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 app. Donald Trump being declared the winner
of the twenty twenty four presidential election by Congress, and
who had to do it all the woman he ran
against four months Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
That's where we start. Swamp watching the swamp is horrible.
Government doesn't work. Man, Make this like a reality TV show.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
A bad doos always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, DC. Hey, Joe,
a town all too clearly built on a swamp and
in so many ways still a swamp.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I have to watch your malarkey, boy said drained the swamp.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I said, oh that's so, hepe keeph You know.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
The thing, Members of Congress, the certificates having been read,
the tellers will ascertain and deliver the result to the
President of the Senate.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
And they did.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
They came up and read the tallies from each of
the states, leaving President Trump with three hundred and twelve
electoral votes and Kamala Harris with two twenty six.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
The purpose of the Joint Senate having been concluded, pursuing
to Senate concurrent Resolution number two, one hundred and nineteenth Congress.
The Chair declares this Joint Session dissolved. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
The whole thing quick and easy, not anywhere close to
what it looked like four years ago. Obviously security was intense,
but they've also they're also caught up in the weather
system that is causing so much chaos or elsewhere on
the East coast, so there's snow all over the place.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
No drama at all.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
And I think that she ate it up, you know,
the standing ovation she got as she walked in the
whole I am above all of the rancoring and all
the juvenile things of the election, and let's just move on.
Much to your point that you know, Hollywood essentially ignored
politics and Trump altogether. I think there's definitely a segment
(02:00):
of the population that just ignores the next four years.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
And we've seen that in that people are tired of politics. Yes,
I mean, I know that it's kind of like the
you know, the raw broccoli that goes with the meal
that nobody really wants to eat, but they know that
they have to. There is a certain amount of news
that is generated simply by politicians and the work of
the government. But people are tired of fighting. People are
(02:26):
tired of going after each other for something as silly
in many cases as their political beliefs.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
It's not just that, it's that it means nothing to
normal people in their real lives, with real problems that
are in your household or in your community. Well, that's
why they always say, you know, local politics is what
you should really be paying attention to, Like getting Gascon
out of office will have much more importance to your
(02:55):
life than what goes on on Capitol Hill for the
most part.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Here in California, Tom squaz is a congressman out of
New York, a Democrat who has was doing an interview
today that I listened to, and he was talking about
the importance of Democrats reaching out across the aisle and
working with not just their colleagues in Congress, but also
reaching out and working with Donald Trump to get back
(03:21):
into the good graces of so many voters who did
not like what Democrats had to offer.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
And one of the things that he specifically said.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Was they've got to come out on the right side
of immigration that for so long they have used immigration incorrectly,
basically painting anybody who wants to control immigration as racist
or having it out for a certain class of people
or whatever.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Well, and understanding that a lot of people that don't
want ilegal immigration are immigrants themselves, who have worked their
way up that list, who have paid taxes, who are
ingrained in the community. And you're just letting people in
and letting them go to the front of the line.
You're turning off a wide swath of America.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
And I think it was James Carville who said that
the Democrats need to drop I think he used the
term NPR language.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Yes, and they have had.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
It was James Carville, and he's right, and we've talked
about that since twenty sixteen. That that gets you no
favors with the people who think that you are the
elite to have no idea how they live.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
The other thing that I do believe it it's got
to have come from the Democrats or maybe the people
in the center that are calling this new fringe republican
conservative corner of.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
X the woke right.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
The people who say that the Haitians are eating the
dogs and the cats and the Venezuelans are coming to
take your children are just as crazy as the people
saying that there should be tampons in the boys' bathrooms,
and that you know, penises for all in the women's
sports locker rooms. Like they're the same person, they're just
on opposite ends of the spectrum.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
So like it's not just.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
The woke left now, it's the right that are the
crazy Haitians or eating our dogs?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Well, and that putting the and we said this many
times before, that putting the emphasis on those two absolute
polar opposites does nothing to help the divide in the country.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I think realizing that they are crazy on both sides
that far to the edges of the spectrum is important
for self awareness of the country.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Can we do both at the same time? I mean,
can we stand in the middle and go, y'all are
crazy on both sides or is it one at a time?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I think you can do both at the same time.
I sure hope so, Tom Swazi says.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
So the problem is is that most politicians haven't had
the guts to stand up to those extremists on both
sides because they're afraid they're going to lose a primary.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
That's what's killing our country.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
John F.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Kennedy wrote a book called Profiles and courage after about
one hundred and seventy five years of American history. There
are only eight people in that book, so it's not
easy for people to stand up to members of their
own party.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
We'll come back. We'll talk a little bit more about
what's going on in DC today.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Ken ps, can anybody else here at the same time
and not think about the office space? Quote two chicks
at the same time? I know I can't with your
brain so much.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
There is a football game tonight.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
It is the I guess the.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Second tier if you want to call it that, the
FCS title game College between North Dakota State and Montana
State Bobcats. North Dakota State Bison and the Montana State Bobcats.
We'll talk more about the playoffs being set. We get
into Gas Fantasy for play coming up at twelve twenty.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Have you heard about that big tuna, the heavy tuna,
the big one, big, huge tuna.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Heavy tuna heavy. I don't think i've heard those words
put together before.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
It's in Japan, and it weighs more than a grizzly bear.
That's a big tuna.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Isn't that the name that Andy Bernard gave Jim on
the office I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
The office a big moment in pop culture.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Don't look now, but China may have another mystery disease.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Now, grant market.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
It's eleven one and two seconds.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
It's that time of year, right, everybody's got something, sure,
or you know somebody who's got something or just getting
over something. Unconfirmed reports suggest a mystery disease ravaging China,
that hospitals and crematoriums are being overwhelmed. What's it called
m R t U interesting hmpva. They said that this
(07:44):
bug the least local media there in China suggesting this
might be connected to the human metaanumal virus h MPV,
and they said it's causing severe and even deadly results.
