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 (00:10):
Jeff DJ Jazz Jeff, Yeah, Jeff, he's probably around somewhere. Yeah,
Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
This is Patrick Henry from the previous news and Bruce
is for Gary. I take the five to the fourteen
to get home. And last night I drove through that
tunnel where everybody hanks and I thought of your round
and for the first time since I've moved out there,
nobody was hawking and I had a soft chuckle and
(00:37):
I thought, damn, I wondered, if this is how many
people listen to KFI.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
That's funny, it's funny.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
I thought it was going to end with him shouting,
you know, give me liberty, give me death.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Why. Oh, because Patrick Henry.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Federal judge has ordered a two week halt to construction
at Alligator Alcatraz. She's trying to figure out whether it's
violin environmental laws. This is in order by a US
district judge temporarily bars the installation of any new lighting,
as well as paving, filling, excavating, or fencing, or any
other expansion until they figure out if it's in violation
(01:14):
of environmental laws.
Speaker 5 (01:15):
You right over there, it looked like you were I'm freezing.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
I was going this like something smelled. You pulled your
sweatshirt up.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Pull my sweatshirt up for warmth, because I'm it's cold
in here. Yeah, I don't feel like it was this
cold yesterday.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
It was this cold yesterday.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Trust me, I don't know how your body goes between
hot and cold so quickly.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
We're so unnoticeably well, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
DC police are seizing guns and drugs. Donald Trump is
floating a federal takeover. It's where we kick off swamp watch.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I'm a politician. I'm a politician, which means I'm a
cheat and a liar. And when I'm not kissing babies,
I'm stealing their lollipops.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Yeah, we got the real problem is that our leaders
are done.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
The other side never quits, so.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
What I'm not going anywhere. So that is how you
train the squaw. I can imagine what can be and
be unburdened by what has been.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
You know, Americans have always been gone, are the stupid?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Why have people voted for you with not swap watch?
They're all count on the authorities.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
In Washington, d c cs a couple of stolen firearms
and some illegal drugs just hours after the President ordered
federal law enforcement to patrol the streets of DC. USPP
officers and federal partners collaborated to enforce something executive order.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
This and that US Park Police Park Police Yes YEP.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Teams made the arrest for possession of two stolen firearms
illegal drugs, removing those dangerous items from the community. The
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, fire Arms and Explosives Field Division
there in DC also said, along with its law enforcement partner,
that they're out ensuring that the residents of the District
of Columbia are safer. This evening, the President directed the
(03:09):
increased presence of federal law enforcement starting at midnight Thursday,
saying that the city had been plagued by violent crime
for way too long.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
This apparently started after an attack by teenagers on a
former government Department of Government Official efficiency employee known as
Big Balls. There were articles written about this guy when
Doge was in the news constantly about one of the guys.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Was this one?
Speaker 5 (03:39):
Of the guys that was kind of part of the
ouster of Elon Musk.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Anyway, his nickname was Big Balls, so it got a
lot of headlines.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
He was one of the guys that Elon Musk brought on, right,
but then kind of I don't know if he turned
against him, a.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Fracture relationship or something irrelevant anyway, but a violent crime
By the way, in DC is down thirty from year
over a year, the lowest rate more than thirty years.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
They're doing well in DC.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
It's not like that.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
It's not like it's rampant, crime riddled area anymore.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Trump has said over and over again that control of
Washington could revert to federal authorities. That would require Congress
actually to repeal something called the Home Rule Act.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
That's as old as I am.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
The White House said the increased law enforcement presence would
make DC safe again. This plan, according to the way
it's laid out so far, would run for about a week,
and then the option to extend would come as needed
under the executive order that the President did sign. Yeah,
the whole Big Balls thing, would it? Edward course a
(04:48):
chorus Stein. One of the more prominent figures was beat
up police arrested two fifteen year old said they're still
looking for other suspects in that. But your point, carjackings
in Washington fell, dropping from nine to fifty seven to
just under five hundred. The trend appears to be continuing,
fewer than two hundred reported so far this year. That's
(05:09):
not to say DC's the best place in the world,
but it has shown some significant improvement.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Over naratively, So it's as safe as DC has been
in our well, in our lifetime that we've been paying attention.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
That's a good point.
