Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to k
i AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Very busy Monday today, of course, we are following the
story of director actor Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle,
found dead in their home in Brentwood, suffered stab wounds.
Believed that their son Nick is responsible. He has been
jailed on suspicion of murder. We are expecting a news
conference at some point today. They had originally said there
(00:30):
was going to be one this morning and have not
gotten to it. But in the event that they do,
will definitely will definitely bring that to you.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Massive story out of the FBI says they've foiled a
credible imminent terrorist threat terrorist threat excuse me, planned for
Los Angeles on New Year's Eve. Michael Monks from KFI
News is on this. Michael. We heard this news this morning.
It seemed kind of like a surprise. What do we know?
It seems like we've got five individuals have been charged
(01:00):
in Costady attempting to bomb various places.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Well, it didn't come as a surprise to the FBI,
which had apparently been monitoring this group since at least
last month, and they're called the Turtle Island Liberation Front,
Turtle Island being a reference to North America in Native
American culture, and apparently these four individuals here locally, as
well as a fifth who was allegedly planning something in
(01:26):
New Orleans. They'd been plotting since at least last month
to do some very serious damage on New Year's Eve,
with five locations, at least five locations in Los Angeles
and Orange County targeted for pipe bombs. US Attorney Bill A. Sale,
First Assistant US Attorney Bill A. Sale, said this morning
at a news conference that the FBI had been following
(01:49):
these folks, surveilling these folks, and finally caught up with
them in Lucerne Valley on Friday where they caught them,
and he says this situation was very serious.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Take listen.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Last Friday, December twelveth, the defendants took a significant step
to carry out their plans. They traveled to the remote campsite,
which you're going to see some video of in the desert,
and they began unloading their bomb making materials to assemble
and test the bombs. They had everything they needed to
make an operational bomb at that location, and they were
(02:19):
subsequently arrested by the FBI before they could build a
functional explosive device.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
So they had been very serious collecting the materials that
they needed for this and apparently the plan allegedly anyway,
was to carry out this attack on New Year's Eve,
but then to do future attacks targeting federal immigration agents.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
They okay, they know that they had the, like you said,
the materials to make the bombs, they hadn't actually made them.
What do we know about this Turtle Liberate or Turtle Island?
What is this about? What are their motives? What do
they think message they were going to send with these attacks?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
First US Attorney Bill of Salee minced no words in
his description of the Turtle Island Liberation Front, consistently referring
to them as far left, as anti government, as a
terrorist cell, anti capitalist group. This particular crew from that
organization were apparently even more radical. They dubbed themselves the
(03:22):
Order of the Black Lotus. So they were affiliated with
this group, Turtle Island Liberation Front more broadly, but then
more specifically, created this little faction within there that had
allegedly planned to carry out these terrorist attacks. Assale says,
that this was part of the directive out of the
White House when earlier this year President Trump called for
(03:43):
very thorough and aggressive investigations of left winging terrorist groups,
groups that they noted at the time included Antifa. This
does not appear to be that exactly, but that is
what first acting First Assistant US Attorney Bill of Sale
said today was this came out of that White House
initiative to go after left wing terror groups.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
In my initial vibe that I'm catching is that these
are crack pots, but when you dig into the details,
they were pretty detailed. Burner phones, declothing locations, long movies
to stream is at home to serve as an alibi.
I don't know how that would work as an alibi,
but they went for They had step by step process
(04:27):
in place for crafting these pipe bombs.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
They did indeed using cash for their transactions to see
if they couldn't be traced. There was also some disagreement
within this group, according to the surveillance that was announced
today by federal officials, that you know, some of the
people didn't think that the timeline they had created for
themselves was significant enough that they might have needed more
time or would have had to wait till after New
(04:51):
Year's Eve, so there was a lot of debate within
the organization, but the US Attorney's Office announced today that
there was a critical meeting here in downtown law Los Angeles,
where a lot of information was gathered by federal investigators.
So they were meeting remotely, they were meeting in person,
and ultimately their final meeting was last Friday out in
(05:12):
the desert where they planned to assemble these bombs.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
LA doesn't have a dropping of the ball like you'd
see in Times Square in New York, but there are
obviously large events that do happen on New Year's Eve.
Do we have any idea of that specifics of which
they might have been targeting.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Not yet.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I've looked through the complaints and didn't see anything specifically
as far as locations, and hopefully we can get some
clarity on that because it might illustrate what these folks
were after further, but First Assistant US Attorney Bill A.
Sale said multiple times that this is an anti capitalist group,
and he said specifically that they were targeting businesses. So
whether they were going to target any type of New
(05:51):
Year's Eve celebration where there might have been mass casualties.
We don't know that yet, or if it was going
to be more symbolic. You know a lot of businesses
aren't open at midnight on New Year's Eve, So if
they were targeting any prominent businesses just to make a
statement that way, that's the kind of information we're still seeking.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Michael Monks, KFI News, thank you so much. Excellent reporting,
per usual, my pleasure.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
But a great he lost his return to to Yeah,
but sport was a successful outing and actually I mean
until the very end they actually appreciate. Yeah, all that
defense is so good too. But yeah, I mean yeah,
in Seattle, you come back out of retirement five years gone,
you nearly knock off the favorite for the NFC in
(06:42):
their home stadium. There were a couple of uncomfortable moment
uncomfortable moments and his his, his, he's a bigger guy.
He's a much bigger guy. That's bigger. That's more than
fifteen pounds. Kids, they're like, oh, he's gained fifteen pounds.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I think Philip Rivers is gonna be part of our
motivational Monday A little bit later got to be, so
we'll do that coming up at twelve thirty. It's not
all listen that we will not be doing all bad
news all day today, but there are some significant stories
that need to be paid attention to. Obviously the locally,
the biggest headline is that Rob and Michelle Reiner's son
Nick has been arrested will be charged with their murder.
(07:19):
He's being held on four million dollars bail in the
custody of the Sheriff's Department as of this morning. He
was picked up just after nine o'clock last night. His
parents were found dead in their home there in Brentwood
yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Hundreds of thousands of people are gathering across LA this
week to celebrate Honkkah, and once again you're seeing, unfortunately
synagogues that are upping security, LA police increasing patrols. This
is based on what happened at Bondi Beach in Sydney.
