Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. Don't look at Wall Street today
on this Friday. It is not good. Worries building about
a toxic mix of inflation and the economy slowing because
of households afraid to spend due to the looming trade war.
(00:23):
It may be negotiation tactics that Trump is playing with,
but it is affecting Wall Street, make no doubt about it.
S and P five hundred down two percent in afternoon,
trading on track for one of the worst days of
the last two years, also heading for its fifth losing
week in the last six after wiping out what was
(00:44):
its big gain from the start of the week.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Let's let's take that and jump right into swamp watch.
I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar,
and when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lolleypops, Yeah, we.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Got The real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
The other side quits, so what I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
So that now you train the.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Squad, I can imagine what can be and be unburdened
by what has been You know, Americans have always been
going at They're not stupid.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 7 (01:16):
Why have the people voted for you with NASSAP watch,
They're all counter knowing.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Well, you heard there JD. Vance in that little intro,
he is in Greenland today. He along with Second Lady
Usha Vance and the National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, are there.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Soon after arriving, he briefly addressed you as troops stationed
at the base there in Greenland.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Petufic Space Force Base.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
You said it as he and his wife sit down
to lunch with them, saying that the administration is very
interested in Arctic security.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
One of the things that they're trying to do here
is get the public opinion of they went. They're trying
to win the hearts and minds, to use that old term,
of the people who actually live in Greenland. A senior
White House official was talking about this trip with the
Vice President and his wife, saying Danish leaders have spent
(02:12):
decades mistreating the Greenlandic people, treating them like second class citizens,
and allowing infrastructure on the island to fall into disrepair.
Expect the Vice President to emphasize these points as well.
I don't know who he's going to say that to,
because there's no one on Greenland who is flying the
(02:34):
American flag now that they think I guess they think
as being that would even be welcoming to the United
States at any capacity, let alone the Vice President. Oh,
he's right there, paterfit Space Base right now in Greenland.
Let's listen to some of the things Jade Vancestics als.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
For the warm reception in a very very cold place,
I think it's probably the coldest place I've ever been,
but you guys managed to do a great job to
set the weather. I want to bring a message for
President Trump. He's grateful for your service, grateful for what
the weather, that he's proud of you and he thinks
about you. Of course, the same is true for everybody
that's that's flanking.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Me up here.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
We're thrilled to be here because the mission that you
guys do is so important for.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
The United States.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
It's important for our national security. And today what I
everybody that I met to a person was professional, was kind,
was knowledgeable, and was dedicated to our country, America, United
States of America, even though you are very very far
from home. I met a lot, I met some Texans
and some Floridians today, and I thought to myself, man,
you guys have really signed up for tough duty here
(03:39):
in Greenland. But it's it's a beautiful place. It's a
striking place. A very harsh place the colonel showed me around,
but a very beautiful place. Even even in right now,
I guess we're still at least here in Greenland in
the heart of what what is winter? Because winter, I
guess lasts about nine months.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Again, that's Vice President visit Greenland, because why would you
visit Greenland?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
It kind of seems ridiculous a little bit, because there's
been all these overtures from the administration about acquiring Greenland
for whatever, the minerals, for military posture.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
What have you.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
They are an ally, why not just leave them at that?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So for him to go there and then have no
reception at all looks kind of silly. It's kind of
silly and making a big thing out of it.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Again, they're trying to win the hearts and minds by
suggesting the Denmark's not treating Greenland's people well, and that
they would be better.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
How would they do that?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
And they How would jd Vance win the hearts and
minds of the Greenland people? You know how you win
their hearts and minds? You're not an American and you've
lived in Greenland and your families live there for four
hundred years.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Do we know that the Space Force base there in
Petofik does a lot of missile detection? Would be missile
interception that sort of thing. So that's why strategically, at
least geographically, that's why we would want it. Like you
mentioned some of the natural resources as well.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Who do you think would win our hearts and minds? Like,
who do you see coming here and giving us speech
and winning over our hearts and minds.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
In this building or you mean in just in gens.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
In general, in the world. Kevin Costner, I would say
Kevin Costner.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Maybe if he gave a speech, yes, but like a
baseball type speech. If he did the Bull Durham soliloquy,
no monologue, the one in the pool in the bar where.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
No, the one in Susan Sarandon's front room.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I believe that Oswell doctor alone.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Now, yeah, maybe if he came in there here and
did that speech. He would win my heart and mind.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
At least, Aphanic will not be the US ambassador to
the United Nations. The White House pulled her nomination because
of the concern over the fact that Republicans did not
win as many seats in the House as they had expected.
Speaker Mike Johnson was quick to say that they will
put her back into a leadership role. She actually had
to be pulled off of leadership posts when she was nominated,
(06:07):
But at this point they said that she is welcome
and she didn't seem to be taking it too personally.
The other developing story today is that the Trump administration
has asked the Supreme Court to review or a straining
order that temporarily blocks its use of the Alien Enemies
Act to immediately deport Venezuelan national. So at this point,
(06:31):
lawyers for the administration said that the lower court orders
rebuffed the immigration agenda, including the ability to protect the
nation against foreign terrorist organizations, so they want the Supreme
Court to get involved. That immediately jumps to the top
of the list when it comes to important cases that
are before this Supreme Court. We talked a lot earlier
(06:53):
about Tesla and about what's going on with the protests.
