WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:02.919 This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI 2 00:00:03.040 --> 00:00:05.360 A M six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on 3 00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:09.560 demand on the iHeartRadio app. It is a what you 4 00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:11.880 learned Friday on the Gary and Shannon Show is where 5 00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:13.279 you use that talkback feature. 6 00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:14.800 You know, Gary runs this thing. 7 00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:17.239 It's on his computer, so when he's gone, I don't 8 00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:19.600 use it, but I miss hearing from you guys. 9 00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:20.839 I miss hearing the talkback. 10 00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:24.199 So anyway, we will be taking those and Keana will 11 00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:27.280 compile all of them. What you learned on the Gary 12 00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:28.280 and Shannon Show. 13 00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:29.800 Let us know. 14 00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:32.799 If you're listening on the iHeartRadio app, you just use 15 00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:35.240 that talkback feature the little microphone. You just give it 16 00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.039 a little tap, record your message of what you learned 17 00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:40.079 and let us know. 18 00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:42.000 It's time for swamp watch. 19 00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:44.359 I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a 20 00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:48.200 liar and when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipops. Yeah, 21 00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.640 we got the real problem is that our leaders are done. 22 00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:52.880 The other side never quit. 23 00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:56.840 So what you're doing, I'm not going anywhere. 24 00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:59.960 So now now you train the swamp, I can imagine 25 00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.000 and what can be and be unburdened by what has 26 00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:05.239 been You know, Mervans have always been coming at president. 27 00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:06.519 They're not stupid. 28 00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:09.640 A political plunder is when a politician actually tells the truth. 29 00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:12.760 Whether people voted for you. With naswap watch, they're all 30 00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:14.680 counter on, Well. 31 00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:16.319 We'll just get it out of the way. Taking a 32 00:01:16.359 --> 00:01:19.319 look at the Dow right now, the Dow is down 33 00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:24.200 fifteen sixty nine, Nasdaq down about four point three percent, 34 00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:28.599 down about seven to ten. There. Stock markets worldwide continue 35 00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:32.480 to correne even today, even lower today, I should say, 36 00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:38.079 after China has struck back against President Trump's tariffs in 37 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.879 this escalating trade war. There was a better than expected 38 00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:45.680 report on the US job market, usually the economic highlight 39 00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:49.000 of every month. That was not enough to stop this slide. 40 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.640 And it doesn't hurt less knowing that it was coming, 41 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:56.519 but we did know what was coming. So far, there 42 00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.159 are few, if any winners when you look at the 43 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:04.040 markets from this trade war. European stocks saw some of 44 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:07.920 the day's biggest losses. The price of crude oil tumbled 45 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:14.360 to its lowest level in four years since twenty twenty one. Copper, 46 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.199 which is one of the building blocks for economic growth, 47 00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.719 Copper supply prices slide as well. 48 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:22.280 When you talk about the. 49 00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:29.800 Global economy weakening, pretty much everything is hit. On Friday 50 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:35.400 evening in Beijing, China set out to announce a series 51 00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:40.280 of rapid fire policy announcements, including thirty four percent across 52 00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:44.680 the board tariffs. China's basically saying, we have no intention 53 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.439 of backing down. We have no intention of coming to 54 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:51.360 the table and playing with you on the art of 55 00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:55.639 a deal. We will see who has more of a 56 00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:59.719 stomach for hardball as we continue, because like I said earlier, 57 00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:03.000 I don't know how much patience President Trump has to 58 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:05.639 be unpopular for a long period of time, and that's 59 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:08.439 what's going to happen, because it's not just the stock 60 00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:10.120 market and the intangibles. 61 00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:11.280 It's going to be the tangibles. 62 00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:13.360 It's going to be the things in the grocery store 63 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:17.680 that you're touching and feeling when you hit the cash register. 64 00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.639 So Trump's plan for thirty four percent tariffs on goods 65 00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:24.599 from China has been matched with a thirty four percent 66 00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:28.840 tariff on imports from the US. China's Ministry of Commerce 67 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.199 as it was adding eleven American companies to its list 68 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:36.639 of unreliable entities, which means that they are pretty much 69 00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:41.639 barred from doing business in China or with Chinese companies. 