This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI AM six forty, The Gary and Shannon Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.

It's time for Strange Science.

It's like weird science, but strange.

Well, we've known that there are potential disasters lurking in the skies above us.

Right now, there is a Chinese space crew stranded at their space station because of some sort of pieces of space debris that blew into their capsule.

This is a three member team.

They were scheduled to return to Earth today, but their mission has been extended as engineers conduct impact analysis and risk assessments on the damaged spacecraft.

Is that right?

Is that what they're doing?

Or are they their spine?

Oh?

I'm pretty sure.

How do you know?

I don't for certain, but maybe I'm being paid by the Chinese?

Are they just hovering over America?

The crew's return capsules believed to have been hit by tiny fragments of space junk they say that have been increasingly hazardous in low Earth orbit.

The Chinese Space Organization did not specify the extent of the damage, or even what repairs would be possible or were required if it cannot be repaired.

The protocol states that the shen Zoo twenty crew would use the shen Zoo twenty one team capsule to return to Earth.

They regularly send crews of three Chinese astronauts two and from this space station for six months missions.

The Shenzu twenty astronauts did arrive in April.

They were nearing the end of the mission when this thing occurred.

Their replacements already docked with the station, so there are others up there.

But the return craft that they were supposed to take down may have giant gaping holes in it.

Parts three eye atlas are missing.

What we better get this straight.

This is important.

I wanted you to play the thing which part parts of three eye atlas are missing?

No again, no, no, not much No, watch that smell damn No.

I don't know which one you want me.

To play, like the mystery, like where is the.

No this one?

Yeah, we have an alien spacecraft that was right next to the sun, blocked our view of it using the sun, and now is much smaller, And you don't think that's suspicious.

Where did the rest of it go?

We'll find out in strange science.

We're in the middle of straight science.

Before we get to three I Atlas, did you know why do you know why we sleep through the night now?

As oppose you say now, as opposed to when?

For most of human history, Oh, continuous eight hour sleep was not a thing.

We sleep through the night now because of stuff in our foods.

Possibly each of the sleeps the first sleep, in second sleep.

That's the way we used to do.

It would last several hours, separated by a gap of wakefulness for an hour or more in the middle of the night.

Historical records we know from all over the world, Africa, Asia, Europe describe how after nightfall, families would go to bed and then wake up about midnight for a bit and then go back to sleep until dawn.

Huh.

My brother in law used to do this, really, he used to, Well, he would, he would fall asleep, and they'd get up in the middle of the night and eat something and then go back to bed.

Breaking the night into two parts probably changed how time felt.

And they said the quiet interval gave nights a clear middle, which could make long winter evenings feel less continuous and a little bit easier to manage.

That midnight interval was not dead time.

Some people would get up they'd tend to chores like stirring the fire, checking on the animals or something like that.

You used to do this on cruise ships.

You'd have your dinner at you know, the five or seven sitting, you would go to bed, and then you'd wake up for the midnight buffet and you hit that thing one more time sounds off, and then you go back to sleep and get up.

And man, I just added four and a half pounds.

You just say, artificial lighting is one of the reasons why we now sleep through the night because you could stay up later.

Okay, yeah, that makes sense.

You didn't have to go to bed when the sun went has.

Everybody want wanted to go to bed at like six pm?

Like I have this week?

Are you going to tell me the the time changes really now to.

Effect the darkness gets me ready for bed?

Yes, Like it's like it's.

Biological, you know, it's just like, okay, it's time for sleep time.

And so now the darkness hits, you know, on my way home from work here about one thirty pm.

Not really, but you know what I mean.

And I'm suddenly I'm like, oh, I'm gonna get into bed, you know, and my husband's like it's six thirty, Like, what are you talking about?

Factory schedules encouraged a single block of rest.

By the early twentieth century, the idea of eight interrupted hours had replaced the centuries old rhythm of too sleep, and they said that in multi week sleep studies that simulate long winter nights in darkness and remove clocks or evening light, people often end up adopting the two sleeps with a calm waking interval in the middle of it.

AI has worked its way into the animal kingdom and it could mean disaster for us and our animal friends.

There has been a plethora of AI narrated animal slop that has proliferated social media, and the problem with the AI animal Kingdom stuff is that it's phony.

They reflect these videos characteristics, behaviors, habits, or relationships between species.

That are not real.

In one uber viral clip hundreds of millions of views on this thing, a gang of rabbits can be seen jumping on a trampoline in tandem.

The static background and the fact that some of the balancing bunnies disappear mid hop or dead giveaways that the clip is slop.

These are ridiculous.

