Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: A M six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on
Speaker 1: demand on the iHeartRadio app. It is a what you
Speaker 1: learned Friday on the Gary and Shannon Show is where
Speaker 1: you use that talkback feature.
Speaker 2: You know, Gary runs this thing.
Speaker 1: It's on his computer, so when he's gone, I don't
Speaker 1: use it, but I miss hearing from you guys.
Speaker 2: I miss hearing the talkback.
Speaker 1: So anyway, we will be taking those and Keana will
Speaker 1: compile all of them. What you learned on the Gary
Speaker 1: and Shannon Show.
Speaker 2: Let us know.
Speaker 1: If you're listening on the iHeartRadio app, you just use
Speaker 1: that talkback feature the little microphone. You just give it
Speaker 1: a little tap, record your message of what you learned
Speaker 1: and let us know.
Speaker 2: It's time for swamp watch.
Speaker 3: I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a
Speaker 3: liar and when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we got the real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 2: The other side never quit.
Speaker 3: So what you're doing, I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 2: So now now you train the swamp, I can imagine
Speaker 2: and what can be and be unburdened by what has
Speaker 2: been You know, Mervans have always been coming at president.
Speaker 4: They're not stupid.
Speaker 1: A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 2: Whether people voted for you. With naswap watch, they're all
Speaker 2: counter on, Well.
Speaker 1: We'll just get it out of the way. Taking a
Speaker 1: look at the Dow right now, the Dow is down
Speaker 1: fifteen sixty nine, Nasdaq down about four point three percent,
Speaker 1: down about seven to ten. There. Stock markets worldwide continue
Speaker 1: to correne even today, even lower today, I should say,
Speaker 1: after China has struck back against President Trump's tariffs in
Speaker 1: this escalating trade war. There was a better than expected
Speaker 1: report on the US job market, usually the economic highlight
Speaker 1: of every month. That was not enough to stop this slide.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't hurt less knowing that it was coming,
Speaker 1: but we did know what was coming. So far, there
Speaker 1: are few, if any winners when you look at the
Speaker 1: markets from this trade war. European stocks saw some of
Speaker 1: the day's biggest losses. The price of crude oil tumbled
Speaker 1: to its lowest level in four years since twenty twenty one. Copper,
Speaker 1: which is one of the building blocks for economic growth,
Speaker 1: Copper supply prices slide as well.
Speaker 2: When you talk about the.
Speaker 1: Global economy weakening, pretty much everything is hit. On Friday
Speaker 1: evening in Beijing, China set out to announce a series
Speaker 1: of rapid fire policy announcements, including thirty four percent across
Speaker 1: the board tariffs. China's basically saying, we have no intention
Speaker 1: of backing down. We have no intention of coming to
Speaker 1: the table and playing with you on the art of
Speaker 1: a deal. We will see who has more of a
Speaker 1: stomach for hardball as we continue, because like I said earlier,
Speaker 1: I don't know how much patience President Trump has to
Speaker 1: be unpopular for a long period of time, and that's
Speaker 1: what's going to happen, because it's not just the stock
Speaker 1: market and the intangibles.
Speaker 2: It's going to be the tangibles.
Speaker 1: It's going to be the things in the grocery store
Speaker 1: that you're touching and feeling when you hit the cash register.
Speaker 1: So Trump's plan for thirty four percent tariffs on goods
Speaker 1: from China has been matched with a thirty four percent
Speaker 1: tariff on imports from the US. China's Ministry of Commerce
Speaker 1: as it was adding eleven American companies to its list
Speaker 1: of unreliable entities, which means that they are pretty much
Speaker 1: barred from doing business in China or with Chinese companies.
Speaker 1: This ministry imposed a licensing system to restrict exports of
Speaker 1: seven rare earth elements. And that's what I kept reading
Speaker 1: this morning, rare earth elements. What the hell is that?
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm in some sort of crystal shop.
