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: It's time for swamping.
Speaker 1: Thank god.
Speaker 3: I'm a politicians, I'm a cheat and a liar, and
Speaker 3: when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipop.
Speaker 4: Here we got the real problem is that our leaders
Speaker 4: are done.
Speaker 2: The other side never quits.
Speaker 1: So what I'm not going anywhere so that.
Speaker 2: You train the squat, I can imagine what can be
Speaker 2: and be unburdened by what has been.
Speaker 5: You know, Americans have always been going a president, but
Speaker 5: they're not stupid.
Speaker 3: A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 2: Have the people voted for you with not swamp watch,
Speaker 2: They're all counting on them.
Speaker 1: The Governor hot Wheels thing has picked up a little steam.
Speaker 2: You're the first person who told me about this.
Speaker 1: The first time I heard about it, and then it
Speaker 1: kind of was a snowball down the Mountain Representative Jasmine
Speaker 1: Crockett refusing to apologize for calling Governor Greg Abbott governor
Speaker 1: hot Wheels. He refused to apologize multiple times in an
Speaker 1: interview with Fox Business before growing frustrated and ending the conversation.
Speaker 1: She put out a statement regarding her comment, but did
Speaker 1: not include an apology.
Speaker 6: Well, and to give you an idea of how broken
Speaker 6: politicians are when it comes to just being human about something,
Speaker 6: she could say something like I made a joke. I
Speaker 6: feel bad about it. I shouldn't have made fun of him.
Speaker 6: He's in a wheelchair, and I apologize. It's that simple
Speaker 6: move on never comes up again. She says, I do
Speaker 6: have a statement. Why would I apologize when I put
Speaker 6: out a statement.
Speaker 1: Fox Business reporter Hillary Vaughn said, but you didn't apologize
Speaker 1: for calling him governor hot wheels when he gets around
Speaker 1: in a wheelchair. You don't understand how that's offensive to people.
Speaker 1: And she says, I don't understand how many times you
Speaker 1: need me to repeat this to you. And Vaughn went
Speaker 1: on to say, right, but why don't you apologize? And
Speaker 1: she says, I put on a statement. Anchor says they
Speaker 1: didn't have an apology in it. Why don't you feel
Speaker 1: bad making fun of someone in a wheelchair?
Speaker 2: She said, well, I'm done. I'm done here. I'm done
Speaker 2: with this demo.
Speaker 6: I might have done this to Republicans for a long time,
Speaker 6: and now that she steps up and says something offensive
Speaker 6: or silly or hurtful, she can't apologize for it. I mean, listen,
Speaker 6: it was it was a silly comment she kind of made.
Speaker 6: She made it in Jess. I don't think Greg Abbott
Speaker 6: gives two tell you about what she says.
Speaker 1: I thought it was funny in the moment. I tell
Speaker 1: it like it is. I know he's not uptight about it.
Speaker 1: This is I didn't even know Greg Abbott was in
Speaker 1: a wheelchair, but he was paralyzed. His legs were paralyzed
Speaker 1: on a running a tree fell on him. Oh, it
Speaker 1: says a running accident in eighty four.
Speaker 2: A tree fell on him. Why I don't go running.
Speaker 6: That's one of the big things that happened yesterday was
Speaker 6: NPR and PBS went before a House committee and they
Speaker 6: were talking. There was the House Committee on Government Efficiency.
Speaker 2: This was hilarious. This was pretty crazy.
Speaker 6: Jim Jordan at one point was asking a representative from
Speaker 6: NPR about bias in NPR. Now, if you've listened to
Speaker 6: NPR anytime in the last I don't know, forty years,
Speaker 6: they have a political bent to them. An it's an
Speaker 6: undeniable regardless of which side you're on. It's an undeniable
Speaker 6: political bent. People who are Democrats who listen to it
Speaker 6: know that, right, and it's not you know, you can
Speaker 6: have an audience for that, but you just you shouldn't
Speaker 6: be government funded if you're going to be on one
Speaker 6: side the entire time?
Speaker 3: Is MPR biased?
Speaker 7: Congressman, I have never seen any instance of never of
Speaker 7: pro political bias determining editorial decisions.
