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: Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Harris scheduled to
Speaker 2: hold dueling rallies in Wisconsin today, specifically Milwaukee. They're converging
Speaker 2: on that battleground state of Wisconsin. Washington Post polling average
Speaker 2: shows Harris actually has a narrow lead there in Wisconsin.
Speaker 2: Harris also has other campaign stops in Wisconsin on Friday,
Speaker 2: and Trump has events in Michigan also, And we've been
Speaker 2: mentioning the job numbers came out today. Job creation in
Speaker 2: October slowed to its weakest pace since late twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: They said it's probably the impacts of storms and strikes
Speaker 2: that dented the employment picture. Bureau of Labor Statistics and
Speaker 2: non farm payrolls increased by just twelve thousand for the month,
Speaker 2: down sharply from September and well below the Dow Jones
Speaker 2: estimate of over one hundred thousand. Unemployment rate holds at
Speaker 2: four point one percent, which was just about right in
Speaker 2: line with xby xations.
Speaker 1: Great day in Los Angeles, the Dodgers are world champions.
Speaker 1: Downtown is packed to the gills with people. Civic Center
Speaker 1: just covered with Dodger fans, white and blue and happiness
Speaker 1: and glee and glee and glee. They've got the music pumping.
Speaker 1: They are ready for this parade. Dodger Stadium is packed
Speaker 1: already as well. The parking lots are filling up.
Speaker 3: And listen.
Speaker 2: Our own Blake trolley is down there in the melee
Speaker 2: in downtown Los Angele. Let's not say melee, because I
Speaker 2: don't want it to be How about the mill you
Speaker 2: they're in lost downtown Los Angeles, Blake, what's going on?
Speaker 4: Well, sitting in this crowd, you have to wonder if
Speaker 4: there any society left throughout?
Speaker 3: Why does it sound so quiet? Why don't I hear
Speaker 3: the people? Where are the people? Blake?
Speaker 4: You don't hear the people? I'm swell, They're all over
Speaker 4: my truck. I had to come into the news truck
Speaker 4: to do the hit to talk to you guys. It
Speaker 4: would be so loud to actually stand in that crowd.
Speaker 4: But I have talked to a few fans. You know
Speaker 4: what's interesting is so many people have shown up to
Speaker 4: this event since I've been here that there's now pretty
Speaker 4: much a nosebleed section for the for the parade itself.
Speaker 4: So a lot of the people who are showing up
Speaker 4: right now, I'm thinking you are showing up to stare
Speaker 4: at rows of the backs of people's heads, because you're
Speaker 4: probably not gonna, you know, get too good of a
Speaker 4: look at the at the parade itself. But I want
Speaker 4: to go to this audio. I talked to some fans
Speaker 4: who had gotten here early. These guys are right up
Speaker 4: on the line. They got up at four am and
Speaker 4: came out from Baldwin Park.
Speaker 5: I see what do you make when you see just
Speaker 5: the thousands of people already lined up here on First
Speaker 5: Street to celebrate the team we've to go. I just
Speaker 5: want to go ahead and say that k if I
Speaker 5: will be airing his comment with a we're gonna have
Speaker 5: to bleep it out, but we have no problem with that.
Speaker 5: But really, you know, there's so much to talk about
Speaker 5: this year. I mean, one of the main points been
Speaker 5: talking about with fans is the fact that this really
Speaker 5: does feel like the first win.
Speaker 3: In a long time.
Speaker 5: Even though that that twenty twenty win you know, happened,
Speaker 5: fans weren't able to celebrate like this.
Speaker 3: No, I mean, it's twenty twenty. You know everyone said
Speaker 3: it was a Mickey mouse wing. You know that's an
Speaker 3: axis war.
Speaker 6: You haven't had no excuses today, exactly everywhere.
Speaker 3: We want at home, we want at Yankees. So I
Speaker 3: se the excuse. Now we whoa cold right now? Yeah?
Speaker 4: You know, I want to point out I looked up
Speaker 4: the weather in Manhattan. It's seventy eight degrees. So I
Speaker 4: don't want any false reporting out on our station that it.
Speaker 3: Would be cold in New York?
Speaker 7: Is it.
Speaker 4: Because they're like they're cold? They're cold right now? So
Speaker 4: I checked seventy eight today in Manhattan. That's a list.
Speaker 1: When you start the day off with three or seventeen
Speaker 1: cores lights, you know.