Speaker 1: Tell me my tarot reading. But no, these things go
Speaker 1: into everything from batteries, car systems, car computer systems, computer chips,
Speaker 1: electric cars, smart bombs. All of these things are going
Speaker 1: to be hit. China's General Administration of Customs that it
Speaker 1: would halt chicken imports from five of America's biggest exporters
Speaker 1: of AG commodities. So it is hitting people across the board,
Speaker 1: and just to touch on the ag AG industry, when
Speaker 1: it comes to small businesses, people are getting out and talking.
Speaker 1: Reporters are getting out and talking to people that run
Speaker 1: small businesses.
Speaker 2: Wendy bro is one.
Speaker 1: Wendy is owner of dry Ridge Farm in Marshall, North Carolina,
Speaker 1: and she says that these tariffs are like pouring salt
Speaker 1: in a wound that's now just beginning to heal.
Speaker 2: We've kind of talked about that.
Speaker 1: From a conceptualized level of we're just getting out of
Speaker 1: this inflation and that Trump campaign so hard to fix
Speaker 1: with the waning days of the Bided administration, just keeping
Speaker 1: us deep into that inflation mess. This is now as
Speaker 1: we try to crawl out of that. This is like
Speaker 1: throwing a weight on top of it. Like Wendy said,
Speaker 1: there was a small business meeting, a small business owner meeting,
Speaker 1: I should say, this week, and Wendy says they talked
Speaker 1: about the fact that tariffs are increased the cost of
Speaker 1: everything on the farm, from fertilizer and feed to construction
Speaker 1: materials and tractors, hitting this farming community there in Marshall
Speaker 1: while it is recovering not only from inflation and COVID
Speaker 1: and all of that, but also the crop losses after
Speaker 1: Hurricane Helene. So they've had uncertainty for a long time
Speaker 1: and we're hoping and praying that with this new administration
Speaker 1: they'd have some solid ground quite literally to stand on
Speaker 1: and bounce back when it comes to their business there
Speaker 1: on the farm. But she says that the retaliatory tariffs
Speaker 1: are going to affect their largest expense, which is the
Speaker 1: animal feed. So again we're just gonna have to wait
Speaker 1: and see. I don't see the good thing about President
Speaker 1: Trump's personality from what I've been able to glean over
Speaker 1: the years that we've been covering him, are that he
Speaker 1: will take a small victory and turn it into a
Speaker 1: large one. So if he can find a small victory
Speaker 1: in this tariff policy, if the Chinas of the world
Speaker 1: do not come to the table and rework the ways
Speaker 1: that many believe that America is being screwed over, if
Speaker 1: China refuses to come to that art of the deal table,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to find a small victory somewhere and
Speaker 1: run with it to get out of this mess.
Speaker 2: If it ends up.
Speaker 1: Where the other countries cave and we end up getting
Speaker 1: better long term business deals with other countries when it
Speaker 1: comes to the global supply chain, excellent. But in the meantime,
Speaker 1: holy hell, things are going to get dark, all right?
Speaker 2: Coming up next?
Speaker 1: Oh, I saw the story and I thought of Deborah, Well.
Speaker 2: Keana sent it to me. No, there's not sex. People
Speaker 2: are going to get the really really.
Speaker 1: Odd I know, but I mean, you're right, we should
Speaker 1: explain more often. We don't explain the inside jokes enough.
Speaker 1: Deborah and I we found that we and this is
Speaker 1: years ago now probably that we both enjoy shows that
Speaker 1: have a little bit of sex and them.
Speaker 2: Yes, we like this space.
Speaker 3: This is none.
Speaker 1: This is all legal. It's all legal sex. It's all
Speaker 1: like PG. Thirteen type stuff. But we do like those shows,
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, The Gilded Age or sex Life
Speaker 1: on Netflix or whatever. They're entertaining. They're fun, they're popcorn shows.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: It makes us just not think about it.
Speaker 1: It's in a scape exactly why we watched that, And
Speaker 1: that's exactly why this story peaked my interest because here's
Speaker 1: the headline, plane crashes, toxic spatulas, crime, How to think
Speaker 1: about risk in the world, because you know how you
Speaker 1: feel about earthquake stebra, Yes, and there's just constantly this
Speaker 1: barrage of bad news and things to be worried about.
