Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
The Chargers of the Life.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
I'm Shan and I have to report on.

Speaker 4 (00:14):
A football game.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
I've never once complained about that in my entire life.
They are the only two teams to play four preseason games.
Now the preseason schedule is just three games for all
the other teams, thirty other teams or whatever.

Speaker 5 (00:29):
Do you know you mentioned this? This has been going
on for a long time. Do you know when the
first Hall of Fame game was played?

Speaker 4 (00:37):
I do not know.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
I will look that.

Speaker 5 (00:41):
Up, though you don't have to do it right now.
I was just I was curious about it. I didn't
know if those.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
I would assume it. I mean, I know the stadium
was built in thirty eight. The first NFL Hall of
Fame game was played in nineteen sixty two between the
New York Giants and the Saint Louis Cardinals.

Speaker 4 (00:59):
And how did it end?

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Tie?

Speaker 4 (01:02):
It was a tie? Was twenty one all.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
It was a fund raising event to support the construction
of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which is just
across the field.

Speaker 5 (01:11):
The game predates the actual Hall of Fame. Yes, interesting,
is that the kind of stuff we're going to hear
on the No, that's.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
The stuff that nobody cares about, but you and I.
We like brain lint stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
That may be true. That's a good definition of this show,
of this show.

Speaker 5 (01:32):
You mentioned this strippers and brain lnt beer spas are
coming back. This apparently used to be a big deal.
Beer spas were something that existed a couple hundred years
ago and they're making a comeback.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
We'll I can.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
See like your whole weekend being planned out now now
that you're into golf and you're great at it. Golf,
you hit me, you play eighteen holes, and then you
head over to.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
The beer spa. You think I'm great at it?

Speaker 6 (01:55):
I do.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
I think you're probably really good at it. I think
you're going to have a very successful career as an
amateur golf.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Thank you. I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
You know why you're going to be great at it,
and I'll tell you why, and everybody who listened this
week will know.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
It's because you don't get in your head.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
If you don't have constant internal dialogue, you're going to
be great at any sport really, because you're not constantly
mfing yourself. And golf is one of those sports where
you get into your head and hold three, you're screwed.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
It's it's easy to get up in there.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
Yeah, okay, Well, like we were talking about earlier, there's
a lot for you to think about when you're do
I mean so I yeah, maybe maybe I don't know,
but that also proves that I'm not paying attention to
my own swing, which may be good.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
Are you kidding? That's excellent, You're on the right track.

Speaker 5 (02:43):
The best way to do it is to play with
other people. There was a guy last, one of the
guys that joined us. He didn't join us until the
second half, so we didn't tee off until the tenth.
He hit the ball in ninety degrees from the direction
he was aiming. And that's my kind of guy to
play with, because if I do, if I hit the
ball forty five degrees off of where I'm aiming, at

(03:06):
least I didn't hit a ninety degrees from where I
was aiming.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
M hmm, yeah, yeah, Well what else is going on?

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Time four? What's happening?

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Why?

Speaker 2 (03:19):
What's happening? Brought to you by Trajan Wealth.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
A story that we talked about we mentioned was this
double murder at this Devil's Den Park in Arkansas. It
was a couple, a young couple early forties I think,
who were there with their two daughters and they were
murdered on this hike.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
The daughters were uninjured.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
And now it gets weirder, A teacher is arrested for
the double murder while.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Getting a haircut.

Speaker 5 (03:54):
Yeah, I saw the video. I mean it's it's video
of a guy getting a haircut. But just the fact
that he was able to walk in there with apparently
nothing weighing on his conscience, like the you know, brutal
murder of two people in front of their children.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Well in the motive, what is it. He's twenty eight
years old. He's formerly taught at an elementary school in
North Texas.

Speaker 5 (04:18):
U And if you haven't, if you haven't seen this
guy's mugshot. He I can't imagine this guy as a teacher.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
He most recently taught the twenty twenty two twenty twenty
three school year before being placed on administrative leave. Ah
Donald Elementary is where he taught there in Texas. But
the two that he killed, Clinton and Kristen, forty three
and forty one years old, in front of their daughters. No,
have you read or have you heard how they were killed? No,

(04:49):
I haven't seen that anywhere.

