While listening to the show. Today.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
An awful story out of Lancaster Investigating authorities investigating the
death of a seven year old boy found shot to
death in a home believed that he had gone to
a friend's house. Don't know if he found a gun.
They were playing with a gun. Exactly what happened. The
deputies responded to a home on Dahalia Street yesterday found
the seven year old boy with a critical gunshot wound.
(01:36):
He was pronounced dead at the scene there by the paramedics.
France is expressing concern about growing military cooperation between North
Korea and Russia after South Korean intelligence said that the
North was deploying many troops to support Moscow's war in Ukraine.
The Foreign Ministry spokesman for France set an increase in
(01:57):
North Korean cross cooperation in military support for the Russian
war effort is very worrying. Earlier today, the spy agency
out of South Korea said that North Korea has been
sending large scaled troops to support Moscow's war in Ukraine.
Fifteen hundred special forces from North Korea already in the
far East of Russia and undergoing training.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Kamala Harris is bringing out the big guns. That's where
we kick off Swamp watch.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
The swamp is horrible.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
The government doesn't work. Man gonna make it like a
reality TV show. Bad news.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Hey, Joe, A town all too clearly built on a
swamp and in so many ways still a swamp.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I have a batch of Malarkeebody.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Said, drained the swamp, I said, Oh, that's so hell.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
You know the thing.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Well. The Obamas will make their first campaign appearances alongside
at Kamala Harris next week at rallies in Georgia and Michigan.
Democrats have long waited to deploy the former first couple
of surrogates for Kamala Harris. She remained the country's most
popular political figures on that sign.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Interesting, do you believe that Obama is in charge of
the Democratic Party?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
It would make me feel better than if Joe Biden
was at the helm.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Well, there is that.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
One of the things that Kamala Harris has been able
to do in the campaign over the last couple of
days is continue to go after Donald Trump, specifically as
opposed to laying out specific policies, as opposed to drawing
people to the Democratic Party. She's they both do it,
but she's feeding the meat to her base by saying
that Donald Trump is the threat to democracy.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
He who has vowed, if re elected, he will be
a dictator on day one, that he will weaponize the
Department of just against his political enemies. He who calls
Americans who disagree with him the enemy from within and
(04:11):
yes and says that if re elected, he would use
the military to go after them.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
It's interesting how we're using the words we associate with
our fiercest enemies to speak about fellow Americans, whether it's fascist, dictator,
or communist. We're describing the people that are going to
run this country as the adjectives we use to describe
our worst enemies.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Right, did you think of the lap of the last
one hundred plus years of the world. Those are the
people who have created, started been responsible for some of
the worst atrocities, starting the world wars.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Those are the people.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
And that's the language that we use for our political
opponents here.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I mean, what else are you going to do?
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Everything is everything is stood up supercharged. It's got to
be turbocharged superlatives. That's what we work in. You can't
just the best or the worst have a cordial disagreement
with anybody anymore. No, she also Kamala Harris. Actually she
We've played plenty of Trump gaffes that has that have occurred.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
She's stood up to veterans and stood up for excuse me,
stood up for veterans and students being scammed.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Now, that was kind of a funny thing because the
big headlines about how she's that's not ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
It really isn't. It's it's like when he got raped
over the Coles for saying Ashley Babbitt died, nobody died.
It's like, it's obviously just misspeaking. And you know what,
you and I do it all the time.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Easy, not you and I, You and me.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
We're going to get a lot, a lot.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
But don't forget these people are talking now, especially as
we get closer to election day. They're talking three four
five hours a day. You're gonna catch them, You're gonna
get them to say something stupid, and that just happened
to be one of them. One of the big deals
that came out from the Democratic National Committee is that
(06:15):
they're using Taylor Swift's Miami Era's tour shows for a
big voter push.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Not a huge.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Surprise considering Taylor Swift has come out and supported Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
She posted a video Taylor Swift read into this what
you will. If you want to read nothing into it,
that's fine too. But she posted a video about an
hour ago on social media of her and the cameras
shooting her as she's walking into the stadium and it's
her backside and she's just walking and wear jeans on
(06:46):
a sweater or something, and then it flips around to
the front of Taylor Swift and she's holding her cat
and she's petting her cat and she's inside the stadium
and it's like getting ready for the Miami Eras tour
or what have you. And you can didn't do it that.
That's like I'm a cat lady kind of a thing. Right,
going back against what Vance said she wants the president
(07:07):
to be a woman of color. Why because the cat's
name is Olivia Benson? Is it isn't that? Wasn't that
the name from SVU?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
No? Is that who it is? So I'm thinking of
the wrong show. Then what show were you thinking of
where what's her face? Was?
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
President?
Speaker 4 (07:29):
No, it's Kerrie Washington and she wasn't the president she
was she was dad around with the president.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
You're ruining all of this? Was it a dog dad?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Olivia Benson is the character from SVUDD Law and Order SVU.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, okay, also show I've never seen.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
You've never seen Law and Order s VU. You've never
seen that program?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Correct?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Wow? Is it because you hate women with badges?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
No? I like Marisco Argetary. I think how could you.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Know that you like Mariska Hargetar without seeing that show.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Let's pump this. This is apparently a trigger for you.
