WEBVTT - THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON THE SCROLL 0:00:00.730 --> 0:00:03.140 This is Gary and Shannon, and you're listening to KFI 0:00:03.220 --> 0:00:06.140 AM 640, the Gary and Shannon show on demand on 0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:07.280 the iHeartRadio app. 0:00:09.860 --> 0:00:12.540 But it's also Thursday, which means Thursday night football is 0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:16.160 on tap. Buffalo Bills hosting the Detroit Lions. 0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:20.599 Every single person has taken Buffalo. Buffalo looks damn good 0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:21.240 this season. 0:00:21.540 --> 0:00:24.480 Damn good. But you never know. 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:27.180 Weird things can happen on a Thursday night in week two. 0:00:28.140 --> 0:00:29.430 I hope Detroit makes it a game. 0:00:31.550 --> 0:00:31.910 I don't. 0:00:32.670 --> 0:00:33.070 You don't? 0:00:33.450 --> 0:00:33.890 You don't? 0:00:34.290 --> 0:00:34.550 No. 0:00:34.570 --> 0:00:38.130 I bet on the Buffalo Bills winning. 0:00:38.310 --> 0:00:38.700 Okay. 0:00:38.729 --> 0:00:40.720 I thought we were going to slow you down on 0:00:40.740 --> 0:00:41.280 the gambling. 0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:42.659 I came in here. 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.080 You started watching football last week and you didn't even 0:00:45.140 --> 0:00:47.979 watch the game and now you're gambling on it. This 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:52.340 is how legends get made. Right here in September. 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:54.279 So what was your bet? 0:00:55.500 --> 0:00:58.380 Oh, what's... Okay. I mean, just stall for a second. 0:00:58.400 --> 0:00:59.740 You took the Lions, didn't you? 0:00:59.770 --> 0:01:00.800 You took the Lions, though? 0:01:01.810 --> 0:01:02.610 No, no, no. 0:01:03.270 --> 0:01:04.810 Well, what's the spread? 0:01:05.190 --> 0:01:05.709 Exactly. 0:01:05.810 --> 0:01:07.890 I'm going to show you right now. It's just asking 0:01:07.910 --> 0:01:09.890 for face authentication. 0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:13.580 Your face or someone else's. I'm hoping it's yours. Oh, boy. 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:14.120 Okay. 0:01:14.260 --> 0:01:18.420 Legs, it says Jamar Gibbs is anytime TD scorer. It's 0:01:18.459 --> 0:01:23.760 like receiving yards for Jameer Gibbs rushing 110 plus. 0:01:24.420 --> 0:01:24.780 Okay. 0:01:24.890 --> 0:01:26.750 What did you bet on, though, specifically? 0:01:26.770 --> 0:01:30.400 Well, I just, like, I bet on... The Bills winning 0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:32.600 and then like certain people having like certain. 0:01:32.780 --> 0:01:34.080 So, okay. 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.560 So you need Gibbs to have more than 110 yards 0:01:37.700 --> 0:01:40.530 or meet 110 yards in one game? 0:01:40.830 --> 0:01:44.170 In one game, rushing and receiving. 0:01:44.690 --> 0:01:47.450 You think the Detroit running back against the Buffalo Bills 0:01:47.510 --> 0:01:48.030 is going to get 110 yards? 0:01:48.070 --> 0:01:50.030 Elmer, this is part of the reason why. This is 0:01:50.050 --> 0:01:51.270 why you come talk. 0:01:51.030 --> 0:01:51.690 To me first. 0:01:51.970 --> 0:01:53.350 I don't know what I'm doing. 0:01:53.630 --> 0:01:55.559 What else is good? Did you already play the thing? No. 0:01:56.570 --> 0:01:58.190 Time for What's Happening. 0:01:58.250 --> 0:01:59.370 You try to raise him. 0:01:59.910 --> 0:02:02.270 You try to get him to do the right thing. 0:02:02.330 --> 0:02:03.290 This is what happens. 0:02:03.310 --> 0:02:08.880 Then it just happens. Patrick Clancy is giving an interview. 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.680 Patrick Clancy, the father of the three kids that were 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:16.180 eventually killed by his wife, Lindsay Clancy. He is giving 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.760 an interview that will air this weekend on 60 Minutes. 0:02:22.190 --> 0:02:25.190 He told the correspondent that he still talks to his 0:02:25.270 --> 0:02:30.079 kids all the time. And when asked, what do you 0:02:30.139 --> 0:02:35.000 say to them? Patrick Lansley replied, help me all the time. 0:02:36.260 --> 0:02:37.280 It's an awful story. 