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 (00:07):
Did you want to tell the story of a friend
of ours?

Speaker 3 (00:09):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (00:09):
Yeah, this is funny.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
So a friend of ours who works here adjacent, Yes,
works here sometimes we don't see him all the time?
Was telling a love story? Do you have any love
story music? He says he woke up in the middle
of the night, Not to brag or anything, but woke
up in the middle of the night and started some

(00:33):
sexy time with his wife and it had gone on
for some time, and then she reached over and because
it's dark right in the middle of the night, and
kind of touches his face to make.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
Sure it's She goes, I wanted to make sure it
was you.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
He's like, what the hell it was somebody.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Else's whole time? How romantic is that? I was like,
good for you.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
That's pretty funny. What else is going on? Time for
what's happening?

Speaker 5 (01:10):
Well, among other things, the Munich Security Conference is going
on over in you know, Munich.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
That's why they call it that.

Speaker 5 (01:17):
The Vice President jd Vance caused some European feathers to
ruffle a bit. Today, according to the BBC, he launched
a scalding attack on European democracies and said that the
greatest threat facing the continent was not from Russia and China,
but from within. He spent the majority accusing majority of

(01:38):
his time accusing European governments of retreating from their values,
ignoring voter concerns on migration and free speech. He repeated
the Trump administration's line that Europe must step up in
a big way to provide for its own defense. This
is what he said about his boss's opinion of Europe.
He believes that our European friends must play a bigger

(01:58):
role in the future sure of this continent. One of
the things that I've seen specifically talked about with jd
Vance is the family aspect of that guy, his wife,
usha his kids that are traveling with them. And there
was an image of the kids all getting off the airplane.
They're wearing their jackets. They're in northern Europe. It's probably

(02:20):
a bit chilly because you know it's February, and they're
wearing their pajamas under their their what do you call
it under there?

Speaker 1 (02:27):
It's great coats so that is great. Well, the storm
is on its way out of southern California. There were
some floods reported. You saw a pch probably on the news.
Neighborhoods and freeways did cause more crashes than usual congestion
as well. Yesterday Downtown LA received a record two point
eight inches of rainfall, breaking a record set in nineteen

(02:50):
fifty four. Elsewhere, the coldest burst of Arctic air is
headed to well other places on the East Coast. As
you can imagine as well, there are different weather forces,
they say, in the Arctic combining to push the chili

(03:11):
air that usually stays near the North Pole not just
into the US but also Europe. To your point about
being cold there, this will be the tenth time this
winter that the polar vortex stretches like a rubber band
to send some of the biggest chill south. In a
normal winter, the polar vortex happens maybe two or three times.

(03:33):
This is the tenth.

Speaker 5 (03:35):
I'm not convinced that people, well, they know how to
deal with it. If you're an international falls is that Minnesota? Yeah,
you know what twenty below feels like. That's not an
out of the ordinary thing. I mean to do it
that many times is probably not comfortable, but you've.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Been have the clothing.

Speaker 5 (03:53):
Egg prices obviously have been a headline generator for the
last several weeks, couple of month.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Months.

Speaker 5 (04:01):
Back when egg prices were about two bucks for a dozen,
Nevada and several other states passed cage free egg laws.
Now four years later, you're talking about an average national
price of a dozen eggs at two and a half
times that because of the lingering bird flu.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
The law passed.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
A Nevada law passed by the governor, signed into effect
by the governor, allows the state to suspend that law
temporarily in hopes of getting people some relief at the
egg counter. Now, when they relax the cage free rule,
Nevada might get access to some eggs, but the supply
of all eggs is still tight because we've had to

(04:43):
kill cull, whichever term you choose, one hundred and fifty
nine million chickens since the bird flu outbreak began a
couple of years ago to try to limit the spread
of the virus. Well, it wouldn't be a Philadelphia sports
parade without a couple injuries, and in this case, Howie Roseman,
the GM of the Philadelphia Eagles was hit by a

(05:05):
beer can at the Super Bowl parade today.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
Street cred right there.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
It's nice to see a GM getting a little dust stop,
isn't It.

Speaker 5 (05:13):
Would have been funny if it was one of the
players that threw the beer can, it would have been.
But it's appropriate relationship with him, it's appropriate.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
That it is good one of the fans. That doesn't.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Okay, coming up night, did you sell a crap Jacob
put in my purse?

