Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio Line. Concerned citizens guys now reporting more
unexplained drone sidings. We talked about New Jersey, New York,
Now Southern California. Video taken by people in San Diego
and Riverside Counties show floating lights that move in ways
(00:22):
helicopters and planes cannot. Both the Riverside County Sheriff's Office
and Camp Pendleton announced they were not responsible for the incidents.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Is okay now? I feel like we're getting to a.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Point where now we're getting into drone hysteria and we're
going to be reporting every drone siding everywhere.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
And there are a lot of drones out there probably
any night.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
It's just that now people appear to be looking for it.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
The reason that we have our focus on New Jersey
specifically is because, as we were reported yesterday, between four
and one hundred and eighty sidings are happening every night,
which seems to be a lot, and.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
There are some particularly sensitive areas in New GM not
that I mean every state has, you know, militarily sensitive
areas but there are rsm out there that they're they're
keeping their eyes on. Hey, Gary, speaking of talking animals,
So I adopted a cat a little while ago, and
he talked a little bit and he told me.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
That he ran into Kevin at the shelter and he
said that Kevin mentioned that you have low T and
you're kind of a d D man.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
But that love the show. That would explain where the
story comes from.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
That it was my cat from twenty eight years ago
that was probably not still alive, right, just guessing, Yeah,
God rest Kevin's soul.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Yeah, Hey, Gary and Shannon love your show. I just
heard you using this low te word. And yes, I
know what it means, I believe it or not. But
I'm just wondering is that.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
A thing now? Like I try to stay up to
date that you.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Know, there's the brauh and the sus and the I
don't know, the sigma whatever words everybody uses the cool
people alpha because.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
You're cool people.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
So are we now using low t e a guy
of not showing, you know, real masculinity.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
I think that's a new thing.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I'm trying to stay up to date.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
I think that's a Shannon Hoffman special.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
My house.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
It's a thing.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
That's a thing.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
She uses that a lot on you. Huh, Well, she.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Uses it to needle me. I don't know if she
thinks that.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I you ever put on something what does that mean?
Like a shirt and she looks at you and goes.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Low t like she sees me with my clothes off
and says though.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
No, no, no, no no no, Like you get a
new shirt or something and you put it on.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Criticized it, Let me see.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
But she probably she.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Probably buys your clothes or picks them out sometimes.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
Do you dress yourself?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I did today? Obviously we're enough. Yeah, in a baseball cap.
That would be a good She may start doing that
you've given her.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Doesn't happen often though she doesn't say it like every day.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
No, like once a week.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I don't even think that much.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
Okay, good? But does she ever look at you and
go hi, tea? I don't want to know. Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Anyway, the former wife of that doctor who was killed.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Or no.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Outside that Woodland clinic will excuse me, Woodland Hills Clinic.
This was that addiction doctor and we were speculating that
maybe it was somebody that he had treated in the past. No,
looks like it's the wife that ordered a hit on
her husband. Turns out she was not the grieving widow
that she was pretending to be after he was shot
(03:32):
and killed.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, I guess you know that.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
She was there in September hosting the memorial for her
ex husband. But police announced yesterday that they arrested her
and two other people now in connection with the killing
of the former spouse. They all faced murder charges on
top of the two that we mentioned yesterday.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Not a very smart woman, seeing that for the past
fifteen years they had been in.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
An legal battle.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
This was her ex husband, and in these legal documents
it's well documented that each spouse had accused the other
of threatening murder. Apparently this happened to be a very
volatile relationship. Their finances appeared in court records to fluctuate wildly.
(04:21):
At one point they were doing well. They had an
asked in Martin Mercedes Benz, kids went to expensive private schools.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
And then things didn't go so well.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
They were accused of failing to pay legal bills, claimed
they had no money.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
They divorced in two thousand and nine, but litigation related
to their marital dissolution continued on and off through this
year fifteen.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Five year of these situations.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Oh could you imagine what a just a sucubus on
your life that would be?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
They both, like you said, They both claimed to be
in fear for their life. They thought over real estate,
thought over child support. At one point this year, the
doctor soon his former wife, saying that she fraudulently transferred
her ownership stakes and properties in order to evade paying
him hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
He had a restraining order against her because she was
it was a domestic violent situation. She was striking him
with both her fists in their home. That she would
follow him to work to the medical office. She would
block the exit. She said to him at one point,
if I had a knife, I would stab you to death.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
At least that sounds at least.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
That's what the doctor says. She says. In twenty sixteen,
as part of a protracted legal fight, she claimed that
the doctor had threatened to kill her while holding a
bloody hunting knife, and then he later threatened to kill
her with a knife and a gutten and also hunt
her down and kill her new partner.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
She says he threatened to kill me, to split me open,
to make me squeal.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Like a pig.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Hmm, what people say, I'm wondering if there are other
people that they hooked up with following their divorce.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Well, that's that's kind of what's weird about all of this,
these other suspects. I mean, we haven't really heard exactly
what the motive would have been or their specific involvement.
We'll see it when the court documents, you know, when
they're officially arraigned, et cetera. But wow, just that part
(06:20):
of it, you know, divorce, couple threats and that sort
of thing. That doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
But fifteen years of that, oh yeah, these things go
on forever, especially with these heated relationships. Listen, if you
meet a crazy person and they're a good time, don't
marry them. Have fun and then marry someone stable. That's
my life advice. Have your fun, but don't put a
ring on it, right right, all right?
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Lord? Because crazy kills, guys, crazy kills.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I think we dodged a bullet or they dodged a
bullet in Malibu. The fire that did start late Monday night,
the Franklin fire has been holding steady at just over
four thousand acres. They were able to cut even more
contain line, so as of this morning they said it's
at thirty percent containment. Still nine structures reported destroyed, including
four homes.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Have you heard of Sofia? She is a world renowned robot.