And this is a perfect example of what we were saying,
which is you can great arguments without falling to the
level of saying something stupid like Elon Musk is a Nazi.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Gary Shannon. Gary asked a very good question, what's the
plan with Tesla? Here's the plan. Tesla's fifty billion dollars
in debt. Elon leveraged that company to finances Twitter fiasco
and SpaceX fifty billion in debt. The stock goes down enough,
there's going to be a margin call with all their debtors.
They're going to ask to be paid now because Tesla
(07:29):
is failing. That means Tesla will go bankrupt, and that'll
take down Elon Musk's entire empire because he's a Nazi.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
See everything that you had done, all the research you did,
all the knowledge you had about the financial conditions that
you find Tesla or Twitter or a SpaceX, and then
you you just cut yourself.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
So I don't play in the pool on Twitter of
the alt right or the alt left. I do try
to know people who know people that do just to
keep just to keep tabs on whatever the conspiracy is
at a safe distance. Is there more to the Elon
Musk is a Nazi other than his autistic salute at
that event?
Speaker 5 (08:11):
One day?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Is there some sort of Nazi manifesto he is published
where he says, I agree with Adolf Hitler?
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Is there some Goebels salute?
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Like?
Speaker 5 (08:20):
What else do we have here?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Is one thing that was a connection. He had posted
a meme at one point which was a soldier from
World War Two that had three pigeons on his back,
like carrier pigeons, and it said you have three unread
messages funny tech joke about and it turns out that
that was a German soldier.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Okay, so we're gonna stop.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Oh trust me?
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Are we going to do that? People?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Are that little logo Nazis?
Speaker 5 (08:56):
We can play this game. It's a stupid ass game.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Come back. Some of the worst office offenders when it
comes to smells.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
No, you're German, I'm not going to work with you anymore.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I thought we were going to bring that up. We're
not gonna bring that up.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
How much German are you?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
My German ancestry came out of Germany long before the Bundestag,
long before the Weimar run.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
You're like I was a Nazi before Nazi before Oh
my god.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
All right, very German, thank you for I was.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I was German like when they were making a lot
of good classical music.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Okay, all right, okay, what are we doing?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
What is this stuff? We'll figure it out, but don't
go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yeah, we asked you about what is somebody eating around
the office that is not cool or not just what
they've been eating, but maybe behavior like leaving a rotisserie
chicken carc us around for people to smell after you're
done with it, and you just leave it there for
like two days, and it's like you're that mentally unstable
girl in the Angelina Joe Lee movie. Girl interrupted, she
(10:13):
leave the carcasses under her bed. I think she was
an anorexic too.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah, and we relayed. I think everybody who works in
an office has some of the simple ones, some of
the easy ones. Right, You've got somebody who re reheats fish.
One of the things that we had to establish early
on when we worked in the same room together was
what foods are allowable and which ones aren't. And it
came up because if you remember, Ken walked into the
(10:41):
studio one day and I was eating maple, was maple
brown sugar, yogurt, yogurt or something like that smelled delightful.
And it's just because it smelled like maple and sugar
and goodness, and you know, the Upper Midwest and tapping
trees just smelled good like America.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
And he can he made.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
The face that you would make if you were changing
a diaper of a of a I don't know, baby
with diarrhea or something like that.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Baby that just ingested some of that puread carrot situation. Now,
oh he was. He was so upset, and we said
sugar well.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
And then after that I would bring in like tuna
casserole and I would ask, is it okay if I
eat this or should I like leave it in the office,
And you said, it's fine, doesn't bother me. And I
don't know if it's because it doesn't bother you that
it smelled like fish or you couldn't smell it. That
was a lot of just being nice.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
The only thing, the only thing that I didn't like
was tuna cassero. I just I don't like the smell
of it. I don't. I've never liked that. I think
I smell it and I want to throw up.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
So this whole show has been built on a house
of lies. No, but you didn't bring it in.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You brought it in for like the first year and
a half, maybe once every other week, usually on the seventeenth,
and then you stop. I'm making it up, like I
remember that vividly, the days that you would bring it in.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
I don't. It's not that big of a deal.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
It's never been a big enough deal to where I'm like,
I don't want you.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
I would never do that. Like, so it bothers me.
Who cares? You've never told you to.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Be in the you had to same room. I want
to have enough respect that I would ask if you
could say, if it bothered you, sit here and drink
this green juice because I can't smell it, not yet. Hey,
Aaron Shannon Mike waves over here where I work. Are fine.
It's the sink people leaving stuff in the strainer. It's
just disgusting.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yes, oh my god, so true. Have you ever noticed
that in the kitchen? How people believe it? In the
little the little catch allwn, No.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
That's weird. That's a weird. Shnon curry, curry, curry. I
love to smell a curry doesn't bother me kind of
in the right environment, like you mean in an Indian restaurant,
like I.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Like Alba cor tuna, Like I'll make a tuna sandwich
at home.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
You know, but I wouldn't. I wouldn't want that at work.
I guess, like curry I.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Would have at home, but I wouldn't want it it work.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
There's just certain home foods versus work foods, maybe overly punging.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Maybe foods which you can enjoy in the privacy of
your own home you wouldn't bring to a place right
like this.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
It's like things that travel, like pizza travels. So it's
okay at work.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, And even if you reheat pizza, it still smells
like pizza.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Like Jacob brings in like broccoli and stuff and then
heats it up, Like I want to smell Jacob's reheated broccoli.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
That's disgusting. It's awful.
