Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to k
Speaker 1: if I am six forty the Gary and Shannon Show
Speaker 1: on demand on the iHeartRadio app. I read this article
Speaker 1: this morning. The headline was you really shouldn't sleep on
Speaker 1: your stomach. I always sleep on my stomach all the time,
Speaker 1: and me too. I was mentioning that I'm my back
Speaker 1: is all stiff, and part of it's just like, am
Speaker 1: I old?
Speaker 2: Is this?
Speaker 3: What is it all happening?
Speaker 2: Yes, the beginning of the end.
Speaker 1: But they said that one of the problems with sleeping
Speaker 1: on your stomach is that's what happens.
Speaker 3: You get really stiff.
Speaker 1: All the things that are connected to your spine get
Speaker 1: screwed up. But you sleep that way, and I just
Speaker 1: don't know if I could fall asleep not on my stomach.
Speaker 2: Is that the same one?
Speaker 4: I not read the same one, but mine came with
Speaker 4: tips on how to train yourself to sleep on your back,
Speaker 4: and it sounds awful.
Speaker 1: I didn't get that far. You'll have to tell me
Speaker 1: when we get to it. But isn't that how baby's
Speaker 1: sleep on your on their stomach? I don't no, then
Speaker 1: they suffocate?
Speaker 2: Did my babies sleep on their stomach? No, no, not
Speaker 2: at first.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I feel they did it was old enough,
Speaker 4: they were old enough to do it themselves.
Speaker 3: But I've always slept on my stomach.
Speaker 1: I feel like, I don't know, sleeping on your back
Speaker 1: just seems so like you're just.
Speaker 3: Supposed to lie here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I bet you're a giant horker too. A horker.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: What's a horker? Someone who snores like that making horks sound.
Speaker 1: No, but yeah, if you sleep on your back, you're
Speaker 1: a horker, right, you got to turn on your side.
Speaker 3: I guess you can sleep on your side. Is that okay?
Speaker 4: I don't know, because on the side you're jacking up
Speaker 4: your shoulder, and if you sleep on your left side,
Speaker 4: you're putting more pressure on your heart.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: We're basically killing ourselves every time we go to something.
Speaker 2: It's time for swamp watch.
Speaker 5: I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar,
Speaker 5: and when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing that lollipox here.
Speaker 5: We got the real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 3: The other side never quits.
Speaker 4: So what I'm not going anywhere?
Speaker 5: So that is how you.
Speaker 2: Train the squat I can imagine what can be and
Speaker 2: be unburdened by.
Speaker 3: What has been.
Speaker 2: You know, avans have always been gone. They're not stupid.
Speaker 4: A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 2: Have the people voted for you were nap watch they're
Speaker 2: all counter on.
Speaker 3: Uh there, I saw this item today.
Speaker 1: Taxpayers calling the I R S for help processing their
Speaker 1: taxes this filing season may find it harder than normal
Speaker 1: to get someone on the phone.
Speaker 3: Number one. Have you ever called the I R S?
Speaker 3: Number two? Have you ever repeat called the I R S?
Speaker 3: Like it's it's harder than usual to get the I
Speaker 3: R S on the phone.
Speaker 2: Those other times?
Speaker 4: Yeah, come on, I mean I wouldn't. Well, I've called
Speaker 4: the franchise taxport. I've called the state version of it,
Speaker 4: but that also took multiple hours of waiting.
Speaker 3: Most of us roll the dice, write the check, or
Speaker 3: wait for the money to roll in. See what happens,
Speaker 3: all right?
Speaker 4: So China has suspended exports of a bunch of critical
Speaker 4: minerals and magnets in the latest salvo of what is
Speaker 4: shaping up to be a pretty significant trade war between
Speaker 4: the United States and our biggest trading partner in China
Speaker 4: one of our biggest trading partners. And when you think
Speaker 4: of the critical minerals and rare earth magnets, you think
Speaker 4: to yourself, well, who even uses those things?
Speaker 3: Computer?
Speaker 2: Everybody?
Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody, cars everything.
