comes your way and Oh in about an hour or so,
(00:20):
and we'll be talking about a son who may have
killed his mother for money.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Echoes of the No No, No, No No No.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Brothers, Yes, the Monday and Football Lines Meet the Ravens
thirty eight thirty.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Last night.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Angels are hosting the Kansas City Royals later today. Dodgers
are in Arizona later tonight as they're wrapping up their season.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
These flash Gary and Shannon. Every training manual in every
kind of corporate fast food franchise has the same thing.
Make icon be nice.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
It's multitask. It's not new.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
It's been in writing since I started working in nineteen
eighty seven. So get out from behind the radio and
get a real job.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Who why made her mad? Also it's new for Starbucks apparently.
What made her mad? I know what it was? Squirrels.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yes, she is a squirrel mom. She has a bunch
of squirrels at home. That she feeds every day, she
provides some shelter. It's a whole thing. And I've heard
about squirrel moms. They exist, and God love them. I mean,
there are nice squirrels out there that need nurture, but
(01:44):
many they will protect those squirrels too, right.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
I have worked off and on for that chain for
a very long time. I'm currently employed with them, and
I think that it's a really good way to just
kind of get back to a coffee field, but still
with that same quick service that people expect from it.
And it is the latte method, but I think it
does work really well, and we're going back to basics
(02:11):
and just making people feel comfy and welcome and that
Starbucks can be their third place. I have listened to
you guys for the past ten years. I started listening
to you right when you came on the air. I
was preparing for my wedding, and now my husband and
I have been married for ten years and we both
love listening to Gary and Shannon. So love you guys,
and love you. Here's to another ten years.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, congratulations, Well that was nice, very enough. Let's see
we can perk it up. It can be nice. It's
time for swamp Watch because.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
I'm a cheat and alah, and when I'm not kissing babies,
I'm stealing that lollipop. Sea we got the real problem
is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
The other side never quits. So what I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
So that.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
The swap I can imagine what can be and be
unburdened by what has been. You know, irvs have always
been going president. They're not stupid.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Have the people voted for you were not swamp watch?
They're all counting? What's wrong? Are you okay? What's wrong?
Speaker 6 (03:15):
Well?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I was thinking about our friends at the Good Feet store. Yeah, yeah,
they bring a swamp watch every single day. They do. Yeah,
they don't even ask them to, they just do it.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Well, you know what, they'll help with that planter fascy
e itis. Mind flares up from time to time. I
don't know if that's what I have, but I should
probably make my way to the Good Feet Store where
they can tell me what my issue is. I'm just
trying to ignore it right now. Is it is it
around your heel area that is discomfort from time to time?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Point on the doll where your foot hurts.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Sometimes it's on the inside, sometimes it's on the outside,
like here yeah and here yes, uh no, oh, what
is that? I'm basically going to die tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Is that? What that is? Could be cancerous? I don't
google it. Do not google.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
US Secret Services uncovered a large network of electronic devices.
They say we're capable of disrupting all cell phone networks
in New York ahead of the UN General Assembly meeting.
The agency did not share evidence of any specific plot
or threat. But this is a very very strange thing
to have been announced just as the UN General Assembly
(04:25):
is getting underway. Here's one of the Secret Service agents.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
Hey, you use text message, you can't use your cell phone,
and if you coupled that with some sort of other
event right and associated with NGA, or you use your
imagination there, that could be catastrophic to the city.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
UNGA UN General Assembly.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
According Secret Service, there were over three hundred SIM servers,
one hundred thousand SIM cards, and other relicit materials found
in multiple sites in the tri state area surrounding New York.
So Secret Service is working alongside the NYPD and other
law enforcement, including Homeland Security to do a forensic an
now aalysis of these devices. Matt McCool, the guy that
(05:03):
you heard there, in charge of the Secret Service Washington
Field Office, said investigation has already revealed the involvement of
at least one foreign nation, as well as several bad
actors already known to law enforcement. Said the investigation is
ongoing and the agency made the decision to share the
information about the threat of the public to safeguard critical infrastructure.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I'm surprised that it's just the Secret Service at this party,
you know, in terms of other agencies or.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Well they I mean working with NYPD and Homeland Security investigations.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Thailan Al thailan Al has been all the talk, like
we said it would yesterday around this time, everyone scrambling
to find evidence that Thailanal could be a cause of
taianol during pregnancy.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I should say it could be a cause of autism.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
President Trump made this announcement yesterday along side doctor Mehmed
oz A, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, and others that were there.
He said, taking tailan all is not good. I'll say it,
it's not good.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
He is He's not a.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Doctor ham handed when it comes to specifics about details
and things.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
But this is one of those. Here's an issue.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Okay, Let's assume that there's a scant bit of evidence
that paracetamol or tailan hall or acetam in if and
whatever it is, could have some sort of elevated risk
of autism. Why is everybody pushing back against it?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Is it because he's the one saying it.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I don't know where this is coming from. It has
to be coming from somewhere. The only thing I can
think of is he wants that victory lap to say
I cured autism. Oh he'll take it regardless, you know.
