This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
At the bottom of the hour, we're going to talk
more about this story that came out. Records showed that
Uber received reports of sexual misconduct every eight minutes for
about five years.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
That's how many of them there were.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
We're also taking your ride share nightmares if you are
a driver with the craziest things that have happened in
your backseat, or even if you are a ride share customer,
some of the crazy things you've had to deal with
with the drivers, because every once in a while they
get some crazy ones to slip through.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
There's some pictures that just came up from when we
were at the convention last year Chicago.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Who's this guy?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Did we make friends with the security guy at the
baseball game?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Oh, remember there was something about him. He was doing
something and you asked him for something and then he
got moved out of the Oh right.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
None of them like kicked out. Who are these people
we took a picture with?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Those are just the guys that were in front of us,
and then.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
We were best friends with them.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
By the end of the night, cool, cool, funny, how
fuzzy it was from just Fuzzy.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Hi there, Janet from Victorville just wanted to say, it
was so fun listening to you guys open up that
Hello Kitty package. It just brought me so much joy
to hear your guys is joy. I wanted to know
if Shannon remembered the smell of that Hello Kitty store
when you walked total. It was just like a little
girl's dream. And the gum that was my favorite part.
(01:35):
That brick of gum had four little squares white chalky day.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Yes, I forgot about the gum.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah, that store was like the Maca, Like that was
the coolest thing in San Francisco.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I don't know the gum.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Well, you weren't a little girl. You weren't a Night
eight or little girl. But yeah, and I didn't know
that Igloo partnered up with them. They had a collab
with Hello Kitty and their products are amazingly cool.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
You guys tiptoe up to the line when you start
talking about certain subjects and I start to get nervous
for you guys. I'm thinking, is this what's going to
get him suspended? Is this what's going to get him
in trouble. It's still funny as hell though, but you
guys make nervous someday.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
My aunt mary Anne came up to hang out on Saturday.
I went kayaking and paddle boarding, and she said that
one of her friends said that there was.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Kind of bought into the whole getting suspended.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Thing, and my aunt's like she was in Yellowstone, like
she wasn't suspended.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
What an awful suspend.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
He could tell though, that there was a difference in
the tenor of the show that after we got suspended,
that we were we were a little bit.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
More tame, all right.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
So Friday afternoon, Gavin Newsom got into this fight between
the Trump administration and college campuses, specific UCLA. The morning
of July twenty ninth, so just a couple of weeks ago,
UCLA had announced that it was settling a federal lawsuit
with students who had accused it of discrimination. They were
(03:12):
going to pay out more than two million dollars to
Jewish civil rights groups and millions more in legal fees.
They said that this was real action, because it was
real progress in dealing with anti Semitism on campus. Then
they sent a nice note card probably not to the
Trump administration and said, see, we're making progress, we're doing
(03:37):
good things here. We don't like anti semites marauding through
our campus.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
And would they have stayed under the radar had they
not done that, because it seems like once they pointed
the Trump administration to the settlement of look we've done something,
that's when the you know, all of the attention landed
on UCLA and they and the administration went after them.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Today.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
By the way, there is an emergency meeting of the
UC Board of Regents on tomorrow. There's going to be
a federal court hearing in a pre existing case that could.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Result in some UC grants being restored.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
But Friday afternoon, Gaven Newsom got into all of this
that there was a demand from the Trump administration that
the University of California pay a one billion dollar fine
over a bunch of different allegations against UCLA. Specifically, the
anti semitism on campus was part of it, but also
(04:33):
illegal use of race and admissions and policies that allow
transgender athletes to compete according to their gender identity. Gavin
Newsoms wrote, he has threatened us through extortion. He being
Trump through extortion with a billion dollar fine. Unless we
do his bidding, we will not be complicit in this
kind of attack on academic freedom on this extraordinary public institution.
(04:59):
There's a couple of things going on here. Number one,
this is a public university. It's different than what we
saw the fights that were going on with say Harvard
and Columbia and Brown, because.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
There's some private schools.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
And this governor sort of the de facto head of
the University of California system anyway, just based on his position.
He's taking on this mantle because he wants to be
seen as a champion for the downtrodden, or in this case,
a champion for people who are willing to pay seventy
or eighty thousand dollars in order to go to UCLA,
(05:32):
which is fine. Like, I don't I don't fault him
for that. I think that this is probably a legitimate fight.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Well, he pays seventy thousand dollars upwards, I think for
his child to go to Brandson.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
So that's also a very important desk.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Seventh grade education should cost you seventy five grand a year, right, what.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Are what you're four year college education was? But so
I don't fault him for getting into this fight. He's
perfectly in the right position to do so. But don't
make any mistake about what this guy's plans are. This
is not just a fight for what did he say,
the academic freedom for this extraordinary public institution. This is
(06:13):
him grabbing the spotlight and shining it directly onto his
spray tan face and saying, I mean, I know it's
ironic to say that versus Donald Trump, but he is saying,
I am the guy who will take on the guy.
He is setting this up as a way to get
(06:34):
into the twenty twenty eight presidential race. Before he gets
into the twenty twenty eight president.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
He's been in that race for a couple of years now.
He's just slimed his way in, you know, hair grace.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
And slid his way. All right, We've got an update
on the water situation.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Apparently it has been restored in Grenada Hills, but boil
water notice is still in place.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Are people boiling water? You just see that? You're like, Okay,
I would would you?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Yeah, I would.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I boil all my water most of the time anyway, Right,
I was gonna say, but you're a boil water guy.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
It's what I do.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Do you know who else is making comeback? Not that
Hello Kitty ever left us, but Strawberry Shortcake. I keep
seeing Strawberry Shortcake on backpacks and stuff. I love Strawberry
Shortcake and Rainbow Bright too. Know what rainbow You don't
know what Rainbow Bright is?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Oh boy?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Well, did you know that Ernie Banks held the record
single season record with five Grand slams in nineteen fifty five?