She's been the center of attention at an AI and
Innovation fare in Zimbabwe this week. She's been described as
an AI global icon by the UN. She can hold
human like conversations with people and recognize their gestures. As
(07:28):
a week long event at the University of Zimbabwe and
Sofia has answered questions on academic topics from researchers. Children
quizzed her about the Bible, God and her birth. She
also made clear her aversion to human food and romance.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
She sense it when I'm running away from her at
full speed.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
The UN Development programs that it brought Sofia to Zimbabwe
as part of efforts to inspire youth, policymakers and innovators
to embrace AI as a catalyst for development. Instagram rolled
out into AI feature as well. Stop I know, I
don't like it. It's a speeding bullet.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Apple keeps talking about their new iPhones or you know
they're going to integrate Siri with AI or Ai with Siri,
whichever order you want to put it in, and it
just is not That's not what we need. That's not
what we need. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has sustained
an injury.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
We don't know exactly what it was.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
She's on a trip overseas in Luxembourg to mark the
eightieth anniversary the Battle of the Bulge, but her office
said she sustained an injury during an official engagement and
was admitted to the hospital for evaluation. So we'll see
if we get more information about that. And then finally,
this health story is not good. We all obviously live
longer today than we did a century ago or centuries ago.
(08:53):
You know, the average lifespan is no longer thirty three
because you're dying of some sort of you know, common
cold or something. But a new study finds that people
may not be living well in those extra years. They
describe the difference between lifespan and health span, the difference
between how long you live lifespan and how many of
(09:13):
those years are spent in good health. They refer to
as health span, and they're saying now it has widened
to an average of nine point six years worldwide. We
don't do death. We don't do end of life very well.
And I don't just mean the hospice end of life,
like the absolute end. I mean the last couple of years.
You don't we treat things that can't be treated. We
(09:37):
you know, offer we offer drugs or treatments that would
prolong someone's life for a couple of months. Yeah, and
it's you know, both of us, You and I have
both had to deal with that kind of you know,
the it's not easy math to you know, to want
to figure out, but it is one of those things
(09:59):
that you think about.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Would you rather have quality of life?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Yeah, in those last couple of months or years or
whatever it is, as opposed to just having life.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
Well, now i'm god depressing moment holidays.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Well, I did start the hour with it's my dad's birthday,
but he's dead.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
That is true.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
You set, Okay, let's talk about the full Cold Moon,
shall we? They say the full Cold Moon will shine
in the middle of December, bringing a lively social energy
just in time for the holiday season. Celebrity astrologer. Do
you know this guy? Jacob Kyle Thomas.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
Is his name? No, you can hear the pain in
his voice.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Did you go like on a d eight years ago
with a girl who like just bombarded you with astrology
and that's why you have such an aversion towards it.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
No, I just think it's stupid.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
But where's the anger coming from? That's a good question,
classic Gemini, right. Kyle Thomas is known for his cosmic
guidance among celebrities, businesses, and online influencers. He spoke to
Good Morning America about the best ways to take advantage
of this engaging full moon.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Okay, the cold moon.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yes, it arrives on the fifteenth, so it will be
here on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
It gets its name because December is the month when
the weather typically turns cold.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Thank you NASA.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
No wonder, we don't know where those drones are coming from.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Old farmer's almanac, which we should have a copy of
here in the studio. Used says that Native Americans used
to call the cold moon the long night moon.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
We used to have an old farmer's almanac in Sacramento.
It was like stacks of them.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Why, I don't know, you know what from what I
remember they would have like today is the anniversary of
the Battle of the bulgers right right, but they said
the second name likely originates. The long night moon originates
from the fact the full moon in December occurs near
the winter solstice, which is obviously the longest night.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Of the year.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Again, thank you NASA.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
This year, the cold moon occurs as a full moon
in Gemini. Oh bo boom jacob iron that boom ticket.
It's an air sign associated with communication technology and short
distance travel.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
You don't have to talk down to us.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
We all know that it encourages mental connections, particularly with
those in our immediate circles. So we will be moved
to express our minds. We will be in the process
of launching significant writing, speaking, advertising, digital or a social
media project. The pace of life will quicken rapidly. This
(12:51):
is an ideal time to integrate communication into your rituals,
whether written or spoken. Great moment to communicate our desires
to the world as well as to others.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
For cancer, it's an opportunity for you to lie low
and give yourself some much needed TLC.
Speaker 6 (13:06):
I love that, I love lying low.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Hello bed for Capricorns, it's the full moon is making
me busier than ever. You may now be focused upon
an important project for your employer that must have final approval.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Let's see Keanu is a Sagittarius. Take a closer look
at your partnership, Sagittarius. The full moon will help you
grow closer with someone in business, collaboration or love. Ah
And Gemini, Jacob, are you listening?
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Not at all?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
You're not being a very good communicator. Part of communicating
is listening. Claim your spotlight, Gemini. The most important full
moon of the year has arrived for you as you
reach an important turning point. Uh oh, Something of vital
personal significance will reach its col nation at this time,
perhaps giving you closure that will improve your life going forward.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
What do you think that is?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Isa, eyes look glazed over In all honesty, I don't
know if you heard any I think we're running up
on a break and that he's concerned about the break time.
All right, that's fun. This has come up yet again.
And Martin Luther King High School in uh Out in
Riverside County? Is that Riverside? I believe it is a
(14:30):
girl Caitlyn competes on the cross country team until a
transfer student come in to take her place. Well, the
transfer student that came in to take her place on
the girls cross country.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Team has a penis.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Dad said he and other parents contacted the school about
it immediately. They were very tight lipped and quiet. They
understood our concerns and said they were working on putting
things in place for the kids' safety, but not much.
And Caitlyn said, obviously the idea of sharing a locker
room and a field with a penis or sorry, Dad,
it was concerning to Dad, as it should be. And
(15:09):
then the girl with the penis, called a boy, said
on Instagram, I hate a bee that could sit there
and undermine me as an athlete just because I'm trans.
And yes, I'm still pressed about this. Pressed apparently is
a thing to say I have an advantage because I
was born a boy. Should earn you a MF sock
(15:30):
to the face because what WTF do I look like?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
John Cena?