At least fifteen people have been killed. Two shooters open
(07:56):
fire at this Honkah celebration.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
One gunman fifty was eventually shot and killed. The other shooter,
twenty four year old, was wounded as being treated at
a hospital. They originally said that he was in a coma.
Those people who are killed included a ten year old
and an eighty seven year old. At least thirty eight
others injured in the attack. And if you've seen there
(08:22):
is at one point a man who was in the
crowd who attacks on rushes one of the gunmen and
is actually able to wrestle a rifle away from him.
It's the videos that I saw yesterday seemed unbelievable, just
(08:45):
the fact that there were so many hundreds and hundreds
of people on this beach and everybody was running.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
When you think about the place Australia, you think about
the place that celebrates first. If you are not a
Jewish person, you are familiar with watching Australia celebrate New
Year's Eve ringing in the New Year. They celebrate first.
So this was obviously an attack to ruin the Honkkah message.
(09:16):
As one rabbi put it, at its core, this is
the kickoff for Hanukah for the entire world, and he
said Rabbi Zelman Schmatkin from Shabbad dot org. Little did
they realize that, just like in the very Hankah story itself,
their efforts would catalyze far greater observance of Honkkah and
(09:37):
inspire much more Honkah light across the entire globe than
ever before. And isn't that true? People have been urged
to redouble their Menora lightings that when darkness attacks, Hanukkah
teaches us to fight back with light.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Authorities are going to do extra patrols of Jewish facilities
and events to celebrate Hanukkah throughout La County. They announced
that there was also a story out of Redlands on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I don't know if you saw this.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
The gunman shot twenty bullets into the home of a
Jewish family while he was yelling f the Jews outside
the home had been decorated with Hanika blow ups with inflatables.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yeah, so in this case.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
The other issue that is being discussed in Australia is
Australia has some of the strictest gun control laws when
it comes to national policies, and this combined with the
spate of anti Semitic violence that they saw just last year,
(10:43):
there were a whole bunch of attacks in Sydney and Melbourne.
Synagogues and cars were burned and torched, businesses and homes
graffitied and some people literally attacked in the streets in
Sydney and Melbourne. Eighty five percent of Australian Jews live
in those two cities. At the time. The Prime Minister
blamed Iran for at least two of those attacks.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
And actually cut ties with the Iranian government. Father Son
team as legiance to the Islamic State as well. They
had acted alone, according to the intelligence, not part of
a wider extremist extremist cell, but they had clearly been
motivated by the extremist ideology. How do you even how
(11:30):
do you even begin to fight that this is the
same group that is behind the devastating attacks, the group
that inspired this father Son team, the Paris attacks of
twenty fifteen, one hundred and thirty people dead, remember the
concert Hall attack in Russia last year. This is the
same group. Two Islamic State flags were found in the
(11:51):
men's car there at the Bondi Beach.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
According to local authorities, they say there will almost certainly
be because these guys apparently owned these guns legally in Australia,
there would almost certainly be gun law changes. The fifty
year old the father was found to have had six
firearms when law enforcement raided the property where he had
been staying. Questions are obviously about how he was able
(12:19):
to acquire them, partly because in Australia we don't see
these types of crimes. Shootings in general are rare. Shootings
that result in death are even more rare. There was
a shooting back in nineteen ninety six Port Arthur and
the Tasmania the state of Tasmania, where a lone gunman
killed thirty five people, and that was what generated the
(12:43):
absolute crackdown by the Australian government to dramatically tighten gun
laws back then and which made it much more difficult
to get firearms there in Australia.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
And the wife and mother of the shooter and the
shooter both shooters. The wife and mom told investigators that
they said they were going on a fishing trip. No,
do you think she was that she knew? Yeah, yeah,
I think so too. There's no way that you've got
a husband and a son involved in carrying out a
(13:15):
mass murder and you're not aware of some of it.
It's the whole dotty sand dusky thing. You know what's
going on under your roof? Mom's moms, No, that is awful. Okay,
coming up next, how about we how about we have
some fun. How about we have some body do that.
Let's do that. We'll stay on top of all this.
I'll tell you what you need to know. But hey,
(13:36):
if you missed it, we did an hour and a
half on things that you should know. You don't have
to pay that much attention to because are horrific. But
if you want to go back, if you missed it,
go back and listen. You can just check the podcast.
How do you do that? How do you do that?
I so glad you asked. You go to wherever you
find your podcast and you just type it in Gary
(13:57):
and Shannon. We hope it's the current one. Have we
found the elves yet? Are the elves hiding?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I'm not sure that Richie knows the game. Oh, Richie
doesn't know the game. You have to do that, Elmer.
You should have known. Elmer, you know the game, and
you should have taken point on this, and those elves
better be hidden by the time we come back from
the break. It will it will? I'm social d damn right. Hey,
this isn't church league, Elmer. We're not ding around. This
is Christmas this is a hard Monday. Let's give him
(14:25):
a little break.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Sorry. You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM. Six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Federal authorities announced arrest of four people of this extremist
group planned on bombing several places across southern California on
New Year's Eve. We're on top of that. Good work
by the local and state and federal authorities there on
that one. Of course, we are focusing on anything that
comes out of the LAPD and the investigation into the
(14:55):
murder of Rob and Michelle Reiner at the hands according
to authority, of their son who stabbing killed them. The
call was made. The bodies were discovered yesterday afternoon about
three thirty Thorities.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Are also still searching or i should say again searching
for a person seen on a short video clip. In
Brown University. Two students were killed, nine others were injured.
Officials late yesterday said they had detained a person of
interest and then released a person of interest because they
had no reason to keep them in custody, so that
(15:29):
set law enforcement back. They at this point do not
have a known suspect in the shooting at Brown University.
