Speaker 2 (00:09):
When the players had that fruit plate.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Brought to them, oh oh yeah, that was and the
guys in the booth were like, that fruit looks pretty good.
I haven't eaten since five o'clock, and the other one
was like, I could do some fruit, and I'm like, man,
that pineapple looks really good.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
So I got some pineapple yesterday. Finally, to.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Quench that craving, Paramount has renewed John Stewart's deal to
continue hosting Comedy Central's The Daily Show through the midterms
next year, about a year contract.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
This is.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
It's a nice job that John Stewart has right now
because he only has to host that show one day
a week. Everybody else Tuesday through Thursday is hosted by
somebody else. So we could get a deal like that
where we hosted the show one day a week and
the head other.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
People host the other fourteen How would we want to
do that? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I don't want to just work one day a week.
I like coming here every day.
Speaker 4 (01:04):

you said, oh, that secret surprise episode shows up over
the weekends.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Before we get into today's election day and the four
big ones to focus on nationwide, want to talk about
what Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said today about the government
shutdown injecting more risk into air travel.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
It's where we kick off swamp Watch.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar.
I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipop.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Here we got the real problem is that our leaders
are done.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
The other side never quits.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
So what I'm not going anywhere so that you train the.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Squad I can imagine what can be and be unburdened
by what has been. You know, nervans have always been
going act president. They're not stupid.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Whether people voted for you were nice, swap watch they're
all countera So.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said today at a press conference
that air traffic controllers he's spoken with told him that
some could manage missing one paycheck, but none could miss too,
which will happen early next week, and that at that
point it's quite the pressure point, he says, that would
inject chaos into the error system.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Yeah, this was him this morning talking about this.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
If you bring us to a week from today, Democrats,
you will see mass chaos. You will see mass flight delays,
you'll see mass cancelations, and you may see us close
certain parts of the airspace because we just cannot manage
it because we don't have the air traffic controlers.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
You made a great point yesterday in terms of how
many of us would be able to skip a couple
of paychecks.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Even if you knew something like this was coming.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I mean, the idea of a government shutdown is obviously
not new, and if you're an air traffic controller, you're
sort of always at the You may always be paying
attention to when the next government shutdown is coming, but
then for it to actually materialize and for it to
last a record amount of time. I think we've tied
the record today. If it's we still have government shutdown tomorrow,
(03:40):
which we will, then it would set the new record
for the lengthiest government shutdown. But to plan ahead, to
plan your finances, to figure out how you're going to
do this, to ask forgiveness from utility companies, from your
mortgage company, to figure out, hey, I will I am
good for it, but I just don't have the money
(04:01):
as of yet. Today is election day. Four big things
that they're talking about that are going on in election
day two gubernatorial races, one in New Jersey, one in Virginia.
As of right now, both of those races are led
by Democrats. And then when it comes to New York City,
(04:25):
obviously the big discussion is Zoron Mamdani, this young thirty
something Democratic socialist who wants to give away the entire
house to everybody there in New York City, free bus rides,
free food, free this free that he is leading Andrew Cuomo,
who is running as an independent now, and then Curtis Sliwa,
(04:50):
the Republican who is also in the race, is coming
in third. Then of course you've got Prop fifty. In
Prop fifty, we spent last hour talking about a bunch
of it, including the changes would include changes that go
into the congressional maps for the state of California.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Trump is taken to truth Social today and said that
the proposal is a giant scam, that the voting process
itself is rigged, and stay tuned. He wrote about maybe
them looking into the voting process in California. Newsom has
just hit back on Twitter, saying that these are the
ramblings of an old man that knows he's about to lose.
And as I mentioned, this is not Newsom versus Trump
(05:31):
in any way. Like I said, passing a measure that
is beneficial to Democrats in California is not a giant feat.
It is a Tuesday, particularly an election day Tuesday. But yes,
it's not something that you are hurtling over to get
that done. So it's not as much as Newsome wants
(05:53):
to frame it as Newsom versus Trump, and he's.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Going to come out on top.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
It is not Newsome versus Trump, you know, And you.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Bring up a good point there. There something that was
about Gavin Newsom. We were talking earlier about the La
Times article suggesting that this is a pivotal for his future.
For Gavin Newsom's future, and one of the issues that
was brought up in that article was that he put
a moratorium on the death penalty here in California.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Despite the fact that it had passed.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Keeping the death penalty had passed twice by voters in California.
That's the only thing I think in the last twenty
or thirty years of being in or aware of California
and the politics, those are the only two I think
that had surprised me was that as liberal as California
can be, voters still wanted to maintain the death penalty
(06:48):
and capital punishment in the state of California. Other than that,
like you said, passing a very democratic friendly proposition like
Prop fifty is not that difficult here in the state
of colt California, And they didn't need to raise as
much money.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
As they did. But hey, everybody wants to throw money it.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Diddy is bragging to everyone at prison and Fort Dix,
where he is serving a fifty month sentence for violating
the Man Act. He says that he's well, he's been
bragging that Trump is going to pardon him next year.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I'm telling people he's not gonna.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Ooh, already interrupt.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
He's already interrupte oh, I love a chase in the morning.
