My wife yells at her and demands to know. 195 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:27.320 What the temperature is, like whether to if she's is 196 00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:28.039 it a sweater day? 197 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:28.240 Is it? 198 00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:33.840 Does us say? The name is Amanda? 199 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:34.480 Amanda? 200 00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:37.639 Really, I've never heard your voice your wife's tone? 201 00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:38.039 Do that? 202 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.039 You've never been in my bathroom? For one? 203 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:44.480 Yeah, but you have, well the bathroom downstairs. 204 00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:47.039 Oh yeah, but there's not anyone in there. Now that's 205 00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:49.120 where we keep the camera, but that's not where we. 206 00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:51.519 Have the because that's what you want to see. 207 00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:54.360 So she put money on that. 208 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:59.799 Yeah, all here my husband being like Amanda, Amanda, like 209 00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:06.000 the like the tone you'd use with a bad kid. Amanda, Amanda, 210 00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:08.080 like are you listening? 211 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:10.559 And I'm like, whoa. 212 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:13.600 I always because it bothers my wife, I will say 213 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:14.960 hey girl. 214 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:16.960 To respond. 215 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:19.960 Okay, So if you are one of the people who 216 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:22.480 wants this app Hi, Fred Rogan. 217 00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:22.840 How are you? 218 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:28.559 Oh my gosh, it's good to see your face. That's 219 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:29.399 excellent news. 220 00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:30.960 We will be here too. 221 00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:34.720 If you've gone in and downloaded this app because you 222 00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:41.000 want the AAI personal bought experience, be careful because yes, 223 00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:42.399 they're listening to everything. 224 00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:44.159 Everything you share is public. 225 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.039 There is no button to share only with your Facebook 226 00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:54.399 and Instagram friends or over a direct message. So if 227 00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:58.440 you're sharing it, you're sharing it for everyone everyone. 228 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.919 And don't forget there are kids in the house. 229 00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:05.360 Yeah, they are much more savvy when it comes to 230 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:08.240 this kind of technology than you are. And if they're 231 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:12.720 a little concerned or shy about asking you questions about something, 232 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:17.480 they're going to ask this unfiltered computer about it, and 233 00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:20.679 that unfiltered computer is going to tell them whatever they 234 00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:21.120 want to know. 235 00:12:21.639 --> 00:12:25.279 This is early AI, right, so they're using everything to 236 00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:29.360 make it better. So everything, all all your chats they're 237 00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:33.919 training metas ai. This AI will remember everything, a transcript 238 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:38.320 or a voice recording of every conversation you have with it. 239 00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:42.399 It's hooked into Facebook and Instagram. This is all also terrifying. 240 00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:47.120 Makes you want to touch anything, and oh yes, follow 241 00:12:47.159 --> 00:12:51.120 the money. Your chats can be used for ads. They're 242 00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:53.320 going to tailor all the ads more so than they 243 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:56.159 already are to you. Yeah, this is the makes me 244 00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.440 want to buy nothing. By the way, I have such 245 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.840 a contrarian that I have that response. The more tailor 246 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:04.399 the ads get to me of exactly what I want, 247 00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:05.879 the more I'm not buying anything. 248 00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:11.519 Was it the great mathematician ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park 249 00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:15.159 who said, just because we can do something doesn't mean 250 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.279 we should. Yes, this is this is this is the 251 00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:19.600 latest version of it for me? 252 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:20.120 Right? 253 00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:24.080 Is that Mark Zuckerberg is both feet into this and 254 00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.120 we're not paying attention to it? 255 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:29.840 Coming up next? 256 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:34.519 Oh, this was an interesting study about autism. This is 257 00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:36.840 not a ground I should say it is groundbreaking. This 258 00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:39.080 is not the end of the conversation about autism, but 259 00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:41.600 it is an interesting look at because that's been so 260 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:46.240 much in the headlines lately. A new study about maybe 261 00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:49.519 how to treat and then down the line even prevent 262 00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:51.879 some forms of autism. 263 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.000 Okay, sorry we're late, but I had one. I'll say 264 00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:56.960 it later. 265 00:13:57.320 --> 00:13:58.639 Say now, well, just. 266 00:13:58.639 --> 00:13:59.559 The whole meta thing. 