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. I have a theory about this
Christmas tree, and I'm using Christmas in quotes. This is
a tree brought in by a fantastic home decor company.
It's a very expensive tree. It's pink. It's cotton candy pink.
(00:24):
It's bright pink, it's rose gold. It is as you said,
it gave you a cavity right when you walk in
one of the featured ornaments. And now when I say ornament,
I mean huge. It's huge these ornaments. It's a ice
cream cone and it's about oh, I would say it's
(00:45):
fourteen inches by four inches. It's a big ornament. And
there's about ten of them on this tree. And they're
about eighty four dollars apiece. That's neither here nor there.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I have.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
My theory is.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
This is big tobacco. Big Tobacco.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Has come up with these massive ice cream cone ornaments
to make us think of ice cream, to make us
want more ice cream. That we just talked about the
ultra processed foods and the industry and the way they
get into your brain with just the packaging and the
(01:24):
color of the.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Box, even the sound, the.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Bliss points, the sounds, the cyber marketing or whatever they
called asonic marketing.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
And I think that.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
They've now gotten into Christmas and they're coming up with
these massive ice cream cone ornaments that are all the
rage to make, to put ice cream on the brain,
because I haven't stopped thinking about ice cream since we
walked in here. And yesterday we talked about ice cream
and you said it's like when you take two bites
of ice cream, you can't stop.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
They because of.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
The sugar and the salt and the fat. And now
they've infiltrated our trees.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
So without looking at it, don't look over there. What
kind of ice cream do you want right now?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I want?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Okay, what I want when because I don't look at
me because of the sprinkles.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I want that like cake batter ice cream.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Yeah, I was going to say that the old Baskin
Robbins bubblegum ice cream.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I never liked that one. It was too sweet for me.
But you think this tree is not giving sweet batter.
My roommate in college, Kim, her mom Jerry, used to
make these cake batter cookies and send them to us
in the dorms. Cake if you ever had a cake
batter cookie, you know what, I'm going to get the
(02:43):
recipe and I'm going to make you some because they
are incredible, but you can't stop eating them.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
There Where are you looking at? Are you trying to
do news or no?
Speaker 6 (02:53):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
No, I was just trying to focus on sentencing. I see,
because the more you talk about cake batter cookies, the
less attention I'm going to pay to anything until I
get a cake batter curry.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, I'll stop talking about it till I find the recipe.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
The man accused of killing nursing student Lake and Riley
has been found guilty on all ten counts against him.
They are giving witness statements right now in the sentencing.
The judge has said that he's already ready to sentence,
but we are getting some of the victim's statements. The
families of Lake and family members of Lake and Riley.
The US Embassy in Kiev has temporarily closed its doors
(03:30):
out of an abundance of caution. They said in a
statement that the Embassy recommends US citizens in Ukraine be
prepared to immediately shelter in the event an air alert
is announced. Also along those lines, President Biden has authorized
the provision of anti personnel land minds to Ukraine. They
say that's going to bolster Keev's defenses against Russian troops
(03:52):
as they advance in But it is pretty controversial considering
more than one hundred and sixty countries have signed an
international treaty ban the use of anti personnel lines, noting
the weapons can cause enduring harm to civilians when they're
left there. Speaking of Ukraine and Russia and all of
the latest Brian suits, host of The Dark Secret Place
(04:13):
is going to join us late in the show today
and talk more about this.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Great that'll be fun to hear from him.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Okay, So La Police are asking for all of our
help to find additional victims of two people who have
gotten a ticket for straight to Hell. They have been
kidnapping and robbing elderly victims. They say that this went
on for six months, six month crime spree from June
to November. They were operating across the city South La
(04:41):
Boyle Heights, MacArthur Park. They have been identified and apprehended,
but they believe that these people victimized many more people
we don't even know about.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Yeah, they're mo is. They would walk up or drive up.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Sorry, in about a mid twenty tens gray Ford focus hatchback.
They get out of the car and they engage with
one of these victims, elderly victim, and then claim that
they're affiliated with a local church to try to put
the victims at.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Ease, using church for evil.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
One of the suspects then gets out of the car,
threatens the victim with physical violence or a handgun.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Forces them into the vehicle, drives them to another location
where they demand money or jewelry, continue to threaten to
hurt them if they don't comply.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Detectives said they were eventually able to identify the suspects
in their vehicle. Two were arrested sometime this month, and
just yesterday police released two images of the vehicle used
in the kidnappings and robberies and hopes they could find
additional victims that may not have been contacted. They might
see what's going on and come forward. Yeah, that's just
(05:47):
straight to hell.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Straight to hell. You're robbing old people under the guise
of God, telling them your church. In front of the
eyes of God, he sees everything Anyways, he sees everything.
He's watching you right now. Yeah, yeah, he knows what
I'm thinking about. Those cookies, cake, better cookies. We have
a nice story coming up this hour.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
I doubt it. It just seems like they're such bad news.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
You're just going to be in a bad mood until
you get cookies. There are cookies down the hall that
could suffice till I get the recipe.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
They come in a paper bag, plastic bag. What do
you mean, cookies?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
There's cookie There's a famous amus cookies down there that
you can eat ultra processed.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Yeah, but I've seen you put down several bags of them,
old doc before.

