Speaker 1 (00:00):
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. His mother said he used to
steal his brother's shoulder pads and run into telephone polls
on purpose.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Oh, I mean I love stories like that. I knew
kids like.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
That, sure, but like, how how long can you run
like that? With that kind of physicality and violence? Do
you remember the movie Parenthood with Steve Martin, Mary, Steve Virgin.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, there was a kid in that show, yes, who
put the bucket on his head and would run into stuff. Yeah,
that's what I envision.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yeah, I mean I credit that movie for basically making
my life decision not to have kids.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I think my wife is too much fell in love
with Steve Steve Martin and then married to you because
of it.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
You've all before I knew you, you reminded me of
Steve Martin, a young Steve Martin, or.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
You knew me before this show? Oh oh oh really,
I don't think i've.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
You look before I knew you like a young Steve Martin.
Now that I know you have zero comedic talent, you
look nothing like him.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Oh thank you I.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Just got one thing to say, what moyst Okay, where
did that come from?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Sir? Nobody asked for that.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
I'm with Gary on this one. Fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals. And
remember Trinan was warming up in the bullpen. Excellent's lucky
he threw that ball away.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Excellent, Good Friday. I'll say this, I think this is
probably the best descriptor of what I'm trying to say here.
An acknowledge, of course, that the Dodgers won the game
last Good morning.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Gary Shannon. This is Angie in Ontario, so technically Gary
is correct. The Dodgers did not do anything to win
that game. Both runs were unearned runs. But that's baseball.
Touch the plate more. I guess today the Phillies test
at once. We tested twice, and we're going to the
(02:07):
championship series.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I mean, sometimes games are one with offense, sometimes they're
one with defense. Like I mentioned at the top of
the show, the two runs that scored or off a
walk in an error. You did not see the Dodgers
explosive bats last night at all.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Some games will some games will hit ten.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
They hit ten against the team before the Phillies, who
do they play before the Phillies start the Reds?
Speaker 5 (02:30):
You know?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I mean sometimes the bats come alive. They did not
last night, but not all games are won and lost
the same way.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
We'll see, We'll see what goes on. Go Cubbies. Well,
my team is in can Kun right now, so exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
But I don't think that your take on the team
on that win or loss or what have you. I
don't think that that was biased. I don't think that's
coming from a Giants fan. I think that's coming from
an independent baseball observer.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And if you're in, if you're in the locker room,
if you're a fan, your team is going to the
championship series. The league championship series is an amazing accomplishment.
Good for them how many times, like the eighth time.
But if you're if you're a player and you're in
that locker room, I mean, you're still excited. Obviously you're
going to the championship series. But how great would it
have been had it been and Andy Pa has doubled
(03:18):
down the line? Yeah, or taoscar Hernandez home run or something.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Like that, doesn't matter. They're all getting sprayed with champagne.
It burns just the same and it burns so good,
all right, Kevin Costner. Kevin Costner apparently got into what's
called a heated altercation with a Yellowstone co star, and
this was Wes Bentley, Yes, the one who plays the
(03:44):
son that everybody hates, the Attorney General. This fisticuffs resulted
in the production being briefly shut down. Of course, Kevin
Costner left everyone knew about it Yellowstone ahead of the
second half of the fifth and five final season, resulting
in his character being killed off spoiler alert. But his
(04:06):
exit came amid reports of a falling out with Taylor
Sheridan over scheduling issues. There was a new report about
Costner in the Hollywood Reporter. The headline is how Kevin
Costner lost Hollywood. It's exhaustive, but in that report they
claimed that Kevin Costner was pushing Bentley, who plays the
(04:27):
son on Yellowstone, and was pushing him to ditch Sheridan's
script in one scene in favor of Costner's own take,
but that didn't go over with the co star, Wes Bentley.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, Wes Bentley's comes in and he says, hey, buddy
to Kevin Costner. I signed up for a Taylor Sheridan show,
not a Kevin Costner show. Kevin didn't like that, and
he lunged at him.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
No fists were thrown, but they were in each other's faces,
pushing and shoving and just getting hot until they had
to be separated. Another co star, Kelly Riley, was in
tears over it.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I said she was Irish. Oh, she was in tears
over that. I said she was Irish. She's English apparently.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Wow, so you're just calling English people Irish people?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Now all people in the UK look alike?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
WHOA Yet two people tell you were wrong emphatically today
and now you're signing up for more of that. Bring
it on, Bring it on. You know I'm leaving early today.
You're going to be alone in this battle. I will
not be in the foxhole with you to read you scripture.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Well, that's why we do. What you learned this week
on the Gary and Shannon Show that I am perennially wrong.
That's one thing they said.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
The incident with Wes was the line in the sand.
Everything was different after that. Everyone loved Wes, which is funny.
So everyone loved the character that played the Attorney General,
who was like the most hated character interesting, so that
really made Taylor share an upset that Kevin Costner and
Taylor shared and butted heads from there on out.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
It got very awkward.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
You can kind of get that vibe from John Dutton
in the show.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Like I was kind of because I knew.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I knew that he had kind of gotten tired of
it and there was a falling out or whatever, and
that's why he was killed off and he wasn't in
the whole last season. And I remember, like leading up
to that, I was like, Yeah, Kevin Costner looks kind
of pissed off, like he looks like he's over this show.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
But maybe that was just my mind making things.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Up, but I kind of got that ny going to end,
I just got the vibe that he seemed over it.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Costner announced his departure June of last year, said it
was a scheduling conflict with his huge Western Horizon. Said
I did it for five years. I wanted to work
more than once a year. We lost an entire year.
At one point I thought that can't happen again. He
claimed that he left filming of his movie for a
whole month in order to shoot the rest of season
(06:56):
five of Yellowstone, but when he arrived there was no
and that's when things imploded. Taylor Sheridan said that Costner's
decision disappointed him as it truncates the closure of his character.