Happened Saturday afternoon, government fired forty rounds inside a classroom
that was apparently the scene of an ECON final. So
Brown canceled all the remaining classes and exams obviously for
the rest of the semester. They're not recommending another shelter
(15:52):
in place order, even though they do not yet have
a suspect.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
So how about we lighten things up with uh, some vomit. Oh,
the vomiting bug, it's called the vomiting bug is rising
in California. There is a new strain upon us. And
and here we go, folks, right in time for the holidays.
(16:17):
It is the neuro virus. You've written songs about this.
It has moved you to art. The neumal virus has
in the.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Past that was shigella ah.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Similar.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
It feels like the chorus would be pretty similar. I mean,
might have to change some of the lyrics, but you.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Could do a whole musical. I bet on diarrhea the musical.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Neuro virus, they say, is extraordinarily contagious, not a little contagious,
not kind of contagious, extraordinarily contagious and is the leading
cause of vomiting a diarrhea in the United States.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Boy, so the reason we're doing this. It's kind of
a gas psa frankl. We all have our plates full
this time of year, especially with a short turnaround between
Thanksgiving and Christmas. We've I'm behind. I'm just doing my
Christmas cards today. It's late, it's the fifteenth. But anyway,
it is what it is. I still have to do
(17:19):
my you know, a lot of Christmas thing left to do,
all right, They're still shopping, wrapping the whole thing. If
you also feel the strain, maybe you don't want to
go to work, maybe you can't go to work, Maybe
it's too much to go to work tomorrow through Friday.
You call in with the neuro virus vomiting bug, and
I guarantee you get no follow ups. You call it.
(17:41):
I mean, what really is getting done between now and
the New year anyway?
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Right?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
The dead weeks? Yeah, dead dead ass weeks. So here
is your tool that you will use. You call the boss,
You say, hey, I think I got that vomiting bug thing,
and your boss goes, I'm sorry what I heard on
Gary and Shannon. It's this neuro vievirus vomiting bug, and
I think I've got it. Your bo's gonna be like, okay, fine,
stay home as long as you need to boom. You
(18:06):
have the whole week into the weekend to get your
christmasing done. That's helpful, right, we're helping people today.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, but make sure you don't say vomiting bug, because
I feel like that's almost too If you say neurovirus,
then whoever is receiving your phone call, whether it's front
to front office, then that makes it sound like you
actually got a diagnosis.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I would argue that point with all respect and honesty.
We are desensitized to neurovirus. We hear it. We hear
it from time to time. We hear it on cruise ships.
We hear neurovirus all the time. Vomiting bug is what
the local media is going with to have you click
on their story so they get advertisers, and it's working.
(18:56):
I wouldn't have clicked this morning on a neurovirus story,
but when I read the words vomiting bug, click, And
I think that's what your boss will respond to as well.
And that's why you source your information and you say
I've got the vomiting bug. I heard about it on
Gary and Shannon. I think it's exactly what I have.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
The neurovirus, because it is a virus can mutate, and
during last year's neurovirus season, GII seventeen over through the
previous dominant neurovirus strain GII four that had been responsible
(19:33):
for more than half of national neurovirus outbreaks.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Here's another here's another way that the local media I'm
looking at Ula times is furthering this and getting people
to click and I quote. Symptoms include severe ongoing vomiting, dehydration,
and profound diarrhea profound. Has anybody ever read the words
(20:02):
profound diarrhea? I ask you this, Does diarrhea need an adjective?
Does diarrhea need to be amplified with the word profound? Furthermore,
what about diarrhea? Is ever profound? Like you picked the
wrong adjective to get us to click. It worked, It worked,
(20:23):
I'll give you that, But profound diarrhea. You're using a
descriptor that is usually used for art poetry. Profound. You know,
a piece of cinematic gold is profound. Something that makes
you think, something that makes you, you know, have a
heightened dialogue usually is profound. Diarrhea is never profound? Have
(20:54):
you ever had diarrhea and got yourself that was profound. No, No,
I've usually just been crying. Yeah, I have time to
think about that. Yeah, heartbreaking diary. I could if I
could add an what I'm embarrassing diarrhea, like, I could
come up with a number of adjectives and the last
(21:14):
on the list would be profound. That would be right,
and it would be right above thoughtful. Yeah, thoughtful diarrhea.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yeah, you accidentally drink water or eat food contaminated with
fecal matter, touch a contaminated surface, and then put your
fingers in your mouth.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
People's just don't be disgusting. Just don't be disgusting.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
I didn't think it could get words until you said
the words put their fingers in their mouth. I didn't
think I could get more disgusted until you said that.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
All right, when we come back, you want to talk
about workers going back to work on their forties or
do you want to talk about your bedroom? Not dark bedroom?
Okay that I thought about this this weekend. I was
in Kansas City and the light it was dark in
the room, but the light in the bathroom was shining through,
and I remember thinking like, ah, at light's gonna be
(22:12):
a problem. I don't know why, I don't know how,
but that light's gonna bother me, like subconsciously, I could,
but I was feeling lazy. I didn't want to get up.
That's OK. But anyway, apparently just a little bit of
light can really have a impact on your sleep and
then other parts of your life, because you know, when
your sleep is messed with, everything gets thrown into the mix.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Next segment, we're gonna well, next commercial break, we're gonna
go find the find the elves, Fonsi and Sprinkles and
see what they're up to.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Fansi and Sprinkles. I wonder how they spent their weekend.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Profound, No, you don't think so. That's how they stay
so skinny?
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Is that right? Profound diarrhea Profound. Profound Diary wrote that
have you guys seen the viral trend of people using
the microwave to make the beat being sound as if
they're in the hospital. They press buttons on the microwave
while they're calling their boss to say they're not coming in,
and it sounds like they're in the hospital. I love
(23:21):
that TikTok or something. Yes, yeah, that's pretty funny. Oh
my gosh.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
The other thing my wife found yesterday or this weekend
that was laugh out loud funny was people who have
videos of their kids throwing tantrums, Like two three four
year olds are on tantrums.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I mean full body flop on the ground, hands in the.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Air, with gospel music put over the top of it.