267 00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:03.840 It's it's gonna talk sex with you that app so 268 00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:08.120 you're training this meta AI on how to talk about sex, 269 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:10.480 and it's gonna turn around and talk to possibly your 270 00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:12.240 children about sex one percent. 271 00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:14.039 That's freaking terrifying. 272 00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:17.879 Again, Mark Zuckerberg has kids, and should that should be 273 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.279 number one on his mind. My wife says, she's not 274 00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:23.360 screaming at Amanda, she's just letting her know the hierarchy 275 00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:24.320 in a stern tone. 276 00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:29.159 Oh that is it makes me. 277 00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:30.840 That's a nuanced yell. 278 00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:36.120 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI 279 00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:36.919 AM six. 280 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:40.240 Forty Soviet era spacecraft is coming back to crash down 281 00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:44.159 upon our heads one of these days. After about fifty years, 282 00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:47.440 the Cosmos four to eight to two spacecraft is supposed 283 00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:51.200 to come back to Earth sometime between tomorrow and Tuesday. 284 00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:55.679 We'll wipe us out then somebody it might. I mean, 285 00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:59.960 chances are pretty infinitesimally small, but they said it's life 286 00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:06.080 to begin its official deorbit on Saturday, but they do 287 00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:09.840 not know exactly what it's going to do. It was 288 00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.720 originally designed to withstand entry into the atmosphere of the 289 00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:16.360 planet Venus. That's where it was originally going to go, 290 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:19.440 So it is possible that parts of this thing do 291 00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:21.039 survive re entry. 292 00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:24.639 It never actually got out of low Earth orbit back. 293 00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:26.720 In nineteen seventy two, when it was launched and is 294 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:30.279 now falling and will fall at some point in the 295 00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:30.879 next week or so. 296 00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:34.960 A study out of the UNLV Running Rebels has discovered 297 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:38.600 a new molecular path that leads to autism. They say 298 00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:43.480 that this could open the way to treat and prevent autism. 299 00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:47.840 This was published last week in the journal Nature Neuroscience, 300 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:53.159 and it found that a gene that causes myotonic dystrophy, 301 00:15:53.320 --> 00:16:01.480 a genetic condition that creates progressive muscle weakness, also causes autism. 302 00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:05.639 Now, this is one of those small but large. It's 303 00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:10.080 small because there are different causes they believe, but large 304 00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:15.080 because it is a piece of the puzzle. One of 305 00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:20.240 the psychiatrists or research director at Integrative Clinical Psychiatry Assistant 306 00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:23.480 at Columbia said, this is a landmark example of an 307 00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:27.000 RNA mediated pathway to autism. Doesn't account for all of it, 308 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:30.399 but it does expose one route among the many that lead. 309 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:31.080 To the spectrum. 310 00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:33.720 Part of it is that about ninety five percent of 311 00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:38.320 kids who are autistic have at least one extra condition. 312 00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:41.679 And they said they noticed a high crossover between people 313 00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:46.240 suffering from myotonic dystrophy and autism. So he asked this question, 314 00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:50.039 what's happening in the brains of people with myotonic dystrophy 315 00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:54.039 on the molecular level, and what is happening in the 316 00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:57.240 brains of people with autism. So they looked at all 317 00:16:57.279 --> 00:16:59.840 of this and they said, it's going to be important. 318 00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:04.000 This research itself is important because it has the potential 319 00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:08.839 to develop treatments that would target missplicing so that the 320 00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:14.200 healthy versions of proteins are produced. The autism is a 321 00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:17.680 genetic disorder. About sixty to ninety percent of it, they say, 322 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:22.279 is genetics, which would leave room for outside factors, external 323 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:27.079 environmental factors, but not quite conclusive on what those genes 324 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:31.519 or what those mutated genes would be. So there's a 325 00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:36.559 laundry list of genes that might contribute to autism, and 326 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:39.759 this again is one of those. It's not the final 327 00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:42.839 piece of the puzzle, but it is one that hopefully 328 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:45.279 can bring some sort of clarity to all of this. 329 00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:51.920 So how would they go and prevent this from happening. 330 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:56.680 That's a great question, other than finding some treatment that 331 00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:03.039 specifically goes after the DMPK gene is what they're talking about. 