Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
I AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. We are live, we are people.
We are alive, guaranteed human. We are not AI. Because
if this is what AI was, oh, it's due, it
would have no future.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
That is awful. Football tonight, Thursday night football. This is
gonna be a big, big deal because this game game
is a big game.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
This is gonna be the Rams against the Seahawks in Seattle.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
See. This is a problem because like the Okay, remember
when the Dodgers were in the World Series. It was
like Game five or something, and my husband had a
work party and I had to go to that. I'm
happy to go to it. But it's Game five of
the World Series, or it was game six, like it
was it was, I think it was like anyway, it
was crunch time. It was the World Series, and I'm like, oh,
(00:57):
it's bad if I pull up the game on my
phone and now he's got another work party tonight. Oh
and I mean, I'm gonna have to have that game
on my phone. Right.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Were you gonna do the old Homer Simpson thing? You
take an air pod with you and at least listen
to the game.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
But yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Can't put an air pod in my ear that's like
the worst of the worst. At least in my phone.
If I keep the game on, it just kind of
put it in my pocket and like walk to a
corner or the bathroom. Maybe I've got ibs. I don't know.
I got to go to the bathroom all the time.
I can check the score could develop pretty quickly. It can,
it can quick onset ibs. It should be raining at
(01:34):
the beginning of the game, but it's expected to dry
up at least for most of the rest of it.
It's gonna be like the biggest Thursday night football game.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Ever this season ever, but of this season definitely so far,
which raises the question what else is going on?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Time for what's happening?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Sheriff in Iredelle County, North carol Carolina confirmed that there
were fatalities in a business jet that crashed at a
regional airport Statesville, North Carolina. This business jet had been
used by NASCAR teams in Fortune five hundred. Sorry, the
airport had been used by NASCAR teams in Fortune five hundred.
Companies Sessana five point fifty crashed while it was coming
(02:20):
back in for a landing. It had taken off, made
a quick loop, and was coming back into Statesville Regional
Airport just after ten o'clock North Carolina time. Crashed at
the end of the runway. The airport is now closed
until further notice. As of right now, they have not confirmed,
but the plane itself apparently belongs to a company associated
(02:44):
with associated with Greg Biffle, former NASCAR driver, well well known,
well regarded NASCAR driver Greg Biffle.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
One of the coolest buildings in downtown La is going
to reopen as a nightclub. I love that it's the
Mayan Theater. It's on Hill Street and it's one hundred
years old, and man, how cool. This is going to
be a revival of the Mayan. The longtime operator, Sammy Chao,
(03:17):
announced that it would shut down, but we've got a
new operator. We don't know who it is, but the
teas is that the legacy continues inside this historic landmark.
It originally opened in August of nineteen twenty seven, designed
by the La architectural firm Morgan, Walls and Clements, and
it has that elaborate Mayan revival interior created by Mexican
(03:40):
artist Francisco to Corneo. It was first a legitimate theater
focused on musicals, musical comedy, and then over the decades
it went through several iterations, Spanish language performances, film screenings,
adult films at one point, and then reborn as a
nightclub and live music. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
One of the greatest places I went. This would have
been seventy years ago. Now was the Edison. Did you
ever go there? Yes, downstairs, it's a great building.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Is it opened. I don't even know if it's still open.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah, I think it is, But that was a very
very cool place to eat. Look, so we could see
some rain for Christmas. The powerful Pineapple Express that's been
just absolutely hammering the Pacific northwest has slid to the
south a bit. We are getting some rain in parts
of northern California. The most likely scenario, they said, is
(04:33):
for some rain in La Venturist, Santa Barbara and San
Luis Obispo counties. Two to four inches of rain on
the coast and in the valleys between Christmas Eve and
the day after Christmas. About a fifty percent chance of
that scenario coming to pass.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I saw this article in the New York Times. The
headline was, the woman caught on the cold play kiss
cam is finally ready to talk. And I'm thinking, who's
ready to listen? Like, who's begging? Who's begging to hear what.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
She has to say?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Did she really have to take this time for herself?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I said, like to cheat on your house?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Reflect about this time? And apparently Kristen is her name,
and she's talking. It finally speaks out. They say about
the moment that cost her career and exposed her to death. Thereats, Okay,
calm down, yeah, welcome to a Tuesday, Gary and Shannon.
She says that, oh, it was just a bad decisions
and a couple of high noons that led to that moment.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
A couple of high notes.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Okay, and you know, if I'm a high noon f
and you get out of here, right, that's a good point.
Drag me in this crime scene, weirdo.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
We talked a little bit earlier, but the Jambonet Ramsey
case were almost to the twenty ninth anniversary of the
Jambonet Ramsey murder in Boulder, Colorado, from so long ago.
Her dad John gave an interview, or has been giving
interviews one of them aired last night on KTLA and
describes the new developments in the case that he says
(06:12):
give him some optimism that this case could be resolved soon.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Part of it is because new leadership in the department.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I mean, you figure the Bolder Police Department and the
Boulder the Sheriff's department that was involved in the investigation
has changed multiple times since then.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
But in this case, he says, it's very encouraging.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
And one of the things that he talked about was
the obvious advancements when it comes to DNA technology. That
there is some DNA evidence that was found at the scene.
There were some concerns that it might have matched John
or their son what was his name, Burke. They were
(06:52):
excluded fifteen years ago or something like that. So the
advancements in technology when it comes to DNA screening may
make a difference with all of that.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
All right, when we come back, we'll get you a
live guided meditation with Elmer Elmer.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah, wait a minute, what if we have something else?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Oh, spaghettios, We've got a chase through Sun Valley, y'all.
CHP officers in pursuit. Looks like a gold Is that
a gold Sedan. Would you say.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Gary gold or silver Honda Civic.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Perhaps that's a good car. It's a good car.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Working with a glare here.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
You can go on this chase for about two hundred
and thirty seven thousand miles in a Honda Civic.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
At least.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I think mine had something like that. It wasn't a
cord that I had an accord. It was a manual too.
I love that car, good old days. Oh yeah, drove
it right into the ground. My husband still does that
with cars. He likes to drive him into the ground.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Toyota.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I can't tell from this a that.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Is a Toyota Camry.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
That's a that's a good call. I think he might
be right.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I think I'm not sure, though.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
We'll get out.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I'm not going to die on that hill.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
This is by the way.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
I five south right at the Sunland Boulevard exit through
sun Valley.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I like that area.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
It's pretty make its way right over there.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yeah, right over there. How is the traffic looking. Let
me pull up SigAlert here, because the the five there
through Burbank is, as you know, a third world country.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
It's so much better than it used to.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
It is the pot the mass you're right, You're absolutely right.