It was broken, It stood until nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Who did it in nineteen eighty seven? George Brett?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Oh look at you at the Kansas City Royals love.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Uh eighty seven? Six Grand slams in one season?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Yeah, think think quintessential nineteen eighty seven. A player even
I could name, not Darryl Strawberry, but from the East Coast,
Dawn Maddingly. Oh okay, yeah, like yes, that totally nineteen.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
Holy moly, let's play two Ernie Banks on the Cubs.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Yeah, let's play too. Beers from Chicago.
Speaker 8 (08:30):
Boy, god bless you, boy, oh god bless.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Let's play too was a famous Ernie Banks quote because
he was so excited to play a double header.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Let's play too.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Last week I ran into somebody who knows people who
work for our company worked for iHeart in Chicago, and
he said he'd been in that iHeart building.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
We did the show there ye one day.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
A building with all the windows.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
And that view were on the third Oh my god,
you could see the lake.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
That was a gorgeous that office. That was like right
kitty corner to where we are. The sun come in.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Oh, it was so great.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
That was so nice.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
That was so nice to go.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
From there straight to O'Hare Airport. I did you went
somewhere else? I had a game time you took off
to go somewhere else. Yeah, we could see the Burbank
Nature Park from our window.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
You have.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
The Burbank Nature crass uh stuck stuck in your cra
the Bourbank Nature Park. And every day I think, you
know what, I'm going to take a look at that
nature park because what it is it's an empty lot.
And Gary cannot stop talking about the misuse of this
block of land. It is a corner parcel of land
(09:47):
and it is called the the Burbank Nature Park. Allisuedly
there's some sign as you've seen there. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
it's just covered in bark, and there's a couple of benches.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Would you say the bench?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I'm not even sure if I notice.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
It's a pretty lucrative piece of land that to just
have people taking their dogs to take a crap in
the morning, right yep? Or in the afternoon or whenever
your dog sees fit. What would you like to do?
Would you like it to be an actual nature park?
Would you like to go plant trees? I mean we
could get something going. What if you just put pickleball
courts out there?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Pickleball court?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Pickleball court.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
That's a pretty.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Busy intersection there, so yeah, I mean where would people park?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Is what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
There's a spot where California Street was blocked off. You
could easily fit eighteen twenty cars on that little strip
right there.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Okay, sorry, I get it. Sorry?
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Would you go play pickleball? Totally?
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Really?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Do you play pickleball?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
I have you have the stuff? I do have the stuff?
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Oh you have the stuff? Yeah, I'd like to play pickleball.
How can we never play pickleball? Can you find a
place around here we go play? After work? Okay?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I mean, it's the summer. It's all I don't care.
Eric's got a place. Oh okay around here.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Okay, that's close. Will you play with us? No, you
got a job. You gotta work here.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
He's getting married.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Water service has been restored to our friends and customers
in Granada Hills and Porter Ranch. But but, but, big, one,
big butt, big, but you must continue to boil your water.
DWP said service was fully restored as of about two
thirty this morning, just before two thirty, and a boil
water notice is going to be in effect.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
You can use the water.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
You can use the water for showering, for flushing, for
all the outside your body stuff, but probably not for
toothbrushing or drinking or cooking. Just as as yet, boil
it before you do those things with it.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
You know, there's people that are going to be like,
I'm not gonna brush my teeth today. Yes, you know,
like you're you're looking for an excuse. You're like, nah,
it's a whole boil water thing. I'll brush my teeth
next week. Don't let this stop you.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I don't think that's I think you're going to say.
They're going to just use the waters.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
The boil water.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
So they need to do two water quality tests and
each one is still eighteen hour round. The same people
who broke the valve in the first place, right, But
I'm sorry they didn't break it.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
They found that it was broken.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
They need to complete two eighteen hour rounds of water
quality testing before they'll confirm that the water is safe.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
So good luck. They're still passing out waters.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
By the way, Ernie Banks was the first African American
player for the Chicago Cubs. They viewed September seventeenth, nineteen
fifty three. September seventeenth, the big day for baseball. I
was singing about October seventeenth. I was singing about the earthquake.
Is that the seventeenth?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yes? Got it?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
But yeah, nineteen fifty eight and fifty nine, Ernie Banks
the first player in the NL to in consecutive MVP awards.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I knew that part. I didn't realize it was the
first black player for the Coast.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I did not know that either, because that seems like
it before was when Jackie Robinson broke.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
The conference fifty six years later. Slow up. Next, the
sex report.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
The sex report, well specifically uber sex report, and it's
not as sexy as you think it's not.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
A sex report when it's assault. Bro Okay, let me
rephrase that.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
The sexual misconduct report for uber Gary and Shannon will
continue like what I call.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
It sex training and it's sexual harassment training.
Speaker 7 (13:37):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM.
Six forty.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
American officials trying to finalize some of our details between
of the summit between Presidents Trump and Putin. It's supposed
to be play take place in Alaska, but there are
still some logistical and geopolitical issues that are still unsled.
Four days ahead of this thing. We do not have
a venue, at least not one that has been has
(14:06):
been announced. Official still trying to figure out the I
love it when they talk about this. They're still trying
to figure out the contours of the discussion. President said
he hopes it can yield some significant progress towards ending
the war in Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Saw an article about ozempic. This was in the New
York Post.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Ozempic users aged backwards by more than three years in
a new trial, not only did you drop pounds, but
turned back the time. This was the first trial to
directly measure the impact of some glue tide on aging.