It's it is app it is to die for, as
they say, don't they say that.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Still, it's really funny. I need to see it. I
love kids having tantrum.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
It is so and I wish, man, I just wish
some of this stuff was around when my kids were
young and I could have terrorized them with it.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I mean you could still do it. I could still
terrorize your sense.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Oh no, if they are going to have the same
kind of if they're gonna have the same kind of
tantrums that they would have, well, tell me more about
this sleep.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
You said that it's not dark enough. It's in some places.
Researchers are increasingly realizing that light has a dark side.
In twenty nineteen, one group of researchers found an association
between obesity in women and any level of light exposure
while sleeping. Now a couple things. Let's just park the
(24:40):
car and just think about what's going on. I am
a firm believer in these studies being complete crap, because
there are a number of other things going on in
people's lives, maybe in tandem with a level of light exposure,
that pro have more to do with obesity than a
(25:02):
level of light exposure. Okay, you can't do a direct correlation,
and maybe they did, but it's hard to believe there's
a direct correlation simply between women being obese and light exposure.
There's probably a lot of things in the middle there
that have to do with what is going on.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation, right, Okay.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Another team reported that light at night was linked to
high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes and older adults. Now
here's the new study. This is one just published last
month or the month before a study published. Researchers say
draws light on light exposure data from fitness monitors where
by people. Ninety thousand people were in this study taking
(25:49):
readings every minute. It revealed that low ambient light during
the night was linked to a higher risk of heart
failure over about ten years. So the point is there's
a growing body of work suggesting that good health requires
a dark night.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
It makes perfect sense because when we one hundred years ago,
there were not a lot of lights going on at
night or staying on at night. If you were lucky
enough to have lights.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
One hundred years ago, that's not that long ago. We
had light, we had electricity. One hundred and fifty years ago,
we didn't have a lot of light. Even if you
just had candles.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Well, the thing is, but we didn't have lights in
every you know, twelve candle lights in every room or
anything like that, and the idea that you would then
keep them on didn't make a lot of sense. So
it is well that candle out, Grandma.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
It's not just merely that people are sleeping poorly and
suffering from health effects of sleep deprivation. The psychicut or
the researchers say, even after adjusting for how much sleep
people are getting, the light busher was still a strong
independent predictor of various heart diseases, higher risk of atrial
(27:09):
fibrillation and stroke. Well, listen, I got a note from
my or a ring last night.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
It suggested that I had more What did it's say
deep sleep than I'd had in a long time, and
that I took for some reason. I had almost two
hours of deep sleep last night, which is weird because
I usually don't get more than about thirty minutes. But
it said that the deep sleep portion of your sleeping
(27:36):
actually helps clear out toxins in your body. Yes, for
some whatever it goes on, it starts.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
At about eleven PM.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yeah, yeah, and if you do it right, I mean, yeah,
if you go to bed at a regular time and
you get it that it does that. So if you're
not ever achieving that deep sleep or you're not staying
in that state long enough, it's not clearing out the
toxic that could mean your cardo cardio metabolic health suffers.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Is when you're a light sleeper like that, and when
you're and that's really the thing, Okay, like if there's
a light on, let's just use our common sense. If
there's a light on, you're going to be more likely
to wake up to that light subconsciously or otherwise during
the night. It's going to tell you it's time to
wake up, because that's what light. Going back to your
theory of back when we didn't have electricity, that's what
(28:24):
it does. It wakes you up. They found that if
you're a light sleeper and you're not reaching that state
of deep sleep that your aura ring told you were in,
your pancreas has a harder time at clearing out all
of all of the toxins, making the insulin, has to
work harder to make the insulin to keep the blood
sugar and check. So you're like in a heightened state.
(28:47):
Your nervous system is ready for action. The all of
those things add up to negative health consequences. When you're
effing with your your pancreas and with your nervous system
and with your sleep, you're gonna have problems. Period.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Is your bedroom dead black, completely blacked out?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I mean yeah, I mean it's it's dark. There's probably
I think there's like a night light on in the corner,
but that's it. It's pretty. It's dark. It's dark, and
it's also very cold. Here's the thing. My husband likes
it cold, and I get it. It makes sense. You're
supposed it's supposed to be cold when you sleep for
better sleep for all of these reasons. So when I
(29:26):
was in Kansas City and I was thinking I do this,
I do this pretty much every hotel I go to
in season because my husband's not there, So I'll crank
the thermostat up to seventy degrees soon as I get
into the room. That's profound heat. Well, he would think,
so really, well, if we're sleeping with it seventy degrees, yes,
(29:50):
I don't think he would enjoy that. That would not
be something that he would enjoy. I like to But
when we went to Kansas City, because it's four degrees
checking in or whatever, I get into the room, I
put it at seventy three degrees. And I went to
bed on Friday night with the thermostat at seventy three degrees.
And my god, my mom used to say this to
(30:12):
my grandmother, like, your grandmother drugs you, because she would
give me an electric blanket for my nap and she'd
crank the heater up because that's what makes you go
to sleep right and also keeps you asleep. And I
legitimately felt drugged. When I woke up Saturday morning, I
was like, what happened? I woke up late? Like, I'm
(30:32):
just like, what's going on? The bed is askew. I'm
just I'm sweating. I'm like what happened. It's because it's
seventy three degrees in that room, and I get it now.
I don't think it slept very well. I don't think
I slept very well. I mean I slept like a
you know, I sweated in all the thing. Not that
I need to share that story. That's lovely, but profound.
(30:55):
Seventy three degrees, that's what happens. You know, you're fully
clothed in bed. She you were already trying out your
heat vest. Yeah, oh my god. I was like preheating
myself for the cold. But the next night I cranked
that thing down to sixty seven. I was like, yeah,
and I slept so much better. I thought that I
(31:15):
wanted to sleep with a seventy three degrees, but I
did not.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
I have the last several well, last probably two weeks
since we got back from from Texas for Thanksgiving, we've
slept with the windows open in our bedroom.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah. I love it. It feels great. It just it's
counterintuitive for me to like, like sleeping in the cold cold.
Your husband's a smart man. He is very smart except
for one category. Oh okay, oh that's me. That's oh
that part. Oh there's gonna be in realist. We're doing
therapy today. Let me tell you I was in for it.
