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):
Well, welcome to twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Your voice sounds like you just woke up and it's
a new year, and I wasn't expecting that we got it.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Stayed up late.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
You stayed up late. What were you doing, shooters?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
I was probably doing not. I was probably doing some
hard couch time. Oh, just like just making a mess
of the couch.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, well that you don't have much talk.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
With What did you just look at my ass? What? No?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Not in the new year. That was a very twenty
twenty five move. In the new year, I am going
to be respectful of your ass.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Oh that's the nicest thing you said in ten years.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Yes, here we are on New Year's Day, and yes
you may still be watching the replay of the Rose Parade.
We took the day off technically because we were waiting
for the call. We have been in the bullpen, if
you want to say that. I don't think anybody knows
we're in the bullpen, but we're in the bullpen. If
something happens. One of the major networks or local channels
(01:10):
goes off the air and they don't have their regular
anchors for the Rose parades.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I didn't sleep all night. That's why I don't have
just woke up voice, because I've been waiting for the
call all night practice. I've been applying makeup, reapplying, refreshing, reapplying, refreshing, reapplying, refreshing.
I've been fluffing my hair. I've been doing all the
thing that presentable.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
People do right, just in case, just in case.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
But here I am no Rose parade to call.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah, we didn't.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
We didn't get the call this year, not a surprise.
But it was a great Rose Parade, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I mean, I would tell you all my thoughts and
all my notes, but I won't because they're all wasted.
My heart is wasted.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
We have binders full of wasted Rose Parade notes.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, I mean, I can't tell you the deep dive
I did with that third Regiment Battalion Horses unit came
out with the ELMANI float.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yeah, I you know what, that is a particularly interesting one.
I didn't spend as much time on that one.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I talked to the grandmother of the lead horse now
and I heard all about that horse's childhood. Where that
I mean, I don't want to get into it. It's
a little bit of homework.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I actually sense a little bit of wistful, like there's
a little bit of pooling at the bottom of your eyes,
like you this was an emotional thing for you.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
It meant something, Gary, it did. There's certain assignments that
means something. It's like when I learned Russian to call
the parade when the Kings won the Stanley Cup. You know,
I learned Russian that whole Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday into
the Monday, which was the parade, you know. And I
take this seriously. So when I thought there was a
possibility i'd get the call for the Rose parade, I
(02:48):
started studying. I made some calls, I went to some stables,
I did the work. But here I am with my hairquoffed,
my makeup on, my horse, knowledge on point, and no
phone call.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I do think the.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Rose pedal covered jacket that you're wearing is a little
muchsh Oh, you can smell it, trust me, you can
smell it. Though they smell delightful.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Did you see my pants?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
No, oh my gosh, what are those it's hey, Gary,
you're wearing hay pants, fresh hay.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Fresh hay pants to begin the year.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
If you need to do any business, you come over
here and sit on my lap.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Wait what, it's a.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Horse's joke, don't they. I've got a bunch of horse
jokes ready to go. They're all in the stable too.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Well, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I'm curious to see that which compost pile your clothing
is going to end up in later today?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Uh? Quite the Rose Bowl outfit, thank you.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
If we had the opportunity to call the Rose Bowl
all right, sorry, the Rose Parade today, I keep.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I mean, we could do both. We could do we
could do both. That's the thing they're missing out on.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You know what, that's an excellent point.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
It is an excellent point.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
We don't have to be the greatest parade announcers, nor
do we have to be the greatest Rose Bowl football.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
We're serviceable.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
But we could do both.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
We're parade slash game managers.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
You know what. I yeah, in twenty twenty six, Yeah,
we need to put that on our resume.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
We'll sweeten that up a little bit. We'll say, Hey,
not only are we offering ourselves up for the parade,
but we can do the game as well.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
And listen, I would suggest this only because of you know,
gender roles and people like to roll. You know, they
got to make decisions about stuff, and it is twenty
twenty six and girls can be doctors, I guess. But
what if you dressed up as the well, that wouldn't
make any sense.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I was gonna say, you.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Dress up as the college football player, and I would
dress up as the parade announcer so that we could
show that we could do both.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Of those things. But it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
If you have a player, it would be the announcer,
and then then we would just both look like we're
wearing nice clothes outside of the Rose pedal jacket that
you've got.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Obviously, we would change in between assignments, right, you know.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Would we have a car, we'd have to take our
own vehicles between the parade route and the Rose Bowl, or.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
We take one of those Rose Parayed vans. They have
a whole fleet of Rose Parade vehicles. They've got vans,
they've got trucks, they've got tesla's, they've got way mos,
they have everything, and they all are white and they
all have that rose parade seal on them. I am
pretty sure if we called the parade and then called
the game, they could set aside one of those vehicles
(05:32):
for us.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Would it be too much to ask for a helicopter? Yes, okay?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
In Pasadenas, okay, a couple miles from each other, a
helicopter may be too much. This may me this may
be why we haven't gotten the call. You're getting a
little too loftul Well, I'm less maintenance.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I'm just spitball in here. I just want to know
what the limits are, the parameters. So I just want
to set expectations. So the expectation what you're saying is
no helicopter, but maybe a white panel van.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Right, no windows? They I don't know winds windows on
those vans. Yeah, well, because we'd have to change in
the van. Probably we don't want to show up to
the game in our rose pedal jacket with our hay pants.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Hay pants is probably my favorite term of the New year. Yeah,
hey pants. All right, here's how we're going to do
this today January.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
First, come sit on my lap and do your business.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Wow that did not sound good.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
See you're right, you hear it? Okay, my god.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
We are off on this January first, so we will
be playing some of the best of the Gary and
Shannon Joe. But when we come back, we wanted to
get you started off the right way in twenty twenty
I mean though.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Right, like animals go to the bathroom and hey, yeah,
but it's all bad. I realize that, but like it
does make sense on one level, Oh, Oliver.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Maybe the tiniest level, because then it gets pretty dirty
after Ever.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I don't think you're coming back from this show. Yeah,
nice try.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
So we will be doing some best but when we
come back, we're going to look at some of the
new California laws for twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
To get you started right, Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
And as that that Rose Parade plays in the background,
Welcome to twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
This is the most.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Of this show is going to be best of but
we do have some new content, including the fact that
twenty twenty six January first brings with it a whole
new set of laws in the state of California.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
And I feel like this first law is a throwback.
