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. Yesterday, we got a big announcement
Speaker 1: from Mountain Riverside that Sheriff Chad Bianco is going to
Speaker 1: join the governor's race. The first major Republican candidate we've
Speaker 1: seen throw his or her, in this case, his hat
Speaker 1: into the ring. Sheriff Bianco, thanks for taking time for
Speaker 1: us again today.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, thanks for having me on.
Speaker 3: Let's get into it quickly.
Speaker 1: How does a Republican break through in California considering the
Speaker 1: makeup of the electorate and the way that we run
Speaker 1: elections here with the top two primaries.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the nature of what we are experiencing
Speaker 2: in California is doing that for us. I don't think
Speaker 2: it's going to be a Republican per se that does
Speaker 2: that breaking in. So Prop thirty six showed us that
Speaker 2: overwhelmingly seventy three percent of this state wants a different direction,
Speaker 2: particularly when it goes with public safety, and public safety
Speaker 2: he carries into every other aspect of our lives. So
Speaker 2: I think people are done voting dn R. They're going
Speaker 2: to vote for what is right for what they think
Speaker 2: is going to help. And this campaign is going to
Speaker 2: be about proving to them and showing them that a
Speaker 2: electing a leader to actually go into Sacramento and make
Speaker 2: some changes is the direction that we need rather than
Speaker 2: a personality or a millionaire or a billionaire, whatever it
Speaker 2: is that's caused us to vote in the past, we
Speaker 2: certainly haven't put leadership there, and I think that's what
Speaker 2: we're starving for here, honesty, integrity, and we intend to
Speaker 2: deliver that.
Speaker 1: What kind of work have you done with Riverside County
Speaker 1: Sheriff's Department in your career in law enforcement would translate
Speaker 1: to being the chief executive of one of the largest
Speaker 1: economies in the world.
Speaker 2: That's a great question. And if you go back, if
Speaker 2: you had a history here or you knew the history.
Speaker 2: When I took over as sheriff, and even the election
Speaker 2: leading up to it, our department was failing. I mean
Speaker 2: everything about us was failing. People were leaving and drove,
Speaker 2: We couldn't provide services, and internally it was a lack
Speaker 2: of leadership. That is what forced me really into running
Speaker 2: because I knew we weren't doing what we should have
Speaker 2: been doing. And it was a complete overhaul in leadership
Speaker 2: of our organization and then a direction changed with a
Speaker 2: mindset of being the best of everything to provide better
Speaker 2: service to everyone else. And once I got in here
Speaker 2: and started doing that, it transitioned over into helping other
Speaker 2: departments within our county county agencies. And I can tell
Speaker 2: you our county government is extremely strong, were extremely cohesive,
Speaker 2: and we got over the differences of conservatives and liberals,
Speaker 2: and we truly did. And they tell me, I'm not
Speaker 2: saying this, This is other people telling me this that
Speaker 2: it was because of my leadership here in how we
Speaker 2: got things done to provide a better service to the community.
Speaker 2: And this is I'm just going to jump up to
Speaker 2: a bigger scale and do this for all of Californians
Speaker 2: instead of special interests.
Speaker 1: What's on with Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco announced yesterday
Speaker 1: that he's going to run for Governor Gavin Newsom, of course,
Speaker 1: turned out for twenty twenty six, we've seen some pretty
Speaker 1: wild swings in terms of the state budget, from a
Speaker 1: very large surplus to a very large deficit. How do
Speaker 1: you get control of those wild budget swings that we've
Speaker 1: seen out of Sacramento.