Speaker 4: There are six heavy rare earth metals which are refined
Speaker 4: entirely in China, and rare earth magnets, almost all of
Speaker 4: which are produced in China. And these metals and the
Speaker 4: special magnets that are made with them now have to
Speaker 4: have a special export license if you're going to be
Speaker 4: able to get it out of China. And for some
Speaker 4: of those corporations industries that rely on them, think automakers
Speaker 4: and computer makers and things like that, we're talking at
Speaker 4: least a forty five day process. That's a conservative estimate
Speaker 4: as to how long it's going to take, because as
Speaker 4: of right now, China hasn't even set up a system
Speaker 4: for issuing these special export licenses for these very important minerals.
Speaker 4: They said, if Detroit, I mean Detroit in the informal sense,
Speaker 4: Detroit auto manufacturers run out of rare earth magnets that
Speaker 4: could prevent them from making cars and other projects products
Speaker 4: with electric motors that require the magnets.
Speaker 3: So I've got a question.
Speaker 1: We had a global chip shortage that lasted pandemic to
Speaker 1: I don't know, a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3: We knew it existed.
Speaker 1: Yes, there was some backlog, but everything was fine, right,
Speaker 1: I mean maybe we in the midst of it.
Speaker 4: Neither one of us bought I don't think anything that
Speaker 4: was going to raise a big ticket item that was
Speaker 4: going to require those types of things in it. You
Speaker 4: got your truck, for example, after most of the supply
Speaker 4: chain issues with chips was solved.
Speaker 1: So I just don't remember people running around with their
Speaker 1: heads on fire in the streets over the chip shortage.
Speaker 1: Is this going to be similar or it.
Speaker 4: Depends on what we have Listen, I don't know if
Speaker 4: we learned our lesson from that. I don't know if
Speaker 4: there is a stockpile of chips or rare earth minerals
Speaker 4: that we have that we keep on hand in the
Speaker 4: event that something like this happens. Michael silver As, chairman,
Speaker 4: chief executive of American Elements, a chemical supplier based here
Speaker 4: in LA said his company has been told it's going
Speaker 4: to take forty five days before export licenses would even
Speaker 4: be issued and exports of those rare earth metals and
Speaker 4: magnets would resume. He said that his company had increased
Speaker 4: its inventory last winter. That's good news in anticipation of
Speaker 4: a trade war, that right now we could meet the
Speaker 4: existing contracts while waiting for some of those licenses to
Speaker 4: fall into place and get some of that stuff over here.
Speaker 1: This is one of those things that causes very minimal
Speaker 1: economic pain in China. These are the kinds of things
Speaker 1: that China can do to cause a massive problem here,
Speaker 1: but cause themselves relatively small amounts of pain. Rare earth
Speaker 1: magnets make up a tiny share of China's overall exports
Speaker 1: to the US and elsewhere.
Speaker 3: Ps.
Speaker 1: If you're thinking, well, let's just go get the China
Speaker 1: rare earth stuff from somewhere else, use a middleman. Chinese
Speaker 1: customs officials are also blocking exports of the heavy rare
Speaker 1: earth minerals and magnets, metals, whatever, not just to the
Speaker 1: US but to.
Speaker 3: Any country right including Japan and Germany.
Speaker 2: So we're stuck here.
Speaker 4: One of the big questions is, in the broader sense
Speaker 4: of this ongoing trade war, burgeoning trade war between the
Speaker 4: United States and China, is who it does have the
Speaker 4: upper hand, because in this instance it appears that China
Speaker 4: has the upper hand because they have This means very
Speaker 4: little to them, but it means a lot to us.
Speaker 4: And all they have to do is choke off that
Speaker 4: supply and it's going to have a bigger impact on us.
Speaker 4: Does do we have products that go the other way?
Speaker 2: Sure? But do we have the willingness?
Speaker 4: Does our nation have the willingness to take some of
Speaker 4: that temporary pain in order to have some sort of
Speaker 4: a better trade deal with China down the road?
Speaker 2: And I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 4: So this measuring contest, as we've referred to it many times,
Speaker 4: will continue.
Speaker 1: Just released part of a lengthy investigation report into the
Speaker 1: last emails and internet searches done by Gene Hackman's wife.
Speaker 1: We'll tell you what she was looking for in the
Speaker 1: days and moments leading up to their deaths.
Speaker 2: House traps, rat traps. Apparently their place was infested.
Speaker 3: Oh really yeah, Oh that's unfortunately.