It was a clunky way to get rid of John
Dutton the way they did so, But how else are
you gonna What do you do? Do you just I
(07:20):
honestly thought that there was a time when they would
just not do a season five, just leave that thing open,
because in all honesty, it brings with that sort of mystery,
brings with it Artistically, I think it brings a good
lot of questions and it continues the discussion. Financially, it
(07:40):
makes zero sense. They were rolling in the money and
there's no way that they would not make a season five.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
A couple of stories that we are following. Nobel Prize
for Peace was handed out today. It actually went to
Maria Corina, Shadow of Venezuela. They said that she is
a woman who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid
a growing darkness. She dedicated her prize to the Venezuelan
people and to President Trump for his decisive support of
(08:14):
the cause. New York's Attorney General, Letitia James indicted by
a federal grand jury in Virginia. We'll talk more about
it when we get into swamp Watch, because this case,
they said, actually echoes ironically the case that she brought
against Donald Trump. She was charged with one count of
bank fraud, one count of making false statements to a
financial institution. The President has said that she falsely claimed
(08:40):
that a home in Virginia was her second residence, which
allowed her to get more favorable loan terms, and that
she had rented the property, et cetera. So we'll talk
more about it again at the top of the top
of the hour. Dodgers do advance to the NLCS. They
won an extra innings against the Phillies and the Cubs
also beat the Brewers that actually forced a game five.
(09:00):
Whoever wins tomorrow's game between the Brewers and Cubs five
pm in Milwaukee actually will face the Dodgers in the
NLCS starting on Monday, And we don't know where yet
because if the Brewers win, it's going to be in Milwaukee.
If the Cubs win, it will be in Los Angeles.
And what time is that game? Again five o'clock, five
o'clock tonight at five Tiger's Mariners game five.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
You're doing at five o'clock our time? Yeah wow, So
that's it's a late start. Is that always the way
it is on the East Coast? Like eight o'clock at night?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Oh yeah wow. That's why you love living on the
West Coast. It is sports. I can't I can't stay
up that late for all this stuff. We have a
chance for you to win a thousand bucks. Here's how

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Katie Porter is having a rough week. First it was
the sit down interview she did where she appears to
cut it off because she doesn't want to answer questions.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
She gets combative with the reporter. It was a bad look.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Then in older video surfaces showing her lose her s
on a staffer for getting into quoting her quoting here,
getting into her effing shot. Get out of my shot.
It's an awful look. And now we've got another one
where she's frustrated with staff members over bright studio lighting.
So this is the third controversial video featuring the front
(10:57):
runner for California governor this week.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Oh yes, this is why I.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Didn't want to do.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I need the lights off, the bright lights. I'm so sorry,
but I am about to get on Berdad. I need
you to turn these off that are killing me. Hang
on one second, everybody, lights go completely off? Yes, yes,
we should have yes, Okay, everybody, I'm not that dark.
(11:22):
If she's doing that slow simmer thing where she's just as.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
She's oh, you can tell she goes from zero to
one hundred and twenty real quick. You can see why
she dumped hot mashed potatoes on her now ex husband.
She has a temper problem, and she did go to
anchor management at point and this is what the product is.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
She should get her money back. Well, I wonder what
she's not yelling no, but she, as you said, that
is a quiet simmer.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
That is the Palisades fire between the days of January
first and January seventh. She's about to erupt and she's
going to go scorch to earth on those people. Gosh, wow,
I wonder how quickly how many times a day she
goes from zero to one hundred like that, Like, I
wonder if it's quick to happen, or if like that's
(12:18):
the third such instance where she's she's tested, she's frustrated,
she's annoyed with people or whatever, and then she blows
or if she.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Just blows and blows and blows and we know people, right,
I'm sure everybody has somebody like this in their life
where if you point out this, I mean, I I'd
love to know what's going on today with Katie Porter
and the people that she's talking to running for governors
keeping this stuff and she's demanding to know the leak
and all. Well, when you point out to someone that
(12:50):
they are angry or that they look back, you know
you're you're you're completely overblowing the situation. Nobody ever comes
down from that and they go, oh, you're right, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't if they if she's doing this over something
like lighting in a shot on a zoom call that
I mean, that doesn't really matter. You tell her she's
(13:12):
making the mountain out of a mole hill and she's
gonna make Mount Everest. Well, that's the thing. I don't.
I don't think that she takes to that con.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
I don't think anyone's telling her, hey, you're you're acting crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
It's a little too much. Like sometimes she goes like this,
you want mashed potatoes? Is that what you want? You
want the mashed potatoes. You'll do that to me sometimes.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
So you'll be like, okay, all right, and you'll put
your hands up like Katie Porter puts their hands.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Up, and you'll be like, all right, this is unnecessarily.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Aggressive, and I will be like, you know what, you're right,
like I'm overreacting or what have you? Right, don't I
don't double down. I usually backpedal, right.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I'll say the second or third time I say something
is usually when you go, okay, you're probably right. But
immediately sometimes double down.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
That's not sometimes, yes, Can I ask about the mashed potatoes?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah? So there was a report.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I believe it was in the divorce when Katie Porter
got divorced from her now ex husband, where he was
claiming all sorts of abuse and says that she has
an anger problem. She flies off the handle. At one
point she dumped hot mashed potatoes on him.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
That's amazing.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Well, it's you know what it is is My problem
with it is this. I love mashed potatoes me too.
I think they're delicious. My husband makes the best mashed
potatoes with all the garlic and all the butter, and
it's my favorite at the holidays, and for her to
waste them like that is egregious.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Uh expect. I don't know if it's true or not.
