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: Somebody liked your Chiefs rand in Orange County.
Speaker 3: I just have to say to Shannon, after your rant
Speaker 3: about the Chiefs jaded party of one your tables.
Speaker 4: Ready, I'm not jaded. It's obvious.
Speaker 1: Just anybody who's watched the Chiefs this season knows that
Speaker 1: they are the worst undefeated team to watch.
Speaker 4: It's awful.
Speaker 1: I mean, here's the thing. I don't hate Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1: I don't hate Tom Brady. By the way, Tom Brady
Speaker 1: did a really great job. It's the first time I
Speaker 1: really listened to an entire game that he called Niners Chiefs.
Speaker 4: He was really good.
Speaker 1: He was entertaining, he was informative, he wasn't too egotistical.
Speaker 4: I loved it.
Speaker 1: Well, I hate Tom Brady, don't hate Patrick Mahomes. I
Speaker 1: think they're great at what they do. Patrick Mahomes turning
Speaker 1: that no play into a thirty three yard run incredible.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're watching history or watching magic, and I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna put that down. I'm just saying, from top
Speaker 1: to bottom, they are not a very well put together
Speaker 1: team to show that six.
Speaker 5: And zero record, which is ironic because it was last
Speaker 5: year where they got off to such an awful start
Speaker 5: but were better than their record was exactly Yeah, a
Speaker 5: couple of stories that were following people with private health
Speaker 5: insurance would be able to pick up over the counter
Speaker 5: methods of birth control like condoms and morning after pills, etc.
Speaker 5: For under a new rule the White House proposed today
Speaker 5: that without a doctor's prescription, women may pay as much
Speaker 5: as fifty bucks for morning after pills, and women who
Speaker 5: delay buying the pill in order to get to a
Speaker 5: doctor's prescription could jeopardize the purpose of it in the
Speaker 5: first place. So this new rule from the White House
Speaker 5: would also require insurers to bear the cost of an
Speaker 5: O pill, the only FDA approved over the counter birth
Speaker 5: control pill.
Speaker 4: It's time for swamp watch.
Speaker 1: Swamp is horrible.
Speaker 2: Government doesn't work. Man, make this like a reality TV show.
Speaker 1: Wasn't bad news?
Speaker 2: Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C.
Speaker 4: Hey Joe, a town all.
Speaker 3: Too clearly built on a swamp and in so many
Speaker 3: ways still a swamp.
Speaker 2: I have a bunch of malarkey.
Speaker 4: Nobody said drained the swamp.
Speaker 2: I said, Oh, that's so gosh.
Speaker 5: You know the thing, I think the image from the
Speaker 5: weekend has got to be Donald Trump in a McDonald's apron,
Speaker 5: are you. I mean, I can see they shut down
Speaker 5: that that McDonald's franchise until four o'clock in the afternoon
Speaker 5: yesterday so that he could he could man the friar
Speaker 5: and work the drive through.
Speaker 1: He has a little bit of an obsession when it
Speaker 1: comes to McDonald's. I mean it's been reported before, we
Speaker 1: talked about it earlier. He likes his McDonald's. He had
Speaker 1: McDonald's delivered to the White House. Jared crish I wrote
Speaker 1: in his memoir that he knew Trump was better from
Speaker 1: COVID when he had his big mac and fish filet
Speaker 1: and fries and shake delivered, that he knew he was
Speaker 1: on the mend.
Speaker 4: This is all because Kamala Harris I guess purported to.
Speaker 1: Work at a McDonald's in nineteen eighty three. She's very
Speaker 1: big with advertising that she grew up in the middle
Speaker 1: class and that she worked at McDonald's during a summer
Speaker 1: in college, that she manned the friar and other stations
Speaker 1: there at the McDonald's.
Speaker 4: Well, apparently there's no record of it.
Speaker 1: There's no pay stubs, there's no record of for I
Speaker 1: don't know how I would prove that I worked at
Speaker 1: a deli for four years, five years through high school
Speaker 1: and college. It doesn't exist anymore. I certainly don't have
Speaker 1: a pay stub from nineteen ninety seven. You know, how
Speaker 1: do you prove that kind of work record. I don't know,
Speaker 1: save for maybe like a picture of you behind the counter,
Speaker 1: But I don't know if.