Speaker 2: You know, honestly, this is common sense, and it truly
Speaker 2: is easy. I am a very fiscally conservative person. We
Speaker 2: all have to admit we don't like paying taxes, and
Speaker 2: it makes it worse when we see where our taxpayer
Speaker 2: money is being spent. And when you have a mentality,
Speaker 2: a very progressive liberal mentality that you have an unlimited
Speaker 2: supply of money and you can just dole money out
Speaker 2: to wherever you want, we see these failures, and I
Speaker 2: mean it was it was my department. We were wasting
Speaker 2: money hand over fist and the I've got over a
Speaker 2: billion dollar budget and we are good with it every
Speaker 2: single year. We are very fiscally conservative, good managers of
Speaker 2: our money, and it's putting the right people in place
Speaker 2: with what is most importantly the right direction of doing
Speaker 2: what we should be doing with our taxpayer money. Everything
Speaker 2: about California, especially with money and spending, is completely failing.
Speaker 1: All right, So let's envision the twenty twenty sixth election.
Speaker 1: You win, and all other indications would point to Democrats
Speaker 1: still in control of the state legislature. How do you
Speaker 1: deal with a democratically controlled legislature.
Speaker 2: That's a very tough question. And obviously it's a it's
Speaker 2: not a bully relationship, it's a working together relationship, but
Speaker 2: it certainly is what is best for California. Me winning
Speaker 2: this election is going to show them that your agenda
Speaker 2: is wrong and we are going to change it. And
Speaker 2: I think what causes me causes Democrats, the current Democrat Party.
Speaker 2: A great concern with me is I'm not intimidated by them.
Speaker 2: I'm not afraid of them, and I'm certainly not afraid
Speaker 2: to tell the truth to the public. And I will
Speaker 2: take how I act here and how I am very
Speaker 2: open and very transparent here to Sacramento. And it's going
Speaker 2: to be very easy when these people want to get
Speaker 2: elected again. If their constituents know that they are the
Speaker 2: roadblock to getting a better government for all Californians, those
Speaker 2: people are not going to be elected again. And I'm
Speaker 2: not going to be afraid to call them out. There's
Speaker 2: going to be a big light shined on the darkness
Speaker 2: that's in Sacramento. That that little you know, the tunnels
Speaker 2: that they work in, that they keep their messages and
Speaker 2: they keep the things that they are doing hidden, is
Speaker 2: going to be exposed.
Speaker 1: What do we do about high speed rails.
Speaker 2: There's actually nothing in California other than going from maybe
Speaker 2: Los Angeles or the Bay Area to Vegas that we
Speaker 2: need high speed rail for. Especially now. There's not enough.
Speaker 2: There's not enough want, there's not enough desire, and the
Speaker 2: only way it would be successful now is with major
Speaker 2: government subsidy, and that isn't going to happen. If the
Speaker 2: consumers drive that demand for a high speed rail system,
Speaker 2: we certainly would work to get that. But this is
Speaker 2: government driven, this is special interest driven, and Californias want
Speaker 2: no part of high speed rail right now.
Speaker 3: I completely agree.
Speaker 1: Even if we did many years ago we thought it
Speaker 1: was a pie in the sky Disneyland kind of a plan,
Speaker 1: it looks like it's completely dead now. But the business
Speaker 1: end of running a campaign means you got to get
Speaker 1: out and do a lot of handshaking and a lot
Speaker 1: of baby slapping or whatever politicians do to raise money.
Speaker 3: Are you built for that?
Speaker 1: Are you ready for that aspect of the campaign itself?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm probably one of the most competitive people in
Speaker 2: the world, and if I set my mind to doing something,
Speaker 2: I'm going to do it. The thing about this is
Speaker 2: I didn't give up a job to run for run
Speaker 2: for Governor. I added another job to my calendar, so
Speaker 2: I'm going to be full speed, still running to the
Speaker 2: Sheriff's department, and full speed making sure that we can
Speaker 2: make California better for everybody listening. For just little snippets,
Speaker 2: you can go to Chadbionco for Governor. It's actually Bianco
Speaker 2: Forgovernor dot com and you can get little information for me,
Speaker 2: but sign up to help. This is going to be
Speaker 2: a grassroots effort of spreading the word of making California
Speaker 2: the place possible to actually have the California dream again.