The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention says that
it's likely just a pretty severe strain of the flu
and that it's not anything novel like the coronavirus.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Who is it affecting the everybody's everybody and most of
them are Chinese, Okay, because I mean, is it one
of the things that we're seeing with underlying symptoms or
you know, other things going on.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Well, here's the sony part about China. They don't tell
us a lot of that stuff. No, you don't say so,
they're not going to be very forthcoming.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Milania Trump will be the subject of a new documentary
directed by Brett Ratner distributed by Amazon Prime. It's going
to be later this year. The company said this yesterday.
The film began shooting in December. It's the latest connection
between Jeff Bezos and Donald Trump. Of course, tech companies
are trying to improve their relationship with the President elect,
(08:51):
much like you were saying Democrats should probably be doing.
The film is also the first project that Rattner has
directed since he was accused of I don't know sexual
misconduct by multiple women. There is an appetite for Millennia.
Her memoir is still number one on the New York
Times Bestsellers list, and it's been there for eleven weeks.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I never would have guessed that.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
I would either.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
She describes her work as a fashion model, marriage to Trump,
time in the White House. You know, people love you,
especially when they don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
That much about you.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
That's the mystery part of it. The mystery I guess there.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I mean, I don't know if this is the right analogy,
but I think of all of the stuff that's been
going on with Megan Markle lately and how her show is. Listen,
she seems like an insufferable bore, but people watch that stuff,
(09:52):
but they already know everything about her.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
You know, she's got the royals thing now, where there's
an but an endless appetite for royals news, royal's gossip.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
You and I know this.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
We don't get it, but we know it exists right
where people, especially here in America, are infatuated. And especially
when you get somebody like Princess Diana who's not a
member of the royalty, you know, taking the throne. It's
fascinating this woman from the country. And yes, sure, sure
she had some up you know, high brow upbringing, but
(10:26):
it wasn't like she was in a royal to begin with.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
So here she comes into the royal family. Wow, what's
that like.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
It's kind of a normal person in the royal family,
which makes you totally fascinated. Megan Markle kind of has
the same thing in that she came from nothing. Really,
she became an actress, which we already hold on a
pedestal here and we're all fascinated by Hollywood. Listen to
us talk about the globes and now she's a member
of the royal family. Despite her being an insufferable bee
(10:53):
as she comes off sometimes it's still fascinating.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Well, and that to me is just that I understand
the idea that Milania Trump would be that interesting to
I don't know anything about her, I mean, other than
that she was a model and that she's married to
Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
And I guess I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
To me, that doesn't generate interest. I'm not dying. I
think her memoir, but I but I'm.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Well, you don't like women, right what?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
And then there's the fact that you don't know anything,
and here's three hundred pages about someone you know nothing
about who has this level of celebrity. It's kind of like, huh,
I wonder what her life has been like. I would
I would kind of maybe dig into that.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Quick note about politics stuff. We mentioned last week that
Judge wanmer Shawn had ordered a former sorry ordered President
elect Trump to show up to a sentencing coming up
on Friday. He has now launched an effort to block
the sentencing, which is set to be later this week.
(11:54):
He argued that the judge wrongly scheduled it before the
return to the White House. Lawyers for Trump were asking
him to put all the proceedings on the case on
hold because they're still going after the appeals of some
of the recent rulings. They plan to ask a state
appeals court to intervene on this matter. And again, he's
not going to be he's not going to be sentenced
to anything. He's not going to go to jail or
anything or any punishment. But this is this makes it
(12:17):
an official thing, I guess, and that's what the judge
is really shooting for.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I feel like it's not going to go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I mean, it seems like, especially if he is in
the process of appealing those decisions in the first place
that were made by this judge earlier, that this can't
take place. But listen, they didn't ask me, They asked
a jury in New York.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
How dare they they think they are? You know what
I mean?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
The other character that's going to take place, it's going
to take part in the new administration that I'm dying
to see is Susie Wiles. She they call her the
Ice Queen or whatever they called her.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
I see your book.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
She had come out and there will not be any
backbiting or any drama tolerated in the next administration. She said,
I don't want welcome. I don't welcome people who want
to work solo or be a star. My team and
I will not tolerate backbiting, second guessing inappropriately, or drama.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
These are counterproductive to the The only backbiting will be
from her. Right. I love that she could probably have
people killed battle axs. Oh, totally fart lack when we
can what is the oh?
Speaker 5 (13:28):
I love this?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Well? How are we doing on that wellness desk?
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (13:34):
You know, Clay the last time I asked him about it,
I said, how are we doing on the wellness desk?
He goes something to the fact of, I don't know,
but today probably would have been a good day to
have it ready because we were, I don't know, doing
a wellness update.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Well, we're going to do another one we come back.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Well, we could bring up our own wellness desk. We
could just play one of our songs. Okay, I do that, sure,
all right, Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
We'll talk about fart lack, fart lick training, fart lick's
see say it a little bit slower and that emphasis
is not black Lack l e k It's part Leck
Leck part Leck. Congress has certified President Trump as the
President elect Trump as the winner of the twenty twenty
(14:15):
four election without any sort of challenge. President Biden is
headed to New Orleans as they are a reeling from
that New Year's attack in which an army veteran plot
a truck into a bunch of people, killing fourteen. The
President said his message to those families is going to
be to hang on despite the grief. This visit could
be the last time he's going to go to the
scene of a well, we can hope the last time
(14:36):
he goes to the scene of a horrific crime as
president to console families. That blast of snow and ice
and wind and plunging temperatures has caused some travel conditions
from central and southern states all the way to the
east coast.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
All the way up the East coast, I should.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Say, schools, government officials, and offices in several states have closed.
They said there were six hundred at least six hundred
motorists stranded in just the state of Missouri. Hundreds of
car accidents reported in and around Virginia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky.
A lot of those places are just getting ice half
an inch to three quarters of an inch of ice,
(15:12):
which cannot be good.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
Well, my husband brought this to my attention the other day.
