Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to kf
Speaker 1: I AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
Speaker 1: demand on the iHeartRadio app. Okay, who had Barack Obama
Speaker 1: out trumping Trump on the day that an American pope
Speaker 1: was chosen?
Speaker 2: I did not.
Speaker 1: Obama kind of made it about him with Chicago. Not really,
Speaker 1: but yes, he said Michelle, and I said, our congratulations
Speaker 1: to a fellow Chicagoan, his holiness, Pope Leo the fourteenth.
Speaker 1: We will pray for him as he begins the sacred
Speaker 1: work of leading the Catholic Church and setting an example
Speaker 1: for so many, regardless of faith.
Speaker 3: I will find this interesting, the first interview he does
Speaker 3: with an English language station to hear him, To hear
Speaker 3: a pope without an accent speaking unaccented English.
Speaker 2: Very very true.
Speaker 1: This was a guy born in Chicago in nineteen fifty five,
Speaker 1: started his religious journey at twenty two in Saint Louis,
Speaker 1: where candidates often spend one or two years preparing to
Speaker 1: enter the Augustine Order founded by a thirteenth century saint,
Speaker 1: later twice elected Prior General, which is top leader of
Speaker 1: the Augustinians. After his time in Saint Louis. He went
Speaker 1: to study at the Pontifical Saint Thomas Aquinas University, where
Speaker 1: he was ordained in June of eighty two. Two years
Speaker 1: later he was sent to Peru, where he spent much
Speaker 1: of his time. He became a citizen of Peru in
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, went to Rome at the behest of Francis
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. The same time he assumed another title,
Speaker 1: the Prefect of the Decastory for Bishops, which is a
Speaker 1: very powerful head of the office that vets bishop nominations,
Speaker 1: one of the most important jobs in the Catholic Church.
Speaker 1: Well liked by everyone, seems to be quite affable, has
Speaker 1: a sense of humor and peace is his thing as
Speaker 1: being a good priest of the Augustinian Order.
Speaker 3: I hope, I hope that Saturday Night Live understands that
Speaker 3: they have to bring back the super famous.
Speaker 2: Oh I don't know this, you do.
Speaker 3: It's the Chicago guys that love Mike Dicka.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, aditional both working super fans.
Speaker 2: Oh, that would be funny, that would be very funny.
Speaker 2: George Went, Chris Farley dead.
Speaker 3: I don't think George Went's still around either, But you've
Speaker 3: got Joe Montana. You've got a bunch of different guys
Speaker 3: that could potentially Mike Myers, Robert Smigel.
Speaker 1: The Vatican says Pope Leo the fourteenth will celebrate Mass
Speaker 1: at the Sistine Chapel on Friday with the cardinals who
Speaker 1: elected him. He's going to recite the Regina Koli prayer
Speaker 1: on Sunday at Saint Peter's Basilica, and on Monday he's
Speaker 1: going to meet with journalists at the Vatican. There are
Speaker 1: people that are a little disappointed, as you can imagine
Speaker 1: that it is an American.
Speaker 2: It's too early to be disappointed the people. I don't
Speaker 2: like America. Oh, that part of it, okay.
Speaker 1: But his first message was for world peace. That is
Speaker 1: his bally Wick. That's that's an easy go to, so
Speaker 1: I don't I don't blame him for that. I'd like
Speaker 1: to see what the follow ups are. World peace is
Speaker 1: kind of we all, well, the august Indians, they celebrate
Speaker 1: peace as opposed to the Jesuits who focus on other
Speaker 1: things like community, I think, and I don't remember what else,
Speaker 1: what else other things going on?
Speaker 3: Time for what's happening, obviously that Pope Leo the fourteenth
Speaker 3: news is going to dominate for the next few days.
Speaker 2: There was a study that came.
Speaker 3: Out that suggested that gas prices in California could reach
Speaker 3: eight dollars a gallon by the beginning of next year.
