Coming up. I gotta do this while I think Debra
is out of the news booth. Yes she is. I
got to get this and to tell you guys it's
coming up.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I don't want to worry her, but a one hundred
foot megas tsunami could hit the US at any moment.
And that's only the beginning. There's the headline. Are you intrigued?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Me too?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
We'll find out about it together. Coming up in strange science,
we have something to give away right now and it
is hold on, let me find it here. It is
two Coachella Valley Coffee swag bags. Each bag contains some
cool swag, some classic Coachella Valley Coffee products, and a
(00:51):
three month free coffee subscription. You'll get one two pound
bag and one twelve ounce bag e month.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
This is huge. I want this.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Callers will win this awesome swag bag big thanks to
Roadmaster General Cliff. You can check them out at Coachella
Valleycoffee dot com. We're just talking about people hoarding coffee
with this potential Brazil Tariff. So we've got coffee to
give away. How about caller number six? You want to
do caller number six?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Yeah, Kean, I'm glad you're there. Why don't you give
out the phone number?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Oh, I know it.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I know what. I know I know it. I know it.
I know it. One eight hundred five to two oh
one KFI four.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, that sounds good. Together, we're getting it done. So uh,

two zero one KFI. Coller number six will win that
now in the meantime, what else is going on?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Time four? What's happening?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Wow? Well, what's happening is we are busy planning your
massive show for you already. We've got Michael Monks and
Power Hour coming up tomorrow at ten. We have a
special guest coming on to talk about ghosting being a
new reality when it comes to dating as well. Tomorrow
also is going to be the buck moon. It's a
(02:17):
full moon. It's going to be tomorrow, and it is
derived from the fact that the male deer begin to
grow their new antlers in July. H Buck moon for
the bucks and Justin Bieber has new music coming out
tomorrow as well, So I mean, where else do you
want to be tomorrow? You got a full moon, you
got Justin Bieber, new music, ghosting all of it. But today,
(02:41):
right here on the top of the what's happening pyle,
Usually you know it's war.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Impending doom.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
But Keana has blessed us with this being our lead story.
Moo Dang, Yes, that Moo Dang, the internet sensation has
turned one today a true I. Moo Dang remains unbothered, moisturized,
and happy. She's blissfully unaware that today is her big day.
(03:09):
It is the pygmy hippo who you know from a
thousand memes. She has wandered her enclosure today at Thailand's
kaw Q Open Zoo. She's had a couple naps, She's
had some watermelon and some vegetables. She was also hosed
down for a shower. Doesn't that sound lovely and refreshing?
(03:30):
Moo Dang will have four days of celebrations, including a
forty four pound hippo sized cake. She has no idea
that she is a celebrity. There is a moo aniac.
Molly Swindle has flown from New York to Thailand to celebrate.
(03:50):
She says she's an icon. Everybody in the world loves her.
There are people flying in from from Houston, from Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Mudang was named by the public, and that is one
of the reasons why she's so famous.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
We have skin in the game, you see.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
She was named in a vote by more than twenty
thousand children in tourists on the Facebook page of a
zoo in eastern Thailand and quickly became an Internet sensation
and remains so today. The US Department of Justice has
filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles against California and Gavin Newsom.
And this goes back to the Newsom Trump fight. And
(04:31):
I do think Trump is doing Newsome a favor, continuing
to elevate his name into some sort of prominence. The
Trump administration is alleging that there's too much red tape
on the production of eggs and poultry products and that
this is in violation of federal law. They're quite literally
(04:51):
fighting over eggs now and they're doing it in court,
and we are all.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Here for it.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Tim Meyer, a founding member of the band One Republic
Feel Good Music, is going to run for California lieutenant governor.
Now I understand running for governor as a celebrity. It's
kind of a sexy role. Lieutenant governor not a sexy role.
Nothing says sexy when you think about you know, I
(05:20):
always think about Cruz Bustamante because he ran during the recall.
And I'm not saying Cruz Bustamante is not sexy. I
don't know the man, but lieutenant governor not. His campaign.
Tim Myers, founding member of One Republic, says time is
Tim is running for lieutenant governor to fix a broken
political system dominated by career politicians and special interests and
(05:41):
rigged against the working class. Running as a Democrat, they say.
In this on KTLA writes this. I don't know if
KTLA wrote this or but they say. The number two
position in California has traditionally been seen as a stepping
stone to governorship, has it?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Has it the lieutenant governor?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I struggled to name who the current lieutenant governor of
California is. I don't think that that's This is not
like the vice president Hiker has come face to face
with a mountain lion in o Hi. This is kind
of what I imagine goes on and O Hi. You know,
you get out your crystals, your kombucha, and you're in
(06:20):
nature and you're sweaty a lot, and you smell like Patuli.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I feel like this is very on brand for oh Hi.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Courtney says she was walking alone on the Gridley Trail
last week. She has for the last decade done this.
She looked up found herself staring at the mountain Lion.
She says, this was my first time and I was like, whoa, whoa,
this is amazing. I think I nailed it. I think
I nailed Courtney's mindset there, they said, though in her
(06:51):
state of belief disbelief, she was still able to pull
out her cell phone and start recording the accounter.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Of course she was who is not?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Who is so distracted that the not recording everything on
their phone? You heard this in Heather Brooker's news earlier.
Burkin's original Ames bag has sold for ten million on
an auction in Paris. I don't understand the Burken bag deal.
I certainly don't get it now that I've learned more
about it from John Hamm on friends and neighbors, that
(07:19):
you have to spend so much money at Ermez even
to get on the list to get a burkin. It's
like a it's like a it's like one of those schemes,
one of those like Herbalife schemes or one of those
mom schemes where you've got to like buy so much
for the opportunity to buy so much more. To me,
(07:40):
it doesn't pass a smell test if you have to
buy to be placed on a list to buy more.
