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.
Speaker 2: Can I say that this is a fun show? It
Speaker 2: is a fun show. It's a fun show. We don't
Speaker 2: know where there.
Speaker 3: I mean, we have an idea, we have a skeleton
Speaker 3: of what the show is going to look like when
Speaker 3: we start.
Speaker 1: But sometimes the skeleton gets thrown out of the window. Today,
Speaker 1: the skeleton hasn't really been dealt with.
Speaker 3: What do you think what do you think is the
Speaker 3: issue that people are most interested in chiming in about today?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh, you being able to unhook a woman's bra with
Speaker 1: just a simple hug.
Speaker 3: Accidentally accidentally, No, that's not it. No, No, it's chlorine.
Speaker 4: So interesting fact about chlorine from somebody in the pool
Speaker 4: industry for thirty years. Chlorine itself will not turn your
Speaker 4: hair green unless you have metals in solution in the waters.
Speaker 2: Such as copper.
Speaker 4: If you have high copper and high chlorine, it will
Speaker 4: turn your head grain. Also, if you can smell chlorine
Speaker 4: in a public pool, it's because of what's.
Speaker 2: Called chloramines, where the chlorine.
Speaker 4: Is mixed or combined with byproducts such as ammonia, which.
Speaker 2: Is sweat pea.
Speaker 5: That's why you can smell it.
Speaker 2: Okay, chiers why they don't have vinyls in London.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say he's more knowledgeable because of his accent.
Speaker 6: Hey, Gary and shatter, Just another little trivia fact about
Speaker 6: the pool chlorinus of it's not the actual chlorine that
Speaker 6: makes your eyes red.
Speaker 7: It's usually the acidic but the pH of it.
Speaker 6: But mostly it's the urine in the pool that's it
Speaker 6: makes your eyes red. So yeah, I mean, you love
Speaker 6: the urine in the pool, so good for you, guys.
Speaker 2: But it's the pea in the pool that you guys.
Speaker 1: We were just having a little fun. We were just
Speaker 1: having a little bit of fun that was not well researched.
Speaker 2: We don't need Gary John here.
Speaker 8: Pool guy.
Speaker 2: You know what that chlorine smell that you think you're smelling.
Speaker 8: It's not actually chlorine.
Speaker 9: It's the chlorine breaking cell walls of microorganisms in there
Speaker 9: and off gassing there.
Speaker 8: So that's it.
Speaker 9: It's not you're not smelling chlorine, you're smelling killing.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 1: Can I just scold myself for ignorance for my entire life,
Speaker 1: I didn't know about pool guys. I didn't know that
Speaker 1: pool guys were chemists.
Speaker 2: I bet you we have an army of pool guys
Speaker 2: and gals. I mean they're chemists, understanding all.
Speaker 1: I just thought that, you know, like my dad would
Speaker 1: have for our pool, he would have one of these
Speaker 1: little plastic cylinder things.
Speaker 2: And you put the it looked like a pan.
Speaker 1: Float exactly, and you'd put a drop of water and
Speaker 1: you'd put some chemicals in and you'd make sure the
Speaker 1: p H is right. And that was that. There was
Speaker 1: no science involved.
Speaker 2: Well that is tech. That is exactly science.
Speaker 1: Right, But it looked like you know, child's apparatus.
Speaker 2: It didn't seem high levels.
Speaker 3: So it did not Good morning, Gary and jan almost
Speaker 3: afternoon whatever, Shannon. I talk about it every time when
Speaker 3: we both grew up in Nevado, and here you are.
Speaker 2: Talking about going to my pool. Sorry, miss I.
Speaker 1: Went to Catholic school and I had to go.
Speaker 2: To you know, the public hool I loved.
Speaker 1: I lived on Hamilton Field on Bowling Drive.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's so funny.
Speaker 1: I swear we must have run into each other at
Speaker 1: some point in time.