Speaker 2: So this article was all about.
Speaker 1: It was in Vox, I believe, how to deal with
Speaker 1: life's inevitable risks, how to just move past it, just
Speaker 1: to accept it and then continue on with your day.
Speaker 2: We'll get into it when we come back.
Speaker 3: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 3: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Fascinating story I'm just diving into here in Vox. How
Speaker 1: to live with life's inevitable risks. So many great points
Speaker 1: to get to in this that they do get to.
Speaker 1: I guess I should say the opening line is the
Speaker 1: world is trying to kill you. This much is true.
Speaker 1: So they really set the table correctly. There they go
Speaker 1: to talk about how plane crashes a nearly weekly basis forever. Chemicals,
Speaker 1: microplastics are in our water, They're in our beauty products,
Speaker 1: they're in our clothing.
Speaker 2: They're even in our brains. Remember that story from.
Speaker 1: A few weeks ago about plastics in our brains. You're
Speaker 1: kitchen utensils poisoning you. Maybe your food is as well.
Speaker 1: There was a lot of no wonder, anxiety is off
Speaker 1: the hook, right.
Speaker 2: No wonder.
Speaker 1: If you're constantly being bombarded with all of this, of
Speaker 1: course you're going to think the world is a fundamentally
Speaker 1: dangerous place. In twenty twenty three, there was a Gallop
Speaker 1: poll that said forty percent of Americans had they felt
Speaker 1: unsafe walking home alone at night, the highest rate since
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three. Now, what was going on in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety three. I know I wasn't paying attention. I was
Speaker 1: a kid, But I'm if I if my memory serves
Speaker 1: correctly in any sort of reading I've ever done. That
Speaker 1: was when crime rates were through the roof right late eighties,
Speaker 1: early nineties. Violent crime was crazy, So that's notable. It's
Speaker 1: the highest rate now since nineteen ninety three. And nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety three we didn't even really, we weren't bombarded with
Speaker 1: knowing about crime rates because we didn't have what we
Speaker 1: may have had. Twenty four hour new CNN may have
Speaker 1: been a thing. It was a thing, but we weren't
Speaker 1: bombarded with news in our pockets, in our hands, like
Speaker 1: in our phones, the way we are now.
Speaker 2: That has led us to believe that danger is everywhere,
Speaker 2: they say.
Speaker 1: Generations ago, risks were largely evaluated by the scientific and
Speaker 1: cultural knowledge of the day. Prior to the Industrial Revolution,
Speaker 1: some of the greatest risks came from natural causes.
Speaker 2: Fires that would.
Speaker 1: Destroy homes in the middle of the night in cities,
Speaker 1: you know, like the Great Fire, the Chicago Fire, whatever
Speaker 1: these fires you learn about in the history books, right,
Speaker 1: Infectious diseases, the plague, black death, those things, unpredictable weather conditions,
Speaker 1: abs in any kind of data or expert guidance. People
Speaker 1: then relied largely on their own experience and their experiences
Speaker 1: of or the experiences of others that they had heard
Speaker 1: about to kind of gauge risk. Like if your cousin
Speaker 1: went on a transcontinental ocean voyage and.
Speaker 2: Never returned, you'd say, probably not for me. You die
Speaker 2: when you do that.
Speaker 1: They say that these days, we are staying well informed
Speaker 1: about all the bad and scary things happening the world
Speaker 1: over data statistics in no short supply, and the scientists
Speaker 1: will tell you we're not good at interpreting this information.
Speaker 1: We are reactionary. We're not scientists. We're not going to
Speaker 1: sit down and be like, hm, now what does this
Speaker 1: mean and.
Speaker 2: Pour over it.
