December 9, 2025 ⢠30 mins
Gary & Shannon kick off the hour with a recap of the wild Monday Night Football turnovers, overtime chaos, and Shannon reporting live from the SoFi sidelines as the Chargers pull off a dramatic OT win.
They dive into Justin Herbert’s toughness, Jalen Hurts’ nightmare game, and Phillip Rivers training for a possible comeback at 44.
Then Shannon relives her now-legendary, extremely awkward Billy Crystal moment (“PeCaN Pie!”) and talks about the glamorous life of… getting rejected on the sidelines.
From there it’s cosmic panic and courtroom drama: 3I/ATLAS is making its closest approach to Earth, Ghislaine Maxwell evidence is set to drop, and Australia is about to shut down social media for kids under 16 — sparking a global culture war over whether it’ll save children or just enrage them.
Gary & Shannon wrap the hour with a new study linking endless scrolling to ADHD-like symptoms, and the uncomfortable truth that social media hasn’t made us more connected… just permanently reachable.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
That was fun.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
That was an exciting the shotgun a touchdown would win
it for the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh my god, Kurtz pulls it.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
Ohs intercept it, game over? Intercepting game over the fourth interception,
Tony Jefferson, unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Up does it? There you go. That was great over
time overtime when.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Oh my gosh, gosh, I I lot. I mean I
was screaming on the sidelines as much as I would
scream at a forty nine or at a forty nine
Ers game in the stands, like I was an idiot
on the sidelines. Like at one point MJ from mj
Acosta from NFL Network, She's like, oh, and she put
(00:53):
her arm around me because I'm like losing my mind
and I'm.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Just going like this, ah for for you know, a quarter.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I mean, it was so much fun, and you know,
and it's just like I'm throwing my microphone down.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I'm cheered for the defense. It was just it was
so much.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
It wasn't even a playoff game, but it had that
vibe Chargers almost locked up a playoff position.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
They made a huge inroad to beating the Philadelphia Eagles
last night twenty two to nineteen. And it was the
word I think that Matt and DJ kept using last
night was weird.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah, it's a weird game. DJ says that all the time.
It's weird. He goes, this is a weird game.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
But I mean DJ will say that like a handful
of games throughout the season, like something, you know, it's
just kind of a weird vibe or not a lot
of energy.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
It's weird game.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
And then he tweeted after the game, I've called a
lot of weird games.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
That was the weirdest, like DJ, Well, if.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Nothing else, there was a there was a really weird
play where Jalen Hurts throws an interception.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
The guy who.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Catches the line lineman right who's got hands the size
of sean vehicle, massive man.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
So he can't keep the baby football and try to
cover it up and in doing so.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Fumbles so he so an interception turns into a fumble
that's recovered by Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Both played for Bama.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah, the first time they said that, the first time ever.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
That a player has turned over the ball twice in
the same play. Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts had an awful,
awful game. My favorite part or not my favorite part.
But the game started cool because we're doing pregame and
we start getting whispers that Philip Rivers is going to
work out for the Indianapolis Colts. I was gonna ask
(02:34):
about that, and so that news is breaking because you.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Just said yesterday that was his birthday, right, yeah, forty
fourth birthday, And now we're finding out he worked out
for the Colts last.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Night in Indianapolis.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
So pregames going on, we're just hearing like whispers about this,
and so I go LT's there.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I go up to LT and I'm like, what's going on.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Haley who is a reporter for the team and does
a bunch of stuff for KTLA and for the Lakers,
and she has broken the news to LT. And LT's like,
they're not just this isn't just like a conversation. If
they're flying on him out there, they mean business. If
he's going out there, he's considering this for real. It's
(03:17):
been five years since he's been out. And then we
just start casually breaking news to everybody, Like I go
up to Coach Harbaugh. I'm like, coach, have you heard
about Philip Rivers. He's playing catch with his son at
the time, and he's like, what he's going.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
To Indianapolis And I go, they're gonna work him out.
He's like, oh my god. And Harbaugh is that looking
his eyes like I could do that. I could go
work out.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I still got you know what I mean, Like he
had that look, that competitive word look.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
And he's like that's amazing. Like he's gonna go check
his phone in case they did call.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, Kt, Kurt Warner's walking around. I go up to
Kurt Warner. I go, hey, Kurt Warner, you gotta tell
you got to talk to these people with first and
last names, right, Hey, Kurt Warner, do you hear about
Philip Rivers.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
He's like, no, what's going on? I said, the Colts.
They're bringing them out. He's like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
He's like, I could not stand on the sidelines for
a few years and go back in and be able
to see the game the same way. It would be
very difficult, he said, But there's a guy who can
do it.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
It's Philip Rivers. Now Philip Rivers.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
He played for the Colts for a year five years
ago after he left the Charges, remember, and he threw
like twenty seven touchdown passes that year. I think they
were eleven and four or something like that, eleven and five.
He didn't not go out limping into the cold dark knight. Now,
he was never mobile, he never had great arm strength.
But if they he's got the offensive coordinator he had
(04:33):
in Los Angeles, Shane Steichen. There in Indianapolis, he's got
Jonathan Taylor.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
In the backfield.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
But the way they described it, I think Jeremy Fowler
from ESPN, the review came in just that he threw
the ball well. I think that's what Jeremy Fowler said
when he's talking. Well you, I don't know about that, but.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
You could if you ever did, you could still throw
the ball well at fifty two.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
But can you take a hit from that sea defense
that it's going to be and not die?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
The way that they do this, and I think it's
a technicality you can clarify. They said that they they're
talking about signing him to the practice squad, which is
I mean.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I don't even know how to describe it.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
It's not a minor league team, but it's it's where
if you go down for injuries or whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
It means different things different people. So it would for
I mean, it's a different situation. The practice squad is
where guys who don't make the team end up in
a lot of the cases. In some cases, like Philip Rivers,
it would be a different meaning. It would be can
we get him up to speed, can we get him
in shape? Can he be ready to go? Maybe not
against Seattle but the following week. Yeah, okay, So it
means different things for different people.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
But I mean, what.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Would you wouldn't sign a forty four year old guy
to just sit on the practice Squatly that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
So he is in the finalist category for Hall of Fame.
