Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: At the bottom of the hour, going to get into
Speaker 2: some strange science stories. Is some of the craziness that
Speaker 2: goes on in the world of science, including cryonics. You know,
Speaker 2: you know cryonics, the whole ted volumes, they froze the thing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's not as good for you as you think. I mean,
Speaker 2: it happens after you're dead, so it's not like it's
Speaker 2: kind of neutral. But it doesn't necessarily mean that they're
Speaker 2: ever going to be able to reanimate your body because
Speaker 2: the process of it is not really good for you.
Speaker 1: I'm getting a kick out of the whole cold plunge trend.
Speaker 1: That cracks me up. You've got a pool that you
Speaker 1: don't heat, why do you start charging people? Throw them
Speaker 1: in there and charge them forty bucks. I don't think
Speaker 1: that's a great idea. You can make a lot of money,
Speaker 1: but it would garries. Cold plunge. It's just a test
Speaker 1: of your discipline, your self discipline. It's a fight or
Speaker 1: flight thing. You force your body into fight or flight,
Speaker 1: and then you get tired and then you can go
Speaker 1: to sleep, and then you win, and then what and
Speaker 1: then you're you're if I did of accomplishment.
Speaker 2: Okay, But if I did it every morning, if I
Speaker 2: got up and the first thing I did was I
Speaker 2: walk downstairs and or yeah, walk downstairs and jumped in
Speaker 2: the pool, yeah, and then got out of the pool,
Speaker 2: then what then I take a hot shower.
Speaker 3: Yeah? Okay.
Speaker 1: But then what it does is it allegedly makes you
Speaker 1: think you've won the fight or flight fight, and then
Speaker 1: you get all the benefits of thinking that you won
Speaker 1: that less cortisol, you can sleep easier, you feel like
Speaker 1: you've done something, all of the health benefits that go
Speaker 1: along with thinking you've been successful.
Speaker 2: So I would come in here like I'm cranked out
Speaker 2: on four shots of espresso like you.
Speaker 1: I don't know what your body react, how your body
Speaker 1: reacts to that.
Speaker 3: Hey, Gary, use white Oak much better, much nicer than
Speaker 3: Birch white Oak.
Speaker 1: I know a good cabinet guy up here and closed
Speaker 1: when you need him clothes.
Speaker 3: He's terrific.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I was telling you off the air, I was
Speaker 1: trying one when I was asking all those questions about
Speaker 1: the would I was remembering overboard the original with Goldie
Speaker 1: haunting Kurt Russell when she wants her shoe cabinets installed
Speaker 1: on the yacht, and which would she was demanding? He used,
Speaker 1: because it was a very big point of contention in
Speaker 1: that major motion picture.
Speaker 2: I would white oak is perfectly beautiful wood. But if
Speaker 2: it's a first time for me, I'm buying birch because
Speaker 2: it's cheaper, and I'm also not interested it would be
Speaker 2: painted anyway, so I don't need the grain in the
Speaker 2: white oak to come out.
Speaker 1: Would you paint your cabinets?
Speaker 3: What color? White? What do you mean?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I would be told what color to
Speaker 2: paint it. I'll tell you that m what going on.
Speaker 3: Everyone's in trouble, Donila Cloud.
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. Donald Trump was at his cabinet meeting today.
Speaker 1: He warned that there would be a transition cost to
Speaker 1: his tariff policies. We'll see, is what he said. When
Speaker 1: asked what is next steps are for China. He went
Speaker 1: on to say, we'd love to be able to work
Speaker 1: a deal. They've really taken advantage of our country for
Speaker 1: a long period of time. Trump said he's resetting the
Speaker 1: table and they had great respect for Shi zimping again.
Speaker 4: There'll be a transition cost and transition problems, but in
Speaker 4: the end it's going to be it's going to be
Speaker 4: a beautiful thing. We're doing again what we should have
Speaker 4: done many years ago. We let him get out of control,
Speaker 4: and we allowed some countries to get very big and
Speaker 4: very rich at our expense and.
