The Dow is a mess. 17 00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:41.240 It's having another down day on Wall Street right now. 18 00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:45.320 Dow down six seventy seven. Markets lost a combined four 19 00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:47.920 trillion dollars in value yesterday. 20 00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:50.280 Don't panic yet. 21 00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:53.439 Investors remain concerned over the state of the economy as 22 00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:59.200 this tariff war standoff, whatever it is, continues. Nasdaq S 23 00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:00.960 and P five hundred lower as well as you can 24 00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:02.439 imagine all that. 25 00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:06.159 Also playing in the background is this ongoing fight over 26 00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:09.760 a potential government shutdown. The Republican led House is planning 27 00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:12.519 a vote, I believe, at about one o'clock today our time, 28 00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:15.799 on a stopgap measure to keep the federal government funded 29 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:16.879 beyond Friday. 30 00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:20.719 Politico has said that Vice President J. D. 31 00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:25.680 Vance met with House Republicans today and said that Republicans 32 00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:28.599 will be taking the blame for the government shutdown if 33 00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:31.640 they don't pass this. Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, 34 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.239 said this is squarely at the feet of Democrats if 35 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:35.280 they don't pass something. 36 00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:38.280 So some dispute there, I suppose. 37 00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.000 Well, we broke this to you as it was breaking yesterday. 38 00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.359 We saw this coming. The murder trial of that Orange 39 00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.959 County judge who pulled a gun from his ankle holster 40 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.200 and shot and killed his wife during an argument in 41 00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:53.159 their home in Anaheim Hills has ended in a mistrial. 42 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:58.120 Jurors could not agree on a unanimous verdict, which means 43 00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.920 that they could not agree, thank you, despite more hours 44 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:06.680 of deliberation than even evidence that they heard. This was 45 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:11.639 Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Ferguson, who, while sitting at the 46 00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:17.080 police station said aloud to himself, I killed her. Ladies 47 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:20.520 and gentlemen of the jury, convict my ass I did 48 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.280 it well. The actual jury did not. 49 00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:27.919 The jury for person was telling a judge yesterday. So 50 00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:31.240 they were hung on a second degree murder charge eleven 51 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:37.560 to one guilty eleven to one guilty they had had 52 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.479 they unanimously agreed that he was not guilty of the 53 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.439 second degree murder, they could have considered either a lesser 54 00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:47.919 involuntary manslaughter conviction, or even acquitted him of all the charges. 55 00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:50.759 He seemed to be holding back emotion during the week 56 00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.360 long trial. He did not show any obvious reaction to 57 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:55.960 the announcement of the mistrial. Here's how it went down. 58 00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:00.000 If you're just joining the story, This was a judge. 59 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:02.879 She liked his cocktails. He and his wife and one 60 00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:04.879 of the sons, they go out to dinner there in 61 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:05.680 Orange County. 62 00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:07.000 They had a couple pops. 63 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.879 After having a couple pops at home, they get into 64 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.960 an argument about spending money on a son that he 65 00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:16.960 had had with another woman before these two were married. 66 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.639 And as fights over money, off and get it gets 67 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:25.319 contentious and he's at the dinner table when he uses 68 00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:29.599 his fingers in his hand to form the form a gun. 69 00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:30.919 You know what I mean, make a gun with your 70 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:32.800 hand with your fingers, right, we know how to do that. 71 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:34.400 He does that to her at the table and she 72 00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.080 says something effective, why don't you use a real gun. 73 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:40.800 They get home a couple more pops, they continue to 74 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:44.240 get into it. He claims that he was trying to 75 00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:47.240 put the gun away and he took it out of 76 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:49.919 his holster, it went off, it fired, and it killed her. 77 00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.280 The prosecutors argued, no, he obviously took it out in 78 00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:56.759 the heat of the moment, shot her and killed her. 79 00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:01.039 The son, who was there in the home that went 80 00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:03.479 to dinner and was in the home, subsequently said that 81 00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:08.439 his mother's last words were, he shot me. He The 82 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:12.240 judge also, just moments after he shot and killed her, 83 00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.080 got on his phone and started texting his bailiff and 84 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.839 court reporter. Hey, I'm not going to be in tomorrow. 