Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app. Yum, chomp, chomp chomp. Do
you want your Jeopardy question? Sure? All right, Yeah we
did that. I just kind of let it slide. Actually
we always did around this time. The World of Pop
(00:21):
Culture for four hundred dollars a little loud, but you
know they listen. We're all living our own volume journey.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Thing wasn't working your Internetstown.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Robots with a good memory for bad times. Up end
of theme Park on this a futuristic HBO series.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Oh that was mine is west World?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Yes, that was your show.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I like that show.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
You did like that show?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Two seasons, the rest of it, Yeah, Downhill.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
It was really you're all in on that show. The
first one. It's pretty good. First season, it's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Amazing. Got a little weird. There was always a little weird.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I went to my first I went tost Okay game
and I saw Shannon down there and I was messaging
her and I didn't really know how to use the app,
and she asked me if I was by the easy
and I didn't know what an easy is It took
me about a week to figure it out. Anyway, that's
(01:20):
funny time, and by then it's too late to say, yes,
that's funny.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
What else is going on? Time for what's happening?
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Well, a bunch of stories going on Internationally. President Trump
says he's not happy with Russian President Vladimir Putin. We
know that there were some talks to some degree this
week in London about a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia.
And as they've made progress, Russia then launched its deadliest
wave of attacks against Kiev in nine months, several hundred
(01:56):
missiles and drones that were fired in the direction at
lee least twelve deaths in Kiev, dozens and dozens of
people injured. In a truth social post this morning, Trump wrote,
I am not happy with the Russian strikes on Kiev.
Not necessary and very bad timing. Vladimir stop. Five thousand
soldiers a week are dying. Let's get the piece deal done.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
We are following this police activity in Miami day. It's
a warehouse area? Is this separate? Sorry? I have no internet,
so I A you're right scrambling It was okay? So
this was the one warehouse area near a car dealer
there in Miami Dade. Of course, the police presence, fire
(02:40):
presence still quite heavy there. They believe that a shooter
shot himself after shooting several other people. It's an area
called Glen Var Heights if you are familiar.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
One of the witnesses told a TV station in Florida's
he saw the shooter take out a handgun and afle
and fire shots at law enforcement and then ran inside
their warehouse.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
It was take your child to work day, you know.
My husband said yesterday was take your kid to work
day at his place of employment. And I thought, how
come we don't do that around here. I don't see
any kids around here.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I don't want to encourage kids to do this in
their future.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Don't you think it's important for kids to know what
their parents do. I loved that. I loved going to
the school where my dad taught at so I could
see like it was so cool, like he was a superhero.
I wish i'd know that.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I would have brought my daughter.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
She thinks what we do is really cool. I would
have loved to meet your daughter.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
She thinks everybody here is really cool, and like, well,
then maybe.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Then we keep her away from us. We keep her
away so that we keep that level of coolness.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Bottle that heather, because there will be a time in
a couple of years where she's just like, ugh, I'm
really nervous.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Eleven I adored my mother and then twelve year old
I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Another story that's going on right now at Langley air
Force Base, National Transportation Safety Boards at an aircraft has
crashed there and that the NTSB is and root. They
of course are close, so it's not going to take
them a very long time to get there. But a
phone call a press contact at Langley Air Force said
that first responders are on the scene, safety and security
(04:26):
of personnel is still a priority and they're still under investigation.
They said the plane is likely a high performance single
seat aerobatic aircraft designed primarily for air shows and competitive aerobatics.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Sorry, still struggling over here.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Jack in the Blox has announced the somewhere between one
hundred and fifty and two hundred underperforming stores part of
an aggressive financial plan that they are calling Jack on Track,
CEO of Jack and the Box Catchy.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
That's reminded me of something I heard earlier.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I said in a statement.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
The fast food chain known for Jumbo the Jumbo Yak,
and they're sarcastic. Jack in the box mascot is accelerating
cash flow and paying down debt.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I have an awful story to share. Maybe I shouldn't
share it.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Is it to require music?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
No, it's really bad. Twin brothers, high school students, both
drowned during a fishing outing in Mississippi. Wow, not awful.
Eighteen years old, Cameron and Jamerian.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I have a better story than that's good.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
That's good? Could you imagine? I mean, it's a family tragedy,
it's a school tragedy. It's a community. That is the
stuff that you never books are written about. That kind
of stuff like that is insane for a small town,
especially to get their head around.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Constance Meyer of Beverly Hills violin teacher to some very
rich and happy people. But she would cough a lot,
and her students noticed it. The parents of some of
the students noticed it. Finally, when she seventy two year
old virtuoso concert violinist, when she coughed in front of
(06:16):
a UCLA cardiologist. The UCLA cardiologist said, you want to
get that checked out. It turns out she had a
significant blockage in her left anterior descending artery, which is
the main artery that supplies the heart muscle, a ticking
time bomb that she was refusing to check out because
she simply thought she had a dry, nagging cough, when
(06:39):
in fact it was a significant heart issue that she had.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
To Yeah, those dry coughs that linger can be very problematic.
