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: A little bit later this hour, there is a story
Speaker 2: that suggests that we're waiting too long to tell our
Speaker 2: kids about sex.
Speaker 3: Kids need to know a lot earlier. What's going on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll talk about that a little bit later
Speaker 2: this hour. The birds and the bees might be happening
Speaker 2: too late for kids, So you can always let us
Speaker 2: know on the talkback feature, what you did with your kids?
Speaker 2: When did you start even the broaching the subject?
Speaker 3: When did you do that? Don't you remember the Okay,
Speaker 3: if I want to say my son was seven.
Speaker 2: Whoa, that's nice and early, well, the super generic basics
Speaker 2: of it, and then over the course of a couple
Speaker 2: of years more and more specific. But I think it
Speaker 2: was I think he was yeah, wow, because we had
Speaker 2: a friend who's we had a friend who lost their baby,
Speaker 2: and it was it came up at dinner time. Maybe
Speaker 2: probably shouldn't have, I don't know, I mean, but we
Speaker 2: were talking about it, and that prompted the discussion of
Speaker 2: where did well, how did it get there in the
Speaker 2: first place?
Speaker 3: Oh? Really, how did the baby get there? So he
Speaker 3: asked that, oh yeah, wow, very curious kids.
Speaker 1: So over dinner, what what do you say to that
Speaker 1: as a seven year old version.
Speaker 2: Well, it was five, so it was you know, we
Speaker 2: had to tailor it for the lowest common denominator at
Speaker 2: that point. Little did we know that she would of
Speaker 2: course go on to be organic chemist. But the it
Speaker 2: was just very simple of she and her husband decided
Speaker 2: that they wanted to start a family, so.
Speaker 3: You can do things to do that and there and it.
Speaker 2: Was like a wink, wink, I'll have to follow up
Speaker 2: on this one after dinner. And that's when I went
Speaker 2: upstairs and was selling my son much more of the
Speaker 2: specific details about what goes into that. And I said, so,
Speaker 2: if there's any questions, you know your friends are going
Speaker 2: to talk about it, or you have questions, or you
Speaker 2: hear something you can always ask, don't worry about it.
Speaker 3: Chances are your friends are wrong about it. But I'll
Speaker 3: tell you the truth, no, no holds barred.
Speaker 2: And that's when he looked at me and he goes,
Speaker 2: does this look like a hobo to you? Because he
Speaker 2: was playing with legos the entire time and was trying
Speaker 2: to make a homeless person out of legos.
Speaker 3: Oh so cute, and.
Speaker 2: It didn't it didn't look anything like a hobo. He
Speaker 2: needed to add the little stick with the you know,
Speaker 2: the pouch on.
Speaker 1: The So I miss a good hobo back when they
Speaker 1: really lived off the like living off the land, but living.
Speaker 2: Off the street. It's time for swamplash.
Speaker 3: When I'm not kissing, I join you. The other side
Speaker 3: never quits.
Speaker 4: So what, I'm not going anywhere so.
Speaker 5: That you rain the swat.
Speaker 3: I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by
Speaker 3: what has been. You know, Americans have always been going
Speaker 3: at present. They're not stupid.
Speaker 2: A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 3: Have the people voted for you? With nas swap? Watch
Speaker 3: they're all counternolled, all right.
Speaker 1: Pete haig Seth remains the headline coming out of Washington.
Speaker 1: Does the White House want to get rid of him
Speaker 1: or not?
Speaker 3: It depends on who you ask.
Speaker 1: Pete Haig Seth was lambasted yesterday in the media for
Speaker 1: having that second signal chat on the app about the
Speaker 1: hoothy plans. Apparently this one was with his lawyer, his brother,
Speaker 1: and his wife. Two of those people work for the
Speaker 1: Department of the Defense. This was not classified information. But
Speaker 1: he had to put his hackles up once again, and
Speaker 1: he had to do so at the Easter egg roll
Speaker 1: at the White House. Didn't come off great, And today
Speaker 1: came the boobs and the people that want him out,
Speaker 1: and now the rumor has hit the Oval with the
Speaker 1: story being that Trump's figuring out a way to get.
Speaker 3: Rid of them.
Speaker 2: He has said that he remains dedicated to Pete Eggseth.
Speaker 2: The White House Press Secretary of Caroline Levett last hour
Speaker 2: said as much, so we'll see where it goes now.
Speaker 2: Harvard University is suing the administration in federal court, the
Speaker 2: latest move in this feud between Harvard and the Trump administration.