He goes, if you heard of fart licking, and I
start bleck leck, no, what is that? And he sent
me this article.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
It's out of the Washington Post, and it's kind of
in line with their whole getting fit and healthy for
the new year.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
And they say that, you know.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
There are a lot of exercise options, but few will
be as effective, simple and adaptable and enjoyable as fartlex
kind of like an informal version of interval training. And
I said to him as I was reading this, I've
done fartles all the time. I fart lick all the time.
Part lack leck go on.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Anyway, I've done this for a long time.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
If I go out, like for a walk or something,
I will fart like routinely do it. When I used
to run, I'd say, okay, it's time to fart lick
and I would.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Just go.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
It is. It's interval training, but maybe it's a little
bit more spaced out like it's sprints, but in between
each sprint is a little bit longer because you give
your heart rate time to normalize get back down to
a normal level.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
So here's what it is.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
You set out in your neighborhood and you're walking along
the neighborhood for a walk, and then you see a
stop sign up ahead.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
You go, I'm gonna run to that stop sign, So
you run to the stop sign.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
It's picking markers in the distance where you're gonna run
or you're gonna sprint or what have you. Makes sense, Yeah,
fart licking fart leck.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
It's Swedish. It means speed play.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Usually attributed to the Olympic decathlete and running coach Costa Holman,
who developed this whole concept back in the third after
the Swedish cross country team repeatedly retrounced by their neighbors,
the Fins during their international competitions. They said, it's one
of the easiest ways to simply amplify the intensity of
your favorite exercise.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I'm more correct, part lick fart lock bart lick part lock.
It's not lek, it's part lick fart lick.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
You'll see a greater increase in your VO two max,
which is a measure of our body's ability to deliver
oxygen to sell strongly associated with longevity. The lower someone's
VO two max, the likelier they are to die young,
and vice versa.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I kind of like doing this because I don't like
being told what to do. And if you're doing one
of those outdoor runs, whatever app you're doing, or it's
a walk run type thing, I like a walk run.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
I can't just run the whole time, I'll die.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
But if I do like a walk run and they're like, okay,
we're going to run in three two one, it's like
I wasn't ready for that. If you do your own
kind of system and your own kind of pace, you know,
and you know when you're ready. When your heart be
like you said, has recovered to where you're ready to
sprint or run again, that's when this comes in handy.
You can choose your own goalpost.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
A part of what I would goal line, part of
what I would struggle with is okay, I'm I would
be too impatient, Like I would, I would want to
get it over with. I don't want to see, well
you do to sit and wait around for my heart
rate to go back down, just to sprint and get
it over with then.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Don't do it. There's no rules. You don't have to
wait for your heart rate to go down. You know,
you can run to the purple bush, you can run
to that green house over there.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
That's it's all about being on your schedule. Interval training, right.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
This study that they did, researchers put together a large scale,
large scale study last year. Seventy five hundred middle aged
and older adult men and women were the activity tracker
for at least a week, and they said the overall
intensity of the activities proved to be a better predictor
of their longevity than how much they moved. The more
intense was more important than how much they did something.
(19:02):
The most sedentary men and women were about fourteen percent
more likely to have died in the intervening years than
those who moved around even a little more often. But
they said, if your physical activities were almost always of
low intensity, you actually had a higher risk for death
compared to those who's exercise intensity was even a little
bit greater than that. So it's something is always better
(19:25):
than nothing. One short ten fifteen twenty minute walk is
better than sitting on your couch for that same ten
fifteen or twenty minutes. But if you were to mix
in like jog, that's going to be even better. And
if you could go even harder than that for a
little bit, it's going to be you see even more.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Benefits for it.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
You know what I'm hearing.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
It's time to get off your Somebody wants to do
a plank in the commercial break.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I already did. We already did.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
We did a baby plank. I was cold working you up.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I'm not as cold anymore.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
You have training to do for Adult Fantasy Camp, plenty
of work to do that. I have the mindset of
playoffs and who's got it better than us and reaching
out and grabbing that victory and pulling it down. I
Am not going to settle for you coming home with miscongeniality.
You come home with an MVP trophy, or just don't
(20:19):
come back to this show.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
You need to be the best out there. And what
does the best do?
Speaker 1 (20:25):
They never stop, They prepare, they put the work in,
and they reap the results.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
You know why why?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Because we're Americans and this country was not built on pansies.
I won't do a plank in the commercial break. No,
it was built on men and women who rolled up
their sleeves and said, you know.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
What, I'm not going to be cold in this radio studio.
I'm going to do a plank.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I'm going to get my blood pumping, and I'm going
to go to Adult Fantasy Camp and I'm going to
show all those other dudes that.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
I am the freaking victor.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I am the one who goes into the arena and
battles and takes your blood, smears it on my face,
and comes home with the MVP trophy from Adult Fantasy
Baseball Camp.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
But my face, I don't. I hope I don't have
blood on what victors do because it's America.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
If I have blood on my face, things have gone
very wrong.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
And you are an American, you can pet the music now,
A you sure think I milked that?
Speaker 5 (21:35):
For all it was.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Some veterans comb stupid out a veteran.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
So I can't wait to see young guys play, because
guess what, you.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Can't be worse?
Speaker 5 (21:53):
All right?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Coming up next, heavy tuna, heavy snow and ice mess.
When it comes to traveling flights, driving power outages for
over sixty million people from Illinois to New Jersey, it's
a Virginia, Kentucky, West Virginia, Illinois, and Missouri that.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Have the largest power outages so far, the worst.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Of the snow and nice moving into the Appalachians and
the I ninety five corridor on the east coast.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Well, Francis is his name, the first woman they had
a major Vatican office.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Whoa welcome to what's going on?
Speaker 3 (22:29):
And then here's Sister Simona Brambilia Brambilla, an Italian nun
to become Prefect of the Vatican department responsible for Sorry,
I was gonna make a fashion or something. I'm gonna say,
Prefect of the Vatican department responsible for doing the dishes.