But that's the only thing I can think of. Because
I've looked at all of the ways he could be
connected money wise to the pharmaceutical company that makes tilinl
(07:10):
Like what does he benefit from them losing from their
stock prices falling and things like that.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I can find no connection.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
So other than he wants to just put a bow
on this autism thing and say it's done.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I cured it, I ended it. I can't find anything else.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
There is one study that they were talking about that
they said. Officials pointed to a study done by Harvard
and some other researchers that found that women who reported
taking a seat of minefit while they were pregnant did
seem to be slightly more likely to have a child.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Who was later diagnosed with autism.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
And again you mentioned that yesterday correlation does not necessarily
mean causation, but hey, it's a if. It's something that
narrows down the field of how folate is then introduced
or removed from children and how that can influence autism.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I think it's a step in the right direction. And
when we come back.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
The drone issue, the airports in Europe are clearly being targeted.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
We just do not know by who much is it
China or tail and all what garyan Shannon will continue.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
We do have word of a verdict in the trial
of a would be Trump assassin down in Florida.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Ryan Ruth is accused of.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Attempting to assassinate Donald Trump on his Florida golf course
a year ago. Again, Jerry Delabored deliberations got under way
a short time ago. He gave his own closing argument,
of course he did, and it took twelve minutes.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
In that twelve minutes.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
The judge in the case interrupted him multiple times, scolded
him for ignoring her order to stay within the bounds
of the case because he complained that he wasn't allowed
to put.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
More witnesses on the stand.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Then, with the jury out of earshot, he asked the
judge whether the public defenders who initially represented him could
wrap up his closing argument if the judge interrupted him again.
She said no, and when the jury came back, Ruth
argued that to merely have a weapon in the presence
of another does not mean intent.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
He brought up January sixth, He brought up Capitol Hill.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
He started talking about Ukraine, about Patrick Henry, the common Man.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
The judge finally just pulled the plan. You're done.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yeah, I guess the whole thing was about forty minutes,
but he got twelve minutes in before she started one
of many many interruptions because he is a nutbag and
was defending himself. So we'll stand by for whatever sort
of verdict comes out of out of that jury flow.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Would you like your jeopardy question? Does that include music?
It does?
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Now?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Odd words for six hundred dollars, trust the process. Change
one letter in the word dinky to get this word
that means suspicious.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
What is hinky? Yes, please get dumber. I feel like
they get dumber. Okay, So we told you yesterday about
that big weekend outage at a bunch of European airports.
There was a cyber attack on the boarding and ticketing
software programs that exist in a lot of the major
(10:45):
airports and that caused problems. Well, there were drone sightings
over airports in Denmark and Norway that close those main
airports in Copenhagen and Oslo for several hours overnight. Not
immediate immediately clear where the drones came from, who was
operating them, and whether or not they were linked at all.
(11:06):
But the Prime Minister of Denmark do you know the
Prime Minister of Denmark's name now, Meta Fredrickson ah said
in a statement it was the most serious attack so
far on the country's critical infrastructure and that her government
was not ruling out any possibility in terms of who
was responsible for this. Several European countries, especially those near Ukraine,
(11:28):
are concerned about the potential for Russian aircraft entering airspace
and to kind of tie this into what we were
talking about a second ago, when it comes to President Trump.
At the UN he was asked today if Russian airplanes
violate NATO airspace, should they be shot down?
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Do you think that NATO countries should shoot down Russian
aircraft if they enter their airspace? Yes?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I do, okay well, and the Prime Minister of Denmark
said that the police in Copenhagen said the episode involved
a capable actor, adding that it was clear that this
ties into the developments we have observed recently with other
drone attacks, other violations of airspace, and cyber attacks on
European airports. At a news conference today, the Secretary General
(12:21):
of NATO, Mark Rutte, said that he had been in
contact with Danish officials, but reiterated that it was still
too early to say who was technically behind these as
of yet. They did also talk about last week's incursion
of Russian fighter jets into Estonian airspace, and then of
course going back to the incursion of Polish airspace by
(12:44):
those twenty or so Russian drones that crushed into their
airspace back on September ninth and tenth.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
So what's your money on some Russia?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Yes, yeah, but I wouldn't say Russia directly.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
From Putin. It's like Russia to a.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Guy he knows in Estonia that sells stuff pancakes in Estonia.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Pancakes in Estonia, like hey, Sole, money laundry. You have drons, right,
you can put dron in air maybe put next the
airport to see.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
What happened, right. That's that's my knee jerk reaction. I
agree with that. But do the pancakes have a specific
like top? Are they like strawberry pancakes? Or you can
get sweet or savory? A savory pancakes.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yes, that's the beauty of the Copenhagen pancakes or not Copenhagen,
excuse me, Estonian pancakes.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I don't know if I want a savory pancake.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Well I didn't think I did either, But then you
have one Gary. Do you put some meat on your
pancake and your mind is rewired to think, huh, I
do like a savory pancake, Crape, I'll keep my options open.
That is a really good attitude to have. I love
(14:02):
that you just said that instead of.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Eh, well we got caught. We were too negative all
the time, is what?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Really?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
One of our talkbacks earlier today was why are you guys.
So negative all the time. You're negative about everything. That
was before we had talked about the Fat Bears.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
So so that was about six minutes into the show,
because the Fat Bears made a quick entrance.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Yes, so negative.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
What were we negative about Trump at the un talking
about the teleprompter going out and that the person that
meant that he was going to speak off the cuff
would be in big trouble. And we laughed and they
laughed and everyone was laughing. That was positive. Laughter is positive.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Sometimes people don't hear that. Oh sometimes people. I'm positive
that we were positive.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I am too up Next, would you live in a
gender specific commune?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Would you live with just a bunch of dudes?
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Probably not. It'd be easier than living with a bunch
of women, right, But there's a little something missing?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Breasts? Yeah? Yeah, I mean if there are some there,
they're not the kind that you want, aren't. Okay? Well
aren't what? Never mind? Say it like pizza? Is that
what you're gonna say? Yeah, I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
If it's a bunch of dudes, those are not the
ones you want. Some bra Some men have wonderful breasts,
not that. And I'm looking at one of them right now.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Killing me, killing me slowly.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I haven't seen them in years, but there's one picture
I think it's still on our Instagram where they look great.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
It was the wrong shirt. It was a rough day.