And then we got McDonald's news the snack wrap has
returned today nationwide. Apparently we have a fast food fight
that is still going on.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Who who are they fighting with currently? McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Let's see here, oh, I see Sonic, Taco Bell and
Popeyes have also entered the rap war. Wraps are very
in these days. I just read an article about this.
Wraps were very big in the nineties, the last time
skinny people were in the caesar salad chicken type rap.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I've seen a lot more people ordering raps of late.
I was with some girlfriends up in Colorado ordering raps
left and right. It seems to be the healthier way
to do the breads, I guess. But the wraps are back,
and the fast food places are warring each other over it.
The return of the snack wrap at McDonald's. Is that
(08:42):
mccrispy chicken strip wrapped in the soft flower tortilla. Why
am I doing this to us during lunch? You know
what it is.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
It's delicious and I'm not gonna make our mouths water?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
All right?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Coming up next? What are we talking about?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I don't know. I misplaced though. Oh I know we're
talking about those little videos. I feel less guilty when
I look at small videos. I had to delete as
talking to Heather about this, I had to delete TikTok
or delete the app for my phone because every time
I opened it, I found myself spending way too much
time on it. If I could just stick to watching
three of those little seven or eight second videos, i'd
(09:17):
be fine. But it's when I watch one hundred or
two hundred of them that I have a problem. But
even three or four of those quick little videos are
apparently cooking our brains. This is back by Science. We'll
tell you about it when we come back.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I don't know if my computer is listening to me.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Deborah but I just was fed an article this new
Netflix show is better than Virgin River and Ransom Canyon,
and they're talking about Sullivan's Crossing. Oh really, the show
that I've recommended that you're gonna love. If you love
that soft lighting, feel good vibe after every Virgin River episodisode,
(10:00):
you're gonna love it.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Sullivan's Crossing. I am starting it tonight.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
You know what, one thing that I know, I think
I've told you this off the air, but one thing
I really really love about Virgin River are the actors.
I just I love them. The guy that plays Doc, yeah,
I love him. I want him to be my relive.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
You're going to fall in love with these people just
as much. Yeah, maybe not as much as Doc because
he's special. But it's up there, it's up there.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I'm so excited. I need a good show. All right.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
We still have one more giveaway to get to coming
up in the show. Did you hear about the kid
by the way before we run out of time who
was rescued after climbing into a claw machine.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I just saw that on TV. We've all wanted to
do that, right.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Those claw machines are so deceiving.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
It looks so easy.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
How could you not use the giant claw to get
that stuff to animal?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Never want anything?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Never, And I can't believe I was fooled not once,
not twice, but probably four or five times. A kid
in Ohio decided that he would well crawl right into
the shoot on the front of the machine meant for
the prize delivery. That's quite the large shoot on that machine.
(11:14):
Once inside the machine, the child on the surveillance video
is seen shimming his way up the shoot into the
prize cage before his head and upper body appear alongside
the sea of stuffed animals. See, while we were kids, Deborah,
we didn't get instant gratification if you lost the claw
machine game you lost. You didn't say I want that,
and I want it now, and I have to have
(11:35):
it because of Amazon. This kid is just a product
of his generation. I don't think it's his fault. But
there he was, boy and a claw machine. Firefighters were
able to eventually rescue the boy and remove him from
the machine.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
No word on if he got a stuffed animal.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
All right, So these little videos, you're thinking, how harmful
can they be? I don't have TikTok, so that I
cannot have a complete brain suck and end as a
stem of a brain by the end of every day.
But yet these little videos from TikTok, they make their
way to me. They make their way via Twitter or
x or Instagram. So I see them and I think
(12:16):
to myself, if I've watched four or five of them,
I'm certainly into the ballet ones a lot, which I
don't think. I make excuses for myself like you do
for all great addictions. I'm like, it's just ballet videos.
It can't be that. You know, it can't hurt my
brain that much. But you've done this and you're thinking like, oh,
these are seven eight second videos, Like whatever, it's not
(12:37):
wasting that much of my time because you don't realize
you're watching hundreds of them. Well, they have made their
way into they've made their way into Netflix, they've made
their way to Pinterest, They're everywhere, and there are some
real problems with these videos. First of all, it is
we are at the onset of the advent of AI slop.
(13:00):
Slop is remarkably popular on YouTube. Nearly half of the
ten most popular channels on YouTube contained AI generated content.
Now this slop is all AI generated. When I'm talking
about these little videos, you don't need human oversight. They're
(13:21):
basically just contents, poorly written, visually unappealing, regurgitates information. It's
kind of like spam, right, like spam mail, but in
the video form, and it's being fed to you while
you're looking for other content, or it's just appearing to
you in cohoots with that content. Now, they say that
(13:46):
the slop videos lead to the same anxiety that you
would feel just doing your doom scrolling on Instagram. The
more of these little videos you watch, it does create
an effect in your nervous system. These platforms know that
making this content, or not needing to make this content
because it's all AI, means that more content will be
(14:12):
consumed by your eyeballs, which leads to more engagement. The
longer you spend on these platforms consuming the slop, the
more time you spend there.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
What does that lead to more engagement? You know, this
leads to more ads.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
You can say to an advertiser, Hey, we've got this
amount of eyeballs on all our slop, why don't you
slide your advertisement in there and think about all of
the attention it will get. It's a more addictive Internet
is what the slop is doing. It's like it's making
us more addicted to more crap, and isn't.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
That the way we operate?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
People already spend a staggering amount of time on TikTok
one hundred and eight minutes a day. That's more than
double the time spent on Instagram. There are many, many, many,
many studies showing how more TikTok use increases anxiety and stress,
especially in young people.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
It's called TikTok brain.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
And we do know that watching TikTok does have the
side effect of shredding your attention span. Really, anytime you're
looking down at that phone. I have enough heart, I
have a hard time enough focusing as it is, But
I have noticed the more time I spend looking at
the phone, whether it's Instagram or whatever I'm trying to.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Do, the wors it gets worst.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
It gets trying to have me focus on one thing,
whether it be a book or what a conversation. Researchers
have found that TikTok disrupts your ability to complete a
task when interrupted, and that's the thing. You get sidetracked.
