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.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
And this is the latest edition of the Gas Weekend Fixed.
This is the stuff that we couldn't get to during
the week. You know, we're busy, we got stuff going on.
I mean we could have gotten I mean, we did
do underwear talk for quite a bit this week, but
we could have We did. That was important and we
needed to get through that. We just kind of needed
to get out of our systems.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
I learned years ago that you wear boxer briefs sometimes.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Oh, you've changed it up.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
No, I've never No, I've always had two piles in
my underpants drawer. There's box and briefs on the left
side and there's boxers on the right.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Okay, yeah, so but the majority of the time you
wear boxer briefs.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
I would say it's pretty good. Fifty to fifty.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Oh really, yeah, Now, what how do you decide?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
There's the kind of pants you're gonna wear.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Sometimes it's the kind of pants I'm gonna wear.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Okay, So, like, would it be safe to say every
Friday or also every Friday and every day you're wearing
a hat, which usually means you're wearing your baggy blue jeans,
that you're wearing boxers and not boxer briefs.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
No, because sometimes the baggier jeans I would prefer to
have box reefs.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Oh interesting is it? You don't want more?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
And I would also assume that on Mondays, when you
dress nice and you're wearing nice shoes and sometimes tighter pants,
that you would be wearing the boxer briefs as well
or is it work conversely?
Speaker 4 (01:45):
So not a guarantee.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Interesting. So I just never know. We just never know.
We don't know what's going on under there's what a mystery.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
It is literally a crap shoot sometimes, but.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
So there's no rhyme or reason. It's just whatever you're feeling.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I will say that if I'm lounging, like Saturday afternoon,
I'm wearing shorts or something like that, chances are its boxers, right, Yeah, Well.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Who puts on a tight fitting underwear on the weekend?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
If you're ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
If you even have to put them on in the first.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
This isn't East Germany, right, scratch America or I want
to let my genitals be free.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
On the weekend, there was a story we talked we
talked at the end of Strange Science earlier this week
about healthier, healthy est alcohols like tequila is being touted
lately as one of the cleaner alcohols, you know, less
of a hangover and stuff like that, and I've found
it surprising only because there are a lot of stories
(02:51):
now about how gen z is.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
They're still drinking.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I mean, obviously much less percentage today than when we
were that age, but they're still doing but they're doing
it in sort of their own way. And think of
just if all we did was talk about the different
products that are available to them now that weren't available
to us legally, I should say, when we were in
our early to mid twenties or something like that. And
(03:20):
they're just they're just doing everything differently. I've said before,
my wife has found this, I don't remember what it's called,
but the drink that's this uh touts itself as this
social tonic, which I always thought that's what alcohol was
in the first place, but this is.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
A non alcoholic drink.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I think part of it is that kids don't want
to be like their parents, and we drank quite a bit,
you know through I don't know, maybe it's just like
the people that I hang out going to Chico State,
you and I have kind of taken the same trajectories.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Like my youngest.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Nephew, he's just like he's sixteen, and he's just like,
why guys drink?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Like what is that about that?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Like he doesn't want anything to do with it because
that's what he's seen his parents do, throw parties or not.
