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: Members of the NTSB started a couple of days of
Speaker 2: hearings today as they try to get more information about
Speaker 2: the circumstances that led to the door plug blowout on
Speaker 2: a seven thirty seven Max earlier this year. Among those
Speaker 2: expected to appear at these hearings Elizabeth Lund, the Boeing
Speaker 2: senior executive that oversees quality in the commercial airplane division,
Speaker 2: and also Terry George, one of the top executives with
Speaker 2: Spirit Arrow Systems, which is the supplier responsible for manufacturing
Speaker 2: that fuselage that was involved in the accident.
Speaker 1: Well, we've got a fire update here in San Bernardino County.
Speaker 1: Temps of course not slowing down today. This is a
Speaker 1: fire that grew to fifty four acres seventy five percent contained.
Speaker 1: That's a good number, that's a great containment number. That
Speaker 1: means they've basically shut this thing down.
Speaker 2: And there were what I'm amazed at is the way
Speaker 2: this thing exploded yesterday that we were going to be
Speaker 2: talking about it a lot more today. But quick work,
Speaker 2: especially considering as one hundred and nine degrees I think
Speaker 2: at two forty when the fire was. When the fire started,
Speaker 2: there were homes that were destroyed. A family's dogs were
Speaker 2: killed in this fire. One person taken into custody but
Speaker 2: was later released. So at this point they're saying they
Speaker 2: don't know exactly what did cause the fire. Of course,
Speaker 2: the biggest fire in the state continues to be the
Speaker 2: Park fire up in northern California. Started in Chico and
Speaker 2: then grew north from there four hundred and fourteen thousand
Speaker 2: acres right now four hundred and fourteen thousand acres and
Speaker 2: is thirty four percent contained. The biggest concern right now
Speaker 2: up there is an area that is just west of
Speaker 2: where Highways thirty two and thirty six come together. They
Speaker 2: said that that is where most of the active fire
Speaker 2: is and they're concerned about people who live in that area.
Speaker 1: So I am really conflicted, and we're going to talk
Speaker 1: about it later. Super conflicted. Over the viral gymnastics podium picture.
Speaker 1: At first, I thought, wow, that's nice women power lifting
Speaker 1: each other up right, that's celebrating, celebrating each other. The
Speaker 1: picture is of Simone Biles and Jordan Chile's and they
Speaker 1: are kind of like bowing down to the gold medalist
Speaker 1: Rebecca and rage from that.
Speaker 2: You gave her a very exotic name.
Speaker 1: I haven't heard it out, yeld it's child's okay, well whatever,
Speaker 1: So there Jacob in there, he's like women's gymnastics and
Speaker 1: women's volleyball guru.
Speaker 3: He's obsessed with all the women's sports.
Speaker 1: He's like, I can't believe the Chinese women lost the
Speaker 1: volleyball match.
Speaker 3: I can't believe it. They're the best. I'm like, what
Speaker 3: are you talking about? This is a weird I.
Speaker 2: Think he dumped it said, that's how No, I'm kidding.
Speaker 3: It's just a weird hill for him to die on.
Speaker 3: Like he's so serious.
Speaker 1: It's such a stickler, like he would hit up the
Speaker 1: talk back feature probably and correct me on that hill
Speaker 1: that he's dying on with women's sports.
Speaker 3: Anyway.
Speaker 1: So it's a picture of the two Americans bowing down
Speaker 1: to the Brazilian gold medallist, and I feel like it's nice,
Speaker 1: and then my competitive streak that runs down to my
Speaker 1: bones gets really upset, like as a competitor.
Speaker 3: You lost, and that it drives me insane.
Speaker 2: It goes back to it goes back to the shores.
Speaker 2: He cut that I played a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 2: which is not that he likes to win. He doesn't
Speaker 2: hate to lose, yes, like you should hate to lose,
Speaker 2: yes more than you like to win.
Speaker 1: I forget which NFL player wrote something to the effect
Speaker 1: of this is absolutely disgusting. I'm not there, but I
Speaker 1: am at a place of I'm a super competitor, which
Speaker 1: is terrible because I've never been good at anything in
Speaker 1: my life. But I very would much like to hate
Speaker 1: to lose at that level.