Speaker 1: No, we're going to react and say, oh, hell, my
Speaker 1: home's gonna crumble in the night. Dirk Wolf is a
Speaker 1: senior research scientist at the Max Plant Institute for Human Development,
Speaker 1: and he says the human brain is ill equipped to
Speaker 1: process large numbers. While a one in a million chance
Speaker 1: of developing a rare cancer is hard for our brains
Speaker 1: to digest. People think it's more likely than it really
Speaker 1: is because we're human and that's how we take numbers
Speaker 1: like that in. He says, the same goes for evaluating
Speaker 1: risk based on our own experiences. And he says it's
Speaker 1: just objectively often wrong because we haven't made enough experiences
Speaker 1: to see some of the bad things that could happen
Speaker 1: if all your car rides occurred without incident. You may
Speaker 1: incorrectly believe driving carries less risk than air travel based
Speaker 1: purely on your own history. So you know, how many
Speaker 1: car crashes have you and your friends been in? How
Speaker 1: many airplane crashes have you and your friend's been in.
Speaker 1: It's that whole thing. It's like when you're flying and
Speaker 1: I have it, and I know it's in an irrational
Speaker 1: fear sometimes of flying. And I know it's irrational because
Speaker 1: I've been in more car accidents than I have ever
Speaker 1: in a plane accident. I guess part of the irrational
Speaker 1: fear what feeds it is that plane crashes you don't
Speaker 1: survives often she fors survived car crushes. Right, It's like,
Speaker 1: if the plane's going down, it's probably going to be
Speaker 1: a I'm not helping this story, I realize that, he says,
Speaker 1: and the senior research as scientists and the Max Planck
Speaker 1: Institute Dirk Wolf says the most accurate assessment of risk
Speaker 1: is to marry experience with data and expert driven advice,
Speaker 1: but that our human miscalculations continually threaten that delicate balance,
Speaker 1: that we misjudge the risk for rare and extreme events.
Speaker 1: We choose to gamble despite the low likelihood of winning,
Speaker 1: opt out of swimming in the ocean due to the
Speaker 1: potential of a shark attack. Apparently, we're running around with
Speaker 1: a lot of irrational fears. The more in control you feel,
Speaker 1: they say, the more comfortable you are with risk. There
Speaker 1: was a book called how Risky is It Really? Why
Speaker 1: our fears don't always match the facts. The author, David
Speaker 1: Ropeak says, the more in control you feel, the more
Speaker 1: comfortable you are. So people fear cancer more and heart
Speaker 1: disease less because they think they have control over heart
Speaker 1: disease because the risk factors are things that you can control.
Speaker 1: And the cancer fear is higher because the risk factors
Speaker 1: of things people.
Speaker 2: Feel they can't. That's wrong. You can.
Speaker 1: You can control your risk factors for heart disease and cancer.
Speaker 1: He points out that we are all hyper connected. Obviously,
Speaker 1: we're inundated with stories of danger. Who's it affecting most
Speaker 1: the kids that grew up with it. As part of
Speaker 1: ongoing research into gen Z's perception of risk. Montclair State
Speaker 1: University did a study that the onslaught of information about
Speaker 1: a plethora of threats like crime, small town kidnappings, mass shootings,
Speaker 1: climate change, all of that. It's fueling these kids' fears.
Speaker 1: A lot of people say, I could be kidnapped, it
Speaker 1: could be attacked, or the crime is worse it's ever been,
Speaker 1: according to the professor of Justice Studies at Montclair, which
Speaker 1: isn't true. Watching extravagant safety routines on TikTok, videos that
Speaker 1: outline ways to intruder proof a hotel room or home
Speaker 1: are just fueling the fire that the world is a
Speaker 1: dangerous place to the generation that is taking in and
Speaker 1: consuming TikTok, which is jen z. It's all magnified if
Speaker 1: you're constantly being inundated and pushed all of this information,
Speaker 1: like Debra who's doing the news every day of her
Speaker 1: life Monday through Friday, constantly reading more than anybody else
Speaker 1: about earthquakes, and then you feel in the little ones,
Speaker 1: you're more likely to have your brain go to that
Speaker 1: fear of the big one, of the earthquake.
