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

Speaker 2 (00:06):
On the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
If I think Tom Brady got to do the Affair
in Vegas joke, because he's Tom Brady, he was the
only one that really touched that. I mean, Kevin Hart's
wife is sitting there in the front row. It's a
little awkward.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
I also listen, by the way, last night on Netflix,
as part of the Netflix as a Joke Festival, they
did a live roast of comedian Kevin Hart.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
It was great. It was brutal.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
I will not recommend it for anybody who has a
hangnail of fear that they're going to be offended, because
I guarantee you if you think it going into that,
you're going to be offended multiple times. But if you're like, hey,
let it burn, let's see what we can get away
with now, highly entertaining.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
It's a throwback. It is a throwback.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
I mentioned this morning, I asked if you had ever
seen those Dean Martin roasts.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, those are great.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Those they came from a time there was a time
when people didn't get offended at everything that you launched
at them, especially if you knew that person cared deeply
for you.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Well, I think a lot of it was everything was
still swept under the rug at the time of the
Dean Martin roasts. You didn't talk about all of the
brutal things in this country's history, the way that we
have been seeped in them.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
In the past two decades. Sure that I've been paying attention,
you know.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
And so everyone brought that out, and everyone got a
chance to be offended by all of the things. And
now we've we spread around guilt, generational guilt, multi generational guilt,
and now maybe we can go back to offending being
a fend. And the thing is, it's not just racial

(02:02):
jokes and sexuality jokes.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Everything's on the table. Chelsea Handler's sex partners are on
the table, you know, people's age, people's weight, It's all
back on the table, folks. That's what I got. That's
what I took away from this roast.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
There was an ironic thing happening last night also because
this was at the Key of Forum right in Inglewood,
just across the parking lot over at the end to
it Dome. Nate Bargatzy had two different shows had two shows.
You talk about two wildly different tracks. When it comes
to what comedy is these days, Nate Bargatzy would not
have been caught dead. I don't think that in that room,

(02:43):
just because that's not his style of comedy. But Tom Brady,
who got a lot of kudo kudos. Tom Brady was
the subject of the last roast that did so well
for Netflix.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
It was a great roast because it's so easy to
make fun of Tom Brady and what.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
The hell does he care?

Speaker 1 (03:02):
He's got five MVP rings from the super Bowl on
his hand, seven super Bowl wins. You know, if there's
somebody who can take it, if somebody who's got enough
money to take all the jokes in the world, it's
Tom Brady. And that's why it was the perfect first
guy to go into this, like all bets are off,
it's all on the table.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Whatever you want to say about this guy, go do it.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
He was the perfect first guy to do it because
he's unoffendable.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Kevin Hart comes out and was referencing Tom Brady, like
where's he. I'm gonna My show's going to be so
much better than his, And then of course tom Brady
walks out and he stands eighteen inches taller. It seems
like than Kevin Hart does even left the forum. Or
have you just been here screaming into that mic the
last two years waiting for daddy to come home.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Well, unlike your real dad, I actually showed up.

Speaker 5 (03:53):
Oh you son of a snip, You son of.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
A snip, and I brought you a jersey man.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
He sun. It's like a little baby.

Speaker 6 (04:02):
Yeah, g I sit down, hobbit.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
So, I mean he was.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
I'm glad he went first because you didn't know what
to expect, right, and it was fine. But it's an
athlete trying to be funny. All the jokes are written
for him and all of that. But then it was
comic after comic that got up, not just to roast
Kevin Hart, but other comics, their peer group that's sitting
on the stage. My god, comics. Going after comics was

(04:34):
a treat.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
I tried to find some of this stuff. There's some
of it.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
It's not even worth pulling the audio could not have
to put the sensors in it. For example, Tony Hinecliff,
known for the Kill Tony podcast. He's an Austin based comedian.
He is brutal and was This was probably the most
common target. He and Chelsea Handler.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Went after him for being a Trump supporter, and so
they called him a slave owner, like it was him
and Shane Gillis right who was hosting? Who apparently doesn't
they don't even really it's Kevin Hart and Shane Gillis.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Aren't you know friends or whatever?

