00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919
<v Speaker 1>This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI

2
00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:05.839
<v Speaker 1>AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand

3
00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:07.280
<v Speaker 1>on the iHeartRadio app.

4
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:12.919
<v Speaker 2>President Trump has announced that he is scheduled to speak

5
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:17.079
<v Speaker 2>with Russian President Vladimir Putin tomorrow as we have these

6
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:20.920
<v Speaker 2>efforts to try to endless war and Ukraine. Trump talked

7
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:23.280
<v Speaker 2>about it when he was flying from Florida to DC

8
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:26.679
<v Speaker 2>last night on Air Force One. The Kremlin has confirmed

9
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:30.519
<v Speaker 2>that they will be planning that phone call. Trump said

10
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:34.000
<v Speaker 2>that land and power plants are part of the conversation

11
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:36.399
<v Speaker 2>around ending the war in Ukraine, whatever sort of a

12
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:39.320
<v Speaker 2>deal is worked out between the two countries.

13
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>There was an interesting article in the Wall Street Journal,

14
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:47.799
<v Speaker 1>and it's not a new concept. It's know what our

15
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:51.159
<v Speaker 1>history is, so we don't repeat it or learn from

16
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:54.039
<v Speaker 1>our mistakes that we've learned from in the past. Things

17
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>of that nature. Anyway, was an opinion piece. Peggy Union,

18
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I believe, was the author. I believe, and it's about

19
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:09.319
<v Speaker 1>how Upton Sinclair, whose house, by the way is in Monrovia.

20
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:12.480
<v Speaker 1>If you didn't know, I did not on myrtle anyway

21
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>about Upton Sinclair's I believe it is. I could be

22
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>wrong about that, but I think I think I'm right

23
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.879
<v Speaker 1>about that anyway. Update in Sinclair's book, The Jungle, Now,

24
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:28.079
<v Speaker 1>The Jungle is about the meat packing industry in Chicago

25
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:32.040
<v Speaker 1>back at the turn of the century nineteen o six,

26
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.159
<v Speaker 1>I believe, is when it was published, and it's all

27
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:39.359
<v Speaker 1>about going undercover and digging into the meat packing industry

28
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:42.719
<v Speaker 1>and the early advent of the FDA and why we

29
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>need a government agency, and why we need government agencies,

30
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:48.719
<v Speaker 1>and how yes there's a need for them, but they

31
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.519
<v Speaker 1>just got way out of control, and that the answer

32
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:54.959
<v Speaker 1>is somewhere probably in the middle. Anyway. So I thought

33
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>that was fascinating when it comes to that that book

34
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:01.959
<v Speaker 1>and that industry in particular as it relates to what's

35
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:04.439
<v Speaker 1>going on with DOGE. But before we get there, you.

36
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:07.959
<v Speaker 2>Were saying something about why my parties are not good.

37
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:12.039
<v Speaker 1>That's not true, I said. The reason, the topic of the

38
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:13.240
<v Speaker 1>reasons I don't want to go to.

39
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:16.759
<v Speaker 2>Parties, the topic is that parties seem to be dying out,

40
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:18.319
<v Speaker 2>not doing parties like we used to.

41
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.319
<v Speaker 1>I loved your super Bowl party. I love your Super

42
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.319
<v Speaker 1>Bowl parties, and I love them because we get together

43
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:26.520
<v Speaker 1>with people that we see just at work doing work stuff.

44
00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:28.319
<v Speaker 1>But we also see people we used to work with

45
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:30.479
<v Speaker 1>or that we see from time to time, and you

46
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:32.599
<v Speaker 1>just say, hang out and just have some time not

47
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:35.759
<v Speaker 1>to talk about work stuff or whatever, talk s or

48
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:39.560
<v Speaker 1>what have you. And I do enjoy them. Now, what

49
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't enjoys people on their phones. And I noticed

50
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.599
<v Speaker 1>that and I won't name names, but it was driving

51
00:02:46.680 --> 00:02:51.560
<v Speaker 1>me insane because you're there and you're with a group

52
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:53.680
<v Speaker 1>of it's not like there's a shortage of I mean,

53
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:55.840
<v Speaker 1>even if you're with five people, it's root if somebody's

54
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.879
<v Speaker 1>just on their phone, you know, And I get it,

55
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.000
<v Speaker 1>you're watching the super and you want to see what's trending,

56
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:04.039
<v Speaker 1>and like that's one thing, but like if you're just

57
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.319
<v Speaker 1>like on your phone, I don't know, it's just rude

58
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:08.439
<v Speaker 1>to me. It's rude when I see children do it.

59
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:10.879
<v Speaker 1>It's almost more annoying when I see adults do it

60
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:11.400
<v Speaker 1>all the time.

61
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, and it's very funny that you mentioned that we

62
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:18.199
<v Speaker 2>had friends over on Friday night and they had a babysitter.

63
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:23.960
<v Speaker 2>So we've always we've never begrudged anybody checking in with

64
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:24.719
<v Speaker 2>the babysitter.

65
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.800
<v Speaker 3>Ever, Like we totally get it. We totally understand.

66
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:31.520
<v Speaker 2>But she at one point realized that her phone was

67
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:34.400
<v Speaker 2>on the table while we were eating dinner and apologize,

68
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm so sorry. I don't usually do that, I don't

69
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.039
<v Speaker 2>forget and she turns around to put her phone off

70
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:39.719
<v Speaker 2>of the table.

