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 is Gary and Shannon and
Speaker 1: you're listening to KFI AM six forty, The Gary and
Speaker 1: Shannon Show on demand on the iHeart Radio app.
Speaker 2: US Surgeon General Vivic Murphy is saying that alcohol is
Speaker 2: a leading cause of cancer and that should be clearly labeled.
Speaker 2: This advisory comes as a research and evidence mounts about
Speaker 2: the effects of alcohol and human health should be better informed.
Speaker 2: He says, we should be better informed about the link
Speaker 2: between alcohol and cancer in particular, and about twenty thousand people,
Speaker 2: he says, die every year from alcohol related cancer cases.
Speaker 2: Bottles of beer, wine liquor already carry warning labels about
Speaker 2: the risk of birth defects if a pregnant woman consumes alcohol,
Speaker 2: but this label would go further and would raise awareness
Speaker 2: about the risk for cancer as well.
Speaker 3: Morm and Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 4: This is Peter, good boy.
Speaker 3: I love your show. Gary. I think I might have
Speaker 3: caught you in an unprecedented Faux pahils are not metal.
Speaker 3: They metal reinforced concrete. Yes, the barriers that we usually
Speaker 3: see nowadays. I just thought you'd like to know.
Speaker 2: That is correct, That is right I'm thinking of I
Speaker 2: always thought that the k rail was the name of
Speaker 2: the metal barricade held up by wooden posts, usually because
Speaker 2: of the shape of the metal. I didn't realize that
Speaker 2: this this is a this I'm blown away now and
Speaker 2: I feel like my earth has shifted beneath it, and
Speaker 2: I am uncovere You you've known.
Speaker 1: I mean, when I had k rail up outside my house,
Speaker 1: you knew that that was called k rail.
Speaker 4: And I don't know why I thought it was.
Speaker 5: Is it your cognitive decline.
Speaker 4: Probably I'm starting to slip. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Jersey barrier, Jersey wall, Jersey bump, all of these, the
Speaker 2: modular concrete or plastic barrier, the barriers known as a
Speaker 2: K rail, which was stipulated in the California Department of
Speaker 2: Transportation specs for temporary concrete traffic barriers, which they started
Speaker 2: using in the mid forty Sometimes.
Speaker 1: We should do our own reading in our private time,
Speaker 1: Like I don't think we need to do a deep
Speaker 1: dive on the history.
Speaker 2: How high would you say is a typical Jersey barrier?
Speaker 2: I'll tell you thirty two inches?
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: Many are constructed with the embedded sheet steel portray it Jen.
Speaker 5: But I'm happy to say it's time for swamp watse.
Speaker 2: Wait before we get to that, I have one more
Speaker 2: very nice thing to play for us.
Speaker 6: Hi Gary, Hi Shannon Gary, Happy birthday.
Speaker 4: Thank you you guys.
Speaker 6: You just have to know how good it is to
Speaker 6: have you back on the air and the routine that
Speaker 6: we're all used to. I've called you many times. I'm
Speaker 6: eighty years old, I'm a fan, my husband's in memory care,
Speaker 6: and you know, just you keep me company every day.
Speaker 6: So thanks a lot for what you do. Bless you both.
Speaker 4: Thank you very less year.
Speaker 1: By the way, it is true, I don't like it
Speaker 1: when people mess with my routine. I mean, if I
Speaker 1: had a routine, I think I'd feel that way. Routine
Speaker 1: It's time for swamp was.
Speaker 2: Manna make it like a reality TV show?
Speaker 7: Bad Noos Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington,
Speaker 7: d C.
Speaker 5: Hey, Joe.
Speaker 7: A town hall too clearly built on a swamp and
Speaker 7: in so many ways still a swamp.
Speaker 4: I have a batch of mawarkee. What he said, drained
Speaker 4: the swamp. I said, oh that's so, you know the thing? Well,
Speaker 4: the call went out, do not go anywhere.
Speaker 2: We need everybody in the House to come back to
Speaker 2: the House floor. The first vote did not go Mike
Speaker 2: Johnson's way, so they've decided that they're going to turn
Speaker 2: around and vote again right away to see if they
Speaker 2: can get Mike Johnson as the Speaker of the House.
Speaker 1: Broken hips and all. Nancy Pelosi is back on the
Speaker 1: floor there.
Speaker 4: They it's just one. I don't know if it's well,
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 5: The second speaker vote, they say expected imminently.
