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. I have a theory about this
Speaker 1: Christmas tree, and I'm using Christmas in quotes. This is
Speaker 1: a tree brought in by a fantastic home decor company.
Speaker 1: It's a very expensive tree. It's pink. It's cotton candy pink.
Speaker 1: It's bright pink, it's rose gold. It is as you said,
Speaker 1: it gave you a cavity right when you walk in
Speaker 1: one of the featured ornaments. And now when I say ornament,
Speaker 1: I mean huge. It's huge these ornaments. It's a ice
Speaker 1: cream cone and it's about oh, I would say it's
Speaker 1: fourteen inches by four inches. It's a big ornament. And
Speaker 1: there's about ten of them on this tree. And they're
Speaker 1: about eighty four dollars apiece. That's neither here nor there.
Speaker 2: I have.
Speaker 3: My theory is.
Speaker 4: This is big tobacco. Big Tobacco.
Speaker 1: Has come up with these massive ice cream cone ornaments
Speaker 1: to make us think of ice cream, to make us
Speaker 1: want more ice cream. That we just talked about the
Speaker 1: ultra processed foods and the industry and the way they
Speaker 1: get into your brain with just the packaging and the
Speaker 1: color of the.
Speaker 4: Box, even the sound, the.
Speaker 1: Bliss points, the sounds, the cyber marketing or whatever they
Speaker 1: called asonic marketing.
Speaker 3: And I think that.
Speaker 1: They've now gotten into Christmas and they're coming up with
Speaker 1: these massive ice cream cone ornaments that are all the
Speaker 1: rage to make, to put ice cream on the brain,
Speaker 1: because I haven't stopped thinking about ice cream since we
Speaker 1: walked in here. And yesterday we talked about ice cream
Speaker 1: and you said it's like when you take two bites
Speaker 1: of ice cream, you can't stop.
Speaker 4: They because of.
Speaker 1: The sugar and the salt and the fat. And now
Speaker 1: they've infiltrated our trees.
Speaker 5: So without looking at it, don't look over there. What
Speaker 5: kind of ice cream do you want right now?
Speaker 3: I want?
Speaker 1: Okay, what I want when because I don't look at
Speaker 1: me because of the sprinkles.
Speaker 3: I want that like cake batter ice cream.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was going to say that the old Baskin
Speaker 5: Robbins bubblegum ice cream.
Speaker 1: I never liked that one. It was too sweet for me.
Speaker 1: But you think this tree is not giving sweet batter.
Speaker 1: My roommate in college, Kim, her mom Jerry, used to
Speaker 1: make these cake batter cookies and send them to us
Speaker 1: in the dorms. Cake if you ever had a cake
Speaker 1: batter cookie, you know what, I'm going to get the
Speaker 1: recipe and I'm going to make you some because they
Speaker 1: are incredible, but you can't stop eating them.
Speaker 3: There Where are you looking at? Are you trying to
Speaker 3: do news or no?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: No, I was just trying to focus on sentencing. I see,
Speaker 2: because the more you talk about cake batter cookies, the
Speaker 2: less attention I'm going to pay to anything until I
Speaker 2: get a cake batter curry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll stop talking about it till I find the recipe.
Speaker 5: The man accused of killing nursing student Lake and Riley
Speaker 5: has been found guilty on all ten counts against him.
Speaker 5: They are giving witness statements right now in the sentencing.
Speaker 5: The judge has said that he's already ready to sentence,
Speaker 5: but we are getting some of the victim's statements. The
Speaker 5: families of Lake and family members of Lake and Riley.
Speaker 5: The US Embassy in Kiev has temporarily closed its doors
Speaker 5: out of an abundance of caution. They said in a
Speaker 5: statement that the Embassy recommends US citizens in Ukraine be
Speaker 5: prepared to immediately shelter in the event an air alert
Speaker 5: is announced. Also along those lines, President Biden has authorized
Speaker 5: the provision of anti personnel land minds to Ukraine. They
Speaker 5: say that's going to bolster Keev's defenses against Russian troops
Speaker 5: as they advance in But it is pretty controversial considering
Speaker 5: more than one hundred and sixty countries have signed an
Speaker 5: international treaty ban the use of anti personnel lines, noting
Speaker 5: the weapons can cause enduring harm to civilians when they're
Speaker 5: left there. Speaking of Ukraine and Russia and all of
Speaker 5: the latest Brian suits, host of The Dark Secret Place
Speaker 5: is going to join us late in the show today
Speaker 5: and talk more about this.