How many times have I read this on the new
laws for insert year here a plastic bag ban in California. Okay,
I feel like we did this fifteen years ago. Plastic
bags are on their way out in California. The article reads,
this is SB ten fifty three. Apparently the state is
(08:01):
expanding its ban on those single use plastic bags to
include all plastic bags. So now, if you have a
plastic bag out of sprouts, they'll shoot you sight on
a side unseen.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Well, you can bring your own.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
There's a firing squad that'll come out and just end
it for you.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
You can bring your own plastic bag. But you can't.
They will not provide one for you.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
So what do they do? What they say? You're just
gonna carry out your groceries in your arms. Well, what
if I'm a handicap?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
This is the beginning of.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I mean, what if I'm physically altered? What can you
say handicapped anymore?
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Well, you can't say if you are a handicap? Is
that what I said? Yeah, okay, you are a handicapped person,
or if you have a handicap.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I feel like handicap is pejorative.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Or handy capable.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
That's that sounds like a like an infomercial tool. Okay,
do you need a hand capable? You can buy five
and get five for free.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
In this case, Sprouts would make you buy a paper
bag back in the old day, paper bag. In the
old days, Oliver, this is where it used to work out.
If you went to a grocery store, you could get
a paper bag and take said groceries home with you.
Now they try to squeeze every single penny and nickel
(09:22):
out of you by making you buy bags. So either
get your own or do whatever. That's that's the way
it's gonna That's the way it's gonna go from now.
But does this mean that we're not going to see
plastic bags floating around the freeways like we've seen for
the last twenty years.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
No, they'll still be there. How about this one?
Speaker 3 (09:38):
New food delivery platforms, A new law requires food delivery platforms,
you know the Uber eats, the door dash post makes
et cetera real problem to provide a full refund to
the customer if the order's not delivered, or if the
wrong order was delivered.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Now, if I'm high and I am ordering you know
something from McDonald Sure this has happened to me before.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Wait, not the high part, not the high part.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I was drunk and I ordered food from McDonald's to
the hotel. I think I got two forty piece chicken
McNuggets and they only brought one forty piece chicken McNuggets.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Who was in your party? It was just a couple
of us, oh okay. But there was a bar, oh okay.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
And we were watching the late game and people were hungry.
We needed nuggets and needed yes, yes, go on, and
they only brought the one forty piece of the nuggets.
Maybe it was a twenty piece and I ordered two
something of that nature. Anyway, So at that point, I'm
going to file some sort of grievance with the State
(10:51):
of California that my second twenty piece McNugget order hasn't
been delivered to the bar.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yes, well, technically, how does it work?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Do I take pictures of the sea of the lack
of nuggets, of like the five guys at the end
of the bar that didn't get the nuggets and they
look sad? How do you prove that the wrong food
or the wrong.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Order was deliberate? Great question.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I don't know the specifics, but they're supposed to have
all of these apps now have to have an automated
uh uh, what would you call it? System for complaint?
And then if that's.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
So, I have to figure out the app in that state.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
That's the other part about it. It makes fault.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
So if and if you can't figure it out or
if it doesn't d nuggets. You have to have a
human available to answer questions.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Oh, they have to.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
They have to have someone who actually will answer the
call and be like, excuse me, ma'am, have you been drinking?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I like that you said the way you said though,
you have to have a human available, like I have
to find somebody who's the human dist for me?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Sure, somebody handle my CIRs A First of all.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Can you can you count my nuggets?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Can you sit on my hay pants and count my
nuggets and tell me if you count for twenty did I.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Order shoot twenty packs or forty forty? Where does this say?