Speaker 3: All Right, Sheriff, thanks for taking time. We'll keep an
Speaker 3: eye on your campaign.
Speaker 2: Thank you, I appreciate it.
Speaker 3: You bet, Sheriff.
Speaker 1: Chad Bionco from Riverside County the first real, well known
Speaker 1: Republican to announce a bid for a governor to replace
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom when he's term limited out back or upcoming
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. So the big deal is out
Speaker 1: of Washington, d C. Is actually in Riodd Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 1: That's where we start swamp Watch.
Speaker 3: I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar,
Speaker 3: and when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing that lollipox
Speaker 3: here we got The real problem is that our leaders
Speaker 3: are done. The other side never quit, so I'm not
Speaker 3: going anywhere.
Speaker 2: So that is now Ukraine the swap.
Speaker 3: I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by
Speaker 3: what has been.
Speaker 4: You know, Americans have always been gone are They're not stupid.
Speaker 1: A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 3: Who have people voted for? You were not swap watch,
Speaker 3: They're all Caunona.
Speaker 1: So Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Russian Foreign
Speaker 1: Minister Sergei Lavrov. They're talking about Ukraine, among other things,
Speaker 1: and Marco Rubio said afterwards, this is just the first
Speaker 1: baby step in all of the steps that need to
Speaker 1: be taken.
Speaker 4: But we have to understand that it's been three and
Speaker 4: a half years since there's been any sort of regularized
Speaker 4: contact between the United States and Russia, and in some
Speaker 4: cases between any of the participants in this conflict in Russia.
Speaker 4: So the goal of today's meeting was to follow up
Speaker 4: on the phone call the President had a week ago
Speaker 4: and begin to establish those lines of communication. The work
Speaker 4: remains today is the first step of a long and
Speaker 4: difficult journey.
Speaker 1: Sitting right next to him, the new NSA director, Mike Walls.
Speaker 5: This needs to be a permanent endto the war and
Speaker 5: not a temporary end as we've seen in the past.
Speaker 5: We know just the practical reality is that there is
Speaker 5: going to be some discussion of territory, and there's going
Speaker 5: to be a discussion of security guarantees. Those are just
Speaker 5: fundamental basics that will undergird and underlie any type of discussion.
Speaker 1: So these got off to the right start in terms
Speaker 1: of there were no major hiccups. It appears in the room,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean that we are a whole lot
Speaker 1: closer to an end to the war in Ukraine.
Speaker 3: But this is progress.
Speaker 1: The issue now is going to be what kind of
Speaker 1: an influence presidents of Lenski Ukraine has on these talks.
Speaker 1: Has already said they will not agree to anything unless
Speaker 1: they are involved in the talks, and this first round
Speaker 1: they've had nothing to do with it. He was supposed
Speaker 1: to be Zelenski was supposed to be in Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 1: He's supposed to travel there today. He has canceled that
Speaker 1: trip and has said that he wants to see how
Speaker 1: this thing plays out. He doesn't want to give up territory,
Speaker 1: although he's probably going to have to. He wants to
Speaker 1: join NATO, although they're probably not going to allow him to.
Speaker 1: So this is the baby steps and the very beginning.
Speaker 1: The Department of Homeland Security is out with a new
Speaker 1: commercial telling criminal migrants to stay out of the United States.
Speaker 6: For too long week, politicians left our borders wide open.
Speaker 6: They flooded our communities with drugs, human trafficking, and violent criminals.
Speaker 3: They put American.
Speaker 6: Lives at risk. Well, those days are over. Under President Trump.
Speaker 6: America's borders are closed to lawbreakers. Follow the law and
Speaker 6: you'll find opportunity. Break it and you'll find consequences.