Speaker 4: You'd ever take that picture. It's hard to prove.
Speaker 1: But anyway, because there's no proof, this is one of
Speaker 1: the hills that the campaign, the Trump campaign, is dying on,
Speaker 1: and so they and it was a fun stunt having
Speaker 1: somebody who loves McDonald's, loves business, American business, go and
Speaker 1: work the drive through for fifteen minutes. He seemed likable
Speaker 1: in that video with the French fries and the more
Speaker 1: likable moments he can have and not the name calling,
Speaker 1: if he just stuck to being the way he was
Speaker 1: with John Cobalt in that interview, of just being a
Speaker 1: nice guy, human like two dudes, just talking the way
Speaker 1: he's talking to the normal everyday people in the drive
Speaker 1: through line. That's the foot he should lead with. In
Speaker 1: my opinion, you know, you put that next to JD.
Speaker 1: Vance's colossal failure of a trip to the donut shop
Speaker 1: where he didn't seem like he could talk to real people.
Speaker 1: And maybe that's because he's an academic and an elite.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's just not good with talking to strangers. But
Speaker 1: Trump is Why wouldn't you lead.
Speaker 2: With that talking to strangers?
Speaker 5: Well, the Harris campaign came out and said that this
Speaker 5: is exactly what next another Trump presidency would be, which
Speaker 5: is him exploiting working people for his own gain. Now
Speaker 5: the what's his name Joseph Costello, spokesman for the Harris campaign,
Speaker 5: Trump doesn't understand what it's like to work for a living,
Speaker 5: no matter how many staged photo ops he does, and
Speaker 5: his entire second term plan is to give himself, his
Speaker 5: wealthy buddies and giant corporations another massive tax cut.
Speaker 1: It's it's true, but then you sound like you're pooh
Speaker 1: poohing what was a nice little moment of somebody out
Speaker 1: in the community.
Speaker 5: They're not gonna he's They would never give him credit
Speaker 5: for making a good political choice.
Speaker 1: But that way to say there's a way to say,
Speaker 1: like something clever about him serving fries or something. I
Speaker 1: don't know, there's a way to not sound like you're
Speaker 1: just crapping on everything.
Speaker 5: Just but look at the imagery that they've been trying
Speaker 5: to get Trump to use. Him sticking his head out
Speaker 5: of a drive through window, waring a McDonald's apron is
Speaker 5: very America.
Speaker 2: It just is.
Speaker 5: That's I mean, that's it is him at a Pittsburgh
Speaker 5: Steelers game last night. It's a very and that kind
Speaker 5: of imagery I think goes pretty far when you're trying
Speaker 5: if you are one of the two percent or whatever
Speaker 5: who's undecided.
Speaker 4: It does.
Speaker 1: Like we've talked about people want humans in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: you want your politicians to speak plainly to you. You
Speaker 1: want them to be relatable, You want them to not
Speaker 1: talk down to you. Well, what says I'm just like you,
Speaker 1: even though we know he's not just like us? But
Speaker 1: what says that? And it's the Steelers game and it's
Speaker 1: the McDonald's.
Speaker 2: And you want him to talk plainly but not too plain.
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris that you've had enough that you just can't
Speaker 3: take it anymore. We can't stand you, your ash vice president.
Speaker 1: That is awful, Like again, why would you Why would
Speaker 1: you let that side of you have a microphone?
Speaker 2: That's he's such an indidate.
Speaker 1: Like when they let Antonio Brown have an open mic
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Who've signed off on that? That could
Speaker 1: have gone sideways real quick. So I told you they
Speaker 1: had like a bunch of high school students here and
Speaker 1: they did some sort of assembly, national anthem, the whole bit.
Speaker 4: Now they haven't broken up into four groups.
Speaker 1: And the group that is in the section right below
Speaker 1: the radio booth. It's like a motivational talk and I'm
Speaker 1: getting some free therapy right now. They're going over this book.
Speaker 1: It's called the Energy Bus. Ten Rules to fuel your life,
Speaker 1: work and team with positive energy. And it's like all
Speaker 1: this Tony Robbins stuff. Oh wow, it's like you're the
Speaker 1: driver of your own bus.