71
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.479
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, which I thought was so refreshing. Yeah, it was

72
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:45.360
<v Speaker 3>such a nice like, oh, yeah, I didn't notice that

73
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:46.199
<v Speaker 3>her phone was on the table.

74
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:47.639
<v Speaker 2>It's not like I looked at it and thought, well,

75
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.000
<v Speaker 2>she can't even pay attention while we're eating dinner, how rude.

76
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.960
<v Speaker 3>But it was just an acknowledgment of it. It was

77
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:54.560
<v Speaker 3>a nice thing.

78
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:58.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I've ever seen anybody apologize and then remove.

79
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.000
<v Speaker 1>The phone, and I think we're gonna swing the other way.

80
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:02.879
<v Speaker 1>I think, like when you think about when did it

81
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.840
<v Speaker 1>become acceptable, you just think ten years ago acceptable for

82
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:08.319
<v Speaker 1>you're in a conversation with someone, for them to like

83
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.879
<v Speaker 1>pick up the phone or whatever, you're walking down the hall, whatever,

84
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.439
<v Speaker 1>it would have been weird. And now it's so normalized.

85
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.439
<v Speaker 1>And I think now maybe we might be swinging the

86
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:20.040
<v Speaker 1>other way to the point of like that that's rude.

87
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:22.560
<v Speaker 2>I did say there were two things that were at play.

88
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:24.560
<v Speaker 2>One of them is that we now A lot of

89
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.360
<v Speaker 2>times will jump to the option of well, I could

90
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:29.959
<v Speaker 2>just buy it online and have it delivered. I don't

91
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.040
<v Speaker 2>have to go out into the real world. The other

92
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.680
<v Speaker 2>thing is, I'm guilty of this as well, the relief

93
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.959
<v Speaker 2>that you feel when something gets canceled, The relief that

94
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.759
<v Speaker 2>you feel when you don't have to go to the thing,

95
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:45.920
<v Speaker 2>the event, even the party or a plan with you know, friends.

96
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.040
<v Speaker 1>It could be a hair appointment, like, it could be

97
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.199
<v Speaker 1>anything where you're just like, oh, I can't go, Like

98
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:51.800
<v Speaker 1>when I want to go donate blood and they're like,

99
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:56.439
<v Speaker 1>you can't. Your blood cells suck. I was like, why

100
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.079
<v Speaker 1>cause I could go home now instead of in twenty minutes,

101
00:04:59.120 --> 00:04:59.240
<v Speaker 1>you know.

102
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:00.360
<v Speaker 3>And it's just very odd.

103
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.959
<v Speaker 1>It's a very odd reflex to be excited when things

104
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:03.399
<v Speaker 1>fall through.

105
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:04.839
<v Speaker 3>You don't get your cookie that way.

106
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:05.879
<v Speaker 4>Hey, Gary and Shannon.

107
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:08.040
<v Speaker 5>I hate to be a one trick pony, but I

108
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.480
<v Speaker 5>think the poultry season is the reason that Shannon never

109
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:13.120
<v Speaker 5>has a party at her house.

110
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:13.839
<v Speaker 2>Take care of guys.

111
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:19.279
<v Speaker 1>It's probably the last one, is it, maybe? But listen,

112
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:23.680
<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed your performance, Let's be clear about that.

113
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:26.279
<v Speaker 3>Because you knew it was going to make material that

114
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:27.800
<v Speaker 3>would last for years.

115
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:28.920
<v Speaker 6>I did not.

116
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:31.160
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know if like that's what you do all

117
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.160
<v Speaker 1>the time, Like it's become more special as the years

118
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.279
<v Speaker 1>have gone by, because I realized how special it was

119
00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:39.160
<v Speaker 1>in the moment I was relatively new in the relationship,

120
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>where like I didn't know if that was Gary on

121
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:43.720
<v Speaker 1>a Thursday, Like, I don't know if you just get

122
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:47.160
<v Speaker 1>up and start gyrating to the seasonings.

123
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:49.959
<v Speaker 3>I don't even think. We can't find poultry seasoning in

124
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:50.399
<v Speaker 3>my house.

125
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:53.879
<v Speaker 1>And there's probably my wife took it away because she

126
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:57.639
<v Speaker 1>was jealous. I don't think that's what she was feeling.

127
00:05:58.720 --> 00:05:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't think jealousy was.

128
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.079
<v Speaker 3>She was hell us of the moves I was putting

129
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:02.920
<v Speaker 3>on that little.

130
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.120
<v Speaker 1>I think regret may have been up further up on

131
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:05.480
<v Speaker 1>the low.

132
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:09.839
<v Speaker 2>Probably that's a much more likely all Right, we'll get

133
00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:11.079
<v Speaker 2>into swamp watch when we come back.

134
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.839
<v Speaker 7>You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI

135
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:18.079
<v Speaker 7>AM six forty.

136
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Convention of threes MO Motivational Monday is coming up late

137
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.240
<v Speaker 1>in the twelve o'clock hour, and we're going to spin

138
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:34.360
<v Speaker 1>the wheel and we had some.

139
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:39.639
<v Speaker 2>Great submissions last week for motivational speeches that you've seen

140
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:43.360
<v Speaker 2>or heard in radio radio. I guess the radio if

141
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:46.519
<v Speaker 2>you wanted to TV and movies and some of them

142
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:49.920
<v Speaker 2>in real life. So we'll catch a little bit of

143
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:51.879
<v Speaker 2>motivation as you'd get into the rest of your Monday.