(31:49):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
and any time on demand on the Heart Radio app
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to k
i AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Very busy Monday today, of course, we are following the
story of director actor Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle,
found dead in their home in Brentwood, suffered stab wounds.
Believed that their son Nick is responsible. He has been
jailed on suspicion of murder. We are expecting a news
conference at some point today. They had originally said there
(00:30):
was going to be one this morning and have not
gotten to it. But in the event that they do,
will definitely will definitely bring that to you.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Massive story out of the FBI says they've foiled a
credible imminent terrorist threat terrorist threat excuse me, planned for
Los Angeles on New Year's Eve. Michael Monks from KFI
News is on this. Michael. We heard this news this morning.
It seemed kind of like a surprise. What do we know?
It seems like we've got five individuals have been charged
(01:00):
in Costady attempting to bomb various places.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Well, it didn't come as a surprise to the FBI,
which had apparently been monitoring this group since at least
last month, and they're called the Turtle Island Liberation Front,
Turtle Island being a reference to North America in Native
American culture, and apparently these four individuals here locally, as
well as a fifth who was allegedly planning something in
(01:26):
New Orleans. They'd been plotting since at least last month
to do some very serious damage on New Year's Eve,
with five locations, at least five locations in Los Angeles
and Orange County targeted for pipe bombs. US Attorney Bill A. Sale,
First Assistant US Attorney Bill A. Sale, said this morning
at a news conference that the FBI had been following
(01:49):
these folks, surveilling these folks, and finally caught up with
them in Lucerne Valley on Friday where they caught them,
and he says this situation was very serious.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Take listen.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Last Friday, December twelveth, the defendants took a significant step
to carry out their plans. They traveled to the remote campsite,
which you're going to see some video of in the desert,
and they began unloading their bomb making materials to assemble
and test the bombs. They had everything they needed to
make an operational bomb at that location, and they were
(02:19):
subsequently arrested by the FBI before they could build a
functional explosive device.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
So they had been very serious collecting the materials that
they needed for this and apparently the plan allegedly anyway,
was to carry out this attack on New Year's Eve,
but then to do future attacks targeting federal immigration agents.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
They okay, they know that they had the, like you said,
the materials to make the bombs, they hadn't actually made them.
What do we know about this Turtle Liberate or Turtle Island?
What is this about? What are their motives? What do
they think message they were going to send with these attacks?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
First US Attorney Bill of Salee minced no words in
his description of the Turtle Island Liberation Front, consistently referring
to them as far left, as anti government, as a
terrorist cell, anti capitalist group. This particular crew from that
organization were apparently even more radical. They dubbed themselves the
(03:22):
Order of the Black Lotus. So they were affiliated with
this group, Turtle Island Liberation Front more broadly, but then
more specifically, created this little faction within there that had
allegedly planned to carry out these terrorist attacks. Assale says,
that this was part of the directive out of the
White House when earlier this year President Trump called for
(03:43):
very thorough and aggressive investigations of left winging terrorist groups,
groups that they noted at the time included Antifa. This
does not appear to be that exactly, but that is
what first acting First Assistant US Attorney Bill of Sale
said today was this came out of that White House
initiative to go after left wing terror groups.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
In my initial vibe that I'm catching is that these
are crack pots, but when you dig into the details,
they were pretty detailed. Burner phones, declothing locations, long movies
to stream is at home to serve as an alibi.
I don't know how that would work as an alibi,
but they went for They had step by step process
(04:27):
in place for crafting these pipe bombs.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
They did indeed using cash for their transactions to see
if they couldn't be traced. There was also some disagreement
within this group, according to the surveillance that was announced
today by federal officials, that you know, some of the
people didn't think that the timeline they had created for
themselves was significant enough that they might have needed more
time or would have had to wait till after New
(04:51):
Year's Eve, so there was a lot of debate within
the organization, but the US Attorney's Office announced today that
there was a critical meeting here in downtown law Los Angeles,
where a lot of information was gathered by federal investigators.
So they were meeting remotely, they were meeting in person,
and ultimately their final meeting was last Friday out in
(05:12):
the desert where they planned to assemble these bombs.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
LA doesn't have a dropping of the ball like you'd
see in Times Square in New York, but there are
obviously large events that do happen on New Year's Eve.
Do we have any idea of that specifics of which
they might have been targeting.
Speaker 5 (05:28):
Not yet.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I've looked through the complaints and didn't see anything specifically
as far as locations, and hopefully we can get some
clarity on that because it might illustrate what these folks
were after further, but First Assistant US Attorney Bill A.
Sale said multiple times that this is an anti capitalist group,
and he said specifically that they were targeting businesses. So
whether they were going to target any type of New
(05:51):
Year's Eve celebration where there might have been mass casualties.
We don't know that yet, or if it was going
to be more symbolic. You know a lot of businesses
aren't open at midnight on New Year's Eve, So if
they were targeting any prominent businesses just to make a
statement that way, that's the kind of information we're still seeking.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Michael Monks, KFI News, thank you so much. Excellent reporting,
per usual, my pleasure.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
But a great he lost his return to to Yeah,
but sport was a successful outing and actually I mean
until the very end they actually appreciate. Yeah, all that
defense is so good too. But yeah, I mean yeah,
in Seattle, you come back out of retirement five years gone,
you nearly knock off the favorite for the NFC in
(06:42):
their home stadium. There were a couple of uncomfortable moment
uncomfortable moments and his his, his, he's a bigger guy.
He's a much bigger guy. That's bigger. That's more than
fifteen pounds. Kids, they're like, oh, he's gained fifteen pounds.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
I think Philip Rivers is gonna be part of our
motivational Monday A little bit later got to be, so
we'll do that coming up at twelve thirty. It's not
all listen that we will not be doing all bad
news all day today, but there are some significant stories
that need to be paid attention to. Obviously the locally,
the biggest headline is that Rob and Michelle Reiner's son
Nick has been arrested will be charged with their murder.
(07:19):
He's being held on four million dollars bail in the
custody of the Sheriff's Department as of this morning. He
was picked up just after nine o'clock last night. His
parents were found dead in their home there in Brentwood
yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Hundreds of thousands of people are gathering across LA this
week to celebrate Honkkah, and once again you're seeing, unfortunately
synagogues that are upping security, LA police increasing patrols. This
is based on what happened at Bondi Beach in Sydney.