Speaker 6: Now in the DC area editorial positions at MPR, he said,
Speaker 6: he found eighty seven registered Democrats, zero Republicans.
Speaker 3: Is that accurate?
Speaker 7: We do not track the numbers or the voter registration
Speaker 7: eighty seven to zero, and you're not biased. I think
Speaker 7: that is concerning if those numbers are accurate.
Speaker 2: Eighty seven eighty seven regulation.
Speaker 1: She said, I do think that's concerning, right, But that
Speaker 1: would be a shock to you. I have no idea
Speaker 1: what she can do about it. I don't know about her.
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about her. Is she just a
Speaker 1: journalist or is she an activist? What's her deal? Jeff Bezos.
Speaker 6: When The Washington Post got similar criticism, Jeff Bezos at
Speaker 6: least said, Hey, we're going to do better to reach
Speaker 6: out to specific voices on the right that we haven't
Speaker 6: heard from in the past, and we're going to give
Speaker 6: them space in our newspaper to do so. That follows
Speaker 6: on what the owner of the La Times had said,
Speaker 6: Patrick Songshong had said, we're going to introduce and include
Speaker 6: more right leaning voices so that our newspaper doesn't just
Speaker 6: become a left wing rag and then lose its voice,
Speaker 6: lose it's a important place in our society's.
Speaker 2: It was a she was on the hot seat. That's
Speaker 2: a good part. Cars tariff's.
Speaker 6: President Trump imposed a twenty five percent tariff on all
Speaker 6: automobiles that are not built in the United State.
Speaker 8: On the car.
Speaker 9: Tariffs, how do you assure that a car coming into
Speaker 9: the country is fully built? Could have an automaker in
Speaker 9: Germany say leave the tires off a car.
Speaker 4: We're going to have very strong policing, and it's pretty
Speaker 4: easy to do. If parts are made in America and
Speaker 4: a car isn't, those parts are not going to be
Speaker 4: text or tariff, and we'll have very strong policing as
Speaker 4: far as that's concerned.
Speaker 9: How are you sure Americans then that this will not
Speaker 9: cause a long term increase in prices?
Speaker 4: Well, look, I think We're going to have a market
Speaker 4: the likes of which nobody's ever seen before or not
Speaker 4: in this country. You know, we had the best market
Speaker 4: ever in my first term. It was the strongest market ever,
Speaker 4: the best economy ever. And I think you're going to
Speaker 4: have I think this blows it away.
Speaker 6: We talked about this earlier in the show. This is
Speaker 6: one of those things where he's putting maximum pressure on
Speaker 6: this industry, the foreign car makers, in an effort to
Speaker 6: see what squeezes out the sides. He did it with Mexico,
Speaker 6: he did it with Canada, he did it with Europe.
Speaker 6: He's done it before, and the his point is to
Speaker 6: see what kind of a deal he can he can
Speaker 6: get from automakers.
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see how this works because it goes
Speaker 1: both ways. We have import automakers that have factories here
Speaker 1: in the United States, right, Mercedes Benz in Alabama. How
Speaker 1: does this impact them.
Speaker 6: If the we'll see that's the thing is, and that's
Speaker 6: what the question from the reporter was. So Mercedes Benz
Speaker 6: can make cars here in Alabama, but they get a
Speaker 6: bunch of their parts from overseas. Now are those individual
Speaker 6: parts then tariff at a twenty five percent rate, and
Speaker 6: then what do they do. Do you just have minuscule
Speaker 6: pieces and bits of your car that are that are
Speaker 6: subject to take and dried.
Speaker 2: It's not clear, No, not clear at all. All Right.
Speaker 1: Bill Gates has predicted the death of every job thanks
Speaker 1: to AI, except for these three.
Speaker 2: We'll tell you when we come back.
Speaker 10: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 10: AM six forty.
Speaker 6: Bill Gates. Okay, we've talked about artificial intelligence. There have
Speaker 6: been different stories, theologies, theories about what is going to
Speaker 6: happen when artificial intelligence takes us over and turns us
Speaker 6: into just meat bags for their private use.