Speaker 2: They trying they are trying to block the Trump administration
Speaker 2: from withholding federal funding, they said as leverage to gain
Speaker 2: control of academic decision making at Harvard. The president of Harvard,
Speaker 2: Alan Gerber, said in a message that the administration's actions
Speaker 2: are unlawful and beyond the government's authority. Another quick just
Speaker 2: an update on the Supreme Court. They were hearing arguments
Speaker 2: today about whether parents of public school kids have a
Speaker 2: constitutional right to opt out their kids from classroom lessons
Speaker 2: if those classroom lessons rely on textbooks or storybooks that
Speaker 2: feature LGBTQ themes or characters, not to take them out
Speaker 2: of school, and not even to change the curriculum, but
Speaker 2: just to opt their kids out of those specific lessons.
Speaker 3: They heard arguments about that case. Today.
Speaker 1: Well, there are a lot of layoffs going on in
Speaker 1: the federal agencies, and the Department of Transportation has come
Speaker 1: up with a sav maybe so to speak, for its
Speaker 1: employees that are getting the acts the You said there
Speaker 1: were layoffs, right, not playoffs. Oh, this isn't hockey we're
Speaker 1: talking about. Hockey is still going on with playoffs, right.
Speaker 1: Playoffs last for about six months in the hockey season.
Speaker 1: Basketball as well, there you go for another two months.
Speaker 3: Cool.
Speaker 1: I don't get that, but okay, that for them. So
Speaker 1: the Department of Transportation is offering this new career Transition
Speaker 1: Learning series is what they're calling it. It's intended to
Speaker 1: help guide employees through the transition from the federal sector
Speaker 1: to alternate industries. It's offering tips on personal branding, managing emotions.
Speaker 1: As you can imagine, this is not going over Well,
Speaker 1: we'll tell you details. It's kind of like when your
Speaker 1: girlfriend or your boyfriend breaks up with you and then
Speaker 1: they give you tips on how to deal with it.
Speaker 1: It's pretty much what it sounds like, and it's pretty
Speaker 1: much getting received that way.
Speaker 3: We'll get into it when we come back.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Okay, So, just briefly, the Department of Transportation trying to
Speaker 1: help the employees that it's acting by giving them career
Speaker 1: transition learning studies elevating your personal brand. You will learn
Speaker 1: how to navigate your strong emotions that you feel when
Speaker 1: you get I don't know, fired, skills that will focus
Speaker 1: on coping with downsizing and job loss. The overview is
Speaker 1: billed as an opportunity to recognize emotional cues and to
Speaker 1: incorporate strategies to manage and prevent strong reactions.
Speaker 2: Because prevent the emotional outbursts is key to a productive.
Speaker 1: They're basically telling all of the people that they fired,
Speaker 1: calm down.
Speaker 2: Which is weird because it almost seems like those people
Speaker 2: to oversimplify. People who are losing their jobs in the
Speaker 2: federal government right now are people who have in many
Speaker 2: cases become very soft and this would be something that
Speaker 2: they would like to see, is they would like somebody
Speaker 2: to come alongside them and help them manage their emotions,
Speaker 2: deal with the transition, etc. But one person says, it
Speaker 2: feels like it's intended to tell us we're being dramatic,
Speaker 2: or that we're not professional enough to go through turmoil
Speaker 2: and remain detached and completely calm.
Speaker 3: It feels out it's scare acle.
Speaker 2: That person spoke anonymously to Politico, gave the example of
Speaker 2: when the new Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy showed up in
Speaker 2: the office and announced a dress code as soon as
Speaker 2: he got there. When everyone knows how to dress for
Speaker 2: the office, and there's no need to tell a professional
Speaker 2: workforce how to dress.
Speaker 3: Well, then why would he say. If there's no.
Speaker 2: Indication that that's necessary, then why do you think he
Speaker 2: would say something like that?
Speaker 3: Hmmm?
Speaker 2: He said, it's ham handed if it's not deliberately to
Speaker 2: scare people. Agencies have been given directives to severely cut
Speaker 2: their workforce through layoffs or reductions in force, The DOT
Speaker 2: has not yet done their widespread life.
Speaker 1: Just like I would imagine, I don't want to send
Speaker 1: my kids to school for them to learn about sex
Speaker 1: and gender options. I don't want to go work at
Speaker 1: the Transportation Department and then tell me how to manage
Speaker 1: my emotions. No, I'm here to do paperwork at tedious whatever,
Speaker 1: monot mix the roads. I'm here to.
Speaker 3: Do a job.