Speaker 3: You uh, you want to imagine it's too cold in
Speaker 3: New York for any sort of celebration.
Speaker 4: Sen I sent a lot of breakfast peers out here. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I think there's quite a few breakfasters. But you know,
Speaker 4: the excitement is it's it's about to start up. I mean,
Speaker 4: this parade starts in less than an hour. Mare Bath
Speaker 4: is going to kick it off, and you know the
Speaker 4: team will ride on double decker buses forty five minutes
Speaker 4: through downtown LA. Then they're turning around going to Dodger Stadium,
Speaker 4: and it almost feels, you know, it was interesting. And
Speaker 4: during the press conference yesterday they talked about the fact
Speaker 4: that government buildings would be open, and that a lot
Speaker 4: of the you know, businesses and services down here would
Speaker 4: be open. It's hard to imagine there's anything else actually
Speaker 4: going on in town when you look around at the
Speaker 4: scene here, there are just Dodger fans everywhere they are.
Speaker 4: They are lining the streets, and like I said, that
Speaker 4: the parade route is going to be going around, at
Speaker 4: least for where I'm sitting at at first in Spring
Speaker 4: Street here, the parade route's going to be going by
Speaker 4: a group of people that's probably go sixty seventy maybe
Speaker 4: in some cases a one hundred feet back, just trying
Speaker 4: to watch this team parade through. And I think part
Speaker 4: of that really is the excitement, you know, the fact
Speaker 4: that in twenty twenty, these fans weren't given the opportunity
Speaker 4: to have the sort of celebration.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, the helicopter shots we've seen from local TV
Speaker 2: make it seem like this is I mean, it's one
Speaker 2: of the larger gatherings that I've ever seen in La
Speaker 2: Whether it's a protest or a parade.
Speaker 3: Of any kind.
Speaker 2: So all right, we'll check back in with you, Blake,
Speaker 2: Thank you appreciate.
Speaker 4: It, all right, guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then the I mean all hands on deck
Speaker 2: kind of attitude that lapd la KUINNT of Sheriff's Department,
Speaker 2: the CHP they've all got because of that number sheer
Speaker 2: number of people downtown, not that anything dangerous, is not
Speaker 2: inherently dangerous that there's that many people, but it doesn't
Speaker 2: take much for it to become a potential problem.
Speaker 3: So let's hope everything goes well.
Speaker 7: Do you want kids to get nived at school? I'm
Speaker 7: not listening to kfimployed by you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was your suggestion.
Speaker 7: Faarn immediately for advocating setting fire to buses. That is
Speaker 7: absolutely not called for. I will not listen to any
Speaker 7: more KFI for as long as she is employed by
Speaker 7: your company.
Speaker 3: Yes, that was a really good callback.
Speaker 2: There is a takedown of the Riverside County jail system
Speaker 2: in the New York Times.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there were nineteen detainees that died at Riverside County
Speaker 1: jails in twenty twenty two. That total is the highest
Speaker 1: of the department had reported in at least three decades.
Speaker 2: There's an underlying theme in this very lengthy article. They
Speaker 2: reprinted it in the La Times as well, and you
Speaker 2: can check it out. Of the nineteen detainees who died
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two, it was the highest, like you said,
Speaker 2: that they've been in three decades, and a lot of
Speaker 2: them attributed to homicide, overdose, natural causes and suicide. And
Speaker 2: they take issue with specific with the suicides, at least
Speaker 2: in the first part of this article, because the sort
Speaker 2: of the insinuation is that the Sheriff's Department and those
Speaker 2: that are working the jails haven't done anything to protect
Speaker 2: these people from killing themselves. When you set your mind
Speaker 2: to it, sometimes there's not much that anybody else can do.
Speaker 3: They said.
Speaker 1: Guards did not always enforce rules prohibiting detainees with mental
Speaker 1: illnesses from blocking cell windows and cameras, which hinders the
Speaker 1: required safety monitoring. The department has often isolated detainees with
Speaker 1: severe mental illness, which can obviously exacerbate suicidal intentions.
Speaker 2: Alicia Upton was a nineteen year old. She was a
Speaker 2: young detainee and she eventually killed herself. She hanged herself
Speaker 2: as the thread she hanged herself with a bed sheet
Speaker 2: in jail. When interviewed, her mom's mom said she recalled
Speaker 2: believing that she was going on a fleeting adventure before
Speaker 2: settling back home. This is in West Virginia. She was resolute,
Speaker 2: she had fixed her mind on something from a young age.