I'm just predicting. There will be at least two poles
coming out next week in.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
The Governor's Raven. If they weren't planning it, she won't
be in love with it. You don't want her up
on that pole. Well, you don't need her on that pole.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I'm not sure that that pole is ready for all
of that. Oh to the main stage at Star Garden.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Ladies and gentlemen Tuesday through Friday, Friday night, that's Monday,
bring it day through Sunday.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Sheep.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
We can't, we can't, we can't, we can't even you know,
that's too much.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
That was too much. I apologize, I really do. I'd
like to walk that back. Great. Do we need a
palate cleanser? Do we need some Sherbet up in here?
Speaker 6 (15:31):
I love?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Isn't Sherbert great? Just maybe some oyster crackers or some
oyster crackers.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Well that's not really oyster crackers or just saltine buters,
puffy little bits of.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Cracker oysters crackers. Shannon will return for some other parts
of later in the show. I will return for later
parts in the show.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
As we've mentioned a couple of times, ceasefire has finally
taken effect in Gaza under a breakthrough deal. Bombardment stopped.
Israeli troops pulled back in Gaza today under this deal
reached between Israel and Hamas deal reached under pressure from
a bunch of Arab countries from the United States, from
Turkey and is trying to end this two year war
in Gaza. While that's going on, tens of thousands of
(16:22):
Palestinians are now moving back into what's left of some
of the northern Gaza Strip. Questions still remain over who
is going to govern Gaza. Those Israeli troops did pull
back a bit today, and whether or not HAMASA is
even going to disarm. The White House Budget Office is
that mass firings of federal workers started in an attempt
(16:44):
to exert more pressure on lawmakers as the government shutdown continues.
The director of the Office of Management and Buddy Buddies
the Office of Management and Budget says on the social
media site x that RIfS have begun, referring to reduction
in force plans. Now. There is a developing story out
(17:06):
of western Tennessee that we are following an explosion at
a military explosives company. This was in McEwan, Tennessee. The
explosion occurred this morning at a place called Accurate Energetic Systems.
It's about sixty miles outside of Nashville. Authority said some
secondary explosions have prevented rescuers from approaching the site. Caused
(17:30):
the explosion not yet known, but hello it's an explosives manufacturer.
Emergency crews have been able to have not been able,
i should say, to get into the area because of
the ongoing detonations. So the original reports out of Nashville
television station I saw said that there were nineteen people
unaccounted for, and that they're now saying that there are
(17:57):
excuse me, there are some deaths, but they do not
have a number. Residents several miles away said they heard
the explosion video shows flames and heavy smoke. I mean,
the images that are coming out of WTVF there in
Nashville have showed just absolute utter destruction. There's not a
(18:20):
section of these buildings that is still standing, and they
were using the big stuff. They were using obviously military
grade tnt C four and other kinds of explosive ingredients
in this explosion. So if there is an update, there
is an expectation that we're going to get an update
from rescue crews in that area soon. A continuation of
(18:43):
a story that we told you first about yesterday, several
people have come forward now to say that they were
victimized by this woman that they are describing as a
playboy or penthouse model, because that's how she describes herself.
The woman's name is Adva Lavi. She has been telling
people that she appeared in Playboy and Penthouse and claims
(19:06):
to be the first ever top Israeli OnlyFans model, and
then gains the victims trust before she steals from their homes.
Five to seven, one hundred and four, brown hair, brown eyes,
drives that black Porsche or a white Mercedes Benz, goes
by several aliases. And we told you about it. Shoshana
and Shanna and Mia and all those the Michael Sartaine,
(19:33):
is host of a local podcast, said that well, he
was a guest on an election night show of his podcast.
She went into the green room and stole his credit
cards and cash from the purses of all of the
female panelists. Said that she got up at the forty
five minute mark. She was gone for forty five minutes.
She just went through everyone's bag. Now there's another guy.
(19:58):
An adult film star named Odie Steele told KTLA that
he was victimized by this woman while working at a
party company. The company had hired a bunch of people
to go to France to work at an event and
put the group up in an Airbnb. He said while
they were there, this woman stole luxury items from him
and some others that were there. The French authorities were
(20:19):
called and after they investigated, they made her return all
of the items. She decided to pretty much rob everyone
in the group, essentially anything marked with a designer label. Now,
over the years, apparently this woman has been a fixture
at a bunch of charity events in La and Vegas
and has been known to threaten her victims to try
(20:42):
to keep them from going to police. And again this
Cody Steele guy said she'd threatened to file a sex
assault charge or say that the guy offered her money
for sex or something for that effect. She has been
in jail before. She was arrested last May on a
felony charge and then bailed out, but it's not clear
if the charge was related to any of these alleged burglaries.
They're specifically looking at her out in the Malibu Lost
(21:04):
Hills area, urging anybody who may have had some similar
interactions with this woman to come forward. Sheriff's department is
the one that's it's taken the lead on this. So
the whole playboy penthouse thing and that she's been involved
with charity events pretty actively. Is an added wrinkle to
(21:24):
all of this. Here we go. Coming up, there is
an alternate to the halftime show that's being planned, and
it's by an organization that's been in the news lately.
Not for the right reasons, but it's been in the
news lately. We'll tell you about Turning Point USA's halftime
show that they're planning to counter whatever NFL is going
(21:45):
to do with Bad Bunny.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
We are following today. Of course, the Middle East piece
ord has apparently taken hold. The Israeli military says this
ceasefire went into effect at noon Israel time today, setting
the stage for the release of remaining hostages. There will
be an influx of humanitarian aid that is expected to
go into Gaza as a result. We do expect to
(22:17):
see the hostages released either Monday or Tuesday, maybe a
combination of the both. Judge in Chicago's issued a temporary
restraining order to block the deployment of National Guard troops
in Illinois. In another case, one pertaining to Portland, Oregon,
the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals at least, the three
judge panel appeared likely to grant the request of the
(22:39):
administration to pause the lower court ruling that blocked its
efforts to deploy troops to Portland. Let's see, Subtropical Storm
Karen has formed now the eleventh named storm of the
twenty twenty five Atlantic hurricane season, raises concerns along the
east coast of the United States. And we've got a
couple here which brought got some showers to southern California
(23:01):
yesterday in a few areas, and could today and tomorrow
as well. The remnants of two hurricanes Priscilla and Okatave
have developed along another with another storm along the Mexican coast,
And in fact, the concern there is that as those
move closer to the United States, up along the border
(23:22):
through Baja, et cetera, that we're going to see a
bunch of flooding. In fact, the National Weather Service has
placed a moderate level three out of four flood risk
in Arizona today. The cities of Phoenix and Flagstaff, et cetera.