Speaker 1: You know, the kids are there to learn to read
Speaker 1: and to do math, and I'm here to do my job.
Speaker 1: Let's leave our emotional stability out of it.
Speaker 3: It's hard to save money.
Speaker 2: California is a difficult place to live, just in terms
Speaker 2: of the cost of living.
Speaker 4: Hey, Garyan Trennon is Leapa from Orange County. Just getting
Speaker 4: on the topic about things being cheaper somewhere else, Me
Speaker 4: and my wife all three take a trip to Houston
Speaker 4: to go see Christapleton over there with our hotel or
Speaker 4: fly and our tickets are still cheaper than getting tickets
Speaker 4: just tickets for two of us, my wife and I
Speaker 4: at the Hollywood Bowl.
Speaker 3: Go figure. Yeah, I did the same trip.
Speaker 2: I mean I didn't do it in Houston, and it
Speaker 2: wasn't Chris Stapleton but Nashville, Mumford and Sons.
Speaker 3: Several years ago.
Speaker 2: It cost as much to fly my wife and I
Speaker 2: to Nashville for a few days see that concert that
Speaker 2: it would be to watch that same show here in LA.
Speaker 1: I've heard this story countless times from friends that they're
Speaker 1: they're traveling to go see concerts. And I've noticed this
Speaker 1: for football for years. Back when I used to fly
Speaker 1: for the forty nine Ers before working for the Chargers
Speaker 1: is we would pick games to go to me and
Speaker 1: my girlfriends, and all of them were cheaper options than
Speaker 1: going up to the Bay Area to watch a home game.
Speaker 1: It was cheaper to go to Chicago or really anywhere else.
Speaker 1: The flight, the ticket, the food, the hotel, everything so
Speaker 1: much cheaper.
Speaker 2: There's a new survey that came out conducted by Talker Research,
Speaker 2: commissioned by the consumer banking app called Current, asked a
Speaker 2: couple thousand Americans across different generations a survey. This survey
Speaker 2: show that sixty seven percent of us feel like we're
Speaker 2: lagging behind when it comes to savings targets, whether it's
Speaker 2: you have short term goals like you can buy a car,
Speaker 2: house or something like that, or long term goals like retirement.
Speaker 2: And of the sixty seven percent who feel like they're
Speaker 2: lagging behind, forty seven percent have completely given up hope
Speaker 2: when it comes to saving, believing that they're never going
Speaker 2: to see their financial milestones that they have set for themselves.
Speaker 2: Since January of twenty five, sixty three percent of those
Speaker 2: with savings accounts have drawn withdrawn money, not a giant surprise,
Speaker 2: but they said that twenty percent, about one in five,
Speaker 2: have made five or more withdrawals, and not for things
Speaker 2: like vacations or shopping sprees or those milestones that they
Speaker 2: want to meet. They said they're using their savings to
Speaker 2: cover basics and emergencies. When they're taking money out. Unexpected
Speaker 2: expenses top the list. Every day necessities they wouldn't otherwise
Speaker 2: be able to afford. Emergencies are on there. And then
Speaker 2: housing payments like rent or mortgage, And they said only
Speaker 2: eighteen percent fewer than one in five report using their
Speaker 2: savings for something that they were actually saving. Four that
Speaker 2: savings accounts have shifted into sort of the emergency bucket
Speaker 2: of emergency money that you dip into as opposed to
Speaker 2: having plans for it down the road.
Speaker 1: Does it get into what percentage of people have savings.
Speaker 2: Well, it says that most people do have savings, period, But.
Speaker 3: What does that mean like fifty bucks?
Speaker 1: It could be okay, I mean, but I mean there's
Speaker 1: been times when that has been my savings.
Speaker 3: If you have a.
Speaker 2: Couple of if you have a couple bank accounts. I
Speaker 2: was always told my parents always encouraged me to get
Speaker 2: two bank accounts. One that was hide it, that was
Speaker 2: one of them. Of one of them was get a
Speaker 2: fake name. I'll see that no one knows about. No
Speaker 2: one was so that if you use you have a
Speaker 2: constant way to sock away money somewhere. Don't just put
Speaker 2: fifty bucks into sock drawer every month or wherever you
Speaker 2: put it to actually have a savings like.
Speaker 3: A savings account and a checking account, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the checking account is the one that you do.
Speaker 2: You know, you set your budget by you do that.