Speaker 1: These they said, they're going to be hyper targeted advertisements,
Speaker 1: including through social media, through text message, digital to reach
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants inside the United States and internationally. They said
Speaker 1: that there's two versions of it, specifically, one of them
Speaker 1: running here in the United States and the other one
Speaker 1: running international. The international version of the ad says, if
Speaker 1: you try and enter illegally, you will be caught and
Speaker 1: you will be removed. She emphasized, let me deliver a
Speaker 1: message from President Trump to the world. If you're thinking
Speaker 1: of entering America illegally. Don't even think about it. The
Speaker 1: other again, it seems like there's so much coming out
Speaker 1: of DC. The other issue that's going on right now
Speaker 1: in Washington is the ongoing discussion of what is the
Speaker 1: Department of Government efficiency? Is Elon Musk at the head
Speaker 1: of it? And what they're doing? Is it illegal? A
Speaker 1: couple things. Number One, Last night, a federal judge declined
Speaker 1: mind to block DOGE from getting access to Education Department
Speaker 1: data on student borrowers.
Speaker 3: The US District judge bless Me, the US District.
Speaker 1: Judge Randolph Moss, ruled that the University of California Student Association,
Speaker 1: which sued, had not shown sufficient irreparable harm to receive
Speaker 1: such immediate relief. It was not the judge that said this,
Speaker 1: but I did see an explanation which was, you can't
Speaker 1: assume legally that someone ate all the ice cream just
Speaker 1: because they opened the freezer door. Again, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: that's the perfect analogy, but it might be easier to
Speaker 1: understand the other case. We're expecting a ruling on this
Speaker 1: one sometime today. Judge Tanya chut Khan, the Obama appointed
Speaker 1: judge who was something of a rival to Trump, at
Speaker 1: least during the election interference case. She said she's overseeing
Speaker 1: this latest case against Doje. She says she does not
Speaker 1: believe that she can impose a general restraining order on
Speaker 1: Elon Musk or Doge over the firing of thousands of
Speaker 1: federal employees. And it's funny even the Associated Press says
Speaker 1: the alleged firing of thousands of federal employees, and that's
Speaker 1: an important thing. She said, the courts cannot act based
Speaker 1: on news reports, and I'm not seeing it so far
Speaker 1: proof that there were thousands of people who were actually fired.
Speaker 1: So she asked the Department of Justice lawyer if he
Speaker 1: could confirm the allegation that thousands of federal employees were fired,
Speaker 1: and he said, I can't independently confirm that, And she says,
Speaker 1: you haven't been able to learn if that's true. If
Speaker 1: you remember, this is the same judge who in twenty
Speaker 1: one rejected the claim of presidential immunity in the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty election interference case that was the one that was
Speaker 1: eventually overturned by the Supreme Court, and then didn't really
Speaker 1: do anything to gloss over those strained relations. She talked
Speaker 1: about the harshest sentencing record for all criminal defendants that
Speaker 1: appeared before her for their roles in the January sixth riots.
Speaker 1: She's been outspoken about her view of that day, and
Speaker 1: after Trump moved to pardon and grant clemency, she said
Speaker 1: that those actions can't whitewash the blood, the feces, and
Speaker 1: the terror that the mob left in its way. But
Speaker 1: it looks like she, at least the way that she
Speaker 1: commented on the case yesterday, it doesn't appear like she's
Speaker 1: going to put a general restraining order on Elon Musk
Speaker 1: or on the Department of Government Efficiency, at least not yet.
Speaker 1: She had said that she could in the future if
Speaker 1: the states that are suing there are fourteen states, including
Speaker 1: the Great State of California, if and unless, I should
Speaker 1: say unless and until the states can actually prove that
Speaker 1: the people were fired and that the states have standing
Speaker 1: for that general restorat order in the first place. Shannon's
Speaker 1: out today dealing with some family stuff. She'll be back.
Speaker 1: A couple stories that were following the Social Security Administration's
Speaker 1: acting leaders stepped down from her role over requests from
Speaker 1: the Department of Government Efficiency to get access to some
Speaker 1: Social Security recipient data.
Speaker 3: According to several reports.