0:02:37.419 --> 0:02:37.639 Yeah. 0:02:38.820 --> 0:02:42.970 Nithya Raman, Karen Bass, Steve Hilton all appeared at a 0:02:43.070 --> 0:02:48.760 forum on homelessness, the hot cakes and housing event. hosted 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:52.639 by Hope Mission and by Channel 5. Javier Becerra did 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.679 not want to participate for some reason, probably because he 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:59.820 doesn't like to talk to humans. The forum with Nithya 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.580 Raman and Steve Hilton took place yesterday. Karen Bass had 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:06.820 her version of it today. The topic obviously had to 0:03:06.860 --> 0:03:12.679 do with the big, or I should say, may not obviously, 0:03:12.780 --> 0:03:15.600 but yesterday the federal government came out and talked about 0:03:15.650 --> 0:03:19.600 the massive fraud that they saw involving L.A. Homeless Services 0:03:19.660 --> 0:03:21.850 Authority and the millions of dollars that have been spent 0:03:22.389 --> 0:03:26.630 on people's cars and nightclubs and all that stuff. 0:03:26.710 --> 0:03:28.570 Looks like people are pretty split when it comes to 0:03:28.610 --> 0:03:32.690 Prop 40 in California. This is the billionaire tax proposal, 0:03:33.210 --> 0:03:37.860 and it is slated to win in November, albeit a 0:03:38.020 --> 0:03:38.960 narrow win. 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:41.440 There was a poll released this week. 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:45.720 It showed a slim majority of voters supporting it, 52%. 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.360 This is the one that would levy a one-time tax 0:03:48.380 --> 0:03:53.740 on billionaires. Opposition, obviously, if you've got 52 supporting, got 0:03:53.740 --> 0:03:56.380 46 not supporting that with a margin of error and 0:03:56.430 --> 0:03:59.990 some undecideds thrown in as well. They say that this 0:04:00.070 --> 0:04:02.490 is a tax that's going to generate $ 100 billion to 0:04:02.530 --> 0:04:06.090 support health care in the state and backfill cuts from 0:04:06.110 --> 0:04:07.570 the Trump administration. 0:04:07.590 --> 0:04:08.390 This would be. 0:04:08.330 --> 0:04:13.130 A 5% tax on billionaires. How many billionaires live in 0:04:13.170 --> 0:04:16.169 the state? About 250. 0:04:16.339 --> 0:04:18.920 This is going to be one of those very confusing 0:04:18.980 --> 0:04:21.480 things that as we get closer to the election day, 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:25.060 it's going to take very careful discussion. 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.880 People have already left because of it. Larry Page, Steven Spielberg. 0:04:29.380 --> 0:04:31.880 Get the hell out of here before that 5% tax bill. 0:04:32.060 --> 0:04:36.070 Sergey Brin, one of the founders of Google, along with 0:04:36.110 --> 0:04:40.109 Larry Page. Sergey Brin has spent over $ 100 million fighting 0:04:40.290 --> 0:04:43.510 Prop 40 and supporting Prop 41. 0:04:43.510 --> 0:04:46.950 What's that one? That's the countermeasure to it. that if 0:04:47.660 --> 0:04:53.840 Prop 41 gets more votes than Prop 40, there's no 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:54.700 billionaire's tax. 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:59.520 Now, yes, there's a conversation to be had. The billionaires 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.050 have more money than they can deal with. 0:05:01.470 --> 0:05:03.730 What's 5%? It's still an S-ton of money. 0:05:04.230 --> 0:05:08.859 But You're going to give it to the state of California, 0:05:09.260 --> 0:05:12.520 which has done what? We just spent a half an 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:16.310 hour talking about how when the last time we gave 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:21.230 the government money to fix homelessness, they turned around and 0:05:21.330 --> 0:05:24.910 spent it on hookers and blow essentially on a nightclub 0:05:24.950 --> 0:05:25.550 in Inglewood. Yeah. 0:05:26.350 --> 0:05:26.570 So. 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:32.240 Why would somebody who built their fortune on their own 0:05:32.300 --> 0:05:35.930 back turn around and hand over a massive portion to 0:05:35.970 --> 0:05:39.430 a government that cannot be trusted to make that money 0:05:39.529 --> 0:05:40.750 do anything. 