Sometimes it's just a dry cough that lingers.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
She says, she's a vegetarian, avid walker, no past heart
problems or even symptoms. Yeah, but the doctor said a
lot of people overlook subtle and unusual signs like a
persistent CAF.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
So she goes to gotta take.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
Care of You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
The Trump administration has also asked the Supreme Court to
allow to enforce its ban on transgender service members in
the military. This Solicitor General filed this emergency application with
scotis trying to block a nationwide injunction that was issued
by a judge back in Washington State. This is similar
to the policy that was in place in the first term.
(07:30):
It to quote generally disqualifies from military service individuals who
have gendered dysphoria or who have undergone medical interventions for
gender dysphoria. The Harvey Weinstein case is back on. This
is a retrial. He allegedly sexually assaulted a sixteen year
old model inside his Soho apartment and then bragged to
(07:53):
her about helping boost the careers of Gwyneth Paltrow and
Penelope Cruz. This is part of the opening statements that
were heard yesterday. The youngest accuser was identified as the
new witness that is set to confront this guy in
court after his convictions.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Of course, at.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
The height of the Me Too movement, the conviction original
one was tossed on appeal.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Strange science is headed your way. We've got a story
about a bizarre carnivorous bone collector caterpillar discovered in Hawaii.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
We have a chance for you to win one thousand dollars.
Speaker 6 (08:28):

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Again we mentioned this week has been the spot of
take your Child.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
To Work Day, and they call it different things. Some
of them is bring your child, bring your take your
son or daughter to work day. Bring it the official
Department of the Interior of your United States government.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Find some kid and bring it to where you're going.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
All it says is bring a kid to work Day.
So just get one off the street, could be anybody's kid.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Stop at the bus stop, grab a kid.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
They said it's an annual event held on the fourth
Thursday of April, that would be today. So they said
that there is a theme this year. Again this is
from the Department of the Interior. I don't know anybody
who actually pays attention to what Doui.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Says, but the theme.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Wait, hold on, go on, maybe we should guess about
the theme.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
All right, what is the theme you think for take
your kid to Workday Today? For April twenty fourth, twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
My idea would be something like work together or something
stupid like, no, do your job, get paid and that
should be enough. No, don't expect there to be puppies
(10:15):
at work on a bad day. No, is it called
work sucks? It's like people that go to jail and
expect it to be the freaking rits You're going to work.
It's called work for a reason. Is that the theme?
Speaker 6 (10:29):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Is is it called your bad attitude at work is
bad for you and everybody around you? Is that the theme?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Are all hitting way too close to home?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Really, No, it's called why Mommy's on Xanax and why
Daddy has a drinking problem.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
That's also very close enough.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
The theme this.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Year from the Department of Interior is for a new generation,
connecting kids with role models into different fields, gaining experiences
that make their future goal to reatainable and exciting.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Too long to read the Department of Interior. Actually, my
initial idea of working together has.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Resources to help you and your children encourage learning.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Is it how to how to set your boss on fire?
Speaker 4 (11:23):
It's also not just your children, it's the children in
your life. So for example, if I had grand I
could bring a grand kid in here, and then I
have it's a kid.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Sure, right, do you have grandkids I don't know about.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I don't know. I don't think so do you.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Have grandkids you don't know about?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Possibly? Clearly possible.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
You just got real quiet there for a secon.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Now to do the math on that.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It's just funny, like bring kids do work day, Like
I never really thought about it, Like you go home,
you're complaining to like your wife or your your husband,
like God, Peter sucks, Peter's freaking off, like freaking hate.
Peter sucks so bad. I'm sorry of using your dog's name.
But uh, and then you and then it's like take
your kid to work today and you're like, and this
is Peter kids like you suck.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah, my dad says you're.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yes, yeah. My mom says you're a horror. You're a horror.
For John, it was John's his boss, John J Boss
got it.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Yeah, my kids have come in. I would bring my
kids in never during the week. It was when I
was doing the Sunday show.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I saw he brought your chid. You brought your daughter
in during the week. I brought her in here to
see this show. Yeah, but when they were younger. I
don't think my son has set foot in this place.
He was about ten. You can't expose your children to
the handle show, right, which back then, when it was
(12:52):
you know, when it was what well it was, I
don't know. I don't know what I was going to say.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I think I do know what you're going to say.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
What was I going to say?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I don't know it was going to be bad though it.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Wasn't going to be bad. I was just I don't
know if it's more crass back then than it is now.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
But I have noticed that my daughter is very comfortable
speaking in front of people, and I don't know if
that's because she saw me do it, or if that's
a genetic thing or what. My wife is very uncomfortable speaking.
She's great at it, but she is uncomfortable speaking in
front of people.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
I'm wildly uncomfortable speaking in front of people.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Which is weird because we do it every day. Yeah,
I mean, you do it in front of me, and
I do it in front of you. Obviously it'd be different.