Speaker 1 (05:22):

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Hey, it is Friday, so we're going to do what
you learned this week on the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Leave us a talkback message.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
So if you're listening on the app, you look and
you see that little red button with a white microphone
on it. You tap that button and it leaves us
a message and tell us if you learned anything what
you learned this week on the Gary and Channoner.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
What nicotine and beer stocks say about America's guilty pleasures.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
We'll tell you when we come back.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
A six forty.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
You ever heard of vice stocks? No guilty pleasure stock?
This was new to me until I read the article
this morning. Think tobacco, alcohol stocks, vice stocks, interesting way
to put it. Marlborough's cigarette maker Altria, which now owns
the growing nicotine pouch brand called On, is up twenty
(06:24):
one percent so far this year. Molson Cores, which owns
just about half of the beer market things like Biller Light, Biller,
Miller Lite and Blue Moon. Shares of Molson Cores down
more than thirteen percent.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I think nicotine pouches are real big, have been real
big now for a while. Zen is the one I
see from time to time, and not a lot of
people drinking when we did the Vegas tourism numbers are downstory.
Part of the reason that people were opening about is
that gen X. They're not big drinkers. Yeah, so maybe
(07:02):
that's why. But the kids, young people in the other room,
nicotine pouch is popular.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Yes, no eh, oh okay, so maybe it's an older person.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I've seen it on some older people that I work
with in another occupation.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
It's funny.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
I have two generations of people that I know are
big Zin fans. Oh really yeah, people my age and
then their kids. Oh okay, and that's annoying. They both
do it. Yeah okay, same family.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Interesting, And I guess the argument is obviously it's better
than inhaling a smoke, but.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
The vaping is still the product, the preferred nicotine delivery system.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I assume, so is that right?
Speaker 7 (07:49):
Kids?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
I love that Zin is made by an affiliate of
Philip Morris. The most popular nicotine pouch gained popular already
in part because of the devoted following of unaffiliated Zin
fluencers hote out their brand over and over again. Officials
have authorized In to stay on the market after they
found it has benefits as an alternative for smoking that
(08:15):
outweigh its potential risk to young people.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
I have a question about Zen.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Is it like dip where you just tuck it in
your lip like you would a chew?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Okay, you remember, do you remember those pouches, the chip pouches,
same bank, It's very similar to that. But I don't
know if it's a minty taste. I mean, I don't
know if it because the pouch is also brought with
it that tobacco we flavor and not.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Right, Yeah, what does it taste like? It must be
a mint mint taste. It's got to be a mint taste.
You try it, well, let's just let's google it. Recent
research found that fifty six percent of adults polled said
they had reduced alcohol consumption for either wellness or lifestyle reasons,
often opted to try new flavor profiles or gut health
(09:03):
drinks instead. The best selling zen flavor is cool mint,
followed by peppermint, winter green, and spearmint.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Yeah, but those are also flavors that you'd get from
Skull or Copenhagen.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Okay, right, yeah, it's all mint, but it's all mint.
I didn't think it took tobacco at all.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Now interesting.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Gallup has tracked US drinking trends for three decades and
found in its latest survey that a record low number
of people claimed that beer was their alcoholic beverage of choice.
In fact, in beer the heyday of beer early nineties,
forty seven percent of Americans said beer was their drink
of choice. Now it's thirty four percent down their level
(09:45):
with wine.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
It's because I don't know why, because I feel like
Kraft beer has become so ubiquitous.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
It's everywhere.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
You know, it's like twenty years ago when people flame
of the beer renaissance and how had this new life?
And you're having craft beer places and breweries pop up everywhere,
And I thought it was just going to be mainstream
for like kids to just adopt craft beer. But I
guess it's not happening because their parents are into it.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Is that why you think early nineties? I mean, we're
on the West coast, so were probably biased. And I
don't know all of the names for it, but there
were a handful of early nineties craft beers at the
time which have become humongous.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I think Sierra Nevada.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Obviously, Loa Loganitas wasn't around in the early nineties.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Not to that in the mid nineties it was sold
the deli and it was like it was something that
you couldn't get.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Everywhere, right, Yeah, Anchor was an Anchor beer, their steam beer.
And then you had a couple like the far flung ones,
like you had Fat Tire from New Belgium.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
I loved Fat tire.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
And those are the like those were just but those
were they were unique. They weren't Budweiser exactly. They weren't
Red Dog.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
And now craft beers every everywhere. People started making their basements.