They have done some good work there, they have. They have,
so I'm looking at a pretty pretty nice go of
things for him. On the five. Is that a female? Not,
it's a male. It's a male. It's a male. It's
a male. He's got a gray sweatshirt. Looks like a
beefy man. And uh, let's see. He's got smooth sailing, sir,
(08:51):
smooth sailing through Burbank there as you make your way
from Sun Valley into Burbank. Right now, he's passing the exit.
Oh is he coming over?
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Bring it on, buddy, Yeah, let's go. We'll continue to
watch this and bring you latest. You ready almost study meditation.
This guy's gonna need it. Yeah, listening, he's taking the
Hollywood Way act.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yep. Oh, he's definitely he is a Hollywood Way exit.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
That's not just the name of that little bar restaurant
that's right there at the end of the exit.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
The ramp, I think is what it's called.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Oh, I don't know, is that?
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I usually wait till I get to the airport. Jean
does a great vodka soda. There at Bob Hope Airport,
you can get a turkey wrap for twenty seven dollars. Yeah,
don't buy food there, just buy vodka.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Welcome to Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
If you're flying in on a Southwest flight, say from
I don't know, Phoenix or Albuquerque or something, and you're
flying into Burbank, you're gonna fly right over the end
of this pursuit with the cha They finally pitted this
guy and got him on the northbound lanes of Hollywood Way,
right at the end of the runway for Burbank Airport.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Hopefully they'll be able to clear this up quickly because
you know, got flights to catch. It's on the part
where you'd be leaving the airport. Really thankfully, but I'm
sure still yeah, headed to the airport. Those people are
going to be distracted by all of this.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
But again, on Hollywood Way, they're just what would that
be east of the fence line to the Burbank Airport.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Elmer, part of our guest team here, has launched a
new venture. He has the YouTube channel. You can check
it out.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Where do people find it besides YouTube? How do they
specifically find it.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Just got googling on YouTube meditate with.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Elmer, Meditate with Elmer. There you go.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Soon it'll be on like Spotify, Apple and stuff. But yeah, yeah,
I'll do that in a couple of days.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
And the iHeart app. I say that the.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
App right, yeah, yeah, obviously, So we thought that now
would be the time because we're seven days from Christmas.
Oh my gosh, goodness, that's crazy, and so Elmer is
going to try and calm you all down. All right,
We're going to do a guided meditation by Elmer. Am
I saying that right now? Well? How does it branded?
Speaker 5 (11:17):
No, it's good. It's a guide of meditation. That's awesome.
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Okay, you're welcome.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
So oh we'll do yeah, well you're playing that right,
not me? Yeah, okay, go into this great good night
cash Gary.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Okay. So I think going into the holidays, we should
all focus on gratitude. You know, we're all going to
receive gifts, we're all going to give out gifts, but
I think we should take a second to appreciate what
we have. So if you can, for a moment, thank
(11:54):
the people around you in your head, not you know,
next to you about I'm gonna be thanking you had
KFI team guaranteanning follom. You do this, it's pretty cool.
But thank people in your life, you know, family or friends.
Take a moment while we breathe, Okay. Our breath is
(12:20):
our direct connection to life, you know. So I think
it's important when we go into these kind of meditations
that we really take in our breaths. We hold it in.
So if you're driving, you know, keep your hands on
the wheel. If you're at home, you know, let's place
our hands in our hearts and let's breathe together as one.
(12:50):
If you're in a safe place, you could close your eyes.
But yeah, let's think about stuff that we're thankful for.
But we're grateful for as we breathe three times, so
follow me brief in, brieve out, brief in, breathe out,
(13:23):
one more time in drieve out. So I love thinking
about gratitude every day. I think it's one of our superpowers.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
You know.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
It connects us, reminds us that what we have right
now is pretty amazing. And as we try to look
for other things in life, you know, like the goals
that we have set off, let's take a second to appreciate,
like where we are like when we were kids, We're like, oh,
one day I can have an apartment like you, and
you're living in that apartment. It's amazing. Or I wish
(14:05):
I could be my person like now it's been like
a few years and you're with them, and you forgot
for a second. Hey, I'm so grateful that you're in
my life, or you're best friends, you know, anyone in
your life. For coworkers, there's so much people who can
be grateful for. M let's keep really handsome to chest.
(14:36):
We're gonna wrap it up with something I like to do.
It's called uh, it's mindful. It's giving out love, it's
receiving love by saying these three things. And we're gonna
change it from I to you. But first off, we'll
start off with may I be safe, May I be
(14:57):
at ease, May I be feeled with gratitude. As you're
thinking that, think of what you're grateful for. Then we
send it back out into the world. May you be safe,
May you be at ease, and may you be feel
with gratitude. So I want you to think about everyone
(15:17):
in your life that you're grateful for and the people
that you might not be grateful for you know, they
still deserve it as well. Everyone around the world, everyone listening.
May I be safe, May I be at ease, May
I be feeled with gratitude. May you be safe, May
(15:40):
you be at ease, May you be feel good gratitude.
And with that we adjourn, and I wish everyone a
happy holiday instead of travels. You're gonna need it.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Oh Mather, that was beautiful.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I loved that. Don't we feel calmer? Ye? Yeah, so soothing,
so good.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Meditation, meditation in the middle of the day. A lot
of people don't make time for that. It's nice have
a little reset. Gary, did we lose you?
Speaker 5 (16:18):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Are you now an anorexic like an office space?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
But just being quiet?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
A M six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
What is this?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
What's happening?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
What are these feelings I have?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Right? What is this?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
What is this sense of call my core?
Speaker 5 (16:44):
You flipped the book. You flipped the book real quick
and energy.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah out to one hundred people like what's going on?
What's happening?
Speaker 5 (16:54):
And in my high autation and meditation.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
With with Elmer uh and you don't know who vicdor
brick is do you.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
You would love vic the brick? You guys would be
some pozzico bricked up? What pick the brick down?
Speaker 5 (17:09):
The hall.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Suggestions that that you and Brick should have a meditation off.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yeah, he would be. That would be good stuff. That'd
be really good stuff. I like that for us that
we have that we have Elma the brick.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Oh, he's got to work up to that.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Did you want to play some of the feedback? Okay?
