Gary and Shannnon talk about #WhatsHappening and #WatchaWatchinWednesday.

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you'relistening to KFI AM six forty, the
Gary and Shannon Show on demand onthe iHeartRadio app. What else is going
on? Time for what's happening?Well, the Supreme Court is really a
little loose with their keystrokes. TheCourt inadvertently and briefly uploaded what it said

(00:24):
was a document about a ruling thathas yet to be released this high profile
case over Idaho's ban on abortions.The brief document, or i should say,
the document that was posted briefly indicatesthat the Court is poised to require
the state to allow emergency access fornow. The Supreme Court spokeswoman said the

(00:46):
publication unit inadvertently and briefly uploaded adocument to the website. The opinion has
not been released, but would beissued in due course. Bloomberg News was
the first to notice this and apparentlyget a copy of it, and said
that the document appeared to indicate thatthe justices voted six to three to dismiss
the Idaho case as improvidently granted,which would mean a lower court order that

(01:10):
requires access to abortion in emergency situationsin Idaho would be reinstated. Now again,
I'll point this out because a lotof people were a lot of people
were fearful that a six to threeconservative majority court meant that every single ruling
was going to be six to threealong ideological lines, and very few of

(01:32):
them have ended up being that,and this is one example of that.
I don't know exactly the breakdown becausethe thing was only up for a short
time, but six to three inorder to reinstate that lower court ruling allows
it to take place, allows thestate to or allows there to be a
requirement for emergency abortions, even thoughthe State of Idaho otherwise outlaws. Their

(01:56):
job is to interpret the constitution,interpret the law, leave politics or their
opinions out of it. And thatis what they're doing, and that's what
the Supreme Court is for. Thedebate is a big topic of conversation.
Obviously, it is going to betomorrow night. Robert F. Kennedy Junior
says he believes Trump is going towin. He did an interview that has

(02:17):
just been released where he says hedoesn't think it's possible for President Biden to
beat Trump and the debate. Alsoclaim that Trump is the greatest debater in
modern American history. He's a master. He wait what, Yeah, And
I think I know what he's doing. I think I mean's he may be
trying to I don't know. Actually, I don't know what he's doing with

(02:38):
that. But R. F.Kennedy Junior will be holding some sort of
debate performance here in La at aTV studio. They're going to have a
live audience, he says. Theysay the debate will be between R.
F. Kennedy Junior, Biden andTrump. So the only thing I can
think of is they're going to startthe debate and then pause it when he
wants to interject, and then continue, and then pause it, and then

(03:00):
continue and pause it. And evenif he doesn't have to do it concurrently,
he could do it afterwards and letthat thing live on social media and
then repackage a bunch of the answersthat he gives and compare them to what
Biden and Trump would say. Bythe way, you can hear the CNN
presidential debate tomorrow night at six pmon CNN and of course simulcast right here

(03:21):
on KFI. A big fire couldget much bigger. In central Oregon,
the Darlene three fire is burning intoshoots County south of Bend, just south
of the Sun River Resort area.No containment as of today. It started
just yesterday afternoon, fanned by thegusty winds right near the town of Lepine,

(03:44):
which is about twenty five hundred people. The Dashootz County Sheriff's office ordered
some people out of the south sideof that little town, so they have
open shelters again at this point,about seventeen hundred acres and zero percent containment
since that. The southern border downover forty percent since the administration announced asylum
restrictions. They say authorities apprehended aboutsixteen hundred migrants on Monday, down from

(04:12):
nineteen hundred on Sunday. Rivian andVolkswagen are forming a joint venture to create
vehicle software. Rivian and Volkswagen formingthis partnership so shares of Rivian, which
has had its own problems quite significantlyover the course of the last couple of
years. Sure shares of Rivian sooredforty percent this morning before when I should

(04:35):
say, Volkswagen valued to invest abillion dollars into Rivian immediately, a potential
of up to five billion dollars aspart of a software development agreement as well.
The market value of Rivian went upto about eighty six billion just after
it went public in twenty one.But is in dire need of money to