(22:52):
That is not nice. It's for the responsible for all
of the Church's religious orders.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
This is why I say things like when you say
I went reading Milan his book, I go, well, you
don't like them, and you go, I don't like women.
I adjust why I make those comments?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
How easy?
Speaker 3 (23:06):
The appointment marks a major step in his aim to
give women more leadership roles in governing the Catholic Church.
Some women have been named to the number two spots
in some of the Vatican offices, but never before has
a woman named Prefect of a dicasty.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
That's a word I have never heard before, dicastery or
a congregation.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
And you give me crap about not paying attention in
Catholic school.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
I didn't go to Catholic school. I would have expected
you would have heard that word before.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
But well, it's obviously a department of the Roman Curia,
which is a set of administrative institutions in the Catholic Church.
They helped the pope in governing the church. It comes
from the drenk word, which means law.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Courtnpon Steel and US Steel filing a federal lawsuit to
challenge the administration's decision to block that billion fifteen billion
dollar deal where Nipon would acquire US Steel. The companies,
in a separate lawsuit, alleged that the Sea CEO of
steel making rival Cleveland Cliffs, along with the head of
the United steel Workers union, worked together to scuttle that deal.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Well, it's time to learn about the heavy tuna.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Maybe the heavyest of tuna's.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
This is a tuna that is the equivalent in weight
to a male grizzly bear. It has sold for one
point three million dollars, making it one of the most
expensive tuna to be sold in the history of sushi.
I have a question. This tuna is dead right instead,
(24:36):
it's like lying on this wooden slat in the picture,
a bunch of Japanese people eyeing the tuna. How long
can you keep a tuna because not an ice or anything,
it's just lying on this wooden slab. How long do
you keep a dead tuna to make sushi or what
have you?
Speaker 5 (24:56):
How long does that keep for?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Because when I have sushi facts and how to make it,
how to keep it, how fresh it should be, I
go to you because I know you are the connoisseur
when it comes to raw fish.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
And I appreciate that game recognizes game when it comes
to fresh fish and sushi.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
The I don't know how long you would want to
keep that out.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
I wouldn't think for very long.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Like what's the difference between this piece of dead fish
in this warehouse when not iced and the you know,
the dead whale in Oregon.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Onodera group, the Onodera group is the one that bought
this thing, this Michelin Star Japanese restaurant chain, and which
is crazy.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I mean they said they.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Caught it right, it was caught off the coast Saturday morning,
and then they auctioned it pretty quickly. Frozen and fresh
tuna attracted bids from the country and around the world.
This one went for twenty one dollars per pounder.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
My husband and I have often different things that we
want to accomplish on vacations where we want to go
different museums, different tourist attractions, things like that. So I
think that was put into We have this this thing
where like we'll take a day away from each other,
do what we want to do, come back, exchange stories,
that kind of a thing. And I think that that
(26:21):
practice was put into place when we were in Japan
and Tokyo and he wanted to get up early because
you got to get up really early to go onto
the one of these famous fish markets where they bid
on all this fish for the sushi they're going to
make that day. And you can imagine it. It's like, well,
you've been to Pike Place Market. It's like that, but
bigger and higher ceilings and more blood and more guts.
(26:46):
And thus, I mean imagine waking up at five am
to drive out to this place on the on the
docks or what have you. And all you do is
you get out of your uber, your cab and you
just smell fish and you just well, you even't get
out of your coffee yet and it's just fish. And
he's like, well, we got to see this. It's really famous.
(27:06):
And I'm like, do we do we? I don't tell
me how it was. It was awful And by the
time we got there, it was all done. They had
done all the bidding and stuff like earlier that day
for whatever reason. But they do it like four thirty
five o'clock every morning. They have these fish market auctions
where you go and you bid on your fish for
(27:28):
the sushi for the day. Well, imagine this thing. This year,
the prize tuna fetched over twenty one hundred dollars per pound.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Now you're going to you're going to go have that
right away, right, They're not gonna, like you said. I mean,
they're obviously gonna this is not frozen in any way,
it doesn't look like it, and they're going to just
chop it up and put it.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
On the menu immediately. How much do you weigh seven pounds? No,
how much do you weigh one hundred and seventy one.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Hundred and seventy If you were a tuna, go on,
you would bring in about three hundred and fifty seven
thousand dollars. That's how much you're worth as a tuna,
as a tuna, as a good tuna, A nice tuna,
dub not like a grosser.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
The only equivalent I can I can think that I've
ever had any indication or anything similar to this was
Copper River salmon comes out of a last.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Yea that they when you can get it, get it,
get it.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
And that they serve it that night.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
It was caught that morning, and they fly down to
Seattle in a restaurant, they serve it that night.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Once in a while, for like a week, a year,
a week or two weeks. You can get it around here. Yeah,
but I mean you got to know when to comes,
and you got to get out there and get it.
It's so good though, it just melts in your mouth.
I love that sand.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
In twenty nineteen, they had a two hundred sorry, six
hundred and thirteen pound tuna fish at the same Tokyo
market that went for three point one million dollars, the
most expensive fish to be sold since records began.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
I feel like they should name the tuna when they
get to be that big, Like what would you name
that tuna, Jeff, Jeff, fascinating, that's not that fascinating. What
do you think your tuna name would be? Big, Big Tuna? Yeah,
all right, Bill Parcells, Bill Parcells, Big Tuna, Big Tuna.
(29:18):
Jim Halpern Big Tuna. Why would you, if you were
a man, go by the name. I guess if you're
a fisherman, sure, sure, I think you should be Big Rainbow.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Trout if I was a tuna. Yeah, to throw people
off my set exactly. We'll do our trending stories. I
just threw up a little bit gas Fantasy for play
mixtape Monday. It's all coming up on the What on
the what Oh, It's Big twelve.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
O'clock Massive Big Tuna Hour.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show. You
can always hear us live on KFI AM six forty
nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday, and
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. Donald Trump being declared the winner
of the twenty twenty four presidential election by Congress, and
who had to do it all the woman he ran
against four months Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
That's where we start. Swamp watching the swamp is horrible.
