Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Jon.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
You get paid for your words, Joe pronouncing the T
and the word often it's not pronounced Jesus Christ, it's
not off ten, it's often.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Again, you get paid to speak properly.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Do you think he's mad about?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
You're off ten? Jer what? Wow?
Speaker 4 (00:38):
What do you think he's mad about?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I think his pants are too tight.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Do you think it's the Dodgers' bullpen he's upset about?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I did.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Listen, that's a strong that's a strong, strong contender for
what he's mad about, because there's a lot of people
mad about that bullpen, and I get it.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
But and listen, I'll take it.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I've got strong shoulders to handle your anger about the bullpen.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Listen.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
All I'm saying is that is the more traditional pronunciation
of often is with the tea. It's lately, I mean
recently that it has.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Been often squeezed, kind of slangy to be.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
But it's also as the late Chris Little used to tell.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Us, he's not late. You have to know the rules
to break the rules.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
So when you say something like often or Thursday, you
know how to say them. It's just to push people
like that over the edge. I mean it's not off,
you know, it's not oft that you say.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
It's a thing.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I mean, oft wouldn't be a word if often wasn't
the way you said it.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
I'm not going to die on the often hill.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
No.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
But but that guy's a weird thing to come after
me for.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
But that guy challenged you from the often hill. He
stood up there and said often do you want to fight?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
You put like an apostrophe there. He took out the
tea and it was like often often.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
And then invoke the name of our Lord and saviors.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Brought up Jesus in that hole.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
In a way to prove how angry he was.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Yeah, you he threw out Jesus's whole nay, the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
My goodness about the middle initial.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I'll get a call into Dave Roberts. But here's the thing, guys,
the Dodgers are going to be just fine. You've got Sasaki,
You've got Sheehan, you've got Kershaw, three great pictures, you
get an s ton of runs, you have the starters
go deep.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I think Kershaw's in the bullpen.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
And you hold on tight. What else is going on?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Good question time for what's happening?
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Our trending stories brought to you by Trajan Wealth. The
future of retirement planning and wealth management is here, La
tradean wealth call today two ninety nine sixty. One of
the big stories that has been developing in the last
couple of hours and may actually come to a head today,
is that we might see former FBI director James Comy
(03:14):
indicted on criminal charges.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
You have heard Trump talk about this in recent weeks,
and it's not just a bugaboo. It's not just an
old score to settle. He's damn serious about it.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
Well.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
This comes just after Eric Sebert, who was the interim
US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, who resigned
under pressure or was fired depending on which team you're
with from Trump after opposing the filing of charges against
Comy in the district, suggesting that there was no there
there and not enough to warrant any sort of criminal charges.
(03:52):
But MSNBC is reporting that one part of the indictment
might accuse the former director of the FBI of lying
to Congress about whether he knew about or authorized a
leak or both to the Wall Street Journal. This would
have been for an article about at the time about
Hillary Clinton's email use, so that CNN was reporting that
(04:14):
that could come as soon as today.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Stick season. I thought this was just a song. I
thought this was just a pop song. But stick season
is any time between fall and winter, really from late
October to early December. But apparently Jackie and Shadow are
busy feathering their nests with fluffy bits and other natural
(04:42):
elements to help cushion and hold any eggs.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Fluffy bits, fluffy bits.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Fans have been waiting to see if one or both
the eagles will call upon their nest.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Why is there a car with the nest?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
This is the beginning of the song.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Oh though that was live sounds from Jackie in Shadows next.
If you really loved her that much, you'd get on
the f and plane.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
All right.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Starbucks CEO Brian Nichol says the company is planning to
close underperforming locations. Starbucks have seemed to just pop up overnight,
and some spots, I'm like, why would you put one.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
There when you can literally out the windows.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
See the other one? Yeah, which is a better ingress
and egress. You may often think to yourself, don't do that.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Oh I'm sorry, God, I do oft do that.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
No, But I mean there's there's one Opacadena where I'm like,
why the hell would you do this to this intersection
because it's just so unnatural the points of ingress and
egress for this one Starbucks, and and like you said,
there's another one like one block away, and nobody ever
goes to the one that you can't get in or
out of. So Starbucks says it will be getting rid
of the underperforming locations. Unfortunately, also cutting nine hundred jobs.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Uh share, there's no tea and often.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
I wanted to tell this story only because I didn't
see it yesterday.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I know that some people had referred to it before.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
But as you fly over the desert and you're headed
to I mean even if you're driving to Vegas, but
you see that giant solar farm that's out there, the
Ivanpas Solar Power Facility done. Really, they are closing this
thing cost about two billion dollars to build, began in
twenty ten, was completed in twenty fourteen, will close next
(06:36):
year because it did not efficiently generate solar energy. Not
to mention the fact that it was killing hundreds of birds.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
It was something to look at, and that boring part
of it, that's true. You're just done with the segment
in your head called why can't we build prisons out here?
And you're wrapping that segment up when you get to oh,
there's the weird alien solar panel farm? Is it China?
You wonder no, And then you see the place off
(07:08):
to the right. I forget the name of it, and
you go, oh, I want to gamble so bad. I
might stop there. I might stop there wild bills. And
then you're like, don't stop there. Don't be the guy
that stops there. You don't want to gamble that bad.