Speaker 3: Great that'll be fun to hear from him.
Speaker 1: Okay, So La Police are asking for all of our
Speaker 1: help to find additional victims of two people who have
Speaker 1: gotten a ticket for straight to Hell. They have been
Speaker 1: kidnapping and robbing elderly victims. They say that this went
Speaker 1: on for six months, six month crime spree from June
Speaker 1: to November. They were operating across the city South La
Speaker 1: Boyle Heights, MacArthur Park. They have been identified and apprehended,
Speaker 1: but they believe that these people victimized many more people
Speaker 1: we don't even know about.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're mo is. They would walk up or drive up.
Speaker 5: Sorry, in about a mid twenty tens gray Ford focus hatchback.
Speaker 5: They get out of the car and they engage with
Speaker 5: one of these victims, elderly victim, and then claim that
Speaker 5: they're affiliated with a local church to try to put
Speaker 5: the victims at.
Speaker 3: Ease, using church for evil.
Speaker 5: One of the suspects then gets out of the car,
Speaker 5: threatens the victim with physical violence or a handgun.
Speaker 1: Forces them into the vehicle, drives them to another location
Speaker 1: where they demand money or jewelry, continue to threaten to
Speaker 1: hurt them if they don't comply.
Speaker 5: Detectives said they were eventually able to identify the suspects
Speaker 5: in their vehicle. Two were arrested sometime this month, and
Speaker 5: just yesterday police released two images of the vehicle used
Speaker 5: in the kidnappings and robberies and hopes they could find
Speaker 5: additional victims that may not have been contacted. They might
Speaker 5: see what's going on and come forward. Yeah, that's just
Speaker 5: straight to hell.
Speaker 1: Straight to hell. You're robbing old people under the guise
Speaker 1: of God, telling them your church. In front of the
Speaker 1: eyes of God, he sees everything Anyways, he sees everything.
Speaker 1: He's watching you right now. Yeah, yeah, he knows what
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about. Those cookies, cake, better cookies. We have
Speaker 1: a nice story coming up this hour.
Speaker 5: I doubt it. It just seems like they're such bad news.
Speaker 1: You're just going to be in a bad mood until
Speaker 1: you get cookies. There are cookies down the hall that
Speaker 1: could suffice till I get the recipe.
Speaker 4: They come in a paper bag, plastic bag. What do
Speaker 4: you mean, cookies?
Speaker 1: There's cookie There's a famous amus cookies down there that
Speaker 1: you can eat ultra processed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I've seen you put down several bags of them,
Speaker 3: old doc before.

Speaker 1: we've got no friends.
Speaker 4: Well, are we down really rented?
Speaker 3: We kind of don't.
Speaker 5: We read to Amy in the morning show and then
Speaker 5: we rent Debora while she hangs out with John.
Speaker 3: I mean, you're making it sound weird, like we're renting women.
Speaker 1: All sounds like Amy's wearing her adult Disney outfit today
Speaker 1: and I would like to rent Inchras.
Speaker 4: Please be careful you might get evicted.
Speaker 1: Oh damn, too soon soon.
Speaker 5: Last night we did the wrap party for the adult
Speaker 5: theater show for the Matchmaker, and we ate on stage
Speaker 5: every night. I don't know if you could see that,
Speaker 5: but it was real food that they brought out.
Speaker 1: Eating real food, and you you you didn't waste a lot.
Speaker 5: Well there was I mean watching there wasn't a lot
Speaker 5: of food on the plate.
Speaker 4: That was it.
Speaker 5: I mean they bring out a chicken every night, and
Speaker 5: you attacked that chicken. Well, I'm supposed to be a gruss.
Speaker 3: I know, I'm just giving you a hard time.
Speaker 4: Can feel bad about my eating.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I was in character, I know, I know.