144
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:54.240
<v Speaker 3>Before we end the shows.

145
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:56.920
<v Speaker 1>It is time for swamp Watch. I'm a politician, which

146
00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:58.360
<v Speaker 1>means I'm a cheat and a liar.

147
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.560
<v Speaker 3>And when I'm not kissing baby, I'm stealing that lollipop.

148
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.759
<v Speaker 6>Here we got the real problem is that our leaders

149
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:05.279
<v Speaker 6>are done.

150
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:06.600
<v Speaker 1>The other side never quits.

151
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:10.519
<v Speaker 3>So what I'm not going anywhere?

152
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.759
<v Speaker 1>So that now you train the swap, I can imagine

153
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:15.879
<v Speaker 1>what can be and be unburdened by what has been.

154
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:18.879
<v Speaker 3>You know, Americans have always been gone at present.

155
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:20.120
<v Speaker 6>They're not stupid.

156
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.120
<v Speaker 2>A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.

157
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:26.240
<v Speaker 3>Whether people voted for you were not. Swamp watch, they're

158
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:26.839
<v Speaker 3>all counter on.

159
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is just the strictly politically speaking. In terms

160
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:34.920
<v Speaker 2>of what's going on in Washington, d C. There will

161
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:38.160
<v Speaker 2>be a big conversation tomorrow. President Trump is expected to

162
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:44.600
<v Speaker 2>speak with President Putin about a potential peace plan in Ukraine. Also,

163
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:50.000
<v Speaker 2>there is some some ongoing discussion about the legality of

164
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:54.360
<v Speaker 2>whether or not. The planes full of criminal migrants that

165
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.639
<v Speaker 2>were headed to El Salvador and Honduras over the weekend,

166
00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.000
<v Speaker 2>we're supposed to have been turned around because of judge

167
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.639
<v Speaker 2>had explicitly said it in court, but it wasn't in

168
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:06.439
<v Speaker 2>part of the written order. And then President Trump explicitly

169
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:10.879
<v Speaker 2>linked the actions of the Hoothi rebels to Iran, their

170
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:13.920
<v Speaker 2>main benefactor, and is warning Iran that it would suffer

171
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.360
<v Speaker 2>the consequences if there are any other attacks by Hooti

172
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:21.839
<v Speaker 2>rebels there in Yemen. Of course, we dropped several bombs

173
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:25.079
<v Speaker 2>on Yemen over the weekend. They said they killed at

174
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:29.800
<v Speaker 2>least fifty people. Their classic book, by the.

175
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Way, classic book the Jungle Upton Sinclair. This was published

176
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:40.480
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen o six, an expose of the practices of

177
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the meat packing industry in Chicago. Now Upton Sinclair was

178
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:48.840
<v Speaker 1>described as a socialist and a crying could just ask

179
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:52.879
<v Speaker 1>Teddy Roosevelt. He went under cover, Upton Sinclair did for

180
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.639
<v Speaker 1>seven weeks to investigate the Union stockyards, and he talked

181
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:02.960
<v Speaker 1>about this city of slums and street urchins and fights

182
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:07.600
<v Speaker 1>between immigrants, the polls, the Lithuanians, the Slovaks that they

183
00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:11.600
<v Speaker 1>were that they were working hard in these stockyards under

184
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:15.279
<v Speaker 1>brutal conditions that they would get diseases, their hands were

185
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:16.559
<v Speaker 1>ruined by acid.

186
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:18.120
<v Speaker 5>There.

187
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:21.799
<v Speaker 1>It was just it was awful. There were no worker protections.

188
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Unions were just shakedown operations for the political machine. That

189
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:31.440
<v Speaker 1>hasn't changed anyway. And so he he meant to indict

190
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:34.720
<v Speaker 1>capitalism's abuse of innocent men and women who had come

191
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:39.120
<v Speaker 1>to America with dreams in their hearts. And that's what

192
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:43.919
<v Speaker 1>a socialist in a crank would do, right. But Teddy Roosevelt,

193
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:49.399
<v Speaker 1>in his second term as president, initially refusing this book,

194
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:54.919
<v Speaker 1>decided that there were some basis of truth in the allegations,

195
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:59.200
<v Speaker 1>so he sent investigators to Chicago. There was a subsequent

196
00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:02.879
<v Speaker 1>government invest mistigation and report, and that is when Congress

197
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:06.600
<v Speaker 1>enacted landmark Resolution, the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure

198
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:09.919
<v Speaker 1>Food and Drug Act, which later on expanded to the

199
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:14.759
<v Speaker 1>Bureau of Chemistry, which became the FDA. But as Peggy

200
00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:17.639
<v Speaker 1>Noonan writes in The Wall Street Journal, they got it right.

201
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:22.240
<v Speaker 1>It's did start with a zelot who went crazy for

202
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.799
<v Speaker 1>preserving the American dream. But it also brought up the

203
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:28.840
<v Speaker 1>fact that there needs to be some sort of government

204
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:33.080
<v Speaker 1>oversight to make sure that these people aren't taken advantage of,

205
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:36.360
<v Speaker 1>or that things are done in a way that is

206
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:40.399
<v Speaker 1>won't kill us, so to speak.

