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: This is a taper, Oh, I see so not.
Speaker 3: It almost looks like an elephant trunk that was removed
Speaker 3: a certain part. We are following the big story out
Speaker 3: of Madison, Wisconsin today. CNN is still running with two killed,
Speaker 3: but we saw I don't know why they're still doing that.
Speaker 2: I don't know why they're still doing that either.
Speaker 3: In the midst of that news conference a short time
Speaker 3: ago from Madison, Wisconsin police Chief Sean Barnes, he announced
Speaker 3: early that it was three people dead, including the shooter,
Speaker 3: and before he was done, somebody from his staff had
Speaker 3: come up and informed him that the numbers had changed,
Speaker 3: that the shooter at Abundant Life Christian School had apparently
Speaker 3: is one of five people who was killed, and then
Speaker 3: five others were injured and taken to hospitals. At this point,
Speaker 3: we don't know the makeup of the list who's on
Speaker 3: the list of who was killed other than the shooter.
Speaker 3: The chief did say that he believes that the shooter
Speaker 3: was a student there at the school. And again this
Speaker 3: Christian Life this abundant life. Christian School is a K
Speaker 3: through twelve school with about four hundred students, almost four
Speaker 3: hundred students, so that could have been someone as old
Speaker 3: as eighteen years old.
Speaker 1: He said that police officers who responded did not fire
Speaker 1: their weapons, that they found the shooter dead on arrival
Speaker 1: when they got there, of course, insinuating that the shooter
Speaker 1: took his or her life. But yeah, very little information
Speaker 1: in terms of are these all students, are they staff members?
Speaker 2: What went on? This morning? At about eleven o'clock local.
Speaker 1: Time, which would have been nine hour time, officers arrived
Speaker 1: some of the first responders from three miles away where
Speaker 1: they were doing active shooter training this morning when they
Speaker 1: got the call.
Speaker 2: Raced Over.
Speaker 1: Says that their job when they arrived was to stop
Speaker 1: the killing, stop the dying, and find who did this.
Speaker 1: It's kind of the triage that they practice over and
Speaker 1: over again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and in terms of training, he was saying that
Speaker 3: they the command staff level officers had just done a
Speaker 3: trading a couple of weeks ago for a mass casualty
Speaker 3: event like this, and then it was at the time
Speaker 3: at the time the shooting took place a couple of
Speaker 3: hours ago, their special event medical team was training at
Speaker 3: a facility but just about three miles away, so they
Speaker 3: were able to get in get into that school very
Speaker 3: very quickly and may have made an impact in terms
Speaker 3: of the number of lives lost and saved some of
Speaker 3: those lives.
Speaker 2: But again no motive.
Speaker 3: Obviously were way too early for that. That may be
Speaker 3: something that they talk about in a couple of hours
Speaker 3: when they hold another news conference. But again, Madison, Wisconsin,
Speaker 3: the shooting at Abundant Life Christian School five people killed,
Speaker 3: including the shooter, than five injured as well. A new
Speaker 3: motion from a couple of La County supervisors would declare
Speaker 3: the emptying of Los Patrinos Juvenile Hall a local emergency.
Speaker 3: If you remember, the state was legally sorry. The facility
Speaker 3: was legally required by the state to close last Thursday,
Speaker 3: but Ali County defied the state law and the Bureau
Speaker 3: of Corrections, et cetera, because they needed to keep this
Speaker 3: thing open. If they don't, they've got two hundred and
Speaker 3: sixty something juvenile offenders who will be allowed back into
Speaker 3: the neighborhood. So you have a couple of La County supervisors.
Speaker 3: I believe it's Hilda Slice and Catherine Barger, who have
Speaker 3: put together a resolution that would declare a local emergency.
Speaker 3: This would allow the deployment of what they call disaster
Speaker 3: service workers and law enforcement to the Juvenile Hall to
Speaker 3: help facilitate keeping that thing open. Otherwise, they say the
Speaker 3: danger to neighborhoods would be extreme peril because they would
Speaker 3: simply be released back into their neighborhoods.
