The Gary & Shannon Show Hour 1 (06.04) – Guest host Meghan Daum joins Gary for a wide-ranging conversation about writing, podcasting, and why she agreed to return to the "old-fashioned" world of radio.

Then, the focus shifts to California's still-unfinished primary results as millions of ballots remain uncounted and questions continue to swirl about the state's lengthy vote-counting process. Gary and Meghan break down the latest numbers in the governor's and mayoral races, discuss the surprising rise and fall of several high-profile candidates, examine how delayed results impact public confidence, and explore why Spencer Pratt's outsider campaign appears to be resonating with voters.