we've got no friends.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Well, are we down really rented?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
We kind of don't.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
We read to Amy in the morning show and then
we rent Debora while she hangs out with John.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
I mean, you're making it sound weird, like we're renting women.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
All sounds like Amy's wearing her adult Disney outfit today
and I would like to rent Inchras.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Please be careful you might get evicted.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Oh damn, too soon soon.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Last night we did the wrap party for the adult
theater show for the Matchmaker, and we ate on stage
every night. I don't know if you could see that,
but it was real food that they brought out.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Eating real food, and you you you didn't waste a lot.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
Well there was I mean watching there wasn't a lot
of food on the plate.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
That was it.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
I mean they bring out a chicken every night, and
you attacked that chicken. Well, I'm supposed to be a gruss.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I know, I'm just giving you a hard time.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Can feel bad about my eating.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Sorry, I was in character, I know, I know.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
But they had cranberry sauce as part of the meal
every night. Oh that's cool, which was funny because I
as they bought it. You know, They're like, we're not
going to go for the expensive stuff. We're just going
to get the jelly cranberry sauce that comes out of
a jar, and I was like, that is that's because
that's the only kind, that's the absolute best kind. So
(09:21):
one of the women who was responsible for the food
every night brought me a full jar of jelly.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Cranberry sauce as a gift, which I thought was, well.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
That's nice. Is that the woman whose hands you hold
for twenty minutes?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
No?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Very funny?
Speaker 5 (09:35):
I so, okay, can we do this here?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah, we can take this here.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
We did an complete segment on ice cream ornaments.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Last are you caught up on shrinking?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
No?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
I didn't watch the one that dropped last night.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Just came out last night. I don't want to blow
anything for it, but I have this conversation that was
really very okay because it stems from your in the play,
I hold the hand of Dolly Gallagher at the end
of Finally ask her to marry me after she's been
badgering me for the entire play to marry her.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I don't know why you have to hold her hand
for that long?
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Okay, easy, dear, It was just weird.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Listen, sweetie, Sometimes daddy's fall in love with other mommies.
I don't like it, but I had that I said
that to my wife. I said that we had this
discussion and that you were like, it was weird for
you to see me holding a hand of somebody who's
not my wife. Yeah, And I thought that was nice
and it was a that's good. I think that's an
actual that's a positive thing. You you envisioned me with
(10:40):
my wife, and that's the way it should be. So
there's a new that we were watching a television show
and again I'm not going to tell you which one,
but we were watching a television show where a woman
kisses another guy who's not her husband after they'd been
hanging out for a while.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
And is it the neighbor with that guy Mac?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, Now it's gonna make me very uncomfortable.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
It is, And it was that's the whole point of it.
Like she realizes in the moment, like what am I?
What's happening? And runs away. Then she goes to Harrison
Ford's character and says, what do I do? And he's like,
you either tell him or you don't. Your husband, you
tell him or you don't. If you don't tell him,
you live with your guilt for the rest of your life.
(11:24):
If I mean, if it's that big of a deal
and if you if you do tell him, then now
he knows, and that starts a whole other thing, like
there's two paths and neither one of them is a
great path. So then my wife says, at the end
of the show, would you tell me if you kissed
somebody else?
Speaker 4 (11:43):
And I go and I'm you got mad?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I know mad?
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Yeah, Well wait a minute, would you tell me if
you kissed another dude? And then she was like, well,
I mean, I don't know, probably not because look at
your reaction to this, and it's just a hypothetical.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
I mean there was a good fifteen minutes there. I
was pretty heated.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Well in that vein.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I will say that I have asked you a couple
times if your adult theater called for you.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
To do that, right, So then that also came up
and I said, well, I don't think I would even
take a role. I mean, we're saying this is how
apparently we have nothing else to talk about it. I say,
you guys really noticed that the mood Russian our teeth
getting ready for bed. And I was like, but I
probably wouldn't do a role where that was called for,
and she'd be like, I don't care. Wait here's the thing, man,
(12:38):
she had very specific rules about who the other person
could be.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
I would knife somebody probably probably.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I'm trying to think if my my husband did theater,
like when he was in high school. Sure, I'm trying
to think he.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Grew out of it, is what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
No, and uh, I'm trying to think what I would
think about that if he did that for a role.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Yeah, you know, and it probably depends on the I
have a silkwood scrub his face.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Right, there's that. There's the what's what are how how
intimate is this thing?
Speaker 3 (13:17):
God intimate?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Ah, no, you guys really know how to set the
mood in that house from from watching e Er where
the baby dies of the rape victim right before your
son is born.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Well, do you remember also the movie I want to
say it was Demi Moore.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Oh indecent proposal, Yes, that's what it was.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
I was gonna say million dollar proposal, but I mean
it was Robert Redford, right, That's I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Everyone forgets that.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Everyone's like, oh, would you you know Woody Allen right
is the right not Woody Allen, Woody Harrelson Harrels, and
he is.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I've had Diane Keaton on the Brain.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Woody Harrelson and he there is a young couple and
there's Strappedford and Robert the older guy says, I'll give
you a million dollars if I get to have one
night with your wife, right, and like that's the question,
Like that's the moral dilemma. But no one ever tosses
in the sprinkles that the guy she's gonna have sex
with is Robert Redford in like Hot Times.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
I don't know about Hot Time.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Oh he was very good look Even me at eight
years old knew he was good looking.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
I remember watching that movie and then having that discussion
with my then girlfriend where I.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Was like, well, what do you have a price? Is
there a price on this? Whoa? How do you?
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Is this a thing that people think about and they
would be approached with and have a price.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
And I remember being really upset about that too.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I mean, look at Robert Redford on this, I mean,
come on, you would do that for ten bucks? That
that's the movie poster. I mean, that's like the height
of y. I mean, he's what in his fifties there,
maybe maybe sixty.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
No, what year was this?
Speaker 5 (14:58):
It would have been nineteen three, two ninety two to
three something like that.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
It was.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Ninety three ninety three.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Okay, so I'll do a quick math here, brought Robert Redford.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
But that that was a funny conversation. It became one
of those things where and then it would keep coming
back up.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
He was fifty fifty six. Okay, Yeah, that's a good
look in fifty six. All right, keep it in your pants.
