I was picking up on that. That sounded like the
recorded Kayla show business. She's outscrewing around with Andrew Caravella.
Isn't she the gum it? What is even the point?

Speaker 2 (01:09):
All right, we'll start with show business.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Let's start in Brasila, where Lady Gaga had a Big Bash.
Lady Gaga performing tonight in Brazil, two weeks after headlining Coachella,
and check out the size of the crowd for this
free concert on the beach.

and had a number of outfits, including address with the

the Justice Ministry to disrupt an attack allegedly planned by
a group that was spreading hate speech against the LGBTQ community.

Police said that the group sought to radicalize and recruit
teenagers to carry out attacks using molotov cocktails and improvised explosives.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
They said the plan was to was treated as.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
A collective challenge with the aim of gaining notoriety and
social media. They arrested two people in connection with the
planned attack, got one person on illegal weapons possession charges.
The police rated locations of fifteen suspects across several states
and compiscated phones and other electronic devices. So anyway, they
(03:43):
stopped that. Thank god. Can you imagine two million people

and perhaps introduce them to another generation of people who
otherwise might not have known, like Kayla who anything.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Over forty is soon shouldn't pay any atention to it
at all.

Oh meanwhile, Kayla, another legend is fighting for his life.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Michael Bolton has brain cancer.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
I got a title for a song.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Hang on, let me go back to the beginning of
the clip from MAYBC seven.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Bolton diagnosed with glioblastoma in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
That's a bad one. That's that's one that killed the
John McCain.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
After months of behavior and take Kennedy.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I think did he have the same thing. I think
they died the same thing.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
After months of behaviors that in hindsight signaled to his
family there was something wrong.
Speaker 10 (09:18):
When this first came about, he just was not feeling well.
He kind of fell ill during performance. They didn't really
know what was going on with him, and then he
was just acting kind of forgetful. They had a family
bowling tournament and he was, you know, bowling out of turn,
which was just a little bit of.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
A peculiar Okay, how peculiar is bowling out of turn?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Because I gotta tell you, I bowled a lot, and
I oftentimes jump ahead. I just get so excited about
my turn to go. Yeah, so I don't know, maybe
that jumps out thing to do.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
His tumor was removed. He completed radiation and chemo last fall. However,
he's still struggling with his short term memory, speech, and mobility.
About twelve thousand cases of glioblastom are diagnosed every year.
The recurrence rate is about ninety percent. Bolton knows the odds.
For now, he's focused on living, still, taking voice lessons
(10:12):
and spending time with his family.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Michael Bolton takes voice lessons. That's crazy. I love that.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I love it when you hear people that are the
most accomplished of the pinnacle of their field and then
they still get coaching.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Really, that's inspirational.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
He sounds amazing when he was in Hercules singing go
the distance.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Okay, all right, well, at least you know who the
guy is. Yeah, that's great, that's good. But that's like
when you know Tiger Woods has a swing coach. You know,
you think you think of the greats in different fields,
and they all, you know, the really good ones keep
working to stay on top and to get even better.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I'm amazed by that. It's it's awesome. All right.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
One of the people you just mentioned as being a
major influencer is also a major boom to a southern
California city.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
We'll tell you who that is next.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Chris merrilf I AM six forty were live everywhere and
your iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
KFI AM six forty more stimulating talk. I'm Chris Merrill.
And there's no business like shell business. See I know
when it's recording when it's not, because that just had
so much more life to it.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
It sounded so much better, all right.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
I thought I thought we could pull wool over your
eyes me and roul shell business.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Now that one just sounds see what I mean?
Speaker 7 (11:29):
It lacks bizazz, It does lack passage, are right?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (11:31):
I got to look a new one.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Uh so before we get into beiance because she was
in she was it's so fine, you know, Uh, can
I tell you I had a really weird experience, just
to I think it was last night. I grew up
in a really small town in northern Michigan, really small,
twelve hundred people, and my high school had four hundred
(11:55):
people in it total, and we gathered from almost the
whole county. There was one other there was one town
in the county that was bigger. And then we were
in the rural area of a county that only had
twenty seven thousand people in it. So there are more
people on the block around the radio station here than
there weren't my entire county growing up.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Okay, So I'm flipping through.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
You know, I love to watch bad horror comedies, low
budget horrors, things that I can laugh at. I love those.
Those are my favorites. The camp here, the better. So
the algorithms have me figured out, and I'm scrolling through.
I'm scrolling through Amazon Prime and it recommends this show
for me. It's called Camp eighty six. And I read
(12:38):
the description and it says four friends or whatever, five friends,
whatever it is, but four friends from Detroit go to
northern Michigan for their hunting camp and things turn take
a turn for the worse or whatever it is, right,
and I go oh, okay, well that's me. I wonder
where they filmed. I wonder where they did it. If
it's northern Michigan. I've seen things like this in the past,
(13:00):
and like Evil Dead, I think was filled northern Michigan.
Not near where I grew up, but whatever. So I say, oh,
you know what, I'm gonna watch this movie. It's low budget,
it's it's from near my hometown. This is gonna be fun.
So I start watching it and it opens up with
a bunch of newspaper clippings, and the newspaper clipping start