Speaker 3 (15:35):
And yes, when I transferred to girl's pole vault, which
I will be doing, I will be a top girl
because I'm a senior who's been doing this for two years.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I'm good. I'm not going to start from scratch now.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Is the key that this kid doesn't even understand, said,
I worked too hard to let people bully me into
competing with the boys. Competing with the boys, I was
always at the bottom made heights. Again, he's talking about
pole vaulting, so that advantage bs out the window.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Take it up with your mother.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
If you don't respect me as a female athlete, you
do not respect me as a female.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
You are one hundred percent right.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Yeah. And by the way, the girls have been wearing
shirts that say save girls' sports on them on the front.
If you wear one that says save girl sports, you're okay.
But the ones on the back that say x X
does not equal x Y or x y you know which,
they'll make you cover that one.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Up really good, lord, because the you're gonna make Somebody
compared it to wearing a swastika in front of a
Jewish student. Okay, yeah, very similar. Let me talk about pupfish,
all right?
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Can I just cleanse my palate with pupfish?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
In nineteen sixty seven, pupfish were labeled an endangered species,
one of the first in the United States.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
Not a lot all.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I'm low of thirty five fish in twenty thirteen, but
they've been higher recently. Scientists found one hundred and ninety
one pupfish in April, the highest count since nineteen ninety nine.
In September two hundred and twelve fish were swimming around
Devil's Hole. The earthquakes are said to be bad for pupfish.
(17:22):
The waves push the algae that grows on the limestone
shelf and small invertebrates that the fish eat deeper into
the cave, too deeper for the pupfish to access. But
because the pupfish have evolved to realize that earthquakes are
bad for them and that food goes away, they start
(17:42):
banging around to make more pupfish and make up for.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
That and whatever is.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
When that earthquake hit last week, the seven point zero
off the coast of northern California. About two minutes after
the earthquake, waves started making their way through Devilole.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
That's because the pupfish making the waves.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
No, no, no, it was the waves that then got
the pupfish into the mood.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Ah because they knew it was an earthquake and that
they were it was near and is near, So let's
make more babies. Let's squeeze these pupfish out.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know how long it.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Takes, let's find out. No reason not to know.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Wait, I'm asking how what's the gestation?
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Okay, I wasn't asking specifically how long making the pupfish takes.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I'll find that out too, No, not necessary.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Why it's nature Gary, seven to ten days, pupfish eggs
gestation seven to ten days.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
So we could be right now celebrating the birth of
earthquake pupfish.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
Pups fish. It's so grabbing sex.
Speaker 7 (18:48):
How long? Hmmm?
Speaker 3 (18:52):
How long?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Not long, It's probably pretty quick, Alner, Deborah.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Just so you know, there were earthquakes recorded in nine
different states today, nine different already today. California obviously we
get I mean, we get a bunch of them this
but wait, let me go through my list of minor
earthquakes Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Texas, Arkansas, Alaska, New Mexico, and
Washington State. And there has been a swarm of earthquakes
(19:23):
along the New Madrid fault in New Madrid, Missouri. It's
about one hundred and fifty mile long fault line. They're
saying the chances of a magnitude seven or higher is
increasing out there in the Missouri area.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Well, Arizona's not on that list, right, correct, You going
to Arizona?
Speaker 6 (19:42):
They may move to Sedona one day.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
The sex lasts from thirty minutes to two hours.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
For a pupfish.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Does he die right afterwards? Low Ti, I'm not saying that.
I'm just for a little wool of fish like that.
That's a lifetime of activity, you know.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I think that Let's see, during spawning, several males chase
a female until she's receptive. Oh so, so it's it's
it's a whole thing. It's the whole thing. So that
includes the first date, right, meeting the parents.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
All of that.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
You're gonna meet the parents, Well.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I don't know what a little bit fish work.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I think that you're probably gonna have the sexy time
before you meet the parents, right.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Ah, would you do it after you meet the parents?
Speaker 6 (20:34):
Well, not like the same day, that'd be weird.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Right?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Was twelve to six? Really the final score last night?
Twelve to six?
Speaker 6 (20:41):
Yeah? It was.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
It was raining that nobody could catch a ball. It
was field goal game. There were like seven puns in
the first quarter, first half of the first quarters.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Crazy glad I watched a movie.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
I mean, if you like defense, uh rain clearly one
of the linebackers on the forty nine ers sideline doesn't
like d defense because he just quit playing halfway through
the third quarter. Listen, it was so nice to see
Drake green Law back out there. I mean, what a
difference maker. There was a one tiny bright spot. It
was a bright spot. And then he was sore and
had to go out and his replacement refused to play.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
And why'd you suit up?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Give a guy another guy who wants to play a
chance to have a moment.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Well, ahold speaking a strong defense.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Tomorrow's Army Navy game is they may combine maybe for
three pass attempts. No guarantees on that though.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
Hey, Shannon, look up grumpy husband syndrome and it says
it's because of low tea.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
It's not a joke. My husband's eighty one.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
I bought him some tea pills and uh, he's a
little better, but boy did he get grumpy.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Yeah, and Garan, Shannon, I was just listening in about
the low tea And sorry, Gary, people use that on you.
My wife tells me that I'm a tea and she
wants to be knock tea with me.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
I love your show.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
That's cute.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
No it's not. I think that's my wife had said
that to me, I would say, you just made it lower.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
You don't like hot tea to get naughty? That's kind
of cute.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
No, no, that hurts my tummy.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Why do you hate love? She should love love.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
That is not what I hate.
Speaker 7 (22:24):
Guys. I noticed no women are calling in with their
height and weight. Chrissy Colorado five to nine one fifty. Nice,
trying to lose.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
A little weight, but in.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
The menopause, stay at it. So that's been difficult anyway,
you guys rock, I don't. Oh, I did have a
reason for calling, but the time's up.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
We cannot become a low t menopause show.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Okay like that.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
I see where this is going, and I.