Oh you're the one.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
You're the one kissing women.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
I didn't wait, no, no.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
I had it.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Turns out your wife doesn't even care.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
All right.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
SpaceX flew its latest test flight of its starship Mega
Rocket yesterday. Trump actually joined Elon Musk to witness this
spectacle firsthand. But a problem with the original plan to
catch that first stage rocket with the large tower and
the chopstick like they've done before, so the first age
actually had to be steered towards the otherwise normal splash
(16:06):
down out in the Gulf of Mexico.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Do you love a Christmas story? Probably not one of
your favorite movies?
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Why not?
Speaker 6 (16:13):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I thought you were more of like a Snoopies Christmas
person or something.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
I like it. It's up there.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Top five fans of a Christmas story have a place
to stay in Oklahoma. Ralphie's Christmas House stands near a
fifty foot tall replica of the famous leg lamp that
was built in chickashaw am I, saying that right to
draw visitors. The two story airbnb was built in nineteen thirty,
remodeled in twenty twenty three. It's got four bedrooms can
(16:43):
sleep up to ten. You can google Ralphie's House online
to make reservations and see pictures.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Didn't we see Ralphie's house in Cleveland? It was part
of the story was that we drove right by it.
At one point, I'm going to dinner with John and Ken, I.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Think, But that's all fake news. None of that is fake.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
We were in a car with John and Ken going
to Oh, Okay, we're going to a dinner with Okay,
they will be there, got it.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Yeah, we were never in a car. They would never
send a car I know.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I was like, I've never sat in a car with
John or Ken.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
They would.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
If we hailed a tax I'd open the doors for us,
let us get in, and then send it on its way.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
A second one, if I saw John driving a car,
I would vacate that particular freeway. In fact, the man
has to put in his home address into the GPS
every night.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Yeah, trying to find it Cleveland.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
The La City Council did as we expected yesterday and
adopted this sanctuary City ordinance to prohibit the use of
city resources or staff for federal immigration enforcement efforts. Passed
through a thirteen to nothing vote yesterday afternoon, after the
drafting was approved by the council more than a year ago.
(18:00):
This month, the effort to officially establish and enforce this
new sanctuary city ordinance got new momentum, of course, after
the election did not turn out the way the La
City Council wanted it to. With Trump winning, the president
elect has confirmed that he is prepared to declare a
national emergency for federal law enforcement efforts when it comes
(18:24):
to deportation of illegal immigrants. Last week, the city leader
said that they were working to fast track a vote
on this policy. Mayor Karen Bass in fact said I
stand with the people of this city. She said, the
moment demands urgency. Some immigrant rights activists have criticized the
prior resolution, which formally declared La as sanctuary city in
(18:46):
twenty nineteen as symbolic rather than any sort of enforceable
safeguard for residents. So this new ordinance bans the city's
collection of information on anyone's individual immigration status and would
are a city employee from notifying any federal agent or
authority about the release or detention of immigrants in the
(19:07):
US illegally.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
This will be a curious thing.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
I know that incoming LAPD chief or new LAPD Chief
Jim McDonald has talked about this and that the LPD
isn't changing its policies regarding this.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
But it'll be curious to see if there's.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
Any room for movement when it comes to the LAPD's policies.
This still has to then be voted again, I believe,
before it is officially signed into the city Charter or
the city law by mayor baths.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Would you like your jeopardy question? Are we doing that today?
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Celebrities for one thousand dollars in two thousand and three.
He began his record setting long run as an SNL
regular cast member.
Speaker 5 (19:54):
In two thousand and three. Yeah, who is Keenan Thompson? Yes,
good job, the longest serving castman.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Crazy right, I did not know that the holidays are
here at the Disneyland Resort, KFI wants to give you
the chance to enjoy the wonder, joy and magic of
the season experience World of Color, Season of Light and
Nighttime Spectacular at Disney California Adventure Park, or over at

(20:23):
and so much more. Keep listening to KFI for your
chance to win a four pack of one day one
park tickets to Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park.
Speaker 4 (20:33):
Let's do that good news story when we come back.
Oh yes, I do have a good news story.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
This is about a World War Two veteran, a local
one at that, celebrating a milestone and her.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Service. The details of that when we come back.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Let me do the quick thing to throw in here,
only because I just saw this. Alex Jones is now
fighting back against the sale of the Info Wars website
to the Onion. He filed a lawsuit in bankruptcy court
saying that several Sandy Hook families and the apparent company
of the Onion, called Global Tetrahedron, submitted an illegitimate bid
(21:14):
for the assets of the Info Wars of site and
parent company and planned to misuse the intellectual property. Last
week we told you the Onion said they were going
to buy it.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
They're going to set it up shady legal type of
last ditch hail Mary type thing.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Yeah, and the fact that he filed it, they were
already saying it's a win for Alex Jones. Well, you
and I could file a lawsuit for anything, for any reason,
at any time. That does not mean you're going to win it.
It doesn't even just because the court is going to
hear it doesn't necessarily mean that you're anywhere close to
a victory. For the first time in more than two decades,
(21:52):
New York City is under a drought warning. This is
the last step before a disaster declaration that would impose
mandatory water restriction.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
We talked about New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Most of New Jersey under drought conditions with those fires.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
They said, unusually dry weather has been plaguing a lot
of the United States for most of the fall, but
most of it, but it is most noticeable in the Northeast.
They've lowered reservoirs, they've wildfires have been in New York
and New Jersey states, and accustomed to these fires at
this time of year.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Roughly eleven percent of Americans have high cholesterol.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
That sounds low, doesn't it? Eleven percent?
