Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio. App Apparently American bullfrogs are gobbling up
everything in sight and including some of the rarest species
in the Western States.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
They're taking over. Really, they're giant.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Too, they do some of them, some of them frogs.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
You ever stepped on a frog? No, he used to
do that all the time.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Not intentionally, but there were frogs in our front yard lot.
You'd walk outside bare feet and squish a frog.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Nightmares.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
They're eating turtles or eating all sorts of things.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Frogs are eating turtles.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Oh yeah, we'll get into it. Coming up in Strange Science,
the start of the NFL season.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Obviously, the official season is about a week away today
tonight we have three preseason games Colts, Ravens, Bengals, Eagles, Raiders,
Seahawks tonight, but bud Light, trying to crawl its way
back and everybody's good graces, is celebrating with special beer
cans adorned with team logos and colors. Right, how many
teams are there? You ask, there's thirty two. How many
(01:09):
teams will be having cans bud Light cans sixteen twenty seven.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Yeah, so why the other five five teams will not out,
will not be represented on these cans.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Some don't deserve to have cans of bud Light.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Dallas Cowboys, I.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Mean, look at the Colts. Look at that quarterback competition.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
They have a can.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Dallas Cowboys have a can.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
They have to they do not, they do not. Interesting
there Cogo Bears, you know what, Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers, Raiders,
and the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Contractual issues probably with bud Light.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
They probably have deals that are more you know, binding,
with other beer.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Yeah, okay, that makes more sense.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I mean, if I was.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Going to leave out teams that don't deserve beer, I
would go with the Jaguars, the Colts, the Packers this year.
They don't deserve any beer. Cowboys don't deserve any beer.
Ouch who else doesn't deserve any beer? Off the top
of my head, I don't know. And those are the
(02:13):
big ones that pop out.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
If you think of any just shout them out. What
else is going on? Time for what's happening?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I did not stay up to date with Kelly Clarkson's
life post American Idol, but she is grieving the loss
of an ex boyfriend. Well, I don't know if she's
grieving it, but her ex husband has died and in
Blackstock was his name, forty eight years old, died from cancer.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
She is grieving. She canceled a couple of events that
she had. She's doing a residency in Vegas.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
They have children eleven and nine years old. Oh, oh
my gosh.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah, she's She says, I normally keep my personal life private.
This past year, my children's father's been ill, and at
this moment I need to be fully present for them.
Expressed apologize to fans, expressed appreciation for their grace and
kindness and understanding and all of this. He also had
a couple of kids from her previous marriage, apparently, and
(03:17):
actually became a grandfather a few years ago.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Reba McIntyre was previously married to his father for years.
WHOA what a strange and her the dad was Kelly
Clarkson's manager.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
That must have bet how they met.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Today likely the hottest day of the week. Really say
it's a heat wave. Were mid August, It's okay to
be over one hundred and mid August?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
We have none of this.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
In July, I gonna say, we got lucky in July
and saw nothing of this, So this is this is hot,
but I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
If it is it HATSI TATSI.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
I'm not going to say that because even that, it's
got to be warmer for hip.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Because everyone's been waiting for you to say it.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
No one has been waiting.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I've been waiting all year.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
I find that hard to believe.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
You haven't said it all year long. I have said it,
I haven't.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I keep track of how often I say it, and
I've said it twice already this year.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
You have not.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
High tech outage led to United Airlines grounding a bunch
of flights nationwide, and even with this issue resolved, there's
still hundreds of flights that have been delayed. Dozens actually
had to be canceled. The outage stemmed from an issue
with the airlines Weight and Balance computer system. You do
not want that going out when the airplanes need to
(04:38):
calculate how much fuel, et cetera they're going to need
for their trips.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
A bull has found its way onto the school grounds
in Harupa Valley. What Sheriff station responded using a lasso
and some calm tactics. Deputies were able to safely contain
the bull.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
We don't know where the came from.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
No injuries to anybody, thank god, but wow, how fun
is that a bull turns up at the the playard playground.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says we could expect
to see above normal activity for the remainder of the
hurricane season, which will go through the end of October,
continuing to predict an above normal number of named storms
for the year, but slightly less confidence than when the
initial hurricane outlook took place in May. So now they
(05:32):
say there's about a fifty percent chance of an above
normal season, about a third of a chance of a
near normal season, So the percentages are down just a
tiny bit. But at this point we've most of the
tropical storm hurricane activity that we've seen has been way
out into the Atlantic and hasn't affected the United States
at all.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Thieves are targeting one type of car above all others.
One US vehicle stolen far more frequently than any other
make or model. Survey says Chevy Camaro ZL one had
a theft rate thirty nine times higher than the average
for all vehicles in recent years.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
It's a higher performance version of the low cost lowest
cost Camaro. Retails between thirty two thousand, can go up
to around fifty thousand, depending on how you finish it
and all the other options, et cetera. It is funny
that on the bottom of that list the least stolen
(06:35):
vehicles the top five, four of them are Tesla's.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
And then the RAV four and the Toyota Rev. I
was telling Gary this, do not get My mother drives
a rob four. She loves her Rap four. My brother
loses his mind. He cannot stand this car. He has
a problem with every part of it, the way it's made,
the way it right, the whole bit. He loses his mind.
And he's not alone. Nobody wants to rout four.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Funny funny that you get exercised about something like that. Yes,
they said the common thread among those vehicles that were
least stolen least frequently stolen, eight of the twenty are electric,
two of them plug in hybrids. And one of the
people who did this study said, based on the fact
that many of these are connected vehicles, whether you're connected
(07:23):
to a charger, et cetera, just having one of them,
they need to be charged on a regular basis. Many
of them keep many of the electric vehicles are kept
in garages for that reason. So they're just harder to
get into, harder to find on the street, harder to
get into if you can find them on the street.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Going up next, ultra process foods are so delicious.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Aren't they.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Well, now they're making up for more than fifty percent
of our diets.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Oh that's problem. You know.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Digget into those ultra processed foods once in a while
is totally fine, right, but not fifty percent of your diet.
