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 and happen. You know, just there's some days,
Speaker 1: like every day where I just feel the need. And
Speaker 1: the opinion piece was the super Bowl, and I'm paraphrasing
Speaker 1: the headline, super Bowl is proof that New Orleans can
Speaker 1: show us how to come back from the wildfire, or
Speaker 1: LA can come back.
Speaker 2: Just like New Orleans came back.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, listen, I understand the devastation that has
Speaker 1: happened with the LA wildfires. When you look at Altadena
Speaker 1: and the Pacific Palisades, that ain't no Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane
Speaker 1: Katrina with what fourteen hundred people killed that was That's
Speaker 1: what they were comparing in this opinion piece was if
Speaker 1: New Orleans can come back from Katrina, we can come
Speaker 1: back from.
Speaker 2: The fires in LA.
Speaker 1: Like there there's no comparison between those two things.
Speaker 3: Well, and you think about it.
Speaker 1: You know, fourteen hundred people killed in Katrina, thirty killed
Speaker 1: in the wildfires, all all devastation. Right, I'm not it's
Speaker 1: not a competition, but you know, one hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: billion dollars of damage from Katrina at fifty billion and
Speaker 1: some of the highest priced homes you're talking about to
Speaker 1: do account for that, But I mean there's just I
Speaker 1: don't even need to break down the numbers.
Speaker 2: There's no comparison.
Speaker 4: Well and the I mean this is twenty years later.
Speaker 4: I mean there's a certain aspect of yeah, I mean
Speaker 4: after twenty years, yeah, you're gonna be recovered and there
Speaker 4: will be that. We here in LA have to deal
Speaker 4: with the pressure of World Cup, have to deal with
Speaker 4: the pressure of oh, I don't know, the Olympics that
Speaker 4: are coming up now. I'm not saying that we can't
Speaker 4: do it.
Speaker 1: But it's it's it's it's definitely a truncated amount of
Speaker 1: time that we have to get ready for a large event.
Speaker 1: But I think that they and I didn't read the
Speaker 1: whole article because I thought the premise was ridiculous on
Speaker 1: its face, so I just basically read that headline. But
Speaker 1: I think that they weren't just talking about getting ready
Speaker 1: for a big event. They're time out like the city
Speaker 1: in general, which is different because Hurricane Katrina wiped out
Speaker 1: the entire French Quarter, like their entire livelihood of New
Speaker 1: Orleans was wiped out. This was not that La is
Speaker 1: not comparable to New Orleans in any sort of way possible.
Speaker 3: That is a good point.
Speaker 4: I mean that as much as devastating as the fires.
Speaker 2: Are, people aren't going to stop coming to La.
Speaker 4: Well, and it's still I mean, percentage wise, it's a
Speaker 4: tiny percentage of acreage, a tiny percentage of the number
Speaker 4: of homes, and arguably a tiny percentage of the number
Speaker 4: of people affected. That's not to say that we're not
Speaker 4: all affected in some way, but those that were directly
Speaker 4: impacted is a small number.
Speaker 1: Katrina's killed generations of people, scores of people, wiped out
Speaker 1: the heart of the city. Come on, why does it
Speaker 1: say in the show run Down Louvila u via Okay?
Speaker 2: Why?
Speaker 3: Because that is Spanish for rain.
Speaker 2: The rain's not here, you know, but it's til tomorrow.
Speaker 4: It's been on the nine o'clock segment for the last
Speaker 4: couple of weeks because it seems like we go a
Speaker 4: couple of days without rain, and then we get some rain,
Speaker 4: and then we get no rain.
Speaker 2: In the Uvula? Is that right? Uvula?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: Isn't that the same name of the that's.
Speaker 3: The thing that's hanging down in the back of your throat.
Speaker 2: Why are they the same word? It's not, it's not.
Speaker 2: It just sounds the same. U via u va is rain.
Speaker 1: Is rain u va, U viola l l u v
Speaker 1: I a right, u via u vah. Yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 1: view lah, you view yah and u vuolau vula.
Speaker 2: I think we should tell the story about what.
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, this is a.
Speaker 1: Great story and if you haven't heard it, you're in
Speaker 1: for a t in honor.
Speaker 3: Of my late father. Yes, my wife and.