0:05:42.010 --> 0:05:42.370 Good? 0:05:43.589 --> 0:05:46.850 Also, the naivete of people who believe that it will 0:05:47.010 --> 0:05:47.630 end there. 0:05:48.010 --> 0:05:48.250 Yeah. 0:05:48.350 --> 0:05:50.510 The idea that they're going to– do you know who 0:05:50.610 --> 0:05:57.240 really likes taxing people? state governments, and when they realize 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.320 that they use $ 100 million, supposedly that's how much money 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.820 would be brought in, that when they use that up, boy, 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:05.980 they're going to be coming after other people who don't 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:07.380 make billions of dollars. 0:06:07.500 --> 0:06:07.950 That's right. 0:06:09.230 --> 0:06:12.270 King Charles is pushing back. Buckingham Palace has issued a 0:06:12.350 --> 0:06:18.650 rare forceful denial after the brother of Princess Diana wrote 0:06:18.770 --> 0:06:22.979 in a book... that then Prince Charles, who was Prince, 0:06:23.020 --> 0:06:26.120 not the king, said that his first wife would soon 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:31.150 be forgotten in the days after her death. Charles Spencer's 0:06:31.190 --> 0:06:34.190 book has not even come out yet, but he recounts 0:06:34.230 --> 0:06:36.450 the emotional days in the aftermath of her death back 0:06:36.540 --> 0:06:40.400 in 1997 when she was just 36 years old. One 0:06:40.580 --> 0:06:43.820 excerpt that was published just yesterday alleges a very heated 0:06:43.900 --> 0:06:49.030 exchange with then Prince Charles. over whether the princes, over 0:06:49.070 --> 0:06:52.650 whether William and Harry should walk behind their mother's coffin 0:06:52.690 --> 0:06:56.990 in the funeral procession. And the brother says, he said 0:06:57.350 --> 0:07:00.330 Diana would not want them to endure such an ordeal 0:07:00.390 --> 0:07:05.980 because it would be too sad for them. Prince Charles 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:09.820 supposedly then blew up at him and that Charles unleashed 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:12.160 down the phone what I have always taken to be 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:15.850 his pent-up contempt for Diana. and his horror that the 0:07:15.910 --> 0:07:20.580 world was so bowled over by her death. Rest assured, 0:07:20.700 --> 0:07:26.080 he hissed, we'll forget her soon enough, is supposedly what 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:29.240 the prince said about his then-late wife. 0:07:32.340 --> 0:07:32.680 All right. 0:07:33.230 --> 0:07:37.510 Gibbs had 156 rushing yards last week, but that was 0:07:37.550 --> 0:07:38.430 against the Saints. 0:07:39.070 --> 0:07:40.150 The Bills were not the Saints. 0:07:40.170 --> 0:07:41.250 Okay. 0:07:41.550 --> 0:07:45.510 The Bills held David Montgomery... To 60 yards last week 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:50.480 on the ground, averaging just 3.9 yards per carry. Their 0:07:50.500 --> 0:07:55.300 run defense has significantly improved since last year. It's doable, 0:07:55.340 --> 0:07:55.880 but it's not. 0:07:55.780 --> 0:07:56.400 Going to be done. 0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:57.280 I'll take doable. 0:07:59.220 --> 0:08:00.660 But it's not going to be done was the rest 0:08:00.700 --> 0:08:01.360 of that sentence. 0:08:02.700 --> 0:08:04.030 So you think the bet is a. 0:08:04.660 --> 0:08:05.120 Stinker. 0:08:05.140 --> 0:08:06.050 Listen, you do you. 0:08:06.260 --> 0:08:09.390 There he goes. Used it. Good job. Thank you. 0:08:09.530 --> 0:08:10.120 What do you use it? 0:08:10.170 --> 0:08:10.470 A booth. 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:13.880 See, now I'm just hearing it and glossing over it. 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:15.660 You're so used to it now. It doesn't even have 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:16.860 an impact on me anymore. 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:18.260 Swamp watch when we come back. 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:24.080 You're listening to Gary and Shannon On Demand from KFI AM640. 