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):
I don't know if you saw the youth baseball coaches
that were fired. No, so two youth base tried again.
Two youth baseball coaches have been fired from the Lake Bluff,
Illinois All Star team for under twelves. They had traveled

(00:30):
to an upstate tournament in New York, an upstate New
York tournament and played at Cooperstown. One of my nephews
played there many summers ago, and the video that's now
circulating online shows these two unidentified coaches from Lake Bluff,
Illinois stripping down under the field lights at night while
their team was in Cooperstown for a tournament last weekend.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Well, the kids weren't there. No, the kids were there.
They weren't at the field. Yes, the kids were at
the field. Oh.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
One of the coaches wear nothing but running shoes, slides
head first into home plate as these stunned children laugh.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Okay, the children aren't the problemblum entirely with that story.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Naked sliding. Yeah, I had first problem. Yeah is a problem.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
That is that's yeah, that guy's gonna have some odd
scabs in some interesting areas.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Well, a big, beautiful.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Bill has passed overnight session, hours of floor debate, eight
plus hours of delay by the Minority leader Jakim Jeffries,
who got up there as his right to do, but
simply delayed what was the inevitable two hundred and eighteen
votes in the affirmative two hundred and fourteen against two
Republican members did side with Democrats in the opposition, but

(02:36):
in this case this is basically all of some of
the early President Trump campaign promises come true. The extension
of tax breaks to a bunch of people, businesses are
projected to tax breaks also for businesses projected to add
trillions to the national debt. Some tax relief also for

(02:57):
senior citizens. People are not going to get taxed on tips,
among other things. The biggest issue is going to be
the access to medicaid, and medicaid specifically is going to
get be tougher for a lot of people to get.
And the number that has been floated out there is
somewhere between eleven and twelve million people would lose their

(03:22):
health insurance is the word that's being used, but I'm
not sure if it's as it's as simple as saying
that beyond tax relief healthcare, the bill does increase defense spending.
It adds about one hundred and fifty billion dollars to
fund border security and mass deportations. That exponentially increases the
budget for immigration and customs enforcement.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
Well, there's a new scam in Los Angeles and drivers
are being warned about it to look out for fraudulent
tow truck drivers. They're called tow truck bandits and they're
monitoring radio traffic rushing to crash scenes. Pose is helpful
tow truck operators. According to the DA's office, once these

(04:05):
people tow your car, they demand outrageous fees or refuse
to return your vehicle until the inflated charges are paid.
Much like, oh, I don't know, normal tow yards, which
should all be should be locked up. All the all
they'd shut down and locked up are tod costs to
get out of there.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
It's ridiculous, hundreds of dollars and it goes up every
single day.

Speaker 6 (04:29):
When did your car get towed this weekend? Actually, it
just happened. So I just went to a tow yard
for the first time the past couple of days, and
it was three seventy to get my car out, and
it was probably there for less than a day, right
less than it's like two hours, Like it just happened.
I was like, my car's not here, and then I
had to like discover where it was, like I had

(04:49):
to like call three four different places. Finally found it,
and it's like, yeah, it's crazy.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
It's it's almost a real ding dong when your car
gets towed, because uh, well, for me, for the majority
of my life. My cars were worth about five hundred dollars.
So I'd look out front a couple of times my
car has been towed. I'd look out front my cars
on there, I go, oh, it's stolen again, like it
got stolen. And then it's like, oh, call the towyards
or call the tow yards, and there'll be one that

(05:16):
has it, and I'm like, Okay, how much is it
going to cost? I remember being four hundred bucks, four
hundred and twenty bucks a couple of times I had
it towed and thinking like that would have been the
same if it was stolen, Like that's a real ding dom.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
At that point, the better outcome you just say keep it,
I'll go get a new one. Yeah, essentially, I mean,
do you remember that?