Speaker 2: Yes, multiple holdouts that ultimately voted against Mike Johnson. We
Speaker 2: know about Thomas Massey, we know about Ralph Norman, and
Speaker 2: now we also had Congressman Keith self who opposed Mike
Speaker 2: Johnson on the floor, and it looks like we had
Speaker 2: guys like seven Republicans who did not vote during the
Speaker 2: initial roll call, Andy Biggs, Andrew Clyde, Michael Cloud, Paul Gosar,
Speaker 2: Andy Harris, chip Roy, and Michael Waltz is there but
Speaker 2: apparently missed his turn, so he didn't get to vote.
Speaker 2: At the end of the call, all seven of them
Speaker 2: were given a final chance to vote. All seven of
Speaker 2: them did, in fact vote for Johnson, but one of
Speaker 2: those holdouts Andrew Clyde walked down to the aisle to
Speaker 2: speak his vote directly to the clerk and was carrying
Speaker 2: what appears to be a bible.
Speaker 4: One of the whips in his speaker race.
Speaker 2: Dusty Johnson was seen in an animated back and forth
Speaker 2: with Chip Roy in the back of the chamber. Dusty
Speaker 2: Johnson also talking to Keith self, who did oppose Johnson
Speaker 2: on the floor, and then also Andrew Clyde as well.
Speaker 4: So Johnson left the House chamber.
Speaker 2: It appeared likely he didn't have enough votes to keep
Speaker 2: his gavel on this first ballot, and again they will
Speaker 2: be coming back.
Speaker 4: They will be doing a second vote.
Speaker 2: This is when that horse trading hand stuff takes place
Speaker 2: that you were talking about at the beginning.
Speaker 5: I would never say that that's vulgar.
Speaker 4: What happened in the last two hours.
Speaker 5: Ye have totally getting ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you see pictures from the floor, it looks
Speaker 1: like all hands stuff. So Matt Gates decided to take
Speaker 1: on this topic when he debuted his Matt Gates Show
Speaker 1: on the One America News network last night, but nobody
Speaker 1: was paying attention to what he said or anything the
Speaker 1: guest said. All people cared about who watched this was
Speaker 1: what happened to his face. And if you've seen Matt
Speaker 1: Gates through the years, you've known that his face has
Speaker 1: gone through many iterations.
Speaker 5: Well, it hasn't stopped, folks.
Speaker 1: He has a value card, a value punch card at
Speaker 1: his plastic surgeons, because they're pulling that thing in all
Speaker 1: sorts of directions.
Speaker 5: And I don't know.
Speaker 1: If it's in you know, cohorts with the with the
Speaker 1: Death of the Catwoman from New York.
Speaker 2: But he looks scarily like her. Tell me your opinions
Speaker 2: on the plastic surgery in men.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's more obvious in men, or maybe
Speaker 1: it's just because fewer men get it, so it seems
Speaker 1: more obvious. But sometimes, like when we're watching the television
Speaker 1: and certain people will come on and we'll be like,
Speaker 1: that guy's had work done. We don't do that with women.
Speaker 1: I see sometimes when it's obvious it's gone maybe a
Speaker 1: little bit too far.
Speaker 2: Well, the other question I have is is there an
Speaker 2: age where it's okay for men?
Speaker 5: Listen.
Speaker 1: I know you have a birthday coming up on Sunday,
Speaker 1: and maybe this is a conversation we have in private,
Speaker 1: but I think you look fine, just the way you are,
Speaker 1: and I don't think you should touch your face.
Speaker 4: I'm saying. Matt Gates is ten years younger than I.
Speaker 2: It's like my age, I think, And it has had
Speaker 2: a carload of things happen to men.
Speaker 1: Some men get into it really early. Why because they
Speaker 1: want to look perfect?
Speaker 2: But he's never looked perfect, and that's what he's striving.
Speaker 2: And the worst thing that he's doing is trying Who's
Speaker 2: telling him that it looks good?
Speaker 1: I don't know the guy with the needle. Sometimes maybe
Speaker 1: he's trying to fix things that you know. I mean
Speaker 1: in his face.
Speaker 2: It looks like he put his face through an Instagram filter.
Speaker 5: Right, and I think that's what he's going for.
Speaker 2: But I mean in the bad way, like one of
Speaker 2: the funny Instagram filters that makes it look like your
Speaker 2: face is contorting, not.
Speaker 1: Like the filters that I have. Rich he put all
Speaker 1: my photos.
Speaker 2: No, the like hey your ten your skinny, cheekbones are popping,
Speaker 2: teeth are white.