My milk can come in.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
The man accused of trying to kill President Trump on
his golf course last year has just been found guilty
of all counts, five different counts against Ryan Ruth. You
remember he was the guy who well, he represented himself
in court and that's never a great idea, and thought
he was going to win apparently, but again, all five counts,
(16:16):
everything from assaulting a federal officer to an attempt on
a former president's life.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
He'll go to jail for a very long time.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Robot umpires are going to be a part of Major
League Baseball next year, part of the challenge system. Home
Plate Empires. Human plate empires will still call balls and strikes,
but teams can challenge two calls per game and get
additional appeals in extra innings. The challenges must be made
(16:45):
by a pitcher, a catcher, or a batter. They signal
it by tapping their helmet or cap, which seems to
be confusing because they do that a lot, regardless of
whether they're calling for a challenge or not.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Right, Well, when I saw this in spring training, they
did it at a few of the games in spring training,
it was pretty clear, was yes, yeah, because a lot
of times, especially if it's the batter. I mean, they
can step out of the box and turn to the
umpire and do that, and that's an obvious sign.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I do have a question of what happens if.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
In basketball, if you call a timeout and you don't
have any more timeouts, that's a penalty.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
That's a foul. Sorry.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
In football, if you call a timeout and you don't
have any more timeouts, you just don't get the time out, right,
it's not a it's not a penalty. And in baseball,
if you call for a challenge that you don't have,
there's no penal or is there a penalty because you're
then taking away time from the pitch clock. That's a
weird thing to me. I haven't figured it out. I'm
not sure I love this. I also was not sure
(17:45):
that I loved the pitch clock, and I think it's
great for the game.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I do too.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I love it, but I like but I like games
that are two and a half hours. I don't like
games that are five hours. It has made a huge difference.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
This I think goes against what baseball has been trying
to do recently, which is to speed things up there.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Yes, and consider this.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
According to ump scorecards, big league umpires call roughly ninety
four percent of pitches correctly. Yes, that's a pretty good
high success rate.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Yeah, but I will say it is quick as long
as the technology is what we saw in spring training.
It is a quick maybe seven or eight or nine
second pause to the game.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Yes, I will say this's going to get a chance
to talk about it. Did you see Kershaw's last outing
at Dodger Stadium on.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Friday at all?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Yeah, So his last batter, everyone knew it was going
to be his last batter, everyone watching, everyone playing.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Yeah, yeah, Devers.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
And the last strike was clearly a ball, like it
was so far out of.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
The strike zone, but he calls it a strike.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
And the way that the umpire at the plate called
this strike so emphatically still gives me chills thinking about it.
And baseball is the sport that can do that to you,
that can give you the like the emotional chills, like
that more than any other sport.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
It was funny. I was a Giants fan.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
I saw Raphael Dever's face when that third strike call
was made.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
It was like, I mean, he didn't even bother fighting it.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
He got screwed at an earlier at bat too, but yeah, no,
he knew.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I mean, but then it's.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Like, well, it's like, do you your Clinton cursha, do
you really want your last ball to be called a strike?
I don't know, but it was kind of cool. It
was all ceremony.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Yeah, he didn't get to win, which is bad for
his I don't know, he'll be fine. We'll see how
he does. In the posts the Bird's Nest. You ever
heard of the Bird's Nest? This is a five acre
women only commune in Texas in the nice, idyllic countryside.
There's a fire pit, there's yoga, there's a book club,
(19:54):
there's swimming pool.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
There's no men, and there's no drama.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Did they truck a man once in a while for
a little action, Yeah, just conjugal usiess busts a man
and then bust him out.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
The group is the brainchild of seventy year old Robin Yerian.
She said, it's dedicated to empowering women. They encourage, help,
console and laugh.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
With each other.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
I gotta say, there's gonna be a certain age where
you're just like, all right, I'm done with them, like I,
you know, in your seventies, maybe like I want to
live amongst women. I'm done with dealing with men, don't
taking care of them, done with.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
All of it. When you when are you going to
hit that age? Don't too? Oh you're so sweet sometimes.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
In thousand and two, Robin said she started to consider
her retirement plans and realized she'd struggle to support herself.
She hadn't saved enough money, so she took what she
did have bought five acres of land. Another thousand bucks
from her life savings was spent to upgrade it, and
she said it's at first, it's anyone aged over fifty five.
(21:02):
But she said after she hosted a workshop for a
group of women, teaching them how to use power tools,
what she pivoted to the idea of a women only commune.
She said everybody thought the idea was awesome. She didn't
want to exclude men, but this was all about empowering women.
They all live in tiny homes affordability. She charges just
(21:25):
four hundred and fifty dollars for a plot, which includes water, septic, rubbish,
lawn maintenance, et cetera, and said that they all run
this thing together. They expect to care for each other.
She's a pretty straightforward. I don't sugarcoat anything, but I
will not put up with drama, pettiness, talking behind people's backs.
We don't do that here. If we have an issue,
(21:45):
we say something. Most of the women are our age,
between sixty and eighty.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
There is one thirty three year old there. Really I'd
like the backstory on that one. There's always a listening ear.