If he signed to the practice squad, he's still eligible
to make the Hall of Fame this year. If they
sign him to the active squad, he has to wait
another five years. That brings up a whole new batch
of writers. People start forgetting about what you did. Like
(06:07):
when you're a finalist for the Hall of Fame, you
kind of want to stay where you're at.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
So that's another consideration.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
The other headline I saw was grandpa gets a try out.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
He's a grandfather. He's a grandfather. His oldest daughter is
older than the Colts. Other option there, Lincoln Riley. Yeah,
his daughter's older. His first son is the same age
as Lincoln Riley. Wow, is it Lincoln Riley? I think
I'm getting that wrong. That's like a that's a coach,
It's it's whoever. The backup is in Indianapolis, which is nothing.
Very f I don't mean he's a nothing personal question,
(06:40):
but exactly very few people. Here's the other thing I
did wrong last night, and it was all of this show.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Please tell me that I want to know.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
You gotta tell me after what Okay, I'll just say this.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
It involved Billy Crystal. I can't wait.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
There is a lot going on.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
The President is going to be in Pennsylvania today talking
about economy.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
We'll get into that.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
The Justice Department can publicly release some materials from the
sex trafficking case against Gallainne Maxwell. That was just announced
this morning, and we'll talk about that in a few minutes.
But last night, Chargers beat the Eagles on Monday Night,
Football twenty two to nineteen.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
And how about Justin Herbert who looked like he got
broken six times the number of tackles. I mean that
that was a porous offensive line last night. He rushed
for something like sixty six yards. Justin Herbert, I think
he led the team in a rushing stiff arming guys
with a broken hand, I mean, just made of ice
(07:42):
and steel inside.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
He got criticism for the way he handled Laura Rutledge
after the game. Did you see the video? So yeah,
it's tough.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
It's a delicate dance because if you haven't seen the video,
it's kind of everywhere. She's trying to get a walk
off the field interview with him. He doesn't like doing
interviews a it is part of the job. He knows
it's gonna happen. It's it was one of those games
where it's a walk off win essentially, you know, and
(08:11):
how perfect for Tony Jefferson who's a big baseball fan.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
But like, it's it's exciting in the moment, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I had an interview with Omari and Hampton set to
go that goes out the window because people are rushing
the field, Like everyone's rushing the field.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
You just kind of gotta do what you gotta do, and.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
The excitement is kind of makes all the plans go
out the window. There was a plan for her to
interview him. Usually it would be normal, Okay, we won
the game.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
You know there's but it was is there somebody from
the team that's like, hey, Justin, we're gonna go first
or whatever.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yes, but in that situation, like there would be usually
someone from the team accompanying me, go and talk to Omari,
and Omarian Shan's gonna talk.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
To you, blah blah blah. Cool.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
But in that situation, all those plans go out the window.
So she just probably went on the field like I did.
I just went and grabbed Durwin. She went and grabbed
just and obviously she's the TV reporter, you know she is.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
She got a camera following her problem, and that happens.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
That has happened to me so many times. But luckily
it's on radio and it doesn't go viral.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
He said to her. As she's like.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Hey Justin, he's like, hey, I'm just trying to celebrate
with my teammates, because that's what they wanted to do.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
They wanted to celebrate with each other. It's a huge win.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
And I was guilty the same thing last night, you know.
But thankfully it's radio and I try to get Derwin
James and he's celebrating and I'm like, der.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Wonderwid just in just one minute, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
But and it was fine, and he was so gracious
and wonderful. The thing with the Justin thing is you
would have never heard that on radio. You would have
just heard the interview, which went fine. By the way,
was crazy he stopped. I mean, at first it looked
like he wasn't going to say stopped. And the tale
of two Justin Herbert's like the the I haven't grown
(09:54):
up yet, Justin that you saw in the beginning years
and the this year maturing Justine.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
The realization totally he still has a duty to the interview.
So I got a text yesterday from a friend of
mine who was on the field who said that she
ran into somebody and made a fool of herself.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Oh yeah, that was you. I forgot that.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I texted you I would be proud, like I would
be proud of your pacon.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Of your peak. And so I did show some restraint.
So I envisioned my head. It's so bad.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I'm like, I see Billy Crystal.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
In the sideline, and I'm like, this is so cool.
It's Pilly Crystal.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
And and I'm like, I know I'm going to embarrass myself.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I already know what I see it playing out.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I just don't know what to which degree I'm going
to embarrass myself.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
How bad is this going to get?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
So I I go up to him and they're talking
to other people, and that didn't stop me, and I said,
I just have to say and I don't have to
say that's the thing I started with. I just have
to say, do you do you really have to say anything?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
You do not.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Anyway, I just have to say, Hi, Hi, Billy Crystal.
My name is Shannon. I just quoted you recently. It
was Thanksgiving and you know pecan pie.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Like I think that's how it went.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Like I think a lot of non sequiturs, just like
no point, like a lot of missed you know, phrases
in my thought process. I was just saying words out loud,
like yeah, Thanksgiving, you quoting pecan pie. But at least
I didn't go pecan pie, you know, I didn't do
(11:45):
the whole thing, Like that's my only so only thing
that I.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Can be proud of. Ye pekan.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I wanted to. I wanted to go peakan pie, but
I did it. I held back and he said I said.
He just kind of looked at me and smiled, and
I was like, oh, man, please don't be a D.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Please don't be a D.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I don't want the Richard Dreyfust moment with you, Billy Crystal.
And he's like yeah, And I was like, I know
it's an old reference, but it's so good and he's like, yeah,
it's a He's like, it's a forever reference and I
said it is. I said it's probably a reference you're
sick of hearing about. And he said no, not at all.