Speaker 2: A couple well less than an hour left in the
Speaker 2: day of trading on Wall Street, the Dow has made
Speaker 2: up some of its lost ground, but it's still down
Speaker 2: two and a half percent. It's down over a thousand points.
Speaker 2: Nasdaq is down four percent. S and P five hundred
Speaker 2: is also down three and a half percent. An American
Speaker 2: Russian dual citizen, Senya Carolina has been released from a
Speaker 2: Russian prison in an overnight prison their exchange. This came
Speaker 2: from an announcement from Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The
Speaker 2: exchange took place overnight in Abu Dhabi. The lawyer said
Speaker 2: that she had been released. The Secretary of State confirmed
Speaker 2: the exchange in a tweet, saying Senya Caroline is on
Speaker 2: a plane back home to the US. She was wrongfully
Speaker 2: detained by Russia for over a year and that President
Speaker 2: Trump secured her release.
Speaker 1: Wild story locally store employee run over killed my suspected
Speaker 1: shoplifter in South el MONI. He tried to stop the robbery.
Speaker 1: This was outside Grant discount store. The victim's brother owns
Speaker 1: that the brother helps out at the store. Apparently, the
Speaker 1: suspect reportedly asked the victim for a box of masks
Speaker 1: worth ten dollars and then walked without paying it walked
Speaker 1: out without paying. The brothers followed the suspect and the
Speaker 1: parking lot physical altercation takes place. Two other guys get
Speaker 1: out of the car. One of them punches the brother
Speaker 1: in the head. He holds his head and goes down.
Speaker 1: Three men get back from the car and run him over.
Speaker 2: And the brother watched the whole thing. Said the body
Speaker 2: was under the car was turning all the way from
Speaker 2: the front tire to the back tire. I said, I
Speaker 2: don't know why this happened. Honestly, I was there at
Speaker 2: the last minute of his life. I saw his face,
Speaker 2: I saw his eyes.
Speaker 3: What's the deal?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not over a ten dollars box of masks,
Speaker 1: is it? That's awful?
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: There's also a strange twist to what was already a
Speaker 2: very strange situation. Jillian Lauren is the author and wife
Speaker 2: of the bassist for Weezer, Scott Schreiner. Jillian was shot
Speaker 2: and injured by the LAPD and then arrested on suspicion
Speaker 2: of attempted murder. What if you remember this whole story.
Speaker 2: LAPD was helping the CHP because the CHP had chased
Speaker 2: three suspects from a misdemeanor hit and run. This ended
Speaker 2: in a chase where a guy gets out of the car.
Speaker 2: He strips down to his underwear and pretends to be
Speaker 2: a homeowner by watering stuff in a backyard and they're
Speaker 2: like dipping in the pool so that if anybody found him,
Speaker 2: he'd go, what are.
Speaker 3: You talking about? Is my house or whatever it is?
Speaker 2: So Lauren was not among the suspects and everything, but
Speaker 2: while pursuing one of the suspects who was running through backyards,
Speaker 2: police came upon Lauren in the front yard of her.
Speaker 3: Neighboring house holding a handgun.
Speaker 2: You know why because she probably saw that they were
Speaker 2: chasing somebody and wanted to protect her house and property.
Speaker 2: And I believe kids home at the time. Here's where
Speaker 2: it gets crazy. They order her several times. The LAPD
Speaker 2: orders her several times to drop the gun. She refused,
Speaker 2: she allegedly pointed it at them. They did not whether
Speaker 2: say whether she fired the gun, but she was hit
Speaker 2: by police gunfire and then went back into the home.
Speaker 2: They eventually were able to take her into custody and
Speaker 2: take her to a hospital.
Speaker 3: They did recover a nine millimeter.
Speaker 2: Weezer is scheduled to play Coachella this weekend.
Speaker 1: April's a full pink moon will rise as a micro
Speaker 1: moon this weekend, the smallest full moon of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: Pink moon, pink moon, micro moon. Hm, it's because April's
Speaker 1: full moon occurs when the moon is furthest from the
Speaker 1: Earth obviously in its orbit, making it appear slightly smaller
Speaker 1: and dimmer than usual.
