Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
Speaker 1: demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: Gary and Shannon, I have parakeets.
Speaker 1: That was what you were hearing.
Speaker 3: And one of them flew into my classroom and so we.
Speaker 2: Adopted her, and then we got a couple more. So
Speaker 2: that's what you hear of. Parrokeets. Great bike, it's like
Speaker 2: music in the background.
Speaker 1: That's cool, very cool. I'm ma, she's got three?
Speaker 2: She say three?
Speaker 1: They never stop those.
Speaker 2: I have parakeets.
Speaker 1: That was what you were hearing, and one of them. No,
Speaker 1: she sounds like there's more than there's more than three.
Speaker 2: There's got them, dude.
Speaker 4: I normally don't do talkbacks, but when Gary said hot
Speaker 4: rails just now, I about fell out of my chair.
Speaker 2: I don't say it very often, but when I do,
Speaker 2: I mean it.
Speaker 1: I feel like Cottrails gets a lot of oxygen from
Speaker 1: this show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if people don't hear us say it very.
Speaker 1: Often, that's true. That's that's because they haven't listened to
Speaker 1: the podcast.
Speaker 2: It's unexpected.
Speaker 3: Maybe Hey, Gary and Shannon, Oh, I see what you did.
Speaker 3: Wanted to say. I'm thankful for your show. Keeps me
Speaker 3: company when I'm driving from California to Utah, Utah and Beck.
Speaker 3: But this week I'm driving from Utah to Las Vegas,
Speaker 3: and I'm thankful not to have any damn kids as
Speaker 3: I celebrate with my wife, her sister, and my best
Speaker 3: friend and his wife.
Speaker 1: Fun. Keep up what you're doing well, go to the
Speaker 1: pepper Mill.
Speaker 4: If you do miss any part of the Gary and
Speaker 4: Shannon Show, you can always find it on demand. All
Speaker 4: you got to do on demand, that is, you just
Speaker 4: search for Gary and Shannon on the iHeartRadio app or
Speaker 4: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, anywhere you find podcasts.
Speaker 2: Is how you do it.
Speaker 1: And then that was a cassette tape for a minute.
Speaker 2: No, it's a pack of gum.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And then make sure you subscribe to the podcast,
Speaker 4: share the podcast, comment on the podcast. You find a
Speaker 4: particularly funny part of the podcast or heartfelt part of
Speaker 4: the podcast, you can always share it with friends and
Speaker 4: that always helps.
Speaker 2: Us out too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then you can let us know what you
Speaker 1: learned on the podcast on the garyan Chennan chow.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not bad. Write that down.
Speaker 2: It's time for swamp. Swamp is horrible government.
Speaker 1: Man, make it like a reality TV shoot bad doos.
Speaker 1: Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C.
Speaker 1: Hey Joe, a town all too clearly built on a
Speaker 1: swamp and in so many ways still a swamp. Back
Speaker 1: a bunch of Milwaukee.
Speaker 2: Body said, drained the swamp. I said, Oh, that's so hell.
Speaker 1: You know the thing well. The FBI says it is
Speaker 1: now investigating several of Trump's cabinet and administration picks have
Speaker 1: been targeted in recent hours with bomb threats and swatting.
Speaker 1: Threats were made last night and into this morning, so
Speaker 1: they say law enforcement acted quickly to ensure the safety
Speaker 1: of those targeted. They didn't say exactly who was targeted,
Speaker 1: did not elaborate on the nature other than bomb threats
Speaker 1: and swatting.
Speaker 4: There was one report that at last Stephanic was one
Speaker 4: of the recipients of one of these threats. She's the
Speaker 4: one who would be nominated or has been nominated to
Speaker 4: become the ambassador to the UN.
Speaker 2: She's a sitting congresswoman.
Speaker 4: So as of right now, it looks like Capitol Police
Speaker 4: would be the ones that would be investigating that.
Speaker 3: One of the.
Speaker 4: Issues that's come up in terms of the white House
Speaker 4: Press Corps is that the incoming administration is looking at
Speaker 4: expanding the types of media that would be involved in
Speaker 4: White House press briefings the James Brady Press Briefing Room,
Speaker 4: of course, and one of the suggestions is that podcasters
Speaker 4: get media access to the briefing room, which they hadn't
Speaker 4: had in any great capacity before, because, by the way, that's.