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Yeah, well, cholesterol also gets a bad rap. I mean,
it's not necessarily good or bad, right, It's not bad
for it, it's it's it's a necessary part of what's
in your body.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah, that's all. That's all I know, Thank you doctor. Okay,
So we have a good story to tell you about.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Oh wait one.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
Dayankee, Oh hey Gary, last night blind mismss movie watch

Speaker 3 (23:24):
You're asking me to pray for your soul. You are
in dire straits.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
That's likely hell quite the hail Mary?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
That is it? Sure is my goodness. That's one receiver
with six d backs and the.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
End zones starts like this, Dear God, you don't know me.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
I'm Shannon. I mean not theologically correct, but.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I know, you made everyone, but somebody took over the
job one day and I came out.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
All right. So the good story.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Jennifer McMullen has celebrated a huge milestone her one hundredth birthday.
She's from Whittier and she has had a remarkable life.
She played a pivotal role in World War Two, of course,
part of the iconic Rosie the Riveter movement. She said,
(24:28):
we worked on just sections of the airplane, a lot
of wings. During the war, Jennifer moved from Ohio to California.
One hundred year old woman named Jennifer. That's interesting, I
noticed that too. That's a maybe one of the first Jennifer's.
I don't know about the first one, she said. During
(24:49):
the Wars, she moved from Ohio to California, and at
just eighteen years old, she joined the war effort. She
worked the graveyard shift with an all female workforce at
Lockheed Aircraft Plant in Burbank.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Could you imagine a puppetry major at NYU at the
age of eighteen signing up to help the war effort
in the event that that happened.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Now, No, that wouldn't happen. Well, some of them would, but.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I don't think that Jennifer was ever a puppetry fan,
and certainly not someone who would go to NYU probably,
she said. The interesting thing was that they had camouflaged
the entire Lockheed plant with a tarp on top, and
it looked like a town because they painted fire, hydrants
and flowers to make it look real, she says, And
it was really us underneath the tarp working away at
(25:37):
the rivets.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
She didn't actually see the planes.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
She worked on the wings, as she said, while she
worked on airplanes, her husband Melvin was serving overseas. He
was flying in the planes that Rosy built as part
of an all volunteer group known as the Flying Tigers PS.
I would watch this movie about this couple, wouldn't you.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
He described that he was a nose turret gunner on
a B twenty four bomber stationed in China and India.
The couple met after Melvin returned home from China, and
they've been together for the past seventy eight years. They
say it's family that's carried them through. We all get along.
We don't have any friction in any of our family.
(26:20):
Everyone on the same page. That sounds like your family
and Jennifer agreed. Here we are still happy, still healthy,
one hundred years old.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
My goodness, she.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Looks great for hundred it really does. I mean, I've
seen some fifty two year olds that put this ladies anyway,
she puts fifty two year olds to shame.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
I should say, why did you choose fifty two? Because
I'm fifty two?
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Are you not yet?
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Not yet?
Speaker 3 (26:49):
What are you rounding up? You're doing that trick.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
It's yeah, so that when it does come, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
I start about six months before my birthday of thinking
of myself a year older, just so it softens blow.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
You had a hard time with the forty I did not.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
You said repeatedly that I was going to have a
hard time with turning forty. Do you know what that
does to someone who's turning forty, who's not even thinking
about turning forty. It makes them sort of thinking about
how hard it's going to be to turn forty and
then obsess about it and then give themselves a thyroid
problem and then.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Oh wait a minute, so I am somehow the root
of your thyroid problem.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Yeah what thyroid?
Speaker 5 (27:27):
Yeah exactly, see, Yeah, that wasn't my fault.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
No breast milk and no thyroid.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
I can't wait to talk to your therapist.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Like I would ever go to therapy. Nobody needs all that,
what poor soul needs all that?
Speaker 4 (27:52):
All right?
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Well, yeah, the junk food industry is fighting back against ozimpic.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Yeah, this is fascinating.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
I mean, we talked about we talked pretty regularly about it.
It's kind of like our John and Ken heads on
a stick us against the super processed foods industry and
how they are drug dealers essentially, and that the line
that sticks out with me from yesterday's story about how
they trick you into getting you addicted to their ultra
(28:25):
processed foods was that, you know, we think it's a
willpower problem, that people are just making bad choices, but
that they actually have no control over it. That that's
that's when you're when you have a legit addiction like that,
how you don't really have control over your choices because
your brain chemistry has changed. And they've done that, the
(28:46):
ultra processed food industry has done that. And they've got
experience in that because they did it with us with tobacco,
getting everyone hooked on cigarettes by using Hollywood and everything else.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
Well, and these these new geal won drugs ozempic, wigov
zet bound, et cetera. They mimic the natural hormone, the
GLP one that slows digestion and signals to your brain
that you're full. So for a long time, the food
(29:18):
industry has simply marketed products to people who can't stop eating,
and then, like we said yesterday, manipulated the ingredients in
those products, or the packaging of those products, or even
the sound of those products to take advantage of the
fact that you, as a human animal, don't want to
(29:39):
stop eating. It's a protection thing. But now this ozempic,
wigov zet bound I don't know, revolution, I guess has
changed that completely because now people don't feel like they
can't stop eating.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
They do feel full.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
There's a couple anecdotes in this story that we'll talk
about in The New York Times coming up next. But
here's a little teas. A guy named Taylor lives up
in the Bay Area. Used to nurse a sugar addiction,
but now he says, I get grossed out by candy
and hostess treats. I love swish charred, He says, I
(30:19):
eat a lot of kale.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
You've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. I have a theory about this
Christmas tree, and I'm using Christmas in quotes. This is
a tree brought in by a fantastic home decor company.
