WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839 AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand 3 00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:08.480 on the iHeartRadio app. So I'm in the kitchen this 4 00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:11.400 morning and my husband walks in and he goes. 5 00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:16.120 Your face looks like it hurts, and I was like, 6 00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:18.000 that's a nice thing to say in the morning. It's 7 00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:20.800 a little rough. Wow, your face is what's wrong with 8 00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:23.199 your face? And I'm like, I don't know. 9 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.039 Something I was allergic to in Cleveland. I don't know 10 00:00:27.079 --> 00:00:29.920 what it was, but I started just crying this. I 11 00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:33.240 won't stop crying since yesterday morning. Anyways. 12 00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:35.759 My eyes are all puffy, my face is puffy. 13 00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:38.159 And then he's like, oh, do you hear about the 14 00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:40.960 San Diego Zoo and what they're doing. And they're live 15 00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.679 streaming baby animals tomorrow because there was a study from 16 00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:48.560 leads that said reduces stress by fifty percent looking at 17 00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:51.200 pictures and videos of baby animals. 18 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:53.799 So they'll be live streaming it all day long. 19 00:00:54.159 --> 00:00:56.439 And I go, God, that's so funny, because yesterday at 20 00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:59.439 the backdrop at the hotel where the officers and the 21 00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:02.799 dog police dogs check your bags before you go to 22 00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:05.719 the stadium, I said I was playing with this dog 23 00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:08.319 for like five ten minutes. This dog was so cool 24 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:10.760 Bentley's this dog's name was beautiful. Dog didn't look like 25 00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:12.719 a police dog at all, and it made me just 26 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:16.159 started the day off so well, blah blah blah blah blah. 27 00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:18.799 And then I'm like, oh, it was because that dog 28 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:21.000 was like licking my face and I was like on 29 00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:22.920 top of me for ten minutes. 30 00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:24.959 And it was great and it was wonderful. But that's 31 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:26.280 why my face. 32 00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.599 Is the size of your forehead. I'm sorry that was 33 00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:31.840 an unnecessary shot. 34 00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:34.799 It's all right. Sometimes when you're not feeling well, people 35 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:36.439 lash out. It doesn't hurt. 36 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:39.480 I'm wearing a hat today hide the forehead so you 37 00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:39.879 don't have to. 38 00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:44.040 Your forehead doesn't bother me anyway. 39 00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:46.280 So I took an allergy pill, so hopefully I'll stop 40 00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:46.879 crying at. 41 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:47.519 Some point today. 42 00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:51.920 I had a great, great weekend. 43 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:55.079 We're rehearsing for the show Friday's opening night, and so 44 00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:58.159 we had long days over the weekend. And I remember Saturday, 45 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:00.879 I get up, I'm hanging out with my dog. I'm 46 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:05.079 not allergic to them, and eat breakfast and just like 47 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.199 read through some stuff and I watch a stupid YouTube 48 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:13.000 video on would work like nothing associated with anything that 49 00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:15.759 has to do with campaign or elections or polls or anything. 50 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.039 It was such a great morning and I'm thinking, well, 51 00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:21.080 I have long day rehearsals and a lot of tech 52 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:22.639 stuff we got to do, and I don't have to 53 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.560 talk to anybody about anything that has anything to do 54 00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:28.439 with politics. And I'm not in that room for five 55 00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:30.240 minutes and somebody walks up to me like, Hey, I 56 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:31.759 didn't get a chance to listen to your show this week. 57 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:32.759 Did you guys talk about that? 58 00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:37.719 And I went, that's funny you say that, because yesterday 59 00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:42.120 DJ Daniel Jeremiah, who's our analyst for the CHARTERERSS Radio broadcast, said, 60 00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:44.400 right off the gate, right out of the gate, I'm 61 00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.719 so looking forward to this afternoon watching football and not 62 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.599 having to think or be bombarded with any sort of 63 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:51.520 election stuff. 64 00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.599 That is an important thing to remember that on. 65 00:02:54.919 --> 00:02:57.680 I know not everybody watches football, and I mean the 66 00:02:57.719 --> 00:02:59.960 sports is not an escape for a lot of people 67 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:03.560 like it is for us. But there's things to do 68 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:06.840 that are not politics, and there are things that you 69 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.439 can busy yourself for the next several days because this 70 00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:11.800 is not a one day thing. I mean, tomorrow is 71 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:14.439 going to be important, but it is not going to 72 00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.800 be over tomorrow night. I mean, the chances of that 73 00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.879 are very, very slim. So find the thing. 74 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.599 Maybe you learn to paint, maybe maybe listen. 75 00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.479 I never learned to paint, but my painting is atrocious, 76 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:29.719 but I find it very therapeutic. 77 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:31.680 Well, I feel like there's a lot of people who 78 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:32.960 are going to need some therapeutic things. 79 00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:35.199 And if I walk around the neighborhood, look at the flowers, 80 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:36.560 look at the floora and the fauna. 