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: At the bottom of the hour, we were talking about
Speaker 2: weird things that people have capped, and baby teeth is
Speaker 2: one of the weirder.
Speaker 3: Hey Gary, Hey Shannon. My husband and I dated for
Speaker 3: six or seven years, got married. We're in our thirties,
Speaker 3: had babies when I was in my forties. He was
Speaker 3: later in his forties. His mother tried to give me
Speaker 3: his baby teeth he was forty two years old. This
Speaker 3: is the strangest thing I've ever seen. I told her
Speaker 3: to throw those away.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be weird if you were trying to
Speaker 1: pass them off to somebody, Like your son comes over
Speaker 1: with his girlfriend and you're like, I got something for you.
Speaker 1: Here they are and you hand over your son's baby teeth.
Speaker 1: That's weird. But like a parent keeping their kids baby tooth,
Speaker 1: I don't think that's weird.
Speaker 4: I would do that well, and there may be a
Speaker 4: reason for it.
Speaker 5: Actually, baby teeth could be helpful if your children ever
Speaker 5: need them.
Speaker 4: Cell oh, a stem cell.
Speaker 6: They can go in the tooth, single stem cell, remove
Speaker 6: some cells, some DNA and create some stem cells for
Speaker 6: your kiddos.
Speaker 4: So keep those teeth.
Speaker 1: I don't think you should be keeping anything from your
Speaker 1: kid's bodies for medical reasons.
Speaker 4: But I have a scientific question there.
Speaker 2: Sure if they need if they need stem cells from
Speaker 2: my kid to help save my kid, where did the
Speaker 2: kid go?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 2: Why am I relying on teeth that came out of
Speaker 2: their body twenty plus years ago to extract DNA?
Speaker 4: Don't I still have a kid. If I'm trying to
Speaker 4: say because they have.
Speaker 1: An infection of some sort where they need an infusion
Speaker 1: of I don't know.
Speaker 4: You're asking the wrong We have any stem cells? We
Speaker 4: are not.
Speaker 1: This is way way, way above many things that we are.
Speaker 2: Next segment, there's a couple more slotted versus flathead versus
Speaker 2: straight screwdrivers Again, the dumbest things that.
Speaker 4: Bake the most people. That we'll do that. I can't wait.
Speaker 4: In the meantime, what else is going on? Time for
Speaker 4: what's happening?
Speaker 2: A very strange story out of Switzerland. A Swiss village
Speaker 2: has been buried by a glacier collapsing in the Alps.
Speaker 2: It's not a gigantic village, but three hundred people in
Speaker 2: the Valet region live in Blatten. This is going to
Speaker 2: be about fifty miles south of the capital of Switzerland
Speaker 2: and Burn. They said that they were able to evacuate.
Speaker 2: They believe almost the entire three hundred person population, including
Speaker 2: sheeps and cows, that were evacuated from the area of helicopters.
Speaker 4: It's just sheep.
Speaker 1: I don't know stem cells, but I know sheep is
Speaker 1: also plural.
Speaker 2: What did I say sheeps? I meant you're right, I
Speaker 2: meant sheep and cows. I was pluralizing two men, any
Speaker 2: of the things. Cows were airlifted by helicopter to get
Speaker 2: out of this thing. But this glacier, if you haven't
Speaker 2: seen the video, completely overwhelmed this small little town of Blatten.
Speaker 2: There is one sixty four year old man has been
Speaker 2: reported missing because he's believed to have been in the
Speaker 2: area at the time, but they're not certain if he
Speaker 2: was caught up in it or just hasn't checked in
Speaker 2: with anything and he.
Speaker 4: Just went somewhere.
Speaker 1: All these missing people that just want to get the
Speaker 1: hell out of places, sometimes we'll use the glacier to disappear.
Speaker 1: Why not, Well, we are going to potentially have record
Speaker 1: temperatures and a potential for thunderstorms over the next couple
Speaker 1: days here in southern California. National Weather Service talked about
Speaker 1: it in its forecast discussion today said dramatic warming as
Speaker 1: expected today and tomorrow above tempts over the weekend high nineties,
Speaker 1: even one hundred degrees. I'm kind of welcoming that after
Speaker 1: sitting in.
Speaker 4: That studio so cool.
Speaker 2: Temperature between eight and sixteen degrees above normal. Tomorrow is
Speaker 2: expected to be the peak.
Speaker 4: It looks like.