Speaker 5: It's crazy. None that she can do. Honestly, he's a
Speaker 5: freaking magician.
Speaker 4: His nose reminds me of like a who from Whoville.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not Richie. You're talking about Matt Gates right right.
Speaker 1: His eyebrows have become quite prominent because he did something
Speaker 1: with the forehead to where it like puts him down
Speaker 1: here and look like an evil villain.
Speaker 4: And he's like, nobody needs a bigger forehead. I should
Speaker 4: say very few people need a bigger forehead.
Speaker 5: Le's see what he looks like.
Speaker 1: They had like side by side pictures of him before
Speaker 1: he went through this latest thing of what he used
Speaker 1: to look like, and he was just kind of like
Speaker 1: chubby white guy, like just but now he's just and
Speaker 1: you know, he had it together, so that's what he
Speaker 1: started out looking like.
Speaker 5: That wasn't so bad, but he's taken that too far.
Speaker 2: He's addicted, Yeah, and he's you can't get away from
Speaker 2: it now because then you're gonna start hearing people say
Speaker 2: what happened to your face? And then you're going to
Speaker 2: go to the doctor and you're going to take me
Speaker 2: back to where I was. I don't want to live
Speaker 2: like this.
Speaker 5: It's like it's like a twilight Zone.
Speaker 4: It's a wonderful life. Yeah, like Harry Bailey's face.
Speaker 1: Dude. I sunk into the couch watching the Twilight's twilight
Speaker 1: Zone Marathon for New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
Speaker 1: I just sat there watched episode after episode, Like I
Speaker 1: don't have the entire collection.
Speaker 4: Just a couple of minutes. Was talking about your routine. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you don't like when you're routine.
Speaker 5: I was speaking for people who are routine oriented. My
Speaker 5: husband's a routine person.
Speaker 2: My routine is nine and a half hours at a
Speaker 2: go on the couch.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know she worked on that. Who's your favorite
Speaker 1: Spider Man? I think he was really Yeah, well then
Speaker 1: I apologize for my no.
Speaker 2: No, I that doesn't mean he has to come back.
Speaker 2: I don't mind moving on. We do different Spider man's
Speaker 2: I don't care. The Notre Dame fighting Irish beat up
Speaker 2: on Georgia last night.
Speaker 4: So Notre Dame is going.
Speaker 2: To take on Penn State in the upcoming semis yes,
Speaker 2: semi finals, and on the other end of it, it's
Speaker 2: going to be Texas and Ohio State ironically playing in Dallas,
Speaker 2: and Texas is going to be technically the visiting team
Speaker 2: in that one. Interesting, but that's just the way college
Speaker 2: football playoffs are going to go. And then, of course,
Speaker 2: the winner of those two teams will play in the
Speaker 2: National Championship, which comes up on the twentieth happens to
Speaker 2: be Inauguration Day, but it'll be the twentieth in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Am I the worst person in the world for saying
Speaker 1: that Toby maguire is my favorite Spider Man?
Speaker 4: No, I don't think so. Probably. I mean Andrew Garfield
Speaker 4: was kind of the mixed in there. He was like
Speaker 4: the lost.
Speaker 5: He was like a Tokyo drift.
Speaker 4: I was going to say he was the lost James Bond,
Speaker 4: but that's fine.
Speaker 5: Would you like your Jeopardy question?
Speaker 4: Oh God, I don't even know what our topic is?
Speaker 5: Ancient Greeks?
Speaker 4: Oh great?
Speaker 5: For twelve hundred, This is great.
Speaker 1: Want to read the surviving works of this philosopher who
Speaker 1: founded the Lyceum. You can see him in the Oxford
Speaker 1: Ribe friend's book. I guess you could just name any
Speaker 1: Greek philosopher. If you watch Legally Blonde, you know the
Speaker 1: answer to this.
Speaker 4: Lewis Petros papadekis.
Speaker 5: No Aristotle, very similar.
Speaker 2: All right, John Thune is going to take charge in
Speaker 2: the Senate. He's ushering in a new era over there.
Speaker 2: He's good at what he does, and he didn't have
Speaker 2: any problems over in the Senate picking a leader. But
Speaker 2: they are in the House, just a quick update. They
Speaker 2: are still they still not have they still not. They
Speaker 2: still have not gabbled out the first vote first round
Speaker 2: of voting for Speaker of the House, because if they do,
Speaker 2: they wouldn't be able to call for a quick recess.