At least fifteen people have been killed. Two shooters open
(07:56):
fire at this Honkah celebration.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
One gunman fifty was eventually shot and killed. The other shooter,
twenty four year old, was wounded as being treated at
a hospital. They originally said that he was in a coma.
Those people who are killed included a ten year old
and an eighty seven year old. At least thirty eight
others injured in the attack. And if you've seen there
(08:22):
is at one point a man who was in the
crowd who attacks on rushes one of the gunmen and
is actually able to wrestle a rifle away from him.
It's the videos that I saw yesterday seemed unbelievable, just
(08:45):
the fact that there were so many hundreds and hundreds
of people on this beach and everybody was running.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
When you think about the place Australia, you think about
the place that celebrates first. If you are not a
Jewish person, you are familiar with watching Australia celebrate New
Year's Eve ringing in the New Year. They celebrate first.
So this was obviously an attack to ruin the Honkkah message.
(09:16):
As one rabbi put it, at its core, this is
the kickoff for Hanukah for the entire world, and he
said Rabbi Zelman Schmatkin from Shabbad dot org. Little did
they realize that, just like in the very Hankah story itself,
their efforts would catalyze far greater observance of Honkkah and
(09:37):
inspire much more Honkah light across the entire globe than
ever before. And isn't that true? People have been urged
to redouble their Menora lightings that when darkness attacks, Hanukkah
teaches us to fight back with light.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Authorities are going to do extra patrols of Jewish facilities
and events to celebrate Hanukkah throughout La County. They announced
that there was also a story out of Redlands on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I don't know if you saw this.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
The gunman shot twenty bullets into the home of a
Jewish family while he was yelling f the Jews outside
the home had been decorated with Hanika blow ups with inflatables.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yeah, so in this case.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
The other issue that is being discussed in Australia is
Australia has some of the strictest gun control laws when
it comes to national policies, and this combined with the
spate of anti Semitic violence that they saw just last year,
(10:43):
there were a whole bunch of attacks in Sydney and Melbourne.
Synagogues and cars were burned and torched, businesses and homes
graffitied and some people literally attacked in the streets in
Sydney and Melbourne. Eighty five percent of Australian Jews live
in those two cities. At the time. The Prime Minister
blamed Iran for at least two of those attacks.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
And actually cut ties with the Iranian government. Father Son
team as legiance to the Islamic State as well. They
had acted alone, according to the intelligence, not part of
a wider extremist extremist cell, but they had clearly been
motivated by the extremist ideology. How do you even how
(11:30):
do you even begin to fight that this is the
same group that is behind the devastating attacks, the group
that inspired this father Son team, the Paris attacks of
twenty fifteen, one hundred and thirty people dead, remember the
concert Hall attack in Russia last year. This is the
same group. Two Islamic State flags were found in the
(11:51):
men's car there at the Bondi Beach.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
According to local authorities, they say there will almost certainly
be because these guys apparently owned these guns legally in Australia,
there would almost certainly be gun law changes. The fifty
year old the father was found to have had six
firearms when law enforcement raided the property where he had
been staying. Questions are obviously about how he was able
(12:19):
to acquire them, partly because in Australia we don't see
these types of crimes. Shootings in general are rare. Shootings
that result in death are even more rare. There was
a shooting back in nineteen ninety six Port Arthur and
the Tasmania the state of Tasmania, where a lone gunman
killed thirty five people, and that was what generated the
(12:43):
absolute crackdown by the Australian government to dramatically tighten gun
laws back then and which made it much more difficult
to get firearms there in Australia.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
And the wife and mother of the shooter and the
shooter both shooters. The wife and mom told investigators that
they said they were going on a fishing trip. No,
do you think she was that she knew? Yeah, yeah,
I think so too. There's no way that you've got
a husband and a son involved in carrying out a
(13:15):
mass murder and you're not aware of some of it.
It's the whole dotty sand dusky thing. You know what's
going on under your roof? Mom's moms, No, that is awful. Okay,
coming up next, how about we how about we have
some fun. How about we have some body do that.
Let's do that. We'll stay on top of all this.
I'll tell you what you need to know. But hey,
(13:36):
if you missed it, we did an hour and a
half on things that you should know. You don't have
to pay that much attention to because are horrific. But
if you want to go back, if you missed it,
go back and listen. You can just check the podcast.
How do you do that? How do you do that?
I so glad you asked. You go to wherever you
find your podcast and you just type it in Gary
(13:57):
and Shannon. We hope it's the current one. Have we
found the elves yet? Are the elves hiding?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I'm not sure that Richie knows the game. Oh, Richie
doesn't know the game. You have to do that, Elmer.
You should have known. Elmer, you know the game, and
you should have taken point on this, and those elves
better be hidden by the time we come back from
the break. It will it will? I'm social d damn right. Hey,
this isn't church league, Elmer. We're not ding around. This
is Christmas this is a hard Monday. Let's give him
(14:25):
a little break.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
Sorry. You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM. Six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Federal authorities announced arrest of four people of this extremist
group planned on bombing several places across southern California on
New Year's Eve. We're on top of that. Good work
by the local and state and federal authorities there on
that one. Of course, we are focusing on anything that
comes out of the LAPD and the investigation into the
(14:55):
murder of Rob and Michelle Reiner at the hands according
to authority, of their son who stabbing killed them. The
call was made. The bodies were discovered yesterday afternoon about
three thirty Thorities.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Are also still searching or i should say again searching
for a person seen on a short video clip. In
Brown University. Two students were killed, nine others were injured.
Officials late yesterday said they had detained a person of
interest and then released a person of interest because they
had no reason to keep them in custody, so that
(15:29):
set law enforcement back. They at this point do not
have a known suspect in the shooting at Brown University.