Speaker 2: That's how you spend. That's the one that you use
Speaker 2: to get the cash out if you need, you know,
Speaker 2: spending money for whatever it is. But that you've got
Speaker 2: something that's always I mean to kind of use this
Speaker 2: the terminology they were using as the emergency bucket if
Speaker 2: I ever needed it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then eventually after a couple of years, you realize, oh,
Speaker 2: I do have some.
Speaker 3: Money in there.
Speaker 2: I can make a down payment, or I can get
Speaker 2: that car that I was looking for or something like that.
Speaker 3: But that was always their their words to me about.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, my dad was very big on the whole
Speaker 1: savings account thing.
Speaker 2: All right, so we're going to come back. We're going
Speaker 2: to talk a little bit more about the pope stuff that.
Speaker 1: You're so well versed on the pope. Accouter Ma, I
Speaker 1: can't wait for you to tell us about the.
Speaker 3: Oh okay. Also, are we doing this today by the
Speaker 3: grandparents and the screen times we could? Yeah, we could
Speaker 3: do that. That's very sad. That makes me very sad.
Speaker 1: The headline is this, sadly half of kids time with
Speaker 1: grandparents now spent on screens. Oh like some of my
Speaker 1: favorite childhood memories my grandparents.
Speaker 3: They also didn't have screens back then. I mean you
Speaker 3: had TV, but barely barely. Yeah. You had the horse
Speaker 3: and buggy trips that you got to take with yours. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we did the there were no roads where you were going.
Speaker 2: My my dad was Doc Brown or my grandpa was
Speaker 2: Doc Brown.
Speaker 3: Taking me back to the future. I paved roads.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: An earth day, my sister's birthday. Oh what have you called?
Speaker 3: I did not call.
Speaker 2: I texted this morning she was I don't know what
Speaker 2: time she got up, so I don't what an awful
Speaker 2: thing to have been called. My mother used to do
Speaker 2: that on a regular basis. She wanted to be the
Speaker 2: first one to call, so at approximately six 't ten
Speaker 2: on your birthday, she will call you and wake you
Speaker 2: out of a deep, deep slumber just to say happy.
Speaker 1: I love that, I love I do. My mother does
Speaker 1: the same thing. She calls me early. In fact, when
Speaker 1: people call me after noon, I kind of they're dead
Speaker 1: to me. You got to get it in before noon
Speaker 1: or else.
Speaker 3: I guess I'm not in port don't count.
Speaker 2: Podcaster former Fox News host Steve Hilton is going to
Speaker 2: be running for governor here in California. He announces Canada
Speaker 2: see Yesterday, launches it today with a big rally in
Speaker 2: Huntington Beach. His basic message, California is failing and the
Speaker 2: super majority of Democrats we've had in the state.
Speaker 3: Is to blame.
Speaker 2: And he said, now it's sort of a unique opportunity
Speaker 2: for us to change the trajectory.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let this Shannon Sharp situation play out without
Speaker 1: jumping into the muddy waters here. It seems kind of
Speaker 1: it seems it seems gross, It seems gratuitous, and I
Speaker 1: don't like any part of it.
Speaker 3: So I just don't even want to give it any
Speaker 3: more oxygen.
Speaker 1: But a woman that he had a relationship with is
Speaker 1: suing for a lot of money because she's alleging bad things,
Speaker 1: and he has yet to defend himself other than this
Speaker 1: is not what happened.
Speaker 3: Apparently that's going to come this afternoon.
Speaker 2: One of the things that happens when the pope dies
Speaker 2: is they smash his ring.
Speaker 3: It'll signet fisherman ring.
Speaker 1: Right, So the fisherman's ring is really among the most
Speaker 1: recognizable items of papal regalia. Of course, it was named
Speaker 1: after Saint Peter, who was a fisherman and the first Pope.
Speaker 1: It was worn by Pope Francis to ceremonial events throughout
Speaker 1: his potpourri. I don't know that came up with that.
Speaker 1: It was stupid rain rain. Sure is twelve year people.
Speaker 1: Oh that's good, you should.
Speaker 3: Do something with that. Yeah, conclave too, yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 3: just something to think about, time to refresh.
Speaker 1: Just spitballing a couple fresh right, yeah, countless devoters kissed
Speaker 1: it to votees kissed it. It sparked a controversy over hygiene,
Speaker 1: because of course it did. But now, as tradition dictates,
Speaker 1: this signet ring will be destroyed within the walls of
Speaker 1: the Vatican following the death. There are practical routes that
Speaker 1: go along with this ritual. The fisherman's ring and a
Speaker 1: pendant called the bullah traditionally served as official seals for
Speaker 1: official letters and documents known as papal briefs. The new
Speaker 1: ones were issued to each incoming pope and to prevent
Speaker 1: letters or decrees being forged posthumously, both would be smashed
Speaker 1: with a hammer upon his death, and between fifteen twenty
Speaker 1: one until twenty thirteen, this is exactly what happened.