Speaker 2: I don't care because I think there's an assumption that
Speaker 2: these people hate each other, and there's so especially in
Speaker 2: a world like gymnastics, they see each other all the time.
Speaker 3: It's true at all the competitions.
Speaker 2: All the time, and many of them, even if they're
Speaker 2: competing for Brazil or Norway or Portugal, they train in
Speaker 2: the United States, a lot of them.
Speaker 3: Let me pose it to you this way.
Speaker 1: Okay, say there's a competition at KFI for the best
Speaker 1: talk show and you and I came in third. Okay,
Speaker 1: There's there's Conway at the top, and then there's John
Speaker 1: and then there's us. And I would never bow down
Speaker 1: to those guys for beating me in that competition, like
Speaker 1: that's would you?
Speaker 3: Would you do this to Conway and John?
Speaker 2: You you have to hate to lose?
Speaker 1: Yeah, because that Yes, thank you. I'm glad I got
Speaker 1: you on my side. But you went into it not caring,
Speaker 1: and now I made you care. They not like us,
Speaker 1: They not like us.
Speaker 2: I just feel like, I mean, in a situation like
Speaker 2: that where they are fred, I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 2: they may not.
Speaker 1: We're friends. We're friends with Conway and John. I'm not
Speaker 1: bowing down to them for beating me in any sort
Speaker 1: of competition. That's never going to happen. Get out of here.
Speaker 1: You can, you can, you can champion what other people do.
Speaker 1: You can appreciate it, you can respect it.
Speaker 3: Just beat me. I'm not going to do that. I
Speaker 3: don't know.
Speaker 1: I know it's a weirdhill to die on. I'm like Jacob, now, chilas.
Speaker 3: Chils listen, I've been doing a lot of babble.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's starting all right. Up next that iconic Marilyn
Speaker 2: Monroe statue in Palm Springs. They're gonna move it.
Speaker 3: We'll continue, uh cogazone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's see that meme that Jacob sent me. Imagine
Speaker 1: the Olympics, but instead of it being world class athletes,
Speaker 1: just random people who just get selected, Like you get
Speaker 1: a letter informing you've you've been selected for the national
Speaker 1: gymnastics team, and you just have to do it. It'd
Speaker 1: be so much more entertaining. And that cracked me up.
Speaker 1: And then when I saw the warning from doctors yesterday
Speaker 1: was a headline that you should not try the gymnastics
Speaker 1: moves you see at the Olympics on your own, and
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, Darwinism. If you want to try
Speaker 1: a floor routine and you break your neck, that's because
Speaker 1: you're a dumb ass.
Speaker 2: Yeah, double layout all by yourself and then your neck.
Speaker 2: Just yes, they make it look easy.
Speaker 1: It's not.
Speaker 2: Well, you were talking about putting out some masking tape
Speaker 2: out here and doing a little.
Speaker 3: Balance a dumb ass.
Speaker 2: They wouldn't count. We were talking earlier about the cookya,
Speaker 2: the cocaine that blew on shore during the Hurricane Debbie
Speaker 2: when it made landfall in Florida, and.
Speaker 4: Shannon, I love you guys.
Speaker 2: Period poverty, mastrating youth.
Speaker 4: Shannon, you are so right. I have two sons. They
Speaker 4: would be throwing those things at each other. Now. Picture
Speaker 4: an entire gym class. Oh my gosh, have a great.
Speaker 1: Day, guys.
Speaker 5: Hey, Gary and Shannon. The fact that Shannon has put
Speaker 5: that much thought into how teenage boys would torture each
Speaker 5: other with female products makes me real glad that Shannon
Speaker 5: was not born a guy, because that's without even thinking.
Speaker 5: If she had time to put thought into it, it
Speaker 5: would be bad. Take care bye.
Speaker 2: There was another guy who the talkback that said that
Speaker 2: he would take a pound.
Speaker 3: He would take a pound of the coke? Awesome?
Speaker 2: Did he wants to do some sort of a dead
Speaker 2: drop somewhere?