Speaker 2: They're doing this on game day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's it's just kind of I guess
Speaker 1: it would be really cool if you're a high school
Speaker 1: student and you have some sort of a workshop or
Speaker 1: assembly at the at the stadium. It'd be pretty cool.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, free therapy. Be man, positive energy.
Speaker 2: Gary.
Speaker 1: It's very important if you if you come across the
Speaker 1: challenges and the adversity in your life that you're certain
Speaker 1: to come across as you're driving your bus, whether it's
Speaker 1: somebody who doesn't like you, bad weather, what have you.
Speaker 1: If you approach that with positive energy, it makes those
Speaker 1: challenges a lot easier. Well, like like in the triathlon,
Speaker 1: you know, you got to look at it positively, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you swim the miles and then you realize it's a
Speaker 1: lot going to be a lot easier to get on
Speaker 1: that bike, and as soon as you get off that bike,
Speaker 1: you note it's going to be your favorite part of
Speaker 1: the run.
Speaker 4: You're going to put in your air posit.
Speaker 5: So no, no, I just did a one hundred miles
Speaker 5: on my bike, and now I got to run a marathon.
Speaker 4: Your positive energy is not happening with your energy.
Speaker 5: Best room out positive the chafing, I listen, you got
Speaker 5: to put gold bond on those babies. Couple things. People
Speaker 5: have been calling and suggesting that this the Social Security
Speaker 5: Administration would know if Kamala Harris worked at McDonald's.
Speaker 1: Okay, nobody's going to take that call, I know.
Speaker 4: Going back to nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm sure those records are I'm sure Social
Speaker 1: Security has everything filed away perfectly.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean they I'm assuming they've kept my employment records.
Speaker 2: No, since I turned eighteen.
Speaker 1: They don't know about you with the stint at the
Speaker 1: Chinese delivery restaurant.
Speaker 5: Before before I was eighteen, or the movie theater and
Speaker 5: the movie theater, or the kennels also under eighteen, and
Speaker 5: all that was under the table. Of course, it was
Speaker 5: well that McDonald's isn't going to be under the table.
Speaker 5: My job was under the table, but again not McDonald's.
Speaker 5: You worked at a sketchy deli.
Speaker 4: It was not sketchy, wonderful place.
Speaker 5: One of the things that has come up today is
Speaker 5: that Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are focusing on battleground states.
Speaker 2: That's all we're going to see them do for the
Speaker 2: next t two weeks.
Speaker 5: It looks like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan have dates with
Speaker 5: Vice President Harris. She's been traveling around with former Congresswoman
Speaker 5: Liz Cheney. Trump is spending his day in North Carolina.
Speaker 5: He's got events, he's got a rally, he's got faith
Speaker 5: leader meeting. Scheduled to be back in North Carolina again
Speaker 5: on Tuesday. And one of the things he did this
Speaker 5: morning was he was talking with first responders and people
Speaker 5: still recovering from Hurricane Helene. The critical portion of who's
Speaker 5: going to choose the next president, will you know, is
Speaker 5: still that sort of gray area of those people who
Speaker 5: claim that they are still undecided. Because this new Washington
Speaker 5: Post poll that came out five thousand registered voters, well
Speaker 5: it's a pretty large sample size. Forty seven percent say
Speaker 5: they will either definitely or probably support Kamala Harris. Forty
Speaker 5: seven percent say they will either definitely or probably support
Speaker 5: Donald Trump. So whatever you know, questions you think are
Speaker 5: going to be answered November fifth, might not be, might
Speaker 5: take several days.
Speaker 1: Tim Walls went on the View to talk about Elon
Speaker 1: Musk's recent pledge to give away millions of dollars to
Speaker 1: registered voters in battleground states.
Speaker 3: That's what you do when you have no plan for
Speaker 3: the public, when you have no economic plan that's going
Speaker 3: to benefit the middle class, when you have no plan
Speaker 3: to protect reproductive rights, when you have no plan to
Speaker 3: address climate change and produce American energy, you go to
Speaker 3: these type of tactics.