Speaker 1 (12:10):
And and here's the thing. When you do that move,
you've got to make sure you have enough dipping sauces
because nobody wants a dry nugget at the bar.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Overdraft fees, credit unions can't charge an overdraft fee or
a non sufficient funds fee above fourteen dollars or the
amount set by the Federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
If it is lower, that's not a big deal.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Streaming services not allowed to play ads with a louder
volume than the show or the movie Behaved.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah, men, that drives me insane. The levels of specifically
prime I've noticed. I've noticed it watching Landman. The ads
are much hotter than the show.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Which is weird.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
It's been a law on TV for a long time
that they can't do that.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I mean, it's a brilliant move because when you've got
somebody who who's you know, retired folks, and they're sitting
there and they're watching those infomercials for ready Whip, Handicap,
whatever it was that you advertised earlier, handy capable, handy capable,
they're like, I need that, and when they're shouting at
people through the TV, they actually hear it. It's very smart,
(13:19):
but it's also very low.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
And then vehicle sales starting in October, actually this law
will allow customer to return a used vehicle within three days,
although they maybe charge a restocking fee, but it would
require auto dealers to disclose the full price of a
vehicle bands the unwanted junk products and services that can
increase the price of the vehicle.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I like the parking ticket. One reduces or waves parking
fines if the owner of the vehicle can provide evidence
that they can't pay for the ticket due to homelessness
or financial hardship. I could or really used this when
I first moved to Lack, I could not pay for
those parking tickets. At one point I had a boot
on my car.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
You also had a warrant.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I had a warrant as well. Thank you for never
letting me forget.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
We'll do more of these as we continue. Your separate
thing might spread some through tomorrow's show as well. Separate Vehicles,
Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Breathe that air.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Breathe it smell it smell that year. I don't want
to smell it that much.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
This happens to be some of the best of Gary
and Shannons.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Hey, Gary Shannon, love you guys.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
You're great. You're keeping you laughing. I just had a realization,
you guys are the twenty first century equivalent of George
Burns and Gracie Allen.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
And that's a comblem.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
You guys have a.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Great day, right, thank you Burns and Allen.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Gary, Hey, Shannon, Hey Gary, I hear you have a
tattoo on your your buttocks of Oracles Stadium?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Is that true? Is that why you wear a speed out?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
All right?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Gary, your stud good job. If I had a tattoo
on my buttocks? Why would I wear the speedo to
cover the tattoo?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Well, it's a very it's a thong speedo.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Oh it is.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yeah, it's a RACI strikes an ass less speedo. I
don't know how that would work, I mean resilient speedo.
Would you get a tattoo of Oracle Park? Would that
be the park you got? If you were to tattoo
your ass, what.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Would it be on my butt?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I mean, as much as I loved Candlestick, I would
not tattoo Candlestick on my ass. First of all, yes,
never mind.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
I wanted to know what self deprecating line was going
to come out of your mouth.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
It would make Candlestick you could do so small. Candlestick
Park has never looked so small.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
You can do Candlestick Park and Candlestick Point and good
section of the bay right there.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Oh my god, what were we talking about?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I think I could see the Bay Bridge from here.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Seriously, what were we talking.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
We're talking about layoffs and people times and AI.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
This is getting crazy.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Obviously, training AI has become a job. The AI giants,
those companies that are coming down the pike with all
these new AI tools desperately need money and energy and information.
We know that, right, That's that's how they have started,
(16:43):
or that's how they've gotten to where they are now,
that's how they progressed, but they also need at this point,
they still need humans in the process. CEOs for these
AI companies have promised there will be people in the
pipeline the entire time, somewhat.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
As a safeguard.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
I think that's the kind of feeling, but it's not
clear if that means that humans would be the ones
making the consequential decisions, or that we would simply review
all of the work that the AI has done and
then take the wheel in case of an emergency, which
would amount to unplugging the computer. We've all seen that
movie where you try to unplug the computer and it
(17:25):
still goes.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
They say that right now.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Humans are a key part of the loop that act
as mechanical turks of generative AI magic, like the eighteenth
century chess automaton that was steered by a hidden master.
They said that AI trainers perform unseen labor to make
machines appear smarter than they actually are.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
There are.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Different companies using different AI models that they have then
kind of pear down, steer in the right direction, if
you want to call it. That change the queries that
you use to figure. It's to help AI figure things out.
Uber announced it a new initiative to allow drivers to
perform some simple AI tasks to make money during the
times they're not driving things like help self driving tech
(18:15):
companies develop tech they would help train robots to drive
and eventually put Uber drivers out of business. Amazon announced
augmented reality glasses this month that are designed to help
delivery drivers do their jobs more safely.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
We're just talking to somebody who works here who used
a I for for his job purposes, and you said
to him, oh, so you use an AI now, And
he goes, yeah, I gave up. It works really well.
I use it all the time for everything.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I'm not saying I haven't. I haven't used it.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
In fact, I'm pretty astounded at the things that it
would come up with. For example, sacific As you want
a fireball in your backyard or fire pit or whatever
they call them, you can tell almost any one of
these different AI prompts, rock chatchpt whichever one, come up
(19:15):
with a list of five fireballs that would fit my
backyard or fit appropriately, that would have this kind of ignition,
the old fashion or the bluetooth ignition or however, or
that would fit in with my home automation system that
I have, and it will come up with It will
(19:36):
come up with this list for you, and in some
cases provide you the links to the website where you
can buy that thing in a moment.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Well, not only whatever research you were.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Gonna do for weeks at a time now takes place
in sex.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
It's wonderful and you don't even need to seek it out.