popping up, and it's from my hometown, and it was
(13:21):
talking about these murders in the nineteen eighties. Now, mind you,
I didn't remember any of these things, and I don't
even know if the newspaper clippings were real. They may
have just been fabricated for the movie. But I start
watching it and they all of a sudden, they pull
into this this bar, right, these guys are on this camp.
This a deer hunting trip. They pull into this bar
and I go, I know that bar, and sure enough
(13:42):
I look it up. It was this bar that was
twenty miles from my tiny little hometown.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I went that's so cool. They filmed some of this
near me.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
And then I'm watching more of it and the sheriff
they go through and it's the Sheriff's department is a
shot of the Sheriff's department that I spent way too
much time in as the youth, and I, oh my god,
this was filmed, you know, right where I grew up. Now,
for many of you, that's not a big deal. In fact,
you're probably irritated when you see film crews have shut
down certain areas of your neighborhood or near where you work,
(14:11):
or whatever it is. But for a guy that grew
up two thousand miles from Los Angeles, to see this
budget film show up on my algorithm from Amazon Prime,
I got super excited about it, and I pulled up
I pulled up IMDb, and sure enough they did. They
filmed it my tiny little town, and it was beautiful
in the film. For the budget they had, I thought
(14:32):
it was It was a lot of fun. It was
a camp be, low budget horror fic flick. It's exactly
what I love. So I had a blast watching that.
As the credits start rolling, I see the producers and
the co producers and I recognize one of the names
of the co producers.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
It's a guy by the name of Rob Alway. Now.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Rob Alway runs a local online only newspaper in my hometown.
He was five years older than me, went to the
same tiny little high school I did.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
And here he is.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
He's showing up in this in this production thing, which, again,
for many of you, no big deal. For me, it's
a huge deal because people in my little hometown, they
end up staying in my little hometown. They never really
do anything. Rob is actually still in my own, my
little hometown. So I see this and.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I went, wow, that's so cool. Rob produced this. I
know Rob. I had coffee with him just last last fall. Uh.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
And so then, coincidence of all coincidences, I start surfing
Instagram and I get a friend request from Rob Alway
and I said, you're not gonna believe this.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I just saw your movie pop up. I just washed it. It
was a blast. And then he did the thing I hate.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
You know what that is. You guys know what it is.
But here I'll read this to you. He just got
back to me. I'm going to read you exactly what
I just got from the producer of this film. You
did the worst thing, uh, I said, so crazy. Just
watched Camp eighty six tonight and I saw your name
as producer. I mean, I just finished it, like twenty
minutes ago. I sent this Friday. I guess it's Friday.
(16:06):
Ended this His response, What did you think of it?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Oh, come on, I'm not giving you notes. I'm not
doing notes. It's already I'm not doing notes.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Well, you know, I thought that the I thought that
the shot selection on the car explosion was a bit laborers.
I thought that was a little bit difficult. The special effects.
Based on the budget, I thought we're adequate. However, now
we're not doing notes. I'm supporting you. No notes, you
get no notes. I loved it. No notes anyway, I
(16:40):
loved it anyway. That's my recommendation. We want to see
my little town where I grew up. You watched that
camp be horror movie called Camp eighty six, and if
you don't like horror movies, then don't watch it.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
But I had a blast. I had a blast.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
So thank you for allowing me to share that in
my in our show business segment, Taylor, are you gonna
watch it now?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Oh? Good?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
It's about a bunch of rednecks that get slaughtered by
a ghost.
Speaker 7 (17:04):
Oh, that's that's fun.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
It's amazing like that. It is incredible. I love it.
It's so good.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
All right, we'll talk about your girl Beyonce here in
just a few moments, and then one hundred men versus
one gorilla. What everyone else is getting wrong? Next, Chris
Merril KFI AM six forty. We live everywhere in your
Rightheart radio app, you're listening to KFI AM six forty
on demand. Take it in to Chris Merril CAFI AM
six forty more stimulating talk and on demand anytime. In
the iHeart radio app, you'll find the podcast for the
(17:32):
show and the featured segment, said KFI AM six forty
dot com. All right, uh, call I told you we
talked about your girl. Beyonce was part of the Inglewood boom.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
And well this may be a bit of a headache
for fans and local businesses, but actually that's not a
headache for local businesses.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Nice going well so far. So the Clippers were going
out at the same time with the Beyonce concert.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
They're telling me that they are very happy that these
crowds are coming to Inglewood and certainly not complaining we.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Already get a lot of business already.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
But when you get people from out of town and
they just come in and when and just know what's
going on, I'm always the.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
First person they see, so I let them know what
it is.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
We almost have all the inside reserve because they called
ahead of time that they were coming after the concerts
and stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
So we're happy about that.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Yeah, you should be happy about that. Got a big
boom for for everybody there at the statement. It's going
on tonight too, right, Yeah, in fact, the tonight's concert
kicks off here in twenty minutes. Kayla, are you going No?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Did you get tickets? Are you going on on the seventh?
Speaker 7 (18:36):
I was going to go these tickets prices are super
affordable right now, but then I realize I got to
get the whole cow girl gear and just really make
a whole art of it. I just don't have the.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for your loss.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Yeah, who concerts on social media anyway?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
So I just love that this is exploding and you
have you have Let's let's face it, you've got a