Speaker 5: But they had cranberry sauce as part of the meal
Speaker 5: every night. Oh that's cool, which was funny because I
Speaker 5: as they bought it. You know, They're like, we're not
Speaker 5: going to go for the expensive stuff. We're just going
Speaker 5: to get the jelly cranberry sauce that comes out of
Speaker 5: a jar, and I was like, that is that's because
Speaker 5: that's the only kind, that's the absolute best kind. So
Speaker 5: one of the women who was responsible for the food
Speaker 5: every night brought me a full jar of jelly.
Speaker 4: Cranberry sauce as a gift, which I thought was, well.
Speaker 3: That's nice. Is that the woman whose hands you hold
Speaker 3: for twenty minutes?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: Very funny?
Speaker 5: I so, okay, can we do this here?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we can take this here.
Speaker 1: We did an complete segment on ice cream ornaments.
Speaker 4: Last are you caught up on shrinking?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: I didn't watch the one that dropped last night.
Speaker 5: Just came out last night. I don't want to blow
Speaker 5: anything for it, but I have this conversation that was
Speaker 5: really very okay because it stems from your in the play,
Speaker 5: I hold the hand of Dolly Gallagher at the end
Speaker 5: of Finally ask her to marry me after she's been
Speaker 5: badgering me for the entire play to marry her.
Speaker 3: I don't know why you have to hold her hand
Speaker 3: for that long?
Speaker 4: Okay, easy, dear, It was just weird.
Speaker 5: Listen, sweetie, Sometimes daddy's fall in love with other mommies.
Speaker 5: I don't like it, but I had that I said
Speaker 5: that to my wife. I said that we had this
Speaker 5: discussion and that you were like, it was weird for
Speaker 5: you to see me holding a hand of somebody who's
Speaker 5: not my wife. Yeah, And I thought that was nice
Speaker 5: and it was a that's good. I think that's an
Speaker 5: actual that's a positive thing. You you envisioned me with
Speaker 5: my wife, and that's the way it should be. So
Speaker 5: there's a new that we were watching a television show
Speaker 5: and again I'm not going to tell you which one,
Speaker 5: but we were watching a television show where a woman
Speaker 5: kisses another guy who's not her husband after they'd been
Speaker 5: hanging out for a while.
Speaker 3: And is it the neighbor with that guy Mac?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now it's gonna make me very uncomfortable.
Speaker 5: It is, And it was that's the whole point of it.
Speaker 5: Like she realizes in the moment, like what am I?
Speaker 5: What's happening? And runs away. Then she goes to Harrison
Speaker 5: Ford's character and says, what do I do? And he's like,
Speaker 5: you either tell him or you don't. Your husband, you
Speaker 5: tell him or you don't. If you don't tell him,
Speaker 5: you live with your guilt for the rest of your life.
Speaker 5: If I mean, if it's that big of a deal
Speaker 5: and if you if you do tell him, then now
Speaker 5: he knows, and that starts a whole other thing, like
Speaker 5: there's two paths and neither one of them is a
Speaker 5: great path. So then my wife says, at the end
Speaker 5: of the show, would you tell me if you kissed
Speaker 5: somebody else?
Speaker 4: And I go and I'm you got mad?
Speaker 3: I know mad?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well wait a minute, would you tell me if
Speaker 5: you kissed another dude? And then she was like, well,
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know, probably not because look at
Speaker 5: your reaction to this, and it's just a hypothetical.
Speaker 4: I mean there was a good fifteen minutes there. I
Speaker 4: was pretty heated.
Speaker 3: Well in that vein.
Speaker 1: I will say that I have asked you a couple
Speaker 1: times if your adult theater called for you.
Speaker 5: To do that, right, So then that also came up
Speaker 5: and I said, well, I don't think I would even
Speaker 5: take a role. I mean, we're saying this is how
Speaker 5: apparently we have nothing else to talk about it. I say,
Speaker 5: you guys really noticed that the mood Russian our teeth
Speaker 5: getting ready for bed. And I was like, but I
Speaker 5: probably wouldn't do a role where that was called for,
Speaker 5: and she'd be like, I don't care. Wait here's the thing, man,
Speaker 5: she had very specific rules about who the other person
Speaker 5: could be.