Speaker 1: And so all right, Well, I've got seven sixty nine
Speaker 1: more pounds to go.
Speaker 2: How much you charge it per pound?
Speaker 3: I don't know how many thousands.
Speaker 2: I mean, if it was seventy pounds, was worth about
Speaker 2: a million bucks.
Speaker 3: Let me look it up, but I'm not going to try.
Speaker 1: I'd probably break it down into lesser quantities than pounds.
Speaker 1: I mean, how often you're gonna get somebody gonna buy
Speaker 1: a pound of cocaine.
Speaker 2: They're a little gonna blow you away. I have no idea.
Speaker 1: It's not that that's like real drug cartel stuff. I
Speaker 1: do not if you were to buy some blow off me,
Speaker 1: it would probably be not even register on a scale. Probably,
Speaker 1: I don't know how much he would do. I don't
Speaker 1: know how much it would take for you.
Speaker 2: It takes, I don't know. That's the gigant. Marilyn Monroe
Speaker 2: statue and Palm Springs is moving. It's not disappearing. But
Speaker 2: the twenty six foot tall commemoration of Marilyn Monroe from
Speaker 2: the seven year itch where her skirt is blowing up
Speaker 2: has drawn the ire of locals and visiting critics alike
Speaker 2: since it showed up again in twenty twenty one. Why
Speaker 2: would anybody, Why would anybody get exercised about something like it?
Speaker 1: Kind of an eye sore for me. It just looks
Speaker 1: kind of kitchy, right, it's tacky and it's spring, but
Speaker 1: it's Palm Springs. But this is the knock. They say
Speaker 1: it's sexist. Okay, uh okay.
Speaker 2: One of the issues also is that the way it
Speaker 2: currently sits or stands, I suppose in the middle of
Speaker 2: downtown park there and Palm Springs means that she's facing
Speaker 2: a way from the Palm Springs Heart Museum.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: And when you face away from something, do you know
Speaker 2: what you're showing? The people back there?
Speaker 1: So I'm not familiar with the seven year itch? Is
Speaker 1: that an anti gay type of a situation?
Speaker 2: What the movie?
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's it about?
Speaker 2: I have no idea.
Speaker 3: The last thing I googled it how much is a
Speaker 3: pound of cocaine costs?
Speaker 2: Okay, so let's look at I assume it's the old
Speaker 2: trope of after seven years of marriage, you get itchy
Speaker 2: for an affair. I don't know. I'm gonna tell you,
Speaker 2: I'm not a huge nineteen fifty five American cinema.
Speaker 1: In the midst of a summer heat wave, New Yorker
Speaker 1: Richard ships his wife, Helen, and their son off to
Speaker 1: Maine for a vacation. Left alone to work back in Manhattan,
Speaker 1: he encounters a gorgeous blonde model, Marilyn, who has moved
Speaker 1: into the apartment upstairs, and becomes immediately infatuated. While pondering infidelity,
Speaker 1: Richard dreams of his beautiful new neighbor, but will his
Speaker 1: fantasies about her become a reality. I didn't know if
Speaker 1: it was one of those things where, you know, one
Speaker 1: of those movies where somebody dress and drag or something,
Speaker 1: because one of the critics said, one of the critics
Speaker 1: said this, they described the return of the statue as
Speaker 1: an anti queer slur lifted high onto a civic pedestal
Speaker 1: in one of America's least likely places.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I would. Maybe someone's reading into
Speaker 2: the hole. She was a blonde bombshell, the ultimate celebration
Speaker 2: of heterosexual I don't know. I don't know why anybody
Speaker 2: would consider her, or that.
Speaker 3: That's a bridge. That's a far bridge to cross.
Speaker 2: Listen. People get really entrenched in stuff like that. There
Speaker 2: were people who were concerned that kids on field trips
Speaker 2: to the Palm Springs Art Museum would be looking at
Speaker 2: Marilyn Monroe's but when they walked into the museum.
Speaker 1: HM, I just want to point out one thing here.
Speaker 1: This is the outfit. This is the get up that
Speaker 1: you wore when you did the strip tease at Conway's
Speaker 1: birthday party at Morongo. Yeah, same Halter dress, same heels,
Speaker 1: same lipstick.