Government doesn't work. Man, Make this like a reality TV show.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
A bad doos always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, DC. Hey, Joe,
a town all too clearly built on a swamp and
in so many ways still a swamp.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I have to watch your malarkey, boy said drained the swamp.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I said, oh that's so, hepe keeph You know.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
The thing, Members of Congress, the certificates having been read,
the tellers will ascertain and deliver the result to the
President of the Senate.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
And they did.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
They came up and read the tallies from each of
the states, leaving President Trump with three hundred and twelve
electoral votes and Kamala Harris with two twenty six.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
The purpose of the Joint Senate having been concluded, pursuing
to Senate concurrent Resolution number two, one hundred and nineteenth Congress.
The Chair declares this Joint Session dissolved. Thank you.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
The whole thing quick and easy, not anywhere close to
what it looked like four years ago. Obviously security was intense,
but they've also they're also caught up in the weather
system that is causing so much chaos or elsewhere on
the East coast, so there's snow all over the place.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
No drama at all.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
And I think that she ate it up, you know,
the standing ovation she got as she walked in the
whole I am above all of the rancoring and all
the juvenile things of the election, and let's just move on.
Much to your point that you know, Hollywood essentially ignored
politics and Trump altogether. I think there's definitely a segment
(02:00):
of the population that just ignores the next four years.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
And we've seen that in that people are tired of politics. Yes,
I mean, I know that it's kind of like the
you know, the raw broccoli that goes with the meal
that nobody really wants to eat, but they know that
they have to. There is a certain amount of news
that is generated simply by politicians and the work of
the government. But people are tired of fighting. People are
(02:26):
tired of going after each other for something as silly
in many cases as their political beliefs.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
It's not just that, it's that it means nothing to
normal people in their real lives, with real problems that
are in your household or in your community. Well, that's
why they always say, you know, local politics is what
you should really be paying attention to, Like getting Gascon
out of office will have much more importance to your
(02:55):
life than what goes on on Capitol Hill for the
most part.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Here in California, Tom squaz is a congressman out of
New York, a Democrat who has was doing an interview
today that I listened to, and he was talking about
the importance of Democrats reaching out across the aisle and
working with not just their colleagues in Congress, but also
reaching out and working with Donald Trump to get back
(03:21):
into the good graces of so many voters who did
not like what Democrats had to offer.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
And one of the things that he specifically said.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Was they've got to come out on the right side
of immigration that for so long they have used immigration incorrectly,
basically painting anybody who wants to control immigration as racist
or having it out for a certain class of people
or whatever.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Well, and understanding that a lot of people that don't
want ilegal immigration are immigrants themselves, who have worked their
way up that list, who have paid taxes, who are
ingrained in the community. And you're just letting people in
and letting them go to the front of the line.
You're turning off a wide swath of America.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
And I think it was James Carville who said that
the Democrats need to drop I think he used the
term NPR language.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
Yes, and they have had.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
It was James Carville, and he's right, and we've talked
about that since twenty sixteen. That that gets you no
favors with the people who think that you are the
elite to have no idea how they live.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
The other thing that I do believe it it's got
to have come from the Democrats or maybe the people
in the center that are calling this new fringe republican
conservative corner of.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
X the woke right.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
The people who say that the Haitians are eating the
dogs and the cats and the Venezuelans are coming to
take your children are just as crazy as the people
saying that there should be tampons in the boys' bathrooms,
and that you know, penises for all in the women's
sports locker rooms. Like they're the same person, they're just
on opposite ends of the spectrum.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
So like it's not just.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
The woke left now, it's the right that are the
crazy Haitians or eating our dogs?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Well, and that putting the and we said this many
times before, that putting the emphasis on those two absolute
polar opposites does nothing to help the divide in the country.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I think realizing that they are crazy on both sides
that far to the edges of the spectrum is important
for self awareness of the country.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Can we do both at the same time? I mean,
can we stand in the middle and go, y'all are
crazy on both sides or is it one at a time?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I think you can do both at the same time.
I sure hope so, Tom Swazi says.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
So the problem is is that most politicians haven't had
the guts to stand up to those extremists on both
sides because they're afraid they're going to lose a primary.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
That's what's killing our country.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
John F.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Kennedy wrote a book called Profiles and courage after about
one hundred and seventy five years of American history. There
are only eight people in that book, so it's not
easy for people to stand up to members of their
own party.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
We'll come back. We'll talk a little bit more about
what's going on in DC today.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Ken ps, can anybody else here at the same time
and not think about the office space? Quote two chicks
at the same time? I know I can't with your
brain so much.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
There is a football game tonight.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
It is the I guess the.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Second tier if you want to call it that, the
FCS title game College between North Dakota State and Montana
State Bobcats. North Dakota State Bison and the Montana State Bobcats.
We'll talk more about the playoffs being set. We get
into Gas Fantasy for play coming up at twelve twenty.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Have you heard about that big tuna, the heavy tuna,
the big one, big, huge tuna.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Heavy tuna heavy. I don't think i've heard those words
put together before.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
It's in Japan, and it weighs more than a grizzly bear.
That's a big tuna.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Isn't that the name that Andy Bernard gave Jim on
the office I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
The office a big moment in pop culture.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Don't look now, but China may have another mystery disease.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Now, grant market.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
It's eleven one and two seconds.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
It's that time of year, right, everybody's got something, sure,
or you know somebody who's got something or just getting
over something. Unconfirmed reports suggest a mystery disease ravaging China,
that hospitals and crematoriums are being overwhelmed. What's it called
m R t U interesting hmpva. They said that this
(07:44):
bug the least local media there in China suggesting this
might be connected to the human metaanumal virus h MPV,
and they said it's causing severe and even deadly results.
