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.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Gary, we had the same exact setup with the trap
below the kitchen sink and everything go down to home depot.
You buy the full attachment that goes on the indo
your hose, eat it into the pipe, turn on the water.
It expands and it blasts the cold blog bluckage out
of there.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Yeah, but they'll save a fortune, Yeah, and make an
absolute mess.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
I've seen those before, I've seen them used before, and
they just caused.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I can see the look on your wife's face overseeing
the project.
Speaker 5 (00:38):
Gary.
Speaker 6 (00:38):
You get a home depot to the tool section and
you rent not a industrial snake.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Not a bad idea.
Speaker 6 (00:47):
They're really not that hard to work with. You do
it a couple of times a year and run everything
and it's kind of a maintenance plan. We've done it
in the past. It's not that intimate dating. I know
you're very competent.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (01:04):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 8 (01:05):
See here my two cents.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
How many feet do you think you need?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
I think it's probably I would say minimum seventy five
feet Okay, I've.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Got a seventy foot here drain cleaner for four hours
at sixty seven dollars.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
That would save you a fortune. That would save a
lot of money.
Speaker 9 (01:22):
Gary.
Speaker 7 (01:22):
Hey, Shannon, I work construction. I can tell you right now,
one hundred foot snake. You're looking at about four to
five four to get a decent one.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
That's if it's weeks.
Speaker 7 (01:31):
I can eighty foot that I usually use. Those are
running anywhere from six to about fifteen hundred dollars. Home depot,
by the way, just call a plumber and get it done.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I did home depot. You can run it for four hours.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
It goes up for as much time as you have
it for, right, but for four hours if you get
it done, which would be quick.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
But that's the longest. Is seventy foot that they seventy
five foot? No, they have one hundred foot one.
Speaker 10 (01:55):
Good morning, guys, Welcome back, Shannon, go niners. Yeah, this
is James the plumber of plumbing here.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (02:01):
Plumbing is are one of those great, great, great great
careers where you don't have to worry about AI replacing
you robots. You have to have these very skilled professionals
come in and diagnose these problems. So yeah, it is
a great look at the business to invest in. And uh,
you guys have a great day. Keep clogging up those
journeys so you can keep getting the space.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
That See, that's what I'm doing, is I'm helping small businesses.
That's what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
That's where you're basically holding up America on your shoulders.
It's called because you believe in this country.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Off monomics. All right, it's time for swamp watch.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Swamps actually sounds better than it's.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Like a reality TV show. Was a bad due always
a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Hey Joey, a town all too clearly built on a
swamp and in so many ways still a swamps.
Speaker 9 (02:57):
A bunch of malarkey. Nobody said dream the swamp.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I said, Oh, that's so I'll keep happen.
Speaker 10 (03:03):
You know the thing.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Oh, Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump will both
be in Pennsylvania on opposite sides of the state today.
She'll be in the northwest corner of Eerie. He'll be
in the suburbs of Philly.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
A lot of attention was paid over the weekend to
some interviews that were done. One of them was a
jd Vance interview with The New York Times.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
This was about the Venezuelans and the apartments in Aurora.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Here's the thing about the generally, yes it was, I
mean he mentioned that, but that was also with Martha
Raddits from ABC. But there's there's a thing that we've
seen that I've seen a lot of reaction to when
it comes to JD Vance, which is, I mean, you
said it after the debate that he had with Tim Walls.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
That's not the same guy that I thought he was.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Jade Vance is a well spoken, well thought out guy. Again,
you don't have to agree with his politics, but you
gotta admit he's a different person than what was than
the image that had been painted of him.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
It was an exceptional debate performance, and I realized that
he is practiced at going on all these shows and
doing the interviews and having the thoughts and the points
ready to pull up, certainly more than Tim Walls has.
But yeah, I was impressed with the way he was
able to articulate their positions and speak like a human.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I didn't like that he called Bob Woodward a hack. Well,
it's that he has a hard.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Time sometimes He won't admit that Trump lost the twenty
twenty election.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I understand why he's not doing it, but it's one
of those things that's an easily avoidable mistake. Now, he
was on ABC's This Week Is This Week and I
don't remember what the sun it was ABC's This Is
with Martha Raddisy and the Sunday Morning Show, and she
was asking about that discussion about immigrants taking over apartment
(04:57):
complexes in Aurora colliber.
Speaker 11 (05:00):
We're limited to a handful of apartment complex apartment complexes,
and the mayor said, our dedicated police officers have acted
on those concerns a handful of problems.
Speaker 12 (05:13):
Only, Martha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of
apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs.
And Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris's
open border.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Americans are so.
Speaker 12 (05:26):
Fed up with what's going on, and they have every
right to be. And I really find this exchange, Martha
is sort of interesting because you seem to be more
focused with nitpicking everything that Donald Trump has said, rather
than acknowledging that apartment complexes in the United States of
America are being taken over by violent gangs now.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
And that's all he had to say. He didn't have
to get into any of the details. He didn't have
to because Martha Raddis was the one who kind of
set that up and said it's only a couple of
apartment complexes that are being.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
That was a dumb thing for her to say.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
But I'm if you want to Nippick, go back in
time and look at all the apartment complexes that have
been taken over by gangs in this country.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
This is not a new problem.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Look at Kabrini Green, Okay, like places that have been
shut down because violent gangs have overcome them. This isn't
just a Venezuelan immigrants, illegal immigration thing. This is just
the way apartment buildings work sometimes in poor areas.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
This was one of the interviews that was done and
there's going to be a new push, I think for
these next couple of weeks where Kamala Harris is going
to continue this media blitz that she started last week,
and among other things, she's sitting down with Fox News
coming up on Wednesday, She's going to sit down with
Brett Baer for what would be a longer form interview.