Speaker 3: Micro Yeah, microt it.
Speaker 1: Baby moon, although that's taken on new significant.
Speaker 2: Are we going to do our goodbye payphone story before
Speaker 2: the before the end of the day today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll do it because we were going to get
Speaker 1: to it yesterday and then we didn't, and we're going
Speaker 1: to get today and we didn't and we're going to
Speaker 1: do it excellent before Strange Science.
Speaker 2: We're going to do our our small bus shadow coming
Speaker 2: up next though, in one of those couple of.
Speaker 6: Weeks you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
Speaker 6: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Stocks have been giving up a lot of the games
Speaker 2: that they made yesterday, but have been recovering in this
Speaker 2: last hour of trading. The Dow is down about eight
Speaker 2: hundred and fourteen points right now, but it was down
Speaker 2: a couple thousand earlier, so it's down two percent. S
Speaker 2: and P five hundred down two point eight percent. Nasdaq
Speaker 2: is down three point eight percent.
Speaker 1: Tarrange restaurant. Restaurant is what we are talking about for
Speaker 1: our small business shout out today. Tarrange restaurant that is
Speaker 1: on Limburg Drive in Los Angeles. Where is Lyndbrook Drive
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles? NOAs we are very.
Speaker 7: Close to Wheelshare okay and Westwood right yea, right by
Speaker 7: Hammer Museum.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay. So nas is joining us now, nas paraje.
Speaker 3: Like three times Hersha.
Speaker 1: You're listening to me, practiced.
Speaker 3: I was listening to her when she said it, thank you.
Speaker 1: For joining us. You all specialized in Persian food and
Speaker 1: this looks fantastic. Kebobs and the like. I was just
Speaker 1: telling you off the air. I have read so many
Speaker 1: articles that say Mediterranean diet is the way to go
Speaker 1: in terms of, as Richie would put it, getting ready
Speaker 1: for summer. And that is what you specialize in. Hearing
Speaker 1: the filet mignon, kebobs, the lamb, kebobs, chicken, all of that,
Speaker 1: just to scratch the surface of what your specialties are.
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, yes, So first of all, thank you so
Speaker 7: much for inviting me. It's an honor to be here. Honestly,
Speaker 7: I've been a huge fan of yours for years. You're
Speaker 7: one of the reasons that my English is kind of better.
Speaker 2: That's the greatest compliment I think that that that we
Speaker 2: could receive.
Speaker 8: Thank you very much.
Speaker 3: We don't speak for.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 7: Yes, actually, and I was quite pleased to see these
Speaker 7: articles that is coming in the last four to five
Speaker 7: years that Mediterranean diet is actually one of the best
Speaker 7: diets to Lord the heart disease, lord of cancer, because honestly,
Speaker 7: it is very very clean food. We don't have anything
Speaker 7: deep fried, we don't have anything preserved, We don't use
Speaker 7: any artificial ingredients in our food. It is basically everything
Speaker 7: is steamed or it is grilled, and we do a
Speaker 7: lot of olive oil. My brother and I started this
Speaker 7: restaurant when I was twenty four years old, about a year.
Speaker 8: And a half when we moved to the US. Early
Speaker 8: didn't know much.
Speaker 7: He has this amazing, brilliant business mind and I love
Speaker 7: cooking and hosting, and restaurant was the.
Speaker 1: Way to go.
Speaker 7: So if you started in Torrance, it was a small,
Speaker 7: small restaurant in a corner of Applaza Ride in front
Speaker 7: of my community college and Longest story show. Four years later,
Speaker 7: we wanted to do something a little bit bigger and better,
Speaker 7: and we have started in Westwood Village in the heart
Speaker 7: of Persian community. As a lot of people call it
Speaker 7: Teherandeles and honestly, so many persons there. If I lived
Speaker 7: in Westwood, I couldn't talk English.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guarantee that.
Speaker 1: So I bet that that that's very welcome there. Like
Speaker 1: I mean, you must be very busy.
Speaker 8: It is very busy.