Speaker 2: You know why they didn't do it in twenty thirteen. No,
Speaker 2: because Benedict resigned, he didn't die. They did take his ring,
Speaker 2: but instead it was simply defaced by chopping a cross
Speaker 2: into it with a chisel.
Speaker 3: They didn't actually destroy it.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's unnecessary to destroy the ring. I
Speaker 1: understanding destroying the thing that you signed off letters and
Speaker 1: documents with your seal so that no one can use
Speaker 1: it again.
Speaker 2: Perhaps I think the ring would be used in a
Speaker 2: similar manner, though he would do this, He would.
Speaker 3: Go, Oh, is that right? That's pretty cool. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: I think that's why they did that.
Speaker 1: Did you ever see yourself being one of those guys
Speaker 1: that wears a chunky ring that's not your aura ring.
Speaker 2: I have a ring that I keep it a jewelry
Speaker 2: box that my brother in law gave to me when
Speaker 2: I was a senior in high school. Oh really yeah,
Speaker 2: he was a jeweler and he gave me a ring
Speaker 2: that it had a G on it and I had
Speaker 2: a big diamond on it. Oh cool, it's very cool.
Speaker 2: Big for me, Like I mean it physically, it was
Speaker 2: too big for my finger it fit. How does it
Speaker 2: fit now?
Speaker 3: It fits on one of my thumbs? Probably? Oh really? Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was is a big ring. You were fat fingered
Speaker 3: as a child, No, No, I didn't.
Speaker 2: I wasn't fat fingers, and I don't feel like my
Speaker 2: fingers have grown much.
Speaker 1: So somebody went to the jewelry shop to pawn their
Speaker 1: dead uncle's ring and it had a G on it,
Speaker 1: and he thought of you and was like, I'll.
Speaker 3: Give this to Gary. Sure, I took it. I like
Speaker 3: that guy had fat fingers. Whoever Uncle G was? Yeah,
Speaker 3: fat fingered Uncle G. That's cool. I like that, so
Speaker 3: I still have that.
Speaker 2: It's in my it's in my drawer and my little
Speaker 2: I don't if i'd call it a jewelry box. I
Speaker 2: have a box. That's the only piece of jewelry that's
Speaker 2: in there. No, I have a tie clip in there too.
Speaker 2: What Scottish terrier tie clip?
Speaker 3: I was going to say, is there significance to the
Speaker 3: tie clip? Friend, mine gave me a tie clip? Oh,
Speaker 3: your wife didn't give you that tie clip. I don't
Speaker 3: wear ties. Oh? Interesting? Why?
Speaker 2: Why is it interesting that I think exact words?
Speaker 1: Well, it's interesting because I don't think I've seen a
Speaker 1: tie clip for a long time. It's kind of one
Speaker 1: of those things that's that you don't see anymore.
Speaker 2: I think the last time I wore it was when
Speaker 2: I officiated a wedding. Yeah, I think I think that'd
Speaker 2: be the last time, because I didn't wear suits to
Speaker 2: my to my parents' funerals.
Speaker 3: Is Is it just.
Speaker 1: To hold it back if you're eating or something like
Speaker 1: so it doesn't slip into whatever.
Speaker 3: That's what it does.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that was the purpose of it originally,
Speaker 2: as opposed to being sort of a.
Speaker 3: Just a piece of jewelry. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I was rewatching Shawshank Redemption over the weekend as one does,
Speaker 1: as I do, and Morgan Freeman's there, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't want to ruin the ending, but he's trapes him
Speaker 1: through a field in a.
Speaker 3: Full suit and they do friends.
Speaker 1: And that's what you did. You wore a suit everywhere
Speaker 1: all the time. So that's why you needed a tie clip. Nowadays,
Speaker 1: you are a suit. It's an event. You're probably not
Speaker 1: going to be eat something happen. Yeah, something happened.
Speaker 2: If you're wearing a suit, something happened, right, Or some
Speaker 2: people wear them.
Speaker 3: To go to work, people with you know jobs, Yeah,
Speaker 3: that happens. This story.
Speaker 2: We'll get into this here for a second, and we'll
Speaker 2: get into the grandpa stuff in a moment.
Speaker 3: Grandpa and grandma.