A small plane has crashed into a building at van
Ey's Airport. Apparently it was stolen from a flight school.
Somebody stole this single engine Cesna. One person has been detained.
They crashed it into a building there at van Ey's Nose.
(17:50):
First shows the pictures from overhead show the building with
a hole in it. Law enforcement says a plane did
not get off the ground and they don't know if
they're searching for anybody else. But this plane was jacked
from a flight school and then quickly crashed into a building.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Bid.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Yeah, because I guess you could say it was driven
and not flown.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah, if it never left the ground.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
One of my girlfriend's Elmer who listens to the show
at work. Said what is happening? I said, it's meditation
with Elmer. I said, do you feel relaxed? She said,
very totally works she wrote, and then she says Monica,
who is her coworkerna? Monica thought, I was listening to
a show about dinosaurs, which I know delights you. It
(18:37):
makes no sense, but you also like dinosaurs. I love dinosaurs. Right,
Monica must be high. No, Monica is not high. She
is like a pharmacist.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
He I do have an update on them.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
She could not legally get high.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
She her own to her own supply. No, no, no, no,
no no.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I have an update on that shooting out of Brown University.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Here's a wrinkle that we hadn't heard before.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Authorities are investigating that possible connection between the shooting at
Brown University that killed two students over the weekend injured
nine with the killing of an MIT professor.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Two days later, two of the people.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
And I talked to the AP said that investigators had
identified a person of interest in the shootings and are
actively seeking that individual. That the shooting on Brown I
mentioned killed two people. That attacker got away. It was
about fifty miles away that MIT professor Knuno Lorrero was
shot while in his home Monday night. Died at the
(19:36):
hospitals a few hours later. So the check and see
if there might be a connection between those two.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Hey, Gary, I just looked at the calendar and it
says it is December eighteenth. Does that mean that the
aliens are upon us?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
It's very close.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
It's tomorrow, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
It's where we start our strange science sawience.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
It's like weird science, but strange.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
So there's a few things you can do. If you
go to space dot com.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
They've got a whole.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
List of things that are going on. They're doing live updates.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Space dot com feels a little too on the nose.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Three I at list will make its closest approach to
Earth tomorrow. It'll be they said, within about one hundred
and sixty eight million miles when it makes its close
fly by tomorrow, like overnight.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I don't know. Actually the exact time that they're saying
this is.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Early on Friday, December night.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Okay, so what there?
Speaker 1 (20:43):
It says about one am Eastern time, so that it's
so it's tonight our time.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Catch this.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
That space dot com website has a link where you
can watch the fly by live online.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Now, is this still dropping its genetic material over us
or did it stop doing that?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Arguably I don't.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
So it's ten o'clock tonight, you guys that it's going
to be closest that it's ever been to us.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Depending on where you are, by the way, and I
don't mean.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Like Arcadia versus Santa Clarita.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
You know where you are in terms of light pollution,
you might be able to say that. Some of them
say you might be able to see this thing with
your bare eyes. Wow, But you almost certainly would if
you had a telescope and knew exactly where to look.
But there are multiple ways you can track it. Like
I said that, you can watch it online. They already
have videos or live trackers up. The coolest way might
(21:42):
be through the Eyes on the Solar System website from
NASA that allows you to follow the comets progress. It
creates a three D model based on real life observations.
But there are other ways. The Comet Observation Database allows
you to track the comet's brightness over time. There's a
(22:03):
smartphone astronomy app that you may have.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I have one that's on there, but I.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Don't think it's advanced enough to know this, but it
will allow you to pinpoint, perhaps where the comet is
in the sky, even if you can't see it with
your naked eye.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Who are they coming here to abduct and probe? Elmer?
He's pointing at you, Elmer.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Well, I just told uh, Richie, I'm going to be
out into town tonight, so hopefully I can meet the
aliens in a more inebriated level.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Why do you need that? Yeah, they'll inebriate you, just fine.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Yeah, they'll drug your right up before the probe.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Yeah, I know, but I want to be I want
to feel good in my human body before they take
me up into their alien bodies.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
You know, I don't think you need any inebriation. I
say you are naturally already about four drinks deeper than
any of us. That's funny, so true. I'm a wacky gug.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
The thing is wacky gag. Do not blink.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
When this thing goes by at about ten o'clock tonight,
when it is at its closest to Earth, it will
be traveling approximately one hundred and forty four thousand miles
an hour.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
One final way to look at this thing, the virtual
Telescope Project is offering a live stream during its closest.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Okay, so where would you send them? Like, where would
you send the aliens? They're here for one night, one
night only. Let's pretend they're not going to come infiltrate
us and take over and the life as we know
it and will be forever changed. They're just going to
hang out on Earth for one night. Where would you
(23:51):
send them?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Quest Field?
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Quest Field?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Do they still call it that?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I don't know, but the game will be over by
the time they get here at ten.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Oh yeah, you're right, well pie in your square then,
I mean that place will still be.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I might send him to Bear's Packers on on Saturday, Saturday.
We've got two games on Saturday. I might send them
to Bears Packers, get them some meat.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I take my aliens to the abbey.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
The abbey. That's a fun night. That's a good night.
I like that. A poor so heavy, like, oh my gosh,
David President, I still talk about the last time we
were there. It was it was okay, So the last
time I was at the abbey was with David and
we were it was right after we went to go
see John Mullaney, right, after the COVID lockdown and John
(24:37):
Mullaney had just gotten out of rehabit. It was his
first show at the Troubadour. Oh and we went to
the abbey after and holy hell, I'm just glad I
did not drive there. Like I had one drink at
the abbey. I mean it was tough times because everything
was like locked down for so long. I get it,
but my god, I don't even know what was in
(24:59):
that you down for this Sunday. I love it there
and the bartenders. Everything about the abbey is magical.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Shannon works on Sundays.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Darn.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yeah, that's like the only place I will still dance
at my advanced age in the Abbey. Yeah, because there's
no judging at the Abbey, or there's judging, all right.