Speaker 2: If not, at least you probably saw my mom because.
Speaker 6: She worked at that burger king where the guy got
Speaker 6: busted for selling coke, got the drive through offering.
Speaker 1: Yes, pelvering keys, I may have gotten drugs from him.
Speaker 2: No, I'm just kidding. Don't do drugs. Kids. So the
Speaker 2: reason I loved going to the.
Speaker 1: Hamilton based pool is because I lived in this sheltered
Speaker 1: Catholic school world. Right, So when you got to go
Speaker 1: to Hamilton, you got to hang out with all the
Speaker 1: dangerous kids from the public schools, and they were my people.
Speaker 1: It's why I chose to go to public high school,
Speaker 1: probably because of that pool.
Speaker 2: It's time for swamp watch.
Speaker 5: Swamp is horrible.
Speaker 2: The government man make It's like an I love zat
Speaker 2: Burger King.
Speaker 5: What was Badu?
Speaker 2: Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d c. Hey,
Speaker 2: Joey a town.
Speaker 3: Hall too, clearly built on a swamp and in so
Speaker 3: many ways.
Speaker 5: Still a swamp.
Speaker 2: A bunch of Milwaukee. What he said drained the swamp.
Speaker 2: I said, Oh, that's so, hope keep you know.
Speaker 1: Margaret wrote to us, quoting us, Googles are for communists
Speaker 1: and Canadians.
Speaker 2: She writes, I am dead.
Speaker 1: Goggles are for goggle excuse me, and not googles. She says,
Speaker 1: I am dead. Done for the day. We can all
Speaker 1: go home.
Speaker 2: Oh that's great, Well, thank you for that, appreciate it.
Speaker 2: And by the way, all of this live.
Speaker 3: But tomorrow, in front of you, in front of people
Speaker 3: at the news of rus At Luchad.
Speaker 2: Tomorrow will have the pH levels correct.
Speaker 3: I sure hope. So if it starts smelling like chlorine,
Speaker 3: we're in big trouble. This morning, President Biden came out
Speaker 3: to the Rose Garden to address the nation.
Speaker 2: We'll do my duty as president.
Speaker 10: I'll fulfill my oath, and I wanted the Constitution on
Speaker 10: January twenty, we'll have a peaceful transfer of power here
Speaker 10: in America.
Speaker 3: He did not do what you were expecting him to do,
Speaker 3: which was to pass the torch to Kamala Harrison make
Speaker 3: her the forty seventh president, although there's still time.
Speaker 2: He did say some nice things about it.
Speaker 10: Ran an inspiring campaign, and everyone got to see something
Speaker 10: that I learned early on to respect so much her character.
Speaker 10: She has a backbone like a ramrod. She has great character,
Speaker 10: true character. She gave her whole heart effort, and she
Speaker 10: and her entire team should be proud of the campaign
Speaker 10: they ran.
Speaker 3: I don't know, you know what you didn't get a
Speaker 3: lot of that. Sorry, no, I was gonna say. I
Speaker 3: don't know what what he honestly feels about.
Speaker 2: I don't think he likes her. Well, that's what we've
Speaker 2: kind of said that, right, we've kind of.
Speaker 1: This is him saying, I told you so, I could
Speaker 1: have beat Trump. She did not outperform me in any
Speaker 1: counties in the entire country. Is he sounded like he
Speaker 1: has more energy than he has in a long time.
Speaker 1: He is excited.
Speaker 2: I don't think he could have beaten Trump. No, not
Speaker 2: in his not in his state.
Speaker 1: That was unveiled to us, right, but he still believes
Speaker 1: in his mind that he could have done a better
Speaker 1: job than she did.
Speaker 2: Probably, Yeah, And I do wonder what sort of.
Speaker 3: How does that play out for the day he's still
Speaker 3: president for three months, two months, two and a half months,
Speaker 3: I mean he's she's still vice president for two and
Speaker 3: a half months.