Speaker 5 (04:50):
They are doing a news conference that just started like
thirty seconds ago in Little Rock, Arkansas with an update
on the case.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
But I haven't seen how.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
He had to have known them, right, Like, you gotta
find out the motive on this thing.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
That's not a random that's not a random murder.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
No, very very weird.

Speaker 5 (05:09):
Multiple earthquakes have hit San Bernardino Riverside Counties over the
course of.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
The last couple of hours.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
That little shake, yeah, it.

Speaker 5 (05:16):
Was about a four point three that hit just about
nine to thirty this morning. That got blood pomping around here.
And then we've had a handful, not a handful, well yeah,
about a handful of aftershocks of two point zero or larger.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Hulk Holgan died from a heart attack, that is what
would I believe, That's what the thought process was.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
But the official cause of TATH has come out.

Speaker 5 (05:44):
That's we didn't well, we kind of knew that his
heart was racing to catch up with the rest of
his health issues.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
So well, usually that's how people who are ultra fit die.
It's a heart issue, I mean when you see that,
and not that it was an untimely I mean it
was untimely, but he was what seventy one.

Speaker 5 (06:04):
Yeah, and that's after a series of issues this right
or not mental but physical health issues that he's had.
More National Guard troops are going to be leaving leaving
LA after they were deployed following the protest sparked by
the Immigration Enforcement Operations Chief. Pentagon spokesman said about thirteen
hundred and fifty federalized California National Guards members have been

(06:27):
released from their deployment in LA. In a post on
Twitter last night, Mayor Karen Bass took a victory lap.
She literally wrote, it's another win for Los Angeles.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (06:41):
As if she and she said, sit down, we will
continue this pressure until all troops are out of LA. Okay,
as if the Pentagon is taking calls from Karen Bass, yes, ma'am, Yes,
we'll get them right out, yes ma'am.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Well, yes, ma'am, who may I ask is the Angelino
let alone a group of Angelinos who are saying, all
those National Guard troops are still here. My life is
not great because they're still here. Like whose radar is
that even on?

Speaker 5 (07:10):
I don't know, all right, somebody who probably doesn't work
nine to five. I'd just say that beer spas, beer
Spa when we come back.

Speaker 6 (07:19):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 5 (07:26):
A bunch of stuff that's been going on today that
we were talking about earlier. Oral arguments actually in Washington,
d c. Federal Appeals Court about the tariffs. Remember a
couple weeks ago, a couple of months ago, the International
Trade Court had decided that the President exceeded his powers
when he declared a national emergency to put a bunch
of tariffs on imports. The appeals court is taking that

(07:48):
up today. Whatever happens, it is likely to go on
to the Supreme Court.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
No surprise.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Well, in Los Angeles we are surrounded by the wellness industry.
You watch the Real Housewise of Orange County. You see
all the latest wellness trends, whether it is a boutique
fitness gym, or they just shake the cellulite out of you,
or whether it's the you know, the vampire facial. We've

(08:14):
heard it all. But when you think about cities like
Baltimore or Denver or Chicago, you don't think of wellness.
You think of broughtworst and crabcakes and beer. And that's
what they're doing for wellness in these places. They're going
to beer spas and they're soaking in it.

Speaker 5 (08:36):
It's an interesting idea because you think about the ingredients
that would go into beer, where you got brewers yeast,
your hops, your barley malt, your hot water, and.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
You can find a lot of.

Speaker 5 (08:50):
Those things in in skincare products or like you would know, well,
I'm trying to think of what's the what's the name
of that stuff that you're supposed to soak in? You have, uh, soap,
when when you have like chicken pox.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Sneaking soda, but even that even oh like cama mill
or yes.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Something along those lines. I don't know if it's camma
meal or calamine calm, that's it.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
I just remember oat mail oatmeals another one.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
Yeah, So those types of ingredients would would make perfect sense.
So there are spas in that are coming up in
the United States. They're in Europe significant to a significant degree.
But there's a place in Sykesville, Maryland called Beer Bath
b I e R.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Beer Bath.