Speaker 7 (22:58):
Don't like it.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
We're in the car round for excitement.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Five nine and one fifty. That's a good height weight.
I think you look beautiful. She's in What do you
get to.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
Say that word?
Speaker 4 (23:11):
She said it?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
She said she's trying to lose some weight, but she's
a metapause and it's hard, and I encourage her to
keep bad.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Would you want to say nothing? Is that better?
Speaker 6 (23:22):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Fine? Go karting. Julian and Alessandro were walking to the
starting line, trying not to look at each other. You know, yeah,
you've seen I've seen it, Talladega Nights. Sure, the rivalry
between drivers, or days of Thunder, Days.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Of Thunder, I mean, you know they're gonna make another one.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yeah, Nicole Kidman looks so beautiful in that picture in
the old. Now I say things like picture in the
old pictures of menopause and low te or you.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Could have said flick and she looked great in that flick.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
One hundred and sixty pound go karts is basically what
these kids race. Two boys were the star drivers in
baby Race. That's the team name among the favorites to
win the World Series of Karting. Now, they could work together,
but no, that's not what That's not what rival drivers do.
(24:17):
Alessandro and Julian have been fierce competitors since they were nine.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
And ten, and now they were eleven and twelve.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Lots and lots of races under their belts.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
At that point the rivalry had grown violent, culminating in
high speed crashes.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Formula One has obviously been and continues to grow in
terms of popularity huge hugely popular in other parts of
the world, not as popular in the United States, say
as NASCAR or some other races racing circuits, but F
one is internationally massive. We just saw another race last
(24:52):
month in Vegas, one of the F one races.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
There, every current F one driver started in a go kart.
This is the best way to tell if someone can drive,
even though they can't yet drive a car.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, And this is one of the things about this
is that this echoes what we see in other sports
are now that we didn't see twenty years ago.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
We're seeing scholarships to college go to kids who are
our ten and eleven and twelve when it comes to football.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Yeah, and in this case, Julian and Alessandro again eleven
and twelve years old, have stopped going to school full
time to focus on racing. They were originally too light
for the carts. You have to have with the cart
and the person the driver, you had to have a
certain weight. The mechanics had to add weights to the
(25:41):
chassis to keep them from flipping over.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Scouts representing Mercedes Ferrari they are tracking drivers now as
young as six years.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Old to become one of Formula one's twenty drivers. They
have ten teams, two cars each. It now requires a
commitment long before you can actually get a driver's license,
and by the time a driver makes it to Formula one,
parents sponsors, you're talking to the tune of millions of
dollars for their training and their racing.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Baby Race charges its drivers seventy five hundred dollars for
a four day race event, plus an entrance fee of
six hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
And this is what you would expect.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Julian's father owns a karting track in the northern part
of Italy. He's been able to get sponsors to sign
on to finance his son's career. The other kid, Alessandro
French American. His father started a string of tech companies
which brings him enough money that he could do whatever
he wants with it, and in this case, he's pouring
it into his son's F one career.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
He hopes, Ah, there's got to be some sort of
child aboose angle to this.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
As there is any kind of sport, like any kind
of fascination early training for any sport like this. Yeah,
you could make an argument that this is not in
the best interest of the kid.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
The two boys parents watched from opposite ends of the
track as they near the end of the fourth lap.
Julian's in second place. Alessandro is a few feet behind him.
Two cars rocketed toward the front, but Julian and another
driver made contact around a turn. Julian lost control as
cart went airborne. The announcer exclaims.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Huge crash.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Now, the names like that you know in F one currently,
like Schumacher and Hamilton, they started out as cart drivers.
As a matter of fact, Michael Schumacher, one of the
all time greats, won a race, a go kart race,
at the age of six in a vehicle that his
dad had put together with spare parts. Hamilton started racing
in his secondhand cart while his father was washing dishes
(27:42):
to pay for those races, and they said that's sport. Well,
what it was then is unrecognizable compared to what it
is today. And you see the same when it comes
to things like, I mean my experience in baseball or
soccer or something like that. When I was playing soccer
back when soccer was invented. When I was playing soccer,
(28:05):
not everybody had cleats. I mean we're playing with tennis
shoes and not everybody remembered to wear their team socks
that day or something, you know, simple like that. We
had baseball teams where the only piece of equipment that
you got was a shirt and maybe a hat, and
then your baseball pants were kind of up to up
to you.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
If you had them, you played with them.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
If not, you'd show up to practice in blue jeans
because that's what you were to school that day. But
if you think about that, hundreds of dollars that you
have to pay now for uniform fees to be a
member of a travel team baseball specifically, then you've got
your own helmet or two. You've got sunglasses, you've got
the high end batting gloves, you've got bats that can
(28:47):
be at least three hundred, four hundred dollars in some cases.
Think about that. But you're driving a vehicle. You're driving
a multi thousand dollars go kart for some team asked.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
What they would do if they fell short of f one.
Both of them laughed, the idea of being a driver
so inconceivable as to be ridiculous. By the way, they
did not win the race. Alessandro was a fourth. Julian
was thirty one or eighth of third. Eight came in
eighth of thirty one drivers.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
And there's no guarantees and in.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
A few months, they graduate to the junior category, assuming
there's enough money to pay for his next team.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
And then from the junior category these leagues, these feeder leagues,
you drive in what's called F three, which would be
I don't know, double a baseball. F three is the
next step after karting costs about a million point three
per year. That you've either got to bring you to
the table yourself or have sponsors that will do so.