Speaker 2: What's that? What's that?
Speaker 8: What's that?
Speaker 2: Lunchtime meeting? Sound like that?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm thinking, you know, you didn't
Speaker 1: hear a lot of people coming out. I mean you
Speaker 1: had people coming out and saying not Trump, not Trump,
Speaker 1: not Trump, Oprah, Beyonce.
Speaker 5: What have you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you did have a lot of people.
Speaker 1: Coming out that have worked with Kamala Harris and saying
Speaker 1: this is what she stands for, this is who she
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? That was missing because I
Speaker 1: almost have whiplash thinking about us sitting here reporting on
Speaker 1: all the reports that came out about her staff and
Speaker 1: the exodus because she was such a not nice boss
Speaker 1: that that we went from that almost within a couple
Speaker 1: of months to her being the candidate and them trying
Speaker 1: to shine that up.
Speaker 3: There are a couple things about the aftermath of the election.
Speaker 3: One of them was that Iowa Des Moines Register poll
Speaker 3: that came out. That's an interesting, weird outlier poll and
Speaker 3: the woman who was in charge of it comes out.
Speaker 3: But also what is four b oh?
Speaker 2: Is this that.
Speaker 1: The Asian women feminist movement?
Speaker 2: Korean feminists? Yeah? Four b and what it has to
Speaker 2: do with the election?
Speaker 8: Hey, Garry Shannon loved the show and all that. You
Speaker 8: guys are great, Just curious, are you guys gonna be
Speaker 8: keeping that Satan swamp watching? Are y'all gonna be you know,
Speaker 8: changing it up and mixing it up. Won't be upset
Speaker 8: either way, Just very curious about that.
Speaker 3: I think the plan would be to do it at
Speaker 3: the changing of the guard. Shall we see January January
Speaker 3: probably whether we do it January first or whenever we're
Speaker 3: there that week for the beginning of the Congress or
Speaker 3: at the inauguration.
Speaker 2: Right but early next year, we'll say that.
Speaker 1: Sure, we do have our eye on that fire, the
Speaker 1: massive one in Ventura County, fourteen thousand, five hundred acres
Speaker 1: at this point, zero containment this morning. Nothing short of
Speaker 1: heroic efforts from all of the authorities there for that
Speaker 1: ground effort. In those firefighters, they said that the environmental
Speaker 1: recipe for this one is what made it a killer.
Speaker 1: Two years with above average rain means a lot of grass,
Speaker 1: which means fine fuels receptive to wind and warmth, which
Speaker 1: is what these red flag conditions bring us. Channel seven
Speaker 1: counted this morning eighty three homes lost in Camaro Springs there,
Speaker 1: so we will keep our eye on that. There is
Speaker 1: another fire that is popped up in Orange County along
Speaker 1: the ninety one in Anaheim, so they've closed a lane there.
Speaker 1: It's right east of Imperial Highway.
Speaker 2: Back into swamp Watch.
Speaker 3: We'll talk about President elect Donald Trump and the plans
Speaker 3: that he's got for these next several weeks before he
Speaker 3: gets inaugurated, and that's going to be putting together all
Speaker 3: of the appointees that have to make up the Trump
Speaker 3: government as we go forward. Robert Sherman from News Nation
Speaker 3: is joining us once again. And this is this is
Speaker 3: not an unusual task. Every president incoming president has to
Speaker 3: do it. But is he going to take a different
Speaker 3: tack on it this year?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that's what it seems at this point.
Speaker 7: I Mean, one of the points that they've made is
Speaker 7: very clearly is that they want all this to look
Speaker 7: different than it did in twenty and sixteen. And from
Speaker 7: all indications so far, that seems to be the case.