That's when we get into some problems with the diabetes.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
No baseball today, No local baseball, no baseball, No, there's
like that four.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Game mood Thursday.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Thursdays don't usually have a lot of games, so there's
only four games that Angels lost to the Rais yesterday,
five before they will start a series in Detroit tomorrow
against the very tough Detroit Tigers. Dodgers lost to the
Cardinals five to three. Despite the fact that Showhy did
everything again. I know Blue Jays will come to Dodger
Stadium starting tomorrow. Incredible Blue Jays are coming off of
(08:39):
an absolute white hot series in Colorado where they outscored
the Colorado Rockies forty five to six over the course
of three games, and they had sixty three hits in
a three game series, unheard of. We all remember that
one teacher made a difference. It believes in us, that
challenged us made to learning fun. Now is your chance
(09:02):
to say thank you in a big way. With Iheartradios,
think a teacher powered by donors Choose. You can nominate
an outstanding public school teacher who's gone above and beyond
for their students to win five thousand dollars to stock
their classroom with whatever they need. You can help say
thank you to the educators that shape our future. Nominate

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Ultra process foods make up the majority of calories we're
eating that is not good. There are signs this consumption
might be declining, so they say that sandwiches, baked goods,
salty snacks, and other goodies.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Other ultra process foods.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Accounted for fifty five percent of the calories Americans age
one and older consumed over a two year period, but
they say the proportion is getting smaller. For adults, the
mean percentage of calories consumed from these foods felt three
percentage points since twenty eighteen, and for children and teens
(10:08):
it fell nearly four percentage points.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
So are we getting the word out?
Speaker 4 (10:12):
I think I think that may be part of it.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Because smoking, If we're gonna I make the parallel all
the time, because big tobacco became big ultra process foods.
I mean, they just basically changed the suit they were in.
The people that sold tobacco to kids and got all
of us hooked on it and addicted to it, those
are the same people, the same engines that are powering
(10:37):
the ultra process foods market, and so they're using the
same tools and it's working in terms of getting us
addicted with the colors, with the coolness, with the branding,
all of that. But then with smoking, the message started
to get out. You know a few decades after the
Cosmopolitan ads you know, were peak that hey, this isn't
(11:00):
good for your digestion.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
It's really bad, it'll kill you.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Here's a woman with our hole in the throat, near
death at thirty eight years old. And so I'm wondering
if the message is slowly, very slowly getting out about Yes,
ultra processed foods are delicious, but it's not normal to
eat them as much as we're doing. We're eating sixteen
serving sizes instead of one, and all of the things. Well,
I mean, I don't know if this bakery picture, you know,
(11:25):
one slice of that cake is probably three servings, right.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
And that's kind of a funny thing because that, I mean,
all food is processed somehow. That's how we Unless you
pull a carrot out of the ground and eat it,
that's on process But even that kind of stuff in
a bakery like that probably has relatively right, more natural
ingredients than if you were to buy a frozen cheesecake
(11:50):
that's stuck in a freezer for a year.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
But the thing that I want to point out about
this picture, in particular the sizes of the pieces of cake,
is it's normalized. Well it's just one piece, and that's normalized.
And that's the industry dictating to you what they want
you to think is normal. That's up to you what's
normal for your body. You know, when you start listening
to what other people are trying to feed you, you got
to ask yourself, why are they trying to feed me that.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
When you get in trouble.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
And I don't know if there's anything specific about twenty eighteen.
I mean, you mentioned that that was the time when
the percentage of calories consumed actually fell since twenty eighteen,
but you have I think we have to go back
to the beginnings of discussions about glp ones, for example,
and these ozempic and ozempic type drugs that started coming
(12:37):
into the market, and people realized that the finger Quotes's
magic pill had arrived, that you could, you know, do
something with what appeared to be very little side effects
or at least unknown side effects, and you'd stop your cravings,
you'd drop the weight, you'd have all these other health repercussions,
positive health repercussions from losing the weight, and you start
(12:59):
to think about, oh, maybe that's how I do it.
And I wonder if there's a if there's a parallel
to that, a desire to kind of push back against
the medicalization of it and say, well, there's got to
be a better way for me to do it in
a normal way.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Well, I think that people that start with the glp
ones and they do drop that initial weight, they do
start thinking because they're not eating this stuff anymore, right, Really,
their habits have changed because, like you said, the cravings
are gone, or the want to snack or whatever, it's
not there, really, And I think that that opens the
(13:38):
door for making better decisions.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I don't know, maybe.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Right, I think there's But the problem with those is, now,
what do you do when you're done with it?
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Is there such thing as I'm done with it?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Or does your body just revert back to what it
was before and you've got to start all over.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I don't know people that have taken it and then stopped.
I don't think I do. I wouldn't know otherwise. I mean,
it's not like it's talked about that much. But you know,
I do know. Science will tell you that it's nearly
scientifically impossible to keep weight off once you lose it,
(14:17):
because your body is fighting over time to put it
back on for whatever reason.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Well, one of the things that one of the reasons
why intermittent fasting has become so popular or effective for
some people is your body is designed to go through
periods of hunger.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
That's just the way. That's why you have the feelings.
Why you have the the.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
That feeling of being hungry is so that your body
starts to do things with all of the stuff that's
on the inside. You know how scientific I'm getting, and
you're using you know, you're using what's already stored in
your body to get you through those hungry times. If
you never allow your body to be hungry, if you're
constantly eating, if you're constantly having snacks, if you're constantly
(15:05):
eating stuff, especially especially when it's that ultra process, prepackaged stuff,
you never give your body the time to do what
it's designed to do. You know, two hundred years ago,
we didn't have the amount of food that we had
available to us, and meals, like if you came to
California in the eighteen fifties, you didn't have a sit
(15:27):
down meal and then a tub of a baskin Robin's
Rainbow sherbet.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Afterwards.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
You were lucky to have hard tack and maybe a
piece of jerky or something like that. So the calorie
intake that we had two hundred years ago was technically
better for your body because that's how it did, that's
how it was designed to run.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
It's getting real. Donner party up in here.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
We're eating live animals and we don't get any ice cream.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Holy hell, I'm gonna go get some m and ms.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Just so.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Your body's telling you that right now is a good time.
We will do strange science when we come back to
Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Have you been using your creams?
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Nope?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Noh.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Were you going to say that my skin looks great? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
I was going to compliment your skin. It's more of
an internal attitude. Yeah, it's true. I've decided that my
skin looks.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Hydration does come from within, and if you're drinking more water,
that'll do it.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
A couple of those a day.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Sure, are you up in the intake of that?