Speaker 1 (05:15):
They don't go back a million years like a lot
of the people in the stage. But there were some
Netflix people because kill Tony has a Netflix special. Pete
Davidson is involved with Netflix. Shane gillis involved with Netflix,
so some of these people weren't just Kevin Hart's people,
they were Netflix's people that they squeezed into it, which

(05:36):
made it fun too.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
Draymond Green was on the stage. A lot of questions
as to why, but he got up there and obviously
he's not a comedian and he acknowledged right up front.
They wrote these jokes for me. This one the bomb
of the not the bomb in a good way killed.

Speaker 7 (05:55):
I never have and never will smash Chelsea Haler, I'm
Dreimonhard Green, I don't hit threes.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
That was one where.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
I was like, oh, Like, there was a lot of
moments like that, but I assume they're friends, Kevin Hart
and Draymond Green.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
The Draymond Green jokes were great too. Jeff Curry couldn't
make it, but he carried Draymond Green.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yes, yes, so good.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
And then the one moment that I think guts gets
lost is right half probably halfway through this. It gets
lost because everybody's laughing and they're all having a good
time and making fun of John Stamos and the audience
or whoever I mean. But this was Sheryl Underwood, who
was also the subject of some of the most awful,
most awful, uncomfortable, unapologetically rude comments, and she was laughing

(06:47):
the whole time.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
So when she got up and I want.

Speaker 8 (06:50):
To thank net Flix and Kevin Haut for bringing us
all together freedom my speech is.

Speaker 5 (06:57):
A lot today.

Speaker 8 (07:00):
Oh that we can all come together and Craig jokes
on each other and Snail respects each of them.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, now she's you know, she's a lifelong Republican.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
I didn't know that. Found that out last night during
that show. I think she voted for Obama on the
second term. But other than that, but there was a
little and that's the thing. There was a little bit
of politics against Tony Hendricliff because he's a Trump supporter.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
But other than that, guys, thankfully.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Politics free, just vicious, vicious barbs. If you like to
not be offended, watch the roast. If you like to
be offended, go wash your hands and get ready for
hauntavirus or something. I don't know what you do if
you get offendities.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
Pull the box of masks out of the basement.

Speaker 6 (07:49):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
There was a movie called Kiss Meets the Phantom of
the Park from back in eighties maybe no seventies, had
to be seventies, where Kiss, Yes, the band saves an
amusement park from a mad scientist something like that. There

(08:17):
is a bomb threat that was apparently called into Magic
Mountain up in Valencia, and as of right now they
are investigating about seven fifty four this morning, the La
County Sheriff's Department said a threat indicated that the bomb
was allegedly placed at a specific location within the park.
Not clear exactly where that was or if the threat

(08:40):
is credible. Chances are it's not, but they will be.
The park was scheduled to open it at about ten
thirty and as of right now, they are still closed.
So if you're headed to Magic Mountain, just be aware
that it's going to be a while before you get in.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Are we talking about mayors?

Speaker 3 (08:57):
We are, But first we're going to give away a
thousand bucks.

Speaker 6 (09:00):
Oh now, it's your opportunity to win one thousand dollars.
Just enter the nationwide keyword on our website.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
Media that's media M E D I A.

Speaker 6 (09:10):
Entering now at KF I AM six forty dot com.
Slash cash brought to you by Sweet James Accident Attorney's
office in Los Angeles, California and Sweet James dot Com.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
What I just I didn't see your water and I
was worried about your hydration, and then I thought, never,
this is unnecessary.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
You have your water bottle, it's great. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
Do I need to check in with you every morning?

Speaker 8 (09:34):
No?

Speaker 1 (09:34):
No, I just knew that your wife was out of town,
so I didn't know if you were, you know, feeding yourself,
getting yourself water like I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
So I was just making sure you had left.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
The ball out for me at home.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
I know, but that was like two days ago.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
Yeah, probably clean that out.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
You know what I mean when you leave your pets
a little.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Extra media is the keyword that goes on the website,
and an hour from now, we'll give you another shot
at winning one thousand bucks. Well, look last week's debate
between the mayoral candidates Nythia Rahman, Spencer Pratt, and Karen Bass.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
Did I mean pretty well? For Spencer Pratt?

