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: Oh no, it did it? Really? The bird flew away?
Speaker 2: Huh So?
Speaker 3: About twenty minutes ago one of the eglets perched on
Speaker 3: a branch and took off. I think I know where
Speaker 3: Shannon is. I think she was below that tree begging
Speaker 3: that bird to fly. They haven't said which of these
Speaker 3: it was, Sonny or Gizmo. CBS News wrote What's next
Speaker 3: for the Eglitz. Gizmo and Sonny were both determined to
Speaker 3: be female. Hold on a second. Gizmo and Sonny were
Speaker 3: both determined to be female, and Sonny's sex is still unknown,
Speaker 3: but both will remain in the habitat for one to
Speaker 3: three months after ledging. Friends of Big Bear Valleys say
Speaker 3: they will likely be in and out of the nest
Speaker 3: during this time they will take off. Since they aren't banded,
Speaker 3: we will have no way to know if they stay
Speaker 3: together or for how long.
Speaker 2: It's listen.
Speaker 3: I have been just as infatuated with these eagles as
Speaker 3: everybody else has, but these comments crack me up. It's
Speaker 3: not known if they will recognize each other, and the
Speaker 3: organization notes that there is some evidence that bald eagles
Speaker 3: can memorize, but they have not been there have not
Speaker 3: been any specific studies to verify that information.
Speaker 2: Eagles will reach maturity about five years old.
Speaker 3: That's when they get the white head and tail and
Speaker 3: bright yellow beaks and eyes. But again, the breaking developing
Speaker 3: story out of Big Bear is that one of the
Speaker 3: eagles has literally flown the nest and we'll see, will
Speaker 3: see if they ever make it back. NBA Finals begin
Speaker 3: Thursday night, Pacers against Oklahoma City Thunder. NHL Stanley Cup
Speaker 3: Finals begin on Wednesday night. That'll be the Florida Panthers
Speaker 3: against the Edmonton Oilers. The Angels lost to the Guardians
Speaker 3: last night, four to two. They will move on to
Speaker 3: Boston tonight to take on the Red Sox. Yankees beat
Speaker 3: the Dodgers seven to three yesterday, but the Mets are
Speaker 3: in town tonight.
Speaker 2: It's time for swamp watch. I'm a politician, which means
Speaker 2: I'm a cheat and a liar. And when I'm not
Speaker 2: kissing babies, I'm stealing that lollipops.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got the real problem is that our leaders
Speaker 4: are done.
Speaker 3: The other side never quits so what, I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 1: So now you train the swat, I can imagine what
Speaker 1: can be and be unburdened by.
Speaker 2: What has been. You know, Americans have always been gone
Speaker 2: at President.
Speaker 4: They're not scrupid.
Speaker 3: A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 2: Have the people voted for you with not swamp watch,
Speaker 2: they're all caunonnoyed.
Speaker 3: Late in the segment, we'll get you more about what's
Speaker 3: going on with the terrorist attack in Boulder, Colorado against
Speaker 3: those pro Israeli hostage demonstrators that were out there trying
Speaker 3: to bring attention to the hostages that are still being
Speaker 3: held by Hamas. Because President Trump did make a comment
Speaker 3: on truth Social about that, So we'll talk about that.
Speaker 3: Because we're creating some more information, I wanted to just
Speaker 3: backtrack just a quick moment and talk about what we
Speaker 3: have seen the latest.
Speaker 2: When it comes to teriff wars.
Speaker 3: Wall Street has been negative, at least the DAL has
Speaker 3: been negative all morning.
Speaker 2: Right now, it's down one hundred and seventy six points.
Speaker 3: There is some concern that the trade tensions between the
Speaker 3: United States and China are going to ratchet up, and
Speaker 3: part of that is because of what we have seen
Speaker 3: in what is considered to be a violation of the truce.
Speaker 3: China's Ministry of Commerce said that Washington seriously undermined the
Speaker 3: agreement reached during talks in Geneva last month. Both countries
Speaker 3: actually lowered tariffs on goods imported from each other, but
Speaker 3: again the Chinese spokesperson said that the US actions violated
Speaker 3: the consensus reached during a phone call between She Jinping
Speaker 3: and President Trump. The comments come after Trump said that
Speaker 3: China had totally violated its agreement with US. Okay, this
Speaker 3: could be potentially all worked out in a mysterious phone
Speaker 3: call that is said to be coming soon. Still up
Speaker 3: in the air today in terms of official high level
Speaker 3: talks between China and the United States, and there are
Speaker 3: now mixed signals. Part of it is because we say
Speaker 3: they violated that the tariff agreement, they say we violated
Speaker 3: the tariff agreement. There is potentially, according to CNBC, a
Speaker 3: phone call between President Trump and President she very possible.