Speaker 5: So the plan, the plan from Elon Musk is he
Speaker 5: wanted people to sign a petition that supported express support
Speaker 5: for the First Amendment and the Second Amendment. You could
Speaker 5: only sign that petition if you were in one of
Speaker 5: these battleground states, and you could only sign the petition
Speaker 5: if you were a registered voter. So there are questions
Speaker 5: about whether or not this is actually legal.
Speaker 1: Tim Walls was also asked if his thoughts on Arnold
Speaker 1: Palmer Oh no, and Trump's recent offscript comments about Arnold
Speaker 1: Palmer's genitalia.
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't pull that.
Speaker 1: He said, Well, I'll tell you what he said. You
Speaker 1: just said I'm passing on that one.
Speaker 2: Well, that's smart.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you shouldn't.
Speaker 1: Touch anybody else's genitals, certainly.
Speaker 4: Not especially are no longer with us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Arnold have been gone for nearly a decade.
Speaker 5: Only a big honker, and I refused to say it,
Speaker 5: but when he took showers with the other pros, they
Speaker 5: came out of there.
Speaker 2: They said, Oh my god, that's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever heard a man talk about
Speaker 1: another man's penis.
Speaker 2: Not in such glowing terms, maybe.
Speaker 1: In any term, but I guess I wouldn't be in
Speaker 1: those circles who would tell me.
Speaker 5: Right again, I'll only point out that if it was
Speaker 5: if it was an exceptional thing. That's that might rise
Speaker 5: to the level. But I'm not going to get out
Speaker 5: of a shower and in a gym and go, hey,
Speaker 5: look at those average guys.
Speaker 4: Right, look at your average.
Speaker 2: You could pick a lock with that one.
Speaker 4: I believe you said if it makes an impact.
Speaker 5: Well, listen, you walk down the street every day, right,
Speaker 5: and you run into hundreds, maybe a couple thousand people,
Speaker 5: depending on where you work and what you see. It's
Speaker 5: only the ones that are standouts that are going to
Speaker 5: catch your attention, right, That's what I.
Speaker 1: Just didn't know that men looked at other men's genitalia.
Speaker 5: It's not like it's not like you're looking around to repair.
Speaker 5: But again, if it's if to look at it, if
Speaker 5: you're Arnold Palmer, and it's just unavoidable.
Speaker 4: Right right, I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 5: Hey, we have some wellness suggestions for you, some some
Speaker 5: things that are going on. We are absolutely ruining our
Speaker 5: children and no one is doing anything about it.
Speaker 4: Oh that sounds uplifting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got a story about a cat.
Speaker 2: Is it uplifting?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: That was a joke.
Speaker 1: That was because remember the last cat story. Yes, And
Speaker 1: you were like, why are you talking right now? Why
Speaker 1: is this being brought up?
Speaker 5: Why are you just telling me what the comic strip says?
Speaker 5: Why are you just explaining the YouTube.
Speaker 2: Video to me?
Speaker 4: Gary and Channa?
Speaker 2: Waita, Now you sound angry?
Speaker 4: Oh I do? I don't. I'm not. I'm not angry.
Speaker 2: Are you sure?
Speaker 4: No? This is my happy face?
Speaker 1: That's not It is.
Speaker 2: Rule number seven? What's rule number seven?
Speaker 4: Rule number seven is surround yourself with people who are enthusiastic.
Speaker 4: Yay uh. He loves women's volleyball. And here's why. Oh boy,
Speaker 4: a five game notch.
Speaker 1: They can lose the first two games, they're down in
Speaker 1: the third deciding game, another point gets scored on them,
Speaker 1: and what do they do? They get up off the court,
Speaker 1: they come together.
Speaker 2: Not the greatest sports analogy. This is awful.
Speaker 4: This is awful.
Speaker 6: I'm a delivery driver and when Gary said look at
Speaker 6: that when it can pick a luck, I.
Speaker 2: Almost dropped everything that was hilarious. Good word, guys, keep
Speaker 2: it up. Stolen valor, stolen valor. It's not my joke.
Speaker 2: It was from Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 1: It was the delivery though. For me, I've been hearing
Speaker 1: from people that this is a thing that guys do
Speaker 1: talk about this that it's like a dude thing, because
Speaker 1: dudes are, you know, kind of focused on their their penis.
Speaker 1: I hear from people on the text that Petros does
Speaker 1: this a lot.