It's a very expensive tree. It's pink. It's cotton candy pink.
(00:24):
It's bright pink, it's rose gold. It is as you said,
it gave you a cavity right when you walk in
one of the featured ornaments. And now when I say ornament,
I mean huge. It's huge these ornaments. It's a ice
cream cone and it's about oh, I would say it's
(00:45):
fourteen inches by four inches. It's a big ornament. And
there's about ten of them on this tree. And they're
about eighty four dollars apiece. That's neither here nor there.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
I have.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
My theory is.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
This is big tobacco. Big Tobacco.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Has come up with these massive ice cream cone ornaments
to make us think of ice cream, to make us
want more ice cream. That we just talked about the
ultra processed foods and the industry and the way they
get into your brain with just the packaging and the
(01:24):
color of the.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Box, even the sound, the.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Bliss points, the sounds, the cyber marketing or whatever they
called asonic marketing.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
And I think that.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
They've now gotten into Christmas and they're coming up with
these massive ice cream cone ornaments that are all the
rage to make, to put ice cream on the brain,
because I haven't stopped thinking about ice cream since we
walked in here. And yesterday we talked about ice cream
and you said it's like when you take two bites
of ice cream, you can't stop.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
They because of.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
The sugar and the salt and the fat. And now
they've infiltrated our trees.
Speaker 5 (02:03):
So without looking at it, don't look over there. What
kind of ice cream do you want right now?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
I want?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Okay, what I want when because I don't look at
me because of the sprinkles.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I want that like cake batter ice cream.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Yeah, I was going to say that the old Baskin
Robbins bubblegum ice cream.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I never liked that one. It was too sweet for me.
But you think this tree is not giving sweet batter.
My roommate in college, Kim, her mom Jerry, used to
make these cake batter cookies and send them to us
in the dorms. Cake if you ever had a cake
batter cookie, you know what, I'm going to get the
(02:43):
recipe and I'm going to make you some because they
are incredible, but you can't stop eating them.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
There Where are you looking at? Are you trying to
do news or no?
Speaker 6 (02:53):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
No, I was just trying to focus on sentencing. I see,
because the more you talk about cake batter cookies, the
less attention I'm going to pay to anything until I
get a cake batter curry.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah, I'll stop talking about it till I find the recipe.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
The man accused of killing nursing student Lake and Riley
has been found guilty on all ten counts against him.
They are giving witness statements right now in the sentencing.
The judge has said that he's already ready to sentence,
but we are getting some of the victim's statements. The
families of Lake and family members of Lake and Riley.
The US Embassy in Kiev has temporarily closed its doors
(03:30):
out of an abundance of caution. They said in a
statement that the Embassy recommends US citizens in Ukraine be
prepared to immediately shelter in the event an air alert
is announced. Also along those lines, President Biden has authorized
the provision of anti personnel land minds to Ukraine. They
say that's going to bolster Keev's defenses against Russian troops
(03:52):
as they advance in But it is pretty controversial considering
more than one hundred and sixty countries have signed an
international treaty ban the use of anti personnel lines, noting
the weapons can cause enduring harm to civilians when they're
left there. Speaking of Ukraine and Russia and all of
the latest Brian suits, host of The Dark Secret Place
(04:13):
is going to join us late in the show today
and talk more about this.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Great that'll be fun to hear from him.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Okay, So La Police are asking for all of our
help to find additional victims of two people who have
gotten a ticket for straight to Hell. They have been
kidnapping and robbing elderly victims. They say that this went
on for six months, six month crime spree from June
to November. They were operating across the city South La
(04:41):
Boyle Heights, MacArthur Park. They have been identified and apprehended,
but they believe that these people victimized many more people
we don't even know about.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Yeah, they're mo is. They would walk up or drive up.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Sorry, in about a mid twenty tens gray Ford focus hatchback.
They get out of the car and they engage with
one of these victims, elderly victim, and then claim that
they're affiliated with a local church to try to put
the victims at.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Ease, using church for evil.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
One of the suspects then gets out of the car,
threatens the victim with physical violence or a handgun.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Forces them into the vehicle, drives them to another location
where they demand money or jewelry, continue to threaten to
hurt them if they don't comply.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Detectives said they were eventually able to identify the suspects
in their vehicle. Two were arrested sometime this month, and
just yesterday police released two images of the vehicle used
in the kidnappings and robberies and hopes they could find
additional victims that may not have been contacted. They might
see what's going on and come forward. Yeah, that's just
(05:47):
straight to hell.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Straight to hell. You're robbing old people under the guise
of God, telling them your church. In front of the
eyes of God, he sees everything Anyways, he sees everything.
He's watching you right now. Yeah, yeah, he knows what
I'm thinking about. Those cookies, cake, better cookies. We have
a nice story coming up this hour.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
I doubt it. It just seems like they're such bad news.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
You're just going to be in a bad mood until
you get cookies. There are cookies down the hall that
could suffice till I get the recipe.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
They come in a paper bag, plastic bag. What do
you mean, cookies?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
There's cookie There's a famous amus cookies down there that
you can eat ultra processed.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Yeah, but I've seen you put down several bags of them,
old doc before.
Speaker 5 (06:34):

we've got no friends.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Well, are we down really rented?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
We kind of don't.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
We read to Amy in the morning show and then
we rent Debora while she hangs out with John.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
I mean, you're making it sound weird, like we're renting women.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
All sounds like Amy's wearing her adult Disney outfit today
and I would like to rent Inchras.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Please be careful you might get evicted.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Oh damn, too soon soon.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Last night we did the wrap party for the adult
theater show for the Matchmaker, and we ate on stage
every night. I don't know if you could see that,
but it was real food that they brought out.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Eating real food, and you you you didn't waste a lot.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
Well there was I mean watching there wasn't a lot
of food on the plate.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
That was it.