Speaker 2: She was an animal lover. They tried to, you know,
Speaker 2: personalize this young woman and had shown no signs of
Speaker 2: mental health problems when she left home, gone to counseling
Speaker 2: years earlier after the suicide of a close friend. But
Speaker 2: mom said she was pretty confident that her daughter was
Speaker 2: very resilient. And then after what turned out to be
Speaker 2: a misdemeanor after struggling with drugs, she ends up in.
Speaker 3: In jail after trespassing. She has shown up homeless.
Speaker 2: She was trespassing in San Ja Cinto and ended up
Speaker 2: in this Riverside County jail. But the mom seems to
Speaker 2: believe that it's the sheriff's department's responsibility for treatment in
Speaker 2: these cases. And it feels like we as a state,
Speaker 2: as a county, even are piling onto our law enforcement
Speaker 2: officers too many times. It's the requirement for mental health adjudication,
Speaker 2: diagnoses and then treatment and practice like that's not what
Speaker 2: they're supposed to do.
Speaker 1: That's not what they sign up for, and it's too
Speaker 1: much and they're not trained to deal with that. In
Speaker 1: many cases, that's why you have nine to one one
Speaker 1: calls in some jurisdictions being triaged in terms of do
Speaker 1: we send law enforcement or do we send a mental
Speaker 1: health expert? And you have to do the same thing
Speaker 1: in the jails, I would assume as well, Yeah, and stop.
Speaker 1: It's the pressure should not be on the law enforcement officers. Yes,
Speaker 1: there's sometimes the front line. They are the ones that
Speaker 1: are closest to those people who might be in mental distress,
Speaker 1: like this young woman, But they're not the ones that
Speaker 1: should be responsible for that. You then have to put
Speaker 1: pressure on your local politicians, or your local hospitals, or
Speaker 1: your health insurance company something like that. Those are the
Speaker 1: more capable of dealing with these mental distress is that
Speaker 1: exists too many times?
Speaker 3: That's depressing.
Speaker 9: I know.
Speaker 3: Can we talk about something happy, like the squirrel? We
Speaker 3: could do that. That's a cute name for a squirrel,
Speaker 3: isn't it. Peanut? Yeah, it's cute.
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know what else you probably name
Speaker 1: it like Frank or something. No, not a squirrel, No,
Speaker 1: Stephen Steven.
Speaker 2: Okay, Dodgers, the World Champs just you can listen to
Speaker 2: coverage of the championship celebration on A five to seventy
Speaker 2: LA Sports and the NHD on the iHeart Radio app
Speaker 2: used that keyword. AM five to seventy LA Sports presented
Speaker 2: in part by Budweiser because this.
Speaker 3: Buds for you. Do you want your Jeopardy question? I'd
Speaker 3: love it. It's been a while Tales of Horror for twelve
Speaker 3: hundred dollars doing that, but we turned the page. This
Speaker 3: is the last day. Probably horror is.
Speaker 1: In the title of this book, in which the Lutz
Speaker 1: family learned that sometimes buying a murder home isn't worth it.
Speaker 3: Ah the oh Amityville Horror, very good, ding ding ding.
Speaker 3: I guess I have to say, what is Amityville horror?
Speaker 8: I've been in prisons in over twenty different countries, from
Speaker 8: Central America to South America, to Africa to India.
Speaker 3: What did you do?
Speaker 8: The European area and the United States, and our jails
Speaker 8: are cushy, and that's why people go there and stay
Speaker 8: there and want to go back. You go to a
Speaker 8: jail in another country. You don't want to be there.
Speaker 8: You don't get food or clothing, and it's terrible. And
Speaker 8: so there's not a lot of repeat offense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and a lot of time in a lot of places.
Speaker 2: If you're going to eat when you're in jail, it's
Speaker 2: because your family's bringing you food.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Are we going to gloss over that he's been
Speaker 3: in that many.
Speaker 2: Well, he didn't say that he was put there through
Speaker 2: the law enforcement or through the judicial system.
Speaker 3: He was I want to know what in prisons.
Speaker 2: Speaking of which, though, there was a South Florida bank
Speaker 2: robber who did not plead for leniency last week winning
Speaker 2: was sentenced.
Speaker 3: His guy is Terry Meach. He said, I like to
Speaker 3: be in prison.