Speaker 4 (16:36):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
No?
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I usually have two.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
It hasn't changed. Interesting. Hello, Gary and Shannon, my dynamic duo.
It's Bridget Bridget the ice Cube interview, top notch. No
one can touch you with that one.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I do believe it's even Marconi Award winning WHOA Material.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
WHOA Thank me later.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I love that name. It's like my one of top
five names for girls yesterday. At this time, we were
able to interview Ice Cube. Somebody was able to finagle him,
point him down the wrong hallway.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Probably Oscar worked hard on that and.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Came came into our studio and we sat down with
him for a good twenty minutes. So yeah, you can
go back and check out the podcast, of course, and
listen to our conversation with him.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Garon Shannon, Yes, a quick question. This is Donald callin
from Georgia. I love you every single day. Thank you.
Then lissen to the Clarkson family and everybody affected.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
But my question is it's a messy question. If your
spouse's ex partner passed away and they were visibly emotionally
hurt from it, are you upset?
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Are you understanding?
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Are you gonna get your feelings?
Speaker 4 (17:42):
How do you feel about how they feel? Love y'all?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I feel like it's okay for you know, for a while.
You know, if six months down the line, you're still dealing.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
With an alter to the X that's somewhere in the
in the house, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
I wouldn't not an alter altar. You know.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I'm still pissed off about that quilt you kept from
your ax.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
I don't liked that.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
There's laughter in the hallway when you say that everyone's pissed.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
We're all pissed. You should have gotten rid of the quilt.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
I did I get it? What did you? Probably a
good quote?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
What?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
No? Burn it burn?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
It wasn't a great quote, got bad energy. It did
have some bad You're damn right it did. Anyway, Let's
move on to strange.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Time for strange science. Science. It's like weird science, but
strange to.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Follow up on our processed foods that we were talking
about a new study published this week in the journal BMJ.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I hate these studies because I know French fries aren't
good for me. I know French fries. I mean remember
Mondo put that story in front of me and said,
if you're, you know, a woman over forty, you can
only have eight French fries in a sitting or else
you're gonna get fat and die.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
And it's essentially what it said.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
It's like, listen, I don't eat French fries every day,
and I certainly don't eat them thinking I'm doing something
good for my body. But I love them, and I'm
not going to stop eating the French.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Fries easy, Nancy Pelosi. I'm not smacking them out of
your hands.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Why my Nancy Pelosi now ripped.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Up that study right as I was getting into it.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Does she do that?
Speaker 4 (19:32):
She ripped up.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I don't remember anything other than.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
This, stop doing that. Never do that again. That was
your mouth. That was really weird.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Don't you remember the sound of her yes when she spoke.
That's why I don't want you to try that again, sane.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
This study suggests that swapping out your weekly dose of
French fries for boiled potatoes or baked potatoes, or even
mashed potatoes could lower your risk of type two diabetes.
They studied more than two hundred thousand adults in the
US responded to questionnaires about what they ate over nearly
four decades, and among those who consumed potatoes, the authors
(20:12):
looked at which of them developed type two diabetes. Eating
three weekly servings of French fries lucky was associated with
the twenty percent increased risk of type two diabetes three
weekly Well.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Like, I keep the aura ida frozen ones and the freezer,
because sometimes you just gotta, you know, spice up a
weekday dinner with some French fries. Sometimes you don't even
make dinner, you just make the French fries. But those
are baked right yeah, yeah, no, they're pre fried.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
You can say they're pre fried and then you bake them. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Oh they're so good.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Wait you see you're getting them in out of the
freezer bag. Yeah, so even more.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Processing goes into those French fries than other French. Do
you watch your mouth?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I'm just saying, how was Nancy Pelosi.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
I don't want you to think that you're be eating healthy.
You just just want to remind.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
You you don't need a scold time.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
You're a garbage can. I mean the food.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Wow, I am going to honk my horn in the
tunnel on the way home.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
So it should you should embrace the side of you
that's not a joyless ogre.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Speaking of studies, though, yeah, a team of researchers has
found evidence that shady organizations churn out fake or low
quality scientific studies on an industrial skill.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
This is the biggest no s of the day.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
I mean, how many studies do we have that are
just bowl s? Because all you need to do if
you want to sell a product, or say we have
I've got this this tupperware, dirty piece of tupperware, and
I want to sell dirty tupperware. I called Joe at
Joe's Research Inc. I go, hey, Joe, I'm gonna slide
you a check for forty grand.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Can you hit me up with.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
A press release from your research team that says dirty
tupperware is actually the next health crise? Joe blows can
be like sure. When that check clears, I'll shoot it
your way. The next day, I've got a team of
researchers telling me that eight out of ten scientists say
dirty tupperware is good for your gut biome. I run
(22:24):
with that. I sell more of this dirty tepperware. It's
all crap, It's all blooney. Never believe what you read
when it comes to these blowney studies.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
They said.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
By the twenty tens, journal editors science huge progress in
the last centuries because you could write down your scientific
discoveries and pass them on to the next generation, and
then they could build on your discoveries, et cetera. But
they said, by the twenty tens, journal editors and watchdog
organizations were warning that trust was under threat the trust
(22:54):
of other scientists. They flagged a growing number of papers
with fabricated information, doctored data and images, and the factors
driving the increase grew more intense, and it's only getting
worse with artificial intelligence.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
I got a text from your wife, but I don't
know if I can share yet, so so we'll just
wait and see.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
What's wrong.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
You are right, I'm trying to think of what I said,
trying to think of what you said. Hey, I've got
good news about the asteroid. It may be on its
way and it may take you out. We'll do that
when we come back, I say, And we'll see if
we get the green light. Here, still waiting for what
(23:40):
from your wife? I'm not going to share out of class.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
It's my wife, yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
But I don't need to tell you what she says.
You don't own her.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
I didn't say I own her. I just figured that
she wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
This isn't the actual Donner party?
Speaker 4 (23:56):
What does that mean? Garyan?
Speaker 1 (23:58):
You know will continue? I feel that was it a
time when you could like own your wife and which.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Oh okay, that was something about eating body parts?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Whoa, whoa.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kf
I am six forty.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Hi, this is Gary's wife.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
What was the question and why aren't you just doing
the show. Why are you asking me questions?