Speaker 1: Pardoning Mayor of New York Eric Adams, the polio vaccine,
Speaker 1: and drones. They were all on the table at Trump's
Speaker 1: free willing press conference this morning at mar A Lago.
Speaker 2: That's where we begin. Swamp watching.
Speaker 3: Swamp is horrible government, make it like a reality TV
Speaker 3: shooting bad noos.
Speaker 2: Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C.
Speaker 2: Hey Joe, a town all too clearly built on a
Speaker 2: swamp in so many ways, still a swamp. A batch
Speaker 2: of malarkey, boy said, drained the swamp. I said, Oh,
Speaker 2: that's so hell.
Speaker 1: You know the thing. Trump held court with reporters for
Speaker 1: the first time since he won the election securing that
Speaker 1: second term, and everything was on the table.
Speaker 2: Keep going, I find it.
Speaker 1: He called on the Biden administration to stop selling off
Speaker 1: unused portions of the southern border wall, threatening legal action.
Speaker 1: He says, we're going to spend hundreds and millions of
Speaker 1: dollars more on building the same wall we already have.
Speaker 1: It's almost a criminal act. He said that the country
Speaker 1: would not lose the polio vaccine and he would consider
Speaker 1: pardoning and battled New York Mayor Eric Adams as well.
Speaker 2: The issue of the polio vaccine thing came up.
Speaker 3: We talked last week about RFK Junior, and he was
Speaker 3: going to be making his rounds today talking with some
Speaker 3: Republican lawmakers about his plans for Health and Human Services
Speaker 3: if he is in fact confirmed as the Secretary of HHS.
Speaker 2: And there was a.
Speaker 3: Story that came out that a lawyer who once worked
Speaker 3: with RFK Junior was petitioning the FDA on behalf of
Speaker 3: someone else, in no connection to RFK Junior, but it
Speaker 3: was petitioning the FDA to pull the approval for the
Speaker 3: polio vaccine.
Speaker 2: It's not going to happen. That's not the I mean, they're.
Speaker 3: Just because that shot in the dark was taken doesn't
Speaker 3: mean it's about to happen. And when asked about RFK Junior,
Speaker 3: Trump said.
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be much less radical than
Speaker 1: you would think.
Speaker 2: I think he's got a very open mind, or I
Speaker 2: wouldn't have put him there. He's going to be very
Speaker 2: much less radical. But there are problems.
Speaker 4: I mean, we don't do as well as a lot
Speaker 4: of other nations, and those nations use nothing.
Speaker 3: I don't know what he's talking about there again, it's
Speaker 3: the language is such a weird it. He may have
Speaker 3: said ten more words in his head than actually came
Speaker 3: out of his mouth, but this.
Speaker 2: But there are problems.
Speaker 4: I mean, we don't do as well as a lot
Speaker 4: of other nations, and those nations use nothing, and.
Speaker 2: Those nations use nothing.
Speaker 3: Now, he did go on from that point and talk
Speaker 3: about a meeting that he had with the head of Lily,
Speaker 3: the head of Pfizer, and RFK Junior, talking about vaccines
Speaker 3: and pharmaceuticals and why it is that Americans pay pantloads
Speaker 3: more money I mean orders of magnitude higher than other
Speaker 3: countries when it comes to some of our prescription drugs,
Speaker 3: and how to battle against that.
Speaker 1: He also talked about the drones, the drone sidings over
Speaker 1: the parts of New Jersey, Eastern US some around here.
Speaker 1: He insisted that the government knows what is happening. He said,
Speaker 1: our military knows, and our president knows, and for some reason,
Speaker 1: they want to keep people in suspense, he said, without
Speaker 1: offering evidence of that, refusing to say whether he had
Speaker 1: been briefed on the sidings.