Speaker 4: I had at the time still dating. We're at my
Speaker 4: parents house for the very first time, I mean overnight,
Speaker 4: spent the weekend and everything, and gathered around the kitchen
Speaker 4: table first thing on Saturday morning, wearing sweats, a little
Speaker 4: cup of coffee, just the old Saturday morning relaxed. My
Speaker 4: wife lets out a yawn, and from across the table,
Speaker 4: my dad says, I gets see your vulva.
Speaker 3: It never gets old.
Speaker 4: And I am sitting closest to him.
Speaker 3: And could not figure out how to get out of that.
Speaker 4: I said, Dad, I think you meant I think you
Speaker 4: meant uvula. And he said, yeah, what did I say?
Speaker 2: What did you say?
Speaker 3: I didn't say anything.
Speaker 4: I said, you did not say u vula. I didn't
Speaker 4: want to repeat it.
Speaker 1: And then what was your mom at the table too?
Speaker 1: I don't know she's in she's in the kitchen. What
Speaker 1: was your soon to be wife, Well, not soon enough,
Speaker 1: since you drug your heels, But what was your girlfriend
Speaker 1: at the time?
Speaker 2: What was her reaction?
Speaker 4: I vaguely remember her just freezing, but also giggling at
Speaker 4: like in the moment, you can't, you.
Speaker 2: Can't not because she thought, oh my gosh, did he right?
Speaker 2: You gotta look down, like where what's going on? It's
Speaker 2: happening down there. Oh, that's such a great story.
Speaker 1: Fun and another I mean, there's so many reasons why
Speaker 1: it's a great story. One of them is that uvula
Speaker 1: is not a word to just throw out in breakfast conversation.
Speaker 2: It's not not a lot of people. Even vulva certainly
Speaker 2: not breakfast fodder.
Speaker 1: But uvula is a word that most people.
Speaker 2: Don't even know. It's not even most people's perview, So.
Speaker 1: It's not like something that's just a common thing like oh,
Speaker 1: I can see your tonsils, I can see your uvula.
Speaker 2: I can see your vulva.
Speaker 4: I would is so much preferred, he said, tonsils. It's
Speaker 4: hard to screw that.
Speaker 3: One right.
Speaker 2: Esophagus.
Speaker 1: Really anything other than you vula slash vulva anyway?
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, moving on? Uh so, maybe we should.
Speaker 1: Just start writing rain at the top of the show
Speaker 1: instead of what I considered to be I just think
Speaker 1: it's funny.
Speaker 3: It's been there for two weeks and you noticed it today.
Speaker 1: I've seen it before, but I thought that we just
Speaker 1: got busy and skipped over it. So and it was
Speaker 1: a story that was new, like dear to your Heart,
Speaker 1: So you kept putting it on there so that we'd
Speaker 1: eventually get to it.
Speaker 4: No, and I don't know, how do you spell uvula
Speaker 4: is uvu la?
Speaker 2: That looks right? Okay, yeah, a looks right. I'll just
Speaker 2: continue to put hellos and chit chat. That's a great idea.
Speaker 2: Let's not bring up volvas anymore.
Speaker 1: Elon Musk, right, start guys. Elon Musk says he has
Speaker 1: found good people in the federal government. And this is
Speaker 1: one of those stories that people will ignore the pearl
Speaker 1: clutchers or or the people that are just worried about
Speaker 1: their jobs. And I understand that, but they are listening
Speaker 1: to people in the federal government. They are identifying the
Speaker 1: people that are doing a good job. And they're identifying
Speaker 1: the people who know where the fat should be cut.
Speaker 1: So that's good news. We'll get into it when we
Speaker 1: come back.
Speaker 5: Hey, Gary Shannon is pronounced to uvia.
Speaker 2: That's what I said, u via yuvia, uvia.
Speaker 4: What did you say? I don't know what he thinks
Speaker 4: I said. He thinks you at uvula was what you said?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Which is the thing right?
Speaker 3: Anyway?
Speaker 1: The Oregon Zoo in Portland is welcomed a new baby elephant.
Speaker 1: Thirty year old Asian elephant Rose two gave birth at
Speaker 1: the zoo last weekend after twenty months of pregnancy. That
Speaker 1: thing was cooking for a while. You know why because
Speaker 1: when it came out, guess how much it weighed?