Speaker 4 (24:23):
That's kind of weird.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Just like, go back to the show, you guys and
I how gladly chime in if need be?
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Okay later, that didn't sound at all like my wife. Hi,
this is Gary's wife.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Oh that does not sound like you're right? Your wife
did say I could share boy. Well, it's about the quilt.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Okay, all right?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Should we retell the quilt story for people who don't
know the quilt story?
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Gary dated someone in college whose wife gave me.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Sorry, I dated someone.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Who's in college whose mom gave me a quilt because
she was into quilting for my I believe it was
for my graduation from college, because what else do you
get a twenty two year old man but a quilt?
And she wrote a nice note there was like congratulations.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Irrelevant. Everything is irrelevant. The only relevant information. It was
a quilt from your ex's mom, right, that you kept
for a long term to your forties.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
I didn't keep it in my forties.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Okay, when did you get rid of it?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I don't remember it after I started my relationship with
my wife.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Was it after you were married?
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I have a real problem with the quilt. And keeping
the quilt. I know you're a keeper of things, but
like you know, I.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Got drawing any kind it was. That's another valuable part
of my betting when I was that age, when we
do not literally mid twenties.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
In Siberia, where there are no targets, there's bedding around
every corner.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Go on.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
That is not an excuse.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
I'm taking my whooping.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Go On, she says, your wife.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
He only got rid of the quolt the quilt because
I called him out on it. Yes, if I never
said anything or made an issue, it would still be
on his bed.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
I don't know if it'd be on the bed, but
I probably still would have it.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
And then she said something very sweet. He likes to
hang on to things. I guess that works in my favor,
considering Ace kept me around for twenty eight years. That's
really sweet. That's nice. That's a nice way to end
that story.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Is Kenna crying?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Are you crying in there?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Sweet?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Isn't it nice? That's so sweet?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
It's very sweet. I mean, I just don't know why
she keeps you around. I guess it's all our question.
She likes to get rid of stuff quickly. What happened
to the Neanderthals.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Oh, I gave that to John.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
That was let me tell you.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
I saw a story about a Neanderthal and how the
UV rays may have hurt them. And I said to
John as I handed it to him, stay out of
the sunlight.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
We'll get this. Get this little piece of science. About
forty tho years ago, Neanderthals disappeared. Homo sapiens didn't. We
know who won that one, right scoreboard. But the question
is why. We still do not know why Neanderthals took off,
(27:31):
but Homo sapiens did not. Some research now suggests and
this may be all like you said, you know, you
can get a study to tell you anything.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
This may be from the copper tone people.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Sunscreen and tailored clothing may have saved Homo sapiens, because
they're talking about.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Both things that you don't enjoy.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Both groups wore animal skins, but Neanderthals tended to wear
loose fitting cloaks of animals, whereas Homo sapiens would tailor
them a little bit, add a little bit of shape
to your body. Humans also coated themselves with mineral pigments,
which could function as sunscreen. They said it's unlikely that
(28:15):
those differences in behavior alone would have resulted in the
Anderthals disappearing, But they say the timing of this is
interesting because increased exposure can occur when the north and
south magnetic poles begin to wander from their traditional positions.
That's a matter of all the way back to the
(28:36):
magnetic field anchored at the poles forces are more concentrated there.
A change in the core can cause poles to wander,
and during the twilight of the Neanderthals, they said, there
was something called the La Champs event la a wandering,
which caused the magnetic field to drop to about ten
percent of its average strength. And in that case, the
(28:59):
earth magnetic field would not have been able to stop
all of the radiation and the particles that come in.
So imagine if today we spent most of our day
outside and ninety percent of the radiation that is usually
stopped by our atmosphere by the magnetic poles of the
(29:23):
radiation just came blaring through us. Do us us of
the fair skinned side of the planet, we would be fried.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Do you remember in the nineties when we had that
sun block that was like a stick and it was
made to look like we were the Homo sapiens like
we were like living off the land in.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Caves like the cave.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
There's like neon sunscreen, and it was very in to
just do like stripes on your face.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
What was that called?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Zinc?
Speaker 4 (29:53):
Zinc? Yeah, zinc.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Your wife has corrected you.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I am you made it sound like this was a
girlfriend in college.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Why did you were a part where the quilt was
given before I was engaged to her?
Speaker 1 (30:09):
You were engaged to this person and kept the efing
quilt into your real marriage.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Holy Jesus, Mary.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
And Joseph done one of those in a while?
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I take it back too.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
You are more likely to die from an asteroid strike
than rabies.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
And you're more likely to die from going home if
you're Gary.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Uh not, just no, not just how likely it is
that an asteroid will hit the Earth during an average
human lifespan, but how likely that impact is to cause
human deaths when compared to a selection of other rare
preventable ways to die.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
You know, rabies I think was also up there with
quicksand and the Bermuda triangle and aids. Like rabies seemed
like you could get those from like any neighborhood dog.
And I kind of blame Stephen King and Kujo for
that because that was like a mid eighties kind of
a thing.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Did Kujo have rabies? I don't know. Oh yeah, Oh
I didn't realize it.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I don't know. I assume he had rabies.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
It was just an evil dog.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Maybe Raby's was his weapon of choice, right, But.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Don't you remember being afraid of rabies?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (31:17):
All that stuff?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah, and you don't hear about it anymore.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Thank goodness. I think we've done away with rabies.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
I think so, But tuberculosis is making a comeback, so
don't shut the door on rabies.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah, he got rabies.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Kujo, the large Saint Bernard contracts rabies after being bitten
by a rabid bat. And that's when he had the
dramatic transformation. He was a nice, family friendly dog and
became crazy and which is attack and kill people that time.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
I couldn't it have been a cat? I guess he
had pet cemetery that was?
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Was that like a dots in? They hid from him?