Speaker 2: Which would explain why she died from hunting.
Speaker 3: I found a spider in my kitchen this morning. That's
Speaker 3: how it begins.
Speaker 4: That is not a perfect day for you.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 4: They're doing a bunch of announcements of places where the
Speaker 4: Olympics events are going to take place. If you saw
Speaker 4: Trestle's part of the Santa No Fray State Beach is
Speaker 4: going to be where surfing takes place for the Olympics
Speaker 4: in twenty eight that's cool.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 4: Dodger Stadium, they're going to do baseball there, that's cool.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 4: The squash competition will take place on the Universal Studios lot.
Speaker 4: I don't know if they have a lot of squash
Speaker 4: facilities and Universal Studios, but.
Speaker 2: That's just an odd place for it to be.
Speaker 4: Authorities have released a pretty lengthy investigation detailing some of
Speaker 4: the emails and internet searches done by Betsy Arakawa, that's
Speaker 4: Gene Hackman's wife, just in the days right before her death.
Speaker 4: She knew she was sick. She had been searching for
Speaker 4: things like information on flu like symptoms and breathing techniques.
Speaker 4: She died, of course, of the hauntavirus pulmonary syndrome. This
Speaker 4: is a rodent born disease that can lead to a
Speaker 4: range of symptoms, including those few.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say how long did she have
Speaker 1: these symptoms for?
Speaker 4: They haven't said it, just the timeline that they give
Speaker 4: is the days before her death. She had mentioned in
Speaker 4: an email a review of the open bookmarks on her
Speaker 4: computer February eighth and the morning of February twelfth, indicated
Speaker 4: that she was researching medical conditions. She thought she was
Speaker 4: looking into COVID. She was looking at flu related symptoms,
Speaker 4: questions about whether COVID could cause dizziness and nosebleeds. She'd
Speaker 4: also mentioned in an email to her masseuse that Gene Hackman,
Speaker 4: her husband, woke up on the eleventh with flu or
Speaker 4: cold like symptoms, but that the COVID test was negative
Speaker 4: and she would have to reschedule her appointment out of
Speaker 4: an abundance of caution.
Speaker 3: What day do they think she died?
Speaker 2: Now? That was let's see, so that was February twelfth.
Speaker 1: They were found on February twenty sixth, and I do
Speaker 1: believe that because of the partial mummification, they believe that
Speaker 1: she was dead for a week, which puts out at
Speaker 1: the nineteenth. It mean she was suffering from these symptoms
Speaker 1: for about a week.
Speaker 2: He was.
Speaker 4: They believe that he died on the eighteenth, and that
Speaker 4: she died on the twelfth.
Speaker 2: So this would have been.
Speaker 3: The day the day she died.
Speaker 4: The last search was the morning of February twelfth, the
Speaker 4: day that they believe she died. For a healthcare provider
Speaker 4: in Santa Fe.
Speaker 1: I was going to say, if wow, it's for the
Speaker 1: trip to the urgent care, you know, if you're feeling
Speaker 1: the symptoms of anything.
Speaker 2: But it's remember once.
Speaker 4: Some of the stories that have come out about them
Speaker 4: is that they were very very private. Yes, And I
Speaker 4: don't know if that's I mean, I don't know if
Speaker 4: anybody in Santa Fe would have only.
Speaker 1: Sixty one, sixty two something like that, so like you
Speaker 1: wouldn't think, oh, I'm near death.
Speaker 3: That's just like yeah, COVID or the flu or something
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 2: She was sixty five.
Speaker 4: An environmental assessment of the property took place on March fifth,
Speaker 4: and they said that there were a lot of rodents.
Speaker 4: They said that rodent feces, a live rodent, a dead rodent,
Speaker 4: a nest in three different garages, in addition to droppings
Speaker 4: and two small external houses and three sheds. Traps had
Speaker 4: been set up. But they said that there were sightings
Speaker 4: of rodents and nests and feces in two abandoned vehicles
Speaker 4: or farming machinery on the ground, So they were all
Speaker 4: over the place, these rodents, and they may have known
Speaker 4: about it. But where the couple lived, the house itself
Speaker 4: was clean with no signs of rodent activity. But again,
Speaker 4: if she was out there taking care of stuff, if
Speaker 4: she's out there cleaning stuff out, that's how it gets
Speaker 4: when you start moving that stuff around, That's how it.