Speaker 2: So they're keeping this thing going, giving Republicans an opportunity
Speaker 2: to kind of mill around the floor of the House talking,
Speaker 2: having these side conversations. The new House has yet to
Speaker 2: adopt formal rules to govern itself.
Speaker 4: Do you know why?
Speaker 2: Because they need to have a speaker to be able
Speaker 2: to do those things. The only option would be to
Speaker 2: take a formal break. Would have to be the entire
Speaker 2: chamber to vote to adjourn. That's more complicated than just
Speaker 2: holding this vote open longer. They have told people that
Speaker 2: they want to have them turn around and vote immediately
Speaker 2: for a second time, and at that point we're going
Speaker 2: to see exactly what goes on again. Mike Johnson does
Speaker 2: not have the votes, it appears in this first round
Speaker 2: of voting. They're gonna talk, they're gonna canoodle, they're gonna
Speaker 2: deal whatever they do.
Speaker 1: And the Centrists are pissed off at him now because
Speaker 1: he's making deals with the Conservatives and he's ciding, like
Speaker 1: you know, right before the first vote was cast, he
Speaker 1: goes on Twitter talks about how he'll help Elon Musk
Speaker 1: and Vivek Ramaswami, and so he's pissing off everybody a
Speaker 1: little bit.
Speaker 2: And there are at this point, I mean, there are
Speaker 2: three three Republicans who voted against him, and he can
Speaker 2: only stand to lose two. So that's why it is
Speaker 2: that he's not going to win that first vote. Can
Speaker 2: they change the mind? They're not going to change Thomas
Speaker 2: Massey's mind. He has come out and I think the
Speaker 2: term he used was you could pull out my fingernails
Speaker 2: and I'm not going to vote for a little graphic
Speaker 2: for Mike Johnson. You can pull all my fingernails out,
Speaker 2: you can shove bamboo up in them, you can start
Speaker 2: can cutting off my fingers. I am not voting for
Speaker 2: Mike Johnson tomorrow, and you can take that to the bank.
Speaker 4: Voting for Thomas No.
Speaker 2: He was on with again the weirdly faced Matt Gates
Speaker 2: last night.
Speaker 1: You're not John McCain. No one's doing warfare torture on you.
Speaker 4: That's a good point.
Speaker 2: Nobody wants to know how you're going to vote that badly.
Speaker 2: I do have a good story coming out of DC.
Speaker 2: President Biden is going to award the Medal of Honor,
Speaker 2: the nation's highest military decoration, to say US Army veterans,
Speaker 2: for heroism during the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
Speaker 2: Five of the recipients were killed in battle. Among the
Speaker 2: two who survived and being honored is Korean War Vet
Speaker 2: Richard Cavazos, became the first Hispanic four star general for
Speaker 2: the Army. Cavazos has since died, but he received the
Speaker 2: Medal of Honor. I should say is receiving the Medal
Speaker 2: of Honor for heroism when fighting as a first lieutenant
Speaker 2: in the Korean War. He previously received this Distinguished Service Cross.
Speaker 2: On May of twenty three, Fort Hood in Texas was
Speaker 2: renamed Fort Cavazos as part of this effort to rename
Speaker 2: some military installations after Confederate generals. There will be in fact,
Speaker 2: Charles Johnson, Corporal Fred McGee, Private Wataro Nakamura, Private Bruno
Speaker 2: orig also honored for actions in the Korean War. Captain
Speaker 2: Hugh Nelson and Private Kenneth David honored for their actions
Speaker 2: during the Vietnam War. It has also previously given the
Speaker 2: Distinguished Service Cross, the only recipient still alive. He's being
Speaker 2: awarded for gallantry in a nineteen seventy fight in which
Speaker 2: he helped his team of fourteen soldiers pushback hundreds of
Speaker 2: North Vietnamese troops.
Speaker 1: Coming up next, the Garyan Chin and Wellness Desk DRY
Speaker 1: January has more people this year than last year signing
Speaker 1: up for the sober month of January. Last year, twenty
Speaker 1: five percent of Americans avoided alcohol completely for the month.
Speaker 1: And they say, yeah, it's going to uptick this year
Speaker 1: as well. So what exactly does that happen? What does
Speaker 1: it do to your body? Also, children are getting kidney stones.
Speaker 4: Why is that?
Speaker 5: We'll give you one one guess there, because.
Speaker 4: We're letting them down.