85 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.279 Sorry about that. I've shot and killed my wife. Yet, 86 00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:24.439 this is a jury that could not decide based on 87 00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:28.839 what I can only believe was a muddled explanation of 88 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:32.199 the law. My only explanation is that they did not 89 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:35.959 explain the law correctly to these us because the second 90 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.639 degree murder charge is an implied malice murder. And here's 91 00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:42.120 how it's been described to me. You have a loaded 92 00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:44.439 gun and you fire it into a crowd of people. 93 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.720 Do you mean to shoot and kill any. 94 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.680 Of those people? No, you do not, But you know 95 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:51.199 that what. 96 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:54.720 You're doing is inherently dangerous. You know that you're operating 97 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:59.120 with a conscious disregard of human life. That there alone 98 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:01.639 is enough to get get you to a second degree murder. 99 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:05.079 And they could not find that in this case. They 100 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:07.879 must have believed the defense argument, or at least a 101 00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:11.800 one person stuck in dug in and would not believe 102 00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.319 anything different than the defense explanation that this guy had 103 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.360 had a couple pops, he was trying to put the 104 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.079 gun away, he's got the arthritis in the shoulder, he 105 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:21.879 was sloppy, the gun went off and killed her. 106 00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:25.240 Yeah, the prosecutors were basically saying it was a complete 107 00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:27.680 BS story that he admitted over and over again to 108 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:29.800 shooting his wife. He said it outside the house, he 109 00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.519 said it in the police station. The key, at least 110 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:37.519 to the defense was he never admitted to intentionally shooting 111 00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.600 his wife. And the way the prosecutors argued that was 112 00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:44.199 they said, well, this guy's clearly a judge. This guy 113 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:48.040 knows the law, and he has the ability with that 114 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.120 knowledge of the law, he has the ability to answer 115 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:56.240 certain questions in certain ways to avoid culpability. 116 00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:58.920 But he didn't need to intentionally shoot her. That's what 117 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:02.240 a second degree murder. Is is right? Yeah, and that's I 118 00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:06.079 think your point is perfect. That what we understand as 119 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:09.920 the basic definition of second degree murder, this actually this 120 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.720 fits it, and he admits to it. Todd Spitzer, the 121 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.319 DA says that this is despite the hung jury, this 122 00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:20.560 and mistrial. This is a success for him because and 123 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:24.000 for the ocda's office, because they have an eleven to one. 124 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.519 They're pretty confident that they could do this again with 125 00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:29.879 twelve more juriors and come up with a twelve nothing. 126 00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:32.519 Tod Spitzer could take a dump in the morning and 127 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:34.199 call it a successful day. 128 00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:36.399 Well, I think that's. 129 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:39.079 You think that many people would. Many people would. Yeah, 130 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:40.000 you're right, you're right. 131 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:40.639 I was wrong. 132 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:47.079 Yeah, I mean you made you made it here before 133 00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:51.000 you had your experiment. 134 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.480 Before I peed the car. Yeah, I did make it. 135 00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:59.279 Thank you for letting me take that victory letter. Well today, 136 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:03.839 all right? Coming up next. Did you ever know that 137 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:07.480 there was a Life After Death club. 138 00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:08.240 In Orange County? 139 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:09.199 No? 140 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:19.720 Well there is, and they dedicate themselves to learning about 141 00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:26.360 people after they pass on. It's probably like a grief tool. Okay, 142 00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:29.639 you got just open your mind. As we move into 143 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:31.079 the next segment, we shall. 144 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:35.319 See you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from 145 00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:37.040 KFI AM six forty. 146 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:43.720 Coming up next, a lot of American adults withdrawing from romance. 