Speaker 7 (13:44):
Big gary Snon, it's the course, like King Shannon, I
got one for you. This is about a month ago.
Our co worker as all color. She's an elderly and
beat knees. This id to uh oh reheat liver and
onions in the market. Oh and like I said, that
(14:05):
was about a month ago. And yes it still lingers.
And this is why I don't eat in our building. Yeah, okay,
so good weekend, guys.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I will say, of course, like King, the fact that
she's Vietnamese is completely irrelevant.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Yeah, I was gonna say liver and onions.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Isn't liver and onions is like an elderly thing though,
isn't it? Yeah, like everybody who eats liver and onions
has got to be upwards of seventy.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Well, I mean a lot of organ meats because you
didn't want it to go to waste.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Like the gizzards, Yeah, yeah, is that what they're called?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
The birds? Birds have a gizzard? Yeah, it is a gizzard, thinks.
I once got let go from a job, and right
before I turned my vehicle back in, I bought a
fillet of fish and threw it underneath the driver's seat.
I could only imagine how terrible that's smell.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
I would imagine though that there's probably plenty of preservatives.
You've got a you got a good couple of days
before that thing starts rott.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Fla a fish. I'll be good in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Yeah, but yeah, that smell of food that our kids
used to uh when they would get the big treat
was that they would get like apple juice in their
little sippy cups if they were good or if we
needed them to shut up while we were driving. And uh,
if you lose one of those in the between the
(15:29):
seats and your car gets hot, that stuff ferments and
it turns into hooch, it turns into pruno. But when
you unscrew that top, the stuff that's growing in there
overwhelming smell fermented bad.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Oh god, oh god, oh boy. So you don't have kids,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
That's why I don't have kids. It's why one doesn't
tap kids. Yeah, because you didn't want apple juice. You
didn't want this.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I want smell old, dried up, fermented prune in my car.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
That's oh god, not prune, prune.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
O, whatever, all of it, anything that starts with prune,
I don't want any of it.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Up Next, why it is that we've got to look
out for the new germ, this drug resistant fungus.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Drug resistant fungus that's coming up next.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
President Trump says next month will be our liberation Day.
He's calling April second, when our tariffs are set to
take place April second, which is what next Wednesday. Yes, uh,
he's calling that date liberation day, claiming the tariffs against Canada, Mexico, China,
and the EU will undo decades of those powers.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Taking advantage of the US liberation Day.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
We shall see. A drug resistant fungus that prays on
sick and old people is continuing to spread in hospital
bittles and skilled nursing facilities around the country. More than
one in three people infected have died as a result
of this. This is a type of yeast that can
(17:14):
cause this life threatening illness, first identified in the US
about nine years ago. Fifty two infections have been reported
across the country. The number of cases has more than
doubled every year. Fifty two infections back in twenty sixteen,
So now we're at over forty five hundred cases, and
(17:35):
that was just in twenty twenty three. California has about
a quarter of those. The CDC has issued this public
safety announcement because they said that this Candida auris type
of yeast may be resistant to many anti fungal drugs.
It spreads rapidly in healthcare facilities and can cause these
(17:56):
severe infections, like I said, with a death rate of
more than one in fel three. It spreads through direct
contact with colonized or infected individuals.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Here are the symptoms. Fever, chills, I feel.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Like I have the chill. Now, you've automatically got it.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
I do sepsis. Do I look yellow?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
That's jaundice, right, But sepsis also can turn your yellow.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
I can. That's what jaundice is. One of the symptoms.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Of Sepsisis I believe, I doctor, I defer an organ failure.
They said that the risk of infection is especially high
for anybody with a catheter, with a breathing tube or
a feeding tube, because those tubes create direct entry points
for this infection to enter the bloodstream or the lungs.
(18:49):
Most healthy people are not at serious risk of complications,
but most healthy people aren't in skilled nursing facilities or hospitals.
Just a generalization, Yeah, I know.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
So, how do you explain what's going on with you?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
No, I don't. I don't. I have another medical Stuart
semi medical story. Okay, there's a new ice cream that's
said to be welcomed to the world.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Like this, but oh, this is that bread stuff you're
talking about? Yes, are you going to ruin ice cream?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
I can't ask me if I'm going to ruin breast milk.
Here's a I have a question about this though. To
celebrate the launch of Freda's new two to one manual
breast pump, the Baby Company Baby Brand will be offering
breast milk flavored ice cream coming. Guess how long it
takes for them to produce this breast milk Yeah, girl,
(19:41):
smoke flavored ice cream?
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Oh god, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
About nine months.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
This press release came out. It says that the company
freeda fr Ida Freda wants to answer the question that
everyone secretly wondered, which is what does breast milk actually
taste like? Now I'm present, company included, most people know
what it tastes like. We've just forgotten, right, I'm not
(20:07):
speaking for anybody. I mean, we people like that. I
mean when we were born. But there's.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Breast milk as adults.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
That's true. Weird. Come on, they said that they will
include some of the same nutrients.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
That alone, curiosity alone. I wonder what this tastes like?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Right?
Speaker 5 (20:30):
I would be curious.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
O make a three energy boosting lactosereat what I mean
a lot of water for hydration? I had breast milk.
I'd be curious. I was that curious. I don't think
I was ever that curious.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
I'd be curious. What does that taste like? I don't know.
Is it awful?