Speaker 2: The wave of the future. It's like plastics.
Speaker 4: Rogan for Joe Rogan, for example, millions and millions of
Speaker 4: downloads and listeners, So it would make sense for them
Speaker 4: to push forward with how having some of them.
Speaker 2: The problem is, you're not.
Speaker 4: You're not guaranteed neutrality, and I guess you're not guaranteed
Speaker 4: neutrality with any of.
Speaker 2: The reporters that are sitting in the press briefing room.
Speaker 4: But podcasts don't work by the same rules necessarily, and
Speaker 4: they don't have to function in the public interest necessity,
Speaker 4: and you know.
Speaker 2: Communications Act in nineteen thirty two, is it so?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 1: Last week, in the midst of the flurry of Elon
Speaker 1: Musk's daily missives on X, he reposted two X posts
Speaker 1: that revealed the names and titles of people holding four
Speaker 1: relatively obscure climate related government positions. Each post has been
Speaker 1: viewed tens of millions of times. The individuals named have
Speaker 1: been subjected to a barrage of negative attention, and at
Speaker 1: least one of the four women named has deleted her
Speaker 1: social media accounts. Some current and federal employees told CNN
Speaker 1: they're afraid their lives will be forever changed, including physically threatened,
Speaker 1: as Musk makes behind the scenes bureaucrats into personal targets.
Speaker 2: This is not a great look for.
Speaker 4: This newly formed body that will be this Department of
Speaker 4: Government efficiency.
Speaker 1: He said, it would be transparent that they would be
Speaker 1: posting the positions that they were eliminating, and this may
Speaker 1: be the precursor to that. You should put the people's
Speaker 1: names out.
Speaker 2: There, That's what I mean.
Speaker 1: That's one thing to put the position. And remember, this
Speaker 1: guy is.
Speaker 4: Has fought back against too much information. There was a
Speaker 4: guy on before Elon Musk bought Twitter and changed the name.
Speaker 4: There was a guy who was posting Elon Musk's private
Speaker 4: plane information, flight paths and things like that and locations,
Speaker 4: and Elon Musk fought against that guy. Now that's the
Speaker 4: kind of thing that he's aware of, and he's got
Speaker 4: to know that this is something that is not a
Speaker 4: great idea. You can listen. I love the idea of
Speaker 4: Department of Government efficiency. I hate the idea that putting
Speaker 4: people's names on it, right, because there are enough morons
Speaker 4: in this country that will think it's the people that
Speaker 4: are at the problem as opposed to government in general.
Speaker 1: Deborrah has alerted me to something in the ladies bathroom,
Speaker 1: and I will post it here. I'm going to use
Speaker 1: your caption someone had a rough night in the ladies.
Speaker 2: I left it there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I would tell you that if.
Speaker 2: You find something on the ground in the bathroom.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'll never touch it, just leave it. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: posting it right now to our Instagram storyeople.
Speaker 2: Who have better protection. Yeah, just in case.
Speaker 3: You know what.
Speaker 1: I'm thankful for Gary and Shannon. I'm thankful for.
Speaker 4: The iHeartRadio app because anytime I miss Gary and Shannon show,
Speaker 4: I just hit through wine and bang there you guys
Speaker 4: are so I love that.
Speaker 1: Thanks for the app.
Speaker 4: Thank you, iHeart and thank you guys, because you guys
Speaker 4: make me and everybody else mile every day.
Speaker 1: I look for nine to one best time of the day.
Speaker 2: Thank you for that reminder.
Speaker 4: Tomorrow, football games Chicago Detroit is the first one at
Speaker 4: about nine to thirty hour time. The New York Giants
Speaker 4: take on the Dallas Cowboys in the middle of the day,
Speaker 4: and then Dolphins Packers will round out for the evening game.
Speaker 4: Friday a pro game for the first time, the Black
Speaker 4: Friday Football I believe it's Amazon actually, but it's Raiders
Speaker 4: Chiefs and we will be doing Gas Fantasy for play
Speaker 4: today instead of Friday. So today at twelve twenty, we'll
Speaker 4: tell you what those four games are that we're going
Speaker 4: to be choosing, and there will be some for tomorrow.