The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention says that
it's likely just a pretty severe strain of the flu
and that it's not anything novel like the coronavirus.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Who is it affecting the everybody's everybody and most of
them are Chinese, Okay, because I mean, is it one
of the things that we're seeing with underlying symptoms or
you know, other things going on.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Well, here's the sony part about China. They don't tell
us a lot of that stuff. No, you don't say so,
they're not going to be very forthcoming.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Milania Trump will be the subject of a new documentary
directed by Brett Ratner distributed by Amazon Prime. It's going
to be later this year. The company said this yesterday.
The film began shooting in December. It's the latest connection
between Jeff Bezos and Donald Trump. Of course, tech companies
are trying to improve their relationship with the President elect,
(08:51):
much like you were saying Democrats should probably be doing.
The film is also the first project that Rattner has
directed since he was accused of I don't know sexual
misconduct by multiple women. There is an appetite for Millennia.
Her memoir is still number one on the New York
Times Bestsellers list, and it's been there for eleven weeks.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
I never would have guessed that.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
I would either.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
She describes her work as a fashion model, marriage to Trump,
time in the White House. You know, people love you,
especially when they don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
That much about you.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
That's the mystery part of it. The mystery I guess there.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I mean, I don't know if this is the right analogy,
but I think of all of the stuff that's been
going on with Megan Markle lately and how her show is. Listen,
she seems like an insufferable bore, but people watch that stuff,
(09:52):
but they already know everything about her.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
You know, she's got the royals thing now, where there's
an but an endless appetite for royals news, royal's gossip.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
You and I know this.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
We don't get it, but we know it exists right
where people, especially here in America, are infatuated. And especially
when you get somebody like Princess Diana who's not a
member of the royalty, you know, taking the throne. It's
fascinating this woman from the country. And yes, sure, sure
she had some up you know, high brow upbringing, but
(10:26):
it wasn't like she was in a royal to begin with.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
So here she comes into the royal family. Wow, what's
that like.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
It's kind of a normal person in the royal family,
which makes you totally fascinated. Megan Markle kind of has
the same thing in that she came from nothing. Really,
she became an actress, which we already hold on a
pedestal here and we're all fascinated by Hollywood. Listen to
us talk about the globes and now she's a member
of the royal family. Despite her being an insufferable bee
(10:53):
as she comes off sometimes it's still fascinating.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Well, and that to me is just that I understand
the idea that Milania Trump would be that interesting to
I don't know anything about her, I mean, other than
that she was a model and that she's married to
Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
And I guess I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
To me, that doesn't generate interest. I'm not dying. I
think her memoir, but I but I'm.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Well, you don't like women, right what?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
And then there's the fact that you don't know anything,
and here's three hundred pages about someone you know nothing
about who has this level of celebrity. It's kind of like, huh,
I wonder what her life has been like. I would
I would kind of maybe dig into that.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Quick note about politics stuff. We mentioned last week that
Judge wanmer Shawn had ordered a former sorry ordered President
elect Trump to show up to a sentencing coming up
on Friday. He has now launched an effort to block
the sentencing, which is set to be later this week.
(11:54):
He argued that the judge wrongly scheduled it before the
return to the White House. Lawyers for Trump were asking
him to put all the proceedings on the case on
hold because they're still going after the appeals of some
of the recent rulings. They plan to ask a state
appeals court to intervene on this matter. And again, he's
not going to be he's not going to be sentenced
to anything. He's not going to go to jail or
anything or any punishment. But this is this makes it
(12:17):
an official thing, I guess, and that's what the judge
is really shooting for.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I feel like it's not going to go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I mean, it seems like, especially if he is in
the process of appealing those decisions in the first place
that were made by this judge earlier, that this can't
take place. But listen, they didn't ask me, They asked
a jury in New York.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
How dare they they think they are? You know what
I mean?
Speaker 2 (12:47):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
The other character that's going to take place, it's going
to take part in the new administration that I'm dying
to see is Susie Wiles. She they call her the
Ice Queen or whatever they called her.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
I see your book.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
She had come out and there will not be any
backbiting or any drama tolerated in the next administration. She said,
I don't want welcome. I don't welcome people who want
to work solo or be a star. My team and
I will not tolerate backbiting, second guessing inappropriately, or drama.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
These are counterproductive to the The only backbiting will be
from her. Right. I love that she could probably have
people killed battle axs. Oh, totally fart lack when we
can what is the oh?
Speaker 5 (13:28):
I love this?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Well? How are we doing on that wellness desk?
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (13:34):
You know, Clay the last time I asked him about it,
I said, how are we doing on the wellness desk?
He goes something to the fact of, I don't know,
but today probably would have been a good day to
have it ready because we were, I don't know, doing
a wellness update.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Well, we're going to do another one we come back.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Well, we could bring up our own wellness desk. We
could just play one of our songs. Okay, I do that, sure,
all right, Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
We'll talk about fart lack, fart lick training, fart lick's
see say it a little bit slower and that emphasis
is not black Lack l e k It's part Leck
Leck part Leck. Congress has certified President Trump as the
President elect Trump as the winner of the twenty twenty
(14:15):
four election without any sort of challenge. President Biden is
headed to New Orleans as they are a reeling from
that New Year's attack in which an army veteran plot
a truck into a bunch of people, killing fourteen. The
President said his message to those families is going to
be to hang on despite the grief. This visit could
be the last time he's going to go to the
scene of a well, we can hope the last time
(14:36):
he goes to the scene of a horrific crime as
president to console families. That blast of snow and ice
and wind and plunging temperatures has caused some travel conditions
from central and southern states all the way to the
east coast.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
All the way up the East coast, I should.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Say, schools, government officials, and offices in several states have closed.
They said there were six hundred at least six hundred
motorists stranded in just the state of Missouri. Hundreds of
car accidents reported in and around Virginia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky.
A lot of those places are just getting ice half
an inch to three quarters of an inch of ice,
(15:12):
which cannot be good.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
Well, my husband brought this to my attention the other day.