Speaker 2 (20:53):
It can't be. Babies love it?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Well, it's their only option usually, Yeah, for good reason.
Do you want your jeffardy question?
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Good lord, go plow my head into a wall again,
just like the Nazis. Okay, Nazis didn't do everything.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
We opened the Nazi box, and we shouldn't have more
face facts for twelve.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
The hongi, a greeting in which one presses their nose
and forehead against another's, is practiced by this New Zealand people.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
What are the maori?
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Yes, good job, I'm impressed.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
See could you imagine if we had to greet people
by pressing our foreheads and noses.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
Against the space?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I could I could do two or three greetings at
a time.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Yuk yuck. I would say hello to nobody.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Can we say the thing that you're the bird thing?
Speaker 5 (21:56):
What bird thing?
Speaker 3 (21:58):
That the you're?
Speaker 7 (21:59):
You're?
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Her daughter made she, uh what need needle point?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
She made me a beautiful needle point that says great
tits on it. And there's two beautiful birds birds. They're
beautiful yellow and brown birds. Yes, I have it up
in my spare room. People love it. There's a problem
with light when it comes to those birds.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Is that all right? Is that right?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Yes? Yes, that's right.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
What is it affect?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I'll tell you when we come back.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Okay, Why are they called that?
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I think that came before the the euphemism for other parts,
the tatas. Yes, the Tatas rangers. That sounds like a
fun team.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Eurasian and African members of the bird.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Family are referred to as tits. Well.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
North American species are either called chickadees or tit mice.
The name titmouse is recorded from the fourteenth century, composed
of the Old English name for the bird, uh and uh,
the tea word denoting something small interesting. I did not
know that I didn't know that that's what that meant.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I didn't either, because that's not what the general euphemism
would be.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
They can be small.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
No, no, I'm not saying they can't be I'm just saying,
if you were to refer to them using that word,
how close are we to the edge here? I feel
very very close. I'm not looking to mel Gibson for
my advice.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
I mean I.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Basically ended up over the edge and then kind of
crawled my way back to tea word there towards the
end and flung the body back off the edge. And
now we're clinging to life once again.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
These birds again because we're from North America. Even though
go ahead way that they have fewer young in their
nesting boxes when those nesting boxes are in the city,
and study from Switzerland suggests that the reason for this
is light pollution. The SEMPOC or Anithological Institute, compared the
(24:16):
hatching rate of Great chick chickadees nesting in the forest
with those in the city, and they said it's very
clear more of the young hatch when the great chickadeese
constantly warm their eggs during the night, but they only
do this in the forest because if they are among
(24:36):
or if they're around light, they tend to be more
restless and more brightly lit to chickadeese.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
So when you turn the lights on, the great chickadees don't.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Like to breed.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
They become restless. Interestingly, we move around a little bit
more and they don't sit as calmly. What is that,
Oh it's a fish?
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Oh sorry.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
We have nineteen televisions here because Gary demanded them.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I did not, and I said, put those out there
in here because nobody can see those out.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
I know what happened, but it makes a better story
this way.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I demanded there be nineteen TV.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
And on one of them is some sort of cooking
show and there's a big fish, but I couldn't see
because it was super zoomed in, so you couldn't really
tell it. You could tell it was a food item
on a plate, but you couldn't really tell what it
was you were looking at.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
It was too close. Yeah. Yeah, uh.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
They said that I can't do the whole fish thing
that comes to the table, the literal whole fish.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I can't do it.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I don't like to know where my food actually comes from.
Like I understand that it's don't like yeah, like, I
know that it's chicken that I'm eating, but I don't
need the whole thing thing to prance on the table.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
The beak got all of it the feet. Light pollution,
they said, also dulls the chickadees sense of direction, especially
on nights with fog and indense clouds, and when they
return from their wintering grounds, they orient themselves by the stars,
among other things, which is why they depend on the
actual stars at night on their journey, as opposed to
(26:22):
the artificial stars in terms of street lights and things
like that.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Did you know that.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
While some birds learn songs from their fathers and others
learn continuously from neighbors, great tits are believed to do
so to do most of their learning in the first
ten to eleven months of life, so they say, it
leads to a final crystallized song repertoire that remains relatively
(26:50):
stable afterward. They learn all their songs in the first
ten or eleven months, and then that's kind of it interesting.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I didn't that never crossed my mind about where they
would learn their songs from, or.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
That they evolve. I mean, I would guess that you,
I mean, how many songs do they know?
Speaker 3 (27:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
I mean there's a bird song for probably for for breeding.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
There's a bird song for hey, look at that, there's
food over there, there's a bird song for hey, look
at that nice great tit over there. There's probably a
bird song for oh, look out, there's a hawk.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I mean they're danger and food and love. What else
do you need a song for?
Speaker 2 (27:33):
You nailed it? Why do we have so many words
in our language for it? We only need three?
Speaker 5 (27:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Now what is this show?
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Good question?
Speaker 5 (27:43):
What is this show?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
It is what you watch on Wednesday? So it is?
It is Friday. So what you learned this week?
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Did you get Gary sublivery onions in here? What you
learned this week on the Gary and Shannon Show. Leave
us a message on the talkback feature on the iHeart app,
or tell your Alexa Enable device to leave you a message.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Is that a big dish with the Nazis?
Speaker 7 (28:08):
No?