Speaker 5: Because I was in the shower again this morning, Shannon,
Speaker 5: and I said, you know what, I gotta I gotta
Speaker 5: make this a quickie just in case yet. No, I'm
Speaker 5: not talking sex hair, Eric, I'm talking a quick shower,
Speaker 5: and I didn't wash my hair this morning.
Speaker 2: It's just random thought.
Speaker 1: You know, things I don't want to impact. This is
Speaker 1: what I don't want to have happened. This is why
Speaker 1: I did this story, Debrah. I don't want the fear
Speaker 1: of the big one to result in you having to
Speaker 1: suffer through a quickie or dirty hair.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: I want you to be able to do all the
Speaker 1: things that you want to do in the shower that
Speaker 1: take as much time as they need to take.
Speaker 2: That does not sound good, and that was not what
Speaker 2: I intended. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I do, I know, I know, thank you.
Speaker 5: No, Seriously, I need to I need to get on
Speaker 5: board with what you're talking about, because as it does impact.
Speaker 2: Well, let me get to the solution.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, let's just speed for I didn't know we
Speaker 1: were dealing with QUICKI situations.
Speaker 2: Now we're in Defcon one.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it says the scientists say number one, avoid
Speaker 1: forming an opinion based on gut feelings. Do some research,
Speaker 1: Read scientific studies in peer reviewed journals, or reports from
Speaker 1: trusted sources about the rates of the specific risk. Well,
Speaker 1: you've already done that, you kind of have. You basically
Speaker 1: live with Lucy Jones. Now you only refer to her
Speaker 1: as Lucy. Here's number two. Ask yourself why you're frightened.
Speaker 1: Is the topic capturing your attention because of news coverage
Speaker 1: or conversations on social media? Yeah, so they say to
Speaker 1: start consuming things that are not that well, I can't
Speaker 1: like the sex stories the sex movies. By the way,
Speaker 1: we have a new one to tell you about. It's
Speaker 1: coming up later in the hour. But but the thing,
Speaker 1: the takeaway is nothing in this world is without risk.
Speaker 1: So you've got to just learn to live with it.
Speaker 1: Breathe realize that we're all going to die. Okay, there
Speaker 1: you go. J That was very not helpful. We'll throw
Speaker 1: up a link to the article. You want to dive
Speaker 1: into that a little bit more.
Speaker 3: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
Speaker 3: am six forty.
Speaker 1: President Trump today said he's signing an executive order to
Speaker 1: keep TikTok running in the US for another seventy five
Speaker 1: days to give his administration more time to broker a
Speaker 1: deal to bring TikTok under American ownership. Last time we checked,
Speaker 1: Congress had mandated that TikTok be divested from China by
Speaker 1: January nineteenth or barred in the US, but he moved.
Speaker 1: Trump did unilaterally to extend the deadline to this weekend,
Speaker 1: trying to find an agreement, negotiate an agreement to keep
Speaker 1: it running. He has recently entered tained an array of
Speaker 1: offers from US businesses seeking to buy a share of TikTok,
Speaker 1: but China's Byte Dance, which owns TikTok and it's closely
Speaker 1: held algorithm, has insisted the platform is not for sale.
Speaker 1: You better believe that TikTok may be a hostage with
Speaker 1: this whole tariff.
Speaker 2: Mess that has been that has been brewing.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if China and ByteDance say absolutely not,
Speaker 1: We're going to hold TikTok hostage here until you give
Speaker 1: us what we want.
Speaker 2: We'll see how that plays out.
Speaker 1: And the other big story, you've heard it here first
Speaker 1: and you've heard it through KFI News. This afternoon, La
Speaker 1: County will pay an unprecedented four billion dollars to settle
Speaker 1: more than sixty eight hundred claims of sexual abuse perpetrated
Speaker 1: in juvenile facilities or foster cares back as the nineteen sixties.
Speaker 1: Sixty eight hundred claims. Payout is massive. It dwarfs every
Speaker 1: other payout. I believe the archdiocese payout for child sex
Speaker 1: abuse was.
Speaker 2: Two point four billion. This is four billion.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, that was one point five billion the archdioces,
Speaker 1: So this is four This is more than twice that.