Speaker 1: Redlands, Banning, and Paris are going to have some unhealthy
Speaker 1: air if you're a sensitive person there.
Speaker 2: There is a bill under consideration up in Sacramento that
Speaker 2: would prevent Caltran's worker deaths and injuries. They say by
Speaker 2: putting automated speed cameras in those highway construction zones. I
Speaker 2: am in at least two construction zones every single day
Speaker 2: in the last I don't know, year and a half.
Speaker 2: It feels like either going to work or coming home
Speaker 2: from work, and the speed limit through those work zones
Speaker 2: is fifty five and no one gives two corny turds
Speaker 2: about what the speed limit is. They don't slow down,
Speaker 2: they don't And there are the digital display signs that
Speaker 2: tell you work zone speed limit is fifty five and
Speaker 2: then it will display your speed. And I don't know
Speaker 2: what people think when they drive by it and it's like, hey,
Speaker 2: you're doing seven venty seven in a fifty five and
Speaker 2: then it sells you to slow down, and that doesn't
Speaker 2: They don't pay, They don't care.
Speaker 4: They do not care.
Speaker 1: If you're going seventy and a fifty, you're not going
Speaker 1: to slow down for the sign that tells you you're
Speaker 1: doing so, I don't think. But who knows. You love
Speaker 1: smart children. You often bring us stories about eight year
Speaker 1: olds that have, you know, law degrees and things of
Speaker 1: that nature. We've got a baby Mozart in Encino, five
Speaker 1: year old piano prodigy that will be performing at Disney
Speaker 1: Concert Hall. Alec is his name, Alec Vaughan Kajudorian, and
Speaker 1: they say he does come across as your typical Encino preschooler.
Speaker 1: He loves video games, experimenting with cameras. A preschooler experiments
Speaker 1: with cameras, plays video games. That's kind of an advanced
Speaker 1: move for a preschooler, right. Maybe he does like running
Speaker 1: around his parents' house like your average preschooler, playing with
Speaker 1: his little brother and the family labradoodle.
Speaker 4: Stop.
Speaker 1: I can already tell what your face is doing when
Speaker 1: I say the word labradoodle.
Speaker 4: I didn't even need to look up to know.
Speaker 1: But anyway, aside from the five year old stuff, he
Speaker 1: does sit at the piano and he is a very
Speaker 1: gifted student with a perfect pitch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they say he's got perfect pitch. Have you ever
Speaker 2: met anybody that has perfect pitch?
Speaker 3: That?
Speaker 2: If I can identify music just by hearing a note,
Speaker 2: they'll tell you what note it is.
Speaker 1: My cousin Danny can play piano by ear. You can
Speaker 1: hear something and.
Speaker 4: Play it that enna.
Speaker 2: That sounds pretty amazing. Yeah, that would be an incredible talent,
Speaker 2: they said. Mom and Dad said they discovered this when
Speaker 2: Alec was a toddler. He would hear a note and
Speaker 2: plink it out on the piano and find the correct
Speaker 2: key almost immediately, almost instinctively, and that by within a
Speaker 2: year or so he was playing some pretty complicated classical
Speaker 2: music on the piano without ever reading sheet music.
Speaker 1: He's five years old and his goal is to play
Speaker 1: at carne Gee Hall and in a couple of months
Speaker 1: it will come true.
Speaker 4: And then what's the judge?
Speaker 2: Me five?
Speaker 1: And being like my dream is at Carnegie Hall.
Speaker 4: I've checked off everything on my bucket list.
Speaker 1: I mean, and then he may have an opportunity to
Speaker 1: meet Gustavo Dudamel. You know, this is one of those
Speaker 1: make a wish type situations. Not that he is sick,
Speaker 1: but John and Ken, John and Ken should could really
Speaker 1: get They know Gustavo Dudamel. Uh huh, you know, I
Speaker 1: know they love Gustavo Dudamel and of everything that he
Speaker 1: brings to the La Philharmonic are used to now he
Speaker 1: I think didn't he go to La or didn't he
Speaker 1: go to New York? I don't know. I have to
Speaker 1: ask John about it. They keep Good Time. Have you
Speaker 1: ever seen the mural they have of Gustava Good?
Speaker 4: Is that who that is?
Speaker 2: It's sort of that impressionistic, So I can't they know
Speaker 2: who it is?
Speaker 4: Clear? Yeah, I can't tell.