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Probably, I'm sure that that's going to be next. We're
going to be accused of perpetrating Nazi.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Actually, it's very popular German recipe liver and onions.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
I've never had it my life. You've been listening to
The Gary and Shannon Show. You can always hear us
live on KFI AM six forty nine am to one
pm every Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand on
the iHeartRadio app
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio app. Don't look at Wall Street today
on this Friday. It is not good. Worries building about
a toxic mix of inflation and the economy slowing because
of households afraid to spend due to the looming trade war.
(00:23):
It may be negotiation tactics that Trump is playing with,
but it is affecting Wall Street, make no doubt about it.
S and P five hundred down two percent in afternoon,
trading on track for one of the worst days of
the last two years, also heading for its fifth losing
week in the last six after wiping out what was
(00:44):
its big gain from the start of the week.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Let's let's take that and jump right into swamp watch.
I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar,
and when I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lolleypops, Yeah, we.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Got The real problem is that our leaders are done.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
The other side quits, so what I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
So that now you train the.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Squad, I can imagine what can be and be unburdened
by what has been You know, Americans have always been
going at They're not stupid.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 7 (01:16):
Why have the people voted for you with NASSAP watch,
They're all counter knowing.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Well, you heard there JD. Vance in that little intro,
he is in Greenland today. He along with Second Lady
Usha Vance and the National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, are there.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Soon after arriving, he briefly addressed you as troops stationed
at the base there in Greenland.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Petufic Space Force Base.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
You said it as he and his wife sit down
to lunch with them, saying that the administration is very
interested in Arctic security.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
One of the things that they're trying to do here
is get the public opinion of they went. They're trying
to win the hearts and minds, to use that old term,
of the people who actually live in Greenland. A senior
White House official was talking about this trip with the
Vice President and his wife, saying Danish leaders have spent
(02:12):
decades mistreating the Greenlandic people, treating them like second class citizens,
and allowing infrastructure on the island to fall into disrepair.
Expect the Vice President to emphasize these points as well.
I don't know who he's going to say that to,
because there's no one on Greenland who is flying the
(02:34):
American flag now that they think I guess they think
as being that would even be welcoming to the United
States at any capacity, let alone the Vice President. Oh,
he's right there, paterfit Space Base right now in Greenland.
Let's listen to some of the things Jade Vancestics als.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
For the warm reception in a very very cold place,
I think it's probably the coldest place I've ever been,
but you guys managed to do a great job to
set the weather. I want to bring a message for
President Trump. He's grateful for your service, grateful for what
the weather, that he's proud of you and he thinks
about you. Of course, the same is true for everybody
that's that's flanking.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Me up here.
Speaker 6 (03:13):
We're thrilled to be here because the mission that you
guys do is so important for.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
The United States.
Speaker 6 (03:16):
It's important for our national security. And today what I
everybody that I met to a person was professional, was kind,
was knowledgeable, and was dedicated to our country, America, United
States of America, even though you are very very far
from home. I met a lot, I met some Texans
and some Floridians today, and I thought to myself, man,
you guys have really signed up for tough duty here
(03:39):
in Greenland. But it's it's a beautiful place. It's a
striking place. A very harsh place the colonel showed me around,
but a very beautiful place. Even even in right now,
I guess we're still at least here in Greenland in
the heart of what what is winter? Because winter, I
guess lasts about nine months.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Again, that's Vice President visit Greenland, because why would you
visit Greenland?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
It kind of seems ridiculous a little bit, because there's
been all these overtures from the administration about acquiring Greenland
for whatever, the minerals, for military posture.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
What have you.
Speaker 5 (04:11):
They are an ally, why not just leave them at that?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So for him to go there and then have no
reception at all looks kind of silly. It's kind of
silly and making a big thing out of it.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Again, they're trying to win the hearts and minds by
suggesting the Denmark's not treating Greenland's people well, and that
they would be better.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
How would they do that?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
And they How would jd Vance win the hearts and
minds of the Greenland people? You know how you win
their hearts and minds? You're not an American and you've
lived in Greenland and your families live there for four
hundred years.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Do we know that the Space Force base there in
Petofik does a lot of missile detection? Would be missile
interception that sort of thing. So that's why strategically, at
least geographically, that's why we would want it. Like you
mentioned some of the natural resources as well.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Who do you think would win our hearts and minds? Like,
who do you see coming here and giving us speech
and winning over our hearts and minds.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
In this building or you mean in just in gens.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
In general, in the world. Kevin Costner, I would say
Kevin Costner.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Maybe if he gave a speech, yes, but like a
baseball type speech. If he did the Bull Durham soliloquy,
no monologue, the one in the pool in the bar where.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
No, the one in Susan Sarandon's front room.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I believe that Oswell doctor alone.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Now, yeah, maybe if he came in there here and
did that speech. He would win my heart and mind.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
At least, Aphanic will not be the US ambassador to
the United Nations. The White House pulled her nomination because
of the concern over the fact that Republicans did not
win as many seats in the House as they had expected.
Speaker Mike Johnson was quick to say that they will
put her back into a leadership role. She actually had
to be pulled off of leadership posts when she was nominated,
(06:07):
But at this point they said that she is welcome
and she didn't seem to be taking it too personally.
The other developing story today is that the Trump administration
has asked the Supreme Court to review or a straining
order that temporarily blocks its use of the Alien Enemies
Act to immediately deport Venezuelan national. So at this point,
(06:31):
lawyers for the administration said that the lower court orders
rebuffed the immigration agenda, including the ability to protect the
nation against foreign terrorist organizations, so they want the Supreme
Court to get involved. That immediately jumps to the top
of the list when it comes to important cases that
are before this Supreme Court. We talked a lot earlier
(06:53):
about Tesla and about what's going on with the protests.