Speaker 3: This would be the first call since Trump took office. Again,
Speaker 3: remember I said there was a call in January that
Speaker 3: was before he was inaugurated for the second term. So
Speaker 3: this would be the one that This would be the
Speaker 3: first phone call between the two, some of them since
Speaker 3: he became president again. Again, China is lashing out, saying
Speaker 3: that we were the ones that violated the deal. They
Speaker 3: have dimmed the prospects of an immediate leadership call is
Speaker 3: where they say it. There has also been a crackdown
Speaker 3: on rare earth exports a couple of months ago, starting
Speaker 3: to bite for US automakers in particular, we might have
Speaker 3: to wea the United States might have to start limiting
Speaker 3: auto production in just a matter of days. One of
Speaker 3: the issues specifically is rare earth magnets, and with China
Speaker 3: still enforcing their limits on rare earth magnet exports to
Speaker 3: the United States, this could be one very specific but
Speaker 3: very damaging part in the entire supply chain when it
Speaker 3: comes to Chinese goods that are coming into the United
Speaker 3: States and making cars and why that would be such
Speaker 3: a stumbling block. Also in all of that, the price
Speaker 3: of steel and aluminum spike today. Shares of foreign steelmakers
Speaker 3: actually slumped after President Trump said he would double tariffs
Speaker 3: on imports of aluminum and steal up to fifty percent.
Speaker 3: Here we are in June, and this is going to
Speaker 3: be a very important month for the Senate and for
Speaker 3: the Supreme Court when it comes to Washington, DC. So
Speaker 3: one of the things that just happened was Justice Brett
Speaker 3: Kavanaugh signaled that the Court could soon decide the constitutional
Speaker 3: constitutionality of banning AR fifteen's three justices did vote yes
Speaker 3: to take up a specific case like this, you need
Speaker 3: four actually to take up the case. Kavanaugh was not
Speaker 3: one of those yes votes, but said that he probably
Speaker 3: would be soon and that we should presumably address the
Speaker 3: AR fifteen in the next term or two. The other things,
Speaker 3: of course, are still going on. There are more opinion
Speaker 3: cases that deal with birthright citizenship, that deal with age
Speaker 3: verification for porn sites, transition care for kids who claim
Speaker 3: to be transgender. All of that stuff is still yet
Speaker 3: to come down for the Supreme Court this month. The
Speaker 3: Senate is back in Washington today, and one of the
Speaker 3: things that they're doing is talking about that big, beautiful bill,
Speaker 3: how they are going to try to have this balance
Speaker 3: that would appease each of the Republican factions within the
Speaker 3: House and then each of the Republican factions within the Senate.
Speaker 3: They want to have something done before a July fourth break.
Speaker 3: Mike Johnson Speaker of the House had said that he
Speaker 3: expects that timeline to be in play.
Speaker 2: We'll see how it goes.
Speaker 3: Okay, So I mentioned that President Trump did make a
Speaker 3: comment about the attack in Boulder, Colorado. We'll get into
Speaker 3: that and the latest when it comes to the court
Speaker 3: documents that are filed for the suspect in that case,
Speaker 3: who will be in court in about an hour or so.
Speaker 2: That's up next.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: The big story now nationally has been this terrorist attack
Speaker 3: that took place in Boulder, Colorado, where about a forty
Speaker 3: five year old man attacked a group of demonstrators that
Speaker 3: were calling for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza. Now,
Speaker 3: the President wrote today on truth Social quote, yesterday's horific
Speaker 3: attack and Bulder, Colorado will not be tolerated in the
Speaker 3: United States of America. He came in through he came
Speaker 3: in through Biden's ridiculous open door. Sorry, he came in
Speaker 3: through Biden's ridiculous open border policy, which has hurt our
Speaker 3: country so badly.
Speaker 2: He must go out.
Speaker 3: Under Trump policy, acts of terrorism will be prosecuted to
Speaker 3: the fullest extent of the law. This is yet another
Speaker 3: example of why we must keep our border secure and
Speaker 3: deport illegal anti American radicals from our homeland. My heart
Speaker 3: goes out to the victims of this terrible tragedy and
Speaker 3: the great people of Boulder, Colorado. The understanding is that
Speaker 3: the suspect in this case is due in court next hour.