Speaker 2: Gets airborne, and that's how it causes so many problems.
Speaker 3: Oh Man.
Speaker 4: Medical investigators believe that she had this hauntavirus, which, of course,
Speaker 4: like we said, is a lung condition. The symptoms do
Speaker 4: include things like fatigue and fever and sore aches, dizziness,
Speaker 4: abdominal issues, but that it can lead to a sudden death.
Speaker 4: So even if she felt just flew like symptoms or
Speaker 4: thought maybe she had COVID, that death itself came pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: Wow, what a blessing, I mean not to I don't
Speaker 1: know how long or how a bout the suffering was,
Speaker 1: but it seems like she thought she had COVID or
Speaker 1: the flu.
Speaker 4: And then I'll remember she died on the bathroom floor
Speaker 4: in what look I mean.
Speaker 2: They said that there were open pill bottles around her.
Speaker 4: Like she had gone into the bathroom to take medicine
Speaker 4: of some kind and just collapse at that point.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Now I have a cough.
Speaker 3: Like now, I was just wondering if you have any rats.
Speaker 3: I've got rats at my house.
Speaker 4: I have a terrier, so I don't have rats at
Speaker 4: my house. I mean, it's not a guarantee, yeah, but
Speaker 4: that is his job.
Speaker 1: And then I had that spider this morning, so I'm
Speaker 1: real touch and go. I don't know if I'm going
Speaker 1: to make that meeting.
Speaker 2: What is that why this morning?
Speaker 1: Well, it could be a sign that I have the
Speaker 1: haunt of virus. It's just dormant right now. I don't
Speaker 1: need I don't know if I should go and infect people.
Speaker 4: I'm more concerned about bats around my house lately.
Speaker 1: I've got those too, so I might have a double
Speaker 1: dose and I could be dead.
Speaker 4: By which is exactly when the meeting starts.
Speaker 3: Seriously, though, I shouldn't talk about this on the air.
Speaker 2: Which about what, but I'm going to say it. We
Speaker 2: have a meeting.
Speaker 1: We have a meeting with like hundred people in West
Speaker 1: Hollywood where there's no parking, like what I mean, we
Speaker 1: may not make the meeting because we're circling for an
Speaker 1: hour and a half.
Speaker 3: And dying of haunted virus. Would they the same time?
Speaker 2: Would they fail for us?
Speaker 3: They don't even know who we are.
Speaker 2: Well, I know that thing. I mean, that's the part of.
Speaker 3: It is why I'm advocating for the Irish Hello.
Speaker 2: No, we're not doing that.
Speaker 1: It's like you don't even have to say hello and
Speaker 1: say Irish goodbye. You don't say goodbye Irish Hello, you
Speaker 1: don't say hello, you just don't.
Speaker 2: Don't go. That's great. We're gonna need so much trouble.
Speaker 2: I'm next sleep it on your stomach.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, So you've got to how to guide
Speaker 1: because I I've thought about this. I've thought to myself,
Speaker 1: it's probably not great that I sleep on my stomach
Speaker 1: all the time. And now you know, getting old got
Speaker 1: some makes and pains, back shoulders, all that, and then
Speaker 1: this article so it says basically it makes you more
Speaker 1: injury prone if you do work out. It stiffens up
Speaker 1: all the things connected to the spine.
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily agree with all this, and I'll tell
Speaker 2: you why.
Speaker 3: You also get chest wrinkles.
Speaker 1: I totally get that because I sleep with the bra too.
Speaker 3: You too, Yeah, well with yours.
Speaker 1: You got to because those girls will wander in.
Speaker 2: The night knock somebody out.
Speaker 4: Also take an ideas for our next next episode of
Speaker 4: the Weekend Fixed.
Speaker 5: Good Morning, garyan Shannon for a Saturday's Bone Extra bonus podcast.
Speaker 2: I would like to know more about your spouses.
Speaker 4: Maybe you could interview sure they love that and play
Speaker 4: that on a Saturday show.
Speaker 3: It would be quite interesting, husband to punch me right
Speaker 3: in the face.
Speaker 2: Really, not really, but proverbially.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: Am six.