And then yeah, it's a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
But is it a health thing?
Speaker 4 (10:59):
And by health I mean not like just the overall
overarching issue that alcohol is. But is it a carb thing?
That beer is going to bring with it more carbs
than say a gin and ton?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Kids, what do you say if you're listening, is beer
the turning your back on beer?
Speaker 5 (11:16):
Is it a carb thing? Is that? What you favorite cocktails?
If you favorite cocktails?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah for sure? Really uh huh so do all the way? Okay?
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Interesting, but they also point to other factors. Beer demand
has dropped much more than expected, according to the chief
executive of Molson cores And. He told investors there's uncertainty
about immigration and trade policies that have weighed on prices,
and prices then weigh on consumers and so on.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
Down the Chaine.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Don't you can't buy This is what I think I've
noticed a lot in the last say ten years. Is
you used to be able to buy a six pack
of a pale ale from a brewery in Phoenix or something.
You could get that for eight ninety nine or nine
ninety nine.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Now that's fourteen ninety nine.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
Yeah, And especially if you go for the sixteen ounce cans.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
They were always more expensive. Like I remember getting fat
tire and being like, oh, that's a lot of money.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
Could you get a six pack of corps light.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
You're looking at four ninety nine back in the day,
and that was like seven ninety nine twenty years ago,
and I was like, oh, my god, that's expensive beer.
Beer shouldn't be this expensive kind of a thing, because
beer was always so cheap.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
The other thing about it is the containers, which I've seen.
When there was a point where people are breweries would
bottle their beer obviously, and cans were especially when it
came to craft beer, cans were the unusual container. Now
cans are the more common container, simply because of weight.
It takes a lot of weight out of the shipping
(12:53):
process if you're using cans instead of glass. Now they're
saying tariffs on aluminum are press tering beer companies. Molsen Cores,
as the example, expected adjusted earnings to fall as much
as ten percent because of the cost of the added
cost of aluminum and the tariffs that are there on
top of those.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
So I google's in right, and the flavors, It's like,
what's the best selling X in FLA flavors the first
thing that comes up. And then it's like, what are
the flavors that hit harder? And it's like, oh, the
citrus ones, cool, mint, mental, The citrus more likely to
feel stronger because the minty, spicy, acidic flavors awaken your senses.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
So combine that with nicotine and it'll hit you harder.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
The next question that pops up, which is a good
one for beginners, like those are the three questions that
pop up first, What flavors are there?
Speaker 5 (13:42):
What hits the hardest? And what's the best If I
want to get started with a nicotine addiction.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
That is very weird. That's awful, but not surprising.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Quick revisit to swamp watch. This week south Park went
after christinoam. I watched it and also jd Vance. Apparently
she has weighed in on the jokes. Jd Vance is
taking it as a good I think in the nature
(14:11):
with which it's intended, and he wrote on Twitter today,
well I've finally made it and reposted the South Park
video from and that this week's episode where he's in
a three way with Trump and Satan.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
That is the perfect response. It's comedy. Don't get your
feathers in a notch.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
The White House officially puts out, I know what you
meant in a not Okay, the White House officially puts
out a statement that says something like, well, this show
has been relevant for twenty years.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
That's not listen.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
You want to fight fire with fire, make fun of it.
Don't seriously say that the people from South Park who
make a comedy show, well nobody thinks they're funny.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Well, you're just a party pook.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Jade Vance has got popularity points from me, snatched a
couple of popularity points, got a couple extra feathers in
his notch for me.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I don't think he wants feathers in his notch.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Why do we have feathers in that saying feathered people?
Or we like dinosaurs? You know a lot of the
dinosaurs had feathers.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yes, mom, did you know that?
Speaker 5 (15:16):
We didn't know that when we were kids. Now the
said feathers.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I don't like it. I don't like it. I want
my dinosaurs to be rough, skin and stuff. I don't
want him to have feathers.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Do you ever have any relationship end before you realized
it was over. When your body tells you it's over.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
This is a dangerous, dangerous topic. We're about to just
like feathered dinosaurs. They were over. We didn't even know it.