Speaker 5 (05:26):
I thought that was just surreptitious. I honestly thought it
was just stuff you had in your purse.

Speaker 3 (05:30):
I know.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
And that's the joke. I mean, it's funny because I
do have a lot of stuff in my purse. But
Jacob appair Oftch tape dispenser there spending all day emptying
office supplies into my purse under your marker, dry erase markers,
two pairs of scissors, Yes, an entire.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
Scotch tape dispenser in a can of lysole.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
You might want to lightsle, you might want to keep that.

Speaker 5 (05:52):
Hey, you two morons, I'm pretty sure you could drown
in a whales mouth.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Okay, now, out of context, that doesn't make it.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
That was just hurtful, sir, and on Valentine's Day, moron god.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Gary Shannon, Yes, what about your Valentine's stories?

Speaker 2 (06:09):
How did each of you meet your spouses? Well? I
met Shannon's husband after the no.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
I think it was before you guys got married that
I actually we met at some social event.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
When did you meet my wife? It's probably that same event.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Whatever it was, I know one of the time that
I may have met her, But the first time I spoke,
we spoke how a conversation. I think it was at
a Handle advertiser party.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Oh yes, that well, that would make sense.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Circa two thousand and eight.

Speaker 5 (06:48):
Your brain washes itself at night. Thankfully, I can forget major.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Person wanted to know how we met our spouse's, how
I met my spouse, How you met your spouse. I
think that's what he meant.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
Not when did we meet.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Each other's spouses?

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Well, then he should have been more. Doesn't make much
sense why your brain washes itself at night.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
I love this story because you think you're going to
bed for some shut eye and some rest and just
to turn off, But your brain has a whole house
keeping list of things to do while you sleep and
if you drug it, it doesn't get its housework done,
and then your brain is all dirty.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
You lay on the couch all day, your stupid lazy brain.

Speaker 6 (07:26):
Yeah, you're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from
KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Sleep is great.

Speaker 5 (07:34):
Sleep is fun if you're good at it, It can
be very rewarding.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
It can be so refreshing when you get a good
night's sleep and you wake up like that is the
best feeling. One of the things that happens when you
sleep is your brain is working over time, specifically brainwashing.
This means your glymphatic system and intri network of vessels

(08:01):
clears toxic waste from the brain, including ammiloid beta and
tau proteins linked to Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia,
clears out the detritus while you sleep.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
Now, if you use a sleep aid, that.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
May suppress your brain's ability to carry out this important
task and may in fact lead to dementia.

Speaker 5 (08:30):
About eight and a half percent of US adults say
they do take medicine to help them sleep. According to CDC,
women are more likely to do so than men.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
I've never taken anything more than the lowest dose of
melatonin or what have you. But I do notice it's
a maybe it's just in my head. That's also probably
in my head where I feel a little bit foggier
if I take it. But could you imagine being on
like heavy duty sleeping pills for a long duration of
time and how that you would think that that would

(09:01):
I would think it would accumulate.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Well, you get to the point where it doesn't take,
it doesn't effect.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
Build up a tolerance, and then you may take more.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
And that becomes an issue.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
I've heard stories of acquaintances I wouldn't call them friends,
but stories from people who have used sleep aates like
that and done crazy in the middle of the night.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
Like what I mean, I've heard the sleepwalking stuff.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
Yeah, well, you know, eating their way through an entire
refrigerator and not remembering it.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Oh, that's unfortunate because that's a lot of calories that
you don't even get any sort of enjoyment out of, right,
Like you didn't know that you ate three ice cream
sandwiches and you may have liked to, I.

Speaker 5 (09:43):
Mean you think about you talked about the brainwashing, the
glim fatic system and how it clears toxic ways from
the brain. So obviously there would be an inherent negative
with not getting enough sleep, health problems, cognitive problems. Poor
sleep is tied to depression, poor work, perfeit.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
I wonder if that's also if sleep aid sleep falls
under the umbrella of poor sleep, like even though you're sleeping.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
So they do say.