Half the participants were given a weekly injection of ozempic,
the other half received a placebo for thirty two weeks.
(14:46):
Those on semi glue tide on average became three point
one years biologically younger by the end of the study.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
How do they jet, Well, I don't know, my little mind.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
They measure chronic chronological age. They use metabolism, inflammation, and
organ function. Researchers note that the anti aging effects of
GLP one varied across the body's systems. The most dramatic
improvements were to the brain and an inflammatory system, where
(15:21):
the drug appeared to delay biological aging by five years.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Significant improvement in the heart and kidneys.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Also, when you lose weight like that, you feel younger,
you act younger, Your brain.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Is going to tell you you're younger.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
It's I don't I don't like the stories that we
do about this because they give all the credit to
the drug. The drug is doing something. Yes, it's suppressing
the appetite. They're not even quite sure exactly how it's working.
But the majority of those benefits that are coming from
it are because of the lost weight. Yeah, not because
the medicine is changing your body. It's the losing of
(15:57):
the right changing.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Exactly like you've known people that have lost weight before
some my glue tides hit the market, and that's what
you've seen.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
They look younger, they act younger, all of it. And
so I mean that's great. Oh, I mean no.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Matter how you get there. My little ring thing here
tells me what my cardiovascular age is. And then it's
it's one hundred and four. No, it's it's twelve years
younger than my actual age.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Well, you you do cardio, you walk, you run, you
do all the things. My husband's aura ring started beeping
last night?
Speaker 4 (16:33):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
It beeped twice, the ring itself. And I was like,
I mean he's dead. I don't know, And then I
went back to sleep.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
You didn't bother checking on him.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
I'm serious, fine, I mean I know he's fine. He
woke up this way.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
I did.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
I meant to ask, like, what does that mean?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
That the beeping, I've never heard it be. I don't know,
I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
It could be maybe it's low battery, could be that, right,
How do you charge you charge those things?
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Yeah, yeah, it comes with a little Maybe that's what
it was.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
I had was staying with my dad. This would have
been two or three years ago. Now you know, he
was alive and his started beeping right before he passed. No,
but an older friend of his, they've been buddy since
junior high, was there. Fred was there and at night
I heard an alarm going off, beep beep, beep, beep,
beep beep.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
And I couldn't figure out what it's like two in
the morning.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yeah, and it keeps going off, and I figure he
just had an alarm clock that he wasn't stopping or like.
He was a big snory guy, so he probably didn't
hear it. Goes off, goes off again, goes off, Like
every twenty minutes. This thing is going off, and I
go into his room, thinking the worst, and he's laying
(17:47):
in bed sleeping. I go, well, I'm not going to
bother him. And I can't figure out what's beeping. There's
no alarm clock. The next morning he went to the hospital.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Oh my god, that was his.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Diabetes alone arm going off, telling him his blood sugar
was so yeah, I don't do that.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
I didn't know that. That's I didn't know we had one.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I didn't know that was a thing.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
I didn't know. It was a like before you go
to bed.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Hey, if you guys hear an alarm in the middle
of the night, you know, wake me up and get
me some.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Orange juice or something.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
He did end up going to the hospital.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
It was like Julia Roberts in the salon and you
didn't get the juice.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Julia Roberts in the salon.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Get me some juice. Get me some juice. Mama, I
don't want to. You don't remember this part. Do not shlby.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Drink your juice. Drink your juice, Honey, just drink your juice.
I don't want to, mama. Very Magnolia's yeah, very important scene.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
How is Fred?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Have you called?
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Got a mystic pizza? I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Have you ever?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Have you checked up on Fred since your dad passed?
We interacted a little bit when I told him about
the memorial. He took it real hard, he was Yeah,
I was the one who called him when when dad died. Yeah,
that was an not and easy. It was probably one
of the harder conversations. Yeah, I mean none of them
are like, Hey, I got I got some news and
(19:06):
everybody knew it.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Was coming.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Like everybody knew that the next call you got from
us was going to be bad. I think one of
the things not to throw us off track. But we're
already off track. We'll get to your sex stuff later.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Is there a track?
Speaker 4 (19:18):
There is not, There is not a track.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
One of the things that spoke volumes about your dad
was that shortly after he passed, when you were at
the house and like, the propane guy, Oh, it's just
like a propane guy. You know. He wasn't a freid,
He wasn't somebody in your dad's life for forty fifty
years or whatever.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
He wasn't your aunt.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
He was the propane guy that would come out of
the house and refill the propane lost it like and
not just speaks volumes to who your dad was.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
That the propane guy was that affected well, and I
can imagine I'd seen it happen a couple of times.
But the propane guy rarely has to interact with anybody,
right he just rolls that tank on the side of
the house and on burls the hose and fills the tank.
So we didn't have her have to see anybody. But
my parents were the kind of people would be like, hey, Bob, right,
(20:11):
what's going on?
Speaker 4 (20:12):
How you doing doing a cup of coffee? You have
a lot of propane there. That's that's a lots of
big truck of prope.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
How much how much propene you got in that tank there?
How much? That's a lot?
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:26):
How long you been doing this?
Speaker 4 (20:27):
I mean, that's I can totally see her doing that
whole thing. Yeah, that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
How'd you get into it?
Speaker 4 (20:35):
How'd you get into the propane business?
Speaker 9 (20:38):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (20:38):
My god?
Speaker 3 (20:39):
All right, we'll come back and do the story.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Uber.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
New court records that were reviewed by The New York
Times showed that uber uber that is received reports of
sexual assault or misconduct in the United States almost every
eight minutes between twenty seventeen and twenty.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I know, every week, it seems like more frequently every day.