Speaker 5 (09:44):
There's one in Denver called Oakwell Beer Spa. One in
Chicago called Piva Beer Spa that has things like beer
soak where you literally sit in a tub full of beer,
a beer mask, a sauna, assault room, four D massage chairs.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
They say it's great for your skin.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
It improves damage, elact elasticity, exfoliates you, it hydrates you,
it softens, it clears acne, allegedly antioxidant properties as well.
Maybe you have a bathtub at home, you've got beer.
Maybe do a little soaky soak today and let us
know tomorrow what the results were.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
And just report back.

Speaker 5 (10:25):
Yeah, I don't have I mean, I have a good
stock in the fridge, but I don't know if I
have enough to fill a Do.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
You have any expired beer in there somewhere you love expired?

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Sure, I'm sure you have some. Pour all your.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Expired beer in the tub, but take a little soaky soak.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
Let us know how it goes. Yeah, Okay, we'll see
how moist you are tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Excuse me, Well, it says it helps with hydration.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
How do you have to show us your legs, which
you are very shy about.

Speaker 5 (10:57):
By the way, you don't get you don't get drunk
from soaking in beer?

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Who thought that?

Speaker 5 (11:03):
Well? I mean, I think there's probably some people who
are concerned that the skin is very poor.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
You would ever think that you would get drunk?

Speaker 1 (11:10):
I mean, I guess since there is the whole shooting
alcohol in your butt that makes you get drunk or quicker.

Speaker 5 (11:16):
Now you told me not to continue the what's up
with butts?

Speaker 1 (11:20):
So you get an entire segment with several stories about rectums.

Speaker 5 (11:24):
And then you said no more, and now you're going
straight to the your butt chugging your beer spat stuff.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Because I was confused of your line of thinking of
how anyone would ever think soaking in beer would get
you drunk.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
According to the SPA Beerland.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
Smell like beer, and then you and then the soaking I.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Mean, and then me, I mean the you know you,
anybody you not you specifically not that you have a
certain stink that wouldn't go well with barley.

Speaker 5 (11:57):
According to the SPA beer Land website, the first beer
bats were recorded about two thousand years ago, long practiced
in folk medicine. Grandmothers and great grandmothers recommended brewers yeast
for many ailments. So they said that this is maybe
one of those things that you can't really pinpoint exactly

(12:17):
what the wellness benefits are, but it just makes you
feel better because you're.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
It's a waste of beer, is what I'm saying here.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
I mean, why would you want to waste perfectly good
beer by soaking your naked body and filth in there?

Speaker 4 (12:33):
I mean, drink the beer.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
And you'll drink the beer. There's no hangover. There's that
I don't know. I mean, And what kind of beer
are they using?

Speaker 4 (12:43):
Is my other thing? You know, are you talking.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
About they're using the Milwaukee Are you talking about craft beer?

Speaker 4 (12:49):
What are we doing with They're.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
Saying that it's not necessarily a tub full of bud light.
It's a spa will combine brewers, yeast, the hops, the marley,
the sorry mark.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
That can be really expensive. You start getting all the
stuff that's not bud light, and.

Speaker 5 (13:04):
Yeah, especially if you're competing with actual breweries to buy
those same ingredients.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
I mean, you and me were bud light bath people.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
We're not fancy ipa bath people. We're not session ipa
bath people.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
I would save the IPA to drink while I was
in the bud water. But exactly, Okay, I agree with that.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
That's good.

Speaker 5 (13:25):
Well, strange science brings to us something today that we've
never ever had to say before. Radioactive wasps ah still
tamer than your butt segment that I missed out on early.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Okay, let's be clear, it's not just called a butt segment.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
Okay, it's a rectum segment.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
What's Up with your butt?

Speaker 4 (13:46):
You named it too, which is problematic.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Hey, stop leaving town. You know what? Listen to you.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
I've learned my lesson if I will quit this job today,
if it means you will never do another segment called
what Up with your Butt?

Speaker 4 (14:01):
And then like follow it with four different butt stories?

