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: But later this hour, I got a ration of crap
Speaker 2: for not having a skincare routine.
Speaker 3: And does your husband have a skincare routine?
Speaker 1: I think you guys have the same skincare roots bar
Speaker 1: soap in a shower, not even a bar of soap
Speaker 1: in his case.
Speaker 3: Oh he uses body wash.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have this, you know, my gosh, But I mean, really,
Speaker 1: he just kind of jumps in the shower.
Speaker 3: Does he wear socks?
Speaker 1: He loses one sock that he's wearing somehow all over
Speaker 1: the house.
Speaker 4: I find one sock. It drives me nuts.
Speaker 3: But he wears them.
Speaker 4: He wears them, but he ends up with just one
Speaker 4: on his feet.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll allow that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And he also makes fun of me because I wear
Speaker 1: way too much skincare goo as he calls it, and
Speaker 1: he hates when the goo gets on his hands or
Speaker 1: like if I kiss him on the cheek, he goes,
Speaker 1: oh there's goo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I mean she uses gooz but I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with it.
Speaker 4: It's a nice husband.
Speaker 2: Kids, kids are now the biggest skincare customers, and I
Speaker 2: don't what are we doing to our children?
Speaker 4: When you say kids, what do you what age.
Speaker 3: You're gonna have, You're gonna have to listen.
Speaker 4: I'm on the edge of my seats.
Speaker 2: Sports Chargers are in Denville, Denver, to take on the
Speaker 2: Broncos on Sunday. Rams have a bye this weekend. Number
Speaker 2: four Penn State comes to the Coliseum. They'll take on USC.

Speaker 4: You know it's funny. I don't even care. No, I'm
Speaker 4: just kidding.
Speaker 1: I love to go to games in person, and like
Speaker 1: you talked about, the energy will be electric tonight for
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. I love to watch the games in person,
Speaker 1: and that applies also for baseball games. I think it's
Speaker 1: just way more exciting to see than on the TV.
Speaker 3: That's a good point.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you feel it.
Speaker 3: It's time for swamp watch. Swamp is horrible, so government
Speaker 3: doesn't work.
Speaker 2: Good man, gonna make this like a reality TV show.
Speaker 3: Corn was a bad boos, always a pleasure to be
Speaker 3: anywhere from Washington, DC.
Speaker 2: Hey, Joey, a town clearly built on a swamp and
Speaker 2: in so many ways.
Speaker 3: Still a swamp. I have a bunch of malarkey. What
Speaker 3: he said drained the swamp. I said, Oh, that's so
Speaker 3: he'll keep happen.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 2: You know the thing, so former President Trump is going
Speaker 2: to be an Aurora, Colorado. Early early this morning, people
Speaker 2: were lined up for this rally. Immigration is going to
Speaker 2: be the focus. Of course, he has said that Aurora
Speaker 2: is a war zone, that it's been overrun by Venezuelan
Speaker 2: gang members. Local officials have said that's not the case. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they have a gang problem, yes some of them are Venezuelan,
Speaker 2: but that this is not as bad. It's bad, it's
Speaker 2: not as bad as he says it is. Again, that's
Speaker 2: according to the mayor of Aurora, Colorado.
Speaker 1: And it's actually created because I told you how I
Speaker 1: went on the ground there and spoke to the city
Speaker 1: and spoke to residents, and one of the things the
Speaker 1: city said is it's actually created a lot of problems
Speaker 1: for them to have these rumors swirling around that they've
Speaker 1: been overtaken by gangs, and it undermines the efforts they've
Speaker 1: to keep people safe. You know, they started a task
Speaker 1: for us with the police department. They've really done a lot,
Speaker 1: and they've arrested the Venezuelan gang members that they've identified
Speaker 1: thus far, almost all of them. They've identified ten.
Speaker 2: The mayor of Aurora a guy named Mike Kaufman, who
Speaker 2: is a Republican. He initially repeated the claims that gangs
Speaker 2: were taking over buildings and entire apartment complexes.
Speaker 3: He reversed course.
Speaker 2: He actually said the concerns have been grossly exaggerated. He
Speaker 2: welcomed the former president to tour the city if he
Speaker 2: wants to.