Speaker 3: Just a quick drone aspect that we talked about a
Speaker 3: little earlier. Alejandro Majorcis, the Secretary of Homeland Security, is
Speaker 3: supposed to be on top of this, and he has
Speaker 3: said that they're asking for additional resources. But he also
Speaker 3: had said he would like it if the laws were allowed,
Speaker 3: if the law allowed state and local authorities to shoot
Speaker 3: these things down, if they could.
Speaker 1: Also, why do you need additional resources? We have a
Speaker 1: lot of resources when it comes to local, state, federal
Speaker 1: law enforcement.
Speaker 2: What more do you need?
Speaker 3: Maybe, or I would say this about all politicians, The
Speaker 3: first answer is all we need is a little bit
Speaker 3: more money.
Speaker 4: I want to make sure the American public that we
Speaker 4: in the federal government have deployed additional resources, personnel, technology
Speaker 4: to assist the New Jersey State Police in addressing the
Speaker 4: drone sightings. Some of those drone sightings are in fact drones,
Speaker 4: Some are manned aircraft that are commonly mistaken for drones.
Speaker 2: Okay, here's the thing.
Speaker 3: He's got a challenge on his hands, as does everybody
Speaker 3: in the administration, from federal, state, local. Whatever information you have,
Speaker 3: you had better come forward with it, because we lose
Speaker 3: trust in our agencies when they can't tell us an answer.
Speaker 1: Speaking of that, Madison continues to be muddled.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Fox News is reporting three dead including the shooter, going
Speaker 1: back to the regional report from the police chief that
Speaker 1: was amended to five dead including the shooter.
Speaker 3: Numbers are all over the place. They need another news
Speaker 3: conference pretty quick. Yeah, we are following the storing out
Speaker 3: of Madison, Wisconsin, a shooting at Abundant Life Christian School there.
Speaker 3: Madison Police Chief Sean Barnes said there were three people killed,
Speaker 3: including a child at that school shooting. Said that a
Speaker 3: suspect who is also a student at the school was
Speaker 3: among the dead, apparently self inflicted gunshot wound. At least
Speaker 3: six others are injured.
Speaker 1: Now, then a woman with the police department or with
Speaker 1: some sort of organization jumped in interrupted him and said,
Speaker 1: our new totals are five dead and five injured. And
Speaker 1: now they've gone back on that and they're back to
Speaker 1: the three people killed including the shooter.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they posted on Facebook shooting update colon at this
Speaker 3: time three people deceased. During the media briefing earlier this
Speaker 3: after it was erroneously shared five were deceased, but they
Speaker 3: said again three people deceased. Nine in total were injured,
Speaker 3: including those three deceased, and then it gives information about
Speaker 3: a reunification center. The next media briefing scheduled for what
Speaker 3: would be two thirty. Uh, it's two thirty, so twelve
Speaker 3: thirty our time, and we'll see if we get information.
Speaker 3: Here's the thing that at a time like this, in
Speaker 3: a town like Madison, Wisconsin, you have the I mean,
Speaker 3: the difference between three dead and five dead. It's just
Speaker 3: tragedy upon tragedy. It's not like you can compound the tragedy.
Speaker 3: But if you're a parent and you are still looking
Speaker 3: for your kid and that number goes up, that's egregious error.
Speaker 2: That is, I mean, that is.
Speaker 3: I can't describe how angry I would have been if
Speaker 3: I was the chief of police and somebody interrupted me, yeah,
Speaker 3: to give the wrong first of all, interrupting me to
Speaker 3: give to give any information. I am the chief of police.
Speaker 3: This is what I am doing. If you have something
Speaker 3: that you want to say, you wait until the end
Speaker 3: and hand me a note case. She completely interrupted him
Speaker 3: and said, oh, we just got an update from the
Speaker 3: band staff. It's five dead and five which was incorrect information.
Speaker 1: I don't know how that happens, but yeah, you're right,
Speaker 1: you said off the air, what's that meeting like between
Speaker 1: her and her boss and the police chief or what
Speaker 1: have you?
Speaker 2: Who and who? In the well?