Speaker 2: And it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: You know, you got to write that down on a
Speaker 1: post it and leave it here for John meat bags
Speaker 1: for their private use.
Speaker 2: I think that he would get some mileage out of that.
Speaker 6: Bill Gates went on the Tonight Show a couple of
Speaker 6: weeks ago and said that AI would replace humans for
Speaker 6: most things. And we've seen some very frighteningly good, very
Speaker 6: close to human things that AI can do. If you've
Speaker 6: used chat ept or groc or any one of these,
Speaker 6: you know, large language models and ask questions. They are incredible.
Speaker 6: The technology that it is able to spit out on
Speaker 6: the back end of that is just it's unbelievable. And
Speaker 6: then you've got video that is created entirely in AI,
Speaker 6: and you've got audio now that is created entirely in AI,
Speaker 6: and you've got the combination thereof it seems like there
Speaker 6: aren't very many jobs that AI wouldn't be able to do,
Speaker 6: except he says, there are three things that AI will
Speaker 6: never be able to do good as well as I
Speaker 6: was gonna say, Americans as well as people. And the
Speaker 6: first one, the first one is the one that is
Speaker 6: the craziest to me. The first one is coding that
Speaker 6: they and I know a lot of people that are
Speaker 6: in that business now use AI for their coding. He
Speaker 6: had said that computers won't be able to innovate when
Speaker 6: it comes to the code that is written to control
Speaker 6: the computers. So there's one thing that's sort of us
Speaker 6: being able to keep our hand on the leash of
Speaker 6: the wild animal that is artificial intelligence. The second one experts.
Speaker 2: This one.
Speaker 6: I thought it would be one sort of the medical
Speaker 6: field where there's so much going on that it would
Speaker 6: take something like AI to wrap its head around, how
Speaker 6: do we develop new emerging technologies in order to harness
Speaker 6: the energy that exists, to not rely on fossil fuels
Speaker 6: as much as we have in the past, because we
Speaker 6: know there's a finite amount. How do you increase technology
Speaker 6: to capture more energy from the sun or the wind,
Speaker 6: or vibrations in the earth or whatever. But he says
Speaker 6: that it's going to take that same human innovation. It
Speaker 6: seems like that's the kind of the The key is
Speaker 6: the innovation the creativity that would exist in humanity that
Speaker 6: does not exist in AI.
Speaker 1: Okay, give me the third one and see if I'm
Speaker 1: going to get at that biology. Nope, Biologists specifically those
Speaker 1: that investigate the study of life, how it comes.
Speaker 2: Able to do that well?
Speaker 1: And his point, give them a of biologies science, you
Speaker 1: get them a set give them somebody a set of information,
Speaker 1: set of facts and data that you would think that
Speaker 1: they would come to the same types of conclusion.
Speaker 2: But it's all stuff.
Speaker 6: And I mean he again talks about that human innovation
Speaker 6: and creativity, that's all stuff in the past, because AI
Speaker 6: only knows what happened before and does not, according to him,
Speaker 6: have the capacity to come up with creative ways to
Speaker 6: look for. I don't know what biologists do, but they biologize, right.
Speaker 1: Well, see, and that's what we've been talking about. Not
Speaker 1: to make it about us, but the creativity doesn't seem
Speaker 1: to be there in terms of Hollywood type entertainer type things.
Speaker 6: You could write. And I think an example of that
Speaker 6: would be when they come for our job, when they
Speaker 6: have to come and sit down. The computer has to
Speaker 6: sit here for four hours and think of things to
Speaker 6: say for four hours. That's going to be different because
Speaker 6: there's still somebody who's going to say to the computer.
Speaker 6: Talk about artificial intelligence. Right, there's never a point, according
Speaker 6: to Bill Gates, where it's just autonomous and comes up
Speaker 6: with its own stuff all by itself, at least not
Speaker 6: in those fields. That doesn't make me feel very comfortable
Speaker 6: because he didn't include radio.
Speaker 1: Well, we're a couple. We might not have a job tomorrow.
Speaker 1: That is not like we have longevity.
Speaker 2: That is very that is very, very true.
Speaker 1: You know, that's why we're selling your plasma on the side.