Speaker 4: So we're going to be playing early this year, sorry
Speaker 4: this week, so make sure you get your picks in
Speaker 4: before kickoff of the first game that we choose.
Speaker 2: We'll do that coming up at twelve twenty.
Speaker 1: Hey, coming, Black Friday is on starts now. Always seems
Speaker 1: earlier and earlier each year. But we've got a guide
Speaker 1: to avoiding pressure tactics and online scams coming out. Protect
Speaker 1: yourself on this Black Week.
Speaker 2: We don't have to fall prey to that. We don't
Speaker 2: have to fall.
Speaker 1: Why is it called Black.
Speaker 4: Friday because that's allegedly it was the day that companies,
Speaker 4: retailers finally went into the black as opposed to running
Speaker 4: a deficit in the red.
Speaker 1: They finally made it interesting.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's all?
Speaker 1: Is that because people start Christmas shopping? Yeah, I got it,
Speaker 1: So that's why they would. You've never thought about this before,
Speaker 1: ever thought about this before. You rarely make it past Thursday.
Speaker 1: Why is it called Thursday?
Speaker 6: Why?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Why do we call Thursday?
Speaker 4: And why why do I play football on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1: Well, to avoid the family, That's why. That's a brilliant tradition.
Speaker 1: Families have been avoiding themselves going back to the birth
Speaker 1: of the NFL.
Speaker 4: I misreferenced an Communications Act of nineteen thirty four. It
Speaker 4: was actually the nineteen twenty seven Radio Acts that stated
Speaker 4: that the Licensing Authority shall determine that the public interest, convenience,
Speaker 4: or necessity would be served by the granting of a
Speaker 4: broadcast license. I learned that my sophomore year in college,
Speaker 4: and has I forgot it?
Speaker 1: So Thursday? I just looked up the etymology. Thursday means
Speaker 1: it comes from the old English day of thunder, named
Speaker 1: after Thor. How cool. Thursday's always been my favorite day
Speaker 1: and now I know.
Speaker 4: Why because of thor Yeah, I read an interesting article
Speaker 4: and I was going to ask your opinion of this.
Speaker 4: I think there is something that.
Speaker 1: Goes a bit more interesting than the etymology of Wednesday.
Speaker 2: We'll let you decide.
Speaker 4: Our friend Kennedy, radio host, podcast host, Fox News contributor,
Speaker 4: things like that, also writes a column for The Daily Mail,
Speaker 4: the British based tabloid, and she wrote it's an article
Speaker 4: specifically saying, my urgent warning to seventeen year old Kai Trump,
Speaker 4: who I fear.
Speaker 2: Is suddenly in danger.
Speaker 4: Kai is Don Junior's daughter, the tall brunette that ended
Speaker 4: up speaking at the Republican National Convention. That was like
Speaker 4: her first huge and I mean think about the millions
Speaker 4: of people that were introduced to her for the first time.
Speaker 4: She's a golfer, she loves her grandpa. I mean, she
Speaker 4: is beautiful, like all those people are. And Kennedy, as
Speaker 4: a mom writes, it might be better to go down
Speaker 4: the path of say Baron Trump. You know, her cousin
Speaker 4: would to be her cousin or uncle. It's her uncle
Speaker 4: Baron Trump, who has no social media presence, who does
Speaker 4: not have every moment of his day out there. But
Speaker 4: she being a seventeen year old girl, she's got the
Speaker 4: TikTok account.
Speaker 2: She's been shown in videos.
Speaker 4: She's got her own, you know, following in terms of
Speaker 4: social media presence, and Kennedy that she's got two teenage
Speaker 4: girls of her own and says that she has seen
Speaker 4: firsthand how dangerous, even for non famous girls, how dangerous
Speaker 4: social media can be. And this is this is going
Speaker 4: to be for her kids, I mean, for Don Junior's kids,
Speaker 4: for Ivanka's kids growing up, even for Baron who's a
Speaker 4: I think a freshman this year in college. There's this
Speaker 4: environment of social media that did not exist before.