Speaker 7: However, there's a lot of competition because there's like a
Speaker 7: zillion Persian restaurants to choose from. So we had to
Speaker 7: find a way to stand out. So we made it
Speaker 7: very modern, and we made everything that we have from
Speaker 7: a scratch.
Speaker 8: We don't have a freezer in the restaurant.
Speaker 3: And that's gotta be a lot of turnover then for supply.
Speaker 8: For it is we go shopping four times a week.
Speaker 8: But it worth it, It worth it. Yeah, you can. You
Speaker 8: can rush food.
Speaker 7: It is fresh. This is what we have at home.
Speaker 7: I've been eating our food for nine years and I
Speaker 7: don't get tired of it. So I think it's a
Speaker 7: pretty good time, right.
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't get tired of it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you and your brother run the place. This is
Speaker 1: something that you have talked about for a long time,
Speaker 1: and your parents did. They grew up, grew up cooking, and.
Speaker 7: My mom is a fantastic cook, but she was a teacher.
Speaker 7: My dad was a banker. So we had no idea
Speaker 7: how to run a business. But we started from this
Speaker 7: small restaurant and lit by little will learned from the curves,
Speaker 7: from the things we were in a points that we
Speaker 7: were running out of chicken would run to raups, buy chicken,
Speaker 7: bring it back, cook it and sell it and we
Speaker 7: would deliver the food ourselves. So it was crazy journey.
Speaker 7: We had to like clean everything, and it was a
Speaker 7: small restaurant business. But with all the obstacles, I think
Speaker 7: everything you learn it just makes you better and it's
Speaker 7: stronger and a little bit more resilience.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so what do they think? What do your parents
Speaker 1: think about it?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 8: They love it.
Speaker 7: My mom she's still a little bit iffy about me
Speaker 7: not becoming a doctor, but I think.
Speaker 1: Too.
Speaker 7: But sometimes when I complained that I'm a little tray,
Speaker 7: She's like, do you want to go and just go meeting?
Speaker 7: I'm like, Mom, I got my master's from Berkeley, You're fine, And.
Speaker 8: She's like, just just just putting your thought out there.
Speaker 1: And your brother's kind of doing banking, I mean with
Speaker 1: the business.
Speaker 7: He has this brilliant mind of business and financial which
Speaker 7: I don't.
Speaker 8: I just cook and I love it.
Speaker 7: But yeah, he has this amazing, you know, brilliant mind
Speaker 7: of business ownership, getting things together, having finding shortcuts, bringing
Speaker 7: people together, dealing with the backstaff, which I think it's
Speaker 7: a great.
Speaker 1: Good combination for the both of you.
Speaker 3: Do you fight We do not.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 8: Yes, you're very very close family, very.
Speaker 3: Close, and that almost means sometimes that means that you
Speaker 3: fight more.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but no, because he does his own thing and
Speaker 7: I do my own thing and sometimes just like talk
Speaker 7: it out. And every every time that we cannot talk
Speaker 7: something out, it's always my Mom and Dad are like stopping.
Speaker 2: You brought us some food for us to check out,
Speaker 2: and I'm most amazed at the three different kinds of
Speaker 2: rice that you have on here.
Speaker 3: Could you explain what they are?
Speaker 8: Of course.
Speaker 7: So the first one is the white rice. It is
Speaker 7: a buzz mudy rice. The way that we cook our
Speaker 7: right as Persians, it's a little bit different than other rices.
Speaker 7: We soak our rice overnight and it takes about forty
Speaker 7: minutes for it to be made, so the cook times
Speaker 7: that are a bit less, but the way that it
Speaker 7: is all separated grain from grain, it is a little
Speaker 7: different than, for example, the Asian rices that we do have.
Speaker 7: They're a little bit more sticky. So that one is
Speaker 7: the normal rice. The other rice that you have is
Speaker 7: barbary rice in Farci.
Speaker 8: It is the risk.
Speaker 7: It is in a family the same family as gojiberries,
Speaker 7: but a little bit more.
Speaker 3: Tara's very it's it's sweet with that Those are.