And this is a perfect example of what we were saying,
which is you can great arguments without falling to the
level of saying something stupid like Elon Musk is a Nazi.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Gary Shannon. Gary asked a very good question, what's the
plan with Tesla? Here's the plan. Tesla's fifty billion dollars
in debt. Elon leveraged that company to finances Twitter fiasco
and SpaceX fifty billion in debt. The stock goes down enough,
there's going to be a margin call with all their debtors.
They're going to ask to be paid now because Tesla
(07:29):
is failing. That means Tesla will go bankrupt, and that'll
take down Elon Musk's entire empire because he's a Nazi.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
See everything that you had done, all the research you did,
all the knowledge you had about the financial conditions that
you find Tesla or Twitter or a SpaceX, and then
you you just cut yourself.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
So I don't play in the pool on Twitter of
the alt right or the alt left. I do try
to know people who know people that do just to
keep just to keep tabs on whatever the conspiracy is
at a safe distance. Is there more to the Elon
Musk is a Nazi other than his autistic salute at
that event?
Speaker 5 (08:11):
One day?
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Is there some sort of Nazi manifesto he is published
where he says, I agree with Adolf Hitler?
Speaker 5 (08:18):
Is there some Goebels salute?
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Like?
Speaker 5 (08:20):
What else do we have here?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Is one thing that was a connection. He had posted
a meme at one point which was a soldier from
World War Two that had three pigeons on his back,
like carrier pigeons, and it said you have three unread
messages funny tech joke about and it turns out that
that was a German soldier.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Okay, so we're gonna stop.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Oh trust me?
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Are we going to do that? People?
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Are that little logo Nazis?
Speaker 5 (08:56):
We can play this game. It's a stupid ass game.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Come back. Some of the worst office offenders when it
comes to smells.
Speaker 5 (09:04):
No, you're German, I'm not going to work with you anymore.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
I thought we were going to bring that up. We're
not gonna bring that up.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
How much German are you?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
My German ancestry came out of Germany long before the Bundestag,
long before the Weimar run.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
You're like I was a Nazi before Nazi before Oh
my god.
Speaker 5 (09:24):
All right, very German, thank you for I was.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
I was German like when they were making a lot
of good classical music.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Okay, all right, okay, what are we doing?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
What is this stuff? We'll figure it out, but don't
go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yeah, we asked you about what is somebody eating around
the office that is not cool or not just what
they've been eating, but maybe behavior like leaving a rotisserie
chicken carc us around for people to smell after you're
done with it, and you just leave it there for
like two days, and it's like you're that mentally unstable
girl in the Angelina Joe Lee movie. Girl interrupted, she
(10:13):
leave the carcasses under her bed. I think she was
an anorexic too.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah, and we relayed. I think everybody who works in
an office has some of the simple ones, some of
the easy ones. Right, You've got somebody who re reheats fish.
One of the things that we had to establish early
on when we worked in the same room together was
what foods are allowable and which ones aren't. And it
came up because if you remember, Ken walked into the
(10:41):
studio one day and I was eating maple, was maple
brown sugar, yogurt, yogurt or something like that smelled delightful.
And it's just because it smelled like maple and sugar
and goodness, and you know, the Upper Midwest and tapping
trees just smelled good like America.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
And he can he made.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
The face that you would make if you were changing
a diaper of a of a I don't know, baby
with diarrhea or something like that.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Baby that just ingested some of that puread carrot situation. Now,
oh he was. He was so upset, and we said
sugar well.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
And then after that I would bring in like tuna
casserole and I would ask, is it okay if I
eat this or should I like leave it in the office,
And you said, it's fine, doesn't bother me. And I
don't know if it's because it doesn't bother you that
it smelled like fish or you couldn't smell it. That
was a lot of just being nice.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
The only thing, the only thing that I didn't like
was tuna cassero. I just I don't like the smell
of it. I don't. I've never liked that. I think
I smell it and I want to throw up.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
So this whole show has been built on a house
of lies. No, but you didn't bring it in.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You brought it in for like the first year and
a half, maybe once every other week, usually on the seventeenth,
and then you stop. I'm making it up, like I
remember that vividly, the days that you would bring it in.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
I don't. It's not that big of a deal.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
It's never been a big enough deal to where I'm like,
I don't want you.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
I would never do that. Like, so it bothers me.
Who cares? You've never told you to.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Be in the you had to same room. I want
to have enough respect that I would ask if you
could say, if it bothered you, sit here and drink
this green juice because I can't smell it, not yet. Hey,
Aaron Shannon Mike waves over here where I work. Are fine.
It's the sink people leaving stuff in the strainer. It's
just disgusting.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Yes, oh my god, so true. Have you ever noticed
that in the kitchen? How people believe it? In the
little the little catch allwn, No.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
That's weird. That's a weird. Shnon curry, curry, curry. I
love to smell a curry doesn't bother me kind of
in the right environment, like you mean in an Indian restaurant,
like I.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Like Alba cor tuna, Like I'll make a tuna sandwich
at home.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
You know, but I wouldn't. I wouldn't want that at work.