Speaker 2: Please could you consider giving me the max or the
Speaker 2: most time so that I could get back to my
Speaker 2: normal life in a controlled environment. And last week that
Speaker 2: the district court judge gave him all he wanted, twenty
Speaker 2: years in federal prison, the maximum for one count of
Speaker 2: bank robbery.
Speaker 1: Downtown LA covered with Dodger fans, the stadium parking lot
Speaker 1: already filling up for the event. Later today, at twelve fifteen,
Speaker 1: when the team has made its way through the parade,
Speaker 1: route and into Chavez Ravine. There is a lot of
Speaker 1: people there, thousands and thousands.
Speaker 3: Of people because they never got to celebrate.
Speaker 1: The twenty twenty World Series either, so there's pent up excitement.
Speaker 1: Corbin Carson is there and joins us now from the
Speaker 1: parade route.
Speaker 3: Corbin, what's happening.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Shannon, Thank you Gary. These people do not want
Speaker 9: to be in jail. They do not want to controlled environment.
Speaker 9: The excitement out here is palpable. The joy is true.
Speaker 9: It's a true party. I'm at the end of the
Speaker 9: parade at Fifth and Flower. We're fans of Line the Streets.
Speaker 9: I'm telling me. They got here early as five to
Speaker 9: get a front row seat, their lawn, lawn chairs, tens.
Speaker 9: They got these banners. Last time I talked to you, guys,
Speaker 9: I told you about this guy who set up a
Speaker 9: full bar at Fifth and Grant, So I had to
Speaker 9: talk to him and ask him what he's trying to
Speaker 9: pull off?
Speaker 7: Everyone?
Speaker 3: Can I ask you what you got here?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: Man, man, it's g money.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, the best that ever did it.
Speaker 3: And hope I can get away with it. Man, You
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, and I appreciate this man, I
Speaker 3: love la. What are you offering right here? I'm offering
Speaker 3: happy hour drinks right now. Yeah, this happy hour right
Speaker 3: now at eight thirty in the morning. Give me an
Speaker 3: idea of what you're offering. Give me, give me what
Speaker 3: are the selections? Conyac, tequila, vodka and whiskey. Kays offer
Speaker 3: ten to twenty bucks top Shells. Come on down. I mean,
Speaker 3: you can't beat it.
Speaker 9: It's early, late in the morning, and these people are
Speaker 9: getting as happy as possible. You also have been. I've
Speaker 9: also been asking fans about their favorite moaning moment and
Speaker 9: if you were just listening to the news, this lady
Speaker 9: who said she was super overjoyed. She talked about her
Speaker 9: favorite player of the series, Freddy Freeman, obviously leading my
Speaker 9: unofficial poll, but here she is talking about her favorite moment, Judge.
Speaker 6: Judge misses the catch and I'm like, okay, what's going
Speaker 6: on there? And then didn't cover first yes, and then
Speaker 6: the third base.
Speaker 8: Wasn't wasn't covered.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, because I was ready to.
Speaker 6: Get up and leave because I thought, you know, mookieve out.
Speaker 6: And then I stopped and I.
Speaker 3: Looked and I said, what just happened? Totally?
Speaker 6: And then it kept going, and it kept going, and
Speaker 6: we were tied five to five, and I had another drink.
Speaker 3: Rade me for you guys.
Speaker 9: Here's what it means.
Speaker 6: It's a little bit like a redemption because people talked
Speaker 6: crap about us winning in twenty twenty, saying that it
Speaker 6: wasn't a real series and we didn't play as many
Speaker 6: games and la da da da. Well they can't say
Speaker 6: anything now because we won say series, play all these
Speaker 6: games a lot more than the twenties winning games.
Speaker 3: So yeah, So there you have you, guys.
Speaker 9: I'm out here. We're waiting for the parade to start
Speaker 9: in about twenty minutes.
Speaker 3: That's at City Hall.
Speaker 9: It'll run for about forty five minutes and it'll end
Speaker 9: right here at Fifth and Flowers.
Speaker 2: Well, I have it on good authority that most of
Speaker 2: the double decker buses that will be carrying the team
Speaker 2: members have been filled, so they are about to start.
Speaker 2: They are getting ready to get it looks like they
Speaker 2: will start on time.
Speaker 1: Carbon Carson, a man who surrounds himself with strong, intelligent women,
Speaker 1: appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Thanks, Guysurb Carson there at the end of the parade rounde.
Speaker 3: That's pretty good. I think you should check the carbon
Speaker 3: monoxide detectors in your office. Seriously, it keeps stroking out
Speaker 3: every day, not every day, just Wednesdays and Friday morning.