Speaker 3: But there are other people in that town of Aurora.
Speaker 2: They say they're worried about Trump supporters showing up to
Speaker 2: the apartment complexes and threatening them. Says we've seen people
Speaker 2: drive up in cars, wave guns in the air and
Speaker 2: saying things like they want to kill all the Venezuelans.
Speaker 2: Two of the apartment buildings that are at the center
Speaker 2: of this controversy, there are broken windows, there's a bunch
Speaker 2: of litter. One building had portable police camera stations that
Speaker 2: residents said had been installed just this week. One three
Speaker 2: year old guy works as a landscaper lives in one
Speaker 2: of those buildings, said that all Venezuelans are being blamed
Speaker 2: for the actions of just a few, whether or not
Speaker 2: they belonged to that Tres Traces.
Speaker 1: Is it the gang? Yeah, that araguas a part of Venezuela,
Speaker 1: and Train is train. But you know, so one of
Speaker 1: the buildings I went to, and I went to two
Speaker 1: of them, one had been fenced off, boarded up, and
Speaker 1: everyone was now out of that one building. That was
Speaker 1: where the resident told me he had had homicides, and
Speaker 1: you know, like two people were murdered right outside his house,
Speaker 1: and crazy guy was tased in his front lawn and
Speaker 1: all these things. The other building I went to was
Speaker 1: almost uninhabitable. It was crazy to me that people still
Speaker 1: lived in there because, as you just mentioned, windows were shattered.
Speaker 1: I read a little bit about the history these buildings
Speaker 1: that all of them just like slum lords, where they
Speaker 1: had had a very long history of massive problems rodent infestations,
Speaker 1: sewage spills, just.
Speaker 4: Uninhabitable living conditions.
Speaker 1: And so now on top of that they have all
Speaker 1: these other all this political firestorm around them, and it
Speaker 1: must be very difficult if you're just a resident trying
Speaker 1: to live your life there.
Speaker 2: Former President Trump, no loss for words when it comes
Speaker 2: to ways to make people angry. Laid out his vision
Speaker 2: for the auto industry at the Detroit Economic Club, but
Speaker 2: then said that the United States will become Detroit.
Speaker 3: If Kamala Harris is a lest.
Speaker 5: I don't think anything that we're talking about today is
Speaker 5: high on her list. The whole country is going to
Speaker 5: be like you want to know the truth, It'll be
Speaker 5: like Detroit. Our whole country will end up being like Detroit.
Speaker 5: If she's your president, you're gonna have a mess in
Speaker 5: your hands. She destroyed San Francisco, she destroyed, along with Newscomb, California, and.
Speaker 3: We're not going to let her do that to this country.
Speaker 3: We're not going to let it happen. I can turn
Speaker 3: it into the beautiful city that I'm standing in.
Speaker 1: I would be so sad if I were a resident
Speaker 1: of Detroit.
Speaker 3: Oh, you wouldn't.
Speaker 4: No, that would be horrible.
Speaker 1: You know what, if you're in there, you're in the audience,
Speaker 1: you look up to the former president, You're so happy
Speaker 1: he's in your city, and then.
Speaker 2: He just turns around and takes a crap on yourself's
Speaker 2: on it. Yeah, we're talking about former President Trump. His
Speaker 2: speech in Aurora. The rally itself is expected to begin
Speaker 2: pretty close to the top of the hour. Former President
Speaker 2: Obama was in Pennsylvania. Hasn't been as active on the
Speaker 2: campaign trail as we may have expected him to at
Speaker 2: some point, but he said, among other things, that.
Speaker 3: The wherell where to go? Let me find this one.
Speaker 1: Do you think he hasn't been as active? I feel
Speaker 1: like I've seen a lot of headlines around him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't seen very many.
Speaker 6: Donald Trump is a seventy eight year old billionaire who
Speaker 6: has not stopped whining about his problems since he wrote.
Speaker 3: Down his Golden Escalator nine years ago.
Speaker 2: But the headlines this time are around what he said
Speaker 2: in what he said to some voters.
Speaker 6: Trump is a seventy eight year old billionaire.