Speaker 2: That's why a bunch of these members of Congress have
Speaker 2: brought their kids to this first day of the one
Speaker 2: hundred and nineteenth Lord. That's but a couple of late
Speaker 2: switches apparently have given Mike Johnson the votes that he
Speaker 2: needs to maintain the gavel as the Speaker.
Speaker 4: Of the House.
Speaker 1: Although I will say this, when I was a kid
Speaker 1: and I thought about the capital, and I thought about
Speaker 1: it when for a school trip, when I was sixteen
Speaker 1: or seventeen, I thought that it was very cool because
Speaker 1: that was before I was old enough to know that
Speaker 1: all of these people are horrors that don't care about
Speaker 1: the American people and only care about themselves.
Speaker 4: We can't say all of them.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's I would say lots of them, and
Speaker 2: there's got to be so.
Speaker 1: Well, because it was a different time too, I feel
Speaker 1: like the horrorness of the Congress has exponentially gotten worse stronger.
Speaker 1: They become stronger horrors.
Speaker 5: In the years, stronger horses. I'm sorry, Listen.
Speaker 2: We don't know exactly who it was yet that switched
Speaker 2: their votes, but we'll find out obviously in the bit.
Speaker 2: But again, it looks like Mike Johnson has been elected
Speaker 2: House Speaker.
Speaker 4: Again.
Speaker 2: They have been able to save some amount of face
Speaker 2: and despite the the turmoils back and forth, it looks
Speaker 2: like he's been re elected as House Speaker, and then
Speaker 2: Hakeem Jeffries will be probably re elected as the House
Speaker 2: Minority Leader, of course, the ranking Democrat in that body.
Speaker 2: So out of DC today as well, there is a
Speaker 2: new statement from the US Surgeon General Vivic Murphy. He
Speaker 2: wants to see alcoholic beverage. Beverages carry a warning label
Speaker 2: similar to what you might find on a pack of cigarettes.
Speaker 1: There's a strong link between alcohol and cancer, and they
Speaker 1: do believe that most people don't know that.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: For decades, moderate drinking was said to help prevent heart
Speaker 2: attacks and strokes. The latest perception a lot of studies
Speaker 2: will kind of point to, I don't know, Look a
Speaker 2: look at Italians. You know, they're big wine drinkers, and
Speaker 2: they don't necessarily have the same amount of heart disease
Speaker 2: that others do. Labels that are on bottles and cans
Speaker 2: of alcoholic beverages do warn about drinking, but they warn
Speaker 2: specifically drinking while pregnant, or drinking before you drive or
Speaker 2: operate other machinery and general health risks. But they said
Speaker 2: at least the Surgeon General says the alcohol directly contributes
Speaker 2: to one hundred thousand cancer cases a year and twenty
Speaker 2: thousand related deaths each year.
Speaker 1: They say the risks for cancers of the breast, the mouth,
Speaker 1: and the throat rise with consumption of as little as
Speaker 1: one drink a day or even less. Overall, one of
Speaker 1: every six breast cancer cases is attributable to alcohol consumption.
Speaker 5: One of every six.
Speaker 4: That's crazy.
Speaker 2: But again, I mean, this is the kind of stuff
Speaker 2: that I think that Vivac Murphy wants to have discussed,
Speaker 2: if nothing else, just to have that information out there
Speaker 2: and then you make a decision. This is an interesting
Speaker 2: time as well because the incoming administration. Old Trump famously
Speaker 2: is not a drinker and never has been because of
Speaker 2: his own family's history with alcoholism. RFK Junior, who would
Speaker 2: ostensibly become the head of the Health and Human Services,
Speaker 2: does not drink, does not do any drugs anymore. I mean,
Speaker 2: he had his very well publicized history little heroin addiction
Speaker 2: and some drinking stuff that was going on, but he
Speaker 2: swore off drugs and alcohol a long time ago. The
Speaker 2: question is, would a supporter I don't even know if that's.
Speaker 4: The right word. Would an I'll very loud, that's the pizza?
Speaker 4: Is it really? That's crazy loud. I'll say right thing.
Speaker 4: I'll be right back. Okay, is there nobody else who can?
Speaker 5: I guess? See, you know, I'll just I'll be down
Speaker 5: in a minute.
Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, Hi there.
Speaker 5: I'll be down in three minutes.
Speaker 1: Thanks byte, you're gonna send people for that?