And then you just keep going and then you see.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
That I'm almost there. Yeah, that is.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
That is very The first time I drove to Vegas
from LA and you come down that big hill and
you're like, that's it. I thought they would be more
majestic than that, and you're only at state line at that.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Yeah, all right, Well, the weird things that you ate,
we'll talk about that when we come back.
Speaker 8 (07:43):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Uh, that's not a Hugh Grant dance. That's all me.
I'm not basing that on somebody else.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
I apologize.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I don't know why you don't give.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Me credit for those creative moments that I do have.
They're not all they don't happen all the time.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
But do you dance in your latest adult theater production?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Nope?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Oh not not a little bit, not even a little bit.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Have I danced in any of the others?
Speaker 9 (08:15):
Do you?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Oh? Actually I did the last one.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
I did have a moment of dance you did that
ended very quickly.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Now do you have any romantic scenes in this one?
Speaker 6 (08:25):
No? Thank god?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
No, that was so uncomfortable. What are you talking about
the last one? There was a lot of it. Why
were you there isn't a lot of it. I held
her hand at one like forty five minutes I did.
It was forever.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I asked her to marry me.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Whoa you guys what that escalated in the show?
Speaker 9 (08:44):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Okay, you guys were sitting in the front row. Yeah, yeah,
it was uncomfortable for a Richie and I.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah, I know because I could hear you talking about it.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Richie and I shouldn't sit next to each other.
Speaker 10 (08:59):
Remember we were going to sit in the back, and
somehow we managed to get to the Yeah, did I
save you seats?
Speaker 4 (09:05):
It should never be in the front.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
You know that time? Trust me.
Speaker 10 (09:10):
The next one, we're gonna take a little longer at
the Mexican Joint and get more lit.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I think the time before I dropped a bottle of
wine in the middle of the show.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Well you did not.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Okay, shit, it wasn't a bottle of wine, it's gin.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
I never dragged.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
We were talking earlier about people who have eaten one
hundred year old mrs these meals ready to eat and
sort of how they how they came about doing it.
There's a whole community of people online that will find
stuff to eat that's nasty, and I wanted to ask,
what was the craziest things that you've eaten?
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Hi, Gary, Hi Shannon. I can think of two things.
As a child, Apparently my mom didn't like us as
much as she claimed. One time she made us a
pot roast and we ate dinner. Kind of thought to myself, wow,
this has a weird texture all for her to admit
after dinner that it was a cow's tongue. And the
(10:08):
second one is scrambled eggs and brains.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Oh my, where did she grow up?
Speaker 9 (10:15):
Aryan Shannon? This is Raking Clark. So I travel over
the world. I've seen some weird things being eaten. But
my buddy was with me one time. We're in Kenya
and it just rained and all these termites were coming
up out of the ground, and the Kenyans were with
were excited and went over and started eating them. And
my friend just started scooping them up and eating them.
(10:36):
I did not, but then again I have common sense.
Speaker 8 (10:40):
In Japan, I ate live octopus tentacles which were still
squirming around in my mouth.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Oh, I've seen that the octopus is a very smart
being and does not like to be eaten. No, it
probably still lives within you.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
About that, Shannon, Hey, I was in a Marine Corps
boot camp in nineteen sixty nine and some of.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
The k rations we got were surplus from World War Two.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Oh wow, late nineteen forties for me, that.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Can I must admit.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yeah, pretty good. They were pretty good. That's really great.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
They built things better in the forties, Yes, they did.
Speaker 11 (11:29):
The strangest thing I ever eaten was an old box
of cereals g I Joe cereal from I think the
eighties that I got online. I ate most of it.
It tasted like a battery, but it was a good experience.
I also tried human meat a while back, which was okay.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
That I think was a joke question mark. Wait, let's
let's hear that again. Let's see if Let's see if
you was joke.
Speaker 11 (12:00):
It was a good experience. I also tried human meat
a while back, which was okay.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Okay, Well, we don't have to go as dark as
we're going.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
We could go much lighter than that.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
He's probably got a wound on his thigh. I'm hoping
it was his own.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
His own blood. Well, he didn't say blood, he said meat,
which means meat.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
That's what I mean. Yeah, he cut a little chunk
out of his own.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
He cut a chunk out of his own meat.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Where else is he going to get human meat? Richie?
Speaker 6 (12:30):
No, Hey, Cannon, what's up? Gary. The weirdest thing I've
ever eaten, or a couple of the wordest things I've
ever eaten, was.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Salmon, the fish in Alaska.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
Yes, I would eat the still pumping hearts that were
still pumping pretty good out of King salmon. What we
ended up playing it a couple of years that we
went up and did that, and I did that. The
second wordest thing was my Vietnamese buddy brought one hundred
year duck eggs, where the heck they are straight black.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, it's going to be a cultural thing, right, eating
the heart of a salmon.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
That I've never heard of it think maybe be a
Native America.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
It's not that can't be a big I mean, king
salmon can be big, but but the heart is not
going to be I mean it's it could be good
luck maybe.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
For say Shannon So growing up in a Mexican house.
So that had the basics as in cal tonge, calbrain, tripe,
pig feet, pig ears.