LAPD pursuit, this one in Vernon. They are on let's
see State Street that they were just on.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Sloss in there. This is an suv, a white suv.
What making model would you call that?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I'm looking at what I believe is an.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Audi Okay, yeah, it's got that.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
The Audi SUV's it seemed to me, seemed to me
to be a bit bigger.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I don't know if it's true.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I could be wrong, he'd be wrong.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
I'll take a close look at that in the break,
and when we come back, I have a making model
for you.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
No, just got oh second code just just entered the
intersection against the light and got into two stronger than
fender benders, weaker than crashes with two different vehicles.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Not enough to damage this vehicle in any way that's
going to stop.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
But enough to show us that this person does not give.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Two f's State engage is where the collisions took place,
and he still headed off of State. Just took that
little jog on mission place there again in that sort
of Vernon Huntington Park areas.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, and he is not following the speed limit. And
very very residential area is here.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
You know, there's a lot of residents that live in
those residential no.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I love it when people describe them as very residential.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
We'll come back and bring you updates on this.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Forty Suspect Custody, Malabar and East Gage.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
It looks like down in Huntington Park.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
He tried to make his way through an intersection, kind
of got tangled up with another car as he was
making his way through, and the the white Mercedes SUV
that he was in went through a like a construction
fence into a parking lot.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
He jumps out, runs a bat walk away.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
He looked like a little Buddhas statue come to life,
a little.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Short man, the little bald man with a big Buddha belly.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
And man was it a belly?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Oh, it was a belly.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
He was having a hard time. First of all, the
reason we know that is because he was not wearing
a shirt. He was wearing white sweatpants and black jonies, okay,
which we found out after he made like four steps
and his pants fell.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
He tried to make a run for it when the
Lord is or the no, you could say it. I
was trying to think about Buddhism, Oh and the Buddha
that when the Buddha has blessed you with a Buddha
belly that large, yes, you're not going to get very
far on foot.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Sir, well, I have questions about a car chase. If
if you were in a car chase, is there anything
in your closet that would fall off of your hips
completely as you ran?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Well, okay, that's hurtful.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
No, No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that.
I meant, do you own clothes?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
My hips consider clothes. But do I have loose enough pants.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Or bedroom apartment?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Mm?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
No, I do not.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
I don't have pants that would fall off of me
like I don't think.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Well, a lot of people wear baggy pants.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
That's true, especially when they're in a car chase.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I mean, how many times have we seen guys in
baggy pants, holding their pants up when they run from
the cops all the time.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Maybe that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Maybe I remember, if I remember from my critical thinking
class in college, we see people in car chases with
baggy pants. Not everybody wears baggy pants, and not everybody's
in car chase, but maybe everybody who wears baggy pants
(11:04):
leads police on a car chase.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
No, is there doing it wrong?
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Is there the hole in there somewhere?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah, listen, you're not a critical thinker. I don't mean
to like.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Okay, all right? Is this because of the hips thing?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
We have a chance for you to win one thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Us, Oh, we have been doing it for quite some time.
Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Reminder that today is election Day.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
We're going to be doing our election night coverage tonight
with Chris Merrill and Michael Monks. President Trump endorsed Andrew Cuomo.
He held his nose and endorsed Andrew Cuomo in the
New York City mayor's race today ahead of Zora on MAM.
Donnie Trump posted on True Social last night, whether you
(12:39):
personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice.
That's such a the coldest endorsement I think I've ever seen.
He said you must vote for him and hope he
does a fantastic job. He is capable of it, Mom,
Donnie is not.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Two men in Massachusetts arrested today in connection with a
weekend explosion at Harvard Med School. It happened early Saturday
on the fourth floor of the Harvard Med School's Goldensen Building.
It houses labs and offices associated with the school's neurobiology department.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
No one was injured. According to the charging document.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Witnesss say the men were visiting Wentworth College for Halloween
activities parties at area schools. They walked towards Harvard's Med School,
they caught on video. They chose the building because it
looked abandon got into it via the roof. They lit
a Roman candle outside the building, placed a cherry bomb
inside of a locker in the building, then exploded it. Well,
(13:36):
what the heck just for? Just to create chaos? Doesn't
make a lot of sense, is it, son. I like
fireworks and stuff like that, but.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
You want to set off a bomb in an abandoned building? Odd?
Speaker 8 (13:48):
Hey Hey Gary Shan love you guys. You're great, You're
keeping you laughing. But I just had a realization. You
guys in the twenty first century equivalent of George Burns
and Gracie Allen Grambling, you guys have a great day, right.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Thank you Burns and Allan.
Speaker 8 (14:05):
Hey.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Gary, Hey Shannon, Hey, Gary, I hear you have a
tattoo on your your buttocks of Oracles Stadium?
Speaker 8 (14:14):
Is that true?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Is that why you wear a speedo?