Speaker 2: He talks about he doesn't talk about his own.
Speaker 4: I don't know. I haven't heard that show in a while,
Speaker 4: but he did.
Speaker 5: Petros doesn't talk about average. He's not talking about average.
Speaker 5: You're talking about guys that would you know you could
Speaker 5: put them.
Speaker 4: I didn't know that he was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess guys are kind of it's kind of
Speaker 1: like their way of measuring how they measure up in
Speaker 1: this department. So apparently it is something dudes talk about.
Speaker 4: I didn't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know how many listen. Here's the other part
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 4: I mean, I know, not in an I talk, but
Speaker 4: not in you do not.
Speaker 5: I'm not in a world where I'm in a shower
Speaker 5: in public very often.
Speaker 2: It all. I can't remember the last time I took
Speaker 2: a shower in public, right, I'm not.
Speaker 1: That's I mean, I remember the last time seeing a
Speaker 1: bunch of naked women. And it was at after a
Speaker 1: yoga class, and it was a well traveled yoga class.
Speaker 1: A lot of people were in that class and went
Speaker 1: and took a shower after, and a lot of them
Speaker 1: did and they are They were just out and proud
Speaker 1: with their nakedness, the youth.
Speaker 4: And but I didn't.
Speaker 1: There wasn't anything to comment on, like, you know, I
Speaker 1: see the knockers on that girl, like you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like I would never across my mind to
Speaker 1: even have a notable experience.
Speaker 2: There was nothing out of the ordinary.
Speaker 4: There was nothing out of the ordinary.
Speaker 6: Hey, Gary, it's V from West Hollywood.
Speaker 2: Hello. V.
Speaker 6: Why would it be okay for anyone in the public eye,
Speaker 6: especially someone running for the president of the United States,
Speaker 6: to talk about a dead man's private parts.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm speechless, and so.
Speaker 6: Should you be?
Speaker 2: O tell me okay, it's like.
Speaker 6: You're okay with it, Gary, have a great day.
Speaker 5: She reminds me of missus Ramshada Koza, who was my
Speaker 5: first grade teacher, who would yell at me like that too.
Speaker 1: Well, didn't work. Missus Rama Shatakota could have done a
Speaker 1: better job.
Speaker 2: I say, I'm okay with What am I going to do?
Speaker 5: Am I going to change the fact that he said
Speaker 5: that on Saturday to a crowd?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 5: I think it was idiotic for him to say that
Speaker 5: to a crowd of people.
Speaker 4: That's the outrage we were looking for. It is.
Speaker 1: It is weird when you think about the former president
Speaker 1: of the United States and a current candidate for president
Speaker 1: of the United States talking about a dead man's penis
Speaker 1: and the size of it, like that is Asini'm like,
Speaker 1: let's go back, let's hit pause and go in our
Speaker 1: time machines and go back to nineteen ninety eight. Could
Speaker 1: you imagine that in us just laughing it off, we
Speaker 1: would be like, what the hell?
Speaker 4: Who is this guy? This guy is freaking crazy just.
Speaker 1: Talking about any dead person's penis on a public microphone
Speaker 1: address situation, let alone.
Speaker 4: Let alone a candidate for president.
Speaker 1: It is nuts when you think about it, like that's
Speaker 1: how warped we are now is we get on the air,
Speaker 1: we start laughing about this and how it's hard to
Speaker 1: say Arnold Palmer.
Speaker 5: But that somehow I'm endorsing the fact that he did that.
Speaker 5: He did this because I didn't lose my head and
Speaker 5: clutch my pearls.
Speaker 4: I don't know, you sound angry now, I just say it's.
Speaker 5: So frustrating to me that people can't listen. We're we collective.
Speaker 5: We there's three hundred and thirty million people in the
Speaker 5: United States. We've become ridiculous. Yeah, we have lost we
Speaker 5: have lost it. We've completely lost it. I saw a
Speaker 5: very funny sign over the weekend that said, has anybody
Speaker 5: tried to turn off the United States and turn it
Speaker 5: back on again?
Speaker 2: Like that? That's how I feel.
Speaker 5: I feel like we've we've got so many of these
Speaker 5: little like digital leftovers that we need to just reboot
Speaker 5: this thing.