Speaker 3: Part of it is the Phillip sixty sixth refinery here
Speaker 3: in la is set to close October of this year.
Speaker 3: Valero's Benetia refinery expected to close in April of next
Speaker 3: year's And there is a con and of course, that
Speaker 3: we would see a shortage of gasoline here in the
Speaker 3: Great Golden State as a result of it. Remember it
Speaker 3: was the beginning of last month, I believe it was.
Speaker 3: A report came out and said this has nothing to
Speaker 3: do with supply versus demand. It has everything to do
Speaker 3: with legislative, bureaucratic b s.
Speaker 2: I just freaked out a little bit. This is a
Speaker 2: little too weird.
Speaker 1: Remember yesterday, because I just picked up our jeopardy question
Speaker 1: because we usually do that at the end of the segment.
Speaker 2: Do you remember our jeopardy question yesterday? What the answer was?
Speaker 2: And I got it wrong? It was Saint Augustine. No,
Speaker 2: what it was, Florida. The town, Yeah, it was named
Speaker 2: after Saint Augustine.
Speaker 3: He listen, you can keep ignoring the God all you want.
Speaker 3: That's incredible.
Speaker 2: You will make impacts on your life.
Speaker 1: Because this is the first pope of the Augustine Order
Speaker 1: since the pope that created that order. Yeah it wasn't
Speaker 1: Pope Augustine. It was Pope up Else. I forget his name, but.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a moment there because your face changed and you
Speaker 3: almost teared up.
Speaker 2: Well, what are the odds? I don't know. That's insane.
Speaker 2: That's not the word that I would use, But okay,
Speaker 2: I think that's crazy.
Speaker 1: When is the When have we ever brought up Saint
Speaker 1: Augustine on this show?
Speaker 2: And all of a sudden, the next day you get
Speaker 2: an Augustinian pope synchronous? My god.
Speaker 3: LA City Council has approved slower speed limits near schools. Yesterday,
Speaker 3: the unanimously approved are proposal to reduce speed limits from
Speaker 3: twenty five down to fifteen miles an hour on three
Speaker 3: hundred and forty three streets near two hundred and one schools.
Speaker 3: Of course, the lower slower speeds would apply when kids
Speaker 3: are arriving too or leaving from school.
Speaker 1: Universal Studios is bringing the big screen to life this summer,
Speaker 1: the debut of the Universal Mega movie Summer. It's going
Speaker 1: to be a seasonal event running daily from June thirteenth
Speaker 1: to August tenth.
Speaker 2: Is this why they needed new people?
Speaker 1: Potentially it's going to have immersive experiences based on Jurassic World, Rebirth, Jaws,
Speaker 1: Back to the Future, Wicket.
Speaker 2: And how to Train Your Dragon? Are think I do?
Speaker 2: How do you train dragons?
Speaker 1: Well, they're going to have a dragon and then you're
Speaker 1: going to train it. Bill Gates is in the news.
Speaker 1: He's going to give away all his money. He went
Speaker 1: after I believe Elon Musk in this interview as well.
Speaker 1: This is what they've always talked about when they founded
Speaker 1: the Gates Foundation. They had always planned to just give
Speaker 1: away their money, which you can do when you have
Speaker 1: two hundred billion dollars.
Speaker 3: He plans to distribute virtually all of his wealth, thank you,
Speaker 3: I think he said. I think the number I saw
Speaker 3: was ninety nine percent, which is very generous of him.
Speaker 3: That would only leave him with two billion dollars. And
Speaker 3: I don't know how a guy's going to scrape by
Speaker 3: with two bees.
Speaker 1: We've got strange science headed your way at the bottom
Speaker 1: of the hour, and this one piqud our interest.
Speaker 2: Well, we talked about yesterday.
Speaker 1: We talked about what we'd be talking about today, that
Speaker 1: the chemistry of the smoke signals at the Vatican and
Speaker 1: how that all works. And we can touch on that
Speaker 1: even though we've gone through all the black smoke and
Speaker 1: then the white smoke, and we've got the new Pope
Speaker 1: in the whole bit. But there's another article for Strange
Speaker 1: Science that you've got to hear. It's all about what
Speaker 1: we're going to eat after the apocalypse.