Speaker 3: She didn't make it up. I mean, she heard it
Speaker 3: from somebody so she could pass the buck. But that's
Speaker 3: just that's I mean, I can't imagine what that's going
Speaker 3: to sound like.
Speaker 2: And how do you who screws that up?
Speaker 1: Multiple people screw that up, somebody who ever told her
Speaker 1: screwed that up? She screwed up, and cutting off the
Speaker 1: police chief making him sound like he had the incorrect information.
Speaker 3: Nancy Pelosi had hip surgery. She's eighty four. I don't
Speaker 3: know how to. I don't know why you can't. You can't, sugarcart.
Speaker 3: It's not great. Everybody who knows her, at least the
Speaker 3: comments I've seen, said that she keeps herself in pretty
Speaker 3: good health, and that's good going into that, but hip
Speaker 3: replacement at eighty four is not it is not great
Speaker 3: Speaker by Johnson's gonna have an uphill climb. Some Republicans
Speaker 3: have been upset with him because he could not get
Speaker 3: an agreement to add economic aid for farmers to the
Speaker 3: next stop gap spending bill. So as Congress comes back
Speaker 3: into session in the beginning of January for the new
Speaker 3: session of Congress, I should say, they have to vote
Speaker 3: for another speaker, or they have to vote for speaker again.
Speaker 3: And he's going to have an uphill climb to make
Speaker 3: sure that he stays on as Speaker of the House.
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom lost one of his top aids, probably as
Speaker 1: top aid as chief of staff. Who's just a killer
Speaker 1: in Sacramento. Dana Williamson is her name, and she's leaving.
Speaker 1: We don't know why, but she was his enforcer at
Speaker 1: the capitol, top liaison connection to those powerful labor unions
Speaker 1: and business interests across California.
Speaker 2: She going to go work for Kamala Harris. No, that
Speaker 2: would not be.
Speaker 3: The other big thing that happened over the weekend was
Speaker 3: this settlement between ABC News and President elect Trump where
Speaker 3: he was going to sue them for defamation because of
Speaker 3: that interview that George Stephanopolois did with Nancy Mays back
Speaker 3: in I think it was March, and he kept referring
Speaker 3: to Trump having been found liable for rape, and he
Speaker 3: said it. I think they counted up nine or ten
Speaker 3: times he said that in the interview that wasn't The
Speaker 3: topic was how could Nancy Mace support this guy after
Speaker 3: he was, according to George Stephanopolis, found civilly liable for rape.
Speaker 3: Now it's an argument that it was weird because Stephanopoulos
Speaker 3: was saying, well, the judge basically said that people and
Speaker 3: people commonly understand that word sexual abuse and rape as
Speaker 3: the same thing. That was his that was going to
Speaker 3: be his defense. But the state of New York has
Speaker 3: a very specific definition of those two terms. And the
Speaker 3: way it was found against Trump is what or was
Speaker 3: that he was civilly liable for sexual abuse but not rape.
Speaker 2: ABC knew that they blew it.
Speaker 3: George Stephanopolis said, he wasn't going to allow, you know,
Speaker 3: people to shove him around and put words in his mouth.
Speaker 3: But he got it wrong. So ABC's have to cut
Speaker 3: a check for fifteen million dollars. It goes I believe
Speaker 3: it goes to like the Trump future Presidential Library and
Speaker 3: then they pay another million bucks for Trump's legal fees
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 2: But not a good look for ABC.
Speaker 1: Have you heard of off gus alf guse alf guse
Speaker 1: a German sauna ritual that translates to infusion. It is
Speaker 1: popular in the German speaking world. Practice lasts about fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1: Usually involves a shaun ameister sauna meister or two directing
Speaker 1: air onto your body with fans and towels. They infuse
Speaker 1: the stifling air with various aromas.
Speaker 3: This has become a thing. I first of all, I
Speaker 3: apparently do not go into group saunas enough. They've never
Speaker 3: been in one where there's enough room for or alf goose.