Speaker 2: I don't know, why are you there's no question that
Speaker 2: heavy consumption of alcohol is dangerous. That's I mean, if
Speaker 2: not even just the health things, the situations that you
Speaker 2: put yourself in when you're drinking heavily right and be problematic.
Speaker 5: It looks like fun. I wonder if it would feel
Speaker 5: like to fly off of it.
Speaker 2: But supporters of moderate drinking, and again that phrase doesn't
Speaker 2: make a lot of sense, No, it doesn't.
Speaker 5: How would you just people who moderately drink.
Speaker 2: Maybe well, I mean they talk about the makers of
Speaker 2: wine and beer and spirits. Even some doctors and scientists
Speaker 2: have argued that.
Speaker 1: Because they've been paid for by the alcohol companies. Possibly,
Speaker 1: but they argue that doctors that would go on television
Speaker 1: until you smoking was good for your digestion.
Speaker 4: They were on your relaxation.
Speaker 2: They do argue that a little bit of alcohol each
Speaker 2: day can reduce may reduce I should say, cardiovascular disease.
Speaker 5: But so does exercise right and eating correctly.
Speaker 2: The newer studies point to those older studies and say,
Speaker 2: you guys did it wrong. The methodology was wrong, and
Speaker 2: a lot of them have changed their minds, and some
Speaker 2: have even come out. I think the World Health Organization
Speaker 2: has come out and said no amount of alcohol is
Speaker 2: good for you.
Speaker 5: Listen to how awful this is?
Speaker 1: Okay, So the theory about why this leads to cancer
Speaker 1: is that alcohol breaks down into as I listen, you're
Speaker 1: the scientist, a metabolite. Essentially the binds to DNA and
Speaker 1: damages it. So that's why the alcohol enables this metabolite
Speaker 1: to damage your DNA and that allows a cell to
Speaker 1: start growing uncontrollably and creating that malignant tumor.
Speaker 5: Listen to this part.
Speaker 1: Animal experiments have shown that rodents who's drinking water was
Speaker 1: spiked with ethanol developed large numbers of tumors all over
Speaker 1: their bodies. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, you're going to torture
Speaker 1: the animals to tell us that this is bad, that's awful.
Speaker 5: You have some ethanol, you'll learn.
Speaker 2: I'm talking like the most potent form of alb rights.
Speaker 2: I mean, ethanol is what it is that gets you drunk.
Speaker 2: But it's not like a West Coast ipa, no, exactly.
Speaker 1: They at least give the rat and IPA give.
Speaker 4: Him a choice of how he's gonna.
Speaker 5: Die, right, Pino grigio or something.
Speaker 2: But we've talked about dry January and dry most of January.
Speaker 2: There are a couple of different people. California based doctor
Speaker 2: specifically said that quitting alcohol for one month seems like
Speaker 2: a fad at first, but the benefits can be seen
Speaker 2: and felt long before your month is up, and could
Speaker 2: even contribute to longer periods of sobriety or cutting down.
Speaker 2: And again, the sobriety term is make it makes it
Speaker 2: sound like it's a binary thing. You're either completely addicted
Speaker 2: to alcohol or you're a teetotaler, and there's somewhere in
Speaker 2: the middle there you can be a responsible drinker. The
Speaker 2: question that this brings up is or what doctor Kristin
Speaker 2: Fuller is saying, you get into it for a few days.
Speaker 2: It depends how often you do you drink every day,
Speaker 2: do you drink every other day, how much do you
Speaker 2: drink each day?
Speaker 4: Do you drink only on the weekends.
Speaker 2: And if you make those decisions, you will find right away, Oh,
Speaker 2: I realize that it does impact my sleep, or I
Speaker 2: don't have to wake up feeling like that every day.
Speaker 2: And then sometimes she says that this is something that
Speaker 2: you want to sustain. I like the way that this feels,
Speaker 2: so I am going to cut way back and I'm
Speaker 2: not just going to say January thirty first is the
Speaker 2: end of it.
Speaker 1: So more kids are getting kidney stones. What's the reason. Oh,
Speaker 1: you know, ultra processed foods. We'll talk about it. Also,
Speaker 1: cruise ships, pack your diapers with you. It's because it's
Speaker 1: never been worse when it comes to stomach problems.
Speaker 4: Oh you mean for me, not just for the baby.
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, pretty dramatic turn of events if you're into
Speaker 2: that sort of thing. Lawmakers have elected Mike Johnson House
Speaker 2: Speaker again.
Speaker 4: On their first ballot.