70 00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.919 This ministry imposed a licensing system to restrict exports of 71 00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:50.800 seven rare earth elements. And that's what I kept reading 72 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.120 this morning, rare earth elements. What the hell is that? 73 00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.240 I feel like I'm in some sort of crystal shop. 74 00:03:55.759 --> 00:04:01.319 Tell me my tarot reading. But no, these things go 75 00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:10.120 into everything from batteries, car systems, car computer systems, computer chips, 76 00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:14.759 electric cars, smart bombs. All of these things are going 77 00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:19.519 to be hit. China's General Administration of Customs that it 78 00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:23.519 would halt chicken imports from five of America's biggest exporters 79 00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:28.360 of AG commodities. So it is hitting people across the board, 80 00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:34.480 and just to touch on the ag AG industry, when 81 00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:38.120 it comes to small businesses, people are getting out and talking. 82 00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.439 Reporters are getting out and talking to people that run 83 00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:42.399 small businesses. 84 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:43.839 Wendy bro is one. 85 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.639 Wendy is owner of dry Ridge Farm in Marshall, North Carolina, 86 00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.120 and she says that these tariffs are like pouring salt 87 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:53.360 in a wound that's now just beginning to heal. 88 00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:55.319 We've kind of talked about that. 89 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:59.279 From a conceptualized level of we're just getting out of 90 00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:03.000 this inflation and that Trump campaign so hard to fix 91 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.920 with the waning days of the Bided administration, just keeping 92 00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:11.839 us deep into that inflation mess. This is now as 93 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:13.800 we try to crawl out of that. This is like 94 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:17.240 throwing a weight on top of it. Like Wendy said, 95 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.759 there was a small business meeting, a small business owner meeting, 96 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:24.319 I should say, this week, and Wendy says they talked 97 00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:27.079 about the fact that tariffs are increased the cost of 98 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:31.759 everything on the farm, from fertilizer and feed to construction 99 00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:36.680 materials and tractors, hitting this farming community there in Marshall 100 00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:41.240 while it is recovering not only from inflation and COVID 101 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:43.800 and all of that, but also the crop losses after 102 00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:48.040 Hurricane Helene. So they've had uncertainty for a long time 103 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:51.160 and we're hoping and praying that with this new administration 104 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:55.199 they'd have some solid ground quite literally to stand on 105 00:05:55.800 --> 00:06:00.279 and bounce back when it comes to their business there 106 00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:04.240 on the farm. But she says that the retaliatory tariffs 107 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:06.560 are going to affect their largest expense, which is the 108 00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:10.000 animal feed. So again we're just gonna have to wait 109 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:15.000 and see. I don't see the good thing about President 110 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:17.839 Trump's personality from what I've been able to glean over 111 00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.920 the years that we've been covering him, are that he 112 00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:23.839 will take a small victory and turn it into a 113 00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.920 large one. So if he can find a small victory 114 00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:31.879 in this tariff policy, if the Chinas of the world 115 00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:35.000 do not come to the table and rework the ways 116 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:39.199 that many believe that America is being screwed over, if 117 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.839 China refuses to come to that art of the deal table, 118 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:44.839 we're gonna have to find a small victory somewhere and 119 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:48.199 run with it to get out of this mess. 120 00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:50.399 If it ends up. 121 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.920 Where the other countries cave and we end up getting 122 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:57.800 better long term business deals with other countries when it 123 00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:02.240 comes to the global supply chain, excellent. But in the meantime, 124 00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.800 holy hell, things are going to get dark, all right? 125 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:07.040 Coming up next? 126 00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:10.920 Oh, I saw the story and I thought of Deborah, Well. 127 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:16.040 Keana sent it to me. No, there's not sex. People 128 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:17.600 are going to get the really really. 129 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:20.319 Odd I know, but I mean, you're right, we should 130 00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:23.480 explain more often. We don't explain the inside jokes enough. 131 00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:26.560 Deborah and I we found that we and this is 132 00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:30.720 years ago now probably that we both enjoy shows that 133 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:32.279 have a little bit of sex and them. 134 00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:34.000 Yes, we like this space. 