Speaker 1: And then they have a binder filled with every La
Speaker 1: Times article that was ever written about Gustavo Dudamel. And
Speaker 1: I believe, if I'm not mistaken, that one binder turned
Speaker 1: into like an entire library of binders.
Speaker 4: Because the La Time spent so much print on Gustavo
Speaker 4: that would explain the locked office between ours. Yeah, that's
Speaker 4: what's in there. That's exactly right. That's exactly right.
Speaker 2: A little bit more about screwdriver gate and the magical
Speaker 2: questions that can cut through small talk.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 4: As soon as tomorrow.
Speaker 2: To immediately pause a federal court ruling that blocks many
Speaker 2: of the president's tariffs, the US would seek emergency relief
Speaker 2: from the US Supreme Court to avoid the irreparable national
Speaker 2: security and economic harms at stake, According to a filing
Speaker 2: in the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit that
Speaker 2: came out this morning, would you.
Speaker 4: Like your Jeopardy question? Let's do that? Talk after that
Speaker 4: would be nice?
Speaker 1: Oh I love hot screwdriver talk. Okay, art an artist
Speaker 1: for four hundred dollars an artists. You can dine al
Speaker 1: fresco before you enjoy the frescoes.
Speaker 4: In the Oufeezy gallery. In this country, I would have
Speaker 4: to be what is Italy? Yes, Florence a little too easy,
Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 2: We were talking about things you can keep tools and
Speaker 2: I was saying that, really, if you have a good
Speaker 2: start with a flathead screw driver, a Phillips head, screwdriver
Speaker 2: and a hammer.
Speaker 4: That's a good start, you said. It wasn't even just
Speaker 4: a start.
Speaker 1: You just said, I think you were speaking to me,
Speaker 1: which makes sense, is do you know do you have
Speaker 1: a flathead, a Philip's head and a hammer? Do you
Speaker 1: know we're there in the house. And I said yes,
Speaker 1: and they're in the same drawer, and you said, great, and.
Speaker 4: That's all you need. Didn't whine.
Speaker 2: But somebody chastise us for calling it a flathead when
Speaker 2: he said it's called a straight screwdriver.
Speaker 4: And he's an instructor.
Speaker 2: He said, college law, trade school instructor, which is a.
Speaker 4: Great level of knowledge.
Speaker 1: I don't need that for what I do in my
Speaker 1: home with my screwdrivers and hammer.
Speaker 2: And because my point to you was you knew exactly
Speaker 2: what I was talking about, right, I didn't have to
Speaker 2: go the plus sign of the minus.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't have known what you meant if you said
Speaker 4: straight screwdriver.
Speaker 1: Hi, Garyan Channon, don't worry about what the guy said.
Speaker 1: In my house, we call them the plus and the
Speaker 1: minus screwdriver and it works for it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, that's cute. I didn't care what you call it.
Speaker 6: Gary, You are absolutely absolutely correct. I am in the
Speaker 6: trades of an electrician for twenty years. It is a
Speaker 6: slotted screwdriver because it's a slot that it goes into
Speaker 6: the same with watchmakers, they have slotted screws.
Speaker 3: That guy doesn't.
Speaker 6: Always talking about I hope it wasn't his student.
Speaker 4: Oh boy, Well we don't.
Speaker 5: Tell that guys college level instructor and that he doesn't
Speaker 5: actually work out in the field calling it a.
Speaker 4: Driver. Oh it's a flathead, thank you.
Speaker 3: I'm a mechanic. Call it what it really is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, flat hand over, educated and under and formed my own.
Speaker 1: You know what's funny about that guy is like when
Speaker 1: he started talking, I could visualize him and he had
Speaker 1: like grease on his hands, like he works for a living.
Speaker 1: He had some grease. And then he said he was
Speaker 1: a mechanic, and I was like, yes.
Speaker 2: He had to find the one clean finger out of
Speaker 2: ten to hit the microphone button.
Speaker 1: They're never clean. Well that's the thing about a mechanic's hands.
Speaker 1: You can clean them forever. They're never clean.
Speaker 2: My uncle was a heavy equipment mechanic like bulldozers, big
Speaker 2: rigs and things like that, and had I mean a
Speaker 2: million tools. That guy taught me more about tools than
Speaker 2: I think anybody else, just in terms of, hey, go
Speaker 2: get me the And I had no idea what he
Speaker 2: was talking about, and I had to go find it.