Speaker 1: Think about if the Bush Girls had social media, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, we heard about their antics and it was
Speaker 1: really pretty much buttoned up antics but antiics. Nevertheless, your
Speaker 1: teenage girls, and we heard about that before the social
Speaker 1: media age. She was recently posting Kay Trump was a
Speaker 1: TikTok of her, and a friend appears doing the same
Speaker 1: dance moves that Donald Trump does at his rallies.
Speaker 4: From his plane from too, I'm like, which is nice
Speaker 4: if your grandpa has his own private plane the size
Speaker 4: of a small seven to twenty seven?
Speaker 1: What did Kennedy write, What was the math behind it?
Speaker 1: And just I mean obviously that social media can be harmful.
Speaker 4: But she talks about she simply, among other things, the
Speaker 4: idea that this young beautiful girl is going to attract
Speaker 4: the wrong kind of attention and that it is perfectly
Speaker 4: acceptable and probably an easier path to success personally if
Speaker 4: social media is out of the picture.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't know how you do the possible
Speaker 1: conversation to have with a seventeen year old girl.
Speaker 2: She wrote.
Speaker 4: And this is the final paragraph that she writes in
Speaker 4: this In this two tier system of Trump's, she refers
Speaker 4: to like again, Baron Trump and Malania are relatively quiet,
Speaker 4: and then Don Junior, who is, she says, more of
Speaker 4: a loudmouth lightning rod than his own father. Kai would
Speaker 4: be best served to take the lower profile set the
Speaker 4: instant to private deep six, the TikTok. As dazzling as
Speaker 4: the spotlight can be, it's red hot glare is not
Speaker 4: worth the burns that can irreparably harm a young woman
Speaker 4: in her irreplaceable formative years. Wow, I mean it's it's
Speaker 4: as a parent looking at these kids and everything that
Speaker 4: they're going to have to go through. And as she
Speaker 4: used the word lightning rod, for as much of a
Speaker 4: lightning rod as your Grandpa is right.
Speaker 2: She sees him as grandpa.
Speaker 4: The stories about these grandkids love, they love their grandpa.
Speaker 2: How do you not love.
Speaker 4: Your grandpa regardless of who he is politically, or what
Speaker 4: have a lightning rod is, or what other people say
Speaker 4: about him.
Speaker 2: You love him because he's your grandpa.
Speaker 4: And you could kind of set yourself up that nai
Speaker 4: naive that yeah, I'll say it. That naive way of
Speaker 4: thinking about your grandfather needs to be preserved, and one
Speaker 4: way to do that is to completely remove yourself from
Speaker 4: social media.
Speaker 1: One could argue that Kennedy became too famous, too quick,
Speaker 1: too young. I mean, there's a reason the Goo Goo
Speaker 1: Dolls wrote that song name after her. You know, you
Speaker 1: can come hang out with me. I won't tell anyone
Speaker 1: your name kind of thing that kind of lends itself
Speaker 1: to oh, wait o, s I'm this famous. Wait I
Speaker 1: don't want all this, And it so happens so quickly
Speaker 1: that snowball moves so fast down the mountain that you
Speaker 1: lose control of that and then bam, you don't have
Speaker 1: a a lot of privacy.
Speaker 4: I mean, she has that perspective and the perspective being
Speaker 4: a mom of teenage girls to see that danger yeah, upfront,
Speaker 4: up close.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, the etymology.
Speaker 1: Oh you want to know about Wednesday? It's named after Odin,
Speaker 1: the day of Odin. Remember Thor's Thursday?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 1: Do you want to know what Tuesday is? Yeah, the
Speaker 1: day of Taiou, a Germanic god of war in the sky.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of powerful things that these days of
Speaker 4: the week are named after.
Speaker 1: You want to know what Monday is?
Speaker 2: Moonday? I you think it's moon.
Speaker 1: You're right, day of the Moon. What haven't we covered Friday?
Speaker 1: Ice cubes day? Day of the ice cube?
Speaker 2: Today was a good day.
Speaker 1: Yes, Day of Friga actually named after the Germanic goddess Friga,
Speaker 1: wife of Odin.
Speaker 2: So she gets her own day.
Speaker 1: But they're separated by Thor right because Thor is the
Speaker 1: hot one.