Also flood watches, i should say, for parts of southern California, Nevada,
southern Utah, southwestern Colorado, at etc. We're doing Gas Fantasy
(23:45):
for play coming up in the twelve o'clock hours, so
test your football knowledge. We've got four games Elmer's going
to pick for us, and we'll see if we can
pick the winners for all four of those games. Speaking of,
of course, super Bowl rolls along in February of next This.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Is George from Northridge. I'm seventy years old. I can't
remember the last time I sat down to see a
whole Super Bowl game. I used to enjoy the commercials,
but now I don't need to because I can just
look at them on YouTube. Now, as far as the
super Bowl's concerned, I really don't care that much about
(24:22):
who's in it. The other thing I really care about
the super Bowl at halftime is the puppy show.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Well thanks, George. Yeah. Counterprogramming to the super Bowl halftime
show has become kind of an industry in and of itself,
hasn't it. I mean, the original Super Bowl halftime shows
were not good. Literally the first super Bowl in January
of nineteen sixty seven at the Coliseum, they played music
(24:52):
like the Sound of Music soundtrack when the Saints go
Marching in Bury me not on the lone Prairie. They
even played part of the William Tell overture. Oh and
to give you an idea of what we'll talk about
here in terms of a more patriotic halftime show, they
(25:13):
also played the Liberty Bell March and March along together,
and this is My Country. The Grambling College Marching Band
and the US Chorus played that together. This is the
super Bowl four, which was actually played in New Orleans.
They did when the Saints Go Marching in again super
(25:35):
Bowl six, also in New Orleans, Ella Fitzgerald and al
Hurt came together to sing Mac the Knife. That's kind
of when it lost the most of its I guess
you could say patriotism. They did this Land is Your
Land in super Bowl seven by the University of Michigan
Marching Band. But that's what everybody thought halftimes were was
(25:56):
marching bands. And that's kind of how it changed when
you get into the eighties, et cetera, and you start
to see some more I guess the up with people
back in Super Bowl sixteen, God, that sounds awful. You
really didn't have a lot of celebrities in that halftime
(26:17):
show until say nineteen eighty seven, when they saluted Hollywood.
George Burns and Mickey Rooney were part of that one.
Super Bowl twenty two, Chubby Checker and the Rockets. I mean,
we didn't really get to see big name musical acts
until arguably Super Bowl twenty five. New Kids on the
(26:39):
Block came in and I was gonna say, knock the
socks off everybody. I couldn't tell you. I couldn't tell
you what was what that one was, Which one was
the one with Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson was twenty seven,
which was January of nineteen ninety three, and it was
here at the Rose Bowl. And that makes sense that
(27:02):
one was cool because he like he disappeared and appeared
on stage. It was amazing. Yeah, I still watched that video.
The one after that went full Country because it was
in Georgia, Clint Black, Tenya Tucker, Travis Tritt and the Judge.
Then you go back to Patty LaBelle, Teddy Pendergrass, Tony Bennett,
(27:23):
Miami Sound Machine in nineteen ninety five. I mean there again.
It started out with marching bands. Now it's gone all
the way to Bad Bunny, and Bad Bunny has been
chosen to be the halftime act for the next Super Bowl,
and he joked around that everybody's got four months to
learn Spanish. I guess turning points USA. This organization, of
(27:47):
course founded by Charlie Kirk, and I mentioned they've been
in the headlines unfortunately because of the assassination of Charlie
Kirk last month. They posted on yesterday on social media
plans to produce the All American halftime Show, and they
said that it's very clear it's going to be counter
programming to whatever you're going to see on the telecast
(28:10):
for the actual Super Bowl game. And when you look
for details, by the way they threw it up on
social media, there's a link that sends you to their
website and it asks you to just write your name,
your contact information, and what musical genre preference you have.
So they give you several options. Do you like Americana,
(28:34):
classic rock, country, hip hop, pop, or worship? Those different
was at six different genres, and then there's also a
category that says anything in English. I don't know if
they're just going to do it online, if there's a
(28:55):
channel that's going to pick us up, a cable channel
or whatever that's going to do this, but the counter
programming at halftime shows. As George mentioned right at the
beginning of that is kind of funny because you have
TV stations who have or cable channels whatever, who have
used the marketing lines, perhaps of the Super Bowl in
(29:20):
an attempt to draw viewers. Cartoon Network had some DIY
Network had one called Toilet Bowl that was all bathroom
related programming, Puppy Bowl Marathon, Doctor Pimple Popper does a
bunch of stuff that's counter programming for all of this.
They did a marathon of Glee, the TV show Glee,
(29:41):
and some Glee themed episodes of The Simpsons. Because there's
a belief that those people who like Glee, or who
like puppies, or who like doing toilet work on their
DIY afternoons, that they're not watching the super Bowl. And
I don't know that. I know a lot of people
who don't give two corny turns about football that are
(30:01):
going to watch the Super Bowl because it's more of
an event than it is. It's more about the event
than it is about the sporting even though they are
one and the same. Anyway, when we come back, we'll
get into swamp Watch. Don't forget today is Friday. So
what you learned this week on The Gary and Shannon Show.