Speaker 3: Four hundred pounds.
Speaker 2: Two hundred pounds. Oh, don't be ridiculous.
Speaker 1: It was a female, but staff are giving the pair
Speaker 1: time to bond before conducting a first checkup to confirm
Speaker 1: its weight and sex. They don't they think it's a
Speaker 1: They think it's a female, but it may not be.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: They got to ask it. Hey, how do you identify?
Speaker 1: Steve Lefebve oversees the Zoo's elephant program. He says it
Speaker 1: might be a while before the baby is ready for visitors.
Speaker 1: He said the staff wants to make sure the calf
Speaker 1: continues to do well and that the mother is calm
Speaker 1: with people around. How about just let the elephants live
Speaker 1: their lives and not deal with people.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't that be nice to just live in a zoo
Speaker 2: and not have to deal with other people?
Speaker 3: Just close the zoo?
Speaker 1: Yeah, like it, wouldn't that be nice? Picture of this?
Speaker 1: You're an elephant?
Speaker 3: Go on?
Speaker 1: Would you rather just live your life and your elephant
Speaker 1: enclosure as opposed to being out in the wild, which
Speaker 1: you would prefer, But if you had to, that's fine,
Speaker 1: I guess right. And wouldn't you rather have that than
Speaker 1: a bunch of idiots like you and me.
Speaker 3: Just gawking gawking at.
Speaker 4: You, yelling, hey, elephant, hey, let me see your private parts?
Speaker 2: Is that what you do at the zoo?
Speaker 4: No, I'm saying because they're trying to figure out what
Speaker 4: the baby elephant is?
Speaker 3: Right? Yeah?
Speaker 2: What kind of private parts to elephants have? Do they
Speaker 2: have the normal ones?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: Interesting? How do you know that?
Speaker 3: Because they're mammals?
Speaker 2: Oh, all mammals have the thing.
Speaker 4: I'm going to go I'm gonna go out on a
Speaker 4: lem and say yes to stop doing that with your hands. Lakers,
Speaker 4: Luka Donca got off to a good start with fourteen
Speaker 4: points twenty four minutes on their way to a one
Speaker 4: thirty two, one to thirteen win over the Jazz. So
Speaker 4: the Lakers have now won six in six in a row.
Speaker 4: That's the longest wind streak so far of the season.
Speaker 4: Super Bowl average one hundred and twenty six million viewers
Speaker 4: across all platforms. If that number holds, it will be
Speaker 4: the second straight year that the Super Bowl has set
Speaker 4: an all time viewing record in the United States.
Speaker 3: So whoever says the Super.
Speaker 4: Bowl is dying, I don't know who is saying that,
Speaker 4: but two years in that they broke their own record.
Speaker 1: Coming up in True Crime Tuesday, a thirteen year old
Speaker 1: girl was walking along an empty road in rural Oregon.
Speaker 1: She was kidnapped and her body was found shortly after.
Speaker 1: Soon after, more teenagers started going missing. This is the
Speaker 1: story of the Ghosts of Highway twenty and we will
Speaker 1: bring it to you.
Speaker 2: Coming up in the noon hour.
Speaker 4: Carrion shedded, I love Body Part Tuesday.
Speaker 3: Okay, we're not doing body there.
Speaker 1: Carl sounded like Carl, Hey, Well, I was a body
Speaker 1: part Tuesday, because.
Speaker 4: We're talking about the uvlas and other parts. Elon Musk
Speaker 4: says he's been impressed by some of the workers that
Speaker 4: he's encountered in his quest to cut the federal government.
Speaker 1: And this was one of my questions. Are they going
Speaker 1: in and just cutting willy nilly or are they digging
Speaker 1: into the different government agencies and finding out who does what?
Speaker 1: Till I've made the reference before the office space reference,
Speaker 1: do they bring in the bobs and have the conversations
Speaker 1: of what is it you do here? And it seems
Speaker 1: like they are having those conversations. Yes, it's probably terrifying
Speaker 1: if you are for the federal government and you don't
Speaker 1: know if your job is going to be cut and
Speaker 1: what you're going to do, and it's terrifying, I would imagine.