There's always a helping hand.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
She says she spent long time pheniss not one in
the whole place.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Always a helping hand. Read.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
All right, well we come back. We've got another asteroid
that could kill us.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
You got it, Yes, chances just doubled. Man Monday, Oh no,
it's Tuesday. It is Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Tuesday just got that much better because it's not only
is it not Monday, but we got another asteroid headed here.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Next hour, I think we're going to get a little
bit more into the wrap up of the case against
Ryan Ruth. He's the guy who was accused of trying
to assassinate President Trump on that golf course in Florida,
found guilty on all five counts, and then apparently tried
to stab himself in the neck after the verdict was read,
so to add just a little bit more credibility to
(22:59):
his cl that he was perfectly sane when all of
this was going down.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
So we'll talk about that a little bit later.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Also, the story that just came down out of Major
League Baseball, they will be using automatic balls and strikes
as challenge for automatic balls and strikes next year, all
of next season, not just in spring training, so not
technically a robot umpire, but yet another way to challenge
the human element that is the game of baseball. So
(23:31):
scientists are working on a method to try to stop
space things from killing us.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Guys. Guys, guys.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
We all saw the major motion picture, did we not?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Which one? Armageddon?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yes, that one when they tried to blow up the
asteroid or drill it to bits.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
That was a different one. There was one that was Armageddon.
There's the other one that was with the army or
the oil drillers that then tried to plant a nuclear
bomb in it.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
The oil drillers the same thing. That's all. There's two.
There were two movies though.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Bruce Willis leads his team, his raggedy team of felons
and oil driller guys, guys that work on the oil drills,
and they're all tasked with saving the world. Ben Affleck
is there. He falls in love with the daughter. They
sing the stupid song. Right, I'm thinking of Deep Impact.
(24:32):
That was with TAYLIONI and if I'm not mistaken, Morgan Freeman,
it was the extinction level event that they were preparing
for anyway.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Anyway, Oh my gosh. See that's why we need the
old remember the good old times music. That's exactly why
we don't need it.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
We need to not highlight how.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Old we are. I heard a bad word, that's right.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Scientists have divide what they said would be an unconventional
method to stop a space killer sorry city killer rock.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
From hitting the moon.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
The measure to prevent a potential lunar crash landing was
detailed in a study that was published on the ar
XIV preprint server.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I don't even know what does that mean.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
This team, which did include experts from NASA, wrote that
nuclear robust disruption missions could be launched in as little
as four years from now. There is a concern and
the reason they're going to want to put some their
foot on the gas here is because y R four
YR four was that.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
No, No, it was.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Chris Rock's wrap movie, the farce. That was CB four.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I told you not to do, I told you to
pull up, and you just plowed the plane right into
the ground.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
They said that why are four is an asteroid that
could strike our planet just before Christmas of twenty thirty two.
Now it could strike our planet, but they're also concerned
about it hitting the Moon. I guess they've downgraded the
likelihood that it would hit our home, but they said
that the chances of it hitting the Moon are increased
(26:21):
and if that's to happen, that causes a cloud of
shrapnel that could impact not just satellites and spacecraft that
are around the Earth, but could fall back to the
Moon that could impede.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
The rovers that exist.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
There some astronauts with the Artemis program, if they are
there at the time that that thing hits. So they've
said to prevent a a rock elliptic outcome.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Do you like that? No, you didn't even know like it.
The researchers proposed the kinetic Disruption mission, in which it's
blown apart with nuclear explosive devices, just like the plot
of Armagad.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I was going to say, wouldn't it be cool to
have an ordinary group of Americans oil drillers sent up
there to bring us together again? Like this could be
the thing that brings us together.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Would it be all Americans or would it be an
international team? When I say that only because I want
you to say, there's no international team that can do
what an American team can.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Do, not oil drillers.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
What do you think they call it the World Series
when all of the teams are in America?
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Sorry Toronto? Why do they call it the super Bowl
of the World? Do they they do?
Speaker 6 (27:38):
Now?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
When it's just American teams, we call.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Them World Champion forty nine ers or world champion whatever.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Other teams win that thing again. I like the.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Allegiance there, but it would be American nuclear weapons. They
proposed dispatching two one hundred kiloton nuclear devices capable of
auto piloting themselves to why are four and then detonating
with a force roughly five to eight times more powerful
than the bombs that we dropped on Nagasaki under roshab
(28:17):
on nineteen forty five.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
You know, I I was thinking at the end of
that movie spoiler alert from what nineteen ninety eight? Do
I want to live in a world that doesn't have
Bruce Willis because at the l there's no Bruce Willow.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
And I don't I'd rather that asteroid come.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Take us all out because I love Bruce Willis. But
Bruce Willis is not well right now. I know, is
there a problem? I still have hope that he sticks around?
Speaker 1 (28:47):
You know, I just man, you really brought some reality
to that, and that was that was hard to remember.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
They did say that they would have two weapons on board.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
One of them would be kept on.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Board just in case it's needed that the first one
doesn't work. And if they don't just have a nuclear
bomb floating around you would.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
You go no, I'm if Space Force calls you and
they said, Gary Hoffman, this is Space Force on behalf
of America.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
We need you.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
We hear about the fence you built.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
It's a good fence. It's a strong fence.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
It is a fence where we think you could do
some real work for America. Do you come back as
your question it's a crap shoot man, but you'd say
you'd play a hand in saving the world, saving America.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I'd be happy with letting some other person do really. Yeah,
I think so wow, I got stuff to do. Like what.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I would totally go if I could build a fence.
And Space Force saw my fence that I built and
they said you can really help on the asteroid, would
you go for America?
Speaker 3 (29:58):
I'd be like absolutely, I'd say, are those cedar planks
five and a half inches or eight and a half inches?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
What do you got like a roast beef sandwich you're
looking forward to?