If you're listening on the app, just hit that little
microphone and leaves us a talkback message comes right into
(30:23):
the computer here and at about twelve thirty will tell
you what you learned this week on The Gary and
Shannon Show. We'll continue right after this. You've been listening
to The Gary and Shannon Show, you can always hear
us live on KFI AM six forty nine am to
one pm every Monday through Friday, and anytime on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
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. His mother said he used to
steal his brother's shoulder pads and run into telephone polls
on purpose.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Oh, I mean I love stories like that. I knew
kids like.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
That, sure, but like, how how long can you run
like that? With that kind of physicality and violence? Do
you remember the movie Parenthood with Steve Martin, Mary, Steve Virgin.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, there was a kid in that show, yes, who
put the bucket on his head and would run into stuff. Yeah,
that's what I envision.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yeah, I mean I credit that movie for basically making
my life decision not to have kids.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I think my wife is too much fell in love
with Steve Steve Martin and then married to you because
of it.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
You've all before I knew you, you reminded me of
Steve Martin, a young Steve Martin, or.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
You knew me before this show? Oh oh oh really,
I don't think i've.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
You look before I knew you like a young Steve Martin.
Now that I know you have zero comedic talent, you
look nothing like him.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Oh thank you I.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Just got one thing to say, what moyst Okay, where
did that come from?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Sir? Nobody asked for that.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
I'm with Gary on this one. Fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals. And
remember Trinan was warming up in the bullpen. Excellent's lucky
he threw that ball away.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Excellent, Good Friday. I'll say this, I think this is
probably the best descriptor of what I'm trying to say here.
An acknowledge, of course, that the Dodgers won the game
last Good morning.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Gary Shannon. This is Angie in Ontario, so technically Gary
is correct. The Dodgers did not do anything to win
that game. Both runs were unearned runs. But that's baseball.
Touch the plate more. I guess today the Phillies test
at once. We tested twice, and we're going to the
(02:07):
championship series.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I mean, sometimes games are one with offense, sometimes they're
one with defense. Like I mentioned at the top of
the show, the two runs that scored or off a
walk in an error. You did not see the Dodgers
explosive bats last night at all.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Some games will some games will hit ten.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
They hit ten against the team before the Phillies, who
do they play before the Phillies start the Reds?
Speaker 5 (02:30):
You know?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I mean sometimes the bats come alive. They did not
last night, but not all games are won and lost
the same way.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
We'll see, We'll see what goes on. Go Cubbies. Well,
my team is in can Kun right now, so exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
But I don't think that your take on the team
on that win or loss or what have you. I
don't think that that was biased. I don't think that's
coming from a Giants fan. I think that's coming from
an independent baseball observer.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
And if you're in, if you're in the locker room,
if you're a fan, your team is going to the
championship series. The league championship series is an amazing accomplishment.
Good for them how many times, like the eighth time.
But if you're if you're a player and you're in
that locker room, I mean, you're still excited. Obviously you're
going to the championship series. But how great would it
have been had it been and Andy Pa has doubled
(03:18):
down the line? Yeah, or taoscar Hernandez home run or something.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Like that, doesn't matter. They're all getting sprayed with champagne.
It burns just the same and it burns so good,
all right, Kevin Costner. Kevin Costner apparently got into what's
called a heated altercation with a Yellowstone co star, and
this was Wes Bentley, Yes, the one who plays the
(03:44):
son that everybody hates, the Attorney General. This fisticuffs resulted
in the production being briefly shut down. Of course, Kevin
Costner left everyone knew about it Yellowstone ahead of the
second half of the fifth and five final season, resulting
in his character being killed off spoiler alert. But his
(04:06):
exit came amid reports of a falling out with Taylor
Sheridan over scheduling issues. There was a new report about
Costner in the Hollywood Reporter. The headline is how Kevin
Costner lost Hollywood. It's exhaustive, but in that report they
claimed that Kevin Costner was pushing Bentley, who plays the
(04:27):
son on Yellowstone, and was pushing him to ditch Sheridan's
script in one scene in favor of Costner's own take,
but that didn't go over with the co star, Wes Bentley.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, Wes Bentley's comes in and he says, hey, buddy
to Kevin Costner. I signed up for a Taylor Sheridan show,
not a Kevin Costner show. Kevin didn't like that, and
he lunged at him.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
No fists were thrown, but they were in each other's faces,
pushing and shoving and just getting hot until they had
to be separated. Another co star, Kelly Riley, was in
tears over it.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I said she was Irish. Oh, she was in tears
over that. I said she was Irish. She's English apparently.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Wow, so you're just calling English people Irish people?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Now all people in the UK look alike?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
WHOA Yet two people tell you were wrong emphatically today
and now you're signing up for more of that. Bring
it on, Bring it on. You know I'm leaving early today.
You're going to be alone in this battle. I will
not be in the foxhole with you to read you scripture.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Well, that's why we do. What you learned this week
on the Gary and Shannon Show that I am perennially wrong.
That's one thing they said.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
The incident with Wes was the line in the sand.
Everything was different after that. Everyone loved Wes, which is funny.
So everyone loved the character that played the Attorney General,
who was like the most hated character interesting, so that
really made Taylor share an upset that Kevin Costner and
Taylor shared and butted heads from there on out.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
It got very awkward.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
You can kind of get that vibe from John Dutton
in the show.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Like I was kind of because I knew.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I knew that he had kind of gotten tired of
it and there was a falling out or whatever, and
that's why he was killed off and he wasn't in
the whole last season. And I remember, like leading up
to that, I was like, Yeah, Kevin Costner looks kind
of pissed off, like he looks like he's over this show.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
But maybe that was just my mind making things.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Up, but I kind of got that ny going to end,
I just got the vibe that he seemed over it.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Costner announced his departure June of last year, said it
was a scheduling conflict with his huge Western Horizon. Said
I did it for five years. I wanted to work
more than once a year. We lost an entire year.