Speaker 1: Not to be a d but you know where I'm
Speaker 1: not going to go to learn about tools college?
Speaker 5: Oh my gery, Shannon Jack in Texas Tomato tomato potato,
Speaker 5: potato head or flathead?
Speaker 4: Who cares? It's a screwdriver. It's a good point, thank you.
Speaker 4: You know, it's a screwdriver.
Speaker 3: The only screws I hoard are the screws that are loose,
Speaker 3: that are.
Speaker 4: In Shank Fearn's head.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of this girl. That's a lot of
Speaker 1: screws that are loose.
Speaker 4: That's a lot of hoarding.
Speaker 1: That's a that's an episode.
Speaker 2: Priya Parker is a conflict resolution facilitator. We could have
Speaker 2: used her work here in this discussion between straight and
Speaker 2: flathead screwdrivers, but she says she says, the way to
Speaker 2: immediately cut through small talk in any environment, whether it's
Speaker 2: a party with strangers or a meeting or something like that,
Speaker 2: is to ask what she calls magical questions.
Speaker 1: So the reason I brought this to the show today
Speaker 1: is because It was the number one red article in
Speaker 1: Apple News this morning when I happened to be looking
Speaker 1: at the app and I thought, oh, so a lot
Speaker 1: of people must be interested in cutting through small talk.
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, well, when does one get into small talk?
Speaker 1: And immediately my first example for me would be when
Speaker 1: you're in the elevator with someone, and these aren't people
Speaker 1: that you work with, because you've got things to talk
Speaker 1: to in common that people you work with, and maybe
Speaker 1: it's somebody on another floor or what have you. Hi,
Speaker 1: how are you it's warm outside? Oh my gosh, that
Speaker 1: coffee looks good. That kind of stuff, right, And if
Speaker 1: you don't want to engage in that, they say, try asking,
Speaker 1: like you said this magical question. And then I'm looking
Speaker 1: at these magical questions they speak of, and I would
Speaker 1: think you were an insane person if you asked me
Speaker 1: this in a small talk situation. Right, When you think
Speaker 1: of small talk, you think it's kind of like passing by,
Speaker 1: maybe sharing some time. Maybe you're I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think because when I read this, I thought of
Speaker 2: somebody who asks a question and then does that thing
Speaker 2: where they lean in and just stare at you for
Speaker 2: a while after do they ask a question, for example,
Speaker 2: some of the magical What she says, what makes them
Speaker 2: magical questions is it's something that everyone in the group
Speaker 2: is interested in answering or or would have an answer
Speaker 2: to that other people might find interesting. For example, what's
Speaker 2: the weirdest thing you've ever found in your pocket?
Speaker 1: How are you supposed to remember that? I've found a
Speaker 1: lot of weird stuff in my pocket. I'm sure over
Speaker 1: the years, I don't remember it. It's not something that
Speaker 1: would have stuck in my head. What about a baby
Speaker 1: tooth or something?
Speaker 4: What about this?
Speaker 2: What topic could you give a twenty minute talk on
Speaker 2: with no preparation?
Speaker 1: Oh, obviously, screwdrivers?
Speaker 4: What's a path you almost took but didn't? I really
Speaker 4: like that?
Speaker 1: What topic you could give a twenty minute talk on
Speaker 1: with no preparation? Like, that's a great question to ask
Speaker 1: of somebody else, somebody that you don't really know that well,
Speaker 1: because then you can find out about what they're passionate
Speaker 1: about right away.
Speaker 2: Well that's so, That's part of the reason she says
Speaker 2: these are also magical questions. Is it cuts through all
Speaker 2: of the where you're from, where'd you go to college?
Speaker 2: What kind of work do you do, yeah, and you
Speaker 2: find more about their actual personality, not just those other
Speaker 2: characteristics about them. For example, she says, one of her
Speaker 2: favorite questions is what was the first concert you went to?
Speaker 4: And who took you?
Speaker 2: Because a lot of times, I mean, depending on kind
Speaker 2: of what age range you're in, you're going to have
Speaker 2: a lot of the same.
Speaker 4: The same answers.
Speaker 2: Or you went to a concert that may have been
Speaker 2: someone else's first it wasn't necessarily yours, but there's a
Speaker 2: lot of crossover there, And then who they went with
Speaker 2: or who took you could also say a lot about
Speaker 2: their family life or their friend circle.