(06:46):
I don't think they're going to let him, sorry, let
her get away with any of the answers that sixty minutes.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Let her get over it for her to go on
Fox News.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I mean that is yeah, because you're absolutely right, you're
not going to get the sixty minutes treatment there. I
will watch what times at a three pm our time
on Special Report.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Okay, coming up next.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
It looks like Biden's staff and Kamala Harris's staff are
at each other's throats.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
That's the weirdest palace intrigue story I saw over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Well you heard the same thing with Biden's people and
Obama's people. And then earlier on in the administration, Tim Kates.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Has had a lot of coffee.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
He's in a long week, long couple of weeks, and
he's just howling like a freaking wolf in the hallways.
But yeah, you kind of heard about the consternation between
the staffs, and I wonder how common that is. It
sounds like it's pretty common in Washington because everyone's cutthroat
and looking to get ahead.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
They're just in it for themselves. Yeah, all right, swamp
Watch continues.
Speaker 9 (07:45):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Do you know how the Jeopardy questions have been just
very underwhelming, Like today's what is the three word example?
For drugs that are not prescription? It's over the counter, right,
It's just stupid, just stupid stuff. I've decided I'm gonna
come up up with my own Jeopardy questions for you
every day.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Okay, here's today's. Oh, do you want me to play
the thing? Yeah? Me warm up to it though.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Which Pitcher holds the MLB record for consecutive scoreless innings pitched?
It was fifty nine consecutive innings. And I'll give you
a hint. No, you don't want to hint, Oral Hirschheiser.
See how fun this is going to be.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I'm having fun. I'm having fun. I am having a
lot of fun. I do have good news.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
By the way, Hey Gary, a snake has had something
to jack around with. You pay a guy to do it.
I mean, it's cheap enough, and you can do a
lot of damage with that snake. If you don't know
what you're doing, it's well worth what you'll pay to
have it done. Take care.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Everything's fine. I can it's been done, project completed, very
reasonable price. And like I said, from the time I
called to the time it was complete, it was seventy
five minutes. That's not days. Seventy five minutes, no mess.
So I'll give a shout out to my friends at
(09:21):
Shellback Plumbing. That's a rack because they did a great job.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
When I said it takes a while, I was thinking
about the heating. Air people sometimes like your heating and
your air will go out right the first time you
use it because you haven't use it for.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
A while, and it's one hundred and nineteen and it's
one hundred and.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Nineteen degrees and they're like, sorry, Moose outfront, should have
told you to call three months ago, Dumbassuh yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yeah, So all right, there's a there's a there's weird
palace intrigue going on, and the I can understand there
being conflict. If you have a president who is not
running for president running for reelection and a vice president
who is, you're going to have some political division inside
(10:08):
that administration, and there.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Is you can.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Ascribe different motivations for it. Some in this Palace Intrigue novel,
it's that Joe Biden is upset that Democrats in general
forced him off of the top of the ticket, and
he's taking it out on the woman who replaced him,
his own vice president.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
He's appeared to undercut Harris at least four times in
recent weeks. During these critical final stages of the election.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
He made a.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Surprise White House briefing room appearance during one of her
rallies and praised ron DeSantis' response to the hurricanes, while
at the same time she was saying that DeSantis was
playing politics with the storms. Now there's a new report
from Axios with quotes from ten anonymous insiders that say
(11:03):
resentment from bruised Biden aids has led to friction.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Yeah, do they have time for friction? Do they have
time to spend a lot of oxygen on feeling negative
towards the Harris campaign?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Harris, I don't believe it's a let's work together atmosphere
in DC. Harris aids claim that the Biden team is
deliberately not working with them, so they're too much in
their feelings. A Harris ally says of Biden's team, Well,
(11:40):
that is true. Trump is talking about it, talking about
the relationship between Biden and Harris, says he can't stand
her for one simple reason. She overthrew him, but smartly,
he says, but she didn't do what the party did. Yeah,
Kamala Harris had like nothing to do with this. This
was Nancy Pelosi heavyweights.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Kamala Harris.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
To to quote Senator John Kennedy from an interview I
saw this morning, Kamala Harris was polling about as well
as punching kittens. I mean, her favorability rating in say, April,
May and June of this year was very, very low.
And remember Democrats themselves, I mean, the party did not
even elevate her to be close to.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
The nominee.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
When twenty twenty rolled around, she was out before the
Iowa Caucasus. And that's not to say that she can't
be the nominee now, but it's a very quick turnaround
from what she was polling earlier in the year to
what she is right now. The other thing is she's
raised a billion dollars. Did you see that headline last week?