Speaker 1: But it does seem like they are talking to rank
Speaker 1: and file employees well.
Speaker 4: And the painting of the picture where it's Elon Musk
Speaker 4: and a bunch of computer nerds or go in and
Speaker 4: just hit delete on everything is not true because the
Speaker 4: Department of Government Efficiency, at least specifically when it comes
Speaker 4: to the Department of Treasury, has gone in and sat
Speaker 4: down with and asked questions of people who work in
Speaker 4: the Department of the Treasury, who specifically know the inner
Speaker 4: workings of how treasury works, how bills are paid, how
Speaker 4: we do the business of the Department of Treasury, and
Speaker 4: ask them where do you see the biggest problems? What
Speaker 4: are you thinking are areas that can be tightened up
Speaker 4: or cut or just fixed so that they're not a
Speaker 4: waste of money.
Speaker 1: I feel like no greater victory nor defeat is had
Speaker 1: in the management level of any sort of office. You
Speaker 1: have great managers, it's fantastic. You have bad managers, it's hell.
Speaker 1: They found that in some cases that there were a
Speaker 1: lot of these rank and file employees who knew what
Speaker 1: to do, wanted to be more efficient, knew the way
Speaker 1: things should go, but were prevented doing so by prior
Speaker 1: bad middle management types, people that only like to cover
Speaker 1: their own ass and not worry about how things would
Speaker 1: work better.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm again, I'm cautiously optimistic about whatever Elon Musk
Speaker 4: is doing. I do say and I do advocate for
Speaker 4: there being a bit more public accountability on this. I mean,
Speaker 4: I know that he's busy, but I would like to
Speaker 4: know more specifically the things that he is going for
Speaker 4: right now, and there can be updates from the Department
Speaker 4: of Government Efficiency every single day. Here's what we did today,
Speaker 4: or here's what we're looking at today, or here's the
Speaker 4: system that we think can be fixed, trimmed, spruced up,
Speaker 4: whatever it is.
Speaker 1: And there may be corporate like incentives for people that
Speaker 1: have never experienced that in the government worker world. He wrote,
Speaker 1: Musket did that we want to empower these people to
Speaker 1: make the sensible decisions they've always wanted to make in
Speaker 1: reduction of fraud and waste, and that would be massive,
Speaker 1: but they've been stopped from doing this from those middle managers.
Speaker 1: He said, we should reward those in government who do
Speaker 1: the right thing. That might be something new instead of
Speaker 1: just well they can't fire me, and I'm just going
Speaker 1: to earn the same paycheck no matter what. That's just
Speaker 1: such a dangerous way of going through life of just
Speaker 1: this guaranteed employment and don't make waves and don't go
Speaker 1: above and beyond and just do the minimum and you're
Speaker 1: not going to get fired and you're not going to
Speaker 1: get more money. Who's going to strive in that kind
Speaker 1: of environment. Who's gonna thrive? I guess I should say.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're not. I mean, but it becomes inertia. Inertia
Speaker 4: becomes the issue there where you start doing it after
Speaker 4: a while and you realize, oh, there is very little
Speaker 4: expectation of me.
Speaker 3: I don't have to get the hell out.
Speaker 4: I just have to do this thing, and I'm guaranteed
Speaker 4: a certain amount of income slash lifestyle and.
Speaker 1: Some of its personal pride that you know you've got
Speaker 1: to have that you've got to.
Speaker 2: Bring to a job like that.
Speaker 1: And there are people like that who work with immense
Speaker 1: amounts of personal pride and it doesn't matter that they
Speaker 1: can't be fired and they'll make the same They'll still
Speaker 1: want to knock it out of the park every day.
Speaker 4: That's a good that's character. Yes, I mean, that's someone
Speaker 4: with incredible character. K IF I am six forty live
Speaker 4: everywhere on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: App speaking of old.
Speaker 1: The fiftieth anniversary celebration of SNL is so big it's
Speaker 1: not even on Saturday. It's gonna air Sunday. It's going
Speaker 1: to be three hours live SNL fifty The Inn of
Speaker 1: Our Street celebration will assemble a dream team of stars
Speaker 1: alumni like Tina Fey, Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle, Steve Martin,
Speaker 1: four of the surviving original cast members surviving. That sounds
Speaker 1: so dire, like they were in a wreck. Musical guests
Speaker 1: of Who's Who essentially Paul McCartney, Bad Bunny, Miley Cyrus,
Speaker 1: Sabrina Carpenter. This will be Sunday at eight pm Eastern
Speaker 1: on NBC.