Speaker 1: I feel like your energy bus is struggling right now,
Speaker 1: my energy bus. You might need an oil change on
Speaker 1: your energy bus.
Speaker 2: My energy bus has been running on four flats for
Speaker 2: a while.
Speaker 1: You've got to take care of your bus and v
Speaker 1: a bus that you have.
Speaker 5: I appreciate you calling, but it's not it's not that
Speaker 5: I endorse him saying that.
Speaker 2: I thought it was ridiculous. I thought it was stupid.
Speaker 5: We as a collective society are better than that. I
Speaker 5: know he was trying to be funny, but I don't
Speaker 5: need I don't need my presidential candidate to be funny.
Speaker 2: I want that to have some amount of substance.
Speaker 1: I also think it's a reflex to this whole man
Speaker 1: thing that has taken over the election both campaigns have
Speaker 1: kind of weaponized being a man, right, what does that mean?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris says that ad where it's you know, I'm
Speaker 1: a construction worker and I'm man enough to vote for
Speaker 1: Kamala or what have you. And all these different manly
Speaker 1: men talking about how they're going to vote for her
Speaker 1: and how that that's manly. And I think that that
Speaker 1: piss is off. Piss is off that makes us upset
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and that he wants to reclaim the man card. Okay,
Speaker 1: so he's going so far to the to that goalpost
Speaker 1: that he's talking about another man's large genitals.
Speaker 5: Wait, hold on a second, But then that undercuts it.
Speaker 5: It would be different if he was like, did you
Speaker 5: see the knockers on that woman in the shower after
Speaker 5: the yoga class?
Speaker 2: That would be one thing to exert his madness.
Speaker 5: But talking about the other guy's giant appendage, it's not man.
Speaker 4: I don't I don't know.
Speaker 2: Is it like I can appreciate that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what it is. I think that's what it is.
Speaker 3: Can you tell us about that yoga class again, but.
Speaker 1: This time slower.
Speaker 4: I will say this.
Speaker 1: I was sitting on the bench after the yoga class
Speaker 1: in the locker room or what have you. And I'm
Speaker 1: sitting there and I'm like getting my my shoes on
Speaker 1: or something like that.
Speaker 4: And this girl comes and.
Speaker 1: She puts her foot up on the bench right next
Speaker 1: to where I'm sitting, totally naked, and I was like,
Speaker 1: this is in my space?
Speaker 4: Like this is It was too close? It was too close.
Speaker 1: I did not enjoy that. But anyway, do you want
Speaker 1: your jeopardy question a minute?
Speaker 4: She was very natural.
Speaker 1: All okay, damn you asked for it.
Speaker 2: I didn't.
Speaker 4: Well, then you shouldn't have played that talk back.
Speaker 2: You know me.
Speaker 4: I'm an open book ready for your jeopardy question.
Speaker 1: Yes, I just felt like male genitalia was taking over
Speaker 1: too much of this show. Great judges for two hundred dollars.
Speaker 4: Oh this is good.
Speaker 1: This will this will be a palate cleanser. This biblical
Speaker 1: king judged a child should be split in two.
Speaker 4: He didn't go through with.
Speaker 1: It, However, the biblical king kid the guy that wanted
Speaker 1: to split the baby David Solomon, Oh.
Speaker 4: What hath you rot with your lack of knowledge? Unto
Speaker 4: the Lord?
Speaker 5: What is a what is a baby food pouch? And
Speaker 5: why are we letting our kids do this. We're killing
Speaker 5: them slowly.
Speaker 2: People.
Speaker 1: I don't get any credit for speaking the Bible language.
Speaker 5: You've defiled every other moment of this show. You don't
Speaker 5: get to cleanse yourself just by speaking one Bible language.
Speaker 2: Whatever you just.
Speaker 4: Said, I did not defile the show.
Speaker 2: Okay, you told us about the doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: You asked for it.
Speaker 2: I never.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not there, so I can't get into trouble market.
Speaker 1: The boss is live in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 4: People with private health insurance would be able to pick.