Speaker 5 (08:46):
I mean they bring out a chicken every night, and
you attacked that chicken. Well, I'm supposed to be a gruss.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I know, I'm just giving you a hard time.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
Can feel bad about my eating.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Sorry, I was in character, I know, I know.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
But they had cranberry sauce as part of the meal
every night. Oh that's cool, which was funny because I
as they bought it. You know, They're like, we're not
going to go for the expensive stuff. We're just going
to get the jelly cranberry sauce that comes out of
a jar, and I was like, that is that's because
that's the only kind, that's the absolute best kind. So
(09:21):
one of the women who was responsible for the food
every night brought me a full jar of jelly.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Cranberry sauce as a gift, which I thought was, well.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
That's nice. Is that the woman whose hands you hold
for twenty minutes?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
No?
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Very funny?
Speaker 5 (09:35):
I so, okay, can we do this here?
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah, we can take this here.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
We did an complete segment on ice cream ornaments.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Last are you caught up on shrinking?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
No?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
I didn't watch the one that dropped last night.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Just came out last night. I don't want to blow
anything for it, but I have this conversation that was
really very okay because it stems from your in the play,
I hold the hand of Dolly Gallagher at the end
of Finally ask her to marry me after she's been
badgering me for the entire play to marry her.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I don't know why you have to hold her hand
for that long?
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Okay, easy, dear, It was just weird.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Listen, sweetie, Sometimes daddy's fall in love with other mommies.
I don't like it, but I had that I said
that to my wife. I said that we had this
discussion and that you were like, it was weird for
you to see me holding a hand of somebody who's
not my wife. Yeah, And I thought that was nice
and it was a that's good. I think that's an
actual that's a positive thing. You you envisioned me with
(10:40):
my wife, and that's the way it should be. So
there's a new that we were watching a television show
and again I'm not going to tell you which one,
but we were watching a television show where a woman
kisses another guy who's not her husband after they'd been
hanging out for a while.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
And is it the neighbor with that guy Mac?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, Now it's gonna make me very uncomfortable.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
It is, And it was that's the whole point of it.
Like she realizes in the moment, like what am I?
What's happening? And runs away. Then she goes to Harrison
Ford's character and says, what do I do? And he's like,
you either tell him or you don't. Your husband, you
tell him or you don't. If you don't tell him,
you live with your guilt for the rest of your life.
(11:24):
If I mean, if it's that big of a deal
and if you if you do tell him, then now
he knows, and that starts a whole other thing, like
there's two paths and neither one of them is a
great path. So then my wife says, at the end
of the show, would you tell me if you kissed
somebody else?
Speaker 4 (11:43):
And I go and I'm you got mad?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
I know mad?
Speaker 5 (11:47):
Yeah, Well wait a minute, would you tell me if
you kissed another dude? And then she was like, well,
I mean, I don't know, probably not because look at
your reaction to this, and it's just a hypothetical.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
I mean there was a good fifteen minutes there. I
was pretty heated.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Well in that vein.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I will say that I have asked you a couple
times if your adult theater called for you.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
To do that, right, So then that also came up
and I said, well, I don't think I would even
take a role. I mean, we're saying this is how
apparently we have nothing else to talk about it. I say,
you guys really noticed that the mood Russian our teeth
getting ready for bed. And I was like, but I
probably wouldn't do a role where that was called for,
and she'd be like, I don't care. Wait here's the thing, man,
(12:38):
she had very specific rules about who the other person
could be.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
I would knife somebody probably probably.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I'm trying to think if my my husband did theater,
like when he was in high school. Sure, I'm trying
to think he.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Grew out of it, is what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
No, and uh, I'm trying to think what I would
think about that if he did that for a role.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Yeah, you know, and it probably depends on the I
have a silkwood scrub his face.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Right, there's that. There's the what's what are how how
intimate is this thing?
Speaker 3 (13:17):
God intimate?
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Ah, no, you guys really know how to set the
mood in that house from from watching e Er where
the baby dies of the rape victim right before your
son is born.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
Well, do you remember also the movie I want to
say it was Demi Moore.
Speaker 4 (13:38):
Oh indecent proposal, Yes, that's what it was.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
I was gonna say million dollar proposal, but I mean
it was Robert Redford, right, That's I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Everyone forgets that.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Everyone's like, oh, would you you know Woody Allen right
is the right not Woody Allen, Woody Harrelson Harrels, and
he is.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I've had Diane Keaton on the Brain.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Woody Harrelson and he there is a young couple and
there's Strappedford and Robert the older guy says, I'll give
you a million dollars if I get to have one
night with your wife, right, and like that's the question,
Like that's the moral dilemma. But no one ever tosses
in the sprinkles that the guy she's gonna have sex
with is Robert Redford in like Hot Times.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
I don't know about Hot Time.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Oh he was very good look Even me at eight
years old knew he was good looking.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
I remember watching that movie and then having that discussion
with my then girlfriend where I.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Was like, well, what do you have a price? Is
there a price on this? Whoa? How do you?
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Is this a thing that people think about and they
would be approached with and have a price.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
And I remember being really upset about that too.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
I mean, look at Robert Redford on this, I mean,
come on, you would do that for ten bucks? That
that's the movie poster. I mean, that's like the height
of y. I mean, he's what in his fifties there,
maybe maybe sixty.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
No, what year was this?