At one point I thought that can't happen again. He
claimed that he left filming of his movie for a
whole month in order to shoot the rest of season
(06:56):
five of Yellowstone, but when he arrived there was no
and that's when things imploded. Taylor Sheridan said that Costner's
decision disappointed him as it truncates the closure of his character.
It was a clunky way to get rid of John
Dutton the way they did so, But how else are
you gonna What do you do? Do you just I
(07:20):
honestly thought that there was a time when they would
just not do a season five, just leave that thing open,
because in all honesty, it brings with that sort of mystery,
brings with it Artistically, I think it brings a good
lot of questions and it continues the discussion. Financially, it
(07:40):
makes zero sense. They were rolling in the money and
there's no way that they would not make a season five.
Speaker 6 (07:46):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
A couple of stories that we are following. Nobel Prize
for Peace was handed out today. It actually went to
Maria Corina, Shadow of Venezuela. They said that she is
a woman who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid
a growing darkness. She dedicated her prize to the Venezuelan
people and to President Trump for his decisive support of
(08:14):
the cause. New York's Attorney General, Letitia James indicted by
a federal grand jury in Virginia. We'll talk more about
it when we get into swamp Watch, because this case,
they said, actually echoes ironically the case that she brought
against Donald Trump. She was charged with one count of
bank fraud, one count of making false statements to a
financial institution. The President has said that she falsely claimed
(08:40):
that a home in Virginia was her second residence, which
allowed her to get more favorable loan terms, and that
she had rented the property, et cetera. So we'll talk
more about it again at the top of the top
of the hour. Dodgers do advance to the NLCS. They
won an extra innings against the Phillies and the Cubs
also beat the Brewers that actually forced a game five.
(09:00):
Whoever wins tomorrow's game between the Brewers and Cubs five
pm in Milwaukee actually will face the Dodgers in the
NLCS starting on Monday, And we don't know where yet
because if the Brewers win, it's going to be in Milwaukee.
If the Cubs win, it will be in Los Angeles.
And what time is that game? Again five o'clock, five
o'clock tonight at five Tiger's Mariners game five.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
You're doing at five o'clock our time? Yeah wow, So
that's it's a late start. Is that always the way
it is on the East Coast? Like eight o'clock at night?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Oh yeah wow. That's why you love living on the
West Coast. It is sports. I can't I can't stay
up that late for all this stuff. We have a
chance for you to win a thousand bucks. Here's how

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Katie Porter is having a rough week. First it was
the sit down interview she did where she appears to
cut it off because she doesn't want to answer questions.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
She gets combative with the reporter. It was a bad look.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Then in older video surfaces showing her lose her s
on a staffer for getting into quoting her quoting here,
getting into her effing shot. Get out of my shot.
It's an awful look. And now we've got another one
where she's frustrated with staff members over bright studio lighting.
So this is the third controversial video featuring the front
(10:57):
runner for California governor this week.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Oh yes, this is why I.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Didn't want to do.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I need the lights off, the bright lights. I'm so sorry,
but I am about to get on Berdad. I need
you to turn these off that are killing me. Hang
on one second, everybody, lights go completely off? Yes, yes,
we should have yes, Okay, everybody, I'm not that dark.
(11:22):
If she's doing that slow simmer thing where she's just as.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
She's oh, you can tell she goes from zero to
one hundred and twenty real quick. You can see why
she dumped hot mashed potatoes on her now ex husband.
She has a temper problem, and she did go to
anchor management at point and this is what the product is.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
She should get her money back. Well, I wonder what
she's not yelling no, but she, as you said, that
is a quiet simmer.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
That is the Palisades fire between the days of January
first and January seventh. She's about to erupt and she's
going to go scorch to earth on those people. Gosh, wow,
I wonder how quickly how many times a day she
goes from zero to one hundred like that, Like, I
wonder if it's quick to happen, or if like that's
(12:18):
the third such instance where she's she's tested, she's frustrated,
she's annoyed with people or whatever, and then she blows
or if she.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Just blows and blows and blows and we know people, right,
I'm sure everybody has somebody like this in their life
where if you point out this, I mean, I I'd
love to know what's going on today with Katie Porter
and the people that she's talking to running for governors
keeping this stuff and she's demanding to know the leak
and all. Well, when you point out to someone that
(12:50):
they are angry or that they look back, you know
you're you're you're completely overblowing the situation. Nobody ever comes
down from that and they go, oh, you're right, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't if they if she's doing this over something
like lighting in a shot on a zoom call that
I mean, that doesn't really matter. You tell her she's
(13:12):
making the mountain out of a mole hill and she's
gonna make Mount Everest. Well, that's the thing. I don't.
I don't think that she takes to that con.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
I don't think anyone's telling her, hey, you're you're acting crazy.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
It's a little too much. Like sometimes she goes like this,
you want mashed potatoes? Is that what you want? You
want the mashed potatoes. You'll do that to me sometimes.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
So you'll be like, okay, all right, and you'll put
your hands up like Katie Porter puts their hands.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Up, and you'll be like, all right, this is unnecessarily.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Aggressive, and I will be like, you know what, you're right,
like I'm overreacting or what have you? Right, don't I
don't double down. I usually backpedal, right.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I'll say the second or third time I say something
is usually when you go, okay, you're probably right. But
immediately sometimes double down.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
That's not sometimes, yes, Can I ask about the mashed potatoes?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah? So there was a report.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I believe it was in the divorce when Katie Porter
got divorced from her now ex husband, where he was
claiming all sorts of abuse and says that she has
an anger problem. She flies off the handle. At one
point she dumped hot mashed potatoes on him.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
That's amazing.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Well, it's you know what it is is My problem
with it is this. I love mashed potatoes me too.
I think they're delicious. My husband makes the best mashed
potatoes with all the garlic and all the butter, and
it's my favorite at the holidays, and for her to
waste them like that is egregious.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Uh expect. I don't know if it's true or not.