I never feel judged there. It's a different crowd, Gary,
How is it a different Credit's literally the same crowd
(25:29):
of Strange Science.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I mean it's different than where the other places you
might be dancing, which might be more judgmental.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
The Star Garden.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Yes, Jurassic Park comes to reality. Strange Science continues, Brigita
dag Oh, and we do have a comment for Elmer
when we come back.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Some of the big stories before we get back to
before we get back to Strange Science. The the story
that's been developing throughout the course of our show is
this plane crash in North Carolina, a business jet that
has been connected to retired NASCAR driver Greg Biffle. Had
six people on board at that regional airport, and the
reports coming out are that it was Biffle and his
(26:19):
family that were on board. This Sessona five fifty five
to fifty crashed while landing. It had just taken off
from Statesville Regional Airport, about forty five miles north of Charlotte,
and it had come back around and was apparently attempting
to land again when it crashed at the end of
one of the runways. Some drizzle and clouds at the
(26:40):
time of the crash, but that doesn't appear to be
enough to cause the accident. First responders rushed to the scene.
Of course, the airport itself, just where it is I
get I mentioned north of Charlotte, serves several NASCAR teams.
There is a bunch of Fortune five hundred companies as
well that are stationed at least Transportation Wiser stationed at
the at airport. We did our guided meditation. Thank you
(27:03):
to Elmer by the way for doing that just there
at the bottom of the hour. Might as well snip
that out and let people listen to it on the podcast. Yeah,
I think they would enjoy them.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
Wow, that meditation, Almer was unbelievable. I'm not into that
meditation stuff kind of makes me OOI, but man, I
feel so grounded. Elmer, you are the man to make
somebody feel grounded, and I love hearing you on Gary
(27:32):
and Shannon every day. So thank you for being there,
and thank you Gary and Shannon for letting Elmer share
his talent. Have a wonderful day.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
See Elmer, you made a difference that was really sweet.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
And if one person used the talk back feature to
say that there's a lot more people that feel grounded
because of your meditation, it's good. It's a nice little
pause in the day for people. O.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Thanks, thank you all for showing up.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
MO. Have you noticed that Gary also seems a little
bit more serene.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
You know what I'm thinking of?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Huh you want to get high?
Speaker 3 (28:06):
There was a time a few months ago and Elmore
was going to call me in the middle of the night.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Right.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
We were discussing these dudes who call each other right
before they go to bed just to say good night.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
I vaguely remember.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
I'm not suggesting that you call me because if you
called me anytime after ten o'clock, I would not answer
the phone.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
I feel like we're working on this relationship and maybe
in a few months you will pick up. Maybe.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Actually, if you did call me after ten, I would
think you were asking for advice, right, and you'd pick
up right or bail would pick up? Will I will
not do bail, Just so you know.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I will do bail.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
I will bail you outait, Okay, I would call Shannon
for bail.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Yeah, I would absolutely do that. But here is the thing, Like,
I don't remember where I was, but I left. I
guess I was in Utah and I came back and
you guys had really bonded, and you told me that
your relationship had grown leaps and bounds.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
Well I told you that Gary reluctantly.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Yeah, but that's how he shows love.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
I know. Yeah, it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
That's how Gary shows love.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Silence is my love language. Yes, it's freaking up street.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
It's also how he shows anger and how he.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Shows do you remember Jurassic Park I got the DNA.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
And why she was wearing heels?
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Well, that's that's beyond that's the difference. That's for fashionable Friday.
But in strange science, how they got the DNA in
the first place.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
For the diasas, Oh yeah, how was that? I forget?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
That's the whole crux of the thing, right.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
The mosquito that was captured in the amber, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. And mosquitos then were the same as mosquitos
today generally, right, At least that's what John Hammond told everybody.
There was an experiment in Florida to see if, in
fact they would could be able to do the same thing.
Would they be able to extract blood from a mosquito
and tell where that blood came from? And they have
(29:55):
found that it is absolutely possible. An entomologist that works
at the University of Florida, I identified the DNA of
eighty six different species of animals from blood that was
sucked by tens of thousands of mosquitos there in Florida.
Now this is current day. It's obviously not going to
make They're not going to make dinosaurs out of it.
They're not going to replicate any animals from it. But
(30:16):
they were able to use vacuum traps to capture mosquitoes.
After a mosquito sucks your blood ladies only I mean
lady mosquitos only they rest because they use that They
use the protein from the blood to reproduce, so they
have to rest, which means they're docile.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
And you can just go suck them up with a
vacuum trap.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
And then they took you killing baby mosquitos. If you're
doing that, like this makes me feel bad about killing
a mosquito that I just saw eating my blood. So
often that's the case. You look down and you see
there's a mosquito. It's on your wrist. It is eating
your blood, and you go boom, and then you kill
it and you see the blood come out. That could
have been their baby.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
No, that's blood. Oh.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Although they said they found an analysis of the blood
out of the bellies of tens of thousands of these meals,
they found eagles, bald eagle blood, coyote blood, rattlesnake blood,
otter blood, toad blood. Bastards are eating everything. It didn't matter,
No species is safe, nobody from nobody.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Mosquito's going after him.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Wow, And we haven't bonded with the alligators to put
an end to them. You know, imagine if we all
joined forces against the mosquitoes, if it was the alligators
and the bald eagles and the humans and we all
just you know, mister bomber Puss, and we all just
made it our goal, our shared goal, to eradicate mosquitoes.
How important are they for the cycle of light, the
(31:48):
circle of life? Like, how big of a deal are mosquitoes?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Well, they're in the food chain, right.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
But like if we got rid of them, would that
be a problem?
Speaker 5 (31:56):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Really, every piece of the food chain is important, every
single Yeah, that's why they call it.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
A food chain. Every link you know what chain is.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Yeah, but some some links are more important than others. Right, Well,
just because you can take the other two lengths and
put them together.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
But just because you don't eat it doesn't mean larger insects, birds, frogs, amphibians.
There you go, frogs, lizards, and then bigger animals eat them,
and then bigger animals eat them, and then bigger animals
eat them, and then we eat the biggest animals.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Okay, I just googled it. I wanted to listen to
you and take your opinion as useful to me, but
I didn't. I googled it. Mosquitoes are surprisingly important to ecosystems.
They pollinate plants, especially in the Arctic, a vital food
source for fish and birds and bats and reptiles which
we eat right. They are nutrient recyclers or their decomposition
(32:57):
of organic matter. They form a crucial link in the
food web, even though they transmit diseases to us. Huh,
it's I guess we got to keep them around.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Who told you that? Like thirty seconds ago?
Speaker 1 (33:07):
I know, and I apologize for doing that.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (33:14):
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 kf
I AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. We are live, we are people.