I've said this many times before. I'd be different speaking
to a room of ten people than to Dodger Stadium.
Standing on pitchers mound and speaking to Dodger Stadium would
be less intimidating to me than in a room of
(13:59):
ten people.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
This sounds awful to me. It's like one word, you
and I have to do something. Do you notice that
I kind of just like hide behind you like you're
a plant?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
You do say to me, you're the one talking. Yes,
sometimes yes, but it doesn't always end.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Up that way.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
No, No, because I can't shut the hell up, but
I do. It is terrifying, the idea of like standing
up or just even a break.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
But you'll close the deal. Oh my god. All right.
Strange science, including what have.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
We ever played that game dogs?
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Dogs outrank humans when it comes to relationships, and also
why things like palm oil, corn syrup, dextrin blue number one,
yellow number making.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
My stomach urau.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
I just ate all the combination of food additives could
be worse than just one food additive.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
We'll explain.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Is that why we just ate those peanut m and
a We haven't touched them you haven't. No, oh, oh, okay,
you're better than you. Better eat those m and ms.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
I just I didn't need them during the segment, that's all,
but I will probably finish.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, you better.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Live Everywhere on the iHeart Radio app.
Speaker 7 (15:23):
I'm sorry, Shannon, bless you for choosing not to have kids,
but if you were bringing your kids to work that
you guys go from talking global politics and geopolitical strategy
to Darius and underwear naked, naked in underwear seats, even
the road you do, you guys go naked and Harry's
(15:44):
fitos right into everything else. You need a kid around
for that?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Not a good idea.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Do you think that my kid wouldn't hear worse at.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Home that I think is awesome? Come on, funny, come on,
suggest Do.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
You think it's all rainbows and sugar plums at home?
And then I expose them to this show.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Mommy's just gonna have some tea and read quietly on
the counter.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yeah, here's a crumpet right up your butt.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
What are you doing to the kid?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Well, you sit tea that I was thinking crumpets and
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
It's gotta go there.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
What is a crumpet? Is that just a cookie?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I have no idea. I've never had.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
You don't know. I've never known what a crumpet is.
You're not you should know what a crumpet is.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Iheartradios.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Wango Tango, presented by Fiji air Ways, is coming up
on Saturday, May tenth at Huntingson City Beach, which will
be just south of the pier. It will be fantastic, fantastic.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Oh, crumpet's like an English muffin. I like, but thinner
and moister.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Get your tickets now AXS dot com because prices are
going to go up next Friday. Live performances at Wango
Tango from and Mix and David Getta and Gwen Stefani
and Doja Cat make a whole weekend out of the
whole thing as well, because they have hotel packages available
again ax s dot com and get them before prices
go up next Friday.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
M I like crumpets.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
It's time for strange science.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
Strange science.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
It's like weird science, but strange.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Okay. So scientists in Hawaii have discovered a new, extremely
rare species This is the carnivorous bone collecting caterpillar. They
live in one five mile area on a Wahoo. Scientists
there say that after hatching the tiny instinct insects live
(17:42):
almost their entire lives in the web of a single spider,
eating any weakened or recently deceased insects that have been
caught by their host, all while adorned in a grisly
collection of body parts. Daniel Ubanov is a professor an
etymology chair at University of Hawaii, and he says they'll
(18:07):
also find dry bits of excuse me, they'll find bits
of dry bug jerky stuck to the web and eat that.
They're not just meat eating, but they're also cannibals. If
they come across another smaller caterpillar, they will happily consume it.
That's why we never find more than one caterpillar pillar
(18:31):
per web.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
The bone collector caterpillar.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
They're very rare. They make up less than point one
three percent of the moth and butterfly species around the globe.
But they're even rarer still. They've called the species bone collector,
and they're working on publishing a species description that will
include a formal scientific name my goodness.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
I mentioned The Bone Collector, the book written by Jeff
free Dever good book.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
What's that about about War?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
The Bone Collector?