Speaker 1: Acting Commissioner Michelle King departed from the agency over the
Speaker 1: weekend after more than thirty years of service. She was
Speaker 1: allegedly refusing to provide DOSEE staff members with sensitive information
Speaker 1: and decided that that was the red line for her.
Speaker 1: Hamas has agreed to release six living Israeli hostages and
Speaker 1: the remains of four others, including babies. Kafir Bibas was
Speaker 1: nine months old when he was abducted with his family
Speaker 1: by Hamas on October seventh, twenty twenty three. Was kidnapped
Speaker 1: alongside his mother, his father, and then four year old
Speaker 1: brother Ariel yard In. Bibas was released this month, but
Speaker 1: his wife and his sons were not. Hamas had said
Speaker 1: in late twenty twenty three that the mom and the
Speaker 1: kids were killed by an Israeli air strike, but again
Speaker 1: they had released agreed to release six Israeli hostages and
Speaker 1: the remains of four others this week. Donald Trump congratulated
Speaker 1: Scentcom forces on a precision airstrike over the weekend. They
Speaker 1: killed a senior Al Qaeda operative, the President said was
Speaker 1: plotting attacks to threaten America and our allies. This unidentified
Speaker 1: terrorist was a senior finance and Logistics official, apparently with
Speaker 1: the terror organization, which is an al Qaeda affiliate. He
Speaker 1: was killed while he was on a highway near the
Speaker 1: village of Batabo in northwest Syria. Trump celebrated the airstrike
Speaker 1: and the soldiers who executed the mission yesterday with a
Speaker 1: post of course on truth social and the temperatures that
Speaker 1: we've seen. We saw the weather at that Toronto Airport
Speaker 1: yesterday when that plane flipped over. The cold temperatures will continue.
Speaker 1: We'll see this latest ri found the polar vortex coming
Speaker 1: in Arctic air interacts with the storm system moving out
Speaker 1: of the Rockies. So they're talking about central US and
Speaker 1: Ohio Valley seeing a lot of very hazardous weather and
Speaker 1: at the same time still recovering from the flooding and
Speaker 1: the strong weather that we saw over the weekend. So
Speaker 1: freezing temperatures in parts of Kentucky in West Virginia after
Speaker 1: the deadly flooding was caused by storms on Saturday and Sunday. Well,
Speaker 1: we like to keep you healthy, keep you around for
Speaker 1: a little bit, and that's why we do every once
Speaker 1: in a while, Gary and Shannon show Wellness segment.
Speaker 3: Feel Terrible.
Speaker 2: He spends most of his day at the office.
Speaker 4: City Care Nation include a variety of activities and preferably
Speaker 4: some exercise late in the afternoon.
Speaker 3: I never exercised a day in my line. You've just
Speaker 3: got to sit here and wait to die.
Speaker 4: Every morning, I smoke a cigarette and for lunch, I
Speaker 4: eat a bacon sandwich, and I usually drink my dinner.
Speaker 3: It's time for Gary and Shannon's here. We got a
Speaker 3: guide for wellness and personal improvement for your health.
Speaker 7: All right.
Speaker 1: There's no requirement that you dance along with us when
Speaker 1: we do our dance breaks, but there is some benefit
Speaker 1: to it. We don't just do it to make ourselves
Speaker 1: look silly. Doing a dance in your kitchen for twenty
Speaker 1: minutes a day could help. Could be enough to help
Speaker 1: you hit your exercise target for the day. If you
Speaker 1: are one of those people who now has.
Speaker 8: A boy what's it called the whoop the bracelet thing
Speaker 8: or your whatever fitness tracker thing that you might be wearing,
Speaker 8: the bracelet, the ring, whatever it is, it's gonna tell
Speaker 8: you every once in a while, hey, get off your
Speaker 8: ass and do something, because you've been sitting around for
Speaker 8: too long and dancing may just be the answer.
Speaker 3: This is a new.