We are alive, guaranteed human. We are not AI. Because
if this is what AI was, oh, it's due, it
would have no future.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
That is awful. Football tonight, Thursday night football. This is
gonna be a big, big deal because this game game
is a big game.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
This is gonna be the Rams against the Seahawks in Seattle.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
See. This is a problem because like the Okay, remember
when the Dodgers were in the World Series. It was
like Game five or something, and my husband had a
work party and I had to go to that. I'm
happy to go to it. But it's Game five of
the World Series, or it was game six, like it
was it was, I think it was like anyway, it
was crunch time. It was the World Series, and I'm like, oh,
(00:57):
it's bad if I pull up the game on my
phone and now he's got another work party tonight. Oh
and I mean, I'm gonna have to have that game
on my phone. Right.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Were you gonna do the old Homer Simpson thing? You
take an air pod with you and at least listen
to the game.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
But yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Can't put an air pod in my ear that's like
the worst of the worst. At least in my phone.
If I keep the game on, it just kind of
put it in my pocket and like walk to a
corner or the bathroom. Maybe I've got ibs. I don't know.
I got to go to the bathroom all the time.
I can check the score could develop pretty quickly. It can,
it can quick onset ibs. It should be raining at
(01:34):
the beginning of the game, but it's expected to dry
up at least for most of the rest of it.
It's gonna be like the biggest Thursday night football game.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Ever this season ever, but of this season definitely so far,
which raises the question what else is going on?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Time for what's happening?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Sheriff in Iredelle County, North carol Carolina confirmed that there
were fatalities in a business jet that crashed at a
regional airport Statesville, North Carolina. This business jet had been
used by NASCAR teams in Fortune five hundred. Sorry, the
airport had been used by NASCAR teams in Fortune five hundred.
Companies Sessana five point fifty crashed while it was coming
(02:20):
back in for a landing. It had taken off, made
a quick loop, and was coming back into Statesville Regional
Airport just after ten o'clock North Carolina time. Crashed at
the end of the runway. The airport is now closed
until further notice. As of right now, they have not confirmed,
but the plane itself apparently belongs to a company associated
(02:44):
with associated with Greg Biffle, former NASCAR driver, well well known,
well regarded NASCAR driver Greg Biffle.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
One of the coolest buildings in downtown La is going
to reopen as a nightclub. I love that it's the
Mayan Theater. It's on Hill Street and it's one hundred
years old, and man, how cool. This is going to
be a revival of the Mayan. The longtime operator, Sammy Chao,
(03:17):
announced that it would shut down, but we've got a
new operator. We don't know who it is, but the
teas is that the legacy continues inside this historic landmark.
It originally opened in August of nineteen twenty seven, designed
by the La architectural firm Morgan, Walls and Clements, and
it has that elaborate Mayan revival interior created by Mexican
(03:40):
artist Francisco to Corneo. It was first a legitimate theater
focused on musicals, musical comedy, and then over the decades
it went through several iterations, Spanish language performances, film screenings,
adult films at one point, and then reborn as a
nightclub and live music. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
One of the greatest places I went. This would have
been seventy years ago. Now was the Edison. Did you
ever go there? Yes, downstairs, it's a great building.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Is it opened. I don't even know if it's still open.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah, I think it is, But that was a very
very cool place to eat. Look, so we could see
some rain for Christmas. The powerful Pineapple Express that's been
just absolutely hammering the Pacific northwest has slid to the
south a bit. We are getting some rain in parts
of northern California. The most likely scenario, they said, is
(04:33):
for some rain in La Venturist, Santa Barbara and San
Luis Obispo counties. Two to four inches of rain on
the coast and in the valleys between Christmas Eve and
the day after Christmas. About a fifty percent chance of
that scenario coming to pass.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I saw this article in the New York Times. The
headline was, the woman caught on the cold play kiss
cam is finally ready to talk. And I'm thinking, who's
ready to listen? Like, who's begging? Who's begging to hear what.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
She has to say?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Did she really have to take this time for herself?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I said, like to cheat on your house?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Reflect about this time? And apparently Kristen is her name,
and she's talking. It finally speaks out. They say about
the moment that cost her career and exposed her to death. Thereats, Okay,
calm down, yeah, welcome to a Tuesday, Gary and Shannon.
She says that, oh, it was just a bad decisions
and a couple of high noons that led to that moment.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
A couple of high notes.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Okay, and you know, if I'm a high noon f
and you get out of here, right, that's a good point.
Drag me in this crime scene, weirdo.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
We talked a little bit earlier, but the Jambonet Ramsey
case were almost to the twenty ninth anniversary of the
Jambonet Ramsey murder in Boulder, Colorado, from so long ago.
Her dad John gave an interview, or has been giving
interviews one of them aired last night on KTLA and
describes the new developments in the case that he says
(06:12):
give him some optimism that this case could be resolved soon.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Part of it is because new leadership in the department.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I mean, you figure the Bolder Police Department and the
Boulder the Sheriff's department that was involved in the investigation
has changed multiple times since then.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
But in this case, he says, it's very encouraging.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
And one of the things that he talked about was
the obvious advancements when it comes to DNA technology. That
there is some DNA evidence that was found at the scene.
There were some concerns that it might have matched John
or their son what was his name, Burke. They were
(06:52):
excluded fifteen years ago or something like that. So the
advancements in technology when it comes to DNA screening may
make a difference with all of that.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
All right, when we come back, we'll get you a
live guided meditation with Elmer Elmer.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yeah, wait a minute, what if we have something else?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Oh, spaghettios, We've got a chase through Sun Valley, y'all.
CHP officers in pursuit. Looks like a gold Is that
a gold Sedan. Would you say.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Gary gold or silver Honda Civic.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Perhaps that's a good car. It's a good car.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Working with a glare here.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
You can go on this chase for about two hundred
and thirty seven thousand miles in a Honda Civic.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
At least.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
I think mine had something like that. It wasn't a
cord that I had an accord. It was a manual too.
I love that car, good old days. Oh yeah, drove
it right into the ground. My husband still does that
with cars. He likes to drive him into the ground.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Toyota.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I can't tell from this a that.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Is a Toyota Camry.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
That's a that's a good call. I think he might
be right.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I think I'm not sure, though.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
We'll get out.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I'm not going to die on that hill.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
This is by the way.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
I five south right at the Sunland Boulevard exit through
sun Valley.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
I like that area.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
It's pretty make its way right over there.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Yeah, right over there. How is the traffic looking. Let
me pull up SigAlert here, because the the five there
through Burbank is, as you know, a third world country.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
It's so much better than it used to.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
It is the pot the mass you're right, You're absolutely right.