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Yeah, it's about a serial killer, hence the they leave clues.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Denzel Washington, War can also be a bone collector.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Denzel Washington and Angelina Joe Lee were in the movie
which would have been ninety six ninety seven. I don't
think I ever said nine ninety nine is when they
can't see that. Your dog doesn't criticize you. Your dog
rarely starts arguments about politics, probably doesn't hold a grudge,
(19:34):
you know, may not wag its tail when you get home,
but it's still happy to see you. A new study
from Hungarian researcher shows that dog owners experience greater relationship
satisfaction with four legged companions than they do with relatives
than they do with friends. In fact, the only bond
(19:55):
that matches canine relationships when it comes to fulfillment.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
The only bond is parent child bond.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
And even then the caterpillar insect jerky in a.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Web's going to warn heather. Even then that has a
time limit on it. The parent child bond. Scientific Reports
has a study shows the dog owners report receiving more
support from their canine companions than from any human relationship
except their children. That makes sense, and they experience fewer
negative interactions with their dogs compared to most human people.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Are awful, aren't they they are? A new study suggests
food additives might be riskier for health than previously understood. Emulsifiers, dies,
artificial sweeteners all linked to health problem.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Yeah, but the problem is when we've studied them up
to this point, we've studied one at a time. Now
they're starting to do some studies where they combine red
number three with an emulsifier of some kind, because that's
what ultra processed foods usually have.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Is still Smorgus bond.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I was gonna say, aren't most of them, including more
than one die?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
They said that some common combinations of these artificial additives,
the colors, the sweeteners, and multifiers are associated with a
higher risk of type two diabetes beyond what could be
explained by the individual substances alone diabetes. So they say
that when some of these substances are eaten together, their
(21:19):
negative health impacts could be compounded. According to Matilda Tuvier,
a research director National Institute of health and medical research
in France and the studies lead author.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Catchy songs, how they get stuck in your head and
how to stop it. We have the answers when we return.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six fortys.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Dunked in Soseki sauce, which takes away whatever nutritional value
I thought I had in the green bell pepper.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Probably I was just yogurt and some dill and starlak garlic.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Kings are up two games to none over the Oilers
their six two win last night. Game three is tomorrow
night in Edmonton basketball playoffs Clippers and Nuggets. Game three
is tonight at the Into It Dome. Pirates beat the
Angels three nothing. They'll wrap up their series with a
game at about six thirty tonight. I believe Cubs beat
the Dodgers again Yesterday seven is six at Wrigley, so
Dodgers have a day off today, they come home and
(22:19):
they will host the Pirates starting tomorrow. We've talked about
the science of catchy music before. Earworm kind songs that
get stuck in your head for no real good reason.
Science doesn't know exactly what makes it an earworm why
it keeps coming back. For example, they refer to it
(22:41):
in the science world as involuntary musical imagery. You don't
even plan on it, but the song just kind of
pops up in your head. And if you work in
a place that plays music constantly, you're gonna hear something
over and over again.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
That's one that we hear here.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
We used to rotation.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
There's a there's something by the way.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Speech doesn't inherently have the same structure that music does,
for example, but poetry might. And there is one theory
that suggests that simply repeating spoken words make them sound
like music. So here's an example of just spoken words
repeated over and over again that your brain will interpret
as music.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
Sometimes behaves so strangely, sometimes behaves so strangely, sometimes behaves
so strangely like her, sometimes behaves so strangely, sometimes behaves
so strangely. The sounds as they appear to you are
not only different from those that are really present, but
(23:50):
they sometimes behave so strangely as to seem quite impossible understand.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
That's not hard to understand, because she had a certain
cadence to her voice, and the tone changed a little
bit and then when you repeat it like that, it
sounds like music. That's kind of the way our heads
do this. They say that the earworm itself is kind
of a hard thing to pin down, but scientists have
been matching mapping out why some songs are more catchy
(24:21):
than others. For example, I'm gonna give you two different songs.
You tell me which one is more catchy. They say
that what matters most about an earworm is whether the
song is singable, how easy it is to understand. And
to me, the first one was the lyrics were clearer, yes,
And how compelled you are to sing along, even if
(24:44):
it is just in your head.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
And even if the lyrics are inane.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Yeah, well, I mean this is the probably a great example.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
These are brilliant.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Lyrics, I mean, and that's the chorus of that song
is what makes that thing that?
Speaker 1 (25:04):
And the video is so good dancing kids don't know
what video is.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
I feel like we need to break in this song again.
It's not Friday yet, but I'm just a great Can
I pick the song for you too to sing?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Okay, musical, we're going with musical? Right?
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Oh? Right now? Okay, you started this?
Speaker 6 (25:23):
I did.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
I just don't on a limb by Gary?
Speaker 1 (25:27):
What's the what's the song from Aladdin? A whole New world?
Can you guys do a whole new world? I can
show you the world. That's how I started commit to it. Yeah,
you started. You've heard me sing right. People crash their vehicles.
It's awful. It's like a freaking disease, pet dying, a
(25:51):
slow death in a corner.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
How awful?
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Exactly?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
I can show you the world?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yeah, ready, you don't know how it goes?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Shimmering splene, I need.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Just sing it. Do you want me to do? You
want me to get the music up?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Tell me Shatner princess.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Now you guys sing it?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
When did you least let your heart to say?
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Sorry?
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I got that way too into it.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
This is going to be your probo for tomorrow, Gary
and Shannon of the world.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
You see the look on his face. You ruined it.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
This was my favorite, though.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
They said that most of the time people find earworm's
pleasant or at least neutral. Outside of the baby shark thing.
People in Britain often sing God Save the Queen or now,
of course, God Save the King, which can take their
minds off of ear worm infestation because it is so
boring that it will replace anything that it is that
(26:45):
you had stuck in your head before.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Wait, why did I think it was the punk version
of God saying? When I first read that, I thought
that too, and I was like, that's an interesting choice.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
I think in America that's by far more popular. I mean, granted,
the melody is the same as My Country Tis of Thee,
but I think people when you say God Save the Queen,
they think of the punk vers.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
It's my genic's mind that went immediately to like the
punk version of it.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Oh my gosh. Speaking of music, each draft prospect selected
a walkout song for the draft tonight. I tell you
what they are, but I don't know any of them.