Every other day, there is some AI news who want
to bring to you chat GPT. The darling of AI
most recently is glitching. We'll talk about what that means. Also,
there is a new war being waged on AI.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Slop.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Don't get sloppy with us AI. We can get sloppy
on our own. We don't pay you for you to
do all of the work. It's getting better, It's getting
much better. I used AI to make myself a playlist
on Spotify this morning.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Nailed it. Nailed it.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
How did you do that?
Speaker 4 (21:54):
There was a I went to Spotify. There was a
brightly colored page that popped.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Up, and it said, we're distracted by shiny things.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Said, would you like AI something to the effective? Would
you like AI to make your playlist? Little chat bot
popped up? So what do you want to hear? I
put in a couple of words. It created a playlist.
Nailed what I the feeling I was looking for. That's
what I listened to. Nice knowing you, I know, I
knew you'd be disappointed. That's why I didn't share that
with you.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Give me a guess how many how many rides does
Uber provide every single day?
Speaker 8 (22:30):
Oh god, I have no idea. I'm really bad at
metrics like that. Twenty four million, billion, very close million, yeah,
twenty four million. They said in twenty twenty two they
averaged about twenty three million a day. As of right now,
it's up to about twenty eight million trips per day,
(22:53):
so that's just Uber.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
That doesn't include all the other correct.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Does include that's just Uber.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Uber in court records revealed that they received reports of
sexual assault or sexual misconduct in the United States nearly
every eight minutes between twenty seventeen and twenty twenty two. Now,
the obviously the popularity of Uber increased significantly over that
time from twenty seventeen to twenty two, so it's hard
(23:20):
to get exactly a right number. But if you were
to just say about twenty million a day, and you
had one hundred and eighty reports per day, because that's
what that works out to, fourteen hundred and forty minutes
in a day, divide bay you're talking about one two.
That's tens hundreds thousands, nine ten thousandths of a percent
(23:46):
of Uber rides have some sort of report of sexual
misconduct or sexual assault. This is part of a big,
huge case against Uber. If it was that widespread, we
would know somebody.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
That's an interesting way to look at it.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
I mean, everybody's got some story about a funny or
a crazy or disgusting or awkward thing that has happened
when you jump into a when you jump into a
stranger's car, that's just what happened. That just by just
by sheer chance, and like I said, twenty twenty five
(24:27):
million trips a day, you're going to have some absolutely
bonkers stories, and there are some that do rise to
the level of being sexual misconduct or sexual assault.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
But that.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
I don't know anybody.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I don't know anybody either, And I use it all
the time. I use it when I travel, I use
it for work travel on the routine. And I have
never heard this. My friends do.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
But also I'm not me and my friends were not
twenty four, you know. I mean, does your daughter use
it a lot?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I don't think I've ever heard her. I assume she has,
but I don't think i've ever and never alone. I
would say that. I just don't see her doing that.
If she's out with friends or something like that and
they go to a place and they have a couple
of pops, she's not going to go alone.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Right.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
UBER previously released their safety reports.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
They said that there were twelve thousand accounts of serious
sexual assaults of that same period, which includes a total
number of incidents in all categories, but the court papers
reviewed that it was more like four hundred thousand of
reports of sexual assault or misconduct in the five year span,
not twelve thousand, four hundred thousand, Now, what's there. I mean,
(25:44):
you're dealing for one thing of semantics here. Uber's going
to say, listen, just because somebody said something from the
front seat doesn't necessarily mean it's sexual misconduct. Somebody could
be offended in something that was never meant to be offensive, right, right,
We've all know those people. It's not assault, but leading
to an actual physical sexual assault is a very different thing.
(26:09):
Uber said roughly seventy five percent of those reports, the
four hundred thousand reports did involve less serious conduct that
could be flirting, right, flirting, that's their word. That could
be flirting, comments on appearance, or explicit language. The company
added that figures were an audited, meaning that they may
(26:30):
contain false or incorrect reports. Out of six point three
billion US trips over that same five year period, six
point three billion, Uber said the reports accounted for point
zero zero six percent of rides the most serious assaults,
making it point zero zero zero two percent of all riots.
(26:53):
We actually had done this, We've done that, haven't done
this in a couple of years, But we were doing
ride share nightmares. We know where are plenty of people
who drive for these ride share services, and we'd love
to hear the craziest things that's happened in your back
seat or it well.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
I don't know if I want to hear what's happened
in everyone's back seat or.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
If you were the one who jumped into the back
seat it's Monday. Did you do something crazy back there?
Speaker 4 (27:16):
You just got to work up to that.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Hey, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 9 (27:19):
Look, I've had a pretty good experience with Uber, very
pleasant driver. Nothing really to report there except for that
I had a ride where it was really tense just
in my head because I realized and through a conversation,
found out that my driver was a retired doctor. We
were in a Tesla, and all these things led me
(27:42):
to say.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
What happened in his portfolio that he's doing Uber.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Being a doctor is not as lucrative as it used
to be, and some people want something to do, especially
in retirement.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
There's a lot of people in retirement that pick it up.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
There was a guy, I think it was Nashville, who
was driving between jobs. He had a job early in
the morning. He didn't it was working construction. He wasn't
supposed to show up to his other job site until
like four in the afternoon, so he just picked us
up and drove us home from the.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
From a cafe.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yeah all right, let us know if you have some
rideshare nightmares. You can leave us a talkback message on
the iHeart app. Just hit that little button. That message
comes right in here.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Gary and Shannon will continue. You've been listening to the
Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
At the bottom of the hour, we're going to talk
more about this story that came out. Records showed that
Uber received reports of sexual misconduct every eight minutes for
about five years.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
That's how many of them there were.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
We're also taking your ride share nightmares if you are
a driver with the craziest things that have happened in
your backseat, or even if you are a ride share customer,
some of the crazy things you've had to deal with
with the drivers, because every once in a while they
get some crazy ones to slip through.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
There's some pictures that just came up from when we
were at the convention last year Chicago.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Who's this guy?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Did we make friends with the security guy at the
baseball game?