81 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:39.919 Your point about baby animals being the thing, like there's 82 00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.319 something out there. I would love to hear what it 83 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.280 is that people look for, you said baby animals. One 84 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:51.000 of my wife's favorite themes when it comes to short 85 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:53.080 videos that you can find on YouTube or Twitter or 86 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.280 something like that, is babies wearing glasses. And a lot 87 00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:59.680 of times, you know, babies get glasses for the very 88 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.080 first time and they fight it and they don't like 89 00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:03.919 it it's on their head, and then they go whoa 90 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:06.319 and they could see their mom's face for the first 91 00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.400 time or something like that. What is it that makes 92 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:14.280 you that happy? Like, do you need something that you 93 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:18.240 can do just a quick shot of dopamine or whatever 94 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:21.079 to put all this stuff out of your mind. 95 00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:22.920 One of my friends from high school, she had those 96 00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:27.600 like coke bottle lens, that's massive glasses with a huge lens, 97 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.560 and she says she remembers the first time she put 98 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:32.920 them on, you know, three four years old or something, 99 00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:36.279 and she said, what is this? She picked up something 100 00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.000 off the street. She said, what is this? And her 101 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:46.759 mom said, that's a leaf. Jessica, she didn't know what 102 00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:47.360 a leaf was. 103 00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:49.160 What a moron? 104 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.879 She couldn't see? Oh, oh, be cause she couldn't see see. 105 00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:55.000 That's one of the that's one of the things about 106 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:56.800 blind people or near blind people. 107 00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.240 You think they're dumb. It's not that they're dumb, they 108 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.279 just can't see. I think they're done. Well, that was 109 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:03.000 your reaction. 110 00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:06.279 So we're all a little touchy. 111 00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:09.759 It's not about the blind. 112 00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.319 Okay, But to dip our toe into this thing that 113 00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:15.439 is going on, we can't ignore it. There are obviously 114 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.920 a bunch of campaign events going on today, which is 115 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.000 going to be the last day. So former President Trump 116 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.040 is going to be in North Carolina and he's speaking 117 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.800 right now in Raleigh, North Carolina. He's got a couple 118 00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:28.519 of stops in Pennsylvania. He will close the night out 119 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:33.160 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Vice President Harris is in Pennsylvania 120 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:38.120 all day. She has five events in different parts of 121 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:39.600 Pennsylvania today. 122 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:40.720 Describe. 123 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:46.160 I mean that should exemplify or illustrate how important Pennsylvania 124 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.199 and its nineteen electoral votes will be. 125 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:50.279 For tomorrow. 126 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:54.040 She's got events planned with Oprah and Lady Gaga and 127 00:05:54.160 --> 00:06:01.240 Katie Perry along those lines. The security fencing has already 128 00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:05.399 been put up around the White House, around the Capitol Building, 129 00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:09.519 around the Naval Observatory, which is the official residence for 130 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:13.959 the Vice president. Authorities have said they have no credible threats. 131 00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.519 They don't know of anything that's being said or talked 132 00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:19.439 about that they believe would be credible, and the Washington 133 00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:22.199 DC Metro Police chief said at a news conference there 134 00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.959 is no need for any alarm. Is in the meantime, 135 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.120 go look at a cat playing the piano. 136 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.079 Is this whole. 137 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:38.360 Media firestorm about it being a mess following the election day? 138 00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:39.720 Is that all media driven? 139 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.439 What are the chances that we have the election and 140 00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.959 Trump wins and all of the Democrats just go all right, Well, 141 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:48.680 I'm just not going to pay attention. I'm just going 142 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:52.000 to go live my life and fight for what I 143 00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.759 can fight for, and I'm just gonna pretend this never happened. 144 00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.319 That is one of the things that we I mean, 145 00:06:57.360 --> 00:06:59.319 like you and I I think we have to be 146 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:04.839 careful about it is because we have to constantly remember 147 00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:08.759 where we are and what we're doing. That the algorithms, 148 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:14.600 whether it's Twitter and social media whatever, there is a 149 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.800 not a desire. There is an emphasis on the more 150 00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:21.759 exciting things. 151 00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:22.720 Uh huh. 152 00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:25.680 And the exciting thing is people lose their minds and 153 00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:27.519 they take to the streets and they get mad and 154 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:29.279 they are upset and they burn the buildings down. 155 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.560 And the more likely is just what you said. 156 00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.519 Right, fine, And that's the thing we've talked about at 157 00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.160 numerous times. The loudest people in the room get all 158 00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.519 the attention, and they shouldn't. You know, the guys that 159 00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:44.480 are going to take to the streets armed because they're 160 00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:48.040 pissed Trump lost few and far between.