Your AI solutions come to you most of the time
if you're just googling.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
That's the worrisome part.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Piles all of it, all of the web browsers now, Microsoft,
edge Ye, Safari, they will put their AI results up front.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Yeah, because a lot of time.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
It actually answers your question more more succinctly than it
would if you were to go through and try to
find that same information.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I wonder if they have done something to get rid
of the hallucinations that were picking up steam in terms
of people knowing about them, of AI just making things up,
Like what was the purpose of the AI hallucinations where
it would just make things up? What was the purpose
of that? Was that to see how dumb we are,
to see if we fall for everything.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
If the computer was probing to see how dumb we were.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, Like, I want to know more about those, like
if they're not happening anymore, and if when they were,
if they were put in there for a specific purpose.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I was talking to a friend who works in the
visual arts, and we were discussing the visuals of AI
and how they've changed recently, recently within the last few weeks. Yeah,
of it's so much better now. Even the still images,
the moving images that have come out that don't do
(21:09):
things like the hands were always really hard for AI
to get accurate. And you could see if you looked
closely at some of these videos, fingers would meld into
each other and then separate, and they would be extra hands,
and that was really hard for it to figure out.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
The newly created videos have figured that out.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
So whatever, as it continues to learn from itself and
continues to learn from our feedback, which is that didn't
look like a real hand, it's got to be doing
the same thing when it comes to those hallucinations that
you're talking about. If we can feed give it the
feedback of that doesn't make sense, that never happened. It's
you know, it will tell itself teach itself not to
(21:51):
make up stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
We hope.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI ams.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Exporting testosterone is giving women back things that they haven't
had in the ever. In some cases, the couple of
women that were documented in an article in The New
York Times take an amount of testosterone that has brought
(22:19):
their levels higher than what women produce naturally at any
point in their lifetime.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
This is interesting. Jessica Medina is forty one. She lives
in Orange County. She says, it changed my marriage. She's
got four kids in the house and sex is happening
six times a week. She says, up from how about
never she had to put a lock on the bedroom door.
She said that she and her husband had attended a
marriage the kids out right, got it, they're just time out.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Shouldn't there be a lock on the door already? Yes? Yes, okay.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
She and her husband had attended a marriage growth group
at church for years, but it took testosterone for their
relationship ship to be this, the six times a week sex.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
This, She says.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
She's a little less emotional, a little less sentimental than
she used to be, but she doesn't have time for
that kind of thing anyway. It's more like get stuff done,
handle business, workout, have sex. Every guy is googling testosterone,
and how can I get it delivered to my home
by the close business? How can I get this.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Done right now?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Just as estrogen is a crucial hormone for men, testosterone
is important for women as well instremental and development of
bones and muscles, and sexual function. But it peaks in
women in their late teens and early twenties and then
just decline so much so that by the age of
sixty the level of testosterone in many women is about
(23:55):
half men start out, for example, in young adulthood with
ten times the amount of testosterone of women as is
evidenced by what you're saying here. I mean, right, we
grow hair, we think about sex all the time. We
grow more hair, and we think about more sex all
the time. And if those are just two of the
things that the testosterone can be credited with, perhaps that's
(24:20):
what you have to think about. With less available testosterone,
women have fewer erotic thoughts, They have less motivation to
pursue sexual pleasure. Some of the mechanisms that make sex
feel good don't work as well. And for men affect
experiencing the effects of low testosterone, things like low libido,
(24:41):
low energy, loss of muscle mass. The FDA has all
kinds of stuff on the market.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Some things are going too far with testosterone. I assume
you've got to kind of play around with what dose
works for you.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Question Mark.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
I don't know, not a doctor, but the There's one
woman she says, I went years with no sex drive.
She's an influencer in Utah. She says after going on
a high dose of testoster in that year, she rediscovered
her attraction to her husband. She said, my body would
heat up just from him walking in the room. Are
(25:18):
you trying to figure out if that's what happens to
your wife when you walk in the room. Okay, I haven't.
I haven't watched this season that much of Real Housewives
of Orange County, even though I'm a devote It fell
off my radar. But apparently three of the shows women
have described their testosterone regimens, and so at least one
(25:42):
of them. Gretchen said she had to recently reduce her levels.
She had to take hers down because she was humping everything.
Her co star Jennifer Pedronti commiserated, you'll just hump and
hump and hump away. It does. I like her, by
the way, the New Housewife, Jennifer.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
This doesn't come without the side effects, though, And that's
the that's the part. What are the side effects, Well,
you turn into a teenage boy.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
But if you're just humping your husband, no, that's not all.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
You become argumentative, you start growing facial hair, you start.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
More than I'm already growing.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
I was just a joke for women.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I'm I know it made you very uncomfortable. I'm sorry.
Here's a fun fact about women. Yes, most of us
take the hair off of our faces at some point. Sure,
it just happens. It's something you don't see it, but
(26:41):
it happens. There's a lot that you don't see. I
shouldn't tell you about the things that you don't see.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
There are things I don't want to know.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Your wife she doesn't do that. Though she's perfect. She
doesn't need to do any of that. I've never seen
her exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
There is.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
There are several studies about testosterone in women. Many women
would have more testosterone in their bodies, but one additional
satisfying sexual encounter for a woman who's currently having none
could be world changing. Just removing the mental blocks that
(27:21):
so many women experience at the thought of sex might
be enough for some of them. Several countries have come
to the conclusion. In fact, standard dose testosterone cream for
women has been approved in several countries.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Cream a cream, a bill, or a shot or whatever.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
You put it on like lotion, yeah, oh interesting, Oh,
it's just.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Tactical patches along with pills and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
You get argumentative, but you're less emotional. What would you
trade off? Would you trade off? Like you know, because
women usually they tend to be on the side of
emotional versus argumentative, would you trade that off? I'm trading
I'm not asking you, I'm just thinking, like if I
think most men would would handle that, They would rather
(28:06):
have the wife that wants to jump into bed with
them all the time and deal with the arguments, as
opposed to the wife that doesn't want to jump in
to bed with them and is emotional. But I don't know.
I'm putting words in your mouth, but I don't know.
But again, is this a new This is a new thing.