147 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:47.040 Have you noticed it's not just young people, but the 148 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:50.839 trend seems to be especially pronounced for people born between 149 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:54.480 nineteen ninety seven and twenty twelve. They say that love 150 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:58.600 is media driven. Not completely wrong, we'll dive into it. 151 00:07:58.639 --> 00:07:59.560 Coming up next. 152 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:04.199 Well, there is a Life After Life Club and it's 153 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:07.279 where exactly where you would think you would find it, 154 00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:09.079 exactly where you think you would find it, and that 155 00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:12.839 is what I think of as a wonderful place to 156 00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:15.879 spend my golden Year's leisure World. 157 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:17.839 They're in Orange County. 158 00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:19.920 There's always a bathroom around the corner. 159 00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:23.600 The majority of residents in their mid seventies at leisure 160 00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:28.879 World and for almost twenty years, the Life After Life 161 00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:34.200 Club has gathered to learn about the healing power of UFOs, 162 00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:40.240 trance channeling the power of animal communication, near death experiences. 163 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:42.399 Their sessions are recorded. 164 00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:46.279 Their YouTube channel has about thirty thousand subscribers more than 165 00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:51.399 three point five million visitors, and recently they all got 166 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:54.320 together to hear what the dead have to say to 167 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:55.000 the living. 168 00:08:57.039 --> 00:09:07.559 It's very beetlejuice, isn't it. I know, you don't believe 169 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:08.320 in any of it. 170 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:10.799 You don't have to come down anywhere because this is 171 00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:14.200 this could be something that evolves. I think a lot 172 00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:19.000 of people are doubters of psychics and things like that, 173 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:21.639 and that's what they had. They had a psychic come in. 174 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:27.159 Jennifer Rose is her name, very New agey, and. 175 00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:29.960 She speaks. 176 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:32.960 She says of spirit. She's speaking of the dead, but 177 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.639 she would never use that word. She says the dead 178 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:38.879 are lifeless and gone, but the spirit which she courts 179 00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:46.679 is animated, full of love and loved. And they want 180 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:51.480 to talk to Jennifer Rose about not only what the 181 00:09:51.480 --> 00:09:54.639 dead have to say to the living, but also to communicate. 182 00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.879 I mean, think about the demo here, leisure world. People 183 00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:01.440 in their mid seventies. Everyone's kind of with their own mortality. 184 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.200 They probably have loss in their life, recent loss, a 185 00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:09.600 lot of it, and they want to believe that there's 186 00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:12.639 something beyond this world, or some of them want to 187 00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:19.960 believe that. So that's why they gather for this. She says, 188 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.600 what happens when we pass over? That's what she asks 189 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:25.200 the group. She says, as a medium, I bring a 190 00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:28.320 lot of people together in reuniting, and I deliver a 191 00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:29.799 lot of apologies too. 192 00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:31.840 Isn't that fascinating? 193 00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:37.799 All the people that have rifts with others and somebody 194 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.840 passes on and that riff remains and it bothers them. 195 00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.320 One woman who didn't want to give her name, confide 196 00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:47.679 she liked to hear from her brother, who recently died. 197 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:50.240 She says they were close until this last year, she said, 198 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:52.720 when he lost his mind to cirrhosis and they fell apart, 199 00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:54.840 so she wanted to patch things up. 200 00:10:56.919 --> 00:10:58.840 Well, that's where my. 201 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:07.120 The questions begin for me, which is oftentimes if you're 202 00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:09.720 going to if you're gonna go see a medium or 203 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.200 a psychic or a spirit talk or whatever term, it's 204 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.200 because you feel like there's some unfinished business that you 205 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:21.159 want finished. I didn't get to answer the question, or 206 00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:22.799 I didn't get to tell you that I loved you, 207 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:24.600 or I didn't get to hear from you that you 208 00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:26.519 were proud of me, whatever. 209 00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:28.200 And I think of. 210 00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:34.240 In my instance, for example, my parents died, but I'd 211 00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:37.200 never felt like there was unsaid stuff. 212 00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:39.480 We got it all out, we did everything we could. 213 00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:40.480 We were there. 