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Man, I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Okay, anyway, John Cobelt Show is up there else on
the Friday edition of the Gary and Shannon show tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
It's Friday Dry Everybody blessings.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
You've been listening to The Gary and Shannon Show.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
You can always hear us live on KFI AM six
forty nine am to one pm every Monday through Friday,
and anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio ap
This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to KFI
AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on demand
on the iHeartRadio. App Apparently American bullfrogs are gobbling up
everything in sight and including some of the rarest species
in the Western States.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
They're taking over. Really, they're giant.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Too, they do some of them, some of them frogs.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
You ever stepped on a frog? No, he used to
do that all the time.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Not intentionally, but there were frogs in our front yard lot.
You'd walk outside bare feet and squish a frog.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Nightmares.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
They're eating turtles or eating all sorts of things.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Frogs are eating turtles.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Oh yeah, we'll get into it. Coming up in Strange Science,
the start of the NFL season.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Obviously, the official season is about a week away today
tonight we have three preseason games Colts, Ravens, Bengals, Eagles, Raiders,
Seahawks tonight, but bud Light, trying to crawl its way
back and everybody's good graces, is celebrating with special beer
cans adorned with team logos and colors. Right, how many
teams are there? You ask, there's thirty two. How many
(01:09):
teams will be having cans bud Light cans sixteen twenty seven.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Yeah, so why the other five five teams will not out,
will not be represented on these cans.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Some don't deserve to have cans of bud Light.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Dallas Cowboys, I.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Mean, look at the Colts. Look at that quarterback competition.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
They have a can.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Dallas Cowboys have a can.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
They have to they do not, they do not. Interesting
there Cogo Bears, you know what, Dallas Cowboys, Green Bay Packers, Raiders,
and the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Contractual issues probably with bud Light.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
They probably have deals that are more you know, binding,
with other beer.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Yeah, okay, that makes more sense.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I mean, if I was.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Going to leave out teams that don't deserve beer, I
would go with the Jaguars, the Colts, the Packers this year.
They don't deserve any beer. Cowboys don't deserve any beer.
Ouch who else doesn't deserve any beer? Off the top
of my head, I don't know. And those are the
(02:13):
big ones that pop out.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
If you think of any just shout them out. What
else is going on? Time for what's happening?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I did not stay up to date with Kelly Clarkson's
life post American Idol, but she is grieving the loss
of an ex boyfriend. Well, I don't know if she's
grieving it, but her ex husband has died and in
Blackstock was his name, forty eight years old, died from cancer.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
She is grieving. She canceled a couple of events that
she had. She's doing a residency in Vegas.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
They have children eleven and nine years old. Oh, oh
my gosh.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Yeah, she's She says, I normally keep my personal life private.
This past year, my children's father's been ill, and at
this moment I need to be fully present for them.
Expressed apologize to fans, expressed appreciation for their grace and
kindness and understanding and all of this. He also had
a couple of kids from her previous marriage, apparently, and
(03:17):
actually became a grandfather a few years ago.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Reba McIntyre was previously married to his father for years.
WHOA what a strange and her the dad was Kelly
Clarkson's manager.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
That must have bet how they met.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Today likely the hottest day of the week. Really say
it's a heat wave. Were mid August, It's okay to
be over one hundred and mid August?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
We have none of this.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
In July, I gonna say, we got lucky in July
and saw nothing of this, So this is this is hot,
but I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
If it is it HATSI TATSI.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
I'm not going to say that because even that, it's
got to be warmer for hip.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Because everyone's been waiting for you to say it.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
No one has been waiting.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I've been waiting all year.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
I find that hard to believe.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
You haven't said it all year long. I have said it,
I haven't.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I keep track of how often I say it, and
I've said it twice already this year.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
You have not.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
High tech outage led to United Airlines grounding a bunch
of flights nationwide, and even with this issue resolved, there's
still hundreds of flights that have been delayed. Dozens actually
had to be canceled. The outage stemmed from an issue
with the airlines Weight and Balance computer system. You do
not want that going out when the airplanes need to
(04:38):
calculate how much fuel, et cetera they're going to need
for their trips.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
A bull has found its way onto the school grounds
in Harupa Valley. What Sheriff station responded using a lasso
and some calm tactics. Deputies were able to safely contain
the bull.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
We don't know where the came from.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
No injuries to anybody, thank god, but wow, how fun
is that a bull turns up at the the playard playground.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says we could expect
to see above normal activity for the remainder of the
hurricane season, which will go through the end of October,
continuing to predict an above normal number of named storms
for the year, but slightly less confidence than when the
initial hurricane outlook took place in May. So now they
(05:32):
say there's about a fifty percent chance of an above
normal season, about a third of a chance of a
near normal season, So the percentages are down just a
tiny bit. But at this point we've most of the
tropical storm hurricane activity that we've seen has been way
out into the Atlantic and hasn't affected the United States
at all.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Thieves are targeting one type of car above all others.
One US vehicle stolen far more frequently than any other
make or model. Survey says Chevy Camaro ZL one had
a theft rate thirty nine times higher than the average
for all vehicles in recent years.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
It's a higher performance version of the low cost lowest
cost Camaro. Retails between thirty two thousand, can go up
to around fifty thousand, depending on how you finish it
and all the other options, et cetera. It is funny
that on the bottom of that list the least stolen
(06:35):
vehicles the top five, four of them are Tesla's.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
And then the RAV four and the Toyota Rev. I
was telling Gary this, do not get My mother drives
a rob four. She loves her Rap four. My brother
loses his mind. He cannot stand this car. He has
a problem with every part of it, the way it's made,
the way it right, the whole bit. He loses his mind.
And he's not alone. Nobody wants to rout four.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Funny funny that you get exercised about something like that. Yes,
they said the common thread among those vehicles that were
least stolen least frequently stolen, eight of the twenty are electric,
two of them plug in hybrids. And one of the
people who did this study said, based on the fact
that many of these are connected vehicles, whether you're connected
(07:23):
to a charger, et cetera, just having one of them,
they need to be charged on a regular basis. Many
of them keep many of the electric vehicles are kept
in garages for that reason. So they're just harder to
get into, harder to find on the street, harder to
get into if you can find them on the street.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Going up next, ultra process foods are so delicious.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Aren't they.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Well, now they're making up for more than fifty percent
of our diets.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Oh that's problem. You know.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Digget into those ultra processed foods once in a while
is totally fine, right, but not fifty percent of your diet.