Speaker 1 (05:37):
And not that long ago there was I think she
was like a local local or national, a reporter or
a newsperson who got caught on video bitching at the
guy behind the counter at the towyard and.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
She belittled him. Do you remember this. We did tell
a show she belittled.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
The guy that was working there because she was just
it was out of frustration that her car was to
all the things we're talking about. But she took it
out on the guy at the tow yard who doesn't
run the place, and went viral, and it was the
whole thing she had to apologize was this whole deal.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
But it was like I get it.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
I mean, it is frustrating and maddening when your car
gets towed and the just the larceny, just the robbery
that goes on.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Well in this case, they're telling people to things to
watch out for when it comes to these fraudulent tow
truck drivers. First of all, if the tow truck shows
up before you call for a tow truck, a tow
truck driver who insists on taking your car to a
specific shop, not yours but one that they suggest, or
a tow truck driver that offers a ride share for you.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
Most of them, I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
In any time I've had this, the tow truck driver
will offer to give you a ride somewhere, which may
also be you know, maybe a red flag for you.
But they said, you can always wait for the law
enforcement to be there before you have your vehicle towed,
and always check with the HP or your insurance company
to make sure that the toe company is is real

(07:11):
It's going to be a mild weather through the weekend,
nothing crazy in terms of high temperatures. But next week
they're saying things could get very, very warm, making way
for the first significant heat wave of the summer, significant
long duration heat wave, triple digit heats for interior valleys
and deserts, a small chance that the warmest areas could

(07:33):
see the good old fashioned one hundred and ten degree mark.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Oh, I'm sorry. Is it my turn? If you wanted?
Oh I was, I was giving you room to breathe. Oh,
thank you.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
I just thought I didn't want to get yelled at,
so I thought we were ready to break.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
So I just was gonna Did you get yelled at yesterday?

Speaker 4 (07:57):
Oh my god?

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Oh it's hurts yelled at so bad. I'm sorry. I apologize.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
It's okay, Keana In these two reads, guys word's hurt
words hurt Just a quick last note.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Actor Michael Madson, known for Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill
and a bunch of other movies, died at the age
of sixty seven. They said he was found unresponsive at
his home in Malibu this morning. No foul play suspected.
They believe it was natural causes.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
All right massive twelve o'clock, our rolls on. We've got
a classic childhood pastime is fading. If you haven't heard
us mention it, it is very sad. It is a
sad one that this one going by the wayside.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
We'll talk about that.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Also, strange science is coming along. We've got earthquake news,
especially for Deborah Mark. We have a sea turtle that
is swimming out of captivity after forty one years.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
Something for everybody really still ahead.

Speaker 7 (08:52):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
We've got a turtles already of freedom, right in time
for our nation's birthday of freedom tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
I don't know the Turtles independence stretch. Yeah, that was
quite a stretch there.

Speaker 8 (09:11):
Hi, Gary and Shannon. This is Sandy from Long Beach
and Shannon. I love that you're at work today so
we can wish you a happy birthday and thank you
guys for always being my partners in walking dogs. And
I can listen to you and you make me laugh
and just have a great weekend and great day.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
Happy for Thank you, Thank you, Sandy.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Before we get to our childhood pastimes that are going
by the wayside, how.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
About you give everyone named Sandy just sings songs from
Greece like hopelessly devoted to you. Like Sandy wakes up
and looks in the mayor and sings hopelessly devoted to you.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
I don't think so, but she may prove me wrong.
I would do that. We have a chance for you
to win a thousand dollars.

Japan's number one selling beer at your favorite bar or grosser.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Speaking of freedom, I remember my first taste of freedom.
I felt it again when I got my first driver's
license on my sixteenth birthday and I got in my
nineteen eighty five GMC truck and I drove away from
this house that I'm in right now, and I was

(11:08):
alone in the car, and I was driving, and I thought,
oh my god, this is the best feeling ever. The
first time I felt that way was when I got
a bicycle. When I could ride my bike with kids
around the block and we could ride down the thrifties
and get candy or ice cream or whatever. That was

(11:28):
so cool to me, like I was in control of
that bike and I could go wherever I wanted to
go within reason. But that's really your first taste of
freedom is your bicycle, and then it's the car. But
there's a story in the Atlantic about how kids riding
bikes doesn't happen anymore. It's just for the course of

(11:49):
the nineties, an average of twenty point five million kids
age seven to seventeen would hop on a bike six
or more times a year. That's low to me, But
now that has fallen by about half, and the kids
maybe ride their bike like once or twice a year.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
That's an insane number because when I it's same thing.
Bike was the main mode of transportation from the age
of four all the way up until I got my
driver's license, and then when I went to college. That
was the main mode of transportation for basically all four
years of college because we lived in a place where