Speaker 7: I mean, just from some of the names that you've
Speaker 7: heard him mention that he wants to be involved in
Speaker 7: the government in some capacity, whether that's Robert F. Kennedy Junior,
Speaker 7: whether that's Elon Musk. I mean, all of this is
Speaker 7: still very much so in the stratosphere. Nothing has been
Speaker 7: finalized yet, but here's some of these names. I mean,
Speaker 7: this does all seem like a different tact for sure.
Speaker 1: This is a guy who is all in when it
Speaker 1: comes to nepotism. Do you see his sons taking up
Speaker 1: any posts.
Speaker 7: I mean, especially on the transition team. That's our understanding
Speaker 7: is is that both Donald Trump Junior and Eric Trump
Speaker 7: are going to play a role in this whole vetting
Speaker 7: process at least. I mean, that's what the indication has been.
Speaker 7: And keep in mind is that the election only happened
Speaker 7: two days ago. But these conversations about what a transition
Speaker 7: process would look like and what a transition team would
Speaker 7: look like, this has been ongoing for months up to
Speaker 7: this point, so some of those frameworks are starting to
Speaker 7: come together.
Speaker 3: Any big names in terms of potential cabinet positions or
Speaker 3: is it too early for that sort of discussion.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean there are names that are being thrown around,
Speaker 7: and there's a swirl, you know, as to you know,
Speaker 7: who the base wants and such. I mean some of
Speaker 7: these names that you've seen on the campaign trail, they Ramaswami,
Speaker 7: Doug Bergham. I mean, we hear these names a lot again.
Speaker 8: Robert F.
Speaker 7: Kenney Junior, Elon Musk. I mean, those are some of
Speaker 7: the names that you're hearing being thrown around. Nothing has
Speaker 7: been formally flatted, I would say that with emphasis, but
Speaker 7: keep in mind you are talking about a finite time
Speaker 7: frame here of seventy four days until the inauguration or so,
Speaker 7: so there is a lot that has to be done
Speaker 7: from now until January.
Speaker 3: One of the names that I would I would be
Speaker 3: curious to see if it gets any traction is Ron DeSantis,
Speaker 3: obviously governor out of Florida, who did run for the
Speaker 3: nomination but didn't do very well in terms of stacking
Speaker 3: up against former President Trump. But he is wildly successful
Speaker 3: now in Florida, which has become a pretty reliable red state.
Speaker 2: Does would he have any position?
Speaker 3: I mean, that seems like he would be an easy
Speaker 3: pick to at least garner a good favor for the
Speaker 3: people in Florida.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it's quite possible. I mean you even heard,
Speaker 7: you know, Florida Governor Ronda Santa is putting out his
Speaker 7: pick for helping human services, you know, who he would
Speaker 7: like to see there. So, I mean he's been vocal
Speaker 7: about who he'd like to see on the cabinet in
Speaker 7: terms of could he be there, I mean possibly, I
Speaker 7: mean anything is open right now. And keep in mind,
Speaker 7: you know, I mean there's there's a whole process, you know,
Speaker 7: when it comes to putting people onto the cabinet as well,
Speaker 7: so there's a long way to go with all of this.
Speaker 7: I mean, it just totally remains to be seen because
Speaker 7: it is so early in the ballgame.
Speaker 2: And Baron's out right, he's not He's got school to
Speaker 2: go to. He's not going to be anything.
Speaker 7: Could just say never say never about anything at this point.
Speaker 7: But we shall see. We still see how all this
Speaker 7: plays out.
Speaker 3: He'd definitely be the center in the pickup basketball game though.
Speaker 3: I think he's about seven foot seven by.
Speaker 7: Now, no doubt.
Speaker 1: Robert Sherman, thank you so much for joining us. Appreciate it.
Speaker 7: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Robert.
Speaker 1: There from a news nation. Vladimir Putin has entered the
Speaker 1: group Chat okay.
Speaker 2: He says, I would like to take this.
Speaker 1: Opportunity to congratulate Trump on his election as president of
Speaker 1: the United States of America. As to what he expects
Speaker 1: from a second Trump presidency, he said, I don't know
Speaker 1: what will happen now. I have no idea for him.