Speaker 2: Fascinating stuff there.
Speaker 1: Would you like your Jeopardy question for today a prescient
Speaker 1: time of the show.
Speaker 2: Let's see if this is going to be something important
Speaker 2: as well. It could be.
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing about yesterday's Jeopardy question. It wasn't
Speaker 1: even just yesterday's Jeopardy question. It was from Saturday, and
Speaker 1: our jeopardy question was lame yesterday. And Keana dug that
Speaker 1: thing out of the trash. It was crumpled up, and
Speaker 1: she brought it to me because it was kind of
Speaker 1: like papal related and the jeopardy question yesterday was no good.
Speaker 1: She dug that thing out of the trash, brought it
Speaker 1: to us, and then it became the future.
Speaker 2: I had a good feeling. Yeah, that's the Holy Spirit,
Speaker 2: that is the Holy Spirit. That's exactly what that is,
Speaker 2: using messengers, right, all right?
Speaker 1: So anyway, today's the fifteen hundred's four four hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: In fifteen twenty eight, weavers in Kent, England went back
Speaker 1: back bananas when a Cardinal Woolsey moved the main trading
Speaker 1: port for this sheep product. Well, comes from a sheep, Gary,
Speaker 1: what is wool Yes, that's an awful clue. It was awful.
Speaker 3: And why are they papal? What do you mean there
Speaker 3: was a cardinal? Didn't you say it was a Cardinal Wolsey?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Why does everything have to do with the pope?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 2: Because of God? How did they they wrote that?
Speaker 3: They wrote that calendar a year ago, right, and I
Speaker 3: know they knew that on May eighteen?
Speaker 2: He's powerful? All right? Wow?
Speaker 3: Speaking of which, Speaking of which, Okay, the Angels won yesterday.
Speaker 1: Stop.
Speaker 2: Angels beat the Blue Jays five to four. Oh my god.
Speaker 2: And the blue Jays are Canadian? Right? Yeah? Yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't get that part. Well, America won today. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: You hear about a Canadian pope? Neither did I.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: We have a new Pope, surprise, the first American Pope,
Speaker 1: your two hundred and sixty seventh Pope. There there's other
Speaker 1: news that we have failed to get to. I heard
Speaker 1: John On talking out in the hallway, and one of
Speaker 1: the stories I wanted to get to today was Karen
Speaker 1: Bass blaming everybody for the fire response but herself. Did
Speaker 1: you hear that audio from that meeting? My goodness, gracious,
Speaker 1: the ego, the head in the sand, the lack of
Speaker 1: any sort of accountability at this stage is incredible.
Speaker 3: I'll compare it to we'll come back and do it
Speaker 3: because we're gonna give away some money. But I will
Speaker 3: compare it to something I heard from Bernie Sanders yesterday too.
Speaker 2: And I know they're different.
Speaker 3: I mean, they're different politicians, but it points to a
Speaker 3: symptom that we've talked about before many times when it
Speaker 3: comes to politicians.
Speaker 2: So anyway, that is coming up. A chance for you
Speaker 2: to win a thousand dollars.
Speaker 4: Now your chance to win one thousand dollars. Just enter
Speaker 4: this nationwide keyword on our website. Grand that's Grand g
Speaker 4: R A N D. Enter it now at KFIAM six
Speaker 4: forty dot com slash cash powered by Sweet James Accident Attorneys.
Speaker 4: If you're hurting an accident, winning is everything called the
Speaker 4: winning Attorneys.
Speaker 2: It's Sweet James.
Speaker 4: One eight hundred nine million. That's one eight hundred nine million,
Speaker 4: or Sweet teams dot calm.
Speaker 3: Again, the keyword grand goes on the website. Keep an
Speaker 3: eye on your email inbox. That is how winners are notified.