Speaker 1: You know your Jeopardy question, Yes, we have time for that.
Speaker 1: Your plasma is jacked up.
Speaker 2: What fifty two year old plasma do you? I don't know.
Speaker 2: There's no market for that.
Speaker 1: There might be. I bet I could sell your plasma
Speaker 1: face facts for four hundred dollars. The Seminole were among
Speaker 1: the many Native American tribes that used green paint on
Speaker 1: the face to improve of this sense at night.
Speaker 2: What is a vision? Yes? I know that green paint. Yes,
Speaker 2: it helps with your night blindness, my night blindness. You're
Speaker 2: the proverbial, your Mark Saltzman? Is that the right word?
Speaker 2: Tech Talk? When we come back.
Speaker 10: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 10: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: It's time for tech talk.
Speaker 3: The machines are getting smarter.
Speaker 10: This is tech Talk, brought to you by Skynet.
Speaker 6: Mark Saltzman is our friend from the Great White North, the.
Speaker 2: Nook of the North.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I happen to be in your fair country right now.
Speaker 8: Are you?
Speaker 2: Are you on the East Coast?
Speaker 11: I am.
Speaker 3: I'm leaving New Jersey. I was in New York for
Speaker 3: an event with a company called High Sense, a big
Speaker 3: TV company primarily I probably heard of them.
Speaker 2: They do my television.
Speaker 3: Yes, they they have a lot of bang for the buck,
Speaker 3: you know, like and and big, like eighty five and
Speaker 3: ten inch TVs. Wow, without breaking the bank. Pretty good stuff.
Speaker 3: And my one of my twins, Jacob, who's turning twenty
Speaker 3: three in July, he's never been to New York, so
Speaker 3: I took him and so we're at in the lounge
Speaker 3: at Newark and yeah, we had a really packed forty
Speaker 3: eight hours. We did everything from a nixt game and
Speaker 3: the MoMA Museum to Central Park in Times Square to
Speaker 3: Trump Tower and the financial districts. We had a lot
Speaker 3: of fun.
Speaker 2: It was really great.
Speaker 1: Did you do the smart hack where you stayed in
Speaker 1: Hoboken and you had the view of Manhattan?
Speaker 3: That's a good hack, But no, we did not. Was
Speaker 3: taken care of by high since.
Speaker 2: Oh nice.
Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah we did turn to Google and say
Speaker 3: we were going to do Empire State Building, but it
Speaker 3: was really cloudy and rainy yesterday. So I didn't want
Speaker 3: to really spend the fifty bucks each to go if
Speaker 3: the view was bad. And it's not that I'm cheap,
Speaker 3: but I just you know, the bad than what's why
Speaker 3: spend the money? So I googled best free view a
Speaker 3: fresh best view of New York skyline for free, like
Speaker 3: best balcony view, and it took me to a library
Speaker 3: that had the most awful view. It was like a
Speaker 3: brick wall, if you like, I have to get in
Speaker 3: there and like yelp that stuff, because that was not.
Speaker 2: What a cool trick exactly, New York tourists.
Speaker 6: You accidentally went to Sarcasm dot Google dot com, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: I must have yeah, or Snopes, you know the anyhow, Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was, but it was a really great trip. So yeah,
Speaker 3: so I was here seeing some new TVs. But you
Speaker 3: know what's dominating a lot of the tech headlines, uh
Speaker 3: are the is this twenty three and me bankruptcy? As
Speaker 3: you know, so I thought we might chat about it
Speaker 3: to help KFI listeners and iHeart listeners manage their info
Speaker 3: if they've uploaded their DNA to twenty three and meters
Speaker 3: probably heard on on Sunday they announced that they're going bankrupt.
Speaker 3: They're filing for Chapter eleven protection, and that they are
Speaker 3: likely to sell all of their which includes your personal
Speaker 3: DNA and FOE and health markers unless you delete the information.
Speaker 3: So this is it's obviously an upsetting situation for many.
Speaker 3: Both twenty three and Me and ancestry dot com are
Speaker 3: very similar in the sense that it'll help you unlock
Speaker 3: your family history and find potential relatives. But twenty three
Speaker 3: and me goes above and beyond that by providing genetic
Speaker 3: health reports and trait reports. So this is even more
Speaker 3: concerning understandably for many.