(12:27):
it wasn't you didn't really need a car to get
around to the places that you wanted to go to. Right,
So even if even if they blame it on smartphones,
right you don't need to physically go to your buddy's house.
You can just FaceTime them or play video games with

(12:47):
them online and be technically in the same place at
the same time. They also talk about how it's more
dangerous for people to be on their bicycles, but I
argue against that any well. In this article they talk
about the Institute Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says over
the last thirty years, the average passenger vehicle in the

(13:09):
United States is four inches wider ten inches longer, eight
inches taller, and one thousand pounds heavier, which obviously is
good news for the driver and the passengers within the car,
but can be more dangerous for anything that it's going
to hit. These types of saying that it's a car
versus a bicycle. The bikes that we would ride were slow, small,

(13:33):
you'd never I never rode them on big streets because
I was terrified to getting hit by a car. So
you would stay in the neighborhoods. Now, that's not to
say that there aren't still cars in the neighborhoods, but
there are ways that you can ride your bike safely
without putting yourself at risk on these higher traffic areas.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Yeah, we would always take like back roads or like
the dirt paths or whatever.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
I mean. It depends on what neighborhood you're in.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
But I'm wondering how much of this is the electric
bike craze. I hear more about people who are getting
their kids electric bikes than bike bikes. And I try
not to be an alarmist or a non freedom loving person,
but these electric bikes to me are terrifying. They go

(14:21):
too fast, and these are kids that have no DMV training,
and these these bikes in some cases are going as
fast as cars and there's no protection, there's no outer protection.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Just yesterday, as a matter of fact, driving down a street.
You know the hill, the long hill that you have
to get up to go to my house?

Speaker 3 (14:42):
Is that the one you run up four times a week?

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Not four times? But I have run up that place before. Yes,
you do do that hill, Yeah I do, I do do.
But kids were on that hill. It's five lanes, right,
there's two lanes each direction and the center turn lane.
Kids in the center turn lane popping wheelies on their
e bikes and still doing twenty miles twenty five miles

(15:06):
an hour, and all you got to do is fall
off the back of that bike at twenty miles an
hour and you're in the hospital for two weeks. That's
the best case scenario at best.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Yeah, and I don't.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
I mean, they're they're awesome. I will tell you that
I've ridden them. They're a lot of fun. They're a
blast to ride. But I would only do it as
a fun thing. I wouldn't do it as an every
day this is what's going to get me to and
from school every day, Like I don't know.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
I'd be the worst parent when it comes to any
sort of freedoms.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
It would be very It would be East.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Germany, it would be China, it would be all the
places where you don't get freedoms in my home.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
And it's you know, I.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Know kids love these, and I know that parents kind
of struggle with, like, you know, saying yes, at least
they're outside. But oh man, there would be there would
be no chance in freaking hell my kid would have
one of these.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
Hate me for the rest of your life. All right, Well,
it's time for strange science.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
We have a couple more birthday wishes we got to
get through before the end of the show. But I
can't wait for you to tell me more about Jorge
and his bid for freedom.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
Oh me too. Gary and Shannon will continue.

Speaker 7 (16:31):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
The One Big Beautiful Bill has now passed the House
will be headed over to the President's desk for a signature.
Assumption is that there will be a significant ceremony. He's
got an event in Des Moines, Iowa today, and you
can imagine that that's going to be touted as one
of his big victories here in the second second round

(17:00):
of his presidency. Hey good news. Several of Malibu's ocean
front restaurants are making a comeback just in time for summer.
Mastros Ocean Club, Gladstones, and Dukes are going to be
open this weekend or will be soon. Mastros has been
opened since May, but they're launching a weekend brunch which
is going to start Saturday. Gladstone's is going to partially

(17:21):
reopen tomorrow. The outdoor deck will be opened to the
public and in fact they're giving away a fifty percent
discount for residents of Palisades in Malibu. And then at Dukes,
they have a sign up that says and an Instagram
post that backs up the fact that the Barefoot bars
expected to open later this month if they try to
get back on their feet.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
I love Dukes. I love their Barefoot Bars.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
One of my girlfriends, Candice, and I went to Hawaii
and when I graduated from college and decided that we'd
go to Dukes one day and try every cocktail on
the menu at Barefoot. At the Barefoot Lounge, it ended
with us jumping over the fence and going into the ocean.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
In our dresses. No, that seems is that seems unlikely.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
I can't wait to tell you the story about or
Hey the loggerhead turtle.