They have done some good work there, they have. They have,
so I'm looking at a pretty pretty nice go of
things for him. On the five. Is that a female? Not,
it's a male. It's a male. It's a male. It's
a male. He's got a gray sweatshirt. Looks like a
beefy man. And uh, let's see. He's got smooth sailing, sir,
(08:51):
smooth sailing through Burbank there as you make your way
from Sun Valley into Burbank. Right now, he's passing the exit.
Oh is he coming over?
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Bring it on, buddy, Yeah, let's go. We'll continue to
watch this and bring you latest. You ready almost study meditation.
This guy's gonna need it. Yeah, listening, he's taking the
Hollywood Way act.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yep. Oh, he's definitely he is a Hollywood Way exit.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
That's not just the name of that little bar restaurant
that's right there at the end of the exit.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
The ramp, I think is what it's called.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Oh, I don't know, is that?
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I usually wait till I get to the airport. Jean
does a great vodka soda. There at Bob Hope Airport,
you can get a turkey wrap for twenty seven dollars. Yeah,
don't buy food there, just buy vodka.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Welcome to Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
If you're flying in on a Southwest flight, say from
I don't know, Phoenix or Albuquerque or something, and you're
flying into Burbank, you're gonna fly right over the end
of this pursuit with the cha They finally pitted this
guy and got him on the northbound lanes of Hollywood Way,
right at the end of the runway for Burbank Airport.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Hopefully they'll be able to clear this up quickly because
you know, got flights to catch. It's on the part
where you'd be leaving the airport. Really thankfully, but I'm
sure still yeah, headed to the airport. Those people are
going to be distracted by all of this.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
But again, on Hollywood Way, they're just what would that
be east of the fence line to the Burbank Airport.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Elmer, part of our guest team here, has launched a
new venture. He has the YouTube channel. You can check
it out.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Where do people find it besides YouTube? How do they
specifically find it.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Just got googling on YouTube meditate with.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Elmer, Meditate with Elmer. There you go.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Soon it'll be on like Spotify, Apple and stuff. But yeah, yeah,
I'll do that in a couple of days.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
And the iHeart app. I say that the.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
App right, yeah, yeah, obviously, So we thought that now
would be the time because we're seven days from Christmas.
Oh my gosh, goodness, that's crazy, and so Elmer is
going to try and calm you all down. All right,
We're going to do a guided meditation by Elmer. Am
I saying that right now? Well? How does it branded?
Speaker 5 (11:17):
No, it's good. It's a guide of meditation. That's awesome.
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Okay, you're welcome.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
So oh we'll do yeah, well you're playing that right,
not me? Yeah, okay, go into this great good night
cash Gary.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
Okay. So I think going into the holidays, we should
all focus on gratitude. You know, we're all going to
receive gifts, we're all going to give out gifts, but
I think we should take a second to appreciate what
we have. So if you can, for a moment, thank
(11:54):
the people around you in your head, not you know,
next to you about I'm gonna be thanking you had
KFI team guaranteanning follom. You do this, it's pretty cool.
But thank people in your life, you know, family or friends.
Take a moment while we breathe, Okay. Our breath is
(12:20):
our direct connection to life, you know. So I think
it's important when we go into these kind of meditations
that we really take in our breaths. We hold it in.
So if you're driving, you know, keep your hands on
the wheel. If you're at home, you know, let's place
our hands in our hearts and let's breathe together as one.
(12:50):
If you're in a safe place, you could close your eyes.
But yeah, let's think about stuff that we're thankful for.
But we're grateful for as we breathe three times, so
follow me brief in, brieve out, brief in, breathe out,
(13:23):
one more time in drieve out. So I love thinking
about gratitude every day. I think it's one of our superpowers.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
You know.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
It connects us, reminds us that what we have right
now is pretty amazing. And as we try to look
for other things in life, you know, like the goals
that we have set off, let's take a second to appreciate,
like where we are like when we were kids, We're like, oh,
one day I can have an apartment like you, and
you're living in that apartment. It's amazing. Or I wish
(14:05):
I could be my person like now it's been like
a few years and you're with them, and you forgot
for a second. Hey, I'm so grateful that you're in
my life, or you're best friends, you know, anyone in
your life. For coworkers, there's so much people who can
be grateful for. M let's keep really handsome to chest.
(14:36):
We're gonna wrap it up with something I like to do.
It's called uh, it's mindful. It's giving out love, it's
receiving love by saying these three things. And we're gonna
change it from I to you. But first off, we'll
start off with may I be safe, May I be
(14:57):
at ease, May I be feeled with gratitude. As you're
thinking that, think of what you're grateful for. Then we
send it back out into the world. May you be safe,
May you be at ease, and may you be feel
with gratitude. So I want you to think about everyone
(15:17):
in your life that you're grateful for and the people
that you might not be grateful for you know, they
still deserve it as well. Everyone around the world, everyone listening.
May I be safe, May I be at ease, May
I be feeled with gratitude. May you be safe, May
(15:40):
you be at ease, May you be feel good gratitude.
And with that we adjourn, and I wish everyone a
happy holiday instead of travels. You're gonna need it.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Oh Mather, that was beautiful.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I loved that. Don't we feel calmer? Ye? Yeah, so soothing,
so good.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Meditation, meditation in the middle of the day. A lot
of people don't make time for that. It's nice have
a little reset. Gary, did we lose you?
Speaker 5 (16:18):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Are you now an anorexic like an office space?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
But just being quiet?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
A M six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
What is this?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
What's happening?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
What are these feelings I have?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Right? What is this?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
What is this sense of call my core?
Speaker 5 (16:44):
You flipped the book. You flipped the book real quick
and energy.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah out to one hundred people like what's going on?
What's happening?
Speaker 5 (16:54):
And in my high autation and meditation.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
With with Elmer uh and you don't know who vicdor
brick is do you.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
You would love vic the brick? You guys would be
some pozzico bricked up? What pick the brick down?
Speaker 5 (17:09):
The hall.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Suggestions that that you and Brick should have a meditation off.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yeah, he would be. That would be good stuff. That'd
be really good stuff. I like that for us that
we have that we have Elma the brick.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Oh, he's got to work up to that.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Did you want to play some of the feedback? Okay?