I didn't know that. Let's talk about this.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
It's a great show. I'm not saying I think you'd
really like that show.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Is it better than this show? Because?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yeah? Okay, set the bar high.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
God, Speaking of which, no, enough time. I don't know
why you think that I was watching Tyra Banks in
a bikini earlier.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Come on, Shannon, you ragged on poor Gary because he
looked at a hot pretty woman. And I promise you
I could almost guarantee my life that if it was
a man in his show knees and he had junk
in the trunk.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Oh and he had a six pack. Now, let's eight pack.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
You would be doing the same darn thing.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah, right, exactly My point.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
No, you would admit it knowing you.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yes. And the point was when we were talking about
the Victoria Secret Runway Show or whatever, and Gary's like,
I wouldn't spend one minute looking at that, and I'm like,
but if it was on, you'd probably look at it
just because it's pretty girls in lingerie. And he's like, no,
and so that's my way.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
No, I just I'm not going to go search it
out right.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Right, right, But I just saw your face go to
that screen when that pretty girl in the lingerie was
on this morning, and so it proved my point and
it made me feel good in a weird way.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
That is a weird way for good.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
The Texas Supreme Court halted in execution yesterday of Robert Roberson.
This is a guy who was convicted of killing his
two year old daughter. And the reason they halted the
execution was not because of the case, at least not yet.
There was an intervention from a group of members of
the Texas State House of Representatives. They actually issued a
(10:02):
subpoena for this guy this death Row inmate to testify
before the legislature coming up on Monday. So that is
there's a procedural question of can the legislative arm of
the Texas state government somehow get involved in the executions
(10:24):
of inmates by requiring them to appear before a House
or Senate committee hearing. So that led to this decision,
not the facts of this case. Because the execution could
not be carried out before midnight last night, they're going
to have to go through and set a new date.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Right now, the Santa Ana wins are supposed to be
at their peak whipping through the area. Obviously, temperatures are
going to be up. Concerns about possible wildfires as well.
They say mid to late morning today, the strongest winds
will be in the usual Santa Ana prone area's Highway
fourteen corridor, San Gabriel Mountains west during San Fernando Valley,
(11:01):
Simi Valley, Kinejo Valley, Santa Monica Mountains, Malibu, especially east
of Point Doom.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
There.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
They say win's going to peak about fifty five miles
per hour.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
So former President Trump has come out against Special Council
Jack Smith and the judge overseeing the election subversion case
out of DC. The decision that came out today was
the judge unsealed about nineteen hundred pages of evidence that
Special Council Jack Smith put together in putting this election
(11:33):
interference case together, posting it online. But almost every single
page of the nineteen hundred pages is completely redacted, which
means you can't see a word. Many of the pages
fully unviewable. They said that there is still a little
from what you can see, it's a little tiny window
(11:56):
into how wide ranging this case is. Most of what
you can see in the new documents are already out there,
transcripts from the January sixth committee, some press releases from
Secretaries of State, texts of Trump's rally speech, and the
phone call with officials in Georgia, election certificates that showed
(12:18):
President Biden was the winner of twenty twenty. One of
those exhibits appears to review much of the Twitter activity
activity from the period of the election. The judge released
this information despite objections from former President Trump, saying that
this desire to shield the information because of election amounted
to its own form of interference. But Trump took the
(12:39):
truth social and said, quote, this is the judge is
the most evil person who's on a radio show also
and said the judge is allowing him to do it,
him being Jack Smith, and it's not even believable. This
guy is a sick puppy and they're going to release
something else. And always before the election, it's election interference.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Kamala Harris spend the week partition of the week trying
to woo black voters, going to Detroit. She's gone to
Michigan six times. People, the feedback is rolling in. It's
not all great. Black voters still skeptical. And one of
the pieces of damning evidence that came out that that's
(13:22):
going to be a problem is that most polls show
that Americans do favor Trump over Harris on the issue
of the economy. That's going to be a problem. She's
also losing ground because of the ag DA whole situation.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
How you can't change that, You cannot change that, right,
And I don't.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Know if Barack and Michelle are bridge that.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Gap for her.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Another problem that she had when she was in Detroit is, uh,
people felt like she was this is according to the
exit surveys or what have you, there that she was
in and then she was out she came for the
photo op and then left without hearing from people in Detroit,
(14:17):
So they feel abandoned by her, that she needs to
spend more time with them.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Yeah, and if one of her big pitches is just
don't sit this one out, that's not a way to do.
It's not a way to garner enthusiasm for your for yourself.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Well, I read something yesterday after noon about how it's
all going to come down to turn out, and that
she has the edge in that regard that Democrats are
more likely to turn out than all of Trump's.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
People wonder what that is?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
That part is part of that because they think the
election is rigged, that it can't be trusted. Yes, I
mean because he's done himself. No favors in repeating that
over and over.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
But I wonder what those numbers would have been like
in Midgell Democrats were not excited to go vote, right.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Oh, there were no voter enthusiasm. Yeah, I don't know,
but that just traditionally Democrats are better at turning out
the vote.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
All Right, some layoffs at Meta, but also Amazon says, hey, guys,
five days a week at the office is not slave driving.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Maybe we you know, work again.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
That's weird. Could you imagine if there were people here today?
Cool story for the Mets tonight. Gotta hand this one
to them. This is a cool thing that they have
done there in New York. They are going to sing
my Girl at Game five tonight of the NLCS, and
(15:44):
the Temptations will be there to do so. They will
perform the Star Spangled banner before the Mets play the Dodgers.
Immediately after the national anthem, they will perform my Girl.
Why Francisco Lindor switched his walk up music before play
appearances to My Girl in late May, just before the
Mets turned around their season following a slow start. That's
(16:08):
pretty cool. I like it when they do stuff like that.
What a strange thing to have changed your walk up
song too. Yeah, there's probably some personal story about it.
There's also Grimace that one Donald's Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Apparently throughout the first pitch sometime in late June, and
from that point to the end of the season the
Mets had the best record in baseball.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I think something along those lines.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I don't like these little magical touches. It's all super
I mean, I do like it.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
That's what's great about the Baseball Super Sessions, they don't.
I mean the rally Monkey and Anaheim for a long
time and doing the Freddy and the dugout. Yeah, I
love all of it.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I just don't like it when the other team has
the little bits of magic.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Why is this a Why is this considered a news story?