Speaker 3 (00:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Oh, remember there was something about him. He was doing
something and you asked him for something and then he
got moved out of the Oh right.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
None of them like kicked out. Who are these people
we took a picture with?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Those are just the guys that were in front of us,
and then.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
We were best friends with them.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
By the end of the night, cool, cool, funny, how
fuzzy it was from just Fuzzy.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Hi there, Janet from Victorville just wanted to say, it
was so fun listening to you guys open up that
Hello Kitty package. It just brought me so much joy
to hear your guys is joy. I wanted to know
if Shannon remembered the smell of that Hello Kitty store
when you walked total. It was just like a little
girl's dream. And the gum that was my favorite part.
(01:35):
That brick of gum had four little squares white chalky day.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Yes, I forgot about the gum.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah, that store was like the Maca, Like that was
the coolest thing in San Francisco.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I don't know the gum.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Well, you weren't a little girl. You weren't a Night
eight or little girl. But yeah, and I didn't know
that Igloo partnered up with them. They had a collab
with Hello Kitty and their products are amazingly cool.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
You guys tiptoe up to the line when you start
talking about certain subjects and I start to get nervous
for you guys. I'm thinking, is this what's going to
get him suspended? Is this what's going to get him
in trouble. It's still funny as hell though, but you
guys make nervous someday.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
My aunt mary Anne came up to hang out on Saturday.
I went kayaking and paddle boarding, and she said that
one of her friends said that there was.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Kind of bought into the whole getting suspended.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Thing, and my aunt's like she was in Yellowstone, like
she wasn't suspended.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
What an awful suspend.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
He could tell though, that there was a difference in
the tenor of the show that after we got suspended,
that we were we were a little bit.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
More tame, all right.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
So Friday afternoon, Gavin Newsom got into this fight between
the Trump administration and college campuses, specific UCLA. The morning
of July twenty ninth, so just a couple of weeks ago,
UCLA had announced that it was settling a federal lawsuit
with students who had accused it of discrimination. They were
(03:12):
going to pay out more than two million dollars to
Jewish civil rights groups and millions more in legal fees.
They said that this was real action, because it was
real progress in dealing with anti Semitism on campus. Then
they sent a nice note card probably not to the
Trump administration and said, see, we're making progress, we're doing
(03:37):
good things here. We don't like anti semites marauding through
our campus.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
And would they have stayed under the radar had they
not done that, because it seems like once they pointed
the Trump administration to the settlement of look we've done something,
that's when the you know, all of the attention landed
on UCLA and they and the administration went after them.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Today.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
By the way, there is an emergency meeting of the
UC Board of Regents on tomorrow. There's going to be
a federal court hearing in a pre existing case that could.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Result in some UC grants being restored.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
But Friday afternoon, Gaven Newsom got into all of this
that there was a demand from the Trump administration that
the University of California pay a one billion dollar fine
over a bunch of different allegations against UCLA. Specifically, the
anti semitism on campus was part of it, but also
(04:33):
illegal use of race and admissions and policies that allow
transgender athletes to compete according to their gender identity. Gavin
Newsoms wrote, he has threatened us through extortion. He being
Trump through extortion with a billion dollar fine. Unless we
do his bidding, we will not be complicit in this
kind of attack on academic freedom on this extraordinary public institution.
(04:59):
There's a couple of things going on here. Number one,
this is a public university. It's different than what we
saw the fights that were going on with say Harvard
and Columbia and Brown, because.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
There's some private schools.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
And this governor sort of the de facto head of
the University of California system anyway, just based on his position.
He's taking on this mantle because he wants to be
seen as a champion for the downtrodden, or in this case,
a champion for people who are willing to pay seventy
or eighty thousand dollars in order to go to UCLA,
(05:32):
which is fine. Like, I don't I don't fault him
for that. I think that this is probably a legitimate fight.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Well, he pays seventy thousand dollars upwards, I think for
his child to go to Brandson.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
So that's also a very important desk.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Seventh grade education should cost you seventy five grand a year, right, what.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Are what you're four year college education was? But so
I don't fault him for getting into this fight. He's
perfectly in the right position to do so. But don't
make any mistake about what this guy's plans are. This
is not just a fight for what did he say,
the academic freedom for this extraordinary public institution. This is
(06:13):
him grabbing the spotlight and shining it directly onto his
spray tan face and saying, I mean, I know it's
ironic to say that versus Donald Trump, but he is saying,
I am the guy who will take on the guy.
He is setting this up as a way to get
(06:34):
into the twenty twenty eight presidential race. Before he gets
into the twenty twenty eight president.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
He's been in that race for a couple of years now.
He's just slimed his way in, you know, hair grace.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
And slid his way. All right, We've got an update
on the water situation.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Apparently it has been restored in Grenada Hills, but boil
water notice is still in place.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
Are people boiling water? You just see that? You're like, Okay,
I would would you?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Yeah, I would.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I boil all my water most of the time anyway, Right,
I was gonna say, but you're a boil water guy.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
It's what I do.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Do you know who else is making comeback? Not that
Hello Kitty ever left us, but Strawberry Shortcake. I keep
seeing Strawberry Shortcake on backpacks and stuff. I love Strawberry
Shortcake and Rainbow Bright too. Know what rainbow You don't
know what Rainbow Bright is?