Speaker 6 (15:48):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
We all remember that one teacher who made a difference,
believed in us, challenged us, made learning fun. But we
now have a chance to say thank you to those
teachers in a big way. With Iheartradios, thank a Teacher
Powered by donors Shoes, you can nominate outstanding public school
teacher who's got above and beyond for their students to
win five thousand dollars, stock their classrooms with whatever they need.
(16:15):
So help us say thank you to the educators shaping
our future. Nominate your favorite teacher now at iHeartRadio dot com.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Slash teachers, poor sleep and bad smells five signs your
body knows your relationship is over before you do.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Oh boy, start with the smell thing.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Okay, you start to hate the way they smell. Pretty
baseline there. Maybe you used to bury your face into
that T shirt and you loved it. Now the smell
makes you recoil. It could be a health issue, right,
somebody smell is off. Could be a health issue they're
dealing with. Before you leave the relationship, make sure they're
(17:01):
all right. Maybe get a physical or something. According to research,
scent plays a major role in attraction. When you start
to dislike someone scent, this can reflect a subtle shift
in sensory processing that mirrors the brain's reward system shutting
down in relation.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
To that person whoa chess.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
The brain responsible the part of the brain responsible for
reward and aversion dials down the dopamine release when you
experience something that doesn't feel right interesting. That is called
the lateral hey binula. It's the brain's way of helping
us avoid repeating actions we don't like the result of fascinating.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
We had friends in that lives in Seattle, and she
confessed to us one time, the four of us, this
other couple, the four of us are sitting at dinner,
and she said that she loved the way her husband
smells after he works out, and that when she does laundry,
she would take his shirt out of the laundry, spike
(18:15):
the fact that had been there for a couple of days,
and do the whole.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeah, pheromones are very powerful. I do enjoy that smell.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Of your husband having worked out. Interesting.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Oh he thinks it's really gross. Yeah I wouldn't. I
would say that too.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I have an interesting introduction. Get it will be the
judge of that. Well, this isn't like a dating thing.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
But like I had this best friend and like, uh,
when i'd smell him, I'd get excited like okay.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Cool, no, no, no, no, not like that, Keana.
Speaker 8 (18:47):
I'm just saying it's like a friendly like okay, does
my best pal awesome? But then like we had this
rough going and it's like now when like I smell it,
cause like we're neighbors, it's kind of like damn, like
this fantastic now instead of this excitedness.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Well, it doesn't have to do with romance. It can
just that's your brain responding to that relationship. That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (19:10):
Yeah, So when you said that, I was like that
and you immediately what you know, that felt like yeah,
not a romantic way, And it's like I smell it
every day now and it's a different smell. Non, I
remember a different time when that smell didn't bother me.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
Wow, fascinating.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
One of the other signs your body knows that the
relationship is over is you stop sleeping? Well mm hmm,
I wonder if my wife is trying to tell me something.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
I sleep really well these days.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
In fact, I sleep so well, I take naps, I
could sleep.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
It's wild to me.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
I not being able to go to sleep used to
be like a fear of just like, oh, I'm not
gonna be able to go to sleep.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
Swear man, I sleep like a baby.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
It's funny.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
The author of The Unbearable Lightness of Being, a book
called it U. Author Milan Kundera says nothing is more
intimate than sleep, even sex. They said, sex you can
have with an infinite number of people, but that the
desire for shared sleep is limited to one because you.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Can relax your nervous system. If you're with somebody and
your nervous system is out of whack, you can't relax
enough to sleep, and your nervous system is telling you
someone telling you something. If you're with someone where it
can't relax, guard is up because your guard should be up.
Maybe or maybe that's just not the person to let
your guard down with.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Another sign is that you recoil from their touch.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Ooh, that's bad.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Something as simple as handholding is a turnoff. Kissing is
a burden. Your partner's habit of stroking your arm is
an assault to the senses.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
That's not great.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
So this is like when you go home and you
just want to pet your wife and she's.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Like, yeah, pet my wife, get away from me, weirdo.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
And you're like, but I know my dopamine release, I
need to pet you for at least twenty two seconds.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
I don't think that would go very well. Sex becomes
a chore.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
It's performative or obligatory, or something we do on autopilot
rather than intention. Studies consistently show that higher stress levels
are associated with lower sexual desire and arousal. If you're
stressed in the relationship, you're less likely to initiate intimacy.