Reaba Macaire finds herself behind the Bar and her latest
return to Network TV, making a series that's a nicely
calibrated cocktail of drama and comedy.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Hey, you know, like when I say things and you
look at me like you're gonna get into trouble, I
really want to get you off this hill that you're
dying on. That is the anti Reba McIntyre hill, because
a lot of people love Riba McIntyre, and I don't
want them to think bad things about you for your
tone whenever you talk about her.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Happiest Place premieres tonight and finds Reba's character Bobby inheriting
a Tennessee tavern from her recently past father. That sounds
great and finding out in the first episode that he
had a second family. Even more alarming is the fact
that her dad left ownership of the bar to both
Bobby and her sister is a Bella played by Belissa Escobeto.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
And that's the other family, the sisters from the other family.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Adding to the tension is that the two women are
divided by a generation or two.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Oh yeah, this looks really good.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
NBC must have all the confidence in the world.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Looks great to debut it on a Friday night Happies place.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
This looks like fun. I'll watch this. I love Riba McIntyre.
I don't think my money, I.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Don't think that you do, and I don't think you'll
watch a minute of that show.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I remember when I was at the Country Music Hall
of Fame, or was it the Grand all Lopry where
they have the sequin dress she wore when she sang
fancy the Amcaca something American Country Music Awards.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
The Academy of Country Music Awards of Men's tiny.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
She's a tiny little thing. That's part of the reason
I don't like Riba.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
In your pecking order hair coups, you want me to
list them? Yeah, so there's Diane Keaton. She's probably at
the top of the list. Go on, Reba McIntyre, yep,
Terry Hatcher, I never remember if you love her or
hate her?
Speaker 4 (19:07):
There was an accusation that I was a little too
in love with her, oh circa like two thousand and four. Right,
So if I had, if I had to choose between.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Diane clear type, what does that mean? Tall and pretty
and brunette, that's the what I married? Thin and tall
and and brunette. Right, yeah, okay, right, you married you
married one of them.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
She was the one. She was the first.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Married one of them.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
This is quite the Hobson's choice between Diane Keaton and
Raba McIntyre.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
So really that's all that's I would I would have said,
Diane a clear winner.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
What is the what is what is the what is
the question?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Who you hate the most?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Who turns you off the most?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Like?
Speaker 4 (20:01):
If how fast would I run away from a show
involving that actress?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Probably faster away things wearing a hat, yeah, probably fast?
Speaker 4 (20:16):
And a vest yeah yeah I know, and baggy pants,
plunky shoes yeah no, probably her probably. Okay, we just
completely well, I'll just say this that the CEO. Matt Garman,
the CEO of Amazon Web Services, says nine out of
ten workers he has spoken with support a new policy
that if you don't like working five days a week
(20:38):
in office GTFO and don't let the door hit you
on the way out. What a refreshing way to think
of work in America. Hey, guys, five days at the office.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Did you hear about Meta firing a bunch of staff
members who abused their twenty five dollars meal vouchers? Yes,
apparently they were given vouchers and they were purchasing non
meals with them. They were purchasing like household items with
them or something, and so they were fired.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Part of it is companies, those tech companies all gave
away everything scooters in the ping pong tables, free foods,
free massages, nap cubicles and things.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Like that, and then realize that other, you.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Know, less scrupulous employees would take advantage of their generosity.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
And metastaff are given daily allowances of twenty dollars for breakfast,
twenty five for lunch, and twenty five for dinner, similar
perks to what other large tech companies offer workers on
top of their typical compensation. That's a lot of money
on food a day. I'd be buying household items too.
(21:53):
I was talking about football, which is another job that
I do. It was work related, No, yes.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Not an excuse. Now, who were you talking to?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Brian Blackmore, who runs the operations?
Speaker 5 (22:11):
All who runs the operations? He runs the operations.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Actually don't have any idea what Brian does, but I
know it's very important.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
His place would not be here without him.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
I'll tell you something. He's one of those guys that
you know behind the scenes, especially for Dodgers Baseball and
stuff like that. He's always here in the office, you know,
stressing because nothing can go wrong, right, nothing can happen
because there's so much money writing on us.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Absolutely no, he is hands on deck. He's one of
those people that never left the building.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Reminder, go ahead, Steve, it's something important. Fun to say. No,
that would be what it is Friday, which means it's
what you want. What you learned this week on the
Gary and Shannon Joe let us know via the talkback
feature on the iHeart App.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
We'll get to that late in the show.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Steve, I was very upset when.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
We hear a promo for the special, but we didn't
even get a heads up that the special was coming.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
I apologize. It's been a busy week, I am. I
barely got that promo done. I'm still editing the show. Yeah,
I'm sorry about that, because you guys are always good
about helping out and I dropped the ball on out.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah you did, Steve. I apologize. I think that we
should be higher up on the list of priorities.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
But you know I.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Finished the special. Tell Gary and Channon.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
What have an idea for the special?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Tell Gary and chann right, and then produce it except
their input.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Right, we are the ones who got unsolved rolling so.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
And I openly credit you for that. I always do.
I say it was a show that started by accident
thanks to the Gary and Channon Show. But beautiful, gotta
be careful because apparently the talk goes around it when
I come on that, uh we don't get serious enough.
Oh really yeah, oh I didn't get serious topics that
(24:03):
we're too busy laughing.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Let me find some serious music. Let me see if
I can.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I feel like we're super serious, especially on Fridays.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Every time Steve.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
S I got it from Ken like the John and
Ken Show. If you didn't notice, this is something I
picked up on years ago. Is Ken starts off the
week very serious. On Monday, He's all buttoned up, nothing
but the facts. No fun. But by Friday Ken lets loose.