Speaker 1: This is still his last presidential term. What he will
Speaker 1: do is his matter. But he did add about Trump's
Speaker 1: comments when it came to Ukraine and restoring relations with
Speaker 1: Russia and wanting to help end the Ukrainian crisis. They
Speaker 1: said that this was somebody who claimed he would negotiate
Speaker 1: an end of the conflict in Ukraine in twenty.
Speaker 3: Four hours, and he said he would do it before
Speaker 3: he even became president.
Speaker 2: Ah.
Speaker 3: There are some women who say they are trying to
Speaker 3: take back their agency, and they're turning to a radical
Speaker 3: Korean feminist movement to do so. It's called four B.
Speaker 3: The B is actually a shorthand for the word no
Speaker 3: in Korean. So the four knows no sex, no dating,
Speaker 3: no marriage, no children, wow, in order to take back
Speaker 3: their agency?
Speaker 2: Is this like a Handmaid's Tale type? Ida ever watched it?
Speaker 7: So?
Speaker 2: No sex though? Huh? Well with men? Uh?
Speaker 1: Well, you're not gonna have sex with women if you're
Speaker 1: if you're not into it?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: Well yeah, but I mean, I mean, would you have
Speaker 3: sex with a man if you couldn't have sex with women?
Speaker 2: Not if I was not into it? Just what you said,
Speaker 2: you do you? No, that's not I love that. You
Speaker 2: don't shut the door on love. That's not what I said.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, Gary, Wait a minute, no tech talk.
Speaker 2: It's time for tech talk.
Speaker 5: The machines are getting smarter. This is tech talk, brought
Speaker 5: to you by Skynet.
Speaker 3: Well one of the calming voices on this show is
Speaker 3: Mark Saltzman, the host of the tech it Out podcast
Speaker 3: and the writer of many incredible tech really articles over
Speaker 3: the course of his lifetime his lifetime, well, I mean
Speaker 3: so far on his lifetime.
Speaker 2: He is the tech guru of our lifetime.
Speaker 11: Well, thank you, Gary and Shannon. I'm doing my poor
Speaker 11: attempt at a very low voice. Yeah, it is terrible.
Speaker 11: That was awful. Oh my goodness. Yeah, and I'm a
Speaker 11: little nasal today, a little allergy. You know, we suffering.
Speaker 1: People are obviously in this country talking about the election,
Speaker 1: and some people are having some some feelings.
Speaker 2: Related to the election.
Speaker 1: And today you're going to be telling us about free
Speaker 1: apps for relaxation and stress relief.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 11: I think everybody in every country has been talking about
Speaker 11: the election. You know, it's not just that's true in
Speaker 11: the US of a.
Speaker 1: How are people in other countries reacting though, with trauma
Speaker 1: and stress and sadness?
Speaker 5: Yes and no.
Speaker 11: I mean, obviously we don't have as much skin in
Speaker 11: the game as those who live in the country, but
Speaker 11: as as a Canadian, the US is our biggest trading partner,
Speaker 11: so that could affect it could affect us.
Speaker 5: Or the wars in the Middle East.
Speaker 11: Depending on where you sit on that, you you are
Speaker 11: you're either happy or very upset about the results of
Speaker 11: the election. It's big news anyway you slice it. And
Speaker 11: so yeah, I have friends in the Great White North
Speaker 11: here who are either miserable this week, you know, the
Speaker 11: the the Democrats, and then of course or as we
Speaker 11: call them, the Liberals, and then of course the team
Speaker 11: read people are happy up here at Conservatives, but yeah,
Speaker 11: the Republicans.
Speaker 2: So yeah.
Speaker 5: But either way, if you are, whether you're.