Speaker 8 (13:27):
A couple of years ago there was a small dish
of cookies that famous aim Is took up out of
those and they were as.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Sweet as I thought.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
Just to find out later on there were actually treats
from a dog, So thanks.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Bye bye treats from the dog or for the dog,
because I'm hoping it was for the dog, not a
treat from the dog.
Speaker 10 (13:52):
We were camping one time down at the Colorado River
and an unfortunate rettlesnake happened to come into our camp site.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
So we did what any logical person would do.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
We chopped off its head, chopped off the rattles, cut
off its body, fried it up in some batter, and
ate it.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
And yes, it did taste like chicken.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
You know, if you count the rings on the rattle,
I'll tell you how old that snake is.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
I learned that watching Yellowstone. It's a show.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
It's a show, Huh.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I'm now on the I just finished season four, so
I'm about to start the last season, so you don't
have to deal with the nightmare that is me bringing
up an old show for much longer.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Yeah, that show was on a long time ago, all right,
strange science. When we come back to Gary and Shannon, you're.
Speaker 8 (14:46):
Listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM
six forty again.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
One of the headlines today is that Defense Secretary Pete
Hegseth has ordered hundreds of American military brass to gather
at Marine Corps base in Quantico next week Tuesday. Specifically,
the White House hasn't said anything, the Pentagon hasn't given
a reason for this. Nobody has given any reason for this,
(15:14):
and many of the current and former military members who
have spoken to the media about it have said they've
never seen something like this, very very unusual directive sent
around the world to get military leaders in one place
at one time.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Another day, another story about an old woman giving us
clues to how you live a long life.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Who's here for it. It's strange science.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Strange sence.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
It's like weird science, but strange.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
This woman lived to be one hundred and seventeen. And
what did they do. They took her blood, her saliva,
her urine, her stool samples, sloane seriously and they studied
all of those things.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
What did they find?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Well, in Barcelona, they found that she had cells that
felt or behaved as though they were much younger than
her chronological age.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
She lived about thirty years longer than most other women,
than average women in that home of Catalonia. They said
that she had overall very good health, excellent cardiovascular health,
very low levels of inflammation.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
That's the keyword that I saw. The keyword that I
saw was cholesterol. She had extremely low levels of bad cholesterol,
proof that I will live until maybe next week.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Among other things. She had great genetics, obviously that was
a base, but she ate a pretty strict Mediterranean diet,
was very high in yogurt.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
They said.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Extreme longevity probably influenced by a wide range of those
environmental variables. They also said the scientists noticed huge erosion
in her Maria's telomeres, the caps at the end of
her chromosomes. They said, telomars protect our genetic material. The
shorter ones are linked to a higher risk of death,
(17:15):
but suggested that among the oldest of the old, you
know those people, one hundred plus tellomers are not actually
a useful biomarker of aging. In fact, the short telomers
may have helped her with an advantage, they said, hypothetically speaking,
that short lifespan of those body cells may have stopped
cancer from ever proliferating in her body.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
We got to get some more Suzeki sauce around here.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
I'm down with that.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
I am just funnel that stuff just into our moss fine.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
Missions to the Moon, missions to Mars, of course pose
nutritional challenges for the humans that will be going along.
But NASA has a group of volunteers from the Open
Science Data Repository Analysis working Groups that's a very long
business card working together to analyze information on astronaut health.
These teams use a bunch of information to answer basic
(18:10):
science questions. For example, there was a paper that was
put out on space grown food to look at lettuce
grown on the International Space Station and the Chinese space station,
the Tangong two. They found that the crop contained twenty
nine to thirty one percent less calcium and twenty five
(18:30):
percent less magnesium than earth lettuce, which of course falls
short of the requirements for humans in space travel, and
they said there were two challenges. The analysis revealed that
astronauts experienced changes in the expression of one hundred and
sixty three calcium genes. They actually said that would accelerate
(18:52):
bone loss in space. They also explained leaky gut syndrome.
Japanese aerospacex Floration Agency showed that astronauts experience compromised intestinal
barriers due to altered protein production and regulation, likely disrupting
their ability to absorb nutrients, which could make it a problem.
(19:13):
That is some of the really basic biological hurdles that
exist when it comes to trying to get humans to Mars.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Humans to the Moon, We've done it, We're going to
do it again.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
But humans to Mars might be one of those hurdles.
That's too high to jump over.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Coming up, we have some new gene therapy that has
been shown to slow Huntington's disease. Any amount of alcohol
now will give you dementia. There's more of these studies
coming out. One beer or one glass of wine a
day is a problem.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
That's troubling.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Used to be like, you know, you had fifteen pops
a week. Yeah, maybe you want to cut back.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
So what if you don't drink for sick stays and
then have seven drinks on the seventh day.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
I used to wonder that. You know, I'm sure that's
good for your liverer, but I think it's the whole week.
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how you space it out.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Gary and Shanna will continue with strange science.