Speaker 3: How about this one. This is what he was talking
Speaker 3: to a group of voters.
Speaker 6: When you had a choice, that is this clean? And
Speaker 6: on one hand, you have somebody who grew up like you,
Speaker 6: knows you went to college. Would you understands the struggles
Speaker 6: and pain and joy that comes from those experiences.
Speaker 3: He work harder and do more and overcome.
Speaker 6: And achieves the second highest office. Anoying.
Speaker 2: This is his version of what Joe Biden told Charlemagne
Speaker 2: the God four years ago when he said, if you
Speaker 2: vote for Trump, you ain't black.
Speaker 3: This is his version of it. Why is that? Okay?
Speaker 1: Well, I might have a different take on this. I
Speaker 1: also just want to acknowledge, my goodness, those pregnant pauses
Speaker 1: and President obampas.
Speaker 4: Addressed to those people. I was just hanging on the
Speaker 4: edge of my seat.
Speaker 1: So he raises a fair point in a sense, because
Speaker 1: he goes on to say it seems people are coming up,
Speaker 1: some men in particular, coming up with excuses, and he said,
Speaker 1: part of it makes him think they're not feeling the
Speaker 1: idea of having a woman as president. And I know
Speaker 1: this is an uncomfortable conversation to have. And many may say, whatever,
Speaker 1: We're ready for a woman president if it's the right person.
Speaker 1: But in some cases, the numbers, the polling, the questions
Speaker 1: that have been asked indicate otherwise. And I actually saw
Speaker 1: this report recently where a reporter was sitting down with
Speaker 1: a number of different kids from all backgrounds, and many
Speaker 1: of them said they did not want Kamala Harris as
Speaker 1: president because they don't want a woman president. And you know,
Speaker 1: kids are the ultimate honesty barometer, right, And so it
Speaker 1: makes me think that maybe this is more entrenched just.
Speaker 4: Into our DNA than we think.
Speaker 1: And when it's the first time for something, there will
Speaker 1: be some resistance just because people resist change, whether or not,
Speaker 1: you know. So it's a question that should be asked,
Speaker 1: is all I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, he describes her as being similar to
Speaker 2: the guys that he's talking to in the in Pennsylvania,
Speaker 2: and you know that she grew up like they did,
Speaker 2: that she went to school with them, et cetera. I mean,
Speaker 2: she was at Varnier College in Montreal, she went to
Speaker 2: Howard University. These are not necessarily the same path. She
Speaker 2: was not on the same path necessarily that he's selling
Speaker 2: to these guys and I and it's it's.
Speaker 3: It's just a it's a weird thing.
Speaker 4: I hate the idea of painting politics, of course.
Speaker 2: But my point is if if he would be upset
Speaker 2: for Donald Trump painting a certain population with a broad
Speaker 2: brush or making us having an expectation about a certain
Speaker 2: population based on some immutable characteristic, then then why is
Speaker 2: it okay for him to do it? And that's the
Speaker 2: frustrating part about it. I'm not naive about it. I
Speaker 2: understand why he's doing and I understand the context in
Speaker 2: which he's saying it. But it echoed to me what
Speaker 2: Joe Biden was saying. Granted it comes from a different
Speaker 2: delivery source. I mean, Joe Biden and you and I.
Speaker 2: You know Whitey mcmahonay's kind of thing, but it's it
Speaker 2: does it had that same feel to it, and it's unfortunate.
Speaker 2: Just allow people to vote the way they want to vote,
Speaker 2: you know, it's not you can convince them. You can
Speaker 2: guilt them, you can tell them, you know, vote for
Speaker 2: stronger culture or over pology, whatever however you.
Speaker 3: Want to do it.
Speaker 2: But don't just assume that you're gonna you are instructed
Speaker 2: to vote some way because of whatever characteristics you have.
Speaker 1: If you were Obama, how would you have encouraged people
Speaker 1: to vote for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2: I would have said she's a better candidate, and then
Speaker 2: I would have given her a list. I would have
Speaker 2: given a list of arguments to prove my point. I mean,
Speaker 2: that's that's what that's how it should happen. Not you.
Speaker 2: You're not an authentic insert name of characteristic here unless
Speaker 2: you vote for insert name of candidate.