That can then feedback into dissatisfaction, creating the vicious loop
of disconnection. They start to smell bad, you don't want
(21:32):
to touch them at all, and then that last one.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
I'm not going to get into that.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Let's just say that other more intimate parts of your
body begin to protest.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
That's a good way of putting out.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
So chronic stress and elevated cortisol can disrupt your can
disrupt your microbiome, your self cleaning oven, reducing protective bacteria,
leading to persistent infections.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Of and oh my god, that's so gross. Can we
move on?
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yep?
Speaker 5 (22:09):
Literally anything coming up next.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
It is Friday, so late in the show, we're going
to do our nine news too that you need to know.
But before that, we're going to get into what you
learned this week on the Gary and Channon Show. So
let us know what you have learned so far. All
you have to do is hit that little talkback button
when you're listening on the app and it leaves us
a message.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
So this next story has no news value, but I
got a small kick out of it when I was
reading it this morning in the Wall Street Journal. It's
about this thirty six year old woman. She's a content
creator from Oklahoma. She decides to go to Nantucket for
the summer, rent out a house and have like eight
of her little influencer wannabes there with her, and Nantucket
(22:49):
is losing its mind. Part of the reason I love
the story because it's two groups of people that I
don't understand and they fascinate me.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
And Nantuckians huh, that's so foreign.
Speaker 7 (23:01):
Hey, Gary and Shannon, it's Chanel. I'm driving back from
the utual state of Washington, where it was perfect and
cool and gorgeous, and now I'm back in northern California
and it is hot. It's like driving through hell.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
Damn.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
Man, My poor dog, he's surviving next to me. But
the cows and those little lambs out there, man, they
are suffering. But I hope you're having a wonderful Friday.
If I should be avoiding anywhere as I approach La
because of the fires, let me know, have a great one.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
You're fine.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Freeways open, you'll see it, but it's got a ways
to go before it actually gets to the five, So
you're fine.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Gary and Shannon will continue with the nightmare descending upon Nantucket.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
I've never been able to do that.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Yeah, I've tried. I've tried for thirty. I never got that.
We didn't start to fire from Billy Jewelry ever did that?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Did you ever have the It's by and it's very sweet,
that one under the bridge thing.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
No, did you ever.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Get uh yellow leadbetter no pearl jam?
Speaker 3 (24:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Yeah? How about Oh, what's the one that?
Speaker 6 (24:21):
God?
Speaker 5 (24:21):
I like Tim Conway Junior right now?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
What's the one? Oh? I'm a loser baby?
Speaker 5 (24:31):
What is it?
Speaker 1 (24:32):
What are they saying? Be yeah, Matt Hook there. I
think it's like soy, I think it's it's Espanol. Oh, yes,
it is Espanol. That was a hard one because before Google, guys,
you had just rot on those lyrics.
Speaker 5 (24:47):
You don't know what they were.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
They didn't do it.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
I mean in that time where we went from record
albums to cassette tapes to CD.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Very lyrics the lyrics.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
The lyrics were in the records, and they were in
the cassette tapes in the beginning.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
If they yeah, and they wanted to spend for the
fold out right.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
But then they phased him out towards the enna, cassettes
and CDs.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
You were screwed.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
So there was a real time there where you didn't
know what those lyrics were, and you'd ask somebody's older
brother because they apparently knew everything. I tried to and
I remember trying to track down the lyrics of Dust
on the Bottle. There was an ambiguous section in.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
That and that that song.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I'm saying that song, dust in the Bottle, I want
to say it was like nineteen ninety five.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
David Lee Murphy. That's what it was.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
That's a dark blind spot for me. Kylie Swanson is
an influencer. I love Fridays. If you follow her on
Instagram at Kylie Swanson, you know that she likes her
outdoorsy stuff. She likes to live and then Tucket she
doesn't there, well, she likes to spend time in Nantucket.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
She does not.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
She just decided just threw the story out. I don't
know where I put it anyway, from what I remember
this morning. She's from Oklahoma. She thought Nantucket looked nice
and decided to just go there, rent a house, invite
eight other influencer wannabes to this tiny enclave that prides
itself on knowing everybody doing things the way they've always
(26:25):
been done in Nantucket, and everybody is everyone's business, but
at least you know who everybody is.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
So this woman comes in in her.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Mid thirties with all her shee pals and Apparently they're
out there doing the selfies, they're doing the boating and
the fishing, they're getting all the free stuff from the
local businesses so that they can be posted about. And
it's throwing everything that Nantucket knows and loves into upheaval.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
But she's not making it up.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
No, But it's not like she's spent time there, like
she's a total outsider.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Right, I'm not sure.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
I have a problem with it, which is weird because
but see that's man Drugget, like I know. But having
read through this, I was like, yeah, she needs to
be punished for this is awful. But I don't mean
she's because one of the one of the concerns several
business owners Nantucket is one of those places where it's
very seasonal and if you're there during tourist season, that's
(27:20):
what the business owners need. You are their lifeblood and
they need a good tourist season.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Right.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
But some of these business owners are saying are upset
at people like Kylie Swanson because they come in and
they go, ah, I'm an influencer. I would love to
rent your your land Rover Defender, but I want it
for free, and I'll advertise for you, well.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
They're changing the way that Nantucket has always done tourism.