Speaker 3: Did you ever watch that movie about Saturday Night?
Speaker 2: I did not.
Speaker 1: Well, I feel like my parents never watched it, so
Speaker 1: I never watched it growing up in the eighties and nineties,
Speaker 1: and then I kind of got into it periodically from
Speaker 1: time to time, but I was never a regular watcher
Speaker 1: of it, which I feel like is a I should
Speaker 1: get into it because it was bad when I had
Speaker 1: the when I had become old enough to have appreciation
Speaker 1: for it and humor and things like that. It was
Speaker 1: when it was going through its bad times, like it's
Speaker 1: not funny times.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you know they've had waves.
Speaker 2: Rod's been a roller.
Speaker 4: This morning, there was a pretty bad crash wrong way
Speaker 4: driver on the southbound lanes of the four H five
Speaker 4: in Sherman Oaks heading into the Sumpalita Pass Line. Incident
Speaker 4: reported just after four o'clock a wrong way driver spotted
Speaker 4: going northbound in the southbound lanes on the side of
Speaker 4: the freeway. At least one person was killed. There was
Speaker 4: also a person killed in an airplane crash yesterday. This again,
Speaker 4: this has nothing to do with FAA. It's not Trump's fault,
Speaker 4: it's not There was a plane whose landing gear failed.
Speaker 4: That plane happened to be owned by Vince Neil from
Speaker 4: Motley Crue. According to the filing by the Wyoming Secretary
Speaker 4: of State, he was not on board. It's believed that
Speaker 4: the pilot of that plane was killed, and apparently Vince
Speaker 4: Neil's girlfriend.
Speaker 3: May have been on board.
Speaker 4: But again, that was at a plane in Scottsdale. Accident
Speaker 4: in Scottsdale. Well. President Trump is going to be hosting
Speaker 4: King Abdullah the Second of Jordan at the White House today.
Speaker 4: Obviously the topic of Gaza refugees will be at the
Speaker 4: top of the list. If you remember, President Trump a
Speaker 4: short time ago, just a couple of days ago, had said.
Speaker 3: I think we should have hostages out by noon. As
Speaker 3: far as.
Speaker 5: I'm concerned, if all of the hostages aren't returned by
Speaker 5: Saturday at twelve o'clock, I think it's an appropriate time
Speaker 5: I would say, cancel it and all bets are off
Speaker 5: and let hell break out.
Speaker 4: Okay, I just want to say he's not the one
Speaker 4: who dictates policy for Israel, but the BBC just in
Speaker 4: the last few minutes reported about Benjamin Nett Yahoo, the
Speaker 4: Prime Minister of Israel, and his full statement on this,
Speaker 4: He says, I just concluded an in depth four hour
Speaker 4: discussion in the Political Security Cabinet. We expressed outrage at
Speaker 4: the shocking situation of our three hostages who were released
Speaker 4: last Saturday. Listen, They've been treated like hell for sixteen
Speaker 4: months and then raided in front of a bunch of
Speaker 4: Gaza militants.
Speaker 3: He said.
Speaker 4: We also welcomed President Trump's demand for the release of
Speaker 4: our hostages by Saturday noon, and we will also we
Speaker 4: all also welcome to the President's revolutionary vision for the
Speaker 4: vision for the future of Gasa.
Speaker 1: It's a very precarious situation, this alleged truce that is
Speaker 1: in place, the ceasefire is set to elapse. This is
Speaker 1: going to be in March unless Hamas and Israel negotiate
Speaker 1: an extension. Ibraham Delasa is the director of the Horizon
Speaker 1: Center of political research group in the West Bank. He
Speaker 1: says it's likely that they will reach a compromise before Saturday,
Speaker 1: but this crisis is a prelude for that much bigger
Speaker 1: crisis that is coming when the ceasefire is set to
Speaker 1: elapse in early March.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it ain't going to get that long.