(04:55):
continue operations. Whatever happened to thatchase? What's going on? No?
I was looking for that in thebreak and I couldn't find anything. See
no resolution. The TV stations allbacked off of it. This was the
chase that I wonder if they weretold to back off of it. I
don't know. I it's some highprofile person that we're not supposed to know
is leading police on a chase.The chase began in Costa Mesa. The

(05:19):
original driver was taken into custody.A female passenger jumps behind the wheel and
takes off. It came up here, It went through South La, West
La. It went into del Rey, Culver City, all those areas,
Lax area right well right around theairport. Yeah, like you said,
And that caused some issues because thedriver, this woman apparently piloting an Audi

(05:45):
Q five I said X five forsome reason, but an OUTERI Q five
suv a white one. And werealized while they were doing this chase,
as every car on the road isa white mid sized SUV and the TV
stations were having a hard time keepingtrack of this specific one because there were
so many other similar looking cars thatwere out there already. One of the

(06:09):
big stories of the Olympics going intoParis next month is who's not on the
American teams. Caitlin Clark was leftoff the women's basketball team. Alex Morgan
is the latest name she will notbe going to the Paris Olympics. For
the women's soccer team, she wasthe most notable absence of the eighteen players

(06:29):
that were named to the squad forthe first year coach, a woman named
Emma Hayes. In this case,she was the one. Alex Morgan started
all four of America's matches in theWorld Cup last year, but did not
score. She scored one assist,but it's probably one of a couple of
names that most people can recall,even a member of the women's national team.

(06:53):
Gary and Shannon will continue, whatare we going to talk about?
Oh? Unschooling, Oh unschooling,schooling, no rules, school, school's
out for summer. No, you'rebetter than that. You're listening to Gary
and Shannon on demand from KFI AMsix forty. Physical Brush turns into you

(07:16):
falling down on the ground and holdingyour head as if you've been shot,
like if you were, you know, driving through traffic or something like that
and somebody cuts you off and youjust immediately jam that wheel to the left
and slam your car into the centermedian. Ah, you don't do that.

(07:38):
I don't. I do not dothat. So one thing I do
not like about about all of thissoccer michig gos, michi gos. Great
word you heard. There was arecent TikTok video that's caused quite a stir.
How much time you spent on TikTokthat you found this video? No,

(07:58):
I don't spend any time. Idon't want the Chinese stealing my information.
Got it China, But anyway,the teacher author Teresa, responded to
a mother advocating for unschooling. Thisis an unconventional educational approach that's been gaining
some steam. Unschooling. This isa concept popularized by educator John Holt in

(08:22):
the seventies, and it emphasizes learningthrough life experiences, personal interests, everyday
activities rather than a formal, formalcurriculum. I kind of learned radio this
way, as opposed to in college, you know, practical applications of things

(08:43):
as opposed to curriculum. You know, that's funny because I I had been
asked there was a time when peoplecared what I said about getting into the
business. Uh huh. And therewere a couple of different times that I
spoke to classes or students one onone and they would ask me, how

(09:05):
do you get into the business,How do you get a radio and TV?
How do you do this? Howdo you do that? And my
answer to them was always, don'tgo in for information and communication studies with
an emphasis in media arts, whichis what I did. Yeah, I
said, find the thing that ismost Find a topic that's interesting to you,
whether it's environmental ethics, political science, law, pre law, biology,

(09:28):
find something. If you've got thething that it takes to be on
the air and radio and TV,which is what you want, then you've
got it. No one's going totrain it into you. Can you have
a level of expertise in a certainfield, right, And that would have
been great advice that I would haveappreciated before I learned about the Privacy Act
of nineteen sixty six, which Ido not use for this job. Learning

(09:48):
about radio and TV is not thesame as doing it right. You're learning
about the history and the regulations,et cetera. But it's that like,
in what world is that applic Yeah, I mean and most I think most
what would you call it? Mostpursuits are like that. But there's no
reason in this in this context.Here's what I don't understand. She's talking

(10:11):
about this, this replacing normal schoolright in that this is sort of a
branch of home schooling. But insteadof sending away for a curriculum that you
then, in her words, imposeon your children, you allow them a
lot more leeway in terms of comingup with what topics they want to discuss