Speaker 2: A couple of Republican detractors did flip their vote their
Speaker 2: votes to back Mike Johnson at the last minute. He
Speaker 2: was initially on track to lose, but he did get
Speaker 2: the two hundred and eighteen votes. Thomas Massey was the
Speaker 2: guy who voted for Tom Emmer. He said a long
Speaker 2: time ago that he was not going to vote for
Speaker 2: Mike Johnson once again, but apparently Ralph Norman and Keith
Speaker 2: self did change their votes after everyone had voted. The
Speaker 2: vote was held open for an extended period of time,
Speaker 2: so it wasn't gabbled to an official close, and Johnson
Speaker 2: walked to the room. He actually left the chamber for
Speaker 2: a while and came back in and it looks like
Speaker 2: Keith self and Ralph Norman were the ones that flip
Speaker 2: did flip their votes in support of Johnson. But here's
Speaker 2: the big thing. The big question is what did they get?
Speaker 2: What kind of ye what kind of.
Speaker 1: Problem was your genitals? And you're back, I think is
Speaker 1: the right. TI.
Speaker 7: I'll wash your back, cratch your back, whatever, wash the
Speaker 7: genital right, That's the way it goes.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, an update from yesterday's story about that plane crash
Speaker 1: in Fullerton, it looks like it was a pilot and
Speaker 1: its teenage daughter who were killed in that it was
Speaker 1: a kit plane.
Speaker 5: Make it at home, maintain it at home. FAA does
Speaker 5: check it out at some.
Speaker 1: Point, but nineteen people are injured after that small plane
Speaker 1: crashed through the roof of that warehouse and Fullerton, adjacent
Speaker 1: to the Fullerton Municipal Airport.
Speaker 2: Our last Gas Fantasy four playoffs coming up this week,
Speaker 2: at least for the regular season. I think we'll try
Speaker 2: to do a six pack for wild card weekend and
Speaker 2: then reconnoiter for a four pack for the division.
Speaker 5: So I guess I do have a chance to catch
Speaker 5: up with Jacob.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got some opportunity.
Speaker 1: I do have some opportunities. It's a create my own
Speaker 1: destiny kind of It is.
Speaker 2: One of those things you control your own desks, you
Speaker 2: sure do. Okay, So here we go. We're talking about
Speaker 2: our wellness desk, which is going to expand, I shall
Speaker 2: say probably in twenty twenty five, won't.
Speaker 1: It's in Clay building us a wellness desk. Clay, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna text him right now. He's been threatening to
Speaker 1: build us a wellness desk for months, a year, a year,
Speaker 1: a year. How's that wellness desk coming along?
Speaker 4: He might be busy.
Speaker 5: I'm sure he's busy. He's got a million things to do.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: Fifteen year old girl annabel Pleskoff woke up before school
Speaker 2: one morning and had pain that radiated from her right side.
Speaker 2: She goes to the emergency room. Doctor said, it's probably appendicitis.
Speaker 2: If it gets too bad, comeback. Well, it got worse,
Speaker 2: but it wasn't appendicitis. It was kidney stones.
Speaker 1: Kidney stone cases rising among children. Some medical professionals implicate
Speaker 1: a familiar culprit, the ultra processed foods. Now for Annabelle,
Speaker 1: she's twenty five now, she's had more than thirty kidney stone.
Speaker 1: It's probably something else going on with Annabelle.
Speaker 2: There is a chemical thing. You can be resusceptible to them,
Speaker 2: depending on diet. But listen, the kidney stones used to
Speaker 2: be a white, middle aged guy thing. I've had a
Speaker 2: couple of girlfriends that have had them, and one of
Speaker 2: the doctors, gregor Itasian, is a pediatric urologist at Children's
Speaker 2: Hospital of Philly and has done research on kidney stones
Speaker 2: and kids, said the disease effects adults and kids in
Speaker 2: similar ways because they're often the stones are made of
Speaker 2: calcium oxalate, but the profile of the pediatric and adult
Speaker 2: patients differs. The kids are young, they're healthy, they don't
Speaker 2: have the comorbid conditions that you think of. So treating
Speaker 2: stones and kids can involve medical management and in some
Speaker 2: cases actual surgical intervention. Usually it's an over the counter
Speaker 2: medication to deal with the pain, prescription drug that will
Speaker 2: then help dilate the ureader muscles, enabling the stone to
Speaker 2: pass through from the ureader to the bladder.
Speaker 5: Drink water, too, Water is good.