Speaker 8: Fun, yes, what's called barberries barbaries? Yes.
Speaker 7: And the other one is fa babin and deal rice,
Speaker 7: another Persian favorite.
Speaker 8: It is faba bean deal.
Speaker 7: It goes really nice with chicken and laud which I
Speaker 7: had a little bit for you and when it comes
Speaker 7: to our food, we are specialized in meat and kebobs.
Speaker 7: So just to get a little bit clear thinking on
Speaker 7: Persian kebobs, every single go meat that is grilled over
Speaker 7: open fire is a kabop. But we have different types
Speaker 7: of So we have ground beef which is called kooby dee.
Speaker 7: We have the chanky chicken, which is called ju ja kabob.
Speaker 7: We have the lamb chops we call them chish lake.
Speaker 7: We have the ground.
Speaker 8: Beef that's kooby dee.
Speaker 7: So these are all types of Every meat that you
Speaker 7: grill over open fire is called the kabab.
Speaker 2: Do you get you obviously have takeout, I mean that's
Speaker 2: available through through the website.
Speaker 3: We use Tage Restaurant dot com.
Speaker 1: By the way, chicken, it's really tender.
Speaker 7: That is our special dish, thank you. It's marinated in
Speaker 7: it's a special marination for about twenty seven hours.
Speaker 8: And it's white meat because I don't like dark.
Speaker 3: That is, because you don't like it.
Speaker 2: You guys are over on Lindbrook Drive over in the
Speaker 2: in the Westwood Village area. Turange Restaurant dot com on
Speaker 2: Instagram as well Tarange Underscore Restaurant, Underscore La Nods thanks

Speaker 7: thank you so much for having me over. I cannot
Speaker 7: wait to have you guys in the restaurant.
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you so much.
Speaker 2: Our good bye payphone story when we come back.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: AM six forty Robin.
Speaker 1: What is that tattoo on your shoulder?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 3: Is that the Queen of Hearts? Yes?
Speaker 1: Sure is Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland. Yes.
Speaker 1: Is it her face? Yes, that's exciting.
Speaker 9: Yes, my wife kisses it every time.
Speaker 1: Oh really, she loves her. Is that why you got it?
Speaker 1: Because she loves it?
Speaker 9: So I actually got the years before I met her.
Speaker 1: Oh and why did you get it? You just always
Speaker 1: love the Queen Hearts.
Speaker 9: It's actually a full Alice Wonderland sleeve.
Speaker 1: Oh so everybody's represented. Is there a tea cup like.
Speaker 9: The Little mad Hatter?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 9: Actually no, I got the Mad Hatter, the Chessure, the
Speaker 9: absolom Alice, but I didn't get the other queen. I
Speaker 9: actually don't like her.
Speaker 3: We want that one.
Speaker 1: So no tea cup is what I'm hearing.
Speaker 3: No, okay, well we can always.
Speaker 1: That's my favorite part of going to Alice in Wonderland.
Speaker 1: What would you get on your shoulder? We've already discussed
Speaker 1: this many times. We have yeah, on your.
Speaker 2: Shoulder, on my shoulder we have talked about, I mean
Speaker 2: on my deltoid where she's got her Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 2: like that spot. Uh, it's good spot, probably coveted spot,
Speaker 2: Superman shield, something like that.
Speaker 1: A Superman shield, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, I would get I would go back and
Speaker 2: somewhere I would find like the ultrasound print out for
Speaker 2: my kids, and I would get those tattooed on my
Speaker 2: one on each shoulder.
Speaker 3: And people would be like, what is that? And I
Speaker 3: would say, it's my kids.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're not allowed to go to the tatue parlor.
Speaker 1: I decided that is vetoed algebra for four hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: Thankfully moved on.
Speaker 1: Go alga a cube or to excuse me, two cube
Speaker 1: number is to raise it to this power.
Speaker 3: What is the third?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's for idiots, alzebra for idiots?