He goes, if you heard of fart licking, and I
start bleck leck, no, what is that? And he sent
me this article.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
It's out of the Washington Post, and it's kind of
in line with their whole getting fit and healthy for
the new year.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
And they say that, you know.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
There are a lot of exercise options, but few will
be as effective, simple and adaptable and enjoyable as fartlex
kind of like an informal version of interval training. And
I said to him as I was reading this, I've
done fartles all the time. I fart lick all the time.
Part lack leck go on.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Anyway, I've done this for a long time.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
If I go out, like for a walk or something,
I will fart like routinely do it. When I used
to run, I'd say, okay, it's time to fart lick
and I would.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
Just go.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
It is. It's interval training, but maybe it's a little
bit more spaced out like it's sprints, but in between
each sprint is a little bit longer because you give
your heart rate time to normalize get back down to
a normal level.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
So here's what it is.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
You set out in your neighborhood and you're walking along
the neighborhood for a walk, and then you see a
stop sign up ahead.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
You go, I'm gonna run to that stop sign, So
you run to the stop sign.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
It's picking markers in the distance where you're gonna run
or you're gonna sprint or what have you. Makes sense, Yeah,
fart licking fart leck.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
It's Swedish. It means speed play.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Usually attributed to the Olympic decathlete and running coach Costa Holman,
who developed this whole concept back in the third after
the Swedish cross country team repeatedly retrounced by their neighbors,
the Fins during their international competitions. They said, it's one
of the easiest ways to simply amplify the intensity of
your favorite exercise.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I'm more correct, part lick fart lock bart lick part lock.
It's not lek, it's part lick fart lick.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
You'll see a greater increase in your VO two max,
which is a measure of our body's ability to deliver
oxygen to sell strongly associated with longevity. The lower someone's
VO two max, the likelier they are to die young,
and vice versa.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I kind of like doing this because I don't like
being told what to do. And if you're doing one
of those outdoor runs, whatever app you're doing, or it's
a walk run type thing, I like a walk run.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
I can't just run the whole time, I'll die.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
But if I do like a walk run and they're like, okay,
we're going to run in three two one, it's like
I wasn't ready for that. If you do your own
kind of system and your own kind of pace, you know,
and you know when you're ready. When your heart be
like you said, has recovered to where you're ready to
sprint or run again, that's when this comes in handy.
You can choose your own goalpost.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
A part of what I would goal line, part of
what I would struggle with is okay, I'm I would
be too impatient, Like I would, I would want to
get it over with. I don't want to see, well
you do to sit and wait around for my heart
rate to go back down, just to sprint and get
it over with then.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Don't do it. There's no rules. You don't have to
wait for your heart rate to go down. You know,
you can run to the purple bush, you can run
to that green house over there.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
That's it's all about being on your schedule. Interval training, right.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
This study that they did, researchers put together a large scale,
large scale study last year. Seventy five hundred middle aged
and older adult men and women were the activity tracker
for at least a week, and they said the overall
intensity of the activities proved to be a better predictor
of their longevity than how much they moved. The more
intense was more important than how much they did something.
(19:02):
The most sedentary men and women were about fourteen percent
more likely to have died in the intervening years than
those who moved around even a little more often. But
they said, if your physical activities were almost always of
low intensity, you actually had a higher risk for death
compared to those who's exercise intensity was even a little
bit greater than that. So it's something is always better
(19:25):
than nothing. One short ten fifteen twenty minute walk is
better than sitting on your couch for that same ten
fifteen or twenty minutes. But if you were to mix
in like jog, that's going to be even better. And
if you could go even harder than that for a
little bit, it's going to be you see even more.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Benefits for it.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
You know what I'm hearing.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
It's time to get off your Somebody wants to do
a plank in the commercial break.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I already did. We already did.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
We did a baby plank. I was cold working you up.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I'm not as cold anymore.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
You have training to do for Adult Fantasy Camp, plenty
of work to do that. I have the mindset of
playoffs and who's got it better than us and reaching
out and grabbing that victory and pulling it down. I
Am not going to settle for you coming home with miscongeniality.
You come home with an MVP trophy, or just don't
(20:19):
come back to this show.
Speaker 5 (20:21):
You need to be the best out there. And what
does the best do?
Speaker 1 (20:25):
They never stop, They prepare, they put the work in,
and they reap the results.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
You know why why?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Because we're Americans and this country was not built on pansies.
I won't do a plank in the commercial break. No,
it was built on men and women who rolled up
their sleeves and said, you know.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
What, I'm not going to be cold in this radio studio.
I'm going to do a plank.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
I'm going to get my blood pumping, and I'm going
to go to Adult Fantasy Camp and I'm going to
show all those other dudes that.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
I am the freaking victor.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I am the one who goes into the arena and
battles and takes your blood, smears it on my face,
and comes home with the MVP trophy from Adult Fantasy
Baseball Camp.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
But my face, I don't. I hope I don't have
blood on what victors do because it's America.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
If I have blood on my face, things have gone
very wrong.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
And you are an American, you can pet the music now,
A you sure think I milked that?
Speaker 5 (21:35):
For all it was.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Some veterans comb stupid out a veteran.
Speaker 6 (21:45):
So I can't wait to see young guys play, because
guess what, you.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Can't be worse?
Speaker 5 (21:53):
All right?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Coming up next, heavy tuna, heavy snow and ice mess.
When it comes to traveling flights, driving power outages for
over sixty million people from Illinois to New Jersey, it's
a Virginia, Kentucky, West Virginia, Illinois, and Missouri that.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Have the largest power outages so far, the worst.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Of the snow and nice moving into the Appalachians and
the I ninety five corridor on the east coast.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Well, Francis is his name, the first woman they had
a major Vatican office.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Whoa welcome to what's going on?