Speaker 10: Gary and Channon, I'm all in about this handle of
Speaker 10: ending Tomulus granddaughter story. But on a sider side note
Speaker 10: about this whole candy thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, candy Amnesty day.
Speaker 10: I'm the Stone and I totally forgot.
Speaker 3: It's not a stroke. Oh my goodness. Well, Peanut is
Speaker 3: the name of a squirrel.
Speaker 2: Oh, Peanut was taken away, Peanut and Fred the raccoon.
Speaker 2: Multiple anonymous complaints about Peanut spelled p apostrophe nut brought
Speaker 2: at least six officers from the New York State Department
Speaker 2: of Environmental Conservation to Mark Longo's home near the Pennsylvania
Speaker 2: border in rural Pine City this week. Mark said, the
Speaker 2: DEEC came to my house and raided my house without
Speaker 2: a search warrant to find a squirrel. I was treated
Speaker 2: as if I was a drug dealer and they were
Speaker 2: going for drugs and guns.
Speaker 1: This is a squirrel who amassed hundreds of thousands of
Speaker 1: followers on Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms during his seven
Speaker 1: years with this guy.
Speaker 3: How long does squirrels last. That's a good question. I
Speaker 3: would imagine that they are.
Speaker 1: That's about squirrel life expectancy. The average lifespan of a
Speaker 1: gray squirrel is six years, but they can live up
Speaker 1: to twelve years in the wild and twenty years in captivity.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's incredible. If he's being taken care of, you
Speaker 2: can have a squirrel longer than a dog. We could
Speaker 2: assume that the peanut is being taken care of. Longo
Speaker 2: runs an animal refuge inspired by his squirrel buddy, called
Speaker 2: called Peanuts Freedom Farm Animal Sanctuary.
Speaker 1: They said, well, Internet, you one. You took one of
Speaker 1: the most amazing animals away from me because of your selfishness.
Speaker 3: There's a special place in hell for you.
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, he said, he doesn't even know if
Speaker 2: Peanut is alive, and he's afraid that the dec euthanized him.
Speaker 2: The DEEC has not responded to a question from the
Speaker 2: reporter at NBC about whether not Peanut was you.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't take away Peanut just to kill him. Do
Speaker 1: you know the origin story? This guy says he saw
Speaker 1: Peanut's mother get hit by a car in New York
Speaker 1: City seven years ago.
Speaker 3: Was it his car?
Speaker 1: Leaving the tiny squirrel an orphan, so he brought Peanut
Speaker 1: home and cared for him for eight months before trying
Speaker 1: to release Peanut into the great outdoors. But a day
Speaker 1: and a half later, he found Peanuts sitting on the
Speaker 1: porch missing half of his tail, with his bones sticking out.
Speaker 3: Which bone I do not know. It just says his bone,
Speaker 3: his bone. How many bones does squirrels have?
Speaker 2: Well, he's got bones in his tail or had. Soon after,
Speaker 2: Longo posted videos of Peanut playing with his cat, and
Speaker 2: that immediately went viral Instagram.
Speaker 1: Fame followed that I think that, well, the squirrel typically
Speaker 1: has seventy eight bones, but I'm assuming it's the bone.
Speaker 3: From his tail bone just not just one.
Speaker 1: Well, it is just the one, I mean bone. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to have this fight with you. You go ahead,
Speaker 1: I Am not going to have this fight with you.
Speaker 3: How many bones are in a tail? Squirrel? Squirrel? Tail? Done?
Speaker 6: Not going to do it? What?
Speaker 3: Wait?
Speaker 1: So how do we find out if he is still
Speaker 1: with us?
Speaker 3: They they they're just they're.
Speaker 2: Going to have to call the Department of Environmental Conservation
Speaker 2: for the State of New York.
Speaker 3: Why would they take it away? Just why would they
Speaker 3: euthanize it?
Speaker 10: Right?
Speaker 2: Unless they found that the peanut was very, very sick.
Speaker 2: They wouldn't do that, right.
Speaker 1: I got to say, in this picture of Peanut in
Speaker 1: his little cowboy hat.
Speaker 3: He doesn't look well. How would you decide if a
Speaker 3: squirrel looked well?
Speaker 1: Well, we see the live and well squirrel downstairs all
Speaker 1: the time.
Speaker 3: Kind of squirrel is it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: What kind?