Speaker 1: Well, I go to hot yoga and it's pretty tight
Speaker 1: in there, and you're not wearing a hell of a
Speaker 1: lot of clothes, and I do like it at the
Speaker 1: end when they come by, and sometimes they'll like fan
Speaker 1: you with the towel when you're in chivasna and don't
Speaker 1: worry about it, and they will spray various aromas or
Speaker 1: they'll wave them in front of you. There's something with
Speaker 1: the aroma and this breeze in the really hot place
Speaker 1: that's very calming and soothing and grounding, but I would
Speaker 1: want to be naked naked naked the right people are
Speaker 1: all naked naked.
Speaker 3: The writer for Wall Street Journal has said that he
Speaker 3: had seen it offered it several ski resorts and hotels
Speaker 3: around Central Europe. As you can imagine, like you said,
Speaker 3: it's the German term alf Goose. Even some of the
Speaker 3: run of the mill places in Zurich, Switzerland, where he lives.
Speaker 3: That's popped up outside the German speaking world, the UK's
Speaker 3: first sauna festival, Sauna Verse, and in Japan during the
Speaker 3: annual World alf Goose Championship. You get fourteen minutes to
Speaker 3: do your performance whatever it is judged on seven criteria
Speaker 3: including heat control, waving technique, and dosage of fragrance.
Speaker 1: So as the tradition has evolved, some elements remain the same.
Speaker 1: You'll always find a wooden bucket of water spiked with
Speaker 1: aromatic essential oils like orange, peel, pine lemongrass. It gets
Speaker 1: tossed onto hot stones.
Speaker 3: These you can't enter while it's going out out because
Speaker 3: you got at the cold air off gus or none
Speaker 3: of it. But you could leave if for some reason
Speaker 3: you started to feel dizzy. I mean, it's the warning
Speaker 3: signs that you see over a sauna. If you start
Speaker 3: to feel faint or dizzy, you should get out of
Speaker 3: there pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: Above all, you need to be comfortable with full on
Speaker 1: co ed nudity.
Speaker 2: Bathing suits or ver bodens.
Speaker 1: People have been turned away by the saunamester for attempting
Speaker 1: to wear.
Speaker 2: A bathing suit surreptitiously.
Speaker 3: Okay, but I would imagine that some people probably would
Speaker 3: would feel more comfortable in a towel.
Speaker 2: Sure, I think you can wear naked.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can wear a towel, but you cannot wear
Speaker 1: a bathing suit underneath the towel. Why that matters to them,
Speaker 1: I don't know culture history.
Speaker 2: I don't know either. It's a very important towel.
Speaker 3: Suddenly they said there could be some health benefits of
Speaker 3: sitting what amounts to a fragrant instapot.
Speaker 2: I thought it was a funny term.
Speaker 3: The oils not only support physical health but also have
Speaker 3: a positive impact on emotional wellbeing.
Speaker 1: I love it ie system, I love a sauna. I
Speaker 1: love my hot yoga, but I wouldn't want to do
Speaker 1: it with other people and naked. I'm trying to remember
Speaker 1: the last thought that you were naked in a sauna
Speaker 1: like that. I've been to the one at the gym, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I haven't been to that gym in years. I
Speaker 1: used to go when they were all the fifteen years ago.
Speaker 1: It was all the rage, these sauna places, and you
Speaker 1: would pay like twenty bucks or whatever for a single session,
Speaker 1: and I remember going in and just feeling brand new.
Speaker 1: I think it was like a groupond that I got
Speaker 1: into at one point. And then we were at the
Speaker 1: Orange County Fair and they sell like personal saunas for
Speaker 1: your home, and so my husband got me one for
Speaker 1: birthday or anniversary or something like that.
Speaker 2: I freaking love it. How many people fit in that
Speaker 2: one one person, one naked person. Okay, you'd have to
Speaker 2: be so adamant about it. Well, I'm just saying that's
Speaker 2: the way to do it. Trying to think that.