Speaker 8: Well.
Speaker 6: I happen to have used twenty three and me to
Speaker 6: find DNA relatives, and I noticed that the site itself
Speaker 6: went down on Monday. I mean because our Attorney general
Speaker 6: here in California had suggested people request that their information
Speaker 6: be deleted, that their saliva sample be destroyed so that
Speaker 6: it doesn't get lost. What is the concern that, what
Speaker 6: could somebody do with my genetic information?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, First of all, you're right that so many
Speaker 3: people went to the website to delete their information that
Speaker 3: the servers got overloaded on Tuesday twenty three and Me said,
Speaker 3: everything's fine, and it's a pretty simple process to download
Speaker 3: your info and then delete it. So the issue, I
Speaker 3: think is just that you have no control when a
Speaker 3: company says we are going we are forced to sell
Speaker 3: our assets that includes your personal information. We don't know
Speaker 3: what's going to be done with it. Disgui's a limit.
Speaker 3: It's your DNA, you know. I mean, once upon a time,
Speaker 3: the biggest concern was that you know, there's going to
Speaker 3: be a forensics investigation, and you're going to have to,
Speaker 3: you know, inadvertently like tell like that, you know, give
Speaker 3: information to the police that your cousin is a serial
Speaker 3: murderer or something. You know, like all this stuff that
Speaker 3: we gave away that we didn't really realize when we
Speaker 3: didn't read the t's and c's. But now it seems that,
Speaker 3: you know, like we don't know who the buyer will
Speaker 3: be and what's being done with your personal data. I
Speaker 3: just think it's disconcerting and not know what's going to happen,
Speaker 3: you know, with it. It's your personal DNA markers, right,
Speaker 3: I mean it can go either way, and without even
Speaker 3: getting too sci fi, it could be things like cloning,
Speaker 3: and you know, you never know it's your sample. So
Speaker 3: I don't know why anybody would want that out there.
Speaker 6: But yeah, but I mean your point, I think people
Speaker 6: have a hard time wrapping their head around what could. Yeah,
Speaker 6: we don't know what the future holds in terms of
Speaker 6: that kind of technology and what it would be used for.
Speaker 6: And you're saying it's better to be safe than sorry
Speaker 6: down the road.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'm not trying to be like purposely vague.
Speaker 3: It's we just don't know. It's one thing right now,
Speaker 3: it's our you know, identity theft is very real, and
Speaker 3: that's without any bio information like this is just from
Speaker 3: financial information that you're volunteering. Imagine having your genetic makeup
Speaker 3: out there. You know, it might sound like science fiction,
Speaker 3: but I think it's just it's just smarter to download
Speaker 3: and delete the data and you don't have to download
Speaker 3: it first, by the way, And so yeah, if you
Speaker 3: just want to Google twenty three and meters delete data,
Speaker 3: or just if you' you've got a good memory, just
Speaker 3: go to and maybe that's part of your genetics. Bet
Speaker 3: good memory is just go to the twenty three in
Speaker 3: me website, go to settings, click on data and then
Speaker 3: view and then you have an option to delete data,
Speaker 3: and then you're going to be asked to double check.
Speaker 3: It'll say permanently delete data, and you'll confirm your request,
Speaker 3: and then the process is similar for that sample that
Speaker 3: you mentioned, your saliva sample, you also have to go
Speaker 3: to settings and then preferences and then delete all that.
Speaker 3: It's up to you if you don't care, if you're
Speaker 3: like whatever, you know, let them do what they want
Speaker 3: with my then you don't have to panic then I'm
Speaker 3: not suggesting you panic, but I believe that we should
Speaker 3: be in control of our information. And yes, we opted
Speaker 3: for these services like you did, Gary, And I used
Speaker 3: ancestry dot com and I've found relatives, so I didn't know.
Speaker 3: You know, I think there's a lot of good to
Speaker 3: these services. But when you hear of a company that
Speaker 3: goes under that has fifteen million people in its database,
Speaker 3: that's a little scary.