Speaker 2: But the birds and the bees talk might be happening
Speaker 2: a little too late for many a kid's a new
Speaker 2: poll from the Michigan Health Mott Children's Hospital on Children's Health.
Speaker 2: The Poll on Children's Health said that early discussions about
Speaker 2: puberty can help parents present information appropriately for their child's
Speaker 2: age and prepare them for upcoming body changes, preventing unnecessary
Speaker 2: confusion or anxiety.
Speaker 3: My parents never did that.
Speaker 2: We had the sex ed talk in school that we
Speaker 2: could opt in or opt out of, but my parents
Speaker 2: never sat me down and said anything about any of.
Speaker 3: That, saying, say, my mom taught sex said.
Speaker 2: I was in college before the topic came up. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's a lot I did not know that. I still
Speaker 2: tell my mother about.
Speaker 3: You're to say that you still don't know. I'm like,
Speaker 3: you never told me this, she I mean, my mom.
Speaker 1: Was the person who came into my Catholic school and
Speaker 1: taught the priest taught the boys, because that makes freaking sense.
Speaker 1: And my mother came in and taught through through like sixth,
Speaker 1: seventh and eighth grade. The girls in my in my class, did.
Speaker 2: They do it once a year? I mean, yeah, it
Speaker 2: wasn't just a one time and she was.
Speaker 3: Great at it. But there was stuff she left out. Well,
Speaker 3: there's stuff that's that that that you know you don't learn.
Speaker 2: Well, let us know what it is that you have
Speaker 2: told your kids, or when did you even start.
Speaker 3: Or how did it even come up. Everybody's got fun
Speaker 3: stories about how it even came up. I will do that.
Speaker 1: You don't need to do a how to manual, but
Speaker 1: just a know of the science parts of it.
Speaker 2: And listen, some of it is better discovered on your own.
Speaker 2: I would say that sometimes sometimes sometimes that's and that's
Speaker 2: probably one of the difficult exercises when you're doing that
Speaker 2: is my wife and I have to figure out, well,
Speaker 2: how much do you say because there's stuff that's gross,
Speaker 2: and there's stuff that's funny, and then there's stuff that's exciting.
Speaker 3: And then they're like, which ones do you sell?
Speaker 1: Which I mean, there's there's some stuff like the rudimentary
Speaker 1: stuff you probably want to let them know.
Speaker 3: And then the others to choose your own.
Speaker 2: Adventures slot be like simple stuff interesting, you know the
Speaker 2: basics how it goes, but not like if you're on
Speaker 2: the street looking forward, how much should you bargain for
Speaker 2: this or for that?
Speaker 3: I mean that kind of stuff. You didn't teach us
Speaker 3: on how to get a hooker.
Speaker 2: I just figured that's one of those that's best left
Speaker 2: up to the adventure of the moment.
Speaker 1: Just give them a lot of compliments. No one have
Speaker 1: to pay implement to pay for it.
Speaker 3: Compliments. The compliments do not fly in Vegas. Is that
Speaker 3: what you're saying?
Speaker 1: No, I mean, if you compliment a woman enough you
Speaker 1: don't have to buy a hooker.
Speaker 3: That's the worst advice. Elmer's nodding because he knows I'm right.
Speaker 3: Gary and Shannon will continue in just a moment.
Speaker 2: Let us know on the talkback feature on the iHeart
Speaker 2: app what your sex talk with the kids was like.
Speaker 3: And we'll do that again next hour.
Speaker 5: You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Speaker 5: AM six forty.
Speaker 3: That's not a great example. That's not a great example. Well,
Speaker 3: I mean it's also a perfect example, but.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's Hey, we're talking about the economy,
Speaker 2: and you mentioned this a little earlier, but I saw
Speaker 2: another article about this today. Salon owners beauty professionals across
Speaker 2: the country have said they are seeing the red flag
Speaker 2: early warning signs about a downturn in the economy. Fewer
Speaker 2: trips to the salon, trips to the song. They said,
Speaker 2: a trip to the salon one of the one of
Speaker 2: the first discretionary purchases to go. They don't entirely stop
Speaker 2: getting their hair cut, for example, but they may just
Speaker 2: go get their hair cut and not coloring style, maybe
Speaker 2: not the highlights, or they stretch the time out between appointments.
Speaker 2: They start doing some of their beauty maintenance at home.
Speaker 1: I hope women don't don't stop getting those extensions, because
Speaker 1: where will we be as a people.
Speaker 3: You don't have extensions, No, God.
Speaker 1: If these were, if my hair was extensions, you should
Speaker 1: go get your mind.