Speaker 3: My wife and I went to a resort about a
Speaker 3: year ago and there was a sauna there, but I
Speaker 3: hadn't spend very much time in it.
Speaker 2: And part of it was because I wasn't alone.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, it's a group sauna room, and
Speaker 1: you don't want Bob bro coming in with his genitals.
Speaker 2: Go on, no, no, and listen, you know, what I
Speaker 2: mean like Bob's Harry. Oh, I don't worried about that hair.
Speaker 3: I want everybody to be at the same level of
Speaker 3: comfort with nudity.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and how.
Speaker 3: If it does if there's this, if there's a range there,
Speaker 3: and how comfortable Bob is letting it all hang out?
Speaker 1: Would you do like you would sit there with your
Speaker 1: towel draped over you right right?
Speaker 2: Would you do this? Do this with your leg? No? No,
Speaker 2: I don't know. Am I stretching in the sauna? Some
Speaker 2: men are spreaders. Are you a spreader? You're not like that?
Speaker 2: Open legs like this? Or are you like a cross?
Speaker 2: I don't cross my leg with a towel on. That
Speaker 2: defeats the purpose.
Speaker 1: Right well, you're just the towels only there to shield
Speaker 1: your genitals. Right right now, Say Bob come in sans
Speaker 1: towel and sits down with his hair all over the place.
Speaker 3: And it's one thing if he sits down and just
Speaker 3: like plulls his eyes and gets in his own little
Speaker 3: zone and he's off in the corner.
Speaker 2: But if he wants to start talking.
Speaker 3: To me, I appreciate it. I know you're a friendly guy,
Speaker 3: But you know, Christmas, does that make.
Speaker 2: You a weirdo that you won't engage with naked Harry Bob.
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
Speaker 3: Are people who are that familiar that they know that
Speaker 3: they could make people uncomfortable?
Speaker 1: What if naked Harry Bob talk to you about baseball
Speaker 1: or something? Could you look past the genitals and just
Speaker 1: think about ball baseball.
Speaker 2: For a while? Yeah? I think you could maybe. But
Speaker 2: if he's starting with aunt right there? How to sit there?
Speaker 2: What if Sherry comes in and she's naked and boobs
Speaker 2: hanging out? It wasn't that kind of a sauna, do
Speaker 2: you mean there?
Speaker 1: It was two different there's a mailing female, so it's
Speaker 1: just naked Harry Bob.
Speaker 2: What if he starts sweating on you? What if he
Speaker 2: does one of these things wipe sweat off his.
Speaker 3: Brow and it kind of also that doesn't happen, But
Speaker 3: I don't know what you think happens in one of
Speaker 3: those saunas with extra people.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I wouldn't stick around. Can you see Bob
Speaker 2: in your head right now? No, Thankfully the steam is
Speaker 2: too thick. I don't have to.
Speaker 1: I have a pretty good picture in my mind. Freddy
Speaker 1: Freeman's historic walkoff grand slam ball from Game one of
Speaker 1: the World Series is sold for one point five six
Speaker 1: million dollars at auction. That might be something I would
Speaker 1: buy if I had f and you money. I'd be pretty.
Speaker 5: Cool a baseball. This baseball, I can get you a
Speaker 5: baseball for twenty five bucks. Twenty you're in charge of me.
Speaker 5: Twenty five dollars for a baseball.
Speaker 2: You just said you're willing to pay that much for
Speaker 2: a baseball.
Speaker 1: Freddy Freeman's walk off Grand Slam baseball.
Speaker 2: It didn't even win the World Series. It just won
Speaker 2: one game.
Speaker 1: Somebody is still bitter. When do pitchers and catchers report
Speaker 1: for most teams?
Speaker 3: I think it's the fourteenth, no, no, no, fifteen, sixteen,
Speaker 3: probably the seventeen.
Speaker 2: Is anything going to get better for the Giants the
Speaker 2: next season?