Speaker 4: The statement from net Yahoo makes it very clear that
Speaker 4: unless all of the remaining hostage I think there are
Speaker 4: seventeen Israeli hostages still held in Gaza that they believe,
Speaker 4: and eight of those are already dead. And the statement
Speaker 4: had said that if there is no hostage released, I'm
Speaker 4: sorry if for some reason Gaza does Hamas does not
Speaker 4: release the hostages from Gaza, that Israel will follow basically
Speaker 4: what President Trump said, and all hell is going to
Speaker 4: break loose. And already today we know that Israeli defense
Speaker 4: forces have amassed inside and around Gaza, I mean currently ongoing,
Speaker 4: and that the placement of those troops, he says, will
Speaker 4: be complete within the next few hours, ready to go
Speaker 4: in if necessary.
Speaker 1: So this meeting is going to be a big deal
Speaker 1: at the White House with the King of Jordan, because
Speaker 1: prior to that, let hell all break loose, news breaking
Speaker 1: as Trump saying that we should send the Palestinians away
Speaker 1: from Gozen into places like Jordan. That is going to
Speaker 1: be met with extreme resistance from King Abdullah. Now Trump
Speaker 1: is doubling down, threatened, threatening to withhold aid to places
Speaker 1: like Jordan if they don't go along with his plan.
Speaker 1: So this is going to be a chippy meeting probably, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he has said.
Speaker 4: Trump said that he believes the King Abdullah and other
Speaker 4: leaders there in the in the Middle East, Arab world
Speaker 4: leaders that they would take in Palestinians because his quote,
Speaker 4: they have good hearts.
Speaker 1: That's not what the king is saying. Beat That is
Speaker 1: not we don't want them here.
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Coming up next, good news, good news, the chances of
Speaker 1: an asteroid hitting Earth has nearly doubled.
Speaker 4: I mean, let's go, we're still low single digits.
Speaker 2: But you're saying there's a chance, Yeah, there's a chance.
Speaker 1: Representative Nancy May's detailed accusations detailed to a t accusations
Speaker 1: of rape and sexual abuse about her ex fiance in
Speaker 1: a speech on the House floor, laying out people, names.
Speaker 2: Pictures, and the experts.
Speaker 1: Issue is not that we should be blaming her if
Speaker 1: this is all true, but the fact that she laid
Speaker 1: out all these people untouchable, really, if there was any
Speaker 1: untruth to this untouchable because she was acting within her
Speaker 1: legislative duties locally.
Speaker 4: Rain coming in tomorrow morning. Bigger threat, of course, is
Speaker 4: going to be Thursday. That's going to be the big day.
Speaker 4: I like County public Works crews have been creating additional
Speaker 4: capacity in the debris basins. They've installed thousands of feet
Speaker 4: of concrete barriers ahead of the rain. Crews have also
Speaker 4: put out sandbags, compost filter socks, those little bag looking things,
Speaker 4: type of a burm. They said that they're going to
Speaker 4: try to prevent any mud from flowing into storm drains
Speaker 4: and out into the ocean, especially in those fire zones.
Speaker 1: The chances of an asteroid striking Earth within the next
Speaker 1: decade has doubled in a matter of weeks. The universe
Speaker 1: has taking a look at what we're up to and said,
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe we wipe it out.
Speaker 3: Let's start over.
Speaker 4: The asteroid we've talked about before, discovered just after Christmas.
Speaker 4: It's named twenty twenty four. Y R four could strike
Speaker 4: the planet in December of twenty thirty two. It approaches
Speaker 4: during another journey around its orbit. When the detection of
Speaker 4: the asteroid was announced last month, NASA said it had
Speaker 4: about a one point three percent probability of hitting Earth.
Speaker 4: One point three percent has increased to two point one percent.
Speaker 4: Now they are taking it seriously enough that an international
Speaker 4: team of astronomers has been actually granted use of the
Speaker 4: James Webb Space Telescope to look at this thing to
Speaker 4: figure out specifically how big it is and how much
Speaker 4: damage it would do if, in fact it made contact
Speaker 4: with the surface of the Earth.
Speaker 1: Have we called Bruce Willis, called Ben Affleck?
Speaker 2: No? Have we called lived Tyland Nobody.