Speaker 5 (10:11):
The most widely used sleep aids do include a class
of medicines known as benzodiazepines like xanax, valium, adavan. They
relieve anxiety, they can induce sleep. They're only available by prescription,
and they work by slowing down your central nervous system
that causes sleepiness and the feeling of relaxation. Medicines that

(10:32):
are known as Z drugs. Their generic names actually begin
with the letter z ambient lunesta, sonata. They enhance the
activity of a neurotransmitter called gabba gaba, which also can
slow down the brain. The problem is sleeping pills are sedatives.
They lower that brain activity, which is why you can
actually sleep better or at least get the impression you're

(10:54):
sleeping better, But the problems that are associated with the
slowdown of your brain it also impedes its ability to
do that. Brainwashing that it's supposed to do. People think
that over the counter sleep aids are safe and good
to take, according to the Mayo Clinic's Division of Community
Internal Medicine in Scottsdale, but says they can have just

(11:16):
as much cognitive risk as some of the prescription drugs,
and a lot of medications that people use for sleep
weren't actually designed for sleep, and that can be dangerous.
Both prescription and non prescription medications can interfere with your
mental acuity, but it's not clear whether that kind of
effect is going to be permanent. On the other side, obviously,

(11:38):
poor sleep is not a preferable alternative. Sleep is when
the brain takes out, it's trash the brainwashing function that
we have said, And there are some pretty amazing what's
the word stories of people who have done simple things

(12:00):
when it comes to changing their sleep hygiene, like what
wa term, but.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Just preparing them like turning off the phone, don't look
at the blue light, Yeah, read a book or something,
don't stimulate yourself before you go to bed. All of
that's that's all very helpful and you notice it right away.

Speaker 5 (12:16):
And there's simple, I mean, there's just physical things you
can do, not just the mental stimulation. You don't want
to watch your shows too much or the exciting shows,
or you want to you want to slow the brain
down by reading something before you go to bed. All
of that, there's also the physical things of you know,
you take a hot shower or you sit in the
hot tub and some you know, those physical hacks almost

(12:38):
that you can do to get your body prepared for that.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Sometimes I go back to the story. It's awful story.
I fell asleep at the wheel when I was a teenager.
I was a smoker back then, and I remember thinking,
and I would have gone all out all night dancing
or whatever. And I remember it was like five in
the morning, and I remember thinking, I want a cigarette.
I'm too tired to have a cigarette, and then I
I'll sleep at the wheel. That was the last thing
I remember thinking, is I'm too tired to have a

(13:04):
cigarette or whatever.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Well, you were a catch and.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
I was not. I am not, I will never be.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
But the point is is I have that feeling sometimes
when I'm watching like a show in bed or whatever,
like on my iPad or what have you, and then
I'm like, yo, you know what I should read? And
then I'm like you know what, I'm too tired to read,
and I'm like that right there as an indicator. Go
they have to sleep. If you're too tired to read,
then you're probably too tired to be doing whatever, watching

(13:30):
your show or looking through your phone or whatever.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
Just go to sleep.

Speaker 5 (13:35):
Sleep called the cigarette rule, Shannon, Sleepy time, cigarette rule.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
All right?

Speaker 5 (13:41):

Speaker 9 (14:46):

Speaker 8 (14:46):
I'll be thinking about you this weekend.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Oh you're doing your second family.

Speaker 8 (14:51):
Oh and I just wanted to let you know that
what I learned this last week was that Shannon is
a wonderful woman. She loves to take time off, and
her teeth a right.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Now and hope they should be healthy.

Speaker 8 (15:04):
And Gary's family doesn't really know the difference.

Speaker 4 (15:07):
Between a uvula and a volva.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Okay, I mean the entire family, does it? Just my dad,
to be honest.

Speaker 10 (15:16):
This week on the Gary and Shannon Show, I learned
that Leona Cornets and other Dutch linguists are studying how
cows communicate. The Dutch steer clear of saying it's an
actual language. The cows don't utter words of per se ah,
they use visual and audio and their environment. You can
communicate with each other anyway. That's what I heard. Y'all

(15:40):
have good weekend.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
That feels like it was about four months ago that
we were talking about speaking cow yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
With their ears in the flat and all that sort
of stuff.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
I learned on the Gary and Shannon Show that Abraham
Lincoln was a competitive wrestler and he only lost one
match out of three hundred.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
They use those unitards back then.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Thanks for the education the wrestling single about Abe Lincoln.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
I'm asking what they want to know what you're asking?
I don't think you know what I'm asking.