Speaker 3: Again an hour from.
Speaker 2: Now, mine is great? Is it okay? Why do you
Speaker 2: ask well after the after your routine you learned.
Speaker 3: I didn't if I moving on?
Speaker 2: So, Karen Bass.
Speaker 3: Has put blame on the city's mishandling of the fires
Speaker 3: on everyone but herself. She called out the LA Department
Speaker 3: of Water and Power. She called out the fire department
Speaker 3: chief for the LA City. She called out the insurance industry.
Speaker 3: She was talking at the Milkin Institute's twentieth Annual Global
Speaker 3: Conference yesterday, called a panel called Rising Strong LA's Path
Speaker 3: to Recovery. Now, is Karen Bass physically responsible for what
Speaker 3: happened in the Palisades?
Speaker 2: No, she couldn't be spitler ste.
Speaker 1: Just a little bit of accountability of Hey, we all
Speaker 1: know I screwed up.
Speaker 2: I shouldn't have gone on that trip.
Speaker 1: Just one time, just saying that one time, just saying, hey,
Speaker 1: I saw that forecast. It was awful hindsight twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: But I should not have gone. I should have been
Speaker 1: here for La that would go so far, even at
Speaker 1: this stage in the game.
Speaker 3: She said that the rebuilding has gone very fast. She's
Speaker 3: I'm going to repeat that again. She said, the rebuilding
Speaker 3: has been going very fast. Speak to anyone who has
Speaker 3: lived in that area or is still currently impacted by
Speaker 3: what's going on in the area, and they will tell
Speaker 3: you they can't see it. And if anybody should see it,
Speaker 3: it's the people who it impacts immediately, and they have
Speaker 3: not been able to.
Speaker 2: See it well. The permitting process alone.
Speaker 3: Also again, it's one of those things that you can
Speaker 3: your from your post in La City Hall. You can
Speaker 3: probably imagine that you think things are going well because
Speaker 3: people are telling you that the Emperor has no clothes,
Speaker 3: They're telling you, I'm sorry, They're telling you the Emperor
Speaker 3: does have closed, when in fact she doesn't. She says
Speaker 3: that the city issued its first permits to rebuild within
Speaker 3: two months at about two hundred people in the pipeline.
Speaker 2: Now that's it. How many two hundred that's it.
Speaker 3: That's ridiculous. The city plans to move things along by
Speaker 3: waving permitting fees.
Speaker 2: She said.
Speaker 3: She talked about that in the State of the City
Speaker 3: address in April, but there have been thirty seven thirty
Speaker 3: seven greenlit permits, thirty seven. There's no understanding of who
Speaker 3: she is and what she is saying. Bernie Sanders recently
Speaker 3: was asked about in an interview that I heard last night.
Speaker 3: He was asked about the Fight the Oligarchy tour that.
Speaker 2: He's been on. You've seen him do these different events.
Speaker 3: He was out at Coachell a couple of weekends ago,
Speaker 3: and he's been using private jet to get from one
Speaker 3: group to another, right one rally to another, ten twenty
Speaker 3: thirty thousand people at a time. And the question was,
Speaker 3: is that really fighting the oligarchy? You're trying to talk
Speaker 3: to the to the normal people when you're jet setting
Speaker 3: thousands of miles at a time on a private plane,
Speaker 3: And he said, well, there's no other way to talk
Speaker 3: to that many people. It's just this outsized view of
Speaker 3: their own importance, arrogance.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just covered in it.
Speaker 3: And it's politicians of all stripes. I mean, it's politicians
Speaker 3: as low. I shouldn't say low, but I mean in
Speaker 3: terms of representative size, the mayor of la a senator
Speaker 3: from the state of Vermont.
Speaker 2: You can't.
Speaker 3: You can't have that outsized importance, like that outsized view
Speaker 3: of your own importance and have any ability to relate
Speaker 3: to anybody, right, I mean representing Who do they think
Speaker 3: they are?