Speaker 2: Okay, how many payphones? Take a whild guess? Have you
Speaker 2: read the whole thing?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 2: How many payphones do you think exist within California as
Speaker 2: of March? As of March, California Public Utilities Commission has
Speaker 2: a number for how many working payphones there are in California.
Speaker 1: Uh, one thousand, two hundred and.
Speaker 2: Twelve, not horrible guests, two thousand, five hundred and some change.
Speaker 2: A decade ago there were twenty seven thousand, and that
Speaker 2: was a decade ago when everybody still had an iPhone.
Speaker 1: That's funny you say that because the last payphone I saw,
Speaker 1: I took a picture of it with my iPhone.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I thought, what a weird it is? Weird?
Speaker 3: In La City, there's about one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 2: In fact, there are probably more Starbucks restaurants in La
Speaker 2: than there are payphones in La but there is a
Speaker 2: Alexis Wood and her partner Adam Treanell have gone looking
Speaker 2: for those working payphones throughout the city of La and
Speaker 2: they have been putting stickers on them that invite people
Speaker 2: to make a free call to a recorded line to
Speaker 2: say goodbye. Now, they don't specify who they want people
Speaker 2: to say goodbye to.
Speaker 3: They just wanted to say goodbye.
Speaker 2: So there is, for example, people who call and are
Speaker 2: saying goodbye to loved ones or saying goodbye to payphones
Speaker 2: or whatever. But they have collected a bunch of these
Speaker 2: recordings and then put them up on an Instagram account
Speaker 2: for people to hear what other people are saying goodbye to.
Speaker 2: And it's a really I don't know, it's a creative
Speaker 2: way to look at the way we as human beings
Speaker 2: search for some sort of belonging to a larger group.
Speaker 5: I'm really happy this payphone still here. My grandfather would
Speaker 5: come by and make us call some payphones, despite owning
Speaker 5: us cell phone himself, because he didn't know how to
Speaker 5: use it, and he always had fifty cents, so he
Speaker 5: would call us from payphones, and we kind of trained
Speaker 5: ourselves to always pick up that number or any payphone number.
Speaker 5: And now I do the same thing, and my mom
Speaker 5: just doing a lawyer. But paypalons are getting putter and
Speaker 5: far between. So I just gave my mom one final
Speaker 5: call from a payplon probably who knows to go come
Speaker 5: back anyway? Thank you.
Speaker 2: There's another guy left a message to say goodbye to
Speaker 2: his former self.
Speaker 10: Hello, goodbye, line. I want to say goodbye to my
Speaker 10: old self. I used to be very fat. I used
Speaker 10: to not care about myself, to not take care of myself.
Speaker 10: Then now I'm on my way to my first bodybuilding
Speaker 10: show in July.
Speaker 3: So that's so cool.
Speaker 10: That makes me very excited. And I want to say
Speaker 10: goodbye to my old self on this last payphone here
Speaker 10: in ought to be the California. That is so yeah, goodbye.
Speaker 1: It has been so many years since I've heard someone
Speaker 1: on a payphone. That's exactly what it sounded like all
Speaker 1: those years ago. It's a distinct, bad connection.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it probably has to do simply with the
Speaker 2: amount of damage that one of those handsets takes right
Speaker 2: the little condenser, mic.
Speaker 1: I mean, and you would pick up a payphone and
Speaker 1: not even think about sanitizing it, or who or how
Speaker 1: many people you is that thing? And their mouth was
Speaker 1: that close to the Oh my gosh, you didn't even
Speaker 1: think about it, didn't even cross your mind.
Speaker 2: Do you have any idea where there's a payphone, like
Speaker 2: I mean around here, I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't. I can't even think of where.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 3: I've seen the stands for them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw what The last one I saw was
Speaker 1: at Yosemite and I took a picture of it.
Speaker 2: What they are trying to do, They want to encourage
Speaker 2: people to use this goodbye line they're calling it.
Speaker 3: It's about a year old. It's finding a pretty broad audience.