Speaker 3: Shortstop William Domas that just got it paid, Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 3: that'll be good.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 3: Their Korean center fielder may survive the season instead of
Speaker 3: getting injured fifty games in.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Well, that's some things to be hopeful about. I think
Speaker 1: the Giants are great, and I love that you love them.
Speaker 2: Have I ever told you that? Yeah? That's awesome.
Speaker 3: The compliments that you give are always shrouded in a
Speaker 3: little bit of doubt.
Speaker 2: I don't think so. It's like a chocolate chip cookie
Speaker 2: with just too much salt in it.
Speaker 1: It's like a chocolate chip cookie, but when you bite
Speaker 1: into it you realize it's oatmeal raisin.
Speaker 3: Those those are not chocolate chips. Yeah, yeah, that can be.
Speaker 3: That can be pretty devastating.
Speaker 2: Well, you're not, mister a compliment to down either.
Speaker 3: That I save them so that when they do come out,
Speaker 3: Uh huh, you mean more.
Speaker 2: That's true. Sometimes when you compliment, you yell it. I
Speaker 2: complimented you the other day.
Speaker 1: I did compliment me the other way, and I appreciate
Speaker 1: what did I say? You said that I did a
Speaker 1: good job at a chargers camp.
Speaker 2: That's not what I said. I said, you do a
Speaker 2: great job. That was very nice. That's what I say.
Speaker 2: It makes me uncomfortable. See, that's all.
Speaker 3: The other reason that people don't do it is because
Speaker 3: it makes people uncomfortable. My wife, My wife told me
Speaker 3: the story about she was at a store recently and
Speaker 3: noticed that one of the employees was very helpful, not
Speaker 3: overly helpful, not the kind where they're trying to sell
Speaker 3: you something, just the kind where they say, hey, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm here if you need me. No, it's from any
Speaker 3: questions or anything, and I can help you out. I'll
Speaker 3: just be walking around just fine. Yeah, and said that
Speaker 3: she saw this employee a couple of times, very very helpful,
Speaker 3: and when an older customer needed a question about a
Speaker 3: certain product, instead of saying it's over on Aisle seven,
Speaker 3: she said, I'll take you over there and show you
Speaker 3: where it is.
Speaker 2: And my wife in the parking lot sees that woman
Speaker 2: and pulls out, rolls down the window.
Speaker 3: Hey, I just want to let you know I saw
Speaker 3: you in the store just now, and I know you're leaving,
Speaker 3: but that you are a great I would hire you
Speaker 3: on the spot for any job because you were such
Speaker 3: a great employee.
Speaker 2: That's a wonderful compliment. Great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we don't do the people are uncomfortable doing that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And I think I mean your point is some people
Speaker 3: are uncomfortable hearing that.
Speaker 1: Some people don't know how to respond, that is, yes.
Speaker 1: And is it because we're out of practice because we
Speaker 1: had to stop complimenting each other. When why did we
Speaker 1: have to stop complimenting? Oh, would be taken the wrong way.
Speaker 1: I thought you met like we all looked like shlubs.
Speaker 1: During the COVID pandemic. So nobody said anything nice to me. Wow,
Speaker 1: you're wearing clean sweatpants today.
Speaker 2: Look at you. Oh you're real keeping it together. Socks
Speaker 2: don't match. You have stains on your shirt today. Oh
Speaker 2: we finally changed that sweatshirt. That looks great.
Speaker 1: So many sweatshirts from that time period, it's insane.
Speaker 6: Lord.
Speaker 3: Deborah Bloom is director of the Night Science Journalism Program
Speaker 3: at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and says, my Kentucky
Speaker 3: grandmother used to say that the easiest way to make
Speaker 3: yourself happy is to make someone else hatchy.
Speaker 2: So true.
Speaker 3: The stress of this world was made easier by stirring
Speaker 3: some kindness into the pot.
Speaker 2: Uh I okay?
Speaker 3: So but your point about compliments, is it appropriate for
Speaker 3: a man to give.
Speaker 2: Compliments to somebody? I think so to, I mean specifically
Speaker 2: to a woman, as long as it's not like nice tease.