Speaker 5 (14:58):
It would have been nineteen three, two ninety two to
three something like that.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
It was.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Ninety three ninety three.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
Okay, so I'll do a quick math here, brought Robert Redford.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
But that that was a funny conversation. It became one
of those things where and then it would keep coming
back up.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
He was fifty fifty six. Okay, Yeah, that's a good
look in fifty six. All right, keep it in your pants.
Oh you're the one.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
You're the one kissing women.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
I didn't wait, no, no.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
I had it.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Turns out your wife doesn't even care.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
All right.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
SpaceX flew its latest test flight of its starship Mega
Rocket yesterday. Trump actually joined Elon Musk to witness this
spectacle firsthand. But a problem with the original plan to
catch that first stage rocket with the large tower and
the chopstick like they've done before, so the first age
actually had to be steered towards the otherwise normal splash
(16:06):
down out in the Gulf of Mexico.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Do you love a Christmas story? Probably not one of
your favorite movies?
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Why not?
Speaker 6 (16:13):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
I thought you were more of like a Snoopies Christmas
person or something.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
I like it. It's up there.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Top five fans of a Christmas story have a place
to stay in Oklahoma. Ralphie's Christmas House stands near a
fifty foot tall replica of the famous leg lamp that
was built in chickashaw am I, saying that right to
draw visitors. The two story airbnb was built in nineteen thirty,
remodeled in twenty twenty three. It's got four bedrooms can
(16:43):
sleep up to ten. You can google Ralphie's House online
to make reservations and see pictures.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Didn't we see Ralphie's house in Cleveland? It was part
of the story was that we drove right by it.
At one point, I'm going to dinner with John and Ken, I.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
Think, But that's all fake news. None of that is fake.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
We were in a car with John and Ken going
to Oh, Okay, we're going to a dinner with Okay,
they will be there, got it.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Yeah, we were never in a car. They would never
send a car I know.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I was like, I've never sat in a car with
John or Ken.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
They would.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
If we hailed a tax I'd open the doors for us,
let us get in, and then send it on its way.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
A second one, if I saw John driving a car,
I would vacate that particular freeway. In fact, the man
has to put in his home address into the GPS
every night.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Yeah, trying to find it Cleveland.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
The La City Council did as we expected yesterday and
adopted this sanctuary City ordinance to prohibit the use of
city resources or staff for federal immigration enforcement efforts. Passed
through a thirteen to nothing vote yesterday afternoon, after the
drafting was approved by the council more than a year ago.
(18:00):
This month, the effort to officially establish and enforce this
new sanctuary city ordinance got new momentum, of course, after
the election did not turn out the way the La
City Council wanted it to. With Trump winning, the president
elect has confirmed that he is prepared to declare a
national emergency for federal law enforcement efforts when it comes
(18:24):
to deportation of illegal immigrants. Last week, the city leader
said that they were working to fast track a vote
on this policy. Mayor Karen Bass in fact said I
stand with the people of this city. She said, the
moment demands urgency. Some immigrant rights activists have criticized the
prior resolution, which formally declared La as sanctuary city in
(18:46):
twenty nineteen as symbolic rather than any sort of enforceable
safeguard for residents. So this new ordinance bans the city's
collection of information on anyone's individual immigration status and would
are a city employee from notifying any federal agent or
authority about the release or detention of immigrants in the
(19:07):
US illegally.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
This will be a curious thing.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
I know that incoming LAPD chief or new LAPD Chief
Jim McDonald has talked about this and that the LPD
isn't changing its policies regarding this.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
But it'll be curious to see if there's.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
Any room for movement when it comes to the LAPD's policies.
This still has to then be voted again, I believe,
before it is officially signed into the city Charter or
the city law by mayor baths.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Would you like your jeopardy question? Are we doing that today?
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Celebrities for one thousand dollars in two thousand and three.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
Let's do that good news story when we come back.
Oh yes, I do have a good news story.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
This is about a World War Two veteran, a local
one at that, celebrating a milestone and her.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Service. The details of that when we come back.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
Let me do the quick thing to throw in here,
only because I just saw this. Alex Jones is now
fighting back against the sale of the Info Wars website
to the Onion. He filed a lawsuit in bankruptcy court
saying that several Sandy Hook families and the apparent company
of the Onion, called Global Tetrahedron, submitted an illegitimate bid
(21:14):
for the assets of the Info Wars of site and
parent company and planned to misuse the intellectual property. Last
week we told you the Onion said they were going
to buy it.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
They're going to set it up shady legal type of
last ditch hail Mary type thing.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Yeah, and the fact that he filed it, they were
already saying it's a win for Alex Jones. Well, you
and I could file a lawsuit for anything, for any reason,
at any time. That does not mean you're going to win it.
It doesn't even just because the court is going to
hear it doesn't necessarily mean that you're anywhere close to
a victory. For the first time in more than two decades,
(21:52):
New York City is under a drought warning. This is
the last step before a disaster declaration that would impose
mandatory water restriction.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
We talked about New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Most of New Jersey under drought conditions with those fires.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
They said, unusually dry weather has been plaguing a lot
of the United States for most of the fall, but
most of it, but it is most noticeable in the Northeast.
They've lowered reservoirs, they've wildfires have been in New York
and New Jersey states, and accustomed to these fires at
this time of year.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Roughly eleven percent of Americans have high cholesterol.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
That sounds low, doesn't it? Eleven percent?