Speaker 5 (14:17):
All right, Gary, your stud good job.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
If I had a tattoo on my buttocks, why would
I wear the speedo to cover the tattoo.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Well, it's a very it's a thong speedo. It is, Yeah,
it's racing strike an ass less speedo. I don't know
how that would work, I mean, Brazilian speedo. Would you
get a tattoo of Oracle Park? Would that be the
park you got? If you were to tattoo your ass.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
What would it be on my butt?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I mean, as much as I loved Candlestick, I would
not tattoo Candlestick on my ass.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
First of all, yes, never mind, I wanted to know
what self deprecating line was going to come out of
your mouth.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
It would make Candlestick You could do so small. Candlestick
Park has never looked so small.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
You can do Candlestick Park and Candlestick Point and good
section of the bay right there.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Oh my god, what were we talking about?
Speaker 4 (15:22):
I think I could see the Bay Bridge from here. Seriously,
what were we talking?
Speaker 3 (15:30):
We were talking about layoffs and people finance jobs and AI.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
This is getting crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Obviously, training AI has become a job. The AI giants,
those companies that are coming down the pike with all
these new AI tools desperately need money and energy and information.
We know that, right That's that's how they have started,
(15:55):
or that's how they've gotten to where they are now,
that's how they progressed, but they also need at this point,
they still need humans in the process. CEOs for these
AI companies have promised there will be people in the
pipeline the entire time, somewhat as a safeguard. I think
that's the kind of a feeling, but it's not clear
(16:16):
if that means that humans would be the ones making
the consequential decisions, or that we would simply review all
of the work that the AI has done and then
take the wheel in case of an emergency, which would
amount to unplugging the computer. We've all seen that movie
where you try to unplug the computer and it still goes.
(16:40):
They say that right now, humans are a key part
of the loop that act as mechanical turks of generative
AI magic, like the eighteenth century chess automaton that was
steered by a hidden master. They said that AI trainers
perform unseen labor to make machines appear smarter than they
(17:00):
actually are.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
There are.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Different companies using different AI models that they have then
kind of pear down, steer in the right direction, if
you want to call it. That change the queries that
you use to figure. It's to help AI figure things out.
Uber announced it a new initiative to allow drivers to
perform some simple AI tasks to make money during the
times they're not driving. Things like help self driving tech
(17:28):
companies develop tech that would help train robots to drive
and eventually put Uber drivers out of business. Amazon announced
augmented reality glasses this month that are designed to help
delivery drivers do their jobs more safely.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
We're just talking to somebody who works here who used
AI for for his job purposes, and you said to him, oh,
so you use an AI now, And he goes, yeah,
I gave up.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
It works really well. He is that all the time
for everything.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
I'm not saying I haven't. I haven't used it.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
In fact, I'm pretty astounded at the things that it
would come up with. For example, as specific as you
want a fireball in your backyard or fire pit or
whatever they call they call them, you can tell almost
any one of these different AI prompts, rock Chat ept,
(18:26):
whichever one, come up with a list of five fireballs
that would fit my backyard or fit appropriately, that would
have this kind of ignition, the old fashion or the
Bluetooth ignition or however, or that would fit in with
my home automation system that I have, and it will
(18:46):
come up with it will come up with this list
for you, and in some cases provide you the links
to the website where you can buy that thing in
a moment, well not on whatever research you were going
to do for weeks at a time. I know takes
place in sex.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
It's wonderful and you don't even need to seek it out.
Your AI solutions come to you most of the time
if you're just googling.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
That's the worrisome part is files all of it. All
of the web browsers now, Microsoft, edge Ye, Safari, they
they will put their AI results up front.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Yeah, because a lot of time it actually.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Answers your question more more succinctly than it would if
you were to go through and try to find that
same information.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I wonder if they have done something to get rid
of the hallucinations that were picking up steam in terms
of people knowing about them, of AI just making things up,
Like what was the purpose of the AI hallucinations where
it would just make things up?
Speaker 4 (19:44):
What was the purpose of that?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Was that to see how dumb we are, to see
if we fall for everything?
Speaker 4 (19:49):
If the computer was probing to see how dumb we were.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Yeah, Like, I want to know more about those, like
if they're not happening anymore, and if when they were,
if they were put in there for a specific purpose.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I was talking to a friend who works in the
visual arts and we were discussing the visuals of AI
and how they've changed recently, recently within the last few
weeks of it's so much better now, even the still images,
the moving images that have come out that don't do
(20:22):
things like the hands were always really hard for AI
to get accurate, and you could see if you looked
closely at some of these videos, fingers would meld into
each other and then separate and they would be extra hands,
and that was really hard for it to figure out.
The newly created videos have figured that out, so whatever,
(20:42):
as it continues to learn from itself and continues to
learn from our feedback, which is that didn't look like
a real hand, it's got to be doing the same
thing when it comes to those hallucinations that you're talking about.
If we can give it the feedback of that doesn't
make sense, that never happened, you know, it will tell itself,
teach itself not to make up stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
We hope, Well, legos.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
We all have fallen into the addiction of legos at
some point in our life. Some people are having their
lego addictions take over their homes. They're knocking off walls,
down walls, the o They're changing things around, they're building
these lego worlds now. Because legos have become so vast,
you can do anything, you know, plant life, everything.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
It's a little too much for me. As a matter
of fact, it's too much for you. I'm of a
purest when it comes to my legos.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Well, I'm going to introduce you to a guy named
Steve Is from Omaha, Nebraska who says, I think I'm
gonna have to get a bigger house.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Gona need a big because of his legos.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
Love Legos. I've always loved legos.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Jealous of my son he had a whole lot more
Legos and I did as a kid. In fact, some
of the Legos that he had as a kid were
Legos that I had as a kid that we stole
from my parents.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Christy North is fifty five and she lives in Salt
Lake City. Her home has undergone multiple construction projects.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Kind of Lake Legos.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Himself, but her home has undergone multiple construction projects, including
tearing down walls to make room for her toy projects.