Speaker 4: I would knife somebody probably probably.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think if my my husband did theater,
Speaker 1: like when he was in high school. Sure, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to think he.
Speaker 4: Grew out of it, is what you're saying.
Speaker 1: No, and uh, I'm trying to think what I would
Speaker 1: think about that if he did that for a role.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, and it probably depends on the I
Speaker 4: have a silkwood scrub his face.
Speaker 5: Right, there's that. There's the what's what are how how
Speaker 5: intimate is this thing?
Speaker 3: God intimate?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Ah, no, you guys really know how to set the
Speaker 1: mood in that house from from watching e Er where
Speaker 1: the baby dies of the rape victim right before your
Speaker 1: son is born.
Speaker 5: Well, do you remember also the movie I want to
Speaker 5: say it was Demi Moore.
Speaker 4: Oh indecent proposal, Yes, that's what it was.
Speaker 5: I was gonna say million dollar proposal, but I mean
Speaker 5: it was Robert Redford, right, That's I mean.
Speaker 3: Everyone forgets that.
Speaker 1: Everyone's like, oh, would you you know Woody Allen right
Speaker 1: is the right not Woody Allen, Woody Harrelson Harrels, and
Speaker 1: he is.
Speaker 3: I've had Diane Keaton on the Brain.
Speaker 1: Woody Harrelson and he there is a young couple and
Speaker 1: there's Strappedford and Robert the older guy says, I'll give
Speaker 1: you a million dollars if I get to have one
Speaker 1: night with your wife, right, and like that's the question,
Speaker 1: Like that's the moral dilemma. But no one ever tosses
Speaker 1: in the sprinkles that the guy she's gonna have sex
Speaker 1: with is Robert Redford in like Hot Times.
Speaker 4: I don't know about Hot Time.
Speaker 1: Oh he was very good look Even me at eight
Speaker 1: years old knew he was good looking.
Speaker 5: I remember watching that movie and then having that discussion
Speaker 5: with my then girlfriend where I.
Speaker 4: Was like, well, what do you have a price? Is
Speaker 4: there a price on this? Whoa? How do you?
Speaker 5: Is this a thing that people think about and they
Speaker 5: would be approached with and have a price.
Speaker 4: And I remember being really upset about that too.
Speaker 1: I mean, look at Robert Redford on this, I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, you would do that for ten bucks? That
Speaker 1: that's the movie poster. I mean, that's like the height
Speaker 1: of y. I mean, he's what in his fifties there,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe sixty.
Speaker 4: No, what year was this?
Speaker 5: It would have been nineteen three, two ninety two to
Speaker 5: three something like that.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 3: Ninety three ninety three.
Speaker 4: Okay, so I'll do a quick math here, brought Robert Redford.
Speaker 5: But that that was a funny conversation. It became one
Speaker 5: of those things where and then it would keep coming
Speaker 5: back up.
Speaker 1: He was fifty fifty six. Okay, Yeah, that's a good
Speaker 1: look in fifty six. All right, keep it in your pants.
Speaker 1: Oh you're the one.
Speaker 3: You're the one kissing women.
Speaker 4: I didn't wait, no, no.
Speaker 5: I had it.
Speaker 3: Turns out your wife doesn't even care.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 5: SpaceX flew its latest test flight of its starship Mega
Speaker 5: Rocket yesterday. Trump actually joined Elon Musk to witness this
Speaker 5: spectacle firsthand. But a problem with the original plan to
Speaker 5: catch that first stage rocket with the large tower and
Speaker 5: the chopstick like they've done before, so the first age
Speaker 5: actually had to be steered towards the otherwise normal splash
Speaker 5: down out in the Gulf of Mexico.
Speaker 3: Do you love a Christmas story? Probably not one of
Speaker 3: your favorite movies?
Speaker 4: Why not?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I thought you were more of like a Snoopies Christmas
Speaker 1: person or something.
Speaker 4: I like it. It's up there.