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Probably, I think a lot of people would argue better
than was expected, and he has received a certain amount
of bump as a result of that. He was doing
some weekend interviews. I saw him sit down with Conan
Nolan on the NBC Sunday Show.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
So I have a quick question.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
This headline in the New York Post as Karen Bass
slammed for pulling out a key debate after Spencer Pratt's success.
He's not going to be in the next debate, So
what does it matter that she's not going to be
in there?

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Listen, I'm if I'm Marla over at Fox and the
people at Fox that would have been working to put
this debate together. I'm pissed, Yeah, because this is this
is arguably I don't know, I know part of it
is because we're here, but this is one of those
nationally watched races because of the inclusion of Spencer Pratt

(11:08):
and because of the very high profile nature. Why the
hell Iiyers that are looming over this, But.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Why the hell would Karen Basq go if Spencer Pratt's
not going to be there? Because Karen bass is running
away with this thing. On one side, she's at forty
nine percent. Nathia Raminstan's no chance. So if he's not
going to be there, why would she show up to
debate people that are also Democrats that are just there
to tear her down. There's no there's no good reason

(11:34):
for her to go to that. If Spencer Pratt was
going to be there, then that's who she's going to
be facing off with. That's who you want to fight, right,
I'm not going to show up to a fight to
do a bunch of undercard people.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
That makes sense. Yeah, I'm making a boxing reference and
I don't know boxing.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Enough, but you know what I mean, She's not going
to show up to fight a bunch of lower weight
people sure that don't even deserve to be on the stage.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Frankly, so that.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Leaves Nythia Rahmen, Adam Miller, and Ray Wang that's it.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Yeah, nobody's going to pay attention to that. That should
be called off. Fox should just drop it. What's the
point of it, you know, it's not a mayor old
debate if Spencer Pratt and Karen Bass are not going
to be there. Yeah, I mean, Nythia Robbins at seventeen percent,
and that's I think generous.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
You know what's funny is there's something to this. I mean,
and like you said, she doesn't really necessarily stand to
gain anything if Spencer Pratt's not there, she could potentially
lose some votes to these other Democratic candidates. Mike Bonnan
actually leads the Pat Brown Institute that was going to
host this. Former city counselan to Mike Bonnon, he said

(12:42):
that Karen Bass was the first candidate to confirm her
attendance and put her commitment in writing three weeks ago,
and everybody agreed to this date and worked their calendars
around her, and now she's not even going.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
To be well.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Pratt pulled out though if he's not going to be well,
I don't know if he pulled out her never committed
to assume that he would be there. Probably, Yeah, but
there's no reason for her to go all right, coming
up next, we'll check in. Yeah, oh all right. Are
you going to tell everyone what you told.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
Amy King that today's a speedo day?

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (13:15):
No, wildly inappropriate, inappropriate to tell Amy King you're wearing
a speedo today.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
Oh, I didn't say I was going to I just
said today is a speedo day. I'm sure there are
plenty of people. I've been to Palm Springs, Hey on Friday,
May twenty second. That's coming up. We are going to
be live at Bravery Brewing in Lancaster for another News
and bruise.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
I think we should give him a trophy or something
like that. So we determined that this is our sixth
or seventh time I've up there.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
We're going to be a Bravery Brewing in Lancaster to
help kick off Memorial Day weekend, and we would love
it if you're there. We'll obviously do the show live
from nine to noon. Stick around for a little bit
after that. We're going to do the record the podcast
there in front of everybody. We need your help in
doing that.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
I would argue that Bart feels that there's no greater
trophy than Gary Hoffman and Espeedo at Bravery brewing to
signal the start of summer.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
I would also say he will not allow that. Why
do you think that, I just.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
I have it on good authority, he would.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
I do not think he will. But thank you for that.
I'm not ready for that.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
You're not ready for I get that. I get that.
My legs aren't ready either. Gary and Shit, it will continue.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
I ain't my legs.

Speaker 5 (14:32):
I'm worried about.

Speaker 6 (14:34):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Oh my gosh, I can't wait to start thinking about names.
But you got Oh do you know what we're talking about?

Speaker 5 (14:51):
No kind of guessing?