Speaker 11: Happy and you're you need to just calm down and enjoy,
Speaker 11: you know, get back to your your equilibrium, or you're
Speaker 11: very upset and you need to take your mind off
Speaker 11: of the election news. I did write an article that
Speaker 11: looked at some mindfulness and meditation apps that you can
Speaker 11: you can take advantage of. You've probably seen ads even
Speaker 11: during the election. In fact, I was watching I think
Speaker 11: it was CNN. It had a thirty minute, silent, thirty
Speaker 11: second ad purchased by Calm, and it said this thirty
Speaker 11: second ad is is completely silent, You're welcome.
Speaker 5: And they just put the Calm logo at the end.
Speaker 11: That was during the CNN broadcast of during election night.
Speaker 11: So Calm is probably the most popular app for getting
Speaker 11: little bits of you know, little moments of zen throughout
Speaker 11: the day. It works with smart speakers, tablets, computers, smartphones,
Speaker 11: whatever you have with you. It's free to start, and
Speaker 11: then there is a premium sort of subscription that gives
Speaker 11: you access to more content. But whatever you're looking to
Speaker 11: be calm about, whether you're having trouble sleeping or you
Speaker 11: want to reduce stress and anxiety throughout the day, there's
Speaker 11: a lot of these sessions that are anywhere between two
Speaker 11: minutes and thirty minutes long, so great for beginners.
Speaker 5: That's simply calm dot com.
Speaker 11: And a little pro tip if you have a smart speaker,
Speaker 11: you can actually ask it without installing anything. You can
Speaker 11: just say open Calm, say the wake word first, and
Speaker 11: then say open Calm and it'll start guiding you through
Speaker 11: meditative sessions.
Speaker 5: Cool.
Speaker 2: Are you afraid to say the wake word? Well, I
Speaker 2: don't want your listeners speakers to go off.
Speaker 5: You want to do it, fine, I don't want.
Speaker 11: The haymail, you know, especially as I said, bleeding hearts liberals.
Speaker 11: You know, I'm going to get the Yeah. Another popular
Speaker 11: one along with comm is Headspace. This is a UK
Speaker 11: based app that will also give you meditation and mindfulness sessions.
Speaker 5: Again, you can choose what you want to work.
Speaker 11: On and you're going to hear these very calming voices
Speaker 11: much better than what I was trying to pull off
Speaker 11: a few minutes ago. Simple Habit is another app. So
Speaker 11: there's no shortage of ones out there. And just to
Speaker 11: be clear, I'm not referring to apps where you are
Speaker 11: paired up with a therapist. That's a whole other thing altogether.
Speaker 11: But this AARP article that I wrote. If you do
Speaker 11: want to google my name, Mark Saltzman, Mark with a
Speaker 11: c and meditation apps there you will find some that have,
Speaker 11: you know, the the ability to cann with a licensed
Speaker 11: therapist over like text message, video call, or audio call.
Speaker 3: Speaking of anxiety, a lot of people get anxious over
Speaker 3: their the batteries on their phones, and I've tried to
Speaker 3: do the thing where I only limit it to you know,
Speaker 3: eighty percent charge on a regular basis and that sort
Speaker 3: of thing to try to extend the life of the battery.
Speaker 2: What are some other ways that we can do that.
Speaker 11: Yeah, So that's a good tip to extend the overall
Speaker 11: health of your battery. Yeah, don't let your phone fall
Speaker 11: below twenty percent and don't charge it all the way
Speaker 11: to one hundred percent. A lot of people are guilty
Speaker 11: of that, especially if you plug it in overnight and
Speaker 11: you go to bed.
Speaker 5: It's obviously going to go to one hundred percent.
Speaker 11: Not ideal if you can help it, because there's only
Speaker 11: so many cycles battery cycles that that phone can handle.