Speaker 3: According to documents that were just filed for the federal
Speaker 3: criminal case against him, this guy had at least fourteen
Speaker 3: unused molotov cocktails with them at the time that he
Speaker 3: was arrested, apparently in his vehicle, and if you've seen
Speaker 3: the video, he's holding a couple of them in his hands.
Speaker 3: The video was taken after the official or I guess
Speaker 3: after the initial is the word I'm looking for, after
Speaker 3: the initial attack when he used what they said was
Speaker 3: a impromptu or a sort of a homemade flamethrower of
Speaker 3: some kind, and then these incendiary devices, these molotov cocktails.
Speaker 3: This again the documents that were filed for the criminal
Speaker 3: court case details. Police did have some more details. Police
Speaker 3: also reported that he actually threw two molotov cocktails at
Speaker 3: people who were at the gathering that he was yelling
Speaker 3: free Palestine as he did so, causing burn injuries to
Speaker 3: eight different people. The government says, in addition to those
Speaker 3: fourteen unlit molotov cocktails, they found a backpack weed.
Speaker 2: Sprayer for some reason, and.
Speaker 3: That there I guess it had a gasoline in it.
Speaker 3: In his car, the court documents said that police found
Speaker 3: red material consistent with the rags that were hanging out
Speaker 3: of the remaining in Cyndi or device. It just looked
Speaker 3: like shop rags to me, but it may have been
Speaker 3: something more specific than that. There was a red gas
Speaker 3: canister in the car and paperwork with the words Israel,
Speaker 3: Palestine and US aid I talked earlier about the coloradois
Speaker 3: Attorney General Phil Wiser saying that this is proof that
Speaker 3: we all have to be on high alert.
Speaker 5: Now. Eight against any of us must be treated against
Speaker 5: eight against all of us. That's a moral stand that's
Speaker 5: imperative for us to tape. That's what America needs to
Speaker 5: stand for in this moment. We need to make sure
Speaker 5: that we keep people safe, that we make clear there's
Speaker 5: no place for hate, and that in America people can
Speaker 5: peacefully demonstrate whatever they believe.
Speaker 3: Now, the FBI special Agent in charge had said that
Speaker 3: they don't believe that there were other suspects. He and
Speaker 3: the chief of the Boulder Police Department talked about it.
Speaker 5: Now the subject is in custody, but this will be
Speaker 5: a thorough, complete investigation.
Speaker 1: From everything we.
Speaker 5: Know in the witness briefings, in interviews that we've done
Speaker 5: at this point, we do not believe that there is
Speaker 5: an additional suspect at large.
Speaker 3: Okay, there are details also in this court document again
Speaker 3: the guys expected in court next hour. It says that
Speaker 3: this guy was planning this attack for a year. The
Speaker 3: group again that was protesting, that was demonstrating is probably
Speaker 3: the better word, has been a regular fixture at this
Speaker 3: plaza in Boulder, Colorado since the October seventh attacks in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, that on a regular basis, most weekly,
Speaker 3: basically weather permitting that they're out there all the time.
Speaker 3: But according to the court documents, the suspect was waiting
Speaker 3: until after his daughter graduated, and that this guy arrived
Speaker 3: at the scene of the crime just before one o'clock
Speaker 3: Bolder time and waited for the group there. After his arrest,
Speaker 3: the suspect told law enforcement that Zionists were his target
Speaker 3: and that he would conduct the attack again.
Speaker 2: So the suspect.
Speaker 3: According to couple of different reports, the White House has
Speaker 3: backed this up. Department of Homeland Security has as well.
Speaker 3: He was trying to get a guess asylum way back
Speaker 3: in two thousand and five or six, and he was
Speaker 3: denied at the time. He came in on a travel
Speaker 3: visa that expired. The administration at the time a couple
Speaker 3: of years ago, in twenty twenty three, gave him a
Speaker 3: work visa, but that the work visa expired in March
Speaker 3: of this year, so he was existing in the country illegally.
Speaker 2: So up next there.
Speaker 3: Last week we talked about PTSD treatments and using psychedelics
Speaker 3: and the potential for microdosing of psychedelics to help in
Speaker 3: that case, specifically veterans get through PTSD. There's another PTSD
Speaker 3: therapy they're saying that seems too good to be true,
Speaker 3: but apparently has been working. It's called RTM. I'll explain
Speaker 3: what that is and why it has been working in
Speaker 3: some cases when we come back.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: Last week, we talked about the potential use of hallucinogens
Speaker 3: and psycho therapeutic drug in order to treat people's post
Speaker 3: traumatic stress disorder. And it's a particularly meaningful story because
Speaker 3: of the number of suicides of American veterans every day.