Speaker 2: Right is it's what's your point?
Speaker 3: It was a good fun memory.
Speaker 2: They could do a twenty six foot tall sculpture of
Speaker 2: me and my butt facing.
Speaker 3: It was a fond memory totally, So they will be.
Speaker 2: Moving this thing. They said that their trinut Turk is
Speaker 2: a fashion designer. Among those who led the effort to
Speaker 2: get the statue relocated raised more than one hundred and
Speaker 2: fifteen thousand dollars. Not that that couldn't have gone to
Speaker 2: some other good cause to move this statue, she said,
Speaker 2: there are a lot of details that yet to be resolved,
Speaker 2: and they're only moving it within that one and a
Speaker 2: half half acre park, so they haven't said exactly where
Speaker 2: they will move it, but apparently they a turn it
Speaker 2: so her backside is not facing the front door.
Speaker 3: Jen says, your blow sales strategy is all wrong.
Speaker 1: You want to sell in higher quantities because a circle
Speaker 1: of people who can be traced back to you needs
Speaker 1: to be super small, and you ensure that by selling
Speaker 1: higher quantities to as few people as possible. You don't
Speaker 1: want a bunch of goons out there knowing your gig.
Speaker 3: I'm smart.
Speaker 1: I feel like when I disappoint you, I have to
Speaker 1: double down on it. When I see the look of disappointment,
Speaker 1: just keep pushing it.
Speaker 2: All the way through. Don't worry about it. Where did
Speaker 2: this go? Jacob? I did it one? I screw up
Speaker 2: one time.
Speaker 6: Oh my god, Shannon, you are on a roll today
Speaker 6: between the pyramids in the boys bathroom, your pyramid pads.
Speaker 6: You're trying to sell seventy pounds of cocaine, and then
Speaker 6: you don't want to lose anybody. I'd hate to play
Speaker 6: some board games with you, for God's sake. I love
Speaker 6: the show.
Speaker 4: You guys have a good day.
Speaker 3: I am the worst to play any sort of board
Speaker 3: game with.
Speaker 2: I can't imagine.
Speaker 1: So the last game I played was with friends. It
Speaker 1: was scrabble, and it was with friends, Matt and his
Speaker 1: wife and Jokeuan, and the game had just started and
Speaker 1: you flipped the table and the women were just talking
Speaker 1: back and forth and you know when you're playing scrabble.
Speaker 2: Hold on a second.
Speaker 1: Well, Matt was not involved, he was working on his
Speaker 1: own word or whatever.
Speaker 3: When Joe and Carrie.
Speaker 1: Were just like my back and forth, back and forth,
Speaker 1: having a conversation like normal people do. And I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: first of all, you guys need to shut the f up.
Speaker 1: And that's when I knew I can't play. Like my
Speaker 1: husband hates playing games with me, hates playing scrabble.
Speaker 3: He'll do it like once a year on my birthday.
Speaker 1: But that's it, and it really crystallize the point of
Speaker 1: why I cannot be around anybody else playing any sort
Speaker 1: of games. It's embarrassing. So that gentleman was correct, but
Speaker 1: at least you acknowledge it. Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2: Freddy Freeman is back with the Dodgers.
Speaker 7: No one should have to go through this, especially a
Speaker 7: three year old.
Speaker 3: Oh God.
Speaker 2: And the good thing is when he held a news
Speaker 2: conference yesterday, pregame to kind of explain his family situation.
Speaker 2: He said, well, I can be here because things are better.
Speaker 7: It's a good thing I'm here because that means things
Speaker 7: are trending better.
Speaker 2: There is a there is an awful story that's attached
Speaker 2: to why he wasn't with the Dodgers for a few days.