Speaker 1: This is going to impact the county budget for years
Speaker 1: to come.
Speaker 2: They do say that they've structured it.
Speaker 1: They brought in someone from the NFL in a way
Speaker 1: to maintain the county's solvency. So but it is going
Speaker 1: to be very painful. It is the costliest financial settlement
Speaker 1: in the history of La County Boom period. End of story.
Speaker 1: I mentioned this yesterday and it's worth a deeper dive.
Speaker 1: The tortoise. Remember the tortoise, the Galapagos tortoise. This may be,
Speaker 1: by the way, something that you could offer up for
Speaker 1: what you learned on the Gary and Shannon Show, because
Speaker 1: we have not learned much this week.
Speaker 2: We're a little low in the tank. So remember to let.
Speaker 1: Us know what you learned on the Gary and Shannon
Speaker 1: Show using that talkback feature. On the iHeartRadio app. Just
Speaker 1: hit the little microphone there and let us know what
Speaker 1: you learned. Maybe it's about the Galapagos tortoise, the Glappagas tortoise.
Speaker 2: The name of this tortoise is Mommy. Now stick with
Speaker 2: me through this.
Speaker 1: Mommy has lived most of her life at the Pennsylvania Zoo,
Speaker 1: at the Philadelphia Zoo in Pennsylvania. Okay, Mommy is ninety
Speaker 1: seven years old. How did she get her name? I
Speaker 1: don't know, because Mommy has just become a first time
Speaker 1: mom at ninety seven. She is the oldest known first
Speaker 1: time mother of her species at ninety seven years old,
Speaker 1: and her name is Mommy. By the way, it's always
Speaker 1: been Mommy. It was Mommy when this tortoise arrived in
Speaker 1: Philadelphia in nineteen thirty two, just four years old, straight
Speaker 1: from the wilds of the Galapagos. Apparently Mommy had flings
Speaker 1: with other species, but it was Abraiso Abraiso, a ninety
Speaker 1: six year old Galapagus tortoise, that fancied her to the
Speaker 1: point of conception. Abraiso and Mommy are the new parents.
Speaker 1: I need to stop saying that, because it's creeping me out.
Speaker 1: Are the new parents to four hatchlings. The newborns have
Speaker 1: bumped the population of the western Santa Cruz Galapagos tortoises
Speaker 1: in the US facilities to forty eight.
Speaker 2: Imagine that.
Speaker 1: The offspring of the first of their kind for the zoo,
Speaker 1: which is one hundred and fifty years old, a major
Speaker 1: boon for the future of the critically endangered species. The
Speaker 1: zoo will be debuting the currently name US Babies. You
Speaker 1: know how they differentiate them. They put different colors of
Speaker 1: nail polish on their shells. But their introduction to the
Speaker 1: public will coincide with a ninety third anniversary of Mommy's
Speaker 1: arrival at the zoo. They're going to stay at the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Zoo for at least five years. Are going to
Speaker 1: be at a protected habitat because they're very tiny, and
Speaker 1: they'll be separate from the adults. The adults can weighup
Speaker 1: to five hundred pounds. But imagine that Mommy had flings
Speaker 1: with other species, but it was Abrazo. Abrazo whose records
Speaker 1: go back to a Texas zoo in nineteen twenty nine,
Speaker 1: new parents at ninety seven and ninety six. That sounds exhausting,
Speaker 1: just exhausting, But how beautiful. If you want a close encounter,
Speaker 1: the zoo does offer a behind the scenes experience three
Speaker 1: times a week with the Galapagos and Aldebras tortoises. Tickets
Speaker 1: will cost you sixty five dollars plus zoo admission. That
Speaker 1: would be a fun.
Speaker 2: Date or not? Or is that like a serial killer date?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I can't decide whether that be cute or problematic. Guys like, hey,
Speaker 1: I got these tickets, these special tickets, and go see.
Speaker 2: These tortoises, like, I mean, be kind of cool. I know,
Speaker 2: but is it close to the line of serial killer stuff?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. I don't know anymore.