Speaker 4: That is a fair point. You have a good point.
Speaker 3: Fair point, ye point.
Speaker 4: On my head, don't always agree with you, but on
Speaker 4: that one.
Speaker 2: Donald Trump is spending time in Colorado, away from the
Speaker 2: battleground states. He's there in Aurora, Colorado, with a rally
Speaker 2: that's supposed to start here in just a few minutes.
Speaker 2: A solid majority of Hispanic women say they have a
Speaker 2: positive opinion a vice president Harris in a negative view
Speaker 2: of former president and Trump, but Hispanic men apparently divided
Speaker 2: on both candidates. Hispanic men also more likely than Hispanic
Speaker 2: women to say that Trump represents their views on some
Speaker 2: key issues. We've talked before about the difference when it
Speaker 2: comes to gender difference and voting, so that's highlighted in
Speaker 2: specific demographic groups.
Speaker 7: Also, I personally don't believe that President Obama was saying
Speaker 7: anything about a race or anything. He was just saying, you,
Speaker 7: as in the general public, she is like us, She
Speaker 7: is like you. I think that's all he was saying.
Speaker 7: And you're turning this into some racial thing, which is weird.
Speaker 4: I hope can we mentioned anything about race gender?
Speaker 2: I will say this. He used the term brought the brothers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he said.
Speaker 2: I also want to say that that seems to be
Speaker 2: more pronounced with the brothers, right, what does that mean?
Speaker 1: He did specifically talk about black men. That is not
Speaker 1: a for dispute. And then he also said explicitly quote
Speaker 1: part of it makes me think that, well, you just
Speaker 1: aren't feeling the idea of having a woman as president,
Speaker 1: and you're coming up with other alternatives and reasons for that,
Speaker 1: and like you said, addressed the brothers. So I mean,
Speaker 1: he did talk about gender, and he did incorporate race,
Speaker 1: but he did. He didn't incorporate her race as a reason.
Speaker 3: No, he was talking specifically about them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I don't know.
Speaker 2: I didn't inject it in there. That's those were his words,
Speaker 2: not mine. I mean mine because I said, well, do
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 8: What I mean?
Speaker 9: Hey Gary and not Shannon. Hi, Christina, you're knocking it
Speaker 9: out of the park girl anyway, just calling in to
Speaker 9: say happy early anniversary to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 9: Hope we're going to celebrate on Monday, since you now,
Speaker 9: Shannon felt it more important to be with her friends.
Speaker 4: Apparently she doesn't love us.
Speaker 9: Anyway.
Speaker 4: Have a great weekend, you guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, tomorrow is the ninth anniversary of the show.
Speaker 4: Happy anniversary? Did you did? I know?
Speaker 3: Did you get me something?
Speaker 4: You know what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go down the hallway to that disgusting snack drawer.
Speaker 1: You guys have disgusting What are you talking about? I'm
Speaker 1: just kidding. I mean, unless you're into ramen, maybe you
Speaker 1: like it.
Speaker 2: If you like high sodium counts in your way to
Speaker 2: go a good morning, you too, Happy Friday.
Speaker 8: I just want to say, it's like a breath of
Speaker 8: fresh air. Having Christina on the show. Someone who is
Speaker 8: a real journalist and isn't so one sided I'm biased
Speaker 8: in her uh what what she has to say? Even
Speaker 8: if she is registered whatever she is, she still see
Speaker 8: both sides of the story.
Speaker 3: And I love that.
Speaker 8: I appreciate it. It's what we need more of in
Speaker 8: our country. It's part of the problem the people that
Speaker 8: aren't that way. So thank you, Christina. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 3: He said, are registered whatever she is?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, Well I really don't subscribe to either party.
Speaker 1: I think they've both left their people. It's about you know.
Speaker 1: But anyway, first, thank you to him. And secondly, was
Speaker 1: that kind of a backhanded compliment. Well, you know, it
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, okay, I take it. You do really
Speaker 1: well with that, you know.
Speaker 3: I don't. I just hide it. I just hide it.