Speaker 1: It's not like God picked them to deliver the news
Speaker 1: that a new pope had been chosen. It's not like
Speaker 1: God sent a message yesterday telling them it would be
Speaker 1: a pope of the Saint Augustine order.
Speaker 2: I see what you do.
Speaker 3: Hey, we wanted to We wanted to say thank you,
Speaker 3: by the way, to God, also to nurses and teachers,
Speaker 3: which also are from God.
Speaker 2: Yes, Sam, because.
Speaker 3: It is a nurse appreciation Week and it is also
Speaker 3: teacher appreciation Week. In fact, Kafi and Stonefire Grill want
Speaker 3: to treat you and your family to dinner. So if
Speaker 3: you're a teacher or a nurse, or you'd like to
Speaker 3: give a gift to a teacher or a nurse, call in.
Speaker 3: We're going to have caller number six for your chance
Speaker 3: to win a one hundred dollars Stone Fire Gift Card.
Speaker 3: One eight hundred five to zero one, five, three four,
Speaker 3: eight hundred five to a one KFI Please, teacher or
Speaker 3: a nurse caller Number six is going to win one
Speaker 3: hundred dollars gift card to Stone Fire Grill.
Speaker 1: All right, what you would eat after the apocalypse? And
Speaker 1: no it's not pop tarts and cup of noodles. We'll
Speaker 1: tell you about it in Strange Science when we come back.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: A six forty.
Speaker 2: That I don't know. Yeah, it's not for strange science.
Speaker 2: God needs a break. Yeah, strange sience.
Speaker 4: It's like weird science, but strange.
Speaker 2: Well, let's start with the just make it popy.
Speaker 1: The science, but make it religious.
Speaker 3: Right the papal pyrotechnics that we have seen. Of course,
Speaker 3: conclave lasted just a little more than twenty four hours
Speaker 3: as the cardinals elected a successor to take over from
Speaker 3: Pope Francis. We know, of course, that it is going
Speaker 3: to be Pope Leo, the fourteenth cardinal, born and raised
Speaker 3: in Chicago, of all places, spent a lot of time
Speaker 3: in Peru, but he was announced this morning.
Speaker 2: Right as the show started. Bro, that's white smoke. I
Speaker 2: can't believe I said that. Actually, I think, to be clear,
Speaker 2: I think it was that's white smoke. Bro.
Speaker 1: We'll have to go back in my defense. You said
Speaker 1: it was black smoke or you couldn't tell.
Speaker 2: I couldn't tell.
Speaker 1: Because I and I clearly saw it white. And that's
Speaker 1: when I had to emphatically say that's white smoke. Bro.
Speaker 2: The sun was.
Speaker 3: Behind the chimney, so I didn't have a good It's okay,
Speaker 3: bad lighting.
Speaker 2: That's bad lighting. Sorry. When you're closer to God, like
Speaker 2: this one right here, you'll see the right colors has
Speaker 2: already removed the scales from your eyes. Is that what
Speaker 2: you're saying?
Speaker 3: So anyway, Popolo the fourteenth announced when the white smoke
Speaker 3: came out of the chimney at the Sistine Chapel today,
Speaker 3: but that was after at least three rounds of black smoke.
Speaker 1: Black smoke is the easiest to make. According to scientists,
Speaker 1: It is a mix of potassium percolate, an thrascing anthracine,
Speaker 1: and sulfur. In this reaction, the potassium percolate is the
Speaker 1: oxygen oxygen rich oxidizer. That's a fun thing to say.
Speaker 1: A roll at for equently serves in fireworks. Actually, it's
Speaker 1: very safe. It gives easily up to oxygen, and so
Speaker 1: it's a quick thing. Now the white smoke more challenging.
Speaker 1: There's a reason why they wait till the end.