(12:46):
She's raised a billion dollars since she got into the
race at the end of July and is still tied.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Wow, think about it.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I mean, that's picked up the polls. I read this morning,
he's picked up some steam.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
He's picked up steam.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
He's picked up steam in different places that were unexpected,
whether it's Latino votes or black men, because that became
such an issue last week. I mean, the fact that
they're tied blows my mind. And it's only going to
get I mean, is what to this three weeks.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Weird thing going on on my street?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
So in my neighborhood, I should say, along the street
that I drive to get home, there were a couple
Harris Walls signs, just maybe two or three homes that
had them sporadically along the main drag.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
And then in the.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Past week, for every Harris Wall sign there's a Trump
Fans sign. I was thinking at first, our people around
here just don't want to be out and proud with
their their Trump support. And I think there's this weird
thing going on where those Harris Wall signs were out
there three weeks ago, and within the past week the
(13:58):
Trump fan signs of all gone up, and now it's
fifty to fifty on the same stretch of neighborhood. I
don't have a lot, and they're all it's all hopscotch,
which is oh, I beckon wild?
Speaker 4 (14:12):
What house is one and the next house is the other,
and vice versa all the way down.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Up next, an amazing moment yesterday that if you haven't
seen the video, it did not look real when I
saw it. We caught a rocket. We caught a rocket.
We'll talk about what happened with SpaceX yesterday.
Speaker 9 (14:33):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
A couple NASA spacecraft has actually blasted off on a
journey to explore Jupiter's moon Europa and talk about what
kind of hidden ocean might hold the keys to life there.
SpaceX launched the Europa Clipper today from the Kennedy Space Center.
It's going to take five and a half years for
Clipper to reach Jupiter, and once there, it will orbit
the giant planet, getting close to Europa during dozens of flybys.
(15:01):
Five point two billion dollar mission. They said it's not
looking for life, but rather the conditions necessary for it.
Scientists say they're almost certain that there's a pretty deep
ocean that exists beneath the icy crust that is Europa.
But speaking of Florida and Cape Canaveral and the whole
Space coast down there.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Oh, let me play.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
That SpaceX has executed a complicated landing procedure for one
of its rockets. One of the boosters on the Starship
spacecraft successfully flew back to the launch site and was
caught by giant metal arms what the company calls chopsticks
super Happy Easter. The Starship itself splashed down in the
(15:42):
Indian Ocean. Blue Origin, a competing private space company, stood
down a planned launch around the same time, siting a
GPS issue. Mike Debaski, ABC.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
News, So the video itself, incredible, was pretty dramatic, and
it was great to hear everybody cheer that thing like
it was a Super Bowl victory. I mean, they were
so excited because again, as Kate Tye, she was the
SpaceX manager of Quality Systems Engineering, during the live commentary,
she said, it's insane. On our first ever attempt, we
(16:14):
have successfully caught the super heavy booster back at the
launch tower. Another one who is a SpaceX guy who
was actually at the launch site said, are you kidding me?
Even in this day and age, what we just saw
that looked like magic Because this super heavy rocket, the
booster catch was not the only goal for this flight five.
(16:35):
And again this is the big version. This is not
the Falcon rockets that go off for the Falcon capsules.
SpaceX is aimed to send starships upper stage known as
star Ship, to space and then bring it back to
Earth with the splashdown in the Indian Ocean, and that
occurred about an hour after lift off. The ship fired
(16:57):
three of its six engines to hover over the ocean
before it tipped over and exploded. They knew that that
was going to happen, and that was the better that
was the better plan. But that this starship had four
previous flights April and November of last year, and then
March and June of this year. And the thing about
this is it keeps getting better each time. The debut
(17:19):
mission lasted just four minutes. SpaceX ordered a detonation high
in Texas after the two stages failed to separate. But
flight four back in June was a complete success. It
reached orbital velocity and both the shape the ship and
the super heavy rocket survived the return to Earth, landing
in their designated splash down zones. And then that starship
(17:40):
took another leap today yesterday when it landed back when
the heavy rocket landed back in the tower, and again
the fact that it's able to maneuver. We've seen SpaceX
land their rockets back on platforms before, but this one landed,
was caught, I guess before it even lands because the
(18:00):
two arms, the chopsticks, as Mike Debusky pointed out, came
together and caught this thing before it actually hit the ground.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
If it were up.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
It was like an Elijah Moulden interception with chopsticks, wasn't it.
Simi fehoku that grab along the sideline Flight five?
Speaker 3 (18:19):
How would they catch it? I don't know. I don't know,
I don't know. Do you know that the.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Next five opponents are all teams with losing records.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I got a real chance to go on a run here.
That seems the dangerous though.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Arizona, New Orleans, Cleveland, Tennessee, and Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
I'd give you Tennessee. I might even give you Arizona.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Do you think anyone's gonna you think the Saints are
gonna beat anyone?
Speaker 3 (18:43):
You see? You know I saw Cleveland. Think Cleveland's gonna
beat anyone?
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Saw a documentary one time called on any given Sunday,
And you know what that means?
Speaker 3 (18:52):
So that was a movie. I was a feature of film.
This is a document and it was a documentary. So
you're saying that you like their chances.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I just this defense is something I've never seen before
with the Chargers. It's like they have never had an
elite offense and an elite defense together in one season.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Did you talk to after the game yesterday.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Denzel Perimo? But Khalil Mack, he posted a grade of
ninety point five. That's his best mark of the season
so far. His run defense, which is really the standout.
The run defense going into this one, was ranked fourth
in the league.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
A year ago.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
It was twenty fifth two seasons before thirty second.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
So it's been like thirty second out of thirty Two's
been leaps and bounds. To watch this run defense and
the way it's been put together. My goodness.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Okay, yeah, I just you were talking about space things
and then my mind hurts, so I had to go
back to football things.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Make more babies, talk about that or not when we
come back.
