began making cuts yesterday after the
Speaker 1: final preseason games were played over the weekend. It's fifty
Speaker 1: three players, but they get seventeen on their practice squad,
Speaker 1: so it's really a team of seventy.
Speaker 2: It's seventeen. I thought it would have been bigger than that.
Speaker 3: No, speaking of a holes, did you hear how big
Speaker 3: an a hole Bradley Whitford is. Remember Bradley Whitford, the
Speaker 3: actor from West Wing, among other things. You would recognize
Speaker 3: his face. Go ahead and look him up while I
Speaker 3: tell you what he did.
Speaker 2: He is.
Speaker 3: He's speaking his mind after Robert F. Kennedy Junior endorsed
Speaker 3: Donald Trump last week.
Speaker 2: Robert F. Kennedy Junior is.
Speaker 3: Married to Cheryl Hines, who most recently was on Curby
Speaker 3: Your Enthusiasm.
Speaker 2: She's been on other things too.
Speaker 3: She's not really political in nature and obviously hasn't been
Speaker 3: very high profile when it comes to her husband's concage.
Speaker 2: He played Josh on the West Wing.
Speaker 3: Yes, okay, here's what Bradley Whitford wrote to Cheryl Hines
Speaker 3: on Twitter over the weekend. Hey, Cheryl Hines, way to
Speaker 3: stay silent while your lunatic husband throws his support behind
Speaker 3: the adjudicated rapist who brags about stripping women of their
Speaker 3: fundamental rights. Gutsy, great example for the kids, profile and courage.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: So why would he go after her because she didn't
Speaker 3: I don't know, because she didn't divorce Robert F. Kennedy
Speaker 3: Junior when he endorsed somebody else for president.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: I mean it was a I've never seen somebody fully
Speaker 3: take off their masks scoo do villain style and prove
Speaker 3: that they are a complete a hole right there on
Speaker 3: Twitter too.
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about him as his mos.
Speaker 3: Super politically active, super and and you know other people
Speaker 3: are idiots.
Speaker 2: He's he kind of rubbed me the wrong way on
Speaker 2: the West Wing.
Speaker 1: Well, sometimes people's selves show through their roles.
Speaker 3: What's proof is that other things that he's done as well.
Speaker 3: He's not acting. He's just an a hole. He plays
Speaker 3: a bad guy like that. That's smarminess.
Speaker 1: Okay, so there is a conspiracy theory about Tim Walls's dog, Scout.
Speaker 1: Apparently he posted a picture like everybody else in the
Speaker 1: world for National Dog Day and there was him and Scout.
Speaker 2: Beautiful dog, beautiful dog.
Speaker 1: That the problem is is he posted a picture with
Speaker 1: another dog recently.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, and it was not Scout.
Speaker 1: So they're saying that he is faking the dog ownership,
Speaker 1: that he doesn't really have a named Scout, that he's
Speaker 1: just throwing dogs up there just for popularity points. The
Speaker 1: trouble is conspiracy theorists, and listen, I love a good
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory. It's my new thing. But he was at
Speaker 1: a dog park. He had taken Scout to a dog park,
Speaker 1: and what do you find. You find out dog parks,
Speaker 1: find other dogs. How's Peter doing with other dogs?
Speaker 2: He's fine, he loves them. Oh good, he loves Fergus
Speaker 2: wasn't as big a fan.
Speaker 3: No, no, but Fergus also didn't have littermates sing.
Speaker 2: I see, so that explains a lot Peter, at least
Speaker 2: the littermates. Yeah.
Speaker 3: In this case, Dustin Grage is a guy who wrote,
Speaker 3: I guess he's a columnist for town Hall, and he
Speaker 3: put this up on Twitter and he says, yes, this
Speaker 3: is Tim Walls tweeting about his dog, Scout. The only
Speaker 3: problem is that these are two completely different dogs. The
Speaker 3: second tweet, okay, the first one, like you said, is
Speaker 3: a celebration of Scout's birthday.
Speaker 2: This big, beautiful black lab.
Speaker 3: The second one of three four months later, says, couldn't
Speaker 3: think of a better way to spend a beautiful day,
Speaker 3: a beautiful fall day, fall day, than.
Speaker 2: At the park dog park. Why can't I read?
Speaker 3: I know Scout enjoyed it, but it's a picture of
Speaker 3: someone else's dog that he's petting. Now, it's easy to
Speaker 3: prove because the video of his day at the dog
Speaker 3: park is still available and you can see Scout, the
Speaker 3: big black lab clearly visible in the field with all
Speaker 3: of the other dogs at the dog park. It's just
Speaker 3: that this picture was a fun picture of him face
Speaker 3: to face with someone else's dog.
Speaker 1: Uh, let me just interg Oh, we're out a time.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we have time to just talk
Speaker 1: about sexual harassment and what constitutes it.