Speaker 3 (30:08):
That sounds good actually, but I got to go to
the dentist today afterwards. Trending stories when we come back.

Last night.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Angels are hosting the Kansas City Royals later today. Dodgers
are in Arizona later tonight as they're wrapping up their season.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
These flash Gary and Shannon. Every training manual in every
kind of corporate fast food franchise has the same thing.
Make icon be nice.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
It's multitask. It's not new.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
It's been in writing since I started working in nineteen
eighty seven. So get out from behind the radio and
get a real job.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Who why made her mad? Also it's new for Starbucks apparently.
What made her mad? I know what it was? Squirrels.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yes, she is a squirrel mom. She has a bunch
of squirrels at home. That she feeds every day, she
provides some shelter. It's a whole thing. And I've heard
about squirrel moms. They exist, and God love them. I mean,
there are nice squirrels out there that need nurture, but
(01:44):
many they will protect those squirrels too, right.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
I have worked off and on for that chain for
a very long time. I'm currently employed with them, and
I think that it's a really good way to just
kind of get back to a coffee field, but still
with that same quick service that people expect from it.
And it is the latte method, but I think it
does work really well, and we're going back to basics
(02:11):
and just making people feel comfy and welcome and that
Starbucks can be their third place. I have listened to
you guys for the past ten years. I started listening
to you right when you came on the air. I
was preparing for my wedding, and now my husband and
I have been married for ten years and we both
love listening to Gary and Shannon. So love you guys,
and love you. Here's to another ten years.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, congratulations, Well that was nice, very enough. Let's see
we can perk it up. It can be nice. It's
time for swamp Watch because.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
I'm a cheat and alah, and when I'm not kissing babies,
I'm stealing that lollipop. Sea we got the real problem
is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
The other side never quits. So what I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
So that.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
The swap I can imagine what can be and be
unburdened by what has been. You know, irvs have always
been going president. They're not stupid.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Have the people voted for you were not swamp watch?
They're all counting? What's wrong? Are you okay? What's wrong?
Speaker 6 (03:15):
Well?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I was thinking about our friends at the Good Feet store. Yeah, yeah,
they bring a swamp watch every single day. They do. Yeah,
they don't even ask them to, they just do it.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Well, you know what, they'll help with that planter fascy
e itis. Mind flares up from time to time. I
don't know if that's what I have, but I should
probably make my way to the Good Feet Store where
they can tell me what my issue is. I'm just
trying to ignore it right now. Is it is it
around your heel area that is discomfort from time to time?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Point on the doll where your foot hurts.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Sometimes it's on the inside, sometimes it's on the outside,
like here yeah and here yes, uh no, oh, what
is that? I'm basically going to die tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Is that? What that is? Could be cancerous? I don't
google it. Do not google.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
US Secret Services uncovered a large network of electronic devices.
They say we're capable of disrupting all cell phone networks
in New York ahead of the UN General Assembly meeting.
The agency did not share evidence of any specific plot
or threat. But this is a very very strange thing
to have been announced just as the UN General Assembly
(04:25):
is getting underway. Here's one of the Secret Service agents.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
Hey, you use text message, you can't use your cell phone,
and if you coupled that with some sort of other
event right and associated with NGA, or you use your
imagination there, that could be catastrophic to the city.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
UNGA UN General Assembly.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
According Secret Service, there were over three hundred SIM servers,
one hundred thousand SIM cards, and other relicit materials found
in multiple sites in the tri state area surrounding New York.
So Secret Service is working alongside the NYPD and other
law enforcement, including Homeland Security to do a forensic an
now aalysis of these devices. Matt McCool, the guy that
(05:03):
you heard there, in charge of the Secret Service Washington
Field Office, said investigation has already revealed the involvement of
at least one foreign nation, as well as several bad
actors already known to law enforcement. Said the investigation is
ongoing and the agency made the decision to share the
information about the threat of the public to safeguard critical infrastructure.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I'm surprised that it's just the Secret Service at this party,
you know, in terms of other agencies or.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Well they I mean working with NYPD and Homeland Security investigations.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Thailan Al thailan Al has been all the talk, like
we said it would yesterday around this time, everyone scrambling
to find evidence that Thailanal could be a cause of
taianol during pregnancy.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
I should say it could be a cause of autism.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
President Trump made this announcement yesterday along side doctor Mehmed
oz A, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, and others that were there.
He said, taking tailan all is not good. I'll say it,
it's not good.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
He is He's not a.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Doctor ham handed when it comes to specifics about details
and things.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
But this is one of those. Here's an issue.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Okay, Let's assume that there's a scant bit of evidence
that paracetamol or tailan hall or acetam in if and
whatever it is, could have some sort of elevated risk
of autism. Why is everybody pushing back against it?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Is it because he's the one saying it.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I don't know where this is coming from. It has
to be coming from somewhere. The only thing I can
think of is he wants that victory lap to say
I cured autism. Oh he'll take it regardless, you know.