Anything goes. He flies fast and loose on a Friday. Jokes,
(24:39):
funny things, more jokes. I missed that, I miss Friday Ken.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Well he was putting a meat loaf in during break
or then doing his laundry during break. Ken got at home. No,
I'm in when he was here in the building.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
When I when I anchored for them five hundred years ago.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Oh yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Those are some of the best of times.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
They were the worst of times, mostly the best of times.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
It was good time.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
Special, Miss dis Uh, it's dis exploring misinformation.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Into like, uh, what do you call that?
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Minimal I'm very in.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
The minimalist like he said, she said, they said.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
I want it to be just short to the point. Yeah,
Miss disc.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
We do comes up with these is it your is it?
Speaker 5 (25:24):
It's usually it's in some sort of a drunken stupor
or a blackout or something, and then Jacob's like, so
what's it going to be? And then something happens and
then I wake up. Jacob has a logo.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Oh yeah, sounds like Jacob's drugging you.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
So that's like, it's usually usually it's usually it's usually
something happens, I usually self medicate, usually self medicate, and
then Jacob knows he's got to clean up the mess.
And then he's just like going okay, and the next
thing I know, there's artwork. It's like wow, it's just
like this creative process.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
That you don't get to see.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
But anyway, explain the difference what the way that you
see it between misinformation and.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
So misinformation is think of it as miss mistake. So
misinformation is usually just wrong information, sloppy information, sloppy journalism,
reckless journalism, helpful and so if you look at it
that way, it's just information that wasn't there's no malice
behind it, whereas disinformation, think of distor and it's it's
very intentional, it's very malicious.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
So it's like, did Hillary Clinton know those emails were
classified or was she just dumb and sent them along
not knowing they were classified. That would be the difference
between miss and disc Right.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Well, whether whatever she did that's an actionable thing, it's
how it was reported would be the miss or the.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Disc No, I know, I'm just trying to you know,
there's a mistake and then there's noingly mistake, right, putting
it out.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
There, and we thought it was specially important with the
election coming up. So it's actually a four hour show,
the first two hours this Sunday, the second two hours
the following Sunday. And we've spoke to the head of
BBC Verify in London and they created an entire unit
after the Ukrainian War broke out Ukraine Russia War, because
(27:05):
there were so many videos out there that were doctored
and altered and so they had to put this unit
together to actually decide whether or not what they're seeing
is the truth. And so from there then we talked
to another group here in the United States. Tegna is
a multimedia company that owns a bunch of radio stations
(27:26):
digital platforms. They also have one called verify this dot
Com and they have a group of journalists that get
together and they verify information before it goes out.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
So this sounds like a.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Higher version, a higher platform of perhaps Snopes dot com
or something like that.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Yeah, it's Snope started out as kind of a goofy
little thing, but it's it's legit. I mean, Snope's is
totally legit, but they were doing like rumors and stuff
like that. This Verify this and like BBC verify. Now
that's pretty hardcore news stuff that comes in video, and
you know, then we get into deep fake and the
(28:05):
actually the origin of the word deep fake came from
a deep dive into fake news. And so I interview
a computer scientists from Northwestern University. We talked about media
literacy because in order to understand what you're seeing and
consuming as a you know, in the news, it's important
to understand how to consume the news. And it's this
(28:30):
point now where you have to spend time, unfortunately verifying
what you see.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
You have to go into it with a certain amount
of skepticism, which is probably not necessarily the healthy weight
to consume. I mean, thirty years ago, twenty years ago,
we didn't have the level of skepticism about whether it's
national news, local news, whatever. We just didn't have that.
We didn't have to have that level of skepticism.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Trust in journalism is lower now than trust in the
Senate and Congress.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Did you hear that on this show, because we talked
about that on Tuesday.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
I did not, but I saw a report on it,
and so I was looking at that and it's one
of those where people are with social media. Social media
really changed the game for everybody. And now with AI
and the access to the democracy democratization of AI, everyone
can use it now. So people can sit there and
create fake videos and look at all the stuff that's
(29:27):
going on with Kamala Harris and Donald Trump and all
the how quickly people were able to create these.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Fake videos walking together on the beach.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
Yeah, and what about the Brett Bear the Brett Bear
and Kamala Harris interview. Have you seen that the new
video of what really happened? They say, this is what
really happened. I mean, there's stuff that's screwing things up.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
There's a great one of two of Tago Violoa's face
on Jim Carrey's character from ace Ventura.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Silly.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
So anyway, first two hours on this Sunday from two
to four missed this, and then the second part the
following Sunday from two to four, and it's just it's
one of those really sit there and listen to it.
It's we've got some great experts in the field, subject
matter experts talking about it to make you try to
let you become a better informed viewer.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
You know what, this is going to be very helpful Steve,
I hope so yeah, very good. Good timing too. I
think two to four this Sunday, two to four next Sunday. Alls, yep, awesome,
thanks guys up next all of our trending stories.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
What your mica? Still we're we're not being serious again?
Oh wow?
Speaker 1 (30:35):
I thought we got this serious stuff out of the way.
We ate our vegetables.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
I don't know anymore. Hell, I don't even you know.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
The voice used for unsolved, like Steve is that.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
It makes no sense? Is that how I do it?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (30:53):
And you slow it down.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
Google Unsolved. It's a cacabani down with Steve Goog.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
It's a regionalism. My god, Hello, we're not doing any
of this.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
I've never come I'm not going to come on. I'm
not gonna be allowed to come on anymore. That's just it.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Well, come on, you're a grown man, Steve.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Thank you, blessings.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
While listening to the show. Today.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
An awful story out of Lancaster Investigating authorities investigating the
death of a seven year old boy found shot to
death in a home believed that he had gone to
a friend's house. Don't know if he found a gun.