In the top was this Top thirteen, Top fifteen guys.
I don't know any of these songs.
Speaker 2 (27:36):

Two seasons, the rest of it, Yeah, Downhill.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
It was really you're all in on that show. The
first one. It's pretty good. First season, it's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Amazing. Got a little weird. There was always a little weird.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I went to my first I went tost Okay game
and I saw Shannon down there and I was messaging
her and I didn't really know how to use the app,
and she asked me if I was by the easy
and I didn't know what an easy is It took
me about a week to figure it out. Anyway, that's
(01:20):
funny time, and by then it's too late to say, yes,
that's funny.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
What else is going on? Time for what's happening?
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Well, a bunch of stories going on Internationally. President Trump
says he's not happy with Russian President Vladimir Putin. We
know that there were some talks to some degree this
week in London about a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia.
And as they've made progress, Russia then launched its deadliest
wave of attacks against Kiev in nine months, several hundred
(01:56):
missiles and drones that were fired in the direction at
lee least twelve deaths in Kiev, dozens and dozens of
people injured. In a truth social post this morning, Trump wrote,
I am not happy with the Russian strikes on Kiev.
Not necessary and very bad timing. Vladimir stop. Five thousand
soldiers a week are dying. Let's get the piece deal done.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
We are following this police activity in Miami day. It's
a warehouse area? Is this separate? Sorry? I have no internet,
so I A you're right scrambling It was okay? So
this was the one warehouse area near a car dealer
there in Miami Dade. Of course, the police presence, fire
(02:40):
presence still quite heavy there. They believe that a shooter
shot himself after shooting several other people. It's an area
called Glen Var Heights if you are familiar.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
One of the witnesses told a TV station in Florida's
he saw the shooter take out a handgun and afle
and fire shots at law enforcement and then ran inside
their warehouse.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
It was take your child to work day, you know.
My husband said yesterday was take your kid to work
day at his place of employment. And I thought, how
come we don't do that around here. I don't see
any kids around here.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I don't want to encourage kids to do this in
their future.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Don't you think it's important for kids to know what
their parents do. I loved that. I loved going to
the school where my dad taught at so I could
see like it was so cool, like he was a superhero.
I wish i'd know that.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I would have brought my daughter.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
She thinks what we do is really cool. I would
have loved to meet your daughter.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
She thinks everybody here is really cool, and like, well,
then maybe.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Then we keep her away from us. We keep her
away so that we keep that level of coolness.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Bottle that heather, because there will be a time in
a couple of years where she's just like, ugh, I'm
really nervous.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Eleven I adored my mother and then twelve year old
I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Another story that's going on right now at Langley air
Force Base, National Transportation Safety Boards at an aircraft has
crashed there and that the NTSB is and root. They
of course are close, so it's not going to take
them a very long time to get there. But a
phone call a press contact at Langley Air Force said
that first responders are on the scene, safety and security
(04:26):
of personnel is still a priority and they're still under investigation.
They said the plane is likely a high performance single
seat aerobatic aircraft designed primarily for air shows and competitive aerobatics.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Sorry, still struggling over here.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Jack in the Blox has announced the somewhere between one
hundred and fifty and two hundred underperforming stores part of
an aggressive financial plan that they are calling Jack on Track,
CEO of Jack and the Box Catchy.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
That's reminded me of something I heard earlier.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I said in a statement.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
The fast food chain known for Jumbo the Jumbo Yak,
and they're sarcastic. Jack in the box mascot is accelerating
cash flow and paying down debt.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I have an awful story to share. Maybe I shouldn't
share it.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Is it to require music?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
No, it's really bad. Twin brothers, high school students, both
drowned during a fishing outing in Mississippi. Wow, not awful.
Eighteen years old, Cameron and Jamerian.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I have a better story than that's good.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
That's good? Could you imagine? I mean, it's a family tragedy,
it's a school tragedy. It's a community. That is the
stuff that you never books are written about. That kind
of stuff like that is insane for a small town,
especially to get their head around.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Constance Meyer of Beverly Hills violin teacher to some very
rich and happy people. But she would cough a lot,
and her students noticed it. The parents of some of
the students noticed it. Finally, when she seventy two year
old virtuoso concert violinist, when she coughed in front of
(06:16):
a UCLA cardiologist. The UCLA cardiologist said, you want to
get that checked out. It turns out she had a
significant blockage in her left anterior descending artery, which is
the main artery that supplies the heart muscle, a ticking
time bomb that she was refusing to check out because
she simply thought she had a dry, nagging cough, when
(06:39):
in fact it was a significant heart issue that she had.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
To Yeah, those dry coughs that linger can be very problematic.