Speaker 5: There was a very sad story out of Texas from
Speaker 5: last night. A helicopter crashed into a radio towers, erupted
Speaker 5: into a fireball, crashed to the ground. Four people, including
Speaker 5: a child, were killed just about eight o'clock last night
Speaker 5: in the Greater East End of Houston. They said it
Speaker 5: was close enough to a local fire station that the
Speaker 5: firefighters heard the crash, and we're obviously the first responders
Speaker 5: that were there, But it was a why it hit
Speaker 5: high enough. Apparently the helicopter hit high enough on the
Speaker 5: tower that the debris field was extensive, which means people
Speaker 5: had remains in their backyards.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, awful.
Speaker 1: All right, so we've got to stop feeding baby food
Speaker 1: to people who are not babies. Well, this is just
Speaker 1: another example of the softening of the American public.
Speaker 5: I want to point something out. We've talked about the
Speaker 5: movie Wally, where they're trying to see if we can
Speaker 5: go back to Earth and because we've completely screwed it
Speaker 5: up and the robots have to go check it out
Speaker 5: for us. The people in Wally, you remember, on that
Speaker 5: big space station that they're in, they just sit there.
Speaker 5: There's like a screen in front of their face.
Speaker 2: That's weird.
Speaker 5: They just eat processed foods all day. That's also weird.
Speaker 5: They don't eat solid food. They get their nutrients from
Speaker 5: this mysterious drink that produced by the company called Buy
Speaker 5: and Large, which is, you know, a point about corporate
Speaker 5: something something. But a lot of people have asked what
Speaker 5: goes into that drink on Wally Because there's no plant,
Speaker 5: there's no cattle there. I mean, where do you get
Speaker 5: the nutrients? This should make you think of Wally when
Speaker 5: we tell you that Purade food pouches are being given
Speaker 5: to children over and over.
Speaker 1: Again, children and in some cases adults. Sales of food
Speaker 1: pouches have increased nine hundred thousand percent since twenty ten,
Speaker 1: overtaking jarred Pures as the predominant baby food on the market.
Speaker 1: But I think the reason that you're seeing that massive
Speaker 1: percentage boost nine hundred thousand is because it's not just
Speaker 1: babies eating this stuff. It's not only just parents that
Speaker 1: are harried and it's a quick snack for their young kids.
Speaker 4: Adults have eaten.
Speaker 5: These things the occasional pouch. According to doctors, the occasional
Speaker 5: pouch food, as awful as that sounds, can be part
Speaker 5: of a healthful diet because it's occasional. But relying on
Speaker 5: these pouches can interfere with nutrition. It can interfere with
Speaker 5: long term food preferences. It can interfere with dental hygiene.
Speaker 5: It can interfere, interfere especially if it's younger baby, younger
Speaker 5: children with speech and language development, and nobody knows what's
Speaker 5: in the pouches. Listen, The La Times talks to a
Speaker 5: woman named Caitlin who stops by Target and puts puade
Speaker 5: food pouches for her three kids in the cart. In
Speaker 5: goes a twenty four pack of unsweetened apple sauce, And
Speaker 5: you think to yourself, Oh.
Speaker 2: Well, it's unsweetened. It must be fine.
Speaker 5: The twenty four pack of the fruit and veggie blend
Speaker 5: unsweetened must be great for a little Johnny. Finally, the
Speaker 5: yogurt pouches for her son's breakfast. She says he'd eat
Speaker 5: six apple sauce pouches to day if I let him.
Speaker 4: Ha ha ha.
Speaker 1: Doctor Stephen Abrams is a professor of pediatrics at the
Speaker 1: University University of Texas Hookham Horns. He says pouches are
Speaker 1: highly processed foods. They serve as a quick snack, but
Speaker 1: they cannot make up most of your toddler's diet.
Speaker 5: There is something to be said about the simple mechanics
Speaker 5: of eating and eating different foods, and when you pure
Speaker 5: something like apples, you don't get the same fiber content,
Speaker 5: the same fiber workings through your body.
Speaker 2: You know, gi tracked, you can't.
Speaker 5: It's easier, I get it, but it's also going to
Speaker 5: cause problems down the line.
Speaker 1: Well, kids are not going to know how to chew.