332 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:09.359 DMPK that causes myotonic dystrophe can also cause the autism 333 00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:12.039 related genes. Again, they know the laundry list of some 334 00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:14.559 of them, but it would cause them to be mis 335 00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:20.200 spliced so that these autism related genes work differently, and 336 00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:22.839 when they are created they act as a sponge to 337 00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:26.759 absorb otherwise healthy proteins from a family of genes that 338 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:30.480 would disrupt muscle and brain development. Again getting in there 339 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.079 and hopefully stopping that cycle somehow, and again, then you've 340 00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:36.799 got to figure out when is this something that you 341 00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:39.599 would be able to detect in vitro? Is it something 342 00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:43.319 that comes that people are predisposed to autism and then 343 00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:45.400 some environmental factor affects them. 344 00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:50.039 When they're messing around DNA. At that point, it's I 345 00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:51.759 don't know. It's hard to say that that's down the 346 00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:53.839 road as far down there it is down the road, 347 00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:59.039 all right. Coming up next, near death experiences and how 348 00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:02.880 they change how people view their careers. I think you'd 349 00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:06.119 change the way you'd look at everything if you had 350 00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:10.720 a near death experience, I'd hope. So, how you choose 351 00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:13.880 to use your time, who you choose to spend it with. 352 00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:17.279 Why are you looking at my shoes? 353 00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:20.799 You'd probably rethink those shoes You're. 354 00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:24.359 Listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM 355 00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:24.920 six forty. 356 00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:27.799 There's a new study out of the Journal of Management, 357 00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:31.920 Spirituality and Religion. Yes, one of these things. One of 358 00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:35.960 these kids is doing his own thing, Management, Spirituality and Religion. 359 00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:40.359 What a racket. Found that after brushing up against death, 360 00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:46.240 near death experience something like that, employees frequently reprioritize their 361 00:19:46.279 --> 00:19:50.279 professional lives and they shift away from shoes like that. 362 00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:50.839 I'm sorry. 363 00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:54.759 They shift away from pursuing money or status or career 364 00:19:54.839 --> 00:20:01.039 advancement and go towards something meaningful, like what authentic relationships 365 00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:03.000 with colleagues and clients? 366 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:06.839 Do we have anybody who had a near death experience? 367 00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:12.880 Yeah, Shannon, I had a near death experience, and about 368 00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:16.400 twenty years ago after that, I took my watch off 369 00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:19.039 and said, I'll never wear this watch again because. 370 00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:21.079 Wherever I need to be able to be there on time, 371 00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:25.599 because I'm not going by time anymore. I'm just thank 372 00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:30.319 god I've on my got a second chance. Yeah, no, watch. 373 00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:30.880 Interesting. 374 00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:34.240 I wonder what happened to him there, because I guess 375 00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:37.640 you don't fall off the stadium at a Pirates game. 376 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:42.920 Well that's a near death, I guess. 377 00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:44.839 Yeah, he could have he could have died out there 378 00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:48.279 on the warning track, they said. For many near death 379 00:20:48.319 --> 00:20:51.799 experience survivors, the transformation is dramatic. Many people quit their 380 00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:56.200 jobs in search of more meaningful work. One participant in 381 00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:59.240 this study said they chose to purture press sorry, They 382 00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:03.960 chose to pursue to entrepreneurship rather than corporate advancement, and 383 00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:08.240 focused on their spiritual fulfillment rather than ego gratification. 384 00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:10.400 Yeah. I don't know. 385 00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:13.279 I have this feeling that you would, just many people 386 00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:18.400 would the desire for money or more money, money beyond 387 00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:21.440 what you need in a basic level, would go out 388 00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:21.960 the window. 389 00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:22.920 I really do. 390 00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:25.039 I think that if you had one of these experiences, 391 00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:28.119 it would be all about like being grounded and being 392 00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:32.640 around people you love and experiencing life, and not the 393 00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:35.480 constant pursuit of more money. I think that that would 394 00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:38.319 be the first thing that went by the wayside. If 395 00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:42.279 you could support yourself just in a basic way, you know, 396 00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:45.079 not the biggest house, the best house, the best cars, 397 00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:50.200 close watches to it, whatever, All that crap would just 398 00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:53.240 be that crap, and you would only care about like 399 00:21:53.359 --> 00:22:00.119 what feels good in a like a a basic. 400 00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:03.400 Yeah, I also know, I would be curious to know 401 00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:07.079