But that's the only thing I can think of. Because
I've looked at all of the ways he could be
connected money wise to the pharmaceutical company that makes tilinl
(07:10):
Like what does he benefit from them losing from their
stock prices falling and things like that.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
I can find no connection.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
So other than he wants to just put a bow
on this autism thing and say it's done.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I cured it, I ended it. I can't find anything else.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
There is one study that they were talking about that
they said. Officials pointed to a study done by Harvard
and some other researchers that found that women who reported
taking a seat of minefit while they were pregnant did
seem to be slightly more likely to have a child.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Who was later diagnosed with autism.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
And again you mentioned that yesterday correlation does not necessarily
mean causation, but hey, it's a if. It's something that
narrows down the field of how folate is then introduced
or removed from children and how that can influence autism.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
I think it's a step in the right direction. And
when we come back.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
The drone issue, the airports in Europe are clearly being targeted.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
We just do not know by who much is it
China or tail and all what garyan Shannon will continue.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
We do have word of a verdict in the trial
of a would be Trump assassin down in Florida.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Ryan Ruth is accused of.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Attempting to assassinate Donald Trump on his Florida golf course
a year ago. Again, Jerry Delabored deliberations got under way
a short time ago. He gave his own closing argument,
of course he did, and it took twelve minutes.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
In that twelve minutes.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
The judge in the case interrupted him multiple times, scolded
him for ignoring her order to stay within the bounds
of the case because he complained that he wasn't allowed
to put.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
More witnesses on the stand.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Then, with the jury out of earshot, he asked the
judge whether the public defenders who initially represented him could
wrap up his closing argument if the judge interrupted him again.
She said no, and when the jury came back, Ruth
argued that to merely have a weapon in the presence
of another does not mean intent.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
He brought up January sixth, He brought up Capitol Hill.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
He started talking about Ukraine, about Patrick Henry, the common Man.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
The judge finally just pulled the plan. You're done.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yeah, I guess the whole thing was about forty minutes,
but he got twelve minutes in before she started one
of many many interruptions because he is a nutbag and
was defending himself. So we'll stand by for whatever sort
of verdict comes out of out of that jury flow.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Would you like your jeopardy question? Does that include music?
It does?
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Now?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Odd words for six hundred dollars, trust the process. Change
one letter in the word dinky to get this word
that means suspicious.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
What is hinky? Yes, please get dumber. I feel like
they get dumber. Okay, So we told you yesterday about
that big weekend outage at a bunch of European airports.
There was a cyber attack on the boarding and ticketing
software programs that exist in a lot of the major
(10:45):
airports and that caused problems. Well, there were drone sightings
over airports in Denmark and Norway that close those main
airports in Copenhagen and Oslo for several hours overnight. Not
immediate immediately clear where the drones came from, who was
operating them, and whether or not they were linked at all.
(11:06):
But the Prime Minister of Denmark do you know the
Prime Minister of Denmark's name now, Meta Fredrickson ah said
in a statement it was the most serious attack so
far on the country's critical infrastructure and that her government
was not ruling out any possibility in terms of who
was responsible for this. Several European countries, especially those near Ukraine,
(11:28):
are concerned about the potential for Russian aircraft entering airspace
and to kind of tie this into what we were
talking about a second ago, when it comes to President Trump.
At the UN he was asked today if Russian airplanes
violate NATO airspace, should they be shot down?
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Do you think that NATO countries should shoot down Russian
aircraft if they enter their airspace? Yes?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I do, okay well, and the Prime Minister of Denmark
said that the police in Copenhagen said the episode involved
a capable actor, adding that it was clear that this
ties into the developments we have observed recently with other
drone attacks, other violations of airspace, and cyber attacks on
European airports. At a news conference today, the Secretary General
(12:21):
of NATO, Mark Rutte, said that he had been in
contact with Danish officials, but reiterated that it was still
too early to say who was technically behind these as
of yet. They did also talk about last week's incursion
of Russian fighter jets into Estonian airspace, and then of
course going back to the incursion of Polish airspace by
(12:44):
those twenty or so Russian drones that crushed into their
airspace back on September ninth and tenth.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
So what's your money on some Russia?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Yes, yeah, but I wouldn't say Russia directly.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
From Putin. It's like Russia to a.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Guy he knows in Estonia that sells stuff pancakes in Estonia.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Pancakes in Estonia, like hey, Sole, money laundry. You have drons, right,
you can put dron in air maybe put next the
airport to see.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
What happened, right. That's that's my knee jerk reaction. I
agree with that. But do the pancakes have a specific
like top? Are they like strawberry pancakes? Or you can
get sweet or savory? A savory pancakes.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yes, that's the beauty of the Copenhagen pancakes or not Copenhagen,
excuse me, Estonian pancakes.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I don't know if I want a savory pancake.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Well I didn't think I did either, But then you
have one Gary. Do you put some meat on your
pancake and your mind is rewired to think, huh, I
do like a savory pancake, Crape, I'll keep my options open.
That is a really good attitude to have. I love
(14:02):
that you just said that instead of.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Eh, well we got caught. We were too negative all
the time, is what?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Really?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
One of our talkbacks earlier today was why are you guys.
So negative all the time. You're negative about everything. That
was before we had talked about the Fat Bears.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
So so that was about six minutes into the show,
because the Fat Bears made a quick entrance.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Yes, so negative.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
What were we negative about Trump at the un talking
about the teleprompter going out and that the person that
meant that he was going to speak off the cuff
would be in big trouble. And we laughed and they
laughed and everyone was laughing. That was positive. Laughter is positive.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Sometimes people don't hear that. Oh sometimes people. I'm positive
that we were positive.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I am too up Next, would you live in a
gender specific commune?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Would you live with just a bunch of dudes?
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Probably not. It'd be easier than living with a bunch
of women, right, But there's a little something missing?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Breasts? Yeah? Yeah, I mean if there are some there,
they're not the kind that you want, aren't. Okay? Well
aren't what? Never mind? Say it like pizza? Is that
what you're gonna say? Yeah, I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
If it's a bunch of dudes, those are not the
ones you want. Some bra Some men have wonderful breasts,
not that. And I'm looking at one of them right now.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Killing me, killing me slowly.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I haven't seen them in years, but there's one picture
I think it's still on our Instagram where they look great.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
It was the wrong shirt. It was a rough day.