Speaker 8 (20:15):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I think you'll get through this. I do, I honestly do.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
I know that your back hurts, but you'll get it's
not probably doesn't even hurt.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
You just feel tight. Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, sure, it's fine.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Dodgers game has started, by the way, they could clinch
the division today.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
If I need you to help me go to the bathroom, tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I'll point you to the right one. There.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
There is some new gene therapy that apparently slows the
progression of Huntington's disease. Experimental treatment a company called Unicure
announced this week a rare, hopeful advance against this disease
that can rob people of control of their body and
their minds even in the prime of their life. People
(21:08):
with Huntington's often developed symptoms in their forties that progress
to severe disability and death over the course of about
two decades. It's a slow, awful way to go, but
they said the gene that causes Huntington's was discovered in
nineteen ninety three, and a handful of drugs have been approved,
(21:29):
but they focused just on managing symptoms.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
At this point.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
The patient community has been trying for therapies that can
halt or slow down the neurodegeneration that's caused when the
gene creates a protein that damages brain cells. So an
early result they have found this experimental treatment was given
it a high dose to seventeen patients, so it's a
very small study so far, but a dozen of them
(21:55):
have been followed for three years. It slowed the progression
of the disease by seventy five percent when compared to
what we know as the natural course of the disease
in an external group of patients with similar characteristics, and
the medication is administered during a brain surgery. The virus
then delivers micro rna into the brain cells that silences
(22:17):
the production of that protein via the Huntington's gene, So
that is at least progress. May not be the holy grail,
but it does make a difference.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
We have heard for years and having one or two
drinks every day may help your brain and keep dementia
at bay. Now they're backtracking on that, and they say
the issue is this, people change how they drink as
they age, and those shifts can blur what's really going
on in the brain. They say, if early memory trouble,
(22:50):
nudge is someone to cut back long before a diagnosis,
an observational snapshot can make light drinkers appear safer than
they are. Classic mix up between cause and effect, they said.
For a long time, large survey showed to use shaped curve,
non drinkers at one end and heavy drinkers at the
(23:11):
other looked worse off, with lighter, moderate drinkers sitting at
the middle with low dementia rates. On paper, it looked
like moderation was a sweet spot, but those curves were
based on what people reported and on what happened to
them over time, not on controlled experience.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Well yeah, I mean, if you look at anything that
we were talking earlier about medications and stuff like that,
and any medica, there's no medication that is one effective
with zero percent fight side effects. There's nothing that you
put in your body that is one hundred percent great
(23:49):
for you without some sort of side effect. And medications
and alcohol and drugs, even food stuffs that we now
know don't they're not neutral when they go in. So
how possibly would even alcohol and moderation be the sweet spot?
(24:09):
How would your body even look at that as some
sort of nutritional physiological benefit.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yeah, I have no idea. That sounds to me like
it's an industry thing.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
And that's not to argue for teetotal or It's just
it's the argument of we all do things that have
some detriment to them, and they're not all benefit.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Well, I think I don't know if I'm understanding this correctly,
but if you were drinking huge quantities of alcohol, it
does it's going to kill your brain cells right as
opposed to people who don't touch it at all. You're
altering your mind in any way. It's screwing with your
mind and it's long term health. I would imagine acid
(24:53):
drinking to access all of those things screw with your
mindset where your mind's at, so you can see where
that would lead to confusion in your mind later on.
The longer you have your brain, you know, we have
these things for a long time. That's why they say
be nice to them. Your brain's no different. If you're
constantly abusing it, you know, in your youth or what
have you, you're going to be worse off than somebody
(25:16):
who doesn't abuse it at all in terms of altering
your mind state. I would imagine to me that just
sounds like common sense.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
Yeah, and I think there is a lot of that people.
People want to find the right, They want to find
the trick right, they want to find the place cool.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
I found a study that says I can have seven
cups of coffee and it's good for me.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Okay, I'll latch onto that and.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Then carry the study around with me when I wear
my seventh cup. It's okay, got a good idea there
is we are such a weak creature. We're such a
weak bag of juice and meat.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Oh bones, that is very dark.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
There is a new study that suggests that abandoning daylight
saving time could prevent more than three hundred thousand strokes
and cut over two million obesity cases each year.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Oh, come on, are we so we get thrown off
by one hour?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
By one hour?
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Mar It's all that stress. It's making us eat more,
and the strokes the stress of well, obesity.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
You know a lot of things cause strokes, unhealthy diet
being one of them. Right, because we are doctors, you
know what we should get.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
We should get lab coats that we put on.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
When we do strength do strength science.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
We borrow one from your doctor daughter or your doctor wife.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
Uh, neither one of them doctors, at least not yet.
But and I only think one of them has an
actual lab coat.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Well, we could buy them, we could buy fake ones.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
I wonder if I took one from my daughter, if
the school would replace.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
You don't want to be like the deadbeat dad who
steals from his overachieving daughter, You know what I mean?
Like the dad is like the drunk and he steals
her car because she's you.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Know, she's got to go to work and she's got
no car. It's like that with a lab coat.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Why am I drunk in that story?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
It's like that Molly Ringwold movie where she's taking care
of her drunk dad and she's got to make her
own homecoming dress.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
I thought Molly Ringwold was in two movies. One of
them is she was in sixteen Candles.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Could you imagine? Like, can you still think about that
dress reveal? Like didn't everyone think that dress was going
to be amazing? And it ended up something your grandmother
would be buried in? It was awful mid below mid
the long lace sleeves and it just hung on her
like what are you doing? I wanted a better reveal.
Speaker 5 (27:42):

This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Jon.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
You get paid for your words, Joe pronouncing the T
and the word often it's not pronounced Jesus Christ, it's
not off ten, it's often.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Again, you get paid to speak properly.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Do you think he's mad about?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
You're off ten? Jer what? Wow?