Speaker 1: Research project out of Northeastern University in Boston, forty eight
Speaker 1: people not a huge study, but forty eight people between
Speaker 1: the ages of eighteen and eighty three with a whole
Speaker 1: range of dance ability were asked to take part in
Speaker 1: five minute bouts of dancing five minutes at a time.
Speaker 1: That's all. That's one long song of dancing, and that's it.
Speaker 1: They found that they were going to measure the oxygen
Speaker 1: intake and the heart rate to determine the intensity of
Speaker 1: the exercise during the sessions, and it showed that everybody,
Speaker 1: whether they're eighteen or eighty three, everybody reached at least
Speaker 1: a moderate physical activity level, which is one of the
Speaker 1: absolute ground level levels of getting any sort of exercise activity.
Speaker 1: The National Health Service national Institutes of Health, depending on
Speaker 1: which country you're in, suggests that you complete about one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity exercise
Speaker 1: per week. And that's often when they say moderate to vigorous,
Speaker 1: they say going to the gym, going for a jog,
Speaker 1: taking a swim, something like that. But they said that
Speaker 1: dancing can be just as effective as all of those
Speaker 1: other things. The study, led by a doctor Aston McCullough said,
Speaker 1: the main idea was to understand whether the intensity that
Speaker 1: people would receive from dancing freely on their own would
Speaker 1: be enough to be a health enhancing physical activity. And
Speaker 1: the answer was unequivocally yes, that all of the adults
Speaker 1: were able to reach a health enhancing level of activity
Speaker 1: without being told what intensity to dance at.
Speaker 3: That's the key.
Speaker 1: No one's telling you to go out and jazzer size
Speaker 1: or tibo or whatever sort of dance intensity you think
Speaker 1: is out there, just dancing whatever that means to you.
Speaker 1: Dancing for a few minutes at a time. They put
Speaker 1: on their own music, they danced around. Even when they
Speaker 1: didn't have music, they were still reaching that level, that
Speaker 1: very important life level of moderate physical activity. And they said,
Speaker 1: the main idea is that dance is a really accessible
Speaker 1: form of physical activity that people can do even in
Speaker 1: their homes. Most people think of dance as something that
Speaker 1: is light and really easy, but really, if you just
Speaker 1: tell somebody have a dance, go dance somewhere, they're going
Speaker 1: to get that level of intensity that you would ask
Speaker 1: them if you were a personal trainer trying to get
Speaker 1: them to do even more. All right, we'll continue with
Speaker 1: our wellness segment in fact, is what is the smallest
Speaker 1: meal that you.
Speaker 3: Have all day?
Speaker 1: Are you a three square meal person? Do you do
Speaker 1: a lot of small meals? Do you snack throughout the day?
Speaker 1: And do your three square meals? Should dinner be the
Speaker 1: smallest of those three meals? Today is a historic day
Speaker 1: for LA Unified school kids going back to class today with.
Speaker 3: New major rule in place.
Speaker 1: The ban on cell phones in classrooms policy does allow
Speaker 1: for some exemptions. You got students who need phones for
Speaker 1: translation purposes, possibly learning disabilities, But for the most part,
Speaker 1: individual campuses have chosen whether or not to have phones
Speaker 1: locked up in special containers, pouches purchased by the district,
Speaker 1: or just telling kids to store them in their backpacks,
Speaker 1: which brings its own problems, of course, but that's going
Speaker 1: on today at LA Unified. New York Governor Kathy Hochel
Speaker 1: is looking at removing Mayor Eric Adams from office in
Speaker 1: New York City after four of his top deputies announced
Speaker 1: their resignations. This is all fallout from the Justice Department's
Speaker 1: push to end the corruption case against him. Kathy Hokel
Speaker 1: had said that she would convene a meeting of key
Speaker 1: leaders in Manhattan today for a conversation about a path forward.