Speaker 2: Well, there may be a psychological reason I'm fascinated by
Speaker 2: stories like this, psychological reason why some people aren't just
Speaker 2: wrong in an argument. They're confidently wrong. I mean, they're
Speaker 2: confident about how correct they are, but they're completely wrong.
Speaker 2: According to a study published this week in the journal
Speaker 2: Plos One, it comes down to believing you have all
Speaker 2: the information you need to form an opinion even when
Speaker 2: you don't. And I think this boils down to the
Speaker 2: old adage of you don't know what you don't know, right.
Speaker 1: And that's one quality I think people lack curiosity and
Speaker 1: they think, oh, I have sufficient information. They look at
Speaker 1: the headline, they make a flash judgment, and voila. They
Speaker 1: think they know everything. But it was interesting in this
Speaker 1: because what they did in this study, so five hundred
Speaker 1: people read a version of the story that was in
Speaker 1: favor of this particular issue and then had one neutral point,
Speaker 1: and then another five hundred people read a story about
Speaker 1: the same issue that was against it and had the
Speaker 1: same one neutral point, And ultimately the results showed that
Speaker 1: the majority of people were likely to agree with the
Speaker 1: argument in favor or against, depending on which they read. Which,
Speaker 1: you know, it's no surprise when you think of these
Speaker 1: echo chambers were living in how people watch Fox if
Speaker 1: they're more right, CNN if they're more left, and then
Speaker 1: they kind of just regurgitate what they see.
Speaker 2: If you if you have a friend who is completely
Speaker 2: opposite you politically and you're both active on social media,
Speaker 2: take a moment and scroll through their feed and see
Speaker 2: what they see compared to what you see, and it's
Speaker 2: very it is should be very eye opening because the
Speaker 2: echo chamber thing, when you're in it, you don't know
Speaker 2: you're in it. And social media, and I mean everything
Speaker 2: from YouTube to Twitter to Facebook, they all work that way.
Speaker 3: You don't know where the walls are in your room.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you So that means you assume, well, everybody
Speaker 2: thinks the way I do, everybody feels the way I do,
Speaker 2: because everybody on Twitter believes me, or everybody on Twitter
Speaker 2: agrees with me.
Speaker 3: That that's so not the case.
Speaker 1: That means you are failing at life if you don't
Speaker 1: see anything in your feed that you disagree with.
Speaker 4: Honestly, I mean.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know life feeling failing at the social
Speaker 1: media life.
Speaker 2: Because then you go you go out in the real
Speaker 2: world and you're you're amazed that someone is what pro Palestinian,
Speaker 2: or you're amazed that someone wants to vote for the
Speaker 2: other candidate.
Speaker 3: I can't believe it.
Speaker 2: In my town, you're so strange, you don't fit here.
Speaker 2: We're so I mean, there's nothing. There is something to
Speaker 2: be said that we're so divided. That's not the right word.
Speaker 2: We're evenly divided. There's so much of any issue we
Speaker 2: can be very evenly divided on but we assume that
Speaker 2: the numbers are always in our favor. And that I
Speaker 2: mean that I said the term before. I don't think
Speaker 2: I'm the one who came up with it, but the
Speaker 2: audacity of confidence you you don't even know what the
Speaker 2: other side looks like.
Speaker 4: Mm hmm. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's interesting because as our population grows, even if you're
Speaker 1: one percent of the population, there's millions, you know, like,
Speaker 1: there's there's an insane number of people who will agree
Speaker 1: with you on.
Speaker 4: That crazy issue.
Speaker 1: So actually I did a story on QAnon, for example,
Speaker 1: that far right wing conspiracy theory that we can go
Speaker 1: down a rabbit hole with that. But because those people
Speaker 1: are looking at those things online, the algorithm serves them
Speaker 1: more of it, so then it's all they're surrounded by
Speaker 1: and they're fed more and more and it kind of
Speaker 1: reinforces their own beliefs. That's happening to all of us
Speaker 1: on different levels. There's this poet that said something that
Speaker 1: I always think is so interesting that he says something
Speaker 1: like I don't know who discovered or I don't know
Speaker 1: how discovered water, but it wasn't a fish, meaning you
Speaker 1: don't recognize the environment in which you exist, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: to your.