She's an executive at a mortgage company, and Christy North
says she's spent north of one hundred thousand dollars to
build her Lego World and the space to display it.
(22:42):
That includes exclude, excuse me, that excludes costs for the
large Lego mosaic she commissioned for outside the basement room
that has become her Lego lair. She said, I kept
exayic that sounds beautiful. I kept wanting to make it
bigger and better, she says of her Lego Town. She
(23:02):
started building it three years ago. She had just bought
her first Lego kit to stave off boredom during the pandemic,
and now she says, Legos feed her soul. She opens
the door to her Lego room via a fingerprint scanner.
She is considering adding cameras around it so she can
(23:26):
view it while she's traveling.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Okay, that's too far. It is a little too far.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
I mean, I know that they do make some kits
that have moving aspects to them.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
But what I think Christy is.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Dealing with something, you know, that has nothing to do
with Legos. But whatever, if it helps her, then it
helps her.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
The biggest Lego sets that are out there now can
be several hundred dollars and can have thousands and thousands
of pieces, and they're big.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Steve Iso is thirty nine. He is from Oman, Nebraska.
He's a CFO for a tech company, and he says
that his dining table and buffet have been commandeered by
Lego sets built by him and three of his children,
as has his office. Says, Spaceships dangle from the ceiling
(24:19):
via fishing wire. He says, he says, I think I'll
just have to get a bigger house. In the past
four years, he's put together two hundred and seventy five.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Sets, including the Titanic oof. There is about a five
foot tall Eiffel tower that he put together. He says,
it's not a toy.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Yes it is, but it's a smart person's toy.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
He says, it's a sophisticated interlocking brick system. His wife.
Should you ask? I know you were dying to know
about his wife. She says, the plastic bricks are not
necessarily in line with their homes, a modern farmhouse esthetic.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
That's what That's what wives always say, by the way,
when it comes to legos.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
But she's glad her husband and children find pleasure in them.
But she has banned lego displays in the bedroom.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I hope.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
So that's like a stuffed animal, she.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Says, it's a slippery slope.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
It's like a stuffed animal. My rule is, or was,
never date a girl who has stuffed animals on her bed.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
A lot of girls have stuffed animals on their beds.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Then they're out of my Then I have already pared
down my potential mates.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Okay, you're the one male with a list.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
What the list?
Speaker 1 (25:41):
It's the thing women do. I will not date a
guy that insert thing here. I will not date a
guy that does this. I will not dat a guy
that does that.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Then I will I.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Will have sex with anything.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Well, then I'll I will restate that because you're right
to clarify if you medicine not get it, knew a
relationship with a girl with stuff on her bed.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
I completely agree with Gary. Thank you.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
With my life experience, I feel like everyone that's had
like a stuff Dan wonderbad over thirty has been problematic.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Yeah really yeah, no, lie, yeah not they're they're not that.
They're not fun. Yeah, starting to stumble.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Now they're crazy pants.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
But you gotta you know, you know, you don't want
to stick around.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
You gotta have good health insurance.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Seattle architect Jeff Palatier says that he has helped design
plans for about twenty five houses since the pandemic that
have included specific rooms for Legos. Ninety percent of those
rooms for legos were for adult rooms for legos. He
(26:56):
has one Lego room for his own kids and is
planning another one for him self in a backyard pool house.
Must be nice to have a backyard pool house in Seattle.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Yeah, that doesn't make a lot of sense elsewhere. He said.
He's tried to cultivate little moments of Lego.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
A brick botanical arrangement on a cabinet of Lego version
of very famous paintings, et cetera.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
That's where you lose me. I'm a I'm a Lego purist.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
When when Lego started doing things like uh, they used
to just give you boxes of different bricks without real
without a real pattern to them. They developed into the
Lego city. They had the Lego Space, they had Lego
fire departments.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Don't you have any like horse and Buggy music or
like the oldest music you can find.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
To talk about the first Legos those have been like.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Back in my day, you just gotta's got a box
of bricks.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Some of them you could chew, others you shouldn't. But
when you start getting into that look like flowers and
paintings beautiful. I love those. I think that's appeals more
to women, honestly. Yeah, yeah, what this isn't very this
isn't old. We're looking for something from Denmark from like
(28:18):
the late fifties. No, that would be well, I mean
that's where Lego came from.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I'm looking for something from the eighteen hundred, all right,
from Gary's time we'll.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Talk it is still about the hips thing. Oh my god.
Obviously it's closer.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
It's a little closer.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Although this sounds like Pirates of the Caribbean sung in
a foreign language, hit the thing you've been listening to

Speaker 2 (00:09):
When the players had that fruit plate.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Brought to them, oh oh yeah, that was and the
guys in the booth were like, that fruit looks pretty good.