Speaker 2: Okay, enough of that.
Speaker 4: Check on check on your nephews and your sons and
Speaker 4: your grandsons at Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: Check in with them, see how they're doing.
Speaker 4: Why there's a weird thing going on where we're do
Speaker 4: Young dudes are having a hard time because a lot
Speaker 4: of times they're being told that they're too aggressive, or
Speaker 4: they're to this, or they're too that. Really, and they
Speaker 4: are turning to ai girlfriends, as made popular by the
Speaker 4: movie That Her Yeah, that Joaquin Phoenix was in. And
Speaker 4: it is very disturbing the kinds of things that AI
Speaker 4: girlfriends provide to young boys and men.
Speaker 1: That girls are difficult, girls are tricky, girls are a
Speaker 1: Rubik's cube.
Speaker 2: Yes, and.
Speaker 1: Play with it.
Speaker 2: I mean, let me try it again.
Speaker 4: Yeah, don't put the Rubik's cube down or throw it
Speaker 4: across the room right away.
Speaker 1: So he gets frustrated. Frustrating because it's because it's not easy.
Speaker 4: Hey, some guys can solve a Rubik's cube in less
Speaker 4: than ten seconds.
Speaker 1: Most cannot.
Speaker 2: Most cannot. I was never one of those guys.
Speaker 1: So you know, it's it's just it's sad, But it's
Speaker 1: definitely the easy way out, isn't it to get attention
Speaker 1: from a female without working for it. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know how the AI bots are. Do you have
Speaker 1: to work for it with an AI bought or they
Speaker 1: just they see what you're into and then they change
Speaker 1: the way that they respond to you based on your answers. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's the AI part of it.
Speaker 4: And that's the disturbing that one of the former CEOs
Speaker 4: of Google, Eric Schmidt, did an interview in a podcast
Speaker 4: that listened to most of it, and it's it's a
Speaker 4: terrifying This is the guy who knows all about the technology,
Speaker 4: but he also knows enough about being male that it
Speaker 4: triggers something in dudes that is not healthy.
Speaker 1: And it's easy, it's no interaction, it's not working for it.
Speaker 1: And also, think about what kind of girls you're now
Speaker 1: programming yourself to want if you ever get out of
Speaker 1: that AI relationship. It's the girls that will do anything
Speaker 1: to make you like them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, anyway, And other good news, Black Friday starts what
Speaker 4: two days ago five days ago, Black Friday Week is
Speaker 4: now a thing where your email inbox is probably flooded
Speaker 4: with Hey, get the early Black Friday deal now thirty
Speaker 4: percent off this, or free shipping on that.
Speaker 2: It's all over the place.
Speaker 4: Target, Amazon, JC Penny of course did release their promotions
Speaker 4: a week ahead on Thanksgiving. Walmart and other deals and
Speaker 4: others will drop their deals on Monday. A lot of
Speaker 4: this is this shift towards spreading out the discounts throughout
Speaker 4: the month of November instead of just day after Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4: And then, of course the online counterpart that we talk about,
Speaker 4: which is Cyber Monday, which usually comes up well, which
Speaker 4: is generally the Monday after Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: There are some tricks they're using things like bold lettering
Speaker 1: to remind you that it is in high demand or
Speaker 1: low stock or in ten people's carts, because your next
Speaker 1: thought tends to be, oh man, it's going to sell out.
Speaker 1: I need to get it right now.
Speaker 4: I saw that there's a pair of work boots and
Speaker 4: they were made in a dark brown leather and it
Speaker 4: said low quantity or not a lot left or something
Speaker 4: like that, only a few remain, And I thought, well, gosh,
Speaker 4: those are really nice boots I should get. Wait, what
Speaker 4: why am I thinking, first of all that I need
Speaker 4: work boots. I've got boots that I could wear, And
Speaker 4: how often do.
Speaker 1: I wear them?
Speaker 2: You've seen what I do for work. I don't wear
Speaker 2: them in here.
Speaker 1: You do a lot of work outside of the place.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I don't need new ones, and they don't
Speaker 4: need to be this special dark brown walnut color.
Speaker 1: That is right. You don't want to be gavit new.