bunch of country music fans who are showing their true colors.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
You're like that ain't country, and you're like, m is
the problem that the music is in country? Is that
what your problem is?
Speaker 7 (19:12):
We all know what the problem is.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
We know what the problem, we know what the issue is. Yeah,
so all right.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
We were asking people earlier about the debate man versus gorilla,
and we said, what is one hundred thing? Excuse me,
what is something that one hundred men could not defeat?
And of course the argument is over whether or not
one hundred men could defeat one. We're assuming silver back goerrilla,
and the argument rages on. In fact, we've got some people,
(19:41):
some experts, that say yes, one hundred people could do it.
Of course, coordinated strategic waves would wear the ape out.
The gorilla would certainly get tired, and probably fairly quickly,
because gorillas are not endurance athletes and the way humans
are that according to Stacy Rosenbaum, who's an anthropologist at
the University of Michigan, telling Forbes in talking with Rolling Stone,
(20:03):
cat O Batter, who's a primatologist the University of St.
Andrews in Scotland, said the gorilla would win a mountain.
Gorilla's muscle mass and its adaptations to live in high
altitudes would give the ape a clear advantage. The men
would be swatting at him like out of breath children,
and a single one of his punches would floor them.
(20:24):
So I guess, is it home Field? Who are these men?
What kind of gorilla?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Silver back? Is it a mountain gorilla? What's the kind
of gorilla? There's a lot of questions to go into this.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
NBC News of course tackled the issue because this is
what we worry about today.
Speaker 12 (20:38):
Well, it's a very interesting question, and it's been super
fun to see how much it has engaged people on
the internet.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
I talk about.
Speaker 12 (20:45):
Gorillas all day long, so I love that other people
are talking about them as well. I don't think there's
a definitive answer, but I have to say that I
would be on the side of the humans in this case.
Gorilla's come to this with a ton of power, all
that upper body strength. You can see them here kind
of just smashing people right and left.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
They've got incredible draw strength.
Speaker 12 (21:04):
But I think the sheer number of humans that they
would be up against, and the fact that humans could
hopefully coordinate their behavior tag team take a little bit
of a rest while the gorilla would just be going
full steam. The whole time, would really put the advantage
in for the humans.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Okay, let me give you the answer that nobody else
has mentioned here. Why are we fighting a gorilla? What
did the gorilla do to you? I bet that if
you just sat down and talked to the gorilla, maybe
off of the gorilla and it's banana, then nobody has
to fight the gorilla.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
Sounds like just some machiese mo, you know, like super tough.
Let me just prove how bad I am, because that'd
beat an innocent gorilla up.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I mean it is.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
It's a fun mental exercise, but this isn't But the
mental exercise plays into machismo, as you point it out right,
it's just basically it.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Says who's tougher? Like is the question who's tougher? Or
should the.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Question be how could one hundred, one hundred men and
one gorilla get along?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Right?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
There's never that question. The question is always about might bigger, better, faster, stronger?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Right? Then the question is never who's smarter. We don't say.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
If you and one hundred men and encountered a gorilla,
what would you do? We say, could one hundred men
beat one gorilla? As though there's no other option. If
you are with one hundred other people and you're meandering
around the mountains of Scotland or wherever you are. If
you're with Jane Goodall and you're in the midst and
you encounter a gorilla, do you necessarily have to go
(22:45):
to battle?
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Maybe?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
And I learned this from watching King Kong. I watched
a lot of movies. Maybe we just leave the gorilla alone.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Anybody think of that.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Maybe we say nice things to the gorilla, Maybe we
compliment the gorilla.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Maybe maybe we.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Offer the gorilla some sort of peace offering. Nobody ever
thinks this way.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
We always think who can beat who up? By the way,
this is why we not survive in prison.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Yeah, the minute I get to prison and they're like,
which game are you joining?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
You better pick a side and go why do we
have to have sides?
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Don't you think that we could all as a society
function better and focus on our common enemy, the man?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
And they go what? And then they beat me up
and I would lose quickly.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
But since we're only doing an intellectual exercise and I'm
hiding behind a microphone in a padded.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Room, I get to just say, why are there got
to be a fight.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Can't we all just get along? I, for one, am
not interested in trying to beat up a gorilla, But
if I were, obviously the men would win because we
would distract the gorilla. Then we jump on him from
behind and try to choke him out. That's that's how
we would handle it. Yeah, I know he could. He
could crush us all or bite us in two or whatever.
But nobody wants to be the first guy in. But
(24:12):
the fact is you just have to distract him for
a little while. Take out his knee cap. I haven't
thought about it.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I haven't.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I haven't thought about.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Jumping on the back and then on the legs, and
a couple of people on the arm so he can't
fling him around. I haven't thought this through at all.
Break his fingers, no, gallug him in the eyes, find
the soft tissue. I haven't thought about it because I've
only been thinking about how do we get along with
the gorilla.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Throat punch.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
We're gonna talk with the great Doctor Wendy Walls. She
previews Doctor Wendy after dark.
Speaker 2 (24:46):