They were playing with a gun. Exactly what happened. The
deputies responded to a home on Dahalia Street yesterday found
the seven year old boy with a critical gunshot wound.
(01:36):
He was pronounced dead at the scene there by the paramedics.
France is expressing concern about growing military cooperation between North
Korea and Russia after South Korean intelligence said that the
North was deploying many troops to support Moscow's war in Ukraine.
The Foreign Ministry spokesman for France set an increase in
(01:57):
North Korean cross cooperation in military support for the Russian
war effort is very worrying. Earlier today, the spy agency
out of South Korea said that North Korea has been
sending large scaled troops to support Moscow's war in Ukraine.
Fifteen hundred special forces from North Korea already in the
far East of Russia and undergoing training.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Kamala Harris is bringing out the big guns. That's where
we kick off Swamp watch.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
The swamp is horrible.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
The government doesn't work. Man gonna make it like a
reality TV show. Bad news.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, d C.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Hey, Joe, A town all too clearly built on a
swamp and in so many ways still a swamp.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I have a batch of Malarkeebody.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Said, drained the swamp, I said, Oh, that's so hell.
Speaker 6 (02:48):
You know the thing.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Well. The Obamas will make their first campaign appearances alongside
at Kamala Harris next week at rallies in Georgia and Michigan.
Democrats have long waited to deploy the former first couple
of surrogates for Kamala Harris. She remained the country's most
popular political figures on that sign.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Interesting, do you believe that Obama is in charge of
the Democratic Party?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
It would make me feel better than if Joe Biden
was at the helm.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Well, there is that.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
One of the things that Kamala Harris has been able
to do in the campaign over the last couple of
days is continue to go after Donald Trump, specifically as
opposed to laying out specific policies, as opposed to drawing
people to the Democratic Party. She's they both do it,
but she's feeding the meat to her base by saying
that Donald Trump is the threat to democracy.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
He who has vowed, if re elected, he will be
a dictator on day one, that he will weaponize the
Department of just against his political enemies. He who calls
Americans who disagree with him the enemy from within and
(04:11):
yes and says that if re elected, he would use
the military to go after them.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
It's interesting how we're using the words we associate with
our fiercest enemies to speak about fellow Americans, whether it's fascist, dictator,
or communist. We're describing the people that are going to
run this country as the adjectives we use to describe
our worst enemies.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Right, did you think of the lap of the last
one hundred plus years of the world. Those are the
people who have created, started been responsible for some of
the worst atrocities, starting the world wars.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Those are the people.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
And that's the language that we use for our political
opponents here.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I mean, what else are you going to do?
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Everything is everything is stood up supercharged. It's got to
be turbocharged superlatives. That's what we work in. You can't
just the best or the worst have a cordial disagreement
with anybody anymore. No, she also Kamala Harris. Actually she
We've played plenty of Trump gaffes that has that have occurred.
Speaker 6 (05:20):
She's stood up to veterans and stood up for excuse me,
stood up for veterans and students being scammed.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Now, that was kind of a funny thing because the
big headlines about how she's that's not ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
It really isn't. It's it's like when he got raped
over the Coles for saying Ashley Babbitt died, nobody died.
It's like, it's obviously just misspeaking. And you know what,
you and I do it all the time.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Easy, not you and I, You and me.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
We're going to get a lot, a lot.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
But don't forget these people are talking now, especially as
we get closer to election day. They're talking three four
five hours a day. You're gonna catch them, You're gonna
get them to say something stupid, and that just happened
to be one of them. One of the big deals
that came out from the Democratic National Committee is that
(06:15):
they're using Taylor Swift's Miami Era's tour shows for a
big voter push.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Not a huge.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Surprise considering Taylor Swift has come out and supported Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
She posted a video Taylor Swift read into this what
you will. If you want to read nothing into it,
that's fine too. But she posted a video about an
hour ago on social media of her and the cameras
shooting her as she's walking into the stadium and it's
her backside and she's just walking and wear jeans on
(06:46):
a sweater or something, and then it flips around to
the front of Taylor Swift and she's holding her cat
and she's petting her cat and she's inside the stadium
and it's like getting ready for the Miami Eras tour
or what have you. And you can didn't do it that.
That's like I'm a cat lady kind of a thing. Right,
going back against what Vance said she wants the president
(07:07):
to be a woman of color. Why because the cat's
name is Olivia Benson? Is it isn't that? Wasn't that
the name from SVU?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
No? Is that who it is? So I'm thinking of
the wrong show. Then what show were you thinking of
where what's her face? Was?
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:28):
President?
Speaker 4 (07:29):
No, it's Kerrie Washington and she wasn't the president she
was she was dad around with the president.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
You're ruining all of this? Was it a dog dad?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Olivia Benson is the character from SVUDD Law and Order SVU.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah, okay, also show I've never seen.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
You've never seen Law and Order s VU. You've never
seen that program?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Correct?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Wow? Is it because you hate women with badges?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
No? I like Marisco Argetary. I think how could you.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Know that you like Mariska Hargetar without seeing that show.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Let's pump this. This is apparently a trigger for you.