Sometimes it's just a dry cough that lingers.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
She says, she's a vegetarian, avid walker, no past heart
problems or even symptoms. Yeah, but the doctor said a
lot of people overlook subtle and unusual signs like a
persistent CAF.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
So she goes to gotta take.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
Care of You're listening to Gary and Shannon on Demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
The Trump administration has also asked the Supreme Court to
allow to enforce its ban on transgender service members in
the military. This Solicitor General filed this emergency application with
scotis trying to block a nationwide injunction that was issued
by a judge back in Washington State. This is similar
to the policy that was in place in the first term.
(07:30):
It to quote generally disqualifies from military service individuals who
have gendered dysphoria or who have undergone medical interventions for
gender dysphoria. The Harvey Weinstein case is back on. This
is a retrial. He allegedly sexually assaulted a sixteen year
old model inside his Soho apartment and then bragged to
(07:53):
her about helping boost the careers of Gwyneth Paltrow and
Penelope Cruz. This is part of the opening statements that
were heard yesterday. The youngest accuser was identified as the
new witness that is set to confront this guy in
court after his convictions.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Of course, at.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
The height of the Me Too movement, the conviction original
one was tossed on appeal.

Again we mentioned this week has been the spot of
take your Child.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
To Work Day, and they call it different things. Some
of them is bring your child, bring your take your
son or daughter to work day. Bring it the official
Department of the Interior of your United States government.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Find some kid and bring it to where you're going.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
All it says is bring a kid to work Day.
So just get one off the street, could be anybody's kid.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Stop at the bus stop, grab a kid.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
They said it's an annual event held on the fourth
Thursday of April, that would be today. So they said
that there is a theme this year. Again this is
from the Department of the Interior. I don't know anybody
who actually pays attention to what Doui.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Says, but the theme.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Wait, hold on, go on, maybe we should guess about
the theme.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
All right, what is the theme you think for take
your kid to Workday Today? For April twenty fourth, twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
My idea would be something like work together or something
stupid like, no, do your job, get paid and that
should be enough. No, don't expect there to be puppies
(10:15):
at work on a bad day. No, is it called
work sucks? It's like people that go to jail and
expect it to be the freaking rits You're going to work.
It's called work for a reason. Is that the theme?
Speaker 6 (10:29):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Is is it called your bad attitude at work is
bad for you and everybody around you? Is that the theme?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Are all hitting way too close to home?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Really, No, it's called why Mommy's on Xanax and why
Daddy has a drinking problem.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
That's also very close enough.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
The theme this.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Year from the Department of Interior is for a new generation,
connecting kids with role models into different fields, gaining experiences
that make their future goal to reatainable and exciting.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Too long to read the Department of Interior. Actually, my
initial idea of working together has.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Resources to help you and your children encourage learning.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Is it how to how to set your boss on fire?
Speaker 4 (11:23):
It's also not just your children, it's the children in
your life. So for example, if I had grand I
could bring a grand kid in here, and then I
have it's a kid.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Sure, right, do you have grandkids I don't know about.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I don't know. I don't think so do you.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Have grandkids you don't know about?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Possibly? Clearly possible.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
You just got real quiet there for a secon.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Now to do the math on that.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It's just funny, like bring kids do work day, Like
I never really thought about it, Like you go home,
you're complaining to like your wife or your your husband,
like God, Peter sucks, Peter's freaking off, like freaking hate.
Peter sucks so bad. I'm sorry of using your dog's name.
But uh, and then you and then it's like take
your kid to work today and you're like, and this
is Peter kids like you suck.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah, my dad says you're.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yes, yeah. My mom says you're a horror. You're a horror.
For John, it was John's his boss, John J Boss
got it.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Yeah, my kids have come in. I would bring my
kids in never during the week. It was when I
was doing the Sunday show.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I saw he brought your chid. You brought your daughter
in during the week. I brought her in here to
see this show. Yeah, but when they were younger. I
don't think my son has set foot in this place.
He was about ten. You can't expose your children to
the handle show, right, which back then, when it was
(12:52):
you know, when it was what well it was, I
don't know. I don't know what I was going to say.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I think I do know what you're going to say.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
What was I going to say?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I don't know it was going to be bad though it.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Wasn't going to be bad. I was just I don't
know if it's more crass back then than it is now.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
But I have noticed that my daughter is very comfortable
speaking in front of people, and I don't know if
that's because she saw me do it, or if that's
a genetic thing or what. My wife is very uncomfortable speaking.
She's great at it, but she is uncomfortable speaking in
front of people.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
I'm wildly uncomfortable speaking in front of people.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Which is weird because we do it every day. Yeah,
I mean, you do it in front of me, and
I do it in front of you. Obviously it'd be different.
I've said this many times before. I'd be different speaking
to a room of ten people than to Dodger Stadium.