The next step up F two is going to cost
(29:51):
you about two million dollars a year, and if you
don't have the budget, it's going to get tougher and
tougher to make it in that. But to even get
into that, even to get into this higher end karting world,
you have to show some promise, as like I said,
as early as six years old, just to get on
the radar of some of these companies and these sponsors.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
You can always hear us live on KFIAM six forty
nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday, and
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio AB
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio Line. Concerned citizens guys now reporting more
unexplained drone sidings. We talked about New Jersey, New York,
Now Southern California. Video taken by people in San Diego
and Riverside Counties show floating lights that move in ways
(00:22):
helicopters and planes cannot. Both the Riverside County Sheriff's Office
and Camp Pendleton announced they were not responsible for the incidents.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Is okay now? I feel like we're getting to a.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Point where now we're getting into drone hysteria and we're
going to be reporting every drone siding everywhere.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
And there are a lot of drones out there probably
any night.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
It's just that now people appear to be looking for it.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
The reason that we have our focus on New Jersey
specifically is because, as we were reported yesterday, between four
and one hundred and eighty sidings are happening every night,
which seems to be a lot, and.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
There are some particularly sensitive areas in New GM not
that I mean every state has, you know, militarily sensitive
areas but there are rsm out there that they're they're
keeping their eyes on. Hey, Gary, speaking of talking animals,
So I adopted a cat a little while ago, and
he talked a little bit and he told me.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
That he ran into Kevin at the shelter and he
said that Kevin mentioned that you have low T and
you're kind of a d D man.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
But that love the show. That would explain where the
story comes from.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
That it was my cat from twenty eight years ago
that was probably not still alive, right, just guessing, Yeah,
God rest Kevin's soul.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Yeah, Hey, Gary and Shannon love your show. I just
heard you using this low te word. And yes, I
know what it means, I believe it or not. But
I'm just wondering is that.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
A thing now? Like I try to stay up to
date that you.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
Know, there's the brauh and the sus and the I
don't know, the sigma whatever words everybody uses the cool
people alpha because.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
You're cool people.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
So are we now using low t e a guy
of not showing, you know, real masculinity.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
I think that's a new thing.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
I'm trying to stay up to date.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
I think that's a Shannon Hoffman special.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
My house.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
It's a thing.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
That's a thing.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
She uses that a lot on you. Huh, Well, she.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Uses it to needle me. I don't know if she
thinks that.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I you ever put on something what does that mean?
Like a shirt and she looks at you and goes.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Low t like she sees me with my clothes off
and says though.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
No, no, no, no no no, Like you get a
new shirt or something and you put it on.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Criticized it, Let me see.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
But she probably she.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Probably buys your clothes or picks them out sometimes.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
Do you dress yourself?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I did today? Obviously we're enough. Yeah, in a baseball cap.
That would be a good She may start doing that
you've given her.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Doesn't happen often though she doesn't say it like every day.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
No, like once a week.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I don't even think that much.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
Okay, good? But does she ever look at you and
go hi, tea? I don't want to know. Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Anyway, the former wife of that doctor who was killed.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Or no.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Outside that Woodland clinic will excuse me, Woodland Hills Clinic.
This was that addiction doctor and we were speculating that
maybe it was somebody that he had treated in the past. No,
looks like it's the wife that ordered a hit on
her husband. Turns out she was not the grieving widow
that she was pretending to be after he was shot
(03:32):
and killed.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, I guess you know that.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
She was there in September hosting the memorial for her
ex husband. But police announced yesterday that they arrested her
and two other people now in connection with the killing
of the former spouse. They all faced murder charges on
top of the two that we mentioned yesterday.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Not a very smart woman, seeing that for the past
fifteen years they had been in.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
An legal battle.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
This was her ex husband, and in these legal documents
it's well documented that each spouse had accused the other
of threatening murder. Apparently this happened to be a very
volatile relationship. Their finances appeared in court records to fluctuate wildly.
(04:21):
At one point they were doing well. They had an
asked in Martin Mercedes Benz, kids went to expensive private schools.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
And then things didn't go so well.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
They were accused of failing to pay legal bills, claimed
they had no money.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
They divorced in two thousand and nine, but litigation related
to their marital dissolution continued on and off through this
year fifteen.
Speaker 6 (04:45):
Five year of these situations.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Oh could you imagine what a just a sucubus on
your life that would be?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
They both, like you said, They both claimed to be
in fear for their life. They thought over real estate,
thought over child support. At one point this year, the
doctor soon his former wife, saying that she fraudulently transferred
her ownership stakes and properties in order to evade paying
him hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
He had a restraining order against her because she was
it was a domestic violent situation. She was striking him
with both her fists in their home. That she would
follow him to work to the medical office. She would
block the exit. She said to him at one point,
if I had a knife, I would stab you to death.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
At least that sounds at least.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
That's what the doctor says. She says. In twenty sixteen,
as part of a protracted legal fight, she claimed that
the doctor had threatened to kill her while holding a
bloody hunting knife, and then he later threatened to kill
her with a knife and a gutten and also hunt
her down and kill her new partner.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
She says he threatened to kill me, to split me open,
to make me squeal.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Like a pig.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Hmm, what people say, I'm wondering if there are other
people that they hooked up with following their divorce.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Well, that's that's kind of what's weird about all of this,
these other suspects. I mean, we haven't really heard exactly
what the motive would have been or their specific involvement.
We'll see it when the court documents, you know, when
they're officially arraigned, et cetera. But wow, just that part
(06:20):
of it, you know, divorce, couple threats and that sort
of thing. That doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
But fifteen years of that, oh yeah, these things go
on forever, especially with these heated relationships. Listen, if you
meet a crazy person and they're a good time, don't
marry them. Have fun and then marry someone stable. That's
my life advice. Have your fun, but don't put a
ring on it, right right, all right?
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Lord? Because crazy kills, guys, crazy kills.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I think we dodged a bullet or they dodged a
bullet in Malibu. The fire that did start late Monday night,
the Franklin fire has been holding steady at just over
four thousand acres. They were able to cut even more
contain line, so as of this morning they said it's
at thirty percent containment. Still nine structures reported destroyed, including
four homes.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Have you heard of Sofia? She is a world renowned robot.