Speaker 5 (18:10):
But first trying this again because I really blew it
last time. Gary and Shannon.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
I love you, guys.

Speaker 5 (18:16):
I've been listening to you since fort ever. Gary, stand
up from your desk, step aside. It's Shannon's day. Happy birthday, girl.
I love you. I love your dirty mouth, I love
your laugh, I love everything about you.

Speaker 10 (18:32):
Guys.

Speaker 5 (18:33):
Have a great day, enjoy your day and drink Happy
twenty first.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
Thank you, Happy twenty first. See she said she loves
my dirty mouth. She says, you got a party mouth. Hey,
this is Dave Mili Isabella Jes calling to his Shannon
the happy birthday.

Speaker 8 (18:52):
Hey. By the way, how many candles are on the
cake this year?

Speaker 3 (18:55):
Shannon, My wife and I were debating anyway, you guys
have a great course. Love you guys. Listen to you
every day and never miss a show. Oh that sounds
so peaceful. Wherever he is? Did he say where he was? Isabelle?
Like Isabella? Where's Lake Isabella? Up north northern part of
the county.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Oh that sounds lovely. You're gonna sit near Lake Hughes. Sure, Okay,
you're going to question. I'm just trying to get you
to answer his question.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
Oh how old am I? Yeah? Very old. It's time.
Like a cheese, it's mold on it. It's time for
straight and science.

Speaker 7 (19:43):
It's like weird science, but strange.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Some some cheese gets better when it's moldy. That's true.
Lake Isabella is near.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Bakersfield, just not even our county. I'm thinking of something else.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
I know your voice when you're making things up, and
that was a voice. I'm like your mother. I know
when you're lying. All right, Orge, I feel like I
should have some music for this, like turtle music. I mean,
this is a turtle that's escaping from forty one years
in captivity. Imagine if you went inside when you were

(20:19):
nineteen and didn't get out till you were sixty. That's
what we're dealing with here. It's a story of survival.
It's not a sex story.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
I don't that boy show me the booty, give me
booty headed. There is a booty there. Girls have sure
they do a little booty area back there.

Speaker 10 (20:41):
For a turdle.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
It only you should sexualize the curdle. However it might
get a little weird. All right, Well, then I've come
up with some other music. I don't know what you
want me to do. Hora sixty years old.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Okay, we're talking about a loggerhead turtle. He weighs about
two hundred and twenty pounds. I don't know why his
weight as relevant National geographic.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
Couch, but he's a big turtle.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Jorge has spent more than half of his life in
a the five three hundred gallon pool, but it's barely
one and a half feet deep. Jorge lives on hard
boiled eggs and beef and water that was salted to
simulate the ocean.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
The ocean he.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
Lost to Gary when he was accidentally captured in nineteen
eighty four.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
How do you get accidentally captured? Well, good question.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
A group of fishermen found him entangled in fishing nets.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
He was injured.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
It was in Bahia Blanca, a port city and the
providence of Buenos Aires, a frequent stopover for his species
along the migratory route. Now at the time, in nineteen
eighty four, sea turtle rehabs they didn't really exist. Reintroducing
a sea turtle to the ocean not common practice. So

(22:02):
Jorge was put in a wooden box and flown to
the Andes. He became a celebrity in Mendoza. Families would
go to see him at the aquarium.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
For decades.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Mayors would hand over the responsibility of caring for Jorge
to their successors as they began their terms in office.
There was a lot of pressure, as you can imagine.
You remember Billy the Elephant.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
Yeah, get him back like that ocean. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Pressure to return Hoorge to the sea grew so intense
that more than sixty thousand people signed a petition for
his release. There was a lawsuit filed in twenty twenty
one over this. So they took up the challenge of
preparing Jorge at sixty to a return, get him swimming
freely again.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
But could he survive? Would he survive?