Speaker 6: Well, and I know that there's an option, isn't there
Speaker 6: to download the information so that I can keep it myself.
Speaker 6: And then I guess it's similar to what I said was,
Speaker 6: you know, what would the threat be? What would then
Speaker 6: I what would I then use my genetic information for
Speaker 6: I'm not going to show it at parties or anything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, if you're not using it to find relatives,
Speaker 3: and if you've already gotten the answers that you wanted
Speaker 3: about your any health markers that you may be predispositioned
Speaker 3: for that you may want to act on, then it's
Speaker 3: just a matter of having it like within your you know,
Speaker 3: on you and with with within your what's the expression, I'm.
Speaker 2: Sorry, uh in my lock bombs here?
Speaker 3: Basically, yeah, you can upload it to a secure cloud.
Speaker 3: You can password protect it and keep it offline. It's basically,
Speaker 3: you've got it, you own it. It is not for everyone.
Speaker 3: If you I mean, I would download it if I
Speaker 3: had an option, rather than just delete it lively, just
Speaker 3: in case you ever need it in the future. You
Speaker 3: may have a medical professional that asks to see it
Speaker 3: that could help unlock some things that can help you
Speaker 3: live longer, live healthier, and they ask for that, Hey,
Speaker 3: did you ever do any of those DNA tasks? Can
Speaker 3: I see it? And you have a you know, a
Speaker 3: vetted physician who's able to to tell you, you know, to
Speaker 3: use it responsibly, then you've got it. If you delete
Speaker 3: it without downloading it, then you don't have anything, right,
Speaker 3: So I mean, you do it again. If you have
Speaker 3: to do it again, it's you know, but you already
Speaker 3: have it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And there's nothing on their website currently, by the way,
Speaker 6: that says anything about the bankruptcy. It doesn't say anything
Speaker 6: about what their plan is. You can still buy the packages.
Speaker 6: At least at least they're still advertising that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, yeah, exactly exactly. They did just confirmed that
Speaker 3: they have to. The quote is that they are going
Speaker 3: to be quote substantially selling all of our assets through
Speaker 3: a quart a trouve reorganization plan. That's all they've said
Speaker 3: that It sounds like they're still selling their kids, you know.
Speaker 3: But yeah, good old Sunnyvale, California company. So we'll see
Speaker 3: what's going to happen, and we'll see what's going to
Speaker 3: happen ancestry dot com. But you know, don't but just
Speaker 3: I would just be responsible and download your info. It's
Speaker 3: pretty easy to do so at the website.
Speaker 2: Hey.
Speaker 6: And also, don't panic if you missed the flight, because
Speaker 6: you stay in the United States long enough, we'll escort
Speaker 6: you out.
Speaker 2: Just so you know exactly.
Speaker 3: I know Ice is breathing down my neck right.
Speaker 1: Mark Saltzman, thank you so much, safe travels.
Speaker 2: I hope your son had a great time.
Speaker 3: Thank you for having me. We'll chat next next Thursday
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 6: You bet follow Mark on X of course, m A. R.
Speaker 6: C Underscore Saltsman. He's got great tech tips and he's
Speaker 6: also the host of the techt Out podcasting.
Speaker 2: Coming up baseball Baseball Baseball. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Oh, one quick thing from a guy who is a
Speaker 6: long time a job that he says will never be
Speaker 6: taken over by Ai Hi Garyan Shannon.
Speaker 10: I'm Dave.
Speaker 8: I'm a professional roadie. Yeah. Now, AI may be able
Speaker 8: to figure out a lot of other jobs. I can
Speaker 8: I set up guitar apps, change guitars and figure out rockstars. Hey,
Speaker 8: I may be able.
Speaker 2: To do the other starfod point, but it'll.
Speaker 8: Never be able to figure out rock stars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like totally. Also like pipe fitters, pipe fitters, plumbers.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's some man.
Speaker 1: Bill Gates doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.
Speaker 1: How many times do you think Bill Gates changed open pipe?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: He probably doesn't even know what a JVC pipe is.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, TV, PPC, PUC. I think he would tell
Speaker 1: you what the letters mean. Do you know what the
Speaker 1: letters mean? Never mind the PBC pipe right? That means
Speaker 1: perforated vestible of.