My milk can come in.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
The man accused of trying to kill President Trump on
his golf course last year has just been found guilty
of all counts, five different counts against Ryan Ruth. You
remember he was the guy who well, he represented himself
in court and that's never a great idea, and thought
he was going to win apparently, but again, all five counts,
(16:16):
everything from assaulting a federal officer to an attempt on
a former president's life.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
He'll go to jail for a very long time.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Robot umpires are going to be a part of Major
League Baseball next year, part of the challenge system. Home
Plate Empires. Human plate empires will still call balls and strikes,
but teams can challenge two calls per game and get
additional appeals in extra innings. The challenges must be made
(16:45):
by a pitcher, a catcher, or a batter. They signal
it by tapping their helmet or cap, which seems to
be confusing because they do that a lot, regardless of
whether they're calling for a challenge or not.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Right, Well, when I saw this in spring training, they
did it at a few of the games in spring training,
it was pretty clear, was yes, yeah, because a lot
of times, especially if it's the batter. I mean, they
can step out of the box and turn to the
umpire and do that, and that's an obvious sign.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I do have a question of what happens if.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
In basketball, if you call a timeout and you don't
have any more timeouts, that's a penalty.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
That's a foul. Sorry.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
In football, if you call a timeout and you don't
have any more timeouts, you just don't get the time out, right,
it's not a it's not a penalty. And in baseball,
if you call for a challenge that you don't have,
there's no penal or is there a penalty because you're
then taking away time from the pitch clock. That's a
weird thing to me. I haven't figured it out. I'm
not sure I love this. I also was not sure
(17:45):
that I loved the pitch clock, and I think it's
great for the game.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I do too.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I love it, but I like but I like games
that are two and a half hours. I don't like
games that are five hours. It has made a huge difference.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
This I think goes against what baseball has been trying
to do recently, which is to speed things up there.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Yes, and consider this.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
According to ump scorecards, big league umpires call roughly ninety
four percent of pitches correctly. Yes, that's a pretty good
high success rate.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Yeah, but I will say it is quick as long
as the technology is what we saw in spring training.
It is a quick maybe seven or eight or nine
second pause to the game.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Yes, I will say this's going to get a chance
to talk about it. Did you see Kershaw's last outing
at Dodger Stadium on.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Friday at all?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Yeah, So his last batter, everyone knew it was going
to be his last batter, everyone watching, everyone playing.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Yeah, yeah, Devers.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
And the last strike was clearly a ball, like it
was so far out of.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
The strike zone, but he calls it a strike.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
And the way that the umpire at the plate called
this strike so emphatically still gives me chills thinking about it.
And baseball is the sport that can do that to you,
that can give you the like the emotional chills, like
that more than any other sport.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
It was funny. I was a Giants fan.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
I saw Raphael Dever's face when that third strike call
was made.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
It was like, I mean, he didn't even bother fighting it.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
He got screwed at an earlier at bat too, but yeah, no,
he knew.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I mean, but then it's.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Like, well, it's like, do you your Clinton cursha, do
you really want your last ball to be called a strike?
I don't know, but it was kind of cool. It
was all ceremony.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Yeah, he didn't get to win, which is bad for
his I don't know, he'll be fine. We'll see how
he does. In the posts the Bird's Nest. You ever
heard of the Bird's Nest? This is a five acre
women only commune in Texas in the nice, idyllic countryside.
There's a fire pit, there's yoga, there's a book club,
(19:54):
there's swimming pool.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
There's no men, and there's no drama.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Did they truck a man once in a while for
a little action, Yeah, just conjugal usiess busts a man
and then bust him out.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
The group is the brainchild of seventy year old Robin Yerian.
She said, it's dedicated to empowering women. They encourage, help,
console and laugh.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
With each other.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
I gotta say, there's gonna be a certain age where
you're just like, all right, I'm done with them, like I,
you know, in your seventies, maybe like I want to
live amongst women. I'm done with dealing with men, don't
taking care of them, done with.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
All of it. When you when are you going to
hit that age? Don't too? Oh you're so sweet sometimes.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
In thousand and two, Robin said she started to consider
her retirement plans and realized she'd struggle to support herself.
She hadn't saved enough money, so she took what she
did have bought five acres of land. Another thousand bucks
from her life savings was spent to upgrade it, and
she said it's at first, it's anyone aged over fifty five.
(21:02):
But she said after she hosted a workshop for a
group of women, teaching them how to use power tools,
what she pivoted to the idea of a women only commune.
She said everybody thought the idea was awesome. She didn't
want to exclude men, but this was all about empowering women.
They all live in tiny homes affordability. She charges just
(21:25):
four hundred and fifty dollars for a plot, which includes water, septic, rubbish,
lawn maintenance, et cetera, and said that they all run
this thing together. They expect to care for each other.
She's a pretty straightforward. I don't sugarcoat anything, but I
will not put up with drama, pettiness, talking behind people's backs.
We don't do that here. If we have an issue,
(21:45):
we say something. Most of the women are our age,
between sixty and eighty.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
There is one thirty three year old there. Really I'd
like the backstory on that one. There's always a listening ear.