Speaker 3 (24:50):
I just wanted to make sure before I went to
break and then we had the dead air. We're gonna
talk with doctor Wendy Walls. Doctor Wendy after Dark starts
at seven o'clock. That is when Caleb wanted to be
at the Beyonce concert, but did not have a cowboy hat,

Speaker 3 (25:28):

Speaker 6 (25:35):
Oh that's right, Yeah, yeah, I'll get all the non
Beyonce fans tonight.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
I'm curious about I have a couple of things. First
of all, I wanted to get your take on the
gorilla story. I don't know if you've been following.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
No, I haven't followed the gorilla story.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Well, a gorilla story is that the internet was a
buzz this week over who would win one hundred men
or one gorilla in what?
Speaker 6 (25:56):
When?
Speaker 4 (25:56):
What?
Speaker 6 (25:56):
And how?
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Like a boxing match and a ring. Just if one hundred,
one hundred unarmed men versus one gorilla, that's it.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
There's no other context.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
And my thing is why at the same time or
one at a time.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
It's you can you can use your brain power and
coordinate however you like.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
Okay, the man the man. If there's one hundred of them,
because they right.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
You just distract them and go for the soft tissue, right.
But my thing was why what?
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Why are we? Why are we fighting the gorilla? Why?
Speaker 3 (26:24):
I mean, isn't this sort of the foundation of like
a male dominated society that when we see something that
is that is strong, we try to figure out how
could we best it?
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Yeah? Uh? What what is wrong with us? Is that about?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Is that a survival technique from from tribalism of primitive times?
Speaker 6 (26:43):
It's a mating strategy, oh interests back to our anthropological times.
Men love to showcase braun and bravery and muscles because
chicks dig it, not unlike the poor peacock and his
big burdensome tail. There's only one reason that it evolved
(27:03):
to be there, because chicks dig it, and so yeah,
the same thing. It actually did one study where they
had made a bunch of fake dating profiles that with
the same guy's picture but different descriptions, and if he
mentioned he had military service, he got more swipe rights.
Now then they thought, well, instead of saying, you know,
(27:25):
I was at war or whatever, they said, he works
as an accountant for the military in a desk job,
he's still got more.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Ok, just the fatigues themselves did the trick.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
That was it? Huh, Because it's also deep down a
million years ago women needed men for protection.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
We still do.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
The sad thing is that the you know, the most
dangerous place for a woman to live is in a
man in a house with a man, because.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yeah, that's true domestic violence one exactly.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
So is it fair to say then that the patriarchal
society that that somebody complained about is because chicks keep
liking Oh yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
Women created this. Now, not the women in this generation,
but it takes many, many, many generations for us to change.
But female choice is what drives the species forward into evolution,
and as a result, anything you see on a man
that you find attractive, whether it's a deep voice or muscles, whatever,
it exists because women picked it. Facial hair, right beards, Yeah,
(28:29):
women liked it.
Speaker 7 (28:30):
Daddy like, oh, excuse me, sir, excuse me, stop immediately.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
So okay.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Then, speaking of human survival and evolution, I was reading
a study this week. They said we are facing a
birth rate crisis and that we have been doing our
math wrong all along. Families need at least two point
seven children to avoid extinction. Previously, we thought two point
one percent or two point one children per family in
(28:58):
order to to avoid extension. Now they're saying, yeah, well
it doesn't take into effects variations. You know, you've got
one child who's not going to reproduce, you've got another
one who's steraile, you've got another one who doesn't survive,
whatever it might be. They're saying, no, we've been doing
this wrong all along, and developed countries especially, we are
falling well short of that threshold.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
Well, the whole planet is not falling south of that threshold.
So as a result, migration, that's why we're seeing so
much migration, Oh amazing around the planet for resources.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Yeah, and then the countries that have the lower birth
rate have all the resources.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
How is that possible?
Speaker 6 (29:42):
Why do they need to reap? They're fat and happy. Yeah,
we need to strive for it. Did you know there's
something called the immigrant health paradox, which is, you know,
I teach health psychology, right that people who immigrate their
first generation babies tend to be higher birth weight and healthier,
even though, oh they may have come from countries with
(30:03):
malnutrition and all kinds of problems. Right, They're actually healthier
than babies born here.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Do you know why? That is got to be survival
of some sort, right.
Speaker 6 (30:12):
Yeah, but it's self selected by the people who are
able to immigrate tend to be the strongest.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Oh I see, yeah, okay, so the weak are left
behind to make weak babies.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Oh well that's the truth of it, right.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
We're left behind in America here making our own weak babies.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
It's me.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
I'm a weak baby, weak baby, Doctor Wenby after Dark.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I love talking with you. I love it.
Speaker 3 (30:37):

so it's you, Brigita. It's all on you, so don't
screw it up from here on ou where we'relying on

Speaker 3 (31:04):
Uh and again, I encourage everybody to check out her
Brigida's Instagram.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
It keeps getting better every time I see it.

Speaker 2 (31:14):

Speaker 2 (01:09):
All right, we'll start with show business.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Let's start in Brasila, where Lady Gaga had a Big Bash.
Lady Gaga performing tonight in Brazil, two weeks after headlining Coachella,
and check out the size of the crowd for this
free concert on the beach.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Well, that looks fun. About one million people were estimated
to have been in attendance. She performed her classic hits
and had a number of outfits, including address with the
Brazilian flag colors. The concert is part of Rio de
Janio's effort to boost the local economy. Similar concerts are
scheduled to happen every year in May through twenty twenty eight.

(02:51):
But it could have been a massive tragedy. Police in
Brazil saying that two people are arrested in connection with
an alleged plot to debt need a bomb at the
Lady Gaga concert. The police said they had worked with
the Justice Ministry to disrupt an attack allegedly planned by
a group that was spreading hate speech against the LGBTQ community.
(03:13):
Police said that the group sought to radicalize and recruit
teenagers to carry out attacks using molotov cocktails and improvised explosives.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
They said the plan was to was treated as.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
A collective challenge with the aim of gaining notoriety and
social media. They arrested two people in connection with the
planned attack, got one person on illegal weapons possession charges.
The police rated locations of fifteen suspects across several states
and compiscated phones and other electronic devices. So anyway, they
(03:43):
stopped that. Thank god. Can you imagine two million people
in one location. Then you have some na'er do well
with some.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
They don't. They don't like, they don't like members of
the LGBTQ community.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
So they're going to target This makes me sick. This
makes me sick. Ugh, stop the crap. Glad the police
got involved. That's great.

out to be her big TV break on Ronan Martin's Laughing.