I didn't know that. Let's talk about this.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
It's a great show. I'm not saying I think you'd
really like that show.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Is it better than this show? Because?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yeah? Okay, set the bar high.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
God, Speaking of which, no, enough time. I don't know
why you think that I was watching Tyra Banks in
a bikini earlier.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Come on, Shannon, you ragged on poor Gary because he
looked at a hot pretty woman. And I promise you
I could almost guarantee my life that if it was
a man in his show knees and he had junk
in the trunk.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Oh and he had a six pack. Now, let's eight pack.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
You would be doing the same darn thing.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Yeah, right, exactly My point.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
No, you would admit it knowing you.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Yes. And the point was when we were talking about
the Victoria Secret Runway Show or whatever, and Gary's like,
I wouldn't spend one minute looking at that, and I'm like,
but if it was on, you'd probably look at it
just because it's pretty girls in lingerie. And he's like, no,
and so that's my way.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
No, I just I'm not going to go search it
out right.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Right, right, But I just saw your face go to
that screen when that pretty girl in the lingerie was
on this morning, and so it proved my point and
it made me feel good in a weird way.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
That is a weird way for good.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
The Texas Supreme Court halted in execution yesterday of Robert Roberson.
This is a guy who was convicted of killing his
two year old daughter. And the reason they halted the
execution was not because of the case, at least not yet.
There was an intervention from a group of members of
the Texas State House of Representatives. They actually issued a
(10:02):
subpoena for this guy this death Row inmate to testify
before the legislature coming up on Monday. So that is
there's a procedural question of can the legislative arm of
the Texas state government somehow get involved in the executions
(10:24):
of inmates by requiring them to appear before a House
or Senate committee hearing. So that led to this decision,
not the facts of this case. Because the execution could
not be carried out before midnight last night, they're going
to have to go through and set a new date.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Right now, the Santa Ana wins are supposed to be
at their peak whipping through the area. Obviously, temperatures are
going to be up. Concerns about possible wildfires as well.
They say mid to late morning today, the strongest winds
will be in the usual Santa Ana prone area's Highway
fourteen corridor, San Gabriel Mountains west during San Fernando Valley,
(11:01):
Simi Valley, Kinejo Valley, Santa Monica Mountains, Malibu, especially east
of Point Doom.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
There.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
They say win's going to peak about fifty five miles
per hour.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
So former President Trump has come out against Special Council
Jack Smith and the judge overseeing the election subversion case
out of DC. The decision that came out today was
the judge unsealed about nineteen hundred pages of evidence that
Special Council Jack Smith put together in putting this election
(11:33):
interference case together, posting it online. But almost every single
page of the nineteen hundred pages is completely redacted, which
means you can't see a word. Many of the pages
fully unviewable. They said that there is still a little
from what you can see, it's a little tiny window
(11:56):
into how wide ranging this case is. Most of what
you can see in the new documents are already out there,
transcripts from the January sixth committee, some press releases from
Secretaries of State, texts of Trump's rally speech, and the
phone call with officials in Georgia, election certificates that showed
(12:18):
President Biden was the winner of twenty twenty. One of
those exhibits appears to review much of the Twitter activity
activity from the period of the election. The judge released
this information despite objections from former President Trump, saying that
this desire to shield the information because of election amounted
to its own form of interference. But Trump took the
(12:39):
truth social and said, quote, this is the judge is
the most evil person who's on a radio show also
and said the judge is allowing him to do it,
him being Jack Smith, and it's not even believable. This
guy is a sick puppy and they're going to release
something else. And always before the election, it's election interference.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Kamala Harris spend the week partition of the week trying
to woo black voters, going to Detroit. She's gone to
Michigan six times. People, the feedback is rolling in. It's
not all great. Black voters still skeptical. And one of
the pieces of damning evidence that came out that that's
(13:22):
going to be a problem is that most polls show
that Americans do favor Trump over Harris on the issue
of the economy. That's going to be a problem. She's
also losing ground because of the ag DA whole situation.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
How you can't change that, You cannot change that, right,
And I don't.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Know if Barack and Michelle are bridge that.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Gap for her.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Another problem that she had when she was in Detroit is, uh,
people felt like she was this is according to the
exit surveys or what have you, there that she was
in and then she was out she came for the
photo op and then left without hearing from people in Detroit,
(14:17):
So they feel abandoned by her, that she needs to
spend more time with them.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Yeah, and if one of her big pitches is just
don't sit this one out, that's not a way to do.
It's not a way to garner enthusiasm for your for yourself.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Well, I read something yesterday after noon about how it's
all going to come down to turn out, and that
she has the edge in that regard that Democrats are
more likely to turn out than all of Trump's.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
People wonder what that is?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
That part is part of that because they think the
election is rigged, that it can't be trusted. Yes, I
mean because he's done himself. No favors in repeating that
over and over.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
But I wonder what those numbers would have been like
in Midgell Democrats were not excited to go vote, right.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Oh, there were no voter enthusiasm. Yeah, I don't know,
but that just traditionally Democrats are better at turning out
the vote.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
All Right, some layoffs at Meta, but also Amazon says, hey, guys,
five days a week at the office is not slave driving.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Maybe we you know, work again.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
That's weird. Could you imagine if there were people here today?
Cool story for the Mets tonight. Gotta hand this one
to them. This is a cool thing that they have
done there in New York. They are going to sing
my Girl at Game five tonight of the NLCS, and
(15:44):
the Temptations will be there to do so. They will
perform the Star Spangled banner before the Mets play the Dodgers.
Immediately after the national anthem, they will perform my Girl.
Why Francisco Lindor switched his walk up music before play
appearances to My Girl in late May, just before the
Mets turned around their season following a slow start. That's
(16:08):
pretty cool. I like it when they do stuff like that.
What a strange thing to have changed your walk up
song too. Yeah, there's probably some personal story about it.
There's also Grimace that one Donald's Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Apparently throughout the first pitch sometime in late June, and
from that point to the end of the season the
Mets had the best record in baseball.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I think something along those lines.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I don't like these little magical touches. It's all super
I mean, I do like it.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
That's what's great about the Baseball Super Sessions, they don't.
I mean the rally Monkey and Anaheim for a long
time and doing the Freddy and the dugout. Yeah, I
love all of it.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I just don't like it when the other team has
the little bits of magic.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Why is this a Why is this considered a news story?
