By Gary and Shannon

October 29, 2025

This week, Gary and Shannon dive into the controversy over a Los Angeles public official landing a $2-million golden parachute—without ever having to take the jump. Then, we take a spooky turn as we explore L.A.’s most epic family-run haunted house—a Van Nuys institution that might just outshine the big-budget attractions. Plus, we go behind the music with Tom Freston, MTV co-founder and author of Unplugged: Adventures from MTV to Timbuktu. He joins the show to talk about the golden age of MTV, his “Like Kubal” essay from Vulture, and the untold stories that shaped pop culture.