ran from nineteen sixty seven to nineteen seventy three, and
she turned a grumpy spinster named Gladys into her signature role.
Speaker 9 (04:49):
I had a complete physical examination today. Oh I didn't
need it, but it was just so good to have
a man say, first, take your clothes off.

the popular Dean Martin celebrity roast love It.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
I hate to hate when we lose the legends, but
I'm glad we have a chance to talk about them
and perhaps introduce them to another generation of people who
otherwise might not have known, like Kayla who anything.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Over forty is soon shouldn't pay any atention to it
at all.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
I learned a lot in that segment. Thank you for
teaching about Ruth Bisby.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
No, yeah, Buzzy.
Speaker 7 (06:57):
Oh yeah, that's the one, Ruth Buzzy yea. I'm a
bad side.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah I know. And then you're left with these with
icons that are just garbage.
Speaker 7 (07:04):
Excuse me. Beyonce is still around, thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Beyonce is still around. But your boy. Did he is
in some trouble.
Speaker 11 (07:09):
He comes once one of the most powerful figures in
hip hop music, will stand trial in federal courts starting tomorrow.
Jerry's selection begins on Monday. The fallen music mogul faces
shocking charges sex trafficking, racketeering.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Are you counting all these up here? Kayla? Sex trafficking, racketeering.
Speaker 11 (07:27):
And transporting women for prostitution. If convicted on all counts.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I mean he's getting the full Epstein here, right.
Speaker 11 (07:35):
He could spend the rest of his life in prison.
Did He has pleaded not guilty to all five federal counts.
He's been behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in
Brooklyn since his arrest in September twenty twenty four. Prosecutors
say Combs coerce at least three women into sexual acts,
some with other men, during events called freak offs.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
As you mentioned.
Speaker 11 (07:57):
They claim the women were drugged, filed without consent, and
manipulated with promises of money, fame, and careers backed by
threats and violence.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Wow, so he ends up in the do we put
him in the Uh? The Jared from Subway Wing? Uh,
He's he's got kind of the if we were to
create the tier We got to Bill Cosby, He's got
to be Tier one. Jared from Subway Tier one, Epstein
tier one. Did he's got to be Tier one too, right.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
Yeah, Weinstein too?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah. Put them all in tier one, Tier one. Yep.
Those are all Tier one super creeps.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Super creeps. Although Cosby is still out, isn't he? Yeah?
Oh meanwhile, Kayla, another legend is fighting for his life.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Michael Bolton has brain cancer.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
I got a title for a song.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Hang on, let me go back to the beginning of
the clip from MAYBC seven.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
Bolton diagnosed with glioblastoma in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
That's a bad one. That's that's one that killed the
John McCain.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
After months of behavior and take Kennedy.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I think did he have the same thing. I think
they died the same thing.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
After months of behaviors that in hindsight signaled to his
family there was something wrong.
Speaker 10 (09:18):
When this first came about, he just was not feeling well.
He kind of fell ill during performance. They didn't really
know what was going on with him, and then he
was just acting kind of forgetful. They had a family
bowling tournament and he was, you know, bowling out of turn,
which was just a little bit of.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
A peculiar Okay, how peculiar is bowling out of turn?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Because I gotta tell you, I bowled a lot, and
I oftentimes jump ahead. I just get so excited about
my turn to go. Yeah, so I don't know, maybe
that jumps out thing to do.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
His tumor was removed. He completed radiation and chemo last fall. However,
he's still struggling with his short term memory, speech, and mobility.
About twelve thousand cases of glioblastom are diagnosed every year.
The recurrence rate is about ninety percent. Bolton knows the odds.
For now, he's focused on living, still, taking voice lessons
(10:12):
and spending time with his family.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Michael Bolton takes voice lessons. That's crazy. I love that.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I love it when you hear people that are the
most accomplished of the pinnacle of their field and then
they still get coaching.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Really, that's inspirational.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
He sounds amazing when he was in Hercules singing go
the distance.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Okay, all right, well, at least you know who the
guy is. Yeah, that's great, that's good. But that's like
when you know Tiger Woods has a swing coach. You know,
you think you think of the greats in different fields,
and they all, you know, the really good ones keep
working to stay on top and to get even better.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I'm amazed by that. It's it's awesome. All right.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
One of the people you just mentioned as being a
major influencer is also a major boom to a southern
California city.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
We'll tell you who that is next.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Chris merrilf I AM six forty were live everywhere and
your iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
KFI AM six forty more stimulating talk. I'm Chris Merrill.
And there's no business like shell business. See I know
when it's recording when it's not, because that just had
so much more life to it.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
It sounded so much better, all right.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
I thought I thought we could pull wool over your
eyes me and roul shell business.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Now that one just sounds see what I mean?
Speaker 7 (11:29):