My grandmother didn't take testosterone to have sexy time with
(28:29):
my grandfather, did she. So we don't know the long
term effects of this. Again. Yeah, but if you start
growing you know, balls or something.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Then you'd be grandpa, right.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Yeah, Gary Shannon, this is why people come to us
for this doctor's.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
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):
Well, welcome to twenty twenty six.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Your voice sounds like you just woke up and it's
a new year, and I wasn't expecting that we got it.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Stayed up late.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
You stayed up late. What were you doing, shooters?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
I was probably doing not. I was probably doing some
hard couch time. Oh, just like just making a mess
of the couch.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Yeah, well that you don't have much talk.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
With What did you just look at my ass? What? No?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Not in the new year. That was a very twenty
twenty five move. In the new year, I am going
to be respectful of your ass.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Oh that's the nicest thing you said in ten years.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Yes, here we are on New Year's Day, and yes
you may still be watching the replay of the Rose Parade.
We took the day off technically because we were waiting
for the call. We have been in the bullpen, if
you want to say that. I don't think anybody knows
we're in the bullpen, but we're in the bullpen. If
something happens. One of the major networks or local channels
(01:10):
goes off the air and they don't have their regular
anchors for the Rose parades.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I didn't sleep all night. That's why I don't have
just woke up voice, because I've been waiting for the
call all night practice. I've been applying makeup, reapplying, refreshing, reapplying, refreshing, reapplying, refreshing.
I've been fluffing my hair. I've been doing all the
thing that presentable.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
People do right, just in case, just in case.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
But here I am no Rose parade to call.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah, we didn't.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
We didn't get the call this year, not a surprise.
But it was a great Rose Parade, wasn't it.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I mean, I would tell you all my thoughts and
all my notes, but I won't because they're all wasted.
My heart is wasted.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
We have binders full of wasted Rose Parade notes.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, I mean, I can't tell you the deep dive
I did with that third Regiment Battalion Horses unit came
out with the ELMANI float.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yeah, I you know what, that is a particularly interesting one.
I didn't spend as much time on that one.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I talked to the grandmother of the lead horse now
and I heard all about that horse's childhood. Where that
I mean, I don't want to get into it. It's
a little bit of homework.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I actually sense a little bit of wistful, like there's
a little bit of pooling at the bottom of your eyes,
like you this was an emotional thing for you.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
It meant something, Gary, it did. There's certain assignments that
means something. It's like when I learned Russian to call
the parade when the Kings won the Stanley Cup. You know,
I learned Russian that whole Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday into
the Monday, which was the parade, you know. And I
take this seriously. So when I thought there was a
possibility i'd get the call for the Rose parade, I
(02:48):
started studying. I made some calls, I went to some stables,
I did the work. But here I am with my hairquoffed,
my makeup on, my horse, knowledge on point, and no
phone call.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I do think the.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Rose pedal covered jacket that you're wearing is a little
muchsh Oh, you can smell it, trust me, you can
smell it. Though they smell delightful.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Did you see my pants?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
No, oh my gosh, what are those it's hey, Gary,
you're wearing hay pants, fresh hay.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Fresh hay pants to begin the year.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
If you need to do any business, you come over
here and sit on my lap.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Wait what, it's a.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Horse's joke, don't they. I've got a bunch of horse
jokes ready to go. They're all in the stable too.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Well, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I'm curious to see that which compost pile your clothing
is going to end up in later today?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Uh? Quite the Rose Bowl outfit, thank you.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
If we had the opportunity to call the Rose Bowl
all right, sorry, the Rose Parade today, I keep.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
I mean, we could do both. We could do we
could do both. That's the thing they're missing out on.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You know what, that's an excellent point.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
It is an excellent point.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
We don't have to be the greatest parade announcers, nor
do we have to be the greatest Rose Bowl football.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
We're serviceable.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
But we could do both.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
We're parade slash game managers.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
You know what. I yeah, in twenty twenty six, Yeah,
we need to put that on our resume.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
We'll sweeten that up a little bit. We'll say, Hey,
not only are we offering ourselves up for the parade,
but we can do the game as well.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
And listen, I would suggest this only because of you know,
gender roles and people like to roll. You know, they
got to make decisions about stuff, and it is twenty
twenty six and girls can be doctors, I guess. But
what if you dressed up as the well, that wouldn't
make any sense.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I was gonna say, you.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Dress up as the college football player, and I would
dress up as the parade announcer so that we could
show that we could do both.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Of those things. But it doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
If you have a player, it would be the announcer,
and then then we would just both look like we're
wearing nice clothes outside of the Rose pedal jacket that
you've got.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Obviously, we would change in between assignments, right, you know.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Would we have a car, we'd have to take our
own vehicles between the parade route and the Rose Bowl, or.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
We take one of those Rose Parayed vans. They have
a whole fleet of Rose Parade vehicles. They've got vans,
they've got trucks, they've got tesla's, they've got way mos,
they have everything, and they all are white and they
all have that rose parade seal on them. I am
pretty sure if we called the parade and then called
the game, they could set aside one of those vehicles
(05:32):
for us.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Would it be too much to ask for a helicopter? Yes, okay?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
In Pasadenas, okay, a couple miles from each other, a
helicopter may be too much. This may me this may
be why we haven't gotten the call. You're getting a
little too loftul Well, I'm less maintenance.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I'm just spitball in here. I just want to know
what the limits are, the parameters. So I just want
to set expectations. So the expectation what you're saying is
no helicopter, but maybe a white panel van.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Right, no windows? They I don't know winds windows on
those vans. Yeah, well, because we'd have to change in
the van. Probably we don't want to show up to
the game in our rose pedal jacket with our hay pants.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Hay pants is probably my favorite term of the New year. Yeah,
hey pants. All right, here's how we're going to do
this today January.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
First, come sit on my lap and do your business.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Wow that did not sound good.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
See you're right, you hear it? Okay, my god.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
We are off on this January first, so we will
be playing some of the best of the Gary and
Shannon Joe. But when we come back, we wanted to
get you started off the right way in twenty twenty
I mean though.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Right, like animals go to the bathroom and hey, yeah,
but it's all bad. I realize that, but like it
does make sense on one level, Oh, Oliver.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Maybe the tiniest level, because then it gets pretty dirty
after Ever.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I don't think you're coming back from this show. Yeah,
nice try.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
So we will be doing some best but when we
come back, we're going to look at some of the
new California laws for twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
To get you started right, Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
And as that that Rose Parade plays in the background,
Welcome to twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
This is the most.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Of this show is going to be best of but
we do have some new content, including the fact that
twenty twenty six January first brings with it a whole
new set of laws in the state of California.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
And I feel like this first law is a throwback.