Speaker 11 (16:12):
Hey, guys, this is mad Cow from Nevado. Hey man,
what I learned this week is that Shannon knows Dittay
Squad about marine biology, but still love your show.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Carry on things.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
You have to narrow it down? Is that about the whale?
I think it's about the whales and the teeth. Yeah,
the hell you know about whales teeth? Sorry, I didn't
realize that was common knowledge.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
And he's from Nevado.

Speaker 5 (16:37):
Apparently that's taught up there and you just weren't paying attention.

Speaker 12 (16:40):
Yeah, I have a for your segment on what you
learned this week? Yes, well, Gary and Shannon, what I
learned this week was there was a difference between autobiography
and a memoir. Okay, autobiography is about dates and stuff,
and memoir is people that you've met and influence to one.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Way or another.

Speaker 4 (17:01):
Yeah, anecdotes.

Speaker 12 (17:02):
I actually used it this week.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
Cool. I don't think I've ever thought about the difference.

Speaker 6 (17:07):
I had it.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
I know I had it, so I learned that as well.

Speaker 9 (17:10):
Okay, greetings gas, Hey, this is JB in the OC.
And this week on Gary and Shannon, I learned that

I am bringing Mimosa's and donuts. Yes please, and thank
you yep. And to Shannan, thanks for reminding us all

(17:32):

Grandma had a Volvo, but she called it kids.

Speaker 4 (17:45):
Get in the volva?

Speaker 2 (17:47):
Hey, Gary, Hey, Shanning's Johnny, Connecticut.

Speaker 12 (17:50):
What did I learn this week.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
On the Gary and Channing Show.

Speaker 13 (17:53):
Well, yesterday, while Shannon was getting her root canal, Gary

In a back yup, this week on The Gary and
Shannon Show, I learned that mister Hoffman likes to play
doctor or liked maybe he still likes it.

Speaker 6 (19:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Kind of creepy glad to know you're Gary, I mean,
but not that much.

Speaker 5 (19:16):
Okay, well, you don't have to come over and play doctor.
I was in this scenario that I was laying out.
I was the prospective patient.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
We know the scenario. Okay, it doesn't make it creepy
any less creepy that you are the patient. You'd probably
read bread here. And what I learned on the Gary
and Shannon Show this week a friend, is.

Speaker 13 (19:35):
That Shannon prefers to have her a giant Schnauzer tripped.

Speaker 5 (19:40):
Yeah, that's it, giant Shnazzer tripped.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
Oh dog show got it?

Speaker 6 (19:51):
Hey, Gary and Shannon.

By Gary and Shannon Doug from San Diego.

Speaker 11 (20:11):
What I learned today on the Gary and Shannon Show
is that Shannon is hot for Gary's wife. I'll be
Valentine's Day.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
I didn't say I want to have sex with her.

Speaker 4 (20:22):
I said I don't have sex with her. It's different things. God,
you guys, listen more careful.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
You need to know. Here's our honorable mention.

Speaker 3 (20:35):
Honorable mention not.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
Sharing with you.

Speaker 5 (20:47):
Great and honorable motive.

Speaker 10 (20:48):
So today we're holding auditions to become the newest member
of honorable mention.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
You've got birthday wishes, don't you.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Probably when you were a kid, it was you know what,
go to a baseball game, something like that, something that
you well. This woman I named Loretta had one wish
for her one hundred and fourth birthday.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
She wanted to go to the local jail.

Speaker 5 (21:09):
Sheriff's office was more than happy to help one hundred
and four year old Loretta live out that dream. So
they took her from the Avon Nursing and rehab Facility
in the western New York town of Avon and visited
the Livingston County jail. Did they talk about why? She
just said she'd never been to jail and wanted to
see what it looked like. Her advice on how to

(21:30):
live long, mind your business and stay out of jail.
You think they gave her some pruno.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
No, they did.

Speaker 5 (21:37):
They are handing her shackles though in that first picture
she's sitting in her wheelchair and someone's handing her some paces.