Speaker 3 (14:52):
Okay, good, Yeah, we'll get started.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
We'll get started on it always going on.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
We're repatriating everybody from that cruise ship that was hit
by the or hantavirus outbreak. Do not worry, everybody, They're
going to Nebraska. Peace and stability will be on the
menu when President Trump and Chinese President Shijin Ping need
in Beijing on Thursday, and abortion's back in the news.
The widely used abortion medication myth of pristone that fate

(15:24):
is now in the hands of the Supreme Court. They're
deciding whether to keep nationwide access in place.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
I haven't heard that many abortion jokes in a long time.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
That we heard from my creative creative abortion jokes.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
All right, if there can be I'll stop. What are
we doing.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Naming Elmer's baby, right, let's go back to that.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
That's safe.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Yeah, what you get, Well, there's Elmer that could be
you know, we could start that chain going Elmer. You'd
be Elmer Senior and this would be Elmer Junior.

Speaker 5 (16:07):
I don't wanna. I don't want him to do with
all of the.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
But don't you feel like it's part of what's made
you so strong?

Speaker 5 (16:15):
Wait?

Speaker 4 (16:16):
All of the what oh like.

Speaker 5 (16:17):
All the teasing, the name calling as a kid.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Oh yeah, Elmer's glue and all that. And he was
named after a clown named Elmer. Yeah, like Flavia was like,
I like that clown. I named my baby after that clown.

Speaker 5 (16:30):
Who has a favorite clown?

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Who has a favorite clown?

Speaker 5 (16:32):
She did?

Speaker 2 (16:33):
I love that about her?

Speaker 5 (16:34):
Yeah, Elmer.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
I didn't realize that this was the cause of consternation
in your young life.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Well, his name is.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
Elmer, I know, but that's a girl. I love that name.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
I do too, But when you're seven, it's tough.

Speaker 5 (16:45):
It was they.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Would who made fun of you the most. You know,
there's a name that came straight to your head. I
could see it in your face.

Speaker 9 (16:55):
What was his name?

Speaker 2 (16:55):
What was her name? I think it was the whole class.

Speaker 7 (16:58):
Yeah, I was gonna say it was pretty much much.
At least three to four people every.

Speaker 5 (17:03):
Year, every grade. Yeah, I remember Douglas. Doug Douglas was
the worst.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Douglas. Where is he now?

Speaker 5 (17:10):
I don't know, Well, hopefully bad Doug.

Speaker 4 (17:12):
His name is Doug. Yeah, he has a past tense verb.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
By the top of the hour, you know, I will.

Speaker 7 (17:19):
Yeah, if I ever ever see Doug again, I will.
I will fight him on the spot. I'm a big
boy now with big muscles.

Speaker 5 (17:29):
You can't bring me down.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
You can't, Douglas, You cannot.

Speaker 5 (17:32):
He did have like a six pack in high school.
It made no sense. How do you know. We were
in the wrestling team together and.

Speaker 7 (17:41):
He, oh oh, he would always beat me.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Don't you supposed to wear a singlet? Yeah, but he
would just that was optional.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
You can see abs through that.

Speaker 5 (17:52):
Yeah, Gary, I don't know. I've not a big that's fair.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
It goes down, goes down here.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
It's not a deep cut.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yeah, it's pretty deep.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
What did it cover your nipples?

Speaker 5 (18:05):
Yeah? I mean the single itt did it's like a one.
It's like a one.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
I mean barely though, or did you wear a T
shirt underneath it? Or short?

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Do not wear a T shirt underneath it?

Speaker 5 (18:15):
You're pretty much naked? Maybe you have undies, but like something.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
Always look so uncomfortable because it is like a onesie
for dudes and then you're you're junk is like, yeah,
it seems like it's stressed out the whole time you're
wearing that thing, just stressed out.

Speaker 5 (18:30):
Yeah, it's really tight.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
You can think of a better term.

Speaker 5 (18:34):
It's a good terms.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
That was complimenting you on that.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Poetic ways to put that, Like why not just wear
shorts and a T shirt?