Speaker 2: Cement. Your brother right now is screaming at you. He's
Speaker 2: not listening.
Speaker 1: First of all, for a variety of real It's better
Speaker 1: for his health that way. Can I get a second guess?
Speaker 3: Sure?
Speaker 2: PVC, PVC, plastic ventilation creature. It's what it's made out of,
Speaker 2: it's not what it's for. Plastic BBC, is that right? Okay? Plastic? No?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, No, that's not right wrong? What's right is plexiglass? God,
Speaker 1: this is a lot of people yelling right now. More baseball,
Speaker 1: definitely come back.
Speaker 10: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 10: AM six forty.
Speaker 6: We were talking about the best baseball movies of all time.
Speaker 5: Hey, Gary and sannam flying Fish out here at the airport.
Speaker 5: So my favorite one is the Bingo Long Traveling All
Speaker 5: Stars and Motor King. That would be Billy d Williams,
Speaker 5: James Earl Jones and Richard Pryor when they were like
Speaker 5: the Harlem Globe Trotters of the baseball era.
Speaker 2: Excellent movie.
Speaker 5: Hey, I love you guys, stay crazy.
Speaker 2: Love it, Love you too. I'm still back on flying
Speaker 2: Fish at the airport. What does that mean?
Speaker 6: That's his name? He's flying Fish. What his name is? Moniker?
Speaker 6: If you call him, you would say, hey, flying Fish?
Speaker 6: Why because that's his name, that's the name he chose
Speaker 6: to be called.
Speaker 2: Why is that people are allowed to do that now?
Speaker 2: So Dave is passe or maybe by flying Fish. Maybe
Speaker 2: his name is John Fishman or Bob Fish. I mean
Speaker 2: there's one guy we've got from Nevada. He goes it's
Speaker 2: Bob from Nevada. This is such a strange thing. No, No,
Speaker 2: he does have it.
Speaker 1: Well, I've never heard someone refer to themselves as flying fish.
Speaker 6: That's not odd. His name is fish and he's at
Speaker 6: the airport. So why wouldn't he be the flying fish?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 2: Okay, whoa would that? I have a breakthrough. I did
Speaker 2: not connect the two.
Speaker 1: No, I'm thinking Montana, I'm thinking of through it.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking you're.
Speaker 6: Not just thinking of the funny part. No, Bingo Long
Speaker 6: Traveling All Stars and Motor Kings is the official name
Speaker 6: of that movie. You've ever heard of it? I've heard
Speaker 6: of it. I've never seen it. This is one I'm
Speaker 6: gonna have to check out. They said movie was produced
Speaker 6: by Barry Gordie for Motown Productions. Uh, and it's a
Speaker 6: It travels with this group of former Negro League baseball
Speaker 6: players in an era of racial segregation. And as he mentioned,
Speaker 6: this cast Billy D Williams, Richard Pryor, and James Earl Jones,
Speaker 6: among others.
Speaker 2: Wow, which I think what year was that? Seventy six?
Speaker 2: I think that is what it came out to. Check
Speaker 2: it out.
Speaker 11: Hey, Gary and Shannis is rob. I'm a baby boomer,
Speaker 11: so I remember this. You probably don't, but there was
Speaker 11: an episode of Mister Ed when the horse Mister Ed
Speaker 11: went to Dodger Stadium and he was pitched to you
Speaker 11: by Sandy Kofax Wow, and he hits a home run
Speaker 11: and slides into the catcher. And then there was an
Speaker 11: episode of The Munsters where Herman Munster went up to
Speaker 11: the plate and he smacked the ball out of the stadium.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that is a deep cut.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 4: The best ever, without a doubt is definitely Bulder on
Speaker 4: the riding.
Speaker 2: Is so exceptional.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 2: It is exceptional.
Speaker 8: Second though it might be cautioner again with Field of Dreams.
Speaker 9: Also great writing, yes, very quotable lines for nostalgic.
Speaker 2: Very well shot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I agree, Bull Durham, something for everybody in there.