That's when we get into some problems with the diabetes.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
No baseball today, No local baseball, no baseball, No, there's
like that four.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Game mood Thursday.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Thursdays don't usually have a lot of games, so there's
only four games that Angels lost to the Rais yesterday,
five before they will start a series in Detroit tomorrow
against the very tough Detroit Tigers. Dodgers lost to the
Cardinals five to three. Despite the fact that Showhy did
everything again. I know Blue Jays will come to Dodger
Stadium starting tomorrow. Incredible Blue Jays are coming off of
(08:39):
an absolute white hot series in Colorado where they outscored
the Colorado Rockies forty five to six over the course
of three games, and they had sixty three hits in
a three game series, unheard of. We all remember that
one teacher made a difference. It believes in us, that
challenged us made to learning fun. Now is your chance
(09:02):
to say thank you in a big way. With Iheartradios,
think a teacher powered by donors Choose. You can nominate
an outstanding public school teacher who's gone above and beyond
for their students to win five thousand dollars to stock
their classroom with whatever they need. You can help say
thank you to the educators that shape our future. Nominate

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Ultra process foods make up the majority of calories we're
eating that is not good. There are signs this consumption
might be declining, so they say that sandwiches, baked goods,
salty snacks, and other goodies.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Other ultra process foods.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Accounted for fifty five percent of the calories Americans age
one and older consumed over a two year period, but
they say the proportion is getting smaller. For adults, the
mean percentage of calories consumed from these foods felt three
percentage points since twenty eighteen, and for children and teens
(10:08):
it fell nearly four percentage points.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
So are we getting the word out?
Speaker 4 (10:12):
I think I think that may be part of it.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Because smoking, If we're gonna I make the parallel all
the time, because big tobacco became big ultra process foods.
I mean, they just basically changed the suit they were in.
The people that sold tobacco to kids and got all
of us hooked on it and addicted to it, those
are the same people, the same engines that are powering
(10:37):
the ultra process foods market, and so they're using the
same tools and it's working in terms of getting us
addicted with the colors, with the coolness, with the branding,
all of that. But then with smoking, the message started
to get out. You know a few decades after the
Cosmopolitan ads you know, were peak that hey, this isn't
(11:00):
good for your digestion.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
It's really bad, it'll kill you.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Here's a woman with our hole in the throat, near
death at thirty eight years old. And so I'm wondering
if the message is slowly, very slowly getting out about Yes,
ultra processed foods are delicious, but it's not normal to
eat them as much as we're doing. We're eating sixteen
serving sizes instead of one, and all of the things. Well,
I mean, I don't know if this bakery picture, you know,
(11:25):
one slice of that cake is probably three servings, right.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
And that's kind of a funny thing because that, I mean,
all food is processed somehow. That's how we Unless you
pull a carrot out of the ground and eat it,
that's on process But even that kind of stuff in
a bakery like that probably has relatively right, more natural
ingredients than if you were to buy a frozen cheesecake
(11:50):
that's stuck in a freezer for a year.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
But the thing that I want to point out about
this picture, in particular the sizes of the pieces of cake,
is it's normalized. Well it's just one piece, and that's normalized.
And that's the industry dictating to you what they want
you to think is normal. That's up to you what's
normal for your body. You know, when you start listening
to what other people are trying to feed you, you got
to ask yourself, why are they trying to feed me that.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
When you get in trouble.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
And I don't know if there's anything specific about twenty eighteen.
I mean, you mentioned that that was the time when
the percentage of calories consumed actually fell since twenty eighteen,
but you have I think we have to go back
to the beginnings of discussions about glp ones, for example,
and these ozempic and ozempic type drugs that started coming
(12:37):
into the market, and people realized that the finger Quotes's
magic pill had arrived, that you could, you know, do
something with what appeared to be very little side effects
or at least unknown side effects, and you'd stop your cravings,
you'd drop the weight, you'd have all these other health repercussions,
positive health repercussions from losing the weight, and you start
(12:59):
to think about, oh, maybe that's how I do it.
And I wonder if there's a if there's a parallel
to that, a desire to kind of push back against
the medicalization of it and say, well, there's got to
be a better way for me to do it in
a normal way.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Well, I think that people that start with the glp
ones and they do drop that initial weight, they do
start thinking because they're not eating this stuff anymore, right, Really,
their habits have changed because, like you said, the cravings
are gone, or the want to snack or whatever, it's
not there, really, And I think that that opens the
(13:38):
door for making better decisions.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I don't know, maybe.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Right, I think there's But the problem with those is, now,
what do you do when you're done with it?
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Is there such thing as I'm done with it?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Or does your body just revert back to what it
was before and you've got to start all over.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
I don't know people that have taken it and then stopped.
I don't think I do. I wouldn't know otherwise. I mean,
it's not like it's talked about that much. But you know,
I do know. Science will tell you that it's nearly
scientifically impossible to keep weight off once you lose it,
(14:17):
because your body is fighting over time to put it
back on for whatever reason.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Well, one of the things that one of the reasons
why intermittent fasting has become so popular or effective for
some people is your body is designed to go through
periods of hunger.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
That's just the way. That's why you have the feelings.
Why you have the the.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
That feeling of being hungry is so that your body
starts to do things with all of the stuff that's
on the inside. You know how scientific I'm getting, and
you're using you know, you're using what's already stored in
your body to get you through those hungry times. If
you never allow your body to be hungry, if you're
constantly eating, if you're constantly having snacks, if you're constantly
(15:05):
eating stuff, especially especially when it's that ultra process, prepackaged stuff,
you never give your body the time to do what
it's designed to do. You know, two hundred years ago,
we didn't have the amount of food that we had
available to us, and meals, like if you came to
California in the eighteen fifties, you didn't have a sit
(15:27):
down meal and then a tub of a baskin Robin's
Rainbow sherbet.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Afterwards.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
You were lucky to have hard tack and maybe a
piece of jerky or something like that. So the calorie
intake that we had two hundred years ago was technically
better for your body because that's how it did, that's
how it was designed to run.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
It's getting real. Donner party up in here.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
We're eating live animals and we don't get any ice cream.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Holy hell, I'm gonna go get some m and ms.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Just so.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Your body's telling you that right now is a good time.
We will do strange science when we come back to
Gary and Shannon.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Have you been using your creams?