And they show us animals with human behaviors that are far from reality.

They also lead you to believe, probably that you can take a bunch of bunnies and make them hop on a trampoline, or that if you do that, the bunnies will be chill about it and they won't eat your face.

Bunnies don't often eat your face.

To me, messing with the animal kingdom with AI is just a form of Darwinism.

If you believe in the video on your phone that shows you can go hug the bear in your backyard and you try it, that's on you for being a dumb ass.

If you can, and you should with the bear, it should be.

The end of the line right there, then of the line, sir, so, just to wrap up this whole three I at list thing.

We don't know where the rest of it is, and it could be here.

They could be here, they could be walking amongst us.

Here's the wet we're dumb because we're looking at animal AI videos.

The part that is that has freaked me out the most in the last forty eight hours is that it has changed course slightly, undergoing what they say is non gravitational acceleration or acceleration that cannot be accounted for by gravity alone.

And we're those Chinese astronomers.

Ut, huh, what are they doing over there?

They're going to catch a whole plate full of three eye at lists right in the shops.

What if they're in cahoots with them?

Get it straight?

But what if the Aliens came by and they're like, you know what, these Chinese people, they seem to have it all together, and then they're now they're collaborating.

It's only matter of time anyway, isn't it till what till they take over the Chinese?

No, the Aliens, with the help Chinese.

Has already taken over.

Look at TikTok.

It's great facts.

You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM six forty.

Apparently, San Francisco has long been a haven for dog lovers, and now people are saying that there are some taking advantage of the situation, exploiting the city's tolerance.

That paws are up on the counters of coffee shops and no one flinches.

Croissants are being stolen out of the hands of hungry diners by hungry or black labs.

The aisles of Target and Trader Joe's are full of service animals, service animals.

How San Francisco is this Like you can shoot up on battery and nobody looks, but you steal a Cryssan.

Your dog steals her croissant at the overpriced coffee shop, and oh, throw the book at them.

Chandra moved to San Francisco in part of in part because of how much San Francisco was known for loving dogs.

She's a biotech worker.

She's the owner of Clementine, a docs and with sixty four thousand Instagram followers, My dog does not have that many Instagram followers.

I feel like, she says, she takes Clementine everywhere she's permitted, restaurant's, clothing, boutiques.

I kind of feel like, and I don't know, because I'm not a dog owner, but you kind of got to follow the rule of just because you can, doesn't mean you should take your dog to every single place.

I mean, I remember we were at a restaurant.

I don't remember where we were, but there was a dog.

It was a like a nice restaurant, and there was a dog just perched on the seat at the table next to us, just sitting there.

Were you was the dog weod doing anything making noise, causing problems.

No, but you pay a certain amount of money to go out and have a nice meal.

You don't want to be eating, you know, with somebody else's dog right there.

You're constantly wearing, is a dog going to jump up and eat my prime rib?

Like?

What's going to happen here?

Not that I would do that.

I don't order prime rey, Wow, I don't.

But it was kind of like that kind of a place like house, the prime rib type of a place, and there's a dog sitting there, and it's like, it's just it's uncivilized.

Frankly, I eat dog.

I eat dogs.

Sorry, I'm in the need that isolated.

I eat dog.

I eat almost every day with a dog in the room.

Yes, but if you were paying to go to a meal with your wife, would you want to eat with someone else's dog at your lap level?

I do suppose.

I do suppose that there are two things that would play into that.

Number One, it's not your own dog lap level.

I don't need.

I don't need the dog up on the chair right.

It's one thing if the dog's at someone's feet and it's a helper dog or whatever.

Yeah, but sitting at the table on.

A chair, Come on, listen, and I'll say this.

I love the idea of taking my dog places like I'll take my dog to home depot or Low's or something like that, because there's plenty of space.

He's even if I do see another dog in the store or something like that, there's plenty of opportunity for me to go the other way.

And there's no you know, there's no tangling between the dogs.

But if you have a dog that's not very well behaved, or you're not certain of how that dog would behave, you got to be really careful about where you take that thing because it's not just you and whatever comfort or you want to show off your dog.

I get all that, but you better be careful about what you do with that dog.

Let me ask you this.

I saw in the a is out in Palm Springs and we're at a hotel having dinner, and there is a couple.

I want to say they were maybe thirty years old, a good looking couple in at leisure where fit looked like they had just been out for a run maybe and that's why.

But they had a dog in a stroller.

Now, the stroller probably costs more than well, certainly the strollers that we were put in as a youth that were all hand me downs and probably had no safety standards.

But this stroller looked like it went for the cost of a Maserati like it was.