Speaker 2: And they said it's the payphone calls that hold the
Speaker 2: special place in their hearts. Adam says, I'm not trying
Speaker 2: to draw any science around it, but it does seem
Speaker 2: like people who go to payphones are more in the
Speaker 2: moment that the cell phone calls tend to be a
Speaker 2: bit longer and a little bit more considered. But you
Speaker 2: can use a payphone in a different way than you
Speaker 2: use a cell phone. It's not in your pocket, it's
Speaker 2: not connected to a camera.
Speaker 1: You use it to buy drugs exactly.
Speaker 2: But you go and do this goodbye in a place
Speaker 2: that's different from where you do most of your business.
Speaker 1: Janet Yellen, she got some sort of glow up makeover
Speaker 1: or something, some good lighting. She got like that lighting
Speaker 1: that's on Ritchie's phone.
Speaker 2: Strange Science. Will we come back? The Hidden Flaws of cryonics.
Speaker 1: Wait, we got to get this center stage ready for
Speaker 1: this lady.
Speaker 3: Janet Yellen.
Speaker 1: Yes she does not need the center.
Speaker 3: Yes she does.
Speaker 1: She looks pretty in that blue A little hip, little
Speaker 1: hip throw right there?
Speaker 3: Did you see it? Hip throw?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I don't want to know. I don't want to know
Speaker 3: what a Janet Yellen hip throw is.
Speaker 1: Strange Science. When we come back.
Speaker 6: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 6: Am sixty.
Speaker 2: Very weird story that apparently a New York Police Department
Speaker 2: helicopter has crashed into the Hudson River there in New
Speaker 2: York City if you know where it is, it's or
Speaker 2: Peer forty. A couple dozen boats out there, New York
Speaker 2: City Fire and New York City Police Department, Harbor Patrol.
Speaker 3: Everybody's out there.
Speaker 2: And there was an image earlier taken from the Citizen
Speaker 2: app that showed the helicopter upside down on the water.
Speaker 2: All you could see with the landing skids, So not
Speaker 2: clear exactly what happened or if there were any survivors.
Speaker 1: FDNY so at least four people were aboard, said helicopter.
Speaker 1: This is near pure forty as well. If you know
Speaker 1: where the area is.
Speaker 3: It's time for strange science.
Speaker 6: Strange sayence, it's like weird science, but strange.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: Ted Williams is one of those people who supposedly got
Speaker 2: frozen after they died so that eventually you could bring
Speaker 2: back Walt Disney. I think there was a rumor that
Speaker 2: Walter was also cryogenically preserved. The problem is it's not
Speaker 2: as harmless as you might think.
Speaker 1: Who thought it was harmless?
Speaker 2: Well, I think the image of you can freeze meat
Speaker 2: and then bring it back out and cook that steak
Speaker 2: and it still tastes like steak for the most part
Speaker 2: is the leading to the false assumptions that that doing
Speaker 2: that to the human body is an okay idea.
Speaker 1: Britney Spears signed up for this in twenty fifteen.
Speaker 3: Is that what's wrong with her?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 2: Oh honey, it's rosen and thowed many times. The human
Speaker 2: body is mostly water. Water makes up the bulk of
Speaker 2: the vital fluids that keep ourselves and our tissues alive
Speaker 2: and functional. What happens when you freeze water?
Speaker 10: Though?
Speaker 3: It expands? And what will you say? Like that?
Speaker 2: Did you know the answer to that when I say,
Speaker 2: what happens when you freeze water?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: What it expands?
Speaker 3: How did you know that?
Speaker 1: Everybody knows that.
Speaker 3: It turns to ice.
Speaker 2: The problem is if living cells are suddenly filled with
Speaker 2: spiky ice. I mean because of the crystals that are formed,
Speaker 2: that can cause a lot of damage.
Speaker 1: It does damage to the meat. We've talked to Neil
Speaker 1: about this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does damage to the meat. It does damage to.
Speaker 2: Or fruit or something like that. It can make it
Speaker 2: all mushy. Yeah, and if the meat is your brain.