And then they were whisked off. But he was super cool,
he was gracious. I was a Yeah, I was a
(12:27):
total idiot and didn't use words correctly. God, I'm so stupid.
That's about the way I envisioned it. Yeah and yeah,
And so I texted you immediately, well, because yesterday we.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Had just done this whole we just done this whole
thing about how you met Ronnie Lott and you were like,
let me touch your finger.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
God, idiot, such a stupid person.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
You'd think after one uncomfortable moment like that, I would
clean it up.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
You know, No, it wouldn't work out that well. All right.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
The update on the Gallaine Maxwell case A big development
that just came down today. Some transcripts, some evidence has
been ordered to be released. This is not the same
as what the Department of Justice is going to be
releasing sometime in the next week or ten days or so.
So we'll talk about that update and we come back.
Pee can Pie Pie Pie.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I just saw this headline, Eagles loss gives Cowboys fresh hope?
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Does it?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Jeez? We say it does.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
A federal judge in New York has ordered the release
of grand jury transcripts and some evidence from the case
against Gallaine Maxwell. She's already, we know, serving twenty years
in prison down in Texas. Were conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein
in terms of the sex trafficking. But the judge ordered
(14:08):
the Justice Department to put in place a mechanism to
protect any victims from inadvertent release of evidence that would
identify them, might invade their privacy. That's not uncommon ordered
the release of any evidence that was shared in the
case between the prosecution and the defense before the trial.
From twenty twenty one is when it took place before
(14:30):
the new law, which sets the deadline. By the way, Oh,
this is ironic. It sets the deadline. I didn't realize
this for December nineteenth. You know what else happens on
December nineteenth. No, that's when three I Atlas comes as
close to Earth as it's going to get.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Oh my goodness, I didn't realize that. Did we know this?
We're on the clock. Yeah, us in ten days. You've
got to get ready for the aliens. It's time to
prep well.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
One of the ways we can do that is by
releasing all of the Epstein files.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
The aliens don't care about that, You don't think so,
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
What is a way to prep for the aliens by
releasing the epsteina I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Just basically, probably strip down naked and wait in that
Burbank Nature Park for them to just beam you up.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Okay, So I think you've been waiting on that eventuality
and you've been wanting to because you've brought up the
Burbank Nature Park a number of times unsolicited on this show. Now,
you know what, this is the first time you've unveiled
your desire to get naked in the nature park, which
(15:46):
makes perfect sense. I'm not judging at all, but the
fact that the aliens would want to see you naked
in the Burbank Nature Park is a new wrinkle as well.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Well. I'm just saying, if they're going to take me,
they're going to take me in my raw Okay, yeah,
raw on that.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Before.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
This law, by the way, which was passed signed into
law by the President, gives that deadline for the Justice
Department to release more records about the case. Federal judges
had at up until then, refused to release any of
the grand jury transcripts because those are often confidential and
it's very rare for a grand jury testimony to be
(16:35):
released publicly, and in this case, they said that the
Epstein victims have been fighting for a long time to
release more information about this whole thing. Determine whether any
of the other acquaintances that he'd previously discouraged his investigation,
or if he had help with his alleged trafficking in
higher levels of whether it was politics or celebrity or
(16:58):
just rich people take.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
An advantage of others.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
So this could mean we get to see some evidence
that we didn't know about before. It could also mean
that we just see a reiteration of what we've seen before,
over and over again. It seems like every time there's
a big, high profile release of information, it's always stuff
that we've had some inkling of before, so it's not
(17:21):
a huge surprise. Australia has launched its social media ban,
saying that this is the world's first domino when it
comes to trying to rip kids away from the destruction
that is social media.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
More than one million social media accounts held by users
under sixteen are set to be deactivated tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
This is and we don't.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Get a lot of the Australian news funneled right into
our veins, but apparently it has inflamed a culture war.
All the other countries are closely watching this. Can we
save our children? What it is is that social media
companies would have to take reasonable steps to ensure that
under sixteen's in Australia cannot set up accounts. As we know,
(18:11):
we know the under sixteen set is very crafty, but
they also want the companies to kind of self police
and find these kids that are able to do this
and delete those accounts, deactivate them, remove them if they
exist right now. This was approved late last year and
(18:34):
they say that with one law, we can protect Generation
Alpha from being sucked into purgatory by predatory algorithms described
by the man who created the feature as behavioral cocaine.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
What a great quote.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
There is also some pushback to this in Australia, said
many parents, even their kids, have welcomed the band. Others
say it will hinder young people's ability to express themselves
and connect with others. Love to meet the half brained,
mind numbed idiot who believes that.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
The person who wrote that either should be a sixteen
year old or someone who makes a lot of money
off of these social media companies. That's the only those
are the only two people that I will accept that
answer from.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Well, they described the the online support. They said that
would be crucial for marginalized groups or those who live
in isolated parts of rural Australia. We humans have lived
in rural places, cut off from many other people, for
(19:38):
thousands and thousands, if not tens of thousands, and potentially
millions of years.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
The sheep herder that I met in Ireland seemed.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Perfectly happy, perfectly fine, and this idea that somehow technology
has made us has made these relationships better. All you
have to do is look at all of the stories
that we've done over the course of the last five
years that show this is as you feel like you're
(20:07):
more connected when in reality you're not.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
This is a teenager's argument to having a cell phone
or having a snapchat. It's, oh, well, I don't want
to be cut off from my friends, and do you
want me to just be isolating in my room and
have no friends and be an active shooter? Like I
can hear all the arguments from the teenagers, that's who
I expect it from. Who are the adults fighting for
(20:29):
teenagers to have this because then they'll be connected. It's
the same conversation we had yesterday. Who in the school
district is advocating for tablet education because that doesn't make
sense to me.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
The problem with this is it's going to be in
common upon the companies themselves, the Instagram's, youtub'es, tiktoks, fake facebooks,
x allers, all of the others to be the ones
who restrict age somehow, how do you do that? Facial
recognition is not flawless. Kids find easy ways to get
(21:07):
around the date requirements. Obviously, that's a good shirt on
you bookmarket this one. Yeah, okay, it's been in the
closet for a while. Yeah it looks good. Okay, it's
fitting you nicely. Oh great, Well, then maybe i'll wear
this when the when the oh.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Yeah, the as.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I just think that totally naked might be a little
alarming to them.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
What about genitals, Well, then they have question me exactly
do you want to just throw those at them like
willy nilly, like right out the gate, or do you
want to slowly reveal genitals to the ale, have.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Them go with like a seven inch box or brief
at first?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
And then how about this pants? How about you wear pants?