Speaker 4 (00:38):
What do you think he's mad about?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I think his pants are too tight.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Do you think it's the Dodgers' bullpen he's upset about?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I did.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Listen, that's a strong that's a strong, strong contender for
what he's mad about, because there's a lot of people
mad about that bullpen, and I get it.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
But and listen, I'll take it.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I've got strong shoulders to handle your anger about the bullpen.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Listen.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
All I'm saying is that is the more traditional pronunciation
of often is with the tea. It's lately, I mean
recently that it has.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Been often squeezed, kind of slangy to be.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
But it's also as the late Chris Little used to tell.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Us, he's not late. You have to know the rules
to break the rules.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
So when you say something like often or Thursday, you
know how to say them. It's just to push people
like that over the edge. I mean it's not off,
you know, it's not oft that you say.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
It's a thing.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I mean, oft wouldn't be a word if often wasn't
the way you said it.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
I'm not going to die on the often hill.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
No.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
But but that guy's a weird thing to come after
me for.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
But that guy challenged you from the often hill. He
stood up there and said often do you want to fight?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
You put like an apostrophe there. He took out the
tea and it was like often often.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
And then invoke the name of our Lord and saviors.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Brought up Jesus in that hole.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
In a way to prove how angry he was.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Yeah, you he threw out Jesus's whole nay, the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
My goodness about the middle initial.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I'll get a call into Dave Roberts. But here's the thing, guys,
the Dodgers are going to be just fine. You've got Sasaki,
You've got Sheehan, you've got Kershaw, three great pictures, you
get an s ton of runs, you have the starters
go deep.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I think Kershaw's in the bullpen.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
And you hold on tight. What else is going on?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Good question time for what's happening?
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Our trending stories brought to you by Trajan Wealth. The
future of retirement planning and wealth management is here, La
tradean wealth call today two ninety nine sixty. One of
the big stories that has been developing in the last
couple of hours and may actually come to a head today,
is that we might see former FBI director James Comy
(03:14):
indicted on criminal charges.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
You have heard Trump talk about this in recent weeks,
and it's not just a bugaboo. It's not just an
old score to settle. He's damn serious about it.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
Well.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
This comes just after Eric Sebert, who was the interim
US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, who resigned
under pressure or was fired depending on which team you're
with from Trump after opposing the filing of charges against
Comy in the district, suggesting that there was no there
there and not enough to warrant any sort of criminal charges.
(03:52):
But MSNBC is reporting that one part of the indictment
might accuse the former director of the FBI of lying
to Congress about whether he knew about or authorized a
leak or both to the Wall Street Journal. This would
have been for an article about at the time about
Hillary Clinton's email use, so that CNN was reporting that
(04:14):
that could come as soon as today.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Stick season. I thought this was just a song. I
thought this was just a pop song. But stick season
is any time between fall and winter, really from late
October to early December. But apparently Jackie and Shadow are
busy feathering their nests with fluffy bits and other natural
(04:42):
elements to help cushion and hold any eggs.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Fluffy bits, fluffy bits.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Fans have been waiting to see if one or both
the eagles will call upon their nest.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Why is there a car with the nest?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
This is the beginning of the song.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Oh though that was live sounds from Jackie in Shadows next.
If you really loved her that much, you'd get on
the f and plane.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
All right.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Starbucks CEO Brian Nichol says the company is planning to
close underperforming locations. Starbucks have seemed to just pop up overnight,
and some spots, I'm like, why would you put one.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
There when you can literally out the windows.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
See the other one? Yeah, which is a better ingress
and egress. You may often think to yourself, don't do that.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
Oh I'm sorry, God, I do oft do that.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
No, But I mean there's there's one Opacadena where I'm like,
why the hell would you do this to this intersection
because it's just so unnatural the points of ingress and
egress for this one Starbucks, and and like you said,
there's another one like one block away, and nobody ever
goes to the one that you can't get in or
out of. So Starbucks says it will be getting rid
of the underperforming locations. Unfortunately, also cutting nine hundred jobs.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Uh share, there's no tea and often.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
I wanted to tell this story only because I didn't
see it yesterday.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I know that some people had referred to it before.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
But as you fly over the desert and you're headed
to I mean even if you're driving to Vegas, but
you see that giant solar farm that's out there, the
Ivanpas Solar Power Facility done. Really, they are closing this
thing cost about two billion dollars to build, began in
twenty ten, was completed in twenty fourteen, will close next
(06:36):
year because it did not efficiently generate solar energy. Not
to mention the fact that it was killing hundreds of birds.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
It was something to look at, and that boring part
of it, that's true. You're just done with the segment
in your head called why can't we build prisons out here?
And you're wrapping that segment up when you get to oh,
there's the weird alien solar panel farm? Is it China?
You wonder no, And then you see the place off
(07:08):
to the right. I forget the name of it, and
you go, oh, I want to gamble so bad. I
might stop there. I might stop there wild bills. And
then you're like, don't stop there. Don't be the guy
that stops there. You don't want to gamble that bad.
And then you just keep going and then you see.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
That I'm almost there. Yeah, that is.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
That is very The first time I drove to Vegas
from LA and you come down that big hill and
you're like, that's it. I thought they would be more
majestic than that, and you're only at state line at that.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Yeah, all right, Well, the weird things that you ate,
we'll talk about that when we come back.