She's been the center of attention at an AI and
Innovation fare in Zimbabwe this week. She's been described as
an AI global icon by the UN. She can hold
human like conversations with people and recognize their gestures. As
(07:28):
a week long event at the University of Zimbabwe and
Sofia has answered questions on academic topics from researchers. Children
quizzed her about the Bible, God and her birth. She
also made clear her aversion to human food and romance.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
She sense it when I'm running away from her at
full speed.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
The UN Development programs that it brought Sofia to Zimbabwe
as part of efforts to inspire youth, policymakers and innovators
to embrace AI as a catalyst for development. Instagram rolled
out into AI feature as well. Stop I know, I
don't like it. It's a speeding bullet.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Apple keeps talking about their new iPhones or you know
they're going to integrate Siri with AI or Ai with Siri,
whichever order you want to put it in, and it
just is not That's not what we need. That's not
what we need. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has sustained
an injury.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
We don't know exactly what it was.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
She's on a trip overseas in Luxembourg to mark the
eightieth anniversary the Battle of the Bulge, but her office
said she sustained an injury during an official engagement and
was admitted to the hospital for evaluation. So we'll see
if we get more information about that. And then finally,
this health story is not good. We all obviously live
longer today than we did a century ago or centuries ago.
(08:53):
You know, the average lifespan is no longer thirty three
because you're dying of some sort of you know, common
cold or something. But a new study finds that people
may not be living well in those extra years. They
describe the difference between lifespan and health span, the difference
between how long you live lifespan and how many of
(09:13):
those years are spent in good health. They refer to
as health span, and they're saying now it has widened
to an average of nine point six years worldwide. We
don't do death. We don't do end of life very well.
And I don't just mean the hospice end of life,
like the absolute end. I mean the last couple of years.
You don't we treat things that can't be treated. We
(09:37):
you know, offer we offer drugs or treatments that would
prolong someone's life for a couple of months. Yeah, and
it's you know, both of us, You and I have
both had to deal with that kind of you know,
the it's not easy math to you know, to want
to figure out, but it is one of those things
(09:59):
that you think about.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Would you rather have quality of life?
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Yeah, in those last couple of months or years or
whatever it is, as opposed to just having life.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
Well, now i'm god depressing moment holidays.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Well, I did start the hour with it's my dad's birthday,
but he's dead.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
That is true.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
You set, Okay, let's talk about the full Cold Moon,
shall we? They say the full Cold Moon will shine
in the middle of December, bringing a lively social energy
just in time for the holiday season. Celebrity astrologer. Do
you know this guy? Jacob Kyle Thomas.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
Is his name? No, you can hear the pain in
his voice.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Did you go like on a d eight years ago
with a girl who like just bombarded you with astrology
and that's why you have such an aversion towards it.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
No, I just think it's stupid.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
But where's the anger coming from? That's a good question,
classic Gemini, right. Kyle Thomas is known for his cosmic
guidance among celebrities, businesses, and online influencers. He spoke to
Good Morning America about the best ways to take advantage
of this engaging full moon.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Okay, the cold moon.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yes, it arrives on the fifteenth, so it will be
here on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
It gets its name because December is the month when
the weather typically turns cold.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Thank you NASA.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
No wonder, we don't know where those drones are coming from.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Old farmer's almanac, which we should have a copy of
here in the studio. Used says that Native Americans used
to call the cold moon the long night moon.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
We used to have an old farmer's almanac in Sacramento.
It was like stacks of them.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Why, I don't know, you know what from what I
remember they would have like today is the anniversary of
the Battle of the bulgers right right, but they said
the second name likely originates. The long night moon originates
from the fact the full moon in December occurs near
the winter solstice, which is obviously the longest night.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Of the year.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Again, thank you NASA.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
This year, the cold moon occurs as a full moon
in Gemini. Oh bo boom jacob iron that boom ticket.
It's an air sign associated with communication technology and short
distance travel.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
You don't have to talk down to us.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
We all know that it encourages mental connections, particularly with
those in our immediate circles. So we will be moved
to express our minds. We will be in the process
of launching significant writing, speaking, advertising, digital or a social
media project. The pace of life will quicken rapidly. This
(12:51):
is an ideal time to integrate communication into your rituals,
whether written or spoken. Great moment to communicate our desires
to the world as well as to others.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
For cancer, it's an opportunity for you to lie low
and give yourself some much needed TLC.
Speaker 6 (13:06):
I love that, I love lying low.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Hello bed for Capricorns, it's the full moon is making
me busier than ever. You may now be focused upon
an important project for your employer that must have final approval.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Let's see Keanu is a Sagittarius. Take a closer look
at your partnership, Sagittarius. The full moon will help you
grow closer with someone in business, collaboration or love. Ah
And Gemini, Jacob, are you listening?
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Not at all?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
You're not being a very good communicator. Part of communicating
is listening. Claim your spotlight, Gemini. The most important full
moon of the year has arrived for you as you
reach an important turning point. Uh oh, Something of vital
personal significance will reach its col nation at this time,
perhaps giving you closure that will improve your life going forward.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
What do you think that is?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Isa, eyes look glazed over In all honesty, I don't
know if you heard any I think we're running up
on a break and that he's concerned about the break time.
All right, that's fun. This has come up yet again.
And Martin Luther King High School in uh Out in
Riverside County? Is that Riverside? I believe it is a
(14:30):
girl Caitlyn competes on the cross country team until a
transfer student come in to take her place. Well, the
transfer student that came in to take her place on
the girls cross country.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Team has a penis.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Dad said he and other parents contacted the school about
it immediately. They were very tight lipped and quiet. They
understood our concerns and said they were working on putting
things in place for the kids' safety, but not much.
And Caitlyn said, obviously the idea of sharing a locker
room and a field with a penis or sorry, Dad,
it was concerning to Dad, as it should be. And
(15:09):
then the girl with the penis, called a boy, said
on Instagram, I hate a bee that could sit there
and undermine me as an athlete just because I'm trans.
And yes, I'm still pressed about this. Pressed apparently is
a thing to say I have an advantage because I
was born a boy. Should earn you a MF sock
(15:30):
to the face because what WTF do I look like?