It lacks bizazz, It does lack passage, are right?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (11:31):
I got to look a new one.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Uh so before we get into beiance because she was
in she was it's so fine, you know, Uh, can
I tell you I had a really weird experience, just
to I think it was last night. I grew up
in a really small town in northern Michigan, really small,
twelve hundred people, and my high school had four hundred
(11:55):
people in it total, and we gathered from almost the
whole county. There was one other there was one town
in the county that was bigger. And then we were
in the rural area of a county that only had
twenty seven thousand people in it. So there are more
people on the block around the radio station here than
there weren't my entire county growing up.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Okay, So I'm flipping through.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
You know, I love to watch bad horror comedies, low
budget horrors, things that I can laugh at. I love those.
Those are my favorites. The camp here, the better. So
the algorithms have me figured out, and I'm scrolling through.
I'm scrolling through Amazon Prime and it recommends this show
for me. It's called Camp eighty six. And I read
(12:38):
the description and it says four friends or whatever, five friends,
whatever it is, but four friends from Detroit go to
northern Michigan for their hunting camp and things turn take
a turn for the worse or whatever it is, right,
and I go oh, okay, well that's me. I wonder
where they filmed. I wonder where they did it. If
it's northern Michigan. I've seen things like this in the past,
(13:00):
and like Evil Dead, I think was filled northern Michigan.
Not near where I grew up, but whatever. So I say, oh,
you know what, I'm gonna watch this movie. It's low budget,
it's it's from near my hometown. This is gonna be fun.
So I start watching it and it opens up with
a bunch of newspaper clippings, and the newspaper clipping start
popping up, and it's from my hometown, and it was
(13:21):
talking about these murders in the nineteen eighties. Now, mind you,
I didn't remember any of these things, and I don't
even know if the newspaper clippings were real. They may
have just been fabricated for the movie. But I start
watching it and they all of a sudden, they pull
into this this bar, right, these guys are on this camp.
This a deer hunting trip. They pull into this bar
and I go, I know that bar, and sure enough
(13:42):
I look it up. It was this bar that was
twenty miles from my tiny little hometown.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
I went that's so cool. They filmed some of this
near me.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
And then I'm watching more of it and the sheriff
they go through and it's the Sheriff's department is a
shot of the Sheriff's department that I spent way too
much time in as the youth, and I, oh my god,
this was filmed, you know, right where I grew up. Now,
for many of you, that's not a big deal. In fact,
you're probably irritated when you see film crews have shut
down certain areas of your neighborhood or near where you work,
(14:11):
or whatever it is. But for a guy that grew
up two thousand miles from Los Angeles, to see this
budget film show up on my algorithm from Amazon Prime,
I got super excited about it, and I pulled up
I pulled up IMDb, and sure enough they did. They
filmed it my tiny little town, and it was beautiful
in the film. For the budget they had, I thought
(14:32):
it was It was a lot of fun. It was
a camp be, low budget horror fic flick. It's exactly
what I love. So I had a blast watching that.
As the credits start rolling, I see the producers and
the co producers and I recognize one of the names
of the co producers.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
It's a guy by the name of Rob Alway. Now.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Rob Alway runs a local online only newspaper in my hometown.
He was five years older than me, went to the
same tiny little high school I did.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
And here he is.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
He's showing up in this in this production thing, which, again,
for many of you, no big deal. For me, it's
a huge deal because people in my little hometown, they
end up staying in my little hometown. They never really
do anything. Rob is actually still in my own, my
little hometown. So I see this and.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I went, wow, that's so cool. Rob produced this. I
know Rob. I had coffee with him just last last fall. Uh.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
And so then, coincidence of all coincidences, I start surfing
Instagram and I get a friend request from Rob Alway
and I said, you're not gonna believe this.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
I just saw your movie pop up. I just washed it. It
was a blast. And then he did the thing I hate.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
You know what that is. You guys know what it is.
But here I'll read this to you. He just got
back to me. I'm going to read you exactly what
I just got from the producer of this film. You
did the worst thing, uh, I said, so crazy. Just
watched Camp eighty six tonight and I saw your name
as producer. I mean, I just finished it, like twenty
minutes ago. I sent this Friday. I guess it's Friday.
(16:06):
Ended this His response, What did you think of it?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Oh, come on, I'm not giving you notes. I'm not
doing notes. It's already I'm not doing notes.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Well, you know, I thought that the I thought that
the shot selection on the car explosion was a bit laborers.
I thought that was a little bit difficult. The special effects.
Based on the budget, I thought we're adequate. However, now
we're not doing notes. I'm supporting you. No notes, you
get no notes. I loved it. No notes anyway, I
(16:40):
loved it anyway. That's my recommendation. We want to see
my little town where I grew up. You watched that
camp be horror movie called Camp eighty six, and if
you don't like horror movies, then don't watch it.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
But I had a blast. I had a blast.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
So thank you for allowing me to share that in
my in our show business segment, Taylor, are you gonna
watch it now?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Oh? Good?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
It's about a bunch of rednecks that get slaughtered by
a ghost.
Speaker 7 (17:04):
Oh, that's that's fun.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
It's amazing like that. It is incredible. I love it.
It's so good.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
All right, we'll talk about your girl Beyonce here in
just a few moments, and then one hundred men versus
one gorilla. What everyone else is getting wrong? Next, Chris