Speaker 9 (20:00):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
I didn't play this during swamp watch. We got sidetracked
to doing other stuff. But Scott Jennings is one of
those political commentators on CNN more conservative. He and David
Urban are probably the two conservative more conservative voices that
you hear there. And he was talking about why Kamala Harris,
the Harris Walls ticket generally is pulling poorer or poor lee,
(20:29):
I should say, with men, and why there has been
such a gender gap when it comes to political discussions lately.
This was Scott Jennings yesterday on CNN.
Speaker 13 (20:38):
They're struggling with I mean the front page of the
New York Times this morning, Democrats struggling with African American voters,
particularly African American man. This gender gap issue is real.
It's a real problem, and you see the Democrats reacting
to it, and I think what they are now finally
in October the election coming to realize is that a
lot of men think Democrats care more about dudes who
(20:59):
want to become women and dudes who just want to
be well. No, and no hunting costplay or cringey videos
is going to change if the bed.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Is made referring the hunting cosplays referring to Tim Walls
in the pheasant hunting video.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
That came out this weekend from the campaign.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Well, Europe, they say, is at the forefront of the
worldwide baby shortage. Europe's overall populations shrank during the pandemic
is on track to contract by about forty million by
twenty to fifty. They've been trying to give parents or
parents that they want to become parents, benefits like cheap childcare,
(21:38):
extra vacation, free fertility treatments. Some places are offering one
hundred and fifty grand and cheap loans, subsidized minivans, a
lifetime exemption from income taxes just to make some babies.
It's not just Europe, and it's not just US, it's
also China and Russia.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Now they it seems like China and Russia would prefer
to have babies because they need people. They need labor,
they need soldiers, they need that. I mean that they're
looking at it more as a commodity than any sort
of cultural expansion. Perhaps, But Europe and other demographically challenged
(22:20):
economies in Asia, like South Korea and Singapore, they've been
pushing back against the demographic tide with parental benefits. Like
you said, falling fertility has persisted among nearly all age groups,
all incomes, all education, levels, and those who have many
children often say that they would have had them even
(22:41):
without the benefits, but those who don't say the benefits
don't make enough of a difference.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Yeah, you have to really want to have kids.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
You can't hold money at the problem and say we'll
pay you to do this.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Well, we see that in other industrialized places where you
do get a certain strumental prostitution.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
The way to put it here, Kamala Harrison Donald Trump
both have their own plans. She wants to offer a
six thousand dollars baby bonus. Trump has floated free in
vitro and tax deductions for parents.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
The free in vitro.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
That's smart though, in free and vitro, because when you
look at who is having babies, everyone's having them later.
They're not having them at twenty two and twenty four,
they're having them at thirty two, thirty four, thirty six,
And that it's harder to conceive. It's harder to conceive,
there's a not everybody has the money for in vitro.
There's a greater likelihood of potential problems, health problems, whatever.
(23:36):
The thing about in vitro is it's very expensive, like
you're saying, and I'm curious to see what kind of
a bill that.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Would bring to the government. Government.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Right, But you know, making a baby the old fashioned
way is usually free, is it real? Well, I mean,
like nothing is ever free, Gary, True, there are probably
some dinners that go into that, but and got to.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Take out a couple of times before you put the
baby inside.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Probably a couple of dinners. Dating by Shannon Hey, that was.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Your dating guide, not mine. I just bottom lined it
for you.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Hungry is being held up as a as a model
for some of this. Both Hungry and Norway spend three percent,
more than three percent of their gross domestic product on
their different approaches to promoting families. That's more than the
amounts that they spend on their militaries.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Do you know what it's called the promoting of the
baby making? Uh, it's called it's called pro natalism.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Oh, it's called get it on. No you know, not.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
All never mind, go on, No, I will not give
you my ted talk not all babies. What what were
you going to say, Well, it's not about sex, it's
about creating a family, Gary, Is that what it is?
More needs to go into it than just you want
to have some booty booty.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Maybe that's why that the message is not being heard.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
If we just minimized it to having sex booty booty
body booty booty, booty booty by booty booty, booty booty.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
What booty booty booty boom.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Just saying, is this what they want to get rid of?
Is there's some people that want to get rid of
birth control. I don't know anybody who wants to get
rid of it.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
I don't know either.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Well, I know as I hear the narrative on my
uh on my algorithms.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Give me if if I would absolutely have a conversation
with someone who wanted to get rid of birth control,
I don't know why I would too.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I would have a conversation with anybody who's trying to
force somebody who doesn't want to have kids to have kids.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Because that's the last person that should have kids. Well,
they would tell you not to do the thing that
would give you the kids, the sex. Yeah, so you
just don't have sex. You know, it's awful. I don't know.
The it's just weird. I mean, where do we go
from here?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Are we okay with the baby shortage or what's the endgame?
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Well, I mean part of us, part of the population,
is fine with the fact that we don't have we're
not replacing ourselves that two point one percent rate that
is needed to keep the population steady because they want
to depopulate. They want fewer people on the Earth because
they believe that we're straining the resources of the mother
(26:29):
planet Gaya. And if that's the case, then they're probably
happy that we're not replacing ourselves. But then again, we
all know people who have like five or eight or
ten kids. Yeah, and I replaced myself. I feel like
I check my box.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
I'm good. I don't need to replace myself. Nobody's asking
for that, not one.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Nobody wants it, not even a half of a person.