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Because during the decades in captivity, Jorge's natural survival instincts faded.
They left him unfamili with hunting live prey. They didn't
know how he would react to ocean currents. He didn't
know how he would react to ocean currency. He hasn't
had to for decades. It's a very dangerous handicap for
any sort of wild sea turtle. But anyway, they.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
Continued with their rehab efforts for good old Jorge, didn't
they have to.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
They had to up the salinity, the salt content to
the pool to get him ready to go back into
the ocean.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Right, he had to take x roys to figure out
if his joints were healthy enough for this.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
Been there.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Well, once he passed these tests, he boarded a plane.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
Well, I mean he didn't board the plane.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
You know, they put him in you know, they not ridiculous,
or they didn't walk onto the plane. Anyway, So he
went to and more comfortable pool. It was filled with
sea water and the temperature range was chosen to match
the condition that he would encounter in the Atlantic Ocean.
During his first few months of sea. His diet changed

(24:06):
by the way, the hard boiled eggs and the beef
were replaced with live food crabs, snails. He had to
hunt these little by little. They taught him to chase
after prey. He became a skilled hunter. Jorgey did because
he too could taste not just the shellfish, but the freedom.

(24:28):
He has been released. Gary Porgey has been swimming in
open water now for about seventy days, traveled over seventeen
hundred miles and he has less than seven hundred and
sixty miles left to reach his destination, proving himself a
true master of resilience. And dare I say freedom?

Speaker 3 (24:53):
That's pretty crazy? Do you see how I endited it
on the note of the song?

Speaker 2 (24:56):
I didn't know how you did that, because I'm the
one in control of the music. How did you know
when that song was going to end?

Speaker 3 (25:01):
I just felt it in my heart?

Speaker 2 (25:04):
Wow, you've grown something special this today, on the day
of your birth.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
All right, we'll talk about earthquakes for Deborah. Yeah, here we.

Speaker 10 (25:16):
Go, Garyky Shannon. It's Mike Shannon. I just wanted to
wish you a very happy birthday. I hope today is
joyful and you have a very blessed day. And if
I remember correctly, last year was your big six tozer,
so I guess happy sixty first, yep, sixty first. Whatever.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
That's very nice.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Let's run with that because huh yeah.

Speaker 8 (25:44):
You.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
Look amazing for sixty one.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
I thank you Straight Science.

Speaker 7 (25:53):
When we come back, you're listening to Gary and Shannon
on demand from KF I am six.

Speaker 11 (26:02):
You're the only female I swear I can relate with.
You're like what I call a guy's girl, like a
girl that a guy would like to hang out with.
I bet you never take your husband shopping and you
can party by yourself.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
I get you, girl.

Speaker 11 (26:15):
Happy birthday, Chica.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
Do you ever get me? I hate shopping? Do you
ever take him shopping?

Speaker 8 (26:23):
God? No?

Speaker 3 (26:25):
Why because he would be annoying?

Speaker 10 (26:26):
Or what?

Speaker 3 (26:30):
Why would he want to shop with me? I have
no idea? Trust me? Do you want to shop? I
mean you are? You're of a shopper. No.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
I literally said to my wife last week when we
were asking, I told I asked her if she wanted
to go to Malibu with me. She thought I was
not feeling well and I said, well I certainly don't
want to go shopping.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
And that didn't go well.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
But I love that you made a date that you said,
let's go to Malibu.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
That's wonderful. Well, thank you. I also took her to
a bookstore last night, a nerd. Yeah, that's really cool too. Okay, See,
I am cool, I am a good person. I am
okay too, guys.

Speaker 6 (27:08):
I just wanted to let Shannon know that Sebastian Manusklco
is way funnier than Gary.