You get one interruption. How many times have you done this.
You pick up your phone. You're trying to find let's say,
(15:52):
a taco place nearby, and you've got a text message
and you look at that and you're like, oh, Kender's
coming to down.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I wonder if we should go to that new Scalp
massage place. Oh, I'm going to look that up. And
then you forgot while you picked up the phone in
the first place.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
That is because our tension spans are ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Here's the science.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Our tension spans while looking at a screen have shrunk
from two and a half minutes in two thousand and four,
should just forty seven seconds. You have our attention for
about forty seven seconds, which is quite close to the
average length of a TikTok video. I think that forty
seven seconds is high too. By the way, then there's
(16:38):
little tips. I could give you the tips, but you're
not going to take them. Take breaks. Says stand up,
go outside and look at a tree. It honestly says that,
go look at a tree, which I agree with. Trees
are beautiful. I love trees. But really, yeah, I'm stuck
on TikTok for hours a day. I'm going to take
your tip of standing up going outside and looking at
a tree says be intentional rather automatic. When you look
(17:01):
at an app, if you tap on TikTok because you
don't know what else to do, that's a sign you're tired.
Go to sleep, you know, and you're overtired at night
and you think you can't.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Go to sleep. You're like a toddler. You're over tired.
Just put the.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Phone down and go to sleep. But you know it's
it's it's going to get worse. So here we are
altogether on this canoe into brain stem land. When we
come back, strange science. We've got animals with superpowers. How
cool is that? This is the stuff you've never heard
about before. Also, Deborah earmuffs, don't listen to this. One
(17:39):
hundred foot mega tsunami could hit the US at any moment.
What I'll talk about it when we come back.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Hey, who wants to give away some stuff? I do.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
We have two Coachella Valley coffee swag bags to give away.

Roastmaster General Cliff. Check them out at Coachella Valleycoffee dot Com.
Caller number six right now wins the Coachella Valley Coffee
swag bags.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Give them a call. One eight hundred and five two
oh one KFI.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
One eight hundred five two zero one k f I
it's time for strange science.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I'm asking you too much. I know that straight say.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
It's like weird science, but strange.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
So some animals get a bad rap, don't they. The
vulture is one of them, has to be one of
the most reviled creatures on Earth. The very word vulture
is an insult, greedy exploiter, and I understand the bad reputation.
They're not cute, they're not cuddly. They've got that stooped posture,
(19:29):
sit up straight, beady eyes, and then there's the whole
dead animal thing. I mean, they spend their days eating
dead animals, and they do so in a not so
appetizing way. They enter the corpse at its soft parts,
the mouth, the nose, the anus. According to National Geographic
Explorer Darcio Ganda, vultures definitely have an image problem because
(19:53):
here is the thing. There are real world consequences with
that with not having them.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
The vultures play a vital role in.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Our ecosystem, and this is the whole point behind the
National Geographics deep dive here on the superpowers of nature's
most unloved animals. They really are superpowers. Without vultures, bad
things happen. Vultures act as nature's cleaners. They hover up
those rotting carcasses. They prevent the spread of disease. Just
(20:27):
look at India alone. About thirty years ago, vultures nearly disappeared.
Many of them were accidentally poisoned by the medicine that
they were using on cows, and as a result, the
countryside was just littered with these rotting, germ filled animal corpses.
They were infecting the rivers, the drinking water they amplified
the population of feral dogs caring rabies.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
It was a disaster.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
The decline in vultures correlated with more than half a
million excess human deaths in India between two thousand and
two thousand five.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
And that is the thing.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Cuteness a powerful draw because of our brains programming, Like
why we want to feed babies when they act like
they do.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
It's because they're cute.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
But you know, some of our animal kingdom's outcasts need
our attention. They need the conservation dollars. You're not gonna
give a bunch of money to the vulture society, are you.
The three toed sloth is another one. Slow moving animals
got a bad wrap from the get go. One nineteenth
(21:36):
century account labeled them imperfect monsters of creation, adding equally
remarkable for their disgusting appearance and helpless condition.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
My god, slots can't help that.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Several species of algae grow in the grooves of their coarse,
matted fur, giving that giving them that green sheen. But
this is a secret weapon, a super power. The algae
helps camouflage all of the creatures that live in those canopies.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
The leopard slug.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
This is an animal that doesn't have a spine, and
that's hard to get behind, isn't it. But they have
a surprisingly useful set of adaptations. A crown of four
wriggling feelers atop the leopard slug's head allow them to
sense their surroundings, and their gooey ooze helps them mate.
(22:35):
The slug mucus, by the way, here's where you come in.
It's made from water, proteins, enzymes, other compounds. It is
where we came up with how to develop workable surgical adhesive.
Is from the leopard slug. It's quite the nature superpower.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
There's a bunch of them. We'll post a picture.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
I'm running out of time, but the Robuscus monkey, the
African bullfrog, honey badgers, they all play a role in
keeping us alive, and so maybe we start some sort
of ugly animal charity around here.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
My favorite is.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
The hairy frog fish HM, a toadlike creature, the most
grotesque of all the fish, according to one nineteenth century naturalist.