Speaker 3: Point, right now, you don't know where the walls are.
Speaker 4: I totally butchered that poet's work, and I apologize.
Speaker 2: At least you didn't claim credit for it. That would
Speaker 2: have been even worse.
Speaker 1: So we've been talking, and I have a six month
Speaker 1: old daughter named Alice Sandra, who is you know, a
Speaker 1: twinkle in my eye or however.
Speaker 4: That saying goes.
Speaker 1: And I think at two months old, she may have
Speaker 1: said her first word. And so we have the audio.
Speaker 1: Gary laughed in my face when I told him, I think,
Speaker 1: hold on, I wasn't in your face.
Speaker 4: Oh he wasn't in my face. He was about three
Speaker 4: feet away, but he did laugh.
Speaker 1: And we would love to hear your opinion too when
Speaker 1: you hear this, If you do, in fact think it
Speaker 1: was her first word, are you going to play it now?
Speaker 3: Well, let me plage just I think I'm going to
Speaker 3: play just her part of it first.
Speaker 4: Hey, well no, no, oh, you gotta play the whole all.
Speaker 3: Right, here's here's the whole thing. It's nine seconds long.
Speaker 1: Oh oh my gosh, you really just come on?
Speaker 4: And then she goes playing get high. Yep, you don't
Speaker 4: think so well, I'm not saying it, she's not. Are
Speaker 4: you trying to shatter my dreams here? No, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 4: My feelings won't be hurt either way.
Speaker 2: But no, no, Yes, I saw your face when I
Speaker 2: laughed at you this morning.
Speaker 4: I deflated like you just you know, ripped my heart out.
Speaker 3: I had kicked you in the shins.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, well you kind of did, so Colin,
Speaker 1: let us know what you think. How can people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's two months old when she did that. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: so it's not just her exhaling.
Speaker 1: I mean it doesn't know and it doesn't necessarily she
Speaker 1: understood the meaning. But I think that you know, she
Speaker 1: was mimicking at minimum what she heard clearly. Of course,
Speaker 1: your face right now is disastrous. Okay, you guys, you
Speaker 1: guys be the judges.
Speaker 4: Call us. Yeah, how did people? Let us know?
Speaker 3: You can let us know on the talkback feature on
Speaker 3: the iHeart app.
Speaker 2: Just the hit that little button, the little microphone button,
Speaker 2: and it'll it'll send us a message. Earlier this week,
Speaker 2: I got in trouble. I remember how we even got
Speaker 2: onto the subject about showers and cleansing and et cetera.
Speaker 4: Well, last week I was sorry. Last week.
Speaker 1: I was listening to you and Shannon and you were
Speaker 1: talking about the number of toilet paper rolls you used, So, okay,
Speaker 1: I stand corrected.
Speaker 4: So maybe it was, you know, the sequel to that.
Speaker 2: Well, it was about whether or not I have any
Speaker 2: sort of skincare regimen, because dudes, uh, there's a new
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say now, there's a growing market for men's
Speaker 2: skincare products.
Speaker 3: It's not.
Speaker 2: It's not just the old can of barbisol shaving cream anymore.
Speaker 2: Now it's you know, all kinds of different flavors and scents,
Speaker 2: and there's I mean, for every Yankee candle shop flavor scent,
Speaker 2: there's a new shaving cream, Bourbon, vanilla, something something for
Speaker 2: whatever for face. And then after it used to be
Speaker 2: whatever after shave you had is now a new I
Speaker 2: don't know, there's new flavor. Well, I keep saying flavors,
Speaker 2: new scents and yeah, textures whatever.
Speaker 1: Well you saying flavors is probably why that's gonna all fail,
Speaker 1: because gods don't know.
Speaker 2: What they're not how to say that, but that there
Speaker 2: is a market out there for dudes and just regular
Speaker 2: skincare cream skin cream apparently. So, But this story is
Speaker 2: about kids who are now getting into the skincare regimen.
Speaker 2: Naya White has it twice a day beauty regimen. I'm
Speaker 2: sorry she has.
Speaker 4: What grade is she in?
Speaker 3: She's in? Was that fourth grade?