Speaker 1: Or can we do a magical question for tomorrow to
Speaker 1: ask of people and then they can let us know
Speaker 1: and we can go through them throughout the show on
Speaker 1: the talkback.
Speaker 2: You want to keep it, let's pencil that in for tomorrow. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they're going to ask them now? Or are you going
Speaker 2: to ask them tomorrow? Who should keep it?
Speaker 4: Or tomorrow? There would be a there will be a
Speaker 4: magical question till tomorrow. Yeah, and we'll go through the
Speaker 4: answers like a magical question. Friday.
Speaker 1: I kind of love that twenty minute talk on with
Speaker 1: no preparation, Like what do you what's your piccadillo?
Speaker 4: What would yours be?
Speaker 1: What could you talk about twenty minutes, just off the cuff,
Speaker 1: no preparation.
Speaker 2: It's the to clarify. Is it an honest talk like?
Speaker 1: Is it a talk about It doesn't need to be
Speaker 1: like just talking for two minutes talking about something that
Speaker 1: you could talk about, no problem, twenty minutes go we.
Speaker 2: Could I think you and I have a leg up
Speaker 2: on that kind of a question anyway, because that's kind
Speaker 2: of what we do right right.
Speaker 1: Obviously, no knowledge, it doesn't have to be factional.
Speaker 4: No truth.
Speaker 2: Okay, if I don't know, I don't know, really I
Speaker 2: talk about.
Speaker 4: I have no idea. Now I'm on the spot. I
Speaker 4: don't know.
Speaker 2: Really, Yeah, I think my wife would probably be able
Speaker 2: to answer for me, like she would go, you would
Speaker 2: obviously talk about something, and I'd well, of course I
Speaker 2: could do that. She probably have an answer for that
Speaker 2: better than I would. Huh maybe old bosses.
Speaker 4: It's not something. It's not a gripe hour. I'd be
Speaker 4: easy to fill twenty minutes, wouldn't it all right?
Speaker 1: Coming up next? Why are monkeys stealing other monkeys? What
Speaker 1: is going on? Is this a sign of the monkey.
Speaker 2: Apocalypse, strange science when we come back, and a tooth
Speaker 2: story by.
Speaker 4: The way, oh old teeth Great.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 2: President Trump met with Jerome Powell today. He met with
Speaker 2: the FED Reserve chair. They discussed the economy, but not
Speaker 2: Jerome Powell's outlook for the interest rates, at least according
Speaker 2: to the Fed. Powell told Trump that the Central Bank
Speaker 2: is going to make decisions about the short term interest
Speaker 2: rate it controls based solely on the careful, objective and
Speaker 2: non political analysis that it comes up with a big
Speaker 2: rally for stocks that began in Asia, running out of
Speaker 2: momentum today about we certainly don't know what's going to
Speaker 2: happen next. The US court blocked many a President Trump's tariffs.
Speaker 2: That did see some positive movement on markets across the
Speaker 2: world today, the DAL added double digit points. I mean,
Speaker 2: we're talking forty five, fifty sixty points. But we will
Speaker 2: see as we get into the last few minutes of
Speaker 2: trading here. And then an update out of the New
Speaker 2: York federal trial of Sean Ditty Combs, a former personal
Speaker 2: assistant testified that Didty sexually assaulted her through her into
Speaker 2: swimming pool, dumped a bucket of ice on her head,
Speaker 2: and slammed her arm into a door during an eight
Speaker 2: year tenure that she worked for him. She testified today
Speaker 2: at the sex trafficking trial under a pseudonym. She had
Speaker 2: alleged that he put his hand up her dress, forced
Speaker 2: her to perform sex acts, and climbed into bed to
Speaker 2: to have sex with her against her will. Touched on
Speaker 2: these allegations just briefly at the start of the testimony,
Speaker 2: and she'll probably talked about them in more detail as
Speaker 2: things continue throughout the day.
Speaker 1: Today, Well, we've got monkeys stealing another type of monkeys babies.
Speaker 4: It is a weird fat and.
Speaker 1: It's where we kick off strange science.
Speaker 5: It's like weird science, but strange monkeys.
Speaker 4: Okay, you know the dealing monkey.
Speaker 1: Capuchin monkeys, right, the little white faced devils.
Speaker 2: They're the ones that there was a capuchin sorry, capuchin
Speaker 2: monkey that appeared I think most famously in Indiana Jones.
Speaker 4: Yes, that was a capuchin.