Speaker 2: His son, his three year old son, Max, is recovering
Speaker 2: from Galame Barret syndrome, rare neurological condition in which the
Speaker 2: immune system actually attacks the nerves. And he described what's
Speaker 2: happening back on the twenty second morning of the twenty
Speaker 2: second Max woke up and had a limb and they
Speaker 2: said that as they were trying to figure out exactly
Speaker 2: what was going on, by the end of that day
Speaker 2: he couldn't walk. Now, just absolutely, I can't imagine the
Speaker 2: fear when your kid complains about a limp and then
Speaker 2: it progresses too. I can't walk. This was on the
Speaker 2: July twenty second, and they said originally it was diagnosed
Speaker 2: as transient cinevitis. On Wednesday, Freddie Freeman's playing in a
Speaker 2: home game against the Giants. Max had stopped eating and
Speaker 2: drinking and they took him to the emergency room. They
Speaker 2: still thought it was transient cinevitis and they recommended tylanol.
Speaker 2: That would have been three thirty in the morning. So
Speaker 2: he plays a game against the Giants. He says about
Speaker 2: an hour as sleep, kind of makes a crack about
Speaker 2: I can't believe I got a hit that day. And
Speaker 2: the next day they are going to travel to Houston
Speaker 2: or after the game, they're going to travel to Houston
Speaker 2: to start an eight game, three city trip, and he
Speaker 2: calls his wife says, I don't know if I should
Speaker 2: be leaving right now. Something feels off, something doesn't feel.
Speaker 7: Even they thought it was transition.
Speaker 6: Might still so.
Speaker 2: Leaves a little bit after the game.
Speaker 7: Obviously, I didn't see anybody on Thursday, and we flew.
Speaker 7: I called Chelse and FaceTime. I said, I don't know
Speaker 7: if I should be leaving right now. It's just something
Speaker 7: was off. It just felt wrong to leave, but we
Speaker 7: I just like, we'll be okay. So Friday, we had
Speaker 7: a pediatrician appointment at two forty five.
Speaker 4: So.
Speaker 7: Most of some of you guys saw us, that saw
Speaker 7: me there. I did my early work, I got ready
Speaker 7: for the game.
Speaker 2: And he's talking about in Houston when they were starting
Speaker 2: that series there.
Speaker 7: I disappeared into the clubous because I was on FaceTime
Speaker 7: for that and right when they took Max into that pediatrician. Thankfully,
Speaker 7: that pediatrician said you need to go to the hospital now,
Speaker 7: this is not a transient cinevitis. They were ready to
Speaker 7: call an ambulance for him because they didn't think he
Speaker 7: was gonna be able to breathe that long. What God,
Speaker 7: So I immediately ran and told Scott to help me
Speaker 7: get home. Doc was everyone was so gracious, but they
Speaker 7: immediately got up to the hospital's then emergency room and
Speaker 7: within two and a half hours he had have been
Speaker 7: a later in the proulysis usually doesn't take that quickly
Speaker 7: to move up your body, so it starts in your
Speaker 7: feet and goes up. Within four days, it reached his shoulders,
Speaker 7: which is affecting his diaphragm and breathing. So I'm at
Speaker 7: an airport trying to fly home, my god, and getting
Speaker 7: updates like it was absolutely awful. But I can imagine
Speaker 7: my wife, my family being there and seeing all this
Speaker 7: happening to your son. She watched everything in person.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 7: By seven thirty he was completely betterlated, feeding tubes and everything.
Speaker 7: So I walked in and out ten o'clock.
Speaker 2: He kind of loses it after that. I mean, he
Speaker 2: has a hard time describing when he finally got into
Speaker 2: the hospital room late that night, would have been about
Speaker 2: ten thirty. He said, he walked in and you see
Speaker 2: a three.
Speaker 3: Year old I can't even fully.
Speaker 2: Intubated, I mean, hooked up with hoses and everything.
Speaker 1: Means, he said, I know Dodgers fans wouldn't like this,
Speaker 1: but I'd gladly strike out with the bases loaded in
Speaker 1: the bottom of the ninth inning in Game seven of
Speaker 1: the World Series three million times in a row. Then
Speaker 1: to see that again, well put you know he lost
Speaker 1: his mom when he was ten.
Speaker 2: I vaguely do remember that story. When he came to
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, I remember.
Speaker 3: That encouraging news.
Speaker 1: Though they started intravenious treatments using donated plasma that contains
Speaker 1: healthy antibodies to stop the harmful antibodies from damaging the nerves.