How many times have I read this on the new
laws for insert year here a plastic bag ban in California. Okay,
I feel like we did this fifteen years ago. Plastic
bags are on their way out in California. The article reads,
this is SB ten fifty three. Apparently the state is
(08:01):
expanding its ban on those single use plastic bags to
include all plastic bags. So now, if you have a
plastic bag out of sprouts, they'll shoot you sight on
a side unseen.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Well, you can bring your own.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
There's a firing squad that'll come out and just end
it for you.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
You can bring your own plastic bag. But you can't.
They will not provide one for you.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
So what do they do? What they say? You're just
gonna carry out your groceries in your arms. Well, what
if I'm a handicap?
Speaker 2 (08:28):
This is the beginning of.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I mean, what if I'm physically altered? What can you
say handicapped anymore?
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Well, you can't say if you are a handicap? Is
that what I said? Yeah, okay, you are a handicapped person,
or if you have a handicap.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I feel like handicap is pejorative.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Or handy capable.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
That's that sounds like a like an infomercial tool. Okay,
do you need a hand capable? You can buy five
and get five for free.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
In this case, Sprouts would make you buy a paper
bag back in the old day, paper bag. In the
old days, Oliver, this is where it used to work out.
If you went to a grocery store, you could get
a paper bag and take said groceries home with you.
Now they try to squeeze every single penny and nickel
(09:22):
out of you by making you buy bags. So either
get your own or do whatever. That's that's the way
it's gonna That's the way it's gonna go from now.
But does this mean that we're not going to see
plastic bags floating around the freeways like we've seen for
the last twenty years.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
No, they'll still be there. How about this one?
Speaker 3 (09:38):
New food delivery platforms, A new law requires food delivery platforms,
you know the Uber eats, the door dash post makes
et cetera real problem to provide a full refund to
the customer if the order's not delivered, or if the
wrong order was delivered.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Now, if I'm high and I am ordering you know
something from McDonald Sure this has happened to me before.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Wait, not the high part, not the high part.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I was drunk and I ordered food from McDonald's to
the hotel. I think I got two forty piece chicken
McNuggets and they only brought one forty piece chicken McNuggets.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Who was in your party? It was just a couple
of us, oh okay. But there was a bar, oh okay.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
And we were watching the late game and people were hungry.
We needed nuggets and needed yes, yes, go on, and
they only brought the one forty piece of the nuggets.
Maybe it was a twenty piece and I ordered two
something of that nature. Anyway, So at that point, I'm
going to file some sort of grievance with the State
(10:51):
of California that my second twenty piece McNugget order hasn't
been delivered to the bar.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yes, well, technically, how does it work?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Do I take pictures of the sea of the lack
of nuggets, of like the five guys at the end
of the bar that didn't get the nuggets and they
look sad? How do you prove that the wrong food
or the wrong.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Order was deliberate? Great question.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
I don't know the specifics, but they're supposed to have
all of these apps now have to have an automated
uh uh, what would you call it? System for complaint?
And then if that's.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
So, I have to figure out the app in that state.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
That's the other part about it. It makes fault.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
So if and if you can't figure it out or
if it doesn't d nuggets. You have to have a
human available to answer questions.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Oh, they have to.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
They have to have someone who actually will answer the
call and be like, excuse me, ma'am, have you been drinking?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
I like that you said the way you said though,
you have to have a human available, like I have
to find somebody who's the human dist for me?
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Sure, somebody handle my CIRs A First of all.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Can you can you count my nuggets?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Can you sit on my hay pants and count my
nuggets and tell me if you count for twenty did I.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Order shoot twenty packs or forty forty? Where does this say?