Speaker 2: And there's also one in Righteous Gemstones, very popular in
Speaker 2: the pet store that I used to have in my
Speaker 2: town that I grew up in. They had a capuchin
Speaker 2: monkey in a cage.
Speaker 4: It was awful.
Speaker 1: Tell me more about this pet store. Did you frequent
Speaker 1: this pet store?
Speaker 2: I loved it. Yeah, because it was also a halloween store.
Speaker 2: So in the back there were the most terrifying full
Speaker 2: face masks and makeup and swords and gory stuff. And
Speaker 2: in the front you could buy a hamster ball.
Speaker 1: What a weird mashup a halloween store slash pet store
Speaker 1: it was. Was there also a Chinese restaurant next door?
Speaker 2: Uh? Was around the corner? Yes, there was one, but
Speaker 2: the capuchin monkey was up in a case. It wasn't
Speaker 2: for sale, but the capuchin monkey was up in the
Speaker 2: in the pedal up above the wall.
Speaker 4: What was his name? Remember what his name was? I
Speaker 4: don't remember. Did you talk to the monkey?
Speaker 2: No, because he would screech at you and he would
Speaker 2: slam the cage.
Speaker 4: I bet he was pissed. He was. It would scare you.
Speaker 1: Well, he was living in a halloween store.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: What was your favorite animal in the pet store? The
Speaker 1: capuchin monkey, even though I was terrified of him?
Speaker 2: Okay, because that thing got out very different for you
Speaker 2: taking my face off.
Speaker 1: Man, it was probably the most exotic animal there.
Speaker 4: Oh by far. Yeah, they have a lot of birds.
Speaker 2: There, birds, snakes, rabbits, hamsters, stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Well, the capuchin monkeys on a remote Panamanian island are
Speaker 1: abducting babies from howler monkeys. They are calling it a
Speaker 1: first of its kind trend. This is a wild population,
Speaker 1: unlike the cage capuchin that did not sing at your
Speaker 1: pet store in Petaluma circ. In nineteen seventy eight. The
Speaker 1: wild population living on Jicaron Island has been monitored with
Speaker 1: eighty six motion cameras to capture their sophisticated use of
Speaker 1: stone tools to crack open hard fruits and nuts and shellfish.
Speaker 4: It's remarkable if you see video of this.
Speaker 1: But five years into recording the footage they started this
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, a researcher noted that one of the
Speaker 1: young male capuchin monkeys with an infant monkey from another species.
Speaker 1: They had that monkey clinging to its back. Now, this
Speaker 1: capuchin monkey, nicknamed Joker, picked up at least four of
Speaker 1: these baby howler monkeys over four months, holding on to
Speaker 1: them for more than a week. This captivity would last. Now,
Speaker 1: at first, the researchers thought it was a case of
Speaker 1: just one individual monkey who maybe is a little odd
Speaker 1: a little different a kidnapper monkey.
Speaker 4: But then five months after they saw a.
Speaker 1: Joker with the other type of monkey, four other young
Speaker 1: male capuchins were found carrying around Hawler babies, and over
Speaker 1: fifteen months, this group of monkeys took in eleven Haler
Speaker 1: babies younger than four weeks old. It was like a
Speaker 1: prime night fad or fashion. According to researchers, weird and
Speaker 1: like every capuchin monkey needed this designer handbag, and it
Speaker 1: was the Haller monkey, like everyone else had one, so
Speaker 1: why wouldn't I have one?
Speaker 2: So they learned from other capuchin monkeys that that was
Speaker 2: the thing to do, right And then just there's no
Speaker 2: footage of the thefts either.
Speaker 1: So maybe it's the baby Fowler monkeys that are like,
Speaker 1: I like that capuchin monkey.
Speaker 4: Maybe I'll go live with him.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but they did prevent There is footage
Speaker 1: of the kapuchins preventing the Haller babies from escaping. It
Speaker 1: also shows heartbreakingly so the Hawler monkey parents searching and calling.
Speaker 4: For their babies. Oh that's awful.
Speaker 1: And then here's the worst part.
Speaker 4: Well, it gets better than that, you guys, it gets
Speaker 4: really bad. Should I just abort the story. You gotta
Speaker 4: move on. I don't do. They kill them.
Speaker 1: They die, They die from malnourishment because they're not getting
Speaker 1: the right they're not getting the mother's milk because remember
Speaker 1: it's the male monkeys that are abducting the babies, and
Speaker 1: the babies still need the mother's milk and they're not
Speaker 1: getting it from the haller mother. Milk monkey monkey mother.