I just feel like pants might be aggressive in their world.
Maybe pants are sign of I don't know. Yeah, I
would just go with a more conservative lean into the
aliens sweatshirts, like I think that shirt is a grace one, Like,
(22:12):
that's a good shirt, but pants for sure.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I just don't want them to be caught off guard
with dangly bits.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
I appreciate you think that I'm going to catch anybody
off guard with my current equipment.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
You know, it hasn't been anybody's equipment.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
The other story now, this is Australia launching the Social
Media band. At the same time, there was a study
done by the Kolinska Institute of Sweden and the Oregon
Health and Science University that describes just how bad social
media is for kids.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
We'll talk about that we come back.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Big solar eruption is expected to hit the Earth today.
Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration Space Weather Predictions Center says a
coronal mass ejection is expected to arrive here.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
As that is a coronal I'm sorry, coronal mass ejection.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
They call it CME massive burst of solar material and
magnetic field from the Sun's outer atmosphere.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
That's very cool. The moon has been on fire this
whole week. Yeah, it's been. It was full last week, yeah,
Amy King, Amy King, new.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Oh that's right, it was the cold moon. This geomagnetic storm,
they said, is strong. It could cause some minor impacts
to technology, satellite disruptions, radio communication issues, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
And the weather.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Speaking of the weather, if you drive anywhere north of
the Grapevine, you will be in fog for eight hours
at least.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Oh, it's the Tully fog, the five persistant fog bank.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
They said, four hundred mile long bank of fog in
the central Valley.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
And it's been siculously cold. I don't remember this.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
In Sacramento, they said the high temperature today in Sacramento
will be forty five.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Maybe the high temperature. Yeah, it gets cold there.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Last December when I went to go visit my brother,
it was in the forties.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
And it feels moist.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
It does feel moist. You're right, you don't like moisture
in or cold, not cold moist. What happens if when
the Aliens come on December nineteenth, it's cold and moist
in the nature park.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
It won't be cold and moist for long. Social media
is adding significantly significantly to the cacophony of AI created images,
and it's hard for kids to concentrate. Research from the
Kralinska Institute in Sweden and the Oregon Health and Science
(24:59):
University has found significant link between screen time and diagnoses
of ADHD yes.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Because we're constantly stimulated and we can't focus on anything.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
What do people.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Who have ADHD have a problem with focusing? If we're
constantly training our brain to jump to the next thing
every three to four to five, six, seven seconds, you're
not gonna focus as well. Even if you don't have ADHD,
you've known this in yourself. You've noticed this over the
(25:33):
past seven or eight years. Your tension span has dwindled.
You have a harder time opening a book and reading
the book for twenty minutes and not looking at your
phone or anything else. You just don't focus the way
you used to because you've trained your brain to look
for the next thing and to scroll and to scroll
(25:53):
and to be stimulated and on repeat.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Think about this that this study they followed more than
eight thousand kids aged eight to ten years old in
the United States for four years, and the kids reported
how much time they spent on social media. And that's
that may be a problem with the study itself, because
you're asking the kids to keep track of how much
they're on social media, watching TV, playing video games, et cetera.
(26:18):
And the parents also assess their ability to pay attention
any signs of hyperactivity, et cetera. In the four years,
those kids went from an average of thirty minutes a
day to two and a half hours a day on
social media, watching TV, watching screens, video games, et cetera.
(26:43):
From thirty minutes to two and a half hours. Obviously,
the inattention symptoms also increased. They said, it's hard to
figure out the causation in the research like this, and
you have to remember, if you have eighty eh something
like social media or the constant movement of a video game,
(27:04):
et cetera, it's going to appeal to you. So this
isn't to say that social media necessarily causes the ADHD
all the time, but it definitely will tickle that little
lizard brain of yours and keep you hooked longer than necessary.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
They said.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
An increase in social media activity was shown to have
no effect on the ADHD, but there was no evidence
of any reverse association. The average inattention symptoms do not
predict increased social media use, so ADHD diagnoses are rising
(27:41):
across the United States. We've seen over an increase also
in prescription medication for kids with ADHD, as opposed to
just taking the effing phone out of their hand for
two and a half hours a day, and the idea,
the arguments that we hear all the time, well, I
want my kid to be able to contact me in
(28:02):
the what did you do in nineteen eighty five?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, what did you? And granted there were payphones for example,
what are you going to do?
Speaker 1 (28:10):
What are you going to do once your kid contacts you?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Right? Your kids yet with you? What are you going
to do in that moment?
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I mean it's one thing to say, well they need
to call me after a practice is over, fine, have
them use the coach's phone or a friend's phone or something.