His mom doesn't drink, but you know, like just it's
just part of the culture. It's part of the thing,
and it's like I don't want to do that because
you guys are doing that kind of a thing. So
part of it's, like I think, at least at least
somewhat of it is you don't want to do what
your parents have done.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah, it's funny because I like my parents.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Didn't get together with their friends and drink, like that
just wasn't a thing. So when I was a teenager,
it was cool because it was like, Oh, get together
with my friends out the reservoir, whatever, sit around a
fire and drink beer.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Yeah, out at somebody's farm is usually where we would
do it.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Sure, but I do remember that at the age of
sixteen seventeen, and you know, the first few times that
you had beer outside of the house or anything, there
was some mystery to it, like what is what's going
to happen now?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Am I going to grow hair on my chest finally?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Or what?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Right?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
You didn't know what was going to happen. I had
that same experience. My parents were never ever big drinkers,
and I don't remember, like I don't remember there being
beer in the house and the fridge or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Never Like my dad would drink, but you never knew it.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
I mean he would have like if he had a cocktail,
it would you.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Would never know it.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
It was, you know, it wasn't ever a thing where
and my mom didn't drink, so there was never a
thing of We're gonna have a glass of wine at dinner.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
That never happened. Maybe they would, they would have, they
would go out.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
To dinner and have you know, cocktails or whatever with
the family, but it wasn't a thing. It wasn't like
certainly wasn't going out for drinks on a Friday or Saturday,
we're going out for drinks or we're just drinking in
the house.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
It wasn't ever done.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
They there was a in this article that talks about
the different habits of gen Z drinking. When we were drinking,
if you went to a bar, there were times where
they would offer you an in between drink, like you
could go. You could walk up to a bar, I'll
use Duffies is an example, and order a shot of
something and a beer chaser right and that beer was
(06:06):
considered what they refer to as an in between drink to.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Sort of.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Pacee out your hard liquor so you're not doing crushing
three or four shots right away. They said that there
are at various music venues in bars around the country
now they will serve zero proof alternatives. So you may
have a drink like a whiskey, but your chaser is
going to be non alcoholic. You're not going to have
(06:33):
a beer. Just to slow the paste down for everybody
that's involved.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
That's the smart thing to do, which I could never do,
but I knew that it was helpful. Is to have
a drink and then have a bottle of water or
a glass of water, have a drink, have another glass
of water like that way you are hydrating yourself and
you don't get drunk as quick.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
It's just real hard once.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
You have a couple pops to just dial it back
and settle for the water.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
You're already traveling a freeway speed at that point, right,
I mean.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
You know what I mean, It's like, why would I
want a water? What am I gonna do with that?
Speaker 4 (07:09):
I'm just gonna have to peel a lot more. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
They also talk about the widely available what they refer
to as functional beverages, drinks that do include an added
function like stress relief from an herb or obviously, the
cannabis drinks that are available now, sort of carving out
their own role when it comes to socializing it that
haven't I've never tried one of those cannabis drinks.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
I don't know if I.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Haven't either, And I don't trust it because I don't.
First of all, I'm not a weed person.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I don't enjoy. I never I want.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I mean, it's not that I wanted to be a
weed person, but I tried. You know, calming down isn't
a bad move for me, but I just never took
to it. I did not like it. I didn't like
feeling numb like that. I didn't like feeling sluggish. I
didn't like any of that, and I don't know how
it's gonna affect me in terms of how much I know.
(08:05):
And I've always said this, I know what two glasses
of wine are going to do, or two bottles or whatever.
I don't know how much weed is going to affect me,
because you don't know what kind of weed you're getting.
You don't and especially now, there's so many different strains.
I don't even know if I'm saying it correctly, but
there's so many different types that you don't know that
I don't know. I should say I don't know what
(08:26):
that's gonna do. And I just don't want a chance.
I don't want it to be a mystery. You know,
it's very fun when you're young to be like.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
What's this acid going to do? I don't know, I
don't know, But when you're old, it's not fun to
not know.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
I would be curious.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I didn't know the statistic recent Gallup poll or twenty
twenty five, how many Americans on average, well, how many
Americans say they have occasion to use alcoholic beverages liquor wine, beer?
Speaker 4 (08:57):
How many America occasions they just say that they would drink.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Like occasions. What a week?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
No, it's it's a funny way to write it, but
it's just what's the percentage of Americans who drink who
say they consume alcohol?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Oh, seventy two, fifty four percent?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
And in fact, you know what, I've it peaked at
seventy two percent way back in nineteen seventy five.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
See, that was a good time. I missed it, but
it sounds like it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I I had never realized how much people don't drink
until I stopped drinking. Yeah, it's fascinating to me. It's like,
whoa you know, you're looking around at parties or most
people have a drink maybe two. It's interesting, rookies. It's
(09:48):
not people don't drink as much as you think. I
don't think, no, And maybe it's just I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Well that I think is also the power of advertising.
There's an expectation. You see commercials all the time, and
it makes it look like everybody's drinking every single day.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
It is so true. You're so right about that. Plus
that is not the case.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Because you can get it everywhere, right. I mean, you
walk to a gas station when you're filling up and
you go, oh, let me just grab that twelve pack.