You can tell a nice stroller when you see one.

And inside was a dog, and I'm thinking, maybe this dog has two legs, Maybe this dog's got three legs, Maybe this dog's an issue.

They take the dog out of the stroller, the dog runs around, It's a small dog, it's got all the legs, and then it hops back in its.

Stroller and off they go.

I understand a stroller for a dog if it's somebody who needs a new hip that has a dog, or the dog needs a new hip.

But where do you come down on people putting their dogs in high end strollers just because.

Well, I will say this, it sounds like those people are very active and sometimes small dogs cannot keep up.

With right, So maybe they had just gone for a run.

Yeah, hey, maybe you get a different dog if that's your lifestyle and that's what you're going to do, and you're going to run five miles a day and you want your dog to run with.

You get a dog that will do that, don't buy one that has to be in a stroller with you that I can't with stroller.

So it didn't seem like they had been for a run.

I mean, it was the heat of the day in Palm Springs.

I think that they just use that stroller all the time with that dog.

It's not the first time I've seen people with the stroller on the dog.

Dogs are generally lazy.

We think of them as they lay around all the time, but dogs need physical action.

They love it.

We lay around all the time if we could, but our bodies actually like to move.

Well, speak for yourself mine.

Is that why it's fighting back?

The body's fighting.

You are all buttoned up today, you're keeping the whole.

I'm cold.

It is so flipping cold in here all the time.

I wore a shirt yesterday, but I didn't wear a jacket or a sweatshirt over the top of it.

I was cold all day, all day.

Yeah, you should leave a jacket in the office.

I've got a couple in there you could wear all thank you.

I have that Pink Ladies one from Halloween a couple of years ago.

You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM six forty.

Hello, how are you?

This is such a truney how you my gosh, it's so exciting.

Okay, Oh we are such big fans.

Just letting you know, huge fans, huge, huge, big fan you just saying that.

All right, So this this will be about what ten minutes you know.

You're on a tights cat.

I'll get you out.

We will jump right in.

Leanne, let's start with that.

Let's start with the basics.

What are your plans for Thanksgiving?

Honey?

Everybody in the world coming to my house, all my extended family and my kids, friends that don't have anywhere to go.

And I'm already studying about I think I'm gonna do a brisket.

I'm gonna do a ham.

I'll Chuck Morton gets a ham from his work every year, and he's determined for U sate that ham.

Well, then I'm gonna I've gotta have turkey.

We all have to have turkey.

And then yeah, I got a brisket on my mind, y'all.

I'll have everybody at my house and my grand babies and all land.

It's nice to have a Thanksgiving where you have the island of misfit toys because it makes for good stories around the table.

I know, and not everybody can eat poork, and so that mixes it up.

For us Southern people, we like plant, you know, if every body likes to come and from different cultures and different ethnicities, We've all of a sudden got all these precious young people that come and sign with us, and we love it and anti overdo.

I like to overdo.

I do like that.

You also have the four Southern food groups represented with the ham, the brisket, the turkey, and then something creamy problem.

Me mac and shee Yeah, mac and cheese, A lot of creamy, a lot of creamy, a lot of yellow y'all.

There will be a lot of cas roles, and there will be mac and cheese, yes, and all kinds of potatoes in different ways.

Yes, advance of it.

We first fell in love, well, I first fell in love with Leanne Morgan in twenty twenty three with her special on Netflix, I'm every Woman.

And then this week a new special, What a Treat Unspeakable Things, premiered on Netflix November fourth, and I learned that I love you even more because I've learned Leanne, that you and I, without spoiling it, have the same fallback plan when it comes to a career in the form of a strip club.

And that's all I'll say.

Well, and the one I went to, Yeah, no, that's the first.

That's the first strip club I've ever been to.

When I first went to Atlanta about thirteen years ago, one of my girlfriends from there, I've got to take you to this place, just like.

You said in your special.

And I walked in.

And oh, holy hell, oh my lord, it is dump I've never seen before.

And I know there was a serial killer that not there another one.

I looked into his dad eyes and I don't think I'll ever go back.

But I hear of Painble saying all the time, Oh Goldie Hawn goes every time she goes into townl I'm thinking, what go?

And you want to go into play ion Leah.

And you mentioned that you spent some time here in southern California.

Obviously you did the Netflix sitcom Leanne, which we also loved.

It was fantastic, can't wait for the second season come out.

But what when you spent time here in southern California.

I mean it was an extended, extended period of time.

You talked very lovingly about some of the places that you visited.

Are you coming back?

Are you going to get a house out here?

Are you going to spend half your time here?