0:08:25.780 --> 0:08:26.620 Fecal urgency. 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:27.860 What? 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:32.120 Oh, just a term I've seen used in high rocks 0:08:32.230 --> 0:08:33.300 competitions lately. 0:08:34.190 --> 0:08:35.730 Ah, yeah. 0:08:36.510 --> 0:08:42.770 I would say poor woman. Who had quite the blowout 0:08:43.470 --> 0:08:49.480 while she was winning her High Rocks competition. We have 0:08:49.500 --> 0:08:54.199 some follow-up on that because there's been some more fallout, 0:08:54.380 --> 0:08:54.780 if you will. 0:08:54.820 --> 0:08:57.860 Well, okay, you've run races before. 0:08:58.179 --> 0:08:58.500 Yes. 0:08:59.020 --> 0:09:05.280 I remember I ran one half marathon. And I remember, 0:09:05.300 --> 0:09:07.880 if we're doing full disclosure here, are we doing that? 0:09:09.490 --> 0:09:09.730 Or no? 0:09:09.990 --> 0:09:11.650 Let's wait for the full disclosure. 0:09:12.030 --> 0:09:12.150 Oh. 0:09:12.190 --> 0:09:14.310 That will be one of the reasons to tune in 0:09:14.330 --> 0:09:15.470 a little bit later in the show. 0:09:15.590 --> 0:09:17.230 Is that a reason to tune in later? 0:09:17.250 --> 0:09:23.660 That's quite the tease. It's... In the meantime... It's time 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:24.840 for Swamp Watch. 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:28.880 Oh, okay. That's why I got confused. 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:30.939 I'm stealing their lollipops. Here we go. 0:09:30.980 --> 0:09:34.079 The real problem is that our leaders are dumb. 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:35.339 The other side never quits. 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:36.640 What are you. 0:09:36.740 --> 0:09:37.880 Doing in my swamp? 0:09:37.940 --> 0:09:39.240 I'm not going anywhere. 0:09:39.300 --> 0:09:39.750 So dumb. 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:41.729 That is how you drain the swamp. 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.020 I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by 0:09:44.070 --> 0:09:45.089 what has been, you know? 0:09:45.110 --> 0:09:46.550 Americans have always been gullible. 0:09:47.150 --> 0:09:50.329 But they're not stupid. A political blunder is when a 0:09:50.350 --> 0:09:53.219 politician actually tells the truth. Whether people voted for you 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:53.760 or not. 0:09:53.780 --> 0:09:54.720 Swamp watch. 0:09:54.840 --> 0:10:02.240 They're all canon. President Trump. has been saying over and 0:10:02.290 --> 0:10:04.240 over again since the start of the war with Iran 0:10:04.250 --> 0:10:09.440 in February, there's going to be some discomfort. Gas prices 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:14.179 now have reached record levels. Diesel is absolutely through the roof. 0:10:16.020 --> 0:10:18.790 Crude oil costs more now than it has in a 0:10:18.830 --> 0:10:25.410 very long time. Brent International, Brent crude is about $ 105 0:10:23.770 --> 0:10:27.990 a barrel. But he says that the high gas prices 0:10:28.050 --> 0:10:30.369 that we're paying at the pump every day are a 0:10:30.470 --> 0:10:33.459 small price to pay for what we've gotten in the 0:10:33.500 --> 0:10:34.059 war with Iran. 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:36.439 You have a little higher. You have a higher. It's 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:39.800 a very inexpensive price to pay for what we've done. 0:10:39.980 --> 0:10:42.700 Remember that it's a little more. It's even if it 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.689 was frankly, even if it was a lot more. But 0:10:45.710 --> 0:10:47.130 that's going to come tumbling down. 0:10:47.170 --> 0:10:50.010 That's going to be like a rocket ship in reverse. 0:10:51.270 --> 0:10:54.030 It's going to be like a rocket ship in reverse. 0:10:54.429 --> 0:10:57.589 So falling to the ground and exploding is usually how 0:10:57.670 --> 0:11:01.090 rocket ships come back down, at least outside of SpaceX. 