Speaker 2: I don't either.
Speaker 3: I don't like what this says because I've taken a
Speaker 3: girl to the zoo on a date before.
Speaker 2: That's sweet. The zoo is sweet.
Speaker 1: Like the specific enclosure I think is where you get
Speaker 1: a little bit weird.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fair, right, like the zoo.
Speaker 1: That's a good date. Did you get any action out
Speaker 1: of that? Yeah you did, Yeah you did, Yeah you did.
Speaker 1: You don't see a baby draft and not get.
Speaker 2: Action, all right?
Speaker 1: Coming up next, Speaking of action, Deborah Mark and I
Speaker 1: have a new show where I'm going to start watching
Speaker 1: it today.
Speaker 2: I think I think I'm going to tonight.
Speaker 1: You know, I was thinking, I am at such a
Speaker 1: loss after This Is Us because it was such a
Speaker 1: cathartic experience for me, where like it was an outlet
Speaker 1: to feel emotions. This is Us was and now it's gone.
Speaker 1: And I was watching the trailer for this set. What
Speaker 1: I thought was just a sex show, but it involves
Speaker 1: a sick woman and I started tearing up a little
Speaker 1: bit watching this trailer.
Speaker 2: It's based on a true story. Okay, we'll tell you
Speaker 2: about it when we come back.
Speaker 3: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 3: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: What did you learn on this week of the Gary
Speaker 1: and Channon Show.
Speaker 2: Let us know.
Speaker 1: Use the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. Use that
Speaker 1: little microphone, tap it and let us know. Hey, even
Speaker 1: if you didn't learn anything, let us know that you
Speaker 1: didn't learn anything, because, to be honest, I'm thinking back
Speaker 1: about what I learned on the Gary and Channon Show
Speaker 1: this week, and I'm coming up blank. I am coming
Speaker 1: up with a big fat zero. I know I had
Speaker 1: a good time. I know I was here just like
Speaker 1: y'all we're here, had a good time. I just I
Speaker 1: can't really remember what I learned. I guess i'd go
Speaker 1: back to the tortoise story that a tortoise can make
Speaker 1: a tortoise baby at ninety seven, I don't know, and
Speaker 1: that that tortoise was banging around with all those other tortaise.
Speaker 2: Is it tortoises or tortaise, I don't know.
Speaker 1: But she's banging around for ninety seven years and never
Speaker 1: makes a baby, and then all of a sudden, I mean,
Speaker 1: she thought she was in the clear, she thought she
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna get pregnant. She was like, ah, I've been
Speaker 1: banging around with these tortoises for a long time. I
Speaker 1: don't I'm not going to have a baby. She's living
Speaker 1: her life, she's traveling, she's doing things, and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, she's got a baby at ninety seven.
Speaker 2: That's a complete change of life for her. That's what
Speaker 2: I learned.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Devor Mark texted me this morning because we've had
Speaker 1: a dearth we've kind of reached this point where I
Speaker 1: think everybody feels this way, where you've got like some
Speaker 1: shows you're into and you're streaming and you're to go
Speaker 1: home and be like, oh, I've got this show, get
Speaker 1: a couple more episodes and to catch up, or there's
Speaker 1: a new season of such and such, and we've been
Speaker 1: kind of lamenting that, like we don't really have anything
Speaker 1: right now. I did Deborah fall into a show yesterday
Speaker 1: because Justin Wisham told me about it, said he and
Speaker 1: his wife are enjoying it. And it's The Secret Millionaire
Speaker 1: on Netflix and it is a new reality show. It
Speaker 1: sounds like it's an old reality show, like they've done
Speaker 1: this before, where there's nine strangers and they're in this
Speaker 1: beautiful mansion and it really is beautiful. It's a beautiful setting.
Speaker 1: And the difference is this is a reality show where
Speaker 1: people eat. They eat these beautifully crafted meals and they
Speaker 1: actually eat the food. It's fascinating to watch people eat
Speaker 1: on reality TV.