Speaker 2: A kid experience of kidney stones may also need antibiotics
Speaker 2: because they can develop a urinary tract infection. Which can
Speaker 2: occur when the stone obstructs the got a little faint, Yeah,
Speaker 2: the stone obstructs the urine flow. And you could also
Speaker 2: be prescribed to prevent infections after a procedure.
Speaker 7: Sometimes they have to let's not get into that. Sometimes
Speaker 7: no reason we need that knowledge. They have to do
Speaker 7: a uteroscopy. Stop it, sorry, your readeroscopy.
Speaker 1: This is stuff you talked to with your wife at
Speaker 1: home over dinner, not for all of us to hear about.
Speaker 1: Most mechanics of the scope going in the eurythra.
Speaker 2: What I love is they tell us where the scope
Speaker 2: ends up. They don't tell us where it starts. A
Speaker 2: scope enters the bladder and breaks up the stone directly
Speaker 2: or with shockwave litho trips stop it, which breaks up
Speaker 2: the stone into small pieces and then can pass.
Speaker 4: Okay, more good news.
Speaker 1: The cruise ship industry says that outbreaks of the neuro virus,
Speaker 1: it's been the worst year for stomach sickness in over
Speaker 1: a decade. What is it about cruise ships, Well, it's
Speaker 1: joint living, it's communal living, it's buffets.
Speaker 5: It's not washing the hands.
Speaker 2: More and more it seems like it's communal trauma that
Speaker 2: people are dealing with.
Speaker 1: I used to love cruises, but uh, and then one time. No,
Speaker 1: I haven't had that issue, but you know it just
Speaker 1: I think after the pandemic, I'm still a little squeamish
Speaker 1: about living with thousands of people in a small.
Speaker 5: Area like that.
Speaker 1: And it is the food, Like you don't know the
Speaker 1: chain of custody of your food. I like to know
Speaker 1: the chain of custody of my food, and I know
Speaker 1: it doesn't always happen, but on a large scale.
Speaker 2: Like that, you've got no freaking idea, they said. In
Speaker 2: these brown storm incidents, I think is what they call
Speaker 2: it in the cruise industry brown storms. Most of them
Speaker 2: have been caused by neurovirus. One of them was linked
Speaker 2: to E. Coli this year twenty twenty four, and another
Speaker 2: to salmonella, and in a few cases the causes have
Speaker 2: not been identified, but it's likely one of those. One
Speaker 2: of those three five December outbreaks affected four ships. Cunard, Line,
Speaker 2: Me and Queen Mary two had illnesses on back to
Speaker 2: back sailings on a current. The Current cruise three hundred
Speaker 2: and twenty six of almost twenty five hundred passengers and
Speaker 2: sixty five of the twelve hundred crew have reported that
Speaker 2: they're sick with vomiting, diarrhea, diarrhea.
Speaker 4: And stomach cramps, among others.
Speaker 2: This reminded me, and you just you just reminded me
Speaker 2: of how absolutely insane we were at the beginning of COVID.
Speaker 4: Remember the cruise ships.
Speaker 2: Yes, remember left We were talking about like, okay, well,
Speaker 2: what do we do with the cruise ship that's off
Speaker 2: the coast of San Francisco?
Speaker 4: Do we dare let it dock?
Speaker 1: We just left him there for a while, right, I forget.
Speaker 1: I tried to forget all of that stuff. That was
Speaker 1: a dark time, and.
Speaker 2: People who got COVID on these cruise ships became momentary celebrities.
Speaker 2: We're begging to get them on the phone and talk
Speaker 2: to them. We got a couple, yeah, and then like
Speaker 2: what's it like? They're like, oh, I have a cold, right,
Speaker 2: little body aches and stuff and runny nose and my
Speaker 2: sore throat and all that. And then the I don't
Speaker 2: know why he made me think of this, the hospital ship. Oh,
Speaker 2: it was brought to the port of La that's right,
Speaker 2: because we were gonna we were going to be overrun
Speaker 2: and there were going to be thousands of people in
Speaker 2: the streets dying from COVID. Yeah, and there were six
Speaker 2: was it six patients that were treated on that hospital
Speaker 2: ship or something ridiculously low like that.
Speaker 1: And speaking of cod COVID, you know who were those
Speaker 1: likely to die? The people who had the diabetes.
Speaker 4: We don't talk about them.
Speaker 5: Oh sorry, I'm just saying. It's part of the wellness
Speaker 5: desk of Let me get into this pizza, yeh, and
Speaker 5: preach more.