Speaker 3: Yeah it's not. It's true.
Speaker 1: Hair is awful, But like, uh, you know, the the
Speaker 1: well the people, the extensions crowd can afford all of
Speaker 1: the care.
Speaker 3: Probably they are a different income bracket.
Speaker 2: Runways a lot longer, Yeah, before they have to probably
Speaker 2: before they have to pull up.
Speaker 3: A quick note.
Speaker 2: Kings blew that four goal lead before they hung on
Speaker 2: to beat the Edmundton Oilers six to five last night.
Speaker 2: Did you hear the national anthem that they did before
Speaker 2: the Kings game yesterday?
Speaker 3: Tell me mar.
Speaker 2: Harmonica's Harmonica's just like Andy duframe, This is the city
Speaker 2: of Angels, this is Los Angeles.
Speaker 3: Is a harmonica a Canadian thing?
Speaker 2: No? I mean they have harmonica's in Canadia, yes, but
Speaker 2: it's not a Canadian thing. And why would they use
Speaker 2: the Canadian instrument to play the American national It just
Speaker 2: sounded weird and I've never heard harmonicas do a national anthem.
Speaker 1: Well, it's it's out of the box. You know, it's
Speaker 1: something different. You gotta I like different. That's fun, right?
Speaker 2: Is that really powering up the crowd before a playoff
Speaker 2: hockey game?
Speaker 3: Though?
Speaker 1: That's a good point. Oh, No, hockey kinda brings its
Speaker 1: own juice, doesn't it.
Speaker 3: It does.
Speaker 1: It's kind of the only it doesn't. It's violent enough.
Speaker 1: There's enough testosterone on the ice. I think where you
Speaker 1: can do a harmonica situation pre game.
Speaker 2: I suppose a new study we're doing a lot of
Speaker 2: studies in this segment.
Speaker 3: Studying dong with these studies.
Speaker 2: Found this month that American children spend forty nine percent
Speaker 2: of their waking hours with grandparents. Now, if they're spending
Speaker 2: the weekend at grandma, grandpa's house or whatever, that's that's
Speaker 2: the terminology. They're using forty nine percent of their waking
Speaker 2: hours with grandparents engaged with digital media. Half the time
Speaker 2: their eyes are open with grandma and grandpa, they are
Speaker 2: looking at screen.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, in nineteen eighty five, you knew that
Speaker 1: it was a much slower pace with grandma and grandpa.
Speaker 1: Even back then, it's just a slower afternoon. It's a
Speaker 1: slower pace. And now the idea of a slower pace
Speaker 1: is exponentially slower, isn't it when you are constantly stimulated
Speaker 1: by your phone. Even a hanging out with your parents
Speaker 1: is a slower pace. But hanging with your grandparents, I
Speaker 1: mean that is glacial, and you don't realize that some
Speaker 1: of the great moments and the great bonding and all
Speaker 1: the good things and maybe some advice you get or
Speaker 1: just a tip on how to be come in those
Speaker 1: slow moments.
Speaker 2: Were some of the greatest memories that I have with
Speaker 2: my grandparents. My mom's parents lived longer than my dad's parents,
Speaker 2: and my mom's dad, Grandpa Dickerson, would just go out
Speaker 2: into the shop.
Speaker 3: That's what he did.
Speaker 2: There was constantly working on something or this engine or
Speaker 2: that car or something constantly. And it wasn't that he
Speaker 2: was a great conversationalist, but he always talked about what
Speaker 2: he was doing, and he would always point out, Now,
Speaker 2: the reason they called this one a crescent wrench is
Speaker 2: because of this, and the reason and they call this
Speaker 2: an adjustable wrench is because of this. And this is
Speaker 2: what needlenosed pliers are. Don't get those confused with the
Speaker 2: other needlenosed pliers that are long neck needlenose pliers. I
Speaker 2: mean constantly talked about what was going on with whatever
Speaker 2: he was fixing and learned. So, I mean, I don't
Speaker 2: know how much of it stuck, but learn so much
Speaker 2: of the basics of problem solving, mechanics, engines, all of
Speaker 2: that stuff from just sitting there and just being next
Speaker 2: to him. Not that he was going to ask me
Speaker 2: to do it, or you do it now. I fixed this,
Speaker 2: I tore apart this V six engine, you do it now.
Speaker 2: None of that stuff, but just the knowledge that he
Speaker 2: had that he would tell us, myself and my cousins.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just because.
Speaker 1: He had the time to tell you things like that.