Speaker 1: Someone you're doing work in the fields, brand new, brand
Speaker 1: new work boots, old boots, and you'll like it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: There is a surge in counterfeit sites and phishing scams
Speaker 1: that use the names of popular luxury brands and tech
Speaker 1: products to lure customers into purchasing products for what the
Speaker 1: consumer believes are unbelievably unbelievably low prices. Instead, they're giving
Speaker 1: away your personal information to cybercrooks.
Speaker 4: I've always hated that if you give me your address
Speaker 4: now you get a fifteen percent discount.
Speaker 1: I never do it.
Speaker 2: Well, even if you.
Speaker 1: Do it, then you have to go through the price is.
Speaker 4: Unsubscribed, unsubscribed that don't sign me up anymore, and all
Speaker 4: that sort of stuff. One of the things that I've
Speaker 4: seen is fake count down timer. You okay, if.
Speaker 1: You got like on Ticketmaster and stuff on Ticketmaster.
Speaker 2: They do some of that on Etsy.
Speaker 4: Some of the small more personal shops like that, they'll
Speaker 4: do fake countdown timers, like this price ends in fifteen
Speaker 4: minutes or twelve hours or something like that in order
Speaker 4: to pressure you into getting it quicker than you'd want to.
Speaker 4: You go back and check that same product two days
Speaker 4: later and it says is countdown time or is only going.
Speaker 2: You got just fifteen minutes left on this price.
Speaker 4: Porch pirates are going to be a problem if someone's
Speaker 4: going to get shot doing this. The amazing amount of
Speaker 4: cojones it takes to walk to someone's property and remove
Speaker 4: something from their porch, especially with how ubiquitous these video
Speaker 4: doorbells have become.
Speaker 2: It's just.
Speaker 4: It's just unbelievable how brave people are. It's not the
Speaker 4: right word ballsy. And then finally, a lot of places
Speaker 4: you don't actually have to send the packages to your house.
Speaker 4: You could send them somewhere where someone staffs the place,
Speaker 4: whether it's you know, mailbox, et cetera, US UPS store.
Speaker 2: Amazon Home Depot, places like that.
Speaker 4: They'll ship it to the store, for example, so that
Speaker 4: you can pick it up from there.
Speaker 1: I was trying to find it. I got an email
Speaker 1: that was like targeted to me and what had one
Speaker 1: of those alerts three left or what have you?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Really, you know, and it's just like, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to fall for that.
Speaker 4: One of the other scams is they know everybody's buying online,
Speaker 4: so you'll get a text from a certain name of
Speaker 4: delivery place delivery company here that says, hey, your FedEx
Speaker 4: package got caught up in a thing. We need a
Speaker 4: new address or you need to send us whatever. Check
Speaker 4: this link. And it's some random Russian name. All of
Speaker 4: This makes me just want to go out and live
Speaker 4: in a field. Just turn everything off, shut everything down,
Speaker 4: give people different kind of root vegetables for Christmas.
Speaker 1: You get a carrot in a field by myself. Oh,
Speaker 1: not even picking vegetables, just living in the breeze nature.
Speaker 1: Nobody trying to sell me anything. Do you want your
Speaker 1: Jeopardy question?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: I didn't realize that today was the day that we
Speaker 4: did Jeopardy.
Speaker 1: Which MLB player holds the record for the most cy
Speaker 1: Young Awards as opposed to NBA player. Thank you for
Speaker 1: that boarding.
Speaker 4: Ah is it Roger Clement?
Speaker 1: Yes, good job.
Speaker 2: Just saw a video with him today.
Speaker 4: Oh did you There was just something showed up on
Speaker 4: my YouTube page that was like MythBusters tackle all of
Speaker 4: the baseball mysteries.
Speaker 1: Oh that's kind of fun.
Speaker 2: A couple sides of my lizard brain at the same time.