Speaker 4 (07:36):
Oh boy?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Well, did you know that Ernie Banks held the record
single season record with five Grand slams in nineteen fifty five?
It was broken, It stood until nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Who did it in nineteen eighty seven? George Brett?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Oh look at you at the Kansas City Royals love.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Uh eighty seven? Six Grand slams in one season?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Yeah, think think quintessential nineteen eighty seven. A player even
I could name, not Darryl Strawberry, but from the East Coast,
Dawn Maddingly. Oh okay, yeah, like yes, that totally nineteen.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
Holy moly, let's play two Ernie Banks on the Cubs.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Yeah, let's play too. Beers from Chicago.
Speaker 8 (08:30):
Boy, god bless you, boy, oh god bless.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Let's play too was a famous Ernie Banks quote because
he was so excited to play a double header.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Let's play too.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Last week I ran into somebody who knows people who
work for our company worked for iHeart in Chicago, and
he said he'd been in that iHeart building.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
We did the show there ye one day.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
A building with all the windows.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
And that view were on the third Oh my god,
you could see the lake.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
That was a gorgeous that office. That was like right
kitty corner to where we are. The sun come in.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Oh, it was so great.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
That was so nice.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
That was so nice to go.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
From there straight to O'Hare Airport. I did you went
somewhere else? I had a game time you took off
to go somewhere else. Yeah, we could see the Burbank
Nature Park from our window.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
You have.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
The Burbank Nature crass uh stuck stuck in your cra
the Bourbank Nature Park. And every day I think, you
know what, I'm going to take a look at that
nature park because what it is it's an empty lot.
And Gary cannot stop talking about the misuse of this
block of land. It is a corner parcel of land
(09:47):
and it is called the the Burbank Nature Park. Allisuedly
there's some sign as you've seen there. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
it's just covered in bark, and there's a couple of benches.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Would you say the bench?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I'm not even sure if I notice.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
It's a pretty lucrative piece of land that to just
have people taking their dogs to take a crap in
the morning, right yep? Or in the afternoon or whenever
your dog sees fit. What would you like to do?
Would you like it to be an actual nature park?
Would you like to go plant trees? I mean we
could get something going. What if you just put pickleball
courts out there?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Pickleball court?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Pickleball court.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
That's a pretty.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Busy intersection there, so yeah, I mean where would people park?
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Is what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
There's a spot where California Street was blocked off. You
could easily fit eighteen twenty cars on that little strip
right there.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Okay, sorry, I get it. Sorry?
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Would you go play pickleball? Totally?
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Really?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Do you play pickleball?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
I have you have the stuff? I do have the stuff?
Speaker 4 (10:47):
Oh you have the stuff? Yeah, I'd like to play pickleball.
How can we never play pickleball? Can you find a
place around here we go play? After work? Okay?
Speaker 1 (10:58):
I mean, it's the summer. It's all I don't care.
Eric's got a place. Oh okay around here.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Okay, that's close. Will you play with us? No, you
got a job. You gotta work here.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
He's getting married.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Water service has been restored to our friends and customers
in Granada Hills and Porter Ranch. But but, but, big, one,
big butt, big, but you must continue to boil your water.
DWP said service was fully restored as of about two
thirty this morning, just before two thirty, and a boil
water notice is going to be in effect.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
You can use the water.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
You can use the water for showering, for flushing, for
all the outside your body stuff, but probably not for
toothbrushing or drinking or cooking. Just as as yet, boil
it before you do those things with it.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
You know, there's people that are going to be like,
I'm not gonna brush my teeth today. Yes, you know,
like you're you're looking for an excuse. You're like, nah,
it's a whole boil water thing. I'll brush my teeth
next week. Don't let this stop you.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I don't think that's I think you're going to say.
They're going to just use the waters.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
The boil water.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
So they need to do two water quality tests and
each one is still eighteen hour round. The same people
who broke the valve in the first place, right, But
I'm sorry they didn't break it.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
They found that it was broken.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
They need to complete two eighteen hour rounds of water
quality testing before they'll confirm that the water is safe.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
So good luck. They're still passing out waters.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
By the way, Ernie Banks was the first African American
player for the Chicago Cubs. They viewed September seventeenth, nineteen
fifty three. September seventeenth, the big day for baseball. I
was singing about October seventeenth. I was singing about the earthquake.
Is that the seventeenth?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yes? Got it?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
But yeah, nineteen fifty eight and fifty nine, Ernie Banks
the first player in the NL to in consecutive MVP awards.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I knew that part. I didn't realize it was the
first black player for the Coast.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I did not know that either, because that seems like
it before was when Jackie Robinson broke.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
The conference fifty six years later. Slow up. Next, the
sex report.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
The sex report, well specifically uber sex report, and it's
not as sexy as you think it's not.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
A sex report when it's assault. Bro Okay, let me
rephrase that.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
The sexual misconduct report for uber Gary and Shannon will
continue like what I call.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
It sex training and it's sexual harassment training.
Speaker 7 (13:37):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM.
Six forty.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
American officials trying to finalize some of our details between
of the summit between Presidents Trump and Putin. It's supposed
to be play take place in Alaska, but there are
still some logistical and geopolitical issues that are still unsled.
Four days ahead of this thing. We do not have
a venue, at least not one that has been has
(14:06):
been announced. Official still trying to figure out the I
love it when they talk about this. They're still trying
to figure out the contours of the discussion. President said
he hopes it can yield some significant progress towards ending
the war in Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Saw an article about ozempic. This was in the New
York Post.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Ozempic users aged backwards by more than three years in
a new trial, not only did you drop pounds, but
turned back the time. This was the first trial to
directly measure the impact of some glue tide on aging.