Speaker 4: A bunch of stories that were following include the fact
Speaker 4: that another day of jury selection today for Harvey Weinstein's
Speaker 4: sex crime retrial. Three accusers in total are going to
Speaker 4: confront him at a trial set to last a little bit.
Speaker 2: More than a month.
Speaker 4: Two of these women, Mimi Hailey and Jessica Man, will
Speaker 4: take the stand again to describe how they were assaulted
Speaker 4: by this guy. A third woman, who has not yet
Speaker 4: been publicly identified, is expected to testify that she forced
Speaker 4: her that he forced her into sex at a hotel
Speaker 4: back in two thousand and six. There was an awful
Speaker 4: story out of Van Eyes yesterday, a woman accused of
Speaker 4: killing her seven year old daughter in a van Ey's apartment.
Speaker 4: Apparently struggled with mental health, did mom this? Stepfather of
Speaker 4: the seven year old said that Mom had passive bipolar
Speaker 4: disorder and the depression of potentially being unable to become
Speaker 4: a legal resident.
Speaker 2: All of this drove her to do what she did. Man,
Speaker 2: she said, I'm sure she was out of her mind
Speaker 2: when she attacked the girl.
Speaker 3: Bipolar disorder. What a freaking mystery of a puzzle that
Speaker 3: one is.
Speaker 1: You know, someone can appear to be completely functional and
Speaker 1: totally fine, and then the next day it's a different story.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, I can't even imagine living with.
Speaker 2: That on this day.
Speaker 4: By the way, seventy eight years ago, seventy eight years ago,
Speaker 4: Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in bait Major League Baseball.
Speaker 4: So today all players, all coaches, all umpires, they all
Speaker 4: wear the number forty two in Dodger blue, regardless of
Speaker 4: their regular uniform colors. Also, players, managers, coaches, umpires, they'll
Speaker 4: also wear a number forty two patch on the sides
Speaker 4: of their hats.
Speaker 1: Headline out of the New York magazine, You really shouldn't
Speaker 1: sleep on your stomach. According to doctor of physical therapy
Speaker 1: and a clinical director at Fysycle, Jimmy Paja Sfar says
Speaker 1: stomach sleeping can play strain on the neck and lower
Speaker 1: back because the position challenges the natural curvature of a
Speaker 1: healthy spine.
Speaker 3: That kind of makes sense, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: Your spine's natural curves are essential to supporting the rest
Speaker 1: of your body structure.
Speaker 4: Then why is it so comfortable? Why do so many
Speaker 4: people do it if it's so bad for us?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but they say, essentially, sleeping on your
Speaker 1: stomach flattens and compresses your spine, and that can cause discomfort, stillness,
Speaker 1: muscle strain, potentially even numbness or tingling, even in the
Speaker 1: short term.
Speaker 3: I think it goes back to the fact that it's comforting.
Speaker 2: How I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think it's because we did it as kids, slept
Speaker 1: on our stomach.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I mean, if you had to if okay, imagine that
Speaker 4: you had to take a nap here.
Speaker 1: Whenever I take a nap, I immediately crawl onto my stomach,
Speaker 1: and I think.
Speaker 4: You wouldn't on this floor. I mean you would do
Speaker 4: this on a heart surface. I would, I would, Okay,
Speaker 4: you don't have to be mad about it.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm thinking about a nap now, and because of
Speaker 1: this gen meeting, there will be no naps.
Speaker 3: Say no nap, no naps, and no doors.
Speaker 4: Here's there was an interesting thing that I saw about
Speaker 4: how this affects you.
Speaker 2: I am also a stomach sleeper.
Speaker 4: They said that the risk to the neck and the
Speaker 4: hips is important because if you sleep on your stomach,
Speaker 4: you have to turn your head to the side. Right,
Speaker 4: unless you're sleeping on a massage table, you have to
Speaker 4: turn your head to the side, which puts strain on
Speaker 4: your neck. You turn, it tightens one side of your
Speaker 4: neck and the other one gets stressed. The other thing
Speaker 4: is if you rest on your stomach, oftentimes you kick.
Speaker 2: That one leg out right.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like this, I do that and I do
Speaker 1: that with my That's probably why I have hip issues.