They're covered in a web of stringy spinles that help
them blend in among algae coated rocks and coral while
hunting prey.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
They're very cool and very ugly all right?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Coming up next the story that Mason Deborah Mark home
early one hundred foot megas tsunami that could hit the
United States at any moment, And as the headline says,
that is only the beginning.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
What you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Forty Justin Bieber to release his seventh studio album, everybody.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
That's right, It's happening tomorrow. Are you so excited?
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Elmer? I am?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I love the Bebes? Okay, what do you like? New Bebes?
Old Beabes? All the Bebes?
Speaker 5 (24:19):
What's the one where he's like black and white and
like shirtless?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
M that Beabes.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
It's gonna surprise you. I have no idea. So you're
not a believer.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
No, but there's this one album that was great and
I listened to it like back to front multiple times,
and I just want to get back to that Beaber,
you know, like mature Biber, R and B like early
twenties Beaber early time.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Okay, all right, so this one's gonna be called swag.
That's one of his favorite terms. If you are a believer,
I do have the track list, I do have my
hot hands on the track list. Let's see here all
I can take daisies? You con go, baby. I drove
a Yukon around for a while. What a wonderful vehicle
(25:05):
that was. I mean, I felt like I was in
a war, but I felt safe. Let's see things you do?
Butterflies way, it is first place soul food, walking away, Oh,
walking away. I wonder if that's about him leaving Hally Bieber.
I mean they've been kind of on the outside. He's
doing a lot of soul searching posts. She just came
into a lot of money selling her ass in her lipstick.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
There's a lot going on there. Let's see here. I
don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Is there some sort of Selena Gomez situation going on
in one of those tracks?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
We don't know. It'll be on.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
All of your platforms. There was a mysterious billboard that
popped up near Iceland's capital. Is that Rikovic depicts a
shirtless there you go? He's shirtless again at least Elmer
a shirtless justin Bieber, alongside the word swag. The same
ad went up today in La so there you go.
(26:00):
And then he tweeted a selfie today of him flipping
the bird while on a boat. Wait for it, shirtless
a ha. Anyway back to strange science. Okay, the tsunami
that's going to hit at any time. What if the
tsunami hits before Biver's album drops. I'm just putting it
out there.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I know I hate it too. I hate it, and
I don't think it's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
The Cascadia Subduction Zone is what we're worried about. This
is a massive fault line stretching from northern California to
British Columbia, and it has been This is Deborah's least
favorite thing, eerily quiet for three hundred years. When it
finally ruptures, the Cascadia subduction Zone is expected to trigger
(26:46):
a colossal earthquake that could rattle the Pacific Northwest for minutes.
Think about the earthquakes you've felt have only really been
seconds long, and they felt like minutes, didn't they.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Even worse than that earthquake that would last for minutes
is the tsunami wave. Nay, tsunami waves ze up to
one hundred feet would crash ashore unleashing devastation along the coast.
But according to a new study published in the Proceedings
of the National Academy of Sciences that would only mark
(27:23):
the beginning of Cascadia's cataclysm. The new analysis reveals that
land along the coast could drop by more than eight
feet in a matter of minutes.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Eight feet. That's two DeBras. That's true.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
I measure I measure things by how many deborahs. The
lead author of the study is Professor Tina Dora, and
she says, we talk about climate driven sea level rise,
which is occurring at three to four millimeters a year,
and that does eventually add up. But here we have
two meters of sea level rise in minutes. She wonders,
(28:06):
why we're not talking about this more well, Professor Tina,
Probably because we can't do jack s about it, Tina,
Probably because it makes Deborah worried for four to six days. Tina, yeah, Tina, Yeah,
What the hell are we supposed to do, Tina, build
up some sort of massive fence, Like, how do you
prepare for an earthquake? You cannot in an earthquake this
(28:29):
size at last minutes, in a tsunami that's one hundred
feet high. You're just screwed, Tina. You're screwed. At that point,
you know, we all know that there's a chance that
an asteroid could fly into the system and just take
us all out. But why would we spend more time
thinking about that? We have no control over it. The
(28:52):
Cascadia subduction zone marks the boundary where the oceanic Juan
Dai Fuca Plate is slipping beneath the North of American plate.
And as they lock together, because they don't move slowly,
these plates, they tend to get stuck, and when they
lock together, the strain accumulates over centuries, and then when
(29:13):
it finally releases, boom, there goes the earthquake. You're not
going to want to listen to this part. It's produced,
it's capable. Cascadia is producing quakes of multitude nine or more,
major events thought to strike every four hundred and fifty
to five hundred years. The last one occurred on January
(29:39):
twenty sixth, seventeen hundred. Its magnitude was between an eight
seven and a nine to two terrifying.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
So we're new.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
I've told you that, you have said over and over again,
you have We are due, yes, and it's not going
to be pretty.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
It's not. No, no, we will not be here to
talk about it. We will not.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
I mean John coblt gets excited.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
About Well, he's fun. It's a dark person, I know,
but he'll be smashed.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
It's a broken soul, which is not true, by the way, John, it's.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
All an act.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
He's such a great he's a very good person and
very soft inside.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
He is.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
You know, he's like one of those hardshelled. I don't know.
You know, he's sitting right here and he has this looks. Oh,
he's going to end it. He's going to end it all.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
This will be my last show.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
He's getting a kick out.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Shannon is singing your praises, John, Yes she is.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
He knows that that doesn't mean anything good.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
All right, I will move over for John and we
will see you tomorrow. We have such a pack show,
you guys. I am so excited about tomorrow's show. We
have a special guest to talk about ghosting. You're gonna
hate him because it's part of his life and a
part of everyone's life that dates at twenty twenty five.
Probably we've got the Michael Monks Power Hour. We We've
got so much. We've got We've got treats galore. So
(31:03):
check up with us tomorrow. At nine am. In the
meantime stage dry out there and Blessings.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
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.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Coming up. I gotta do this while I think Debra
is out of the news booth. Yes she is. I
got to get this and to tell you guys it's
coming up.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I don't want to worry her, but a one hundred
foot megas tsunami could hit the US at any moment.