Speaker 8 (07:43):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Uh, that's not a Hugh Grant dance. That's all me.
I'm not basing that on somebody else.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
I apologize.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I don't know why you don't give.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Me credit for those creative moments that I do have.
They're not all they don't happen all the time.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
But do you dance in your latest adult theater production?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Nope?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Oh not not a little bit, not even a little bit.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Have I danced in any of the others?
Speaker 9 (08:15):
Do you?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Oh? Actually I did the last one.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
I did have a moment of dance you did that
ended very quickly.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
Now do you have any romantic scenes in this one?
Speaker 6 (08:25):
No? Thank god?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
No, that was so uncomfortable. What are you talking about
the last one? There was a lot of it. Why
were you there isn't a lot of it. I held
her hand at one like forty five minutes I did.
It was forever.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
I asked her to marry me.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Whoa you guys what that escalated in the show?
Speaker 9 (08:44):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Okay, you guys were sitting in the front row. Yeah, yeah,
it was uncomfortable for a Richie and I.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah, I know because I could hear you talking about it.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Richie and I shouldn't sit next to each other.
Speaker 10 (08:59):
Remember we were going to sit in the back, and
somehow we managed to get to the Yeah, did I
save you seats?
Speaker 4 (09:05):
It should never be in the front.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
You know that time? Trust me.
Speaker 10 (09:10):
The next one, we're gonna take a little longer at
the Mexican Joint and get more lit.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I think the time before I dropped a bottle of
wine in the middle of the show.
Speaker 6 (09:18):
Well you did not.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Okay, shit, it wasn't a bottle of wine, it's gin.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
I never dragged.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
We were talking earlier about people who have eaten one
hundred year old mrs these meals ready to eat and
sort of how they how they came about doing it.
There's a whole community of people online that will find
stuff to eat that's nasty, and I wanted to ask,
what was the craziest things that you've eaten?
Speaker 7 (09:47):
Hi, Gary, Hi Shannon. I can think of two things.
As a child, Apparently my mom didn't like us as
much as she claimed. One time she made us a
pot roast and we ate dinner. Kind of thought to myself, wow,
this has a weird texture all for her to admit
after dinner that it was a cow's tongue. And the
(10:08):
second one is scrambled eggs and brains.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Oh my, where did she grow up?
Speaker 9 (10:15):
Aryan Shannon? This is Raking Clark. So I travel over
the world. I've seen some weird things being eaten. But
my buddy was with me one time. We're in Kenya
and it just rained and all these termites were coming
up out of the ground, and the Kenyans were with
were excited and went over and started eating them. And
my friend just started scooping them up and eating them.
(10:36):
I did not, but then again I have common sense.
Speaker 8 (10:40):
In Japan, I ate live octopus tentacles which were still
squirming around in my mouth.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Oh, I've seen that the octopus is a very smart
being and does not like to be eaten. No, it
probably still lives within you.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
About that, Shannon, Hey, I was in a Marine Corps
boot camp in nineteen sixty nine and some of.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
The k rations we got were surplus from World War Two.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Oh wow, late nineteen forties for me, that.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Can I must admit.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yeah, pretty good. They were pretty good. That's really great.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
They built things better in the forties, Yes, they did.
Speaker 11 (11:29):
The strangest thing I ever eaten was an old box
of cereals g I Joe cereal from I think the
eighties that I got online. I ate most of it.
It tasted like a battery, but it was a good experience.
I also tried human meat a while back, which was okay.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
That I think was a joke question mark. Wait, let's
let's hear that again. Let's see if Let's see if
you was joke.
Speaker 11 (12:00):
It was a good experience. I also tried human meat
a while back, which was okay.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Okay, Well, we don't have to go as dark as
we're going.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
We could go much lighter than that.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
He's probably got a wound on his thigh. I'm hoping
it was his own.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
His own blood. Well, he didn't say blood, he said meat,
which means meat.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
That's what I mean. Yeah, he cut a little chunk
out of his own.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
He cut a chunk out of his own meat.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Where else is he going to get human meat? Richie?
Speaker 6 (12:30):
No, Hey, Cannon, what's up? Gary. The weirdest thing I've
ever eaten, or a couple of the wordest things I've
ever eaten, was.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Salmon, the fish in Alaska.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
Yes, I would eat the still pumping hearts that were
still pumping pretty good out of King salmon. What we
ended up playing it a couple of years that we
went up and did that, and I did that. The
second wordest thing was my Vietnamese buddy brought one hundred
year duck eggs, where the heck they are straight black.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, it's going to be a cultural thing, right, eating
the heart of a salmon.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
That I've never heard of it think maybe be a
Native America.
Speaker 5 (13:06):
It's not that can't be a big I mean, king
salmon can be big, but but the heart is not
going to be I mean it's it could be good
luck maybe.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
For say Shannon So growing up in a Mexican house.
So that had the basics as in cal tonge, calbrain, tripe,
pig feet, pig ears.
Speaker 8 (13:27):
A couple of years ago there was a small dish
of cookies that famous aim Is took up out of
those and they were as.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Sweet as I thought.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
Just to find out later on there were actually treats
from a dog, So thanks.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Bye bye treats from the dog or for the dog,
because I'm hoping it was for the dog, not a
treat from the dog.