207
00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Right, the ideas of Doge, specifically the coming since that's

208
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:52.840
<v Speaker 2>what we're talking about, that's the overriding theme that's kind

209
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.799
<v Speaker 2>of permeated through all of the stories coming out of

210
00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:59.279
<v Speaker 2>DC in the last seven eight weeks. There has to

211
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:03.240
<v Speaker 2>be a certain amount of understanding that yes, it's painful,

212
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Yes it looks bad. Yes, maybe the knife is too

213
00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:09.559
<v Speaker 2>sharp or the hammer is too big, but there's nobody

214
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:12.840
<v Speaker 2>who you speak to who doesn't believe that the federal

215
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:14.960
<v Speaker 2>government is too large.

216
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:19.159
<v Speaker 1>It's gone crazy, but it's it's still necessary. To her point,

217
00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:23.159
<v Speaker 1>it's still necessary. I mean, when you think about conservatives,

218
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:27.919
<v Speaker 1>it's we have for a long time rallied against governmental costs.

219
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:29.759
<v Speaker 1>You know, you pay four hundred fifty dollars for a

220
00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:33.200
<v Speaker 1>chair that costs seventeen dollars. That kind of thing, overreach, waste,

221
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:36.440
<v Speaker 1>and yes, it exists, and it has run wild in

222
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:40.320
<v Speaker 1>many federal agencies, as she writes, but she says it's

223
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:42.720
<v Speaker 1>good to remember now that government does employ many people

224
00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:45.600
<v Speaker 1>who help us that we could not do without the example,

225
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:50.200
<v Speaker 1>that everyone always uses the air traffic controllers. Obviously, food

226
00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:55.320
<v Speaker 1>inspection another one. I'm coding social security checks. Need those people,

227
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:58.840
<v Speaker 1>and there are many people who do these jobs. Well,

228
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:02.440
<v Speaker 1>but she said, is that now that the sky, the

229
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:05.320
<v Speaker 1>size and the scope of government continues to grow, it

230
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.639
<v Speaker 1>does require sharp oversight. But make no mistake about it.

231
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:13.000
<v Speaker 1>You should be able to say in a clear, sharp

232
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:17.279
<v Speaker 1>sentence what you do and that does help America? Do

233
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:20.200
<v Speaker 1>you help protect it from poisoning? Do you enhance his

234
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.159
<v Speaker 1>reputation in the world? Do you make sure Bob and

235
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Maine gets his social Security check? If you can't produce

236
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:29.679
<v Speaker 1>that clear, sharp sentence of what you do, then yeah,

237
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe you are a part of the bloat. Back to

238
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:33.840
<v Speaker 1>the email of what is it you say you do

239
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:36.559
<v Speaker 1>here that everyone rallied against. If you can't say what

240
00:12:36.600 --> 00:12:38.320
<v Speaker 1>you do here, then there's probably a problem.

241
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:38.720
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

242
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, and she at least gives credence to both sides

243
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:45.519
<v Speaker 2>and says, listen that in a time of cutting, that's

244
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:49.039
<v Speaker 2>where we are. Not everything is bad. Right wing propaganda,

245
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:52.240
<v Speaker 2>just like left wing propaganda, can get carried away. That

246
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:57.200
<v Speaker 2>the libertarian impulse is beautiful, but it's dreamy. For example,

247
00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:59.519
<v Speaker 2>she says a libertarian would have told Upton Sinclair that

248
00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:03.320
<v Speaker 2>the mark it's correct, the market corrects all that a

249
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:06.039
<v Speaker 2>company that sells bad beef won't survive long.

250
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:07.159
<v Speaker 3>That's true.

251
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.960
<v Speaker 2>But obviously, up until that point, this company that's selling

252
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:12.559
<v Speaker 2>bad beef is going to end up killing people, which

253
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:14.480
<v Speaker 2>is why the government does step in when it is

254
00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:15.600
<v Speaker 2>absolutely necessary.

255
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:17.600
<v Speaker 3>So that's that's fun.

256
00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Did you ever see if Upton Sinclair's home is actually

257
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:21.320
<v Speaker 2>in Oh, let me.

258
00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Look that up. I'm prety sure I know exactly which

259
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:27.639
<v Speaker 1>one it is. Standby. It could be someone completely different,

260
00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:29.200
<v Speaker 1>and I could just be conflating this.

261
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:34.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm pretty dope it's there. It is? Was it on myrtle?

262
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

263
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:36.120
<v Speaker 3>Good.

264
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:39.799
<v Speaker 1>It's built in nineteen twenty three. The home of American

265
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.960
<v Speaker 1>novelist Upton Sinclair between nineteen forty two and nineteen sixty six.

266
00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:46.440
<v Speaker 1>That's where he wrote many of his later works. It

267
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.960
<v Speaker 1>is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and

268
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:54.840
<v Speaker 1>has been declared a National Landmark. It is a private residence.

269
00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:59.240
<v Speaker 1>It was designed by California architect Frederick H. Wallace.

270
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:01.039
<v Speaker 3>It's a Wallace home.

271
00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.799
<v Speaker 1>Sinclair bought it in forty two. He wanted a quieter

272
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:05.679
<v Speaker 1>location than Pasadena.

273
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know how bustling Pasadena was in forty two.

274
00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:14.360
<v Speaker 1>It sustained damage during the nineteen ninety one Sierra Madre

275
00:14:14.519 --> 00:14:15.799
<v Speaker 1>earthquake Debra.

276
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:19.399
<v Speaker 3>In eighteen ninety one, it.