Speaker 1: Top five fans of a Christmas story have a place
Speaker 1: to stay in Oklahoma. Ralphie's Christmas House stands near a
Speaker 1: fifty foot tall replica of the famous leg lamp that
Speaker 1: was built in chickashaw am I, saying that right to
Speaker 1: draw visitors. The two story airbnb was built in nineteen thirty,
Speaker 1: remodeled in twenty twenty three. It's got four bedrooms can
Speaker 1: sleep up to ten. You can google Ralphie's House online
Speaker 1: to make reservations and see pictures.
Speaker 5: Didn't we see Ralphie's house in Cleveland? It was part
Speaker 5: of the story was that we drove right by it.
Speaker 5: At one point, I'm going to dinner with John and Ken, I.
Speaker 4: Think, But that's all fake news. None of that is fake.
Speaker 1: We were in a car with John and Ken going
Speaker 1: to Oh, Okay, we're going to a dinner with Okay,
Speaker 1: they will be there, got it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we were never in a car. They would never
Speaker 4: send a car I know.
Speaker 3: I was like, I've never sat in a car with
Speaker 3: John or Ken.
Speaker 4: They would.
Speaker 5: If we hailed a tax I'd open the doors for us,
Speaker 5: let us get in, and then send it on its way.
Speaker 1: A second one, if I saw John driving a car,
Speaker 1: I would vacate that particular freeway. In fact, the man
Speaker 1: has to put in his home address into the GPS
Speaker 1: every night.
Speaker 4: Yeah, trying to find it Cleveland.
Speaker 5: The La City Council did as we expected yesterday and
Speaker 5: adopted this sanctuary City ordinance to prohibit the use of
Speaker 5: city resources or staff for federal immigration enforcement efforts. Passed
Speaker 5: through a thirteen to nothing vote yesterday afternoon, after the
Speaker 5: drafting was approved by the council more than a year ago.
Speaker 5: This month, the effort to officially establish and enforce this
Speaker 5: new sanctuary city ordinance got new momentum, of course, after
Speaker 5: the election did not turn out the way the La
Speaker 5: City Council wanted it to. With Trump winning, the president
Speaker 5: elect has confirmed that he is prepared to declare a
Speaker 5: national emergency for federal law enforcement efforts when it comes
Speaker 5: to deportation of illegal immigrants. Last week, the city leader
Speaker 5: said that they were working to fast track a vote
Speaker 5: on this policy. Mayor Karen Bass in fact said I
Speaker 5: stand with the people of this city. She said, the
Speaker 5: moment demands urgency. Some immigrant rights activists have criticized the
Speaker 5: prior resolution, which formally declared La as sanctuary city in
Speaker 5: twenty nineteen as symbolic rather than any sort of enforceable
Speaker 5: safeguard for residents. So this new ordinance bans the city's
Speaker 5: collection of information on anyone's individual immigration status and would
Speaker 5: are a city employee from notifying any federal agent or
Speaker 5: authority about the release or detention of immigrants in the
Speaker 5: US illegally.
Speaker 4: This will be a curious thing.
Speaker 5: I know that incoming LAPD chief or new LAPD Chief
Speaker 5: Jim McDonald has talked about this and that the LPD
Speaker 5: isn't changing its policies regarding this.
Speaker 4: But it'll be curious to see if there's.
Speaker 5: Any room for movement when it comes to the LAPD's policies.
Speaker 5: This still has to then be voted again, I believe,
Speaker 5: before it is officially signed into the city Charter or
Speaker 5: the city law by mayor baths.
Speaker 3: Would you like your jeopardy question? Are we doing that today?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: Celebrities for one thousand dollars in two thousand and three.
Speaker 1: He began his record setting long run as an SNL
Speaker 1: regular cast member.
Speaker 5: In two thousand and three. Yeah, who is Keenan Thompson? Yes,
Speaker 5: good job, the longest serving castman.
Speaker 1: Crazy right, I did not know that the holidays are
Speaker 1: here at the Disneyland Resort, KFI wants to give you
Speaker 1: the chance to enjoy the wonder, joy and magic of
Speaker 1: the season experience World of Color, Season of Light and

Speaker 1: This is about a World War Two veteran, a local
Speaker 1: one at that, celebrating a milestone and her.