I guess, like curry I.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Would have at home, but I wouldn't want it it work.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
There's just certain home foods versus work foods, maybe overly punging.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Maybe foods which you can enjoy in the privacy of
your own home you wouldn't bring to a place right
like this.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
It's like things that travel, like pizza travels. So it's
okay at work.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, And even if you reheat pizza, it still smells
like pizza.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Like Jacob brings in like broccoli and stuff and then
heats it up, Like I want to smell Jacob's reheated broccoli.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
That's disgusting. It's awful.
Speaker 7 (13:44):
Big gary Snon, it's the course, like King Shannon, I
got one for you. This is about a month ago.
Our co worker as all color. She's an elderly and
beat knees. This id to uh oh reheat liver and
onions in the market. Oh and like I said, that
(14:05):
was about a month ago. And yes it still lingers.
And this is why I don't eat in our building. Yeah, okay,
so good weekend, guys.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I will say, of course, like King, the fact that
she's Vietnamese is completely irrelevant.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Yeah, I was gonna say liver and onions.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Isn't liver and onions is like an elderly thing though,
isn't it? Yeah, like everybody who eats liver and onions
has got to be upwards of seventy.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Well, I mean a lot of organ meats because you
didn't want it to go to waste.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Like the gizzards, Yeah, yeah, is that what they're called?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
The birds? Birds have a gizzard? Yeah, it is a gizzard, thinks.
I once got let go from a job, and right
before I turned my vehicle back in, I bought a
fillet of fish and threw it underneath the driver's seat.
I could only imagine how terrible that's smell.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
I would imagine though that there's probably plenty of preservatives.
You've got a you got a good couple of days
before that thing starts rott.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Fla a fish. I'll be good in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Yeah, but yeah, that smell of food that our kids
used to uh when they would get the big treat
was that they would get like apple juice in their
little sippy cups if they were good or if we
needed them to shut up while we were driving. And uh,
if you lose one of those in the between the
(15:29):
seats and your car gets hot, that stuff ferments and
it turns into hooch, it turns into pruno. But when
you unscrew that top, the stuff that's growing in there
overwhelming smell fermented bad.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Oh god, oh god, oh boy. So you don't have kids,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
That's why I don't have kids. It's why one doesn't
tap kids. Yeah, because you didn't want apple juice. You
didn't want this.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
I want smell old, dried up, fermented prune in my car.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
That's oh god, not prune, prune.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
O, whatever, all of it, anything that starts with prune,
I don't want any of it.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Up Next, why it is that we've got to look
out for the new germ, this drug resistant fungus.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Drug resistant fungus that's coming up next.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
President Trump says next month will be our liberation Day.
He's calling April second, when our tariffs are set to
take place April second, which is what next Wednesday. Yes, uh,
he's calling that date liberation day, claiming the tariffs against Canada, Mexico, China,
and the EU will undo decades of those powers.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
Taking advantage of the US liberation Day.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
We shall see. A drug resistant fungus that prays on
sick and old people is continuing to spread in hospital
bittles and skilled nursing facilities around the country. More than
one in three people infected have died as a result
of this. This is a type of yeast that can
(17:14):
cause this life threatening illness, first identified in the US
about nine years ago. Fifty two infections have been reported
across the country. The number of cases has more than
doubled every year. Fifty two infections back in twenty sixteen,
So now we're at over forty five hundred cases, and
(17:35):
that was just in twenty twenty three. California has about
a quarter of those. The CDC has issued this public
safety announcement because they said that this Candida auris type
of yeast may be resistant to many anti fungal drugs.
It spreads rapidly in healthcare facilities and can cause these
(17:56):
severe infections, like I said, with a death rate of
more than one in fel three. It spreads through direct
contact with colonized or infected individuals.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Here are the symptoms. Fever, chills, I feel.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Like I have the chill. Now, you've automatically got it.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
I do sepsis. Do I look yellow?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
That's jaundice, right, But sepsis also can turn your yellow.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
I can. That's what jaundice is. One of the symptoms.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Of Sepsisis I believe, I doctor, I defer an organ failure.
They said that the risk of infection is especially high
for anybody with a catheter, with a breathing tube or
a feeding tube, because those tubes create direct entry points
for this infection to enter the bloodstream or the lungs.
(18:49):
Most healthy people are not at serious risk of complications,
but most healthy people aren't in skilled nursing facilities or hospitals.
Just a generalization, Yeah, I know.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
So, how do you explain what's going on with you?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
No, I don't. I don't. I have another medical Stuart
semi medical story. Okay, there's a new ice cream that's
said to be welcomed to the world.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Like this, but oh, this is that bread stuff you're
talking about? Yes, are you going to ruin ice cream?
Speaker 2 (19:20):
I can't ask me if I'm going to ruin breast milk.
Here's a I have a question about this though. To
celebrate the launch of Freda's new two to one manual
breast pump, the Baby Company Baby Brand will be offering
breast milk flavored ice cream coming. Guess how long it
takes for them to produce this breast milk Yeah, girl,
(19:41):
smoke flavored ice cream?
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Oh god, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
About nine months.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
This press release came out. It says that the company
freeda fr Ida Freda wants to answer the question that
everyone secretly wondered, which is what does breast milk actually
taste like? Now I'm present, company included, most people know
what it tastes like. We've just forgotten, right, I'm not
(20:07):
speaking for anybody. I mean, we people like that. I
mean when we were born. But there's.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Breast milk as adults.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
That's true. Weird. Come on, they said that they will
include some of the same nutrients.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
That alone, curiosity alone. I wonder what this tastes like?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Right?