Speaker 1 (12:10):
And and here's the thing. When you do that move,
you've got to make sure you have enough dipping sauces
because nobody wants a dry nugget at the bar.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Overdraft fees, credit unions can't charge an overdraft fee or
a non sufficient funds fee above fourteen dollars or the
amount set by the Federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
If it is lower, that's not a big deal.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Streaming services not allowed to play ads with a louder
volume than the show or the movie Behaved.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah, men, that drives me insane. The levels of specifically
prime I've noticed. I've noticed it watching Landman. The ads
are much hotter than the show.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Which is weird.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
It's been a law on TV for a long time
that they can't do that.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I mean, it's a brilliant move because when you've got
somebody who who's you know, retired folks, and they're sitting
there and they're watching those infomercials for ready Whip, Handicap,
whatever it was that you advertised earlier, handy capable, handy capable,
they're like, I need that, and when they're shouting at
people through the TV, they actually hear it. It's very smart,
(13:19):
but it's also very low.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
And then vehicle sales starting in October, actually this law
will allow customer to return a used vehicle within three days,
although they maybe charge a restocking fee, but it would
require auto dealers to disclose the full price of a
vehicle bands the unwanted junk products and services that can
increase the price of the vehicle.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
I like the parking ticket. One reduces or waves parking
fines if the owner of the vehicle can provide evidence
that they can't pay for the ticket due to homelessness
or financial hardship. I could or really used this when
I first moved to Lack, I could not pay for
those parking tickets. At one point I had a boot
on my car.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
You also had a warrant.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I had a warrant as well. Thank you for never
letting me forget.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
We'll do more of these as we continue. Your separate
thing might spread some through tomorrow's show as well. Separate Vehicles,
Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Breathe that air.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Breathe it smell it smell that year. I don't want
to smell it that much.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
This happens to be some of the best of Gary
and Shannons.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Hey, Gary Shannon, love you guys.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
You're great. You're keeping you laughing. I just had a realization,
you guys are the twenty first century equivalent of George
Burns and Gracie Allen.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
And that's a comblem.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
You guys have a.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Great day, right, thank you Burns and Allen.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Gary, Hey, Shannon, Hey Gary, I hear you have a
tattoo on your your buttocks of Oracles Stadium?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Is that true? Is that why you wear a speed out?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
All right?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Gary, your stud good job. If I had a tattoo
on my buttocks? Why would I wear the speedo to
cover the tattoo?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Well, it's a very it's a thong speedo.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Oh it is.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yeah, it's a RACI strikes an ass less speedo. I
don't know how that would work, I mean resilient speedo.
Would you get a tattoo of Oracle Park? Would that
be the park you got? If you were to tattoo
your ass, what.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Would it be on my butt?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I mean, as much as I loved Candlestick, I would
not tattoo Candlestick on my ass. First of all, yes,
never mind.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
I wanted to know what self deprecating line was going
to come out of your mouth.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
It would make Candlestick you could do so small. Candlestick
Park has never looked so small.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
You can do Candlestick Park and Candlestick Point and good
section of the bay right there.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Oh my god, what were we talking about?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I think I could see the Bay Bridge from here.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Seriously, what were we talking.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
We're talking about layoffs and people times and AI.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
This is getting crazy.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Obviously, training AI has become a job. The AI giants,
those companies that are coming down the pike with all
these new AI tools desperately need money and energy and information.
We know that, right, That's that's how they have started,
(16:43):
or that's how they've gotten to where they are now,
that's how they progressed, but they also need at this point,
they still need humans in the process. CEOs for these
AI companies have promised there will be people in the
pipeline the entire time, somewhat.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
As a safeguard.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
I think that's the kind of feeling, but it's not
clear if that means that humans would be the ones
making the consequential decisions, or that we would simply review
all of the work that the AI has done and
then take the wheel in case of an emergency, which
would amount to unplugging the computer. We've all seen that
movie where you try to unplug the computer and it
(17:25):
still goes.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
They say that right now.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Humans are a key part of the loop that act
as mechanical turks of generative AI magic, like the eighteenth
century chess automaton that was steered by a hidden master.
They said that AI trainers perform unseen labor to make
machines appear smarter than they actually are.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
There are.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Different companies using different AI models that they have then
kind of pear down, steer in the right direction, if
you want to call it. That change the queries that
you use to figure. It's to help AI figure things out.
Uber announced it a new initiative to allow drivers to
perform some simple AI tasks to make money during the
times they're not driving things like help self driving tech
(18:15):
companies develop tech they would help train robots to drive
and eventually put Uber drivers out of business. Amazon announced
augmented reality glasses this month that are designed to help
delivery drivers do their jobs more safely.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
We're just talking to somebody who works here who used
a I for for his job purposes, and you said
to him, oh, so you use an AI now, And
he goes, yeah, I gave up. It works really well.
I use it all the time for everything.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I'm not saying I haven't. I haven't used it.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
In fact, I'm pretty astounded at the things that it
would come up with. For example, sacific As you want
a fireball in your backyard or fire pit or whatever
they call them, you can tell almost any one of
these different AI prompts, rock chatchpt whichever one, come up
(19:15):
with a list of five fireballs that would fit my
backyard or fit appropriately, that would have this kind of ignition,
the old fashion or the bluetooth ignition or however, or
that would fit in with my home automation system that
I have, and it will come up with It will
(19:36):
come up with this list for you, and in some
cases provide you the links to the website where you
can buy that thing in a moment.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Well, not only whatever research you were.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Gonna do for weeks at a time now takes place
in sex.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
It's wonderful and you don't even need to seek it out.