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Like what?

Speaker 1 (14:05):
How did you even come across a pallethora of butt
stories today?

Speaker 4 (14:08):
Did you search for them? Did you seek them out?

Speaker 5 (14:11):
You don't need to know everything about my Google news alerts.

Speaker 6 (14:15):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six.

Speaker 5 (14:19):
Forty Shannon's in Canton, Ohio for Tonight's Pro Football Hall
of Fame game. The Chargers taken on the Detroit Lions.
They're at the Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton. You
leave from Kent, you gotta go all the way back
to Cleveland's airport.

Speaker 6 (14:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Last time I checked, there's no airport in Canton, Ohio
that services a triple seven. So yeah, we'll be going
back to that. You know what, I didn't even think
about that, so thank you for reminding me that.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
I'll tack on an extra hour and a half.

Speaker 5 (14:52):
Good news is the show doesn't start until nine tomorrow,
so you have plenty of time to make it back
across the country.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yes, but we're also going to our podcast tomorrow morning. Yes, Yes,
weekend we'll fix.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
So don't ask me any hard questions.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
I will not. I will. I'll bring caffeine if you
need some.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
I'll be rolling in well, you know, I'll try to
sleep on the flight and then at least off a
couple hours.

Speaker 5 (15:16):
Tomorrow. The Dodger's taken on the Rays in Tampa Bay.
First pitches at four point thirty. You can listen to
all the Dodger games on AM five seventy LA Sports
Live from the Gallpin Motors Broadcast booth and stream all
the Dodgers games in HD on the iHeartRadio app. Used
the keyword AM five seventy LA sports.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
We've done movies about like monkeys or chimps or apes
taking over the planet.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
Have we ever done one with wass.

Speaker 5 (15:40):
No, But that doesn't mean we can't. It's time for
strange science, strange silience.

Speaker 6 (15:51):
It's like weird science, but strange.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
So workers at a site in South Carol that once
made key parts for nuclear bombs have found a radioactive
wasp nest, but officials said there's no danger to anyone.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, we've heard that before. That's how the movie starts.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
Yeah, that's always a lie.

Speaker 5 (16:17):
They said that they found this wasp nest on July
third on a post near some tanks where liquid nuclear
waste is stored, and that the nest itself had a
radiation level of ten times what is allowed by federal regulations.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Now, I don't know what that means.

Speaker 5 (16:35):
Does the federal government literally have regulations for the allowed
level of radiation for wasps nests. The workers were able
to spray the nest with insect killer, they removed it.
They disposed of it as radioactive waste. And they said, also,
this is how the movie starts. They didn't find any wasps.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
What wasps?

Speaker 5 (16:58):
They said of the group A Savannah Riversite Watch is
a watchdog group. So the report is at best incomplete.
It doesn't detail where the contamination came from. It doesn't
say how the wasps might have encountered it, the possibility
that there could be another radioactive nest if there is
a leak somewhere.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Listen to this.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
The watchdog group, Savannah Riversite Watch has a spokesperson. His
name is Tom Clements, and Tom says, I'm as mad.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
As a hornet. Uh huh.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
That they didn't explain where the radioactive waste came from,
or if there's some kind of leak from the waste
tanks that the public should be aware of. I think
Tom should not get cute when he's talking about being
a watchdog of the radioactive wasps. I don't need him
to say I'm as mad as a hornet. No, Tom,
I need you to take your job seriously. We've got

(17:52):
some radio active wasps flying around and in your The
buck stops with.

Speaker 5 (17:57):
You, mister fun allegory.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
Don't be funny. There's certain people you don't want to
be funny. The people in charge of the radioactive wasps,
your doctor pilots all people that I don't need.

Speaker 5 (18:09):
Humor from teeth can really creep people out. And there
is a new drug out of Japan that is about
to begin clinical trials that can regrow missing teeth. It's
thought that a long long time ago humans had the
ability to grow at least three sets of teeth instead

(18:31):
of just the two that most of us have, and
that we somehow evolved out of that.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
So aren't there those animals that are aquatic that have
like three sets?