Speaker 5 (20:30):
I would be curious.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
O make a three energy boosting lactosereat what I mean
a lot of water for hydration? I had breast milk.
I'd be curious. I was that curious. I don't think
I was ever that curious.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
I'd be curious. What does that taste like? I don't know.
Is it awful?
Speaker 2 (20:53):
It can't be. Babies love it?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Well, it's their only option usually, Yeah, for good reason.
Do you want your jeffardy question?
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Good lord, go plow my head into a wall again,
just like the Nazis. Okay, Nazis didn't do everything.
Speaker 5 (21:11):
We opened the Nazi box, and we shouldn't have more
face facts for twelve.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
The hongi, a greeting in which one presses their nose
and forehead against another's, is practiced by this New Zealand people.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
What are the maori?
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Yes, good job, I'm impressed.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
See could you imagine if we had to greet people
by pressing our foreheads and noses.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
Against the space?
Speaker 2 (21:45):
I could I could do two or three greetings at
a time.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Yuk yuck. I would say hello to nobody.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Can we say the thing that you're the bird thing?
Speaker 5 (21:56):
What bird thing?
Speaker 3 (21:58):
That the you're?
Speaker 7 (21:59):
You're?
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Her daughter made she, uh what need needle point?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
She made me a beautiful needle point that says great
tits on it. And there's two beautiful birds birds. They're
beautiful yellow and brown birds. Yes, I have it up
in my spare room. People love it. There's a problem
with light when it comes to those birds.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Is that all right? Is that right?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Yes? Yes, that's right.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
What is it affect?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
I'll tell you when we come back.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
Okay, Why are they called that?
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I think that came before the the euphemism for other parts,
the tatas. Yes, the Tatas rangers. That sounds like a
fun team.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Eurasian and African members of the bird.
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Family are referred to as tits. Well.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
North American species are either called chickadees or tit mice.
The name titmouse is recorded from the fourteenth century, composed
of the Old English name for the bird, uh and uh,
the tea word denoting something small interesting. I did not
know that I didn't know that that's what that meant.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I didn't either, because that's not what the general euphemism
would be.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
They can be small.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
No, no, I'm not saying they can't be I'm just saying,
if you were to refer to them using that word,
how close are we to the edge here? I feel
very very close. I'm not looking to mel Gibson for
my advice.
Speaker 5 (23:39):
I mean I.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Basically ended up over the edge and then kind of
crawled my way back to tea word there towards the
end and flung the body back off the edge. And
now we're clinging to life once again.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
These birds again because we're from North America. Even though
go ahead way that they have fewer young in their
nesting boxes when those nesting boxes are in the city,
and study from Switzerland suggests that the reason for this
is light pollution. The SEMPOC or Anithological Institute, compared the
(24:16):
hatching rate of Great chick chickadees nesting in the forest
with those in the city, and they said it's very
clear more of the young hatch when the great chickadeese
constantly warm their eggs during the night, but they only
do this in the forest because if they are among
(24:36):
or if they're around light, they tend to be more
restless and more brightly lit to chickadeese.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
So when you turn the lights on, the great chickadees don't.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Like to breed.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
They become restless. Interestingly, we move around a little bit
more and they don't sit as calmly. What is that,
Oh it's a fish?
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Oh sorry.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
We have nineteen televisions here because Gary demanded them.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I did not, and I said, put those out there
in here because nobody can see those out.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
I know what happened, but it makes a better story
this way.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I demanded there be nineteen TV.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
And on one of them is some sort of cooking
show and there's a big fish, but I couldn't see
because it was super zoomed in, so you couldn't really
tell it. You could tell it was a food item
on a plate, but you couldn't really tell what it
was you were looking at.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
It was too close. Yeah. Yeah, uh.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
They said that I can't do the whole fish thing
that comes to the table, the literal whole fish.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I can't do it.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
I don't like to know where my food actually comes from.
Like I understand that it's don't like yeah, like, I
know that it's chicken that I'm eating, but I don't
need the whole thing thing to prance on the table.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
The beak got all of it the feet. Light pollution,
they said, also dulls the chickadees sense of direction, especially
on nights with fog and indense clouds, and when they
return from their wintering grounds, they orient themselves by the stars,
among other things, which is why they depend on the
actual stars at night on their journey, as opposed to
(26:22):
the artificial stars in terms of street lights and things
like that.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Did you know that.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
While some birds learn songs from their fathers and others
learn continuously from neighbors, great tits are believed to do
so to do most of their learning in the first
ten to eleven months of life, so they say, it
leads to a final crystallized song repertoire that remains relatively
(26:50):
stable afterward. They learn all their songs in the first
ten or eleven months, and then that's kind of it interesting.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I didn't that never crossed my mind about where they
would learn their songs from, or.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
That they evolve. I mean, I would guess that you,
I mean, how many songs do they know?
Speaker 3 (27:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
I mean there's a bird song for probably for for breeding.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
There's a bird song for hey, look at that, there's
food over there, there's a bird song for hey, look
at that nice great tit over there. There's probably a
bird song for oh, look out, there's a hawk.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
You know.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I mean they're danger and food and love. What else
do you need a song for?
Speaker 2 (27:33):
You nailed it? Why do we have so many words
in our language for it? We only need three?
Speaker 5 (27:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (27:40):