I haven't eaten since five o'clock, and the other one
was like, I could do some fruit, and I'm like, man,
that pineapple looks really good.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
So I got some pineapple yesterday. Finally, to.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Quench that craving, Paramount has renewed John Stewart's deal to
continue hosting Comedy Central's The Daily Show through the midterms
next year, about a year contract.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
This is.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
It's a nice job that John Stewart has right now
because he only has to host that show one day
a week. Everybody else Tuesday through Thursday is hosted by
somebody else. So we could get a deal like that
where we hosted the show one day a week and
the head other.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
People host the other fourteen How would we want to
do that? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I don't want to just work one day a week.
I like coming here every day.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Oh you're not here on Saturdays?
Speaker 2 (01:06):

you said, oh, that secret surprise episode shows up over
the weekends.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Before we get into today's election day and the four
big ones to focus on nationwide, want to talk about
what Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said today about the government
shutdown injecting more risk into air travel.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
It's where we kick off swamp Watch.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
I'm a politician, which means I'm a cheat and a liar.
I'm not kissing babies, I'm stealing their lollipop.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Here we got the real problem is that our leaders
are done.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
The other side never quits.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
So what I'm not going anywhere so that you train the.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Squad I can imagine what can be and be unburdened
by what has been. You know, nervans have always been
going act president. They're not stupid.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
A political flunder is when a politician actually tells the truth.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Whether people voted for you were nice, swap watch they're
all countera So.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said today at a press conference
that air traffic controllers he's spoken with told him that
some could manage missing one paycheck, but none could miss too,
which will happen early next week, and that at that
point it's quite the pressure point, he says, that would
inject chaos into the error system.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Yeah, this was him this morning talking about this.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
If you bring us to a week from today, Democrats,
you will see mass chaos. You will see mass flight delays,
you'll see mass cancelations, and you may see us close
certain parts of the airspace because we just cannot manage
it because we don't have the air traffic controlers.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
You made a great point yesterday in terms of how
many of us would be able to skip a couple
of paychecks.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Even if you knew something like this was coming.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I mean, the idea of a government shutdown is obviously
not new, and if you're an air traffic controller, you're
sort of always at the You may always be paying
attention to when the next government shutdown is coming, but
then for it to actually materialize and for it to
last a record amount of time. I think we've tied
the record today. If it's we still have government shutdown tomorrow,
(03:40):
which we will, then it would set the new record
for the lengthiest government shutdown. But to plan ahead, to
plan your finances, to figure out how you're going to
do this, to ask forgiveness from utility companies, from your
mortgage company, to figure out, hey, I will I am
good for it, but I just don't have the money
(04:01):
as of yet. Today is election day. Four big things
that they're talking about that are going on in election
day two gubernatorial races, one in New Jersey, one in Virginia.
As of right now, both of those races are led
by Democrats. And then when it comes to New York City,
(04:25):
obviously the big discussion is Zoron Mamdani, this young thirty
something Democratic socialist who wants to give away the entire
house to everybody there in New York City, free bus rides,
free food, free this free that he is leading Andrew Cuomo,
who is running as an independent now, and then Curtis Sliwa,
(04:50):
the Republican who is also in the race, is coming
in third. Then of course you've got Prop fifty. In
Prop fifty, we spent last hour talking about a bunch
of it, including the changes would include changes that go
into the congressional maps for the state of California.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Trump is taken to truth Social today and said that
the proposal is a giant scam, that the voting process
itself is rigged, and stay tuned. He wrote about maybe
them looking into the voting process in California. Newsom has
just hit back on Twitter, saying that these are the
ramblings of an old man that knows he's about to lose.
And as I mentioned, this is not Newsom versus Trump
(05:31):
in any way. Like I said, passing a measure that
is beneficial to Democrats in California is not a giant feat.
It is a Tuesday, particularly an election day Tuesday. But yes,
it's not something that you are hurtling over to get
that done. So it's not as much as Newsome wants
(05:53):
to frame it as Newsom versus Trump, and he's.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Going to come out on top.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
It is not Newsome versus Trump, you know, And you.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Bring up a good point there. There something that was
about Gavin Newsom. We were talking earlier about the La
Times article suggesting that this is a pivotal for his future.
For Gavin Newsom's future, and one of the issues that
was brought up in that article was that he put
a moratorium on the death penalty here in California.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Despite the fact that it had passed.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Keeping the death penalty had passed twice by voters in California.
That's the only thing I think in the last twenty
or thirty years of being in or aware of California
and the politics, those are the only two I think
that had surprised me was that as liberal as California
can be, voters still wanted to maintain the death penalty
(06:48):
and capital punishment in the state of California. Other than that,
like you said, passing a very democratic friendly proposition like
Prop fifty is not that difficult here in the state
of colt California, And they didn't need to raise as
much money.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
As they did. But hey, everybody wants to throw money it.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Diddy is bragging to everyone at prison and Fort Dix,
where he is serving a fifty month sentence for violating
the Man Act. He says that he's well, he's been
bragging that Trump is going to pardon him next year.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I'm telling people he's not gonna.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Ooh, already interrupt.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
He's already interrupte oh, I love a chase in the morning.