But the idea that you that we constantly have to
be in contact is a dangerous thing to be involved with.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
A period, The fact that anyone needs to be able
to be contactable at any time is a recipe for anxiety.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Period. The fact that.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Anyone can get you, get a hold of you, anyone constantly,
anyone not just anyone that you are is in your
life or as a friend of yours. Quite literally, anyone
can get a hold of you through social media at
any time.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
That that's crazy. And that's to go back to what
we were talking about. That's not connection, that's that's not right.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
It's not you having friends that are available that that's
an intrusion.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Right, Philip Rivers if the Colts sign him, and Pat
McAfee says, all indications are that the Colts are going
to announce a deal with Philip Rivers at some point today.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
That's incredible. He just didn't.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
He just coach his high school team. He's way quite
well finals or finals or something.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Yes, and hasn't played in five years. Five years is
a million years when you're out of the NFL and
when you were your forty when you're forty four. It
was forty fourth birthday yesterday, but he wasn't. He wouldn't
be the first grandpa to quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Who would it that be? Who was the first? I'll
tell you you've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
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
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
That was fun.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
That was an exciting the shotgun a touchdown would win
it for the Eagles.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh my god, Kurtz pulls it.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
Ohs intercept it, game over? Intercepting game over the fourth interception,
Tony Jefferson, unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Up does it? There you go. That was great over
time overtime when.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Oh my gosh, gosh, I I lot. I mean I
was screaming on the sidelines as much as I would
scream at a forty nine or at a forty nine
Ers game in the stands, like I was an idiot
on the sidelines. Like at one point MJ from mj
Acosta from NFL Network, She's like, oh, and she put
(00:53):
her arm around me because I'm like losing my mind
and I'm.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Just going like this, ah for for you know, a quarter.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I mean, it was so much fun, and you know,
and it's just like I'm throwing my microphone down.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I'm cheered for the defense. It was just it was
so much.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
It wasn't even a playoff game, but it had that
vibe Chargers almost locked up a playoff position.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
They made a huge inroad to beating the Philadelphia Eagles
last night twenty two to nineteen. And it was the
word I think that Matt and DJ kept using last
night was weird.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah, it's a weird game. DJ says that all the time.
It's weird. He goes, this is a weird game.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
But I mean DJ will say that like a handful
of games throughout the season, like something, you know, it's
just kind of a weird vibe or not a lot
of energy.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
It's weird game.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
And then he tweeted after the game, I've called a
lot of weird games.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
That was the weirdest, like DJ, Well, if.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Nothing else, there was a there was a really weird
play where Jalen Hurts throws an interception.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
The guy who.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Catches the line lineman right who's got hands the size
of sean vehicle, massive man.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
So he can't keep the baby football and try to
cover it up and in doing so.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Fumbles so he so an interception turns into a fumble
that's recovered by Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Both played for Bama.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Yeah, the first time they said that, the first time ever.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
That a player has turned over the ball twice in
the same play. Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts had an awful,
awful game. My favorite part or not my favorite part.
But the game started cool because we're doing pregame and
we start getting whispers that Philip Rivers is going to
work out for the Indianapolis Colts. I was gonna ask
(02:34):
about that, and so that news is breaking because you.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Just said yesterday that was his birthday, right, yeah, forty
fourth birthday, And now we're finding out he worked out
for the Colts last.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Night in Indianapolis.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
So pregames going on, we're just hearing like whispers about this,
and so I go LT's there.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I go up to LT and I'm like, what's going on.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Haley who is a reporter for the team and does
a bunch of stuff for KTLA and for the Lakers,
and she has broken the news to LT. And LT's like,
they're not just this isn't just like a conversation. If
they're flying on him out there, they mean business. If
he's going out there, he's considering this for real. It's
(03:17):
been five years since he's been out. And then we
just start casually breaking news to everybody, Like I go
up to Coach Harbaugh. I'm like, coach, have you heard
about Philip Rivers. He's playing catch with his son at
the time, and he's like, what he's going.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
To Indianapolis And I go, they're gonna work him out.
He's like, oh my god. And Harbaugh is that looking
his eyes like I could do that. I could go
work out.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I still got you know what I mean, Like he
had that look, that competitive word look.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
And he's like that's amazing. Like he's gonna go check
his phone in case they did call.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, Kt, Kurt Warner's walking around. I go up to
Kurt Warner. I go, hey, Kurt Warner, you gotta tell
you got to talk to these people with first and
last names, right, Hey, Kurt Warner, do you hear about
Philip Rivers.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
He's like, no, what's going on? I said, the Colts.
They're bringing them out. He's like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
He's like, I could not stand on the sidelines for
a few years and go back in and be able
to see the game the same way. It would be
very difficult, he said, But there's a guy who can
do it.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
It's Philip Rivers. Now Philip Rivers.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
He played for the Colts for a year five years
ago after he left the Charges, remember, and he threw
like twenty seven touchdown passes that year. I think they
were eleven and four or something like that, eleven and five.
He didn't not go out limping into the cold dark knight. Now,
he was never mobile, he never had great arm strength.
But if they he's got the offensive coordinator he had
(04:33):
in Los Angeles, Shane Steichen. There in Indianapolis, he's got
Jonathan Taylor.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
In the backfield.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
But the way they described it, I think Jeremy Fowler
from ESPN, the review came in just that he threw
the ball well. I think that's what Jeremy Fowler said
when he's talking. Well you, I don't know about that, but.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
You could if you ever did, you could still throw
the ball well at fifty two.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
But can you take a hit from that sea defense
that it's going to be and not die?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
The way that they do this, and I think it's
a technicality you can clarify. They said that they they're
talking about signing him to the practice squad, which is
I mean.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
I don't even know how to describe it.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
It's not a minor league team, but it's it's where
if you go down for injuries or whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
It means different things different people. So it would for
I mean, it's a different situation. The practice squad is
where guys who don't make the team end up in
a lot of the cases. In some cases, like Philip Rivers,
it would be a different meaning. It would be can
we get him up to speed, can we get him
in shape? Can he be ready to go? Maybe not
against Seattle but the following week. Yeah, okay, So it
means different things for different people.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
But I mean, what.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Would you wouldn't sign a forty four year old guy
to just sit on the practice Squatly that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
So he is in the finalist category for Hall of Fame.