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Nope?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Noh.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
Were you going to say that my skin looks great? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:21):
I was going to compliment your skin. It's more of
an internal attitude. Yeah, it's true. I've decided that my
skin looks.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Hydration does come from within, and if you're drinking more water,
that'll do it.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
A couple of those a day.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Sure, are you up in the intake of that?
Speaker 4 (16:36):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
No?
Speaker 4 (16:37):
I usually have two.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
It hasn't changed. Interesting. Hello, Gary and Shannon, my dynamic duo.
It's Bridget Bridget the ice Cube interview, top notch. No
one can touch you with that one.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I do believe it's even Marconi Award winning WHOA Material.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
WHOA Thank me later.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I love that name. It's like my one of top
five names for girls yesterday. At this time, we were
able to interview Ice Cube. Somebody was able to finagle him,
point him down the wrong hallway.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Probably Oscar worked hard on that and.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Came came into our studio and we sat down with
him for a good twenty minutes. So yeah, you can
go back and check out the podcast, of course, and
listen to our conversation with him.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Garon Shannon, Yes, a quick question. This is Donald callin
from Georgia. I love you every single day. Thank you.
Then lissen to the Clarkson family and everybody affected.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
But my question is it's a messy question. If your
spouse's ex partner passed away and they were visibly emotionally
hurt from it, are you upset?
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Are you understanding?
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Are you gonna get your feelings?
Speaker 4 (17:42):
How do you feel about how they feel? Love y'all?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I feel like it's okay for you know, for a while.
You know, if six months down the line, you're still dealing.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
With an alter to the X that's somewhere in the
in the house, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
I wouldn't not an alter altar. You know.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I'm still pissed off about that quilt you kept from
your ax.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
I don't liked that.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
There's laughter in the hallway when you say that everyone's pissed.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
We're all pissed. You should have gotten rid of the quilt.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
I did I get it? What did you? Probably a
good quote?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
What?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
No? Burn it burn?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
It wasn't a great quote, got bad energy. It did
have some bad You're damn right it did. Anyway, Let's
move on to strange.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Time for strange science. Science. It's like weird science, but
strange to.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Follow up on our processed foods that we were talking
about a new study published this week in the journal BMJ.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I hate these studies because I know French fries aren't
good for me. I know French fries. I mean remember
Mondo put that story in front of me and said,
if you're, you know, a woman over forty, you can
only have eight French fries in a sitting or else
you're gonna get fat and die.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
And it's essentially what it said.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
It's like, listen, I don't eat French fries every day,
and I certainly don't eat them thinking I'm doing something
good for my body. But I love them, and I'm
not going to stop eating the French.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Fries easy, Nancy Pelosi. I'm not smacking them out of
your hands.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Why my Nancy Pelosi now ripped.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Up that study right as I was getting into it.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Does she do that?
Speaker 4 (19:32):
She ripped up.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I don't remember anything other than.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
This, stop doing that. Never do that again. That was
your mouth. That was really weird.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Don't you remember the sound of her yes when she spoke.
That's why I don't want you to try that again, sane.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
This study suggests that swapping out your weekly dose of
French fries for boiled potatoes or baked potatoes, or even
mashed potatoes could lower your risk of type two diabetes.
They studied more than two hundred thousand adults in the
US responded to questionnaires about what they ate over nearly
four decades, and among those who consumed potatoes, the authors
(20:12):
looked at which of them developed type two diabetes. Eating
three weekly servings of French fries lucky was associated with
the twenty percent increased risk of type two diabetes three
weekly Well.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Like, I keep the aura ida frozen ones and the freezer,
because sometimes you just gotta, you know, spice up a
weekday dinner with some French fries. Sometimes you don't even
make dinner, you just make the French fries. But those
are baked right yeah, yeah, no, they're pre fried.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
You can say they're pre fried and then you bake them. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Oh they're so good.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Wait you see you're getting them in out of the
freezer bag. Yeah, so even more.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Processing goes into those French fries than other French. Do
you watch your mouth?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I'm just saying, how was Nancy Pelosi.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
I don't want you to think that you're be eating healthy.
You just just want to remind.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
You you don't need a scold time.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
You're a garbage can. I mean the food.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Wow, I am going to honk my horn in the
tunnel on the way home.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
So it should you should embrace the side of you
that's not a joyless ogre.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Speaking of studies, though, yeah, a team of researchers has
found evidence that shady organizations churn out fake or low
quality scientific studies on an industrial skill.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
This is the biggest no s of the day.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
I mean, how many studies do we have that are
just bowl s? Because all you need to do if
you want to sell a product, or say we have
I've got this this tupperware, dirty piece of tupperware, and
I want to sell dirty tupperware. I called Joe at
Joe's Research Inc. I go, hey, Joe, I'm gonna slide
you a check for forty grand.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Can you hit me up with.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
A press release from your research team that says dirty
tupperware is actually the next health crise? Joe blows can
be like sure. When that check clears, I'll shoot it
your way. The next day, I've got a team of
researchers telling me that eight out of ten scientists say
dirty tupperware is good for your gut biome. I run
(22:24):
with that. I sell more of this dirty tepperware. It's
all crap, It's all blooney. Never believe what you read
when it comes to these blowney studies.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
They said.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
By the twenty tens, journal editors science huge progress in
the last centuries because you could write down your scientific
discoveries and pass them on to the next generation, and
then they could build on your discoveries, et cetera. But
they said, by the twenty tens, journal editors and watchdog
organizations were warning that trust was under threat the trust
(22:54):
of other scientists. They flagged a growing number of papers
with fabricated information, doctored data and images, and the factors
driving the increase grew more intense, and it's only getting
worse with artificial intelligence.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
I got a text from your wife, but I don't
know if I can share yet, so so we'll just
wait and see.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
What's wrong.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
You are right, I'm trying to think of what I said,
trying to think of what you said. Hey, I've got
good news about the asteroid. It may be on its
way and it may take you out. We'll do that
when we come back, I say, And we'll see if
we get the green light. Here, still waiting for what
(23:40):
from your wife? I'm not going to share out of class.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
It's my wife, yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
But I don't need to tell you what she says.
You don't own her.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
I didn't say I own her. I just figured that
she wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
This isn't the actual Donner party?
Speaker 4 (23:56):
What does that mean? Garyan?