Speaker 2: Bryan totally agree.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because one side is this, I'll do that one
Speaker 4: side is tighter than the other, and I'll try to
Speaker 4: sleep on the other side and leave the stretchy.
Speaker 3: Side on the one that You're right, And how does
Speaker 3: that work out?
Speaker 2: Not great?
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I go back to you know, I'm unconscious, do.
Speaker 3: You you also?
Speaker 1: Can you also hear or feel the cracking of various
Speaker 1: joints and things when you move around.
Speaker 4: I'm not that old. Oh oh, I'm sorry you you
Speaker 4: can hear that.
Speaker 3: I feel like it sounds like I'm trying to think
Speaker 3: of something.
Speaker 2: That people dropping boulders into a creek.
Speaker 3: No, there's no water involved.
Speaker 2: I don't know yet, but it's like a subdued thunk.
Speaker 3: It's just like a cracking. It's like that exists. Hey,
Speaker 3: where are the tips? I don't see any tips.
Speaker 4: So they've said tips, different pillows. Maybe maybe you do
Speaker 4: a body pillow. They say that they make something called
Speaker 4: an anti snoring pillow where you would lay on your
Speaker 4: back and it keeps your head from like flopping one
Speaker 4: way or the other. There's others that are body pillows.
Speaker 4: It's that if you're trying to stop sleeping on your stomach,
Speaker 4: start by moving to your side first. But to do
Speaker 4: that you have to be careful about compressing your shoulder
Speaker 4: joint too much. So they make body pillows.
Speaker 3: There's all my fat can't just rest on this shoulder?
Speaker 2: No, are you kidding?
Speaker 3: It's not used to that kind of heft.
Speaker 1: So you're saying, if I was hugging a body pillow.
Speaker 1: The pillow would absorb some of the weight.
Speaker 4: It's not necessarily that it absorbs the weight, although it
Speaker 4: does put your body in a better position to take
Speaker 4: the weight. It's also that it comforts the front side
Speaker 4: of your body because you're looking for something.
Speaker 3: Well, you have stuffed animals for this.
Speaker 1: I know you're a big proponent of stuffed animals in
Speaker 1: the bed as a.
Speaker 2: Big fluffy crocodile. You just seven tall crocodile.
Speaker 3: Yes, you hold on to croc right.
Speaker 2: Uh, crock key, crocky.
Speaker 3: I don't need to know everything.
Speaker 2: They said.
Speaker 4: If you're going to do that, the problem is you
Speaker 4: have to keep your head, neck and spine in alignment
Speaker 4: if you're sleeping on your side, which made matter get
Speaker 4: multiple pillows crazy to keep your head. And then they
Speaker 4: said retraining your brain.
Speaker 3: I thought about that, actually is.
Speaker 2: As weighted blankets.
Speaker 1: And how morning I thought about that about two in
Speaker 1: the morning when I woke up and I thought I
Speaker 1: should sleep.
Speaker 2: On I wake yourself up.
Speaker 3: I'm not a horker to use your word. I think
Speaker 3: you made that word.
Speaker 1: Up just now, by the way, anything about me. And
Speaker 1: I thought, I will try and sleep on my back.
Speaker 1: I will just think to myself, there's no other way
Speaker 1: you can fall asleep except for.
Speaker 3: On your back, and it didn't work, and then you
Speaker 3: went I didn't hork.
Speaker 2: I disagree that.
Speaker 4: They said that you could use a weighted blanket that
Speaker 4: tends to make your body relax and.
Speaker 2: Maybe be more accepting of the sleeping on your back.
Speaker 2: But I don't think that works for me.
Speaker 3: I waited blanket.
Speaker 1: I do too, but I had to stop sleeping with
Speaker 1: one because I couldn't get out from under it. It
Speaker 1: was too heavy and with all my cracking bones, it
Speaker 1: was a real chore and I felt trapped.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 4: They did say that just doing a little bit at
Speaker 4: a time, going to bed and consciously deciding that you're
Speaker 4: going to lay on your back until you fall asleep,
Speaker 4: and then letting your body determine the best.
Speaker 3: Maybe I should get a.
Speaker 1: Little haunt to virus because getting older with me is
Speaker 1: going to be a whole situation.
Speaker 2: Don't look at me.
Speaker 1: I think it's bad at this point.