Well s not trending. When we come back.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
You can always hear live on KFI AM six forty
nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday, and
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio ap
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.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Gary, we had the same exact setup with the trap
below the kitchen sink and everything go down to home depot.
You buy the full attachment that goes on the indo
your hose, eat it into the pipe, turn on the water.
It expands and it blasts the cold blog bluckage out
of there.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Yeah, but they'll save a fortune, Yeah, and make an
absolute mess.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
I've seen those before, I've seen them used before, and
they just caused.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I can see the look on your wife's face overseeing
the project.
Speaker 5 (00:38):
Gary.
Speaker 6 (00:38):
You get a home depot to the tool section and
you rent not a industrial snake.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Not a bad idea.
Speaker 6 (00:47):
They're really not that hard to work with. You do
it a couple of times a year and run everything
and it's kind of a maintenance plan. We've done it
in the past. It's not that intimate dating. I know
you're very competent.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (01:04):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 8 (01:05):
See here my two cents.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
How many feet do you think you need?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
I think it's probably I would say minimum seventy five
feet Okay, I've.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Got a seventy foot here drain cleaner for four hours
at sixty seven dollars.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
That would save you a fortune. That would save a
lot of money.
Speaker 9 (01:22):
Gary.
Speaker 7 (01:22):
Hey, Shannon, I work construction. I can tell you right now,
one hundred foot snake. You're looking at about four to
five four to get a decent one.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
That's if it's weeks.
Speaker 7 (01:31):
I can eighty foot that I usually use. Those are
running anywhere from six to about fifteen hundred dollars. Home depot,
by the way, just call a plumber and get it done.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I did home depot. You can run it for four hours.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
It goes up for as much time as you have
it for, right, but for four hours if you get
it done, which would be quick.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
But that's the longest. Is seventy foot that they seventy
five foot? No, they have one hundred foot one.
Speaker 10 (01:55):
Good morning, guys, Welcome back, Shannon, go niners. Yeah, this
is James the plumber of plumbing here.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (02:01):
Plumbing is are one of those great, great, great great
careers where you don't have to worry about AI replacing
you robots. You have to have these very skilled professionals
come in and diagnose these problems. So yeah, it is
a great look at the business to invest in. And uh,
you guys have a great day. Keep clogging up those
journeys so you can keep getting the space.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
That See, that's what I'm doing, is I'm helping small businesses.
That's what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
That's where you're basically holding up America on your shoulders.
It's called because you believe in this country.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Off monomics. All right, it's time for swamp watch.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Swamps actually sounds better than it's.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Like a reality TV show. Was a bad due always
a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Hey Joey, a town all too clearly built on a
swamp and in so many ways still a swamps.
Speaker 9 (02:57):
A bunch of malarkey. Nobody said dream the swamp.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I said, Oh, that's so I'll keep happen.
Speaker 10 (03:03):
You know the thing.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Oh, Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump will both
be in Pennsylvania on opposite sides of the state today.
She'll be in the northwest corner of Eerie. He'll be
in the suburbs of Philly.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
A lot of attention was paid over the weekend to
some interviews that were done. One of them was a
jd Vance interview with The New York Times.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
This was about the Venezuelans and the apartments in Aurora.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Here's the thing about the generally, yes it was, I
mean he mentioned that, but that was also with Martha
Raddits from ABC. But there's there's a thing that we've
seen that I've seen a lot of reaction to when
it comes to JD Vance, which is, I mean, you
said it after the debate that he had with Tim Walls.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
That's not the same guy that I thought he was.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Jade Vance is a well spoken, well thought out guy. Again,
you don't have to agree with his politics, but you
gotta admit he's a different person than what was than
the image that had been painted of him.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
It was an exceptional debate performance, and I realized that
he is practiced at going on all these shows and
doing the interviews and having the thoughts and the points
ready to pull up, certainly more than Tim Walls has.
But yeah, I was impressed with the way he was
able to articulate their positions and speak like a human.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I didn't like that he called Bob Woodward a hack. Well,
it's that he has a hard.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Time sometimes He won't admit that Trump lost the twenty
twenty election.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I understand why he's not doing it, but it's one
of those things that's an easily avoidable mistake. Now, he
was on ABC's This Week Is This Week and I
don't remember what the sun it was ABC's This Is
with Martha Raddisy and the Sunday Morning Show, and she
was asking about that discussion about immigrants taking over apartment
(04:57):
complexes in Aurora colliber.
Speaker 11 (05:00):
We're limited to a handful of apartment complex apartment complexes,
and the mayor said, our dedicated police officers have acted
on those concerns a handful of problems.
Speaker 12 (05:13):
Only, Martha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of
apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs.
And Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris's
open border.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Americans are so.
Speaker 12 (05:26):
Fed up with what's going on, and they have every
right to be. And I really find this exchange, Martha
is sort of interesting because you seem to be more
focused with nitpicking everything that Donald Trump has said, rather
than acknowledging that apartment complexes in the United States of
America are being taken over by violent gangs now.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
And that's all he had to say. He didn't have
to get into any of the details. He didn't have
to because Martha Raddis was the one who kind of
set that up and said it's only a couple of
apartment complexes that are being.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
That was a dumb thing for her to say.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
But I'm if you want to Nippick, go back in
time and look at all the apartment complexes that have
been taken over by gangs in this country.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
This is not a new problem.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Look at Kabrini Green, Okay, like places that have been
shut down because violent gangs have overcome them. This isn't
just a Venezuelan immigrants, illegal immigration thing. This is just
the way apartment buildings work sometimes in poor areas.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
This was one of the interviews that was done and
there's going to be a new push, I think for
these next couple of weeks where Kamala Harris is going
to continue this media blitz that she started last week,
and among other things, she's sitting down with Fox News
coming up on Wednesday, She's going to sit down with
Brett Baer for what would be a longer form interview.