Speaker 3: Well, and think about what we've talked before about fires, wildfires,
Speaker 3: and you see black smoke, that usually is an indication
Speaker 3: that it's active fire. I thought the symbolism was interesting
Speaker 3: because if you get early on a fire, the smoke
Speaker 3: tends to be black, as it's more active. When it
Speaker 3: gets sprayed down, when it's less active, that's when the
Speaker 3: smoke turns gray and often white.
Speaker 1: Black involves fuel, right exactly. So there you go. So
Speaker 1: now you know the chemistry. You can wow all your
Speaker 1: friends at cocktail hour. Hey, do you guys know how
Speaker 1: they make that black smoke?
Speaker 3: The zinc chloride, the immuni ammonium chloride, of the reasons
Speaker 3: why you see the.
Speaker 2: White smoke.
Speaker 3: They now have a recipe that calls for potassium chlorate, lactose,
Speaker 3: just common sugar, and a type of pine rosin sometimes
Speaker 3: known as Greek pitch, and then they throw that in
Speaker 3: there and that's why the white comes out. This is
Speaker 3: a fun story though, this one about there used to
Speaker 3: be a.
Speaker 2: Show on TV.
Speaker 3: I think it was a History channel that used to
Speaker 3: do this program called I believe it's called After People
Speaker 3: or After Human Yeah, and it was let's assume that
Speaker 3: something happened and humanity was wiped out, not animals, not
Speaker 3: all animal life, but just humans.
Speaker 2: And it was a.
Speaker 3: Show that would basically describe what would happen a month
Speaker 3: after life on Earth without humans a year and ten
Speaker 3: years and describe what how plants and animals would overtake,
Speaker 3: you know, major cities and things like that.
Speaker 1: Where are we on that Soviet spacecraft that's hurtling towards
Speaker 1: Earth and we don't know where it's going to land
Speaker 1: and it weighs eleven pounds the brief for two inches.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe it's Saturday. Is still the day there?
Speaker 2: Saturday is the day.
Speaker 3: Look up Cosmos two eight four I think is the
Speaker 3: name of the spacecraft. They may have narrowed it down
Speaker 3: a little bit. As we get closer to it, they'll
Speaker 3: have a better uh, because I haven't.
Speaker 2: They've been very quiet about it today, haven't they.
Speaker 3: You know what today they have been quiet about it.
Speaker 3: Maybe they know something that they're not telling us.
Speaker 1: Maybe this we wouldn't get a new pope and then boom,
Speaker 1: it's all over.
Speaker 2: Would we maybe may.
Speaker 3: Be listen it's not our design. It is not what
Speaker 3: you would eat after the apocalypse. What we may eat
Speaker 3: come Sunday.
Speaker 4: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 4: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: The city of Chicago produced a pope before they produced
Speaker 1: a quarterback who through for four thousand yards. Time take
Speaker 1: it to get picked new Pope two days Shadoor Sanders
Speaker 1: three days. Wow, we got a new pope before Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers made his decision.
Speaker 2: Again. I think they.
Speaker 3: I think Saturday and Live has to bring back Saturday
Speaker 3: Night Live has to bring back Bill Swirsky. Super fans
Speaker 3: talk about Dica and to talk about Pope Leo, and
Speaker 3: that would be a be a huge move on their part. Guys,
Speaker 3: keep it, keep it relevant. Over there, would you have
Speaker 3: so good? One of the other big stories today came
Speaker 3: out of Washington, d C. President Trump announced a trade agreement,
Speaker 3: a huge trade deal with the United Kingdom. He wrote
Speaker 3: today on Truth Social The agreement with the UK is
Speaker 3: a full and comprehensive one that will cement the relationship
Speaker 3: between the United States and the United Kingdom for many
Speaker 3: years to come. They held a held a news conference
Speaker 3: there in the Oval Office to make the announcement. He
Speaker 3: was flanked by some British representatives but also the economic
Speaker 3: team that he's been working with.