A small plane has crashed into a building at van
Ey's Airport. Apparently it was stolen from a flight school.
Somebody stole this single engine Cesna. One person has been detained.
They crashed it into a building there at van Ey's Nose.
(17:50):
First shows the pictures from overhead show the building with
a hole in it. Law enforcement says a plane did
not get off the ground and they don't know if
they're searching for anybody else. But this plane was jacked
from a flight school and then quickly crashed into a building.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Bid.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Yeah, because I guess you could say it was driven
and not flown.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah, if it never left the ground.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
One of my girlfriend's Elmer who listens to the show
at work. Said what is happening? I said, it's meditation
with Elmer. I said, do you feel relaxed? She said,
very totally works she wrote, and then she says Monica,
who is her coworkerna? Monica thought, I was listening to
a show about dinosaurs, which I know delights you. It
(18:37):
makes no sense, but you also like dinosaurs. I love dinosaurs. Right,
Monica must be high. No, Monica is not high. She
is like a pharmacist.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
He I do have an update on them.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
She could not legally get high.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
She her own to her own supply. No, no, no, no,
no no.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I have an update on that shooting out of Brown University.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Here's a wrinkle that we hadn't heard before.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Authorities are investigating that possible connection between the shooting at
Brown University that killed two students over the weekend injured
nine with the killing of an MIT professor.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Two days later, two of the people.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
And I talked to the AP said that investigators had
identified a person of interest in the shootings and are
actively seeking that individual. That the shooting on Brown I
mentioned killed two people. That attacker got away. It was
about fifty miles away that MIT professor Knuno Lorrero was
shot while in his home Monday night. Died at the
(19:36):
hospitals a few hours later. So the check and see
if there might be a connection between those two.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Hey, Gary, I just looked at the calendar and it
says it is December eighteenth. Does that mean that the
aliens are upon us?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
It's very close.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
It's tomorrow, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
It's where we start our strange science sawience.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
It's like weird science, but strange.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
So there's a few things you can do. If you
go to space dot com.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
They've got a whole.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
List of things that are going on. They're doing live updates.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Space dot com feels a little too on the nose.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Three I at list will make its closest approach to
Earth tomorrow. It'll be they said, within about one hundred
and sixty eight million miles when it makes its close
fly by tomorrow, like overnight.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I don't know. Actually the exact time that they're saying
this is.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Early on Friday, December night.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Okay, so what there?
Speaker 1 (20:43):
It says about one am Eastern time, so that it's
so it's tonight our time.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Catch this.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
That space dot com website has a link where you
can watch the fly by live online.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Now, is this still dropping its genetic material over us
or did it stop doing that?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Arguably I don't.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
So it's ten o'clock tonight, you guys that it's going
to be closest that it's ever been to us.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Depending on where you are, by the way, and I
don't mean.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Like Arcadia versus Santa Clarita.
Speaker 3 (21:15):
You know where you are in terms of light pollution,
you might be able to say that. Some of them
say you might be able to see this thing with
your bare eyes. Wow, But you almost certainly would if
you had a telescope and knew exactly where to look.
But there are multiple ways you can track it. Like
I said that, you can watch it online. They already
have videos or live trackers up. The coolest way might
(21:42):
be through the Eyes on the Solar System website from
NASA that allows you to follow the comets progress. It
creates a three D model based on real life observations.
But there are other ways. The Comet Observation Database allows
you to track the comet's brightness over time. There's a
(22:03):
smartphone astronomy app that you may have.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I have one that's on there, but I.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Don't think it's advanced enough to know this, but it
will allow you to pinpoint, perhaps where the comet is
in the sky, even if you can't see it with
your naked eye.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Who are they coming here to abduct and probe? Elmer?
He's pointing at you, Elmer.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Well, I just told uh, Richie, I'm going to be
out into town tonight, so hopefully I can meet the
aliens in a more inebriated level.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Why do you need that? Yeah, they'll inebriate you, just fine.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Yeah, they'll drug your right up before the probe.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Yeah, I know, but I want to be I want
to feel good in my human body before they take
me up into their alien bodies.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
You know, I don't think you need any inebriation. I
say you are naturally already about four drinks deeper than
any of us. That's funny, so true. I'm a wacky gug.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
The thing is wacky gag. Do not blink.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
When this thing goes by at about ten o'clock tonight,
when it is at its closest to Earth, it will
be traveling approximately one hundred and forty four thousand miles
an hour.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
One final way to look at this thing, the virtual
Telescope Project is offering a live stream during its closest.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Okay, so where would you send them? Like, where would
you send the aliens? They're here for one night, one
night only. Let's pretend they're not going to come infiltrate
us and take over and the life as we know
it and will be forever changed. They're just going to
hang out on Earth for one night. Where would you
(23:51):
send them?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Quest Field?
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Quest Field?
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Do they still call it that?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I don't know, but the game will be over by
the time they get here at ten.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Oh yeah, you're right, well pie in your square then,
I mean that place will still be.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I might send him to Bear's Packers on on Saturday, Saturday.
We've got two games on Saturday. I might send them
to Bears Packers, get them some meat.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
I take my aliens to the abbey.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
The abbey. That's a fun night. That's a good night.
I like that. A poor so heavy, like, oh my gosh,
David President, I still talk about the last time we
were there. It was it was okay, So the last
time I was at the abbey was with David and
we were it was right after we went to go
see John Mullaney, right, after the COVID lockdown and John
(24:37):
Mullaney had just gotten out of rehabit. It was his
first show at the Troubadour. Oh and we went to
the abbey after and holy hell, I'm just glad I
did not drive there. Like I had one drink at
the abbey. I mean it was tough times because everything
was like locked down for so long. I get it,
but my god, I don't even know what was in
(24:59):
that you down for this Sunday. I love it there
and the bartenders. Everything about the abbey is magical.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Shannon works on Sundays.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
Darn.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Yeah, that's like the only place I will still dance
at my advanced age in the Abbey. Yeah, because there's
no judging at the Abbey, or there's judging, all right.