I don't know why 215 00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:10.720 this became a news alert, but Vice President Harris diverted 216 00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:13.600 her campaign plane back to New York, so she could 217 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.360 show up on Saturday Night Live during their cold open, 218 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:21.240 in which Maya Rudolph as Kamala Harris says she wishes 219 00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:24.360 she could talk to somebody in her position.

Follow Lalala, 234 00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:33.159 because what do we always say, keep Kamala and carry 235 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:34.559 on Ala. 236 00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:38.759 I mean, we knew where they were going. 237 00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:41.039 We knew Saturday Night Live they have a particular bent 238 00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:44.919 and that's not on It's not it's not lost on anybody. 239 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:47.080 They did a skit a little bit later called what's 240 00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:50.519 my name? Oh, this was excellent with John mulvaney. Yeah, 241 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:54.480 and he uh, Mullaney. Why do I keep doing this because. 242 00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:56.320 Mick Mulvaney used to work in the White House, I know, 243 00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:57.080 but I do it. 244 00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:59.559 Every time I'm old. 245 00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:02.320 But that was about It was making fun of people 246 00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:05.960 who are claimed to have such great political knowledge. 247 00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:06.960 Well it's not that. 248 00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:10.879 It's more I think about people who claim that the 249 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:14.200 politics of today means so much in their lives. 250 00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:16.039 It's so important to them. 251 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:19.360 And it's this game show, and it's this guy, John, 252 00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:24.360 the John whose last name I will not attempt anymore Mulaney. 253 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:28.399 He is this contestant who claims that the twenty sixteen 254 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:32.799 presidential election was the most important election of our time. 255 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:35.000 It was huge, it meant so much to his life. 256 00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:37.600 And so they say, all right, then who's this guy? 257 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.759 And they bring in white guy, white guy, average white guy. 258 00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:45.639 Who is this guy? And John Mulaney's like, I don't know. 259 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:51.360 So then white guy goes, hey, you voted for me 260 00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:54.559 to be a heartbeat away from the Oval office and you. 261 00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:59.399 Can't even remember my name, Tim Caine. It was well done. 262 00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:02.799 And then they said something to the effect of say 263 00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:08.039 her name and that Twitter hashtag phenomenon from years ago. 264 00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:09.720 And they said, say one name. 265 00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:13.279 Oh yeah, he said remember the Oh no, it was 266 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:15.279 Black Lives Matter, and. 267 00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.279 Remember thennor Taylor, right, And. 268 00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:19.720 Then he posted twelve names. 269 00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:22.440 They put his tweet up there but blacked them all 270 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:24.399 out or censored them all so you couldn't read them. 271 00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:28.279 And he said the game show host challenged him, okay, 272 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:32.360 name one right, And that was trying to just drive. 273 00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:36.399 Home the point that you're not as obsessed with this 274 00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:37.159 as you may. 275 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:37.600 Think you are. 276 00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:40.799 Now NBC did get in a bit of trouble. One 277 00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.799 of the commissioners on the FCC suggested that Saturday Night 278 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:50.159 Live NBC specifically had violated its equal time law by 279 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.480 not offering Donald Trump the same amount of time yesterday. 280 00:13:54.559 --> 00:14:00.440 What they did was during a NASCAR race, the president 281 00:14:00.559 --> 00:14:04.320 former president appeared in an unusual ad. He spoke directly 282 00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:06.519 to the camera. It almost sounded like it was kind 283 00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:07.279 of off the cuff. 284 00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:10.480 So Trump goes on NASCAR and Sunday Night Football, which 285 00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:14.600 is his audience. Kamala goes on SNL, which is her audience. 286 00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:17.000 I don't think any minds where choughing happened. 287 00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:19.399 Yeahah, at the end of it, nothing happened to go 288 00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:22.799 because we've been burned before. There's a couple of pole 289 00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:28.240 polars pole polars who say this is unusual. Not only 290 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:30.720 is it unusual that these poles are so close, it 291 00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:32.519 probably means they're completely wrong. 292 00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:36.720 Yeah, Quincy Jones has his fingerprints on everything. You'd be 293 00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:41.080 hard pressed to find that you don't have, well, they 294 00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:44.000 used to be records, but you don't have something on 295 00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:45.960 your playlists or what have you that doesn't have his 296 00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:46.879 name attached to it. 297 00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:49.720 I mean all of not all of, but three. 298 00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:54.120 I think three of Michael Michael Jackson's albums were produced 299 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:55.080 by Quincy Jones. 300 00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:58.480 There's My Party, produced by Clancy. 301 00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:03.559 The New York Times writer put together a list of 302 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:06.080 what he said were the quintessential I think it's fourteen 303 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:09.440 tracks of Quincy Jones, And as I was going through 304 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:12.279 and listening to them today, there were some of them 305 00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:14.840 on there that I never ever, ever would have thought 306 00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:18.879 were Quincy Jones. But it's just proof that he had 307 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:20.000 his hand in everything. 308 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:23.879 It's like Phil Spector, but a good guy is that. 309 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:27.720 Quincy Jones also did a number of shows. I mean 310 00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:32.679 he produced Fresh Prince of bel Aire, he produced, He 311 00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:35.559 did the songs for Sanford and Sons, and I mean he. 312 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:37.360 Just he is everywhere in Cold Blood. 313 00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:39.759 I believe he got Best Original Score the Academy Award 314 00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:42.200 for that one, the Original in nineteen sixty seven. 315 00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:45.600 Tomorrow's election day. Obviously, we'll talk more about campaign stuff 316 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:46.159 throughout the day. 317 00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:47.639 If man, if you want to just. 318 00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:52.240 Gouge your eyeballs out, start by watching c SPAN, because 319 00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:55.600 they're showing every event today.