(06:46):
I don't think they're going to let him, sorry, let
her get away with any of the answers that sixty minutes.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Let her get over it for her to go on
Fox News.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
I mean that is yeah, because you're absolutely right, you're
not going to get the sixty minutes treatment there. I
will watch what times at a three pm our time
on Special Report.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Okay, coming up next.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
It looks like Biden's staff and Kamala Harris's staff are
at each other's throats.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
That's the weirdest palace intrigue story I saw over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Well you heard the same thing with Biden's people and
Obama's people. And then earlier on in the administration, Tim Kates.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Has had a lot of coffee.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
He's in a long week, long couple of weeks, and
he's just howling like a freaking wolf in the hallways.
But yeah, you kind of heard about the consternation between
the staffs, and I wonder how common that is. It
sounds like it's pretty common in Washington because everyone's cutthroat
and looking to get ahead.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
They're just in it for themselves. Yeah, all right, swamp
Watch continues.
Speaker 9 (07:45):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Do you know how the Jeopardy questions have been just
very underwhelming, Like today's what is the three word example?
For drugs that are not prescription? It's over the counter, right,
It's just stupid, just stupid stuff. I've decided I'm gonna
come up up with my own Jeopardy questions for you
every day.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Okay, here's today's. Oh, do you want me to play
the thing? Yeah? Me warm up to it though.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Which Pitcher holds the MLB record for consecutive scoreless innings pitched?
It was fifty nine consecutive innings. And I'll give you
a hint. No, you don't want to hint, Oral Hirschheiser.
See how fun this is going to be.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I'm having fun. I'm having fun. I am having a
lot of fun. I do have good news.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
By the way, Hey Gary, a snake has had something
to jack around with. You pay a guy to do it.
I mean, it's cheap enough, and you can do a
lot of damage with that snake. If you don't know
what you're doing, it's well worth what you'll pay to
have it done. Take care.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Everything's fine. I can it's been done, project completed, very
reasonable price. And like I said, from the time I
called to the time it was complete, it was seventy
five minutes. That's not days. Seventy five minutes, no mess.
So I'll give a shout out to my friends at
(09:21):
Shellback Plumbing. That's a rack because they did a great job.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
When I said it takes a while, I was thinking
about the heating. Air people sometimes like your heating and
your air will go out right the first time you
use it because you haven't use it for.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
A while, and it's one hundred and nineteen and it's
one hundred and.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Nineteen degrees and they're like, sorry, Moose outfront, should have
told you to call three months ago, Dumbassuh yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yeah, So all right, there's a there's a there's weird
palace intrigue going on, and the I can understand there
being conflict. If you have a president who is not
running for president running for reelection and a vice president
who is, you're going to have some political division inside
(10:08):
that administration, and there.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Is you can.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Ascribe different motivations for it. Some in this Palace Intrigue novel,
it's that Joe Biden is upset that Democrats in general
forced him off of the top of the ticket, and
he's taking it out on the woman who replaced him,
his own vice president.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
He's appeared to undercut Harris at least four times in
recent weeks. During these critical final stages of the election.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
He made a.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Surprise White House briefing room appearance during one of her
rallies and praised ron DeSantis' response to the hurricanes, while
at the same time she was saying that DeSantis was
playing politics with the storms. Now there's a new report
from Axios with quotes from ten anonymous insiders that say
(11:03):
resentment from bruised Biden aids has led to friction.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Yeah, do they have time for friction? Do they have
time to spend a lot of oxygen on feeling negative
towards the Harris campaign?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Harris, I don't believe it's a let's work together atmosphere
in DC. Harris aids claim that the Biden team is
deliberately not working with them, so they're too much in
their feelings. A Harris ally says of Biden's team, Well,
(11:40):
that is true. Trump is talking about it, talking about
the relationship between Biden and Harris, says he can't stand
her for one simple reason. She overthrew him, but smartly,
he says, but she didn't do what the party did. Yeah,
Kamala Harris had like nothing to do with this. This
was Nancy Pelosi heavyweights.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Kamala Harris.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
To to quote Senator John Kennedy from an interview I
saw this morning, Kamala Harris was polling about as well
as punching kittens. I mean, her favorability rating in say, April,
May and June of this year was very, very low.
And remember Democrats themselves, I mean, the party did not
even elevate her to be close to.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
The nominee.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
When twenty twenty rolled around, she was out before the
Iowa Caucasus. And that's not to say that she can't
be the nominee now, but it's a very quick turnaround
from what she was polling earlier in the year to
what she is right now. The other thing is she's
raised a billion dollars. Did you see that headline last week?