Speaker 4 (21:43):
That's fascinating birthday wish at one hundred and four.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Here's number nine. Number nine, I did ninth.

Speaker 14 (21:50):
Place of a cock's dirty nine times out of tennis
partner's dirty two?

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Can I speak nine languages?

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Yeah? Right, basically everybody at table? Then I'd feel ready
to go another nine and niner?

Speaker 1 (22:01):
Did I catch at niner in there where you're calling from?

Speaker 2 (22:03):
All walkie talking?

Speaker 12 (22:04):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Man, I wish this was a law. I wish this
was a law.

Speaker 5 (22:09):
A man was slapped with an over two hundred dollars
fine for using the speaker phone while in a train
station in a city in France, only identified as David,
was chatting with his sister on speakerphone. An official from
the France state owned rail company A men walked up

(22:30):
and said, if I don't turn off my loud speaker,
I was going to be fined one hundred and fifty euros.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Is there anything more obnoxious than having somebody in public
on their speaker phone carrying on their conversation at volume.

Speaker 5 (22:44):
Well, I see people walking like out of breath walking,
and they're speaking on their speakerphone as opposed to just
holding their phone up to their face.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
You get to your ear. Nobody wants to hear your conversation.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
There's number eight.

Speaker 14 (22:57):
Yeah, a CID is bold every eight second, listening to
eight different bosses drawn on about mission statements.

Speaker 15 (23:12):
Hey, Japan's hen Na Hotel first open in twenty fifteen,
and it was notable because this hotel opened with a
staff of robots.

Speaker 5 (23:24):
Yeah, they had two hundred and forty three robots that
were supposed to be providing traditional human provided services for guests.
Now they have said they're going to cut the number
of robots in half because they are only going to
have the robots where they found them to be effective
and efficient. It didn't do a whole lot to reduce

(23:45):
the workload for the human employee.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
There were complaints from both the staff and the customers.
A large percentage were more adept at creating work for
their human counterparts or were they.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
By the way, hen Na in Japanese translates to straight
the strange.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
Should we start saying hen Nah went something strange?

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Why?

Speaker 5 (24:06):
Because we'll forget it and then we'll go what was
it supposed to be? The Japanese thing we're supposed to say,
and then it'll be stupid.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
Number seven.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
The seventh son of the seventh son.

Speaker 11 (24:19):
We're on seventh day, seven seven eight seven years of college.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
Done to drain seven days.

Speaker 5 (24:31):
I mean, it's one thing to do exercise on a beach,
like I dream of a good beach body. I'm going
to do it by the beach, or I'm going to
be outside or by the pool or something like that.
But in Zimbabwe they do exercise club in a cemetery.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
Ah trying to full death. How hen nah?

Speaker 2 (24:53):
I thought we weren't going to do that.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
You weren't.

Speaker 5 (24:57):
Squat's lunges stretches the upbeat music in the background for
Nellie motandwa.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
I guess it reminds you you're you're gonna be there
one day. Why not enjoy and be healthy now while
you still can.

Speaker 5 (25:09):
While you still can, She says. She manages her diabetes
by doing exercises in the cemetery.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
Says Nelly, there's number six. I got six, You got six,
She got six, number six, there's six more weeks of later.

Speaker 3 (25:26):
What do you have picture of me?

Speaker 9 (25:27):
Or Rabbi and six drunk and longshomy.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
We just dig you in a nursing home closer to us.
I don't have to drive, stick down, drink another six pack,
perfect of Canada.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
There is a woman who is sharing her experience as
a warning to others she handed fifty thousand dollars to
a psychic who promised her she would be able to
now start a romantic relationship with a man from her gym.
So it didn't work, Joanne separated from her husband and

(25:56):
began visiting the psychic in the fall of twenty thirteen.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
She said it was always fun and entertaining, which is
what psychics should be used for. Fun and entertainment, not matchmaking.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
She told the psychic she was interested in starting a
new romance with a man she had noticed at the
gym when she did the reading. She said, I can
bring this man closer to you for five hundred and
fifty dollars. But then there were more payments as the
love connection continued to not happen.

Speaker 5 (26:29):
She said, I transferred twelve to fifteen thousand dollars, but
she wanted cash, so I was dropping off lots and
lots of cash.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
Did this guy look like she was prod I just
give him the fifteen grand and he'd give you a
roll in the hay.