Speaker 11: So the idea is to keep it around eighty percent
Speaker 11: if you can, but regular data to day tips to
Speaker 11: extend the battery life of your phone, whether it's an
Speaker 11: iPhone or an Android. If you're looking at your phone
Speaker 11: and it's barely lunchtime and it's got, you know, twenty
Speaker 11: percent left, that's not good. So there's a couple things
Speaker 11: you can do. One is to dim the screen. You
Speaker 11: don't it so bright where you're getting a tan. You
Speaker 11: can dim it down to at least half and make
Speaker 11: that on by default, or just go into the options
Speaker 11: or the settings and use your fingertip to lower the brightness.
Speaker 11: That will help extend battery life significantly. Another one is
Speaker 11: to when you don't use your phone and you put
Speaker 11: it down the timeout mode or idle mode, it's probably
Speaker 11: set to a minute where if you're not touching or
Speaker 11: looking at your screen, it's still on and thus consuming power.
Speaker 11: But you could reduce the idle time. So we'll go
Speaker 11: to sleep and then lock your phone after say ten
Speaker 11: seconds if you like. If that's too short, you'll find
Speaker 11: the sweet spot for yourself. But you go into the
Speaker 11: settings once again, whether it's iPhone or Android, and you can.
Speaker 5: I think thirty seconds is good.
Speaker 11: You know, if you're not looking at your phone for
Speaker 11: thirty seconds, have the screen go dark and it locks.
Speaker 11: And then the third option is when you really need it.
Speaker 11: If you're on a you know you're away from any
Speaker 11: kind of plug and you're looking at low battery life,
Speaker 11: put on power saving mode. It's called something a little
Speaker 11: bit different. On iPhone it's called low power mode. On
Speaker 11: Android it's called something else, and it depends on which
Speaker 11: Android you have, But you go into the settings and
Speaker 11: it will reduce the screen brightness. It may even turn
Speaker 11: off some wireless radios you're not using, like NFC where
Speaker 11: you tap your phone to buy something at retail, so
Speaker 11: it'll do that for you. And then one more tip
Speaker 11: is to watch out for those apps that are you know,
Speaker 11: very memory intensive that will accelerate that battery drain faster
Speaker 11: than others. So playing video games, watching movies those are
Speaker 11: often or editing photos and videos that requires a lot
Speaker 11: of power and that's a lot more pressure on the
Speaker 11: battery compared to things like browsing the web, reading your email,
Speaker 11: writing some notes. That's a low intensive you know activity
Speaker 11: on your phone, so keep that in mind.
Speaker 5: And one more bonus.
Speaker 11: Tip is always update your operating system. I know some
Speaker 11: people wait because they're worried about it running slower, but
Speaker 11: generally speaking, you're encouraged to update the battery because they
Speaker 11: will find ways to extend the battery with those iOS
Speaker 11: updates and Android Google updates.
Speaker 3: And that is one of their goals every time, right,
Speaker 3: is to try to maximize their battery life.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a huge priority.
Speaker 11: So those engineers are working away at ways to get
Speaker 11: more life out of the battery because that's one of
Speaker 11: the biggest pain points for any smartphone owner, even though
Speaker 11: both iPhone and Android are getting better year after year
Speaker 11: generally with bigger batteries too. But these tips will help
Speaker 11: for sure. And that by the way, this also works
Speaker 11: with your tablet and your laptop. You know, setting that

Speaker 3: tiny little like life Sazers Life safer sized little tablets now,
Speaker 3: but they used to be bit now, grant that I

Speaker 3: it used to be the size of about a silver dollar.
Speaker 3: And it was a giant piece of just raw flavored.

Speaker 12: back to a beautiful summer afternoon in Las.
Speaker 2: Vegas and those nice clean sanitary pools. Oh god, how
Speaker 2: many I think you just got pregnant?
Speaker 3: How many?
Speaker 9: This is mad cow from Nevado, sammarin California, And we
Speaker 9: would never go to your stinky Hamilton Pool.
Speaker 5: We were the elite.
Speaker 1: You went to the country club. Country club, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: went there.