277
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Was nearly torn down by its owner at the time. However,

278
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.240
<v Speaker 1>the State Historic Preservation Office said, hell no, this thing

279
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:31.799
<v Speaker 1>stands bare.

280
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:32.279
<v Speaker 3>He goes.

281
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:35.679
<v Speaker 1>The grounds also include a concrete vault where he kept

282
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:40.320
<v Speaker 1>all of his papers. Fascinating it turned out into a wine.

283
00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:40.799
<v Speaker 3>Cellar or something.

284
00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:41.919
<v Speaker 1>It probably is.

285
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all right, up next, our friend Jojo from upstairs,

286
00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:47.639
<v Speaker 2>we're going to be talking about the iHeartRadio musical war.

287
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:53.720
<v Speaker 7>You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI

288
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:54.879
<v Speaker 7>AM six forty.

289
00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:03.440
<v Speaker 1>I've everywhere else. I mean, you're so excited. I love it.

290
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:06.159
<v Speaker 1>I love it. We've got a little fifth floor excitement

291
00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:08.600
<v Speaker 1>down here. Hey, coming up in the next hour, there

292
00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:12.480
<v Speaker 1>is some new questions about Gene Hackman's death and the

293
00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:17.399
<v Speaker 1>timing and how it may impact the estate inheritance. I'm

294
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:19.360
<v Speaker 1>not in the business of telling you you are no

295
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:22.159
<v Speaker 1>stra Damis, but you hit on this last week with

296
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:25.720
<v Speaker 1>the timing of Gene Hackman's death versus his wife. His

297
00:15:25.759 --> 00:15:28.600
<v Speaker 1>wife's death and what that means for the inheritance and

298
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:31.720
<v Speaker 1>how that moves forward. It very much in play, so

299
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:33.360
<v Speaker 1>we'll get into that come up in the next hour.

300
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:35.159
<v Speaker 3>Jojo on the radio, it's joined.

301
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:37.799
<v Speaker 6>M.

302
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:40.960
<v Speaker 3>Thanks for coming in. Absolutely so.

303
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:43.279
<v Speaker 2>It's always nice when people find their way down to

304
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:45.519
<v Speaker 2>the deserted floor down here.

305
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I love I love the fifth floor energy.

306
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:49.080
<v Speaker 3>And not the bore people.

307
00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:51.399
<v Speaker 4>But there used to be like there's the elevator, and

308
00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:53.159
<v Speaker 4>there used to be you could go either left or

309
00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:54.039
<v Speaker 4>right from the elevator.

310
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:55.600
<v Speaker 3>Now you have to go right and circle all the

311
00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:56.200
<v Speaker 3>way around.

312
00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:58.200
<v Speaker 2>You have if you didn't know this, but you could

313
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:01.639
<v Speaker 2>you completed your fitnessracle for the day just by walking down.

314
00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:04.840
<v Speaker 1>It's a five.

315
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:06.919
<v Speaker 4>K heck, it's like a hidden corner. But yeah, I

316
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:09.440
<v Speaker 4>found you guys. By the way, what is you tease

317
00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:13.080
<v Speaker 4>that the gene? What's the since the weird kind of circumstances.

318
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:15.919
<v Speaker 1>Have to listen to the show, Joe Joe.

319
00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:20.159
<v Speaker 2>When you plan your trust and will, there's a lot

320
00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:24.919
<v Speaker 2>about predeceasing, who's who dies first, if you die at

321
00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:27.320
<v Speaker 2>the same time, if one dies before the other one does,

322
00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:29.240
<v Speaker 2>who gets what and all of that stuff.

323
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:32.159
<v Speaker 4>It was b It was not to take the shine

324
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:34.080
<v Speaker 4>off of this iHeart Radio Music Awards things which we're

325
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:35.120
<v Speaker 4>talking about tonight.

326
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Again, not to make it about us, but we weren't

327
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:39.200
<v Speaker 2>offered tickets this year for the first time in a while,

328
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:39.960
<v Speaker 2>which is weird.

329
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:41.679
<v Speaker 3>I think we could probably still crash it if we

330
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:44.360
<v Speaker 3>wanted to do. But tonight the iHeart Radio Music Awards.

331
00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:46.240
<v Speaker 4>Yes, what should I just run through the whole bit

338
00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:04.440
<v Speaker 4>guess the major things LLO cool Jay hosting, Which have

339
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:04.759
<v Speaker 4>you guys?

340
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:07.200
<v Speaker 3>Met Ello? No? No, First of all, when you see him,

341
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:10.680
<v Speaker 3>he's just like Muscle. He had an age the day

342
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:13.759
<v Speaker 3>and he's just the coolest dude. Forty years that guy

343
00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:15.519
<v Speaker 3>has not aged a day day.

344
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.240
<v Speaker 1>My favorite LLLL cool Jay story is something I saw

345
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:22.480
<v Speaker 1>on Rodney's Instagram where Magic Johnson does his yacht trip

346
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:25.559
<v Speaker 1>every year with friends and Rodney, Pete down the hall

347
00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:28.720
<v Speaker 1>and Ell were there with their wives and everything, and

348
00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:33.359
<v Speaker 1>they're on the yacht somewhere in the mediterraning Mediterranean, singing

349
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:37.519
<v Speaker 1>around the way girl. Of course, I was like, what,

350
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:38.759
<v Speaker 1>what's the.

351
00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:39.799
<v Speaker 3>Cool I've had?