Speaker 1: She said the departures of the first Deputy Mayor, Maria
Speaker 1: Torres Springer and some other top officials raised questions about
Speaker 1: the long term future of any Eric Adams administration. And
Speaker 1: then another story internationally that he's a little more serious
Speaker 1: than it appeared at first. Pope Francis is in the hospital.
Speaker 1: We know that he's being treated for something called polymicrobial
Speaker 1: infection of the respiratory tract, and they said he's going
Speaker 1: to stay in the hospital for quite a time and
Speaker 1: that he is going to be treated pretty significantly with
Speaker 1: antibiotics among other things. But Politico is reporting that Pope
Speaker 1: Francis is now privately telling some of his inner circle
Speaker 1: that he may not survive whatever this health scare is,
Speaker 1: and that he is rushing to tie up loose ends
Speaker 1: ahead of the battle.
Speaker 3: To succeed him.
Speaker 1: So we're going to do our trending stories at the
Speaker 1: top of the hour. At twelve thirty, we're going to
Speaker 1: get into a couple of true crime stories. One of
Speaker 1: them was a story about a guy whose high school
Speaker 1: age daughter was murdered and a few months later somebody
Speaker 1: had recreated her as an artificial intelligent chat bot of
Speaker 1: all things, say that story the next hour. So to
Speaker 1: continue our wellness segment, there was a question that came
Speaker 1: in that said, it's bad. I've heard that it's bad
Speaker 1: for dinner to be your biggest meal of the day.
Speaker 3: Is that true?
Speaker 1: So there's a bunch of research that talks about what
Speaker 1: people eat. Obviously, that's kind of what everybody was paying
Speaker 1: attention to, is what people eat. Lately there's been a
Speaker 1: lot more focused on when people eat. Think of intermittent
Speaker 1: fasting for one example. So there are no real long
Speaker 1: term studies or large studies even on the influence of
Speaker 1: meal timing and health, but there are some studies that
Speaker 1: do show consistent links of meal timing and health. For example,
Speaker 1: if you consume a greater percentage of your calories in
Speaker 1: the evening, you are at higher risk for obesity, type
Speaker 1: two diabetes, high blood pressure, higher levels of inflammation. I
Speaker 1: mean they use in this article the example of Europeans
Speaker 1: and their eating habits Spain. For example, in Spain, it's
Speaker 1: often lunch that is the biggest of the meals, and
Speaker 1: then at dinner time, especially because it's later, usually it
Speaker 1: consists of something like vegetable or fish soup, slice of
Speaker 1: bread with some cheese and a salad, something like a
Speaker 1: very light small meal for actual dinner. The body's internal
Speaker 1: clock actually regulates how your cells function, and they say
Speaker 1: that that's partly to blame. One of the directors of
Speaker 1: medical chronobiology at William sorry Brigham and Women's Hospital in
Speaker 1: Boston is a doctor named Frank Sheer. In the morning,
Speaker 1: your body is more primed to handle a bigger meal.
Speaker 1: In the morning, your body's ready to absorb nutrients to
Speaker 1: distribute them to your cells to fuel your day's activities.
Speaker 1: But as the day wears on, all of those organs
Speaker 1: that help you metabolize the nutrients, think of your liver,
Speaker 1: you're pancreas the right side stuff that starts to respond
Speaker 1: more sluggishly. And they said they see the effects more
Speaker 1: clearly when it comes to blood sugar levels. And this
Speaker 1: was an interesting aspect I'd never heard before. But if
Speaker 1: you consume two identical meals, one in the morning and
Speaker 1: one in the evening, same ingredients, same quantity everything you
Speaker 1: eat one in the morning, one in the evening, your
Speaker 1: blood sugar spike will be larger and stay elevated. Longer
Speaker 1: after the evening meal, and when your levels of melatonin,
Speaker 1: of course, that's what tells your body's time for sleepy time.
Speaker 1: When your levels of melatonin rise an hour or two
Speaker 1: before bedtime, that suppresses the insulin secretion from the pancreas.