135 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:34.560 This is none. 136 00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:37.360 This is all legal. It's all legal sex. It's all 137 00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:41.600 like PG. Thirteen type stuff. But we do like those shows, 138 00:07:41.600 --> 00:07:45.399 whether it's you know, The Gilded Age or sex Life 139 00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:49.600 on Netflix or whatever. They're entertaining. They're fun, they're popcorn shows. 140 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:50.040 You know. 141 00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:51.800 It makes us just not think about it. 142 00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:55.959 It's in a scape exactly why we watched that, And 143 00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:00.439 that's exactly why this story peaked my interest because here's 144 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:06.439 the headline, plane crashes, toxic spatulas, crime, How to think 145 00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:09.240 about risk in the world, because you know how you 146 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:12.879 feel about earthquake stebra, Yes, and there's just constantly this 147 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:15.920 barrage of bad news and things to be worried about. 148 00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:18.399 So this article was all about. 149 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:21.279 It was in Vox, I believe, how to deal with 150 00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:24.360 life's inevitable risks, how to just move past it, just 151 00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.720 to accept it and then continue on with your day. 152 00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:28.560 We'll get into it when we come back. 153 00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:33.159 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI 154 00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:34.639 AM six forty. 155 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:40.840 Fascinating story I'm just diving into here in Vox. How 156 00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:46.440 to live with life's inevitable risks. So many great points 157 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:49.159 to get to in this that they do get to. 158 00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:52.480 I guess I should say the opening line is the 159 00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:55.000 world is trying to kill you. This much is true. 160 00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:59.879 So they really set the table correctly. There they go 161 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:05.639 to talk about how plane crashes a nearly weekly basis forever. Chemicals, 162 00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:09.960 microplastics are in our water, They're in our beauty products, 163 00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:10.840 they're in our clothing. 164 00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:13.759 They're even in our brains. Remember that story from. 165 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:17.759 A few weeks ago about plastics in our brains. You're 166 00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:21.679 kitchen utensils poisoning you. Maybe your food is as well. 167 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:26.200 There was a lot of no wonder, anxiety is off 168 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:27.720 the hook, right. 169 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:28.799 No wonder. 170 00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:33.000 If you're constantly being bombarded with all of this, of 171 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:35.360 course you're going to think the world is a fundamentally 172 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:40.320 dangerous place. In twenty twenty three, there was a Gallop 173 00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:44.240 poll that said forty percent of Americans had they felt 174 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:48.600 unsafe walking home alone at night, the highest rate since 175 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.159 nineteen ninety three. Now, what was going on in nineteen 176 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:55.639 ninety three. I know I wasn't paying attention. I was 177 00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:01.399 a kid, But I'm if I if my memory serves 178 00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:06.200 correctly in any sort of reading I've ever done. That 179 00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:09.519 was when crime rates were through the roof right late eighties, 180 00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:17.879 early nineties. Violent crime was crazy, So that's notable. It's 181 00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:20.519 the highest rate now since nineteen ninety three. And nineteen 182 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:23.240 ninety three we didn't even really, we weren't bombarded with 183 00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:27.799 knowing about crime rates because we didn't have what we 184 00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:29.799 may have had. Twenty four hour new CNN may have 185 00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:33.039 been a thing. It was a thing, but we weren't 186 00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:36.840 bombarded with news in our pockets, in our hands, like 187 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:38.600 in our phones, the way we are now. 188 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:44.279 That has led us to believe that danger is everywhere, 189 00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:44.639 they say. 190 00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:50.159 Generations ago, risks were largely evaluated by the scientific and 191 00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.519 cultural knowledge of the day. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, 192 00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:57.600 some of the greatest risks came from natural causes. 193 00:10:58.360 --> 00:10:59.679 Fires that would. 194 00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:02.120 Destroy homes in the middle of the night in cities, 195 00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:05.159 you know, like the Great Fire, the Chicago Fire, whatever 196 00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:07.200 these fires you learn about in the history books, right, 197 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:13.759 Infectious diseases, the plague, black death, those things, unpredictable weather conditions, 198 00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:18.279 abs in any kind of data or expert guidance. People 199 00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.320 then relied largely on their own experience and their experiences 200 00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:24.799 of or the experiences of others that they had heard 201 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:27.879 about to kind of gauge risk. Like if your cousin 202 00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.240 went on a transcontinental ocean voyage and. 203 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:33.919 Never returned, you'd say, probably not for me. You die 204 00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:34.559 when you do that. 205 00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:40.559 They say that these days, we are staying well informed 206 00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:43.320 about all the bad and scary things happening the world 207 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:48.879 over data statistics in no short supply, and the scientists 208 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.039 will tell you we're not good at interpreting this information. 