0:11:02.450 --> 0:11:05.410 The president also captured in some pictures reading a poster 0:11:05.450 --> 0:11:10.150 board inside Air Force One that has the headline Kennedy 0:11:10.190 --> 0:11:16.880 Center demolished. The president told reporters that the JFK Center 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.780 for the Performing Arts will end up being ripped down 0:11:19.940 --> 0:11:25.230 unless major renovations are taken. And it's being painted as 0:11:25.429 --> 0:11:28.930 the president demanding that his name be put on the 0:11:28.970 --> 0:11:33.980 building or else it's going to be torn down. Congresswoman 0:11:34.020 --> 0:11:37.300 Joyce Beatty out of Ohio is a plaintiff in a 0:11:37.340 --> 0:11:40.720 lawsuit against the president over the Kennedy Center. She cited 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.020 the photo in a federal court filing because she's trying 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.480 to get an emergency court order for a judge to 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:50.070 consider halting the closure of the center. A spokesperson for 0:11:50.370 --> 0:11:54.870 the Kennedy Center specifically said nothing is being demolished. Nothing 0:11:54.929 --> 0:12:01.170 is being torn down in court documents. Um, Rama Davari, 0:12:01.210 --> 0:12:04.410 the Kennedy Center's vice president of public relations, said real 0:12:04.570 --> 0:12:08.470 America's voice told the real America's voice that nothing is 0:12:08.510 --> 0:12:11.190 being demolished, that people should ignore the media that is 0:12:11.230 --> 0:12:15.270 saying that because no one has ever said that coming 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.300 from this institution. 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:19.660 Can we get. 0:12:19.620 --> 0:12:23.859 Back to crapping yourself at a CrossFit high rocks? 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:25.479 Not yet. You're going to have to wait for it. 0:12:25.980 --> 0:12:29.060 Good Lord. This is just so embarrassing. 0:12:31.300 --> 0:12:33.720 She jacked, though. She's jacked. 0:12:33.740 --> 0:12:35.800 No, no, no. I'm talking about the whole Kennedy Center 0:12:35.870 --> 0:12:37.690 being used as a political pawn. 0:12:37.710 --> 0:12:38.210 You guys. 0:12:38.230 --> 0:12:38.809 Oh, okay. 0:12:39.070 --> 0:12:40.170 It's embarrassing. 0:12:40.370 --> 0:12:40.850 Yeah, it is. 0:12:40.890 --> 0:12:41.130 It is. 0:12:42.950 --> 0:12:46.329 I'm not talking about crapping your pants, guys. I'm talking 0:12:46.350 --> 0:12:53.349 about the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts. You mentioned this earlier, 0:12:53.410 --> 0:12:57.910 the poll that's been taken regarding the California wealth tax, 0:12:57.950 --> 0:13:01.449 the billionaire tax is a slight majority, 52% that support 0:13:01.490 --> 0:13:05.850 Prop 40 right now, which would impose that one time 5% 0:13:05.850 --> 0:13:11.490 tax on assets owned by billionaires. Canadian Prime Minister Mark 0:13:11.650 --> 0:13:15.990 Carney is calling for deeper transatlantic ties with the European Union. 0:13:16.470 --> 0:13:20.000 You saw this maybe that the European Union was offering 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:24.170 a new position. Where Canada would be considered sort of 0:13:24.370 --> 0:13:29.050 a partner of the European Union, but not a full-fledged member. 0:13:29.750 --> 0:13:35.290 Sort of like maybe a satellite country that could be 0:13:35.390 --> 0:13:36.709 part of the European Union. 0:13:37.130 --> 0:13:43.350 I have some local Swamp Watch news. Karen Bass apparently 0:13:43.370 --> 0:13:48.219 has some allies that are quite worried. Um, one, uh, 0:13:48.940 --> 0:13:53.900 who has been granted anonymity to speak to Politico says 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:56.760 that they're starting to see a race for mayor of 0:13:56.960 --> 0:14:00.600 LA that bass could lose this person that wanted to 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.540 remain anonymous. And who knows that this is really a 0:14:03.590 --> 0:14:05.990 Raman person pretending to be a bass person. Cause you 0:14:06.010 --> 0:14:08.510 never know, but this person says, I think you have 0:14:08.550 --> 0:14:12.270 to give Nithya the advantage. I really do. The energy 0:14:12.410 --> 0:14:18.250 is with Nithya and it's unfortunate. Now, that energy not 0:14:18.309 --> 0:14:20.750 really showing up in the polls, is it? One of 0:14:20.790 --> 0:14:25.150 the last ones we saw showed Bass hold a lead 0:14:25.710 --> 0:14:31.610 mid-single digits, but still considerable lead. Others show the mayor 0:14:31.690 --> 0:14:36.440 way ahead. But they're pointing to the fact that she's 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:41.460 been hammered in recent weeks by self-inflicted wounds, unlucky breaks. 