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Are those sharks? Those are called sharks. I feel like
there's an there's there's fish too.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
There's fish sets of teeth as well, But yeah, sharks
would probably be the most common. But isn't that terrifying
when you see like a couple rounds of them? A
few rounds of teeth in a mouth not right well?
And nightmare stuff?

Speaker 5 (19:02):
In this case, they're saying that the head of dentistry
and oral surgery at the Medical Research Institute Katana Hospital
in Osaka has identified a protein that limits tooth growth
and a new antibody medicine blocks that protein's function. It
was tested in mice. This is going to creep you
out because they said there were hugely encouraging results. And again,

(19:25):
I think you're right. If you look at cute little
mouse and he's got extra rows of teeth, you would
crap your pants, regardless of how big that mouse is
or not. That's a creepy, creepy thing. They want to
use it, this new drug on people with and dauntia. Sorry, anodauntia,
a hereditary condition affects about a tenth of a percent

(19:47):
of all humans. Causes very wide gaps between teeth that
makes it very hard to chew food. Researchers said that
this may be a way to help you regrow teeth
that would otherwise eyes be missing.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
Oh my god, didn't that creepy out?

Speaker 2 (20:05):
I don't want to I don't want people with extra
set Do you know.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
That I am not your father, that that never happened.

Speaker 5 (20:16):
Yes, partly because he says he is the father, but
I know what you mean.

Speaker 4 (20:20):
Oh yeah, I messed up that part.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Yes you did.

Speaker 5 (20:24):
But also very loud phone, right, it was very loud
in my headphones.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Happy your father night, Thank you for fueling my nightmares.

Speaker 5 (20:35):
We'll talk about the Mandela effect that tricks our brain
into false memories. Boom, Gary and Shannon will continue.

Speaker 6 (20:45):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
Hey, gang, So we're just sitting here in the truck.
Turn on your show, and we're hearing crap about uh
beer bags and taking it up the rectum and that
you guys are like, did you say bud Light or
but like it is your favorite beer?

Speaker 5 (21:11):
I don't know neither one of those.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Right. That's what happens to the show. It goes in
a weird direction. When you started off.

Speaker 7 (21:21):
With butts off again, it's not so you did that,
it's happened segment. It was wellness, it's just South Pole
oriented wellness.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
Have you had a colonoscopy yet?

Speaker 2 (21:35):
No? Stop, get keep your mind to get it?

Speaker 4 (21:39):
What are you going to get in there?

Speaker 2 (21:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (21:43):
Because I was waiting till after my vacation, but I
guess it's after my vacation.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
So okay, well, I got a schedule. Mind. You want
to do it same day?

Speaker 2 (21:52):
No?

Speaker 1 (21:52):
No, no, I don't know why you're making it weird.

Speaker 4 (21:57):
Could just get done on the same day, may together?

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Got it? Get it? Two for one, and you know what,
I'm going to add a third. John Cobalt has not
had one. He hasn't had he's had one. No, he
has not, He's never had one.

Speaker 4 (22:11):
Never.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Interesting? Why not? Because what do you do.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
All the time?

Speaker 2 (22:15):
What do you do when you find out.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
Treat the cancer?

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Sometimes?

Speaker 4 (22:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (22:21):
Sometimes, well, I mean sometimes Listen.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
I don't want to get into it.

Speaker 5 (22:25):
If you find something early, does it change It's very
treatable if you catch it, and.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
If you don't catch it early, you're screwed.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
I know that. But I'm saying, does it change your life?

Speaker 3 (22:40):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Your life span? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (22:45):
And again I think that's not necessarily the true.

Speaker 6 (22:49):
Yes it is.

Speaker 4 (22:49):
Listen. We're not doctors, so we're not listen.

Speaker 5 (22:53):
I'm not arguing against the cold aspia. I think everybody
should get it, so you know where you are.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
I was on a FaceTime call with who my girl
friends from high school, and one of them said, I've
had this pain in my admen.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
I go, well, where is it? And she goes, oh,
it's about here. I go, that's high up.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
I go it could be an ulcer and the other
one goes, okay, listen. We went to Nevado high school.
When is your doctor's appointment? Like, we are not the
people to be sitting around talking about what is what?