Speaker 2 (15:34):
John Cena?
Speaker 3 (15:35):
And yes, when I transferred to girl's pole vault, which
I will be doing, I will be a top girl
because I'm a senior who's been doing this for two years.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
I'm good. I'm not going to start from scratch now.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Is the key that this kid doesn't even understand, said,
I worked too hard to let people bully me into
competing with the boys. Competing with the boys, I was
always at the bottom made heights. Again, he's talking about
pole vaulting, so that advantage bs out the window.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Take it up with your mother.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
If you don't respect me as a female athlete, you
do not respect me as a female.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
You are one hundred percent right.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Yeah. And by the way, the girls have been wearing
shirts that say save girls' sports on them on the front.
If you wear one that says save girl sports, you're okay.
But the ones on the back that say x X
does not equal x Y or x y you know which,
they'll make you cover that one.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Up really good, lord, because the you're gonna make Somebody
compared it to wearing a swastika in front of a
Jewish student. Okay, yeah, very similar. Let me talk about pupfish,
all right?
Speaker 6 (16:45):
Can I just cleanse my palate with pupfish?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
In nineteen sixty seven, pupfish were labeled an endangered species,
one of the first in the United States.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
Not a lot all.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
I'm low of thirty five fish in twenty thirteen, but
they've been higher recently. Scientists found one hundred and ninety
one pupfish in April, the highest count since nineteen ninety nine.
In September two hundred and twelve fish were swimming around
Devil's Hole. The earthquakes are said to be bad for pupfish.
(17:22):
The waves push the algae that grows on the limestone
shelf and small invertebrates that the fish eat deeper into
the cave, too deeper for the pupfish to access. But
because the pupfish have evolved to realize that earthquakes are
bad for them and that food goes away, they start
(17:42):
banging around to make more pupfish and make up for.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
That and whatever is.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
When that earthquake hit last week, the seven point zero
off the coast of northern California. About two minutes after
the earthquake, waves started making their way through Devilole.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
That's because the pupfish making the waves.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
No, no, no, it was the waves that then got
the pupfish into the mood.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Ah because they knew it was an earthquake and that
they were it was near and is near, So let's
make more babies. Let's squeeze these pupfish out.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Yeah, I mean, I don't know how long it.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Takes, let's find out. No reason not to know.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Wait, I'm asking how what's the gestation?
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Okay, I wasn't asking specifically how long making the pupfish takes.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I'll find that out too, No, not necessary.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Why it's nature Gary, seven to ten days, pupfish eggs
gestation seven to ten days.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
So we could be right now celebrating the birth of
earthquake pupfish.
Speaker 6 (18:45):
Pups fish. It's so grabbing sex.
Speaker 7 (18:48):
How long? Hmmm?
Speaker 3 (18:52):
How long?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Not long, It's probably pretty quick, Alner, Deborah.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Just so you know, there were earthquakes recorded in nine
different states today, nine different already today. California obviously we
get I mean, we get a bunch of them this
but wait, let me go through my list of minor
earthquakes Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Texas, Arkansas, Alaska, New Mexico, and
Washington State. And there has been a swarm of earthquakes
(19:23):
along the New Madrid fault in New Madrid, Missouri. It's
about one hundred and fifty mile long fault line. They're
saying the chances of a magnitude seven or higher is
increasing out there in the Missouri area.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Well, Arizona's not on that list, right, correct, You going
to Arizona?
Speaker 6 (19:42):
They may move to Sedona one day.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
The sex lasts from thirty minutes to two hours.
Speaker 6 (19:49):
For a pupfish.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Does he die right afterwards? Low Ti, I'm not saying that.
I'm just for a little wool of fish like that.
That's a lifetime of activity, you know.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
I think that Let's see, during spawning, several males chase
a female until she's receptive. Oh so, so it's it's
it's a whole thing. It's the whole thing. So that
includes the first date, right, meeting the parents.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
All of that.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
You're gonna meet the parents, Well.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I don't know what a little bit fish work.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I think that you're probably gonna have the sexy time
before you meet the parents, right.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Ah, would you do it after you meet the parents?
Speaker 6 (20:34):
Well, not like the same day, that'd be weird.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Right?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Was twelve to six? Really the final score last night?
Twelve to six?
Speaker 6 (20:41):
Yeah? It was.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
It was raining that nobody could catch a ball. It
was field goal game. There were like seven puns in
the first quarter, first half of the first quarters.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Crazy glad I watched a movie.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
I mean, if you like defense, uh rain clearly one
of the linebackers on the forty nine ers sideline doesn't
like d defense because he just quit playing halfway through
the third quarter. Listen, it was so nice to see
Drake green Law back out there. I mean, what a
difference maker. There was a one tiny bright spot. It
was a bright spot. And then he was sore and
had to go out and his replacement refused to play.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
And why'd you suit up?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Give a guy another guy who wants to play a
chance to have a moment.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Well, ahold speaking a strong defense.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Tomorrow's Army Navy game is they may combine maybe for
three pass attempts. No guarantees on that though.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
Hey, Shannon, look up grumpy husband syndrome and it says
it's because of low tea.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
It's not a joke. My husband's eighty one.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
I bought him some tea pills and uh, he's a
little better, but boy did he get grumpy.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Yeah, and Garan, Shannon, I was just listening in about
the low tea And sorry, Gary, people use that on you.
My wife tells me that I'm a tea and she
wants to be knock tea with me.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
I love your show.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
That's cute.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
No it's not. I think that's my wife had said
that to me, I would say, you just made it lower.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
You don't like hot tea to get naughty? That's kind
of cute.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
No, no, that hurts my tummy.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Why do you hate love? She should love love.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
That is not what I hate.
Speaker 7 (22:24):
Guys. I noticed no women are calling in with their
height and weight. Chrissy Colorado five to nine one fifty. Nice,
trying to lose.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
A little weight, but in.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
The menopause, stay at it. So that's been difficult anyway,
you guys rock, I don't. Oh, I did have a
reason for calling, but the time's up.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
We cannot become a low t menopause show.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Okay like that.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
I see where this is going, and I.