(10:33):
or what subjects they want to learnmore about, and then you facilitate them
learning those things. You go tomuseums, you go to sporting events,
you go to I don't know,religious ceremony, whatever it is they want
to learn about. They are theones who drive the education. The kids
are the ones that drive it.Why can't you do that outside of school
or are outside of what you knowsending your kid to a public school exactly

(10:56):
in school? And then this isthe weekend. That's what that's what,
that's what your responsibility is as aparent. Yeah, I mean we've spent
we've spent more times talking about AaronBoorr's shorts if we have any other class
that we took at Chico, becausethey were really short. You guys,

(11:18):
this was a teacher who drove aMazda Miata and wore really short shorts,
and he had questionably long hair forthat necessary. He was a big tennis
guy, wasn't he. The shortswere giving tennis. That's probably why I
thought that I had him for alate Monday evening class. It was seven

(11:41):
parents or after dark. Yeah,and he would roll in. He would
always roll in with shorts. Andin the winters, it gets cold there,
I mean, yeah, the sungoes down and in Chico it's beat
old thirty degrees and he would wearthe shorts, and he would wear the
shorts. Interesting. I don't thinkI ever saw that man in pants constantly.
Yeah. Runner, not a runner, Not a runner, No,

(12:03):
not at all. That It's notwhat I got from him. But these
people who are criticizing this woman,Mom Teresa said, you're guaranteeing that your
kid is going to be malnourished,overstimulated, and uneducated. What you're doing
is you're limiting your child's ability tolearn anything outside of their own tangible environment,

(12:26):
which is an interesting thing. Whatwhat are these kids exposed to?
Are you giving them the world andletting them pick out what they think is
important or fun or interesting or exciting, or are you just living with them
in a normal, you know,suburban house where outside influences aren't necessarily encouraged.

(12:48):
I mean, I'd had this conversationwith my son just a couple of
weeks ago about one of the thingsthat you should do after high school at
some point is experience some other partof the conation or the world, whether
it's through service or volunteer or travelor whatever it is. You got to
get out of your bubble so yousee what else is out there. How
does a seven year old know whatelse is out there to even be interested

(13:11):
in? And maybe that maybe she'san expert at it. Maybe she's an
expert at introducing these different things toher kids and then letting them choose.
I don't know, have you seenthe World's Ugliest Dog? I didn't even
know there was a contest for this, Let alone in our backyard where we
grew up. This was We usedto do this all the time. Oh
you did hated this thing? Youused to go to it? No,
I didn't go. Well, Ithink I went to it once. Huh.

(13:33):
But it would get coverage and theTV stations from San Francisco would be
in town and they would make abig deal out of the World's Ugliest Dog
contest. The World's Ugliest Dog Contestwas held at the Sonoma Marine Fair in
Petaluma, and wild Thing was crownedand collected the five thousand dollars after five

(13:54):
previous attempts. He just wasn't uglyugly enough those five previous attempts. This
time, the eight year old Pekinesewas ugly enough. They say he's kind
of like the bride'smaid, and neverthe bride. One of the judges was
Fiona Ma. Yes it should ringa bell. She's the treasurer for the

(14:20):
state of California. Oh my gosh, I won't know why. Why that's
troubling. They said that wild Thing, as a puppy, contracted a virus
that almost killed him, left himwith permanent damage. His teeth never developed,
so his tongue flops out and hisright front leg paddles all the time.
This is not and this is wherethis is why I hated this contest.