Happened Saturday afternoon, government fired forty rounds inside a classroom
that was apparently the scene of an ECON final. So
Brown canceled all the remaining classes and exams obviously for
the rest of the semester. They're not recommending another shelter
(15:52):
in place order, even though they do not yet have
a suspect.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
So how about we lighten things up with uh, some vomit. Oh,
the vomiting bug, it's called the vomiting bug is rising
in California. There is a new strain upon us. And
and here we go, folks, right in time for the holidays.
(16:17):
It is the neuro virus. You've written songs about this.
It has moved you to art. The neumal virus has
in the.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Past that was shigella ah.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Similar.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
It feels like the chorus would be pretty similar. I mean,
might have to change some of the lyrics, but you.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Could do a whole musical. I bet on diarrhea the musical.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Neuro virus, they say, is extraordinarily contagious, not a little contagious,
not kind of contagious, extraordinarily contagious and is the leading
cause of vomiting a diarrhea in the United States.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Boy, so the reason we're doing this. It's kind of
a gas psa frankl. We all have our plates full
this time of year, especially with a short turnaround between
Thanksgiving and Christmas. We've I'm behind. I'm just doing my
Christmas cards today. It's late, it's the fifteenth. But anyway,
it is what it is. I still have to do
(17:19):
my you know, a lot of Christmas thing left to do,
all right, They're still shopping, wrapping the whole thing. If
you also feel the strain, maybe you don't want to
go to work, maybe you can't go to work, Maybe
it's too much to go to work tomorrow through Friday.
You call in with the neuro virus vomiting bug, and
I guarantee you get no follow ups. You call it.
(17:41):
I mean, what really is getting done between now and
the New year anyway?
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Right?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
The dead weeks? Yeah, dead dead ass weeks. So here
is your tool that you will use. You call the boss,
You say, hey, I think I got that vomiting bug thing,
and your boss goes, I'm sorry what I heard on
Gary and Shannon. It's this neuro vievirus vomiting bug, and
I think I've got it. Your bo's gonna be like, okay, fine,
stay home as long as you need to boom. You
(18:06):
have the whole week into the weekend to get your
christmasing done. That's helpful, right, we're helping people today.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah, but make sure you don't say vomiting bug, because
I feel like that's almost too If you say neurovirus,
then whoever is receiving your phone call, whether it's front
to front office, then that makes it sound like you
actually got a diagnosis.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I would argue that point with all respect and honesty.
We are desensitized to neurovirus. We hear it. We hear
it from time to time. We hear it on cruise ships.
We hear neurovirus all the time. Vomiting bug is what
the local media is going with to have you click
on their story so they get advertisers, and it's working.
(18:56):
I wouldn't have clicked this morning on a neurovirus story,
but when I read the words vomiting bug, click, And
I think that's what your boss will respond to as well.
And that's why you source your information and you say
I've got the vomiting bug. I heard about it on
Gary and Shannon. I think it's exactly what I have.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
The neurovirus, because it is a virus can mutate, and
during last year's neurovirus season, GII seventeen over through the
previous dominant neurovirus strain GII four that had been responsible
(19:33):
for more than half of national neurovirus outbreaks.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Here's another here's another way that the local media I'm
looking at Ula times is furthering this and getting people
to click and I quote. Symptoms include severe ongoing vomiting, dehydration,
and profound diarrhea profound. Has anybody ever read the words
(20:02):
profound diarrhea? I ask you this, Does diarrhea need an adjective?
Does diarrhea need to be amplified with the word profound? Furthermore,
what about diarrhea? Is ever profound? Like you picked the
wrong adjective to get us to click. It worked, It worked,
(20:23):
I'll give you that, But profound diarrhea. You're using a
descriptor that is usually used for art poetry. Profound. You know,
a piece of cinematic gold is profound. Something that makes
you think, something that makes you, you know, have a
heightened dialogue usually is profound. Diarrhea is never profound? Have
(20:54):
you ever had diarrhea and got yourself that was profound. No, No,
I've usually just been crying. Yeah, I have time to
think about that. Yeah, heartbreaking diary. I could if I
could add an what I'm embarrassing diarrhea, like, I could
come up with a number of adjectives and the last
(21:14):
on the list would be profound. That would be right,
and it would be right above thoughtful. Yeah, thoughtful diarrhea.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yeah, you accidentally drink water or eat food contaminated with
fecal matter, touch a contaminated surface, and then put your
fingers in your mouth.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
People's just don't be disgusting. Just don't be disgusting.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
I didn't think it could get words until you said
the words put their fingers in their mouth. I didn't
think I could get more disgusted until you said that.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
All right, when we come back, you want to talk
about workers going back to work on their forties or
do you want to talk about your bedroom? Not dark bedroom?
Okay that I thought about this this weekend. I was
in Kansas City and the light it was dark in
the room, but the light in the bathroom was shining through,
and I remember thinking like, ah, at light's gonna be
(22:12):
a problem. I don't know why, I don't know how,
but that light's gonna bother me, like subconsciously, I could,
but I was feeling lazy. I didn't want to get up.
That's OK. But anyway, apparently just a little bit of
light can really have a impact on your sleep and
then other parts of your life, because you know, when
your sleep is messed with, everything gets thrown into the mix.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Next segment, we're gonna well, next commercial break, we're gonna
go find the find the elves, Fonsi and Sprinkles and
see what they're up to.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Fansi and Sprinkles. I wonder how they spent their weekend.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Profound, No, you don't think so. That's how they stay
so skinny?
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Is that right? Profound diarrhea Profound. Profound Diary wrote that
have you guys seen the viral trend of people using
the microwave to make the beat being sound as if
they're in the hospital. They press buttons on the microwave
while they're calling their boss to say they're not coming in,
and it sounds like they're in the hospital. I love
(23:21):
that TikTok or something. Yes, yeah, that's pretty funny. Oh
my gosh.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
The other thing my wife found yesterday or this weekend
that was laugh out loud funny was people who have
videos of their kids throwing tantrums, Like two three four
year olds are on tantrums.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I mean full body flop on the ground, hands in the.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Air, with gospel music put over the top of it.