Speaker 1: He has responded very well to two rounds of that.
Speaker 2: They said that his condition. Max's condition improved so quickly
Speaker 2: that within forty eight hours of that full body paralysis
Speaker 2: that eventually put him in the hospital, he was extabated
Speaker 2: from his breathing tube, taken off the ventilator, and things
Speaker 2: are great, I mean, and Freddy Freeman was able to
Speaker 2: return to a team that was glad to have him
Speaker 2: last night for sure. But I don't know if you
Speaker 2: saw a moment where they're playing the Phillies and Bryce Harper,
Speaker 2: the first basement for the Phillies gives him a big
Speaker 2: hut when Freddy Freeman is up at first base.
Speaker 1: Well, it was bottom of the first when he came
Speaker 1: up to the plate, and it was a standing ovation
Speaker 1: with everybody on their feet at Dodger Stadium, and it lasted,
Speaker 1: and you know, and he took off his helmet, he
Speaker 1: waved the crowd, he put his hand over his heart.
Speaker 3: And then had his at bat.
Speaker 1: But it was a really class act moment for Dodger Stadium,
Speaker 1: for the Phillies, and just a nice show of support.
Speaker 3: He made me cry.
Speaker 2: Well, maybe you think about that next time you play
Speaker 2: a board game with someone. Wow. Okay, for a little
Speaker 2: bit more humanity to the time.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: The big news, of course, today, though, Tim Walls is
Speaker 1: headed to Pennsylvania for his first rally with Vice President
Speaker 1: Harris as her running mate. She told the Minnesota governor
Speaker 1: the news during a video call this morning on x
Speaker 1: He says, it's the honor of a lifetime to join
Speaker 1: Harrison her campaign for the White House.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And I would also say, listen, if somebody came
Speaker 2: to me and we're like, hey, we would be really
Speaker 2: considering you to be the vice presidential candidate, I would say, oh,
Speaker 2: that is an honor.
Speaker 3: Sure.
Speaker 1: No, you would say no, absolutely, I thought that you
Speaker 1: were all about serving the country.
Speaker 2: In the course of four hours since this guy's name
Speaker 2: was announced as the vice presidential running mate, we have
Speaker 2: to know everything about him. Yeah, and we're going to
Speaker 2: find out even more about him.
Speaker 3: I don't know what would they find out about you.
Speaker 2: I don't know. That's the problem. There are probably things
Speaker 2: that I got dog food asked and answered at that point.
Speaker 2: But for other people who haven't already heard the story.
Speaker 1: That you got drunk and storm the stage of a
Speaker 1: friend at a comedy club.
Speaker 2: Also asked. An answered, but again, if that's new to people,
Speaker 2: I mean, thankfully, my parents are constantly they don't have
Speaker 2: to hear all the dirt. But if it's new to people,
Speaker 2: then they can d I mean, you know, they could
Speaker 2: drum it up and make it a bigger thing than
Speaker 2: they Actually, we've.
Speaker 1: Talked repeatedly about all of your dalliances on the air,
Speaker 1: long before your parents departed.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 3: They knew just how much of an embarrassment you are.
Speaker 2: Oh, that's a sign. A judge has ruled that Google's
Speaker 2: search engine has been illegally exploiting its dominance to squash
Speaker 2: competition and stifle innovation. A district judge said, after having
Speaker 2: carefully considered in wigh the witness testimony in evidence, the
Speaker 2: court reach is the following conclusion. Google is a monopolist
Speaker 2: and it has acted as one to maintain that monopoly
Speaker 2: two hundred and seventy seven page ruling. Right now, Google
Speaker 2: enjoys Where did it go? Google enjoys an eighty nine
Speaker 2: point two percent share of the market for general search
Speaker 2: services that increases to almost ninety five percent on mobile devices.
Speaker 1: Stocks are surging on Wall Street after yesterday's debacle. The
Speaker 1: Dow currently up five ninety four. The major average lost
Speaker 1: over one thousand points yesterday.