If he signed to the practice squad, he's still eligible
to make the Hall of Fame this year. If they
sign him to the active squad, he has to wait
another five years. That brings up a whole new batch
of writers. People start forgetting about what you did. Like
(06:07):
when you're a finalist for the Hall of Fame, you
kind of want to stay where you're at.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
So that's another consideration.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
The other headline I saw was grandpa gets a try out.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
He's a grandfather. He's a grandfather. His oldest daughter is
older than the Colts. Other option there, Lincoln Riley. Yeah,
his daughter's older. His first son is the same age
as Lincoln Riley. Wow, is it Lincoln Riley? I think
I'm getting that wrong. That's like a that's a coach,
It's it's whoever. The backup is in Indianapolis, which is nothing.
Very f I don't mean he's a nothing personal question,
(06:40):
but exactly very few people. Here's the other thing I
did wrong last night, and it was all of this show.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Please tell me that I want to know.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
You gotta tell me after what Okay, I'll just say this.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
It involved Billy Crystal. I can't wait.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
There is a lot going on.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
The President is going to be in Pennsylvania today talking
about economy.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
We'll get into that.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
The Justice Department can publicly release some materials from the
sex trafficking case against Gallainne Maxwell. That was just announced
this morning, and we'll talk about that in a few minutes.
But last night, Chargers beat the Eagles on Monday Night,
Football twenty two to nineteen.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
And how about Justin Herbert who looked like he got
broken six times the number of tackles. I mean that
that was a porous offensive line last night. He rushed
for something like sixty six yards. Justin Herbert, I think
he led the team in a rushing stiff arming guys
with a broken hand, I mean, just made of ice
(07:42):
and steel inside.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
He got criticism for the way he handled Laura Rutledge
after the game. Did you see the video? So yeah,
it's tough.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
It's a delicate dance because if you haven't seen the video,
it's kind of everywhere. She's trying to get a walk
off the field interview with him. He doesn't like doing
interviews a it is part of the job. He knows
it's gonna happen. It's it was one of those games
where it's a walk off win essentially, you know, and
(08:11):
how perfect for Tony Jefferson who's a big baseball fan.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
But like, it's it's exciting in the moment, it's crazy.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I had an interview with Omari and Hampton set to
go that goes out the window because people are rushing
the field, Like everyone's rushing the field.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
You just kind of gotta do what you gotta do, and.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
The excitement is kind of makes all the plans go
out the window. There was a plan for her to
interview him. Usually it would be normal, Okay, we won
the game.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
You know there's but it was is there somebody from
the team that's like, hey, Justin, we're gonna go first
or whatever.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yes, but in that situation, like there would be usually
someone from the team accompanying me, go and talk to Omari,
and Omarian Shan's gonna talk.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
To you, blah blah blah. Cool.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
But in that situation, all those plans go out the window.
So she just probably went on the field like I did.
I just went and grabbed Durwin. She went and grabbed
just and obviously she's the TV reporter, you know she is.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
She got a camera following her problem, and that happens.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
That has happened to me so many times. But luckily
it's on radio and it doesn't go viral.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
He said to her. As she's like.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Hey Justin, he's like, hey, I'm just trying to celebrate
with my teammates, because that's what they wanted to do.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
They wanted to celebrate with each other. It's a huge win.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
And I was guilty the same thing last night, you know.
But thankfully it's radio and I try to get Derwin
James and he's celebrating and I'm like, der.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Wonderwid just in just one minute, you know.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
But and it was fine, and he was so gracious
and wonderful. The thing with the Justin thing is you
would have never heard that on radio. You would have
just heard the interview, which went fine. By the way,
was crazy he stopped. I mean, at first it looked
like he wasn't going to say stopped. And the tale
of two Justin Herbert's like the the I haven't grown
(09:54):
up yet, Justin that you saw in the beginning years
and the this year maturing Justine.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
The realization totally he still has a duty to the interview.
So I got a text yesterday from a friend of
mine who was on the field who said that she
ran into somebody and made a fool of herself.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Oh yeah, that was you. I forgot that.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I texted you I would be proud, like I would
be proud of your pacon.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Of your peak. And so I did show some restraint.
So I envisioned my head. It's so bad.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I'm like, I see Billy Crystal.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
In the sideline, and I'm like, this is so cool.
It's Pilly Crystal.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
And and I'm like, I know I'm going to embarrass myself.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I already know what I see it playing out.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
I just don't know what to which degree I'm going
to embarrass myself.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
How bad is this going to get?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
So I I go up to him and they're talking
to other people, and that didn't stop me, and I said,
I just have to say and I don't have to
say that's the thing I started with. I just have
to say, do you do you really have to say anything?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
You do not.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Anyway, I just have to say, Hi, Hi, Billy Crystal.
My name is Shannon. I just quoted you recently. It
was Thanksgiving and you know pecan pie.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Like I think that's how it went.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Like I think a lot of non sequiturs, just like
no point, like a lot of missed you know, phrases
in my thought process. I was just saying words out loud,
like yeah, Thanksgiving, you quoting pecan pie. But at least
I didn't go pecan pie, you know, I didn't do
(11:45):
the whole thing, Like that's my only so only thing
that I.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Can be proud of. Ye pekan.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
I wanted to. I wanted to go peakan pie, but
I did it. I held back and he said I said.
He just kind of looked at me and smiled, and
I was like, oh, man, please don't be a D.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Please don't be a D.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I don't want the Richard Dreyfust moment with you, Billy Crystal.
And he's like yeah, And I was like, I know
it's an old reference, but it's so good and he's like, yeah,
it's a He's like, it's a forever reference and I
said it is. I said it's probably a reference you're
sick of hearing about. And he said no, not at all.
And then they were whisked off. But he was super cool,
he was gracious. I was a Yeah, I was a
(12:27):
total idiot and didn't use words correctly. God, I'm so stupid.
That's about the way I envisioned it. Yeah and yeah,
And so I texted you immediately, well, because yesterday we.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Had just done this whole we just done this whole
thing about how you met Ronnie Lott and you were like,
let me touch your finger.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
God, idiot, such a stupid person.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
You'd think after one uncomfortable moment like that, I would
clean it up.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
You know, No, it wouldn't work out that well. All right.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
The update on the Gallaine Maxwell case A big development
that just came down today. Some transcripts, some evidence has
been ordered to be released. This is not the same
as what the Department of Justice is going to be
releasing sometime in the next week or ten days or so.