It's it is app it is to die for, as
they say, don't they say that.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Still, it's really funny. I need to see it. I
love kids having tantrum.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
It is so and I wish, man, I just wish
some of this stuff was around when my kids were
young and I could have terrorized them with it.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I mean you could still do it. I could still
terrorize your sense.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Oh no, if they are going to have the same
kind of if they're gonna have the same kind of
tantrums that they would have, well, tell me more about
this sleep.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
You said that it's not dark enough. It's in some places.
Researchers are increasingly realizing that light has a dark side.
In twenty nineteen, one group of researchers found an association
between obesity in women and any level of light exposure
while sleeping. Now a couple things. Let's just park the
(24:40):
car and just think about what's going on. I am
a firm believer in these studies being complete crap, because
there are a number of other things going on in
people's lives, maybe in tandem with a level of light exposure,
that pro have more to do with obesity than a
(25:02):
level of light exposure. Okay, you can't do a direct correlation,
and maybe they did, but it's hard to believe there's
a direct correlation simply between women being obese and light exposure.
There's probably a lot of things in the middle there
that have to do with what is going on.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation, right, Okay.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Another team reported that light at night was linked to
high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes and older adults. Now
here's the new study. This is one just published last
month or the month before a study published. Researchers say
draws light on light exposure data from fitness monitors where
by people. Ninety thousand people were in this study taking
(25:49):
readings every minute. It revealed that low ambient light during
the night was linked to a higher risk of heart
failure over about ten years. So the point is there's
a growing body of work suggesting that good health requires
a dark night.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
It makes perfect sense because when we one hundred years ago,
there were not a lot of lights going on at
night or staying on at night. If you were lucky
enough to have lights.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
One hundred years ago, that's not that long ago. We
had light, we had electricity. One hundred and fifty years ago,
we didn't have a lot of light. Even if you
just had candles.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Well, the thing is, but we didn't have lights in
every you know, twelve candle lights in every room or
anything like that, and the idea that you would then
keep them on didn't make a lot of sense. So
it is well that candle out, Grandma.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
It's not just merely that people are sleeping poorly and
suffering from health effects of sleep deprivation. The psychicut or
the researchers say, even after adjusting for how much sleep
people are getting, the light busher was still a strong
independent predictor of various heart diseases, higher risk of atrial
(27:09):
fibrillation and stroke. Well, listen, I got a note from
my or a ring last night.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
It suggested that I had more What did it's say
deep sleep than I'd had in a long time, and
that I took for some reason. I had almost two
hours of deep sleep last night, which is weird because
I usually don't get more than about thirty minutes. But
it said that the deep sleep portion of your sleeping
(27:36):
actually helps clear out toxins in your body. Yes, for
some whatever it goes on, it starts.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
At about eleven PM.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yeah, yeah, and if you do it right, I mean, yeah,
if you go to bed at a regular time and
you get it that it does that. So if you're
not ever achieving that deep sleep or you're not staying
in that state long enough, it's not clearing out the
toxic that could mean your cardo cardio metabolic health suffers.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Is when you're a light sleeper like that, and when
you're and that's really the thing, Okay, like if there's
a light on, let's just use our common sense. If
there's a light on, you're going to be more likely
to wake up to that light subconsciously or otherwise during
the night. It's going to tell you it's time to
wake up, because that's what light. Going back to your
theory of back when we didn't have electricity, that's what
(28:24):
it does. It wakes you up. They found that if
you're a light sleeper and you're not reaching that state
of deep sleep that your aura ring told you were in,
your pancreas has a harder time at clearing out all
of all of the toxins, making the insulin, has to
work harder to make the insulin to keep the blood
sugar and check. So you're like in a heightened state.
(28:47):
Your nervous system is ready for action. The all of
those things add up to negative health consequences. When you're
effing with your your pancreas and with your nervous system
and with your sleep, you're gonna have problems. Period.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Is your bedroom dead black, completely blacked out?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I mean yeah, I mean it's it's dark. There's probably
I think there's like a night light on in the corner,
but that's it. It's pretty. It's dark. It's dark, and
it's also very cold. Here's the thing. My husband likes
it cold, and I get it. It makes sense. You're
supposed it's supposed to be cold when you sleep for
better sleep for all of these reasons. So when I
(29:26):
was in Kansas City and I was thinking I do this,
I do this pretty much every hotel I go to
in season because my husband's not there, So I'll crank
the thermostat up to seventy degrees soon as I get
into the room. That's profound heat. Well, he would think,
so really, well, if we're sleeping with it seventy degrees, yes,
(29:50):
I don't think he would enjoy that. That would not
be something that he would enjoy. I like to But
when we went to Kansas City, because it's four degrees
checking in or whatever, I get into the room, I
put it at seventy three degrees. And I went to
bed on Friday night with the thermostat at seventy three degrees.
And my god, my mom used to say this to
(30:12):
my grandmother, like, your grandmother drugs you, because she would
give me an electric blanket for my nap and she'd
crank the heater up because that's what makes you go
to sleep right and also keeps you asleep. And I
legitimately felt drugged. When I woke up Saturday morning, I
was like, what happened? I woke up late? Like, I'm
(30:32):
just like, what's going on? The bed is askew. I'm
just I'm sweating. I'm like what happened. It's because it's
seventy three degrees in that room, and I get it now.
I don't think it slept very well. I don't think
I slept very well. I mean I slept like a
you know, I sweated in all the thing. Not that
I need to share that story. That's lovely, but profound.
(30:55):
Seventy three degrees, that's what happens. You know, you're fully
clothed in bed. She you were already trying out your
heat vest. Yeah, oh my god. I was like preheating
myself for the cold. But the next night I cranked
that thing down to sixty seven. I was like, yeah,
and I slept so much better. I thought that I
(31:15):
wanted to sleep with a seventy three degrees, but I
did not.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
I have the last several well, last probably two weeks
since we got back from from Texas for Thanksgiving, we've
slept with the windows open in our bedroom.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah. I love it. It feels great. It just it's
counterintuitive for me to like, like sleeping in the cold cold.
Your husband's a smart man. He is very smart except
for one category. Oh okay, oh that's me. That's oh
that part. Oh there's gonna be in realist. We're doing
therapy today. Let me tell you I was in for it.