Speaker 1: Somebody has put the pope speech as dubbed over the
Speaker 1: Pope's speech like bad lip reading and still can't believe
Speaker 1: the Pope said this during his first speech. God bless
Speaker 1: you all, except those for who live in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Speaker 1: You may have more Super Bowls, but f the packers.
Speaker 2: So good. I caught him so easily amused by NFL memes.
Speaker 3: Organizers of the Golden Globes have came out with a
Speaker 3: huge announcement. They're going to introduce a best Podcast category
Speaker 3: starting next year for the eighty third Golden Globe Awards
Speaker 3: Best Podcast.
Speaker 2: There's already podcast awards.
Speaker 1: To Keana's point that she made on The Conway Show
Speaker 1: yesterday when they spoke about this.
Speaker 3: Top twenty five podcasts is what they're going to choose
Speaker 3: from and then make six nominations out of those twenty five.
Speaker 1: Cool What You'd eat after the apocalypse If a global
Speaker 1: catastrophe disrupted international trade and fuel supplies, what would our
Speaker 1: survival hinge on get ready for this list.
Speaker 2: Are you sitting down and are you on a toilet?
Speaker 2: The diet would be of peas.
Speaker 3: Let me point out that they will not be using
Speaker 3: toilets after the apocalypse.
Speaker 1: Holes in the ground if you're lucky, water, if you've
Speaker 1: dug it, If you've dug it, peas, sugar beets.
Speaker 2: Spinach, and potatoes.
Speaker 1: Wow, my husband picks peas out of chow man.
Speaker 2: That's how much he likes peas.
Speaker 3: Well, he may be one of the first to go.
Speaker 3: Then if he will, he will be one of the first.
Speaker 3: They said of the crops that they studied, Peas would
Speaker 3: require the least land area to provide the protein and
Speaker 3: food energy needs of one person. Peas would love peas.
Speaker 3: I could eat peas all the time. I'm a big
Speaker 3: peas fan. They're also talking about different kinds of apocalypse.
Speaker 3: Sees would produce different results to this question, because, for example,
Speaker 3: a pea would survive a catastrophe where the climate is
Speaker 3: similar to today's.
Speaker 2: But not nuclear winter. Not nuclear winter no that scenario.
Speaker 3: Nuclear winter would be soot that's caused from these large
Speaker 3: scale nuclear explosions to block sunlight and cool the planet.
Speaker 3: Would shorten the growing season lower the average temperature. And
Speaker 3: in that case, they said, sugar beets and spinach would
Speaker 3: take the lead, both of those hardy spinach.
Speaker 2: I gottah, hey my spinach. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I can't just eat raw spinach like a Popeye.
Speaker 1: I gotta have some garlic, some olive oil, all the
Speaker 1: stuff that the apocalypse has gotten rid of.
Speaker 3: And even Popeye's spinach most of the time was canned.
Speaker 1: Might it be so pissed if the apocalypse comes and
Speaker 1: I don't get wiped out?
Speaker 2: If you're stuck, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: Could you imagine just sitting there alone like the guy
Speaker 1: in Twilight Zone with no glasses, all those books and peas,
Speaker 1: But you wouldn't have the books.
Speaker 3: Just outside the city, they say. They're talking about that
Speaker 3: being the peas and the beetroot. Sorry, the peas, the beats,
Speaker 3: and the spinach would be inner cities stuff where you've
Speaker 3: got like garden building, top gardens and rooftop gardens and
Speaker 3: stuff like that. But they said, outside the city, you
Speaker 3: could still use some of the industrial farming methods that
Speaker 3: we have developed over the years if there's enough land,
Speaker 3: et cetera. And you could probably get by with a
Speaker 3: bunch of potatoes.
Speaker 1: That's the last time you saw a rooftop garden in
Speaker 1: the city. Any city, Name a city, city, name a city,
Speaker 1: any city.
Speaker 2: I saw him in Nashville, Oh did you? Yeah, in
Speaker 2: people's homes.
Speaker 3: Tops of apartment buildings and things like that. Wow, potatoes