Reaba Macaire finds herself behind the Bar and her latest
return to Network TV, making a series that's a nicely
calibrated cocktail of drama and comedy.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Hey, you know, like when I say things and you
look at me like you're gonna get into trouble, I
really want to get you off this hill that you're
dying on. That is the anti Reba McIntyre hill, because
a lot of people love Riba McIntyre, and I don't
want them to think bad things about you for your
tone whenever you talk about her.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
Happiest Place premieres tonight and finds Reba's character Bobby inheriting
a Tennessee tavern from her recently past father. That sounds
great and finding out in the first episode that he
had a second family. Even more alarming is the fact
that her dad left ownership of the bar to both
Bobby and her sister is a Bella played by Belissa Escobeto.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
And that's the other family, the sisters from the other family.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
Adding to the tension is that the two women are
divided by a generation or two.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Oh yeah, this looks really good.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
NBC must have all the confidence in the world.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Looks great to debut it on a Friday night Happies place.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
This looks like fun. I'll watch this. I love Riba McIntyre.
I don't think my money, I.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Don't think that you do, and I don't think you'll
watch a minute of that show.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I remember when I was at the Country Music Hall
of Fame, or was it the Grand all Lopry where
they have the sequin dress she wore when she sang
fancy the Amcaca something American Country Music Awards.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
The Academy of Country Music Awards of Men's tiny.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
She's a tiny little thing. That's part of the reason
I don't like Riba.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
In your pecking order hair coups, you want me to
list them? Yeah, so there's Diane Keaton. She's probably at
the top of the list. Go on, Reba McIntyre, yep,
Terry Hatcher, I never remember if you love her or
hate her?
Speaker 4 (19:07):
There was an accusation that I was a little too
in love with her, oh circa like two thousand and four. Right,
So if I had, if I had to choose between.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Diane clear type, what does that mean? Tall and pretty
and brunette, that's the what I married? Thin and tall
and and brunette. Right, yeah, okay, right, you married you
married one of them.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
She was the one. She was the first.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Married one of them.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
This is quite the Hobson's choice between Diane Keaton and
Raba McIntyre.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
So really that's all that's I would I would have said,
Diane a clear winner.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
What is the what is what is the what is
the question?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Who you hate the most?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Who turns you off the most?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Like?
Speaker 4 (20:01):
If how fast would I run away from a show
involving that actress?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Probably faster away things wearing a hat, yeah, probably fast?
Speaker 4 (20:16):
And a vest yeah yeah I know, and baggy pants,
plunky shoes yeah no, probably her probably. Okay, we just
completely well, I'll just say this that the CEO. Matt Garman,
the CEO of Amazon Web Services, says nine out of
ten workers he has spoken with support a new policy
that if you don't like working five days a week
(20:38):
in office GTFO and don't let the door hit you
on the way out. What a refreshing way to think
of work in America. Hey, guys, five days at the office.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Did you hear about Meta firing a bunch of staff
members who abused their twenty five dollars meal vouchers? Yes,
apparently they were given vouchers and they were purchasing non
meals with them. They were purchasing like household items with
them or something, and so they were fired.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Part of it is companies, those tech companies all gave
away everything scooters in the ping pong tables, free foods,
free massages, nap cubicles and things.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Like that, and then realize that other, you.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
Know, less scrupulous employees would take advantage of their generosity.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
And metastaff are given daily allowances of twenty dollars for breakfast,
twenty five for lunch, and twenty five for dinner, similar
perks to what other large tech companies offer workers on
top of their typical compensation. That's a lot of money
on food a day. I'd be buying household items too.
(21:53):
I was talking about football, which is another job that
I do. It was work related, No, yes.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Not an excuse. Now, who were you talking to?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Brian Blackmore, who runs the operations?
Speaker 5 (22:11):
All who runs the operations? He runs the operations.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Actually don't have any idea what Brian does, but I
know it's very important.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
His place would not be here without him.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
I'll tell you something. He's one of those guys that
you know behind the scenes, especially for Dodgers Baseball and
stuff like that. He's always here in the office, you know,
stressing because nothing can go wrong, right, nothing can happen
because there's so much money writing on us.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Absolutely no, he is hands on deck. He's one of
those people that never left the building.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Reminder, go ahead, Steve, it's something important. Fun to say. No,
that would be what it is Friday, which means it's
what you want. What you learned this week on the
Gary and Shannon Joe let us know via the talkback
feature on the iHeart App.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
We'll get to that late in the show.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Steve, I was very upset when.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
We hear a promo for the special, but we didn't
even get a heads up that the special was coming.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
I apologize. It's been a busy week, I am. I
barely got that promo done. I'm still editing the show. Yeah,
I'm sorry about that, because you guys are always good
about helping out and I dropped the ball on out.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah you did, Steve. I apologize. I think that we
should be higher up on the list of priorities.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
But you know I.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Finished the special. Tell Gary and Channon.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
What have an idea for the special?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Tell Gary and chann right, and then produce it except
their input.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Right, we are the ones who got unsolved rolling so.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
And I openly credit you for that. I always do.
I say it was a show that started by accident
thanks to the Gary and Channon Show. But beautiful, gotta
be careful because apparently the talk goes around it when
I come on that, uh we don't get serious enough.
Oh really yeah, oh I didn't get serious topics that
(24:03):
we're too busy laughing.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Let me find some serious music. Let me see if
I can.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I feel like we're super serious, especially on Fridays.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Every time Steve.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
S I got it from Ken like the John and
Ken Show. If you didn't notice, this is something I
picked up on years ago. Is Ken starts off the
week very serious. On Monday, He's all buttoned up, nothing
but the facts. No fun. But by Friday Ken lets loose.