I'm just predicting. There will be at least two poles
coming out next week in.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
The Governor's Raven. If they weren't planning it, she won't
be in love with it. You don't want her up
on that pole. Well, you don't need her on that pole.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I'm not sure that that pole is ready for all
of that. Oh to the main stage at Star Garden.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Ladies and gentlemen Tuesday through Friday, Friday night, that's Monday,
bring it day through Sunday.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Sheep.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
We can't, we can't, we can't, we can't even you know,
that's too much.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
That was too much. I apologize, I really do. I'd
like to walk that back. Great. Do we need a
palate cleanser? Do we need some Sherbet up in here?
Speaker 6 (15:31):
I love?
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Isn't Sherbert great? Just maybe some oyster crackers or some
oyster crackers.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Well that's not really oyster crackers or just saltine buters,
puffy little bits of.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Cracker oysters crackers. Shannon will return for some other parts
of later in the show. I will return for later
parts in the show.
Speaker 6 (15:53):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kf
I AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
As we've mentioned a couple of times, ceasefire has finally
taken effect in Gaza under a breakthrough deal. Bombardment stopped.
Israeli troops pulled back in Gaza today under this deal
reached between Israel and Hamas deal reached under pressure from
a bunch of Arab countries from the United States, from
Turkey and is trying to end this two year war
in Gaza. While that's going on, tens of thousands of
(16:22):
Palestinians are now moving back into what's left of some
of the northern Gaza Strip. Questions still remain over who
is going to govern Gaza. Those Israeli troops did pull
back a bit today, and whether or not HAMASA is
even going to disarm. The White House Budget Office is
that mass firings of federal workers started in an attempt
(16:44):
to exert more pressure on lawmakers as the government shutdown continues.
The director of the Office of Management and Buddy Buddies
the Office of Management and Budget says on the social
media site x that RIfS have begun, referring to reduction
in force plans. Now. There is a developing story out
(17:06):
of western Tennessee that we are following an explosion at
a military explosives company. This was in McEwan, Tennessee. The
explosion occurred this morning at a place called Accurate Energetic Systems.
It's about sixty miles outside of Nashville. Authority said some
secondary explosions have prevented rescuers from approaching the site. Caused
(17:30):
the explosion not yet known, but hello it's an explosives manufacturer.
Emergency crews have been able to have not been able,
i should say, to get into the area because of
the ongoing detonations. So the original reports out of Nashville
television station I saw said that there were nineteen people
unaccounted for, and that they're now saying that there are
(17:57):
excuse me, there are some deaths, but they do not
have a number. Residents several miles away said they heard
the explosion video shows flames and heavy smoke. I mean,
the images that are coming out of WTVF there in
Nashville have showed just absolute utter destruction. There's not a
(18:20):
section of these buildings that is still standing, and they
were using the big stuff. They were using obviously military
grade tnt C four and other kinds of explosive ingredients
in this explosion. So if there is an update, there
is an expectation that we're going to get an update
from rescue crews in that area soon. A continuation of
(18:43):
a story that we told you first about yesterday, several
people have come forward now to say that they were
victimized by this woman that they are describing as a
playboy or penthouse model, because that's how she describes herself.
The woman's name is Adva Lavi. She has been telling
people that she appeared in Playboy and Penthouse and claims
(19:06):
to be the first ever top Israeli OnlyFans model, and
then gains the victims trust before she steals from their homes.
Five to seven, one hundred and four, brown hair, brown eyes,
drives that black Porsche or a white Mercedes Benz, goes
by several aliases. And we told you about it. Shoshana
and Shanna and Mia and all those the Michael Sartaine,
(19:33):
is host of a local podcast, said that well, he
was a guest on an election night show of his podcast.
She went into the green room and stole his credit
cards and cash from the purses of all of the
female panelists. Said that she got up at the forty
five minute mark. She was gone for forty five minutes.
She just went through everyone's bag. Now there's another guy.
(19:58):
An adult film star named Odie Steele told KTLA that
he was victimized by this woman while working at a
party company. The company had hired a bunch of people
to go to France to work at an event and
put the group up in an Airbnb. He said while
they were there, this woman stole luxury items from him
and some others that were there. The French authorities were
(20:19):
called and after they investigated, they made her return all
of the items. She decided to pretty much rob everyone
in the group, essentially anything marked with a designer label. Now,
over the years, apparently this woman has been a fixture
at a bunch of charity events in La and Vegas
and has been known to threaten her victims to try
(20:42):
to keep them from going to police. And again this
Cody Steele guy said she'd threatened to file a sex
assault charge or say that the guy offered her money
for sex or something for that effect. She has been
in jail before. She was arrested last May on a
felony charge and then bailed out, but it's not clear
if the charge was related to any of these alleged burglaries.
They're specifically looking at her out in the Malibu Lost
(21:04):
Hills area, urging anybody who may have had some similar
interactions with this woman to come forward. Sheriff's department is
the one that's it's taken the lead on this. So
the whole playboy penthouse thing and that she's been involved
with charity events pretty actively. Is an added wrinkle to
(21:24):
all of this. Here we go. Coming up, there is
an alternate to the halftime show that's being planned, and
it's by an organization that's been in the news lately.