Speaker 1: Oh well, I don't need to hear about that. Rain
Speaker 1: cold tempts on the way for a lot of areas
Speaker 1: in this country throughout the holiday weekend. Storm will organize
Speaker 1: this afternoon in the southern plains Mississippi Valley, spread into
Speaker 1: the Appalachians overnight. Denver could get up to three inches
Speaker 1: of snow today. Thanksgiving, rain will fall from the southeast
Speaker 1: to the northeast. Conditions will remain dry for most of
Speaker 1: the rest of the country. High winds on Friday could
Speaker 1: cause some disruptions at airports in the Midwest, and then
Speaker 1: that lake effects snow could be a real problem for
Speaker 1: travel in parts of the Great Lakes area over the weekend.
Speaker 2: And hey, you don't even have to be flying.
Speaker 5: He listening to you too, like I do every day,
Speaker 5: but just wanted to give you a heads up. If
Speaker 5: you're on the five going north past Baker Shield going
Speaker 5: up to Schmprancisco, it is completely stopped on both sides.
Speaker 5: I just thought i'd give you an update on how
Speaker 5: fun it is to be on the five northbound.
Speaker 1: But we're happy to be with you. Yeah, on that
Speaker 1: a lot.
Speaker 4: I didn't find anything specific except there's a couple of
Speaker 4: things right near where State Route thirty three comes in
Speaker 4: off the Fresno Sleugh.
Speaker 2: I know you're you know.
Speaker 4: Exactly where that is, oh sure, but that there is
Speaker 4: some congestion at the very least.
Speaker 1: John Madden's love of football and family came through the
Speaker 1: most on Thanksgiving. You know this, oh.
Speaker 4: Second, you said John Madden the first time I heard
Speaker 4: John McEnroe.
Speaker 1: You've also heard genitals. Yeah, so you heard genitals McEnroe. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: So Tomorrow, NBC will continue to honor Madden's legacy when
Speaker 1: it opens. It's broadcast before the Dolphins Packers game. It's
Speaker 1: a two minute open features the original original Excuse Me
Speaker 1: Madden Cruiser traveling from the Pro Football Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: in Canton to Lambeau. Last week, it's remained in Green Bay.
Speaker 1: Will be featured during the game. Madden will be honored
Speaker 1: during all three games tomorrow. It's the third year the
Speaker 1: NFL has had the John Maddam Thanksgiving celebration after he
Speaker 1: died in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 6: God, I love that broadcaster. I'm just going to say
Speaker 6: he was what a genuine person. Yeah, they have a
Speaker 6: big statue of them, cal Poly Did you know that.
Speaker 6: I did not know that they're doing a big John
Speaker 6: Madden Football Center when I was there for graduation in June.
Speaker 1: They were still under construction. But yeah, very cool.
Speaker 2: The former Google CEO Eric Schmidt is warning that artificial
Speaker 2: intelligence chatbots could increase loneliness among young men.
Speaker 4: Who prefer AI powered perfect girlfriends.
Speaker 1: He described he was.
Speaker 4: In a he did a podcast with New York's Stern
Speaker 4: School of Business professor Scott Galloway, The Prof g Show,
Speaker 4: and it was a weirdly prophetic and obvious, like stomach
Speaker 4: churning to me to think about what we're doing to
Speaker 4: young boys and men.
Speaker 7: In many cases, the paths success for young men has been,
Speaker 7: shall we say, being made more difficult because they're not
Speaker 7: as educated as the women are now. Remember they're more
Speaker 7: women in college than men, and many of the traditional
Speaker 7: paths are no longer as available, and so they turn
Speaker 7: to the online world for enjoyment and sustenance, but also
Speaker 7: because of the social media algorithms, they find like minded
Speaker 7: people who ultimately radicalize them, either in a horrific way
Speaker 7: like terrorism, or in the kind of way that you're
Speaker 7: describing where they just malagusted.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 4: As an example, one of those paths that for a
Speaker 4: lot of kids is unavailable is the military. We have
Speaker 4: fattened up and dumbed down our kids to such a
Speaker 4: point that some of them don't qualify for military service,
Speaker 4: even though that for centuries has been a way to
Speaker 4: help develop these young people into contributing members of society.
Speaker 1: They say that the path to success for young men
Speaker 1: has been made more difficult because they're not as educated
Speaker 1: as the women are.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in twenty nineteen, women surpassed men to account for
Speaker 1: more than half of the college aged workforce college educated
Speaker 1: excuse me workforce in the United States. That's a shift.