So we'll talk about that update and we come back.
Pee can Pie Pie Pie.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
I just saw this headline, Eagles loss gives Cowboys fresh hope?
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Does it?
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Jeez? We say it does.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
A federal judge in New York has ordered the release
of grand jury transcripts and some evidence from the case
against Gallaine Maxwell. She's already, we know, serving twenty years
in prison down in Texas. Were conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein
in terms of the sex trafficking. But the judge ordered
(14:08):
the Justice Department to put in place a mechanism to
protect any victims from inadvertent release of evidence that would
identify them, might invade their privacy. That's not uncommon ordered
the release of any evidence that was shared in the
case between the prosecution and the defense before the trial.
From twenty twenty one is when it took place before
(14:30):
the new law, which sets the deadline. By the way, Oh,
this is ironic. It sets the deadline. I didn't realize
this for December nineteenth. You know what else happens on
December nineteenth. No, that's when three I Atlas comes as
close to Earth as it's going to get.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Oh my goodness, I didn't realize that. Did we know this?
We're on the clock. Yeah, us in ten days. You've
got to get ready for the aliens. It's time to
prep well.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
One of the ways we can do that is by
releasing all of the Epstein files.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
The aliens don't care about that, You don't think so,
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
What is a way to prep for the aliens by
releasing the epsteina I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Just basically, probably strip down naked and wait in that
Burbank Nature Park for them to just beam you up.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Okay, So I think you've been waiting on that eventuality
and you've been wanting to because you've brought up the
Burbank Nature Park a number of times unsolicited on this show. Now,
you know what, this is the first time you've unveiled
your desire to get naked in the nature park, which
(15:46):
makes perfect sense. I'm not judging at all, but the
fact that the aliens would want to see you naked
in the Burbank Nature Park is a new wrinkle as well.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Well. I'm just saying, if they're going to take me,
they're going to take me in my raw Okay, yeah,
raw on that.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Before.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
This law, by the way, which was passed signed into
law by the President, gives that deadline for the Justice
Department to release more records about the case. Federal judges
had at up until then, refused to release any of
the grand jury transcripts because those are often confidential and
it's very rare for a grand jury testimony to be
(16:35):
released publicly, and in this case, they said that the
Epstein victims have been fighting for a long time to
release more information about this whole thing. Determine whether any
of the other acquaintances that he'd previously discouraged his investigation,
or if he had help with his alleged trafficking in
higher levels of whether it was politics or celebrity or
(16:58):
just rich people take.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
An advantage of others.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
So this could mean we get to see some evidence
that we didn't know about before. It could also mean
that we just see a reiteration of what we've seen before,
over and over again. It seems like every time there's
a big, high profile release of information, it's always stuff
that we've had some inkling of before, so it's not
(17:21):
a huge surprise. Australia has launched its social media ban,
saying that this is the world's first domino when it
comes to trying to rip kids away from the destruction
that is social media.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
More than one million social media accounts held by users
under sixteen are set to be deactivated tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
This is and we don't.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Get a lot of the Australian news funneled right into
our veins, but apparently it has inflamed a culture war.
All the other countries are closely watching this. Can we
save our children? What it is is that social media
companies would have to take reasonable steps to ensure that
under sixteen's in Australia cannot set up accounts. As we know,
(18:11):
we know the under sixteen set is very crafty, but
they also want the companies to kind of self police
and find these kids that are able to do this
and delete those accounts, deactivate them, remove them if they
exist right now. This was approved late last year and
(18:34):
they say that with one law, we can protect Generation
Alpha from being sucked into purgatory by predatory algorithms described
by the man who created the feature as behavioral cocaine.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
What a great quote.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
There is also some pushback to this in Australia, said
many parents, even their kids, have welcomed the band. Others
say it will hinder young people's ability to express themselves
and connect with others. Love to meet the half brained,
mind numbed idiot who believes that.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
The person who wrote that either should be a sixteen
year old or someone who makes a lot of money
off of these social media companies. That's the only those
are the only two people that I will accept that
answer from.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Well, they described the the online support. They said that
would be crucial for marginalized groups or those who live
in isolated parts of rural Australia. We humans have lived
in rural places, cut off from many other people, for
(19:38):
thousands and thousands, if not tens of thousands, and potentially
millions of years.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
The sheep herder that I met in Ireland seemed.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Perfectly happy, perfectly fine, and this idea that somehow technology
has made us has made these relationships better. All you
have to do is look at all of the stories
that we've done over the course of the last five
years that show this is as you feel like you're
(20:07):
more connected when in reality you're not.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
This is a teenager's argument to having a cell phone
or having a snapchat. It's, oh, well, I don't want
to be cut off from my friends, and do you
want me to just be isolating in my room and
have no friends and be an active shooter? Like I
can hear all the arguments from the teenagers, that's who
I expect it from. Who are the adults fighting for
(20:29):
teenagers to have this because then they'll be connected. It's
the same conversation we had yesterday. Who in the school
district is advocating for tablet education because that doesn't make
sense to me.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
The problem with this is it's going to be in
common upon the companies themselves, the Instagram's, youtub'es, tiktoks, fake facebooks,
x allers, all of the others to be the ones
who restrict age somehow, how do you do that? Facial
recognition is not flawless. Kids find easy ways to get
(21:07):
around the date requirements. Obviously, that's a good shirt on
you bookmarket this one. Yeah, okay, it's been in the
closet for a while. Yeah it looks good. Okay, it's
fitting you nicely. Oh great, Well, then maybe i'll wear
this when the when the oh.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Yeah, the as.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I just think that totally naked might be a little
alarming to them.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
What about genitals, Well, then they have question me exactly
do you want to just throw those at them like
willy nilly, like right out the gate, or do you
want to slowly reveal genitals to the ale, have.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Them go with like a seven inch box or brief
at first?