0:14:41.940 --> 0:14:46.980 This LASA mess is not going to get better. I mean, 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:50.900 it was a moment when I said to you, do. 0:14:51.230 --> 0:14:53.090 You think she had a heads up about this? 0:14:53.610 --> 0:14:57.870 This guy who got caught pocketing 7.5 million homelessness money. 0:14:59.490 --> 0:15:01.310 And that's why she got off the board. And that 0:15:01.330 --> 0:15:04.170 was a moment of our conversation. That moment is going 0:15:04.190 --> 0:15:06.940 to turn into a snowball, I bet, for her. And 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:10.790 what did she know? And are her fingerprints on that 0:15:10.850 --> 0:15:12.110 Lassa crime scene? 0:15:13.010 --> 0:15:15.350 Yeah, to go back to the first part of that 0:15:15.430 --> 0:15:22.290 is who's spilling this information? Is this somebody working for 0:15:22.310 --> 0:15:26.530 the Bass campaign that's trying to fire up the Bass supporters? Like, hey, 0:15:27.290 --> 0:15:29.910 we can't sleep on our laurels here or rest on 0:15:29.970 --> 0:15:33.380 our laurels here. That's hard to say. Or is it 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.800 somebody from Nithya Raman's camp to try to puff up 0:15:35.860 --> 0:15:39.020 their candidate To make it seem like there is momentum 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:39.730 when there really isn't. 0:15:39.750 --> 0:15:43.730 You've had a big week. You've mentioned laurels, boofing, ducats. 0:15:43.990 --> 0:15:46.990 It's been a lot. 0:15:47.250 --> 0:15:48.490 It's getting tiresome. 0:15:48.690 --> 0:15:50.570 It's a lot going on up there in the noggin. 0:15:50.590 --> 0:15:55.290 Remember that part of Phenomenon where John Travolta could speak 0:15:55.350 --> 0:15:56.090 different languages? 0:15:56.770 --> 0:15:57.590 I didn't see that movie. 0:15:58.330 --> 0:15:58.990 Is it worth a watch? 0:15:59.310 --> 0:15:59.609 Sad. 0:15:59.950 --> 0:16:00.610 Is it? Yeah. 0:16:00.830 --> 0:16:02.490 Everyone die in the end? At least somebody? 0:16:02.670 --> 0:16:02.870 Somebody. 0:16:02.890 --> 0:16:03.090 He does. 0:16:03.870 --> 0:16:04.370 Somebody does. 0:16:04.510 --> 0:16:09.960 Oh, God. Sounds awful. I never saw the castaway, you know, 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.800 with Tom Hanks and the ball, the volleyball. 0:16:12.860 --> 0:16:14.040 I just referenced that yesterday. 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:14.900 I know. I know the references. 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:15.780 You acted as if you knew. 0:16:16.470 --> 0:16:17.470 I know the references. 0:16:17.590 --> 0:16:19.990 Oh. I mean, it's a guy who develops a friendship 0:16:20.010 --> 0:16:21.650 with a ball because he's alone on an island. 0:16:21.710 --> 0:16:22.990 It's not a hard thing to grasp. 0:16:23.010 --> 0:16:23.870 How did he get there? 0:16:24.590 --> 0:16:25.170 To the island? 0:16:25.190 --> 0:16:25.330 Yeah. 0:16:25.390 --> 0:16:27.450 I don't know. I assume a plane crash. 0:16:28.030 --> 0:16:29.050 I guess you have seen it. 0:16:29.690 --> 0:16:32.490 Well, how else do you get marooned on an island? 0:16:32.790 --> 0:16:33.310 Shipwreck. 0:16:34.790 --> 0:16:35.190 Okay. 0:16:35.490 --> 0:16:37.660 But less like... Swimming? 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:38.660 I don't know. 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.960 How long is he there on the island? 0:16:44.660 --> 0:16:46.100 Years. A couple years. Really? 0:16:46.180 --> 0:16:46.359 Yeah. 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:47.620 A couple years. 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.180 I'm not going to give it away, but he makes 0:16:50.260 --> 0:16:51.160 it off the island. 0:16:51.250 --> 0:16:53.120 And then at the end, he goes and he lives 0:16:53.180 --> 0:16:55.090 at the airport for a while. Is that right? 0:16:55.150 --> 0:16:58.090 Different movie. Okay. Different movie. But yes. 0:16:58.150 --> 0:16:59.170 And then he starts running. 0:16:59.530 --> 0:17:00.550 And then he just kept running. 0:17:00.570 --> 0:17:01.010 He just runs. 0:17:01.050 --> 0:17:02.610 Running and running. 0:17:02.630 --> 0:17:03.310 All right. 0:17:04.050 --> 0:17:06.010 This is your Brain on Short Form video. I think 0:17:06.050 --> 0:17:12.330 we have Proven. We need help not looking at short-form videos. 