209 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:55.039 We are reactionary. We're not scientists. We're not going to 210 00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:56.480 sit down and be like, hm, now what does this 211 00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:57.000 mean and. 212 00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:57.679 Pour over it. 213 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.120 No, we're going to react and say, oh, hell, my 214 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:04.360 home's gonna crumble in the night. Dirk Wolf is a 215 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:08.320 senior research scientist at the Max Plant Institute for Human Development, 216 00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:10.799 and he says the human brain is ill equipped to 217 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:15.000 process large numbers. While a one in a million chance 218 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:17.559 of developing a rare cancer is hard for our brains 219 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:21.279 to digest. People think it's more likely than it really 220 00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:24.960 is because we're human and that's how we take numbers 221 00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:28.000 like that in. He says, the same goes for evaluating 222 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:31.759 risk based on our own experiences. And he says it's 223 00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:34.960 just objectively often wrong because we haven't made enough experiences 224 00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:37.039 to see some of the bad things that could happen 225 00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:41.200 if all your car rides occurred without incident. You may 226 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:45.399 incorrectly believe driving carries less risk than air travel based 227 00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:49.000 purely on your own history. So you know, how many 228 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:51.919 car crashes have you and your friends been in? How 229 00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:54.320 many airplane crashes have you and your friend's been in. 230 00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:57.159 It's that whole thing. It's like when you're flying and 231 00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:59.279 I have it, and I know it's in an irrational 232 00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:03.000 fear sometimes of flying. And I know it's irrational because 233 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:05.080 I've been in more car accidents than I have ever 234 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:09.159 in a plane accident. I guess part of the irrational 235 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.759 fear what feeds it is that plane crashes you don't 236 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:15.240 survives often she fors survived car crushes. Right, It's like, 237 00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:17.159 if the plane's going down, it's probably going to be 238 00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:21.200 a I'm not helping this story, I realize that, he says, 239 00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:24.320 and the senior research as scientists and the Max Planck 240 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.720 Institute Dirk Wolf says the most accurate assessment of risk 241 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:32.879 is to marry experience with data and expert driven advice, 242 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:39.639 but that our human miscalculations continually threaten that delicate balance, 243 00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:44.039 that we misjudge the risk for rare and extreme events. 244 00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.440 We choose to gamble despite the low likelihood of winning, 245 00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:51.080 opt out of swimming in the ocean due to the 246 00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:54.399 potential of a shark attack. Apparently, we're running around with 247 00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:59.559 a lot of irrational fears. The more in control you feel, 248 00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:04.120 they say, the more comfortable you are with risk. There 249 00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:07.639 was a book called how Risky is It Really? Why 250 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.559 our fears don't always match the facts. The author, David 251 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:14.919 Ropeak says, the more in control you feel, the more 252 00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:18.000 comfortable you are. So people fear cancer more and heart 253 00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:22.159 disease less because they think they have control over heart 254 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.519 disease because the risk factors are things that you can control. 255 00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:30.200 And the cancer fear is higher because the risk factors 256 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:32.080 of things people. 257 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:36.039 Feel they can't. That's wrong. You can. 258 00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:41.360 You can control your risk factors for heart disease and cancer. 259 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.840 He points out that we are all hyper connected. Obviously, 260 00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:50.960 we're inundated with stories of danger. Who's it affecting most 261 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:53.480 the kids that grew up with it. As part of 262 00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:58.440 ongoing research into gen Z's perception of risk. Montclair State 263 00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:02.159 University did a study that the onslaught of information about 264 00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:06.480 a plethora of threats like crime, small town kidnappings, mass shootings, 265 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:10.279 climate change, all of that. It's fueling these kids' fears. 