Speaker 1 (23:58):
You know will continue? I feel that was it a
time when you could like own your wife and which.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Oh okay, that was something about eating body parts?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Whoa, whoa.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kf
I am six forty.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Hi, this is Gary's wife.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
What was the question and why aren't you just doing
the show. Why are you asking me questions?
Speaker 4 (24:23):
That's kind of weird.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Just like, go back to the show, you guys and
I how gladly chime in if need be?
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Okay later, that didn't sound at all like my wife. Hi,
this is Gary's wife.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Oh that does not sound like you're right? Your wife
did say I could share boy. Well, it's about the quilt.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Okay, all right?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Should we retell the quilt story for people who don't
know the quilt story?
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Gary dated someone in college whose wife gave me.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Sorry, I dated someone.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Who's in college whose mom gave me a quilt because
she was into quilting for my I believe it was
for my graduation from college, because what else do you
get a twenty two year old man but a quilt?
And she wrote a nice note there was like congratulations.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Irrelevant. Everything is irrelevant. The only relevant information. It was
a quilt from your ex's mom, right, that you kept
for a long term to your forties.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
I didn't keep it in my forties.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Okay, when did you get rid of it?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I don't remember it after I started my relationship with
my wife.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Was it after you were married?
Speaker 3 (25:38):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I have a real problem with the quilt. And keeping
the quilt. I know you're a keeper of things, but
like you know, I.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Got drawing any kind it was. That's another valuable part
of my betting when I was that age, when we
do not literally mid twenties.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
In Siberia, where there are no targets, there's bedding around
every corner.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Go on.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
That is not an excuse.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
I'm taking my whooping.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Go On, she says, your wife.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
He only got rid of the quolt the quilt because
I called him out on it. Yes, if I never
said anything or made an issue, it would still be
on his bed.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
I don't know if it'd be on the bed, but
I probably still would have it.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
And then she said something very sweet. He likes to
hang on to things. I guess that works in my favor,
considering Ace kept me around for twenty eight years. That's
really sweet. That's nice. That's a nice way to end
that story.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Is Kenna crying?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Are you crying in there?
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Sweet?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Isn't it nice? That's so sweet?
Speaker 1 (26:44):
It's very sweet. I mean, I just don't know why
she keeps you around. I guess it's all our question.
She likes to get rid of stuff quickly. What happened
to the Neanderthals.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Oh, I gave that to John.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
That was let me tell you.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
I saw a story about a Neanderthal and how the
UV rays may have hurt them. And I said to
John as I handed it to him, stay out of
the sunlight.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
We'll get this. Get this little piece of science. About
forty tho years ago, Neanderthals disappeared. Homo sapiens didn't. We
know who won that one, right scoreboard. But the question
is why. We still do not know why Neanderthals took off,
(27:31):
but Homo sapiens did not. Some research now suggests and
this may be all like you said, you know, you
can get a study to tell you anything.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
This may be from the copper tone people.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Sunscreen and tailored clothing may have saved Homo sapiens, because
they're talking about.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Both things that you don't enjoy.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Both groups wore animal skins, but Neanderthals tended to wear
loose fitting cloaks of animals, whereas Homo sapiens would tailor
them a little bit, add a little bit of shape
to your body. Humans also coated themselves with mineral pigments,
which could function as sunscreen. They said it's unlikely that
(28:15):
those differences in behavior alone would have resulted in the
Anderthals disappearing, But they say the timing of this is
interesting because increased exposure can occur when the north and
south magnetic poles begin to wander from their traditional positions.
That's a matter of all the way back to the
(28:36):
magnetic field anchored at the poles forces are more concentrated there.
A change in the core can cause poles to wander,
and during the twilight of the Neanderthals, they said, there
was something called the La Champs event la a wandering,
which caused the magnetic field to drop to about ten
percent of its average strength. And in that case, the
(28:59):
earth magnetic field would not have been able to stop
all of the radiation and the particles that come in.
So imagine if today we spent most of our day
outside and ninety percent of the radiation that is usually
stopped by our atmosphere by the magnetic poles of the
(29:23):
radiation just came blaring through us. Do us us of
the fair skinned side of the planet, we would be fried.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Do you remember in the nineties when we had that
sun block that was like a stick and it was
made to look like we were the Homo sapiens like
we were like living off the land in.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Caves like the cave.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
There's like neon sunscreen, and it was very in to
just do like stripes on your face.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
What was that called?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Zinc?
Speaker 4 (29:53):
Zinc? Yeah, zinc.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Your wife has corrected you.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I am you made it sound like this was a
girlfriend in college.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Why did you were a part where the quilt was
given before I was engaged to her?
Speaker 1 (30:09):
You were engaged to this person and kept the efing
quilt into your real marriage.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Holy Jesus, Mary.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
And Joseph done one of those in a while?
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I take it back too.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
You are more likely to die from an asteroid strike
than rabies.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
And you're more likely to die from going home if
you're Gary.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Uh not, just no, not just how likely it is
that an asteroid will hit the Earth during an average
human lifespan, but how likely that impact is to cause
human deaths when compared to a selection of other rare
preventable ways to die.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
You know, rabies I think was also up there with
quicksand and the Bermuda triangle and aids. Like rabies seemed
like you could get those from like any neighborhood dog.
And I kind of blame Stephen King and Kujo for
that because that was like a mid eighties kind of
a thing.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
Did Kujo have rabies? I don't know. Oh yeah, Oh
I didn't realize it.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I don't know. I assume he had rabies.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
It was just an evil dog.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Maybe Raby's was his weapon of choice, right, But.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Don't you remember being afraid of rabies?
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (31:17):
All that stuff?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah, and you don't hear about it anymore.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Thank goodness. I think we've done away with rabies.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
I think so, But tuberculosis is making a comeback, so
don't shut the door on rabies.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Yeah, he got rabies.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Kujo, the large Saint Bernard contracts rabies after being bitten
by a rabid bat. And that's when he had the
dramatic transformation. He was a nice, family friendly dog and
became crazy and which is attack and kill people that time.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
I couldn't it have been a cat? I guess he
had pet cemetery that was?
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Was that like a dots in? They hid from him?
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Man, I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Okay, anyway, John Cobelt Show is up there else on
the Friday edition of the Gary and Shannon show tomorrow.