(12:46):
She's raised a billion dollars since she got into the
race at the end of July and is still tied.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Wow, think about it.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I mean, that's picked up the polls. I read this morning,
he's picked up some steam.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
He's picked up steam.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
He's picked up steam in different places that were unexpected,
whether it's Latino votes or black men, because that became
such an issue last week. I mean, the fact that
they're tied blows my mind. And it's only going to
get I mean, is what to this three weeks.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Weird thing going on on my street?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
So in my neighborhood, I should say, along the street
that I drive to get home, there were a couple
Harris Walls signs, just maybe two or three homes that
had them sporadically along the main drag.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
And then in the.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Past week, for every Harris Wall sign there's a Trump
Fans sign. I was thinking at first, our people around
here just don't want to be out and proud with
their their Trump support. And I think there's this weird
thing going on where those Harris Wall signs were out
there three weeks ago, and within the past week the
(13:58):
Trump fan signs of all gone up, and now it's
fifty to fifty on the same stretch of neighborhood. I
don't have a lot, and they're all it's all hopscotch,
which is oh, I beckon wild?
Speaker 4 (14:12):
What house is one and the next house is the other,
and vice versa all the way down.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Up next, an amazing moment yesterday that if you haven't
seen the video, it did not look real when I
saw it. We caught a rocket. We caught a rocket.
We'll talk about what happened with SpaceX yesterday.
Speaker 9 (14:33):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
Am six forty.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
A couple NASA spacecraft has actually blasted off on a
journey to explore Jupiter's moon Europa and talk about what
kind of hidden ocean might hold the keys to life there.
SpaceX launched the Europa Clipper today from the Kennedy Space Center.
It's going to take five and a half years for
Clipper to reach Jupiter, and once there, it will orbit
the giant planet, getting close to Europa during dozens of flybys.
(15:01):
Five point two billion dollar mission. They said it's not
looking for life, but rather the conditions necessary for it.
Scientists say they're almost certain that there's a pretty deep
ocean that exists beneath the icy crust that is Europa.
But speaking of Florida and Cape Canaveral and the whole
Space coast down there.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Oh, let me play.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
That SpaceX has executed a complicated landing procedure for one
of its rockets. One of the boosters on the Starship
spacecraft successfully flew back to the launch site and was
caught by giant metal arms what the company calls chopsticks
super Happy Easter. The Starship itself splashed down in the
(15:42):
Indian Ocean. Blue Origin, a competing private space company, stood
down a planned launch around the same time, siting a
GPS issue. Mike Debaski, ABC.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
News, So the video itself, incredible, was pretty dramatic, and
it was great to hear everybody cheer that thing like
it was a Super Bowl victory. I mean, they were
so excited because again, as Kate Tye, she was the
SpaceX manager of Quality Systems Engineering, during the live commentary,
she said, it's insane. On our first ever attempt, we
(16:14):
have successfully caught the super heavy booster back at the
launch tower. Another one who is a SpaceX guy who
was actually at the launch site said, are you kidding me?
Even in this day and age, what we just saw
that looked like magic Because this super heavy rocket, the
booster catch was not the only goal for this flight five.
(16:35):
And again this is the big version. This is not
the Falcon rockets that go off for the Falcon capsules.
SpaceX is aimed to send starships upper stage known as
star Ship, to space and then bring it back to
Earth with the splashdown in the Indian Ocean, and that
occurred about an hour after lift off. The ship fired
(16:57):
three of its six engines to hover over the ocean
before it tipped over and exploded. They knew that that
was going to happen, and that was the better that
was the better plan. But that this starship had four
previous flights April and November of last year, and then
March and June of this year. And the thing about
this is it keeps getting better each time. The debut
(17:19):
mission lasted just four minutes. SpaceX ordered a detonation high
in Texas after the two stages failed to separate. But
flight four back in June was a complete success. It
reached orbital velocity and both the shape the ship and
the super heavy rocket survived the return to Earth, landing
in their designated splash down zones. And then that starship
(17:40):
took another leap today yesterday when it landed back when
the heavy rocket landed back in the tower, and again
the fact that it's able to maneuver. We've seen SpaceX
land their rockets back on platforms before, but this one landed,
was caught, I guess before it even lands because the
(18:00):
two arms, the chopsticks, as Mike Debusky pointed out, came
together and caught this thing before it actually hit the ground.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
If it were up.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
It was like an Elijah Moulden interception with chopsticks, wasn't it.
Simi fehoku that grab along the sideline Flight five?
Speaker 3 (18:19):
How would they catch it? I don't know. I don't know,
I don't know. Do you know that the.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Next five opponents are all teams with losing records.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I got a real chance to go on a run here.
That seems the dangerous though.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Arizona, New Orleans, Cleveland, Tennessee, and Cincinnati.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
I'd give you Tennessee. I might even give you Arizona.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Do you think anyone's gonna you think the Saints are
gonna beat anyone?
Speaker 3 (18:43):
You see? You know I saw Cleveland. Think Cleveland's gonna
beat anyone?
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Saw a documentary one time called on any given Sunday,
And you know what that means?
Speaker 3 (18:52):
So that was a movie. I was a feature of film.
This is a document and it was a documentary. So
you're saying that you like their chances.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
I just this defense is something I've never seen before
with the Chargers. It's like they have never had an
elite offense and an elite defense together in one season.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Did you talk to after the game yesterday.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Denzel Perimo? But Khalil Mack, he posted a grade of
ninety point five. That's his best mark of the season
so far. His run defense, which is really the standout.
The run defense going into this one, was ranked fourth
in the league.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
A year ago.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
It was twenty fifth two seasons before thirty second.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
So it's been like thirty second out of thirty Two's
been leaps and bounds. To watch this run defense and
the way it's been put together. My goodness.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Okay, yeah, I just you were talking about space things
and then my mind hurts, so I had to go
back to football things.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Make more babies, talk about that or not when we
come back.