And that's only the beginning. There's the headline. Are you intrigued?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Me too?
Speaker 1 (00:28):
We'll find out about it together. Coming up in strange science,
we have something to give away right now and it
is hold on, let me find it here. It is
two Coachella Valley Coffee swag bags. Each bag contains some
cool swag, some classic Coachella Valley Coffee products, and a
(00:51):
three month free coffee subscription. You'll get one two pound
bag and one twelve ounce bag e month.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
This is huge. I want this.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Callers will win this awesome swag bag big thanks to
Roadmaster General Cliff. You can check them out at Coachella
Valleycoffee dot com. We're just talking about people hoarding coffee
with this potential Brazil Tariff. So we've got coffee to
give away. How about caller number six? You want to
do caller number six?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Yeah, Kean, I'm glad you're there. Why don't you give
out the phone number?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Oh, I know it.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I know what. I know I know it. I know it.
I know it. One eight hundred five to two oh
one KFI four.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, that sounds good. Together, we're getting it done. So uh,
the Coachella Valley Coffee swag bag one eight hundred five
two zero one KFI. Coller number six will win that
now in the meantime, what else is going on?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Time four? What's happening?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Wow? Well, what's happening is we are busy planning your
massive show for you already. We've got Michael Monks and
Power Hour coming up tomorrow at ten. We have a
special guest coming on to talk about ghosting being a
new reality when it comes to dating as well. Tomorrow
also is going to be the buck moon. It's a
(02:17):
full moon. It's going to be tomorrow, and it is
derived from the fact that the male deer begin to
grow their new antlers in July. H Buck moon for
the bucks and Justin Bieber has new music coming out
tomorrow as well, So I mean, where else do you
want to be tomorrow? You got a full moon, you
got Justin Bieber, new music, ghosting all of it. But today,
(02:41):
right here on the top of the what's happening pyle,
Usually you know it's war.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Impending doom.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
But Keana has blessed us with this being our lead story.
Moo Dang, Yes, that Moo Dang, the internet sensation has
turned one today a true I. Moo Dang remains unbothered, moisturized,
and happy. She's blissfully unaware that today is her big day.
(03:09):
It is the pygmy hippo who you know from a
thousand memes. She has wandered her enclosure today at Thailand's
kaw Q Open Zoo. She's had a couple naps, She's
had some watermelon and some vegetables. She was also hosed
down for a shower. Doesn't that sound lovely and refreshing?
(03:30):
Moo Dang will have four days of celebrations, including a
forty four pound hippo sized cake. She has no idea
that she is a celebrity. There is a moo aniac.
Molly Swindle has flown from New York to Thailand to celebrate.
(03:50):
She says she's an icon. Everybody in the world loves her.
There are people flying in from from Houston, from Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's a big deal.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Mudang was named by the public, and that is one
of the reasons why she's so famous.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
We have skin in the game, you see.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
She was named in a vote by more than twenty
thousand children in tourists on the Facebook page of a
zoo in eastern Thailand and quickly became an Internet sensation
and remains so today. The US Department of Justice has
filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles against California and Gavin Newsom.
And this goes back to the Newsom Trump fight. And
(04:31):
I do think Trump is doing Newsome a favor, continuing
to elevate his name into some sort of prominence. The
Trump administration is alleging that there's too much red tape
on the production of eggs and poultry products and that
this is in violation of federal law. They're quite literally
(04:51):
fighting over eggs now and they're doing it in court,
and we are all.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Here for it.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Tim Meyer, a founding member of the band One Republic
Feel Good Music, is going to run for California lieutenant governor.
Now I understand running for governor as a celebrity. It's
kind of a sexy role. Lieutenant governor not a sexy role.
Nothing says sexy when you think about you know, I
(05:20):
always think about Cruz Bustamante because he ran during the recall.
And I'm not saying Cruz Bustamante is not sexy. I
don't know the man, but lieutenant governor not. His campaign.
Tim Myers, founding member of One Republic, says time is
Tim is running for lieutenant governor to fix a broken
political system dominated by career politicians and special interests and
(05:41):
rigged against the working class. Running as a Democrat, they say.
In this on KTLA writes this. I don't know if
KTLA wrote this or but they say. The number two
position in California has traditionally been seen as a stepping
stone to governorship, has it?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Has it the lieutenant governor?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I struggled to name who the current lieutenant governor of
California is. I don't think that that's This is not
like the vice president Hiker has come face to face
with a mountain lion in o Hi. This is kind
of what I imagine goes on and O Hi. You know,
you get out your crystals, your kombucha, and you're in
(06:20):
nature and you're sweaty a lot, and you smell like Patuli.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I feel like this is very on brand for oh Hi.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Courtney says she was walking alone on the Gridley Trail
last week. She has for the last decade done this.
She looked up found herself staring at the mountain Lion.
She says, this was my first time and I was like, whoa, whoa,
this is amazing. I think I nailed it. I think
I nailed Courtney's mindset there, they said, though in her
(06:51):
state of belief disbelief, she was still able to pull
out her cell phone and start recording the accounter.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Of course she was who is not?
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Who is so distracted that the not recording everything on
their phone? You heard this in Heather Brooker's news earlier.
Burkin's original Ames bag has sold for ten million on
an auction in Paris. I don't understand the Burken bag deal.
I certainly don't get it now that I've learned more
about it from John Hamm on friends and neighbors, that
(07:19):
you have to spend so much money at Ermez even
to get on the list to get a burkin. It's
like a it's like a it's like one of those schemes,
one of those like Herbalife schemes or one of those
mom schemes where you've got to like buy so much
for the opportunity to buy so much more. To me,
(07:40):
it doesn't pass a smell test if you have to
buy to be placed on a list to buy more.