Speaker 1: That's not funny. At least three howler monkey infants were
Speaker 1: being carried around even when they were dead.
Speaker 2: All right, well, let's do the old teeth stories. That
Speaker 2: is awful. You should be shamed of yourself.
Speaker 4: You should have. We've teased that story for like three
Speaker 4: days and it ended up being awful. I have an
Speaker 4: answer to your question about what his name was.
Speaker 2: The store was called the Pet Stop, Yeah, and the
Speaker 2: monkey was called Louie. Oh, so he's a famous it's
Speaker 2: a she that was That was the irony of the
Speaker 2: name Louis.
Speaker 1: But it was a female capuca named Louis.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And whatever happened to Louise, I'm sure Louis died well,
Speaker 2: I mean the internet. There was an article in an
Speaker 2: old San Francisco paper from twenty five years ago that
Speaker 2: described the store. Yeah, twenty five years ago, but the
Speaker 2: pet store was, I mean alive and running.
Speaker 1: I guess you could say they can live forty to
Speaker 1: fifty years in captivity. Louie could still be alive. No, well,
Speaker 1: how many years ago was that? Forty years ago when
Speaker 1: they wrote the article. The pet stop had been around
Speaker 1: for twenty six years, which far older than that. I
Speaker 1: don't know why it says that, because it was there
Speaker 1: as long as I was a kid, and it was
Speaker 1: just one monkey, so it's not like she was banging
Speaker 1: around with anyone and making baby.
Speaker 4: And even the.
Speaker 2: Owner at the owner of the store when the article
Speaker 2: was written, basically said, pets don't make great monkey. Sorry,
Speaker 2: monkeys don't make great pets.
Speaker 4: So kind of.
Speaker 2: Felt bad about Louis, and it took them took Louis
Speaker 2: out of the store, sorry, and kept her upstairs in
Speaker 2: a different cage so that she wasn't yelling and screaming
Speaker 2: at the customers.
Speaker 1: Think, oh, that's awful. That was a nice story that
Speaker 1: turned out bad too.
Speaker 4: All right, old crazy teeth. When we come back to
Speaker 4: Strange Science.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: We're going to do the show outside next week.
Speaker 4: I think that's the plan. It's exciting, that would be
Speaker 4: very fun.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's going to be hot, and you think I
Speaker 2: need to work on my basstand, which I think is funny.
Speaker 1: Well, there's a couple of reasons why you're going to
Speaker 1: Hawaii where you're going to be partially nude, and you
Speaker 1: have very fair skin, and so not only am I
Speaker 1: advocating for you to just spend like fifteen to twenty
Speaker 1: minutes out in the sun every day, like just you know,
Speaker 1: read the paper.
Speaker 4: You know, read.
Speaker 1: Play Candy Crush in the backyard. A lot of people
Speaker 1: read the paper on their phone if they read, but
Speaker 1: you're not. You know, you have a book somewhere, right.
Speaker 4: I do have a book. Say. All I'm saying is
Speaker 4: go outside in your backyard.
Speaker 1: It's beautiful for like fifteen minutes, just exposing your legs
Speaker 1: and maybe your torso to the sun. So that number one,
Speaker 1: you don't get sunburned when you start exposing yourself Willy
Speaker 1: nilly and Hawaii. And number two, so you don't scare
Speaker 1: off the townspeople with how white you are. It's for
Speaker 1: health and for accommodating the people of Hawaii.
Speaker 2: A bunch of members of my family, and I guarantee
Speaker 2: you I will not be the whitest person.
Speaker 1: I don't care about anyone else. I care about you.
Speaker 1: You are the problem that I have access to. And
Speaker 1: if we can prevent you from getting a disastrous sunburn
Speaker 1: right away, I think that that.
Speaker 4: Would be good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a day, well like ten minutes, three times
Speaker 1: a week. Okay, that's all just to protect yourself. Appreciate
Speaker 1: that fledge Watch. Did you know we're in fledge Watch?
Speaker 4: Is that a bird thing? It is?
Speaker 1: Amy King will tell you all about it. I kind
Speaker 1: of blacked out when she was in here the other
Speaker 1: day with the knowledge that she had of the nest?
Speaker 1: Can you run that back for me? So you were
Speaker 1: also affected by her knowledge?
Speaker 5: I was.