Speaker 2: There was a story that you brought up that I
Speaker 2: thought was an interesting reaction. This is from the world
Speaker 2: of Olympic Gymnastics, and Simone Biles and Jordan Childs won
Speaker 2: silver and bronze respectively, right or did.
Speaker 3: She get Yes, Simone got the silver.
Speaker 2: Simone got the silver, and Jordan got the bronze, and
Speaker 2: they turned and bowed basically to Rebecca Andrase from Brazil
Speaker 2: who won the gold. And the picture is of the
Speaker 2: two of the two Americans on either side sort of
Speaker 2: bowing down, and Rebecca's got her arms raised up in
Speaker 2: you know, a championship gold medal winning stance because you
Speaker 2: know she won the gold medal.
Speaker 1: The nice moment of game recognized game. I guess you
Speaker 1: could say women supporting women, but not everybody has the
Speaker 1: same feeling about it.
Speaker 4: No, Shannon, you sound very immature regarding the three women
Speaker 4: that were on the podium where the other two bowed down.
Speaker 4: Do you not realize that number one, they're all tight.
Speaker 4: Number two, the Brazilian had battled through three acl tears
Speaker 4: and for the first time in history, it was three
Speaker 4: black women on the podium for that particular sport, and
Speaker 4: that had never happened. So that's what that moment was about.
Speaker 4: Got it cool?
Speaker 1: You could have just stopped that message with Shannon, you
Speaker 1: sound so immature, and I would have covered it.
Speaker 3: I realized that.
Speaker 1: But I feel like I've been completely honest with realizing
Speaker 1: that it's ridiculous. But I'm still honest with my feelings.
Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with that gut reaction to it. I mean,
Speaker 2: your gut reaction is not it's not the well thought
Speaker 2: out reaction. That's why it's a gut reaction to it.
Speaker 2: So that I don't you don't have to feel bad
Speaker 2: about that.
Speaker 8: Shame on you. They are not bowing down as what
Speaker 8: you think bowing down would be.
Speaker 2: It's not bowing down.
Speaker 8: It's given respect. Some people give respect by naughty nearly
Speaker 8: all different kinds of ways, and they hang around these
Speaker 8: people and they have different cultures, and the culture is
Speaker 8: not the same little country ass culture. I guess you
Speaker 8: grew up all because other people have different cultures.
Speaker 3: Just respect little country ass culture.
Speaker 2: And there's something I mean, I I I completely understand
Speaker 2: your gut reaction to it. I don't agree with it.
Speaker 2: I think it I thought it was because in the
Speaker 2: previous events that we've seen the Americans go up against
Speaker 2: the Brazilians, specifically Simone Biles go up against Rebecca and

Speaker 2: the time like, I'm tired of compete it as.
Speaker 1: I want to compete against her anymore. Great, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was sort of that friendly, like recognized game.
Speaker 2: But I don't even think it was. It was just
Speaker 2: the goofiness of it. I mean it was. It was
Speaker 2: still this like goofy, like oh you finally, I mean,
Speaker 2: Simone Biles can say she has the street cred to go, oh,
Speaker 2: look you have how many gold medals? Oh you have
Speaker 2: a gold medal? Now that's cute. I'm sorry, but the
Speaker 2: nine that are around my neck are weighing me down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I think you know. I my
Speaker 1: gut instinct was, wow, that's nice. It's women supporting women.

Speaker 9: photo of the gymnast bowing to the gold medalist in meditation.
Speaker 9: There's a thing called sympathetic joy, and that is taking
Speaker 9: joy and happiness in the success of others. It's especially
Speaker 9: difficult when you're competing with those people, but it can
Speaker 9: actually increase your own happiness and your own satisfaction in life.
Speaker 9: So take a look at it.
Speaker 1: Huh, what's the opposite of that? What's it called again,
Speaker 1: sympathetic joy? What's the opposite unsympathetic?
Speaker 2: Will you take pleasure someone else's sad?
Speaker 1: No, I'm just kidding. You're right, and I should, and
Speaker 1: I would be a happier person. And I'm going to
Speaker 1: work on this sympathetic joy. I will take a mindful
Speaker 1: moment later and think about it. Snoop Dog, by the way,