And then we got McDonald's news the snack wrap has
returned today nationwide. Apparently we have a fast food fight
that is still going on.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Who who are they fighting with currently? McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Let's see here, oh, I see Sonic, Taco Bell and
Popeyes have also entered the rap war. Wraps are very
in these days. I just read an article about this.
Wraps were very big in the nineties, the last time
skinny people were in the caesar salad chicken type rap.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I've seen a lot more people ordering raps of late.
I was with some girlfriends up in Colorado ordering raps
left and right. It seems to be the healthier way
to do the breads, I guess. But the wraps are back,
and the fast food places are warring each other over it.
The return of the snack wrap at McDonald's. Is that
(08:42):
mccrispy chicken strip wrapped in the soft flower tortilla. Why
am I doing this to us during lunch? You know
what it is.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
It's delicious and I'm not gonna make our mouths water?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
All right?
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Coming up next? What are we talking about?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I don't know. I misplaced though. Oh I know we're
talking about those little videos. I feel less guilty when
I look at small videos. I had to delete as
talking to Heather about this, I had to delete TikTok
or delete the app for my phone because every time
I opened it, I found myself spending way too much
time on it. If I could just stick to watching
three of those little seven or eight second videos, i'd
(09:17):
be fine. But it's when I watch one hundred or
two hundred of them that I have a problem. But
even three or four of those quick little videos are
apparently cooking our brains. This is back by Science. We'll
tell you about it when we come back.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I don't know if my computer is listening to me.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Deborah but I just was fed an article this new
Netflix show is better than Virgin River and Ransom Canyon,
and they're talking about Sullivan's Crossing. Oh really, the show
that I've recommended that you're gonna love. If you love
that soft lighting, feel good vibe after every Virgin River episodisode,
(10:00):
you're gonna love it.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Sullivan's Crossing. I am starting it tonight.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
You know what, one thing that I know, I think
I've told you this off the air, but one thing
I really really love about Virgin River are the actors.
I just I love them. The guy that plays Doc, yeah,
I love him. I want him to be my relive.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
You're going to fall in love with these people just
as much. Yeah, maybe not as much as Doc because
he's special. But it's up there, it's up there.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
I'm so excited. I need a good show. All right.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
We still have one more giveaway to get to coming
up in the show. Did you hear about the kid
by the way before we run out of time who
was rescued after climbing into a claw machine.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I just saw that on TV. We've all wanted to
do that, right.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Those claw machines are so deceiving.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
It looks so easy.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
How could you not use the giant claw to get
that stuff to animal?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Never want anything?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Never, And I can't believe I was fooled not once,
not twice, but probably four or five times. A kid
in Ohio decided that he would well crawl right into
the shoot on the front of the machine meant for
the prize delivery. That's quite the large shoot on that machine.
(11:14):
Once inside the machine, the child on the surveillance video
is seen shimming his way up the shoot into the
prize cage before his head and upper body appear alongside
the sea of stuffed animals. See, while we were kids, Deborah,
we didn't get instant gratification if you lost the claw
machine game you lost. You didn't say I want that,
and I want it now, and I have to have
(11:35):
it because of Amazon. This kid is just a product
of his generation. I don't think it's his fault. But
there he was, boy and a claw machine. Firefighters were
able to eventually rescue the boy and remove him from
the machine.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
No word on if he got a stuffed animal.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
All right, So these little videos, you're thinking, how harmful
can they be? I don't have TikTok, so that I
cannot have a complete brain suck and end as a
stem of a brain by the end of every day.
But yet these little videos from TikTok, they make their
way to me. They make their way via Twitter or
x or Instagram. So I see them and I think
(12:16):
to myself, if I've watched four or five of them,
I'm certainly into the ballet ones a lot, which I
don't think. I make excuses for myself like you do
for all great addictions. I'm like, it's just ballet videos.
It can't be that. You know, it can't hurt my
brain that much. But you've done this and you're thinking like, oh,
these are seven eight second videos, Like whatever, it's not
(12:37):
wasting that much of my time because you don't realize
you're watching hundreds of them. Well, they have made their
way into they've made their way into Netflix, they've made
their way to Pinterest, They're everywhere, and there are some
real problems with these videos. First of all, it is
we are at the onset of the advent of AI slop.
(13:00):
Slop is remarkably popular on YouTube. Nearly half of the
ten most popular channels on YouTube contained AI generated content.
Now this slop is all AI generated. When I'm talking
about these little videos, you don't need human oversight. They're
(13:21):
basically just contents, poorly written, visually unappealing, regurgitates information. It's
kind of like spam, right, like spam mail, but in
the video form, and it's being fed to you while
you're looking for other content, or it's just appearing to
you in cohoots with that content. Now, they say that
(13:46):
the slop videos lead to the same anxiety that you
would feel just doing your doom scrolling on Instagram. The
more of these little videos you watch, it does create
an effect in your nervous system. These platforms know that
making this content, or not needing to make this content
because it's all AI, means that more content will be
(14:12):
consumed by your eyeballs, which leads to more engagement. The
longer you spend on these platforms consuming the slop, the
more time you spend there.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
What does that lead to more engagement? You know, this
leads to more ads.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
You can say to an advertiser, Hey, we've got this
amount of eyeballs on all our slop, why don't you
slide your advertisement in there and think about all of
the attention it will get. It's a more addictive Internet
is what the slop is doing. It's like it's making
us more addicted to more crap, and isn't.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
That the way we operate?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
People already spend a staggering amount of time on TikTok
one hundred and eight minutes a day. That's more than
double the time spent on Instagram. There are many, many, many,
many studies showing how more TikTok use increases anxiety and stress,
especially in young people.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
It's called TikTok brain.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
And we do know that watching TikTok does have the
side effect of shredding your attention span. Really, anytime you're
looking down at that phone. I have enough heart, I
have a hard time enough focusing as it is, But
I have noticed the more time I spend looking at
the phone, whether it's Instagram or whatever I'm trying to.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Do, the wors it gets worst.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
It gets trying to have me focus on one thing,
whether it be a book or what a conversation. Researchers
have found that TikTok disrupts your ability to complete a
task when interrupted, and that's the thing. You get sidetracked.