Speaker 1: And women are obviously waiting till later to have kids too,
Speaker 1: so that plays into it.
Speaker 4: We did the story last month about a Florida mom
Speaker 4: who is suing one of these AI powered chatbots because
Speaker 4: they're for her fourteen year old son committed suicide earlier
Speaker 4: in the year. Now that that obviously is the far
Speaker 4: end and one of the most egregious examples of a
Speaker 4: kid falling a kid that is susceptible to this. But again,
Speaker 4: Eric Schmidt talked about what about the future, how does
Speaker 4: this get better?
Speaker 7: So, now, imagine that the AI girlfriend or boyfriend, whether
Speaker 7: she's AI girlfriend as an example, is perfect, perfect, visually,
Speaker 7: perfect emotionally, and the AI girlfriend in this case captures
Speaker 7: your mind as a man to the point where she
Speaker 7: or whatever it is, takes over the way you're thinking.
Speaker 7: You're obsessed with her. That kind of obsession is possible,
Speaker 7: especially with people who are not fully formed.
Speaker 4: Now, the key to this to me was there's no
Speaker 4: physical aspect of this. Part of what drives a teenage boy,
Speaker 4: whether you like it or not, is the desire to
Speaker 4: express their sexuality physical, to do something with somebody. And
Speaker 4: if there's no aspect of that it if that would,
Speaker 4: I mean to put it in crass terms, if that's
Speaker 4: the ultimate reward that you're trying to tailor your behavior
Speaker 4: towards to get to. But that doesn't exist. You have
Speaker 4: no reason to tailor your behavior in any way. You
Speaker 4: have no reason to learn how to treat a woman.
Speaker 4: You you never.
Speaker 1: Learned those things. That the Rubik's cube has a color
Speaker 1: for every side, right you just so what is that?
Speaker 1: What is that?
Speaker 4: It's a it's a Rubik's cube with one color all
Speaker 4: the all the squares are the same color. You don't
Speaker 4: it doesn't you don't have to do anything to it.
Speaker 4: It's just already there.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: You don't open doors, you don't. You don't bring flowers,
Speaker 2: you don't.
Speaker 4: You know, I mean not that guys are great at
Speaker 4: that anyway, don't get me wrong, And I.
Speaker 1: Certainly it was never that wayver lining, what's the silver
Speaker 1: lining that men were never really good with that across
Speaker 1: the board.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and a lot of them they never got.
Speaker 1: The well and I've been hearing this more and more
Speaker 1: in recent years of just the laziness out there with
Speaker 1: guys and dating girls or trying to date girls, or
Speaker 1: they don't want to put any effort into it.
Speaker 2: No just doing anything publicly.
Speaker 4: Even the guys want to sit in their rooms and
Speaker 4: play video games the whole time.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the way it's been for a long time.
Speaker 1: But it was the female and seeking that female attention
Speaker 1: that would get you to put down that Nintendo control.
Speaker 2: Right, she should have.
Speaker 1: And now if you've got the female attention.
Speaker 4: She's riding that she's riding right now. What what is
Speaker 4: she writing? She's riding on the sofa next to you. Ah,
Speaker 4: that's some of me, Like she's whispering.
Speaker 1: Well see. And that's why I'm not that worried because
Speaker 1: of something that you pointed out. Men are physical. You
Speaker 1: can have a relationship with a woman all day long.
Speaker 1: Unless you're getting that like physical thing, It's it means
Speaker 1: nothing to the guy, right, I mean, they don't want
Speaker 1: to just sit and chat with somebody who they think
Speaker 1: is a woman.
Speaker 2: I hope not. I hope not.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think that is. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's going to be the downfall. I think it's for
Speaker 1: a segment of men, yes, but it's not going to
Speaker 1: be a big thing. Men will always want to have
Speaker 1: sex with women that will always be a driving force
Speaker 1: in their life. Most men or other men or whatever,
Speaker 1: there's perfect. They're not picky sex period. Do you know
Speaker 1: what that is? Right over there?
Speaker 2: The huge, big, massive honkers.
Speaker 1: No, not sorry, you know you've got me.
Speaker 2: You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 4: You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
Speaker 4: forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
Speaker 4: and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