Speaker 4 (23:17):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
Like we, you and I should not sit here and
talk about anything about colon's or anything.

Speaker 5 (23:25):
Yeah, idiot, all right, you mentioned you mentioned that very
famous but never actually spoken line, Luke, I am your father.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
This is what it sounded like from the Empire strikes Back.
Never told you what happened. He told me enough, He
told me.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
I am.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
Hi and their father. Wow, that is chilling.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
But we all remember that line as Luke, I am
your father, because so was.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Luke completely caught off guard. Have you not seen the movie?

Speaker 5 (24:05):
No, listen, I'll get a colonoscopy? You watch Empire strikes Back?

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Very similar. Okay, this is what they refer to. They
put me under for that. That's not funny.

Speaker 5 (24:18):
This is what they refer to now as the Mandela effect.
This is where, especially collectively, we remember or we think
we remember things in a certain way when reality is
completely different.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Now, that's like the Bernstein Bears. It was the Bernstein Bears.

Speaker 4 (24:39):
Yeah, and the.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Cow on laughing cow cheese does not have a nose ring.

Speaker 5 (24:44):
Or the cornucopia in the fruit of the loom logo,
which does not exist.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
What exactly Now.

Speaker 5 (24:53):
One of the things that they're saying is going to
make this even worse is the AI images that we've seen,
both images and video images. For example, you remember one
of the first AI images that really made its way
around the Internet was of Pope Francis wearing a big
white puffer jacket.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Oh yeah, that's not a real picture.

Speaker 5 (25:16):
But when I say that, people remember that image and
they go, yeah, but it could have been.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
They called the Mandela effect because people have a false
memory about the death of Nelson Mandela. He died from
a lung infection that they could have caught early if he'd.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
Gone and gotten the kolioscophy.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
But he died long and people falsely remember he died
while in prison in the eighties for fighting apartheid.

Speaker 4 (25:44):
Yeah, so that's why they call it the Mandela effect.

Speaker 5 (25:47):
One of the things that our brain does also that
is very weird, is it edits our life while we sleep.
We've evolved a sleep cycle that goes from non ram
to rem sleep and then back again. But we didn't
know why it would go back and forth. Why does
it oscillate like that. Researchers said that they have found

(26:08):
that the non REM sleep actually helps strengthen your memories,
but the REM sleep cleans them up and prevents them
from overlapping.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Very crazy, what your brain is? Yeah, how does it
know what to edit? I don't know. I do not know.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
Your brain edits out all your thoughts.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Say it again, exactly. I wish it would edit you.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Okay, that was low hanging fruit. Your brain could have
edited that.

Speaker 5 (26:36):
Out probably, but again I don't have a filter. The
levels of brain activity rise during that transition from n
REM to REM sleep. The neurons start firing faster, the
eyes move back and forth in our eyelids, and our
brains become dream projectors. And then once that stage is complete,
it says, the brain then transitions back to non REM

(26:59):
sleep and the whole thing starts over again.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Here's the thing about the butt segment that you planned
and then did you put it in the first hour
like you couldn't wait to get to the rectum segment.

Speaker 5 (27:13):
I knew that you were going to put up a fight,
and I bet the fact that you were going to
have a potential issue getting on the air at the
beginning of the show.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Whenever it's gone, do you do a butt segment whenever
I'm gone?

Speaker 4 (27:27):
Like, is this your thing? Is this your bali wick?

Speaker 2 (27:29):
No?

Speaker 4 (27:30):
Okay, is this the first time you've ever done one?

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Yeah, I'm pretty happy with it. Are you doubling down
on it?

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Like?

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Am I going to do it again?

Speaker 4 (27:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Like it's tomorrow gonna bring us fresh butt?

Speaker 1 (27:43):
Dude?

Speaker 2 (27:43):
You have men to call it the double ham wellness section.

Speaker 4 (27:46):
No, no, I don't.

Speaker 5 (27:48):
All right, well, hey, today four pm is pregame for