0:17:13.310 --> 0:17:15.890 And the surprising number of people who say, I should 0:17:15.930 --> 0:17:21.530 not say number of people, the surprising occupations of people 0:17:21.590 --> 0:17:25.889 who suggest that short-form videos are turning our children into morons. 0:17:27.300 --> 0:17:28.379 Gary and Shannon will continue. 0:17:28.500 --> 0:17:33.200 I also have a question about does every generation think 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:34.240 the kids are stupid? 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:34.640 Yes. 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:35.159 Got it. 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:40.159 You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI 0:17:40.300 --> 0:17:43.080 AM 640. 0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:47.149 We have been talking about the Iran war and there 0:17:47.170 --> 0:17:50.290 was a report out of the Washington Post that detailed 0:17:50.330 --> 0:17:54.650 some concerns that oil experts now have about the potential, 0:17:54.710 --> 0:17:57.450 not just for high gas prices, but high gas prices 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:02.150 and a spike in gas and oil prices. that we 0:18:02.260 --> 0:18:05.919 could see big jumps over the next several months, prices 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.920 of gasoline and diesel. And again, this is already with 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:13.980 record high. Nationwide average is over 430, I believe, for 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:17.140 a gallon of regular unleaded. And if you're in California, 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:21.140 it's up over six. The price of diesel is now 0:18:21.220 --> 0:18:23.500 up over eight bucks. The Washington Post talked to a 0:18:23.500 --> 0:18:26.080 bunch of oil experts who said that the Saudi pipeline 0:18:26.100 --> 0:18:29.040 that was attacked is going to be closed not for days, 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:33.130 but potentially a few weeks. longer than everybody's been saying, 0:18:33.570 --> 0:18:35.909 and that the number of oil tankers that are actually 0:18:36.010 --> 0:18:38.270 transiting the Strait of Hormuz on the other side of 0:18:38.310 --> 0:18:41.410 Saudi Arabia, the other side of the peninsula, is lower 0:18:41.470 --> 0:18:45.570 than most people have been reporting. So it could get worse. 0:18:45.790 --> 0:18:49.300 There was a health column in The Atlantic, and it 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:53.340 was written by someone named Hana Kiros. And it's about 0:18:53.380 --> 0:18:58.200 the fact that scientists know little about TikTok and TikTok. 0:18:58.859 --> 0:19:04.020 the TikTok-esque short-form videos that we're all exposed to these days. 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:04.899 Ad nauseum. 0:19:06.340 --> 0:19:09.780 They don't know how these affect human cognition, but they 0:19:09.820 --> 0:19:11.840 write that the signs are not good. 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:15.780 Yeah, I mean, anecdotally, we can all agree it's not 0:19:15.900 --> 0:19:19.820 good for us to be fed these little dopamine hits 0:19:19.900 --> 0:19:22.400 the way that we're fed them all day, every day, 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:27.969 if you choose to do that. We could just... into 0:19:28.050 --> 0:19:30.780 it that it's not great for us and for our brain. 0:19:30.859 --> 0:19:34.260 I mentioned listening to the Andrew Garfield interview that he 0:19:34.300 --> 0:19:38.560 did on SmartList, the podcast. They actually talked about an 0:19:38.660 --> 0:19:42.620 interview that he did recently. He's promoting his new film 0:19:43.090 --> 0:19:46.230 in which a London couple moves their tech dependent kids 0:19:46.290 --> 0:19:50.409 to a barn without electricity. He was doing the interview 0:19:50.450 --> 0:19:53.260 about the film and he described himself as addicted to 0:19:53.300 --> 0:19:57.619 an Instagram feed full of weird ceramics and Japanese craftspeople. 0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:01.540 He told Variety, I've given all of those hours to nothing. 0:20:01.740 --> 0:20:05.060 It's genuinely enraging because we don't have as much control 0:20:05.180 --> 0:20:07.379