352
00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:41.559
<v Speaker 4>I had him in the studio maybe like I don't know,

353
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:43.640
<v Speaker 4>three or four months ago, and I don't know, just

354
00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:46.240
<v Speaker 4>when he walks in he starts for whatever reason, during

355
00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:48.079
<v Speaker 4>one of our segments, he starts rapping.

356
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:50.880
<v Speaker 3>I think it was something.

357
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:55.000
<v Speaker 4>Don't call it comeback, and I'm just I'm sitting there, yeah,

358
00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:56.319
<v Speaker 4>looking at him, like, what the heck?

359
00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:57.359
<v Speaker 3>What is my life right now?

360
00:17:58.799 --> 00:17:59.319
<v Speaker 1>I would die?

361
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:01.319
<v Speaker 3>Call it back of it was just weird.

381
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:54.720
<v Speaker 2>The logistics alone is something we sat pretty close a

382
00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:57.559
<v Speaker 2>couple of years ago. We sat down and uh that

383
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:00.200
<v Speaker 2>was the fun part because we're just I mean, good

384
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.000
<v Speaker 2>thing and didn't have popcorn at the Dolbey Theater because

385
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:04.759
<v Speaker 2>we were just cramming at watching these celebrities that walk

386
00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:06.960
<v Speaker 2>back and forth, and it's.

387
00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:08.839

388
00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:11.160

00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:18.759
<v Speaker 2>that he's tiny but he's nowhere near as big as

392
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:20.960
<v Speaker 2>you think he is, right, And that was one of

393
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:22.799
<v Speaker 2>those you know you get to see people up close

394
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:26.160
<v Speaker 2>like that. It was when when Taylor Swift walked in.

395
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:29.160
<v Speaker 2>She comes in like three quarters of the way through

<v Speaker 2>five people around.

401
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:45.599

<v Speaker 1>in other sections that got up and left after she

403
00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:51.240

409
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:03.799
<v Speaker 4>you see it's like the Secret Service just did he did.

435
00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:54.039
<v Speaker 1>I just can't because of her performance, the whole pony thing,

436
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:54.799
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean.

437
00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:57.240
<v Speaker 4>Kids, she's been she's been doing well, man, so I

438
00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:59.119
<v Speaker 4>think she's got a good shot. I think I think

439
00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:00.640
<v Speaker 4>Sabrina got a good trend.

440
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:02.279
<v Speaker 1>But she's kind of had her flowers.

441
00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:04.319
<v Speaker 2>Can I say this out of all of those, I

442
00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:06.000
<v Speaker 2>would want to meet Sabrina Carpenter, of.

443
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:10.759
<v Speaker 1>Course you would. Don't be don't be weird creege girls,

444
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:14.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, because she seems the most down to earth

445
00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:16.279
<v Speaker 1>and willing to make fun of herself.

446
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.640
<v Speaker 4>And she she does, and she's been like she you know,

447
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:20.319
<v Speaker 4>I thought it was strange when she got the Grammy

448
00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:22.519
<v Speaker 4>Award for and people talking about this, when she got

449
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:25.359
<v Speaker 4>the Grammy nomination for Best New Artists, because she's.

450
00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:27.960
<v Speaker 3>Been coming up here only on her fifth, sixth album.

451
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:30.359
<v Speaker 4>I think of this, But I say that because she's

452
00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:32.920
<v Speaker 4>been working so hard for so long and finally, you know,

453
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:34.920
<v Speaker 4>some of these artists like they just need that moment

454
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:37.279
<v Speaker 4>where it clicks right. And she'd been grinded forever and

455
00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:39.000
<v Speaker 4>she had her fan base and she could tour. She

456
00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:41.160
<v Speaker 4>she could tour forever even if this album weren't successful,

457
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:43.920
<v Speaker 4>the new one she's got now, but something clicks this

458
00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:45.359
<v Speaker 4>one and she's the biggest thing in the world.

459
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:46.720
<v Speaker 1>She's still hearing you're the future.

460
00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:49.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, she's sick of that now. She now she is,

461
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:52.920
<v Speaker 4>she's the now now, you know. But that's that's what's up, you.

462
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:55.319
<v Speaker 1>Know, very cool. Well, thank you, Jojo. I don't know

463
00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:57.079
<v Speaker 1>why I thought we were talking about Wango Tango, which

464
00:21:57.119 --> 00:22:00.960
<v Speaker 1>is why I wrote up off any of last week

465
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:01.359
<v Speaker 1>about it.

466
00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:03.640

502
00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:44.559
<v Speaker 3>Forty everywhere on the iHeart Radio.

503
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:47.680
<v Speaker 1>When you get snack on like dried fruit and darbonzo beams.

504
00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:49.720
<v Speaker 2>So I didn't even think about the snack part of it.

505
00:23:50.920 --> 00:23:54.759
<v Speaker 2>To pack my own bring in a chomp.

506
00:23:57.079 --> 00:23:57.920
<v Speaker 3>I brought my job.

507
00:23:58.599 --> 00:24:02.759
<v Speaker 2>Negotiators working to end the war between Russia and Ukraine

508
00:24:02.759 --> 00:24:06.400
<v Speaker 2>have already been talking about dividing up certain assets that's

509
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:08.480
<v Speaker 2>what President Trump said as he announced the plan to

510
00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:11.920
<v Speaker 2>speak with Vladimir Putin tomorrow. Trump's comments were on Air

511
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Force One. He announced last week that Ukraine had accepted

512
00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:17.559
<v Speaker 2>the US proposed thirty day ceasefire. That puts the ball

513
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:21.880
<v Speaker 2>in Russia's court, and they'll talk tomorrow about whether or

514
00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:25.599
<v Speaker 2>not Putin will accept the proposal to bring a quick

515
00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:27.559
<v Speaker 2>end to this now three year war.