Speaker 3: I think the number is twenty two each day, and
Speaker 3: that that specific population veterans are so much more at
Speaker 3: risk for suicide than any other portion of the population.
Speaker 3: Jeff Turner is a guy who served in Iraq, and
Speaker 3: in April of two thousand and four, his mess hall
Speaker 3: and some areas around his base were hit with mortars,
Speaker 3: and the mess hall was what got hit first. The
Speaker 3: second bomb hit in a sand nearby, and he was
Speaker 3: covered in smoke. He dove between a couple of park
Speaker 3: mail vans and he began to register the screams from
Speaker 3: the mess hall, and a soldier who had been chasing
Speaker 3: him down found him soaked in blood and said, you
Speaker 3: got a problem, sir. The mortar had ripped through the
Speaker 3: canvas or roof killed several of his fellow service members,
Speaker 3: shrapnel in every direction. He was able to walk away
Speaker 3: from the attack. He did still have some wounds deep
Speaker 3: into his leg and on his arms, but the next
Speaker 3: day he was back at work and he said he
Speaker 3: found immediately things were not right. His heart was pounding,
Speaker 3: even though he was doing relatively mundane tasks. Loud noises
Speaker 3: would freak him out and he would jump into bunkers,
Speaker 3: and the little sleep that he did get was plagued
Speaker 3: with nightmares. I mean, these are all very, very common
Speaker 3: when it comes to post traumatic stress disorder, because your
Speaker 3: body is reliving or trying to process whatever you went
Speaker 3: through in the first place, there's a Without treatment, PTSD
Speaker 3: sufferers will notice the distortions in.
Speaker 2: Their behavior, in their mood.
Speaker 3: They will constant feel like they're in danger, and that
Speaker 3: makes them avoidant, that makes them draw into isolation, and
Speaker 3: then you've got shame and guilt and anger and it
Speaker 3: all festers and it causes depression and like I said,
Speaker 3: that dramatically high risk of suicide that comes along with it.
Speaker 3: So treating it, Treating PTSD revolves around the question of
Speaker 3: how do you get a person to leave the past
Speaker 3: in the past. And yes, there are different therapeutic avenues
Speaker 3: for that. In the case that we were talking about
Speaker 3: last week, there are medical avenues for that that they
Speaker 3: have been working on. The problem with prolonged exposure, though,
Speaker 3: is that it can be hard to get through and
Speaker 3: if you want to hit this thing head on. You
Speaker 3: just want to sit on a therapist couch and talk
Speaker 3: about over and over and over and over again the
Speaker 3: most traumatic moments of your life that can be painful.
Speaker 3: There is a new unconventional route called reconsolidation of traumatic
Speaker 3: memories reconsolidation of traumatic memories RTM. There is a belief that,
Speaker 3: or a theory is a better word, that treating PTSD
Speaker 3: could be painless. Right, you wouldn't have to go through
Speaker 3: and relive those moments in the same way. When it
Speaker 3: came to Jeff Turner and him doing this reconsolidation of
Speaker 3: traumatic memories, he said it was wildly successful, to the
Speaker 3: point where he couldn't believe that it was working. His words,
Speaker 3: it seemed too good to be true.
Speaker 2: So what our TM.
Speaker 3: Does is it uses movies as a metaphor to replay
Speaker 3: something in your memory. It's big, long, eighty nine step
Speaker 3: protocol and it starts with very simple baby steps. Not
Speaker 3: to infec analyze this thing, but just to make it easy.
Speaker 3: You imagine yourself seated in a movie theater that you
Speaker 3: associate with happy memories, think about your favorite movie. You
Speaker 3: then smell the popcorn, you feel the seats. You can
Speaker 3: smell the stickiness, smell the stickiness, you can smell the
Speaker 3: floors whatever, I don't know. And then you Begum the projectionist,
Speaker 3: and you hit play and think of your event in
Speaker 3: black and white, and you watch yourself seated watching the screen.
Speaker 3: So you're not watching the movie yourself. You're watching yourself
Speaker 3: watch the movie. And again, some of this is therapeutic
Speaker 3: mumbo jumbo, but if you are willing to put yourself
Speaker 3: through the exercise, Jeff Turner and other people who have
Speaker 3: done this reconsolidation of traumatic memories say it absolutely works.