Speaker 3: Huh huh? I'm trying to find out what kind of
Speaker 3: squirrel it is. Don't forget this. Because there's a ground squirrel.
Speaker 1: There's a red squirrel, there's a gray squirrel. There's a
Speaker 1: fox squirrel. I believe that's a ground squirrel. The ones
Speaker 1: out here, I believe are gray squirrels. Okay, if this
Speaker 1: is a ground squirrel, then their average live span is
Speaker 1: three to four years in the wild, but six years
Speaker 1: in captivity.
Speaker 3: So Peanut may have he's living knocking on on, he's
Speaker 3: knocking on Heaven's door. We're just about to get the uh.
Speaker 3: Is that Dodger Stadium? Yes? Oh that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, So the buses are leaving Dodger Stadium right
Speaker 2: with the players, et cetera on board, they'll make their
Speaker 2: way downtown.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: That's a perfect place because they come back.
Speaker 2: I was going to ask that it seems that there
Speaker 2: would be a logistical issue if they were just going
Speaker 2: to park their cars.
Speaker 3: Freddie Freeman's wife's just dropping them off. Yeah, I'll see
Speaker 3: you later, honey. I'm gonna stop by this store on
Speaker 3: the way. And a quick clarification.
Speaker 8: I've been in prisons in over twenty different countries, from
Speaker 8: Central America to South America, to Africa, to India, the
Speaker 8: European area and the United States, and.
Speaker 2: We wanted to know how in the world do you
Speaker 2: get into jail thrown into jail in all those places,
Speaker 2: not thrown in went involuntarily.
Speaker 8: Hey, guys, this is Rayke Agana is the one who's
Speaker 8: been in all those prisons. The reason why is because
Speaker 8: I'm a evangelist, a minister, and I travel all over
Speaker 8: the world showing God's power of saying. But I speak
Speaker 8: in a lot of prisons to bring hope, and we
Speaker 8: always bring food and clothing in as well for people.
Speaker 8: But that's why I've been in so many prisons. You
Speaker 8: can see me at TJMI dot net Talkative No.
Speaker 1: Thank you, appreciate what is it? I think we need
Speaker 1: an evangelist prisons.
Speaker 8: You can see me at TJMI dot net talka to
Speaker 8: lative pain d g M I, t m I.
Speaker 1: T j m I c j m I dot dot net.
Speaker 1: Because we could bring in somebody to spread the word.
Speaker 3: Cleanse this place, cleanse this half. Yeah there is Rick.
Speaker 3: Would you do this? Would you do this? This app
Speaker 3: for the things for friends for later in life?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: I I have a lot of friends I've attained through childhood.
Speaker 3: Well, I just have a lot of friends from from
Speaker 3: like high school and stuff. I have zero friends from
Speaker 3: high school. I mean it is because I moved, But
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Everybody moves, right, do they like my friends in high school?
Speaker 3: From high school or all over the place like this,
Speaker 3: all over the place? You don't have anyone you still
Speaker 3: talk to. I have a couple of people on Facebook,
Speaker 3: but it's not like they live around. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't hang out with anybody. How's that from that
Speaker 1: I new in high school? None of mine live here?
Speaker 1: None of mine live here?
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you still see them, right because I travel
Speaker 3: to go see them.
Speaker 2: Rarely have I ever seen any of them? My sisters
Speaker 2: both have some friends.
Speaker 3: It's probably more of a female thing. Is that what
Speaker 3: it is? Because we pick up the phone. You know what.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we pick up the phone and we call each
Speaker 1: other regularly and check in and we talk and we
Speaker 1: gab and we gossip.
Speaker 3: Walk walk walk walk.
Speaker 1: And you don't you're not a big uh. You're not
Speaker 1: a big talker.
Speaker 3: Huh. I don't see you picking up the phone to
Speaker 3: just chat with people. No?
Speaker 2: No, is that why when I call you always ask
Speaker 2: what's wrong?
Speaker 3: You don't. I don't think you call You've ever called?
Speaker 3: I have? Okay, Well, that's okay.
Speaker 2: When when my dad died? Yeah, and when when my
Speaker 2: mom died before that? Right, I'm sure there's other times
Speaker 2: I've called.
Speaker 1: But it is very hard to make friends as an adult.
Speaker 1: And so there was an app that is seeking to
Speaker 1: fill that void. It's called Time Left, and this was
Speaker 1: in the Philadelphia Inquirer. They say Time Left is becoming
Speaker 1: the go to for a growing number of people in