Speaker 9: Was I pretty much had a residency there for three months,
Speaker 9: all right off with their heads.
Speaker 2: I would never have.
Speaker 1: I remember going to Rolling Hills once with a friend
Speaker 1: who had the family had a you know whatever it
Speaker 1: is membership, sure, and just feeling like I did not belong.
Speaker 1: I knew I did not belong. I did not belong.
Speaker 1: Hamilton Public Pool was my place, my people.
Speaker 3: There was a I don't even know if it was
Speaker 3: a country guild. There's a golf club in Petaluma that
Speaker 3: I went to once with my dad and never felt,
Speaker 3: like you said, never felt comfortable totally. He was there
Speaker 3: with some guys from work and they're playing golf and
Speaker 3: I just remember, like you.
Speaker 2: Just know your place there. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albani's has announced what he's calling
Speaker 3: a world leading plan to implement a social media ban
Speaker 3: for any kid under the age of sixteen. They're still
Speaker 3: fleshing out some of the details of all of this,
Speaker 3: but he says that one of the pieces is an
Speaker 3: age verification process where the onus is actually on the
Speaker 3: social media platform to demonstrate that they're taking reasonable steps
Speaker 3: to prevent access to the platforms for kids under the
Speaker 3: age of sixteen.
Speaker 1: They said that this would not apply to young people
Speaker 1: already on social media. There would be no exemptions on
Speaker 1: the age limit for kids who have their parents' consent.
Speaker 3: That is similar to a policy that it's not Australia's policy.
Speaker 2: I believe it's New Zealand's policy.
Speaker 3: They want to eradicate all smoking in New Zealand, and
Speaker 3: one of the things that they are doing is constantly
Speaker 3: moving a constantly moving ban on cigarette sales. So anybody,
Speaker 3: for example today who's eighteen, I'm not getting the numbers right,
Speaker 3: but just as an example, if you're eighteen in New Zealand,
Speaker 3: you can buy cigarettes now, but the ban will go
Speaker 3: into effect where the current kids who are seventeen, they're
Speaker 3: going to have to wait until they're twenty one, and
Speaker 3: that sliding scale is going to continue to move up
Speaker 3: until there is a point in the future where all
Speaker 3: cigarette sales would be banned. And it sounds like that's
Speaker 3: what they're kind of doing with social media in Australia.
Speaker 1: So how does their government work. I mean, they can just.
Speaker 3: Like what is the freedom of speech. When it comes
Speaker 3: to Australia have speech.
Speaker 2: It exists in a much different way.
Speaker 3: I mean, if Canada and the UK are any example,
Speaker 3: because they're members of Commonwealth, I assume that their government
Speaker 3: is probably pretty similar. It just doesn't exist the way
Speaker 3: we have it today. It's not as protected and as
Speaker 3: valued as it is here in the United States.
Speaker 1: Is the koala the national animal of Australia?
Speaker 2: It is, at least in If not, what a missed opportunity, Well.
Speaker 3: They have other un animal. It could be a kangaroo.
Speaker 3: I do like a kangaroo, right, I think everybody likes
Speaker 3: a kangaroo.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: The national animal of Australia is the red kangaroo. The
Speaker 1: kangaroo became an official symbol of Australia in nineteen o
Speaker 1: eight when it was added to the country's coat of arms.
Speaker 1: The kangaroo is also featured on the right side of
Speaker 1: the coat of arms, with an emu on the left.
Speaker 2: Nimo would be an other one. That would be another
Speaker 2: good one? Interesting tomorrow? How all the way did you know?
Speaker 1: Fascinating that a male kangaroo can be six foot seven?
Speaker 2: Yes, they get big. Oh those are big boys. A
Speaker 2: surprise to me.
Speaker 3: Hey, tomorrow, all of this magic right in front of
Speaker 3: the faces.
Speaker 2: Oh, we're gonna be live.