Speaker 4: I was stunned.
Speaker 5: I was.
Speaker 4: We went to her kind of like the.
Speaker 1: Conversation started with, Hey, Amy, what's going on.
Speaker 4: With the bird?
Speaker 2: Because the picture I saw looked like it was an
Speaker 2: empty nest like this right the eagles up and big
Speaker 2: Bear had taken off, which everybody's waiting for.
Speaker 1: It said something to the effect of they're still there
Speaker 1: there in the top deck, and that's when I blacked out.
Speaker 4: She called it the attic, the attic of the mess
Speaker 4: and the front porch that exists.
Speaker 2: Listen, when we got that far, I realized we were
Speaker 2: playing with something that we had no idea.
Speaker 4: It was like, oh, what does this little ball do?
Speaker 4: And it turns out.
Speaker 1: It's Medusa pops up right. I just started waiting, smiling
Speaker 1: to Amy. I was nodding, and I was just like, cool, cool, cool,
Speaker 1: cool cool. But apparently the fledge watch kicked off on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: It's similar to Pip Watch, where we watched closely for
Speaker 1: the chicks to work their way out of their egg shells.
Speaker 1: Remember there was a crack and then the pip and
Speaker 1: the whole bit. So these these fledglings could fly the coop,
Speaker 1: fly the nest anytime now. They say that fledglings from
Speaker 1: southern California, from this area specifically, have been spotted as
Speaker 1: far north as British Columbia, as far east as Yellowstone,
Speaker 1: as far south as Baja. So these little, these little birds,
Speaker 1: these little eaglets we've been watching, could go great distances.
Speaker 4: Any day now, and they may never come back.
Speaker 2: I mean literally empty nest for those for Shadow and
Speaker 2: Steve Shadow and.
Speaker 1: Jackie Steve why would you think Shadow Stevens the old
Speaker 1: radio guy. But I don't know why the baby's names
Speaker 1: are Sonny and Gizmo.
Speaker 2: Now you're pretending to know all of this stuff. Amy
Speaker 2: will see through your rear ruse. I know old teeth.
Speaker 2: To bring it back to old teeth. Scientists have said
Speaker 2: that the teeth that they have found for the colossal
Speaker 2: megalodon is that a dinosaur. It is prehistoric predator. They
Speaker 2: said it last lived about three point six million years ago.
Speaker 2: They said, not only was it hunting large marine mammals
Speaker 2: like whales. Hello, that's how big this megalodon was. I
Speaker 2: think it's a giant sharky thing. But a new study
Speaker 2: has found that instead, mineralized fossilized teeth show that the
Speaker 2: megalodon might have been an opportunistic feeder. This thing, they said,
Speaker 2: required about one hundred thousand calories a day.
Speaker 1: Like it's a dinosaur. Of course, it was an opportunistic feeder.
Speaker 1: You think it was waiting for cavir.
Speaker 2: Well, they said it probably did feed on the very
Speaker 2: large prey items obviously, but that's not available all the time,
Speaker 2: and it was flexible enough to feed on smaller animals
Speaker 2: to fulfill its dietary requirements, like it's snacked on a
Speaker 2: smaller creature. Sure, like we all do exactly well.
Speaker 1: Grab whatever's around if it's feeding times, especially.
Speaker 2: If you're on your way to meil one hundred thousand
Speaker 2: calories a day.
Speaker 4: I'm getting close. I don't know what it is is.
Speaker 1: We're very hungry, getting pretty close.
Speaker 4: Here comes.
Speaker 1: You are not hitting that grapefruit sized softball right over
Speaker 1: the middle of the plate.
Speaker 4: Hey, sometimes it's easier just to let it go and.
Speaker 1: Hope because I'm still not over the slight you shared
Speaker 1: at the start of the show.
Speaker 4: Which one would that be? I don't remember you don't.
Speaker 2: I complimented you when you walked in today. You get
Speaker 2: one that doesn't tide over for the rest of the day.
Speaker 1: You said, why are you dressed up? Are you going
Speaker 1: to set the building on fire? Was that a compliment?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: The dressed up part? Oh okay, okay. I don't remember
Speaker 1: what your slight was, but it was very creator. It hurt,
Speaker 1: it did, but I don't remember it. Those are the
Speaker 1: worst kind. John Cobalt Chow coming up.
Speaker 4: Next, see you tomorrow. Stay dry, everybody, blessings. You've been
Speaker 4: listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