Speaker 2 (18:42):
I guess there's stuff to grab onto and yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 (18:45):
It's supposed to like just make it easier to like
grapple and like kind of get in between the bits,
the slippery bits.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
All right, well, uh, let's clean it up.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
I want to talk about street lights.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
I thought we were going to do the governor's race.
I don't know about street lights.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
Oh what did you say? What was the term you
used about Katie.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Porter, it was the term I used, I think unlikable.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
No, you said something during the break she was on
she was actually on CNN.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
I think took a crap. I think I said something
like that. She's at one point four percent. Yeah this,
she's entirely unlikable. I don't think that women are liking her.
I don't think men are liking her. I don't think
anybody's liking her. She's unlikable.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Unfortunately, this is on the prediction market that one point
four percent of people said that it's she could become the.

Speaker 4 (19:42):
Winner of the governor's race.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
Hiio Besarah still in the lead in this prediction market
at fifty percent. Tom Stire twenty nine, Steve Hilton nine
and a half.

Speaker 4 (19:52):
Yeah this.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
There are no more governor's debates scheduled, so what you
see is what you get. And a lot of people
are already voting, because we know that the ballots are
already in the mail if they're not in the mailbox
or on your kitchen table, if you haven't thrown it
out yet. So the questions of her temperament, I think
is the way the La Times put it. Questions of temperament.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
She comes across to punitive. Like you know, I've talked
about it before. A woman who comes across like she's
yelling at you is never going to go over. It's
just not We as humans are hardwired to kind of
cringe a little bit when our moms are mad at

(20:36):
us because that's our survival well as babies. And so
it's like a woman who's mad at you in that
way she comes across sometimes unfortunately, is not going to
be elected.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
Is there I'm asking this as a dude. Is there
is there any feeling that you have that she would
fight for you? I mean, because of that same attitude
that she is willing to stand up to She's willing
to call Chad Bianco a name on the debate stage,

(21:10):
she's willing to u in her commercials say she's gonna
dump Trump or whatever.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
Do you get that, I guess if you're looking for combative,
But if you're a Democrat in California, you don't need
someone to be combative at the Capitol because everyone's a
Democrat up there.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
What is she going to be? Like?

Speaker 1 (21:29):
Where does her combativeness get her in California? It's one
thing if you're going to vote for a combative a
combative person to take on Trump or the next Trump
and the presidential election. But you don't need a combative
Democratic governor in California. The contrary to Gavin Newsom's beliefs,
the governor of California doesn't get to pick a fight

(21:51):
with the president. You have no standing. Really, I mean,
it's it's limited. I should say, well, this is.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
She has an uphill climb to get rid of these
questions of temperament. And it's all by her own doing.
It's not like anybody made something up about stories or
things that you know, staff members were heard whispering about
her attitude or something like that. We all saw it,
we all saw it happen. So she can only blame herself,

(22:21):
I think, for that stuff.

Speaker 4 (22:23):
But speaking of people are whispering, whispering.

Speaker 3 (22:29):
Now to Ai, what do you mean whispering, Well, like
AI whisperer, like the horse whisperer or the quarterback whisperer
trying to find it.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Isn't that how AI runs? You prompt it, you whisper
to it, You tell it what you want and it
gives what you think you want.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
As opposed to typing, people are getting away from typing
and we're becoming more dumb everything.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
Oh, they're like whispering into their phones.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yep, AI show me yes, a half man, half cat
that lives in space and fights for the survival of peace.

Speaker 6 (23:01):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
We are talking about naming Elmer's baby and the idea
of maybe an Elmer junior, talking about Elmer's struggles as
a child with the name Elmer.

Speaker 4 (23:19):
We gotta be careful.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
He's not having a baby anyto, not that we know
about future baby, right future baby.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Michael wrote to us. He said, you can let Elmer know.
And Chandler, Arizona. His name is extremely respected. Every kid
growing up in Chandler still to this day goes to Elmer's.
It's Elmer's Tacos and it's right across the street from
Chandler High School. Beloved place there, Elmer's Tacos, So Chandler, Arizona.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
You'll be huge there.

Speaker 5 (23:48):
Yeah, I need to visit. That sounds awesome.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
Yeah, get yourself a T shirt.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
You do like a comedy stop on your tour. Yes,
so when you go in your comedy tour. Yeah, we
got to plan this baby around that, right, Yeah, yeah,
because are you going to go on the circuit? Elmer's
been doing stand up? Are you gonna yourself?