266 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:13.840 A lot of people say, I could be kidnapped, it 267 00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.200 could be attacked, or the crime is worse it's ever been, 268 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.600 according to the professor of Justice Studies at Montclair, which 269 00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:27.080 isn't true. Watching extravagant safety routines on TikTok, videos that 270 00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:30.440 outline ways to intruder proof a hotel room or home 271 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:33.639 are just fueling the fire that the world is a 272 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:36.840 dangerous place to the generation that is taking in and 273 00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:44.360 consuming TikTok, which is jen z. It's all magnified if 274 00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:47.960 you're constantly being inundated and pushed all of this information, 275 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:51.240 like Debra who's doing the news every day of her 276 00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:56.320 life Monday through Friday, constantly reading more than anybody else 277 00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:59.879 about earthquakes, and then you feel in the little ones, 278 00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:03.679 you're more likely to have your brain go to that 279 00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:05.960 fear of the big one, of the earthquake. 280 00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:07.919 Because I was in the shower again this morning, Shannon, 281 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:09.320 and I said, you know what, I gotta I gotta 282 00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:14.919 make this a quickie just in case yet. No, I'm 283 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.000 not talking sex hair, Eric, I'm talking a quick shower, 284 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:21.360 and I didn't wash my hair this morning. 285 00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:25.240 It's just random thought. 286 00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:30.240 You know, things I don't want to impact. This is 287 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:31.879 what I don't want to have happened. This is why 288 00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:34.440 I did this story, Debrah. I don't want the fear 289 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:38.279 of the big one to result in you having to 290 00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:42.639 suffer through a quickie or dirty hair. 291 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:43.360 Thank you. 292 00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:45.480 I want you to be able to do all the 293 00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:47.759 things that you want to do in the shower that 294 00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:49.720 take as much time as they need to take. 295 00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.799 That does not sound good, and that was not what 296 00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:54.080 I intended. You know what I mean? 297 00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:55.720 I do, I know, I know, thank you. 298 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:58.639 No, Seriously, I need to I need to get on 299 00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:01.440 board with what you're talking about, because as it does impact. 300 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:02.480 Well, let me get to the solution. 301 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:05.400 Okay, Okay, let's just speed for I didn't know we 302 00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:07.119 were dealing with QUICKI situations. 303 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:09.359 Now we're in Defcon one. 304 00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:14.119 Okay, so it says the scientists say number one, avoid 305 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:17.880 forming an opinion based on gut feelings. Do some research, 306 00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:21.720 Read scientific studies in peer reviewed journals, or reports from 307 00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:25.559 trusted sources about the rates of the specific risk. Well, 308 00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:29.000 you've already done that, you kind of have. You basically 309 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:31.759 live with Lucy Jones. Now you only refer to her 310 00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:36.559 as Lucy. Here's number two. Ask yourself why you're frightened. 311 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:39.839 Is the topic capturing your attention because of news coverage 312 00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:45.079 or conversations on social media? Yeah, so they say to 313 00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:50.000 start consuming things that are not that well, I can't 314 00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:55.279 like the sex stories the sex movies. By the way, 315 00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:56.920 we have a new one to tell you about. It's 316 00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:00.559 coming up later in the hour. But but the thing, 317 00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:03.240 the takeaway is nothing in this world is without risk. 318 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:05.880 So you've got to just learn to live with it. 319 00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:10.079 Breathe realize that we're all going to die. Okay, there 320 00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:16.000 you go. J That was very not helpful. We'll throw 321 00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:19.079 up a link to the article. You want to dive 322 00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:20.160 into that a little bit more. 323 00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:25.279 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI 324 00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:26.400 am six forty. 325 00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:30.880 President Trump today said he's signing an executive order to 326 00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:33.960 keep TikTok running in the US for another seventy five 327 00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:37.559 days to give his administration more time to broker a 328 00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:43.160 deal to bring TikTok under American ownership. Last time we checked, 329 00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:46.759 Congress had mandated that TikTok be divested from China by 330 00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:51.039 January nineteenth or barred in the US, but he moved. 331 00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:54.519 Trump did unilaterally to extend the deadline to this weekend, 332 00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:57.799 trying to find an agreement, negotiate an agreement to keep 333 00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:01.599 it running. He has recently entered tained an array of 334 00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:05.720 offers from US businesses seeking to buy a share of TikTok, 335 00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:10.480 but China's Byte Dance, which owns TikTok and it's closely 336 00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:14.079 held algorithm, has insisted the platform is not for sale. 337 00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:18.039 You better believe that TikTok may be a hostage with 338 00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:19.559 this whole tariff. 