Speaker 4: Service. The details of that when we come back.
Speaker 5: Let me do the quick thing to throw in here,
Speaker 5: only because I just saw this. Alex Jones is now
Speaker 5: fighting back against the sale of the Info Wars website
Speaker 5: to the Onion. He filed a lawsuit in bankruptcy court
Speaker 5: saying that several Sandy Hook families and the apparent company
Speaker 5: of the Onion, called Global Tetrahedron, submitted an illegitimate bid
Speaker 5: for the assets of the Info Wars of site and
Speaker 5: parent company and planned to misuse the intellectual property. Last
Speaker 5: week we told you the Onion said they were going
Speaker 5: to buy it.
Speaker 1: They're going to set it up shady legal type of
Speaker 1: last ditch hail Mary type thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and the fact that he filed it, they were
Speaker 5: already saying it's a win for Alex Jones. Well, you
Speaker 5: and I could file a lawsuit for anything, for any reason,
Speaker 5: at any time. That does not mean you're going to win it.
Speaker 5: It doesn't even just because the court is going to
Speaker 5: hear it doesn't necessarily mean that you're anywhere close to
Speaker 5: a victory. For the first time in more than two decades,
Speaker 5: New York City is under a drought warning. This is
Speaker 5: the last step before a disaster declaration that would impose
Speaker 5: mandatory water restriction.
Speaker 3: We talked about New Jersey.
Speaker 1: Most of New Jersey under drought conditions with those fires.
Speaker 5: They said, unusually dry weather has been plaguing a lot

Speaker 5: They've lowered reservoirs, they've wildfires have been in New York
Speaker 5: and New Jersey states, and accustomed to these fires at
Speaker 5: this time of year.
Speaker 1: Roughly eleven percent of Americans have high cholesterol.
Speaker 4: That sounds low, doesn't it? Eleven percent?
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, cholesterol also gets a bad rap. I mean,
Speaker 5: it's not necessarily good or bad, right, It's not bad
Speaker 5: for it, it's it's it's a necessary part of what's
Speaker 5: in your body.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all. That's all I know, Thank you doctor. Okay,

Speaker 1: with six d backs and the.

Speaker 1: She's from Whittier and she has had a remarkable life.
Speaker 1: She played a pivotal role in World War Two, of course,
Speaker 1: part of the iconic Rosie the Riveter movement. She said,
Speaker 1: we worked on just sections of the airplane, a lot
Speaker 1: of wings. During the war, Jennifer moved from Ohio to California.
Speaker 1: One hundred year old woman named Jennifer. That's interesting, I
Speaker 1: noticed that too. That's a maybe one of the first Jennifer's.
Speaker 1: I don't know about the first one, she said. During
Speaker 1: the Wars, she moved from Ohio to California, and at
Speaker 1: just eighteen years old, she joined the war effort. She

Speaker 1: Lockheed Aircraft Plant in Burbank.
Speaker 5: Could you imagine a puppetry major at NYU at the
Speaker 5: age of eighteen signing up to help the war effort
Speaker 5: in the event that that happened.
Speaker 4: Now, No, that wouldn't happen. Well, some of them would, but.
Speaker 1: I don't think that Jennifer was ever a puppetry fan,
Speaker 1: and certainly not someone who would go to NYU probably,
Speaker 1: she said. The interesting thing was that they had camouflaged
Speaker 1: the entire Lockheed plant with a tarp on top, and
Speaker 1: it looked like a town because they painted fire, hydrants
Speaker 1: and flowers to make it look real, she says, And
Speaker 1: it was really us underneath the tarp working away at
Speaker 1: the rivets.
Speaker 3: She didn't actually see the planes.
Speaker 1: She worked on the wings, as she said, while she
Speaker 1: worked on airplanes, her husband Melvin was serving overseas. He
Speaker 1: was flying in the planes that Rosy built as part
Speaker 1: of an all volunteer group known as the Flying Tigers PS.
Speaker 1: I would watch this movie about this couple, wouldn't you.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: He described that he was a nose turret gunner on
Speaker 1: a B twenty four bomber stationed in China and India.