Speaker 3: We haven't called anybody yet.
Speaker 4: Those phone calls don't take place until it's about a
Speaker 4: five percent chance.
Speaker 1: We have nothing to worry about here, everybody. If you
Speaker 1: were hoping for the asteroid to hit your as out
Speaker 1: of luck.
Speaker 2: It's not going to happen or not. I mean it could,
Speaker 2: I gut a chance.
Speaker 4: They said it in the asteroids about ninety meters about
Speaker 4: three hundred feet wide as football field wide. It's sizable
Speaker 4: basically about the Statue of Liberty or Big Ben if
Speaker 4: you're in London. And they said that this could if
Speaker 4: it made impact, it would have an impact similar to
Speaker 4: the Tungusca asteroid in Siberia in nineteen oh eight.
Speaker 2: Tell me more about that one.
Speaker 4: Hundred andy square miles gone.
Speaker 2: Is that what created Siberia? Is that why Siberia is Siberia?
Speaker 3: Siberia? Now, I'm pretty sure it was kind of colden.
Speaker 1: Really, so it just happened to hit Siberia as opposed
Speaker 1: to like Paris.
Speaker 2: Yeah, interesting, could you imagine? Wow, what are the odds
Speaker 2: that it hits nothing? Nothing?
Speaker 4: I mean there were forests there that don't exist. I
Speaker 4: mean immediately after it happened, it didn't exist.
Speaker 1: But there was another article that I saw kind of
Speaker 1: in the same vein this morning about Earth's inner core
Speaker 1: maybe changing shape. Oh yeah, well the study that found
Speaker 1: the core structure appears to be changing as it rotates,
Speaker 1: Its soft surface deforms almost like it's creating hills and valleys.
Speaker 1: And then the next big bold Face headline was should
Speaker 1: you worry? If you're worried about the Earth's inner cores
Speaker 1: shape changing, you've won life, Like if that's on your
Speaker 1: list of worries. Not how am I going to get
Speaker 1: to work with that broken rim? Or how am I
Speaker 1: going to pay for first and last month's rent? Or
Speaker 1: is my kid going to end up a heroin addict
Speaker 1: or whatever. People worry about you have a tough morning apparently, geez,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, should you worry about that? What are
Speaker 1: you talking about? Should you worry about that? Why are
Speaker 1: we telling people they should be worrying about things that
Speaker 1: they cannot control. You can't control the Earth's changing shape
Speaker 1: of its core? Oh well, there you. What the hell
Speaker 1: are you going to do by worrying about it?
Speaker 4: Can you control whether the asteroid hits the Earth? No,
Speaker 4: or even if it hits.
Speaker 1: That's why I said in the same vein, what are
Speaker 1: you going to get out of worrying about the asteroid
Speaker 1: in the impending doom that will befall us? Nothing? Worry
Speaker 1: about something you can control. Worry about eating four cupcakes
Speaker 1: for lunch, or just the.
Speaker 2: One who has four cupcakes.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about getting cupcakes for your Super Bowl party,
Speaker 1: and I haven't stopped thinking about them because I saw
Speaker 1: them in the bake and they looked incredible, and I thought,
Speaker 1: I'm going to get cupcakes, and I was like, don't
Speaker 1: get cupcakes.
Speaker 2: This is in a third grade party. Get the cake.
Speaker 4: Somebody left an empty donut box on my seat in
Speaker 4: the office.
Speaker 3: Weird. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I looked at it and I thought, oh, donuts. Somebody
Speaker 4: brought donuts and I open it up and it's empty.
Speaker 4: Did they think they left over?
Speaker 1: Brought the donuts from your super Bowl party? And I
Speaker 1: wanted the discarded box. I have no idea, why are
Speaker 1: people so.
Speaker 4: My wife actually offered to get donuts on Sunday morning
Speaker 4: because she said donuts and mimosa sound great, and I
Speaker 4: was like.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, but that's before the party.
Speaker 4: Well that was before the party, and then when she
Speaker 4: saw the line at the donuts store, she was like, nah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Also, if you start the day with donuts and mimosas
Speaker 1: in your hosting super Bowl, that is a long day.
Speaker 4: She would have taken a nap. Yeah, one around kickoff
Speaker 4: if she said.