339 00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:23.960 Mess that has been that has been brewing. 340 00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:28.759 I wouldn't be surprised if China and ByteDance say absolutely not, 341 00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:32.559 We're going to hold TikTok hostage here until you give 342 00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:34.039 us what we want. 343 00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:35.759 We'll see how that plays out. 344 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:38.000 And the other big story, you've heard it here first 345 00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:41.200 and you've heard it through KFI News. This afternoon, La 346 00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:45.720 County will pay an unprecedented four billion dollars to settle 347 00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:50.119 more than sixty eight hundred claims of sexual abuse perpetrated 348 00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:54.400 in juvenile facilities or foster cares back as the nineteen sixties. 349 00:19:55.640 --> 00:20:02.599 Sixty eight hundred claims. Payout is massive. It dwarfs every 350 00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:06.799 other payout. I believe the archdiocese payout for child sex 351 00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:07.440 abuse was. 352 00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:10.359 Two point four billion. This is four billion. 353 00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:15.720 No, no, no, that was one point five billion the archdioces, 354 00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:17.839 So this is four This is more than twice that. 355 00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:21.319 This is going to impact the county budget for years 356 00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:21.799 to come. 357 00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:23.880 They do say that they've structured it. 358 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:26.079 They brought in someone from the NFL in a way 359 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:32.559 to maintain the county's solvency. So but it is going 360 00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:35.960 to be very painful. It is the costliest financial settlement 361 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:40.039 in the history of La County Boom period. End of story. 362 00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:43.400 I mentioned this yesterday and it's worth a deeper dive. 363 00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:50.519 The tortoise. Remember the tortoise, the Galapagos tortoise. This may be, 364 00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:53.759 by the way, something that you could offer up for 365 00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:57.279 what you learned on the Gary and Shannon Show, because 366 00:20:57.319 --> 00:20:58.960 we have not learned much this week. 367 00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:02.559 We're a little low in the tank. So remember to let. 368 00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:04.359 Us know what you learned on the Gary and Shannon 369 00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:08.319 Show using that talkback feature. On the iHeartRadio app. Just 370 00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:10.680 hit the little microphone there and let us know what 371 00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:15.480 you learned. Maybe it's about the Galapagos tortoise, the Glappagas tortoise. 372 00:21:16.400 --> 00:21:20.279 The name of this tortoise is Mommy. Now stick with 373 00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:20.839 me through this. 374 00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:26.759 Mommy has lived most of her life at the Pennsylvania Zoo, 375 00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:31.839 at the Philadelphia Zoo in Pennsylvania. Okay, Mommy is ninety 376 00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:37.359 seven years old. How did she get her name? I 377 00:21:37.559 --> 00:21:44.200 don't know, because Mommy has just become a first time 378 00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:48.920 mom at ninety seven. She is the oldest known first 379 00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:53.200 time mother of her species at ninety seven years old, 380 00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:56.279 and her name is Mommy. By the way, it's always 381 00:21:56.400 --> 00:22:02.839 been Mommy. It was Mommy when this tortoise arrived in 382 00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:07.839 Philadelphia in nineteen thirty two, just four years old, straight 383 00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:12.400 from the wilds of the Galapagos. Apparently Mommy had flings 384 00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:19.119 with other species, but it was Abraiso Abraiso, a ninety 385 00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:25.599 six year old Galapagus tortoise, that fancied her to the 386 00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:31.079 point of conception. Abraiso and Mommy are the new parents. 387 00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:33.160 I need to stop saying that, because it's creeping me out. 388 00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:38.119 Are the new parents to four hatchlings. The newborns have 389 00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:41.880 bumped the population of the western Santa Cruz Galapagos tortoises 390 00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:44.640 in the US facilities to forty eight. 391 00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:47.559 Imagine that. 392 00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:51.599 The offspring of the first of their kind for the zoo, 393 00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:54.039 which is one hundred and fifty years old, a major 394 00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:57.599 boon for the future of the critically endangered species. The 395 00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:02.119 zoo will be debuting the currently name US Babies. You 396 00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:04.519 know how they differentiate them. They put different colors of 397 00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:09.119 nail polish on their shells. But their introduction to the 398 00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:12.960 public will coincide with a ninety third anniversary of Mommy's 399 00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:15.799 arrival at the zoo. They're going to stay at the 400 00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:18.359 Philadelphia Zoo for at least five years. Are going to 401 00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:21.279