LAPD pursuit, this one in Vernon. They are on let's
see State Street that they were just on.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Sloss in there. This is an suv, a white suv.
What making model would you call that?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I'm looking at what I believe is an.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Audi Okay, yeah, it's got that.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
The Audi SUV's it seemed to me, seemed to me
to be a bit bigger.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I don't know if it's true.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
I could be wrong, he'd be wrong.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
I'll take a close look at that in the break,
and when we come back, I have a making model
for you.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
No, just got oh second code just just entered the
intersection against the light and got into two stronger than
fender benders, weaker than crashes with two different vehicles.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Not enough to damage this vehicle in any way that's
going to stop.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
But enough to show us that this person does not give.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Two f's State engage is where the collisions took place,
and he still headed off of State. Just took that
little jog on mission place there again in that sort
of Vernon Huntington Park areas.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, and he is not following the speed limit. And
very very residential area is here.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
You know, there's a lot of residents that live in
those residential no.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I love it when people describe them as very residential.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
We'll come back and bring you updates on this.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Forty Suspect Custody, Malabar and East Gage.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
It looks like down in Huntington Park.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
He tried to make his way through an intersection, kind
of got tangled up with another car as he was
making his way through, and the the white Mercedes SUV
that he was in went through a like a construction
fence into a parking lot.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
He jumps out, runs a bat walk away.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
He looked like a little Buddhas statue come to life,
a little.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Short man, the little bald man with a big Buddha belly.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
And man was it a belly?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Oh, it was a belly.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
He was having a hard time. First of all, the
reason we know that is because he was not wearing
a shirt. He was wearing white sweatpants and black jonies, okay,
which we found out after he made like four steps
and his pants fell.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
He tried to make a run for it when the
Lord is or the no, you could say it. I
was trying to think about Buddhism, Oh and the Buddha
that when the Buddha has blessed you with a Buddha
belly that large, yes, you're not going to get very
far on foot.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Sir, well, I have questions about a car chase. If
if you were in a car chase, is there anything
in your closet that would fall off of your hips
completely as you ran?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Well, okay, that's hurtful.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
No, No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that.
I meant, do you own clothes?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
My hips consider clothes. But do I have loose enough pants.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Or bedroom apartment?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Mm?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
No, I do not.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
I don't have pants that would fall off of me
like I don't think.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Well, a lot of people wear baggy pants.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
That's true, especially when they're in a car chase.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I mean, how many times have we seen guys in
baggy pants, holding their pants up when they run from
the cops all the time.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
Maybe that's the thing.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Maybe I remember, if I remember from my critical thinking
class in college, we see people in car chases with
baggy pants. Not everybody wears baggy pants, and not everybody's
in car chase, but maybe everybody who wears baggy pants
(11:04):
leads police on a car chase.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
No, is there doing it wrong?
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Is there the hole in there somewhere?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Yeah, listen, you're not a critical thinker. I don't mean
to like.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Okay, all right? Is this because of the hips thing?
Speaker 3 (11:17):

Gary and Shannon will continue.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Reminder that today is election Day.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
We're going to be doing our election night coverage tonight
with Chris Merrill and Michael Monks. President Trump endorsed Andrew Cuomo.
He held his nose and endorsed Andrew Cuomo in the
New York City mayor's race today ahead of Zora on MAM.
Donnie Trump posted on True Social last night, whether you
(12:39):
personally like Andrew Cuomo or not, you really have no choice.
That's such a the coldest endorsement I think I've ever seen.
He said you must vote for him and hope he
does a fantastic job. He is capable of it, Mom,
Donnie is not.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Two men in Massachusetts arrested today in connection with a
weekend explosion at Harvard Med School. It happened early Saturday
on the fourth floor of the Harvard Med School's Goldensen Building.
It houses labs and offices associated with the school's neurobiology department.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
No one was injured. According to the charging document.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Witnesss say the men were visiting Wentworth College for Halloween
activities parties at area schools. They walked towards Harvard's Med School,
they caught on video. They chose the building because it
looked abandon got into it via the roof. They lit
a Roman candle outside the building, placed a cherry bomb
inside of a locker in the building, then exploded it. Well,
(13:36):
what the heck just for? Just to create chaos? Doesn't
make a lot of sense, is it, son. I like
fireworks and stuff like that, but.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
You want to set off a bomb in an abandoned building? Odd?
Speaker 8 (13:48):
Hey Hey Gary Shan love you guys. You're great, You're
keeping you laughing. But I just had a realization. You
guys in the twenty first century equivalent of George Burns
and Gracie Allen Grambling, you guys have a great day, right.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Thank you Burns and Allan.
Speaker 8 (14:05):
Hey.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Gary, Hey Shannon, Hey, Gary, I hear you have a
tattoo on your your buttocks of Oracles Stadium?
Speaker 8 (14:14):
Is that true?
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Is that why you wear a speedo?