Is it enough to draw you back?

Oh you don't.

I'm getting it.

I'm gonna get to do a second season.

So I'll rent a house January through eightful and I am thrilled over it.

And I mean, I've always loved California and been mesmerized by it, but living there, I mean, I don't mean to sound safety, but I just the people are precious.

Everybody was wonderful to me.

It is I think it's one of the prettiest state in the Union.

It is stunning.

I had a bowl.

I cannot wait to go back.

Now.

Chuck Morgan will come in and out and you know, try to grab my brands while I'm trying to learn line.

Oh my goodness, means he loves you.

I say that to my wife all the time.

Listen, you'd rather me do.

That than not, right, I guess so.

I guess so, my darling.

But I heard that you're an actor too.

Oh that's an anchor.

That's quite a stretch.

I do community theater.

A couple of times.

I've done that, but I don't know about it.

I don't know if i'd put that on my resume.

Okay, well, let me tell you that when I had my I had four deals for sitcoms before this one made it because I've been doing standing up for twenty five years and one of them was with Matt Williams that created Rosanne and Home Improvement.

And do you remember that wonderful actress that played the wife on Home Improvement?

Sure?

Yes, they got her from community theater.

Oh my goodness, Garrett, you'll know it.

I didn't know that.

But if you need I'm available.

I mean every day after one pm.

That's don't don't text me.

I'll get audition walck cycle pretty quickly.

Okay, Well, do you all have to get up at three o'clock in the morning and be on the radio and then you get.

Off of one Well, we get up at about eight forty five.

That's law.

It's that it's not a real job, Leanne, it's not a real job.

Okay, Okay, Leah and Morgan, you've got to check this out.

I mean, I bet you hear this all the time.

But you have this quality about you as a person where I just feel like I know you right away.

And it's so refreshing to see someone on TV the who's such an open book, who's so warm, and you feel like you're spending time with a girlfriend or a relative that you actually enjoy, And it's just refreshing to actually feel like you know someone, to know that that's who exactly that person is.

Well, thank you, my darling.

And I get that a lot.

And I tell you, y'all, I think I know that.

I got that from my mom, Alosle and she's eighty two and she goes to the Senior Says's twice a week and everybody wants to be her partner because she is an unbelievable card player and she's very popular.

But she's always been sweet and kind and funny, and I think and likable.

And I've got a lot of flaws, y'all.

I can't do math.

And if y'all saw my dance, y'all would say, oh, my lord, is she okay?

I'm very unorganized.

Chuck Morgan stays mad at me over it, but I'm not a buck.

And I got that from low Seale I and I do I feel like I can make friends easy?

And I really and truly love people, and I honestly, and I know this sounds sappy, y'all, but when I'm on tour, I look out in that audience and I think I'd be best friends day woman.

I would go to jazz or science.

Honey, we would go and eat lunch for four hours.

We would have a ball.

I do I feel that way about these sweet fans and now I love honey.

Their husbands are coming and I love that because I loved men since I was in kindergarten.

I would be ashamed if I didn't ask this question.

But I'm also ashamed a little bit for asking this question.

The dress you wore and I'm every woman, where did that end up?

I got it, my darling.

I think I think somebody with some sense got it?

Drinking?

Are you trying to be weird?

Gary?

And offered to buy it?

Is that what I'm hearing?

I love that dress, and I don't say that to anything that.

Grand Okay, Gary, do you what do you to make you think of?

Though?

After I wore it, I thought, oh my gosh, that's the afghan on Roseanne's count loved it I.

Thought it was, like, gosh, it is I mean, it was beautiful on you.

You look beautiful, beautiful and anything.

But I never made a connection with the black and the and the Oh my god, not.

A neater came out and I thought, wait a minute, that's an amp dan that everybody's grandmother had, and Roseanne had it hanging over her couch in that liver room.

And then I thought my brains were too fat.

No, no, I was going to actually part of you wholeheartedly.

I thought they were both going in the same direction, and they looked beautiful.

Oh thank you.

It's worried made of unspeakable things.

On Netflix.

You can also check out I'm every Woman on Netflix, uh, the LeeAnne Morgan so yell Me on YouTube, and of course the second season of Leanne on Netflix, which will come out.

We love to see you if you come out to LA We'd love to spend some time with you.

Oh y'all.

I'd love to come in.

Oh man, we'll set it up.

We'll definitely everybody I know.

Okay, thank y'all.

Y'all impression, Well.

You have a great holiday whichever holidays come up by the time, we are pleasure.

Enjoy all the cream, and we can't wait to see what you do next.

Thank you, oh, thank you, Mandarin.