Speaker 3 (27:14):
By What I don't think is that why Sebastian measuring.
Is that why he.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
Has a stand up comedy career? Is that why he's
got specials on Netflix? Is because he happens to be
funnier than me. That's a stress.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
Let me argue on your behalf that you did stand
up comedy but abandon it and had you not abandoned it,
that's a.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
Hard word to say, abandoned it.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Had you not left your career and stand up, maybe
you would have a special on Netflix.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
But maybe you did that twenty years ago. Ten Oh
my gosh, that was sixteen years ago. Yeah, wow, uh okay, think.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
About what could have been? It still could You're still young.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Ill could Where the Philippine Sea Plate tectonic plate dives
under the country of Japan, researchers say they have finally
caught a peculiar kind of earthquake. They said the shallow
end of the Nankai Trough was creeping for weeks millimeters
at a time, while instruments that were buried in the

(28:23):
seabed were able to record every single move, a very
slow motion earthquake. They said it's technically a slow slip quake.
They don't call it slow motion. First spotted in autumn
of twenty fifteen, repeated about five years later. Each of

(28:43):
those episodes, those slow slip earthquakes unzipped about twenty miles
of the fault in slow motion, starting about thirty miles
off of the Keye Peninsula in Japan.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Are you listening to these earthquakes? I can unzip you?

Speaker 12 (28:58):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
Oh I can't.

Speaker 11 (29:02):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (29:04):
It doesn't unzip her, it unzips them.

Speaker 12 (29:07):
Can I just tell you, seriously, I would be so happy.
I'd be the happiest person in the world if we
can find a cure for earthquakes.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
Yes, for earthquakes, yes, yeah, I'm not.

Speaker 12 (29:19):
Sure that I could go through life never having to
worry about the big one. I'm telling you, I would
be so chill. Seriously, I'd be a different person.

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Well, would it be easier to find a cure your
word for earthquakes or a cure for your fear of earthquakes?

Speaker 3 (29:38):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (29:38):
No, that'll never You could heavily medicate, and I'm sure
that the idea of earthquakes will.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
Well before we put her on Laraisampa, go on, go on.
I think maybe we could bring in somebody who could
hypnotize her out of this fear.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
Oh, I would listen to that show. Wait, Deborah, would
you do that? I would, Oh, although I don't believe.
In hell, I don't think it would happen. A hypnotherapy
is a real thing. Yeah. I was one of those
of you guys.

Speaker 12 (30:08):
Wait, do you remember when you guys were kids and
you'd have those assemblies where they would they'd bring those
guys and they would hypnotize and all these students on stage.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
Kid, they pretend they were well maybe you were an adul.

Speaker 12 (30:19):
I was the only one who never worked on Oh
they were well good, I'm glad you didn't get molested.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
Jesus. They're bringing in hypnotists to kids now, yeah, lord crazy.
But anyway, Oh, this a mc martin school.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
We did that in college and my roommate got hypnotized
and didn't realize it.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
Yeah. Oh really what happened? Oh yeah, nothing, it was
we were on top.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
We were on uh the activity planning board, whatever you
call it, and so we were not backstage. We're side
staged the whole performance that this guy was doing, and
he's calling people up on stage and blah blah blah
blah blah.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
We finally go to dinner.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Afterwards, we want to cross the streets to Woodstock's Pizza and
grab pizza. And I realized that my roommate Ben had
not been saying much all night. And then as we
sit down, the hypnotist, who is this really loud, gregarious guy,
draws a lot of attention. Ben's just sitting there like
he stoned out of his mind. And the guy turns
to him and he goes, hey, and he goes, was

(31:20):
he sitting next to the stage?

Speaker 3 (31:22):
And I said, yeah, he was sitting right next to me,
and he goes, I got him.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
And he turns and he looks at him and he says,
when I snapped my fingers, you'll come out of it.
And he snaps his fingers right in front of his
face and he boomed. He came out of it.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
He's like, where, whoa wait? What?

Speaker 2 (31:38):
He had totally fallen? I mean hook line and sinker
for that whole thing never works. Wowah, We've got to
do this. We'll do it on the air.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
That would be funny.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
There was a hypnotist at our safe grad night and
I did not volunteer, but about eight people were on
stage and they volunteered to get hypnotized, and at one
point they said, now look out into the audience and
you see a famous person, go get that person and
tell us who it is. And one of the girls
that was hypnotized came and got me and she said
that I was Cindy Lauper.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
Oh, it's great, timely. I'm like, what was my hair
doing that night? I don't know. Well, it is your birthday.