Not for the right reasons, but it's been in the
news lately. We'll tell you about Turning Point USA's halftime
show that they're planning to counter whatever NFL is going
(21:45):
to do with Bad Bunny.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
We are following today. Of course, the Middle East piece
ord has apparently taken hold. The Israeli military says this
ceasefire went into effect at noon Israel time today, setting
the stage for the release of remaining hostages. There will
be an influx of humanitarian aid that is expected to
go into Gaza as a result. We do expect to
(22:17):
see the hostages released either Monday or Tuesday, maybe a
combination of the both. Judge in Chicago's issued a temporary
restraining order to block the deployment of National Guard troops
in Illinois. In another case, one pertaining to Portland, Oregon,
the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals at least, the three
judge panel appeared likely to grant the request of the
(22:39):
administration to pause the lower court ruling that blocked its
efforts to deploy troops to Portland. Let's see, Subtropical Storm
Karen has formed now the eleventh named storm of the
twenty twenty five Atlantic hurricane season, raises concerns along the
east coast of the United States. And we've got a
couple here which brought got some showers to southern California
(23:01):
yesterday in a few areas, and could today and tomorrow
as well. The remnants of two hurricanes Priscilla and Okatave
have developed along another with another storm along the Mexican coast,
And in fact, the concern there is that as those
move closer to the United States, up along the border
(23:22):
through Baja, et cetera, that we're going to see a
bunch of flooding. In fact, the National Weather Service has
placed a moderate level three out of four flood risk
in Arizona today. The cities of Phoenix and Flagstaff, et cetera.
Also flood watches, i should say, for parts of southern California, Nevada,
southern Utah, southwestern Colorado, at etc. We're doing Gas Fantasy
(23:45):
for play coming up in the twelve o'clock hours, so
test your football knowledge. We've got four games Elmer's going
to pick for us, and we'll see if we can
pick the winners for all four of those games. Speaking of,
of course, super Bowl rolls along in February of next This.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Is George from Northridge. I'm seventy years old. I can't
remember the last time I sat down to see a
whole Super Bowl game. I used to enjoy the commercials,
but now I don't need to because I can just
look at them on YouTube. Now, as far as the
super Bowl's concerned, I really don't care that much about
(24:22):
who's in it. The other thing I really care about
the super Bowl at halftime is the puppy show.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Well thanks, George. Yeah. Counterprogramming to the super Bowl halftime
show has become kind of an industry in and of itself,
hasn't it. I mean, the original Super Bowl halftime shows
were not good. Literally the first super Bowl in January
of nineteen sixty seven at the Coliseum, they played music
(24:52):
like the Sound of Music soundtrack when the Saints go
Marching in Bury me not on the lone Prairie. They
even played part of the William Tell overture. Oh and
to give you an idea of what we'll talk about
here in terms of a more patriotic halftime show, they
(25:13):
also played the Liberty Bell March and March along together,
and this is My Country. The Grambling College Marching Band
and the US Chorus played that together. This is the
super Bowl four, which was actually played in New Orleans.
They did when the Saints Go Marching in again super
(25:35):
Bowl six, also in New Orleans, Ella Fitzgerald and al
Hurt came together to sing Mac the Knife. That's kind
of when it lost the most of its I guess
you could say patriotism. They did this Land is Your
Land in super Bowl seven by the University of Michigan
Marching Band. But that's what everybody thought halftimes were was
(25:56):
marching bands. And that's kind of how it changed when
you get into the eighties, et cetera, and you start
to see some more I guess the up with people
back in Super Bowl sixteen, God, that sounds awful. You
really didn't have a lot of celebrities in that halftime
(26:17):
show until say nineteen eighty seven, when they saluted Hollywood.
George Burns and Mickey Rooney were part of that one.
Super Bowl twenty two, Chubby Checker and the Rockets. I mean,
we didn't really get to see big name musical acts
until arguably Super Bowl twenty five. New Kids on the
(26:39):
Block came in and I was gonna say, knock the
socks off everybody. I couldn't tell you. I couldn't tell
you what was what that one was, Which one was
the one with Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson was twenty seven,
which was January of nineteen ninety three, and it was
here at the Rose Bowl. And that makes sense that
(27:02):
one was cool because he like he disappeared and appeared
on stage. It was amazing. Yeah, I still watched that video.
The one after that went full Country because it was
in Georgia, Clint Black, Tenya Tucker, Travis Tritt and the Judge.
Then you go back to Patty LaBelle, Teddy Pendergrass, Tony Bennett,
(27:23):
Miami Sound Machine in nineteen ninety five. I mean there again.
It started out with marching bands. Now it's gone all
the way to Bad Bunny, and Bad Bunny has been
chosen to be the halftime act for the next Super Bowl,
and he joked around that everybody's got four months to
learn Spanish. I guess turning points USA. This organization, of
(27:47):
course founded by Charlie Kirk, and I mentioned they've been
in the headlines unfortunately because of the assassination of Charlie
Kirk last month. They posted on yesterday on social media
plans to produce the All American halftime Show, and they
said that it's very clear it's going to be counter
programming to whatever you're going to see on the telecast
(28:10):
for the actual Super Bowl game. And when you look
for details, by the way they threw it up on
social media, there's a link that sends you to their
website and it asks you to just write your name,
your contact information, and what musical genre preference you have.
So they give you several options. Do you like Americana,
(28:34):
classic rock, country, hip hop, pop, or worship? Those different
was at six different genres, and then there's also a
category that says anything in English. I don't know if
they're just going to do it online, if there's a
(28:55):
channel that's going to pick us up, a cable channel
or whatever that's going to do this, but the counter
programming at halftime shows. As George mentioned right at the
beginning of that is kind of funny because you have
TV stations who have or cable channels whatever, who have
used the marketing lines, perhaps of the Super Bowl in
(29:20):
an attempt to draw viewers. Cartoon Network had some DIY
Network had one called Toilet Bowl that was all bathroom
related programming, Puppy Bowl Marathon, Doctor Pimple Popper does a
bunch of stuff that's counter programming for all of this.
They did a marathon of Glee, the TV show Glee,
(29:41):
and some Glee themed episodes of The Simpsons. Because there's
a belief that those people who like Glee, or who
like puppies, or who like doing toilet work on their
DIY afternoons, that they're not watching the super Bowl. And
I don't know that. I know a lot of people
who don't give two corny turns about football that are
(30:01):
going to watch the Super Bowl because it's more of
an event than it is. It's more about the event
than it is about the sporting even though they are
one and the same. Anyway, when we come back, we'll
get into swamp Watch. Don't forget today is Friday. So

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