Speaker 3: Don't look at me. I ain't doing it.
Speaker 1: You're contractually obligated to do it at this.
Speaker 4: Point, just for the here, and that's it, right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't have to walk you down the stairs I
Speaker 4: don't have to do any of that stuff.
Speaker 1: You're the only one, and I talked to you about
Speaker 1: all my ailments. You think anybody else has a stomach
Speaker 1: for this.
Speaker 2: I don't like that burden.
Speaker 3: What are we doing?
Speaker 2: This is a good story.
Speaker 4: Okay, the underlying current of sadness, but it is a
Speaker 4: good story, and it's very different than the Michelle Williams
Speaker 4: story about I know I'm going to die, so I'm
Speaker 4: going to have sex with everybody. This is a guy
Speaker 4: who says I know I'm going to die, but I'm
Speaker 4: going to do something that.
Speaker 3: Wasn't what it was about.
Speaker 4: What it's about, But keep telling me it's about No,
Speaker 4: I never said that.
Speaker 3: That's what you think because you jumped to conclusions.
Speaker 2: I read the logline.
Speaker 1: She didn't have a thing with anybody, so she wanted
Speaker 1: to achieve that she wasn't setting out to have sex
Speaker 1: with a.
Speaker 3: Bunch of people.
Speaker 2: But she did.
Speaker 3: She You don't know that.
Speaker 2: I do know that.
Speaker 1: Did you watch the show it's like two hundred guys. No,
Speaker 1: that wasn't it. That was a different show. That was
Speaker 1: a different show.
Speaker 2: You were watcher.
Speaker 3: She slept with like three guys, and that whole freaking show.
Speaker 3: Oh but the whole No, that was the poorn we
Speaker 3: were watching.
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 4: Anyway, guy who We'll clean it up and it's better,
Speaker 4: trust me. Weekend Fix is the Saturday edition of our
Speaker 4: podcast that we do. You don't hear any other part
Speaker 4: of it. The stuff here on Saturday is brand new.
Speaker 4: Let us know what you would like us to cover
Speaker 4: on the Saturday None of what we just said, but
Speaker 4: anything you'd like us to cover, let us know on
Speaker 4: the talkback feature on the iHeart app.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 4: The original story in the series, she may not do it,
Speaker 4: but the true story that it's based on. The woman
Speaker 4: claims that she had more than two hundred text partners
Speaker 4: after she was diagnosed.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, that was in in the show. Are you
Speaker 1: did you look up the show or did you look
Speaker 1: up the porn?
Speaker 4: Didn't look up either one of those. Then the woman's
Speaker 4: name Molly Coke, Cocaine co Chan. Do you know the characters?
Speaker 3: I do not know.
Speaker 2: Anyway, that's what it's based on.
Speaker 3: Two hundred That seems like a lot, you think, Yeah, so.
Speaker 2: Now you know why I was That's why they trimmed
Speaker 2: it down to three.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was not in the show.
Speaker 2: All right, here's a good story, but not good story.
Speaker 2: I mean it's a.
Speaker 3: Hundred over what period of time.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: It doesn't even matter, does it. It doesn't even matter.
Speaker 2: That's quite a list regardless.
Speaker 4: A guy named Doug Rooke, after learning he got prostate
Speaker 4: cancer and that the diagnosis was terminal, goes back to
Speaker 4: his apartment in San Antonio, Texas, and he said that
Speaker 4: one of his biggest regrets in life was that he
Speaker 4: felt like he was constantly focused on himself and not
Speaker 4: enough on others.
Speaker 2: Doctors had given him some between a year and eighteen months.
Speaker 3: And how many people do he have sex with?
Speaker 2: Zero? I mean, I don't know one.
Speaker 4: Doug, fifty five years old, considered helping Hurricane Helen victims
Speaker 4: in North Carolina, or maybe coming out here and helping
Speaker 4: people recovering from the wildfires, but that wasn't enough, and
Speaker 4: he set a goal over the course of his last
Speaker 4: twelve to eighteen months of life of volunteering in all
Speaker 4: fifty states and the District of Columbia. Before he goes
Speaker 4: he had spent most of his life on cancer treatments,
Speaker 4: so he decided he was going to launch a fundraiser
Speaker 4: and hope that others would help him achieve his wish.