Speaker 5 (14:17):
All right, Gary, your stud good job.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
If I had a tattoo on my buttocks, why would
I wear the speedo to cover the tattoo.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Well, it's a very it's a thong speedo. It is, Yeah,
it's racing strike an ass less speedo. I don't know
how that would work, I mean, Brazilian speedo. Would you
get a tattoo of Oracle Park? Would that be the
park you got? If you were to tattoo your ass.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
What would it be on my butt?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I mean, as much as I loved Candlestick, I would
not tattoo Candlestick on my ass.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
First of all, yes, never mind, I wanted to know
what self deprecating line was going to come out of
your mouth.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
It would make Candlestick You could do so small. Candlestick
Park has never looked so small.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
You can do Candlestick Park and Candlestick Point and good
section of the bay right there.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Oh my god, what were we talking about?
Speaker 4 (15:22):
I think I could see the Bay Bridge from here. Seriously,
what were we talking?
Speaker 3 (15:30):
We were talking about layoffs and people finance jobs and AI.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
This is getting crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Obviously, training AI has become a job. The AI giants,
those companies that are coming down the pike with all
these new AI tools desperately need money and energy and information.
We know that, right That's that's how they have started,
(15:55):
or that's how they've gotten to where they are now,
that's how they progressed, but they also need at this point,
they still need humans in the process. CEOs for these
AI companies have promised there will be people in the
pipeline the entire time, somewhat as a safeguard. I think
that's the kind of a feeling, but it's not clear
(16:16):
if that means that humans would be the ones making
the consequential decisions, or that we would simply review all
of the work that the AI has done and then
take the wheel in case of an emergency, which would
amount to unplugging the computer. We've all seen that movie
where you try to unplug the computer and it still goes.
(16:40):
They say that right now, humans are a key part
of the loop that act as mechanical turks of generative
AI magic, like the eighteenth century chess automaton that was
steered by a hidden master. They said that AI trainers
perform unseen labor to make machines appear smarter than they
(17:00):
actually are.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
There are.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Different companies using different AI models that they have then
kind of pear down, steer in the right direction, if
you want to call it. That change the queries that
you use to figure. It's to help AI figure things out.
Uber announced it a new initiative to allow drivers to
perform some simple AI tasks to make money during the
times they're not driving. Things like help self driving tech
(17:28):
companies develop tech that would help train robots to drive
and eventually put Uber drivers out of business. Amazon announced
augmented reality glasses this month that are designed to help
delivery drivers do their jobs more safely.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
We're just talking to somebody who works here who used
AI for for his job purposes, and you said to him, oh,
so you use an AI now, And he goes, yeah,
I gave up.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
It works really well. He is that all the time
for everything.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
I'm not saying I haven't. I haven't used it.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
In fact, I'm pretty astounded at the things that it
would come up with. For example, as specific as you
want a fireball in your backyard or fire pit or
whatever they call they call them, you can tell almost
any one of these different AI prompts, rock Chat ept,
(18:26):
whichever one, come up with a list of five fireballs
that would fit my backyard or fit appropriately, that would
have this kind of ignition, the old fashion or the
Bluetooth ignition or however, or that would fit in with
my home automation system that I have, and it will
(18:46):
come up with it will come up with this list
for you, and in some cases provide you the links
to the website where you can buy that thing in
a moment, well not on whatever research you were going
to do for weeks at a time. I know takes
place in sex.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
It's wonderful and you don't even need to seek it out.
Your AI solutions come to you most of the time
if you're just googling.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
That's the worrisome part is files all of it. All
of the web browsers now, Microsoft, edge Ye, Safari, they
they will put their AI results up front.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Yeah, because a lot of time it actually.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Answers your question more more succinctly than it would if
you were to go through and try to find that
same information.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
I wonder if they have done something to get rid
of the hallucinations that were picking up steam in terms
of people knowing about them, of AI just making things up,
Like what was the purpose of the AI hallucinations where
it would just make things up?
Speaker 4 (19:44):
What was the purpose of that?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Was that to see how dumb we are, to see
if we fall for everything?
Speaker 4 (19:49):
If the computer was probing to see how dumb we were.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Yeah, Like, I want to know more about those, like
if they're not happening anymore, and if when they were,
if they were put in there for a specific purpose.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I was talking to a friend who works in the
visual arts and we were discussing the visuals of AI
and how they've changed recently, recently within the last few
weeks of it's so much better now, even the still images,
the moving images that have come out that don't do
(20:22):
things like the hands were always really hard for AI
to get accurate, and you could see if you looked
closely at some of these videos, fingers would meld into
each other and then separate and they would be extra hands,
and that was really hard for it to figure out.
The newly created videos have figured that out, so whatever,
(20:42):
as it continues to learn from itself and continues to
learn from our feedback, which is that didn't look like
a real hand, it's got to be doing the same
thing when it comes to those hallucinations that you're talking about.
If we can give it the feedback of that doesn't
make sense, that never happened, you know, it will tell itself,
teach itself not to make up stuff.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
We hope, Well, legos.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
We all have fallen into the addiction of legos at
some point in our life. Some people are having their
lego addictions take over their homes. They're knocking off walls,
down walls, the o They're changing things around, they're building
these lego worlds now. Because legos have become so vast,
you can do anything, you know, plant life, everything.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
It's a little too much for me. As a matter
of fact, it's too much for you. I'm of a
purest when it comes to my legos.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Well, I'm going to introduce you to a guy named
Steve Is from Omaha, Nebraska who says, I think I'm
gonna have to get a bigger house.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Gona need a big because of his legos.