Anything goes. He flies fast and loose on a Friday. Jokes,
(24:39):
funny things, more jokes. I missed that, I miss Friday Ken.
Speaker 5 (24:44):
Well he was putting a meat loaf in during break
or then doing his laundry during break. Ken got at home. No,
I'm in when he was here in the building.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
When I when I anchored for them five hundred years ago.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Oh yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Those are some of the best of times.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
They were the worst of times, mostly the best of times.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
It was good time.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
Special, Miss dis Uh, it's dis exploring misinformation.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Into like, uh, what do you call that?
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Minimal I'm very in.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
The minimalist like he said, she said, they said.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
I want it to be just short to the point. Yeah,
Miss disc.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
We do comes up with these is it your is it?
Speaker 5 (25:24):
It's usually it's in some sort of a drunken stupor
or a blackout or something, and then Jacob's like, so
what's it going to be? And then something happens and
then I wake up. Jacob has a logo.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Oh yeah, sounds like Jacob's drugging you.
Speaker 5 (25:38):
So that's like, it's usually usually it's usually it's usually
something happens, I usually self medicate, usually self medicate, and
then Jacob knows he's got to clean up the mess.
And then he's just like going okay, and the next
thing I know, there's artwork. It's like wow, it's just
like this creative process.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
That you don't get to see.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
But anyway, explain the difference what the way that you
see it between misinformation and.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
So misinformation is think of it as miss mistake. So
misinformation is usually just wrong information, sloppy information, sloppy journalism,
reckless journalism, helpful and so if you look at it
that way, it's just information that wasn't there's no malice
behind it, whereas disinformation, think of distor and it's it's
very intentional, it's very malicious.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
So it's like, did Hillary Clinton know those emails were
classified or was she just dumb and sent them along
not knowing they were classified. That would be the difference
between miss and disc Right.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Well, whether whatever she did that's an actionable thing, it's
how it was reported would be the miss or the.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Disc No, I know, I'm just trying to you know,
there's a mistake and then there's noingly mistake, right, putting
it out.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
There, and we thought it was specially important with the
election coming up. So it's actually a four hour show,
the first two hours this Sunday, the second two hours
the following Sunday. And we've spoke to the head of
BBC Verify in London and they created an entire unit
after the Ukrainian War broke out Ukraine Russia War, because
(27:05):
there were so many videos out there that were doctored
and altered and so they had to put this unit
together to actually decide whether or not what they're seeing
is the truth. And so from there then we talked
to another group here in the United States. Tegna is
a multimedia company that owns a bunch of radio stations
(27:26):
digital platforms. They also have one called verify this dot
Com and they have a group of journalists that get
together and they verify information before it goes out.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
So this sounds like a.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Higher version, a higher platform of perhaps Snopes dot com
or something like that.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Yeah, it's Snope started out as kind of a goofy
little thing, but it's it's legit. I mean, Snope's is
totally legit, but they were doing like rumors and stuff
like that. This Verify this and like BBC verify. Now
that's pretty hardcore news stuff that comes in video, and
you know, then we get into deep fake and the
(28:05):
actually the origin of the word deep fake came from
a deep dive into fake news. And so I interview
a computer scientists from Northwestern University. We talked about media
literacy because in order to understand what you're seeing and
consuming as a you know, in the news, it's important
to understand how to consume the news. And it's this
(28:30):
point now where you have to spend time, unfortunately verifying
what you see.
Speaker 4 (28:36):
You have to go into it with a certain amount
of skepticism, which is probably not necessarily the healthy weight
to consume. I mean, thirty years ago, twenty years ago,
we didn't have the level of skepticism about whether it's
national news, local news, whatever. We just didn't have that.
We didn't have to have that level of skepticism.
Speaker 5 (28:56):
Trust in journalism is lower now than trust in the
Senate and Congress.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Did you hear that on this show, because we talked
about that on Tuesday.
Speaker 5 (29:04):
I did not, but I saw a report on it,
and so I was looking at that and it's one
of those where people are with social media. Social media
really changed the game for everybody. And now with AI
and the access to the democracy democratization of AI, everyone
can use it now. So people can sit there and
create fake videos and look at all the stuff that's
(29:27):
going on with Kamala Harris and Donald Trump and all
the how quickly people were able to create these.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Fake videos walking together on the beach.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
Yeah, and what about the Brett Bear the Brett Bear
and Kamala Harris interview. Have you seen that the new
video of what really happened? They say, this is what
really happened. I mean, there's stuff that's screwing things up.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
There's a great one of two of Tago Violoa's face
on Jim Carrey's character from ace Ventura.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Silly.
Speaker 5 (29:56):
So anyway, first two hours on this Sunday from two
to four missed this, and then the second part the
following Sunday from two to four, and it's just it's
one of those really sit there and listen to it.
It's we've got some great experts in the field, subject
matter experts talking about it to make you try to
let you become a better informed viewer.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
You know what, this is going to be very helpful Steve,
I hope so yeah, very good. Good timing too. I
think two to four this Sunday, two to four next Sunday. Alls, yep, awesome,
thanks guys up next all of our trending stories.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
What your mica? Still we're we're not being serious again?
Oh wow?
Speaker 1 (30:35):
I thought we got this serious stuff out of the way.
We ate our vegetables.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
I don't know anymore. Hell, I don't even you know.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
The voice used for unsolved, like Steve is that.
Speaker 5 (30:48):
It makes no sense? Is that how I do it?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (30:53):
And you slow it down.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
Google Unsolved. It's a cacabani down with Steve Goog.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
It's a regionalism. My god, Hello, we're not doing any
of this.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
I've never come I'm not going to come on. I'm
not gonna be allowed to come on anymore. That's just it.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Well, come on, you're a grown man, Steve.