Speaker 3: If you ever pull yourself out of it, your body shifts,
Speaker 3: your voice changes, your teeth clench, something like that. The
Speaker 3: therapist will bring you back. Hey, calm down, we're going
Speaker 3: to start over. We're going to get through this. You're
Speaker 3: going to watch yourself watch the movie. And then once
Speaker 3: you are able to do that for about sixty seconds,
Speaker 3: you change the perspective in some way. You change the
Speaker 3: camera angle, maybe you move the screen back twenty feet.
Speaker 3: One of the suggestions is you replace the characters in
Speaker 3: this movie with stick figures to kind of depersonalize it
Speaker 3: until you can repeatedly watch it from start to start
Speaker 3: to end without reacting to it. The point of this
Speaker 3: reconsolidation of traumatic memories is to see that thing over
Speaker 3: and over and over again, tweaking it a little bit
Speaker 3: more each time, so that it gets farther and farther
Speaker 3: away from the actual event, that when it goes back
Speaker 3: into your.
Speaker 2: Memory, it's different. It's not the same thing.
Speaker 3: And if you can constantly watch the clip without reacting,
Speaker 3: that's when the second phase of that reconsolidation of traumatic
Speaker 3: memories begins. You can, in vivid color and detail, now
Speaker 3: walk up to the movie screen and step inside the
Speaker 3: final frame of the film and the whole thing they
Speaker 3: tell you to rewind it and go back. It's a weird,
Speaker 3: fascinating and hopefully successful approach to PTSD that hadn't been
Speaker 3: worked before. Now others who know about this kind of
Speaker 3: therapy have said, well, there's not a lot of medical
Speaker 3: psychological evidence to show that it works on a large scale,
Speaker 3: but if it works for a handful of people, I mean,
Speaker 3: for the same reason that we would say that you
Speaker 3: would want tests done on psychotherapeutic drugs. You want to
Speaker 3: be able to help as many people as you can,
Speaker 3: not everybody's going to be helped in the same way.
Speaker 3: So maybe this is one of those paths that you
Speaker 3: can take, specifically for Jeff Turner and for other people
Speaker 3: who have suffered PTSD whether they're veterans or in other
Speaker 3: forms of life that they need some help to get through.
Speaker 3: So I thought that was pretty interesting, coming back youth
Speaker 3: sports to the tune of millions of dollars. Could a
Speaker 3: fourteen year old be a millionaire because of name, image,
Speaker 3: and likeness. We'll tell you, but the story about Caden Coleman.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty.
Speaker 4: Gary, Jeff Fromer right here, what you're describing with the
Speaker 4: PTSD treatment is something in lock worse we call a
Speaker 4: cognitive interview technique. We use it extensively with sexual assault
Speaker 4: victims or people who have experienced a very violent or
Speaker 4: traumatic event. It works great. I actually teach this th
Speaker 4: about the state an instructor with behavioral analysis training incorporated,
Speaker 4: and I'm glad to see that this technique is being
Speaker 4: used to other places to help other people. Thanks for
Speaker 4: this highlighting this topic.
Speaker 2: Thanks yeah, no, thanks great insight from you. Again.
Speaker 3: We were talking about reconsolidation of traumatic memories a new well,
Speaker 3: maybe not necessarily that new, but being used in some
Speaker 3: new arenas. Britney Coleman has a little boy named Caden Coleman.
Speaker 3: And by little I mean he's fourteen. He's not little physically,
Speaker 3: he's five eight, one hundred and sixty five pounds, but
Speaker 3: I mean little boy mentally, smart kid, honor student. He
Speaker 3: maintains a three point five grade point average at his school,
Speaker 3: his junior high school in the DC area. Next year
Speaker 3: he's going to be going on to Damatha Catholic High School.
Speaker 3: He is going on an academic scholarship, but Damatha Catholic
Speaker 3: High School happens to be a national powerhouse in football.
Speaker 3: When Caden was just ten years old, youth football coaches
Speaker 3: started pressing envelopes with thousands of dollars into Mom's hands.
Speaker 3: They wanted Caden to play for their club teams in
Speaker 3: Maryland or New Jersey or elsewhere on the Atlantic seaboard.
Speaker 2: She always refused.
Speaker 3: Mom, the smart one, always said no because she didn't
Speaker 3: want to tarnish her son. Now that kid has become
Speaker 3: one of the best eighth grade football players in the country.