214 00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:43.360 I was there when both of them pat like, that's 215 00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:48.399 a complete picture for me if I were to go 216 00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.120 see somebody like this. I don't have any open wounds 217 00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:57.039 that need to be solved, solved, saved. I don't have 218 00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:00.519 any wounds that need to be fixed. You know I don't. 219 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.159 I'm not emotionally broken by my parents and need them 220 00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:04.559 to apologize or need. 221 00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:06.879 To hear this something you want to tell them, like 222 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:09.799 if maybe if you know your daughter had a baby 223 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:10.480 or something. 224 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:13.320 I don't know. I have no idea what you would 225 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:14.279 want to You've. 226 00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:15.879 Broken a lot of news about my family in the 227 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:17.759 last ten minutes, and I want to know if that's 228 00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:18.279 true or not. 229 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:23.919 My daughter is pregnant, she's not. Okay, good, thank you. 230 00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:26.159 No. The only news I broke is that it's her 231 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:28.480 like best friend's birthday. I sat on Instagram. 232 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:28.919 Okay. 233 00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:29.240 Well. 234 00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:32.639 One woman at. 235 00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:36.279 This leisure World gathering raised her hand with a story 236 00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:40.240 and a question. Her husband, she said, passed away almost 237 00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:43.399 five years ago, and the first year she felt him constantly. 238 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:45.720 I've heard this before, she says. 239 00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:48.679 The TV came on, the lights came on, we started talking, 240 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:50.080 the clock would go crazy. 241 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:51.440 But then after a year and. 242 00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:53.879 A half, I woke up and I almost felt him 243 00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:56.799 pull from me and he was gone. Do they move 244 00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:02.600 on after so long? She said, that's a gift that 245 00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:05.799 you got all that. She said, I love all that stuff, 246 00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:08.840 the knox atteps, the banging on the walls, the change 247 00:13:08.840 --> 00:13:13.960 in temperature, things like that. That what she experienced was pure, unconditional, 248 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:17.200 extreme love. She attributes his sudden departure to the questioner's 249 00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:21.320 healing and need for new experiences. But that doesn't mean 250 00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:25.639 he can't return, she says, Now, I have heard that 251 00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:29.559 the departed sometimes stick around for a while, whether it's 252 00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:32.120 a day or three days or a week or what 253 00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:36.000 have you, or maybe longer, but then they continue on 254 00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:38.679 their journey because they want to make sure you're okay, 255 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:42.960 or someone's okay, or the family's okay, the home's okay, 256 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:49.159 things like that. But I don't think it matters what 257 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:53.039 we think about. This is long. It's kind of like faith, right. 258 00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:56.440 You look at people that attend church religiously, they seem 259 00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:59.679 to be a happy people. It doesn't matter that you 260 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:02.480 don't believe in it, or you don't think this is 261 00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:03.679 true or how could that happen? 262 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:04.120 Or whatever? 263 00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:06.840 Who cares it's not for you? Then it's for them. 264 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:09.879 Same thing with this kind of stuff. It doesn't matter 265 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:12.960 if you and I believe that the lights went off 266 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:15.879 in here because it was your parents saying, stop talking 267 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:20.240 about this, it's stupid. It just matters for the people 268 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:21.000 that it helps. 269 00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:22.919 If it helps you, like if you're a. 270 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:28.279 Totally listen and I mean, there's grief. How many times 271 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:30.840 as we said, there's no playbook for grief. We all 272 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.799 react differently. Some of us it hits immediately, some of 273 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:36.320 us it's a delayed reaction to grief, or it's a 274 00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:40.639 continuous grief, or sometimes it's just in short spurts. It's 275 00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:43.799 one of those things where if that's what you need 276 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.480 to help, like I said, heal those wounds that you 277 00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:49.480 think exists between you and your dearly departed. 278 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:51.919 Absolutely, And if. 279 00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:53.399 I get hit by a bus or something on my 280 00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:55.519 way home, I'm totally going to stick around and f 281 00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:55.799 with you. 282 00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:58.639 Like I mean, I think that would be a lot 283 00:14:58.639 --> 00:14:59.000 of fun. 284 00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:01.200 You're going to you're going to die in a crash 285 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:02.879 while you're peeing into a bucket. 