You get one interruption. How many times have you done this.
You pick up your phone. You're trying to find let's say,
(15:52):
a taco place nearby, and you've got a text message
and you look at that and you're like, oh, Kender's
coming to down.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I wonder if we should go to that new Scalp
massage place. Oh, I'm going to look that up. And
then you forgot while you picked up the phone in
the first place.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
That is because our tension spans are ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Here's the science.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Our tension spans while looking at a screen have shrunk
from two and a half minutes in two thousand and four,
should just forty seven seconds. You have our attention for
about forty seven seconds, which is quite close to the
average length of a TikTok video. I think that forty
seven seconds is high too. By the way, then there's
(16:38):
little tips. I could give you the tips, but you're
not going to take them. Take breaks. Says stand up,
go outside and look at a tree. It honestly says that,
go look at a tree, which I agree with. Trees
are beautiful. I love trees. But really, yeah, I'm stuck
on TikTok for hours a day. I'm going to take
your tip of standing up going outside and looking at
a tree says be intentional rather automatic. When you look
(17:01):
at an app, if you tap on TikTok because you
don't know what else to do, that's a sign you're tired.
Go to sleep, you know, and you're overtired at night
and you think you can't.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Go to sleep. You're like a toddler. You're over tired.
Just put the.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Phone down and go to sleep. But you know it's
it's it's going to get worse. So here we are
altogether on this canoe into brain stem land. When we
come back, strange science. We've got animals with superpowers. How
cool is that? This is the stuff you've never heard
about before. Also, Deborah earmuffs, don't listen to this. One
(17:39):
hundred foot mega tsunami could hit the US at any moment.
What I'll talk about it when we come back.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Hey, who wants to give away some stuff? I do.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
We have two Coachella Valley coffee swag bags to give away.
Now's the time you want the coffee swag bags because
with those potential tariffs on Brazil, the major export is coffee.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
You want to make sure.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
To have your stock piled up ready for you to go.
Each bag contains some cool swags, some classic Coachella Valley
coffee products. This coffee is really good, we've had it before.
Also a three month free coffee subscription. You'll get a
one two pound bag and a one twelve ounce bag
each month.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
This is huge.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
You will win this awesome swag bag big thanks to
Roastmaster General Cliff. Check them out at Coachella Valleycoffee dot Com.
Caller number six right now wins the Coachella Valley Coffee
swag bags.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Give them a call. One eight hundred and five two
oh one KFI.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
One eight hundred five two zero one k f I
it's time for strange science.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I'm asking you too much. I know that straight say.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
It's like weird science, but strange.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
So some animals get a bad rap, don't they. The
vulture is one of them, has to be one of
the most reviled creatures on Earth. The very word vulture
is an insult, greedy exploiter, and I understand the bad reputation.
They're not cute, they're not cuddly. They've got that stooped posture,
(19:29):
sit up straight, beady eyes, and then there's the whole
dead animal thing. I mean, they spend their days eating
dead animals, and they do so in a not so
appetizing way. They enter the corpse at its soft parts,
the mouth, the nose, the anus. According to National Geographic
Explorer Darcio Ganda, vultures definitely have an image problem because
(19:53):
here is the thing. There are real world consequences with
that with not having them.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
The vultures play a vital role in.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Our ecosystem, and this is the whole point behind the
National Geographics deep dive here on the superpowers of nature's
most unloved animals. They really are superpowers. Without vultures, bad
things happen. Vultures act as nature's cleaners. They hover up
those rotting carcasses. They prevent the spread of disease. Just
(20:27):
look at India alone. About thirty years ago, vultures nearly disappeared.
Many of them were accidentally poisoned by the medicine that
they were using on cows, and as a result, the
countryside was just littered with these rotting, germ filled animal corpses.
They were infecting the rivers, the drinking water they amplified
the population of feral dogs caring rabies.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
It was a disaster.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
The decline in vultures correlated with more than half a
million excess human deaths in India between two thousand and
two thousand five.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
And that is the thing.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Cuteness a powerful draw because of our brains programming, Like
why we want to feed babies when they act like
they do.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
It's because they're cute.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
But you know, some of our animal kingdom's outcasts need
our attention. They need the conservation dollars. You're not gonna
give a bunch of money to the vulture society, are you.
The three toed sloth is another one. Slow moving animals
got a bad wrap from the get go. One nineteenth
(21:36):
century account labeled them imperfect monsters of creation, adding equally
remarkable for their disgusting appearance and helpless condition.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
My god, slots can't help that.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Several species of algae grow in the grooves of their coarse,
matted fur, giving that giving them that green sheen. But
this is a secret weapon, a super power. The algae
helps camouflage all of the creatures that live in those canopies.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
The leopard slug.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
This is an animal that doesn't have a spine, and
that's hard to get behind, isn't it. But they have
a surprisingly useful set of adaptations. A crown of four
wriggling feelers atop the leopard slug's head allow them to
sense their surroundings, and their gooey ooze helps them mate.
(22:35):
The slug mucus, by the way, here's where you come in.
It's made from water, proteins, enzymes, other compounds. It is
where we came up with how to develop workable surgical adhesive.