Speaker 7 (22:58):
Don't like it.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
We're in the car round for excitement.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Five nine and one fifty. That's a good height weight.
I think you look beautiful. She's in What do you
get to.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
Say that word?
Speaker 4 (23:11):
She said it?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
She said she's trying to lose some weight, but she's
a metapause and it's hard, and I encourage her to
keep bad.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Would you want to say nothing? Is that better?
Speaker 6 (23:22):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Fine? Go karting. Julian and Alessandro were walking to the
starting line, trying not to look at each other. You know, yeah,
you've seen I've seen it, Talladega Nights. Sure, the rivalry
between drivers, or days of Thunder, Days.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Of Thunder, I mean, you know they're gonna make another one.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yeah, Nicole Kidman looks so beautiful in that picture in
the old. Now I say things like picture in the
old pictures of menopause and low te or you.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Could have said flick and she looked great in that flick.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
One hundred and sixty pound go karts is basically what
these kids race. Two boys were the star drivers in
baby Race. That's the team name among the favorites to
win the World Series of Karting. Now, they could work together,
but no, that's not what That's not what rival drivers do.
(24:17):
Alessandro and Julian have been fierce competitors since they were nine.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
And ten, and now they were eleven and twelve.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Lots and lots of races under their belts.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
At that point the rivalry had grown violent, culminating in
high speed crashes.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Formula One has obviously been and continues to grow in
terms of popularity huge hugely popular in other parts of
the world, not as popular in the United States, say
as NASCAR or some other races racing circuits, but F
one is internationally massive. We just saw another race last
(24:52):
month in Vegas, one of the F one races.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
There, every current F one driver started in a go kart.
This is the best way to tell if someone can drive,
even though they can't yet drive a car.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, And this is one of the things about this
is that this echoes what we see in other sports
are now that we didn't see twenty years ago.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
We're seeing scholarships to college go to kids who are
our ten and eleven and twelve when it comes to football.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
Yeah, and in this case, Julian and Alessandro again eleven
and twelve years old, have stopped going to school full
time to focus on racing. They were originally too light
for the carts. You have to have with the cart
and the person the driver, you had to have a
certain weight. The mechanics had to add weights to the
(25:41):
chassis to keep them from flipping over.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Scouts representing Mercedes Ferrari they are tracking drivers now as
young as six years.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Old to become one of Formula one's twenty drivers. They
have ten teams, two cars each. It now requires a
commitment long before you can actually get a driver's license,
and by the time a driver makes it to Formula one,
parents sponsors, you're talking to the tune of millions of
dollars for their training and their racing.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Baby Race charges its drivers seventy five hundred dollars for
a four day race event, plus an entrance fee of
six hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
And this is what you would expect.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Julian's father owns a karting track in the northern part
of Italy. He's been able to get sponsors to sign
on to finance his son's career. The other kid, Alessandro
French American. His father started a string of tech companies
which brings him enough money that he could do whatever
he wants with it, and in this case, he's pouring
it into his son's F one career.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
He hopes, Ah, there's got to be some sort of
child aboose angle to this.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
As there is any kind of sport, like any kind
of fascination early training for any sport like this. Yeah,
you could make an argument that this is not in
the best interest of the kid.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
The two boys parents watched from opposite ends of the
track as they near the end of the fourth lap.
Julian's in second place. Alessandro is a few feet behind him.
Two cars rocketed toward the front, but Julian and another
driver made contact around a turn. Julian lost control as
cart went airborne. The announcer exclaims.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Huge crash.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Now, the names like that you know in F one currently,
like Schumacher and Hamilton, they started out as cart drivers.
As a matter of fact, Michael Schumacher, one of the
all time greats, won a race, a go kart race,
at the age of six in a vehicle that his
dad had put together with spare parts. Hamilton started racing
in his secondhand cart while his father was washing dishes
(27:42):
to pay for those races, and they said that's sport. Well,
what it was then is unrecognizable compared to what it
is today. And you see the same when it comes
to things like, I mean my experience in baseball or
soccer or something like that. When I was playing soccer
back when soccer was invented. When I was playing soccer,
(28:05):
not everybody had cleats. I mean we're playing with tennis
shoes and not everybody remembered to wear their team socks
that day or something, you know, simple like that. We
had baseball teams where the only piece of equipment that
you got was a shirt and maybe a hat, and
then your baseball pants were kind of up to up
to you.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
If you had them, you played with them.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
If not, you'd show up to practice in blue jeans
because that's what you were to school that day. But
if you think about that, hundreds of dollars that you
have to pay now for uniform fees to be a
member of a travel team baseball specifically, then you've got
your own helmet or two. You've got sunglasses, you've got
the high end batting gloves, you've got bats that can
(28:47):
be at least three hundred, four hundred dollars in some cases.
Think about that. But you're driving a vehicle. You're driving
a multi thousand dollars go kart for some team asked.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
What they would do if they fell short of f one.
Both of them laughed, the idea of being a driver
so inconceivable as to be ridiculous. By the way, they
did not win the race. Alessandro was a fourth. Julian
was thirty one or eighth of third. Eight came in
eighth of thirty one drivers.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
And there's no guarantees and in.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
A few months, they graduate to the junior category, assuming
there's enough money to pay for his next team.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
And then from the junior category these leagues, these feeder leagues,
you drive in what's called F three, which would be
I don't know, double a baseball. F three is the
next step after karting costs about a million point three
per year. That you've either got to bring you to
the table yourself or have sponsors that will do so.
The next step up F two is going to cost
(29:51):
you about two million dollars a year, and if you
don't have the budget, it's going to get tougher and
tougher to make it in that. But to even get
into that, even to get into this higher end karting world,
you have to show some promise, as like I said,
as early as six years old, just to get on
the radar of some of these companies and these sponsors.