(17:32):
show and the featured segment, said KFI AM six forty
dot com. All right, uh, call I told you we
talked about your girl. Beyonce was part of the Inglewood boom.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
And well this may be a bit of a headache
for fans and local businesses, but actually that's not a
headache for local businesses.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Nice going well so far. So the Clippers were going
out at the same time with the Beyonce concert.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
They're telling me that they are very happy that these
crowds are coming to Inglewood and certainly not complaining we.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Already get a lot of business already.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
But when you get people from out of town and
they just come in and when and just know what's
going on, I'm always the.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
First person they see, so I let them know what
it is.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
We almost have all the inside reserve because they called
ahead of time that they were coming after the concerts
and stuff.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
So we're happy about that.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Yeah, you should be happy about that. Got a big
boom for for everybody there at the statement. It's going
on tonight too, right, Yeah, in fact, the tonight's concert
kicks off here in twenty minutes. Kayla, are you going No?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Did you get tickets? Are you going on on the seventh?
Speaker 7 (18:36):
I was going to go these tickets prices are super
affordable right now, but then I realize I got to
get the whole cow girl gear and just really make
a whole art of it. I just don't have the.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for your loss.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
Yeah, who concerts on social media anyway?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
So I just love that this is exploding and you
have you have Let's let's face it, you've got a
bunch of country music fans who are showing their true colors.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
You're like that ain't country, and you're like, m is
the problem that the music is in country? Is that
what your problem is?
Speaker 7 (19:12):
We all know what the problem is.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
We know what the problem, we know what the issue is. Yeah,
so all right.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
We were asking people earlier about the debate man versus gorilla,
and we said, what is one hundred thing? Excuse me,
what is something that one hundred men could not defeat?
And of course the argument is over whether or not
one hundred men could defeat one. We're assuming silver back goerrilla,
and the argument rages on. In fact, we've got some people,
(19:41):
some experts, that say yes, one hundred people could do it.
Of course, coordinated strategic waves would wear the ape out.
The gorilla would certainly get tired, and probably fairly quickly,
because gorillas are not endurance athletes and the way humans
are that according to Stacy Rosenbaum, who's an anthropologist at
the University of Michigan, telling Forbes in talking with Rolling Stone,
(20:03):
cat O Batter, who's a primatologist the University of St.
Andrews in Scotland, said the gorilla would win a mountain.
Gorilla's muscle mass and its adaptations to live in high
altitudes would give the ape a clear advantage. The men
would be swatting at him like out of breath children,
and a single one of his punches would floor them.
(20:24):
So I guess, is it home Field? Who are these men?
What kind of gorilla?
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Silver back? Is it a mountain gorilla? What's the kind
of gorilla? There's a lot of questions to go into this.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
NBC News of course tackled the issue because this is
what we worry about today.
Speaker 12 (20:38):
Well, it's a very interesting question, and it's been super
fun to see how much it has engaged people on
the internet.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
I talk about.
Speaker 12 (20:45):
Gorillas all day long, so I love that other people
are talking about them as well. I don't think there's
a definitive answer, but I have to say that I
would be on the side of the humans in this case.
Gorilla's come to this with a ton of power, all
that upper body strength. You can see them here kind
of just smashing people right and left.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
They've got incredible draw strength.
Speaker 12 (21:04):
But I think the sheer number of humans that they
would be up against, and the fact that humans could
hopefully coordinate their behavior tag team take a little bit
of a rest while the gorilla would just be going
full steam. The whole time, would really put the advantage
in for the humans.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Okay, let me give you the answer that nobody else
has mentioned here. Why are we fighting a gorilla? What
did the gorilla do to you? I bet that if
you just sat down and talked to the gorilla, maybe
off of the gorilla and it's banana, then nobody has
to fight the gorilla.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
Sounds like just some machiese mo, you know, like super tough.
Let me just prove how bad I am, because that'd
beat an innocent gorilla up.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I mean it is.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
It's a fun mental exercise, but this isn't But the
mental exercise plays into machismo, as you point it out right,
it's just basically it.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Says who's tougher? Like is the question who's tougher? Or
should the.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Question be how could one hundred, one hundred men and
one gorilla get along?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Right?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
There's never that question. The question is always about might bigger, better, faster, stronger?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Right? Then the question is never who's smarter. We don't say.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
If you and one hundred men and encountered a gorilla,
what would you do? We say, could one hundred men
beat one gorilla? As though there's no other option. If
you are with one hundred other people and you're meandering
around the mountains of Scotland or wherever you are. If
you're with Jane Goodall and you're in the midst and
you encounter a gorilla, do you necessarily have to go
(22:45):
to battle?
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Maybe?
Speaker 3 (22:48):
And I learned this from watching King Kong. I watched
a lot of movies. Maybe we just leave the gorilla alone.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Anybody think of that.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Maybe we say nice things to the gorilla, Maybe we
compliment the gorilla.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Maybe maybe we.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Offer the gorilla some sort of peace offering. Nobody ever
thinks this way.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
We always think who can beat who up? By the way,
this is why we not survive in prison.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Yeah, the minute I get to prison and they're like,
which game are you joining?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
You better pick a side and go why do we
have to have sides?
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Don't you think that we could all as a society
function better and focus on our common enemy, the man?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
And they go what? And then they beat me up
and I would lose quickly.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
But since we're only doing an intellectual exercise and I'm
hiding behind a microphone in a padded.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Room, I get to just say, why are there got
to be a fight.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Can't we all just get along? I, for one, am
not interested in trying to beat up a gorilla, But
if I were, obviously the men would win because we
would distract the gorilla. Then we jump on him from
behind and try to choke him out. That's that's how
we would handle it. Yeah, I know he could. He
could crush us all or bite us in two or whatever.
But nobody wants to be the first guy in. But
(24:12):
the fact is you just have to distract him for
a little while. Take out his knee cap. I haven't
thought about it.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
I haven't.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
I haven't thought about.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Jumping on the back and then on the legs, and
a couple of people on the arm so he can't
fling him around. I haven't thought this through at all.
Break his fingers, no, gallug him in the eyes, find
the soft tissue. I haven't thought about it because I've
only been thinking about how do we get along with
the gorilla.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Throat punch.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
We're gonna talk with the great Doctor Wendy Walls. She
previews Doctor Wendy after dark.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Is raul back? But are you back right? Okay? Good?
Speaker 3 (24:50):
I just wanted to make sure before I went to
break and then we had the dead air. We're gonna
talk with doctor Wendy Walls. Doctor Wendy after Dark starts
at seven o'clock. That is when Caleb wanted to be
at the Beyonce concert, but did not have a cowboy hat,
so we'll not be going. We'll check with Doctor Wendy next.