Speaker 5: And I'm not a big reality TV lever. I gotta
Speaker 5: be honest.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I go and spits and whatever that phrase is.
Speaker 1: I sometimes I'm into it, sometimes I'm not. I kind
Speaker 1: of got over the Housewives. That's kind of the ship
Speaker 1: has sailed for me. But this one, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think it's Justin recommended it and he said he
Speaker 1: and his wife will like it.
Speaker 2: So I was like, okay, that's two people. Check it out.
Speaker 2: And it was really clever.
Speaker 1: And it's a good way. It's a good waste of time.
Speaker 1: That's what I will say. Okay, But anyway, I fell
Speaker 1: into that. Yesterday watched a couple episodes of that. In
Speaker 1: other words, six I watched six episodes. But Devor texted
Speaker 1: me this morning with a new show with sex in
Speaker 1: the title.
Speaker 5: Yes, remember I think it was last week. I think,
Speaker 5: I don't know if I said it on the air.
Speaker 5: Off I said, oh, Shannon, there's there's a new show
Speaker 5: coming in there's there's sex in the title. I don't
Speaker 5: remember what it is called. And then today, because it
Speaker 5: debuts today, it popped up on my phone and I
Speaker 5: had to tell you, so I texted you right away. Yes,
Speaker 5: and go ahead, you want to say what it's like.
Speaker 1: It's called Dying for Sex and it's with Michelle Williams
Speaker 1: and she plays a woman. This is what I've gleaned
Speaker 1: from just watching the trailer, which I did tear up
Speaker 1: a little bit watching it. She dying, She's a young
Speaker 1: woman dying from cancer. We've we've we've watched this movie before.
Speaker 1: But here's a twist. She has never Let's shall we
Speaker 1: say I had enjoyable sex to a point with another human?
Speaker 2: Okay, we can't. We can't. We can't say it.
Speaker 1: I mean we could.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1: So so she is now and they showed this like
Speaker 1: clip of her with who I'm assuming is a therapist
Speaker 1: or someone to help her through her diagnosis and life
Speaker 1: and all of that, and she says something to the
Speaker 1: effect to Michelle Williams, Well, everyone's got a bucket list,
Speaker 1: so it seems like this is gonna be Michelle Williams.
Speaker 1: Her character's bucket list is to go and have sex
Speaker 1: with guys she gets on the dating apps and with
Speaker 1: this being her quest, her dying quest.
Speaker 2: And it is a.
Speaker 1: It is a series, right, not a movie. And it's
Speaker 1: based on a true story.
Speaker 4: It was a podcast, Oh my gosh, okay, and yeah,
Speaker 4: so it's based on the woman has terminal breast cancer
Speaker 4: and I've never heard of something like this before.
Speaker 5: It's I'm I'm really looking forward to watching it for
Speaker 5: lots of different reasons. But I know I'm going to
Speaker 5: be really sad. Sometimes I need a good cry.
Speaker 1: I know I do too, And this one. It's on Hulu.
Speaker 1: It's a they call it a comedy drama mini series
Speaker 1: for FX on Hulu. It's eight episodes. They're all debuting
Speaker 1: today or they have debut they're available. And yeah, I
Speaker 1: was gonna say, I'm surprised I haven't heard the podcast.
Speaker 1: But usually if this podcast was sold as somebody is
Speaker 1: sick with cancer and they're you know, on the dating apps,
Speaker 1: it probably wouldn't be something I clicked on, although it sounds.
Speaker 2: You know, usually it's true crime stuff that I'll click on.
Speaker 1: But this, this looks really really good, might be one
Speaker 1: of those ones where I go back.
Speaker 2: And listen to the podcast.
Speaker 1: But but yeah, so.
Speaker 5: The name of the podcast series, let's see, what was
Speaker 5: the name, Well, it's based on the name, right, based
Speaker 5: on the podcast series of the same name by Wondering.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Wondering Boyar Yeah, Wondering Guy's great podcasts. I mean,
Speaker 1: they're not as good as the Iheartradios, Gary and Channon