Speaker 1: The couple met after Melvin returned home from China, and
Speaker 1: they've been together for the past seventy eight years. They
Speaker 1: say it's family that's carried them through. We all get along.
Speaker 1: We don't have any friction in any of our family.
Speaker 1: Everyone on the same page. That sounds like your family
Speaker 1: and Jennifer agreed. Here we are still happy, still healthy,
Speaker 1: one hundred years old.
Speaker 4: My goodness, she.
Speaker 5: Looks great for hundred it really does. I mean, I've
Speaker 5: seen some fifty two year olds that put this ladies anyway,
Speaker 5: she puts fifty two year olds to shame.
Speaker 4: I should say, why did you choose fifty two? Because
Speaker 4: I'm fifty two?
Speaker 3: Are you not yet?
Speaker 4: Not yet?
Speaker 3: What are you rounding up? You're doing that trick.
Speaker 4: It's yeah, so that when it does come, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I start about six months before my birthday of thinking
Speaker 1: of myself a year older, just so it softens blow.
Speaker 4: You had a hard time with the forty I did not.
Speaker 1: You said repeatedly that I was going to have a
Speaker 1: hard time with turning forty. Do you know what that
Speaker 1: does to someone who's turning forty, who's not even thinking
Speaker 1: about turning forty. It makes them sort of thinking about
Speaker 1: how hard it's going to be to turn forty and
Speaker 1: then obsess about it and then give themselves a thyroid
Speaker 1: problem and then.
Speaker 5: Oh wait a minute, so I am somehow the root
Speaker 5: of your thyroid problem.
Speaker 4: Yeah what thyroid?
Speaker 5: Yeah exactly, see, Yeah, that wasn't my fault.
Speaker 3: No breast milk and no thyroid.
Speaker 4: I can't wait to talk to your therapist.
Speaker 3: Like I would ever go to therapy. Nobody needs all that,
Speaker 3: what poor soul needs all that?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, the junk food industry is fighting back against ozimpic.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is fascinating.
Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about we talked pretty regularly about it.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like our John and Ken heads on
Speaker 1: a stick us against the super processed foods industry and
Speaker 1: how they are drug dealers essentially, and that the line
Speaker 1: that sticks out with me from yesterday's story about how
Speaker 1: they trick you into getting you addicted to their ultra
Speaker 1: processed foods was that, you know, we think it's a
Speaker 1: willpower problem, that people are just making bad choices, but
Speaker 1: that they actually have no control over it. That that's
Speaker 1: that's when you're when you have a legit addiction like that,
Speaker 1: how you don't really have control over your choices because
Speaker 1: your brain chemistry has changed. And they've done that, the
Speaker 1: ultra processed food industry has done that. And they've got
Speaker 1: experience in that because they did it with us with tobacco,
Speaker 1: getting everyone hooked on cigarettes by using Hollywood and everything else.
Speaker 5: Well, and these these new geal won drugs ozempic, wigov
Speaker 5: zet bound, et cetera. They mimic the natural hormone, the
Speaker 5: GLP one that slows digestion and signals to your brain
Speaker 5: that you're full. So for a long time, the food
Speaker 5: industry has simply marketed products to people who can't stop eating,
Speaker 5: and then, like we said yesterday, manipulated the ingredients in
Speaker 5: those products, or the packaging of those products, or even
Speaker 5: the sound of those products to take advantage of the
Speaker 5: fact that you, as a human animal, don't want to
Speaker 5: stop eating. It's a protection thing. But now this ozempic,
Speaker 5: wigov zet bound I don't know, revolution, I guess has
Speaker 5: changed that completely because now people don't feel like they
Speaker 5: can't stop eating.
Speaker 4: They do feel full.
Speaker 1: There's a couple anecdotes in this story that we'll talk
Speaker 1: about in The New York Times coming up next. But
Speaker 1: here's a little teas. A guy named Taylor lives up
Speaker 1: in the Bay Area. Used to nurse a sugar addiction,
Speaker 1: but now he says, I get grossed out by candy
Speaker 1: and hostess treats. I love swish charred, He says, I
Speaker 1: eat a lot of kale.
Speaker 4: You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