Is from the leopard slug. It's quite the nature superpower.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
There's a bunch of them. We'll post a picture.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
I'm running out of time, but the Robuscus monkey, the
African bullfrog, honey badgers, they all play a role in
keeping us alive, and so maybe we start some sort
of ugly animal charity around here.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
My favorite is.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
The hairy frog fish HM, a toadlike creature, the most
grotesque of all the fish, according to one nineteenth century naturalist.
They're covered in a web of stringy spinles that help
them blend in among algae coated rocks and coral while
hunting prey.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
They're very cool and very ugly all right?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Coming up next the story that Mason Deborah Mark home
early one hundred foot megas tsunami that could hit the
United States at any moment, And as the headline says,
that is only the beginning.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
What you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Forty Justin Bieber to release his seventh studio album, everybody.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
That's right, It's happening tomorrow. Are you so excited?
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Elmer? I am?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I love the Bebes? Okay, what do you like? New Bebes?
Old Beabes? All the Bebes?
Speaker 5 (24:19):
What's the one where he's like black and white and
like shirtless?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
M that Beabes.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
It's gonna surprise you. I have no idea. So you're
not a believer.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
No, but there's this one album that was great and
I listened to it like back to front multiple times,
and I just want to get back to that Beaber,
you know, like mature Biber, R and B like early
twenties Beaber early time.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Okay, all right, so this one's gonna be called swag.
That's one of his favorite terms. If you are a believer,
I do have the track list, I do have my
hot hands on the track list. Let's see here all
I can take daisies? You con go, baby. I drove
a Yukon around for a while. What a wonderful vehicle
(25:05):
that was. I mean, I felt like I was in
a war, but I felt safe. Let's see things you do?
Butterflies way, it is first place soul food, walking away, Oh,
walking away. I wonder if that's about him leaving Hally Bieber.
I mean they've been kind of on the outside. He's
doing a lot of soul searching posts. She just came
into a lot of money selling her ass in her lipstick.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
There's a lot going on there. Let's see here. I
don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Is there some sort of Selena Gomez situation going on
in one of those tracks?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
We don't know. It'll be on.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
All of your platforms. There was a mysterious billboard that
popped up near Iceland's capital. Is that Rikovic depicts a
shirtless there you go? He's shirtless again at least Elmer
a shirtless justin Bieber, alongside the word swag. The same
ad went up today in La so there you go.
(26:00):
And then he tweeted a selfie today of him flipping
the bird while on a boat. Wait for it, shirtless
a ha. Anyway back to strange science. Okay, the tsunami
that's going to hit at any time. What if the
tsunami hits before Biver's album drops. I'm just putting it
out there.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I know I hate it too. I hate it, and
I don't think it's going to happen.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
The Cascadia Subduction Zone is what we're worried about. This
is a massive fault line stretching from northern California to
British Columbia, and it has been This is Deborah's least
favorite thing, eerily quiet for three hundred years. When it
finally ruptures, the Cascadia subduction Zone is expected to trigger
(26:46):
a colossal earthquake that could rattle the Pacific Northwest for minutes.
Think about the earthquakes you've felt have only really been
seconds long, and they felt like minutes, didn't they.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Ah.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Even worse than that earthquake that would last for minutes
is the tsunami wave. Nay, tsunami waves ze up to
one hundred feet would crash ashore unleashing devastation along the coast.
But according to a new study published in the Proceedings
of the National Academy of Sciences that would only mark
(27:23):
the beginning of Cascadia's cataclysm. The new analysis reveals that
land along the coast could drop by more than eight
feet in a matter of minutes.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Eight feet. That's two DeBras. That's true.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
I measure I measure things by how many deborahs. The
lead author of the study is Professor Tina Dora, and
she says, we talk about climate driven sea level rise,
which is occurring at three to four millimeters a year,
and that does eventually add up. But here we have
two meters of sea level rise in minutes. She wonders,
(28:06):
why we're not talking about this more well, Professor Tina,
Probably because we can't do jack s about it, Tina,
Probably because it makes Deborah worried for four to six days. Tina, yeah, Tina, Yeah,
What the hell are we supposed to do, Tina, build
up some sort of massive fence, Like, how do you
prepare for an earthquake? You cannot in an earthquake this
(28:29):
size at last minutes, in a tsunami that's one hundred
feet high. You're just screwed, Tina. You're screwed. At that point,
you know, we all know that there's a chance that
an asteroid could fly into the system and just take
us all out. But why would we spend more time
thinking about that? We have no control over it. The
(28:52):
Cascadia subduction zone marks the boundary where the oceanic Juan
Dai Fuca Plate is slipping beneath the North of American plate.
And as they lock together, because they don't move slowly,
these plates, they tend to get stuck, and when they
lock together, the strain accumulates over centuries, and then when
(29:13):
it finally releases, boom, there goes the earthquake. You're not
going to want to listen to this part. It's produced,
it's capable. Cascadia is producing quakes of multitude nine or more,
major events thought to strike every four hundred and fifty
to five hundred years. The last one occurred on January
(29:39):
twenty sixth, seventeen hundred. Its magnitude was between an eight
seven and a nine to two terrifying.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
So we're new.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
I've told you that, you have said over and over again,
you have We are due, yes, and it's not going
to be pretty.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
It's not. No, no, we will not be here to
talk about it. We will not.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
I mean John coblt gets excited.
Speaker 2 (30:05):

but he'll be smashed.

very soft inside.

You know, he's sitting right here and he has this looks. Oh,
he's going to end it. He's going to end it all.
Speaker 1 (30:32):

Speaker 2 (30:34):
He's getting a kick out.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Shannon is singing your praises, John, Yes she is.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
He knows that that doesn't mean anything good.
Speaker 1 (30:43):

will see you tomorrow. We have such a pack show,
you guys. I am so excited about tomorrow's show. We