Speaker 2: It's funny. It was great.
Speaker 6: I mean, uh and I'm I like that. You think
Speaker 6: of Kevin Coster and the three baseball movies that he's
Speaker 6: known for are all three on the list with Field
Speaker 6: of Dreams, Bull Durham and for the love of the game, everybody,
Speaker 6: I'm gonna there's too many to count.
Speaker 1: I really want to pull the on the mound conversation
Speaker 1: from Bull Durham. That brings up get a chicken and
Speaker 1: all right, get too, let's have it.
Speaker 6: But it took a lot of editing. I had to
Speaker 6: get to check it. Yeah, that's so good.
Speaker 2: A lot of people have been saying Sandlot as well.
Speaker 2: You a dogfect, this geek. You'll make your wis and
Speaker 2: your mama dog. Yeah, rapples in the toilet and you
Speaker 2: like it. You play ball like a girl. What did
Speaker 2: you say?
Speaker 3: You heard me?
Speaker 9: Tomorrow noon at our field.
Speaker 2: Get a buffalo butt breast.
Speaker 1: Count on bee drinking crap face.
Speaker 6: And again, it's not even that this is like the
Speaker 6: journey of the baseball team up through the championships like
Speaker 6: some of the football movies are that we've celebrated before.
Speaker 2: It's that it's uh, it was it.
Speaker 6: Captured something about you, like you found yourself in one
Speaker 6: of those characters in the movie.
Speaker 1: Or you had a crush on Benny because you were twelve?
Speaker 1: I did, is it Benny?
Speaker 3: The one that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? The hot one? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And I can say that because I was twelve when
Speaker 1: the movie came out.
Speaker 2: Not a creepy middle aged woman calling a child hot.
Speaker 2: You want me to do that?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 2: You want me to try to do the same thing
Speaker 2: and see if it sounds right.
Speaker 10: Movie from you.
Speaker 6: You have a good twelve year old girl movie that
Speaker 6: you would want me to go, Oh, she was hot?
Speaker 2: Well when you were twelve? What not going to do it?
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna fall into that trap. I know what
Speaker 2: you're trying to But we all had that. Nope, I didn't.
Speaker 1: You didn't think a girl was pretty in a movie
Speaker 1: when you were twelve? Who was of comparable age? Once
Speaker 1: I turned eighteen, all of those thoughts turned off. Really,
Speaker 1: I erased every single one of those thoughts from memory,
Speaker 1: and only only unless they were above eighteen when I
Speaker 1: had a crush on them.
Speaker 2: Does every dude do this?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: People all say that I've had a bad right pride
Speaker 2: of the Yankees. Oh yeah, but today Gary Cooper playing
Speaker 2: Lou Garrett today, I consider myself.
Speaker 8: The luckiest man on the face of the earth.
Speaker 2: Gary Cooper wasn't even a baseball fan well in that nuts,
Speaker 2: but they said that one of the reasons they cast
Speaker 2: him is that he looked so much like Lou.
Speaker 1: Garrett but meant nothing really to him. He didn't have
Speaker 1: the same he didn't have the same the same love.
Speaker 1: I will just say that child star pedophilia topic.
Speaker 2: I will say this.
Speaker 1: Part of the reason that I loved watching that movie
Speaker 1: Trap that m Night Shama Lamela was because Josh Hartnett,
Speaker 1: who is my age or my age adjacent in the
Speaker 1: in the Ballpark Now go On, was watching him as
Speaker 1: my age because he's somebody I had a crush on
Speaker 1: when I was like nineteen twenty, probably because he was
Speaker 1: in a bunch of movies back then, and I always
Speaker 1: said he was really cute, and when I would rewatch
Speaker 1: those movies, like I don't know, Pearl Harbor, what have you,
Speaker 1: you start to feel pretty pervy because you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's so cute, and it's like, well, I was fine
Speaker 1: when that movie came out, Shannon, but now you're old
Speaker 1: and it's not okay. So to see him in a
Speaker 1: movie where he's appropriately aged made me feel better.
Speaker 2: Did it get any better?
Speaker 8: Still?
Speaker 2: A little crazy, little money? Okay, cool money in there.