Speaker 3 (22:29):
And then here's Sister Simona Brambilia Brambilla, an Italian nun
to become Prefect of the Vatican department responsible for Sorry,
I was gonna make a fashion or something. I'm gonna say,
Prefect of the Vatican department responsible for doing the dishes.
(22:52):
That is not nice. It's for the responsible for all
of the Church's religious orders.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
This is why I say things like when you say
I went reading Milan his book, I go, well, you
don't like them, and you go, I don't like women.
I adjust why I make those comments?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
How easy?
Speaker 3 (23:06):
The appointment marks a major step in his aim to
give women more leadership roles in governing the Catholic Church.
Some women have been named to the number two spots
in some of the Vatican offices, but never before has
a woman named Prefect of a dicasty.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
That's a word I have never heard before, dicastery or
a congregation.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
And you give me crap about not paying attention in
Catholic school.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
I didn't go to Catholic school. I would have expected
you would have heard that word before.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
But well, it's obviously a department of the Roman Curia,
which is a set of administrative institutions in the Catholic Church.
They helped the pope in governing the church. It comes
from the drenk word, which means law.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Courtnpon Steel and US Steel filing a federal lawsuit to
challenge the administration's decision to block that billion fifteen billion
dollar deal where Nipon would acquire US Steel. The companies,
in a separate lawsuit, alleged that the Sea CEO of
steel making rival Cleveland Cliffs, along with the head of
the United steel Workers union, worked together to scuttle that deal.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Well, it's time to learn about the heavy tuna.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Maybe the heavyest of tuna's.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
This is a tuna that is the equivalent in weight
to a male grizzly bear. It has sold for one
point three million dollars, making it one of the most
expensive tuna to be sold in the history of sushi.
I have a question. This tuna is dead right instead,
(24:36):
it's like lying on this wooden slat in the picture,
a bunch of Japanese people eyeing the tuna. How long
can you keep a tuna because not an ice or anything,
it's just lying on this wooden slab. How long do
you keep a dead tuna to make sushi or what
have you?
Speaker 5 (24:56):
How long does that keep for?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Because when I have sushi facts and how to make it,
how to keep it, how fresh it should be, I
go to you because I know you are the connoisseur
when it comes to raw fish.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
And I appreciate that game recognizes game when it comes
to fresh fish and sushi.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
The I don't know how long you would want to
keep that out.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
I wouldn't think for very long.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Like what's the difference between this piece of dead fish
in this warehouse when not iced and the you know,
the dead whale in Oregon.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Onodera group, the Onodera group is the one that bought
this thing, this Michelin Star Japanese restaurant chain, and which
is crazy.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
I mean they said they.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Caught it right, it was caught off the coast Saturday morning,
and then they auctioned it pretty quickly. Frozen and fresh
tuna attracted bids from the country and around the world.
This one went for twenty one dollars per pounder.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
My husband and I have often different things that we
want to accomplish on vacations where we want to go
different museums, different tourist attractions, things like that. So I
think that was put into We have this this thing
where like we'll take a day away from each other,
do what we want to do, come back, exchange stories,
that kind of a thing. And I think that that
(26:21):
practice was put into place when we were in Japan
and Tokyo and he wanted to get up early because
you got to get up really early to go onto
the one of these famous fish markets where they bid
on all this fish for the sushi they're going to
make that day. And you can imagine it. It's like, well,
you've been to Pike Place Market. It's like that, but
bigger and higher ceilings and more blood and more guts.
(26:46):
And thus, I mean imagine waking up at five am
to drive out to this place on the on the
docks or what have you. And all you do is
you get out of your uber, your cab and you
just smell fish and you just well, you even't get
out of your coffee yet and it's just fish. And
he's like, well, we got to see this. It's really famous.
(27:06):
And I'm like, do we do we? I don't tell
me how it was. It was awful And by the
time we got there, it was all done. They had
done all the bidding and stuff like earlier that day
for whatever reason. But they do it like four thirty
five o'clock every morning. They have these fish market auctions
where you go and you bid on your fish for
(27:28):
the sushi for the day. Well, imagine this thing. This year,
the prize tuna fetched over twenty one hundred dollars per pound.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
Now you're going to you're going to go have that
right away, right, They're not gonna, like you said. I mean,
they're obviously gonna this is not frozen in any way,
it doesn't look like it, and they're going to just
chop it up and put it.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
On the menu immediately. How much do you weigh seven pounds? No,
how much do you weigh one hundred and seventy one.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Hundred and seventy If you were a tuna, go on,
you would bring in about three hundred and fifty seven
thousand dollars. That's how much you're worth as a tuna,
as a tuna, as a good tuna, A nice tuna,
dub not like a grosser.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
The only equivalent I can I can think that I've
ever had any indication or anything similar to this was
Copper River salmon comes out of a last.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Yea that they when you can get it, get it,
get it.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
And that they serve it that night.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
It was caught that morning, and they fly down to
Seattle in a restaurant, they serve it that night.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Once in a while, for like a week, a year,
a week or two weeks. You can get it around here. Yeah,
but I mean you got to know when to comes,
and you got to get out there and get it.
It's so good though, it just melts in your mouth.
I love that sand.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
In twenty nineteen, they had a two hundred sorry, six
hundred and thirteen pound tuna fish at the same Tokyo
market that went for three point one million dollars, the
most expensive fish to be sold since records began.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
I feel like they should name the tuna when they
get to be that big, Like what would you name
that tuna, Jeff, Jeff, fascinating, that's not that fascinating. What
do you think your tuna name would be? Big, Big Tuna? Yeah,
all right, Bill Parcells, Bill Parcells, Big Tuna, Big Tuna.
(29:18):
Jim Halpern Big Tuna. Why would you, if you were
a man, go by the name. I guess if you're
a fisherman, sure, sure, I think you should be Big Rainbow.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Trout if I was a tuna. Yeah, to throw people
off my set exactly. We'll do our trending stories. I
just threw up a little bit gas Fantasy for play
mixtape Monday. It's all coming up on the What on
the what Oh, It's Big twelve.