Speaker 7 (24:07):
I need to get like a solid twenty five. I
feel like.

Speaker 5 (24:12):
I barely have a ten.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
What does that mean?

Speaker 7 (24:15):
Like ten minutes of material? Okay, like you hit the road.
People say you want to have like half an hour?

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Okay, got it? Yeah right, Heather, she's not listening.

Speaker 5 (24:28):
She would know.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
But you can't have a new baby and go on
the road.

Speaker 7 (24:32):
Oh sorry, we're talking about how Like Shannon was asking
me when I was going to hit the road to
do comedy, and I told her I don't have like
a twenty five yet, I'm still working around ten. And
then I was explaining that that's how much material you have?

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Oh meeat how much I have?

Speaker 7 (24:48):
Oh no, she was asking me how much material I have?
Oh yeah, I was. I barely have ten. I need
at least twenty five before I hit the road.

Speaker 9 (24:54):
If you have to go on the road, you need
to have, yeah, a good twenty five to thirty minutes
because you never know what you're gonna need to switch
up for what crowd, and you got to be able
to pull from stuff. But I want to see you
go on the road. I want to come see you do.
I think you're so funny, so I want to come
see it.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
But he can't have a new baby when he goes
on the road, right Heather, I mean, oh really.

Speaker 6 (25:11):
You could probably.

Speaker 9 (25:12):
I mean a lot of trusts to look down on
it when you bring your babies into the bar.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
But you know you can stuff them under your shirt.
I mean you can't bring them to Chandler, Arizona and
Tulsa and all the places you go, right.

Speaker 9 (25:24):
Yeah, that's true. I've actually I've had friends and comedians
who leave their kid like in the back booth while
they go up and do their sets.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
That sounds that sounds deep.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
I'll watch that movie. It's awkward.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
People have been using AI, whether it's Claude or grow
or chat GPT to help them with work, and one
of the things that's been happening lately is people are
not typing in their prompts. They're just talking their prompts,
which is great. I mean, technology is at the point
now where you can turn your sort of rambling stream

(26:02):
of consciousness prompt into a coherent, usable thing for whatever
that large language model is to spit out what you're
asking it to do, and there are a handful of
new apps that will allow you to do that. The
problem is that it means that people are sitting around
talking to themselves. Wall Street Journal actually talked to Molly

(26:25):
Molly Mueller, and Molly and her husband used to sit
around at night once the kids go to bed and
work on their work on their laptops, and they'd sit
in the same room and they'd work away blah blah blah.
Just granted they weren't interacting with each other, but they're
sharing space. Now one of them has to go in
the office because they're both whispering things into their computer

(26:50):
to try to get these things to prompt.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Because they are people talking to AI that much.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Yeah, oh really, Oh yeah, like throughout the day.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
I have a friend who's been using Claude regularly for
runs a small business. Helps with keeping tasks straight. Oh,
don't forget. Put on my calendar that I have a
meeting tomorrow at six o'clock. Don't forget, let me, don't forget,
don't forget to remind me.

Speaker 4 (27:17):
To call this person.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
So it's a personal assistant.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
Basically, is the way he's using. But that there would
be creative ways also, like how do I even how
should I create an invoice or something for this product
that's unique? But you know, make sure that I cover
all my bases legally and tax wise and all that
sort of stuff.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
Interesting.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
So, but it's easier to just think of a question
and to verbalize it than it would be for someone
to sit down and type it, because I think when
we verbalize it to the computer, you're going to try
to be a little bit more casual about it. If
you have to type it, you're going to go back
and edit things to try to make it sound a

(28:01):
little more perhaps smart. You know, you're going to tailor
it a little bit better to what your prompt is
supposed to be.

Speaker 5 (28:07):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (28:08):
I haven't had a reason to use it just yet.
What would your degree?

Speaker 2 (28:12):
What would you say?

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Hey, Claude, remind me to get off the couch later
at three pm.

Speaker 4 (28:19):
Remember to clean up the chip shadow.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
I'm just kidding. I'm sure you have plenty of things
to remind I don't sure you do.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
No, you're right, No, I'm not. This is you've been
listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
You can always hear us live on kf I Am
six forty nine am to noon every Monday through Friday,