Standing on pitchers mound and speaking to Dodger Stadium would
be less intimidating to me than in a room of
(13:59):
ten people.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
This sounds awful to me. It's like one word, you
and I have to do something. Do you notice that
I kind of just like hide behind you like you're
a plant?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
You do say to me, you're the one talking. Yes,
sometimes yes, but it doesn't always end.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Up that way.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
No, No, because I can't shut the hell up, but
I do. It is terrifying, the idea of like standing
up or just even a break.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
But you'll close the deal. Oh my god. All right.
Strange science, including what have.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
We ever played that game dogs?
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Dogs outrank humans when it comes to relationships, and also
why things like palm oil, corn syrup, dextrin blue number one,
yellow number making.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
My stomach urau.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
I just ate all the combination of food additives could
be worse than just one food additive.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
We'll explain.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Is that why we just ate those peanut m and
a We haven't touched them you haven't. No, oh, oh, okay,
you're better than you. Better eat those m and ms.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
I just I didn't need them during the segment, that's all,
but I will probably finish.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Yeah, you better.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
Live Everywhere on the iHeart Radio app.
Speaker 7 (15:23):
I'm sorry, Shannon, bless you for choosing not to have kids,
but if you were bringing your kids to work that
you guys go from talking global politics and geopolitical strategy
to Darius and underwear naked, naked in underwear seats, even
the road you do, you guys go naked and Harry's
(15:44):
fitos right into everything else. You need a kid around
for that?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Not a good idea.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Do you think that my kid wouldn't hear worse at.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Home that I think is awesome? Come on, funny, come on,
suggest Do.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
You think it's all rainbows and sugar plums at home?
And then I expose them to this show.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Mommy's just gonna have some tea and read quietly on
the counter.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yeah, here's a crumpet right up your butt.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
What are you doing to the kid?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Well, you sit tea that I was thinking crumpets and
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
It's gotta go there.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
What is a crumpet? Is that just a cookie?
Speaker 2 (16:18):
I have no idea. I've never had.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
You don't know. I've never known what a crumpet is.
You're not you should know what a crumpet is.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Iheartradios.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Wango Tango, presented by Fiji air Ways, is coming up
on Saturday, May tenth at Huntingson City Beach, which will
be just south of the pier. It will be fantastic, fantastic.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Oh, crumpet's like an English muffin. I like, but thinner
and moister.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Get your tickets now AXS dot com because prices are

again ax s dot com and get them before prices
go up next Friday.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
M I like crumpets.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
It's time for strange science.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
Strange science.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
It's like weird science, but strange.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Okay. So scientists in Hawaii have discovered a new, extremely
rare species This is the carnivorous bone collecting caterpillar. They
live in one five mile area on a Wahoo. Scientists
there say that after hatching the tiny instinct insects live
(17:42):
almost their entire lives in the web of a single spider,
eating any weakened or recently deceased insects that have been
caught by their host, all while adorned in a grisly
collection of body parts. Daniel Ubanov is a professor an
etymology chair at University of Hawaii, and he says they'll
(18:07):
also find dry bits of excuse me, they'll find bits
of dry bug jerky stuck to the web and eat that.
They're not just meat eating, but they're also cannibals. If
they come across another smaller caterpillar, they will happily consume it.
That's why we never find more than one caterpillar pillar
(18:31):
per web.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
The bone collector caterpillar.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
They're very rare. They make up less than point one
three percent of the moth and butterfly species around the globe.
But they're even rarer still. They've called the species bone collector,
and they're working on publishing a species description that will
include a formal scientific name my goodness.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
I mentioned The Bone Collector, the book written by Jeff
free Dever good book.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
What's that about about War?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
The Bone Collector?
Speaker 4 (19:04):
Yeah, it's about a serial killer, hence the they leave clues.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Denzel Washington, War can also be a bone collector.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Denzel Washington and Angelina Joe Lee were in the movie
which would have been ninety six ninety seven. I don't
think I ever said nine ninety nine is when they
can't see that. Your dog doesn't criticize you. Your dog
rarely starts arguments about politics, probably doesn't hold a grudge,
(19:34):
you know, may not wag its tail when you get home,
but it's still happy to see you. A new study
from Hungarian researcher shows that dog owners experience greater relationship
satisfaction with four legged companions than they do with relatives
than they do with friends. In fact, the only bond
(19:55):
that matches canine relationships when it comes to fulfillment.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
The only bond is parent child bond.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
And even then the caterpillar insect jerky in a.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
Web's going to warn heather. Even then that has a
time limit on it. The parent child bond. Scientific Reports
has a study shows the dog owners report receiving more
support from their canine companions than from any human relationship
except their children. That makes sense, and they experience fewer
negative interactions with their dogs compared to most human people.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Are awful, aren't they they are? A new study suggests
food additives might be riskier for health than previously understood. Emulsifiers, dies,
artificial sweeteners all linked to health problem.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Yeah, but the problem is when we've studied them up
to this point, we've studied one at a time. Now
they're starting to do some studies where they combine red
number three with an emulsifier of some kind, because that's
what ultra processed foods usually have.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Is still Smorgus bond.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I was gonna say, aren't most of them, including more
than one die?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
They said that some common combinations of these artificial additives,
the colors, the sweeteners, and multifiers are associated with a
higher risk of type two diabetes beyond what could be
explained by the individual substances alone diabetes. So they say
that when some of these substances are eaten together, their
(21:19):
negative health impacts could be compounded. According to Matilda Tuvier,
a research director National Institute of health and medical research
in France and the studies lead author.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Catchy songs, how they get stuck in your head and
how to stop it. We have the answers when we return.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six fortys.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Dunked in Soseki sauce, which takes away whatever nutritional value
I thought I had in the green bell pepper.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Probably I was just yogurt and some dill and starlak garlic.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Kings are up two games to none over the Oilers
their six two win last night. Game three is tomorrow
night in Edmonton basketball playoffs Clippers and Nuggets. Game three
is tonight at the Into It Dome. Pirates beat the
Angels three nothing. They'll wrap up their series with a
game at about six thirty tonight. I believe Cubs beat
the Dodgers again Yesterday seven is six at Wrigley, so
Dodgers have a day off today, they come home and
(22:19):
they will host the Pirates starting tomorrow. We've talked about
the science of catchy music before. Earworm kind songs that
get stuck in your head for no real good reason.