Speaker 2: You know, there's a way to do it in a
Speaker 2: tasteful way. I like them.
Speaker 5: Earl graysh Medley's what's wrong with us?
Speaker 2: Maybe we should just not Medley.
Speaker 1: But like Deborah, you like compliments, right, like I like?
Speaker 2: I love compliments? Yeah, I do too. If their heart felt.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 6: I don't like and I don't like when somebody sugar
Speaker 6: coats meat or sugar coats something either, you know, and
Speaker 6: rather somebody just be honest.
Speaker 3: Can I ask you a question because I have I
Speaker 3: I don't know if I've complimented, but I have commented,
Speaker 3: and I mean it in a positive way. And Shannon
Speaker 3: can attest to this. If I say things like hey, hair,
Speaker 3: it means hey, I noticed that you got your hair
Speaker 3: done right. And I've said to Deborah before them some
Speaker 3: shiny pants.
Speaker 2: Hmm. Okay, that's not really a compliment, right, but I
Speaker 2: mean it means it to be a comped.
Speaker 3: I'm noticing that you're wearing a flashy piece of a
Speaker 3: tire today.
Speaker 1: Why don't we try and use some words to tell
Speaker 1: her that her shiny pants are cute?
Speaker 2: Are cute?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would not say cute because to Debra's point,
Speaker 3: she would smell that out. She would sniff that out
Speaker 3: and go, that's not a real He doesn't use that word.
Speaker 1: How about like those are fun pants? Or I don't know,
Speaker 1: those look comfortable? Now that's not right, right, that's a
Speaker 1: that's a nose comfortable.
Speaker 2: Why don't you tell her?
Speaker 1: Ask her if she's pregnant too, or say or say
Speaker 1: you look tired. That's my favorite. When someone says you
Speaker 1: look tired. It's like, uh, okay, so I look like S.
Speaker 1: Just tell me I look like S.
Speaker 2: But see, no one would say that.
Speaker 1: I've seen women, by the way, that are like eight
Speaker 1: months pregnant and said nothing because you just can't say
Speaker 1: anything about any sort of pregnancy.
Speaker 2: Right, Well, what if they do that thing where they're like.
Speaker 3: They're constantly like hands on their belly and they're like
Speaker 3: they're waiting.
Speaker 2: They're not going to say anything, rubbing their belly, waiting
Speaker 2: for you to stop doing that. Deborah, I like your pants,
Speaker 2: Thank Shannon. No, she was saying that to me. I'm
Speaker 2: trying to help me. I haven't seen your pants today.
Speaker 2: They're playing.
Speaker 3: They're just playing, let me see if I can get
Speaker 3: this clean. Deah, I like your pants.
Speaker 2: I don't know that's it's weird. I feel like that
Speaker 2: sounded weird.
Speaker 3: If I had enthusiasm and I go, hey, I like
Speaker 3: those pants.
Speaker 2: It's a little creepy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, then and then it seems like you're trying to
Speaker 1: like get rid of them or something. Hey, go on,
Speaker 1: I'm so glad I'm not a dude. That would be
Speaker 1: the worst.
Speaker 2: I think we all are.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: I think your pants are great. You know you don't.
Speaker 6: You haven't seen me in person except.
Speaker 2: Over this monetary.
Speaker 3: I'll say this, My pants look like I have never
Speaker 3: seen bad pants.
Speaker 2: That's what I was just gonna say.
Speaker 1: From your pattern of behavior with the pants you wear,
Speaker 1: he can come to the hypothesis that today he'll also
Speaker 1: like your pants.
Speaker 6: Well, what about my hot pink?
Speaker 2: I do love the color. There's a reason I didn't
Speaker 2: mention that one. Okay wanted me to be honest. Absolutely.
Speaker 6: I don't want somebody to tell look, Shanon, you're probably
Speaker 6: the same. I don't want somebody to tell me I
Speaker 6: look good if I look here.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I wantagh all the lies lie to me. Oh,