Speaker 4: He received enough money to start his own journey, so
Speaker 4: he packed all of his things into his car and
Speaker 4: he headed north. And since then again this is January
Speaker 4: that he learned that his cancer was terminal. Since January,
Speaker 4: he's volunteered at food pantries, food banks, soup care centers,
Speaker 4: hospitality who houses, and other charity organizations in about a
Speaker 4: dozen states. And it's now driving southeast from Seattle. He
Speaker 4: said he hopes to raise at least forty two thousand
Speaker 4: dollars in reach every state by the fall. And he
Speaker 4: said getting attention for all this is slightly uncomfortable, but
Speaker 4: kind of has to do it if he's going to
Speaker 4: raise all this money. He said told The Washington Post,
Speaker 4: I don't want to be some pseudo celebrity, because I'm not.
Speaker 4: I'm just a guy that needed to balance the scales
Speaker 4: and do some good in his life. He said that
Speaker 4: the terminal diagnosis quickly put his life into perspective. And
Speaker 4: he said, but the volunteering is not all selfless, because
Speaker 4: studies have shown over and over again that people who
Speaker 4: volunteer can get a boost of self esteem, they can
Speaker 4: feel more connected to other people, they can experience less depression,
Speaker 4: which is what he's working on. And he really hadn't
Speaker 4: volunteered much before this year. He's undergone external beam radiation therapy.
Speaker 4: He spent about eighty grand on treatment. Scans showed that
Speaker 4: his cancer had spread to his liver and a bone
Speaker 4: in his right leg. So the doctor said, you got
Speaker 4: two options. You do chemo and maybe live for two years,
Speaker 4: or you don't do anything, and you got eighteen months,
Speaker 4: which we talked about yesterday, just in terms of how
Speaker 4: you make decisions like that, end of life decisions. Do
Speaker 4: you do eighteen months of relatively good health and ability
Speaker 4: or you do two years worth of or a chemo
Speaker 4: which is going to knock you down pretty significantly right away,
Speaker 4: and then try to live another six months beyond the
Speaker 4: original diagnosis.
Speaker 1: This is supposed to be a good story, and it's
Speaker 1: not leaving me feeling.
Speaker 3: Go back to that.
Speaker 2: He started a project called Dying to Serve.
Speaker 3: Sounds again like it should be uplifting.
Speaker 4: But not solidified. After he saw that they don't name
Speaker 4: was available on Go Daddy, You're making it worse started
Speaker 4: to GoFundMe that he shared on social media. He raised
Speaker 4: thousands of dollars.
Speaker 3: So it's a scam then, not a scam.
Speaker 4: He signed up for shifts through just Serve and Volunteer
Speaker 4: Match and other organizations of the chair his opportunities. Moved
Speaker 4: out of his apartment last month and put everything he
Speaker 4: had in his red twenty seventeen Chevy Malibu that he
Speaker 4: names flash clothes, suitcases, backpacks, laptop, blanket, pillows, massage gun
Speaker 4: to soothe his leg pains, energy drinks. So he said
Speaker 4: he will fly to Alaska and Hawaii to get there
Speaker 4: so that he can check off every one of those
Speaker 4: fifty states before he gets called back to the great
Speaker 4: Chevy Malibu in the sky.
Speaker 1: All right, we've got a potential school shooting to keep
Speaker 1: our eye on.
Speaker 2: Sorry, okay, yeah, tell me the better news. Then, how
Speaker 2: is this going to go?
Speaker 1: This is outside of Dallas or inside of Dallas. Wilmer
Speaker 1: Hutchins High School police responding. Huge police presence right now
Speaker 1: on campus there as you can imagine, ambulances, fire trucks,
Speaker 1: students seen walking away from campus. Not a lot of
Speaker 1: hysteria that you've seen. No word yet on injuries, again
Speaker 1: very early on. This is in Dallas, Wilmer Hutchins High School,
Speaker 1: just a reported school shooting at the moment. Is this
Speaker 1: chase still going on? Do you guys have eyes on

Speaker 4: Wilmer Hutchins High School. According to WFAA, the television station
Speaker 4: there in Dallas. Teenager shot in the leg.

Speaker 3: but you know what I mean.