(14:41):
It's a celebration of all of thegenetic abnormalities that people ignored about their
dogs. Right now, Granted,the dog deserves a life, I'll give
you that, but this, butit's like significant health problems that the dog.
It's affected the dog's quality of life, and you're you're championing that.
And I always looked at these dogs. I mean this one fourteen year old

(15:05):
pug that's walking the red carpet withthe help of wheels, right is fourteen
a pug FOURT that's a that's anextra innings dog right there. This is
like if I celebrated your lazy eyeevery day. You know, that's something
that's affected your quality of life.And I don't want to point it out
all the time. God, youhave a lazy eye. Oh yeah,

(15:26):
now that she's told you, you'renever gonna not see it. I prefer
you look at my left eye,by the way, OK so if you
need to, you know, youknow, when you see somebody who's your
left or are left whose eyes alittle bit wonky and you always have to
figure out which one to look at. Really quickly. I'll tell you ahead
of time. It's my left eye. It's this one, it's this one,

(15:46):
it's that one. Wait, whichone? This is the one that's
lazy. This is the one you'resupposed to look at. Okay, and
by lazy, I mean it doesnot see How can you see it now?
Oh it's crazy. Yes, Isee it every day. I sit
here and look at it for fourhours. Okay, Okay, I have

(16:07):
a bug bite on my arm.Hm. Not the same. Well,
it's not. You know how distractingthat is. Really, you've rubbed so
many different ointments and compounds on thatthing today. Price you're gonna have an
arm tomorrow. If only I couldrub something on your eye and make it
go back to normal. All right, Gary will continue. You're listening to

(16:30):
Gary and Shannon on demand from KFIAM six forty. Some stories we're following
for you today. Hot and humidon the northeast part of the country.
There was a short break from scorchingtemperatures earlier in the week. They say
that there could be severe thunderstorms.New York, New Jersey, Delaware,

(16:51):
Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington, DCcould all see damaging storms. They say,
uh, problem on the Metro.Metro says they're trying to repair some
electrical issue on the Blue Line betweenVernon and Washington stations south of downtown LA.
The A Line trains that are operatingin two segments from downtown Long Beach
up to Vernon and from San PedroStreet to Citrus College a service every twenty

(17:15):
minutes in both directions. There areshuttle buses that are going to be carrying
people between there. But hey,nobody died, and nobody got stabbed,
and there was no shooting. Housespeaker Mike Johnson told reporters today, Americans,
we'll see a sharp contrast between thetwo presidential candidates. He joked that
it doesn't matter if Biden drinks awhole gallon of Energy drinks, you can't

(17:36):
match the energy of Trump, andI'll have to defend his record. The
Supreme Court appears appears poised to allowemergency abortions in Idaho. This is specifically
a case where a pregnant patient's healthmight be at serious risk. Bloomberg was
first to report that a copy ofthe opinion was briefly posted Wednesday on the

(17:57):
Supreme Court's website. It suggests theCourt will conclude that it should not have
gotten involved in this case so quickly, and will actually reinstate an order that
had allowed hospitals in Idaho to performemergency abortions to protect a pregnant patient's health.
It's time for what you watch onWednesday. The following program is brought
to you in living color. Butyou watching in the Americans love television.

(18:22):
They win their kids college USA television, Mancha Beta, You've been watching too
many of those live television shows.Well, it's tonight, right. I
keep seeing conflicting reports of when theBear episodes will be available. I heard
it was the twenty seventh, andthen an article yesterday said that they would
be out tonight at six. Well, I would imagine tonight at six is

(18:45):
probably the best, the correct one, only because I've seen it happen a
lot of times when they announce adate and then preload that ye preloaded into
the system so that people can checkit out early. So the Bear season,
the first couple of seasons have beenabsolutely fantastic. And Jeremy Allen White,

(19:07):
who is the main character, playsCarmi. Right, Carmine. It
takes over a sandwich shop, Imean and as basic as the premise is,
there's some incredible characters there, cousin, You've got the line cook that's
with him. You've got that tattooedguy that is like the handyman around his

(19:30):
own sister. Oliver Plath is inthis, I mean, this young chef
that inherits his family's restaurant and hadcome from his own Michelin starred experience as
a cook rebuilds the family restaurant,and it's so well done. There was
an episode, I mean to giveyou an idea of how great it was

(19:52):
on Hulu. By the way,there was an episode last year. Well,
in the first season there was anepisode was almost entirely one take,
like twenty nine minutes of a singlecamera. And then in the second season
there was an episode about a familydinner. I think it was Christmas if
I'm not mistaken. It was aChristmas stir and it was the actor JAMIEE.