Speaker 3: Which is weird that we have a scale by which
Speaker 3: to measure eighth grade football players, but he's one of
Speaker 3: the best, and mom says that by the end of
Speaker 3: his freshman year that starts in September, by the end
Speaker 3: of his freshman year, she wants to have him at
Speaker 3: about a million dollars. I uh okay, we talked a
Speaker 3: little bit about this. You know, young, the youngest of
Speaker 3: young athletes being invited into this world of name, image
Speaker 3: and likeness deal. There's a kid in Los Angeles nine
Speaker 3: years old who got signed to one of these deals.
Speaker 3: There are at least forty one states and DC that
Speaker 3: have policies through their athletic associations that do allow NIL
Speaker 3: agreements for high school students, and many of those also
Speaker 3: allow deals for students in middle school.
Speaker 2: Rebok Gatorade leaf trading cards.
Speaker 3: They've offered lucrative deals to a handful of high school
Speaker 3: football and basketball stars. Local companies think real estate companies, clothing, restaurants, etc.
Speaker 3: And it can be everything from hey, the star wide
Speaker 3: receiver on the South Fresno High school football team gets
Speaker 3: free pizza every weekend or something like that, which without
Speaker 3: these name, image and likeness deals would have been illegal.
Speaker 3: Now he can do that. It can go from that
Speaker 3: to seven figures from some of these major brands. So
Speaker 3: Britney Coleman again, Caden's mom is trying to steer in
Speaker 3: this new world and make sure that her son doesn't
Speaker 3: get taken advantage of. So she actually finds an ally
Speaker 3: in Mike Shariff, who is the coach at the middle
Speaker 3: school that this kid goes to. And he knew that
Speaker 3: this whole name, image and likeness gold rush was coming
Speaker 3: and he was ready for it.
Speaker 2: He doesn't like it.
Speaker 3: He's not a fan of the system because he thinks
Speaker 3: to himself rightfully, so how healthy is it for you
Speaker 3: to pay a ten year old to play a game?
Speaker 3: And how damage is damaging would it be to the
Speaker 3: rest of the team if one of the kids on
Speaker 3: your forty man roster is getting paid while the others aren't.
Speaker 3: But he does know you can't ignore the marketplace. So
Speaker 3: what he has done he has taught each one of
Speaker 3: the players how to open a savings account. He brought
Speaker 3: in a bank representative to talk parent, to talk to
Speaker 3: the parents, I should say, he makes sure that the
Speaker 3: kids pass of financial competency tests, that they take lessons
Speaker 3: in handling social media, in how to handle an interview
Speaker 3: with the news media, and if you get one of
Speaker 3: those nil deals on his team, you also have to
Speaker 3: have a higher grade point average. If you are to
Speaker 3: get a name, image and likeness a deal on his team,
Speaker 3: you have to have a three point five grade point average.
Speaker 3: Caden Coleman has been famous in football circle since he
Speaker 3: was nine. He's been on club teams the whole time. Fast,
Speaker 3: strong running back that completely breaks records left and right
Speaker 3: for eighth graders, I suppose. But again, coach Sharif coach
Speaker 3: Mike has helped Caden's mom vet these would be sponsors,
Speaker 3: including a clothing brand, a local clothing brand there and
Speaker 3: just outside of Baltimore, second and six. They've had deals
Speaker 3: with high school players before, but Cayden was the first
Speaker 3: middle school player that they came to. And he's already
Speaker 3: got nine thousand, almost ten thousand Instagram followers, but his
Speaker 3: highlights reached tens of thousands across social media. And when
Speaker 3: he's wearing the second and six athletic gear. While he's
Speaker 3: doing these videos, he gets more free clothing, he gets
Speaker 3: a commission of sales on certain items, and again they
Speaker 3: mom says she wants to be able to provide for
Speaker 3: her son a safe path into adulthood, which in this
Speaker 3: case would be paid for with a lot of money.
Speaker 3: And again, she's not entirely down with this whole thing,
Speaker 3: but knows that she has a goal for him. The
Speaker 3: goal is for him to reach a million dollars is
Speaker 3: freshman year in high school. Maybe that's what's wrong with
Speaker 3: youth sports.
Speaker 2: We allow them that. We'll talk about youth sports.
Speaker 3: Coming up in a bit, we'll do trending stories, more
Speaker 3: on our youth sports problems. Motivational Monday coming up at
Speaker 3: twelve thirty, and then that crazy, very strange niche DJ
Speaker 3: job in mixtape Monday is coming up.
Speaker 2: You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3: You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
Speaker 3: forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
Speaker 3: and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