Speaker 5 (21:47):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
Love Legos. I've always loved legos.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Jealous of my son he had a whole lot more
Legos and I did as a kid. In fact, some
of the Legos that he had as a kid were
Legos that I had as a kid that we stole
from my parents.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Christy North is fifty five and she lives in Salt
Lake City. Her home has undergone multiple construction projects.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Kind of Lake Legos.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Himself, but her home has undergone multiple construction projects, including
tearing down walls to make room for her toy projects.
She's an executive at a mortgage company, and Christy North
says she's spent north of one hundred thousand dollars to
build her Lego World and the space to display it.
(22:42):
That includes exclude, excuse me, that excludes costs for the
large Lego mosaic she commissioned for outside the basement room
that has become her Lego lair. She said, I kept
exayic that sounds beautiful. I kept wanting to make it
bigger and better, she says of her Lego Town. She
(23:02):
started building it three years ago. She had just bought
her first Lego kit to stave off boredom during the pandemic,
and now she says, Legos feed her soul. She opens
the door to her Lego room via a fingerprint scanner.
She is considering adding cameras around it so she can
(23:26):
view it while she's traveling.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
Okay, that's too far. It is a little too far.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
I mean, I know that they do make some kits
that have moving aspects to them.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
But what I think Christy is.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Dealing with something, you know, that has nothing to do
with Legos. But whatever, if it helps her, then it
helps her.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
The biggest Lego sets that are out there now can
be several hundred dollars and can have thousands and thousands
of pieces, and they're big.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Steve Iso is thirty nine. He is from Oman, Nebraska.
He's a CFO for a tech company, and he says
that his dining table and buffet have been commandeered by
Lego sets built by him and three of his children,
as has his office. Says, Spaceships dangle from the ceiling
(24:19):
via fishing wire. He says, he says, I think I'll
just have to get a bigger house. In the past
four years, he's put together two hundred and seventy five.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Sets, including the Titanic oof. There is about a five
foot tall Eiffel tower that he put together. He says,
it's not a toy.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Yes it is, but it's a smart person's toy.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
He says, it's a sophisticated interlocking brick system. His wife.
Should you ask? I know you were dying to know
about his wife. She says, the plastic bricks are not
necessarily in line with their homes, a modern farmhouse esthetic.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
That's what That's what wives always say, by the way,
when it comes to legos.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
But she's glad her husband and children find pleasure in them.
But she has banned lego displays in the bedroom.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I hope.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
So that's like a stuffed animal, she.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Says, it's a slippery slope.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
It's like a stuffed animal. My rule is, or was,
never date a girl who has stuffed animals on her bed.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
A lot of girls have stuffed animals on their beds.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Then they're out of my Then I have already pared
down my potential mates.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Okay, you're the one male with a list.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
What the list?
Speaker 1 (25:41):
It's the thing women do. I will not date a
guy that insert thing here. I will not date a
guy that does this. I will not dat a guy
that does that.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Then I will I.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Will have sex with anything.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Well, then I'll I will restate that because you're right
to clarify if you medicine not get it, knew a
relationship with a girl with stuff on her bed.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
I completely agree with Gary. Thank you.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
With my life experience, I feel like everyone that's had
like a stuff Dan wonderbad over thirty has been problematic.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Yeah really yeah, no, lie, yeah not they're they're not that.
They're not fun. Yeah, starting to stumble.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Now they're crazy pants.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
But you gotta you know, you know, you don't want
to stick around.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
You gotta have good health insurance.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Seattle architect Jeff Palatier says that he has helped design
plans for about twenty five houses since the pandemic that
have included specific rooms for Legos. Ninety percent of those
rooms for legos were for adult rooms for legos. He
(26:56):
has one Lego room for his own kids and is
planning another one for him self in a backyard pool house.
Must be nice to have a backyard pool house in Seattle.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
Yeah, that doesn't make a lot of sense elsewhere. He said.
He's tried to cultivate little moments of Lego.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
A brick botanical arrangement on a cabinet of Lego version
of very famous paintings, et cetera.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
That's where you lose me. I'm a I'm a Lego purist.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
When when Lego started doing things like uh, they used
to just give you boxes of different bricks without real
without a real pattern to them. They developed into the
Lego city. They had the Lego Space, they had Lego
fire departments.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Don't you have any like horse and Buggy music or
like the oldest music you can find.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
To talk about the first Legos those have been like.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Back in my day, you just gotta's got a box
of bricks.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Some of them you could chew, others you shouldn't. But
when you start getting into that look like flowers and
paintings beautiful. I love those. I think that's appeals more
to women, honestly. Yeah, yeah, what this isn't very this
isn't old. We're looking for something from Denmark from like
(28:18):
the late fifties. No, that would be well, I mean
that's where Lego came from.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
I'm looking for something from the eighteen hundred, all right,
from Gary's time we'll.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Talk it is still about the hips thing. Oh my god.
Obviously it's closer.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
It's a little closer.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