And that's why I say this is a set in
their ways type of tourist locale seasonally like you said,
and you know, them coming in and doing the new
way of tourism with the influencing is throwing everybody off there.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Interesting.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
They were comped hotel rooms, they wanted discounted experiences for
what she referred to as this camp Nantucket, an influencer camp.
In exchange, these companies and businesses, et cetera would get
social media exposure. Ava Rollins is a publicist who lives
(28:22):
on Nantucket and said that locals are very proud, they're
very civic minded, they're very resilient, philanthropic, adaptable, and salty.
And she said it's the kind of place where freebies
are offered, not requested, and it's almost as if they're
just accusing Kylie Swanson, this twenty two year old bubblehead
(28:43):
six whatever ev going in and going in and sort
of upsetting the norms of Nantuck.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
It's what I'm saying. Yeah, it's usually not done that.
They're used to the same tourists, the same people coming
in from the city. The same people renting out boats
and all of this, and here are all these outsiders
coming in and they're they're renting the boats and they
want the free stuff, and they're just they're changing the
ecosystem that is Nantucket, the social ecosystem, the tourism ecosystem,
(29:13):
the whole bit. It's like, you know that that relative
that is so set in their ways. Their house looks
the same as it has your entire life. They do
the things they're going to do the way they're going
to do them, and then like a teenager comes to
town and just everything is a freaking it's it's unrecognizable,
you know, It's like it's a hurricane of different. That's
(29:33):
what's happening to the whole town essentially. With this group
of nine women, there's just there's changing the way it
all and and Nantucket to me, and I don't know
because I haven't been, but it seems to me that
it's it's kind of got an uppity vibe, like a
little bit of a we're better than everybody else vibe.
And I could be wrong, but I think about that
(29:54):
way about those East Coast tourist locations where they kind
of have that vibe I have been to Cape Cod
and I was suffocated by that vibe.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
I would say it's a vocal minority, because the way
Kylie puts it, this twenty two year old bubblehead, she's
thirty six, right whatever. She said that a lot of
people on Nantucket were very happy to work with her,
that they did look at her Instagram page and go, oh,
I see that you've got seventy seven thousand followers. So yeah,
(30:25):
we'll give you a land Rover defender for a day.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Probably the US, probably the people that know that Instagram
is currency, that there is.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
A value in that, that it can be. And she said,
she said, the American dream that we all try to chase.
This is from Wall Street Journal. The American dream that
we all try to chase goes across the US, including Nantucket.
And she says, I don't think there needs to be
a price of admission. I call BS and if that
pisses people off, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
She said.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
My my family has Oklahoma money, but not Nantucket money.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
I guess she's the daughter.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Of a family owns a car dealership or car dealerships.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I say, what reception are you thinking you're going to
get when you go to a place like Nantucket. I
guess she knew what she was. She knew the juxtaposition
of what she was doing, her and her friends influencer instagramming,
the whole bit. She knew the juxtaposition of that against
something that is old money, older people for the most part, Nantucket,
(31:26):
and here she is getting a more exposure by old
men who call her bubble headed twenty two year old.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Was that degrading? Yeah? Oh okay, well then she's twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Well it's also degrading that you would think a twenty
two year old has no significance intellectually and that they're
all bubble headed because they're blonde, so they have nothing
going on in their head, when you, in fact, are
just projecting because we all know you have nothing going
on in your head. Asked and answered, we'll talk trending
when we come back to Gary.