Speaker 1: He wasn't your dad, who was probably you know, working
Speaker 1: and providing for a family and all the things. And
Speaker 1: it's grandparents have the time to to explain needle those.
Speaker 3: Fliers to you.
Speaker 2: And in many cases most cases it's not like you said,
Speaker 2: they're not busy with the everyday parenting issues.
Speaker 3: So if I went to go see Grandma on.
Speaker 2: Grandpa is because it was a special occasion, or if
Speaker 2: they came to our house, it was because my parents
Speaker 2: were on vacation, so they it was a more relaxed,
Speaker 2: right opportunity for that kind of stuff to happen. But
Speaker 2: the idea that that fifty percent basically of awaking hours
Speaker 2: spent with grandparents are now spent on TV or playing
Speaker 2: video games or scrolling through your apps. My wife has
Speaker 2: said multiple times she can't wait for grandkids like it's
Speaker 2: going to be. She loves babies and kids, she loves it.
Speaker 2: I the sadness I would feel if her grandkid wanted
Speaker 2: to look at a phone rather than play with, be
Speaker 2: with cook with, spend time with grandma heartbreak.
Speaker 3: I mean that would just be so it would sucks.
Speaker 1: Like you would slap that phone out of that kid's
Speaker 1: hands so quick?
Speaker 3: Are you kidding the phone for me to slap it
Speaker 3: out of his hand?
Speaker 1: It's just there would be a different set of rules
Speaker 1: a grandparents. And even even if are you gonna go
Speaker 1: by grandpa or are you gonna go by like like.
Speaker 3: Google bear big g old old g old G. I
Speaker 3: don't just say O G okay o g that's cool,
Speaker 3: that's cool.
Speaker 2: Stumble onto something there, taking that note, taking that note down.
Speaker 3: I want my great kids to.
Speaker 1: Throw me great gangstuff O G Gary on the grandpa.
Speaker 2: The study said that there's four main strategies that grandparents
Speaker 2: can use to manage their grandkids media consumption supervision, which
Speaker 2: is simply looking over their shoulder. Kids, Where does that
Speaker 2: restrictive mediation, which is to set firm rules? Okay, instructive
Speaker 2: mediation hit the kids. Kids co viewing, which is watching
Speaker 2: together only if it's a sporting event.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, my grandma and I watched a
Speaker 1: lot of forty nine er football together.
Speaker 3: My grandma and she would yell at the TV constantly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was the one who always kept score with
Speaker 2: a pad and the game she would score the game
Speaker 2: freaking dixick. And she didn't trust those guys. Why what
Speaker 2: times they get it wrong? Why would she? Howard Cosell
Speaker 2: was a mess, but.
Speaker 3: Only sporting events. I think I would watch with them.
Speaker 3: Those guys were drinking in the booth.
Speaker 2: I'm watching Valley or whatever the stupid show you guys
Speaker 2: are watching.
Speaker 3: Ranch Ransom, Can Ransom? Can you watch your freaking mouth?
Speaker 2: Even if I was taking my kid grandkid to a
Speaker 2: restaurant and they were used to having that stupid and
Speaker 2: I hate people who do it, and I don't care
Speaker 2: who's listening. I hate it when there's a kid on
Speaker 2: the phone at the table.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you oh, yeah, if you.
Speaker 2: Are going to take your kid to the table to
Speaker 2: a restaurant, teach them to behave in a restaurant without
Speaker 2: the giant big brain pacifier that is a stupid loud phone.
Speaker 3: My grandmam to engage with them.
Speaker 1: Anna May taught me how to gamble before before my
Speaker 1: dad did. And she would say, let's bet a dollar
Speaker 1: on the football game. And she'd say who are you
Speaker 1: going to take? And I'd say, and she'd say, I
Speaker 1: want to take the forty nine ers, just a straight bet,
Speaker 1: and I want to take the forty nine I should
Speaker 1: be like, okay, Shan, I'll let you take the forty
Speaker 1: nine ers. And this was the conversation we would have
Speaker 1: over and over again, and we always bet a dollar.
Speaker 1: I'd get the dollar whether the forty niners one or not.
Speaker 1: But she was a big Joe Montana person, so she
Speaker 1: taught you to lose, yeah and make a profit.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And did you ever have to put up the dollar?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Like, did she put up a dollar and you put
Speaker 2: up a dollar magically go oh look here's a dollar.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, you bet. She would say, Paw, get me
Speaker 3: a dollar, paw, and anime. Yeah, that's how it went.
Speaker 3: That's pretty great.