516
00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Benzos are an issue. Some of the most commonly prescribed

517
00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:36.640
<v Speaker 1>psychiatric medications in America, but they're over prescribed. They're prescribed

518
00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:45.960
<v Speaker 1>for things like mild anxiety to insomnia, xanaxx.

519
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:51.119
<v Speaker 2>Klonopin, clinasma, auta, van valium, all of it, the razapam

520
00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:55.240
<v Speaker 2>and diazepam, a lot of PAMs, a lot of PAMs.

521
00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:56.400
<v Speaker 3>PAMs and lambs on that one.

522
00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:01.039
<v Speaker 2>The problem that is cropping up for some people. It's

523
00:25:01.160 --> 00:25:03.680
<v Speaker 2>not everybody, but for some people. There is a group

524
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:06.640
<v Speaker 2>of people who have been on these PAMs and lambs

525
00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:10.599
<v Speaker 2>who have an awful time trying to taper off because

526
00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:15.680
<v Speaker 2>it appears to make their anxiety that much worse.

527
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I noticed this with myself when I would take a

528
00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:24.480
<v Speaker 1>xanax lowest dosage, but I don't even know what that means.

529
00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember what it was, but it was very low, allegedly,

530
00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:30.000
<v Speaker 1>and I remember taking it for a fly, like because

531
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.680
<v Speaker 1>I was this nervous flyer and for whatever reason, which

532
00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:36.559
<v Speaker 1>doesn't sound like me, because I don't like pills. I'm

533
00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:38.839
<v Speaker 1>kind of terrified of them. But what they'll do, because

534
00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what they do, I guess is the thing.

535
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:43.559
<v Speaker 1>But I took them to fly. And I were one

536
00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:46.640
<v Speaker 1>time taking a xanax because I thought I was gonna

537
00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:48.720
<v Speaker 1>be nervous to fly, and I took it before I

538
00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:51.079
<v Speaker 1>had the nervousness set in. All right, So I take

539
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:54.680
<v Speaker 1>the xanax whatever. The next day, I'm wherever San Francisco,

540
00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:57.839
<v Speaker 1>wherever I am, and I noticed that my heart's beating fast,

541
00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:00.519
<v Speaker 1>and I feel like I've got anxiety. And what am

542
00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I doing in that moment, I don't know, going and

543
00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:04.920
<v Speaker 1>getting a bagel or something if something not to that

544
00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:08.720
<v Speaker 1>would not induce anxiety. And I thought to myself, Holy hell,

545
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:11.279
<v Speaker 1>I bet that xanax I took yesterday for what I

546
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:14.720
<v Speaker 1>thought was going to be an anxious flight is now

547
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:19.039
<v Speaker 1>wearing off and it's making it's giving me a xanax hangover.

548
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:21.640
<v Speaker 1>In the form of my body wanting more.

549
00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:26.839
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I think I mean that that is kudo.

550
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:29.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm giving kudos to you for having the wherewithal to

551
00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:33.359
<v Speaker 2>even think about that in that moment, to think that

552
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:35.599
<v Speaker 2>that may have been what caused it, as opposed to

553
00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:37.480
<v Speaker 2>just kind of ride in the wave of I'm.

554
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:39.839
<v Speaker 1>Still anxious about the thing or the Yeah.

555
00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:41.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know if I would have had

556
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:43.400
<v Speaker 2>the wherewithal to say that about myself.

557
00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:45.599
<v Speaker 1>I think you would have if you only get anxious

558
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:48.279
<v Speaker 1>when you fly, and then you know.

559
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:54.880
<v Speaker 3>And bagel doctors say that the there's an very bagel.

560
00:26:54.960 --> 00:26:55.640
<v Speaker 1>You want a bagel.

561
00:26:55.759 --> 00:27:02.400
<v Speaker 2>There's a strange impact of benzo withdrawaldiazepine withdrawal that is

562
00:27:02.440 --> 00:27:05.240
<v Speaker 2>something akin to a neurological disorder.

563
00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:06.079
<v Speaker 3>For some of the papiers.

564
00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:08.480
<v Speaker 1>It screws the brain chemistry.

565
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:13.039
<v Speaker 3>One woman describes this feeling. She had.

566
00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Her GP prescribed benzodiazepine for mild insomnia more than a

567
00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:23.839
<v Speaker 2>decade ago. She's a mother of five. She runs a charity,

568
00:27:24.319 --> 00:27:27.519
<v Speaker 2>and the xanax helped her sleep, but she said her

569
00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:31.279
<v Speaker 2>nervous system developed a debilitating physical dependence on it, and

570
00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:35.200
<v Speaker 2>when she tried to quit after five years, these symptoms

571
00:27:35.240 --> 00:27:36.200
<v Speaker 2>would consume her.

572
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:38.000
<v Speaker 3>She referred to something called.

573
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Brain zaps that would hit her like electric shocks, shower

574
00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:45.839
<v Speaker 2>water would jolt her so badly that she would suffer

575
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:49.079
<v Speaker 2>hours long panic attacks, and at times she would writhe

576
00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:52.839
<v Speaker 2>in pain until she passed out from this.