(20:14):
Churis, and it was the mostamazing, fascinating. It was the
most amazing, well written, incrediblyacted show that we've seen, I think
in many many years. So yes, they say, at least the Wikipedia
entry says it will be released today. So here's where we left off.

(20:36):
When we left them about a yearago, it was Friends and Family Night
at the Bear. This was thenew restaurant made from the ashes of the
sandwich place that you were talking aboutthat he inherited from his brother. But
they say in the last ten minutesof the finale, he gets into a
scream fight with cousin Ritchie, accidentallybroke up with his childhood crush Claire.

(20:57):
Remember how devastating that was, andgot stuck in the walk in refrigerator.
That's right, And thenber Sydney wantsa Michelin star. Is she's that line
cook? Yeah, she's wonderful.They said. Also, by the way,
it was renewed for a fourth seasonand it will be filming back to

(21:18):
back with this current season, sothey're gonna I would assume they put it
out quicker. We don't have towait as long perhaps for that in the
meantime, and they say all episodesare going to be streaming, so once
they put it on, you're justgoing to plow through it in a couple
of days. If yeah, sowe may start watching that tonight, the
other episode that's coming out today,or I should say, the other show

(21:41):
that has an episode coming out todayis Presumed Innocent. I started this and
could not get over the factual problems. Well this, and I know exactly
what you're saying. Presumed Innocent isbased on the old Scotch A Rowe novel
from the eighties, and it actuallywas a movie with Harrison Ford in nineteen
ninety. I went and I watchedthat movie. Oh you did. I

(22:04):
was curious because I didn't like theway the TV show is playing out,
but I wanted to see the movie. I'd never seen it or read the
book, and one of the reviewssaid that it was filled with sexism and
all of that. Okay, theysay broad a number of times, they
refer to her as abroad and whathave you, and you know they don't

(22:26):
get into how good of a lawyershe is and things like that. Very
well, but I will just saythis and I won't reiterate what it was.
My initial reaction to the first episodeof the TV series was the correct
ending of the movie. Yes,but and I remember it, Like I
said, I remember the movie.But you even said they may change the

(22:51):
ending for the TV Yes, theymay change the ending. I misspoke.
It's not today that's coming out it'sFriday. Friday is when episode four comes
out, called The Burden, andagain Jake Jillenhall is the UH is a
DA assistant district Attorney. Actually hisboss just lost an election, his DA
just lost an election. And butthe premise is that a woman also in

(23:12):
the office, another Adya, wasmurdered in her home and it's this most
gruesome manner in a way that uh, the let's see them was similar to
a killer that they put away yearsago. So they have to figure out
how. And then this guy isgoing to investigate. Jake Jillenhall's character is
going to investigate the murder of somebodyin the in their own office that would

(23:34):
never happen. But you have tosuspend your disbelief to get through that.
And it's a it's a pretty welldone story. So let us know what
you're watching. Hook us up withyour programming. You can let us know
on Twitter at Gary and Shannon,or you can use a talkback feature on
the iHeartRadio app. Somebody did thatalready. And here's what she's Gary and

(23:55):

based out and couldn't remember Gary's name, But anyway, just wanted to say
keep to say doing the great job. I feel like I know you and
I also went to Catholic school andso some of the stories you tell,
I just feel like I know you. And even though I don't, I

during these crazy times in life.That was very nice. I thought you
tell us what she was watching onTV? Have you guys seen the Veil?
No, it's Elizabeth Moss a Veil. I think it's six episodes.
I really enjoyed it. It's kindof Homeland esque. Oh really, but

(24:40):
I didn't love the ending. Ah. That's all I'll say about that any
in it? No lot, nowait, no, no, no,
no A teeny bit. Okay,this is the one I was going to
tell you about. She Well,we'll tell we'll come when we come back.
Gary and Channel will continue with whatyou're watching Wednesday. You're listening to
Gary and She And on Demand fromkf I am six forty. We're in