I will I'll be fat as mud by the time I get to all sames.

I can't do that.

All right, y'all have a wonderful thanks given.

Well, see y'all when I get out, you too.

We'll see you soon, Okay, all right, bye bye bye.

You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI AM six forty.

You and I both lived in Seattle at arguably one of the more magical times for that city.

Amazon, Microsoft, Starbucks.

They were all the on the come.

If you want to call it, you use a gambling reference.

They were doing very well, and ever since Howard Schultz turned it from that one individual shop there at Pike Place Market into a huge global powerhouse.

There are seventeen thousand stores not worldwide.

There are seventeen thousand Starbucks in the United States, and very few companies have managed that leap from regional favor to a national brand.

You had the Seattle's best for a while.

You had was it Pete's Coffee, and a couple others that kind of made their way, but nobody could compete with Starbucks.

Look to gen Z to find that to no longer be the case.

The market is being driven by evolving tastes, especially among members of gen Z that may not like Starbucks.

No brand captures the shift better.

And you know this.

You have a young daughter Dutch Brothers.

You've waited probably in a Dutch Brother's drive through line before.

What's special about Dutch Brothers.

Is it the dessert and a cup type of a place that it's the attitude?

I mean, what I notice about it is the a little over the top, but the just the down to earth, like, hey bro, it's up at.

The corporate Starbucks.

Yes, got it.

It's less forced than you would find perhaps in the Starbucks.

Okay, but yes, the dessert and a cup.

They had hundreds of different options and all of them are seven thousand calories.

Right right, they say more than food.

Coffee preferences diverge sharply by generation.

Logan Reich is an analyst did RBC Capital Markets.

He says everyone likes a chicken sandwich, but while older consumers still drink hot black coffee, younger ones gravitate toward colorful energy drinks and iced concoctions that look perfectly drizzled.

With caramel on TikTok.

Dutch Brothers is positioned at the crossroads of those shifting habits.

And do we say Dutch Brothers or Dutch Bros.

Oh, I am not the authority at all, Rosy, excuse me, I've been screwing it up.

Then I've never been.

I've never been.

I'm just intimate.

I'm not intimidated by the line.

I'm completely turned off by waiting for anything, let alone an overpriced cup of coffee.

It's also in a situation where they rarely plan correctly.

You know, Trader Joe's has a parking theory philosophy in and out have to have specific ingress and egress routes when you're because they just they just developed lines.

Dutch Bros.

Is very similar to that.

They'll put them in the wrong place and they'll back up traffic regularly.

Do you grow out of the dessert and a cup drizzled with caramel and whipped cream, or do you just keep getting hooked on it until you get obese and then you get ozepic and then you're over it and the next generation gets hooked on them.

It's a good question because what my parents never really My dad was a big sugar in his coffee guy, but that was it.

No milk or anything.

They just sugar.

My mom got into those really bad, little tiny cups of fake creamer that were flavored like the French vanilla or the beeselnut or something like that.

But I don't remember there ever.

I don't remember smelling anything other than just coffee.

Yeah, so it was never I was never really into coffee until well Africa.

It's definitely not a thing we grew up with.

It's definitely a thing that happened.

I think when I lived in in Seattle is when they started with all the frappuccino stuff, and that was two thousand and four.

I mean, it wasn't the very beginning, but it was where it started picking up some steam.

And you have it at Pete's and Tully's and Starbucks, these like desserting a cup type things.

I love Tully and I.

Do remember some of those first living in Seattle, the first sugary coffee, milk shaky kind of concoctions, and thought, well, I can get coffee and have desserted at the same time.

I'm in I.

Know, But the thing is, as much as I love it, it's a.

It is definitely a crash that exists.

It's and it's not a good one.

I can't take it.

It makes me sad, it does.

It makes me because I realized that feeling.

It's the physical feeling of or as an example, if I'm doing rehearsals for this show, right and it's a long day, and they'll put out snacks, right, everyone's like a little bag of nuts or some Snickers bar, some someone's leftover Halloween Canton, And I go, you know what, little baby snickers isn't gonna hurt me?

And then I'll have six and then like an hour and a half later, gets that feel sad?

Yeah, I feel, man, you so sad?

Definitely, non do cocaine.

And then I go, why did I feel so sad?

And then I remember I had six Nicks.

You know what helps is smoking?

A little weed came down?

So it does it lessen my It does it?

Just it smooths it out.

It's smooth, smoother landing.

Yeah, I'm not jamming the wheels into the into the runway, right.

You can't go from six Snicker bars to nothing?

Bro Man, Why am I so sad?