286 00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:05.080 So maybe, but I'm going to stick around for probably 287 00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:05.720 about a year. 288 00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:13.320 All right, Gary, what happens if our teenagers never date romantically, 289 00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:16.440 but they just they just don't do it, Like, why, 290 00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:18.000 what's the what are we doing? 291 00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:19.159 We're breaking our children. 292 00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:20.000 It's a trend. 293 00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:21.919 Gary and Shannon will continue. 294 00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:27.240 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM. 295 00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:28.000 Six forty. 296 00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:32.519 Stories we're following for you today.

In 317 00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:45.879 a twenty twenty three poll from the survey On Survey 318 00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:50.559 Center on American Life, looks like young people is the 319 00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:51.480 group that is. 320 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:53.759 Pulling away the most. 321 00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:57.799 The number of teens experiencing romantic relationships has dropped quite 322 00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:01.320 a bit. According to this Survey Center, or fifty six 323 00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:03.720 percent of Gen Z adults say they'd been in a 324 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:08.039 romantic relationship at any point in their teen years, compared 325 00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:12.920 with seventy six percent the generation before and seventy eight 326 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:15.160 percent the generation before that. 327 00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.079 I wonder if, just right off the bat, if part 328 00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:20.319 of that is just a definition of what is a 329 00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:21.279 romantic relationship. 330 00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:24.759 I agree with you completely, because it's evolved, hasn't it. 331 00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:29.119 I think so because in the old days, in the 332 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:32.559 old days, say forties fifty sixties, if there was a 333 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:36.240 teenage girl and a teenage boy and they were in 334 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:39.880 a relationship, together. It went through a process, and there 335 00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:43.440 was a lot of formality to that courtship many times, 336 00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:46.480 not that I was alive then, but i've you know, 337 00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:48.720 you've seen the movies. That's just kind of the way 338 00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:52.279 the teenage boy would would have to go and carefully 339 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:55.359 dress up and go to the girl's house and meet 340 00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:58.279 the parents, and then they would be in kind of 341 00:17:58.319 --> 00:18:01.319 a relationship and maybe they were going steady or whatever 342 00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:02.359 term they used at the. 343 00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:04.640 Time, because that was the only access you had to 344 00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:08.599 anything female exactly. There was no playboy that came later. 345 00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:12.599 There was no cell phone where you could look up porn, 346 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:17.799 which came later. There was no casual relationships with text 347 00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:19.960 or email or any of that stuff that came later. 348 00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:24.160 If you wanted female interaction, which your brain is programmed 349 00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:26.359 for if you're a straight male, not just your brain 350 00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:30.480 but your penis, thank you, you. 351 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:31.079 Asked for it. 352 00:18:31.799 --> 00:18:34.440 You had to jump through hoops to get it. You 353 00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:36.759 had to go through a lot, you had to develop 354 00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:41.160 a set of balls. There was an interesting statistic at 355 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.200 all of this that I saw. It's deeper into it, 356 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:46.680 deeper into. 357 00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:51.720 The survey here, but it says about fifty six percent 358 00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:57.039 of gen z Dahers said that the fear of rejection 359 00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:00.519 kept them from pursuing a potential relationship, and about the 360 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:04.519 same amount said they had actually refrained from confessing their 361 00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:06.799 feelings about someone because they. 362 00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:08.319 Were worried that it would be a turnoff. 363 00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:13.359 Think about that, you're attracted to this person, but you 364 00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:14.960 don't want to tell them. 365 00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:16.480 That you're attracted to them. 366 00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:19.559 That's been the way, because you're afraid that they're going 367 00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:21.240 to I remember being wrong, I. 368 00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:23.599 Remember feeling that way. I feel like that has been 369 00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:27.279 That's a constant. I think that, you know, the aloofness 370 00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:30.000 you see teenagers have has been a constant.