Half the participants were given a weekly injection of ozempic,
the other half received a placebo for thirty two weeks.
(14:46):
Those on semi glue tide on average became three point
one years biologically younger by the end of the study.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
How do they jet, Well, I don't know, my little mind.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
They measure chronic chronological age. They use metabolism, inflammation, and
organ function. Researchers note that the anti aging effects of
GLP one varied across the body's systems. The most dramatic
improvements were to the brain and an inflammatory system, where
(15:21):
the drug appeared to delay biological aging by five years.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
Significant improvement in the heart and kidneys.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Also, when you lose weight like that, you feel younger,
you act younger, Your brain.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Is going to tell you you're younger.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
It's I don't I don't like the stories that we
do about this because they give all the credit to
the drug. The drug is doing something. Yes, it's suppressing
the appetite. They're not even quite sure exactly how it's working.
But the majority of those benefits that are coming from
it are because of the lost weight. Yeah, not because
the medicine is changing your body. It's the losing of
(15:57):
the right changing.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Exactly like you've known people that have lost weight before
some my glue tides hit the market, and that's what
you've seen.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
They look younger, they act younger, all of it. And
so I mean that's great. Oh, I mean no.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Matter how you get there. My little ring thing here
tells me what my cardiovascular age is. And then it's
it's one hundred and four. No, it's it's twelve years
younger than my actual age.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Well, you you do cardio, you walk, you run, you
do all the things. My husband's aura ring started beeping
last night?
Speaker 4 (16:33):
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
It beeped twice, the ring itself. And I was like,
I mean he's dead. I don't know, And then I
went back to sleep.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
You didn't bother checking on him.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
I'm serious, fine, I mean I know he's fine. He
woke up this way.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
I did.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
I meant to ask, like, what does that mean?
Speaker 3 (16:53):
That the beeping, I've never heard it be. I don't know,
I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
It could be maybe it's low battery, could be that, right,
How do you charge you charge those things?
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Yeah, yeah, it comes with a little Maybe that's what
it was.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
I had was staying with my dad. This would have
been two or three years ago. Now you know, he
was alive and his started beeping right before he passed. No,
but an older friend of his, they've been buddy since
junior high, was there. Fred was there and at night
I heard an alarm going off, beep beep, beep, beep,
beep beep.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
And I couldn't figure out what it's like two in
the morning.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Yeah, and it keeps going off, and I figure he
just had an alarm clock that he wasn't stopping or like.
He was a big snory guy, so he probably didn't
hear it. Goes off, goes off again, goes off, Like
every twenty minutes. This thing is going off, and I
go into his room, thinking the worst, and he's laying
(17:47):
in bed sleeping. I go, well, I'm not going to
bother him. And I can't figure out what's beeping. There's
no alarm clock. The next morning he went to the hospital.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Oh my god, that was his.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Diabetes alone arm going off, telling him his blood sugar
was so yeah, I don't do that.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
I didn't know that. That's I didn't know we had one.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I didn't know that was a thing.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
I didn't know. It was a like before you go
to bed.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Hey, if you guys hear an alarm in the middle
of the night, you know, wake me up and get
me some.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Orange juice or something.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
He did end up going to the hospital.
Speaker 4 (18:18):
It was like Julia Roberts in the salon and you
didn't get the juice.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Julia Roberts in the salon.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Get me some juice. Get me some juice. Mama, I
don't want to. You don't remember this part. Do not shlby.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Drink your juice. Drink your juice, Honey, just drink your juice.
I don't want to, mama. Very Magnolia's yeah, very important scene.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
How is Fred?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Have you called?
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Got a mystic pizza? I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Have you ever?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Have you checked up on Fred since your dad passed?
We interacted a little bit when I told him about
the memorial. He took it real hard, he was Yeah,
I was the one who called him when when dad died. Yeah,
that was an not and easy. It was probably one
of the harder conversations. Yeah, I mean none of them
are like, Hey, I got I got some news and
(19:06):
everybody knew it.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Was coming.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Like everybody knew that the next call you got from
us was going to be bad. I think one of
the things not to throw us off track. But we're
already off track. We'll get to your sex stuff later.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Is there a track?
Speaker 4 (19:18):
There is not, There is not a track.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
One of the things that spoke volumes about your dad
was that shortly after he passed, when you were at
the house and like, the propane guy, Oh, it's just
like a propane guy. You know. He wasn't a freid,
He wasn't somebody in your dad's life for forty fifty
years or whatever.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
He wasn't your aunt.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
He was the propane guy that would come out of
the house and refill the propane lost it like and
not just speaks volumes to who your dad was.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
That the propane guy was that affected well, and I
can imagine I'd seen it happen a couple of times.
But the propane guy rarely has to interact with anybody,
right he just rolls that tank on the side of
the house and on burls the hose and fills the tank.
So we didn't have her have to see anybody. But
my parents were the kind of people would be like, hey, Bob, right,
(20:11):
what's going on?
Speaker 4 (20:12):
How you doing doing a cup of coffee? You have
a lot of propane there. That's that's a lots of
big truck of prope.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
How much how much propene you got in that tank there?
How much? That's a lot?
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:26):
How long you been doing this?
Speaker 4 (20:27):
I mean, that's I can totally see her doing that
whole thing. Yeah, that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
How'd you get into it?
Speaker 4 (20:35):
How'd you get into the propane business?
Speaker 9 (20:38):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (20:38):
My god?