Speaker 3: You have no idea how eager I am to hear
Speaker 3: what you have to say. We've been in the midst,
Speaker 3: by the way, you and I have been in the
Speaker 3: midst of taking this state mandated sexual harassment training through
Speaker 3: the company. We headed on for three and a half
Speaker 3: hours yesterday and still didn't complete it.
Speaker 2: I didn't finish it until this morning. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Breaking news out of the Mideast, The IDF says they
Speaker 3: have rescued a hostage that was taken by Hamas last October.
Speaker 3: Kayid Faran al Kadi is said to be in good health.
Speaker 3: He's being cared for at a hospital. They just announced
Speaker 3: this rescue today. There are estimated to be more than
Speaker 3: one hundred hostages still in Gaza, at least thirty of
Speaker 3: whom are presumed dead by Israeli authorities.
Speaker 5: Hey, Garyan Channon, Now I'm really confused because I saw
Speaker 5: a video of JD. Vance on an airplane with his dog,
Speaker 5: who is a German shepherd, prancing up and down the
Speaker 5: stairs and walking without a leash, nicely alongside of him.
Speaker 5: So I don't understand this scout black lab thing. To
Speaker 5: my knowledge, he has a German shepherd.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, there's the wrong vice presidential candidate. There's one
Speaker 1: thing that that's the one part.
Speaker 3: The second part is, but you know that much about
Speaker 3: the vice presidential candidate's dogs.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people know more about the
Speaker 1: dogs than they do about the people.
Speaker 2: People love dogs more than people. That may be true.
Speaker 6: Oh, garign I was a libraryanver fifteen years and let
Speaker 6: me tell you about the sexy time in the back
Speaker 6: with the computers. Of course they're in the back.
Speaker 2: It was bad.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's all I can say. And if somebody complained
Speaker 6: about it, it's like, well, what.
Speaker 2: You can't do anything about it. I did a story
Speaker 2: about that.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I won't go any further than that. But boy,
Speaker 6: it was crazy. So yeah, it happens.
Speaker 1: It does happen. Yeah, it's pretty prevalent. Actually, all right,
Speaker 1: sexual harassment. This is our company policy. I'm going to
Speaker 1: read from the policy. Oh are we gonna get in
Speaker 1: trouble for this?
Speaker 2: I don't care. Well, it's probably a public, publicly available.
Speaker 1: It's also a PSA for people in other workplaces.
Speaker 2: Good.
Speaker 1: So it says, well, sexual harassment may may constant a
Speaker 1: wide range of conduct. Some examples, well, this is why.
Speaker 1: Some examples of prohibited conduct include the following. So, like,
Speaker 1: there was somebody at iHeartMedia, a group of people, there
Speaker 1: was a meeting, there was a think tank about this
Speaker 1: where people sat down in a room and we're like, okay,
Speaker 1: what are some examples of sexual harassment that we can
Speaker 1: put in the policy. And then you've got like Bob
Speaker 1: over there, who's lived in his mom's basement for five years,
Speaker 1: you know, to pale, probably a little sweat, super pasty
Speaker 1: and clammy. And you've got Bob talking thinking about sex. Right,
Speaker 1: how uncomfortable is that? Isn't that alone sexual harassment? Being
Speaker 1: in a room with Bob and talking about yeah, what
Speaker 1: is sexual harassments?
Speaker 2: Things like hey, would you talk a little slower please?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 2: We all know that guy.
Speaker 1: All right, Here you go offering employment benefits or preferential
Speaker 1: treatment in exchange for actual favors, okay, making or threatening
Speaker 1: reprisals after a negative response to sexual advances okay.
Speaker 2: And then they get specific. This is when Bob really
Speaker 2: leans in.
Speaker 1: Leering, making sexual gestures, displaying of sexually suggestive objects or pictures. Okay, cartoons, posters, websites, emails,
Speaker 1: text messages, derogatory comments.
Speaker 2: This is where we get into trouble.
Speaker 1: Derogatory comments, slurs, sexually explicit jokes, comments about an employee's
Speaker 1: body or dress, suggestive or obscene emails, notes, or invitations.
Speaker 1: We do that pretty much Monday to Friday.
Speaker 3: Well, the best news is there's still nobody in that
Speaker 3: room down there. Which room, the big room of whatever salespeople?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, Oh remember when I said that suggestive
Speaker 1: thing though, and there were people using that workspace.
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to narrow that down. Which time when
Speaker 3: you said that suggestive thing? Here is more specifics that
Speaker 3: I don't understand. So you're gonna have to explain.
Speaker 2: This to me.
Speaker 1: Intentional physical conduct that is sexual in nature, like touching, assault, pinching, pinching.
Speaker 1: I'm hung up on assault. How did you go from
Speaker 1: touching to assault? An assault is not sexual in nature.
Speaker 1: Assault is against the loss. It's criminal in nature, not
Speaker 1: sexual in nature. Touching, assault, pinching, grabbing, brushing, against, impeding
Speaker 1: or blocking movements.