I never feel judged there. It's a different crowd, Gary,
How is it a different Credit's literally the same crowd
(25:29):
of Strange Science.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I mean it's different than where the other places you
might be dancing, which might be more judgmental.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
The Star Garden.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Yes, Jurassic Park comes to reality. Strange Science continues, Brigita
dag Oh, and we do have a comment for Elmer
when we come back.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Some of the big stories before we get back to
before we get back to Strange Science. The the story
that's been developing throughout the course of our show is
this plane crash in North Carolina, a business jet that
has been connected to retired NASCAR driver Greg Biffle. Had
six people on board at that regional airport, and the
reports coming out are that it was Biffle and his
(26:19):
family that were on board. This Sessona five fifty five
to fifty crashed while landing. It had just taken off
from Statesville Regional Airport, about forty five miles north of Charlotte,
and it had come back around and was apparently attempting
to land again when it crashed at the end of
one of the runways. Some drizzle and clouds at the
(26:40):
time of the crash, but that doesn't appear to be
enough to cause the accident. First responders rushed to the scene.
Of course, the airport itself, just where it is I
get I mentioned north of Charlotte, serves several NASCAR teams.
There is a bunch of Fortune five hundred companies as
well that are stationed at least Transportation Wiser stationed at
the at airport. We did our guided meditation. Thank you
(27:03):
to Elmer by the way for doing that just there
at the bottom of the hour. Might as well snip
that out and let people listen to it on the podcast. Yeah,
I think they would enjoy them.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
Wow, that meditation, Almer was unbelievable. I'm not into that
meditation stuff kind of makes me OOI, but man, I
feel so grounded. Elmer, you are the man to make
somebody feel grounded, and I love hearing you on Gary
(27:32):
and Shannon every day. So thank you for being there,
and thank you Gary and Shannon for letting Elmer share
his talent. Have a wonderful day.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
See Elmer, you made a difference that was really sweet.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
And if one person used the talk back feature to
say that there's a lot more people that feel grounded
because of your meditation, it's good. It's a nice little
pause in the day for people. O.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
Thanks, thank you all for showing up.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
MO. Have you noticed that Gary also seems a little
bit more serene.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
You know what I'm thinking of?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Huh you want to get high?
Speaker 3 (28:06):
There was a time a few months ago and Elmore
was going to call me in the middle of the night.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
Right.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
We were discussing these dudes who call each other right
before they go to bed just to say good night.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
I vaguely remember.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
I'm not suggesting that you call me because if you
called me anytime after ten o'clock, I would not answer
the phone.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
I feel like we're working on this relationship and maybe
in a few months you will pick up. Maybe.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Actually, if you did call me after ten, I would
think you were asking for advice, right, and you'd pick
up right or bail would pick up? Will I will
not do bail, Just so you know.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I will do bail.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
I will bail you outait, Okay, I would call Shannon
for bail.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Yeah, I would absolutely do that. But here is the thing, Like,
I don't remember where I was, but I left. I
guess I was in Utah and I came back and
you guys had really bonded, and you told me that
your relationship had grown leaps and bounds.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
Well I told you that Gary reluctantly.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Yeah, but that's how he shows love.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
I know. Yeah, it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
That's how Gary shows love.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Silence is my love language. Yes, it's freaking up street.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
It's also how he shows anger and how he.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Shows do you remember Jurassic Park I got the DNA.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
And why she was wearing heels?
Speaker 3 (29:20):
Well, that's that's beyond that's the difference. That's for fashionable Friday.
But in strange science, how they got the DNA in
the first place.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
For the diasas, Oh yeah, how was that? I forget?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
That's the whole crux of the thing, right.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
The mosquito that was captured in the amber, Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. And mosquitos then were the same as mosquitos
today generally, right, At least that's what John Hammond told everybody.
There was an experiment in Florida to see if, in
fact they would could be able to do the same thing.
Would they be able to extract blood from a mosquito
and tell where that blood came from? And they have
(29:55):
found that it is absolutely possible. An entomologist that works
at the University of Florida, I identified the DNA of
eighty six different species of animals from blood that was
sucked by tens of thousands of mosquitos there in Florida.
Now this is current day. It's obviously not going to
make They're not going to make dinosaurs out of it.
They're not going to replicate any animals from it. But
(30:16):
they were able to use vacuum traps to capture mosquitoes.
After a mosquito sucks your blood ladies only I mean
lady mosquitos only they rest because they use that They
use the protein from the blood to reproduce, so they
have to rest, which means they're docile.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
And you can just go suck them up with a
vacuum trap.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
And then they took you killing baby mosquitos. If you're
doing that, like this makes me feel bad about killing
a mosquito that I just saw eating my blood. So
often that's the case. You look down and you see
there's a mosquito. It's on your wrist. It is eating
your blood, and you go boom, and then you kill
it and you see the blood come out. That could
have been their baby.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
No, that's blood. Oh.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Although they said they found an analysis of the blood
out of the bellies of tens of thousands of these meals,
they found eagles, bald eagle blood, coyote blood, rattlesnake blood,
otter blood, toad blood. Bastards are eating everything. It didn't matter,
No species is safe, nobody from nobody.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Mosquito's going after him.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Wow, And we haven't bonded with the alligators to put
an end to them. You know, imagine if we all
joined forces against the mosquitoes, if it was the alligators
and the bald eagles and the humans and we all
just you know, mister bomber Puss, and we all just
made it our goal, our shared goal, to eradicate mosquitoes.
How important are they for the cycle of light, the
(31:48):
circle of life? Like, how big of a deal are mosquitoes?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Well, they're in the food chain, right.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
But like if we got rid of them, would that
be a problem?
Speaker 5 (31:56):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Really, every piece of the food chain is important, every
single Yeah, that's why they call it.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
A food chain. Every link you know what chain is.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Yeah, but some some links are more important than others. Right, Well,
just because you can take the other two lengths and
put them together.
Speaker 3 (32:15):
But just because you don't eat it doesn't mean larger insects, birds, frogs, amphibians.
There you go, frogs, lizards, and then bigger animals eat them,
and then bigger animals eat them, and then bigger animals
eat them, and then we eat the biggest animals.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Okay, I just googled it. I wanted to listen to
you and take your opinion as useful to me, but
I didn't. I googled it. Mosquitoes are surprisingly important to ecosystems.
They pollinate plants, especially in the Arctic, a vital food
source for fish and birds and bats and reptiles which
we eat right. They are nutrient recyclers or their decomposition
(32:57):
of organic matter. They form a crucial link in the
food web, even though they transmit diseases to us. Huh,
it's I guess we got to keep them around.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Who told you that? Like thirty seconds ago?
Speaker 1 (33:07):
I know, and I apologize for doing that.