There's always a helping hand.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
She says she spent long time pheniss not one in
the whole place.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Always a helping hand. Read.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
All right, well we come back. We've got another asteroid
that could kill us.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
You got it, Yes, chances just doubled. Man Monday, Oh no,
it's Tuesday. It is Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Tuesday just got that much better because it's not only
is it not Monday, but we got another asteroid headed here.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Next hour, I think we're going to get a little
bit more into the wrap up of the case against
Ryan Ruth. He's the guy who was accused of trying
to assassinate President Trump on that golf course in Florida,
found guilty on all five counts, and then apparently tried
to stab himself in the neck after the verdict was read,
so to add just a little bit more credibility to
(22:59):
his cl that he was perfectly sane when all of
this was going down.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
So we'll talk about that a little bit later.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Also, the story that just came down out of Major
League Baseball, they will be using automatic balls and strikes
as challenge for automatic balls and strikes next year, all
of next season, not just in spring training, so not
technically a robot umpire, but yet another way to challenge
the human element that is the game of baseball. So
(23:31):
scientists are working on a method to try to stop
space things from killing us.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Guys. Guys, guys.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
We all saw the major motion picture, did we not?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Which one? Armageddon?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yes, that one when they tried to blow up the
asteroid or drill it to bits.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
That was a different one. There was one that was Armageddon.
There's the other one that was with the army or
the oil drillers that then tried to plant a nuclear
bomb in it.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
The oil drillers the same thing. That's all. There's two.
There were two movies though.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Bruce Willis leads his team, his raggedy team of felons
and oil driller guys, guys that work on the oil drills,
and they're all tasked with saving the world. Ben Affleck
is there. He falls in love with the daughter. They
sing the stupid song. Right, I'm thinking of Deep Impact.
(24:32):
That was with TAYLIONI and if I'm not mistaken, Morgan Freeman,
it was the extinction level event that they were preparing
for anyway.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Anyway, Oh my gosh. See that's why we need the
old remember the good old times music. That's exactly why
we don't need it.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
We need to not highlight how.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Old we are. I heard a bad word, that's right.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Scientists have divide what they said would be an unconventional
method to stop a space killer sorry city killer rock.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
From hitting the moon.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
The measure to prevent a potential lunar crash landing was
detailed in a study that was published on the ar
XIV preprint server.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I don't even know what does that mean.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
This team, which did include experts from NASA, wrote that
nuclear robust disruption missions could be launched in as little
as four years from now. There is a concern and
the reason they're going to want to put some their
foot on the gas here is because y R four
YR four was that.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
No, No, it was.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Chris Rock's wrap movie, the farce. That was CB four.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I told you not to do, I told you to
pull up, and you just plowed the plane right into
the ground.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
They said that why are four is an asteroid that
could strike our planet just before Christmas of twenty thirty two.
Now it could strike our planet, but they're also concerned
about it hitting the Moon. I guess they've downgraded the
likelihood that it would hit our home, but they said
that the chances of it hitting the Moon are increased
(26:21):
and if that's to happen, that causes a cloud of
shrapnel that could impact not just satellites and spacecraft that
are around the Earth, but could fall back to the
Moon that could impede.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
The rovers that exist.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
There some astronauts with the Artemis program, if they are
there at the time that that thing hits. So they've
said to prevent a a rock elliptic outcome.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
Do you like that? No, you didn't even know like it.
The researchers proposed the kinetic Disruption mission, in which it's
blown apart with nuclear explosive devices, just like the plot
of Armagad.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I was going to say, wouldn't it be cool to
have an ordinary group of Americans oil drillers sent up
there to bring us together again? Like this could be
the thing that brings us together.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Would it be all Americans or would it be an
international team? When I say that only because I want
you to say, there's no international team that can do
what an American team can.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Do, not oil drillers.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
What do you think they call it the World Series
when all of the teams are in America?
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Sorry Toronto? Why do they call it the super Bowl
of the World? Do they they do?
Speaker 6 (27:38):
Now?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
When it's just American teams, we call.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Them World Champion forty nine ers or world champion whatever.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Other teams win that thing again. I like the.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Allegiance there, but it would be American nuclear weapons. They
proposed dispatching two one hundred kiloton nuclear devices capable of
auto piloting themselves to why are four and then detonating
with a force roughly five to eight times more powerful
than the bombs that we dropped on Nagasaki under roshab
(28:17):
on nineteen forty five.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
You know, I I was thinking at the end of
that movie spoiler alert from what nineteen ninety eight? Do
I want to live in a world that doesn't have
Bruce Willis because at the l there's no Bruce Willow.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
And I don't I'd rather that asteroid come.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Take us all out because I love Bruce Willis. But
Bruce Willis is not well right now. I know, is
there a problem? I still have hope that he sticks around?
Speaker 1 (28:47):
You know, I just man, you really brought some reality
to that, and that was that was hard to remember.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
They did say that they would have two weapons on board.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
One of them would be kept on.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Board just in case it's needed that the first one
doesn't work. And if they don't just have a nuclear
bomb floating around you would.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
You go no, I'm if Space Force calls you and
they said, Gary Hoffman, this is Space Force on behalf
of America.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
We need you.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
We hear about the fence you built.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
It's a good fence. It's a strong fence.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
It is a fence where we think you could do
some real work for America. Do you come back as
your question it's a crap shoot man, but you'd say
you'd play a hand in saving the world, saving America.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I'd be happy with letting some other person do really. Yeah,
I think so wow, I got stuff to do. Like what.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I would totally go if I could build a fence.
And Space Force saw my fence that I built and
they said you can really help on the asteroid, would
you go for America?
Speaker 3 (29:58):
I'd be like absolutely, I'd say, are those cedar planks
five and a half inches or eight and a half inches?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
What do you got like a roast beef sandwich you're
looking forward to?
Speaker 3 (30:08):
That sounds good actually, but I got to go to
the dentist today afterwards. Trending stories when we come back.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