Speaker 3 (20:39):
All right, we'll come back and do the story.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Uber.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
New court records that were reviewed by The New York
Times showed that uber uber that is received reports of
sexual assault or misconduct in the United States almost every
eight minutes between twenty seventeen and twenty.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I know, every week, it seems like more frequently every day.
Every other day, there is some AI news who want
to bring to you chat GPT. The darling of AI
most recently is glitching. We'll talk about what that means. Also,
there is a new war being waged on AI.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
Slop.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Don't get sloppy with us AI. We can get sloppy
on our own. We don't pay you for you to
do all of the work. It's getting better, It's getting
much better. I used AI to make myself a playlist
on Spotify this morning.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Nailed it. Nailed it.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
How did you do that?
Speaker 4 (21:54):
There was a I went to Spotify. There was a
brightly colored page that popped.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Up, and it said, we're distracted by shiny things.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Said, would you like AI something to the effective? Would
you like AI to make your playlist? Little chat bot
popped up? So what do you want to hear? I
put in a couple of words. It created a playlist.
Nailed what I the feeling I was looking for. That's
what I listened to. Nice knowing you, I know, I
knew you'd be disappointed. That's why I didn't share that
with you.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Give me a guess how many how many rides does
Uber provide every single day?
Speaker 8 (22:30):
Oh god, I have no idea. I'm really bad at
metrics like that. Twenty four million, billion, very close million, yeah,
twenty four million. They said in twenty twenty two they
averaged about twenty three million a day. As of right now,
it's up to about twenty eight million trips per day,
(22:53):
so that's just Uber.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
That doesn't include all the other correct.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Does include that's just Uber.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Uber in court records revealed that they received reports of
sexual assault or sexual misconduct in the United States nearly
every eight minutes between twenty seventeen and twenty twenty two. Now,
the obviously the popularity of Uber increased significantly over that
time from twenty seventeen to twenty two, so it's hard
(23:20):
to get exactly a right number. But if you were
to just say about twenty million a day, and you
had one hundred and eighty reports per day, because that's
what that works out to, fourteen hundred and forty minutes
in a day, divide bay you're talking about one two.
That's tens hundreds thousands, nine ten thousandths of a percent
(23:46):
of Uber rides have some sort of report of sexual
misconduct or sexual assault. This is part of a big,
huge case against Uber. If it was that widespread, we
would know somebody.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
That's an interesting way to look at it.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
I mean, everybody's got some story about a funny or
a crazy or disgusting or awkward thing that has happened
when you jump into a when you jump into a
stranger's car, that's just what happened. That just by just
by sheer chance, and like I said, twenty twenty five
(24:27):
million trips a day, you're going to have some absolutely
bonkers stories, and there are some that do rise to
the level of being sexual misconduct or sexual assault.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
But that.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
I don't know anybody.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I don't know anybody either, And I use it all
the time. I use it when I travel, I use
it for work travel on the routine. And I have
never heard this. My friends do.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
But also I'm not me and my friends were not
twenty four, you know. I mean, does your daughter use
it a lot?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I don't think I've ever heard her. I assume she has,
but I don't think i've ever and never alone. I
would say that. I just don't see her doing that.
If she's out with friends or something like that and
they go to a place and they have a couple
of pops, she's not going to go alone.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Right.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
UBER previously released their safety reports.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
They said that there were twelve thousand accounts of serious
sexual assaults of that same period, which includes a total
number of incidents in all categories, but the court papers
reviewed that it was more like four hundred thousand of
reports of sexual assault or misconduct in the five year span,
not twelve thousand, four hundred thousand, Now, what's there. I mean,
(25:44):
you're dealing for one thing of semantics here. Uber's going
to say, listen, just because somebody said something from the
front seat doesn't necessarily mean it's sexual misconduct. Somebody could
be offended in something that was never meant to be offensive, right, right,
We've all know those people. It's not assault, but leading
to an actual physical sexual assault is a very different thing.
(26:09):
Uber said roughly seventy five percent of those reports, the
four hundred thousand reports did involve less serious conduct that
could be flirting, right, flirting, that's their word. That could
be flirting, comments on appearance, or explicit language. The company
added that figures were an audited, meaning that they may
(26:30):
contain false or incorrect reports. Out of six point three
billion US trips over that same five year period, six
point three billion, Uber said the reports accounted for point
zero zero six percent of rides the most serious assaults,
making it point zero zero zero two percent of all riots.
(26:53):
We actually had done this, We've done that, haven't done
this in a couple of years, But we were doing
ride share nightmares. We know where are plenty of people
who drive for these ride share services, and we'd love
to hear the craziest things that's happened in your back
seat or it well.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
I don't know if I want to hear what's happened
in everyone's back seat or.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
If you were the one who jumped into the back
seat it's Monday. Did you do something crazy back there?
Speaker 4 (27:16):
You just got to work up to that.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Hey, Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 9 (27:19):
Look, I've had a pretty good experience with Uber, very
pleasant driver. Nothing really to report there except for that
I had a ride where it was really tense just
in my head because I realized and through a conversation,
found out that my driver was a retired doctor. We
were in a Tesla, and all these things led me
(27:42):
to say.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
What happened in his portfolio that he's doing Uber.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Being a doctor is not as lucrative as it used
to be, and some people want something to do, especially
in retirement.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
There's a lot of people in retirement that pick it up.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
There was a guy, I think it was Nashville, who
was driving between jobs. He had a job early in
the morning. He didn't it was working construction. He wasn't
supposed to show up to his other job site until
like four in the afternoon, so he just picked us
up and drove us home from the.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
From a cafe.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yeah all right, let us know if you have some
rideshare nightmares. You can leave us a talkback message on
the iHeart app. Just hit that little button. That message
comes right in here.