Or he makes a little 344 00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:03.240 bird Peter. 345 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:06.720 I will do, I will, I will go look at 346 00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:07.559 that immediately. 347 00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:10.920 That sounds incredible. Was that your mom? 348 00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:16.880 This story that Liz sent us that her daughter Amy 349 00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:19.200 wrote about the birds is really lovely. 350 00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:20.599 Oh you do that? 351 00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:22.920 Yeah. 352 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:25.640 A week ago, I was out trimming my flowers, pulling weeds, 353 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:27.640 when all of a sudden, this little sparrow started buzzing 354 00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:30.480 around me. She was squawking and squeaking, flying in front 355 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:32.359 of me. I kept up to my gardening and I'm 356 00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:35.319 paraphrasing some of this. Why was this little bird sweeping 357 00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:38.279 swooping all around me? She's trying to tell me something. 358 00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:41.880 But just as I was pulling back some mint to cut, 359 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:45.400 I saw it. It was nestled in the corner of 360 00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:49.640 my herb planter, a little nest with four blue, perfect eggs. 361 00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:51.720 And I told the little bird, oh, I see what 362 00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:54.319 you're telling me now she was a mama Birdie. She 363 00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:57.359 was protecting her beautiful, precious little nest. 364 00:17:57.799 --> 00:17:59.960 She says. I understand that because I'm a mama too. 365 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:02.759 I apologized to the little bird because I knew what 366 00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:05.559 it was like to protect your babies at all costs. 367 00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:08.079 I went to bed thinking of Mama Birdie and how 368 00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:10.279 well she was guarding her nest and her great skill 369 00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:12.680 at communicating. The Next morning, I went to check on 370 00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:13.440 Mama Birdie. 371 00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:13.920 First thing. 372 00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:18.839 Three little babies had hatched, barely the size of a fingernail, 373 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:23.519 the little bodies barely formed, and beaks moving occasionally. One 374 00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:26.319 egg was still sitting there without even a crack. I 375 00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:28.279 called my own mom to ask what she thought. Maybe 376 00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:30.920 it was a dud. But that night I came home 377 00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:32.960 and checked on the little nest and the fourth egg 378 00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:35.880 had hatched, now four little babies. I was filled with delight. 379 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:39.119 Mama Birdie close by, perched on a bogan via branch. 380 00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:42.079 She once again told me stay away from my babies. 381 00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:44.920 I called my mom again. She told me to put 382 00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:47.240 out some bird seeds and water for Mama Birdie, and 383 00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:47.920 I did that. 384 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:50.359 Next morning, I had woken up. 385 00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:53.240 To a whole mess of bird seeds splattered across the table. 386 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:56.839 Mama Birdie had an overnight feast. All that week, she 387 00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:59.880 filled the bowls with water and food, checked on the baby, 388 00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:03.880 checked on everybody. One week and one day later, I 389 00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:06.200 was out watering the plants, Mama Birdie swoops around me 390 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:08.200 again to tell me something. I just kept going Her 391 00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:10.319 babies were doing fine. I knew not to bother them, 392 00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:14.680 and she just kept trying to talk to me. I 393 00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:17.160 couldn't understand. I went to bed after spending the evening 394 00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:19.680 with my own kiddos, having dinner and talking. We all 395 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:22.319 knew about Mama Birdie by now, I called her my bird. 396 00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:25.559 What was she trying to tell me last night? Well, 397 00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:28.279 the next morning she got up and realized they were 398 00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:31.880 all gone. Mama Bertie had raised her babies. They had fled, 399 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:36.000 and she was trying to say thank you, Mama Bertie 400 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:40.279 for seeing a fellow mama in the bird and for 401 00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:40.799