Speaker 5 (26:42):
She was asked to buy gold bars at Costco, which
were then going to be used in ceremonies with candles
to help make the romance.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Bloss that's not what you need to make the romance blossom.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
Fifty thousand, two hundred and thirty two dollars over the
course of one year.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Again, if you were a dude single and some broad
came up and gave you fifty grand, you'd you'd.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
Put out for that, right, that's prostitution. Such a rule
followers number five.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Five rules, we beg five.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
Little monkey, this is the year five point five. Oh my,
oh my gosh.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
I saw immediately.

Speaker 5 (27:24):
I saw a video today that I could not watch.
And those are hard to come by for me. I mean,
I've seen some bad videos. There was an artific there
was an AI video that showed a person turning into
a giant spider and eating another person. No, and I
only got like the first couple of frames into it.

(27:44):
It just showed up on my Twitter feed and I
immediately had to scroll past it because.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
It was one of those like there's something just visceral
about it.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
I didn't know you subscribed to snuff film.

Speaker 5 (27:54):
I didn't either, trust me. It's a new personality that
I didn't know existed in this guy. But a guy
in Melbourne, Australia described the feeling of the shutters when
he had a bunch of snakes removed from a pile
of mulch in his backyard. The Reptile Relocation Society showed
up to his house. They said he had watched about
six snakes slither into the mulch pile, and he thought,

(28:16):
I don't need to know half a dozen snakes in
the mulch pile. So he learned from an Internet search
that pregnant known as gravid relly red belly black snakes
pile on top of each other before they give birth.
So he thought, well that I don't want a pile
of six pregnant snakes. When the Reptile Relocation Sydney showed

(28:39):
up to his house, they raked away the mulch and
bagged one hundred and two snakes under that mulch pile.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
Now kill them.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
They don't have to kill them. You just get him
out of my house. I don't need him there. There's
number four.

Speaker 14 (28:57):
Fourth tranquilizer by now commandment number four.

There is a global seafood company Maui that is offering
a bounty. There are a bunch of salmon with a
bounty on their head.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
That's right. Escape salmon.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Twenty seven thousand salmon went missing from a farm off
the Norwegian coast. They say this was a disaster for
wild salmon. So they're offering a reward of about thirty
bucks per salmon.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yeah, and what you think about it? They said that the.

Speaker 5 (29:35):
Escaped farm raised salmon pose an environmental problem. They endanger
the wild salmon because they reduce genetic diversity, They increase
infection from sea lice and then can intensify competition for
the spawning How.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Do you know the difference between a farm raised salmon
and a wild salmon? When you're a fisherman, when I
so you can pick and choose, you just throw your
line out there and.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
Whatever bites right.

Speaker 5 (29:57):
Sometimes they'll snip a fin, they'll out of fin sometimes,
how you're.

Supposed to see that?

Speaker 1 (30:02):
And how do you know?

Speaker 4 (30:03):
How do you target a fish?

Speaker 5 (30:04):
You throw it back. If you catch one that's wild,
I think you can catch it and throw it back.
If you catch one that's got the snipped fin, then
you keep gotcha.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Gotcha?

If what I'm assuming is like rheumatoid arthritis or other things,
I'm a I'll pour a urine on it if it's
gonna if there's a chance it'll work. Right, if you're
living with arthritis and there's something that could work and

Speaker 5 (32:17):
A man who was caught with his pants down in
a sauna was simply warming up his chicken literally. This
was the Tom Husband Leisure Center at Salford University in
Birmingham in the UK. He had his shorts down to
his knees and was touching himself when somebody else walked in.

(32:38):
Prosecutor said he had become aroused by the feeling of
the pool jets on his backside, and he admitted, yes,
I was touching my private parts. But I was not
masturbating and it was not sexual. He said he was
cold from having been swimming, and he put his hands
into his shorts to warm himself. Now, I don't know
exactly where the chicken comes in, but apparently he told

(33:01):
them that he was there simply warming up his chicken,
and the bubbles tickle warming up his chicken. I've never
heard that one before. You miss any part or all
of the If you probably miss.

Speaker 4 (33:17):