Speaker 2: The other thing is because if you, like Ted Williams,
Speaker 2: want your head preserved but not the rest of your body,
Speaker 2: assuming that when they can thaw your head, they'd be
Speaker 2: also capable of attaching another body to you, a donor
Speaker 2: body that if you believe the technology is going to
Speaker 2: be going that far, there is a concern because the
Speaker 2: brain itself is likely going to be the biggest challenge
Speaker 2: of all neurons. Of course, the cells that form the
Speaker 2: biological basis of what you are significantly more intricate and
Speaker 2: vulnerable than any other type of cell. Neurons and brain
Speaker 2: cells are the most metabolically demanding. They consume about a
Speaker 2: quarter of your available energy just to stay alive. I'm
Speaker 2: a frozen body, doesn't have any available energy, So how
Speaker 2: does it stay alive? Can it just shut down and
Speaker 2: then be restarted? They just don't know.
Speaker 1: Now, Ted Williams, you bring him back, what are you expecting?
Speaker 1: You're expecting him to go six for eight in a doubleheader.
Speaker 2: Well, you froze him after he'd already gone through all
Speaker 2: of the horrible times in his life.
Speaker 3: You froze him at the end, right right.
Speaker 1: You didn't freeze him in nineteen forty.
Speaker 2: One, and even listen in all honestly, well, I won't
Speaker 2: use her name, but you freeze a pop star when
Speaker 2: she's forty seven years old and not when she's twenty
Speaker 2: seven years old.
Speaker 1: I appreciated that, I really did. I appreciated you extending
Speaker 1: that you were going to say forty five, and you
Speaker 1: extended a couple of years because you know the end
Speaker 1: days are nigh, and I appreciated that.
Speaker 3: Your end days are nice.
Speaker 1: Appreciated that. I don't know how old was Ted Williams
Speaker 1: when he died. He's in his seventies, wasn't he Let's
Speaker 1: see here, let's see he was eighty three.
Speaker 2: Oh, well, there're eighty three. Are you gonna You're gonna
Speaker 2: wake up an eighty three year old guy? And what
Speaker 2: give him a bat?
Speaker 1: Inverness, Florida. There's an Inverness, Florida. There's an Inverness, California.
Speaker 1: There's an Inverness, Scotland. There's one in Australia, very popular place. Hey,
Speaker 1: pink moon, the full pink moon, by the way, Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you're expecting it to be pink, don't. Do You
Speaker 1: want to know why it's named the pink moon?
Speaker 3: Please tell me.
Speaker 1: It goes back to our Native American friends. By the way,
Speaker 1: there was a land announcement before my yoga class in
Speaker 1: Pasadena this week.
Speaker 3: A land acknowledgement.
Speaker 1: Really yeah, And the instructor nailed it. And it was
Speaker 1: one of those Native American tribal names that it's got
Speaker 1: like five or six names, like the former president of Mexico,
Speaker 1: and she nailed it. She nailed each one of those names.
Speaker 1: I could not do that.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 1: It was remarkable. Anyway. The Native Americans named this moon
Speaker 1: for the first wildflyer of wild flowers to bloom in
Speaker 1: early spring in North America. Moss pink is what it's
Speaker 1: called the creeping.
Speaker 3: Fullocks that's why people come here, Is that right?
Speaker 2: I think so? That and warnings against freezing your body?
Speaker 1: Yeah, what are you doing?
Speaker 3: I know what's going to go on the other going
Speaker 3: on there?
Speaker 1: So I kind of like missed the whole Ted Williams
Speaker 1: story through time. Is this something he talked about at
Speaker 1: length when he was alive?
Speaker 3: I don't know. Oh, I just know that he's frozen.
Speaker 1: His head's frozen separately from his body as well. And
Speaker 1: then there was an ESPN report in two thousand and
Speaker 1: nine that his body was mistreated in that freezer lab.
Speaker 1: What do you think they're doing to Ted Williams's body?
Speaker 1: I think this is something we explore tomorrow maybe or
Speaker 1: all next week. I all next.
Speaker 3: Week, John, the Cobel Show is coming up next. We'll
Speaker 3: see you tomorrow. Stay drive everybody Classics. You've been listening
Speaker 3: to The Gary and Shannon Show.