Your AI solutions come to you most of the time
if you're just googling.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
That's the worrisome part.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Piles all of it, all of the web browsers now, Microsoft,
edge Ye, Safari, they will put their AI results up front.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Yeah, because a lot of time.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
It actually answers your question more more succinctly than it
would if you were to go through and try to
find that same information.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I wonder if they have done something to get rid
of the hallucinations that were picking up steam in terms
of people knowing about them, of AI just making things up,
Like what was the purpose of the AI hallucinations where
it would just make things up? What was the purpose
of that? Was that to see how dumb we are,
to see if we fall for everything.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
If the computer was probing to see how dumb we were.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, Like, I want to know more about those, like
if they're not happening anymore, and if when they were,
if they were put in there for a specific purpose.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I was talking to a friend who works in the
visual arts, and we were discussing the visuals of AI
and how they've changed recently, recently within the last few weeks. Yeah,
of it's so much better now. Even the still images,
the moving images that have come out that don't do
(21:09):
things like the hands were always really hard for AI
to get accurate. And you could see if you looked
closely at some of these videos, fingers would meld into
each other and then separate, and they would be extra hands,
and that was really hard for it to figure out.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
The newly created videos have figured that out.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
So whatever, as it continues to learn from itself and
continues to learn from our feedback, which is that didn't
look like a real hand, it's got to be doing
the same thing when it comes to those hallucinations that
you're talking about. If we can feed give it the
feedback of that doesn't make sense, that never happened. It's
you know, it will tell itself teach itself not to
(21:51):
make up stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
We hope.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI ams.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Exporting testosterone is giving women back things that they haven't
had in the ever. In some cases, the couple of
women that were documented in an article in The New
York Times take an amount of testosterone that has brought
(22:19):
their levels higher than what women produce naturally at any
point in their lifetime.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
This is interesting. Jessica Medina is forty one. She lives
in Orange County. She says, it changed my marriage. She's
got four kids in the house and sex is happening
six times a week. She says, up from how about
never she had to put a lock on the bedroom door.
She said that she and her husband had attended a
marriage the kids out right, got it, they're just time out.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Shouldn't there be a lock on the door already? Yes? Yes, okay.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
She and her husband had attended a marriage growth group
at church for years, but it took testosterone for their
relationship ship to be this, the six times a week sex.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
This, She says.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
She's a little less emotional, a little less sentimental than
she used to be, but she doesn't have time for
that kind of thing anyway. It's more like get stuff done,
handle business, workout, have sex. Every guy is googling testosterone,
and how can I get it delivered to my home
by the close business? How can I get this.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Done right now?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Just as estrogen is a crucial hormone for men, testosterone
is important for women as well instremental and development of
bones and muscles, and sexual function. But it peaks in
women in their late teens and early twenties and then
just decline so much so that by the age of
sixty the level of testosterone in many women is about
(23:55):
half men start out, for example, in young adulthood with
ten times the amount of testosterone of women as is
evidenced by what you're saying here. I mean, right, we
grow hair, we think about sex all the time. We
grow more hair, and we think about more sex all
the time. And if those are just two of the
things that the testosterone can be credited with, perhaps that's
(24:20):
what you have to think about. With less available testosterone,
women have fewer erotic thoughts, They have less motivation to
pursue sexual pleasure. Some of the mechanisms that make sex
feel good don't work as well. And for men affect
experiencing the effects of low testosterone, things like low libido,
(24:41):
low energy, loss of muscle mass. The FDA has all
kinds of stuff on the market.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Some things are going too far with testosterone. I assume
you've got to kind of play around with what dose
works for you.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Question Mark.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
I don't know, not a doctor, but the There's one
woman she says, I went years with no sex drive.
She's an influencer in Utah. She says after going on
a high dose of testoster in that year, she rediscovered
her attraction to her husband. She said, my body would
heat up just from him walking in the room. Are
(25:18):
you trying to figure out if that's what happens to
your wife when you walk in the room. Okay, I haven't.
I haven't watched this season that much of Real Housewives
of Orange County, even though I'm a devote It fell
off my radar. But apparently three of the shows women
have described their testosterone regimens, and so at least one
(25:42):
of them. Gretchen said she had to recently reduce her levels.
She had to take hers down because she was humping everything.
Her co star Jennifer Pedronti commiserated, you'll just hump and
hump and hump away. It does. I like her, by
the way, the New Housewife, Jennifer.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
This doesn't come without the side effects, though, And that's
the that's the part. What are the side effects, Well,
you turn into a teenage boy.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
But if you're just humping your husband, no, that's not all.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
You become argumentative, you start growing facial hair, you start.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
More than I'm already growing.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
I was just a joke for women.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I'm I know it made you very uncomfortable. I'm sorry.
Here's a fun fact about women. Yes, most of us
take the hair off of our faces at some point. Sure,
it just happens. It's something you don't see it, but
(26:41):
it happens. There's a lot that you don't see. I
shouldn't tell you about the things that you don't see.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
There are things I don't want to know.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Your wife she doesn't do that. Though she's perfect. She
doesn't need to do any of that. I've never seen
her exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
There is.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
There are several studies about testosterone in women. Many women
would have more testosterone in their bodies, but one additional
satisfying sexual encounter for a woman who's currently having none
could be world changing. Just removing the mental blocks that
(27:21):
so many women experience at the thought of sex might
be enough for some of them. Several countries have come
to the conclusion. In fact, standard dose testosterone cream for
women has been approved in several countries.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Cream a cream, a bill, or a shot or whatever.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
You put it on like lotion, yeah, oh interesting, Oh,
it's just.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Tactical patches along with pills and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
You get argumentative, but you're less emotional. What would you
trade off? Would you trade off? Like you know, because
women usually they tend to be on the side of
emotional versus argumentative, would you trade that off? I'm trading
I'm not asking you, I'm just thinking, like if I
think most men would would handle that, They would rather
(28:06):
have the wife that wants to jump into bed with
them all the time and deal with the arguments, as
opposed to the wife that doesn't want to jump in
to bed with them and is emotional. But I don't know.
I'm putting words in your mouth, but I don't know.
But again, is this a new This is a new thing.
My grandmother didn't take testosterone to have sexy time with
(28:29):
my grandfather, did she. So we don't know the long
term effects of this. Again. Yeah, but if you start
growing you know, balls or something.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Then you'd be grandpa, right.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Yeah, Gary Shannon, this is why people come to us
for this doctor's.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