Speaker 5 (22:30):
Yeah, well, cholesterol also gets a bad rap. I mean,
it's not necessarily good or bad, right, It's not bad
for it, it's it's it's a necessary part of what's
in your body.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah, that's all. That's all I know, Thank you doctor. Okay,
So we have a good story to tell you about.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Oh wait one.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
Dayankee, Oh hey Gary, last night blind mismss movie watch
with the girlfriend, the Family, friggin Stone starring you guessed it, Diane,
I know better than everyone in the room. Keaton out,
but things take a sure return. We'relling about twenty minutes
to find Mamma Keaton doing so well she determinely ill
(23:18):
woo oo wow. Pray for my soul, Shannon, love the show.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
You're asking me to pray for your soul. You are
in dire straits.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
That's likely hell quite the hail Mary?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
That is it? Sure is my goodness. That's one receiver
with six d backs and the.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
End zones starts like this, Dear God, you don't know me.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
I'm Shannon. I mean not theologically correct, but.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I know, you made everyone, but somebody took over the
job one day and I came out.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
All right. So the good story.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Jennifer McMullen has celebrated a huge milestone her one hundredth birthday.
She's from Whittier and she has had a remarkable life.
She played a pivotal role in World War Two, of course,
part of the iconic Rosie the Riveter movement. She said,
(24:28):
we worked on just sections of the airplane, a lot
of wings. During the war, Jennifer moved from Ohio to California.
One hundred year old woman named Jennifer. That's interesting, I
noticed that too. That's a maybe one of the first Jennifer's.
I don't know about the first one, she said. During
(24:49):
the Wars, she moved from Ohio to California, and at
just eighteen years old, she joined the war effort. She
worked the graveyard shift with an all female workforce at
Lockheed Aircraft Plant in Burbank.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Could you imagine a puppetry major at NYU at the
age of eighteen signing up to help the war effort
in the event that that happened.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Now, No, that wouldn't happen. Well, some of them would, but.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I don't think that Jennifer was ever a puppetry fan,
and certainly not someone who would go to NYU probably,
she said. The interesting thing was that they had camouflaged
the entire Lockheed plant with a tarp on top, and
it looked like a town because they painted fire, hydrants
and flowers to make it look real, she says, And
it was really us underneath the tarp working away at
(25:37):
the rivets.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
She didn't actually see the planes.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
She worked on the wings, as she said, while she
worked on airplanes, her husband Melvin was serving overseas. He
was flying in the planes that Rosy built as part
of an all volunteer group known as the Flying Tigers PS.
I would watch this movie about this couple, wouldn't you.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
He described that he was a nose turret gunner on
a B twenty four bomber stationed in China and India.
The couple met after Melvin returned home from China, and
they've been together for the past seventy eight years. They
say it's family that's carried them through. We all get along.
We don't have any friction in any of our family.
(26:20):
Everyone on the same page. That sounds like your family
and Jennifer agreed. Here we are still happy, still healthy,
one hundred years old.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
My goodness, she.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Looks great for hundred it really does. I mean, I've
seen some fifty two year olds that put this ladies anyway,
she puts fifty two year olds to shame.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
I should say, why did you choose fifty two? Because
I'm fifty two?
Speaker 3 (26:47):
Are you not yet?
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Not yet?
Speaker 3 (26:49):
What are you rounding up? You're doing that trick.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
It's yeah, so that when it does come, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
I start about six months before my birthday of thinking
of myself a year older, just so it softens blow.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
You had a hard time with the forty I did not.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
You said repeatedly that I was going to have a
hard time with turning forty. Do you know what that
does to someone who's turning forty, who's not even thinking
about turning forty. It makes them sort of thinking about
how hard it's going to be to turn forty and
then obsess about it and then give themselves a thyroid
problem and then.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Oh wait a minute, so I am somehow the root
of your thyroid problem.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Yeah what thyroid?
Speaker 5 (27:27):
Yeah exactly, see, Yeah, that wasn't my fault.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
No breast milk and no thyroid.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
I can't wait to talk to your therapist.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Like I would ever go to therapy. Nobody needs all that,
what poor soul needs all that?
Speaker 4 (27:52):
All right?
Speaker 5 (27:53):
Well, yeah, the junk food industry is fighting back against ozimpic.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Yeah, this is fascinating.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
I mean, we talked about we talked pretty regularly about it.
It's kind of like our John and Ken heads on
a stick us against the super processed foods industry and
how they are drug dealers essentially, and that the line
that sticks out with me from yesterday's story about how
they trick you into getting you addicted to their ultra
(28:25):
processed foods was that, you know, we think it's a
willpower problem, that people are just making bad choices, but
that they actually have no control over it. That that's
that's when you're when you have a legit addiction like that,
how you don't really have control over your choices because
your brain chemistry has changed. And they've done that, the
(28:46):
ultra processed food industry has done that. And they've got
experience in that because they did it with us with tobacco,
getting everyone hooked on cigarettes by using Hollywood and everything else.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
Well, and these these new geal won drugs ozempic, wigov
zet bound, et cetera. They mimic the natural hormone, the
GLP one that slows digestion and signals to your brain
that you're full. So for a long time, the food
(29:18):
industry has simply marketed products to people who can't stop eating,
and then, like we said yesterday, manipulated the ingredients in
those products, or the packaging of those products, or even
the sound of those products to take advantage of the
fact that you, as a human animal, don't want to
(29:39):
stop eating. It's a protection thing. But now this ozempic,
wigov zet bound I don't know, revolution, I guess has
changed that completely because now people don't feel like they
can't stop eating.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
They do feel full.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
There's a couple anecdotes in this story that we'll talk
about in The New York Times coming up next. But
here's a little teas. A guy named Taylor lives up
in the Bay Area. Used to nurse a sugar addiction,
but now he says, I get grossed out by candy
and hostess treats. I love swish charred, He says, I
(30:19):
eat a lot of kale.