(25:03):
the middle of what you watching Wednesdaytalking about the TV shows movies that you've
been watching. This is John fromSherman Oakay. John, what I'm watching
is on Netflix hit Man. Ohyeah, really funny, really good.
Thank you. Don't don't spend alot of time on that one. I
mean, don't spend a lot ofbrain space on that one. You don't
have to. But it was fun. It was It was fun to have

(25:25):
the you know, main character's namewas Gary. Hey, garyn Tucker.
Guys, need to check out YourHonor on Netflix. Your Honor. You
saw that, right, of course, that's I started that Brian Cranston.
It was really well that. Itwas originally a show Time show, I
believe, but Netflix got some gotit on its platform so you can watch

(25:48):
the whole thing in one fell Swoop. Two seasons of it. Very well
done, very well acted. BrianCranston's really good at what he does.
Hi, Gary and Shannon, thankyou for what you do. Thank you
always putting a smile on my face. Sounds like it. Tokyo. Wece
on Hulu excellent three seasons or twoseasons. And there's a book that likes

(26:11):
you guys to read. It's calledMoscow Rules. The book Moscow Rules about
CIA couple who make disguises. Takecare. That sounds familiar. It's the
secret CIA tactics that helped America winthe Cold War. Did you just rattle
that off off the top of yourhead. No, it's also a novel
by Daniel Silva. Doog Google,you probably like Daniel Silva books. I

(26:34):
think I read husband's read those.In fact, I think the one that
I just read was the one wasDaniel silver book that he gave me.
Hey, Gary and Shannon, thisis Greg and Cardiff by the Sea.
We've been watching Sugar on Apple TV. Colin Ferrell an amazing drama film noir
set in the modern day, witha concluding episode that will absolutely blow you

(26:59):
all wa where it's a weird twist. That's a weird twist. And I
didn't think it was. I mean, it was a well done. Remember,
I thought it was originally the genderbending that was the description that I
saw. It turns out it wasgenre bending, which at least because I
was like three four episodes in,I'm like, I don't get it what

(27:19):
you watch. On Wednesday, Ijust watched The Erase on Disney and it's
World War two people of color whowere basically erased from the history books that
showed valor and it's really interesting,really cool. National National Geographic produced it,

(27:41):
but it's on Disney Plus. It'sgreat. Yeah, it's called Eras.
I saw a trailer for that.It's pretty intriguing national geographic stuff now
that it has a home on DisneyPlus. Really incredible stuff. Some of
it is. Some of it's kindof pedantic. It's not the right word.
It's just for me, a straightdopamine hit to my limbic system.

(28:06):
It is like the Secret Service,twenty four Hours with the Secret Service,
or something like twenty four hours insidethe President's Limousine or something like that some
of those. But they also dosome great documentary stuff that is more historical
nature. I feel like this isall for not because everyone is just going
to watch the Bear for a whileprobably so next Wednesday we're just going to

(28:29):
go, oh, so did youfinish the Bear? And you know what
is always fun for me to observeabout us, or maybe it's just me.
I think it's both of us,though, but I could be wrong.
Is when we interview somebody who worksin restaurants and we're like, do
you lick the bear? Well,I mean it's probably as close, and
they're like, yes, we likethe bear, of course we do.
There are three trailers up on thewebsite if you go to KFIAM six forty

(28:52):
dot com slash Gary and Shannon.You've got Brandy back in movies if she
returns to the horror genre in amovie called The front Room. Hugh Grant
gets pretty creepy in a trailer forthe movie Heretic, and Lucas Gage gets
his face twisted up into that weirdgrin with smile to that weird thriller movie

(29:15):
and everybody asks for it. FreakyFriday sequel is coming out with for that
with Lindsay Loewan and the aforementioned JamieLee Curtis. How are they going to
do that? What do you mean? Well, it's just the ages are
much different, aren't they. Yeah, but do you remember the whole thing?
No, I never watched it.It was a mom and daughter who

(29:37):
switched bodies, right, So nowthey're going to switch at their respected ages
now, yeah? Yeah, ormaybe there's a granddaughter in there and all
I was thinking that's where it wouldgo. It would be crazy. You've