Speaker 9 (20:00):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
I didn't play this during swamp watch. We got sidetracked
to doing other stuff. But Scott Jennings is one of
those political commentators on CNN more conservative. He and David
Urban are probably the two conservative more conservative voices that
you hear there. And he was talking about why Kamala Harris,
the Harris Walls ticket generally is pulling poorer or poor lee,
(20:29):
I should say, with men, and why there has been
such a gender gap when it comes to political discussions lately.
This was Scott Jennings yesterday on CNN.
Speaker 13 (20:38):
They're struggling with I mean the front page of the
New York Times this morning, Democrats struggling with African American voters,
particularly African American man. This gender gap issue is real.
It's a real problem, and you see the Democrats reacting
to it, and I think what they are now finally
in October the election coming to realize is that a
lot of men think Democrats care more about dudes who
(20:59):
want to become women and dudes who just want to
be well. No, and no hunting costplay or cringey videos
is going to change if the bed.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
Is made referring the hunting cosplays referring to Tim Walls
in the pheasant hunting video.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
That came out this weekend from the campaign.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Well, Europe, they say, is at the forefront of the
worldwide baby shortage. Europe's overall populations shrank during the pandemic
is on track to contract by about forty million by
twenty to fifty. They've been trying to give parents or
parents that they want to become parents, benefits like cheap childcare,
(21:38):
extra vacation, free fertility treatments. Some places are offering one
hundred and fifty grand and cheap loans, subsidized minivans, a
lifetime exemption from income taxes just to make some babies.
It's not just Europe, and it's not just US, it's
also China and Russia.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Now they it seems like China and Russia would prefer
to have babies because they need people. They need labor,
they need soldiers, they need that. I mean that they're
looking at it more as a commodity than any sort
of cultural expansion. Perhaps, But Europe and other demographically challenged
(22:20):
economies in Asia, like South Korea and Singapore, they've been
pushing back against the demographic tide with parental benefits. Like
you said, falling fertility has persisted among nearly all age groups,
all incomes, all education, levels, and those who have many
children often say that they would have had them even
(22:41):
without the benefits, but those who don't say the benefits
don't make enough of a difference.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Yeah, you have to really want to have kids.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
You can't hold money at the problem and say we'll
pay you to do this.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Well, we see that in other industrialized places where you
do get a certain strumental prostitution.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
The way to put it here, Kamala Harrison Donald Trump
both have their own plans. She wants to offer a
six thousand dollars baby bonus. Trump has floated free in
vitro and tax deductions for parents.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
The free in vitro.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
That's smart though, in free and vitro, because when you
look at who is having babies, everyone's having them later.
They're not having them at twenty two and twenty four,
they're having them at thirty two, thirty four, thirty six,
And that it's harder to conceive. It's harder to conceive,
there's a not everybody has the money for in vitro.
There's a greater likelihood of potential problems, health problems, whatever.
(23:36):
The thing about in vitro is it's very expensive, like
you're saying, and I'm curious to see what kind of
a bill that.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
Would bring to the government. Government.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Right, But you know, making a baby the old fashioned
way is usually free, is it real? Well, I mean,
like nothing is ever free, Gary, True, there are probably
some dinners that go into that, but and got to.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Take out a couple of times before you put the
baby inside.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Probably a couple of dinners. Dating by Shannon Hey, that was.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Your dating guide, not mine. I just bottom lined it
for you.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Hungry is being held up as a as a model
for some of this. Both Hungry and Norway spend three percent,
more than three percent of their gross domestic product on
their different approaches to promoting families. That's more than the
amounts that they spend on their militaries.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Do you know what it's called the promoting of the
baby making? Uh, it's called it's called pro natalism.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Oh, it's called get it on. No you know, not.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
All never mind, go on, No, I will not give
you my ted talk not all babies. What what were
you going to say, Well, it's not about sex, it's
about creating a family, Gary, Is that what it is?
More needs to go into it than just you want
to have some booty booty.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Maybe that's why that the message is not being heard.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
If we just minimized it to having sex booty booty
body booty booty, booty booty by booty booty, booty booty.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
What booty booty booty boom.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Just saying, is this what they want to get rid of?
Is there's some people that want to get rid of
birth control. I don't know anybody who wants to get
rid of it.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
I don't know either.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Well, I know as I hear the narrative on my
uh on my algorithms.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Give me if if I would absolutely have a conversation
with someone who wanted to get rid of birth control,
I don't know why I would too.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I would have a conversation with anybody who's trying to
force somebody who doesn't want to have kids to have kids.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Because that's the last person that should have kids. Well,
they would tell you not to do the thing that
would give you the kids, the sex. Yeah, so you
just don't have sex. You know, it's awful. I don't know.
The it's just weird. I mean, where do we go
from here?
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Are we okay with the baby shortage or what's the endgame?
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Well, I mean part of us, part of the population,
is fine with the fact that we don't have we're
not replacing ourselves that two point one percent rate that
is needed to keep the population steady because they want
to depopulate. They want fewer people on the Earth because
they believe that we're straining the resources of the mother
(26:29):
planet Gaya. And if that's the case, then they're probably
happy that we're not replacing ourselves. But then again, we
all know people who have like five or eight or
ten kids. Yeah, and I replaced myself. I feel like
I check my box.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
I'm good. I don't need to replace myself. Nobody's asking
for that, not one.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Nobody wants it, not even a half of a person.
Well s not trending. When we come back.