Speaker 1: So that makes it harder for your body to regulate
Speaker 1: your blood sugar. And if your blood sugar is frequently
Speaker 1: elevated from the large evening meals, like I said, the
Speaker 1: risk of developing high blood pressure, the chronic inflammation, the obesity,
Speaker 1: the type two diabetes, And they also said that consuming
Speaker 1: large meals at night could increase least the activity of
Speaker 1: certain metabolic pathways that simply lead to fat storage while
Speaker 1: you're sleeping. You're getting fatter while you're sleeping. In fact,
Speaker 1: there was a twenty twenty two review of nine different
Speaker 1: weight loss trials and researchers found that those who consumed
Speaker 1: the most calories at breakfast or lunch actually lost more
Speaker 1: weight than those who consumed the most calories at dinner.
Speaker 1: They also had better insulin, better glucose, better LDL readings.
Speaker 1: Another study found the people who were less hungry sorry
Speaker 1: that people were less hungry throughout the day when their
Speaker 1: largest meal was breakfast rather than when it was dinner.
Speaker 1: That doesn't have to be the doesn't have to be
Speaker 1: the smaller dinner, does not have to be the smallest
Speaker 1: meal of the day, but it should not be the largest.
Speaker 1: And they said it's best to avoid eating late into
Speaker 1: the evening. So one of the doctors has suggested looking
Speaker 1: at smaller ways to can sue more calories earlier in
Speaker 1: the day. Start with a good breakfast, you know, the simple,
Speaker 1: the protein rich, the foods like yogurt or eggs or beans,
Speaker 1: something that makes you feel full. Sometimes that doctor has
Speaker 1: been told that they're not that hungry in the morning,
Speaker 1: and that may be because they had a large dinner
Speaker 1: the night before. Make time for a big, good, substantial lunch,
Speaker 1: and then when dinner comes around, you're just less hungry,
Speaker 1: You're less likely to consume that bigger meal, and you
Speaker 1: may be less enticed by the late night snacks.
Speaker 3: So here's the thing.
Speaker 1: They're suggesting that eating later and eating a especially eating
Speaker 1: a big meal later, goes against what your body is
Speaker 1: ready for. Your body's ready to handle all that stuff
Speaker 1: earlier in the day. It's not quite as ready to
Speaker 1: handle it and runs less efficiently later at night. If
Speaker 1: you do find yourself super hungry at dinner time, stay
Speaker 1: away from the processed food, stay away from the added sugars,
Speaker 1: the stodium. Instead, do the oh calorie snacks without spiking
Speaker 1: your blood sugar. Things like legumes, maybe some grilled fish,
Speaker 1: the old chicken breast, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, all.
Speaker 3: Of that stuff. I mean, not all of that stuff,
Speaker 3: because Debora would eat all of that stuff, only some.
Speaker 3: You'd eat some of that. I'd eat the legomes. Are
Speaker 3: you a late eater?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 5: I eat.
Speaker 3: I eat it about a quarter to five.
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you get the senior special for that? I do? Wow?
Speaker 7: I do.
Speaker 9: On the weekends, when we go out with friends, we
Speaker 9: eat at six thirty six whatever. But when it's just
Speaker 9: my husband and I, we like to eat early five
Speaker 9: or five thirty.
Speaker 1: My wife has said many times, if you want to
Speaker 1: eat healthy, unfortunately, unless everybody in your group of friends
Speaker 1: is eating the same way, you kind of have to
Speaker 1: eat weird.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: And that's that's just the nature. You're gonna have to
Speaker 3: eat weird.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to turn down the meal or the
Speaker 1: second glass of wine or the whatever. Kind of you
Speaker 1: know crazy ice cream dessert that there is.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 9: I turn down lots of stuff, but you're still normal.
Speaker 9: I am normal ish.
Speaker 3: Would you like your Jeopardy question? Yes, producer Keana, I
Speaker 3: would love my jeopardy question.