Speaker 1: It sounds like a very human thing, but some doctors
Speaker 1: are saying that children are so reliant on the smooth,
Speaker 1: sweet taste of these pouches that they've developed food and
Speaker 1: texture aversions they refuse to eat regular fruits or vegetables,
Speaker 1: And he says, in the long run, we're gonna pay
Speaker 1: for it. Like, yes, they're very convenient. No, no glass
Speaker 1: jars that kind of a deal. You can just pop
Speaker 1: them in your diaper bag or your bag or the car,
Speaker 1: or your kid's backpack or what have you. But convenient
Speaker 1: does not always mean good for you. Actually, the converse
Speaker 1: is true.
Speaker 5: Doctor Tanya Altman is a pediatrician over in Calabasis, and
Speaker 5: she says, not all pouches are created equals. Sometimes they
Speaker 5: can be a contributor to a family's nutrition. Those that
Speaker 5: don't have added sugars or salt could even have advantages
Speaker 5: over other processed snacks, et cetera. But getting like you said,
Speaker 5: it's not just as simple as here's a treat, shut
Speaker 5: up and don't bother me, or this, you know, stave
Speaker 5: off your hunger for an hour or two until we
Speaker 5: can get you some actual food.
Speaker 1: Well, and remember who's behind the processed foods and the
Speaker 1: processed foods push it's the tobacco industry, and manufacturers are
Speaker 1: appealing to parents by marketing these pouches as all natural,
Speaker 1: organic containing vegetables, but that does not reflect on what's inside.
Speaker 1: They said that a green pouch advertised as broccoli pear
Speaker 1: might turn out to be more a little more pear more,
Speaker 1: a little more than pear puree, not broccoli.
Speaker 5: And pediatricians will tell you that the purade anything peaes
Speaker 5: BROCCOLI's pears whatever.
Speaker 2: After about after.
Speaker 5: About nine months, you want to get away from the
Speaker 5: baby food stuff. You want to give them the things
Speaker 5: that they have to manipulate with their hands, to put
Speaker 5: in their mouth, to learn to chew, to swallow, to drink,
Speaker 5: I mean all of that.
Speaker 1: I mean that's part of writing on your energy bus,
Speaker 1: and you know, encountering adversity like how do I eat
Speaker 1: these raspberries in my high chair? Oh, make a big
Speaker 1: mess in my face with them till I figure out
Speaker 1: that they go right there in that hole.
Speaker 5: To that end, there's a statistic that I saw today
Speaker 5: the average American can the average American consumes about eighty
Speaker 5: pounds of sugar per year.
Speaker 1: Wow, A lot of times people don't know, you know,
Speaker 1: how much sugar is in whatever they're ingesting' I mean
Speaker 1: fruit is kind of surprising when you think about how
Speaker 1: much sugar's and fruit. I mean it's good. It's good sugar,
Speaker 1: but it's better than eating you know, candy, but still
Speaker 1: a lot of sugar in the.
Speaker 2: Pouch of processed sugar. Sounds good.
Speaker 4: Remember those what are they called pixie sticks?
Speaker 2: Do I?
Speaker 1: And remember not just the little ones with the paper,
Speaker 1: but the ones you'd get at the little league game.
Speaker 1: And they were about, oh, I don't know, two feet long,
Speaker 1: and it was plastic and it was about an inch
Speaker 1: of a diameter of sugar.
Speaker 4: It just straight sugar.
Speaker 2: And the little spoon paddles was also at a.
Speaker 1: Fun dip, fun dip? Yes, is that what you're talking about? Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the whatever you just called it. Oh,
Speaker 1: the pixie sticks? Yes, Oh, it was just the straw full.
Speaker 4: Of straw full of it, the plastic straw.
Speaker 5: No, I'm thinking of the something else. The there was
Speaker 5: a pouch and you dip you, yeah.
Speaker 4: That's the fun dip.
Speaker 1: And there was a different color h pouch was a
Speaker 1: different color of sugar, and then they had the white
Speaker 1: sugar sticks on the end.
Speaker 2: How do we have any teeth left?
Speaker 4: How the hell? This is why I've paid dental bills
Speaker 4: for my whole life. My parents have who signed.
Speaker 1: Off on fun dip like where was the FDA and
Speaker 1: does it still exist?
Speaker 2: Not the way it should?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, here kid mainline sugar and then try
Speaker 1: to go to sleep.