Science doesn't know exactly what makes it an earworm why
it keeps coming back. For example, they refer to it
(22:41):
in the science world as involuntary musical imagery. You don't
even plan on it, but the song just kind of
pops up in your head. And if you work in
a place that plays music constantly, you're gonna hear something
over and over again.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
That's one that we hear here.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
We used to rotation.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
There's a there's something by the way.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Speech doesn't inherently have the same structure that music does,
for example, but poetry might. And there is one theory
that suggests that simply repeating spoken words make them sound
like music. So here's an example of just spoken words
repeated over and over again that your brain will interpret
as music.
Speaker 8 (23:30):
Sometimes behaves so strangely, sometimes behaves so strangely, sometimes behaves
so strangely like her, sometimes behaves so strangely, sometimes behaves
so strangely. The sounds as they appear to you are
not only different from those that are really present, but
(23:50):
they sometimes behave so strangely as to seem quite impossible understand.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
That's not hard to understand, because she had a certain
cadence to her voice, and the tone changed a little
bit and then when you repeat it like that, it
sounds like music. That's kind of the way our heads
do this. They say that the earworm itself is kind
of a hard thing to pin down, but scientists have
been matching mapping out why some songs are more catchy
(24:21):
than others. For example, I'm gonna give you two different songs.
You tell me which one is more catchy. They say
that what matters most about an earworm is whether the
song is singable, how easy it is to understand. And
to me, the first one was the lyrics were clearer, yes,
And how compelled you are to sing along, even if
(24:44):
it is just in your head.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
And even if the lyrics are inane.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Yeah, well, I mean this is the probably a great example.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
These are brilliant.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Lyrics, I mean, and that's the chorus of that song
is what makes that thing that?
Speaker 1 (25:04):
And the video is so good dancing kids don't know
what video is.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
I feel like we need to break in this song again.
It's not Friday yet, but I'm just a great Can
I pick the song for you too to sing?
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Okay, musical, we're going with musical? Right?
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Oh? Right now? Okay, you started this?
Speaker 6 (25:23):
I did.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
I just don't on a limb by Gary?
Speaker 1 (25:27):
What's the what's the song from Aladdin? A whole New world?
Can you guys do a whole new world? I can
show you the world. That's how I started commit to it. Yeah,
you started. You've heard me sing right. People crash their vehicles.
It's awful. It's like a freaking disease, pet dying, a
(25:51):
slow death in a corner.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
How awful?
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Exactly?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
I can show you the world?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yeah, ready, you don't know how it goes?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Shimmering splene, I need.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Just sing it. Do you want me to do? You
want me to get the music up?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Tell me Shatner princess.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Now you guys sing it?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
When did you least let your heart to say?
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Sorry?
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I got that way too into it.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
This is going to be your probo for tomorrow, Gary
and Shannon of the world.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
You see the look on his face. You ruined it.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
This was my favorite, though.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
They said that most of the time people find earworm's
pleasant or at least neutral. Outside of the baby shark thing.
People in Britain often sing God Save the Queen or now,
of course, God Save the King, which can take their
minds off of ear worm infestation because it is so
boring that it will replace anything that it is that
(26:45):
you had stuck in your head before.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Wait, why did I think it was the punk version
of God saying? When I first read that, I thought
that too, and I was like, that's an interesting choice.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
I think in America that's by far more popular. I mean, granted,
the melody is the same as My Country Tis of Thee,
but I think people when you say God Save the Queen,
they think of the punk vers.
Speaker 5 (27:10):
It's my genic's mind that went immediately to like the
punk version of it.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Oh my gosh. Speaking of music, each draft prospect selected
a walkout song for the draft tonight. I tell you
what they are, but I don't know any of them.
In the top was this Top thirteen, Top fifteen guys.
I don't know any of these songs.