Speaker 1 (21:51):
And then how about this pants? How about you wear pants?
I just feel like pants might be aggressive in their world.
Maybe pants are sign of I don't know. Yeah, I
would just go with a more conservative lean into the
aliens sweatshirts, like I think that shirt is a grace one, Like,
(22:12):
that's a good shirt, but pants for sure.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I just don't want them to be caught off guard
with dangly bits.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
I appreciate you think that I'm going to catch anybody
off guard with my current equipment.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
You know, it hasn't been anybody's equipment.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
The other story now, this is Australia launching the Social
Media band. At the same time, there was a study
done by the Kolinska Institute of Sweden and the Oregon
Health and Science University that describes just how bad social
media is for kids.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
We'll talk about that we come back.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Big solar eruption is expected to hit the Earth today.
Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration Space Weather Predictions Center says a
coronal mass ejection is expected to arrive here.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
As that is a coronal I'm sorry, coronal mass ejection.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
They call it CME massive burst of solar material and
magnetic field from the Sun's outer atmosphere.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
That's very cool. The moon has been on fire this
whole week. Yeah, it's been. It was full last week, yeah,
Amy King, Amy King, new.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Oh that's right, it was the cold moon. This geomagnetic storm,
they said, is strong. It could cause some minor impacts
to technology, satellite disruptions, radio communication issues, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
And the weather.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Speaking of the weather, if you drive anywhere north of
the Grapevine, you will be in fog for eight hours
at least.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Oh, it's the Tully fog, the five persistant fog bank.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
They said, four hundred mile long bank of fog in
the central Valley.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
And it's been siculously cold. I don't remember this.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
In Sacramento, they said the high temperature today in Sacramento
will be forty five.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Maybe the high temperature. Yeah, it gets cold there.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Last December when I went to go visit my brother,
it was in the forties.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
And it feels moist.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
It does feel moist. You're right, you don't like moisture
in or cold, not cold moist. What happens if when
the Aliens come on December nineteenth, it's cold and moist
in the nature park.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
It won't be cold and moist for long. Social media
is adding significantly significantly to the cacophony of AI created images,
and it's hard for kids to concentrate. Research from the
Kralinska Institute in Sweden and the Oregon Health and Science
(24:59):
University has found significant link between screen time and diagnoses
of ADHD yes.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Because we're constantly stimulated and we can't focus on anything.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
What do people.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Who have ADHD have a problem with focusing? If we're
constantly training our brain to jump to the next thing
every three to four to five, six, seven seconds, you're
not gonna focus as well. Even if you don't have ADHD,
you've known this in yourself. You've noticed this over the
(25:33):
past seven or eight years. Your tension span has dwindled.
You have a harder time opening a book and reading
the book for twenty minutes and not looking at your
phone or anything else. You just don't focus the way
you used to because you've trained your brain to look
for the next thing and to scroll and to scroll
(25:53):
and to be stimulated and on repeat.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Think about this that this study they followed more than
eight thousand kids aged eight to ten years old in
the United States for four years, and the kids reported
how much time they spent on social media. And that's
that may be a problem with the study itself, because
you're asking the kids to keep track of how much
they're on social media, watching TV, playing video games, et cetera.
(26:18):
And the parents also assess their ability to pay attention
any signs of hyperactivity, et cetera. In the four years,
those kids went from an average of thirty minutes a
day to two and a half hours a day on
social media, watching TV, watching screens, video games, et cetera.
(26:43):
From thirty minutes to two and a half hours. Obviously,
the inattention symptoms also increased. They said, it's hard to
figure out the causation in the research like this, and
you have to remember, if you have eighty eh something
like social media or the constant movement of a video game,
(27:04):
et cetera, it's going to appeal to you. So this
isn't to say that social media necessarily causes the ADHD
all the time, but it definitely will tickle that little
lizard brain of yours and keep you hooked longer than necessary.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
They said.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
An increase in social media activity was shown to have
no effect on the ADHD, but there was no evidence
of any reverse association. The average inattention symptoms do not
predict increased social media use, so ADHD diagnoses are rising
(27:41):
across the United States. We've seen over an increase also
in prescription medication for kids with ADHD, as opposed to
just taking the effing phone out of their hand for
two and a half hours a day, and the idea,
the arguments that we hear all the time, well, I
want my kid to be able to contact me in
(28:02):
the what did you do in nineteen eighty five?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, what did you? And granted there were payphones for example,
what are you going to do?
Speaker 1 (28:10):
What are you going to do once your kid contacts you?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Right? Your kids yet with you? What are you going
to do in that moment?
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I mean it's one thing to say, well they need
to call me after a practice is over, fine, have
them use the coach's phone or a friend's phone or something.
But the idea that you that we constantly have to
be in contact is a dangerous thing to be involved with.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
A period, The fact that anyone needs to be able
to be contactable at any time is a recipe for anxiety.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Period. The fact that.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Anyone can get you, get a hold of you, anyone constantly,
anyone not just anyone that you are is in your
life or as a friend of yours. Quite literally, anyone
can get a hold of you through social media at
any time.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
That that's crazy. And that's to go back to what
we were talking about. That's not connection, that's that's not right.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
It's not you having friends that are available that that's
an intrusion.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Right, Philip Rivers if the Colts sign him, and Pat
McAfee says, all indications are that the Colts are going
to announce a deal with Philip Rivers at some point today.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
That's incredible. He just didn't.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
He just coach his high school team. He's way quite
well finals or finals or something.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Yes, and hasn't played in five years. Five years is
a million years when you're out of the NFL and
when you were your forty when you're forty four. It
was forty fourth birthday yesterday, but he wasn't. He wouldn't
be the first grandpa to quarterback in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Who would it that be? Who was the first? I'll
tell you you've been listening to the Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (29:51):

forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