577
00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:53.759
<v Speaker 1>My God.

578
00:27:54.839 --> 00:27:57.759
<v Speaker 2>The size of the problem, we're not quite sure. For

579
00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:02.079
<v Speaker 2>some people it's or for some researchers, they say somewhere

580
00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:06.960
<v Speaker 2>between fifteen and forty four percent of chronic benzo users

581
00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:10.119
<v Speaker 2>will experience these moderate to severe withdrawal symptoms, and a

582
00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:13.759
<v Speaker 2>smaller group than that, somewhere maybe ten to fifteen percent,

583
00:28:14.079 --> 00:28:17.200
<v Speaker 2>would suffer from protracted symptoms that can last for months

584
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:20.559
<v Speaker 2>and continue long after the patients taper off the drugs,

585
00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:23.240
<v Speaker 2>and as you can imagine, some if for them the

586
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:26.359
<v Speaker 2>pain and the struggle is so much that they end

587
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:31.279
<v Speaker 2>up taking their own lives. There's a term for it.

588
00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:34.920
<v Speaker 2>A couple of years ago, group of advocates and scientists

589
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:39.640
<v Speaker 2>have proposed a term for this condition called benzodiazepine induced

590
00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:44.799
<v Speaker 2>neurological function a dysfunction. It's called BIND, and they just

591
00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:47.359
<v Speaker 2>at this point don't have enough of that long term

592
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:50.680
<v Speaker 2>research when it comes to the use of these drugs

593
00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:54.920
<v Speaker 2>and then the tapering off of the drugs to figure

594
00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:58.720
<v Speaker 2>out what causes some people to react this way and

595
00:28:58.759 --> 00:29:02.480
<v Speaker 2>not others. So that that I think is one of

596
00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:06.880
<v Speaker 2>the cautionary tales about just about any medication. Perhaps sure

597
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:09.920
<v Speaker 2>is to be careful because in some cases, you know

598
00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:11.759
<v Speaker 2>you're going to be on something for a long time

599
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:14.400
<v Speaker 2>that whether it's a let's say you have a genetic

600
00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:18.680
<v Speaker 2>predisposition to a certain thing high blood pressure or cholesterol,

601
00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:20.960
<v Speaker 2>whatever it is, and you get put on one of

602
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:21.640
<v Speaker 2>these drugs.

603
00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:22.559
<v Speaker 3>That's pretty common.

604
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:24.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, you think you see a lot of people

605
00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:29.319
<v Speaker 2>on them, but if you don't know the downstream impact

606
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:30.960
<v Speaker 2>that's going to have on the rest of your your

607
00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:35.960
<v Speaker 2>body and just it's apt to carrying.

608
00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:40.079
<v Speaker 3>Wow, that was some good times, boy, Shannon.

609
00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:42.400
<v Speaker 1>That's that's quite the laugh you got there.

610
00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:45.039
<v Speaker 3>You know I was gonna throw you a fish.

611
00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:48.559
<v Speaker 5>Good morning ger in Shannon, Mike and the High Desert.

612
00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:53.559
<v Speaker 5>Oh my god, I love Shannon's nerd laugh. It is

613
00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:57.200
<v Speaker 5>so great, awesome, awesome, have a good day.

614
00:29:57.240 --> 00:29:57.759
<v Speaker 3>Thanks, Mike.

615
00:29:58.200 --> 00:29:59.359
<v Speaker 1>Did I laugh differently?

616
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:02.480
<v Speaker 3>You don't remember laughing like ten.

617
00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:06.599
<v Speaker 1>Minute laughing, but it's differently than it was a loud snort. Oh,

618
00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:09.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, I didn't notice it. No, no, I will stop

619
00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:09.759
<v Speaker 1>being happy.

620
00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:10.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't mind it.

621
00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:13.400
<v Speaker 1>I will stop it right now. No more f and happiness.

622
00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:14.200
<v Speaker 3>I just thought it was.

623
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:17.359
<v Speaker 2>Funny that we were talking about how unstructured we are

624
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:20.759
<v Speaker 2>around company and then you inhaled your own sweater through

625
00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:21.359
<v Speaker 2>your note.

626
00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Well because you said you're climbing up next the Dark

627
00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:27.039
<v Speaker 1>side of Xanax. Like how on point? Like, we're just

628
00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:30.279
<v Speaker 1>highlighting the fact that we are not fun here, and

629
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:32.240
<v Speaker 1>then you had to go and make it worse.

630
00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:34.480
<v Speaker 2>You miss any of our snorting lasts, you can always

631
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:35.359
<v Speaker 2>go back out and check out.

632
00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:37.920
<v Speaker 1>If you miss the Dark Side of Xanax, make sure

633
00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:40.279
<v Speaker 1>to freaking circle back and double click on that.

634
00:30:40.599 --> 00:30:42.680

635

<v Speaker 2>anywhere you find things.

636
00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:49.759
<v Speaker 1>That make you happy that will kill you. Your coming

637
00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:53.720
<v Speaker 1>up next, why sugar is bad? What cupcakes and cookies

638
00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:58.400
<v Speaker 1>will kill you? I'm not equating Xanax with cupcakes and cookies.

639
00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:00.759
<v Speaker 1>I was just making a joke to which I will

640
00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:01.200
<v Speaker 1>not laugh.

641
00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:06.160
<v Speaker 3>Poor We'll continue right after this.