Speaker 6 (25:35):
Oh that's right, Yeah, yeah, I'll get all the non
Beyonce fans tonight.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
I'm curious about I have a couple of things. First
of all, I wanted to get your take on the
gorilla story. I don't know if you've been following.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
No, I haven't followed the gorilla story.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Well, a gorilla story is that the internet was a
buzz this week over who would win one hundred men
or one gorilla in what?
Speaker 6 (25:56):
When?
Speaker 4 (25:56):
What?
Speaker 6 (25:56):
And how?
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Like a boxing match and a ring. Just if one hundred,
one hundred unarmed men versus one gorilla, that's it.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
There's no other context.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
And my thing is why at the same time or
one at a time.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
It's you can you can use your brain power and
coordinate however you like.
Speaker 6 (26:13):
Okay, the man the man. If there's one hundred of them,
because they right.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
You just distract them and go for the soft tissue, right.
But my thing was why what?
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Why are we? Why are we fighting the gorilla? Why?
Speaker 3 (26:24):
I mean, isn't this sort of the foundation of like
a male dominated society that when we see something that
is that is strong, we try to figure out how
could we best it?
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Yeah? Uh? What what is wrong with us? Is that about?
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Is that a survival technique from from tribalism of primitive times?
Speaker 6 (26:43):
It's a mating strategy, oh interests back to our anthropological times.
Men love to showcase braun and bravery and muscles because
chicks dig it, not unlike the poor peacock and his
big burdensome tail. There's only one reason that it evolved
(27:03):
to be there, because chicks dig it, and so yeah,
the same thing. It actually did one study where they
had made a bunch of fake dating profiles that with
the same guy's picture but different descriptions, and if he
mentioned he had military service, he got more swipe rights.
Now then they thought, well, instead of saying, you know,
(27:25):
I was at war or whatever, they said, he works
as an accountant for the military in a desk job,
he's still got more.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Ok, just the fatigues themselves did the trick.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
That was it? Huh, Because it's also deep down a
million years ago women needed men for protection.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
We still do.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
The sad thing is that the you know, the most
dangerous place for a woman to live is in a
man in a house with a man, because.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yeah, that's true domestic violence one exactly.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
So is it fair to say then that the patriarchal
society that that somebody complained about is because chicks keep
liking Oh yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:04):
Women created this. Now, not the women in this generation,
but it takes many, many, many generations for us to change.
But female choice is what drives the species forward into evolution,
and as a result, anything you see on a man
that you find attractive, whether it's a deep voice or muscles, whatever,
it exists because women picked it. Facial hair, right beards, Yeah,
(28:29):
women liked it.
Speaker 7 (28:30):
Daddy like, oh, excuse me, sir, excuse me, stop immediately.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
So okay.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Then, speaking of human survival and evolution, I was reading
a study this week. They said we are facing a
birth rate crisis and that we have been doing our
math wrong all along. Families need at least two point
seven children to avoid extinction. Previously, we thought two point
one percent or two point one children per family in
(28:58):
order to to avoid extension. Now they're saying, yeah, well
it doesn't take into effects variations. You know, you've got
one child who's not going to reproduce, you've got another
one who's steraile, you've got another one who doesn't survive,
whatever it might be. They're saying, no, we've been doing
this wrong all along, and developed countries especially, we are
falling well short of that threshold.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
Well, the whole planet is not falling south of that threshold.
So as a result, migration, that's why we're seeing so
much migration, Oh amazing around the planet for resources.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Yeah, and then the countries that have the lower birth
rate have all the resources.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
How is that possible?
Speaker 6 (29:42):
Why do they need to reap? They're fat and happy. Yeah,
we need to strive for it. Did you know there's
something called the immigrant health paradox, which is, you know,
I teach health psychology, right that people who immigrate their
first generation babies tend to be higher birth weight and healthier,
even though, oh they may have come from countries with
(30:03):
malnutrition and all kinds of problems. Right, They're actually healthier
than babies born here.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Do you know why? That is got to be survival
of some sort, right.
Speaker 6 (30:12):
Yeah, but it's self selected by the people who are
able to immigrate tend to be the strongest.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
Oh I see, yeah, okay, so the weak are left
behind to make weak babies.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Oh well that's the truth of it, right.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
We're left behind in America here making our own weak babies.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
It's me.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
I'm a weak baby, weak baby, Doctor Wenby after Dark.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
I love talking with you. I love it.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
I feel so much smarter after I discuss things with you,
Doctor Wendy Waalsh and Doctor Wendy after Dark starts at
seven o'clock. You're the best, Brigita Dougus. You know you're
I guess with Andrew Caravella no longer with us because
he is well, his career is dead.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
He's still alive with him being gone.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Now, I guess you are in the A one chair,
so it's you, Brigita. It's all on you, so don't
screw it up from here on ou where we'relying on
you so much pressure.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
That's all right. I feel like I feel like you're
gonna be great.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
Uh and again, I encourage everybody to check out her
Brigida's Instagram.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
It keeps getting better every time I see it.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Kayla, I'm sorry that you're not gonna go get to
see a cowboy Carter tour with Beyonce.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
I am so sorry.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
Maybe Santa will bring you a cowboy hat this year,
unless they're made in China then we can't afford him.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
And Raoul love you, pal.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
You know I love talking with you every week, and
Raoul and I have wonderful conversations off the here.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