You get it at restaurants, you get it at grocery stores.
I mean it's there. They're all over the place. So
I think you're right. There is the perception that but
if that number is right.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
If that gas automatic, yeah, that's wild. As automatic is
it is for me to just order a drink with
dinner or lunch or breakfast or whatever.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
It's just as automatic for people to not. Yeah, you know,
and you're right. It did get to a point I think.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I think it was like pandemic or shortly after that,
where I realized how drenched and advertising advertising for liquor
we are, whether it's wine in California or what have you.
You're right, every billboard, every ad, it makes it seem
like it's going on all the time, when in reality,
like you said, what, fifty fifty four percent.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yeah, which that's a stunning thing.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I mean, when you look at the sort of the
bar graph of that alcohol use over the course of
several decades, it goes way up from World War Two
to the end of World War two, it spikes pretty significantly,
comes down in the fifties, and then gradually from the sixties,
it goes way back up into the seventy percent, seventy
two percent I believe who say that they drink at
(11:26):
some point, compared to fifty four percent today, which seems
wildly low.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
But I mean.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
The attitude has changed, and especially if the younger adults
are the ones who are abstaining more, then.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
They're going to affect those numbers pretty significantly.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah, it'll the pendulum will swing. Like I feel like
everyone's not drinking now, and then in ten years everyone
will be drinking. It's the same thing with everything else, right.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Only they're off their phones, but they're drinking more.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Well, you know what, I would be surprised if there's
a correlation there in terms of at least social drinking,
because when you're together and you're on your phone, you
don't have that extra hand.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
I guess you gotta.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Find something to do with it. All right, have fun.

No, it's it's a funny way to write it, but
it's just what's the percentage of Americans who drink who
say they consume alcohol?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Oh, seventy two, fifty four percent?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
And in fact, you know what, I've it peaked at
seventy two percent way back in nineteen seventy five.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
See, that was a good time. I missed it, but
it sounds like it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I I had never realized how much people don't drink
until I stopped drinking. Yeah, it's fascinating to me. It's like,
whoa you know, you're looking around at parties or most
people have a drink maybe two. It's interesting, rookies. It's
(09:48):
not people don't drink as much as you think. I
don't think, no, And maybe it's just I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Well that I think is also the power of advertising.
There's an expectation. You see commercials all the time, and
it makes it look like everybody's drinking every single day.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
It is so true. You're so right about that. Plus
that is not the case.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Because you can get it everywhere, right. I mean, you
walk to a gas station when you're filling up and
you go, oh, let me just grab that twelve pack.
You get it at restaurants, you get it at grocery stores.
I mean it's there. They're all over the place. So
I think you're right. There is the perception that but
if that number is right.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
If that gas automatic, yeah, that's wild. As automatic is
it is for me to just order a drink with
dinner or lunch or breakfast or whatever.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
It's just as automatic for people to not. Yeah, you know,
and you're right. It did get to a point I think.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I think it was like pandemic or shortly after that,
where I realized how drenched and advertising advertising for liquor
we are, whether it's wine in California or what have you.
You're right, every billboard, every ad, it makes it seem
like it's going on all the time, when in reality,
like you said, what, fifty fifty four percent.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Yeah, which that's a stunning thing.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I mean, when you look at the sort of the
bar graph of that alcohol use over the course of
several decades, it goes way up from World War Two
to the end of World War two, it spikes pretty significantly,
comes down in the fifties, and then gradually from the sixties,
it goes way back up into the seventy percent, seventy
two percent I believe who say that they drink at
(11:26):
some point, compared to fifty four percent today, which seems
wildly low.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
But I mean.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
The attitude has changed, and especially if the younger adults
are the ones who are abstaining more, then.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
They're going to affect those numbers pretty significantly.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah, it'll the pendulum will swing. Like I feel like
everyone's not drinking now, and then in ten years everyone
will be drinking. It's the same thing with everything else, right.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Only they're off their phones, but they're drinking more.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Well, you know what, I would be surprised if there's
a correlation there in terms of at least social drinking,
because when you're together and you're on your phone, you
don't have that extra hand.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
I guess you gotta.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Find something to do with it. All right, have fun.