Speaker 10 (13:52):
We were camping one time down at the Colorado River
and an unfortunate rettlesnake happened to come into our camp site.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
So we did what any logical person would do.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
We chopped off its head, chopped off the rattles, cut
off its body, fried it up in some batter, and
ate it.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
And yes, it did taste like chicken.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
You know, if you count the rings on the rattle,
I'll tell you how old that snake is.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
I learned that watching Yellowstone. It's a show.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
It's a show, Huh.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I'm now on the I just finished season four, so
I'm about to start the last season, so you don't
have to deal with the nightmare that is me bringing
up an old show for much longer.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Yeah, that show was on a long time ago, all right,
strange science. When we come back to Gary and Shannon, you're.
Speaker 8 (14:46):
Listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM
six forty again.
Speaker 5 (14:53):
One of the headlines today is that Defense Secretary Pete
Hegseth has ordered hundreds of American military brass to gather
at Marine Corps base in Quantico next week Tuesday. Specifically,
the White House hasn't said anything, the Pentagon hasn't given
a reason for this. Nobody has given any reason for this,
(15:14):
and many of the current and former military members who
have spoken to the media about it have said they've
never seen something like this, very very unusual directive sent
around the world to get military leaders in one place
at one time.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Another day, another story about an old woman giving us
clues to how you live a long life.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Who's here for it. It's strange science.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Strange sence.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
It's like weird science, but strange.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
This woman lived to be one hundred and seventeen. And
what did they do. They took her blood, her saliva,
her urine, her stool samples, sloane seriously and they studied
all of those things.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
What did they find?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Well, in Barcelona, they found that she had cells that
felt or behaved as though they were much younger than
her chronological age.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
She lived about thirty years longer than most other women,
than average women in that home of Catalonia. They said
that she had overall very good health, excellent cardiovascular health,
very low levels of inflammation.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
That's the keyword that I saw. The keyword that I
saw was cholesterol. She had extremely low levels of bad cholesterol,
proof that I will live until maybe next week.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
Among other things. She had great genetics, obviously that was
a base, but she ate a pretty strict Mediterranean diet,
was very high in yogurt.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
They said.
Speaker 5 (16:54):
Extreme longevity probably influenced by a wide range of those
environmental variables. They also said the scientists noticed huge erosion
in her Maria's telomeres, the caps at the end of
her chromosomes. They said, telomars protect our genetic material. The
shorter ones are linked to a higher risk of death,
(17:15):
but suggested that among the oldest of the old, you
know those people, one hundred plus tellomers are not actually
a useful biomarker of aging. In fact, the short telomers
may have helped her with an advantage, they said, hypothetically speaking,
that short lifespan of those body cells may have stopped
cancer from ever proliferating in her body.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
We got to get some more Suzeki sauce around here.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
I'm down with that.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
I am just funnel that stuff just into our moss fine.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
Missions to the Moon, missions to Mars, of course pose
nutritional challenges for the humans that will be going along.
But NASA has a group of volunteers from the Open
Science Data Repository Analysis working Groups that's a very long
business card working together to analyze information on astronaut health.
These teams use a bunch of information to answer basic
(18:10):
science questions. For example, there was a paper that was
put out on space grown food to look at lettuce
grown on the International Space Station and the Chinese space station,
the Tangong two. They found that the crop contained twenty
nine to thirty one percent less calcium and twenty five
(18:30):
percent less magnesium than earth lettuce, which of course falls
short of the requirements for humans in space travel, and
they said there were two challenges. The analysis revealed that
astronauts experienced changes in the expression of one hundred and
sixty three calcium genes. They actually said that would accelerate
(18:52):
bone loss in space. They also explained leaky gut syndrome.
Japanese aerospacex Floration Agency showed that astronauts experience compromised intestinal
barriers due to altered protein production and regulation, likely disrupting
their ability to absorb nutrients, which could make it a problem.
(19:13):
That is some of the really basic biological hurdles that
exist when it comes to trying to get humans to Mars.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Humans to the Moon, We've done it, We're going to
do it again.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
But humans to Mars might be one of those hurdles.
That's too high to jump over.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Coming up, we have some new gene therapy that has
been shown to slow Huntington's disease. Any amount of alcohol
now will give you dementia. There's more of these studies
coming out. One beer or one glass of wine a
day is a problem.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
That's troubling.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Used to be like, you know, you had fifteen pops
a week. Yeah, maybe you want to cut back.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
So what if you don't drink for sick stays and
then have seven drinks on the seventh day.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
I used to wonder that. You know, I'm sure that's
good for your liverer, but I think it's the whole week.
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how you space it out.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Gary and Shanna will continue with strange science.
Speaker 8 (20:15):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I think you'll get through this. I do, I honestly do.