Speaker 4: Fourth grade?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So she talks about her shopping trips to Sephora and
Speaker 2: things like that, and what a fourth grader should be
Speaker 2: doing to maintain their incredible, soft, supple skin.
Speaker 4: I see it in the history books now when Rome fell.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, yeah, the day China finally decided to invade.
Speaker 2: We're just going to roll over like big fat, lazy
Speaker 2: blobs of nothingness because we have completely lost any edge.
Speaker 2: If you, if you're teaching your kid at the age
Speaker 2: of ten, that this is the way they need to
Speaker 2: spend their days. That's an unfortunate child. That life going
Speaker 2: forward is going to get worse.
Speaker 1: Are we sounding like those old people who say, well,
Speaker 1: when I was a.
Speaker 3: Kid, maybe, But I'm okay.
Speaker 4: There's truth to it in this. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean there's so many other things I would hope
Speaker 1: a ten year old could be exposed to, like I
Speaker 1: don't know, different cultures or howether, I don't know, taking
Speaker 1: a field trip somewhere outside of nature, well anything, but this.
Speaker 3: This goes beyond.
Speaker 2: You know, when I was a when I was when
Speaker 2: I was a boy, like I'm an armadillo now. When
Speaker 2: I was a boy, I had one of those fake
Speaker 2: shaving kits. It was a little plastic shaving kit, and
Speaker 2: it was it came with a silly little shaving cream,
Speaker 2: the old kind of shaving cream where you have to
Speaker 2: mix it with a little brush and then apply it. Oh,
Speaker 2: and it was a plastic razor, so it didn't and
Speaker 2: it was made with a toy and there's no sharp
Speaker 2: edge on it at all.
Speaker 3: But you would still put that little stuff on your face.
Speaker 2: And that's very different because I'm not actually doing anything
Speaker 2: that's going to hurt me or set me up for
Speaker 2: failure because I'm probably going to shave later in life anyway.
Speaker 2: Granted I don't shave all the time because I don't
Speaker 2: grow hair like an ape.
Speaker 4: No, Okay, you're too much.
Speaker 3: Well I'm just saying too much.
Speaker 2: But in this case, they're hooking these kids on these
Speaker 2: products now so that they will buy them continuously for
Speaker 2: the remainder of their life. Marketing wise, it's genius.
Speaker 1: Right, and this intertwines with so many other things. When
Speaker 1: you think of I think we talked about it a
Speaker 1: little bit yesterday, but our crappy food system and how
Speaker 1: they make these things. A lot of people don't realize
Speaker 1: that our food system. Back in the nineties, when the
Speaker 1: cigarettes were starting to go downhill, people realized, oh, this
Speaker 1: is actually really bad for your health. Apparently those same scientists,
Speaker 1: all the cigarette companies bought the major food companies, and
Speaker 1: those same scientists were tasked figuring out how to make
Speaker 1: our food as addictive as possible.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and cheap as possible.
Speaker 1: So you have kids now, half of whom have chronic
Speaker 1: health conditions in America, which is an insane number. Please
Speaker 1: look it up in fact check me, but it is true,
Speaker 1: and they're addicted to these foods from the time they're young,
Speaker 1: and then they get hooked on pharmaceuticals to treat the
Speaker 1: disease caused by the food, and then they have lifelong customers,
Speaker 1: just like what you're talking about here.
Speaker 2: It's frustrating because people think it's generally they wave things
Speaker 2: off like this. They look at these trends and they go, no,
Speaker 2: they're just kids being doing kid stuff, without the realization of, yeah,
Speaker 2: but you're allowing your kid to be trained to forever
Speaker 2: use a product that they probably don't when they're ten.
Speaker 2: They don't need that when you're forty and you're trying
Speaker 2: to cling on to whatever you looked like when you
Speaker 2: were eighteen. Yeah, I understand. I understand why you want
Speaker 2: your retinol on your higher luronic acid.
Speaker 3: I get it. But this is not the time to
Speaker 3: do that. This is not the time to hook the
Speaker 3: kids on them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just enjoy life and I don't know, it's placing
Speaker 1: them priorities on the wrong things.
Speaker 4: That makes everything better.