Speaker 5 (20:25):
I know that your back hurts, but you'll get it's
not probably doesn't even hurt.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
You just feel tight. Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, sure, it's fine.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Dodgers game has started, by the way, they could clinch
the division today.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
If I need you to help me go to the bathroom, tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I'll point you to the right one. There.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
There is some new gene therapy that apparently slows the
progression of Huntington's disease. Experimental treatment a company called Unicure
announced this week a rare, hopeful advance against this disease
that can rob people of control of their body and
their minds even in the prime of their life. People
(21:08):
with Huntington's often developed symptoms in their forties that progress
to severe disability and death over the course of about
two decades. It's a slow, awful way to go, but
they said the gene that causes Huntington's was discovered in
nineteen ninety three, and a handful of drugs have been approved,
(21:29):
but they focused just on managing symptoms.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
At this point.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
The patient community has been trying for therapies that can
halt or slow down the neurodegeneration that's caused when the
gene creates a protein that damages brain cells. So an
early result they have found this experimental treatment was given
it a high dose to seventeen patients, so it's a
very small study so far, but a dozen of them
(21:55):
have been followed for three years. It slowed the progression
of the disease by seventy five percent when compared to
what we know as the natural course of the disease
in an external group of patients with similar characteristics, and
the medication is administered during a brain surgery. The virus
then delivers micro rna into the brain cells that silences
(22:17):
the production of that protein via the Huntington's gene, So
that is at least progress. May not be the holy grail,
but it does make a difference.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
We have heard for years and having one or two
drinks every day may help your brain and keep dementia
at bay. Now they're backtracking on that, and they say
the issue is this, people change how they drink as
they age, and those shifts can blur what's really going
on in the brain. They say, if early memory trouble,
(22:50):
nudge is someone to cut back long before a diagnosis,
an observational snapshot can make light drinkers appear safer than
they are. Classic mix up between cause and effect, they said.
For a long time, large survey showed to use shaped curve,
non drinkers at one end and heavy drinkers at the
(23:11):
other looked worse off, with lighter, moderate drinkers sitting at
the middle with low dementia rates. On paper, it looked
like moderation was a sweet spot, but those curves were
based on what people reported and on what happened to
them over time, not on controlled experience.
Speaker 5 (23:28):
Well yeah, I mean, if you look at anything that
we were talking earlier about medications and stuff like that,
and any medica, there's no medication that is one effective
with zero percent fight side effects. There's nothing that you
put in your body that is one hundred percent great
(23:49):
for you without some sort of side effect. And medications
and alcohol and drugs, even food stuffs that we now
know don't they're not neutral when they go in. So
how possibly would even alcohol and moderation be the sweet spot?
(24:09):
How would your body even look at that as some
sort of nutritional physiological benefit.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yeah, I have no idea. That sounds to me like
it's an industry thing.
Speaker 5 (24:20):
And that's not to argue for teetotal or It's just
it's the argument of we all do things that have
some detriment to them, and they're not all benefit.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Well, I think I don't know if I'm understanding this correctly,
but if you were drinking huge quantities of alcohol, it
does it's going to kill your brain cells right as
opposed to people who don't touch it at all. You're
altering your mind in any way. It's screwing with your
mind and it's long term health. I would imagine acid
(24:53):
drinking to access all of those things screw with your
mindset where your mind's at, so you can see where
that would lead to confusion in your mind later on.
The longer you have your brain, you know, we have
these things for a long time. That's why they say
be nice to them. Your brain's no different. If you're
constantly abusing it, you know, in your youth or what
have you, you're going to be worse off than somebody
(25:16):
who doesn't abuse it at all in terms of altering
your mind state. I would imagine to me that just
sounds like common sense.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
Yeah, and I think there is a lot of that people.
People want to find the right, They want to find
the trick right, they want to find the place cool.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
I found a study that says I can have seven
cups of coffee and it's good for me.
Speaker 4 (25:34):
Okay, I'll latch onto that and.
Speaker 5 (25:37):
Then carry the study around with me when I wear
my seventh cup. It's okay, got a good idea there
is we are such a weak creature. We're such a
weak bag of juice and meat.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Oh bones, that is very dark.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
There is a new study that suggests that abandoning daylight
saving time could prevent more than three hundred thousand strokes
and cut over two million obesity cases each year.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Oh, come on, are we so we get thrown off
by one hour?
Speaker 2 (26:14):
By one hour?
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Mar It's all that stress. It's making us eat more,
and the strokes the stress of well, obesity.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
You know a lot of things cause strokes, unhealthy diet
being one of them. Right, because we are doctors, you
know what we should get.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
We should get lab coats that we put on.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
When we do strength do strength science.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
We borrow one from your doctor daughter or your doctor wife.
Speaker 5 (26:38):
Uh, neither one of them doctors, at least not yet.
But and I only think one of them has an
actual lab coat.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Well, we could buy them, we could buy fake ones.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
I wonder if I took one from my daughter, if
the school would replace.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
You don't want to be like the deadbeat dad who
steals from his overachieving daughter, You know what I mean?
Like the dad is like the drunk and he steals
her car because she's you.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Know, she's got to go to work and she's got
no car. It's like that with a lab coat.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Why am I drunk in that story?
Speaker 1 (27:11):
It's like that Molly Ringwold movie where she's taking care
of her drunk dad and she's got to make her
own homecoming dress.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
I thought Molly Ringwold was in two movies. One of
them is she was in sixteen Candles.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Could you imagine? Like, can you still think about that
dress reveal? Like didn't everyone think that dress was going
to be amazing? And it ended up something your grandmother
would be buried in? It was awful mid below mid
the long lace sleeves and it just hung on her
like what are you doing? I wanted a better reveal.
